FINANCIAL SECTION This section contains the following subsections: REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management s Discussion and Analysis As Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller for Escambia County, we offer readers of Escambia County s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Escambia County for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Financial Highlights Escambia County s assets exceeded its liabilities (net assets) as of September 30 th, by $579,736,233 for fiscal year 2009. Of this amount, $101,685,738 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the government s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Unrestricted net assets increased $10,295,564 from the previous year. The County s total net assets this fiscal year increased $32,753,495 from the previous year with an increase of $29,862,465 resulting from governmental activities and an increase of $2,891,030 resulting from business-type activities. At September 30, Escambia County s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $141,758,207, an increase of $7,113,629 in comparison with the prior year. Of this amount, $84,123,131 remains in the various fund types of the County as unreserved. The General Fund reported an unreserved fund balance of $31,635,915; a decrease from last fiscal year of $15,322,551. Escambia County s total bonded debt, leases and loans decreased $4,940,718 from the previous fiscal year. One new loan was entered into for $1,227,000. Principal repayments account for the decrease. Governmental Funds revenues decreased $21,622,084 or 7% over the prior fiscal year. Due to the reduction in the ad valorem millage rate along with reductions in assessed property values, property tax revenues decreased in fiscal year 2009 by approximately $23 million. Additionally, due to the State s audit efforts, the telecommunications service tax due to Escambia County increased approximately $1.7 million. Electric franchise fees increased approximately $800,000, and the local option sales tax (LOST) collections decreased approximately $2.8 million Closure estimates of the County s Perdido Landfill approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and interest earned on the account during the fiscal year resulted in a decrease to the cash closure escrow account of $1,395,732. The county now holds $4,981,394 in escrow for closure purposes. The decrease in the required cash escrow allows the Solid Waste Fund to use those funds for on-going projects at the landfill. Interest rates continued to decline during fiscal year 2009, resulting in decreased interest earnings for the County. The County s average investment portfolio yield declined from 3.23% in 2008 to.92% in 2009. 3

Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Escambia County s basic financial statements, which include government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements which may be of interest to the reader. Government-Wide Financial Statements Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide a broad overview of the financial position of Escambia County and are similar to private-sector financial statements. They include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Activities. These appear on pages 20 22 of the report. The Statement of Net Assets shows the County s assets less its liabilities at September 30, 2009. The difference between these assets and liabilities is reported as net assets. Changes in net assets over time may be helpful in indicating an improving or deteriorating financial position. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. The statement presents all underlying events giving rise to the change, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Some included items, such as accounts payable or earned but unused vacation leave, will produce changes in cash in a future fiscal period. These two government-wide statements distinguish functions of Escambia County that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (businesstype activities). Governmental activities reported in the statements include general government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, human services, culture and recreation, and court related functions. Major business activities in Escambia County include landfill operations and ambulance service. Other business activities include inspections and the Civic Center. The governmentwide financial statements include not only Escambia County itself (known as the primary government), but also the Santa Rosa Island Authority, the Housing Finance Authority, and the Escambia County Law Library, all legally separate entities for which Escambia County is financially accountable or with which the County is financially integrated. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information for the primary government itself. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Like other state and local governments, Escambia County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All funds of Escambia County government can be divided into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds. Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions as those reported in the government-wide statement of net assets and statement of activities. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on events that produce near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on the balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year and is a narrower focus than the governmentwide financial statements. Such information may be useful in evaluating Escambia County s near-term financing requirements and available resources. By comparing functions between the two sets of statements for governmental funds and governmental activities, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government s near term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison. 4

Governmental funds individually presented in Escambia County s statements include five major funds: the General Fund, the Disaster Recovery Fund, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Fund, the Transportation and Drainage Fund, and the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) Fund. Although there are many smaller governmental funds in Escambia County s government, they have been aggregated in a total column termed as other governmental funds. Combining statements for these other governmental funds have been presented in the Combining Statements and Schedules section of this report. Escambia County adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental funds. Budgetary comparison statements and schedules have been provided for these funds to demonstrate budgetary compliance. Proprietary Funds. Escambia County maintains and presents two different types of proprietary funds-- enterprise and internal service. Enterprise funds report, in detail, the same information presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements for landfill operations, building inspections, ambulance and emergency medical services, and Civic Center operations. Inspections and Civic Center are presented in one total column but may be separately reviewed in the combining statements elsewhere in the report. The internal service fund is an accounting mechanism to accumulate and allocate costs internally for Escambia County s government. The County uses an internal service fund to account for the risk financing activities for the County s insurance program. Although the risk management program has transitioned to being fully insured in all areas, there are several residual workers compensation cases that were incurred prior to June 9, 2008, that are still considered self insured. Garage and fuel activities provided to other County departments and the administration of employee benefits are also included in the internal service fund. The Sheriff and Clerk each use an Internal Service Fund to account for the annual costs related to the Compensated Absences Policy activities provided for by each respective office, as well as to accumulate certain compensated absences liabilities. The internal service fund is presented in one total column in the Proprietary Funds financial statements but may be separately reviewed in the combining statements elsewhere in the report. Fiduciary Funds. Escambia County uses fiduciary agency funds to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of county government. Although these funds are presented in the fund financial statements, they do not appear in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of these agency funds are not available to support Escambia County s own programs. Agency funds are unlike all other fund types in that agency funds report only assets and liabilities. They do however, use the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and payables. Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. Other Information. Combining and individual statements and schedules referred to earlier, which present more detailed views of nonmajor funds used in governmental and proprietary funds, includes schedules for nonmajor special revenue funds, capital project funds, enterprise funds, internal service funds, and agency funds. Additional information about the County is found under the Statistical and Continuing Disclosure sections of this report. 5

Government-Wide Financial Analysis Comparative data for fiscal years ending September 30, 2009 and 2008 are included in the analysis. Escambia County, Florida Net Assets (in thousands) Governmental Business-type Activities Activities Total 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 Current and other assets $204,656 $195,310 $19,076 $21,905 $223,732 $217,215 Capital assets 528,029 507,240 47,589 43,156 575,618 550,396 Total assets 732,685 702,550 66,665 65,061 799,350 767,611 Long-term liabilities 152,539 168,351 14,335 16,367 166,874 184,718 Other liabilities 48,880 32,795 3,861 3,115 52,741 35,910 Total liabilities 201,419 201,146 18,196 19,482 219,615 220,628 Net assets: Invested in capital assets net of related debt 421,039 411,670 47,589 43,157 468,628 454,827 Restricted 9,422 766 0 0 9,422 766 Unrestricted 100,805 88,968 880 2,422 101,685 91,390 $531,266 $501,404 $48,469 $45,579 $579,735 $546,983 The overall financial position of the County is favorable in both fiscal years 2009 and 2008. As noted earlier, changes in net assets over time can be one of the best and most useful indicators of the County s financial position. Escambia County s increase in net assets for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $32,753,495 and $13,651,764, respectively. Overall, the County experienced an increase in net assets of approximately 6%. Escambia County s commitment to maintaining and improving infrastructure in order to foster economic development is a major component of net asset growth. As in the prior year, at the end of the fiscal year 2009, the County as a whole, is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets. The County s unrestricted net assets at September 30, 2009 increased $10,295,564 from 2008. This increase is mainly due to favorable outcomes in both the General Fund and the LOST Fund. The General Fund experienced a favorable outcome even though property taxes decreased nearly $23 million. This decrease in taxes was accompanied by reduced general government expenses of approximately $6 million, increased culture/recreation expenses of nearly $500,000, and reduced public safety expenses of roughly $7.3 million. There was nearly $2 million less expenses for transportation related projects during fiscal year 2009. Additionally, as explained further on page 12, the LOST Fund received an unexpected refund of $11 million due to the cancellation of a joint Public Safety Building project between the County and Pensacola Junior College (PJC). The County s restricted net assets increased from 2008 by $8,656,329. This increase reflects the County s action to set aside and reserve cash reserves from the general fund to be used for future debt service payments. By doing so, current year non-ad valorem revenues can be used for on-going projects and expenses. Unrestricted net assets are County resources that may be used to meet the County s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors while restricted net assets are resources subject to external restriction. Escambia County s investment in capital assets such as land, roads, parks, buildings, machinery and equipment, as a percentage of net assets, amounts to 80.83% and 83.15% at September 2009, and 2008, respectively. These asset values are presented less any outstanding debt related to the acquisition and accumulated depreciation of those assets. The County uses capital assets to provide services to the citizens and consequently these assets are not available for future spending. Although our investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this 6

debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The graph below illustrates the allocation of government-wide net assets for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. Government-Wide Net Assets (in thousands) 500,000 400,000 300,000 200,000 2009 2008 100,000 0 Invested in capital assets net of related debt Retricted Unrestricted Cash and investment accounts of the County s funds increased a total of $7,835,022 from the previous year, increasing $9,232,647 of that amount in the current asset category and decreasing $1,397,625 in the restricted asset category. The aforementioned reductions in expenses along with the $11 million refund from PJC were the major reasons for the positive cash accumulations in the current asset category and positive changes resulting in less cash accumulation for the landfill closure estimates explains the decrease in the restricted cash category. A comparison of current unrestricted assets as compared to current unrestricted liabilities for both governmental and business-type activities can be a good indication of the County s ability to meet its current and existing operational responsibilities. The ratios for both years are as follows: Escambia County, Florida Comparison of Current Unrestricted Assets and Liabilities (in thousands) Fiscal year ending September 30, 2009: Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Current unrestricted assets $203,058 $13,694 Current unrestricted liabilities $34,656 $3,354 Ratio of current assets to current liabilities 5.86 4.08 Fiscal year ending September 30, 2008: Current unrestricted assets $193,617 $15,106 Current unrestricted liabilities $32,748 $2,728 Ratio of current assets to current liabilities 5.91 5.54 The County continues to maintain healthy ratios as noted above which indicates more than adequate cash flows of Escambia County. 7

Changes in net assets are reflected in the next table. Changes in the governmental and business activities will be discussed in the pages to follow.

Governmental Activities Legislative changes and constitutional amendments to the Florida State Constitution during 2008 placed restrictions on the amount of property tax revenues received by the County. Fiscal year 2009 was the second full year impacted by these changes. Despite these restrictions, the Board of County Commissioners reduced the millage rate in order to give some tax relief to the citizens. The millage rate was reduced to 6.976, a 13% reduction from the fiscal year 2008 millage rate of 8.017. The reduction in millage taken with a 5.8% reduction in assessed property values resulted in an approximate $23 million reduction in property tax revenue. The $4.7 million reduction in sales tax revenues reflects the continued general decline in the State s economy. The reduction in other taxes includes a reduction in gas taxes as the price of gasoline has fallen in comparison to record highs during fiscal year 2008. Overall, the County experienced a 1.8% decline in governmental activities revenue and a corresponding 8.9% decrease in governmental activities expenses. Changes for fiscal year 2009 occurred with a 7% decrease in general government, a 5.8% decrease in public safety, a 41% decrease in physical environment, a 4.5% decrease in transportation, a 33% decrease in economic environment, a 27% decrease in human services, and a 10% increase in culture/recreation. Interest costs on debt increased 9.5% as a result of interest paid on an interfund loan between the Disaster Recovery Fund and the LOST Fund. Overall, these decreased costs reflect the County s continuing commitment to manage the basic needs of our growing population with the available resources. This combination of increases and decreases in various functional areas described above resulted in an increase in governmental net assets of $29,862,465 which is $15,867,567 more than last year s net assets increase of $13,994,898. The graph below illustrates the sources of governmental activities revenues. Governmental Activities - Revenue by Source For the Fiscal Year 2009 Unrestricted interest 1% Sales taxes 16% State shared revenue 3% Gas taxes 4% Sale of assets 0% Miscellaneous revenues 4% Charges for Services 18% Operating grants and contributions 5% Tourist development taxes 2% Property taxes 36% Capital grants and contributions 11% 9

Governmental Function Expenses The general government, public safety, and transportation functions account for most of the total governmental activities expense (85.25%). On a percentage basis, public safety generates the smallest amount of program revenues with $95,163,868 of costs paid for with taxpayer dollars. The table below illustrates the net cost of each of the County s programs. The net cost of service reflected below identifies the extent to which each governmental function draws from the general revenues of the County rather than being self-supporting through fees or charges. In other words, the financial burden for these functions is placed on the County s taxpayers. Governmental Activities Total Cost Percentage of Net Cost Percentage of Function of Service Total of Service Total General government $68,563,393 25.27% $39,530,408 23.51% Public safety 118,798,741 43.80% 95,163,868 56.60% Physical environment 4,348,338 1.60% 455,902 0.27% Transportation 43,887,309 16.18% 19,497,440 11.60% Economic environment 11,326,435 4.18% 2,653,609 1.58% Human services 3,385,599 1.25% 2,831,484 1.68% Culture and recreation 5,850,960 2.16% 5,413,719 3.22% Court related 8,606,824 3.17% (3,874,783) -2.30% Interest on long term debt 6,470,606 2.39% 6,470,606 3.85% Total $271,238,205 100.00% $168,142,253 100.00% Business-type Activities Business-type activities increased the County s net assets slightly by $2,891,030 for the fiscal year 2009 as compared to a decrease of $343,134 for fiscal year 2008. Revenues in most funds decreased, accompanied by a decrease in expenses. This curtailing of expenses has helped put these funds in better condition by building equity reserves. Key elements of decreased revenues and expenses between the years can be explained as follows: The Solid Waste fund experienced an 18% decrease in charges for services revenue partially due to the new voluntary curbside recycling program that went into effect during fiscal year 2009. The Solid Waste Fund does not charge Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) a tipping fee for recyclables that had previously been included in the dumping fee calculation. The Solid Waste Fund experienced a reduction in the closure cost estimates of almost $2 million, which overall reduced their operating expenses. New landfill mining techniques that were initiated during fiscal year 2008 have enabled the landfill to increase capacity of the landfill while reducing the costs for long-term closure and maintenance of the Perdido Landfill. The Inspections Fund continues to experience a decline in the number of permits issued. Fiscal year 2009 licenses and permits revenues decreased 21.3% which is reflective of the trend of reduced activity in the real estate market not only nationally, but locally as well. The Civic Center Fund experienced a 4.3% decrease in revenues in fiscal year 2009. There was a 37.3% increase in the amount of transfer subsidy from the Tourist Development Tax. The decrease in revenue was accompanied by a 10.48% decrease in contractual services which when combined, resulted in a slight decrease in net assets of $204,797. The Civic Center Fund faired much better in fiscal year 2009 with an 83% improvement over the $1,204,959 reduction in net assets during fiscal year 2008. The Ambulance Fund experienced a marked improvement in fiscal year 2009 with an increase in net assets of $2,231,946 compared to fiscal 2008 s increase of $389,208. Several reasons contributed to this improvement, namely a 6.45% decrease in personal services expense, a 4.10% decrease in bad debt expense, and an 11.80% decrease in materials and supplies expense, a $1.5 million subsidy from the General Fund, and capital contributions from LOST of 10

approximately $962,000. The decrease in bad debt expense is especially significant because it equates to a better collection rate on the outstanding accounts receivable which improves cash flow and reduces overall expenses for the fund. The graph below compares the expenses to the program revenues supporting the operations. Business-type Activities Expenses and Program Revenues For the Fiscal Year 2009 $16,000,000 $15,000,000 $14,000,000 $13,000,000 $12,000,000 $11,000,000 $10,000,000 $9,000,000 $8,000,000 $7,000,000 Expenses Program Revenues $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0 Solid Waste Inspections Ambulance Civic Center Financial Analysis of Escambia County s Funds As noted earlier, Escambia County employs fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds. Governmental funds focus on providing information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. In assessing Escambia County s financing requirements, unreserved fund balance is a particularly useful measure of net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The governmental fund types include the general fund, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds. As of September 30, 2009, Escambia County governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $141,758,207, an increase of $7,113,629 compared to prior year balances. Governmental funds reserved $29,495,632 of fund balance to meet current commitments in the next fiscal year, $1,034,944 for inventory, $17,682,355 for advances made to other funds, and $9,422,145 to meet debt service requirements next fiscal year. 11

