ANDREWS HOOPER PAVLIK PLC 5915 EASTMAN AVENUE SUITE 100 MIDLAND, MI 48640 p: 989.835.7721 f: 989.835.1551 www.ahpplc.com Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Commissioners Standish, Michigan We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the, Michigan (County), as of and for the year ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of the Arenac County Road Commission, which represents 86% of the assets, and 92% of the revenues of the aggregate discretely presented component units of the County. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Arenac County Road Commission, is based on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Arenac County, Michigan, as of, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion and analysis, schedules of funding progress and employer contributions, and budgetary comparison information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. 2
The combining nonmajor fund financial statements, Arenac County Drain Commission component unit fund financial statements, Economic Development Corporation component unit fund financial statements, and the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority component unit fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, based on our audit and the procedures performed as described above, the combining nonmajor fund financial statements, Arenac County Drain Commission component unit fund financial statements, Economic Development Corporation component unit fund financial statements, and the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority component unit fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 13, 2017, on our consideration of the s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Midland, Michigan June 13, 2017 3
Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended As management of the, Michigan (County), we offer readers of the County's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the County for the year ended. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in the accompanying basic financial statements. Financial Highlights The net position of the County was $3,954,333 as of. Of this amount, $36,414 is an unrestricted net deficit. The County s total net position decreased by $1,471,558 during 2016. The increase of the County s net pension liability as a result of GASB 68 contributed $904,347 to the decrease of net position. As of the close of the current year, the County s governmental funds (this includes the general fund, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds) reported combined ending fund balances of $1,077,115, an increase of $21,984 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 41% of this total amount, or $439,840, is available for spending at the County s discretion (assigned or unassigned fund balance). At the end of the current year, the general fund had an unassigned fund balance of $439,840, or 9% of total general fund expenditures. Overview of the Financial Statements. This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County s basic financial statements. The County s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the County s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the County s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the County is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the County s net position changed during the most recent year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future periods (e.g., uncollected special assessments and accrued interest expense). 4
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the 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 (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the County include legislative, judicial, general government, public safety, public works, health and welfare, community and economic development, recreation and culture, and other functions. The business-type activities of the County include the various delinquent tax revolving and reversion funds. The County s component units are comprised of the Arenac County Drain Commission, Arenac County Economic Development Corporation, Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, Arenac County Road Commission and the Arenac County Land Bank Authority. These component units are described in the Notes to the Financial Statements under Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The component units are separate and may buy, sell, lease, and mortgage property in their own name and can sue or be sued in their own name. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 13-14 of this report. 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. The County, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the County s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the County 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 between governmental funds and governmental activities. 5
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended The County maintains 30 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, 911 Services Fund, Road Patrol Millage Fund, Senior Citizen Millage Fund, and Housing Commission Fund, each of which is considered to be a major fund. Data from the other 25 governmental funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue funds. Budgetary comparison schedules for each of the major funds have been provided herein to demonstrate compliance with those budgets. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 15-20 of this report. Proprietary funds. The County maintains one type of proprietary fund: enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The County uses enterprise funds to account for its various delinquent tax revolving and reversion fund operations. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund and the County Parks Fund, both of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other proprietary funds are combined in separate single aggregated presentations in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor enterprise funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-23 of this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the County. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the County s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 24 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 27-79 of this report. Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the County's postemployment health benefits schedule of funding progress and employer contributions and the major funds budgetary comparison schedules. 6
