December 19, 2013 The Board of County Commissioners and The Citizens of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland 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, 2013.
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 CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, 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, 2013, 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 unqualified opinion that Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2013, 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.
-1- 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.
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 48,650 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.
The appropriated annual budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g. public safety), and department (e.g.
Detention Center). 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 on pages 107 to 109 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 on pages 122 to 127 and on pages 154 to 155.

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 2013 rate for the County was 6.8%, compared to the state’s rate of 7.5% and the U.S.’s rate of 7.6%. The 2013 average rate for the County was 6.1%.
Unemployment Rate 10.0% 9.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% Queen Anne's County Maryland United States
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 top 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 nearly 60% of the workforce to commute to locations outside the County, primarily to higher paying jobs in the Baltimore and Washington areas.
Property taxes remained fairly constant in fiscal year 2013, decreasing by less than 1.0%, from $65.9 million in fiscal year 2012 to $65.6 million in fiscal year 2013. Property tax revenue is projected to decline by 2.5% for fiscal year 2014, due to the result of decreasing real property assessments, remnants of the real property downturn of the past few years. Local income tax is the County’s other main revenue source.
Income tax collections increased by 9.6% in fiscal year 2013, from $36.0 million in fiscal year 2012 to $39.4 million in fiscal year 2013. The County projected an increase of 6.0% based on the rate increase from 2.85% to 3.2%, effective January 1, 2012. The remaining increase resulted from an increase in the distributions received from the State. The County does not expect the level of increased income tax
revenue to continue. Typically, when the State’s income tax distributions are high one year, the following year is often lower or with limited growth. The projected income tax revenue for fiscal year 2014 is $39.0 million, which is $0.4 million less than the income tax revenue received in fiscal year 2013.
For the past several years, County revenues related to housing activity have continued to be affected by the economic downturn affecting real estate values that began in fiscal year 2009. However, recordation tax revenue, a leading indicator of the health of the local real estate market, experienced positive growth in fiscal year 2013, compared to 2012. Recordation tax revenue increased from $3.8 million in fiscal year
-3- 2012 to $4.6 million in 2013, a 21.7% increase. The projected recordation tax revenue for fiscal year 2014 is $4.8 million.
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. The Ordinance requires the
County to maintain a Rainy Day Fund for contingencies in an amount equal to 7% of the following year’s budgeted general fund operating revenues. The County funded the Rainy Day Fund with the required amount of $7,920,443 in fiscal year 2013.
Capital Projects - The County Commissioners’ six-year capital program, starting with fiscal year 2014, prioritizes capital expenditures over these years to meet the County’s needs. The six-year program includes: $46.2 million for renovation of various school facilities; $32.7 million for administration and general services; $17.7 million for emergency services; $10.3 million for the Bay Bridge Airport; and $6.5
million for the Roads Board capital projects. Offsetting approximately 71% of the Airport’s capital costs, $7.3 million in grants are anticipated.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Bond Ratings - The financial policies and management practices of Queen Anne’s County were recognized by two major rating agencies. Fitch Rating Service issued an AA+ bond rating and Moody’s issued a rating of Aa2.
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 and Finance 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.
For fiscal year 2013, Queen Anne’s County general obligation debt was 1.21% of the total taxable assessable base, and the per capita debt measurement was $1,903. The debt service was 10.5% of the general fund operating expenditures for the year. All thresholds are well below the policy limits. In addition, general bonded debt outstanding, as a percentage of total taxable assessable base, has improved
over the last ten fiscal years, from 1.69% in fiscal year 2004 to 1.21% in fiscal year 2013.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County Maryland 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, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the entity’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.
Auditors’ 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, which represent 100 percent, 100 and 100 percent, respectively, of the assets, net position, and revenues of the aggregate discretely presented
component units. 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 on the report 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 auditors’ 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 An independent member of Nexia International 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 report of 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, 2013, 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.
Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, budgetary comparison information for the general fund, other post-employment benefits (OPEB) trust schedule of funding progress and schedule of participating agencies’ contributions on pages 15-30 and 106-109 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 Combining and Individual Fund Statements and Schedules 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 Combining and Individual Fund Statements and Schedules listed in the table of contents 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 12 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 by us and other auditors. In our opinion, based on our audit, the procedures described above, and the report of the other auditors, the combining and individual fund statements and Schedules listed in the table of contents is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The introductory section and statistical tables listed in the table of contents 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 December 18, 2013, 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 result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
a Baltimore, Maryland December 18, 2013 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, 2013. 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 on pages 32 to 35 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, with basic statements found on pages 36 to 49.
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 on pages 37 and 40 to 41.
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, community partnerships for children, dredging special assessments, Kent Narrows, law library, inmate welfare, agricultural transfer, rural legacy, and purchase of development rights. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each of these funds, which can be found on
pages 107 to 109; 122 to 127; and 154 to 155 of this report.
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 on pages 42 to 47 of this report, as well
as non-major statements on pages 134 to 136.
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 six 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 on pages 48 to 49 of this report, while further detail can be found on pages 140 to 145.
Notes to the financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 50 to 103 of this report.
-16- Beginning fiscal year 2013, the County consolidated the programs and property management funds with the General Fund. In prior years, these funds were presented as non-major enterprise funds. The assets and liabilities for each fund are now reported in the General Fund; with the capital assets and related debt reported in Governmental Activities. The consolidation increased the General Fund balance by $340,297 and
Governmental Activities net position by $198,923, resulting in a total change of $539,220. The prior year amounts presented in the following tables reflect this change.
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 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 Current and Other Assets $ 72,425,648 $ 65,742,906 $ 23,489,553 $ 22,912,957 $ 95,915,201 $ 88,655,863 Capital Assets 143,539,192 143,555,069 94,824,534 95,100,851 238,363,726 238,655,920 Total Assets 215,964,840 209,297,975 118,314,087 118,013,808 334,278,927 327,311,783 Noncurrent liabilities 119,081,677 119,774,186 20,922,767 21,722,365 140,004,444 141,496,551