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the County. At September 30, 2009, total fund balance in the general fund was $33,164,961 of which $31,635,915 was unreserved. As a measure of the general fund s liquidity, a comparison of both total and unreserved fund balances compared to total fund expenditures shows percentages of 23.26% and 22.18%, respectively. The fund balance of the County s General Fund decreased by $15,734,689 during the current fiscal year. Key factors in this decrease are as follows: Total revenues decreased 13.97% from fiscal year 2008 and expenditures decreased 7.33% from fiscal year 2008. Transfer activity from the general fund overall increased 48.32%, with increased transfers going to the Development Fund, Debt Service Fund, Mass Transit Fund, Disaster Recovery Fund, Code Enforcement Fund, and the Ambulance Fund. The General Fund transferred $9 million of reserves to the Debt Service Fund to hold for future bond payments. In so doing, current year revenues are available to cover operating expenses during the next couple of years as the County weathers the economic downturn. However, increased transfer amounts were needed for the Mass Transit Fund due to increased costs in this fund. The Other Major Governmental Funds include the Disaster Recovery Fund, the CRA Fund, the Transportation and Drainage Fund, and the LOST Fund. The Disaster Recovery Fund was established to account for all the financing provided from various State and Federal grants, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The County also receives various insurance reimbursements through this fund. Escambia County was struck by Hurricane Ivan (a Category 3 hurricane) in September 2004 and Hurricane Dennis in July 2005. The County s ongoing recovery efforts and FEMA reimbursements are tracked in this fund. Reimbursements from FEMA have come to a standstill while the County waits for the final disposition and close-out of projects connected with Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis. During 2009, the County received $2.08 million from FEMA for the construction of the County s new One Stop Building and new Pensacola Beach Fire Station. In addition to FEMA, the County received $2 million in insurance reimbursements and a $1 million transfer from the General Fund to help cover the costs that are not grant or FEMA eligible. The CRA Fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures for the redevelopment areas established in the County. There are currently five established redevelopment areas included under the CRA jurisdiction. The CRA is funded through transfers from the General Fund of tax increment (TIF) portions of property taxes for each respective district. The County s new budgeting policy for the CRA allows for 50% of the TIF to be transferred from the General Fund. By State Statute, the County must pay at least 50% of the taxes collected on the TIF districts to the CRA. In fiscal year 2008, the County transferred 75% of the TIF compared to the 50% transfer in 2009, decreasing revenue into the CRA Fund by 31.37%. Expenses within the CRA districts remained relatively constant between 2009 and 2008 which allowed for a modest increase in net assets for the CRA Fund of $102,728 compared to the 2008 increase of $1,081,096. The CRA enjoys a healthy fund balance at the end of fiscal year 2009 of $5,988,114 and is well positioned to weather economic fluctuations. Taxes are a major source of revenue for both the Transportation and Drainage Fund and the LOST Fund. Gas taxes are used by the Transportation Fund for the construction and maintenance of roads in the County. Gas taxes increased 16.48% in fiscal year 2009 due to more stable demand as gasoline prices have leveled out this fiscal year. Revenues and expenditures in the Transportation and Drainage Fund reflect the continuation of multiple road improvement projects and drainage in which the County is engaged. The local option sales tax imposed on Escambia County is used by the LOST Fund to acquire and construct capital projects within the County. Sales tax revenues decreased 8% over fiscal year 2008. The LOST Fund received a refund of $11 million due to the cancellation of a joint Public Safety Building project between the County and Pensacola Junior College (PJC). Funds that had been paid to PJC in a prior year were returned to the County to be reallocated to other projects. This refund accounts for the majority of the $13 million increase to net assets during fiscal year 2009. The remaining $2 million increase in net assets is due to fewer transfers out to other funds during 2009. Interlocal agreements with 12

the City of Pensacola and ECUA help the County complete several major road and building projects. Expenditures increased 32.5% over fiscal year 2008 due to the purchase of two properties that will be renovated for use as community centers. Additionally, park upgrades and park equipment along with continuing work on the new Pensacola Bay Fishing Bridge contributed to the overall increase in expenditures. Proprietary Funds. Proprietary fund statements provide the same information as in the business activities column of the government-wide statements, but in greater detail, and on a fund basis for enterprise funds and the internal service fund. The major enterprise funds reported are the Solid Waste Fund and the Ambulance Fund. Enterprise Funds. At September 30, 2009, total net assets amounted to $48,469,782 for enterprise funds, as compared to $45,578,752 at September 30, 2008. Changes to net assets are a result of operations, other non-operating revenues and expenses, capital contributions and grants. The increase in net assets for enterprise funds was $2,891,030 compared to a decrease of $343,134 for fiscal year 2008. Operating income is the result of operating revenues less operating expenses. The chart below compares operating income or loss for all enterprise funds. Business-type Activities Operating Income (Loss) $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0 ($1,000,000) ($2,000,000) 2009 2008 ($3,000,000) Solid Waste Fund Inspection Fund Ambulance Fund Civic Center Fund Operating revenues in the Solid Waste Fund decreased 18.26% along with a 23% decrease in operating expenses. The main reason for the decrease in revenue was due to the implementation of a County-wide voluntary recycling program. As an incentive to recycle, the Perdido Landfill does not charge for the dumping of recyclable materials. Decreased expenses were noted in materials and supplies, and insurance. Engineering estimates of future landfill maintenance and closure costs decreased $1,969,072 as a result the Landfill s active landfill mining initiative started in 2008 which has added life and capacity to the landfill cells at the Perdido Landfill. The Civic Center saw a decrease in operating revenues of $155,452 or 4.28%. Even though the Civic Center experienced a 10.89% decrease in operating expenses, the County gave the Civic Center a cash subsidy of $520,158 during fiscal year 2009. Tourist Development Tax dollars are used to subsidize operating losses at the Civic Center. The Inspection Fund experienced a 21.29% decrease in charges for services revenues this year as compared to fiscal year 2008 which was directly attributable to diminished activity in the housing and commercial real estate market in general. While a 6.21% decrease in salaries, along with modest 13

decreases in materials, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses were noted, the revenues generated were not sufficient to cover the costs, resulting in an operating loss of $1,101,808. The Ambulance Fund experienced a 1.77% increase in their charges for services revenue during fiscal year 2009. For the first time, the Ambulance Fund received a $1.5 million subsidy from the General Fund. The increase in revenue was accompanied by a 6.45% decrease in salary and benefit costs, and a 7.76% decrease in materials and supplies. Additionally, due to increased efforts and a new contract with a collection agency, the collection rate of billing increased, which resulted in a decrease of $191,767 (4.10%) in the bad debt expense. The Ambulance Fund ended the fiscal year with a net operating loss of $114,636 compared to the operating loss in fiscal year 2008 of $1,205,890. Major enterprise funds are shown in the Financial Statements Section and the Non-Major enterprise funds are shown in the Combining Statements section of the annual report. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have been addressed in the discussion of the County s business-type activities. Internal Service Funds. The Internal Service Fund as presented is a combination of the internal service fund of the Board of County Commissioners, the Sheriff, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The combining statements for the three internal service funds can be found in the Combining Statements section of this annual report. The Internal Service Fund is designed to recover the internal costs of general services provided to the other fund groups and to accumulate amounts required to fund the compensated absences liability of the Sheriff s and the Clerk of Court s employees. The Sheriff and Clerk continue to methodically fund the compensated absences liability of $17,649,553 and $1,745,421, respectively. The Board s Internal Service Fund experienced an operating loss of $311,849. The net asset deficits for the combined internal service funds are ($3,437,483) and ($3,083,563) for the fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Operating a government the size of Escambia County is a dynamic business and budget amendments are approved throughout the year. The General Fund budget to actual statement is provided in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report on page 27. Budget columns are provided for both the original budget adopted for fiscal year 2009, as well as the final budget. Budgeted Revenues: A comparison of original budget to final budget for general fund revenues shows slight decreases in taxes, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, investment income, and miscellaneous revenues. These changes are related to changes in estimates of various collections and receipts or changes in amounts to be received from grants and state-shared revenues. This is an indication that the County remains committed to a conservative approach when developing the budget for the general fund. A comparison of final budget to actual general fund revenues shows a difference for taxes mainly due to less than expected ad valorem receipts, better than expected fee collections, less than expected state revenue sharing and half-cent sales tax dollars, better than expected interest earnings, and better than expected miscellaneous receipts in the form of inter-agency contributions to help offset medical costs in the indigent population. Budgeted Expenditures: Minor differences between the original budgeted expenditures and the final amended budget can be briefly summarized as follows: Decrease in general government activities of $5,659,624 mainly due to a reduction in the amount budgeted for operating reserves Increase in public safety activities of $1,756,321 due to several reasons including an increase of $50,000 in personal services due to a reorganization within the Public Safety Bureau; increases 14

of $103,000 for current year operating supplies and maintenance, and a re-budget of $1 million in unfinished purchase commitments from the prior year Increase in physical environment activities of $109,877 due to an increase in costs associated with a reorganization within the Land Management Division Decrease in human services activities of $13,412 due to decreases in cost estimates for repair and maintenance, operating supplies, and communications expenditures Increase is culture/recreation activities of $2,500 due to an increase in the cost of umpires for the Adult Sports Division of the Parks and Recreation Program Increase in transfers out of $11,818,421 The favorable difference between the final amended budget for total expenditures and the actual total expenditures is chiefly due to the $24 million roll-forward of prior year funding that is appropriated as reserves in the general government category to be used for unanticipated events. The increase in the transfers out category was to allow for approximately $9 million of General Fund reserves to be transferred to the Debt Service Fund for future bond payments. The remaining $3 million was transferred to the Development Fund to be used for economic development initiatives in the form of payments and incentives to organizations promising job creation within Escambia County. Prior to the transfer out of revenues of approximately $12 million, as mentioned above, the General Fund had roughly a $3.7 million decrease in net assets, which represents a shortfall in current year revenue and the use of existing fund balance. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital Assets. The financial statements present capital assets in two groups: those assets subject to depreciation, such as equipment or operational facilities and those assets not subject to depreciation such as land and construction-in-progress. Escambia County s capital assets for both governmental and business-type activities, net of accumulated depreciation totaled $575,618,531 and $550,396,778 for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. This investment in capital assets, both purchased and donated, includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, parks, roads, bridges and other major infrastructure. A comparison of the increase in Escambia County s investment in capital assets, net of depreciation is depicted in the graph below. Governmental net capital assets increased by $20,788,904 or 4.10% and business-type net capital assets increased $4,432,849 or 10.27% Capital Asset and Debt Administration 600,000,000 500,000,000 400,000,000 300,000,000 200,000,000 2009 2008 100,000,000 0 Governmental Business-type Sources of donated assets each year stem from new subdivisions in the County. New subdivisions are required to meet the County s comprehensive planning requirements and, in doing so, provide additions 15

to the County s infrastructure for roads, sidewalks, stormwater drainage, and in some cases parks and recreational facilities. Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year include the following: Donated general government assets consist of developer funded road and drainage infrastructure and sidewalks in new planned developments and subdivisions. Donated infrastructure in fiscal year 2009 amounted to $382,128 as compared to $2,537,239 last fiscal year. Additionally, the Santa Rosa Island Authority transferred $16 million of roads to the County. The roads were built on Santa Rosa Island with bond proceeds from prior years. Approximately $2 million of land was purchased as right-of-way acquisitions for on-going road projects. Two properties, the Wedgewood School and the Old Molino School, were purchased from the Escambia County School Board District for $3,347,367. The County plans to renovate these properties for use as community centers. These projects are part of a continuing revitalization effort throughout the County. Construction began on a new County facility to house the building inspections and engineering departments. Costs to date on the building are nearly $5 million. The facility has been dubbed the One-Stop Building because citizens will be able to get all their permitting and plan development reviews, etc. taken care of all at this one site. Construction continued on many of the County s capital projects including: Road improvements in excess of $16 million Drainage improvements in excess of $900,000 Right-of-ways and sidewalks $419,126 Pensacola Bay Fishing Bridge $7.3 million Various other parks approximately $1.0 million Perdido Key improvements $208,000 Various Fire Station renovations $346,000 Various County facilities $288,000 Renovations and improvements to various County facilities, including the completion of the Pensacola Beach Fire Station, the MC Blanchard Judicial Building s security system, and the Old County Courthouse totaled approximately $3 million. Various departments purchased approximately $616,700 of general computer equipment and upgrades. The Roads and Bridges Department purchased approximately $390,000 of heavy equipment for use at the Road Department, and various other light equipment items to be used for road operations. The Fire Department purchased approximately $295,000 of fire fighting and rescue equipment and vehicles. Court-related functions purchased computer equipment and upgrades of $31,000. The Supervisor of Elections purchased approximately $41,000 of new voting machines and software as required by the State guidelines. Emergency Management purchased communication tower sites, new 911-Equipment, and various vehicles and equipment for approximately $1.7 million. Parks and Recreation purchased nearly $64,000 of large vehicles and mowing equipment for purposes of parks maintenance and operations. 16

Economic Factors and Year 2010 Budgets and Rates The fiscal 2010 budget was balanced holding the County-wide millage rate at 6.976 and the Law Enforcement MSTU rate remaining at.685 mils. The County is committed to responsible levels of taxation for the taxpayers of Escambia County. Factors considered in preparing Escambia County s budget for the 2010 fiscal year included: The reduction in assessed values on the property in Escambia County contributed to a total overall budget reduction of over $24 million for fiscal 2010, even though the millage rate remained at the 2009 level. The Consumer s Price Index (CPI) decreased 1.3% over the previous year s rate. While the CPI is not specific to Escambia County, it does provide an indication of the overall economic condition of the nation and provides economic guidance for budgeting. One focus has been on continuing to reduce staffing levels paid from general fund revenues. Anticipation of higher levels of grant funding for various projects and activities to continue in the years to come. The purchase of heavy equipment will be based on life-cycle costing to include the annual maintenance cost of a vehicle. Maintenance of existing infrastructure consisting of transportation systems, County facilities, drainage and parks are a first priority. Continue to provide urban-type services including parks and recreation, public works, growth management, code enforcement, and fire protection services at a fiscally responsible cost. 18

