FORMAL TRANSMITTAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)

State law requires that all general-purpose governments publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for the fiscal year

ended June 30, 2018.

This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of Queen Anne’s County. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in the report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, the management of Queen Anne’s County has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse

and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, Queen Anne’s County’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide a reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert

that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.

Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements have been audited by TGM Group LLC, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involves examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles

used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

The independent audit of the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County is part of a broader, federally mandated, “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements

involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in Queen Anne’s County’s separately issued Single Audit report.

____________________________ ___________________________

-1- GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis, entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. Queen Anne’s County’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditor.

PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT

Queen Anne’s County is situated on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It is bordered to the north by Kent County, to the east by the State of Delaware, to the south by Caroline and Talbot counties, and to the west by the Chesapeake Bay. Access to the western shore of Maryland is provided by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The County is 373 square miles in area and has approximately 48,904 citizens. The County seat is located in Centreville. The County

Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County are empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties located within its boundaries.

Queen Anne’s County was formed in 1706 and is governed by a five-member Board of County Commissioners.

County code provides that one Commissioner be elected purely at large; the remaining four Commissioners must reside in specific districts, but are elected at large. The Commissioners operate under Maryland’s Code Home Rule form of government. Both the executive and legislative functions of the County are vested with the Board of County Commissioners.

Queen Anne’s County provides a full range of services including public safety (police, volunteer fire protection, emergency services, detention center, and animal control), highways and streets, solid waste, planning and zoning, economic development, culture and recreation, education, libraries, and general administrative services. In conjunction with the State, the County also operates services related to general community health and social services.

In addition, the County operates a water and wastewater utility, an airport, a golf course, and public landings and marinas.

BUDGETARY CONTROLS

The annual budget serves as the foundation for the County’s financial and budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriation resolution approved by the County Commissioners. The County budget is comprised of the budget message, current revenue and expense budgets and the capital budget and capital program. Activities of the general fund, certain special revenue funds, and the enterprise funds are included in

the current budget.

The current operating budget includes appropriations for the full range of basic services. These services include county administration, public safety, education, public works, community services, parks, debt and other agencies.

The capital budget includes funds to construct major governmental facilities such as the new County Courthouse, roads, schools, and water and sewer infrastructure. Capital projects usually take more than a year to complete, unlike the operating budget which covers only a year.

The budget process begins each fall when the County departments receive budget preparation instructions for the capital budget which is then followed by instructions for the operating budget. The budget preparation is directed by the Director of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology. After a thorough review of the departmental requests, a County Administrator’s proposed budget is submitted to the County Commissioners in March. The County

Commissioners then conduct a series of public hearings and work sessions to review the proposed budget. After its review, the County Commissioners finalize the budget and set tax rates, fees and charges needed to generate enough revenue to balance the budget. The budget must be adopted by the County Commissioners on or before the last day of the month of the fiscal year currently ending, although the Commissioners typically adopt the budget at the end of

May.

The Office of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology is responsible for budgetary control. The appropriated budgets are prepared at the fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., Detention Center) level.

Expenditures/expenses may not legally exceed appropriations, based on the level at which they were adopted. For the General Fund, annual expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the departmental level. For all other Governmental -2- Funds, for which annual budgets are adopted, expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the fund level. Budgets for the General Capital Projects Fund and the Roads Capital Projects Fund reflect multi-year appropriations at the

individual project level.

Department Heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department of up to $10,000 with the approval of the County Administrator. Transfers of appropriations or appropriation of new revenues in excess of $10,000 require the approval of the County Commissioners. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this report for individual governmental funds for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. The budget comparisons for the

general fund are presented as part of the Required Supplementary Information portion of this report. For non-major funds with appropriated annual budgets, budget to actual comparisons are presented in the Supplementary Information subsection of this report.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND CONDITION

The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which Queen Anne’s County operates.

The unemployment rate for Queen Anne’s County is typically below the state and national averages, as shown in the chart below. The June 2018 rate for the County was 3.9%, compared to the state’s rate of 4.5% and the U.S.’s rate of 4.0%. The 2018 average rate for the County was 3.7%.

LOCAL ECONOMY

The local employment base is somewhat limited and centers on several stable manufacturers, as well as the agriculture, maritime, construction, retail, leisure, and hospitality industries. The three largest employers are governmental units, including the County, the Board of Education, and Chesapeake College. There is a small, but growing, base of specialty manufacturers. In addition, the County’s proximity to the Western Shore enables about

60% of the workforce to commute to locations outside the County, primarily to higher paying jobs in the Baltimore and Washington areas.

Property taxes increased in fiscal year 2018 by 2.2% to $67.9 million due to an increase in assessable base. Property tax revenue is projected to increase by 2.1% into fiscal year 2019 with revenue projected to be approximately $1.4 million above the 2018 fiscal year level. Local income tax is the County’s other main revenue source. Income tax collections increased by 6.7% in fiscal year 2018, from $48.6 million in fiscal year 2017 to $51.8 million in fiscal

year 2018 as a result of increased employment and wage gains.

Recordation tax improved in fiscal year 2018 with an increase of 4.3% over fiscal year 2017, from $5.5 million in fiscal year 2017 to $5.7 million in fiscal year 2018. In addition to an increase in recordation tax revenue, the transfer -3- tax revenue also increased in fiscal year 2018 by 2.7%, from $1.9 million in fiscal year 2017 to $2.0 million in fiscal year 2018. Both the recordation and transfer tax revenue increases are a direct result of the continued improvement in

the housing market.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING

Rainy Day Fund – Ordinance No. 12-21 was adopted in January 2013 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a Rainy Day Fund for contingencies of an emergency nature; requiring annual reports on such fund balance; providing for the appropriation of such funds to meet emergency needs; and requiring surplus revenues be used to maintain the Rainy Day Fund at a set minimum amount. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, County Ordinance

No. 16-24 changed the minimum amount of the rainy day fund to 8% (previously 7%) of the following year’s budgeted general fund operating revenues, as recommended by the Spending Affordability Committee. The County funded the Rainy Day Fund with the required amount of $10,906,358 in fiscal year 2018.

Revenue Stabilization Fund (Previously “Special Fund”) – Resolution No. 14-05 was adopted in March 2014 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a Special Fund to set aside certain general funds of the County for certain unanticipated projects, initiatives, and other one-time expenses. Resolution No. 16-99 was adopted in December 2016 for the purpose of renaming the “Special Fund” to the Revenue Stabilization Fund and revising the maximum amount

of such fund. The maximum amount of the Revenue Stabilization Fund shall not exceed 5% of budgeted general fund operating revenues and the transfer to the General Fund shall only be made after the requirements of the Rainy Day Fund have been met. The County funded the Revenue Stabilization Fund with $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2018. The current balance of the Revenue Stabilization Fund is $5,000,000.

Spending Affordability Committee – Ordinance No. 15-11 was adopted in November 2015 for the purpose of establishing a committee to provide recommendations and projections for the upcoming budget year. Specifically, the Committee is charged to review in detail the status and projections of revenues and expenditures for the County for the next budget year and subsequent five years; to review future County revenue levels and consider the impact of

economic factors such as changes in personal income and assessable base growth; and to review future expenditure levels with consideration of County long-term obligations and any pressure for growth in costs.

The Committee’s recommendations help determine general expenditure guidelines based on projected revenue, and the amount of new County debt authorization for the upcoming fiscal year. The Committee recommends policy changes primarily regarding budgeting, debt, and fund balance. This Committee also assesses the County’s ability to repay bond debt, determines debt capacity using several debt measures, and provides general guidance regarding

future capital budgets.

Capital Projects - The County Commissioners’ six-year capital program, starting with fiscal year 2019, prioritizes capital expenditures over these years to meet the County’s needs. The six-year program totals $191.0 million and includes: $42.5 million for various school related projects; $41.1 million for various Sanitary District projects (includes the Southern Kent Island Sewer Service at $22.3 million); $19.0 million for the Detention Center (includes

the Detention Center renovation); $18.3 million for Roads Board capital projects; $12.6 million for the Bay Bridge Airport; $9.7 million for the Department of Emergency Services; $9.6 million for Information Technology; $9.6 million for Administration and General Services (includes $1.5 million for the new courthouse); and $7.5 million for Parks.

FINANCIAL POLICIES

Bond Ratings - The financial policies and management practices of Queen Anne’s County were recognized by three major rating agencies. Fitch Rating Service issued an AAA bond rating, Moody’s issued a rating of Aa1, and Standard & Poor’s also issued a AAA rating.

Debt Management Policy – In calendar year 2013, the County adopted Resolution 13-04, which revised the County’s Local Debt Policy. In accordance with this policy, the Director of Budget, Finance, and Information -4- Technology is responsible for following certain procedures to ensure that debt limits established by the Policy are not exceeded. A key element of the Policy is that prior to the issuance of any new bonded indebtedness, the Director

must certify that existing and new General Obligation Debt will not exceed (1) 2.5% of the total taxable assessable base and (2) $3,000 per capita. This policy also stipulates that although there is some flexibility as to the acceptable percentage of debt service to general fund expenditures, and no absolute limit has been established by the rating agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association, anything above 12% of total general fund expenditures

would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service. In addition to the debt management policy, the Spending Affordability Committee recommended that the limit of debt service to general fund expenditures should be limited to 10% and the County Commissioners have adopted that as a limit.

For fiscal year 2018, Queen Anne’s County general obligation debt was 1.7% of the total taxable assessable base, and the per capita debt measurement was $2,772. The debt service was 8.8% of the general fund expenditures for the year.

All thresholds are well below the policy limits.

Fund Balance Policy – Resolution 12-21 was adopted in calendar year 2012 for the purpose of establishing criteria in which year end fund balances can be used. There are five purposes for which using fund balance is permitted: (1) paygo for items/projects in the County Capital Improvement Plan, (2) as a supplement to the Rainy Day Fund if it is underfunded, (3) to pay down existing debt, (4) reserved for future non-operating expenses related to fiscal

emergencies, and (5) as one time non-recurring expenditures of capital or non-capital items.

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

The preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the finance office. Each member of the department has my sincere appreciation for the contributions made in preparation of this report. Special recognition is given to members of the Audit Team: Nichole Hepfer, who is the principal staff member responsible for preparing the report, Teresa Ward, Lauren James, and Justine Franzen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County Centreville, Maryland Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the “County”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively

comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the component unit financial statements of the Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County and the Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the

Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County and the Queen Anne’s County Free Library, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the 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 -11- are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation

of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Queen Anne’s County,

Maryland, as of June 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2018, the County adopted new guidance from Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,

who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We and other auditors 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 County’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, other -12- supplementary information, and statistical section, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The other supplementary 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. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such

information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the other supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The introductory and statistical sections have 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 them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 30, 2018, on our consideration of the County’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal

control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s 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 County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Salisbury, Maryland November 30, 2018 -13- -14- Management’s Discussion and Analysis Introduction This section of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County) presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Queen Anne’s County Government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. We encourage readers to consider the discussion and analysis along with

the other information in this report, including the transmittal letter, basic financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements.

Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Queen Anne’s County Government’s basic financial statements. The County’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components:

Government-Wide Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements This report also contains other required and non-required 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 Queen Anne’s County Government’s finances, in a manner comparable to a private sector business.

The statement of net position presents information on all of Queen Anne’s County Government’s assets and liabilities, 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 and condition of Queen Anne’s County Government is improving or declining.

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 but unused vacation leave).

Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of Queen Anne’s County Government that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities).

The governmental activities of Queen Anne’s County Government include general government, public safety, public works, health, social services, education, library, conservation of natural resources, and economic and community development. The business-type activities of Queen Anne’s County Government include water and sewer services, an airport, a golf course, and public landings and marinas.

The government-wide financial statements include not only Queen Anne’s County Government itself (known as the primary government), but also legally separate component units. Queen Anne’s County Government has the following discretely presented component units: Queen Anne’s County Board of Education and the Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Financial information for these component units is reported separately

from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. The government-wide financial statements can be found in the basic financial statements section of this report.

-15- Fund Financial Statements: A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Queen Anne’s County Government, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of Queen Anne’s County Government can be divided into

three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Fund financial statements can be found throughout this report, as listed in the table of contents.

Governmental funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near term inflows and outflows of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a

government’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 balance sheet

and the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for governmental funds provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These two reconciliations begin with governmental fund financial data; describe all transactions that are added or subtracted to yield governmental activities; and end with governmental activities financial data. These

reconciliations can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.

Queen Anne’s County maintains three types of governmental funds: the general fund, a variety of special revenue funds, and five capital project 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 all governmental funds. Fund type is identified for each fund.

Queen Anne’s County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund (includes the roads board);

school, fire, and parks impact fee capital projects funds; and the following special revenue funds: department of aging, housing and community services, grants fund, economic development incentive, BRIDGE fund, community partnerships for children, law library, inmate welfare, agricultural transfer, rural legacy, dredging special assessments, and Kent Narrows. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each of

these funds, which can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.

Proprietary funds: Queen Anne’s County maintains enterprise funds to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Queen Anne’s County Government uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer services, airport, golf course, and public landings and marinas. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found within this report, as listed in the table

of contents.

Fiduciary funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support Queen Anne’s County Government’s own programs. The County acts as a fiduciary for two trust and five agency funds. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is

much like that used for proprietary funds except that the agency funds report only assets and liabilities and do not report net assets or changes therein. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.

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 within this report, as listed in the table of contents.

-16- Government-wide Financial Analysis Statement of Net Position A summary of government-wide assets, liabilities, and net position is as follows:

Governmental Activities Business Type Activities Total Summary of Net Position 2018 2017 * 2018 2017 * 2018 2017 * Current and Other Assets $ 103,188,755 $ 9 0,809,875 $ 21,600,111 $ 21,279,057 $ 1 24,788,866 $ 112,088,932 Capital Assets 1 77,815,678 1 70,304,345 112,821,224 105,642,304 290,636,902 275,946,649 Total Assets 281,004,433 2 61,114,220 134,421,335 126,921,361 415,425,768 388,035,581 Total Deferred Outflows of Resources 7,703,714 8,813,258 673,112 755,904 8 ,376,826 9 ,569,162

* Restated for prior period adjustment (see Note 19).