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Government-Wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the County s financial position. As the following table demonstrates, the County's net position was $3,984,333 as of. Arenac County s Net Position Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total 2016 2015 2016 2015 2016 2015 Assets Current and other assets $ 3,968,540 $ 3,358,607 $ 2,403,137 $ 2,599,934 $ 6,371,677 $ 5,958,541 Other noncurrent assets 1,537,920 1,467,554 - - 1,537,920 1,467,554 Capital assets, net 1,881,206 2,039,733 1,634,480 1,646,305 3,515,686 3,686,038 Total assets 7,387,666 6,865,894 4,037,617 4,246,239 11,425,383 11,112,133 Deferred outflows of resources - 32,103 - - - 32,103 Liabilities Current liabilities 1,004,431 422,377 320 5,825 1,004,751 428,202 Long-term liabilities 4,537,139 3,733,134 - - 4,537,139 3,733,134 Total liabilities 5,541,570 4,155,511 320 5,825 5,541,890 4,161,336 Deferred inflows of resources 1,899,060 1,527,009 - - 1,899,060 1,527,009 Net position Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 1,881,206 2,039,733 1,634,480 1,646,305 3,515,686 3,686,038 Restricted 505,061 653,739 - - 505,061 653,739 Unrestricted (deficit) (2,439,231) (1,477,995) 2,402,817 2,594,109 (36,414) 1,116,114 Total net position (deficit) $ (52,964) $ 1,215,477 $ 4,037,297 $ 4,240,414 $ 3,984,333 $ 5,455,891 7
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended The portion of the County's net deficit, $36,414 (-1%), is considered unrestricted. An additional portion of net position, $505,061 (13%), represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be spent. The remaining balance of $3,515,686 reflects the County s investment in capital assets (i.e., land, buildings and improvements, vehicles and boats, and equipment and furniture); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the County's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. At, the County reported a net deficit of $52,964 in the governmental activities category of the government-wide Statement of Net Position. This was due to an increase in the actuarial value of the County s pension liability. 8

, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended The County s net position decreased by $1,719,848 during the current year; a $1,512,872 decrease for governmental activities and a $206,976 decrease for business-type activities. Governmental activities. Governmental activities decreased the County s net position by $1,512,872. Key elements of this decrease are as follows: Revenues increased compared to the prior year by $583,334, or 8%. This was primarily a result of an increase in state revenue. Expenses increased compared to the prior year by $2,101,490, or 26%. This was primarily a result of the increase in the actuarial value of the pension liability. Business-type activities. Business-type activities decreased the County s net position by $206,976. Key elements of this decrease are as follows: Revenues increased compared to the prior year by $124,994, or 23%. The increase was a result of higher collection fees, operating grants received, interest on property taxes, and other various fees. Expenses increased compared to the prior year by $83,456, or 33%. The increase was a result of higher fees and charges, as well as the use of operating grants in the County Parks fund. Financial Analysis of the County's Funds As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the County s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the County s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measurement of County s net resources available for spending at the end of the year. As of, the County s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $1,077,115, a decrease of $218,980 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 59% of the ending fund balances is subject to the underlying limitations applicable to the particular special revenue, debt service, or capital projects fund and is not available for new spending because it has already been spent or has been restricted or assigned for various functions/activities. The remaining 41% of the total fund balance amount constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the County s discretion. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the County. At the end of the current year, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $439,840 while total fund balance amounted to $486,840. As a measure of the General Fund s liquidity, it may be useful to compare unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 9% of total General Fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents approximately that same amount. 10
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended The fund balance of the County s General Fund increased by $199,827 during the current year. This increase resulted from the combination of a 1% increase in revenue, a 3% increase in expenditures, and a 95% increase in the net transfers in to the General Fund. The 911 Services Fund had a decrease in fund balance for the current year of $55,054, for an ending deficit of $2,319. This decrease was primarily the result of transfers out and expenditures in excess of property taxes collected. The Road Patrol Millage fund had a decrease in fund balance for the current year of $67,625, for an ending total of $3,972. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of expenditures in the current year. The Senior Citizen Millage fund had an increase in fund balance for the current year of $117, for an ending total of $1,713. This decrease was primarily the result of expenditures in excess of property taxes collected. The Housing Commission fund had a decrease in fund balance for the current year of $52,138, for an ending deficit of $145. This increase was primarily the result of property taxes collected in excess of expenditures. Proprietary funds. The County s proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net position of the Delinquent Tax Revolving fund at the end of the year amounted to $2,205,274 and unrestricted net position of the County Park fund at the end of the year amounted to $9,216. The combined unrestricted net position of the nonmajor enterprise funds were $188,327 at the end of the year. The Delinquent Tax Revolving fund had a decrease in net position for the year of $280,357. The County Parks fund had a decrease in net position for the year of $5,902. The combined increase in net position of the nonmajor enterprise funds was $79,283 for the year. The decreases in the enterprise funds were largely a result of transfers out of the various funds. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Overall during the year, General Fund revenues (revenue and other financing sources) were less than the budgetary estimates by $480,650 or 10%. This was caused primarily by a negative variance with the budget of property taxes and related fees. Expenditures (expenditures and other financing uses) were less than budgetary estimates overall by $50,290 or 1%. This was caused primarily by under spending in most line items. This activity resulted in a decrease in fund balance of $41,140. 11
, Michigan Management s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital assets. The County's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of, amounted to $1,881,206 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, equipment and furniture, and vehicles and boats.