The entire organization is now mobilized to aggressively pursue capitalizing on and maximizing the use of all available resources, particularly in identifying and implementing alternative services. User fees will be implemented when appropriate. Funds that are receiving subsidies will be monitored so that subsidies do not get out of control. During the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance in the general fund decreased to $31,365,915. An amount of $24,880,751is available for spending in the 2010 fiscal year budget, a 42% decrease from the prior fiscal year. However, this healthy fund balance still allows Escambia County Government to continue maintaining basic levels of service to the residents during fiscal 2010. Escambia County continues to review various service fees and charges to meet the ongoing needs of infrastructure and services for County residents. The fiscal year 2010 budget development was challenging in that the County is faced with severely limited funding while trying to address the everexpanding needs of the community. Escambia County remains committed to providing efficient and responsive services that enhance the quality of life, meet common needs, and promote a safe and healthy community.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Escambia County, Florida (the County) is a political subdivision of the State of Florida created pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Florida Statutes. The County is governed by a five member Board of County Commissioners (the Board), elected from single-member districts. The Board has no powers other than those expressly vested in it by State Statute and their governmental powers cannot be delegated. The Board appoints an administrator to administer all policies emanating from its statutory powers and authority. In addition to the Board, there are five elected Constitutional Officers, pursuant to Article 8, Section 1(d), of the Constitution of the State of Florida: Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller (the Clerk), Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of Elections. The accounting policies of the County conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US) as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. A. Financial Reporting Entity These combined financial statements include the operations of the Board of County Commissioners, Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and those separately administered organizations for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government operations. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the government. Blended Component Units Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) In 1995, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 95-6 which established the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of Escambia County pursuant to The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. The Board serves as the CRA Board and has all rights, powers, duties, privileges and immunities authorized by the Act. The CRA is reported as a special revenue fund. Five redevelopment areas are included under the CRA jurisdiction. Discretely Presented Component Units Governmental Fund Type: Escambia County Law Library Board The Escambia County Law Library Board, created under Special Act, Chapter 69-1048, Laws of Florida, provides for the maintenance of a central law library for the use of citizens, county officials, judges and officers of the courts of Escambia County. The Law Library is financially integrated with the County in that it is funded by collection of certain court fees. The Law Library is housed in a County facility and shares in administrative services provided by the County. The Law Library Board is composed of two (2) circuit judges, two (2) county judges and one (1) lawyer appointed by the local bar association. The operations of the Law Library are reported in the Law Library Fund, a special revenue fund, as a discrete component unit. Financial statements for the Escambia County Law Library Board can be obtained at 190 Governmental Center, Pensacola, Florida 32502-5773. 39

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Proprietary Fund Type: Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) The Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) was established by the provisions of Chapter 24-500, Laws of Florida, Special Acts of 1947, as amended. The County appoints five (5) members of the Authority s six (6) member Board, and one (1) member is elected by the eligible voters who are full time residents of the Island. The County approves the Authority s budget and issuance of debt. The County has veto power over decisions of the Authority. The SRIA serves as the County s leasing agent for property on Santa Rosa Island owned by the County. The operations of SRIA are reported in the SRIA Fund, a discrete component unit in this report. Financial statements for the SRIA can be obtained at 1 Via Deluna, Pensacola Beach, Florida 32561. Escambia County Housing Finance Authority The Escambia County Housing Finance Authority (HFA) was created in 1982 by Ordinance No. 80-12 pursuant to Chapter 78-89, Laws of Florida codified as Chapter 159, Part IV, Section 159.601 through 159.23. The County appoints five (5) members of the HFA and must approve by resolution any rules or regulations, the issuance of revenue bonds and all contracts and agreements. The Escambia County HFA and the County are not substantially the same. The HFA does not provide services almost entirely for the County. Therefore, the operations of the Escambia County HFA are reported as a discrete component unit in this report. Financial statements for the Escambia County HFA can be obtained at 25 West Cedar Street, Suite 530, Pensacola, Florida 32502-5945. Because these component units have been reported as a part of the County, there are limited instances where special note references or separation will be required. If no separate note reference or categorization is made, the user should assume that information presented is equally applicable. Joint Ventures As defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 14, a joint venture is a separate legal entity or other organization that results from a contractual arrangement (or interlocal agreement) and that is owned, operated or governed by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control in which the participants retain (a) an on-going financial interest or (b) an on-going financial responsibility. The County participates and provides financial support to the following nonequity joint ventures: Human Relations Commission (HRC) The Commission was created by an Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County and the City of Pensacola in 1978, pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 163.01, for the purpose of being responsible for the promotion of fair treatment and equal opportunity to all citizens of the local community. The Commission is composed of fourteen (14) members; seven (7) selected by the County and seven (7) selected by the City of Pensacola. The duration of this agreement is for a period of two (2) years, with a renewal provision. The County does not control budgeting or financing for the Commission. Separate financial statements are available from the Commission at 2257 Baylen Street, Pensacola, Florida 32501. Pensacola Escambia County Promotion and Development Commission (PEDC) This Commission was created in 1967 by Chapter 67-1365, Laws of Florida, amended in 1980 by Chapter 80-579, to promote and develop tourism and industry in Escambia County and in the City of Pensacola. The nine (9) member Commission consists of two (2) members of the Pensacola City Council, two (2) members of the Escambia County Commission, one (1) member of the Century City Council, the President of the Chamber of Commerce (1), one (1) representative of the Committee of 100 or the Tourist Advisory Council, one (1) at-large member appointed by the Pensacola City Council and one (1) at-large member appointed by the Escambia County Commission. The County and the City of Pensacola each contribute funds annually for the operation of the Commission, but neither has control of the budget or finances of the 40

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Commission. The Commission has no outstanding debt. Separate financial statements are available from the Pensacola Escambia County Promotion and Development Commission at 117 West Garden Street, Pensacola, Florida 32593-0550. Summary financial statements as of September 30, 2009 for the joint ventures are as follows: STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 HRC PEDC Assets and other debits $31,379 $8,692,301 Liabilities 14,725 8,362,390 Net assets Invested in capital assets 4,560 0 Restricted assets 0 61,198 Unrestricted 12,094 268,713 Total net assets $16,654 $329,911 STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 HRC PEDC Revenues $242,125 $270,841 Expenses (237,447) (270,544) Change in net assets 4,678 297 Net assets beginning 11,976 329,614 Net assets ending $16,654 $329,911 B. Basic Financial Statements Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements consist of the government-wide (based on the County as a whole, including its component units) and fund financial statements. Both sets of statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business-type activities. The government-wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Activities which report on the government as a whole and provide a consolidated financial picture of the government. For the most part, interfund activities are eliminated to avoid distorted financial results. The amounts reported as internal balances represent the residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities. Fiduciary funds of the government are also eliminated from this presentation since these resources are not available for general government funding purposes. The Statement of Activities reports functional categories of programs provided by the County and demonstrates how and to what degree those programs are supported by specific revenue. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on external fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. 41

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are supported by specific revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. General revenues consist of all taxes and other items collected that help support all functions of Escambia County government. Individual fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. The County reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the government s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Disaster Recovery Fund accounts for financing provided from various State and Federal grants, such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) accounts for the revenues and expenditures of the redevelopment areas established within the County. The Transportation and Drainage Fund accounts for monies collected through permits, fees, and certain taxes and assessments. These monies are expended on engineering, street lighting, transportation, and road projects that benefit those citizens of the unincorporated areas of the County. The Local Option Sales Tax Fund accounts for monies collected pursuant to Florida Statutes 212.055, which authorizes the County to impose a one percent (1%) local option infrastructure sales surtax upon taxable transactions occurring within Escambia County, to provide for road and drainage projects and improvements, recreation projects, public safety, expansion of jail and court facilities, and community redevelopment projects. The County reports the following major proprietary funds: The Solid Waste Fund accounts for solid waste disposal (landfill) operations, primarily financed through franchise fees and user charges. The Ambulance Fund accounts for the cost of emergency medical services provided in Escambia County. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund. Additionally, the government reports the following fund types: The Internal Service Fund accounts for risk management activities and garage and fuel activities provided to other County departments, as well as the administration of employee benefits. Additionally, it is used to account for balances and activity related to compensated absences policies of the Clerk and Sheriff. Agency Funds which are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) have no measurement focus since they serve only as clearing accounts for assets held by the County in a custodial or agency 42

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 capacity for others. They do, however, use the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and payables. Agency funds are utilized by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Tax Collector and the Sheriff for various client related funds held by each entity until returned to the client. C. Basis of Presentation, Basis of Accounting The government-wide financial statements and the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the County considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period, except for certain grant revenues which are recognized as revenues in the same period the grant expenditures occurred. State shared revenues, sales taxes, franchise taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, except debt service expenditures and expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recorded only when payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are recorded as expenditures in governmental funds. Monies received from issuing long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Escambia County allocates indirect costs comprised of administrative overhead costs to functional activities using various allocation charge methods. Therefore, expenses reported for functional activities include these allocated indirect costs. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs of the functions concerned. Under the terms of some grant agreements, the County funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the County s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues. The County has elected to follow FASB statements and interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, for all governmental and business-type activities and enterprise funds, unless those standards conflict with or contradict guidance of the GASB pronouncements. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements, with the exception of administrative overhead components as discussed above. Amounts reported as program revenue include 1) charges to customers for goods, services, or privileges provided; 2) operating grants and contributions; and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting, distinguishing operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally 43

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the County s enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and the internal service fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity Cash or Cash Equivalents consists of cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from date of acquisition. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments represent assets pooled for investment purposes with each individual fund and/or account maintained on a daily transaction basis. Such investments consist of demand deposits, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury Bills, and notes of certain instrumentalities. Investment earnings are allocated to the participating funds on a pro-rata basis. As defined by GASB Statement No. 31, money market investments are reported at amortized cost rather than fair value. The County has adopted an investment policy in accordance with specific requirements of Florida Statute 218.415 (1) (16). This policy authorizes investments in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, Federal Instrumentalities, time deposits and savings accounts in qualified public depositories, tax exempt obligations of the State of Florida, the Florida Counties Investment Trust, Securities and Exchange qualified open-end money market mutual funds, the State of Florida s Local Government Surplus Trust Fund (SBA), and repurchase agreements. Trade Receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Solid Waste Fund records an allowance for receivables older than 90 days, while the Internal Service Fund provides an allowance on those receivables where there have been no collections during the past year. All other County Funds record an allowance on accounts older than 120 days. The County records unbilled service receivables for services that have been rendered but not billed at the end of the fiscal year. Real and Personal Property Valuations are determined each year as of January 1 by the Property Appraiser s Office. Florida Statutes require all property be assessed at 100% of just value. For 2009, the Countywide millage rate was 6.9755 mills. All property taxes are billed in arrears and become due and payable on November 1 and are delinquent on April 1, of the following year. The legal lien date is January 1 of each year. Discounts of 4, 3, 2, and 1 percent are allowed for early payment in November through February, respectively. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via the sale of tax certificates prior to year end. Due From/(To) Other Funds are activities between funds. Such amounts are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year and referred to as either due to /from other funds (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances. Advances To/(From) Other Funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. 44

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Inventory amounts are valued at cost (first-in, first-out). Inventory balances in general, special revenue and enterprise funds are accounted for on the consumption method, i.e., expenditures and expenses are recognized when inventories are used. Reported inventories are equally offset by a fund balance reserve to indicate that they are not available spendable resources even though they are a component of net current assets. Restricted Assets are assets of both governmental and business-type activities that are restricted per resolutions or other agreements. Capital Assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Purchased or constructed assets are recorded at historical costs or estimated costs. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The County capitalizes items costing $1,000 and having an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Buildings, public domain and system infrastructure assets which represent major expenditures for such items as roads, water and sewer lines, landfill improvements, and parks and drainage systems are capitalized at historical cost. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable capital assets are as follows: Buildings Improvements Infrastructure Equipment 10 50 years 20 50 years 20 50 years 3 10 years Compensated Absences are accrued in accordance with GASB Statement No. 16. It is the policy of the County to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused leave benefits which will be paid to employees upon separation from service. Unpaid compensated absences are recorded as a liability when the benefits are earned in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. For governmental funds, there is no legal requirement to accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate the obligation; these expenditures are recognized in the governmental funds when payments are made to employees. Other Post-Employment Benefits provisions were adopted by the County effective October 1, 2007 under the provisions of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The effect of this adoption was to establish uniform reporting standards for Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) expense and related liabilities (assets), note disclosures, and required supplementary information (RSI) in annual financial reports of governmental entities. GASB Statement No. 45, improves the relevance and usefulness of financial reporting by: (a) requiring systematic, accrual-basis measurement and recognition of Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) over a period that approximates employees years of service and (b) providing information about actuarial accrued liabilities associated with OPEB and whether and to what extent progress is being made in funding the plan. Unearned Revenues include amounts collected before revenue recognition criteria are met. 45

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Self Insurance Claims Payable represents liabilities for reported claims and incurred but not reported claims based on an actuarial review of claims pending and historical experience. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Payable represents the recognition of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) closure and postclosure care costs under the State of Florida s Solid Waste Management Act of 1988 (the 1988 Act ), regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and GASB Statement No. 18. MSWLF costs incurred for landfills accepting solid waste after final implementation of the 1988 Act and EPA regulations are recognized as an expense and a liability in each year that the MSWLF accepts solid waste based upon the landfill capacity used during that year. Long Term Obligations in the government-wide and the proprietary fund financial statements are reported as liabilities in the statement of net assets. Bond premiums, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. The County reports pollution (including contamination) remediation obligations, which are obligations to address the current or potential detrimental effects of existing pollution, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations. The circumstances under which the County will have to estimate, record, and disclose its expected outlays for pollution remediation include: the pollution is an imminent danger to public health or welfare; the County is in violation of a pollution prevention-related permit or license; the County has been named as a responsible party under Superfund or similar state laws; the County is named in a lawsuit that would require participation in remediation activities; or the County legally commits itself to conduct remediation activities. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts as well as bond issuance costs during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financial sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts and debt issuance costs are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as expenditures of the funds in which proceeds of debt issuances are recorded. Fund Equity in the governmental fund s financial statements report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Net Assets The government-wide and business type fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation. Net assets are categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and unrestricted. Invested in Capital Assets (net of related debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets which are associated with non-liquid, capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt. Restricted Net Assets are liquid assets (generated from revenues and net bond proceeds) which are not accessible for general use because of third-party (statutory, bond covenant or granting agency) limitations. Unrestricted Net Assets represent unrestricted liquid assets. While County management may have categorized and segmented portions for various purposes, the Board of County Commissioners has the unrestricted authority to revisit or alter these managerial decisions. 46

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Budgetary Information NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles as required by Florida Statute 129 for all governmental funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. On or before May 1 of each year, the Sheriff, Clerk, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of Elections each submit to the Board of County Commissioners a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. Within fifteen days after certification of the ad valorem tax roll by the Property Appraiser, the County Budget Officer submits to the Board a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 st. The Budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Board holds public hearings and a final budget must be prepared and adopted no later than September 30. The County s budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Management and Budget Services Bureau is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments of a fund and between departments of a fund; however, the Board of County Commissioners must approve any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the fund level.