The County’s total current and other assets increased by $12.7 million, or 11.3 percent, to $124.8 million. The County’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of fiscal year 2018 by $162.9 million.

Net position is divided into three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted amounts; and unrestricted amounts. By far the largest portion, $199.2 million, of the County’s total net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure), less any related and outstanding debt used to construct or acquire those assets. The County uses these capital assets

to provide services to citizens; consequently, they are not available for future spending. Although the County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay the debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

It is important to note that, although counties in the State of Maryland issue debt for the construction of schools, the school buildings are owned by each county’s Board of Education. Ownership reverts to the county government only if the local Board determines a building is no longer needed for educational purposes.

Therefore, while the County’s financial statements include outstanding debt related to Board of Education capital assets, those statements do not include the capital assets funded by the debt. Debt outstanding for the Board of Education amounted to $58.6 million at June 30, 2018. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported a positive unrestricted amount of $8.1 million on its government-wide financial

statements, rather than the negative unrestricted net assets of $50.6 million reported herein. For a multi-year view of this calculation, see the Footnote presented in Table 1 of the Statistical Section.

An additional $14.3 million of the County’s total net position represents resources that are subject to restrictions on how they may be used. For governmental activities, this amount includes: $11.3 million related to general government services; $996 thousand for economic/community development; $635 thousand for conservation of natural resources; and $355 thousand for public safety. For business-type activities, this

amount includes $1.1 million restricted to meet Sanitary District debt covenants.

At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government reports positive balances in two out of three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental activities. Business-type activities reports positive balances in all net position categories.

-17- Statement of Activities The following table summarizes changes in net position for governmental and business-type activities during the year:

-18- Governmental activities:

Revenues for governmental activities were $148.6 million for fiscal year 2018. The following chart depicts revenues by source for governmental activities:

Revenues by Source - Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2018 County transfer taxes Gain on Sale of Capital 1.34% Assets Investment 0.06% Hotel taxes Income Miscellaneous 0.42% 0.66% 0.42% Charges for services 4.52% Recordation taxes 3.85% Operating, capital & Admission and restricted grants amusement taxes 5.90% 0.11% Local income tax 37.15% Property taxes 45.57%  Taxes comprise the largest source of County revenue, totaling $131.4 million (88.4 percent) of total

revenue for fiscal year 2018. Of that amount, property and local income tax together yielded $122.9 million (82.7 percent) of all revenue. Each County sets its own property and income tax rates, within parameters established by the State. For fiscal year 2018, the County’s property tax rate remained constant at $.8471 per $100 of assessed value of real property, based on full cash value of that property. The County’s local income tax rate was set at 3.2 percent, effective January 1, 2012 and

thereafter. There is no local sales tax in the State of Maryland.

 Charges for services, totaling $6.7 million, reflect fees charged to County citizens. These primarily support public works ($1.8 million or 26.5 percent), general government ($1.7 million or 24.8 percent), public safety ($1.5 million or 22.4 percent), and education ($1.3 million or 18.9 percent).

 Operating grants and contributions, totaling $5.7 million, reflect grants from Federal and State agencies that support specific County programs. Programs that benefitted the most were: social services ($2.0 million or 35.2 percent), public safety ($1.3 million or 22.6 percent), and public works ($823 thousand or 14.3 percent).

 Capital grants and contributions, totaling $3.0 million, reflect contributions from Federal and State agencies, as well as developers. Conservation of natural resources benefits the most from capital grants and contributions during the year ($1.4 million or 47.6 percent). General government also benefited from capital grants and contributions during the year ($1.1 million or 35.7 percent).

-19- Expenses for all governmental activities were $141.2 million for fiscal year 2018. The following chart depicts expenses by function for governmental activities:

Expenses - Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2018 Economic and Interest and fiscal Community charges Conservation of development 3.04% natural resources 1.76% 1.82% General government 11.21% Libraries 1.26% Public safety 19.21% Education Public works 44.12% Health 12.51% Social services 1.42% 3.65% As noted in the chart above and the table below, by far the County’s largest program and highest priority is

education, with expenses totaling $62.3 million (44.1 percent). The following table summarizes costs and program-related revenues for the same programs in order of priority, yielding net service costs:

Of the total cost of $141.2 million for governmental activities, $15.5 million (11.0 percent), of those costs were covered by program-related revenues paid by individuals and external governmental entities. Of these outside entities, individuals who benefited directly from County programs were charged user fees of $6.7 million, while governments and other organizations that benefited indirectly from these programs contributed operating

grants of $5.7 million and capital grants of $3.0 million.

County taxpayers paid for most of the remaining $125.7 million in net program costs, through a variety of County taxes, for a total of $131.4 million. Net program costs of services provided to the public, in order of net cost, were: $61.0 million for education; $24.2 million for public safety; $14.8 million for public works;

$12.4 million for general government; $3.0 million for social services; $1.4 million for economic and community development; $886 thousand for conservation of natural resources; and $8.1 million for other services. See Changes in Net Position and General Fund Budgetary Highlights for further details.

-20- Changes in net position: Government-wide revenues, less expenses, plus/minus transfers in/out, yield changes in net position. During fiscal year 2018, governmental activities increased the County’s net position overall by $7.2 million, compared to an increase of $192 thousand in fiscal year 2017. The following discussion explains changes in net position relative to the prior fiscal year.

Revenues for governmental activities increased by $11.2 million (8.2 percent). The following key revenues changed, when compared to the prior fiscal year:

 Income taxes increased by $6.6 million (13.6 percent), from $48.6 million in fiscal year 2017 to $55.2 million in fiscal year 2018. Approximately half of the increase ($3.3 million) was the result of increased receipts from the State for the County’s portion of the income tax collections. The remaining increase resulted from an increase in the County’s portion of the income tax reserve held by the State of Maryland.

 Capital grants and contributions increased by $2.8 million, from $225 thousand in fiscal year 2017 to $3.0 million in fiscal year 2018. The key factor for this change is that conservation of natural resources increased by $1.4 million due to grant funding received in fiscal year 2018 for the purchase of land conservation easements and no such activity occurred in fiscal year 2017. General governmental also increased by $1.1 million due to capital grant funding received in the current fiscal

year that was not received in the prior year. Of the $1.1 million, $975 thousand related to developer contributed capital from the Four Seasons development.

 Property taxes increased by $1.2 million (1.9 percent), from $66.5 million in fiscal year 2017 to $67.7 million in fiscal year 2018 due to an increase in property assessments.

 Operating grants and contributions increased by $846 thousand (17.3 percent), from $4.9 million in fiscal year 2017 to $5.7 million in fiscal year 2018. The majority of this increase was in Economic/Community development, which increased by $579 thousand due to funding for the Chester Wye house project. Public Safety also increased by $257 thousand.

 Miscellaneous revenue decreased by $1.4 million (69.5 percent), from $2.1 million in fiscal year 2017 to $631 thousand in fiscal year 2018. Of this decrease, $733 thousand related to the workmen’s compensation adjustment resulting from the annual audit. The County charges workmen’s compensation insurance based on insurance rates attributable to each class of worker and then undergoes an annual audit to determine if those rates are accurate. Public works also received an

additional $366 thousand in fiscal year 2017 for the energy savings incentive program but did not receive it in fiscal year 2018.

Expenses for governmental activities increased by $4.3 million (3.1 percent) and transfers out to business-type activities decreased by $152 thousand. Key positive and negative expense changes, in order of relative importance, are:

 Education expenses increased by $3.1 million (5.2 percent). The increase resulted from $2.5 million more in expenses for the renovation of Grasonville Elementary School in the current fiscal year, due to the timing of the project. The project was just beginning at the end of fiscal year 2017. In addition, the operating allocation to the Board of Education increased by $1.3 million in fiscal year 2018. These

increases were partially offset by decreases in some of the other Board of Education projects.

 General Government increased by $2.7 million (20.2 percent), mainly as a result of increases in two specific areas. First, expenses for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) increased by $2.1 million, which is mainly due to increased expense associated with recording the OPEB liability for the County.

Secondly, miscellaneous expenses increased by $754 thousand due to several different factors.

Approximately half of the increase in miscellaneous expenses related to insurance and benefits.

-21-  Conservation of Natural Resources increased by $2.0 million (316.7 percent) due to increased easement acquisitions in fiscal year 2018. A total of $1.8 million was spent on easements in fiscal year 2018, compared to no acquisitions in fiscal year 2017. Generally, the timing of easement purchases is affected by the evaluation process of the identified land, as well as the availability of State funds.

 Economic and Community Development increased by $617 thousand (33.2 percent) as a result of the expenses for the Chester Wye house, which did not occur until the current fiscal year.

 Public Works decreased by $3.1 million (14.9 percent). The majority of the reduction in public works expenses resulted from a decrease in donated property. In fiscal year 2017, the County donated land totaling 2.2 million to the Town of Centreville for roads, stormwater and utilities and $219 thousand to the Maryland State Highway Administration for road improvements. There were no such donations

in fiscal year 2018. In addition, the OPEB expense associated with public works decreased by $540 thousand. Lastly, the pension expense associated with pubic works decreased by $514 thousand as a result of the pension liability recorded at the County level, which decreased in fiscal year 2018.

 Public Safety decreased by $866 thousand (3.1 percent) resulting from a decrease of $1.8 million in the pension funding. The OPEB expense also decreased by $972 thousand. Offsetting a portion of the decreases were increases in other areas, such as a $630 thousand increase in emergency services from additional staff costs as well as other operational costs and an increase of $867 thousand in depreciation expense due to the addition of the emergency services communication system in fiscal

year 2017, which began depreciating in fiscal year 2018.

Business-type activities:

Revenues, transfers in, and expenses for business-type activities were $15.8 million, $183 thousand, and $14.4 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2018. The following two charts depict revenues by source and expenses by service for business-type activities:

Revenues by Source - Business-Type Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2018 Investment income Miscellaneous 2.78% 5.48% Operating & capital grants & Charges for contributions services 28.21% 63.53% Expenses by Service - Business-Type Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2018 Public landings Golf course and marinas 3.53% 3.71% Airport 7.47% Water and sewer 85.29% -22- Business-type activities increased the County’s net position altogether by $1.6 million in fiscal year 2018,

which is an increase of $2.4 million compared to the prior year’s decrease of $869 thousand. The fiscal year 2018 change in net position resulted primarily from:

 Operating revenues before transfers increased by $3.0 million (23.6 percent), from $12.8 million in fiscal year 2017 to $15.8 million in fiscal year 2018, for all business-type activities. Sanitary capital grants and contributions increased by $2.0 million due to increased funding for the Four Seasons development. Charges for services increased by $1.0 million due to increased revenue in Sanitary. In

addition to increased revenue for the Sanitary District, the expenses also increased by $479 thousand for Sanitary, mainly due to an increase in the cost of sales and services.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds As noted earlier, Queen Anne’s County Government uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. Detailed financial data based on the government’s fund accounting can be found in the governmental fund statements in this report.

Governmental Funds: The focus of Queen Anne’s County Government’s governmental funds is to provide information on near term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing Queen Anne’s County Government’s near term financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end

of a fiscal year.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $78.8 million, compared to $72.1 million for the prior year. Approximately 14.1 percent of this total ($11.1 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending.

The total unassigned fund balance of $11.1 million is comprised of $11.1 million of positive unassigned fund balance for the general fund, reduced by negative unassigned fund balances of $49 thousand in the non-major governmental funds. Additional detail on the negative unassigned balances can be found in Note 15 of this report.

The nonspendable fund balance of $8.6 million, at 10.9 percent of the total fund balance, is not available for spending and includes amounts related to inventory and loans receivable. Restricted fund balance of $17.8 million (22.6 percent) includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external sources or legal restrictions. Included in the restricted fund balance is $10.9 million for the rainy day fund.

Committed fund balance of $20.2 million (25.6 percent) represents those amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority. Included in the committed fund balance is $5.0 million for the revenue stabilization fund.

The remaining 26.8 percent of fund balance ($21.1 million) constitutes assigned fund balances. These amounts are intended to be used by the government for the specific purposes of each fund.

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of Queen Anne’s County Government. At the end of the current fiscal year, the General Fund had a total fund balance of $29.7 million, which is an increase of $3.4 million from the fiscal year 2017 balance of $26.2 million.

Of the total $29.7 million in fund balance, $11.1 million is unassigned, meaning that there are no constraints on how the funds can be spent. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, County Ordinance No. 16-24 changed the minimum amount of the rainy day fund to 8.0 percent (previously 7.0 percent) of budgeted general fund operating revenues as recommended by the Spending Affordability Committee. As a result of that Ordinance,

$10.9 million of rainy day funds are included in the General Fund’s restricted fund balance of $11.0 million for -23- fiscal year 2018. The remaining fund balance is comprised of $1.0 million in nonspendable, $5.0 million in committed, and $1.5 million of assigned.

For further explanations of General Fund revenues and expenditures, see the General Fund Budgetary Highlights section of this MD&A.

The General Capital Projects Fund accounts for all capital projects related to governmental funds, except those accounted for in the Roads Capital Projects Fund, which is discussed below.

As of June 30, 2018, the General Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $26.6 million, compared to $24.8 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $26.6 million in total fund balance is comprised of $2.2 million of nonspendable fund balance, $4.8 million in restricted fund balance, mainly for unspent bond proceeds, $2.6 million of fund balance committed for specific projects, and $17.0 million of assigned fund

balance.

The Roads Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources used for the construction of County Road infrastructure, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets.

As of June 30, 2018, the Roads Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $2.7 million, compared to $2.1 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Of this total $2.7 million fund balance, $2.1 million has been assigned to fund ongoing projects, while $615 thousand has been contributed by local developers and is committed to fund specific infrastructure improvements.

Proprietary funds: Queen Anne’s County Government’s enterprise fund statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Also, due to/due from other funds are combined in the government-wide statements and reported as Internal Balances between governmental and business-type activities, which net to zero.

Total unrestricted net position of the Sanitary District Enterprise Funds at the end of fiscal year 2018 amounted to $9.4 million, which is $3.4 million more than the prior year. The increase in unrestricted net position is partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in net investment in capital assets. In addition, the restricted amount for capital projects decreased by $753 thousand to a zero balance, due to the Four Seasons

development moving forward.