The
County’s total assets exceeded its total liabilities at the close of fiscal year 2013 by $182.2 million.
Net position is divided into three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted amounts; and unrestricted amounts. By far the largest portion, $200.1 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 $63.3 million at June 30, 2013. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported positive net position of $26.5 million on its government-wide financial
statements, rather than the negative unrestricted net assets of $36.8 million reported herein. For a multi-year view of this calculation, see the Footnote presented in Table 1 of the Statistical Section.
An additional $18.9 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: $8.8 million related to general government services; $2.2 million for conservation of natural resources; $2.1 million for economic/community development; $1.8 million restricted for educational purposes; and an additional $721
thousand for other restrictions. For business-type activities, this amount includes $2.4 million restricted to -17- meet Sanitary District debt covenants and $753 thousand restricted by Sanitary District developer exaction project requirements.
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.

Revenues for governmental activities were $123.6 million for fiscal year 2013. The following chart depicts revenues by source for governmental activities:
Revenues by Source ‐ Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2013 Gain on Sale of Capital County transfer taxes Assets 1.09% Investment 0.13% Miscellaneous Hotel taxes Income 0.85% Recordation taxes 0.38% 0.09% 3.75% Charges for services 4.63% Admission and amusement taxes Operating, capital & 0.13% restricted grants 6.91% Local income tax 28.96% Property taxes 53.08%
• Taxes comprise the largest source of County revenue, totaling $108.0 million (87.4 percent) of total
revenue for fiscal year 2013. Of that amount, property and local income tax together yielded $101.4 million (82.0 percent) of all revenue. Each County sets its own property and income tax rates, within parameters established by the State. For fiscal year 2013, 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.
• Operating grants and contributions, totaling $5.8 million, reflect grants from Federal and State
agencies that support specific County programs. Programs that benefitted the most were: social services ($2.6 million or 44.8 percent) and public safety ($1.3 million or 22.7 percent).
• Charges for services, totaling $5.7 million, reflect fees charged to County citizens. These primarily
support public works ($1.6 million or 28.6 percent), public safety ($1.4 million or 24.3 percent), general government ($1.3 million or 22.3 percent), and education ($1.1 million or 18.4 percent).
• Capital grants and contributions, totaling $2.7 million, reflect contributions from Federal and State
agencies, as well as developers. Public works benefited the most from capital grants and contributions during the year ($1.7 million or 62.6 percent).
-19- Expenses for all governmental activities were $115.3 million for fiscal year 2013. The following chart depicts expenses by function for governmental activities:
Expenses ‐ Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2013 Economic and Community Interest and fiscal development charges 0.96% Conservation of 3.51% natural resources 0.73% General government 12.34% Libraries 1.13% Public safety 22.70% Education Public works 41.93% 10.31% Social services Health 4.82% 1.57% 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 $48.4 million (41.9 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 $115.3 million for governmental activities, $14.3 million (12.4 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 $5.7 million, while governments and other organizations that benefited indirectly from these programs contributed operating
grants of $5.8 million and capital grants of $2.7 million.
County taxpayers paid for most of the remaining $101.1 million in net program costs, through a variety of County taxes, for a total of $108.0 million. Net program costs of services provided to the public, in order of net cost, were: $47.3 million for education; $23.2 million for public safety; $12.1 million for general government; $7.9 million for public works; $2.8 million for social services; $375 thousand for conservation of
natural resources; $123 thousand for economic and community development; and $7.2 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 2013, governmental activities increased the County’s net position overall by $7.9 million, compared to a decrease of $159 thousand in fiscal year 2012. The following discussion explains changes in net position relative to the prior fiscal year.
Revenues for governmental activities increased by $4.8 million (4.0 percent). The following key revenues changed, when compared to the prior fiscal year:
• Local income tax increased by $1.8 million (5.1 percent), from $34.0 million to $35.8 million. The
majority of the increase relates to the income tax rate increasing from 2.85% to 3.2%, effective January 1, 2012. The remaining increase relates to higher distributions of the local income tax from the State of Maryland Comptroller to Queen Anne’s County.
• Operating grants and contributions increased by $1.1 million (24.2 percent), from $4.7 million in
fiscal year 2012 to $5.8 million in fiscal year 2013. Key factors for this change are:
o Social Services increased by $538 thousand (25.9 percent). A significant portion of this increase was the result of additional grant funding received for Community Partnerships that wasn’t received in the prior year. The State encouraged Community Partnerships to use Earned Reinvestment Funds to fund programs for fiscal year 2013, rather than ending the programs. The remaining increase is split amongst other social services programs.
o Conservation of Natural Resources increased by $363 thousand (985.4 percent) as a result of federal grant funding of $337 thousand received in fiscal year 2013 for the purchase of a land conservation easement, which was not received in the prior year.
• Recordation Tax increased by $826 thousand (21.7 percent), from $3.8 million in fiscal year 2012 to
$4.6 million in fiscal year 2013. For the past several years, County revenues related to housing activity have been adversely affected by declining real estate values. However, recordation tax revenue, a leading indicator of the health of the local real estate market, experienced positive growth in fiscal year 2013, compared to 2012.