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Credit Risk: The County s Investment Policy (Policy), limits credit risk by restricting authorized investments to the following: direct obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase agreements, the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by Florida s State Board of Administration (a 2a7-like pool), certificates of deposit, money market mutual funds investing in direct obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities regulated by the SEC, and the Florida Local Government Investment Trust, an investment pool administered by the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers. The credit ratings indicated in the above table are Moody s Investors Services (Moody s) ratings. Concentration of Credit Risk: The Policy requires that bank deposits be secured as provided by Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. This law requires local governments to deposit funds only in financial institutions designated as qualified public depositories by the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, and creates the Public Deposits Trust Fund, a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a default or insolvency has occurred. As of September 30, 2009, all of the County s bank deposits were in qualified public depositories. The Policy requires the assets shall be diversified to control the risk of loss resulting from the over concentration of assets. The Policy establishes guidelines for limiting the percentage of the portfolio by permissible investment category as well as issuer limits within an investment category. The Policy requires execution of a third-party custodial safekeeping agreement for all purchased securities, and requires that securities be held in the County s name. As of September 30, 2009, all of the County s investments were held in a bank s trust department in the County s name. Interest Rate Risk: The Policy limits the investment of current operating funds to no longer than one (1) year. Investments of current operating funds will be matched to cash flow needs. Investment of bond reserves, construction funds and other non-operating funds shall have a term appropriate to the need for funds, and in accordance with debt covenants, but shall not exceed five (5) years. 48

Maturities of the obligations under capital lease are as follows: Board of Santa Rosa County Island Commissioners Authority Balance 10/01/2008 $1,799,730 $6,539 Additions 0 0 Principal payments (635,218) (4,396) Balance 09/30/2009 $1,164,512 $2,143 Future lease payments 2010 $688,166 $2,309 2011 516,124 0 Total minimum lease payments 1,204,290 2,309 Less amount representing interest (39,778) (166) Net minimum lease payments $1,164,512 $2,143 Refunding of Outstanding Debt in prior years permitted the Board to defease certain special obligation and other revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in irrevocable trusts to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account asset and liabilities are not included in the County s financial statements. On September 30, 2009, four bond issues are outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $38,950,000. 58

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Long-Term Debt Arbitrage Liability represents the excess of interest earned from the investment of certain debt proceeds and pledged revenues over the yield rate of the applicable debt. Pursuant to Section 148 (f) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the County must rebate any excess to the United States Government. Arbitrage rebate, if any, is due and payable on each five-year anniversary of the respective bond issue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there is no arbitrage rebate liability outstanding. Conduit Debt Obligations have been established in the County s name by private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Neither the Board, nor the State, nor any political subdivision thereof, is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding conduit debt of Escambia County is $3,651,255,277. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Payable represents the accrued liability for closure and postclosure costs for the County s landfills. Regulations require the Board to cover landfills when they stop accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date the landfills stop accepting waste, the Board reports a portion of these closure and postclosure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each statement of net assets date. Currently, the Beulah, Klondike, Mobile Highway and Camp Five sites are closed. The Perdido Landfill is the only site accepting waste. At year end, $12,284,809 was reported ($105,398 payable from restricted assets and $12,179,411 as long-term liability) as the landfill closure and postclosure care liability in the statement of net assets. This amount is based upon estimated costs to perform closure and postclosure care in 2009, determined from the most recently available engineering studies computed on the ratio of landfill capacity filled at year end to total estimated capacity. Capacity is measured in space utilized by the type of waste being accepted. The Class I capacity is at 63.33% and the Class III capacity is at 64.00%. The Board will recognize the remaining estimated costs of closure and postclosure care of approximately $4.9 million as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology or changes in regulations. During 2008, a landfill mining initiative was instituted at the Perdido Landfill. These mining efforts have added significant capacity and life to the landfill. The landfill mining project has resulted in a significant reduction in the long-term care estimates, while continuing to provide the citizens of Escambia County an efficient and effective landfill operation. Closure and Postclosure Care Liability: Beginning Ending Balance Balance 10/1/2008 Additions Deletions 9/30/2009 Current: $103,331 $2,067 $0 $105,398 Long-term Liability 14,351,881 0 (2,172,470) 12,179,411 Total $14,455,212 $2,067 ($2,172,470) $12,284,809 State and federal laws and regulations require the Board to make annual contributions to a cash escrow account to meet financial assurance requirements. The Board is in compliance with these requirements at September 30, 2009 with restricted cash and investments of $4,981,394 for these purposes. In the event closure escrows and interest earnings prove inadequate due to inflation, changes in technology or 59

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 additional closure/postclosure care requirements, these costs may need to be covered by increased user charges. Pollution Remediation Obligation The County has identified several potential pollution sites within the County which may require remediation. The preliminary results of the County s analysis indicated several of the sites are not owned by the County and that the State or Federal government may be responsible for any required remediation. The County-owned sites are being evaluated further for any pollution remediation obligations. At September 30, 2009, no pollution obligations are reported by the County. NOTE 4 OTHER INFORMATION The Risk Management program was established by the County to insure certain types of claims against the Board of County Commissioners, Constitutional Officers, and Santa Rosa Island Authority including losses related to theft, damage and destruction of assets; torts; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The following are the types of risks and coverage: Workers Compensation The County is covered for workers compensation claims through a policy with the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust. Coverage limits under the policy include statutory limits, as well as $1,000,000 bodily injury for each accident and $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease for each employee with an aggregate $1,000,000 policy limit. Casualty and Property Casualty limits are self-insured for $100,000 per claim with a $200,000 aggregate limit. Property limits are $50,000 - $250,000 self insured retentions per occurrence with excess limits of $500 million, $410 million excluding wind and $90 million including wind. Prior to June 9, 2008, the County was self-insured for worker s compensation claims up to a limit of $450,000 per occurrence with statutory limits. The County will continue to contract with a third party administrator to service all worker s compensation claims with dates of loss prior to June 9, 2008. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there have been no settlements which exceeded the County s insurance coverage for the last three fiscal years. The County currently reports all of its risk management activities, including claims liabilities, in the Internal Service Fund. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities on claims prior to June 9, 2008 include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). The claims liabilities totaling $11,066,262 reported in the Internal Service Fund at September 30, 2009 are actuarially determined based on historical and current information regarding the Fund. Changes in the estimated liability for self-insured losses for the past two years are as follows: 2009 2008 Unpaid claims, beginning $10,818,626 $11,701,265 Claims incurred and changes in estimates 4,756,111 3,930,749 Less: claims paid (4,508,475) (4,813,388) Unpaid claims, ending 11,066,262 10,818,626 Estimated claims due within one year (4,611,673) (4,460,309) Estimated claims due longer than one year $6,454,589 $6,358,317 Pension and Retirement Plan Substantially all full-time employees of the Board are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative 60

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Code. The FRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements vary depending on membership class. Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and years-ofservice credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program available for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. Contributions made to the Pension Plan, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, were equal to the actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year. Contributions to the Investment Plan, based on legislature-mandated contribution rates, were equal to a percentage of the participant s gross monthly salary based on the participant s membership class. Contributions for the past three years were as follows: 2009 2008 2007 Primary government $14,179,598 $14,897,685 $14,887,053 Discretely presented component units: Santa Rosa Island Authority 141,473 141,869 154,706 Law Library Board 3,090 3,090 2,755 $14,324,161 $15,042,644 $15,044,514 61

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Post-employment benefits other than pension (OPEB) are provided by the County in the form of health insurance for retired participants (and their dependents/beneficiaries) at the same rate as active participants. In health insurance plans where a government s retirees and current employees are insured together as a group, the premiums paid by the retirees may be lower than they would have been if the retirees were insured separately. This is called an implicit rate subsidy. Under this single-employer plan, benefit provisions are essentially the same for the county s employees. A stand-alone financial report is not prepared for the OPEB plan, however, a summary of each Constitutional Officer s participation in this OPEB plan can be found in their separately issued financial statements. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year 2008, the County engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment health insurance plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuary report for 2009. The County may amend the OPEB plan at its discretion. At October 1, 2008, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of: OPEB plan participants 2,521 Retirees receiving benefits 718 The County has the authority to establish and amend the OPEB funding policy, and is not required by law or other contractual agreement to provide funding for the implicit rate subsidy other than the pay-as-yougo amount necessary to provide current benefits for participants in its health insurance plan. During 2009, the County paid $1,445,578 as funding of the implicit rate subsidy OPEB. The County s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the County s OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the County s net OPEB obligation: For the fiscal year ended 9/30/2009 Determination of Annual Required Contribution (ARC) Normal Cost at year end $1,680,030 Amortization of the unfunded actuarial liability (UAAL) 2,172,589 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $3,852,619 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $3,852,619 Interest on net OPEB obligation 95,471 Adjustment to annual required contribution (138,029) Annual OPEB cost (expense) 3,810,061 Employer contributions made* (1,445,578) Increase in net OPEB obligation 2,364,483 Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year 2,390,019 Estimated Net OPEB obligation - end of year $4,754,502 *Actuarially estimated employer contributions for 2009. 62

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The County s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2009 and the two preceding years were as follows: Annual Percentage of Net OPEB OPEB Cost OPEB Fiscal year ended Cost Contributed Obligation 9/30/2007 N/A N/A N/A 9/30/2008 $3,693,430 35.29% $2,390,019 9/30/2009 $3,810,061 37.94% $4,754,502 Funding Policy and Status - As of October 1, 2008, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 0% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits (AAL) was $37,568,452 and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $37,568,452. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was $143.8 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 26.13%. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The OPEB-specific actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation described below are consistent with those used by the Florida Retirement System actuary and adopted by the Florida Retirement System. The actuarial methods are: Actuarial cost method: Amortization method: Amortization period (closed) Asset valuation method Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method Level dollar 30 years Market value of assets, if any, as of valuation date The actuarial assumptions are: Investment rate of return 4.0%, compounded annually 63

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Healthcare cost trend rate 8.75% reduced by decrements of 0.25% to 0.50% annually to an ultimate rate of 4.25% after 14 years. Leasing Arrangements provide almost all of the revenues for the Santa Rosa Island Authority. The Authority leases the land on County-owned Santa Rosa Island to residents and businesses under residential and commercial leases that typically run for a period of 99 years. Many of the 99-year leases have options to renew for another 99-year term. Many leases, particularly those for restaurants and concessions, are generally for a shorter period. Lease payments in future years are estimated to average approximately $3.7 million per year. Construction Commitments - The County has active construction projects as of September 30, 2009 as follows: Engineering Services - Building $8,203,579 Engineering Services - Road Paving and Drainage 6,163,592 Engineering Services - Various 8,440,165 Engineering Services - Beach Restoration 455,150 Engineering Services - Solid Waste 4,623,982 $27,886,468 Of these commitments, $23,037,327 is reported in the governmental fund financial statements as reserved for encumbrances. The remaining $4,849,141 represents commitments in proprietary type funds which are not included in the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These commitments are evidenced by signed purchase orders and contracts which were entered into prior to September 30, 2009. Other Commitments - The County has various non-construction contractual commitments at fiscal year end that will be re-appropriated in the new fiscal year. These commitments of $6,458,305 are included in Reserve for Encumbrances at September 30, 2009. On September 30, 2002, the Santa Rosa Island Authority s Board of Directors approved an interlocal agreement with Escambia County in connection with certain plans for economic development, transportation and beach improvements at Pensacola Beach. By resolution approved by the Santa Rosa Island Authority Board, the Authority s lease fee revenues are pledged for repayment of Tourist Development Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 and the Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2002. The Authority is scheduled to make payments to Escambia County of at least $600,000 each year through 2032. Significant Commitments The Sheriff contracted with a vendor under a cancelable agreement to provide for the delivery of medical care to individuals under the custody and control of the Sheriff. The agreement expired September 2009, and was not renewed by the Sheriff. Under the agreement, the Sheriff paid a base price plus a per inmate day fee for those inmates assigned to the Work Camp. Financial considerations were based on estimated inmate populations and were subject to adjustment. Medical service expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $5 million. The Sheriff entered into a cancelable agreement with a vendor to provide management services, food, materials, and supplies necessary to feed the inmate population at the corrections facility and the Escambia County Jail, through February 28, 2010. Upon mutual agreement, the agreement may be 64

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 renewed for two one-year periods and each year thereafter. Food service expense under this contract for the year ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.9 million. Operating leases for the Board of County Commissioners are for various spaces throughout the County containing minimum guaranteed rentals averaging $31,250 monthly. The Board of County Commissioners has the option to extend lease terms annually. Lease expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $255,216. The Tax Collector is obligated under operating leases for office space with noncancellable terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2009. Rent expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $340,000. Future minimum payments, as of September 30, 2009 for the Tax Collector, are as follows: Tax Collector Year Amount 2010 $299,152 2011 300,361 2012 313,660 2013 174,494 2014 123,660 2015 124,055 $1,335,382 NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2009, the Santa Rosa Island Authority transferred infrastructure assets, valued at $16,078,251, to the Board. The assets are included in governmental activities capital assets in the government-wide financial statements. NOTE 6 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The County is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the County Attorney the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the County. The County receives significant financial assistance from federal and state agencies primarily in the form of capital and operating grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by grantor agencies. Disallowed claims, if any, resulting from such audits may become liabilities of the County. However, in the opinion of management, disallowed claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the County s financial statements. During 2009, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the US Department of Homeland Security concluded its review of funding provided to the Sheriff from FEMA relating to Hurricane Ivan and recommended that approximately $2.1 million of the $6.6 million awarded the Sheriff should be disallowed. At September 30, 2009, the County has reported within the Sheriff s Programs non-major governmental fund balance sheet a due to other governmental units of approximately $2.1 million; 65

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT COUNTY-WIDE NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 however, the Sheriff is appealing the OIG s recommendations and a final resolution has not yet been reached. NOTE 7 INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS The Sheriff and Clerk each established an internal service fund in 2004 to record the annual costs related to their respective compensated absences policies, to record the short-term and long-term components of such liabilities (including payments to employees), and to collect and hold cash and investments necessary to liquidate such liabilities. The related costs associated with these funds will be recovered via charges to the respective general funds and other funds having employees, in accordance with generally accepted criteria for establishment and use of an internal service fund. At September 30, 2009, the Sheriff s and Clerk s internal service funds have accumulated deficits of ($15,216,931) and ($522,313), respectively, which will be eliminated over a reasonable period of time. NOTE 8 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS In 2009, the Board conceptually agreed to assume ownership of the abandoned Saufley Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Facility located at 5660 Saufley Field Road. Upon assumption of ownership, the County intends to close the facility and convert it to a beneficial use. The Board has entered into an agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) whereby the Board agrees to become responsible for the closure within twenty-four months of ownership, and the long-term care and groundwater monitoring of the Facility in accordance with applicable FDEP rules. As part of this agreement, FDEP shall direct Evanston Insurance Company to reimburse the Board for authorized closure costs incurred to the extent such funds are available from the insurer. Closure costs are estimated to be $5.9 million, with an additional $300,000 estimated for groundwater monitoring. At September 30, 2009, title to the property had not been assumed by the Board. 66

