Indian River County
Florida
Indian River County's public transportation system is
administered through a public-private partnership with the
Senior Resource Association. In 2009, The Federal Transit
Administration awarded Indian River County an American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant in the amount
of 82.2 million for the construction of a new transit
administration and bus parking facility on 43' Avenue in Vero
Beach. Construction of the Indian River County Transit
Facility was completed in 2012, and the facility has since been
certified as the County's first "green" building. To achieve
"green" certification, the facility was designed to comply with
the energy efficiency and sustainability standards as set forth by
the Florida Green Building Coalition. In addition to using
energy efficient systems for heating, cooling, and lighting, the
facility was constructed of mostly recycled and recyclable
materials. Other materials used in the construction were
made in the United States, as per the Buy America and Buy
American Acts which were also requirements of the grant.

To the Citizens of Indian River County:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Indian River County, Florida for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2012, is respectfully submitted. State law requires that every general-purpose
government publish a complete set of audited financial statements within six months of the close of each
fiscal year. This report was prepared by the Finance Department under the supervision of the Clerk of
the Circuit Court and Comptroller. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Finance
Department and is contingent upon the internal control established for this purpose.
The County has established a comprehensive internal control framework designed to ensure that the
assets of the County are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to certify that the financial records and
data used for preparing the financial statements are in conformity with accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) as applicable to governmental entities. The internal control system is designed to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The idea of reasonable
assurance recognizes two aspects: 1) the cost of internal control should not exceed the anticipated
benefits; and 2) the valuation of the costs and benefits require estimates and judgment by management.
All internal control evaluations take place within this framework. We believe the County's internal
controls adequately safeguard its assets and provide reasonable assurance of properly recorded financial
transactions.
Section 11.45, Florida Statutes, requires an annual audit of all County agencies. The unqualified
opinion of the auditors, Rehmann Robson, Certified Public Accountants, of the County's financial
statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 has been included in this report. The independent
auditors' report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. The audit was also designed
to meet the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, the Florida Single Audit Act, the Federal
Single Audit Act of 1984, the Federal Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, and revised OMB
Circular A-133.
Readers of this report are encouraged to read Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which
provides basic financial information about the County and an overview of the County's activities. The
MD&A immediately follows the independent auditors' report.

Profile of Indian River County
Indian River County, established on June 29, 1925 by an act of the Florida Legislature, is on the central
Atlantic coast of Florida, approximately 100 miles southeast of Orlando and 135 miles north of Miami.
The County is bordered by Brevard County to the north, St. Lucie County to the south, and Osceola and
Okeechobee Counties on the west. There are approximately 100 miles of waterfront land in the County,
including 23 miles of Atlantic beaches.
The City of Vero Beach is the seat of County government. Indian River County is a non -charter county
established under the Constitution and the Laws of the State of Florida. It is governed by a five member
Board of County Commissioners (Board) elected at large from the five districts within the County. A
County Administrator is appointed by the Board and is responsible for implementing the policies set
forth by the Board. The Administrator is charged with the fiscal control of the resources of the County
as well. In addition to the Board, there are five elected Constitutional Officers serving specific
governmental functions: Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff,
Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector. Although the funding for all Constitutional Offices is part of
the County's General Fund, the Board does not have direct responsibility for their operations. Each
office is run separately within each of its respective legal guidelines.
Indian River County provides a full range of services including, but not limited to: construction and
maintenance of roadways, sidewalks and other infrastructure, fire rescue/emergency services, law
enforcement, library services, traffic operations and control, parks and recreational services, human
services, building inspections, licenses and permits, water/sewer utility services, and refuse collection
and disposal.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller (Clerk), Sheriff, and Supervisor of Elections submit
proposed operating budgets to the Board prior to May 1. The Florida Department of Revenue receives
budgets from the Property Appraiser prior to June 1 and from the Tax Collector prior to August 1. Once
these budgets are approved, they are forwarded to the Board. The court -related function of the Clerk
submits a budget to the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) prior to October 1.
These operating budgets include proposed expenditures and the sources to finance them as set forth in
Chapters 129 and 28.36 of the Florida Statutes.
Constitutional Officers, all departments controlled by the Board of County Commissioners, and outside
State and local agencies submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for
assistance, review and compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all the budgets of the
County departments, state agencies and nonprofit organizations, and makes his budget recommendations
to the Board of County Commissioners on or before July 15 of each year.
During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, in order for
the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing, the
Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt (at the fund level) the budgets for all governmental fund types.
The budgets legally adopted by the Board set forth the anticipated revenues by source and the
appropriations by function. Budgets for Enterprise and Internal Service funds are adopted on a basis
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is authorized to transfer
budgeted amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as the total appropriations of a
fund are not exceeded. Board approval to amend the budget is required when unanticipated revenues are
received that management wishes to have appropriated, thereby increasing the total appropriations of a
fund. Appropriations for the County lapse at the close of the fiscal year.
ii
This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes the funds of the primary government
(the Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the Property
Appraiser, the Sheriff, the Supervisor of Elections and the Tax Collector), and the blended component
units consisting of the Emergency Services District and the Solid Waste Disposal District.
These component units were included because generally accepted accounting principles require that
organizations which are fiscally dependent on the County and that financially benefit from the
relationship with the County be reported with the primary government (the County) as the reporting
entity. This CAFR does not include the Indian River County School District, the Indian River County
Mosquito Control District or the Indian River Medical Center.