• Capital grants and contributions increased by $750 thousand (38.5 percent), from $1.9 million in fiscal
year 2012 to $2.7 million in fiscal year 2013. Key factors for this change are:
o Public Works increased by $1.1 million (211.5 percent) mainly as a result of $1.2 million received in funding for the Island Creek Road Bridge, which was not received in fiscal year 2012.
o Economic and Community Development increased by $494 thousand (602.9 percent) as a result of federal grant funding of $575 thousand received in fiscal year 2013 related to the Matapeake Professional Business Park.
o Conservation of Natural Resources decreased by $999 thousand (100.0 percent) as a result of fewer easements purchased in the current year compared to the previous year.
Expenses for governmental activities decreased by $3.0 million (2.5 percent) and transfers out to business-type activities decreased by $268 thousand. Key positive and negative expense changes, in order of relative importance, are:
• Education expenses decreased by $5.3 million (9.9 percent). This decrease was directly related to less
expenditures in fiscal year 2013 for the Sudlersville Middle School, due to the completion of the school construction.
-21-
• Conservation of Natural Resources decreased by $2.0 million (70.1 percent) due to fewer easement
acquisitions in fiscal year 2013 compared to 2012. Land development easements acquired in the Rural Legacy, Agricultural Transfer, and Purchase of Development Rights programs totaled $2.1 million in fiscal year 2012, however there were not any easements purchased for these programs in fiscal year 2013. Generally, the timing of easement purchases is affected by the evaluation process of the identified land, as well as the availability of State funds.
• Public Works expenses increased by $1.5 million (14.6 percent), mainly due to $738 thousand in
expenditures for asphalt overlays in fiscal year 2013, which there were not any expenditures for in fiscal year 2012. The remaining increase is the result of the timing of capital projects.
Business-type activities:
Revenues, transfers in, and expenses for business-type activities were $14.9 million, $359 thousand, and $13.8 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2013. 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, 2013 Investment income Miscellaneous 2.38% 5.73% Charges for Operating & services capital grants 60.12% & contributions 31.77% Expenses by Service ‐ Business‐Type Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2013 Public Golf course landings and 3.91% marinas 3.89% Airport Water and 6.64% sewer 85.56% -22- Business-type activities increased the County’s net assets altogether by $1.5 million in fiscal year 2013, which
was $3.0 million more than the prior year’s decrease of $1.5 million. The fiscal year 2013 change in net assets resulted primarily from:
• Capital grants and contributions increased by $3.4 million (295.6 percent), from $1.1 million in fiscal
year 2012 to $4.5 million in fiscal year 2013. The net increase in funding resulted from changes in several projects due to the timing of the projects. Sewer related capital projects increased by $1.7 million, resulting from large contributions received in fiscal year 2013 for the Gibson’s Grant and Ellendale developments, which were not received in the previous year. In addition, capital grants and
contributions for the Bay Bridge Airport’s capital projects increased by $1.8 million in fiscal year 2013.
• Charges for services decreased by $657 thousand (6.8 percent), from $9.6 million in fiscal year 2012
to $9.0 million in fiscal year 2013. This decrease was the result of combining the programs and property management funds in with the General Fund in fiscal year 2013. The funds were previously reported as non-major enterprise funds.
• Operating expenses before transfers decreased by $778 thousand (5.3 percent), from $14.5 million in
fiscal year 2012 to $13.8 million in fiscal year 2013, for all business-type activities. The decrease is a result of several factors. First of all, there was a decrease in expenses of $1.3 million due to combining the Programs and Property Management Funds in with the General Fund in fiscal year 2013. Secondly, expenses for the Airport decreased by $543 thousand. In fiscal year 2012, there was a loss on disposal in the amount of $182 thousand, which did not occur in the current year. Also, there
was $330 thousand less expenditures for the airport in the current year related to project costs, staff costs, and other costs. Offsetting the decreases was an increase of $1.1 million in expenses for water and sewer, as a result of the disposal of obsolete fixed assets.
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 $62.1 million, compared to $51.1 million for the prior year (after adjusting for combining Programs and Property Management in with the General Fund). Approximately 9.4 percent of this total ($5.8 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending. The total
unassigned fund balance of $5.8 million is comprised of $6.0 million of positive unassigned fund balance for the general fund, reduced by negative unassigned fund balances of $136 thousand in the non-major governmental funds. Additional detail on the negative unassigned balances can be found in Note 15 on page 100.
The nonspendable fund balance ($6.0 million), at 9.7 percent of the total fund balance, is not available for spending and includes amounts related to inventory, prepaid expenses, and loans receivable. Restricted fund balance of $20.8 million (33.5 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 $7.9 million for
the rainy day fund. Committed fund balance of $3.5 million (5.6 percent) represents those amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority.
-23- The remaining 41.8 percent of fund balance ($26.0 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 $16.0 million, which is an increase of $2.8 million from the fiscal year 2012 balance of $13.1 million. Note that the Programs and Property Management Funds are consolidated with the general fund beginning in fiscal year 2013; therefore the fiscal year 2012 fund
balances for those funds are included in the balance of $13.1 million also, for comparison purposes.