The County is governed by a five member Board of County Commissioners (the Board ), elected from single-member districts. The Board has no powers other than those expressly vested in it by State Statute and their governmental powers cannot be delegated. The Board appoints an administrator to administer all policies emanating from its statutory powers and authority. In addition to the Board, there are five elected Constitutional Officers, pursuant to Article 8, Section 1(d), of the Constitution of the State of Florida: Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of Elections. The accounting policies of the Board conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US) as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. A. Financial Reporting Entity The combined financial statements include the operations of the Board and those separately administered organizations for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government operations. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate statement in the basic financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government. These special-purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Escambia County, Florida taken as a whole. As permitted by Chapter 10.556(4), Rules of the Auditor General State of Florida, the special-purpose financial statements consists of only the fund level financial statements as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, and do not include presentations of government-wide financial statements of the Board of County Commissioners. Blended Component Units Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) In 1995, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 95-6 which established the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of Escambia County pursuant to The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969. The Board serves as the CRA Board and has all rights, powers, duties, privileges and immunities authorized by the Act. The CRA is reported as a major special revenue fund. Five redevelopment areas are included under the CRA jurisdiction. Discretely Presented Component Units Governmental Fund Type: Escambia County Law Library Board The Escambia County Law Library Board, created under Special Act, Chapter 69-1048, Laws of Florida, provides for the maintenance of a central law library for the use of citizens, county officials, judges and officers of the courts of Escambia County. The operations of the Law Library Board are funded by collection of fees by the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller on civil cases filed in the courts in addition to other costs provided by law. The Law Library Board is composed of two (2) circuit judges, two (2) county judges and one (1) lawyer appointed by the local bar association. The operations of the Law Library are reported in the Law Library Fund, a special revenue fund, as a discrete component unit. Financial statements for the Escambia County Law Library Board can be obtained at 190 Governmental Center, Pensacola, Florida 32502-5773. 17

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Proprietary Fund Type: Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) The Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) was established by the provisions of Chapter 24-500, Laws of Florida, Special Acts of 1947, as amended. The Board appoints five (5) members of the Authority s six (6) member Board, and one (1) member is elected by the eligible voters who are full time residents of the Island. The Board approves the Authority s budget, issuance of debt, and has veto power over decisions of the Authority. The SRIA serves as the Board s leasing agent for property on Santa Rosa Island owned by the Board. The operations of SRIA are reported in the SRIA Fund, a discrete component unit in this report. Financial statements for the SRIA can be obtained at 1 Via Deluna, Pensacola Beach, Florida 32561. Escambia County Housing Finance Authority The Escambia County Housing Finance Authority (HFA) was created in 1982 by Ordinance No. 80-12 pursuant to Chapter 78-89, Laws of Florida codified as Chapter 159, Part IV, Section 159.601 through 159.23. The Board appoints five (5) members of the HFA and must approve by resolution any rules or regulations, the issuance of revenue bonds and all contracts and agreements. The Escambia County HFA and the Board are not substantially the same. The HFA does not provide services almost entirely for the Board. Therefore, the operations of the Escambia County HFA are reported as a discrete component unit in this report. Financial statements for the Escambia County HFA can be obtained at 25 West Cedar Street, Suite 530, Pensacola, Florida 32502-5945. Because these component units have been reported as a part of the Board, there are limited instances where special note references or separation will be required. If no separate note reference or categorization is made, the user should assume that information presented is equally applicable. Joint Ventures As defined in GASB Statement Number 14, a joint venture is a separate legal entity or other organization that results from a contractual arrangement (or interlocal agreement) and that is owned, operated or governed by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control in which the participants retain (a) an on-going financial interest or (b) an on-going financial responsibility. The Board participates and provides financial support to the following nonequity joint ventures: Human Relations Commission (HRC) The Commission was created by an Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County and the City of Pensacola in 1978, pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 163.01, for the purpose of being responsible for the promotion of fair treatment and equal opportunity to all citizens of the local community. The Commission is composed of fourteen (14) members; seven (7) selected by the Board and seven (7) selected by the City of Pensacola. The duration of this agreement is for a period of two (2) years, with a renewal provision. The Board does not control budgeting or financing for the Commission. Separate financial statements are available from the Commission at 2257 Baylen Street, Pensacola, Florida 32501. Pensacola Escambia County Promotion and Development Commission (PEDC) This Commission was created in 1967 by Chapter 67-1365, Laws of Florida, amended in 1980 by Chapter 80-579, to promote and develop tourism and industry in Escambia County and in the City of Pensacola.

Summary financial statements as of September 30, 2009 for the joint ventures are as follows: STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 HRC PEDC Assets and other debits $31,379 $8,692,301 Liabilities 14,725 8,362,390 Net assets Invested in capital assets 4,560 0 Restricted assets 0 61,198 Unrestricted 12,094 268,713 Total net assets $16,654 $329,911 STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 HRC PEDC Revenues $242,125 $270,841 Expenses (237,447) (270,544) Change in net assets 4,678 297 Net assets beginning 11,976 329,614 Net assets ending $16,654 $329,911 B. Basic Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements consist of the fund financial statements. These statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business-type activities. Individual fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and discrete component units. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. The Board reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the government s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Disaster Recovery Fund accounts for resources provided from various State and Federal grants, such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) accounts for the revenues and expenditures of the redevelopment areas established within the County. 19

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The Transportation Trust Fund accounts for gasoline taxes and other revenues to be expended on various transportation projects within the County. The Local Option Sales Tax II Fund accounts for monies collected pursuant to Florida Statutes 212.055, which authorized counties to impose a one percent (1%) local option infrastructure sales surtax upon taxable transactions occurring within Escambia County, to provide for road and drainage projects and improvements, recreation projects, public safety, expansion of jail and court facilities, and community redevelopment projects. This tax which was to expire May 31, 2007 was extended for an additional 11 years and is accounted for in the Local Option Sales Tax III Fund. The Local Option Sales Tax III Fund accounts for monies collected pursuant to Florida Statutes 212.055, authorizing counties to impose a one percent (1%) local option infrastructure sales tax as described above. This tax was approved by referendum for the period January 1, 2007 December 31, 2017. The Board reports the following major proprietary funds: The Solid Waste Fund accounts for solid waste disposal (landfill) operations, primarily financed through franchise fees and user charges. The Ambulance Fund accounts for the cost of emergency medical services provided in Escambia County. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund. Additionally, the Board reports the following fund type: The Internal Service Fund accounts for risk management activities and garage and fuel activities provided to other County departments, as well as the administration of employee benefits. C. Basis of Presentation, Basis of Accounting Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Board considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period, except for certain grant revenues which are recognized as revenues in the same period the grant expenditures occurred. State shared revenues, sales taxes, franchise taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, except for debt service expenditures and expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recorded when payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are recorded as expenditures in governmental funds. Monies received from issuing longterm debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Under the terms of some grant agreements, the Board funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when the program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the Board s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues. 20

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The Board has elected to follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements and interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, for all governmental and business-type activities and enterprise funds, unless those standards conflict with or contradict guidance of the GASB pronouncements. Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting, distinguishing operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Board s enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and the internal service fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity Cash or Cash Equivalents consists of cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from date of acquisition. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments represent assets pooled for investment purposes with each individual fund and/or account maintained on a daily transaction basis. Such investments consist of demand deposits, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury Bills, and notes of certain instrumentalities. Investment earnings are allocated to the participating funds on a pro-rata basis. As defined by GASB Statement No. 31, money market investments are reported at amortized cost rather than fair value. The Board has adopted an investment policy in accordance with specific requirements of Florida Statute 218.415 (1) (16). This policy authorizes investments in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, Federal Instrumentalities, time deposits and savings accounts in qualified public depositories, tax exempt obligations of the State of Florida, the Florida Counties Investment Trust, Securities and Exchange qualified open-end money market mutual funds, the State of Florida s Local Government Surplus Trust Fund (SBA), and repurchase agreements. Trade Receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Solid Waste Fund records an allowance for receivables older than 90 days, while the Internal Service Fun provides an allowance on those receivables where there have been no collections during the past year. All other Board Funds record allowance on accounts older than 120 days. The Board records unbilled service receivables for services that have been rendered but not billed at the end of the fiscal year. Real and Personal Property Valuations are determined each year as of January 1 by the Property Appraiser s Office. Florida Statues require all property be assessed at 100% of just value. For fiscal year 2009, the County-wide millage rate was 6.9755 mills. All property taxes are billed in arrears and become due and payable on November 1, and are delinquent on April 1, of the following year. The legal lien date is January 1 of each year. Discounts of 4, 3, 2, and 1 percent are allowed for early payment in November through February, respectively. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via the sale of tax certificates prior to fiscal year end. Due From/(To) Other Funds are activities between funds. Such amounts are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year and are referred to as either due to /from other funds (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). 21

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Advances To/(From) Other Funds, as reported in the governmental fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve to indicate such amounts are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. Inventory amounts are valued at cost (first-in, first-out). Inventory balances in general, special revenue and enterprise funds are accounted for on the consumption method, i.e., expenditures and expenses are recognized when inventories are used. Inventories are equally offset by a fund balance reserve since such amounts are not available spendable resources even though they are a component of net current assets. Restricted Assets are assets of governmental and business-type activities that are restricted per bond resolutions or other agreements. Capital Assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Purchased or constructed assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The Board capitalizes items costing $1,000 and having an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Buildings, public domain and system infrastructure assets which represent major expenditures for such items as roads, water and sewer lines, landfill improvements, and parks and drainage systems are capitalized at historical cost. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable capital assets are as follows: Buildings Improvements Infrastructure Equipment 10 50 years 20 50 years 20 50 years 3 10 years Compensated Absences are accrued in accordance with GASB Statement No. 16. It is the policy of the Board to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused leave benefits which will be paid to employees upon separation from service. Unpaid compensated absences are recorded as a liability in the proprietary fund financial statements. For governmental funds, there is no legal requirement to accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate the obligation; these expenditures are recognized in the governmental funds when payments are made to employees. Other Post-Employment Benefits provisions were adopted by the Board effective October 1, 2007 under the provisions of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The effect of this adoption was to establish uniform reporting standards for Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) expense and related liabilities (assets), note disclosures, and required supplementary information (RSI) in annual financial reports of governmental entities. GASB Statement No. 45, improves the relevance and usefulness of financial reporting by: (a) requiring systematic, accrual-basis measurement and recognition of Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) over a period that approximates employees years of service and (b) providing information about actuarial accrued liabilities associated with OPEB and whether and to what extent progress is being made in funding the plan. 22

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Self Insurance Claims Payable represents liabilities for reported claims and incurred but not reported claims based on an actuarial review of claims pending and historical experience. Landfill Closure and Post Closure Care Payable represents the recognition of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) closure and postclosure care costs under the State of Florida s Solid Waste Management Act of 1988 (the 1988 Act ), regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and GASB Statement No. 18. MSWLF costs incurred for landfills accepting solid waste after final implementation of the 1988 Act and EPA regulations are recognized as an expense and a liability in each year that the MSWLF accepts solid waste based upon the landfill capacity used during that year. Long Term Obligations in the proprietary fund types are reported as liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. Long-term obligations related to governmental fund type activities are not reported in these special purpose financial statements. However, as required by Chapter 10.557(3)(g) Rules of the Auditor General State of Florida, the notes to the financial statements include disclosures related to such longterm obligations. The Board reports pollution (including contamination) remediation obligations, which are obligations to address the current or potential detrimental effects of existing pollution, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations. The circumstances under which the Board will have to estimate, record, and disclose its expected outlays for pollution remediation include: the pollution is an imminent danger to public health or welfare; the Board is in violation of a pollution prevention-related permit or license; the Board has been named as a responsible party under Superfund or similar state laws; the Board is named in a lawsuit that would require participation in remediation activities; or the Board legally commits itself to conduct remediation activities. Fund Equity in the governmental fund s financial statements report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Net Assets The proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation. Net assets are categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and unrestricted. Invested in Capital Assets (net of Related Debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets which are associated with non-liquid, capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt. Unrestricted Net Assets represent unrestricted liquid assets. While Board management may have categorized and segmented portions for various purposes, the Board has the unrestricted authority to revisit or alter these managerial decisions. E. Revenues, Expenditures and Expenses Substantially all governmental fund revenues, expenditures and expenses are accrued. Property taxes are billed and generally collected within the same period in which the taxes are levied. 23

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 A. Budgetary Information NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles as required by Florida Statute 129 for all funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. On or before May 1 of each year, the Sheriff, Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and the Supervisor of Elections each submit to the Board a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. Within fifteen days after certification of the ad valorem tax roll by the Property Appraiser, the County Budget Officer submits to the Board a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 st. The Budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Board holds public hearings and a final budget must be prepared and adopted no later than September 30. The County s budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Management and Budget Services Bureau is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments of a fund and between departments of a fund; however, the Board must approve any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the fund level. The Board approved supplemental budget amendments during the year that increased the original budget. A. Assets Deposits and Investments NOTE 3 DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS As of September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the County s deposits and investments with their respective credit ratings was as follows: Weighted Fair Credit Average Investment Type Value Rating Maturity (days) Demand and time deposits $26,336,838 N/A N/A Certificates of Deposit 25,000,000 N/A 276 days Money Market Accounts 73,562,116 N/A N/A US Treasuries 29,950,855 Aaa 101.23 days US Agencies 24,944,450 Aaa 184.36 days Total Deposits and Investments $179,794,259 Credit Risk: The Board s Investment Policy (Policy), limits credit risk by restricting authorized investments to the following: direct obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase 24

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 agreements, the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by Florida s State Board of Administration (a 2a7-like pool), certificates of deposit, money market mutual funds investing in direct obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities regulated by the SEC, and the Florida Local Government Investment Trust, an investment pool administered by the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers. The credit ratings indicated in the above table are Moody s Investors Services (Moody s) ratings. Concentration of Credit Risk: The Policy requires that bank deposits be secured as provided by Chapter 280, Florida Statues. This law requires local governments to deposit funds only in financial institutions designated as qualified public depositories by the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, and creates the Public Deposits Trust Fund, a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a default or insolvency has occurred. As of September 30, 2009, all of the Board s bank deposits were in qualified public depositories. The Policy requires the assets shall be diversified to control the risk of loss resulting from the over concentration of assets. The Policy establishes guidelines for limiting the percentage of the portfolio by permissible investment category as well as issuer limits within an investment category. The Policy requires execution of a third-party custodial safekeeping agreement for all purchased securities, and requires that securities be held in the Board s name. As of September 30, 2009, all of the Board s investments are held in a bank s trust department in the Board s name. Interest Rate Risk: The Policy limits the investment of current operating funds to no longer than one (1) year. Investments of current operating funds will be matched to cash flow needs. Investment of bond reserves, construction funds and other non-operating funds shall have a term appropriate to the need for funds, and in accordance with debt covenants, but shall not exceed five (5) years. 25

The Bonds are limited special obligations of the County collateralized by a lien on and pledge of, among other things, the proceeds of the local government half-cent sales tax distributed to the County from the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund. The proceeds of the bonds were used to finance the costs of a current refunding of all of the County s Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 1993, originally issued in the amount of $50,355,000, with a balance of $48,830,000 at the date of refunding, and to provide approximately $39,000,000 to finance the cost of certain capital improvement projects of the County including (1) renovating and expanding the Sheriff s administrative building; (2) renovating the jail infirmary; (3) expanding the jail annex; (4) expanding the road prison; (5) acquiring and constructing a parking garage; (6) constructing, renovating, and expanding certain facilities contained within the administrative master plan; (7) constructing a library facility in Perdido Key; (8) renovating the juvenile justice addition; (9) constructing a new one-stop permitting building; (10) finishing out the third, fourth and fifth floors of the M.C.

