The services we have been engaged to provide are outlined below, but we are also available to provide additional services at your request: 1) Audit of the Basic Financial Statements, and assistance with the preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. 2) Testing one program for compliance with the Single Audit Act and applicable laws and regulations and issuance of our report thereon. 3) Testing of compliance for the Transportation Development Act (TDA) programs and preparation of required reports, if necessary. 4) Testing of compliance with the Agreement for Distribution of Measure A Funds and issuance of our report thereon. 5) Testing of compliance with the Agreement for Distribution of Measure W Funds and issuance of our report thereon. 6) Agreed Upon Procedures applied to the City’s Gann Limit and issuance of our report thereon. 7) Preparation of the City’s Annual Report of Financial Transactions (Controller’s Report) and issuance of a compilation report. (See Compilation Attachment for Our Responsibilities and Your Responsibilities related to the compilation report) 8) Assistance with preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. 9) GASB 84, Fiduciary Activities – Additional audit procedures (fiscal year 2021). 10) GASB 87, Leases – Additional audit procedures (fiscal year 2022).                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis, to supplement the City’s basic financial statements. Such information, 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. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the City’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding 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 will 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. If the City’s financial statements are accompanied by supplementary information other than RSI, we will subject the supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole, in a report combined with our auditor’s report on the financial statements. Other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and our auditor’s report will not provide an opinion or any assurance on that information. Audit Objectives The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions as to whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the accompanying supplementary information when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The objective also includes reporting on: x Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. x Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters will include a paragraph that states that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering internal control and compliance. The Uniform Guidance report on internal control over compliance will include a paragraph that states that the purpose of the report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Both reports will state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose.                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Our audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major program(s) in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit. We will make reference to the auditor of the South San Francisco Conference Center Authority in our reports on your financial statements. Our reports will be addressed to the Council of the City. We cannot provide assurance that unmodified opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinions or add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with City management in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or may withdraw from this engagement. Audit Procedures - General An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the City or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the City. Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Governmental Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, an unavoidable risk exists that some material misstatements or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of cash, investments and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, funding sources, creditors and financial institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill the City for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit we will also require certain written representations from management about management’s responsibilities for the financial statements; schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements; and other responsibilities required by generally accepted auditing standards.                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Audit Procedures - Internal Control Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the City and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. As required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and the Council internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance. Audit Procedures - Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the City’s compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance, and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the City has complied with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of federal awards applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major program. For federal programs that are included in the 2021 Compliance Supplement (or 2022 Compliance Supplement, as applicable), our compliance and internal control procedures will relate to the compliance requirements that the 2021 Compliance Supplement (or 2022 Compliance Supplement, as applicable), identifies as being subject to audit. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance. Agreed-Upon Procedures Our services to apply agreed-upon procedures that were specified and agreed to by the City related to the Appropriations Limit Worksheet (Worksheet) for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, as suggested by the League of California Cities and presented in their Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines, will be conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures performed or to be performed is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in the report and we will require an acknowledgement in writing of that responsibility. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described in the report either for the purpose for which the agreed-upon procedures report has been requested or for any other purpose.                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 We reviewed the scope of services in conjunction with the Government Auditing Standards and believe that they do not impinge upon our independence. Because the procedures requested do not constitute an examination or review, we will not express an opinion or conclusion on the Worksheet. In addition, we have no obligation to perform any procedures beyond those agreed to. We will issue a written report upon completion of our engagement that lists the procedures performed and our findings. Our report will be addressed to the City. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete any of the procedures, we will describe in our report any restrictions on the performance of the procedures, or not issue a report and withdraw from this engagement. You understand that the report is intended solely for the information and use of the City, and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. Our report will contain a paragraph stating that had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. An agreed-upon procedures engagement is not designed to detect instances of fraud or noncompliance with laws or regulations; however, we will communicate to you any known and suspected fraud and noncompliance with laws or regulations affecting the Worksheet that come to our attention. In addition, if, in connection with this engagement, matters come to our attention that contradict the Worksheet, we will disclose those matters in our report. You are responsible for the Worksheet and that it is in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution; and for selecting the criteria and procedures and determining that such criteria and procedures are appropriate for your purposes. You are responsible for, and agree to provide us with, a written assertion about the Worksheet. In addition, you are responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the performance of the agreed-upon procedures on the subject matter, (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of performing the agreed-upon procedures, and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom we determine it necessary to obtain evidence relating to performing those procedures. At the conclusion of our engagement, we will require certain written representations in the form of a representation letter from management that, among other things, will confirm management’s responsibility for the presentation of the Worksheet in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. Other Services We will also assist in preparing the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Uniform Guidance based on information provided by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and the related notes services previously defined. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management’s responsibilities.                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Management Responsibilities Management is responsible for (1) designing, implementing, establishing and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; (2) following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and (4) ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. Management is also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and all accompanying information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal statutes) and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements). Management’s responsibilities also include identifying significant contractor relationships in which the contractor has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. Management is also responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. Management is also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which management is aware is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, including identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions; (2) access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and other information as needed to perform an audit under the Uniform Guidance; (3) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (4) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. We understand that the City will provide us with the Closing Checklist information required for our audit and that the City is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information. Management’s responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole. Management is responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the City involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management’s responsibilities include informing us of its knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the City received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, management is responsible for identifying and ensuring that it complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements and grants. Management is also responsible for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements that we report. Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance, it is management’s responsibility to evaluate and monitor noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards; take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified including noncompliance identified in audit findings; promptly follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings; and prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a separate corrective action plan.

Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other We may from time to time, and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers, but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers. At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. It is management’s responsibility to electronically submit the reporting package (including financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings, auditor’s reports, and corrective action plan) along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse.

The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors’ reports or nine months after the end of the audit period.

Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing privileged and confidential information, copies of our reports are to be made available for public inspection. The audit documentation for this engagement is our property and constitutes confidential information. However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available upon request and in a timely manner to a federal agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of Maze & Associates personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. We will retain audit documentation for this engagement for seven years after the report release date pursuant to state regulations. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation. We expect to begin our audit in May of each year and to issue our reports no later than December 31 of each year (2021 and 2022).

Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Our fees for these services are billed based on our contract with the City. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if the City’s account becomes thirty days or more overdue and may not be resumed until the City’s account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed our report(s). You will be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the date of termination. These fees are based on anticipated cooperation from City personnel, the completion of schedules and data requested on our Checklists by City personnel, preparation of audit confirmations we request by City personnel, location of any documents selected by us for testing, and the assumption that there will be no unexpected increases in work scope, such as new Single Audit Act major programs, new debt issues, etc., or delays which are beyond our control, as discussed on the Fees Attachment to this letter. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with City management and arrive at a new fee before we incur any additional costs. We understand you will provide us with basic workspace sufficient to accommodate the audit team assigned to your audit. We understand the basic workspace will be equipped with a telephone and direct Internet access, preferably a temporary network outside of your network, a public IP address and a wired connection. We understand you will also provide us with access to a fax machine and read only access to your general ledger system. You may request that we perform additional services not addressed in this engagement letter. If this occurs, we will communicate with you regarding the scope of the additional services and the estimated fees. We also may issue a separate engagement letter covering the additional services. In the absence of any other written communication from us documenting such additional services, or services will continue to be governed by the terms of this engagement letter. Government Auditing Standards require that we provide the City with a copy of our most recent external peer review report and any subsequent peer review reports received during the period of the contract. Our most recent peer review report accompanies this letter. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know.

These report copies are high quality, but do not include any bookmarks or hyperlinks and the file sizes may be large, depending on the length of the report. If you would like a higher quality PDF file with bookmarks and hyperlinks in the table of contents, we have listed three options below. Please contact us for more information on the specifics of these options. Please contact us if you would like us to prepare one of the following three options for your CAFR, or if you’d like a quote for the preparation of a file for another type of report. In addition, should you decide on one of the following options, please let us know at least a week in advance. 1. WEB PDF CAFR - $785 2. CAMERA READY PDF CAFR - $1,100 3. INDIVIDUAL PDF CAFR PAGES - $210                      Ver PPC ALG-CL-1.2 2/20 Additional Services - The above fees are for audit and assurance services described in the accompanying engagement letter. They do not include fees for assisting with closing the books nor providing other accounting services. Should the City require assistance beyond audit services we will provide a cost estimate before proceeding. Report Finalization - Our fee is based on our understanding that all information and materials necessary to finalize all our reports will be provided to us before we complete our year-end fieldwork in your offices. In the case of CAFRs, this includes all the materials and information required to print the CAFR. As in the past, we will provide final drafts of all our reports before we leave your offices. We will schedule a Final Changes Meeting with you for a date no more than two weeks after we complete our fieldwork. At that meeting, we will finalize all reports for printing. After that date, report changes you make and changes required because information was not received timely will be billed at our normal hourly rates. Post-Closing Client Adjusting Entries - The first step in our year-end audit is the preparation of financial statement drafts from your final closing trial balance. That means any entries you make after handing us your closing trial balance must be handled as audit adjustments, or in extreme cases, by re-inputting the entire trial balance, even if the amounts are immaterial. If you make such entries and the amounts are in fact immaterial, we will bill you for the costs of the adjustments or re-input at our normal hourly rates. Recurring Audit Adjustments - Each year we include the prior year’s adjusting entries as new steps in our Closing Checklist, so that you can incorporate these entries in your closing. If we are required to continue to make these same adjustments as part of this year’s audit, we will bill for this service at our normal hourly rates. CAFR Printing - As a convenience, we can send your CAFR to a printer we use locally. We do not charge for delivering camera-ready print masters to any printer of your choice and delivering the CAFRs or BFS to you. However, we will bill you for any additional time spent on the CAFR printing at our normal hourly rates. This includes changes after the report goes to the printer, obtaining, reviewing and / or delivering printer’s proofs, etc. We can also help with CAFR design, including covers, tabs, dividers, color choices, bindings, organization charts, maps, etc. We will estimate these costs for you before proceeding. Single Audit Act - Additional programs will each cost $5,800, unless there are other factors which add to that program’s cost; in that case, we will provide a cost estimate before proceeding. Grant Programs Requiring Separate Audit - Grant programs requiring separate audits represent a significant increase in work scope, and fees for these audits vary based on the grant requirements. If you wish us to determine and identify which programs are subject to audit, we will bill you for that time at our normal hourly rates. Changes in City Personnel - Our experience is that changes and /or reductions in Finance Department staff can have a pronounced impact on costs of performing the audit. If such changes occur, we will meet with you to assess their impact and arrive at a new fee before we begin the next phase of our work. However, we reserve the right to revisit this subject at the conclusion of the audit, based on your actual performance and our actual costs.