Of the total $16.0 million in fund balance, $6.0 million is unassigned, meaning that there are no constraints on how the funds can be spent. In fiscal year 2013, the County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 12-21 for the purpose of re-establishing the Rainy Day Fund, and requires the County to maintain a Rainy Day Fund for contingencies in an amount equal to 7% of budgeted General Fund operating revenues. As a result of that
Ordinance, $7.9 million of rainy day funds are included in the General Fund’s restricted fund balance for fiscal year 2013.
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, 2013, the General Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $30.8 million, compared to $26.7 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $30.8 million in total fund balance is comprised of $1.3 million of nonspendable fund balance, $5.4 million in restricted fund balance, mainly for unspent bond proceeds, $2.7 million of fund balance committed for specific projects, and $21.4 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, and are financed mostly from roads-related capital grants and roads benefit assessments.
As of June 30, 2013, the Roads Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $3.8 million, compared to $2.0 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Of this total $3.8 million fund balance, $3.0 million has been assigned to fund ongoing projects, while $775 thousand has been contributed by local developers and is committed to fund specific infrastructure improvements. Nonspendable fund balance includes $28 thousand for
prepaid expenses.
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 assets of the Sanitary District Enterprise Funds at the end of fiscal year 2013 amounted to $12.8 million, which is $203 thousand more than the prior year.
Total net assets of the Sanitary District amounted to $72.2 million at the end of fiscal year 2013, which decreased by $757 thousand when compared to the prior year. A large portion of the decrease relates to the costs associated with other post-employment benefits (OPEB), which totaled $1.1 million in fiscal year 2013 for the Sanitary District.
The unrestricted net assets of the Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund at year end amounted to negative $422 thousand compared to a negative $420 thousand at the end of the prior fiscal year, reflecting a decrease of $2 thousand.
-24- Total net assets of the Bay Bridge Airport amounted to $15.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2013, which increased by $2.3 million when compared to the prior year. The increase results from capital grant funding for the Airport’s capital projects.
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 events. 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 on pages 107 through 109. The Schedule reports original and final budgets, as well as
the variance between actual events and final budgets.
Original to Final Budget Comparisons. The final expenditure budget for the General Fund, including transfers out, totaled $117.4 million. Amendments increased spending authority by $9.4 million during fiscal year 2013, when compared to the original budget of $108.0 million.
Major components of these expenditure budget increases are as follows:
• Budgeted Transfers Out to General Capital Projects and Roads Capital Projects increased by $7.2
million during the year. As mentioned above, there are several capital projects in which the County plans to move aggressively on, and would like to have fund balance available in the General and Roads Capital Projects fund to cover a portion of the costs.
• Budgeted Miscellaneous Expenditures increased by $1.7 million due to a variety of costs, mostly
associated with Insurance and Benefits.
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 $576 thousand. Actual expenditures, and other financing uses, were less than final budgetary appropriations by $3.1 million. The net effect of these two disparities was a positive variance of actual to final budget of $3.7 million.
The most noteworthy differences between final budgeted amounts and actual amounts are summarized as follows:
Revenues:
• Charges for current services revenue was $469 thousand more than budgeted (22.2 percent), as a result
of combining the Programs and Property Management Funds in with the General Fund beginning in fiscal year 2013. The revenue related to these programs was more than expected.
• Miscellaneous revenue was $455 thousand more than expected (97.7 percent), mainly due to worker’s
compensation refunds received, which were not anticipated.
• Transfers In were $641 thousand less than the final budget (96.6 percent), as a result of the transfer in
from School Impact fees not made in the fiscal year. Management decided it was more advantageous to leave the money in the Impact Fee Fund in anticipation of future board of education projects.
-25- Expenditures:
• Final Budgeted Salaries and Benefits were $28.8 million for the year, while actual costs were $27.9
million. They were underspent at year-end by $900 thousand (3.1 percent). Of this amount, the roads department was responsible for $382 thousand of the unspent portion, detention center for $173 thousand, solid waste for $145 thousand, and finance for $145 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 $88.6 million for the year, while actual costs were
$86.4 million. These costs were lower than budget at year end by $2.2 million (2.5 percent).
Operating Charges include contracted services, supplies, debt service, transfers out, and other charges.
o Contracted Services were underspent by $566 thousand, with the largest savings realized by the detention center ($156 thousand), parks ($113 thousand), and roads ($93 thousand).
o Supplies were underspent by $558 thousand, largely due to savings by roads ($426 thousand).
o Other Charges were underspent by $830 thousand, primarily due to insurance costs being underspent by $232 thousand due to savings in retiree health care costs. In addition, pension costs were underspent by $146 thousand, as these charges were delayed until the following year. The remaining savings for other charges were spread throughout the General Fund, as all departments are continuing the effort of increasing efficiencies whenever possible.
o Transfers Out were underspent by $186 thousand, primarily due to savings realized by the Department of Housing ($102 thousand) and the Golf Course Enterprise Fund ($75 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, 2013 amounted to $238.4 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.