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The Project also includes construction and/or equipping of other capital improvements to be determined by the County. Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds Series 2002 in aggregate principal amount of $22,305,000 were issued pursuant to the authority of the Constitution, the laws of the State of Florida, County ordinances, the Santa Rosa Island Authority Special Act and various resolutions, including the interlocal agreement entered into by the Authority and the County. The proceeds are being spent to finance the construction of certain capital improvements on Santa Rosa Island including road improvements to Via DeLuna Drive and Fort Pickens Road, constructing a water reclamation and reuse system, making improvements to the stormwater management system, burying existing above-ground utilities, and making certain landscaping improvements. The 2002 Bonds are special limited obligations of the County, payable solely from and secured by pledge of residential and commercial lease revenues collected by Santa Rosa Island Authority from island leaseholders (per interlocal agreement) and net toll revenues collected for passage across Bob Sikes Bridge to Santa Rosa Island. Tourist Development Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2002 in aggregate principal amount of $16,885,000 were issued pursuant to the authority of the Constitution, the laws of the State of Florida, including the County s Home Rule Ordinances 74-8 and 89-7, and resolutions adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. The proceeds, together with other available moneys, were used to finance the costs of refunding all of the County s Tourist Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1992, originally issued in the amount of $6,915,000, with a balance of $4,650,000 at the date of refunding, and the County s outstanding promissory note payable to the Florida Local Government Finance Commission in the amount of $850,000, and to provide approximately $12,000,000 for certain improvements on Santa Rosa Island consisting of beach nourishment and certain capital improvements to the Civic Center. The principal and interest on the 2002 Bonds are payable solely from and collateralized by a lien upon and a pledge of the Tourist Development Tax levied and collected by the County. Long-Term Debt Notes Capital Improvement Revenue Note Series 1997 allowed the Board to borrow $10,000,000 from the Gulf Breeze, Florida Capital Funding Program to fund the acquisition and construction of certain capital improvement projects. Pledged revenues toward payment of the loan are the electric franchise fees. The loan requires monthly interest payments at variable rates equal to the PSA Municipal Market, plus a maximum 34 basis points. At September 30, 2009, the rate was.74% Capital Improvement Revenue Note Series 2003 permitted the Board to borrow $3,000,000 from the Gulf Breeze, Florida Capital Funding Program to fund a capital building project for the Work Release Facility. There is a covenant by the Board to annually budget and appropriate sufficient funds to pay the debt service. The Board intends to use revenues generated from the Work Release Program. Repayments under the loan require monthly interest payments at variable rates equal to the PSA Municipal Market, plus a maximum 34 basis points. At September 30, 2009, the rate was.74%. Florida s Toll Facilities Revolving Trust Fund (TFRTF) allowed the County, in 1996, to enter into a loan agreement with the State of Florida s TFRTF. The TFRTF was created by the Florida Legislature to encourage the development and enhancement of the financial feasibility of revenue-producing road projects undertaken by local governmental entities. These interest-free advances are to be repaid either from proceeds from the project s anticipated bond issue or by installment payments over a five year period beginning in the seventh year from the date of the advance. Payments began in 2003. These advances were used to conduct feasibility studies on the proposed Escambia Expressway (extension of I- 110). The final payment on this loan was made during fiscal year 2009; therefore, the balance at September 30, 2009 was $0.00. 33

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) provided a $1,500,000 Community Express Loan for the County to provide a construction bridge loan to the Interfaith Housing Coalition (IHC), a non-profit agency building low-income affordable housing in Escambia County. The loan was to provide a partial funding for the IHC s planned community named Journey, a 150-home subdivision within the Englewood Community Redevelopment Area. Loan repayment provisions required quarterly interest payments at variable rates equal to the 3-month LIBOR, plus 150 basis points, as posted on the last business day of the preceding quarter. Due to the economic conditions in the mortgage market, the project was cancelled by IHC, and the loan was repaid to FNMA during fiscal year 2009. Capital Leases The Board is obligated under lease-purchase agreements for the purchase of new chiller equipment. These leases qualify as capital leases for accounting purposes and are recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The acquired assets have been recorded in the governmental assets at a book value of $3,710,711. Amortization of $213,614 on the leased equipment is included in current year depreciation expense. The Santa Rosa Island Authority has entered into several capital leases for office equipment with terms of 36-60 months. The acquired assets have been recorded at a book value of $70,071. Amortization on equipment under capital lease is included in depreciation expense. Maturities of the obligations under capital lease are as follows: Board of Santa Rosa County Island Commissioners Authority Balance 10/01/2008 $1,799,730 $6,539 Additions Principal payments (635,218) (4,396) Balance 09/30/2009 $1,164,512 $2,143 Future lease payments 2010 $688,166 $2,309 2011 516,124 0 Total minimum lease payments 1,204,290 2,309 Less amount representing interest (39,778) (166) Net minimum lease payments $1,164,512 $2,143 Refunding of Outstanding Debt in prior years permitted the Board to defease certain special obligation and other revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in irrevocable trusts to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account asset and liabilities are not included in the Board s financial statements. On September 30, 2009, four bond issues are outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $38,950,000. Long-Term Debt Arbitrage Liability represents the excess of interest earned from the investment of certain debt proceeds and pledged revenues over the yield rate of the applicable debt. Pursuant to Section 148 (f) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the County must rebate any excess to the United States Government. Arbitrage rebate, if any, is due and payable on each five-year anniversary of the respective bond issue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there is no arbitrage rebate liability outstanding. 34

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Conduit Debt Obligations have been established in the County s name by private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Neither the Board, nor the State, nor any political subdivision thereof, is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding conduit debt of Escambia County is $3,651,255,277. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Payable represents the accrued liability for closure and postclosure costs for the County s landfills. Regulations require the Board to cover landfills when they stop accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date the landfills stop accepting waste, the Board reports a portion of these closure and postclosure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each statement of net assets date. Currently, the Beulah, Klondike, Mobile Highway and Camp Five sites are closed. The Perdido Landfill is the only site accepting waste. At year end, $12,284,809 was reported ($105,398 payable from restricted assets and $12,179,411 as long-term liability) as the landfill closure and postclosure care liability in the statement of net assets. This amount is based upon estimated costs to perform closure and postclosure care in 2009, determined from the most recently available engineering studies computed on the ratio of landfill capacity filled at year end to total estimated capacity. Capacity is measured in space utilized by the type of waste being accepted. The Class I capacity is at 63.33% and the Class III capacity is at 64.00%. The Board will recognize the remaining estimated costs of closure and postclosure care of approximately $4.9 million as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology or changes in regulations. During 2008, a landfill mining initiative was instituted at the Perdido Landfill. These mining efforts have added significant capacity and life to the landfill. The landfill mining project has resulted in a significant reduction in the long-term care estimates, while continuing to provide the citizens of Escambia County an efficient and effective landfill operation. Closure and Postclosure Care Liability: Beginning Ending Balance Balance 10/1/2008 Additions Deletions 9/30/2009 Current: $103,331 $2,067 $0 $105,398 Long-term Liability 14,351,881 0 (2,172,470) 12,179,411 Total $14,455,212 $2,067 ($2,172,470) $12,284,809 State and federal laws and regulations require the Board to make annual contributions to a cash escrow account to meet financial assurance requirements. The Board is in compliance with these requirements at September 30, 2009 with restricted cash and investments of $4,981,394 for these purposes. In the event closure escrows and interest earnings prove inadequate due to inflation, changes in technology or additional closure/postclosure care requirements, these costs may need to be covered by increased user charges. Pollution Remediation Obligation The Board has identified several potential pollution sites within the County which may require remediation. The preliminary results of the Board s analysis indicated several of the sites are not owned by the Board and that the State or Federal government may be responsible for 35

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 any required remediation. The Board-owned sites are being evaluated further for any pollution remediation obligations. At September 30, 2009, no pollution obligations are reported by the Board. NOTE 4 OTHER INFORMATION The Risk Management program was established by the Board to insure certain types of claims against the Board of County Commissioners, Constitutional Officers, and Santa Rosa Island Authority including losses related to theft, damage and destruction of assets; torts; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The following are the types of risks and coverage: Workers Compensation The County is covered for workers compensation claims through a policy with the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust. Coverage limits under the policy include statutory limits, as well as $1,000,000 bodily injury for each accident and $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease for each employee with an aggregate $1,000,000 policy limit. Prior to June 9, 2008, the County was self-insured up to a limit of $450,000 per occurrence with statutory limits. Casualty and Property Casualty limits are self-insured for $100,000 per claim with a $200,000 aggregate limit. Property limits are $50,000 - $250,000 self insured retentions per occurrence with excess limits of $500 million, $410 million excluding wind and $90 million including wind. Prior to June 9, 2008, the Board was self-insured for worker s compensation claims up to a limit of $450,000 per occurrence with statutory limits. The Board will continue to contract with a third party administrator to service all worker s compensation claims with dates of loss prior to June 9, 2008. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there have been no settlements which exceeded the Board s insurance coverage for the last three fiscal years. The Board currently reports all of its risk management activities, including claims liabilities, in the Internal Service Fund. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities on claims prior to June 9, 2008 include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). The claims liabilities totaling $11,066,262 reported in the Internal Service Fund at September 30, 2009 are actuarially determined based on historical and current information regarding the Fund. 2009 2008 Unpaid claims, beginning $10,818,626 $11,701,265 Claims incurred and changes in estimates 4,756,111 3,930,749 Less: claims paid (4,508,475) (4,813,388) Unpaid claims, ending 11,066,262 10,818,626 Estimated claims due within one year (4,611,673) (4,460,309) Estimated claims due longer than one year $6,454,589 $6,358,317 Pension and Retirement Plan Substantially all full-time employees of the Board are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The FRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. 36

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements vary depending on membership class. Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and years-ofservice credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program available for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. Contributions made are equal to the actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year and are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Contributions for the past three years were as follows: 2009 2008 2007 Board of County Commissioners $5,372,743 $5,765,709 $5,635,591 Discretely presented component units: Santa Rosa Island Authority 141,473 141,869 154,706 Law Library 3,090 3,090 2,755 $5,517,306 $5,910,668 $5,793,052 Post-employment benefits other than pension (OPEB) are provided by the Board in the form of health insurance for retired participants (and their dependents/beneficiaries) at the same rate as active participants. In health insurance plans where a government s retirees and current employees are insured together as a group, the premiums paid by the retirees may be lower than they would have been if the retirees were insured separately. This is called an implicit rate subsidy. Under this single-employer plan, benefit provisions are essentially the same for the Board of County Commissioners and all of the other Constitutional Officers, except for the Sheriff, who maintains a separate health insurance contract and therefore has different costs associated with the premium payments on behalf of the Sheriff s employees. A stand-alone financial report is not prepared for the OPEB plan, however, a summary of each 37

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Constitutional Officer s participation in this OPEB plan can be found in their separately issued financial statements. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year 2008, the Board engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment health insurance plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuary report for 2009. The Board may amend the OPEB plan at its discretion. At October 1, 2008, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of: OPEB plan participants 1,038 Retirees receiving benefits 243 The Board has the authority to establish and amend the OPEB funding policy, and is not required by law or other contractual agreement to provide funding for the implicit rate subsidy other than the pay-as-yougo amount necessary to provide current benefits for participants in its health insurance plan. During 2009, the Board paid approximately $715,000 as funding of the implicit rate subsidy OPEB. The Board s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the Board s OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the Board s net OPEB obligation: For the fiscal year ending 9/30/2009 Determination of Annual Required Contribution (ARC) Normal Cost at year end $824,684 Amortization of the unfunded actuarial liabilities (UAAL) 1,087,202 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $1,911,886 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $1,911,886 Interest on net OPEB obligation 47,330 Adjustment to annual required contribution (68,428) Annual OPEB cost (expense) 1,890,788 Employer contributions made* (714,655) Increase in net OPEB obligation 1,176,133 Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year 1,193,220 Estimated Net OPEB obligation - end of year $2,369,353 *Actuarially estimated employer contributions for 2009. 38

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The Board s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2009 and the two preceding years were as follows: Annual Percentage of Net OPEB OPEB Cost OPEB Fiscal year ended Cost Contributed Obligation 9/30/2007 N/A N/A N/A 9/30/2008 $1,846,405 35.38% $1,193,220 9/30/2009 $1,890,788 37.80% $2,369,353 Funding Policy and Status - As of October 1, 2008, the plan was 0% funded. The actuarial accrued liability (AAL) for benefits was $18,799,924 and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $18,799,924. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was $58 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 32.15%. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The OPEB-specific actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation described below are consistent with those used by the Florida Retirement System actuary and adopted by the Florida Retirement System. The actuarial methods are: Actuarial cost method: Amortization method: Amortization period (closed) Asset valuation method Unit Credit actuarial cost method Level dollar 30 years Market value of assets, if any, as of valuation date 39

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The actuarial assumptions are: Investment rate of return Healthcare cost trend rate 4.0%, compounded annually 8.75% reduced by decrements of 0.25% to 0.50% annually to an ultimate rate of 4.25% after 14 years. Leasing Arrangements provide almost all of the revenues for the Santa Rosa Island Authority. The Authority leases the land on County-owned Santa Rosa Island to residents and businesses under residential and commercial leases that typically run for a period of 99 years. Many of the 99-year leases have options to renew for another 99-year term. Many leases, particularly those for restaurants and concessions, are generally for a shorter period. Lease payments in future years are estimated to average approximately $3.7 million per year. Construction Commitments - The Board has active construction projects as of September 30, 2009 as follows: Engineering Services - Building $8,203,579 Engineering Services - Road Paving and Drainage 6,163,592 Engineering Services - Various 8,440,165 Engineering Services - Beach Restoration 455,150 Engineering Services - Solid Waste 4,623,982 $27,886,468 Of these commitments, $23,037,327 is reported in the governmental fund financial statements as reserved for encumbrances. The remaining $4,849,141 represents commitments in proprietary type funds which are not included in the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These commitments are evidenced by signed purchase orders and contracts which were entered into prior to September 30, 2009. Other Commitments - The Board has various non-construction contractual commitments at fiscal year end that will be re-appropriated in the new fiscal year. These commitments of $6,458,305 are included in Reserve for Encumbrances at September 30, 2009. On September 30, 2002, the Santa Rosa Island Authority s Board of Directors approved an interlocal agreement with Escambia County in connection with certain plans for economic development, transportation and beach improvements at Pensacola Beach. By resolution approved by the Santa Rosa Island Authority Board, the Authority s lease fee revenues are pledged for repayment of Tourist Development Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 and the Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2002. The Authority is scheduled to make payments to Escambia County of at least $600,000 each year through 2032. Operating leases for the Board are for various facilities throughout the County containing minimum guaranteed rentals averaging $31,250 monthly. The Board has the option to extend lease terms annually. Lease expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $255,216. 40

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Board purchased operating supplies of approximately $197,000 and fixed assets of $2.9 million on behalf of the Sheriff s office. These purchases are included in the Board of County Commissioner s expenditures for the year. The fixed assets were transferred to the Sheriff during the year and are included in the Sheriff s current year fixed asset additions. During 2009, the Santa Rosa Island Authority transferred infrastructure assets, valued at $16,078,251, to the Board. The assets are included in governmental activities capital assets in the government-wide financial statements. NOTE 6 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Board is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the County Attorney the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Board. The Board receives significant financial assistance from federal and state agencies primarily in the form of capital and operating grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by grantor agencies. Disallowed claims, if any, resulting from such audits may become liabilities of the Board. However, in the opinion of management, disallowed claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the Board s financial statements. NOTE 7 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS In 2009, the Board conceptually agreed to assume ownership of the abandoned Saufley Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Facility located at 5660 Saufley Field Road. Upon assumption of ownership, the County intends to close the facility and convert it to a beneficial use. The Board has entered into an agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) whereby the Board agrees to become responsible for the closure within twenty-four months of ownership, and the long-term care and groundwater monitoring of the Facility in accordance with applicable FDEP rules. As part of this agreement, FDEP shall direct Evanston Insurance Company to reimburse the Board for authorized closure costs incurred to the extent such funds are available from the insurer. Closure costs are estimated to be $5.9 million, with an additional $300,000 estimated for groundwater monitoring. At September 30, 2009, title to the property had not been assumed by the Board. 41