Total net position of the Sanitary District amounted to $71.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2018, which increased by $1.3 million when compared to the prior year.

The unrestricted net position of the Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund at year end amounted to negative $1.6 million compared to a negative $1.5 million at the end of the prior fiscal year, reflecting a decrease of $49 thousand. The investment in capital assets for the Bay Bridge Airport also decreased by $329 thousand in the current fiscal year.

Total net position of the Bay Bridge Airport amounted to $15.0 million at the end of fiscal year 2018, which is a decrease of $378 thousand from the prior year amount of $15.4 million.

A discussion of Enterprise Fund capital assets and long-term debt can be found in those sections presented later in this MD&A.

General Fund Budgetary Comparisons The County adopts an operating budget for the General Fund as of July 1 each year and amends that budget throughout the year in response to actual expenditures. The Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget and Actual can be found as part of Required Supplemental Information, which is located after the Notes. The Schedule reports original and final budgets, as well as the variance between actual

expenditures and final budgets.

-24- Original to Final Budget Comparisons. The final expenditure budget for the General Fund, including transfers out, totaled $137.3 million. Amendments increased spending authority by $3.5 million during fiscal year 2018, when compared to the original budget of $133.8 million.

Major components of these expenditure budget increases are as follows:

 Budgeted Transfers Out to General Capital Projects increased by $2.7 million during the year. There are several capital projects in which the County plans to move aggressively on, and will rely on fund balance available in the General Capital Projects fund to cover a portion of the costs.

 Budgeted Public Safety increased by $456 thousand, due to an increase in grant funding for the Sheriff’s Office and also the hiring of five additional deputies for the new Circuit Courthouse ($231 thousand) and Emergency Services ($225 thousand) as the result of increased grant funding.

Budget to Actual Comparisons. Actual revenues for the General Fund, including other financing sources and before appropriated fund balance were more than final budgetary estimates by $275 thousand. Actual expenditures, and other financing uses, were less than final budgetary appropriations by $4.3 million. The net effect of these two disparities was a positive variance of actual to final budget of $4.6 million.

The most noteworthy differences between final budgeted amounts and actual amounts are summarized as follows:

Revenues:

 Charges for Current Services revenue was $422 thousand more than the final budget (17.4 percent) mainly due to increased revenue for Road’s inspection fees, mosquito control, and Emergency Services.

 Income tax revenue was $397 thousand more than the final budget (0.8 percent). Income tax revenue has generally outperformed the County’s estimates, which are largely based on estimates from the Comptroller for State revenue growth.

 Investment Income revenue was $263 thousand more than the final budget (70.1 percent) due to increased cash on hand during the year and also an increase in the interest rates at MLGIP.

 Transfers In were $1.1 million less than the final budget (100 percent), as a result of transfer in from School Impact fees not being made in the fiscal year. Management determined that it was more advantageous to leave the funds in the Impact Fee Fund in anticipation of future Board of Education projects.

Expenditures:

 Final Budgeted Salaries and Benefits were $37.5 million for the year, while actual costs were $36.1 million. They were underspent at year-end by $1.4 million (3.8 percent). The Sheriff’s Office was underspent by $581 thousand, roads department by $326 thousand, volunteer fire and rescue by $284 thousand (workmen’s compensation savings), and emergency services by $247 thousand. This was due to the number of vacant positions during the fiscal year and the lapsed funds associated with the

recruitment of staff.

 Final Budgeted Other Operating Charges were $99.8 million for the year, while actual costs were $96.9 million. These costs were lower than budget at year end by $2.9 million (2.9 percent).

Operating Charges include contracted services, supplies, other charges, debt service, and transfers out.

-25- o Contracted Services were underspent by $467 thousand, with the largest savings realized by the detention center ($195 thousand), information technology ($79 thousand), legal ($77 thousand), and contingency ($62 thousand).

o Supplies were underspent by $600 thousand, largely due to savings by roads ($429 thousand) and solid waste ($140 thousand).

o Other Charges were underspent by $1.3 million. Of this amount, non-departmental had savings of $455 thousand resulting from a variety of sources. The health department realized savings of $310 thousand, which represents the unspent portion of their allocation that was returned to the County in fiscal year 2018. In addition, contingency also realized savings of $187 thousand. The remaining savings for other charges were spread throughout the General

Fund.

o Debt Service was underspent by $17 thousand, which resulted from estimating the debt service payments for the recent bonds before the final schedules were available.

o Transfers Out were underspent by $592 thousand, due to savings realized by the Department of Aging ($341 thousand), Housing and Community Services ($89 thousand) and the Golf Course Enterprise Fund ($128 thousand), which allowed these departments to forgo this portion of their appropriation.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital assets: Queen Anne’s County Government’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2018 amounted to $290.6 million (net of accumulated depreciation).

This investment in capital assets includes land and land improvements, intangible rights, construction in progress, buildings, improvements other than buildings, infrastructure, autos, machinery, and equipment.

QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND

CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

Change in Fund Balances - Total governmental funds, per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds $ 6 ,724,487 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Capital outlay expenditures are reported in Governmental Funds during the year. However, in the Statement of Activities, costs for capital asset purchases are allocated over the estimated useful lives of those assets and reported as depreciation expense over a number of years. Therefore, the change in assets differs from the change in fund balance by the amount of capital asset purchases that will be capitalized and depreciated over a number of years, less the offsetting depreciation expense for the current year.

Proceeds received on disposal of capital assets are reported in Governmental Funds as current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, only the gain or (loss) realized on disposal of capital assets is reported. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of capital assets sold, net of accumulated depreciation (i.e., book value). In addition, developer contributions of capital assets (primarily infrastructure) are not reported in Governmental Funds because they do not represent current

financial resources available to cover this year's expenditures. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the capital assets received.

Donated Capital Assets are not reported in Governmental Funds because they are not current financial resources.

However, in the Statement of Activities, they are recognized as capital contributions and as capital assets.

The following is a summary of the net increase in capital assets, which is detailed in Note 6 - Capital Assets - Primary Government.

ADD capital assets acquired as capital outlay $ 260,941 ADD capital assets resulting from general capital projects 12,040,920 ADD capital assets resulting from roads capital projects 243,005 SUBTRACT capital asset donations and transfers ( 19,086) SUBTRACT book value of disposed capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation ( 392,132) SUBTRACT current year depreciation expense ( 4,622,315) Net Increase in Capital Assets 7,511,333

Receivables not included in the governmental funds because they relate to debt.

A portion of the County's 2014 Bond offering related to debt issued on behalf of Chesapeake College. Although Queen Anne's County will submit the payments to the lender for the bonds, there are five Counties that will share the expense of the debt service for the Chesapeake College project. A receivable is booked in Government-Wide in order to offset the debt recorded on the books related to the portion of the Chesapeake College project that the other Counties are responsible for.

CHANGE in bond receivable related to 2014 bonds ( 181,152) Liability for retirement incentive As part of the retirement incentives offered in fiscal year 2018, retirees were given a certain period of health insurance at no cost, rather than the normal premium. The maximum period of no cost health insurance was five years. The liability for the benefit offered to the retirees is included in the government wide statements and adjusted each year until the benefit period is over.

CHANGE in liability for the retirement incentive ( 164,981) A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County’s debt service for interest expense. Therefore, at year end, a receivable is booked for the interest reimbursement due, but not yet received.

CHANGE in bond interest reimbursement receivable - Build America Bond ( 4,214) Revenues that are earned but not collected within sixty days after the end of the fiscal year are not considered to be "available" to meet current cash requirements and are deferred in the Governmental Funds to the following year. However, these revenues are recognized in the Statement of Activities. The amount by which this type of deferred inflows increased or (decreased) relative to the

prior year is as follows:

CHANGE in Property Tax Deferred Inflows ( 208,326) CHANGE in Income Tax Deferred Inflows 3,377,508 Issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, notes, and capital leases) provides current financial resources to Governmental Funds, while repayment of principal due for long-term debt consumes current resources. In the Statement of Net Assets, issuing debt increases long term liabilities, while repayment reduces those liabilities.

ADD retirements and repayments made on long term debt 8,141,790 SUBTRACT proceeds of debt ( 16,908,973) SUBTRACT College reimbursement received ( 203,379) ADD County's allocation to College for debt 55,124 SUBTRACT Deferred Refunding Costs ( 211,377) ( 9,126,815) Some accrued expenses, reported in the Statement of Activities, do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the Governmental Funds.

CHANGE in:

Accrued Interest Payable ( 58,559) Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation ( 1,264,048) Net pension liability - Maryland State Pension 3,083,644 Accrued Compensated Absences ( 7,592) Deferred outflow of resources - Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligations 222,281 Deferred outflow of resources - Maryland State Pension (see Note 12) ( 1,120,448) Deferred inflow of resources - Maryland State Pension (see Note 12) ( 1,536,191)

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2018

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies of the County conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to local government entities. The following is a summary of significant policies.

A. REPORTING ENTITY

Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County) was founded in 1706. The County is governed by five Commissioners who are elected to serve four-year terms. This board assumes responsibilities conferred upon them by the Maryland General Assembly under Code Home Rule and provides the following services: public safety, public facility/infrastructure maintenance and improvements, sanitation, health and social services, education, recreation and culture, library, conservation of natural resources, economic and

community development, and general administrative services.

As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the primary government and its component units, which are entities for which the primary government is considered financially accountable. The decision to include a potential component unit in the financial reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 14 and 39. Blended component units, although separate entities, are in substance, part of the government’s

operations. However, each discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements (see note below for descriptions) to emphasize that it is legally separate from the government.

Blended Component Units The Queen Anne’s County Sanitary District serves citizens of the government and is governed by a board comprised of the government’s elected Commissioners. The rates for user charges and bond issuance authorizations are approved by the Board of Commissioners and the legal liability for the general obligation portion of the District’s debt remains with the government. The Sanitary District is reported as an enterprise fund.

The Queen Anne’s County Roads Board serves all the citizens of the government and is governed by a board comprised of the government’s elected Commissioners. All operations of the Roads Board are approved by the Board of Commissioners and the legal liability for any debt remains with the government. The Roads Operating Fund is included in with the General Fund.

Discretely Presented Component Units Components units are legally separate entities that are included in the County’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operating or financial relationships with the County. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the County’s reporting entity include whether:

 the organization is legally separate  the County Commissioners appoint a voting majority of the organization’s board  the County Commissioners have the ability to impose their will on the organization  the organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the County  the organization is fiscally dependent on the County Based on the application of these criteria, the following organizations are considered component units of Queen Anne’s County

Government. Their financial data is discretely presented in separate columns in the government-wide financial statements. Both discretely presented component units have a June 30 year end.

The Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County is a five-member body responsible for the operation of Queen Anne’s County Schools. Beginning with the November 2008 election, the members were elected by the County voters. The Board of Education is a component unit of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland by virtue of the Board’s fiscal dependency on the County through the County’s responsibility for levying taxes, issuing debt, and its budgetary control over the Board of Education.

The Queen Anne’s County Free Library is a component unit of the Queen Anne’s County Government by virtue of the Library’s fiscal dependency on the County. The County levies taxes and approves the Library’s budget. The Library Board of Trustees governs the Library. Vacancies on the Board of Trustees are filled by vote of the remaining members of that Board.

B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Government-Wide Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Primary Government and its component units. Since, by definition, assets of fiduciary funds are held for the benefit of a third party (other local governments, private parties, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the County, these funds are not incorporated into the government-wide statements.

Interfund activity within the primary government’s governmental activities and business-type activities has been eliminated from the government-wide statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Residual balances between the governmental and business-type categories are presented on the Statement of Net Position as “Internal balances”.

Governmental activities of the Primary Government, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.

Statement of Net Position – This statement is designed to display the financial position of the reporting entity as of year-end.

Governments report all capital assets, including infrastructure, in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and report depreciation expense, the cost of “using up” capital assets, in the Statement of Activities. Net position is divided into three categories:

1) net investment in capital assets; 2) restricted amounts; and 3) unrestricted amounts. Net Investment in capital assets consists of

capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those capital assets. Restricted amounts are assets for which constraints are placed due to restrictions that are either (1) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws

and regulations of the government, or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted amounts consist of net assets that do not meet the definition of restricted or invested in capital assets.

B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Statement of Activities – This statement demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function for the fiscal year are offset by program revenues. Therefore, this statement reflects both the gross and net costs per functional category (general government; public safety; public works; health; social services; education; library; conservation of natural resources; and economic/community development) that are otherwise supported by general revenues. Direct expenses (including depreciation) are

those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. The operating grants and contributions column includes operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants, while the capital grants and contributions

column reflects capital-specific grants. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. The County does not allocate indirect expenses.

Fund Financial Statements – Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

In the fund financial statements, financial transactions and accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, fund balance/net assets, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.

Governmental Fund Budget-to-Actual Comparison Statements – Demonstrating compliance with the legally adopted budget is an important component of government’s accountability to the public. The County provides a budget-to-actual comparison of the General Fund as part of the required supplementary information section located after the Notes to the basic financial statements. A budget-to-actual comparison is provided for the General Fund on a departmental level as required supplementary information, and

for all non-major governmental funds with legally adopted budgets in the supplementary information section.

The County and many other governments revise their original budgets over the course of the year for a variety of reasons; the County’s amended budget is reflected in a separate column in the budget-to-actual comparison statements. Variances are calculated based on final budgets.

C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Full Accrual Basis Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are

recognized as revenue in the year in which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Capital assets and related depreciation are recorded in these statements, as well as debt, accrued compensated absences, other post-employment benefits, and other accruals.

Modified Accrual Basis Financial Statements – Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

(CONTINUED)

Revenues are recorded as soon as they are susceptible to accrual (i.e., when 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. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment has matured and is due. Similarly, expenditures related to claims, judgments,

compensated absences, and other post-employment benefits are recorded only to the extent that they are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Capital assets, and related depreciation, as well as long-term liabilities are not recorded in these statements.

In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to income taxes (distributed by the State), property taxes, and inter-governmental revenues other than grants, the County defines “available” as received within 60 days after year-end.