Long-term debt: At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government had total bonded debt, loans, capital leases, other post-employment benefit obligations, and compensated absence obligations of $140.0 million for its governmental and business-type activities.
The full faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of the County are irrevocably pledged to the levy and collection of taxes in order to provide for the payment of principal and interest due on the bonded debt.
Of this $140.0 million in debt, $20.9 million is considered to be self-supporting, in that obligations of the County’s enterprise funds will be funded through charges and assessments related to the operations of those funds. In addition, the Sanitary District’s Debt Service Fund holds total assets of $3.5 million, which are restricted to payment of the Sanitary District’s subsequent year’s debt.

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, 2013
Change in Fund Balances - Total governmental funds, per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds $ 11,047,224 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 value of 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 $ 5 28,297 ADD capital assets resulting from general capital projects 2,805,320 ADD capital assets resulting from roads capital projects 541,961 SUBTRACT book value of disposed capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation (297,162) SUBTRACT current year depreciation expense (3,594,293) Net Increase in Capital Assets (15,877) Receivables not included in the governmental funds because they relate to debt.
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.

The maxium period of no cost health insurance was three years. The liability for the benefit offered to the retirees in included in the government wide statements and adjusted each year until the benefit period is over.

(CONTINUED)
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 revenue increased or (decreased) relative to the prior year is as follows:
ADD current year's Property Tax Deferred Revenue $ 134,615 SUBTRACT prior year's Property Tax Deferred Revenue (97,468) $ 37,147 ADD current year's Income Tax Deferred Revenue 602,231 SUBTRACT prior year's Income Tax Deferred Revenue (4,271,834) (3,669,603) 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 liabilties.
ADD retirements and repayments made on long term debt General Bonds Payable 7,047,694 Notes Payable 306,569 Bond Premiums, Net of Issuance Costs 124,958 Deferred Refunding Costs (201,161) 7,278,060 SUBTRACT proceeds of Suntrust Financing debt (564,068) SUBTRACT College reimbursement received (267,629) ADD PHA reimbursement received 63,672 ADD County's allocation to College for debt 63,853 6,573,888
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. The net amount by which these accruals increased or (decreased) over the prior period is as follows:
ADD prior year's Accrued Interest Payable 974,294 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Interest Payable (975,824) (1,530) ADD prior year's Accrued Compensated Absences 2,191,302 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Compensated Absences (2,057,039) 134,263 ADD prior year's Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation 19,566,364 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation (25,785,783)

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
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 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.
Complete financial statements of the discretely presented component units can be obtained from their respective administrative offices listed below:

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUED)
Joint Venture The operation of the Midshore Regional Landfill is considered a joint venture of the County. Disclosure of the County’s participation in this joint venture is presented in Note 17.
Complete financial statements can be obtained at the joint ventures’ administrative office listed below:
Maryland Environmental Service 259 Najoles Road Millersville, Maryland 21108 Elimination of The Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority as of Discretely Presented Component Unit Effective July 1, 2012, Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority separated all operations from the County. As a result of the separation, the Housing Authority no longer met GASB 39’s requirements for a component unit; and is not included in the
County’s fiscal year 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
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.
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
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; parks and recreation; 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 selfbalancing 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.

(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 intergovernmental 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 revenue. 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 revenue is 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 deferred 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 revenue.
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 assets. 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 Assets (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.

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 seventeen non-major governmental funds, which are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources. Included in the seventeen non-major governmental funds are fourteen 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 self-supporting 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 6,800 customers.
Water Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the water supply system serving approximately 4,100 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 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. Currently, the only other agency participating is Kent County,
Maryland. The Queen Anne’s County Public Housing Authority had funds in the Trust as of June 30, 2013; however, the funds were paid out to the Housing Authority in July 2013 as they are no longer participating in the Trust.
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, mid-shore recycling, and abandoned property.
GASB 62 Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, eliminates a previous election that allowed financial statements for enterprise funds and business-type activities to apply post-November 30, 1989 FASB Statements and Interpretations for the financial statements to the extent that the FASB Statements and Interpretations did not conflict with or contradict GASB
pronouncements. The County has elected not to follow any other FASB guidance.
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 ($1,000 for
computers) 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.

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 3 - 20 Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 15 Vehicles 7 - 10
5) Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation
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.
Additional details regarding other post-employment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 14.
Primary Government – In both the government-wide and enterprise funds, liability for other postemployment benefits is adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the other postemployment benefit obligation amounted to $30,185,198, including both governmental ($25,785,783) and business-type activities ($4,399,415).
Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2013, the other post-employment benefit obligation for the Board of Education amounted to $27,015,754.
Component Unit – Free Library – For the year ended June 30, 2013, the other post-employment benefit obligation for the Library amounted to $1,013,264.

6) 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 $2,322,147 at June 30, 2013, including both governmental ($2,057,039) and business-type activities ($265,108).
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, 2013 amounted to $1,001,163. Because payment of sick leave is contingent upon an 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.
7) Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, longterm 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 and discounts 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 generally reported as a deferred asset and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method.
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, payments to the Bond Refunding Agent and associated bond issuance costs are reported as other financing uses.

8) 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.
9) Net Position/Fund Equity
In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported an unrestricted net deficit of $36,813,556. 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, 2013, the County has reported outstanding general obligation debt related to assets held by the Board of Education amounting to $63,283,726 (of which
$62,055,697 has been spent and the remaining $1,228,029 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 $26,470,170.
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, 2013, 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 represent 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:

At the Government-Wide level, the unspent bond proceeds are offset by the liability.
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.

10) 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.
Real and personal property taxes are levied at rates enacted by the County Commissioners in the annual budget on the assessed value as determined by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. The rates of levy cannot exceed the constant yield rate furnished by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation without public notice and only after public hearings. The County tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was $0.8471 per $100 of assessed value.
E. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The County adopted the provisions of four Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements:
Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements”: This Statement extracts the specialized principles and practices from the AICPA insurance industry related Guides and Statements of Position and establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for insurance enterprises other than mutual life insurance enterprises, assessment enterprises, and fraternal benefit societies. Adoption of this standard has no material impact on the County’s
financial statements.
Statement No. 61, “The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus”: This purpose of this Statement is to improve financial reporting for a governmental financial reporting entity. The requirements of Statements No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, and the related financial reporting requirements of Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, were amended to better meet user needs and to address
reporting entity issues that have arisen since the issuance of those Statements. Adoption of this standard has no material impact on the County’s financial statements.

