Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includesthe design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fairpresentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. Weconducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica 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 andperform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free frommaterial misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’spreparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofsignificant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation ofthe financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, therespective financial position of the governmental activities, the business type activities, each majorfund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town, as of September 30, 2016, and therespective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year thenended 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’sdiscussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and pension trend information bepresented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of thebasic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considersit to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in anappropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures tothe required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted inthe United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods ofpreparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responsesto our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit ofthe basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on theinformation because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express anopinion or provide any assurance.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 14, 2017,on our consideration of the Town’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of itscompliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and othermatters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control overfinancial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion oninternal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an auditperformed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town’s internalcontrol over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
3
This discussion and analysis of the Town of Inglis’ financial performance provides an overview of theTown’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. Please read it in conjunctionwith the Town’s financial statements, which follow this section.
OVERVIEW OF THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report contains government wide financial statements that report on the Town’s activitiesas a whole and fund financial statements that report on the Town’s individual funds.
Government wide Financial Statements
The first financial statement is the Statement of Net Position. This statement includes all of the Town’sassets, liabilities, and deferred items using the accrual basis of accounting. Accrual accounting is similarto the accounting used by most private sector companies. All of the current year revenues and expensesare recorded, regardless of when cash is received or paid. Net position – the difference between assets,liabilities, and deferred items – can be used to measure the Town’s financial position.
The second financial statement is the Statement of Activities. This statement is also shown using theaccrual basis of accounting. It shows the increases and decreases in net position during the fiscal year.Over time, the increases or decreases in net position are useful indicators of whether the Town’sfinancial health is improving or deteriorating. However, other non financial factors, such as roadconditions or changes in the tax base, must also be considered when assessing the overall health of theTown.
In these statements the Town’s activities are divided as follows:
Governmental activities – Most of the Town’s basic services are reported here, includingadministration, police and fire services, road and bridge, maintenance, and garbage. Taxes andcharges for services finance most of these activities.
Business type activities – These activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged toexternal parties for good or services. The activities of the water system are reported as a businesstype activity.
Fund Financial Statements
Following the government wide financial statements are the fund financial statements. They providemore detailed information about the Town’s funds.
Governmental funds – The General Fund and Road and Bridge Fund are the Town’s governmentalfunds. These funds are accounted for using modified accrual accounting. Modified accrualaccounting focuses on available cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted tocash. This provides a shorter term view of the governmental funds’ financial position.Reconciliation is provided with these statements, which helps to explain the difference betweenthe fund financial statements and the government wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds – The Water Fund is the Town’s only proprietary fund. Proprietary funds arereported using the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly, there is a correlation between theamounts reported in the fund financial statements and the amounts reported in the governmentwide financial statements.

The Town is a political subdivision of the State of Florida established by Chapter 55 30853, Laws ofFlorida. It is governed by an elected Mayor and Town Commission. As required by generally acceptedaccounting principles, the accompanying financial statements present the Town as a primarygovernment. Component units are entities for which a primary government is considered to befinancially accountable, or entities that would be misleading to exclude.
There are no component units included in the Town’s financial reporting entity.
The Town did not participate in any joint ventures during the fiscal year.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Town have been prepared in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental AccountingStandards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for governmental accounting and financialreporting principles. The more significant of the Town’s accounting policies are hereafter described.
Reporting Model
The Town follows GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussionand Analysis – for State and Local Governments, as amended.
Government wide Financial Statements
The government wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement ofactivities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Town. For the most part, theeffect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, whichnormally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately frombusiness type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees charged to external parties.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given functionare offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specificfunction. Program revenues include: charges for services that are directly related to a given function;and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of aparticular function. Taxes and other revenues not properly included among program revenues arereported instead as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Majorindividual governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financialstatements, but all nonmajor funds are aggregated and displayed in a single column. The governmentalfund financial statements include reconciliations with brief explanations to better identify therelationship between the government wide statements and the statements for the governmental funds.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Town reports the following major governmental fund:
General Fund – the primary operating fund, used to account for and report all activities notaccounted for and reported in another fund.
The Town reports the following major enterprise fund:
Water Fund – to account for the assets, operation and maintenance of the Town owned watersystem.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurementfocus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues arerecorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of thetiming of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar itemsare recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have beenmet.
Governmental funds are accounted for using the current financial resources measurement focus and themodified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable andavailable as net current assets. For this purpose, the Town considers revenues to be available if they arecollected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year.
Intergovernmental revenues constitute the most significant source of revenue considered susceptible toaccrual. In governmental funds, expenditures are generally recognized when the related liability isincurred. However, debt service expenditures, and expenditures related to compensated absences andclaims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Town considers all highly liquid investments with anoriginal maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deposits and Investments
The Town’s cash and equivalents and investments consist of legally authorized demand deposits andcertificates of deposit. The institutions in which these deposits are kept are certified as Qualified PublicDepositories under the Florida Public Deposits Act. Therefore, these balances on deposit atSeptember 30, 2016 are insured or collateralized through the Bureau of Collateral Management, FloridaDepartment of Financial Services.