In the State of Maryland, the State has assumed responsibility for the collection of all income taxes and for distributing those collections to the respective counties. The counties set their individual tax rates within limits provided by State law. However, collection and pursuit of delinquent taxes are the responsibility of the State. The County records estimated receivables relating to income taxes when the underlying income is earned. Amounts not received within 60 days are reported as deferred inflows of

resources. At year-end, deferred revenue relating to income taxes primarily includes the final fiscal year distribution (which is normally received in September after the fiscal year-end) and amounts related to late filers, delinquent returns and audits, and unallocated withholding, all of which are not received within the County’s availability period. Most deferred inflows are expected to be received from the State within the next fiscal year; however, collections related to delinquent returns and audits as well as

unallocated withholding may not be remitted to the County for several years.

In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to operating and capital grants, which are classified with intergovernmental revenues in the fund financial statements, the County records receivables when the applicable eligibility requirements including time requirements are met. Related revenues are recognized to the extent that cash is expected to be received within one year of year-end. Resources

received before the eligibility requirements are met are reported as unearned revenue.

Licenses and permits, charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues (except earnings on investments) are generally recorded as revenues when received in cash during the year. At year-end, receivables are recorded for significant amounts due. If such amounts are received in cash after year-end within the County’s 60-day availability period, they are recognized as revenue. Benefit assessment receivables not billed at year end are reported as deferred inflows of resources.

Fiduciary Funds – The County’s trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, as is used by proprietary funds. Agency funds report only assets and liabilities; they do not report changes in net position. Therefore, agency funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and payables. Activity during the year is accounted for as additions to and deductions from asset and liability accounts (for Agency

Funds) and Net Position (for Private Purpose and Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Funds). Since fiduciary funds are, by their very nature, independent of the County, they are omitted from all government-wide statements.

Financial Statement Presentation - The County reports the following major governmental and proprietary funds, as well as fiduciary funds.

(CONTINUED)

General Fund – This fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required or recommended, by GAAP, to be accounted for in another fund.

Capital Projects Funds – General Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed from general governmental resources.

Roads Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the construction of County Road infrastructure, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed from grants received from State and Federal Governments, Highway User Tax funds, and general governmental resources.

Non-Major Governmental Funds – There are nineteen non-major governmental funds, which are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources. Included in the nineteen non-major governmental funds are sixteen special revenue funds and three capital project funds.

Major Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for those activities of the Primary Government that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises in that all costs and expenses, including depreciation, are recovered primarily or partially through user charges. The Sanitary District Funds are intended to be selfsupporting as a whole, while the Airport is intended to be only partially self-supporting. The County reports the following

major enterprise funds:

Sanitary District - Sewer Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the sewer system serving approximately 7,490 customers.

Water Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the water supply system serving approximately 4,430 customers.

Restricted Fund - This fund is used to account for the proceeds of sewer and water capacity charges (one-time allocation fees) and is used to fund capital and debt service expenses.

Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to account for the collection of special benefit assessments, and financial resources from other sources, to fund debt associated with construction of water and sewer facilities in accordance with debt covenants.

Bay Bridge Airport – This fund is used to account for the operation of the County’s airport that serves small, private aircraft.

Non-Major Enterprise Funds – Non-major Enterprise Funds account for activities which are commercial in nature and are primarily or partially intended to be self-supporting. The County has two non-major enterprise funds, neither of which is meant to be fully self-supporting. These funds include the Golf Course and Public Landings and Marinas.

Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary Funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for entities other than the County. The County reports the following fiduciary fund types:

Private-Purpose Trust Fund – This fund accounts for an arrangement under which monies received at tax sale, in excess of taxes due, are legally held in trust for property owners who have not been located within a legally-defined time frame.

Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Fund– This fund accounts for the funding of retiree benefit plans of Queen Anne’s County and other participating agencies, which are the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education and Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Other agencies and political subdivisions have the right to participate in this Trust Fund also, as an investment vehicle for their Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan

through the pooling of investment resources.

Agency Funds - These funds are used to account for assets held in a purely custodial capacity where the County receives, temporarily invests, and remits such resources to individuals, private organizations or other governments.

These monies include escrow deposits for tax ditches, zoning deposits, state and town tax collections, motor vehicle administration deposits, and abandoned property.

Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The financial statements of the County have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to local government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial principles. The most significant of the County’s accounting policies are described below.

In the process of aggregating data for the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, some amounts reported as interfund activity and balances in the funds should be eliminated or reclassified. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. The effect of interfund services provided and used between functions has not been eliminated in the Statement of Activities, since to do so would distort the direct costs and program revenues

reported for the various functions concerned.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds 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 non-operating revenues and expenses.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY

1) Cash and Investments

Cash and Cash Equivalents – For Statement of Cash Flows reporting purposes, the County has defined “cash equivalents” as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

Generally, only investments with maturities of three months or less at time of purchase meet this definition. The balance sheet classification for “cash and cash equivalents” in the Statement of Cash Flows includes the following:

“Equity in pooled cash and investments,” “Cash and cash equivalents,” and “Restricted Equity in pooled cash and investments.”

2) Receivables and Payables

Due To/From Other Funds and Internal Balances – Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the year are current and are referred to as “due to/from other funds.” On the Statement of Net Position, these balances are referred to as “internal balances” and are reported as positive and negative “assets” that net to zero for the primary government as a whole.

Trade Accounts Receivable – Trade and other receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.

The allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on historical collection data and, in some cases, specific account analysis.

3) Inventories, Prepaids, and Other Assets

Inventories consisting of materials, parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. For budgetary purposes, the cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual inventory items are purchased (purchase method). The consumption method is used for financial reporting purposes whereby expense is recognized as the items are used (consumed). Reported inventories are equally offset by a fund

balance reserve. Inventories in the Proprietary Funds are also recorded using the consumption method.

Prepaid items are payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond the end of the fiscal year.

4) Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangibles, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. The County defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess

of one year. Such assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. 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 or functionality of the asset, or materially extend asset lives, are not capitalized.

Land and other inexhaustible assets such as intangible property easements and other land usage rights are capitalized but not depreciated, as these assets are expected to have indefinite useful lives.

D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (CONTINUED)

4) Capital Assets (continued)

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as the projects are constructed. Interest is capitalized on proprietary fund assets acquired with tax-exempt debt. The amount of interest to be capitalized is calculated by offsetting interest expense, incurred from the date of the borrowing until completion of the project, with interest earned on invested proceeds over the same period. Capital projects that are under construction and not yet

ready for their intended use at year-end are classified as “construction in progress” (CIP).

Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets Years Buildings and structures 20 - 50 Improvements other than buildings 15 - 50 Infrastructure 20 - 50 Machinery and equipment 5 - 20 Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 15 Vehicles 7 – 10

5) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources

In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time.

6) Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation (OPEB)

Primary Government – The Queen Anne’s County post-employment plan provides medical insurance benefits to retirees and their eligible dependents. The Plan’s financial information is prepared based on full accrual accounting.

Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis as retirees’ insurance costs are incurred. Typically, OPEB liabilities are liquidated in the following governmental funds: the General Fund, Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, and Community Partnerships for Children. OPEB liabilities are also liquidated in the following enterprise funds: Sanitary Sewer, Sanitary Water, Bay Bridge Airport, Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas.

Additional details regarding other post-employment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 14.

In both the government-wide and enterprise funds, liability for other post-employment benefits is adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the net other post-employment benefit obligation amounted to $48,899,484, including both governmental ($41,211,334) and business-type activities ($7,688,150).

Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2018, the net other post-employment benefit obligation for the Board of Education amounted to $171,829,758.

Component Unit – Free Library – For the year ended June 30, 2018, the net other post-employment benefit obligation for the Library amounted to $463,470.

7) Net Pension Liability

Primary Government – The Queen Anne’s County government participates in the Maryland State Retirement and Pension Systems. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, the County was required to report the net pension liability associated with this system. Typically, pension liabilities are liquidated in the following governmental funds: the General Fund, Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, and Community Partnerships for Children. Pension

liabilities are also liquidated in the following enterprise funds: Sanitary Sewer, Sanitary Water, Bay Bridge Airport, Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas. Additional details regarding retirement benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 12. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the net pension liability amounted to $26,661,766, including both governmental ($24,362,611) and business-type activities ($2,299,155).

Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2018, the net pension liability for the Board of Education amounted to $4,399,321.

8) Compensated Absences

Primary Government – The County’s policy is to pay employees for any unused vacation time, up to a maximum of 65 days, upon termination of employment. Compensated absences are reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, such as payments upon termination of employment, vacation, and compensatory time paid as they are used during the year. Such time is paid as regular wages. Compensated absences are reported in enterprise funds as

they are accrued. In the government-wide statements, the liability for compensated absences is adjusted at the end of each fiscal year to current salary costs. Accumulated unpaid leave of the County amounted to $2,944,194 at June 30, 2018, including both governmental ($2,561,087) and business-type activities ($383,107).

Component Unit - Board of Education – Accumulated unpaid annual leave is accrued when earned in the Unrestricted Current Expense Fund using the modified accrual basis of accounting. In fiscal year 1992, the Board adopted the practice of paying for any unused vacation time, up to the maximum number of days that employees can carry over from one year to the next, upon termination of employment. Maximum number of days varies from 20 to

30 days, depending on classification. Liabilities for compensated absences are inventoried at the end of each fiscal year and adjusted to current salary costs. Accumulated compensated absences as of June 30, 2018 amounted to $818,927. Because payment of sick leave is contingent upon employees’ future illness or retirement, the Board of Education expects its commitment to provide sick leave to be met during the normal course of activities over the

working lives of its present employees. Any accumulated unused sick leave at retirement will ultimately be taken into consideration and paid through retirement benefits by the State of Maryland.

9) Long-Term Obligations

In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statements of net assets. Bond premiums are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the bonds outstanding method. Bonds payable in the proprietary fund financial statements and

noncurrent liabilities in the government-wide financial statements are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported in the period in which they have been incurred.

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 expenditures. When debt is refunded in an advance refunding, payments to the Bond Refunding Agent and associated bond issuance costs are reported as other financing uses. When debt is refunded in a current refunding,

the principal on refunded debt is reported as other financing uses.

10) Net Position/Fund Equity

In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported an unrestricted net deficit of $50,566,757. This deficit is due to the fact that the County issues general obligation bonded debt for purposes of capital construction on behalf of the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. The capital assets constructed with the proceeds of this debt are reported on the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. This amount is also classified as

net investment in capital assets in the Board of Education column of the Component Units section of the County’s government-wide Statement of Net Position. Since the Board of Education is not authorized to borrow funds, they do not have any debt.

Since the issuance of such debt has not resulted in capital assets owned by the Primary Government, the effect of this debt is reflected in a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets in the Governmental Activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position. At June 30, 2018, the County has reported outstanding general obligation debt related to assets held by the Board of Education amounting to $58,625,356 (of which $57,168,629 has

been spent and the remaining $1,456,727 relates to unspent bond proceeds). Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported unrestricted net assets of governmental activities in the amount of $8,058,599.

The County reports a portion of its net position in its government-wide financial statements as restricted. In this context, restricted means that, as of June 30, 2018, this portion of net position was restricted for a particular purpose either by external parties; by provision of the County Charter; or by enabling legislation. Net position restricted by enabling legislation represents legislative restrictions that a party external to the government can compel the

government to honor. For the County, such amounts represent primarily accumulated net position attributed to revenue streams that are restricted for specified purposes in the County Code. This generally includes the Rainy Day Fund, Capital Projects Fund impact fee collections and developer exactions on hand for outside entities; restricted amount for special revenue funds; and ending restricted net assets of the Sanitary District and other enterprise funds.

Such amounts, which are restricted in the government-wide statement of Net Position, are as follows at year-end:

Restricted Amounts Governmental activities $ 13,275,244 Business-type activities:

Debt Service 1,060,134 Total Restricted Amounts $ 14,335,378 Note that unspent bond proceeds of $4,539,897 are included in restricted fund balance for the General Capital Projects Fund. At the Government-Wide level, the unspent bond proceeds are offset by the liability.

10) Net Position/Fund Equity (continued)

In the fund financial statements, fund balances of governmental funds are classified as follows:

Nonspendable – amounts that cannot be spent either because they are not in a spendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable fund balances for the County include inventory, prepaid items, and loans receivable.

Restricted – amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.

Committed – amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Queen Anne’s County Commissioners. The Commissioners are the highest level of decision-making authority for the County.

Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through formal actions such as a County Ordinance approved by the County Commissioners.

Assigned – amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be used for specific purposes. The assignment of funds rests with the County Commissioners. In addition, GASB 54 requires all positive residual amounts in special revenue funds to be reported as assigned.

Unassigned – all other spendable amounts; however, the General Fund is the only fund permitted to have a positive unassigned fund balance. Negative unassigned fund balances may occur in other governmental funds.

The County typically uses restricted fund balances first, followed by committed resources, and then assigned resources, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserves the right to selectively spend unassigned resources first to defer the use of these other classified funds.

11) Property Tax

The County's real property tax is levied each July 1 on the assessed values certified as of that date for all taxable real property located in the County. The levy functions as a lien against the property. Assessed values are established by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation at estimated market value. A revaluation of all property is required to be completed every three years. Taxes are then billed to property owners and collected by the County.

Property represented by delinquent taxes is sold at a public auction in May of the following calendar year, with title transferring after foreclosure proceedings have been completed.

For small businesses that meet certain criteria and also principal residences, an installment plan is offered whereby total tax is paid in two equal installments. The first installment is due by September 30. Beginning October 1, a 1% penalty is charged on the first day of each month that the installment remains unpaid. This 1% penalty is based on the amount of the first installment only. The second installment is due by December 31. Beginning January 1, the 1%

penalty would then include all outstanding balances. The County accepts partial payments.

For non-principal residences, payment is due in full by September 30. Beginning October 1, a penalty is charged for each month that taxes remain unpaid. For new construction, completed and assessed between July 1 and December 31, a supplementary tax is levied equal to half of the full-year levy. Payment in full is due by March 31. Beginning April 1, a penalty is charged for each month that taxes remain outstanding.