Statement No. 62, “Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements”: This objective of this Statement is to incorporate into GASB’s authoritative literature certain accounting and financial reporting guidance that is included in the following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, which does not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements:
1. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations
2. Accounting Principles Board Opinions
3. Accounting Research Bulletins of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA)

Hereinafter, those pronouncements collectively are referred to as the “FASB and ACIPA pronouncements.” Statement No. 63, “Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position”: This Statement provides financial reporting guidance for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. Concepts Statement No. 4, Elements of Financial Statements, introduced and defined those elements as a
consumption of Net Position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period, and an acquisition of Net Position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period, respectively. Previous financial reporting standards do not include guidance for reporting those financial statement elements, which are distinct from assets and liabilities.

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.
During the fiscal year, the Commissioners may adopt supplemental appropriations. For the year ended June 30, 2013, supplemental appropriations were as follows:
Original Final Supplemental Appropriations Budget Budget Increase General Fund - expenditures and transfers $ 107,991,500 $ 117,364,198 $ 9,372,698 Special Revenue Funds that adopt annual budgets Non-Major that adopt annual budgets - Department of Aging - expenditures and transfers 2,021,034 2,145,125 124,091 Housing and Community Services - expenditures 1,190,377 1,504,945 314,568 Community Partnerships for Children - expenditures 1,133,969 1,737,912 603,943

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, Community Partnerships for Children, Dredging Special Assessments, Kent Narrows, Law Library, Inmate Welfare, Agricultural Transfer, Rural Legacy, School Impact Fees Capital Projects, Fire Company Impact Fees Capital Projects, Parks and Recreation Impact
Fees Capital Projects, and Purchase of Development Rights Funds. 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

The collected bank balances were $24,253,374 and of those balances, $751,609 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.
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.
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 by enacting Section 22G of Article 94 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 MLGIP seeks to maintain a constant value of $1 per unit with unit value computed using the amortized cost method. In addition, the net asset value
of the pool, marked to market, is calculated and maintained on a weekly basis to ensure a $1 per unit constant value.
As of June 30, 2013, the County’s investments, 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.

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
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 1994, 2000, and 2003, Queen Anne’s County sold $1,000,000, $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 $64,600, $995,000, and $302,206, respectively, for a total of $1,361,806. 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 semiannual basis.
Loans receivable in the amount of $5,285,873 relate to the Housing and Community Services, Impact Fees, and Revolving Loan Special Revenue Funds. Loans receivable in the amount of $3,928,220 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 $153,178 are also repaid over a number of years.
The remaining loan receivable balance of $1,204,475 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 $3,794,205 have been estimated by the State as income tax due for “tax years” 2012 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 $942,301 represent receivables for governmental activities. Part of this amount consists of $348,376 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 $593,925 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 $1,884,874 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.

NOTE 7 - INTERFUND RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
Interfund receivables and payables are usually used by the County to cover temporary cash deficits in individual funds until grant or similar resources are received. Occasionally, these receivables and payables are used in lieu of short-term external borrowing, such as for capital lease agreements.
Intra-entity receivables and payables usually relate to capital construction projects, wherein the primary government records a liability to its component unit at year-end while the component unit records a payable to the contractor.
The interfund and intra-entity receivables and payables consist of the following at June 30, 2013:
Due from Fund Total Due From General Non-Major Sanitary Bay Bridge Non-Major Other Funds / Capital Projects Governmental District Airport Enterprise Component Units Due to Fund General Fund $ - $ 210,778 $ - $ 493,277 $ 306,731 $ 1,010,786 General Capital Projects - 64,523 - - - 64,523 Sanitary District - - 378,634 - - 378,634 Board of Education - Component Unit 1,367,853 - - - - 1,367,853 Total Due to Other Funds $ 1,367,853 $ 275,301 $ 378,634 $ 493,277 $ 306,731 $ 2,821,796
In Fiscal Year 2014, the Board of Education issued a check to the County in the amount of $170,430 to repay a temporary allocation issued to the Board by the County in Fiscal Year 2013 which covered various capital improvements. The County has appropriately recorded a receivable for this amount in Fiscal Year 2013, resulting in a reconciling item with the Board of Education.
Interfund receivables and payables are reported on the Statement of Net Position as Internal Balances, net of transactions between the same types of funds.

the Public Landings and Marinas enterprise fund. This transaction was appropriately recorded in the Enterprise Fund as an increase in debt liability and in the General Capital Projects Fund as a transfer out.

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 2009, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 43, Financial Reporting for Post-Employment Benefit Plans Other than Pension Plans and GASB 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits 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. Additional information can be found in Note 14, Other Post-Employment Benefits.
Compensated absences that mature during the fiscal year, in that they are paid when the employee takes vacation leave 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.

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. As a result, the County received interest reimbursements of $420,868 during fiscal year 2013, which are reported separately as a specific intergovernmental grant. The net effect of this reimbursement is shown below.

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 and Finance: (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; (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; and (5) review and revise this Debt Policy as necessary no later than
September 1, 2015. 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.
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.