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller ( Clerk ) of Escambia County, Florida, is established as a constitutional official by Article VIII, Section 1 (d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The accounting policies of the Clerk s Office conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to local governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. PRINCIPLES USED IN DETERMINING THE SCOPE OF ENTITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES Although the Clerk s Office is operationally autonomous from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), it does not hold sufficient corporate powers of its own to be considered a legally separate entity for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the Clerk is reported as a part of the primary government of Escambia County, Florida. These special-purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Escambia County, Florida taken as a whole. As permitted by Chapter 10.556(4), Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, the special-purpose financial statements consists of only the fund level financial statements as defined in Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, and do not include presentations of government-wide statements of the Clerk. BASIS OF PRESENTATION FUND ACCOUNTING The Clerk s financial records and accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting, whereby resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds to insure compliance with any special restrictions or limitations on the use of such resources. The Clerk s funds are defined as follows: Governmental Funds The Clerk reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Clerk. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds. The Clerk s Court Fund accounts for court-related financial resources and activities of the Clerk. The Clerk s Special Revenue Fund accounts for monies collected according to Chapter 28.24, Florida Statutes to be used exclusively for the purchase and maintenance of equipment, personal training, and technical assistance in modernizing the official records system and for funding court-related technology needs of the Clerk as defined in Chapter 29.008, Florida Statutes. Effective July 1, 2009, Section 28.37(2), Florida Statutes specifies 10% of all court-related fines are to be deposited into this fund to be used exclusively for additional court-related operational needs and program enhancements. Also included in the Special Revenue Fund are activities related to Title IV-D child support cases. Title IV-D funding provides assistance to the plaintiff and enforcement of collections through the Office of Child Support Enforcement. 11

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Additionally, the Clerk reports the following fund types: The Internal Service Fund (a proprietary fund) accounts for the balances and activity related to the Clerk s compensated absences policies. Fiduciary Funds Agency Funds Agency funds are used to account for assets held for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of the results of operations. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Governmental funds are reported using the current resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Clerk considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Capital asset acquisitions are recorded as expenditures in governmental funds. Proprietary funds (the internal service fund) are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Clerk s internal service fund are charges to funds related to the Clerk s compensated absences activity. Operating expenses for the internal service fund include recognition of changes in the compensated absences liabilities. All revenues and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. Fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The Clerk s Office operates under budget procedures pursuant to Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Investments are recorded at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31. 12

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPENSATED ABSENCES Employees may accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused sick leave, annual leave, and compensatory time, which will be paid upon separation from service. The liabilities and expenses for compensated absences are recorded in the internal service fund. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE The Clerk has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between September 30, 2009 and December 17, 2009, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. NOTE 2 SPECIAL REPORTING TREATMENTS Appropriations from the BOCC are recorded as transfers in on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance. In accordance with Florida Statutes, the General Fund s excess of revenues over expenditures is returned to the BOCC at year end and is reported as a transfer out on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance. In accordance with Florida Statutes, the Court Fund s excess of revenues over expenditures is returned to the State of Florida Clerk of Court Trust Fund at year end and is reported as Payments to Clerk of Court Trust Fund on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance. This remittance is based on revenues and expenditures for the state fiscal year ending June 30 th. Any such revenues in excess of expenditures as of September 30, 2009, are included as Fund Balance for the Court Fund and are available for use within the Court Fund until June 30, 2010. Capital assets (vehicles, equipment and other tangible property costing at least $1,000 with a useful life of more than one year) are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. These assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated in Escambia County s government-wide financial statements. NOTE 3 DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS Cash Deposits The investment of surplus funds is governed by the provisions of Florida Statute 218.415 as to the type of investments that can be made. Deposits may be exposed to custodial credit risk, which is the risk of loss in the event of a bank failure. The Clerk manages custodial credit risk by maintaining its deposits in financial institutions designated as Qualified Public Depositories by the State Treasurer. All deposits were fully insured through a combination of Federal depository insurance and participation of the financial institution in the multiple financial institution collateral pool as specified in Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, risk of loss due to bank failure is not significant. 13

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 At September 30, 2009, the reported amount of the Clerk s deposits was approximately $13.3 million, and the bank balance was approximately $13.4 million consisting entirely of deposits in checking and saving accounts. Receivables The Clerk records an allowance for accounts receivable related to returned checks that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for returned checks in the Court Fund was $38,656. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are maintained since other receivables are considered collectible. Interfund Balances At September 30, 2009, $101,411 was owed by the General Fund to the Court Registry Fund for tax deed payments collected by not yet remitted to the Court Registry Fund. Related Party Balances At September 30, 2009, the BOCC owed the Clerk $5,315, consisting mainly of expenditures paid on behalf of the BOCC. The Clerk also owed the BOCC $233,317, consisting of excess revenues over expenditures for the General Fund and portions of fines and fees collected by the Clerk on behalf of the BOCC. Pension and Retirement Plan All full-time employees of the Clerk are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The FRS issues a financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements vary depending on membership class. Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and years-ofservice credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). 14

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program available for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. The Clerk s contributions to the Pension Plan, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, were equal to the actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year. The Clerk s contributions to the Investment Plan were equal to the legislature-mandated contribution rates, which are equal to a percentage of the members gross monthly salary based on the members membership class. Contributions to both plans totaled $754,149, $846,043, and $831,033, for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Plan The Clerk participates in the health insurance plan offered to employees of the BOCC and other County Elected Officials (the Board plan). Additionally, retirees and eligible dependants have the option of continuing in the Board plan at the same group rate as for active employees. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year end 2008 the BOCC engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment health insurance benefits as of September 30, 2008 for all participants of the Board plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuarial report for 2009. Costs attributed to the Clerk have been allocated based on the Clerk s payroll compared to total payroll of all participants in the Board plan. The Clerk s Annual Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) cost for fiscal year 2009 was $332,894, and the employer contributions included in Personal Services expenditures in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance were $125,823. The net OPEB obligation of the Clerk was $422,071, and the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability, which is being amortized over a thirty year period as part of the Annual Required Contribution (ARC), was $3,309,940. Because these financial statements focus on current financial resources, they do not include the net OPEB obligation or any other long-term liability. A full presentation of the OPEB liabilities, funding status, and actuarial methods and assumptions is included in the 2009 BOCC s Annual Financial Report. 15

Coverage limits under the policy include statutory limits, as well as $1,000,000 bodily injury for each accident and $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease for each employee with an aggregate $1,000,000 policy limit. Prior to June 9, 2008, the County was self-insured up to a limit of $450,000 per occurrence with statutory limits.

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Office of the Sheriff of Escambia County, Florida (the Sheriff ), is established as a constitutional official by Article VIII, Section 1 (d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The accounting policies of the Sheriff conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to local governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. PRINCIPLES USED IN DETERMINING THE SCOPE OF ENTITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES Although the Sheriff is operationally autonomous from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (Board), it does not hold sufficient corporate powers of its own to be considered a legally separate entity for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the Sheriff is reported as a part of the primary government of Escambia County, Florida. These special-purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Escambia County, Florida taken as a whole. As permitted by Chapter 10.556(4), Rules of the Auditor General State of Florida, the special-purpose financial statements consist of only the fund level financial statements as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 34, and do not include presentations of government-wide financial statements of the Sheriff. BASIS OF PRESENTATION FUND ACCOUNTING The Sheriff s financial records and accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting, whereby resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds to insure compliance with any special restrictions or limitations on the use of such resources. The Sheriff reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the Sheriff. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds. Commissary Fund The fund accounts for inmate commissary sales, with revenues used to cover operational expenses of the fund with any remaining profits available for inmate welfare and recreation. Hurricane Ivan Fund The fund was established to account for costs and related grant reimbursements attributable to Hurricane Ivan. Justice Fund The fund was established to account for the costs and revenues related to the Department of Justice Law Enforcement Trust Fund. Cops Tech Fund The fund was established to account for costs and related grant reimbursements attributable to the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) technical grant. Additionally, the Sheriff reports the following funds: Special Revenue Funds The Sheriff maintains special revenue funds to account for grant activity. Proprietary Fund: Internal Service Fund The internal service fund accounts for balances and activity related to the Sheriff s compensated absences policies. 14

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Fiduciary Funds: Agency Funds Agency funds are used to account for assets held as an agency for individuals, private organizations or other governments. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of the results of operations. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Sheriff considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. Capital asset acquisitions are recorded as expenditures in governmental funds. Under terms of grant agreements, the Sheriff funds certain programs by a combination of specific costreimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when the program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the Sheriff s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues. Proprietary funds (the internal service fund) are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Sheriff s internal service fund are charges to funds related to the Sheriff s compensated absences activity. Operating expenses for the internal service fund include recognition of increases in the compensated absences liabilities. All revenues and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. Fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The Sheriff operates under budget procedures pursuant to Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The budget for the Sheriff s general fund is a legally adopted budget whereas budgets for the special revenue funds are prepared and used solely as an internal management tool and are not considered legally adopted. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. 15

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 INVENTORY Inventory, which consists of expendable supplies held for consumption, is stated at lower of cost or market, determined primarily by the first-in, first-out method. The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual inventory items are purchased and reported as inventory based on physical inventory of supplies on hand at year end. COMPENSATED ABSENCES The Sheriff and the Florida Police Benevolent Association, Inc., the law enforcement bargaining unit, have several labor agreements representing employees of the Sheriff. Under these labor agreements, employees may accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused sick leave, annual leave, and compensatory time, which will be paid upon separation from service. CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets (vehicles, equipment and other tangible property costing at least $1,000 with a useful life of more than one year) are recorded as expenditures in the acquiring fund when purchased. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Title to buildings and improvements vests with the Board and the Board records the capitalization of these assets and any related depreciation, in the County s government-wide financial statements. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line method with an estimated useful life of five years. NOTE 2 SPECIAL REPORTING TREATMENTS Appropriations from the Board are recorded as transfers in in the General Fund on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (GAAP Basis) and Actual. In accordance with Florida Statutes, the excess of General Fund revenues and other financing sources (not otherwise transferred to another fund) over expenditures is returned to the Board at year-end and is reported in transfers out on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (GAAP Basis) and Actual. At September 30, 2009, Board transfers totaled $23,318. ASSETS NOTE 3 DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS Cash Deposits and Investments The Sheriff has an investment policy governed by the provisions of Florida Statute 218.415 as to the type of investments that can be made. Authorized investments include the Local Government Surplus Trust Fund or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969, Security and Exchange registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a recognized rating agency, savings accounts or certificates of deposit in state-certified depositories, notes, bonds or T-bills or other direct obligations of the United 16

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 States Treasury, federal agencies and instruments, and repurchase agreements. Deposits may be exposed to custodial credit risk, which is the risk of loss in the event of a bank failure. The Sheriff manages custodial credit risk by maintaining deposits in financial institutions designated as Qualified Public Depositories by the State Treasurer. All deposits were fully insured through a combination of Federal depository insurance and participation of the financial institution in the multiple financial institution collateral pool as specified in Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, risk of loss due to bank failure is not significant. At September 30, 2009, the reported amount of the Sheriff s cash balances was $10,871,236, and the bank balance was $11,299,255 consisting entirely of deposits with financial institutions in checking and money market accounts. Changes in Capital Assets It is not appropriate to report capital assets and the related depreciation in the governmental fund financial statements. However, the following information is reported as a component of the County s government-wide financial statements and is required to be disclosed by Chapter 10.557(3)(g) Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida: Balance Balance 10/01/08 Additions Deletions 09/30/09 Equipment $25,658,179 $3,797,326 ($2,367,739) $27,087,766 Less accumulated depreciation (19,336,672) (2,908,743) 2,206,395 (20,039,020) Net $6,321,507 $888,583 ($161,344) $7,048,746 Depreciation expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $2,908,743. LIABILITIES Pension and Retirement Plan - Substantially all full-time employees of the Sheriff are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The FRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements may vary depending on membership class. 17

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and yearsof-service credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. The Sheriff s contributions to the Pension Plan, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, were equal to the actuarially determined contribution for each year. Contributions to the Investment Plan were equal to the legislature-mandated contribution rates, which are equal to a percentage of the members gross monthly salary based on the members membership class. Contributions to both plans totaled $7,255,976, $7,450,765, and $7,584,963, for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Plan Post Employment Benefits other than pension are provided by the Sheriff in the form of health insurance for retired participants at the same rate as active participants. In health insurance plans where a government s retirees and current employees are insured together as a group, the premiums paid by the retirees may be lower than they would have been if the retirees were insured separately. This is called an implicit rate subsidy. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year 2008, the Board, on behalf of the Sheriff, engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment single-employer health insurance plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuary report for 2009. The Sheriff may amend the Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) plan at its discretion. At October 1, 2008, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of: OPEB plan participants 1,072 Retirees receiving benefits 379 The Sheriff has the authority to establish and amend the OPEB funding policy, and is not required by law or other contractual agreement to provide funding for the implicit rate subsidy other than the pay-as-yougo amount necessary to provide current benefits for participants in its health insurance plan. During 2009, the Sheriff paid approximately $471,000 as funding of the implicit rate subsidy OPEB. 18

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 The Sheriff s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the Sheriff s OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the Sheriff s net OPEB obligation: For the Fiscal Year Ending 9/30/2009 Determination of Annual Required Contribution (ARC) Normal cost at year end $555,045 Amortization of UAAL 689,491 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $1,244,536 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $1,244,536 Interest on net OPEB ogligation 30,906 Adjustment to annual required contribution (44,683) Annual OPEB cost (expense) 1,230,759 Employer contributions made* (470,688) Increase in net OPEB obligation 760,071 Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year 772,655 Estimated Net OPEB obligation - end of year $1,532,726 *Actuarially estimated employer contributions for 2009 The Sheriff s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2009 and two preceding years were as follows: Annual Percentage of Net OPEB OPEB Cost OPEB Fiscal year ended Cost Contributed Obligation 9/30/2007 n/a n/a n/a 9/30/2008 $1,190,699 35.11% $772,655 9/30/2009 $1,230,759 38.24% $1,532,726 Funding Policy and Status As of October 1, 2008, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 0% funded. The actuarial accrued liability (AAL) was $11,922,700, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $11,922,700. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB plan) was $43.1 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 27.7%. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required 19

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The OPEB-specific actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation described below are consistent with those used by the FRS actuary and adopted by the FRS. The actuarial methods are: Actuarial cost method Amortization method Amortization period (closed) Asset valuation method Unit Credit actuarial cost method Level dollar 30 years Market value of assets, if any, as of valuation date The actuarial assumptions are: Investment rate of return Healthcare cost trend rate 4.0% compounded annually 8.75% reduced by decrements of 0.25% to 0.50% annually to an ultimate rate of 4.25% after 14 years Risk Management The Sheriff participates in the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust with an annual premium cost for the year ended September 30, 2009 of approximately $1,822,000. Coverage limits under the policy include $1,000,000 bodily injury for each accident and $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease for each employee with a $1,000,000 limit. The plan calls for an annual final premium calculation after fiscal year end using the actual premium basis, proper classifications, and experience modifications and rates that lawfully apply to the Sheriff. A final premium adjustment has not been calculated for the year ended September 30, 2009. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Sheriff had no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year. In addition, there have been no settlements which exceeded the Sheriff s insurance coverage in any of the three past fiscal years. 20

