FAX 630.393.2516 July 18, 2017 Members of the Board of Commissioners Lan-Oak Park District Lansing, Illinois We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Lan-Oak Park District, Illinois, as of and for the year ended, and the related notes to the hnancial statements, which collectively comprise the Village'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 intemal control relevantto the preparation and fairpresentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or enor. 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. 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 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 Village'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 Village's intemal 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Lan-Oak Park District, Illinois, as of April 30,2017, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Lan-Oak Park District, Illinois July 18, 2017 Page 2 Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents and budgetary information reported in the required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not 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 Lan-Oak Park District, Illinois, basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules, and supplemental schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and supplemental schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 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, the combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Management s Discussion and Analysis Our discussion and analysis of the Lan-Oak Park District s financial performance provides an overview of the Lan-Oak Park District s financial activities for the fiscal year ended. Please read it in conjunction with the financial statements, which begin on page 3. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS During the year, government-wide revenues totaled $2,379,891, while expenses totaled $2,210,474, resulting in an increase net position of $169,417. Net position totaled $6,559,275 on, which includes $3,814,215 net investment in capital assets, $584,834 subject to external restrictions, and $2,160,226 unrestricted that may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Property tax revenue for fiscal year 2016-2017 was $1,669,832 compared to the prior year of $1,681,096 for a decrease of $11,264. Long term debt on general obligation bonds decreased by $148,370 to a total of $3,127,990. The District continued significant spending on capital projects during the year to a total of $315,409. The District s rating through Moody s Investors Service was upgraded from A2 to A1 with Moody s citing the District s strong operating results, increasing fund balances and liquidity as the primary contributing factors. USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities (on pages 3-5) provide information about the activities of the Lan-Oak Park District as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Lan-Oak Park District s finances. Fund financial statements begin on page 6. For governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Lan-Oak Park District s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the Park District s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide financial information for the purpose of additional analysis. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements provide readers with a broad overview of the Lan-Oak Park District s finances, in a matter similar to a private-sector business. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 3-5 of this report. MD&A 1

Management s Discussion and Analysis USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT Continued Government-Wide Financial Statements Continued The Statement of Net Position reports information on all of the Lan-Oak Park District s assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows, with the difference between the two 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 Lan-Oak Park District is improving or deteriorating. Consideration of other nonfinancial factors, such as changes in the Lan-Oak Park District s property tax base and the condition of the Lan-Oak Park District s infrastructure, is needed to assess the overall health of the Lan-Oak Park District. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government s net position changed during the most recent fiscal 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 fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned and unused vacation leave). 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 Lan-Oak Park District, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, however, the Lan-Oak Park District only uses governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, 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 fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the Lan-Oak Park District 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 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 the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. MD&A 2

Management s Discussion and Analysis USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT Continued Government-Wide Financial Statements Continued The Lan-Oak Park District maintains eleven individual governmental funds. These funds are further organized as major or non-major funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the major funds, which are the General Fund, Recreation Fund, Special Recreation Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. Data from the other six governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The Lan-Oak Park District adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of the governmental funds. A budgetary comparison schedule for these funds has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 6-11 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 12-35 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 Lan-Oak Park District s I.M.R.F. employee pension obligation, and budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and major special revenue funds. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 36-40 of this report. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds is presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 41-53 of this report. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Net positon may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government s financial position. The following tables show that in the case of the Lan-Oak Park District, assets/deferred outflows exceeded liabilities/deferred inflows by $6,559,275. MD&A 3

