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 fmancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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 of 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 auditor s 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.

Mayor and City Council City of Gray Page Two 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, 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 discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Gray, Georgia, as of December 31, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance 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 information on pages 4 through 10, the schedule of changes in the City s net pension liability and related ratios on page 49, the schedule of City contributions on page 50, and the notes to the required supplementary information on page 51 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.

The combining nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison schedules, schedule of projects constructed with special sales tax proceeds and the Downtown Development Authority s financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DECEMBER 31, 2017 As management of the City of Gray, Georgia (the City), we offer readers of the City s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the year ended December 31, 2017. Financial Highlights The assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of the City as of December 31, 2017 by $13,104,996. The government s total net position increased by $420,866 for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, total net position consisted of $8,113,458 invested in capital equipment, net of related debt, $763,034 restricted and $4,228,504 unrestricted. As of the close of the current year the City s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,767,902 an increase of $63,464 in comparison with the prior year. o For the year ended December 31, 2017, fund balance for the general fund increased from $3,155,004 to $3,210,304. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City s basic financial statements. The City s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1. government-wide financial statements; 2. fund financial statements; and 3. notes to the basic financial statements. Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference being 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 City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government 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 result in cash flows in future periods. Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from others functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (businesstype activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, judicial, public safety, public works, health and welfare, culture and recreation, and housing and development. The business-type activities of the City includes an water and sewer fund and sanitation fund. 4

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DECEMBER 31, 2017 (CONTINUED) The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 11 and 12 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 City, 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 City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary 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 a government s near-term financing requirements. Because of 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 government s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds 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. The City maintains eight individual governmental funds: the general fund, a hotel/motel tax fund, two SPLOST funds, a law enforcement confiscation fund, a capital improvement fund, a CDBG fund and the perpetual care fund. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for the general fund, hotel/motel tax fund and the law enforcement confiscation fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided to demonstrate compliance with these budgets. The basic governmental funds financial statements can be found on pages 15 through 20 of this report. Proprietary Funds The City maintains two types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses the enterprise fund to account for the activities of the water and sewer fund and the sanitation fund. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21 through 26 of this report. 5

Notes to Financial Statements MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DECEMBER 31, 2017 (CONTINUED) The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government s financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflow of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $13,104,996 at the close of the most recent year. A portion of the City s net position reflects its investment in capital assets, less any related debt outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. As of December 31, 2017 the investment consists of $17,791,976 in assets, with accumulated depreciation of $8,233,262 and outstanding debt of $1,445,256. An additional portion of the City s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City s ongoing obligations. As of December 31, 2017 current liabilities decreased by $476,915 and net position increased by $420,866 compared to December 31, 2016. 6

Governmental Funds The focus of the City s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government s net resources available for spending at the end of the year. As of December 31, 2017 the City s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,767,902. The unassigned fund balance reflects a balance of $3,182,907. A total of $584,995 is restricted or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for restricted purposes. The fund balance of the City s governmental funds increased by $63,464 during the current year. Proprietary Funds The City s proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. 8

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 63,464 Capital Assets Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of these assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation expense in the current period. Total capital outlays 126,576 Total depreciation (244,174) Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions is not available during the current period and therefore is not reported in the funds.

In the Statement of Activities, however, which is presented on the accrual basis, expenses and liabilities are reported regardless of when financial resources are available. In addition, interest on long-term debt is not recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting until due, rather than as it accrues. The adjustments for these items are as follows: Capital leases 182,896 Accrued interest 3,808 Compensated absences (1,247) Net pension liability 57,574 Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions is not available during the current period and therefore is not reported in the funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2017 NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies The City of Gray was incorporated in 1911 under the provision of an Act of the General Assembly of Georgia. The City operates under a mayor-council form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety, highways and streets, sanitation, health and social services, recreation and general administrative services. The accounting policies of the City of Gray conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the City s more significant policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. A. Reporting Entity As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City of Gray, Georgia (primary government) and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, a component unit can be another organization for which the nature and significance of its relationship with a primary government is such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The component unit discussed below is included in the City s reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and financial relationships with the City. In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, as set forth in Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 61 The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14 and 34, the City s relationships with other governments and agencies have been examined. The component unit column in the combined financial statements includes the financial data for the Downtown Development Authority, as of December 31, 2017. The financial information for the component unit is reported in columns separate from the City s financial information to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City. Downtown Development Authority The Downtown Development Authority is a public body, corporate and politic, and was created upon the adoption and approval of the Development Authorities Law of the State of Georgia. The Mayor and City Council appoint all members of the Downtown Development Authority. The Downtown Development Authority is audited along with the primary government financial statements and separate financial statements are not prepared. A joint venture has the following characteristics: 1. It is a legal entity that results from a contractual arrangement. 2. It is owned, operated or governed by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control. 3. Participants retain an ongoing financial interest or an ongoing financial responsibility, 27

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2017 (CONTINUED) Under Georgia law, the City, in conjunction with other cities and counties in the middle Georgia area, is a member of the Middle Georgia Regional Commission (the RC ) and is required to pay annual dues thereto. Membership in a RC is required by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 50-8-34 which provides for the organizational structure of the RC in Georgia. The RC Board membership includes the chief elected official of each county and municipality of the area. OCGA 50-8-39.1 provides that the member governments are liable for any debts or obligations of a RC. Separate financial statements may be obtained from: Middle Georgia Regional Commission 175-C Emery Highway Macon, GA 31217 B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from businesstype activities, which rely to a significant extent on 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. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. 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 in 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. 28