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, 2013 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 2013 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.
Settlements - For the last three years, 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.
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
COST-SHARING MULTIPLE-EMPLOYER DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
Description of Plans The County participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plans that are administered by the State of Maryland.
The Employees Pension System of the State of Maryland (Pension System) was established January 1, 1980. The Pension System covers employees hired after December 31, 1979, as well as Retirement System participants who have voluntarily joined the Pension System.
The Employees Contributory Pension System of the State of Maryland (Contributory Pension System) was established July 1, 1998. As of July 1, 1999, and retroactively to July 1, 1998, the County elected to participate in the Contributory Pension System for all service earned on or after July 1, 1998.
Effective the first payroll in fiscal year 2007, the County elected to provide its employees with the “Alternate Contributory Pension Selection Plan of the State of Maryland” (Alternate Contributory Pension System), under Title 23 of the State Pension Article. This plan is an enhanced version of the two pension systems described above, and, as such, includes provisions that originate in those plans. Eligible employees not covered by LEOPS, which is described below,
are required to participate in this alternate plan in lieu of other plans previously offered. At this time, all current employees not covered by LEOPS participate in the Alternate Contributory Pension System.
The Law Enforcement Officers Pension System (LEOPS) was established July 2, 1990 and adopted by the County on July 1, 2004. LEOPS currently covers uniformed law enforcement officers of the Sheriff’s Department.
Under the terms of the Alternate Contributory Pension System, a member may retire after 30 years of service regardless of age; at age 65 with two years of service; at age 64 with three years of service; at age 63 with four years of service; or at age 62 with at least five years of service. An employee may also take early retirement with reduced benefits at age 55 with 15 years of service. A member terminating employment before attaining retirement age, but
after completing five years of eligible service, becomes eligible for a vested pension allowance upon reaching age 62.
Under the terms of the LEOPS, a member may retire with full benefits upon attaining age 50 or after completing 25 years of eligible service regardless of age. LEOPS members are not eligible for early service retirement allowances.
A member terminating employment before attaining retirement age, but after completing five years of eligible service, becomes eligible for a vested pension allowance upon reaching age 50.
On retirement from service, a member of any of these plans shall receive an annual service retirement allowance based on the member's average final compensation (based on the highest three years’ wages) and years of creditable service multiplied by a factor. This factor varies from 1.2% to 1.8% for the Alternate Plan or 2.0% for LEOPS. The factor is applied per eligible service year, depending on employee/employer contributions and other plan-specific
provisions. Early retirement, where available, is subject to provisions that reduce the benefit received.

Contributions Each participating agency has the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions that result in contribution requirements of the plan members and the agency. The Plans are contributory plans in which the agencies and their retired members and beneficiaries contribute certain amounts toward the current cost of the healthcare benefits, based on an actuarial valuation.
To avoid reporting a liability for the current year’s contribution, each employer must contribute its annual required contribution (ARC), which is an amount actuarially determined to be in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed 30 years.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The actuarial valuations of the individual plans involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, such as future employment, mortality, and healthcare costs. The actuarially determined amounts regarding the funded status of the plans and the annual required contributions (ARC) of the County and other participating agencies are subject to continual revision, as actual results are compared to past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between employers and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value
of the assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
Actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation for the County’s plan were:
Actuarial Assumptions for Primary Government Actuarial valuation date October 1, 2011 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit Amortization method Closed Amortization period 26 years (as of July 1, 2012) Interest Assumptions 4.00% investment rate of return Asset valuation method Market value of assets Inflation Rate 3.2% per year Salary increases 3% per year Mortality RP 2000, separate tables for males and females
Actuarial trend assumptions Based on Society of Actuaries Long Term Medical Trend Model, the 2011 rate is 7.5 percent decreasing gradually. The rate in 2050 is 5.9 percent. The ultimate rate is 5.2 percent and is attained in 2080.

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 $70,992 as of June 30, 2013. 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 $64,523 as of June 30, 2013. 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 $422,195 as of June 30, 2013.
Golf Course Enterprise Fund The Golf Course Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net position of $324,649 as of June 30, 2013.
Note that during the fiscal year 2013 budget process, 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, 2013 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.
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.
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 $2,705,469 has been committed, including $1,509,661 for the construction of a new County Courthouse, $694,348 for rubble surcharge, $319,478 for economic development, $105,241 for infrastructure
improvements in the Matapeake Business Park, and $76,741 for site improvements pursuant to agreements with local developers. In the Roads Capital Projects Fund, $774,913 has been contributed by developers and is committed to fund infrastructure improvements.
Income Tax Contingency - In the case of the Maryland State Comptroller of the Treasury v. Brian Wynne, Mr. Wynne challenged the Maryland statute, arguing that the statute violated the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution because it burdened Maryland residents that conducted interstate business. The Maryland Court of Appeals decision found that “failure to allow a credit with respect to the county taxes for out-of-state income taxes paid to other states on
pass-through income earned in those states discriminates against interstate commerce and violates the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution.” The Attorney General’s Office has now filed an appeal with the Supreme Court.
Based on the findings, Queen Anne’s County reduced the receivable from the State for income taxes and the offsetting deferred revenue by the estimated fiscal impact for the County for tax years 2009, 2010, and 2011, which totaled $850 thousand. 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. Queen Anne’s County also assigned an amount equal to interest at 13%, which is the annual interest rate required by Maryland State Law, Section 13-604 of the Tax-General Article, Annotated Code of Maryland. The total amount of interest calculated was $434 thousand, bringing the total assigned fund balance
associated with the income tax contingency to $1.3 million. 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.

