INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Supervisors Ranger Drainage District Orlando, Florida

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of Ranger Drainage District, Orlando, Florida (the “District”) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’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.

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 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 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.

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 and the major fund of the District as of September 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information and the schedule of funding progress 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 District’s basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is 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 May 31, 2016, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements We have also issued our report dated May 31, 2016, on our consideration of the District’s compliance with the requirements of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, as required by Rule 10.556(10) of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. The purpose of that report is to provide an opinion based on our examination conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of Ranger Drainage District, Orlando, Florida (“District”) provides a narrative overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s Independent Auditor’s Report, basic financial statements, accompanying notes and supplementary information to the basic financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year resulting in a net position balance of $6,848,205.

The change in the District’s total net position in comparison with the prior fiscal year was $1,905,822,

an increase. The key components of the District’s net position and change in net position are reflected in the table in the following section.

At September 30, 2015, the District’s governmental fund reported ending fund balance of $535,628, a

decrease of ($549,734) in comparison with the prior fiscal year. A portion of fund balance is restricted for debt service and capital projects and the remainder is unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the District’s discretion.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as the introduction to the District’s basic financial statements. The District’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 District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the residual amount 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 District is improving or deteriorating. 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. The government-wide financial statements include all governmental activities that are principally supported by property taxes. The District does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activities of the District include the general government (management) and maintenance functions. 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 District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The District has one fund category: governmental funds.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 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 outflow 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 a 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 District’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. The District maintains one governmental fund for external reporting. Information is presented in the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, which is considered a major fund. The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. 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. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Key components of the District’s net position are reflected in the following table:

2015 2014Current and other assets 1,040,083$ 1,452,054$ Capital assets, net of depreciation 7,633,453 5,329,970

Total assets 8,673,536 6,782,024 Current liabilities 410,365 296,859 Long-term liabilities 1,414,966 1,542,782

Total liabilities 1,825,331 1,839,641 Net position

Net investment in capital assets 6,269,912 3,838,875 Restricted 76,045 686,151 Unrestricted 502,248 417,357

Total net position 6,848,205$ 4,942,383$

SEPTEMBER 30,NET POSITION

The District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, land improvements, and infrastructure); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in 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.

5

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Continued) The restricted portion of the District’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 District’s other obligations.

The District’s net position increased during the most recent fiscal year. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in grant revenues for the Hazard Mitigation Grant. Key elements of the change in net position are reflected in the following table:

2015 2014Revenues:Program revenues

Charges for services 143,173$ 121,068$ Capital grants and contributions 1,820,263 550,422

General revenuesProperty taxes 1,439,500 1,424,644 Unrestricted investment earnings 28,640 7,410 Gain on sale of capital assets 39,000 - Total revenues 3,470,576 2,103,544

Expenses: General government 876,732 690,048 Maintenance and operations 649,954 720,783 Interest 38,068 33,948

Total expenses 1,564,754 1,444,779 Change in net position 1,905,822 658,765

Net position - beginning 4,942,383 4,283,618 Net position - ending 6,848,205$ 4,942,383$

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,CHANGES IN NET POSITION

As noted above and in the statement of activities, the cost of all governmental activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 was $1,564,754. The costs of the District’s activities were primarily funded by program revenues. Program revenues, increased during the fiscal year, mainly as a result of an increase in grant revenues related to the Hazard Mitigation project that was completed in fiscal year 2015. In total, expenses increased from the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in general government costs in fiscal year 2015. GENERAL BUDGETING HIGHLIGHTS An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The budget was amended by increasing revenues by $1,820,263, appropriations by $2,535,600 and use of fund balance by $715,337. Actual general fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 exceeded appropriations by $47,867 as a result of a capital lease obtained in the current year. The over expenditures were funded by available fund balance. The variance between budgeted and actual general fund revenues for the current fiscal year is the result of more permit revenues being earned than expected.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets At September 30, 2015, the District had $9,751,179 invested in land, infrastructure, building and equipment. In the government-wide financial statements depreciation of $2,117,726 has been taken, which resulted in a net book value of $7,633,453. More detailed information about the District’s capital assets is presented in the notes of the financial statements. Capital Debt At September 30, 2015, the District had a $1,165,000 Note payable outstanding and $198,541 in capital leases outstanding for its governmental activities. More detailed information about the District’s capital debt is presented in the notes of the financial statements. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND OTHER EVENTS For the subsequent fiscal year, the District anticipates operation costs to remain fairly consistent and no revenues related to grant funds. CONTACTING THE DISTRICT’S FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT This financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, land owners, customers, investors and creditors with a general overview of the District’s finances and to demonstrate the District’s accountability for the financial resources it manages and the stewardship of the facilities it maintains.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING ENTITY Ranger Drainage District ("District") was created in 1970 by Circuit Court Order Number 69-2558, Laws of Florida, under the provisions of Chapter 298, Florida Statutes. The District was established for the purposes of constructing and maintaining systems of drainage and flood control within the District in east Orange County, Florida. The District is governed by the Board of Supervisors ("Board"), which is composed of three members. The Supervisors are elected by the owners of the property within the District. The Board of Supervisors exercise all powers granted to the District pursuant to Chapter 298.36, Florida Statutes. The Board has the responsibility for: 1. Assessing and levying taxes. 2. Approving budgets. 3. Exercising control over facilities and properties. 4. Controlling the use of funds generated by the District. 5. Approving the hiring and firing of key personnel. 6. Financing improvements. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statements. Under the provisions of those standards, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, organizations for which the District is considered to be financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that, if excluded, the financial statements of the District would be considered incomplete or misleading. There are no entities considered to be component units of the District; therefore, the financial statements include only the operations of the District. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. 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 who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment (operating-type special assessments for maintenance and debt service are treated as charges for services) and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide 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. Assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are to be recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