NOTE 2 - BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING

Pursuant to the Code of Public Local Laws of Queen Anne's County, the County Commissioners adopt an annual operating budget and real property tax rate prior to July 1 each year. This action, taken after public hearings, provides the spending authority for the fiscal year beginning on July 1. Unexpended and unencumbered appropriation authority expires the following June 30, except in the case of Capital Projects where appropriations lapse only upon completion or

cancellation of each project by the County Commissioners. The appropriated budgets are prepared at the fund, function, and departmental level. Expenditures/expenses may not legally exceed appropriations, based on the level at which they were adopted. For the General Fund, annual expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the departmental level. For all other Governmental Funds, for which annual budgets are adopted, expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the fund

level.

All final budgets are presented as amended. The County Administrator may approve budget amendments of $10,000 or less throughout the year. Amendments greater than $10,000 require the approval of the County Commissioners.

Annual operating budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund (includes the Roads Board) and the following nonmajor governmental funds: Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, Grants Fund, Economic Development Incentive, BRIDGE Fund, Community Partnerships for Children, Law Library, Inmate Welfare, Agricultural Transfer, Rural Legacy, Dredging Special Assessments, Kent Narrows, School Impact Fees Capital Projects,

Fire Company Impact Fees Capital Projects, and Parks and Recreation Impact Fees Capital Projects. Proprietary Fund budgets are adopted for management control only and include all enterprise funds. Budgets are adopted using the same method of accounting as that used for Fund reporting purposes.

Budgets for the General Capital Projects Fund and the Roads Capital Projects Fund reflect multi-year appropriations at the individual project level. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level and appropriations lapse at the completion or cancellation of individual projects. Since these capital projects funds do not adopt an annual budget per project, a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances on a budget-to-actual basis is not

presented for these funds.

No General Fund departments exceeded their legally adopted expenditure budgets for the year ended June 30, 2018.

However, salary reversions are budgeted as a lump sum negative $902,165, but actual amounts are realized in the individual departments and are not reported as a lump sum in the reversions activity.

NOTE 3 – CASH, INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

A. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT AND FIDUCIARY FUNDS

Deposits are maintained in a variety of financial institutions. Statutes authorize the County to invest in obligations of the United States Government, Federal government agency obligations, secured time deposits in Maryland banks, bankers’ acceptances, the Maryland Local Government Investment Pool, money market mutual funds, commercial paper and repurchase agreements secured by direct government or agency obligations.

At year-end, the County Primary Government had deposits of $20,261,149 with local banks (carrying value $21,620,263). Of those balances, $501,011 was insured by federal depository insurance (FDIC). The uninsured balances were fully collateralized by securities placed with the respective banks’ escrow agents and held in the County’s name.

Of these options, the County participates in the Maryland Local Government Investment Pool (MLGIP), which provides all local government units of the state with a safe investment vehicle for short-term investment of funds. The State Legislature created MLGIP with the passage of Article 95 Section 22G, of the Annotated Code of Maryland. PNC Financial manages the MLGIP, under administrative control of the State Treasurer. A MLGIP Advisory Committee of

current participants reviews the activities of the Fund on a quarterly basis and provides suggestions to enhance the pool.

The MLGIP portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Standard and Poors rates the MLGIP as AAAm. The fair value of the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. At June 30, 2018, the County had investments in MLGIP of $72,217,579, which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

As of June 30, 2018, the County’s investments (excluding investments held for retiree health benefits), for both custodial and credit risk purposes, consisted solely of shares in the MLGIP. This investment is not deemed to have either risk and is in conformity with the County’s policy relating to minimal credit risk of investments.

The majority of the Retiree Health Trust investments are invested in the Maryland Association of Counties Pooled OPEB Trust (MACO Trust). The MACO Trust is administered by Davenport & Company LLC, and is a wholly-owned instrumentality of its members. The nine members who are the sole contributors to the Trust consist of the following:

Allegany, St. Mary’s, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties, City of Annapolis, College of Southern Maryland, Town of Bel Air, Talbot County Board of Education, St. Mary’s County Metropolitan Commission, Harford Community College, and Harford County Public Library.

The assets of the Trust are managed by a Board of Trustees and consist of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agencies, corporate and foreign bonds, municipal obligations, taxable fixed income securities, mutual funds, global funds, and international equity securities.

Cash and cash equivalents for the MACO Trust include an investment in a money market mutual fund. At June 30, 2018, the weighted average maturity (WAM) for the Trust’s money market mutual fund investment was 34 days. At June 30, 2018, the short-term rating of the money market mutual fund was AAAm by Standard & Poor’s.

The main objectives of the Trust’s investment policy are the protection of investment principal and maximizing investment income through diversification while assuring financial liquidity. The policy allows for investment in U.S. and Non-U.S. equities, corporate, government, or government agency bonds, non U.S. bonds, Real Estate and Limited Partnerships.

The Trust categorizes its fair value measurements with 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 and gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are

described below:

 Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets, such as dealer or broker markets; and  Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable, such as pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques not

based on market, exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions.

Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the identified cost method.

Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.

Equity securities classified in Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.

The Trust has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2018, of which Queen Anne’s County’s portion was 13.5% of the total:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 30, 2018 Investments by fair value level:

Total $ 21,516,066 $ 10,932,365 $ - $ 3 2,448,431 Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates that will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.

Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The Trust’s investment policy states that the duration of the portfolio should be within 6 months of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The Trusts’ weighted average years to maturity as of June 30, 2018 was 2.3 years.

Credit Risk. The Trust is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in fair value, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Trust bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the fair value of its respective investments. At June 30, 2018 the ratings of the underlying investments of the Trust’s investments were as follows:

The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker-dealer) to a transaction, the Trust will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Trust’s investment policy does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments.

The Trust has all of its assets on deposit with Wilmington Trust Company in connection with its investing and cash management activities. In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of Trust assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

JUNE 30, 2018

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED)

The County expects to receive all receivables listed in the table within one year, excluding the following items.

Intergovernmental receivables include bonds receivable from four other counties. In years 2000 and 2003, Queen Anne’s County sold $2,815,000 and $710,000, respectively, of its general obligation bonds for the purpose of providing the local share of capital projects at Chesapeake College. Five counties, including Queen Anne’s County, provide local support for the College. The other four counties supporting Chesapeake College reimburse Queen Anne’s County for their portion of

the debt service. Bonds are amortized over the 20-year life of each of the original Queen Anne's County Bonds. The current carrying value for the bonds receivable from the other four counties are $257,100 and $169,485, respectively, for a total of $426,585. The College bills and collects from the original five counties an amount sufficient to cover this debt service and reimburses this amount to Queen Anne’s County on a semi-annual basis. In addition to these two receivables

related to Chesapeake College, there is also a receivable of $4.1 million included in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. Details are included on the previous page.

Loans receivable in the amount of $6,369,258 relate to the Housing and Community Services, Impact Fees, and Revolving Loan Special Revenue Funds. Loans receivable in the amount of $5,307,490 for Housing and Community Services will be repaid when the homes are sold, in virtually all cases. These loans support housing rehabilitation and home-ownership.

When the loans are repaid to the County, the funds are then loaned out again to serve the same purpose. Loans for the Revolving Loan Fund in the amount of $82,719 are also repaid over a number of years.

The remaining loan receivable balance of $979,049 relates to school, fire, and parks and recreation impact fees. In July 2007, the County began accepting promissory notes for impact fees, in certain situations, with the understanding that when certificate of occupancy was obtained, these notes would be paid in full. To ensure repayment, the notes attach to the property incurring the impact fee; therefore, payment will be required automatically prior to legal transfer of title.

Income taxes held by the State in the amount of $11,765,523 have been estimated by the State as income tax due for “tax years” 2014 and prior. It may take five years or longer for the State to receive all amounts relating to these “tax years” and remit those monies to the County. However, the State indicates that this is a reasonable estimate of their liability to the County and the County reports this amount in accordance with GAAP.

Special Assessments in the amount of $1,008,342 represent receivables for governmental activities. Part of this amount consists of $115,922 for assessments levied on homeowners to reimburse the County for construction or upgrade of private roads prior to their acceptance into the County Roads System. The other part of this amount consists of $892,420 for assessments levied on homeowners relating to dredging costs. Payment of these assessments is expected over a number of

years.

Restricted Special Assessments in the amount of $968,558 represent restricted receivables for the Sanitary District. These receivables relate to assessments levied on homeowners for the construction of sewer and water lines, as well as for hook up costs. Only the current portion due is billed and the remaining balances are repaid over a number of years, as determined by the original agreement. As the funds are paid back, the County uses the money to repay debt.

NET PENSION LIABILITY, AND COMPENSATED ABSENCES

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

All general obligation bonds are valid and legally binding general obligations of Queen Anne’s County and constitutes an irrevocable pledge of its full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power. Governmental bonds are payable from ad valorem taxes, unlimited as to rate or amount on all real, tangible, personal, and certain intangible property subject to taxation at full rate for local purposes in the County.

Business-type bonds, while representing general obligations of the County government, are to be paid from income earned by the related enterprise fund. Enterprise funds that have such debt are: Sewer Operations, Bay Bridge Airport, Blue Heron Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas.

During fiscal year 2018, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other than Pensions. For governmental funds, the other post-employment benefit obligations are reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these obligations are

reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. Other Post- Employment Benefit Obligation costs in governmental funds are charged to the General Fund. Additional information can be found in Note 14, Other Post-Employment Benefits.

During fiscal year 2015, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. For governmental funds, the net pension liability is reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time.

For enterprise funds, these obligations are reported in the enterprise fund in which the employee charges the majority of their productive time. Net Pension Liability costs in governmental funds are charged to the Governmental Fund in which the employee charges their time. Additional information can be found in Note 12, Retirement Plans.

Compensated absences that mature during the fiscal year, in that they are paid when the employee takes vacation leave or upon the employee’s termination, are typically liquidated from the governmental or enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. They are paid as regular wages. Compensated absences that do not mature during the fiscal year are accrued at year-end as an adjustment to liability for compensated absences. For

governmental funds, these adjustments are reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these adjustments are reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. In the case of grant-funded activities that disallow compensated absences as an eligible cost, they are paid as administrative wages in the same Fund. Compensated

absences in governmental funds are primarily charged to the General Fund or Special Revenue Funds; they are usually not charged to Capital Projects Funds.

C. ISSUANCE OF NEW DEBT

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

On March 27, 2018, Queen Anne's County issued Public Facilities Bonds of 2018 for $16,000,000. These General Obligation Bonds carry interest rates of 3.0 to 5.0 percent and mature serially through 2038. The primary use of the bond proceeds is to provide funding for the new County courthouse, Roads capital projects, and the renovation of Grasonville Elementary School, with minor amounts earmarked for construction of general government capital projects.

Moody’s Investor Service has assigned the rating of Aa1, Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of AAA and Standard & Poor’s also assigned a AAA rating to the Queen Anne’s County 2018 Bonds.

In fiscal year 2017, the County began borrowing funds through the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration for the Southern Kent Island (SKI) Sanitary Project. The total loan amount will be approximately $32 million and funds will be disbursed as the project costs are incurred. Principal payments will begin in 2022 and the loan will be repaid over 30 years at an interest rate of 0.80%. In fiscal year 2018, the County received $10,103,735 as part of this loan. The total

received as of June 30, 2018 was $16,835,432. At completion of the SKI project, it is anticipated that $1,267,000 of the loan with the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration will be forgiven and the County will not need to repay those funds. At that time, the County will clear the debt for the final amount forgiven.

F. LOCAL DEBT POLICY

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

In May 2013, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 13-04, which updated and replaced Resolution No. 09-13, to continue a local debt policy in compliance with Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland. This policy requires that the County’s Director of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology: (1) prepare a six-year capital project plan each year; (2) propose an amount to be transferred from the General Fund operating balances to the General

Capital Projects Fund to serve as pay-as-you-go funding in the latter Fund, in order to lessen the need for future County debt; (3) limit the County’s non-bonded indebtedness to $8.0 million for general operating expenses or capital improvements; and (4) certify that the sum of outstanding general bonded debt and any new general obligation debt is 2.5% or less of the total taxable assessable base and is $3,000 or less per capita. This policy also stipulates that although

there is some flexibility as to the acceptable percentage of debt service to general fund expenditures, and no absolute limit has been established by the rating agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association, anything above 12% of total general fund expenditures would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service. In addition to the debt policy, the Spending Affordability Committee recommended that the limit of debt service to general fund expenditures should be

limited to 10% and the County Commissioners have adopted that as a limit.

Queen Anne’s County has complied with the above policy, and has not had any violations. For calculations relating to this local debt policy, see Table 12-b in the Statistical Section of this document.

NOTE 10 – RESTRICTED ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCES

A. RESTRICTED ASSETS AND RELATED LIABILITIES

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

BUSINESS-TYPE ACTIVITIES

Queen Anne’s County Sanitary District Restricted Fund - The County Commissioners created a restricted fund within the Sanitary District Enterprise Fund in November of 1989 by enabling legislation. Revenue sources to the fund are sales of water and sewer allocations and interest earned on investments. Authorized uses of restricted funds are major capital expenses for repairs, construction, plant expansion, debt service, or other similar uses within the Sanitary District. To date, such funds have been used

almost exclusively for debt service.

Debt Service Fund - Principal and interest payments for water and wastewater debt used to expand the service area are payable primarily from water and sewer special benefit assessments. These assessments, made at the time the expansion is ready for use, are created by enabling legislation and amortized over the same life as underlying debt. They constitute a lien on the served property and may be prepaid at any time. The amount of assessments collectable in future years is

recorded as benefit assessments receivable. A portion of those assessments receivable is not due currently and is recorded as unearned revenue.

Water Quality Revolving Loan Fund debt covenants stipulate that sufficient financial resources must be available in the Debt Service Fund as of June 30 of each year to cover the subsequent year’s debt service payments. If such resources are not available at that time, the covenants require that the County increase service rates, impose benefit assessments, or otherwise increase financial resources so that debt service payments are covered before they are due throughout the year.

The assets and related liabilities restricted for the above purposes at June 30, 2018 are as follows:

NOTE 11 - RISK MANAGEMENT

The County 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 government carries commercial insurance to cover such risks. Certain assets of the County such as roads, bridges, and other infrastructure are not insurable due to their nature.