Operating expenses for enterprisefunds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues andexpenses.
Restricted Net Position
In the accompanying government wide and proprietary funds’ statements of net position, restricted netposition is subject to restrictions beyond the Town’s control. The restriction is either externally imposed(for instance, by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws/regulations of other governments) or isimposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Fund Balance
The Town follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and GovernmentalFund Type Definitions to classify fund balances for governmental funds into specifically definedclassifications. The classifications comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the Townis bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent.
The fund balance classifications specified in GASB Statement No. 54 are as follows:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – Nonspendable fund balances are amounts that cannot be spentbecause they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to bemaintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – Restricted fund balances are restricted when constraints placed on theuse of resources are either: (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws orregulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions orenabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – Committed fund balances are amounts that can only be used for specificpurposes as a result of constraints imposed by formal action of the Town’s highest level of decisionmaking authority, which is an ordinance. Committed amounts cannot be used for any purposeunless the Town removes those constraints by taking the same type of action.
Assigned Fund Balance – Assigned fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the Town’sintent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressedby (a) the commission or (b) a body or official to which the commission has delegated the authorityto assign amounts to be used for specific purposes.
Unassigned Fund Balance – Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the GeneralFund.
The Town’s policy is to expend resources in the following order: restricted, committed, assigned andunassigned.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesrequires management to make various estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 6 – STATE OF FLORIDA PENSION PLANS
Defined Benefit Plans The Town participates in two defined benefit pension plans that are administered by the State of Florida, Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. The plans provide retirement, disability or death benefits to retirees or their designated beneficiaries. Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, establishes the authority for benefit provisions. Changes to the law can only occur through an act of the Florida Legislature. The State of Florida issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the plans. That report is available from the Florida Department of Management Services’ website (www.dms.myflorida.com). The Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension Plan is a cost‐sharing, multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) available for eligible employees. The FRS was established and is administered in accordance with Chapter 121, Florida Statutes. Retirees receive a lifetime pension benefit with joint and survivor payment options. FRS membership is compulsory for employees filling regularly established positions in a state agency, county agency, state university, state college, or district school board, unless restricted from FRS membership under Sections 121.053 or 121.122, Florida Statutes, or allowed to participate in a defined contribution plan in lieu of FRS membership. Participation by cities, municipalities, special districts, charter schools and metropolitan planning organizations is optional.
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Program is a cost‐sharing, multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan established and administered in accordance with Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of the state‐administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs. To be eligible to receive a HIS benefit, a retiree under a state administered retirement system must provide proof of eligible health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare.
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Pension Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the five highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the eight highest fiscal years’ earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total value of all service, which is based on the retirement plan and/or class to which the member belonged when the service credit was earned.
Eligible retirees and beneficiaries receive a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of service credited at retirement multiplied by $5. The minimum payment is $30 and the maximum payment is $150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes.

Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense
In its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016, the Town reported a liability for its proportionate shares of the net pension liabilities. The net pension liabilities were measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liabilities used to calculate the net pension liability were determined by an actuarial valuation dated July 1, 2016. The Town’s proportions of the net pension liabilities were based on the Town’s share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the contributions of all participating entities, actuarially determined.

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability for each of the defined benefit plans, measured as of June 30, 2016, wasdetermined by an actuarial valuation dated July 1, 2016, using the individual entry age normal actuarialcost method and the following significant actuarial assumptions:
Mortality assumptions for both plans were based on the Generational RP 2000 with Projection Scale BB.
For both plans, the actuarial assumptions used in the valuation dated July 1, 2016 were based on theresults of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2013.
The following changes in key actuarial assumptions occurred in 2016:
FRS: The long term expected rate of return and the discount rate used to determine the totalpension liability decreased from 7.65% to 7.60%.
HIS: The municipal bond index rate and the discount rate used to determine the total pensionliability decreased from 3.80% to 2.85%.
The long term expected investment rate of return was not based on historical returns, but instead wasbased on a forward looking capital market economic model. Each asset class assumption is based on aconsistent set of underlying assumptions, and includes an adjustment for the inflation assumption. Forthe FRS Pension Plan, the table below summarizes the consulting actuary’s assumptions based on thelong term target asset allocation. The reduced investment return assumption of 7.60 percent, which wasadopted by the Florida Retirement System Actuarial Assumption Conference, conflicts with theconsulting actuary’s judgment of a reasonable assumption as defined by Actuarial Standards of PracticeNo. 27.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the FRS Pension Plan was 7.60%. FRS’fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments ofcurrent active and inactive employees. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pensionliability is equal to the long term expected rate of return.
Because the HIS Program is essentially funded on a pay as you go basis, a municipal bond rate of 2.85%was used to determine the total pension liability for the program. The Bond Buyer General ObligationBond 20 Bond Municipal Bond Index was used as the applicable municipal bond index.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discountrate. The sensitivity analysis shows the impact to the employer’s proportionate share of the net pensionliability if the discount rate was 1.00% higher or 1.00% lower than the current discount rate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ONCOMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED INACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
The Honorable Mayor and Town CommissionTown of Inglis, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica 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 governmentalactivities, the business type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund informationof the Town of Inglis, Florida (the Town) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and therelated notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town’s basic financialstatements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 14, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Town’s internalcontrol over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that areappropriate 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 Town’s internal control.Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraphand was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses orsignificant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist thatwere not identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings, we identified adeficiency in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allowmanagement or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, ordetect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or acombination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a materialmisstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on atimely basis. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of findings as item2016 001 to be a material weakness.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town’s financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect onthe determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance withthose provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

2016 001 (Reported in previous audit reports as items 2015 001 and 2014 001.)
Condition – Because of a limited number of available personnel, it is not always possibleto adequately segregate certain incompatible duties so that no one employee has accessto both physical assets and the related accounting records or to all phases of atransaction. Consequently, the possibility exists that unintentional or intentional errorsor irregularities could exist and not be promptly detected.
Recommendation – To the extent possible, given the availability of personnel, the Townshould implement a system of checks and balances. Steps should be taken to separateemployee duties so that no one individual has access to both physical assets and therelated accounting records, or to all phases of a transaction.