Management s Discussion and Analysis GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Continued Governmental Activities Total Change 2016 2017 $ % Current and other assets $ 3,940,679 $ 4,067,868 $ 127,189 3.2% Capital assets 7,061,676 7,016,972 (44,704) -0.6% Total assets 11,002,355 11,084,840 82,485 2.6% Deferred outflows 146,601 159,076 12,475 100.0% Total assets & deferred outflows 11,148,956 11,243,916 94,960 0.9% Long-term debt outstanding 2,935,523 2,840,625 (94,898) -3.2% Other liabilities 894,685 922,859 28,174 3.1% Total liabilities 3,830,208 3,763,484 (66,724) -0.1% Deferred inflows 928,890 921,157 (7,733) -0.8% Total liabilities & deferred inflows 4,759,098 4,684,641 (74,457) -1.6% Net position Net investment in capital assets 3,706,151 3,814,215 108,064 2.9% Restricted 553,724 584,834 31,110 5.6% Unrestricted 2,129,983 2,160,226 30,243 1.4% Total net position $ 6,389,858 $ 6,559,275 $ 169,417 2.7% A large portion of the Lan-Oak Park District s net position, $3,814,215 or 58.1 percent reflects its investment in capital assets (for example, land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District 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. An additional portion, $584,834, or 8.9 percent of the Lan-Oak Park District s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining 32.9 percent, or $2,160,226, represents unrestricted net position and may be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints. MD&A 4

Management s Discussion and Analysis GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Continued Capital asset additions during the current fiscal year of $315,409 combined with depreciation expense of $360,113 resulted in a net decrease in capital assets of $44,704. A summary of asset additions during the year is outlined on page 21 of the notes to the financial statements. Long-term debt outstanding consists of the general obligation bonds. This fiscal year, the District realized a net decrease in long term debt outstanding of $148,370 as a result of the retirement of General Obligation (Alternate Revenue Source) Park Bonds. As usual, an annual general obligation bond was issued to pay existing debt obligations and to fund capital projects or major repairs. Details regarding debt retirement and issuance appears later in this letter and in the notes to the financial statements. Revenues from governmental activities totaled $2,379,891, while the cost of all governmental functions totaled $2,210,474 resulting in an increase to net position of $169,417. Governmental Activities Total Change 2016 2017 $ % Revenues Program revenues Charges for services $ 657,041 $ 640,462 $ (16,579) -2.5% Operating grants & contributions - - - 0.0% General revenues Property taxes 1,681,096 1,669,832 (11,264) -0.7% Other taxes 39,469 43,843 4,374 11.1% Other 135,421 25,754 (109,667) -81.0% Total revenues 2,513,027 2,379,891 (133,136) -5.3% Expenses Recreation 2,222,050 2,104,911 (117,139) -5.3% Interest on long-term debt 112,823 105,563 (7,260) -6.4% Total expenses 2,334,873 2,210,474 (124,399) -5.3% Increase in net position $ 178,154 $ 169,417 $ (8,737) -4.9% The above table reflects a modest decrease in property tax revenue which is the District s major revenue source. Total revenue from governmental activities decreased by 5.3%. However, this decrease is artificially inflated due to the inclusion in other revenue in 2016 of a one-time land sale that generated $100,000 of additional revenue. Absent that amount, governmental activity revenue from 2016 to 2017 decreased $33,136 or less than 1.4%, indicating that overall revenues remained stable. MD&A 5