General Insurance Coverage - The County is a participant in the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT), which is a consortium of Maryland local governments created to provide insurance coverage and services to Maryland local governments. The LGIT provides general liability, public officials’ liability, fleet insurance, and building and property insurance to its members.

Workmen’s compensation and fidelity insurance are obtained from various commercial insurance companies.

Risk Sharing - Subscribers to coverage provided by LGIT share the risk among participants of the pools. As a result, the County's annual premium requirements will be affected by the loss experience of the various insurance pools in which it participates. Also, the County may be subject to additional assessments from time to time. These amounts would be recorded as expenditures when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Conversely, favorable

performance of certain insurance pools may result in reduced premiums.

Health Insurance - Effective with the 1996 fiscal year, the County joined together with other Eastern Shore county governments, libraries, and Boards of Education to form the Eastern Shore of Maryland Education Consortium Health Insurance Alliance (ESMEC), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for health insurance coverage. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, of Maryland, administers this

program.

The agreement for formulation of the alliance provides that the pool will be self-sustaining through member premiums. In addition to the annual premiums, the pooling agreement provides for additional assessments, if needed, but not to exceed certain limits. No additional assessments were needed for fiscal 2018 and, as of the date of this report, it is believed that there are no outstanding claims in excess of the equity of the trust.

Effective January 2017, the County prescription plan moved to a new pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts, which is separate from CareFirst.

Settlements - In fiscal year 2018, the County paid out $29,874 as a result of a settlement involving an employee. For the three years prior, settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for any type of policy in effect.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS

Virtually all full and eligible part-time employees of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, and its related agencies are covered by one of the statewide contributory pension systems of the State of Maryland.

Maryland State Retirement and Pension Systems Organization The State Retirement Agency is the administrator of the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System (the System).

The System was established by the State Personnel and Pensions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland to provide retirement allowances and other benefits to State employees, teachers, police, judges, legislators, and employees of participating governmental units. Responsibility for the System’s administration and operation is vested in a 15 member Board of Trustees. The System is made up of two cost-sharing employer pools: the “State Pool” and the “Municipal

Pool”. The State Pool consists of State agencies, boards of education, community colleges, and libraries. The Municipal Pool consists of participating governmental units that elected to join the System. Neither pool shares in each other’s actuarial liabilities, thus participating governmental units that elect to join the System (the “Municipal Pool”) share in the liabilities of the Municipal Pool only. The State Retirement Agency issues a publicly available financial report that

includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the System. That report may be obtained by writing to the State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland, 120 E. Baltimore Street, Suite 1660, Baltimore, Maryland 21202-1600 or on-line at www.sra.maryland.gov.

The System is comprised of the Teachers’ Retirement and Pension Systems, Employees’ Retirement and Pension Systems, State Police Retirement System, Judges’ Retirement System, and the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System (LEOPS).

The following groups of employees participate in:

Employees Plan Board of Education - regular employees Employees System Board of Education - teachers Teachers System Library Teachers System Queen Anne's County:

Elected officials Employees System Sheriff's Deputies LEOPS Regular employees Employees System The System is a cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan.

Basis of Accounting The System’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For purposes of measuring net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the System and additions to/deductions from the System’s fiduciary net position have been

determined on the same basis as they are reported by the System. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Covered Members Teachers’ Retirement and Pension Systems The Teachers’ Retirement System was established on August 1, 1927, to provide retirement allowances and other benefits to teachers in the State. Effective January 1, 1980, the Teachers’ Retirement System was closed to new members and the Teachers’ Pension System was established. As a result, teachers hired after December 31, 1979, became members of the

Teachers’ Pension System as a condition of employment. On or after January 1, 2005, an individual who is a member of the Teachers’ Retirement System may not transfer membership to the Teachers’ Pension System.

Employees’ Retirement and Pension Systems On October 1, 1941, the Employees’ Retirement System was established to provide retirement allowances and other benefits to State employees, elected and appointed officials and the employees of participating governmental units.

Effective January 1, 1980, the Employees’ Retirement System was essentially closed to new members and the Employees’ Pension system was established. As a result, State employees (other than correctional officers) and employees of participating governmental units hired after December 31, 1979, became members of the Employees’ Pension System as a condition of employment, while all State correctional officers and members of the Maryland General

Assembly continue to be enrolled as members of the Employees’ Retirement System. On or after January 1, 2005, an individual who is a member of the Employees’ Retirement System may not transfer membership to the Employees’ Pension System.

The Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System (LEOPS) The Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System (LEOPS) was established on July 2, 1990, to provide retirement allowances and other benefits for certain State and local law enforcement officers. This System includes both retirement plan and pension plan provisions which are applicable to separate portions of the System’s membership. The retirement plan provisions are only applicable to those members who, on the date they elected to participate in LEOPS, were

members of the Employees’ Retirement System. This System’s pension plan provisions are applicable to all other participating law enforcement officers.

Summary of Significant Plan Provisions All plan benefits are specified by the State Personnel and Pensions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. For all individuals who are members of the Employees’, Teachers’, Correctional Officers’ or State Police Retirement System on or before June 30, 2011, retirement allowances are computed using both the highest three years’ Average Final Compensation (AFC) and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. For individuals who become

members of the State Police Retirement System or the Correctional Officers’ Retirement System on or after July 1, 2011, retirement allowances are computed using both the highest five years’ AFC and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. For all individuals who are members of the pension systems of the State Retirement and Pension System on or before June 30, 2011, pension allowances are computed using both the highest three consecutive

years’ AFC and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. For any individual who becomes a member of one of the pension systems on or after July 1, 2011, pension allowances are computed using both the highest five consecutive year’s AFC and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. Various retirement options are available under each system which ultimately determines how a retiree’s benefit allowance will be computed.

Some of these options require actuarial reductions based on the retiree’s and/or designated beneficiary’s attained age and similar actuarial factors.

Beginning July 1, 2011, the member contribution rate was increased for members of the Teachers’ Pension System and Employees’ Pension Systems from 5% to 7% and from 4% to 6% respectively, in fiscal year 2013 and 7% in the fiscal year 2014 and beyond for members of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System. Beginning July 1, 2013, the member contribution rate was increased for members of the Judges’ Retirement System from 6% to 8%.

In Addition, the benefit attributable to service on or after July 1, 2011 in many of the pension systems now will be subject to different cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) that is based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and capped at 2.5% or 1.0% based on whether the market value investment return for the preceding calendar year was higher or lower than the investment return assumption used in the valuation.

A brief summary of the retirement eligibility requirements of and the benefits available under the various systems in effect are as follows:

Service Retirement Allowances A member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System is generally eligible for full retirement benefits upon the earlier of attaining age 60 or accumulating 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. The annual retirement allowance equals 1/55 (1.81%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by the number of years of accumulated creditable service.

An individual who is a member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2011, is eligible for full retirement benefits upon the earlier of attaining age 62, with specified years of eligibility service, or accumulating 30 years of eligibility service regardless of age. An individual who becomes a member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2011, is eligible for full retirement benefits if the member’s

combined age and eligibility service equals at least 90 years or if the member is at least age 65 and has accrued at least 10 years of eligibility service.

For most individuals who retired from either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2006, the annual pension allowance equals 1.2% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated prior to July 1, 1998, plus 1.4% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated subsequent to June 30, 1998. With certain exceptions, for individuals who are members of the

Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2006, the annual pension allowance equals 1.2% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated prior to July 1, 1998, plus 1.8% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated subsequent to June 30, 1998.

Beginning July 1, 2011, any new member of the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System shall earn an annual pension allowance equal to 1.5% of the member’s AFC multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated as a member of the Teachers’ or Employee’s Pension System.

Exceptions to these benefit formulas apply to members of the Employees’ Pension System, who are employed by a participating governmental unit that does not provide the 1998 or 2006 enhanced pension benefits or the 2011 reformed pension benefits. The pension allowance for those members equals 0.8% of the member’s AFC up to the social security integration level (SSIL), plus 1.5% of the member’s AFC in excess of the SSIL, multiplied by the number of years of

accumulated creditable service. For the purpose of computing pension allowances, the SSIL is the average of the social security wage bases for the past 35 calendar years ending with the year the retiree separated from service.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

A member of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System is eligible for full retirement benefits upon the earlier of attaining age 50 or accumulating 25 years of eligibility service regardless of age. The annual retirement allowance for a member who is covered under the retirement plan provisions equals 1/50 (2.0%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by the number of years of accumulated creditable service up to 30 years, plus 1/100 (1.0%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by

the number of years of accumulated creditable service in excess of 30 years. For members subject to the pension provisions, full service pension allowances equal 2.0% of AFC up to a maximum of 60% (30 years of credit).

Vested Allowances Any individual who is a member of the State Retirement and Pension System on or before June 30, 2011 (other than a judge or a legislator), and who terminates employment before attaining retirement age but after accumulating 5 years of eligibility service is eligible for a vested retirement allowance. Any individual who joins the State Retirement and Pension System on or after July 1, 2011 (other than a judge or a legislator), and who terminates employment before

attaining retirement age but after accumulating 10 years of eligibility service is eligible for a vested retirement allowance.

A member, who terminates employment prior to attaining retirement age and before vesting, receives a refund of all member contributions and interest.

Early Service Retirement A member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System may retire with reduced benefits after completing 25 years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by 0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree either attains age 60 or would have accumulated 30 years of creditable service, whichever is less. The maximum reduction for a Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System member is 30%.

An individual who is a member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2011 may retire with reduced benefits upon attaining age 55 with a least 15 years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by 0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree attains age 62. The maximum reduction for these members of the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System is 42%. An individual who becomes a member of either the Teachers’ or

Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2011, may retire with reduced benefits upon attaining age 60 with at least 15 years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by 0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree attains age 65. The maximum reduction for these members of the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pensions System is 30%.

Members of the State Police, Judges’, Law Enforcement Officers’ and Local Fire and Police Systems are not eligible for early service benefits.

Disability and Death Benefits Generally, a member covered under retirement plan provisions who is permanently disabled after 5 years of service receives a service allowance based on a minimum percentage (usually 25%) of the member’s AFC. A member covered under pension plan provisions who is permanently disabled after accumulating 5 years of eligibility service receives a service allowance computed as if service had continued with no change in salary until the retiree attained age 62. A

member (other than a member of the Maryland General Assembly or a judge, both of which are ineligible for accidental disability benefits) who is permanently and totally disabled as the result of an accident occurring in the line of duty receives 2/3 (66.7%) of the member’s AFC plus an annuity based on all member contributions and interest. Death benefits are equal to a member’s annual salary as of the date of death plus all member contributions and interest.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

Adjusted Retirement Allowances Retirement and pension allowances are increased annually to provide for changes in the cost of living according to prescribed formula. Such adjustments for retirees are based on the annual change in the CPI. For the Teachers’ and Employees’ Retirement Systems (TRS/ERS) the method by which the annual COLA’s are computed depends upon elections made by members who were active on July 1, 1984 (or within 90 days of returning to service, for members who

were inactive on July 1, 1984) enabling the member to receive either an unlimited COLA , a COLA limited to 5% or a two part combination COLA depending upon the COLA election made by the member.

Effective July 1, 1998, for Teachers’, Employees’, and LEOPS retirees, the adjustment is capped at a maximum 3% compounded and is applied to all benefits which have been in payment for one year. The annual increase to pension allowances for Employees’ Pension System retirees who were employed by a participating governmental unit that does not provide enhanced pension benefits are limited to 3% of the initial allowance.

However, beginning July 1, 2011, for benefits attributable to service earned on or after July 1, 2011, in all of the systems except the judges’ and legislators’ systems, the adjustment is capped in the lesser of 2.5% or the increase in CPI if the most recent calendar year market value rate of return was greater than or equal to the assumed rate. The adjustment is capped at the lesser of 1% or the increase in CPI if the market value return was less than the assumed rate of return. In

years in which COLAs would be less than zero due to a decline in the CPI, retirement allowances will not be adjusted.

COLAs in succeeding years are adjusted until the difference between the negative COLA that would have applied and the zero COLA is fully recovered.

Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation In the 2016 actuarial valuation, 2.90% general, 3.20% wage. In the 2017 actuarial valuation, 2.65% general, 3.15% wage.

Salary Increases In the 2016 actuarial valuation, 3.20% to 9.20%. In the 2017 actuarial valuation, 3.15% to 9.15%.

Investments The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and

by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of geometric real rates of return were adopted by the Board of Trustees after considering input from the System’s investment consultant(s) and actuary(s). For each major asset class that is included in the System’s target asset allocation, these best estimates are summarized in the following table:

Long-Term Expected Real Rate Asset Class Target Allocation of Return Public Equity 36% 5.3% Private Equity 11% 7.0% Rate Sensitive 21% 1.2% Credit Opportunity 9% 3.6% Real Assets 15% 5.7% Absolute Return 8% 3.1% Total 100% The above was the Board of Trustees adopted asset allocation policy and best estimate of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class as of June 30, 2017.

For the year ended June 30, 2017, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of the pension plan investment expense, was 10.0%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

Discount rate A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. The single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the

member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

In accordance with Maryland Senate Bill 1301, Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2012, the Board is required to pay the State a specified percentage of the normal cost portion of the total pension cost for teachers. The normal cost is the portion of the total retirement benefit cost that is allocated to the current year of the employee’s service. The specified percentage increases each fiscal year, until fiscal year 2017, when the Board will be paying 100% of the normal

cost for each teacher.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions Because the State of Maryland pays the unfunded liability for the Teachers’ Systems on behalf of the Board and Library, and the Board pays the normal cost for the Teachers’ Systems, the Board and Library are not required to record its’ share of the unfunded pension liability for the Teachers’ Systems, the State of Maryland is required to record that liability. The

Board is required to record a liability for the Employees’ Systems.

At June 30, 2018, the Board of Education reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability that reflected a reduction for State pension support provided to the Board. The amount recognized by the Board as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the related State support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the Board were as follows:

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The County’s proportion of the net pension liability was calculated as follows by the System(s):

1. Calculate the net pension liability for the entire System. For purposes of funding the System, all calculations are

determined on an actuarial basis and are completed through the development of rates based on two separate asset pools, one for employees of the State of Maryland (the State) and one for the Participating Governmental Units (“PGUs”). These pools are kept on an actuarial basis and allow for the State to fund only State employees and PGUs to fund only PGU employees. For the accounting of the System, however, the assets of the System

are accounted in a single pool which is audited annually.