14

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) 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 government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. For grant revenue, amounts are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. Property Taxes Property taxes are ad-valorem and levied each November 1 on property as of the previous January 1 to pay for the operations and maintenance of the District. The fiscal year for which annual taxes are levied begins on October 1 with discounts available for payments through February 28 and become delinquent on April 1. The District’s annual taxes are billed and collected by the County Tax Assessor/Collector. The amounts remitted to the District are net of applicable discounts or fees and include interest on monies held from the day of collection to the day of distribution. The District reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources first for qualifying expenditures, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity Restricted Assets These assets represent cash and investments set aside pursuant to debt covenants or other contractual restrictions. Deposits and Investments The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing). The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 (17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following:

a) The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act;

b) Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;

c) Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.

Securities listed in paragraph c and d shall be invested to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. In addition, surplus funds may be deposited into certificates of deposit which are insured and any unspent Note proceeds are required to be held in investments as specified in the Note document. The District records all interest revenue related to investment activities in the respective funds and reports investments at fair value.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, fences, canals and dikes and similar items) are reported in the government activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. 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. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Property, infrastructure and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset Years

Building 40 Drainage improvements 15 Equipment, furniture and f ixtures 5-7 Leased equipment 7-10

In the governmental fund financial statements, amounts incurred for the acquisition of capital assets are reported as fund expenditures. Depreciation expense is not reported in the governmental fund financial statements. Compensated Absences It is the District’s policy to permit employees to accumulate, within certain limits, earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the government does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from service with the government. Compensated absences are reported as accrued in the government-wide financial statements. Governmental funds report only matured compensated absences payable for example if employees resign or are terminated. Unearned Revenue Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned. Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Note premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the Notes. Notes payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts. Issuance costs are reported as an expense in the year incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as 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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to future reporting period(s). For example, the District would record deferred outflows of resources on the statement of net position related to debit amounts resulting from current and advance refundings resulting in the defeasance of debt (i.e. when there are differences between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt). Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to future reporting period(s). For example, when an asset is recorded in the governmental fund financial statements, but the revenue is unavailable, the District reports a deferred inflow of resources on the balance sheet until such times as the revenue becomes available. Fund Equity/Net Position In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. The District can establish limitations on the use of fund balance as follows:

Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category. Assigned fund balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed. The Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover differences in estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Assignments are generally temporary and normally the same formal action need not be taken to remove the assignment.

The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. Net position is the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position in the government-wide financial statements are categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets represents net position related to infrastructure and property, plant and equipment. Restricted net position represents the assets restricted by the District’s Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. Unrestricted net position consists of the net position not meeting the definition of either of the other two components. Other Disclosures Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

17

NOTE 3 – BUDGETARY INFORMATION The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. a) Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal

year commencing the following October 1. b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments. c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board. d) All budget changes must be approved by the District Board. e) The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. f) Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS

The District’s cash balances were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or by a collateral pool pledged to the State Treasurer. Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act", requires all qualified depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to various percentages of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally, U.S. Governmental and agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository's financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses.

NOTE 7– CAPITAL LEASES

In November 2013 and August 2015, the District entered into leases with options to purchase equipment. The lease agreements qualified as capital leases for accounting purposes and, therefore, have been recorded at present value of their future minimum lease payments as of the inception date. The assets acquired through capital leases are as follows:


Asset: Machinery and Equipment 285,096$ Less: Accumulated depreciation (42,272)

Total 242,824$

NOTE 8 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The District offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457 which is administered by North Western Mutual. The plan is available to full-time employees meeting minimum age, compensation, and length of service requirements. During the current fiscal year, the District contributed $24,617 to the plan.