Management s Discussion and Analysis GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Continued Another major source of revenue for the District is charges for services. Charges for services include recreation program activity fees, fitness center memberships, facility rentals, and daily usage fees. In total they were $16,579 less than the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to two factors. Athletic programming continues to decrease nationwide and has impacted revenue in this area of programming. In fall 2016, the District acted proactively in hiring an athletic supervisor to focus on offering new, innovative athletic programming in order to counteract this trend. Additionally, the District responsibly cancelled its relatively new dance program due to its inability to adequately cover operating expenses. While a slight decrease in program revenue occurred, the significant decrease in expenses should be noted. New District management in the 2016-2017 fiscal year increased its focus on eliminating programs and services not meeting expectations, resulting in a decrease in expenses of 5.3%. While underperforming programs were reduced or eliminated, District committed to promoting other, more popular, areas such as daily walk-in fees, early childhood programs, and camp revenue with all showing dramatic increases in revenue. The fitness center continued, after years of net loss, to report net revenue, increasing its operating profit from the prior year by more than 50%. The increase is primarily credited to a decrease in expenses, increased promotion, and the addition of more popular fitness programming. The center achieved its annual goal of membership in excess of 2000 members, with no decrease in fitness membership from the prior year. In spite of two competing fitness centers within just one mile, the District s membership retention rate exceeded the national average. Overall, the Recreation Fund continued to increase its net position through sound fiscal management, a fresh focus on promotion and retention, and an effort to update programming with innovative offerings. Although the District expected a minor increase in property tax revenue from the previous year, property tax revenue in the current year fell in the recreation fund by $10,748. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS The Lan-Oak Park District did not make any budget amendments during the fiscal year. General Fund actual revenues for the year totaled $616,198, compared to budgeted revenues of $690,400. Revenues were $74,202 or 10.7% under budget. This is due primarily to property taxes being $99,154 under budget. MD&A 6

Management s Discussion and Analysis GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS Continued The General Fund actual expenditures for the year totaled $461,596, compared to budgeted expenditures of $651,096, which is $189,500 or 29.1% under budget. The savings were the result of the following: The timing of completion of capital projects ($102,540) and Savings in maintenance and seasonal wages for a variety of reasons. Turnover in the full time positions as well as understaffing all contributed to this savings. The total savings in maintenance and seasonal payroll was $53,990. The comparison to budget can be viewed on pages 38 and 41. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets The Lan-Oak Park District s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of April 30, 2017 was $7,016,972 net of accumulated depreciation. This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, vehicles and equipment. Capital asset additions during the fiscal year totaled $315,409 as the District progressed with its plan to improve, repair and beatify parks. New District management continued its commitment to improving District parks, park amenities, and buildings. In 2016-2017, five park shelters were renovated, additional amenities were added to one playground, and construction on two new playgrounds was initiated with one being the District s largest, community playground. District management worked diligently toward and succeeded in extracting itself from costly future project commitments made by the previous management team, freeing funds for further investment in park assets. Beautification of the bike path system continued with new signage, a new arched entry from Indiana, and new landscape beds. Park maintenance equipment previously neglected received extensive maintenance and repair, in addition to the purchase of a new truck, new mower, and new supplemental equipment. The fitness center received a new sauna and community residents were entertained with a new Movie-In-The-Park inflatable movie screen for special events. Additional information on the District s capital assets can be found in Note 3 on page 21 of this report. MD&A 7

Management s Discussion and Analysis CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Continued Debt Administration Below is a schedule of total debt outstanding at year end compared to the prior year which shows a $148,370 decrease in debt during the fiscal year.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR S BUDGET AND RATES The District s elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the fiscal-year 2018 budget, including tax rates, and fees that will be charged for its various activities. One of those factors is the economy. The District is faced with a similar economic environment as many of the other local municipalities are faced with, including inflation and unemployment rates. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Lan-Oak Park District s finances, comply with finance related laws and regulations and demonstrate the District s commitment to public accountability.

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Lan-Oak Park District (District) was incorporated in Lansing, Illinois in 1949. The District operates under a Board-Director form of government, providing recreation and other services, which include: recreation programs, park management, capital development and general administration, to the residents within Lansing. REPORTING ENTITY In determining the financial reporting entity, the District complies with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Omnibus an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34, and includes all component units that have a significant operational or financial relationship with the District. Based upon the criteria set forth in the GASB Statement No. 61, there are no component units included in the reporting entity. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Government-Wide Statements The District s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the District as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the District s major funds). The District s recreation and general administrative services are classified as governmental activities. In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, the governmental activities columns are: (a) presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets/deferred outflows and receivables as well as long-term debt/deferred inflows and obligations. The District s net position reported in three parts: net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. The District first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the District s functions (general government, recreation, etc.). These functions are supported by general government revenues (property taxes and charges, etc.). The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, which include 1) changes 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. The net costs (by function) are normally covered by general revenue (property tax, interest income, etc.). The District does not allocate indirect costs. This government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the District as an entity and the change in the District s net position resulting from the current year s activities. 12