2. Determine the total contributions to the System by the State and PGUs, inclusive of any underfunding of

contributions.

3. Based on the number of participants at each Board of Education, calculate the difference between what each

Board would have contributed if they funded at the rate of all other participating governments and what the Board actually contributed. The difference between what the Board contributed and what they would have contributed if they funded at the rate of the other participating governments, is then added to the total contribution to the System, to calculate the System’s adjusted contribution.

4. Calculate for each participating government, their percentage of the adjusted System contribution by dividing

the total adjusted System contribution into each primary government contribution.

5. Provide each PGU its adjusted percentage of contribution and the System’s net pension liability and other

related amounts.

NOTE 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The County offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all County employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.

Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.

All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan; all property and rights purchased with those amounts; and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are solely the property and rights of the participants. The County has no liability for losses under the plan.

Investments are managed by the plan’s administrator based on several different investment options, or combinations thereof. The choice of the investment option(s) to be used is made by each participant. The County has no management control over the assets of the plan. Accordingly, per GASB Statement No. 32, the assets of the plan are not included in these financial statements.

NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust (OPEB Trust) On June 23, 2009, the County enacted County Ordinance No. 09-12, which established a Trust entity entitled “Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust – County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County, County Commissioners of Kent County, and Participating Agencies” (OPEB Trust). The purpose of the OPEB Trust is to: (1) fund costs of health insurance and other post-employment benefits to eligible retirees of the primary government, the Queen Anne’s County

Board of Education, and the Queen Anne’s County Free Library; (2) accumulate and invest financial resources for this purpose; (3) provide health insurance and other post-employment benefits for eligible retirees; and (4) provide related administrative services.

Other agencies and political subdivisions have the right to participate in this Trust now and in the future. Such unrelated entities may deposit funds with the Trust for investment purposes related to their OPEB plans. At June 30, 2018, funds in the amount of $157,645 were reported as a liability of the Trust to Kent County, Maryland. Kent County is holding these assets for the benefit of their plan participants.

Plan Reporting The measurement date for GASB 74 is the Employer’s fiscal year end, June 30, 2018. Plan assets (Fiduciary Net Position) are measured as of this date. The Total OPEB Liability (TOL) as of this date is based on an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2017, with adjustments made for the one-and-a-half year difference. Adjustments include Service Cost, Interest on Total OPEB Liability, and expected benefit payments during the year. This is also known as a roll-forward.

Under GASB 74, the Net OPEB Liability (NOL) is established as the difference between the Total OPEB Liability and the Plan Fiduciary Net Position. The NOL is very much like the unfunded actuarial accrued liability that is developed for the funding valuation, with adjustments for any time between the valuation date and the measurement date.

Plan description (Continued) Plan Changes Since Prior Valuation There have been no changes in eligibility or cost sharing provisions since the prior valuation, which included the retiree payment changes outlined above.

Actuarial Information Actuarial assumptions The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2017, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

 Investment Return: 6.00%, net of investment expense and including inflation  Healthcare Trend: 6.00% initially, grading down to 4.30% ultimate Mortality rates are based on the RP 2000 tables with Scale AA applied on a generational basis. RP 2000 Disabled tables are used for those on disability, if applicable.

Changes in Actuarial assumptions There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year, except the change in discount rate due to an updated fund availability analysis.

Actuarial Methods for Determining Employer Contributions The same economic and demographic assumptions are used for both funding and financial reporting purposes under GASB 74/75.

The Entry Age method is used for accounting/GASB purposes, therefore all of the actuarial figures within this Report are based on it. Actuarially Determined Contributions are also based on the Entry Age method, with a closed level percentage of payroll amortization of the unfunded liability (21 years remaining).

Expected Return The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected

inflation. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation process, by which a (downward) risk adjustment is applied to the baseline expected return.

Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018, and the final investment return assumption, are summarized in the following table:

The

money weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts invested.

Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 5.75%. The County’s funding expectations/policy is to contribute 50% of the Actuarially Determined Contribution in fiscal year 2018, then increase this percentage 10% each year until the actuarial cost is being contributed in full annually. It is expected that benefits will be paid from the trust when a 50% funding level is reached. Based on this information, we project that benefits will be financed on a pay as you

go basis until 2029, then from the trust there forward.

Therefore, the expected trust return of 6.00% is blended with the 20-year Aa bond rate* of 3.62%. The blended rate is 5.75%. The prior rate was 5.78%.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

Plan description – The Queen Anne’s County Public Schools Retiree Health Plan (QACPSRHP) is a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan that is administered by the Board of Education and covers retired employees of the Board and their dependents. This plan does not include the pension benefits discussed in Note 5. The Plan does not issue a separate, publicly available report.

The Queen Anne’s County Public Schools Retiree Life Insurance Plan (QACPSRLIP) is a single-employer defined benefit life insurance plan that is administered by the Board of Education and covers retired employees of the Board.

This plan does not include the pension benefits discussed in Note 5. The Plan does not issue a separate, publicly available report.

Benefits provided – It is the Board’s policy to contribute a portion of the cost of including its retired teachers and administrators in its group major medical insurance program. The Board’s contribution can be applied to the coverage of the retiree, spouse, and dependents, but it is limited to the amounts below and it ceases upon the death of the retiree.

Teachers are required to provide at least ten years of service to the Board before becoming eligible for retiree healthcare benefits. Once ten years of service is reached, the Board covers 36 percent of the cost of the individual’s EPO health plan. The percentage subsidized by the Board increases 3.6 percent per year for every year of service in excess of ten. At 25 years of service, the maximum subsidy of 90 percent is reached.

The plan for administrators is similar to that for teachers, with the following exceptions. Administrators are required to provide at least five years of service to the Board before becoming eligible for retiree healthcare benefits. Once five years of service is reached, the Board covers 35 percent of the cost of the individual’s EPO health plan. The percentage subsidized by the Board increases 5.5 percent per year for every year of service in excess of five. At 15 years of service,

the maximum subsidy of 90 percent is reached.

In addition, the Board is contractually obligated to pay the full cost of medical insurance for certain retired directors, superintendents, and their spouses.

The Board also pays the cost of providing term life insurance for its retirees in varying amounts depending upon length of service and date of retirement. The benefits payable upon death are $5,000 (fixed) for 5 to 25 years of service or $50,000 (maximum-based on annual salary at retirement) for over 25 years of service. There is a reduction of benefit of 25% at age 70 and a benefit reduction of 50% at age 75 and beyond.

Employees covered by benefit terms – At July 1, 2017, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Net OPEB Liability The Board’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

Actuarial assumptions – The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:

Inflation 2.8% Salary Increases 3.0% Investment Rate of Return 3.58% Healthcare Cost Trend Rates 6.0% initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 3.7% Mortality rates were based on the RP2014 White Collar with MP2014 for active healthy participants, and RP2014 Disabled Mortality (set forward 1 Year for Males) for inactive disabled participants.

The long-term expected rate of return on the OBEP plan investments was determined using the money market rate of return at Shore United Bank. The OPEB plan has invested 100% of the funds in a money market account earning an annual percent yield of .20%.

Discount rate – The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.58%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that Board contributions will be to fund current contribution levels. Based on those assumptions, the unfunded rate was used. The unfunded rate is determined by using the 20 year Tax exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher. Any increase in the discount rate due to the assets

of the trust is not deemed material. Therefore, the discount rate was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

The discount rate changed from the prior measurement date. The discount rate was 2.85% for the June 30, 2016 measurement date.

LIBRARY

Plan description The Library participates in an agent multiple-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Plan”) that covers retired employees of Queen Anne’s County, the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education, and the Library. A Trust entity was established in June, 2009 entitled Other Post- Employment Benefit Trust – County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County, County Commissioners of Kent County, and Participating Agencies (the “Trust”).

Unrelated agencies and political subdivisions have the right to participate in this Trust and deposit funds for investment purposes. Accordingly, funds are being held in the Trust on behalf of Kent County, Maryland for the benefit of their plan participants.

The Trust assets are managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of five members: two representing Queen Anne’s County Government, two representing Queen Anne’s County Board of Education, and one representing Kent County. In lieu of separate financial statements for the Trust, Queen Anne’s County presents the Trust entity’s complete financial statements in their Combined Annual Financial Report.

Benefits provided The plan reimburses eligible retirees for a portion of healthcare insurance based on years-of-service ranging from $3,000 for 15 years of service to $4,400 for 25 plus years of service. The retiree pays the remaining premium, including the cost of eligible dependents. Participants must meet the eligibility requirements of the State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland, which are age 55 with 15 years of service, age 62 with 5 years of service, or 30 years of service (regardless of

Actuarial assumptions (Continued) There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected

inflation. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation process, by which a (downward) risk adjustment is applied to the baseline expected return.

Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the OPEB plan’s target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018, and the final investment return assumption, are summarized in the following table:

Long-Term Target Expected Real Asset Class Allocation Return - Portfolio Domestic Equity 48% 5.45% International Funds 13% 5.95% Fixed Income – U.S. 33% 2.95% Global Funds 6% 4.50% Cash Equivalents 0.75% Total Weighted Average Real Return 100% 4.63% Plus Inflation 2.50% Total Return w/o Adjustment 7.13% Risk Adjustment -1.13% Total Expected Return 6.00% Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 5.75%. The County’s funding expectations/policy is to

contribute 50% of the actuarially determined contribution in fiscal year 2018, then increase 10% each year until the actuarial cost is being contributed in full annually. It is expected that benefits will be paid from the trust when a 50% funding level is reached. Based on this information, it is projected that benefits will be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis until 2029, then from the trust there forward. Therefore, the expected trust return of 6% is blended with the 20-year AA

bond rate of 3.62%. The blended rate is 5.75%.

NOTE 15 – DEFICIT EQUITY BALANCES

The following Non-Major Governmental Funds ended the year with deficit balances in unassigned fund balance:

Housing and Community Services Fund The Housing and Community Services Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $6,897 as of June 30, 2018. This negative balance will clear itself as the balance of outstanding loans receivable in the Housing and Community Services Fund decreases.

Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund The Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $41,861 as of June 30, 2018. This negative fund balance is the result of an overpayment to a particular fire department, and will decrease over time as the incoming revenues offset the overpayment.

The following Enterprise Funds ended the year with deficit equity balances:

Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund The Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net position of $1,591,350 as of June 30, 2018.

Golf Course Enterprise Fund The Golf Course Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net position of $752,076 as of June 30, 2018.

The County Commissioners established the guideline that the Enterprise Funds should be self-supporting, to the extent possible. Therefore, a variety of measures are being evaluated in order to attempt the goal of balancing the Enterprise Funds.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

Grants - The County and its component units are recipients of various federal and state grant and/or loan programs, which are governed by various rules and regulations of the grantor agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs are subject to audit and adjustment by these grantor agencies. If the County has not complied with the rules and regulations governing the programs, refunds of money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivable as of

June 30, 2018 may be impaired. The County’s management believes that there are no significant contingent liabilities that must be recorded relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing these programs. No funds were required to be returned in fiscal year 2018.

Further, certain grants for capital projects, such as various park projects funded by the State, must be used for the intended purpose of the grant. If, at any time during the useful lives of these projects, the facilities cease to operate in their intended capacity, the County may be required to reimburse the granting agency that portion of the grant or note that is equal to the percentage of useful life remaining. The County’s Management believes that no such grant

reimbursements will be needed.

In fiscal year 2010, the County’s Department of Housing and Community Services received a grant of $350,000 from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. This Maryland Neighborhood Conservation Initiative (NCI) Grant provided funding to be used for the acquisition and purchase of foreclosed properties for resale to qualifying homebuyers, as well as the issuance of zero percent deferred payment loans to eligible critical service workers. Per the

terms of the agreement, the grantee may reuse funds for these same activities until June 30, 2013. Funds returned to the County from program participants after June 30, 2013 must be returned to the state. Therefore, this grant has been recorded as a pass-through grant, with the County contingently liable for the return of these funds to the state at some point in time after June 30, 2013. During Fiscal Year 2014, the County identified $69,569 in funds that were required to

be returned to the grantor per grant provisions. No funds were required to be returned in fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2018.

In accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, the County has committed certain fund balances for future construction projects. In the General Capital Projects Fund, a total of $2,571,804 has been committed, including $855,793 for Economic Development, $661,378 for rubble surcharge, and $1,054,633 for site improvements pursuant to agreements with local developers. In the Roads

Capital Projects Fund, $615,450 has been contributed by developers and is committed to fund infrastructure improvements.

Income Tax Contingency - On May 18, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States decided against the State of Maryland in Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland v. Wynne Et Ux. Under state law, residents who pay income tax to another state for income earned in that other state are allowed a credit against their Maryland state income tax but not against the so-called piggy-back tax of the county or municipality where they reside. Plaintiffs argued that not granting a

credit against the local income tax is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. By a 5 to 4 vote, the Supreme Court found for the plaintiffs holding generally that the state law violates what is known as the Dormant Commerce Clause. This decision means that Maryland counties, including Queen Anne’s County, need to reserve funds against refund claims by certain taxpayers (particularly S corporation shareholders) dating back to Tax Year 2007. The County estimates that it needs to

reserve $801,900 against these potential claims. The County plans to use $801,900 in existing reserves to finance such claims. The County estimates that future loss of revenues as a result of the Wynne Case will be absorbed through the normal budgeting process.

Based on the findings, Queen Anne’s County reduced the receivable from the State for income taxes and the offsetting deferred inflows by the estimated fiscal impact for the County for tax years going back to 2009 which totaled $801,900 including interest. The adjustment does not change the total fund balance for the General Fund. Since the County already received the money in income taxes in prior years, the amount of anticipated liability for the Wynne Case impact on the

County is assigned in the General Fund. When the State begins taking the funds back, the County will release the amount from the assigned fund balance. The amount of anticipated liability is based on assessments provided by the Maryland Comptroller’s Office and the County believes these figures to be within reason.