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Long-Term Debt Compensated Absences As required by Chapter 10.557(3)(g), Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, disclosures regarding long-term liabilities area as follows: Balance 10/01/08 $16,594,932 Additions 2,680,272 Deletions (1,625,651) Balance 09/30/09 17,649,553 Less current portion (2,432,622) Long term balance $15,216,931 Significant Commitments The Sheriff contracted with a vendor under a cancelable agreement to provide for the delivery of medical care to individuals under the custody and control of the Sheriff. The agreement expired September 2009, and was not renewed by the Sheriff. Under the agreement, the Sheriff paid a base price plus a per inmate day fee for those inmates assigned to the Work Camp. Financial considerations were based on estimated inmate populations and were subject to adjustment. Medical service expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $5 million. The Sheriff entered into a cancelable agreement with a vendor to provide management services, food, materials, and supplies necessary to feed the inmate population at the corrections facility and the Escambia County Jail, through February 28, 2010. Upon mutual agreement, the agreement may be renewed for two one-year periods and each year thereafter. Food service expense under this contract for the year ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.9 million. Internal Service Fund The Internal Service Fund, established in 2004, is designed to record the annual costs related to the Sheriff s Compensated Absences Policies, to record the short-term and long-term components of such liabilities (including payments to employees), and to collect and hold cash and investments necessary to liquidate such liabilities. The related costs associated with the fund will be recovered via charges to the general fund and other funds having employees, in accordance with generally accepted criteria for establishment and use of an internal service fund. During 2009, the fund s accumulated deficit increased by approximately $1.45 million. Management plans to eliminate the $15.2 million accumulated deficit over a reasonable period of time. NOTE 4 CLAIMS AND CONTINGENCIES The Sheriff is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary course of operations. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits or claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Sheriff. The Sheriff receives significant financial assistance from federal and state agencies primarily in the form of operating grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by grantor agencies. Disallowed claims, if any, resulting from such audits may become liabilities of the Sheriff. 21

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SHERIFF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 During 2009, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the US Department of Homeland Security concluded its review of funding provided to the Sheriff from FEMA relating to Hurricane Ivan and recommended that approximately $2.1 million of the $6.6 million awarded to the Sheriff should be disallowed. At September 30, 2009, the Sheriff has reported on its balance sheet a due to other governmental units of approximately $2.1 million, however, the Sheriff is appealing the OIG s recommendations and a final resolution has not yet been reached. NOTE 5 FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE During the year, the Sheriff received, or maintained assets to be used for, federal and state financial assistance under the following programs: United States Treasury Department Law Enforcement Trust United States Justice Department Law Enforcement Trust JAG Federal and State Grants VCDC Grants Safe Neighborhood Grant BPV Grant FBI Task Force Operation Falcon Disaster Recovery Fund Hurricane Ivan These programs are presented in the schedules of federal and state financial assistance within the Escambia County financial report.

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT TAX COLLECTOR NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Office of the Tax Collector of Escambia County, Florida (the Tax Collector ), is established as a constitutional official by Article VIII, Section 1 (d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The accounting policies of the Tax Collector conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to local governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. PRINCIPLES USED IN DETERMINING THE SCOPE OF ENTITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES Although the Tax Collector is operationally autonomous from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, it does not hold sufficient corporate powers of its own to be considered a legally separate entity for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the Tax Collector is reported as a part of the primary government of Escambia County, Florida. These special-purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Escambia County, Florida taken as a whole. As permitted by Chapter 10.556(4), Rules of the Auditor General State of Florida, the special-purpose financial statements consists of only the fund level financial statements as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, and do not include presentations of government-wide statements of the Tax Collector. BASIS OF PRESENTATION FUND ACCOUNTING The Tax Collector s financial records and accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting, whereby resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds to insure compliance with any special restrictions or limitations on the use of such resources. The funds used are defined as follows: Governmental Funds General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the Tax Collector. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds. Fiduciary Funds Agency Funds Agency funds are used to account for assets held for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of the results of operations. 6

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT TAX COLLECTOR NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The general fund is accounted for using the current resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual that is when they are both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. The Tax Collector considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. However, expenditures for compensated absences are recognized when payments are made to employees. Fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The Tax Collector operates under budget procedures pursuant to Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. COMPENSATED ABSENCES Employees may accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused paid time off (PTO) and compensatory time, which will be paid upon separation from service. These expenditures are not recognized in the general fund until payments are made to employees. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE The Tax Collector has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between September 30, 2009 and December 22, 2009, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. NOTE 2 SPECIAL REPORTING TREATMENTS Commissions earned from the Board of County Commissioners are recorded as transfers in on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (GAAP Basis) and Actual. In accordance with Florida Statutes, the excess revenues over expenditures is returned to the Board of County Commissioners at year end and is reported as a transfer out on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (GAAP Basis) and Actual. 7

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT TAX COLLECTOR NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Capital assets (vehicles, equipment and other tangible property costing at least $1,000 with a useful life of more than one year) are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. These assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated in Escambia County s government-wide financial statements. ASSETS NOTE 3 DETAILED NOTES Cash Deposits The investment of surplus funds is governed by the provisions of Florida Statute 218.415 as to the type of investments that can be made. Deposits may be exposed to custodial credit risk, which is the risk of loss in the event of a bank failure. The Tax Collector manages custodial credit risk by maintaining its deposits in a financial institution designated as a Qualified Public Depository by the State Treasurer. All deposits were fully insured through a combination of Federal depository insurance and participation of the financial institution in the multiple financial institution collateral pool as specified in Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, risk of loss due to bank failure is not significant. At September 30, 2009, the reported amount of the Tax Collector s deposits was $10,255,202, and the bank balance was $10,249,484, consisting entirely of deposits in checking and savings accounts. LIABILITIES Pension and Retirement Plan - Substantially all full-time employees of the Tax Collector are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The FRS issues a financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements vary depending on membership class. Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and years-ofservice credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the 8

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT TAX COLLECTOR NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program available for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. The Tax Collector s contributions to the Pension Plan, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, were equal to the actuarially determined contributions for each year. Contributions to the Investment Plan were equal to the legislature-mandated contribution rates, which are equal to a percentage of the members gross monthly salary based on the members membership class. Contributions to both plans totaled $373,338, $386,881, and $376,821, for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (OPEB) PLAN The Tax Collector participates in the health insurance plan offered to employees of the Board of County Commissioners and other County Elected Officials (the Board plan). Additionally, retirees and eligible dependants have the option of continuing in the Board plan at the same group rate as for active employees. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year end 2008 the Board of County Commissioners engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment health insurance benefits as of September 30, 2008 for all participants of the Board plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuarial report for 2009. Costs attributed to the Tax Collector have been allocated based on the Tax Collector s payroll compared to total payroll of all participants in the Board plan. The Tax Collector s Annual Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Cost for fiscal year 2009 was $170,721, and employer contributions included in Personal Services expenditures in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance were $64,527. The net OPEB obligation of the Tax Collector was $199,194, and the Unfunded Actual Accrued Liability, which is being amortized over a 30 year period as part of the Annual Required Contribution (ARC), was $1,697,465. Because these financial statements focus on current financial resources, they do not include the net OPEB obligation or any other long-term liability. A full presentation of the OPEB liabilities, funding status, and actuarial methods and assumptions is included in the 2009 Board of County Commissioners Annual Financial Report. 9

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Office of the Supervisor of Elections (the Supervisor of Elections ) of Escambia County, Florida, is established as a constitutional official by Article VIII, Section 1 (d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The accounting policies of the Supervisor of Elections conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to local governments. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. REPORTING ENTITY Although the Supervisor of Elections is operationally autonomous from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, it does not hold sufficient corporate powers of its own to be considered a legally separate entity for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the Supervisor of Elections is reported as a part of the primary government of Escambia County, Florida. These special-purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Escambia County, Florida taken as a whole. As permitted by Chapter 10.556(4), Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, the special-purpose financial statements consists of only the fund level financial statements as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, and do not include presentations of government-wide financial statements of the Supervisor of Elections. FUND ACCOUNTING The Supervisor of Elections financial records and accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting, whereby resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds to insure compliance with any special restrictions or limitations on the use of such resources. The Supervisor of Elections general fund (a governmental fund type) is the sole operating fund of the Supervisor of Elections. No additional funds are required to be maintained. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The general fund is accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual that is when they are both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. The Supervisor of Elections considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. However, expenditures for compensated absences are recognized when payments are made to employees. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The Supervisor of Elections operates under budget procedures pursuant to Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. 4

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPENSATED ABSENCES Employees may accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused sick leave, annual leave, and compensatory time, which will be paid upon separation from service. These expenditures are not recognized in the general fund until payments are made to employees. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE The Supervisor of Elections has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between September 30, 2009 and February 2, 2010, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. NOTE 2 SPECIAL REPORTING TREATMENTS Appropriations from the Board of County Commissioners are recorded as transfers in on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (GAAP Basis) and Actual. Capital assets (vehicles, equipment and other tangible property costing at least $1,000 with a useful life of more than one year) are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. These assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated in Escambia County s government-wide financial statements. The Supervisor of Elections does not maintain a separate cash account. Rather, the Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, serving as the accountant for the Supervisor of Elections, records all cash activity using a common cash account of the Board of County Commissioners. The Due from other governments reflected on the Supervisor of Elections balance sheet, represents the amount of cash held by the Board of County Commissioners on behalf of the Supervisor of Elections. Deferred revenues reflect grant amounts collected before revenue recognition criteria are met. PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT PLAN NOTE 3 DETAILED NOTES Substantially all full-time employees of the Supervisor of Elections are covered by the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The FRS was established in 1970 by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Changes to the FRS can be made only by an act of the Florida Legislature. Rules governing the operation and administration of the system may be found in Chapter 60S of the Florida Administrative Code. The FRS issues a financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to FRS, 2639-C North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1560. The FRS offers two retirement plans the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. An employee may participate in only one of the plans. The FRS Pension Plan is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan which provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at age 62 with 6 or more 5

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 years of service, or to those employees who have at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Retirement age and years of service requirements vary depending on membership class. Early retirement is available after 6 years of service with a 5% reduction of benefits for each year prior to the normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based upon age, average compensation and years-ofservice credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual s five highest years of earnings. The FRS Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan in which participants are vested after one year of service. The employer makes contributions each month based on a percentage of the employee s gross salary and membership class. The contribution percentage is the same whether participating in the Pension Plan or Investment Plan. Members in the Investment Plan decide how their funds are allocated between various investment accounts and the funds are portable upon termination if the participant is vested. Members in the Investment Plan are not eligible for participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an elective program for members of the FRS who are eligible for normal retirement. Under this program, a member effectively retires and continues covered employment for up to 5 years. While in DROP, the member s deferred monthly retirement benefits accumulate, earning interest and cost-of-living increases. When the DROP period is over, the participant terminates covered employment and begins receiving his/her predetermined monthly retirement benefit, as well as the accrued DROP benefit. Disability retirees are not eligible to participate in DROP and DROP participants do not qualify for disability retirement. The plans are noncontributory for employees and all contributions are made by participating FRS employers. Participating employer contributions are based upon state-wide rates established by the State of Florida. Average contribution rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows: regular employees, 9.85%, special risk employees, 20.92%, elected officials, 16.53%, senior management employees, 13.12%, and DROP participants, 10.91%. The Supervisor of Elections contributions to the Pension Plan, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, were equal to the actuarially determined contributions for each year. Contributions to the Investment Plan were equal to the legislature-mandated contribution rates, which are equal to a percentage of the members gross monthly salary based on the members membership class. Contributions to both plans totaled $87,784, $87,716, and $92,987, for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (OPEB) PLAN The Supervisor of Elections participates in the health insurance plan offered to employees of the Board of County Commissioners and other County Elected Officials (the Board plan). Additionally, retirees and eligible dependants have the option of continuing in the Board plan at the same group rate as for active employees. In conjunction with the implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 during fiscal year end 2008, the Board of County Commissioners engaged an actuarial firm to determine the estimated obligation associated with the post employment health insurance benefits as of September 30, 2008 for all participants of the Board plan. The actuary, using the same data and assumptions provided in 2008, updated the actuarial report for 2009. Costs attributed to the Supervisor of Elections have been allocated based on the Supervisor of Elections payroll compared to total payroll of all participants in the Board plan. The Supervisor of Elections Annual Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Cost for fiscal year 2009 was $41,291, and employer contributions included in Personal Services expenditures in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance were $15,606. The net OPEB obligation of the 6

Because these financial statements focus on current financial resources, they do not include the net OPEB obligation or any other long-term liability. A full presentation of the OPEB liabilities, funding status, and actuarial methods and assumptions is included in the 2009 Board of County Commissioners Annual Financial Report. Following are the components of the Supervisor of Elections net OPEB obligation at September 30, 2009: Normal Cost $18,009 Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) 23,742 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) 41,751 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) 41,751 Interest on Net OPEB Obligation 1,034 Adjustment to ARC (1,494) Annual OPEB Cost 41,291 Estimated Employer Contributions Made (15,606) Increase in net OPEB Obligation 25,685 Net OPEB Obligation, October 1, 2008 24,000 Net OPEB Obligation, September 30, 2009 $49,685 LONG-TERM LIABILITIES As required by Chapter 10.557(3)(g), Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, disclosures regarding long-term liabilities are as follows: Compensated Absences Balance 10/01/08 $196,714 Increases 127,100 Decreases (140,030) Balance 09/30/09 $183,784 RISK MANAGEMENT The County has a risk management program to insure claims against the Board of County Commissioners, Constitutional Officers, and Santa Rosa Island Authority for the following types of risks: Workers Compensation The County is covered for workers compensation claims through a policy with the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust. Coverage limits under the policy include statutory limits, as well as $1,000,000 bodily injury for each accident and $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease for each employee with an aggregate $1,000,000 policy limit. Prior to June 9, 2008, the County was self-insured up to a limit of $450,000 per occurrence with statutory limits. 7

ANNUAL AUDIT REPORT SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Casualty and Property Casualty limits are self-insured for $100,000 per claim with a $200,000 aggregate limit. Property limits are $50,000 - $250,000 self insured retentions per occurrence with excess limits of $500 million, $410 million excluding wind and $90 million including wind. The Supervisor of Elections participated in the County s insurance program during fiscal year 2009 at a cost of $5,223. There have been no settlements which exceeded the Supervisor of Elections insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Supervisor of Elections received significant financial assistance from federal and state agencies primarily in the form of capital and operating grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and are subject to audit by grantor agencies. Disallowed claims, if any, resulting from such audits may become liabilities of the Supervisor of Elections. However, in the opinion of management, disallowed claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the financial statements. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2009 the Board of County Commissioners purchased capital assets totaling approximately $41,000 on behalf of the Supervisor of Elections. These purchases are included in the Board of County Commissioners expenditures. 8