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued BASIS OF PRESENTATION Continued Fund Financial Statements The financial transactions of the District are reported in individual funds in the fund financial statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprises its assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. The District s funds are all reported as governmental funds. The emphasis in fund financial statements is on the major funds. GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The District electively added funds, as major funds, which either had debt outstanding or specific community focus. The nonmajor funds are combined in a column in the fund financial statements. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the District or meets the following criteria: Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all funds combined. The various funds are reported by generic classification within the financial statements. The following fund types are used by the District: Governmental Funds The focus of the governmental funds measurement (in the fund statements) is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income. The following is a description of the governmental funds of the District: General fund is the general operating fund of the District. It accounts for all revenues and expenditures of the District which are not accounted for in other funds. The General Fund is a major fund. 13

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued BASIS OF PRESENTATION Continued Fund Financial Statements Continued Governmental Funds Continued Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The District maintains seven special revenue funds. The Recreation Fund, a major fund, is used to account for the operations of the recreation programs offered to residents and maintenance of facilities used therein. Financing is provided by a specific annual property tax levy to the extent user charges are not sufficient to provide such financing. The Special Recreation Fund, also a major fund, is used to account for special recreation programs for the physically and mentally challenged, as well as ADA improvements throughout the District. Financing is provided by a specific annual property tax levy. Debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest. The Debt Service Fund is treated as a major fund. Capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition of capital assets by the District. The Capital Projects Fund is treated as a major fund. Permanent fund is used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the reporting government s programs, that is, for the benefit of the government or its citizenry. The District maintains one nonmajor permanent fund, the Working Cash Fund, which is used to account for the financial resources held by the District to be used for loans for working capital requirement. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied. Measurement Focus On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, governmental activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery), and financial position. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. 14

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Continued Measurement Focus Continued All governmental funds utilize a current financial resources measurement focus. Only current financial assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period. Basis of Accounting In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, governmental activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability/deferred inflow is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets/deferred outflows, and liabilities/deferred inflows resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or within sixty days after year-end. The District recognizes property taxes when they become both measurable and available in accordance with GASB Codification Section P70. A sixty day availability period is used for revenue recognition for all other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures (including capital outlay) are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for general obligation bond principal and interest which are recognized when due. In applying the susceptible to accrual concept under the modified accrual basis, those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, interest revenue, and charges for services. All other revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash. ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY Cash and Investments For purpose of the Statement of Net Position, the District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and cash with fiscal agent. 15

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY Continued Cash and Investments Continued Investments are generally reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. For investments, the District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. All of the District s investments are in 2a7-like investment pools that are measured at the net asset value per share determined by the pool. Interfund Receivables, Payables and Activity Interfund activity is reported as loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Capital Assets Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of more than $1,000, are reported at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair market value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. General capital assets are long-lived assets of the District as a whole. When purchased, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and capitalized. The valuation basis for general capital assets are historical cost, or where historical cost is not available, estimated historical cost based on replacement costs. Depreciation on all assets is computed and recorded using the straight-line method of depreciation over the following estimated useful lives: Land Improvements Building and Building Improvements Machinery and Equipment 20 Years 7-50 Years 5-20 Years 16

Notes to the Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY Continued Compensated Absences The District accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and associated employee-related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, no liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulation rights to receive sick pay benefits. However, a liability is recognized for that portion of accumulated sick leave that is estimated to be taken as terminal leave prior to retirement or resignation. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Deferred outflow/inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense)/inflow of resources (revenue) until that future time. Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as expenses at the time of issuance. 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 financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 17