Under Maryland law, taxpayers are generally eligible for interest on certain tax refunds calculated at an annual rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) three percentage points above the average prime rate of interest or (ii) 13%. In 2014, the Maryland General Assembly adopted legislation that set the annual interest rate for an income tax refund that is a result of the final decision under the Wynne case to a percent equal to the average prime rate of interest. This legislation

substantially lowers the interest rate on tax refunds due as a result of the Wynne decision. Further, the legislation was intended to be effective retroactively. On November 13, 2015, lawyers for Michael J. Holzheid filed a class action complaint, Michael J. Holzheid v. Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland, et al, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City challenging the state legislation. Other taxpayers may also file claims or appeals challenging the state legislation. If such

claims or appeals are successful, the estimated amount of interest on refunds owed by the County would increase.

NOTE 17 – JOINT VENTURE

In 1991, the County Commissioners, in conjunction with Talbot, Caroline, and Kent Counties, entered into a regional partnership known as the Midshore Regional Landfill Joint Venture. This venture was formed to provide a long-term, solid waste management solution for the four-county area. As part of the agreement, each of the four Counties agreed to host a solid waste facility for a twenty year period, giving the venture a total duration of eighty years. In 1991, the

Midshore Regional Landfill opened in Talbot County and served the waste management needs of the four-County area for twenty years. This facility, owned and operated by the Maryland Environmental Service (MES), closed on December 31, 2010. The second Midshore facility, Midshore II, opened in Caroline County in January 2011 and is fully operational. After the facility in Caroline County reaches capacity, another landfill will be constructed in Queen Anne's

County, with Kent County to follow in turn. Each County is required to, and has, set aside sufficient land to construct a landfill within their borders. The agreement expires when the last of the four landfills is closed.

Queen Anne’s County has a 35.69% financial interest in the Midshore Regional Landfill. In the event that expenditures exceed revenues, the County is obligated to cover the deficiency in proportion to its financial interest; however, to date additional funding from the County has not been required nor does management anticipate it.

During fiscal year 2011, the landfill located in Talbot County, Midshore I, was closed. As of June 30, 2018, total closure and post closure costs for Midshore I was estimated at approximately $1.7 million. Midshore II, located in Caroline County, was 20.16% filled. Closure and post closure costs for Midshore II are estimated at approximately $16.9 million.

Therefore, the total closure and post closure costs for both landfills are $18.6 million, with approximately $6.6 million attributable to Queen Anne’s County. These costs are paid from tipping fees of acceptable waste delivered by or for the account of the counties. It is currently expected that sufficient funds will be available from landfill revenues to pay future closure and post closure costs. MES has accrued and reported a long-term liability of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2018,

determined by the estimated useful life of the landfill.

Similar to the post closure costs, each of the participating Counties is contingently liable for the debt related to the new facility, Midshore II. Midshore II was funded with project revenue bonds totaling $18.7 million. As of June 30, 2018, $6.7 million is attributable to Queen Anne’s County in the event of a default.

Each County is required to place its municipal waste in the landfill. The facility is also available to commercial waste disposal firms at the same price per ton as charged to the County governments. Queen Anne's County paid $323,818 in tipping fees to the facility during fiscal 2018.

MES has satisfied its financial assurance requirements based upon the local government financial ratio tests of the project participants as of June 30, 2018. MES expects to satisfy these requirements as of June 30, 2019 using the same criteria.

Due to inflation and changes in technology, laws, and regulations, estimated closure and post closure care costs may change in the future. Financial Statements of the Landfill can be obtained from MES located at 259 Najoles Road, Millersville, MD 21108.

NOTE 18 – POLLUTION REMEDIATION OBLIGATIONS

During fiscal year 2009, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations.

During a prior fiscal year, 2003, the County agreed to a voluntary Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) testing program for underground fuel tanks located at the County’s Department of Public Works’ fuel depot. This testing program was and still is approved by the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE).

Since the testing program began in 2003, the County incurred a total of $425 thousand in expenses, including $14 thousand in fiscal year 2018, to comply with the provisions of the program. Costs covered remediation work and consulting fees; the latter for testing, studies, and monitoring. Remediation efforts included demolition and removal of the existing fuel depot at the Public Works Centreville Shop; remediation of the soils via excavation; offsite controlled

disposal and backfill; installation of monitoring wells; in situ chemical oxidation and dual phase extraction; attorney’s fees and miscellaneous environmental consulting services.

In May 2010, MDE requested the County devise a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to address contamination concerns at the fuel depot site. In August 2010, MDE approved the County’s CAP work which included the installation of additional monitoring wells and one year of monitoring, sampling, testing and furnishing of those reports to MDE.

In November 2011, due to uneven results from the prior year’s monitoring tests, MDE requested the County submit a technical plan to conduct an initial site injection, a measure which included the application of decontaminating chemicals to the soil in an effort to determine the dosage rate and the corresponding reduction in pollutants that could be achieved.

Based on the plan approved by MDE, the County awarded a contract for the initial injection, and performed the remediation work in the summer of 2012. Since the results of this initial injection did not achieve the desired effects, a follow up plan is underway which includes continued quarterly monitoring, sampling, and testing. Also, communications are underway to seek closure of this site from MDE.

On November 6, 2013, during routine quarterly monitoring, Liquid Phase Hydrocarbon (LPH) was encountered in only MW-2A. MDE was properly notified and with their concurrence, the LPH was extracted from the well and disposed of legally. The County was subsequently directed by MDE to perform weekly gauging of MW-2A and others on the site to determine if the rebound would exceed 0.50 feet of LPW and if any of the other monitoring wells (MW) had LPW

present. LPH was not detected in any other MW and rebound did not approach 0.50 of LPW in MW-2A. Pursuant to an April 1, 2014 letter from MDE, the County was directed to perform an Enhanced Fluid Recovery (EFR) in MW-2A and follow-up with subsequent well gauging and monitoring because of the continued presence of LPH in MW-2A. This procedure was conducted in compliance with MDE on April 23, 2014.

In December of 2014, a leak was discovered at the 10,000 gallon fuel oil UST for the office building. MDE required the removal of the tank and mitigation of the contaminated soils and ground water. The tank has been replaced with a compliant above ground 1,500 gallon fuel oil storage tank. This work was completed, including compliant disposal of all soils by May 2015. MDE subsequently directed the County to install two additional monitoring wells and to abandon the

former injection wells on-site.

The County and MDE met in February 2018 to review project data and to discuss details for the project closeout. The presence of LPH in MW-2A continues to be monitored, fluctuates in depth, and currently appears to be recoverable only in minimal amounts. The County is to continue with the approved MDE monitoring program which includes: weekly sampling of MW2A and monthly sampling of all other wells. These samples are collected by County staff. In addition,

Chesapeake Geosciences will collect samples, test and provide reports in November 2018 and May 2019 at a cost of $12,065. The County will continue discussions with MDE regarding the project closeout in Spring 2019.

The estimated costs over the next year are not material, and thus no liability has been recorded at this time. None of these outlays met the requirements for capitalization noted in GASB Statement 49 and they were not capitalized.

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS – OPEB PLAN

Actuarial assumptions The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2017, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Investment Return: 6.00%, net of investment expense and including inflation Healthcare Trend: 6.00% initially, grading down to 4.30% ultimate Mortality rates are based on the RP 2000 tables with Scale AA applied on a generational basis. RP 2000 Disabled tables are used for those on disability, if applicable.

Changes in Actuarial assumptions There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year, except the change in discount rate due to an updated fund availability analysis.

Actuarial Methods for Determining Employer Contributions The same economic and demographic assumptions are used for both funding and financial reporting purposes under GASB 74/75.

The Entry Age method is used for accounting/GASB purposes, therefore all of the actuarial figures within this Report are based on it. Actuarially Determined Contributions are also based on the Entry Age method, with a closed level percentage of payroll amortization of the unfunded liability (21 years remaining).

BUDGETARY COMPARISONS FOR THE GENERAL FUND

Required Supplementary Information provides budget-to-actual comparisons for the General Fund. Budgets are adopted using the same method of accounting as that used for reporting purposes, i.e. according to generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States of America (GAAP).

assets; and (3) to the extent that funds are not borrowed, finance the cost of expansion of physical facilities.

STATISTICAL SECTION

The Statistical Section, which fully incorporates information mandated by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section, presents detailed information for the primary government in the following areas, as a context for understanding what the information in the Financial Section says about the County’s overall financial health:

FINANCIAL TRENDS – Information to help the reader understand how the County’s financial performance and well-being have changed over time.

REVENUE CAPACITY – Information to help the reader assess the County’s most significant local revenue sources – the property tax and income tax.

DEBT CAPACITY – Information to help the reader assess the affordability of the County’s current levels of outstanding debt and the County’s ability to issue additional debt in the future.

DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC INFORMATION – Indicators to help the reader understand the environment within which the County’s financial activities take place.

OPERATING INFORMATION – Service and infrastructure data to help the reader understand how the information in the County’s financial report relates to the services the County provides and the activities it performs.

Many of these tables cover more than two fiscal years and present data from outside the accounting records. Therefore, the Statistical Section is unaudited.

NOTES:

* Government-wide net position information is reported on the accrual basis of accounting.

* Accounting standards require that net position be reported in three components in the financial

statements: net investment in capital assets, restricted; and unrestricted. Net position is considered restricted when (1) an external party, such as the state or federal government, places a restriction on how the resources may be used, or (2) enabling legislation is enacted by the County.

* Source: Statement of Net Position

(1) In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported negative unrestricted amounts for some years.

This is due to the fact that the County issues general obligation bonded debt for purposes of capital construction on behalf of the Queen Anne's County Board of Education. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported the following:

Government-wide unrestricted (deficit) net position would have been:

Unrestricted (deficit) net position reported above $ (26,672,299) $ (45,795,597) $ (61,193,944) $ (32,095,241) $ (55,058,334) Debt issued for capital on behalf of others 50,291,243 57,677,186 72,437,047 68,278,842 63,283,726 County (deficit) net position absent the effect of this relationship $ 23,618,944 $ 11,881,589 $ 11,243,103 $ 36,183,601 $ 8,225,392

(2) In fiscal year 2013, the County consolidated two Enterprise funds into the General Fund. This consolidation resulted in a total net position change of $539,220 between Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities.

The FY2012 Net Position has been reclassified to show this change.

(3) FY2013 Net Position of Governmental Activities was restated in fiscal year 2014.

(4) FY2014 Net Position of Governmental and Business-Type Activities was restated in fiscal year 2015.

NOTES:

* Government-wide net position information is reported on the accrual basis of accounting.

* Source: Statement of Activities.

(1) Net (expense)/revenue is the difference between the expenses and program revenues of a function or program. It indicates

the degree to which a function or program is supported with its own fees and program-specific grants versus its reliance upon funding from taxes and general revenues. Numbers in parentheses indicate that expenses were greater than program revenues and therefore general revenues were needed to finance that function or program. Numbers without parentheses mean that program revenues were more than sufficient to cover expenses.

(2) See Table 2-b for detail of General Tax Revenues.

(3) Beginning in FY12, Parks & Recreation governmental activities are included in public works.

(4) Prior to FY13, this section included data for the Golf Course, Recreation Programs, Public Landings,

and Property Management Funds. Beginning in FY13, this section only includes Golf Course Fund data.

(5) Prior to FY13, this section only included data for the Public Marinas Funds. Beginning in FY13, this section includes

data for both Public Marinas and Public Landings, as these funds were combined to form one fund.

Table 12-b 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Computation of Local Debt Limit, as Authorized under Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland and per criteria established by Queen Anne's County Resolution No. 13-04, as adopted May 2013.

CALCULATION PER FIRST FINANCIAL CRITERIA:

The sum of all outstanding and new general obligation and/or bonded debt is 2.5% or less of the total taxable assessed base.

Total Taxable Assessed Base (1) $ 7,083,072,750 $ 7,580,931,277 $ 7,740,096,715 $ 7,685,372,199 $ 7,620,480,255 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% of Total Taxable Assessed Base $ 177,076,819 $ 189,523,282 $ 193,502,418 $ 192,134,305 $ 190,512,006 LESS Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt applicable to limit (2) (3) Enterprise Funds' Debt - Bonds $ 3,458,660 $ 3 ,445,366 $ 3 ,458,828 $ 2 ,936,543 $ 2,490,475

CALCULATION PER SECOND FINANCIAL CRITERIA:

The sum of all outstanding and new general obligation and/or bonded debt is $3,000 or less per capita.

Total County Population (4) 4 7,091 48,650 47,899 47,798 4 8,650 $3,000 Per Capita $ 3 ,000 $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 3 ,000 $ 141,273,000 $ 145,950,000 $ 143,697,000 $ 143,394,000 $ 145,950,000 LESS Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt (1) $ 68,783,648 $ 9 3,064,880 $ 107,321,189 $ 100,953,062 $ 93,729,330 $3,000 Per Capita in Excess of Total Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt $ 72,489,352 $ 5 2,885,120 $ 3 6,375,811 $ 4 2,440,938 $ 52,220,670

NOTES:

(1) See Table 5 - Total Taxable Assessed Value.

(2) See Note 9 A - Changes in Noncurrent Liabilities.

(3) General Obligation Debt includes debt relating to the Sanitary District, because such debt is backed by the full faith

and credit of the County, but excludes all capital leases, which are collateralized by the equipment purchased with such leases.

(4) See Table 14 - Population.

In May, 2013, as described in Note 9 E, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 13-04, thereby continuing a local debt policy in compliance with Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

This policy requires that the County’s Director of Budget, Finance and Information Technology take the following steps:

(a) prepare a six-year capital project plan each year;

(b) propose an amount to be transferred from the General Fund operating balance to the General Capital Projects

Fund to serve as pay-as-you-go funding in the latter Fund, in order to lessen the need for future County debt;

(c) limit the County’s non-bonded indebtedness to $8.0 million for general operating expenses or capital

improvements;

(d) certify that the sum of outstanding general bonded debt and any new general obligation debt is 2.5% or less

of the total taxable assessed base and is $3,000 or less per capita; and This policy also stipulates that although there is some flexibility as to the acceptable percentage of debt service to general fund expenditures, and no absolute limit has been established by the rating agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association, anything above 12% of total general fund expenditures would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service.