NOTE 9 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)

Plan Description The District administers an employee group medical insurance plan that provides medical insurance benefits to its employees. In accordance with Section 112.081 of the Florida Statutes, because the District provides a medical plan to active employees, the District must also provide retirees with the opportunity to participate in this Plan. Benefit provisions are established and may be amended by the Board of Supervisors. Funding Policy The District does not directly make a contribution to the plan on behalf of retirees. Retirees and their covered dependents pay the same group rate as is charged to the District for active employees by its healthcare provider. However, the actuary, in their actuarial valuation, calculates an offset to the cost of these benefits as an Employer Contribution, based upon an implicit rate subsidy. This offset equals the total age based costs paid by the District or its active employees for coverage of the retirees and their dependents for the year net of the retiree’s own payments for the year. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The actuarial valuation of the calculation of OPEB involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events in the future. 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 to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The required schedule of funding progress presented as required supplementary information is designed to provide multi-year trend information to show whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. However, the District has not contributed assets to the plan at this time and has elected to fund the plan on a pay-as-you go method. Projections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits in force at the valuation date and the pattern of sharing benefit costs between the District and the plan members to that point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and employ methods and assumptions that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.

20

NOTE 9 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued) Actuarial Methods and Assumptions (Continued) Significant methods and assumptions were as follows:

Valuation date October 1, 2014

Actuarial cost method Projected unit creditAmortization method for unfunded actuarial liability Level dollar, openAmortization period 15 YearsActuarial assumptions:

Investment rate of return 4% (includes inflation at 2.75%Health Care inflation:

Select rates 7% (grading down to 5.5% in 2018)Ultimate rate 5.0% per annum

The annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The annual required contribution 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 over a period not to exceed twenty years.

The annual OPEB Cost for the District for the current fiscal year and the related information is as follows:

Annual Required Contribution ("ARC") 8,000$ Interest on Net Pension Obligation ("NPO") 1,000Adjustment to ARC (2,000)

NOTE 10 – LINE OF CREDIT The District entered into another line of credit with SunTrust Bank for $750,000 with a maturity of July 1, 2015. The line of credit was obtained to provide working capital for improvements made under the FEMA grant until such monies were collected from the Federal Government. On June 29, 2015, the line of credit was extended to June 27, 2016. Draws of $300,000 were made on the line of credit during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Subsequent to year end the outstanding balance of $300,000 was repaid. NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Grants Grant monies received and disbursed by the District are for specific purposes and may be subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursements due to disallowed expenditures or other actions by grantor agencies. The District does not believe that such disallowances or other actions taken by the grantor agencies, if any, would have a material effect on the financial position of the District. County Road Damage During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, Orange County notified the District that one of the District's contractors had damaged a County road during the Unit 11A construction. The District has paid the contractor in full for the construction contract. The county has made the repairs and they costed approximately $200,000. The District has filed a lawsuit against the contractor, the contractor's sub-contractor, and the contractor's bonding company. As of May 31, 2016, the lawsuit is pending. No liability has been recorded by the District at September 30, 2015 related to this matter.

NOTE 12 – HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT

In June 2013, the District requested and was granted additional funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant program. The District received an additional $2,306,728 to alleviate flooding for the following areas within the District; Abalone Boulevard, Golf Course, Secondary Drainage Replacements, Lake 11A, and Major Structure for Canal 1 and 2. The projects related to the grant were completed during fiscal year 2015. During the current fiscal year, $1,820,263 of Federal funds has been expended for all projects listed above. At September 30, 2015, there is a receivable of $578,559 due from the State which is comprised completely of the final reimbursement request under the grant.

NOTE 13 – RISK MANAGEMENT The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The District has obtained commercial insurance from independent third parties to mitigate the costs of these risks; coverage may not extend to all situations. There have been no claims from these risks that exceeded commercial insurance coverage over the past three years.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget for the general fund. The District’s budgeting process is based on estimates of cash receipts and cash expenditures which are approved by the Board. The budget approximates a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles). The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The budget was amended by increasing revenues by $1,820,263, appropriations by $2,535,600 and use of fund balance by $715,337. Actual general fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 exceeded appropriations by $47,867 as a result of a capital lease obtained in the current year. The over expenditures were funded by available fund balance. The variance between budgeted and actual general fund revenues for the current fiscal year is the result of more permit revenues being earned than expected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIALREPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT

OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITHGOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of Supervisors Ranger Drainage District Orlando, Florida We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of Ranger Drainage District, Orlando, Florida (“District”) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued our opinion thereon dated May 31, 2016.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other MattersAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

26

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAMAND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133

To the Board of Supervisors Ranger Drainage District Orlando, Florida

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited the Ranger Drainage District, Florida’s (the “District”) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the District’s major federal programs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The District’s major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the District’s major federal program based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the District’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the District’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance

Management of the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the District’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over compliance.

28

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