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 31.04% 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, 2013, total closure and post closure costs were estimated at approximately $9.4 million. Midshore II, located in Caroline County, was 7.24% filled. Closure and post closure costs for Midshore II are estimated at approximately $14.2 million.
Therefore, the total closure and post closure costs for both landfills are $23.6 million, with approximately $7.3 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 $9.8 million as of June 30,
2013, 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 $18.8 million. As of June 30, 2013, $5.8 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 $338,687 in tipping fees to the facility during fiscal 2013.
MES has satisfied its financial assurance requirements based upon the local government financial ratio tests of the project participants as of June 30, 2012. MES expects to satisfy these requirements as of June 30, 2013 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, 2008, 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 2008, the County incurred a total of $334,000 in expenses, including $92,000 in fiscal year 2013, 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 will include the application of decontaminating chemicals to the soil in an effort to determine the dosage rate and the corresponding reduction in pollutants that can 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. The final scope of work is yet to be determined by the County and approved by MDE; however the County expects it to be completed by the end of calendar year 2014.
No liability has been recorded at this time since costs for both the initial and final site injections cannot be reliably estimated. None of these outlays met the requirements for capitalization noted in GASB Statement 49 and they were not capitalized.
NOTE 19 – COMBINING FUNDS
Beginning fiscal year 2013, the County consolidated the programs and property management funds with the General Fund. In prior years, these funds were presented as non-major enterprise funds. The assets and liabilities for each fund are now reported in the General Fund; with the capital assets and related debt reported in Governmental Activities. The consolidation increased the General Fund balance by $340,297 and Governmental Activities net position by $198,923,
resulting in a total change of $539,220.
NOTE 20 – PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
COMPONENT UNIT
Queen Anne’s County Board of Education During fiscal year 2013, the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education determined that certain prior year receivables totaling $200,000 were incorrectly recorded in the Food Services Fund. To correct this error, the beginning fund balance of the Food Services Fund of $312,170 was decreased by $200,000. In addition, the beginning net position for governmental activities on the Board of Education’s financial statements of $138,104,698, as originally reported, has
been decreased to $137,904,698.

can be misleading. Expressing the assets as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability (Funded Ratio) provides one indication of the system’s funding status on a going-concern basis. Analysis of this percentage over time indicates whether the system is becoming financially stronger or weaker. Generally, the greater this percentage, the stronger the system is becoming. In this fiscal year, the Funded Ratio is 0.36 percent, down from 0.39 percent the year before. Due
to the timing of the valuation reports, the table above does not include contributions made to the Trust by Queen Anne’s County in fiscal year 2012 ($489 thousand) or 2013 ($485 thousand). The next valuation report will reflect those contributions.
Trends in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and annual covered payroll are both affected by inflation. Expressing the unfunded accrued liability as a percentage of annual covered payroll approximately adjusts for the effects of inflation and aids analysis of the system’s progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Generally, the smaller this percentage, the stronger the system is becoming. In this fiscal year, the UAAL as a percentage of
covered payroll is 372 percent, up from 320 percent the year before.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are 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.
We do not amend closed projects in the General Capital Projects Fund or Roads Capital Projects Fund. The names of these projects begin with a CLS. Once the project is closed, it is considered null and void and there is no remaining authority, and therefore we do not amend those after the fact.
Force in kind capital projects do not contain any budget authority. These projects are only intended as a tracking tool. Most costs associated with force in kind projects are related to staff costs and the project is attached to the employee’s normal activity, which contains the budget authority.
General Capital Projects – This fund accounts for capital project activities funded by all governmental resources, except those reserved for use in the Roads Capital Projects Fund, noted below.
Roads Capital Projects - This fund accounts for capital project activities funded by governmental resources specifically reserved for use in the Roads Capital Projects Fund. These resources consist of State-Shared Highway User Tax, which is mandated for this use, plus federal, state, and local roads-related grants and transfers, and also governmental resources.

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. Each fund sets its rates and service charges at a level sufficient to:
(1) meet all of its operating expenses; (2) provide for depreciation from wear and obsolescence; and (3) to
the extent that funds are not borrowed, finance the cost of expansion of physical facilities.
-132-
NON-MAJOR ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Non-major enterprise funds include the following funds:
Blue Heron Golf Course – This fund accounts for operation and maintenance of an 18-hole public golf course that is owned and operated by the County.
Public Landings and Marinas – This fund accounts for operation, maintenance, and major repairs of public landings, bulkheads, and public marinas. For a fee, the general public has access to these landings to launch small craft into the many waterways that surround the County and can also access the marinas for temporary mooring.

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, pages 32-33.
(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 positive net position for its governmental activities and for government-wide purposes. Governmentwide unrestricted net position would have been:
Unrestricted (deficit) net position reported above $ (14,178,514) $ (6,161,281) $ 7,339,567 $ (3,740,905) $ (15,075,202) Debt issued for capital on behalf of others 51,839,220 47,345,646 44,460,306 57,496,385 53,758,049 County net position effect of this relationship $ 37,660,706 $ 41,184,365 $ 51,799,873 $ 53,755,480 $ 38,682,847
(2) In fiscal year 2013, the County implemented GASB Statement No. 63, which required the change from the Statement of Net Assets
to the Statement of Net Position.

(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 will be 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 will only include Golf Course Fund data.
(5) Prior to FY13, this section only included data for the Public Marinas Funds. Beginning in FY13, this section will include
data for both Public Marinas and Public Landings, as these funds were combined to form one fund.
(6) In fiscal year 2013, the County implemented GASB Statement No. 63, which required the change from the Statement of Net Assets
to the Statement of Net Position.

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 F, 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 and Finance 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
(e) review and revise this Debt Policy as necessary, but no later than September 1, 2015.
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.