Local Economy
According to the 2010 Census, Indian River County had a population of 138,028, which is a 53%
increase over the 1990 population of 90,208. While the population of the County has been steadily
increasing, so has the median age of residents living here. Nationally, average ages have risen due to the
increasing age of the baby boomer generation as well as the increase in life expectancy for all
Americans. In addition, Florida continues to be a popular destination for retirees. Based on the Bureau
of Economic Research, University of Florida, persons ages 15-44 make up the largest percentage of
residents in the County, followed by ages 45-64 and 65+ respectively with persons ages 14 and under
comprising the smallest portion of the population.
Indian River County's economy is made up of agriculture (citrus and cattle), tourism, light
manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade. Piper Aircraft, Inc., whose headquarters for aircraft research,
development and manufacturing operations are located in Vero Beach, is the largest manufacturing
employer in the area. CVS Pharmacy operates a distribution center which provides the distribution of
products to all CVS locations in the southern half of Florida. In 2012, INEOS New Planet BioEnergy
opened a state of the art center in Indian River County. The facility converts low-cost organic materials
such as household and vegetative waste into bioethanol for use as a renewable road transport fuel
(ethanol) while generating renewable power for export to the local electricity grid. This new technology
will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and energy generation in addition to reducing the
amount of waste going into our landfills. The Atlantic beaches and the Indian River, along with the
comfortable climate provide the basis for a year-round tourism industry. Residents can enjoy these
resources at any of the forty-one County parks, the Sebastian Inlet State Park or the Pelican Island
Wildlife Refuge.
The effects of the decline in the national economy continued to affect Indian River County in 2012.
Property tax values decreased from $14.1 billion in 2011 to $13.2 billion in 2012. Construction activity
had a slight increase over 2011, which is the third consecutive year of positive growth since the peak
activity in 2005. Please see Statistical Schedule 19 for more information.
The unemployment rate decreased from 13.7% in 2011 to 11.3 % in 2012.
Although Indian River County is a major producer of citrus with approximately 32,820 acres dedicated
to citrus production, over the last ten years production has decreased dramatically from 19.1 million
boxes in 2002 to 9.4 million in 2012.
iii
Long Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
Chapter 163 Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code Rule 9J-5 requires each local government
to have a Comprehensive Land Use Plan. An important part of this plan is the Capital Improvements
Program (CIP) which evaluates the need for public facilities in support of the Future Land Use Element,
to estimate the costs of improvements for which local government has fiscal responsibility, to analyze
the fiscal capacity of the local government to finance and construct improvements, and to adopt financial
policies to guide the funding and construction of the improvements. The CIP is updated annually and
encompasses a period of five years. Listed below are five major capital projects included in the current
CIP along with the source of funding and capital costs:
➢ Fire/EMS Station 13 — Construction of an additional station is planned to serve the expanding
south county population. The Emergency Services District reserves will provide $426,000 with
the remaining $1.7 million being funded by impact fees. The operating expense will be
approximately $2.1 million beginning in fiscal year 2014.
➢ South County Park — Phase III Improvements - The expansion of this park is necessary to
provide recreation facilities and programs to the growing population in the southern part of the
County. A multi-purpose intergenerational facility will be constructed at a cost of $5.5 million
with impact fees and one cent sales tax providing the funding. Ad valorem tax proceeds and user
fees as well as partnering agency contributions will fund increased operating costs which are
estimated to be about $118,000 per year.
• 66th Avenue Widening — This roadway is scheduled for widening from State Road 60 in Vero
Beach to 49th Street. Currently, this is one of the few main arterials connecting the north and
south county areas and traffic has increased substantially on this road. Estimated construction
costs are over $19.8 million. Funding will be from traffic impact fees, gas taxes and grants.
In the future, the County plans to expand 66th Avenue from 49th Street to the Sebastian City
limits.
➢ Oslo Road from 43"11 Avenue to 58th Avenue — This phase of Oslo Road widening will increase
the road from two to four lanes at a cost of approximately $5.5 million. Funding will be from
traffic impact fees and gas taxes.
➢ Crime Scene Unit Building — This is a renovation and expansion of an existing structure next to
the Sheriff's Office for additional evidence storage. Funding in the amount of $2.4 million will
be provided by both optional sales tax and impact fees.
Effective October 2008, the Board of County Commissioners decided that Indian River County shall
become a "green" county under the auspices of the Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc. with a goal of
becoming a sustainable community and county. Since there is an important public interest in promoting
the construction of energy-efficient and sustainable buildings, it is the County's policy to promote these
standards and demonstrate commitment to energy conservation, saving taxpayer money and raising
public awareness of environmental concerns. Indian River County has been certified as a "Gold" Status
Florida Green County since 2009. The Indian River County Transit Facility, whose construction was
completed in 2012, has been certified as the County's first "green" building. The facility was designed
and constructed in compliance with the Florida Green Building Coalition Standards for commercial
buildings. Some operational standards include controls that enhance indoor air quality and insure proper
ventilation for employees, design specifications for energy reduction of 25% below normal, recycling of
at least 75% of the construction waste, drought tolerant landscape materials, and furnishings made with
25% recycled content.
iv
Relevant Financial Policies
In accordance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, the County adopted an investment policy, which
guides the investment of County surplus funds. This policy establishes investment objectives, maturity
and liquidity requirements, portfolio composition, risk and diversification requirements, and authorized
investments. The primary objectives of investment activities are to preserve capital and maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs.
The secondary objective is to obtain competitive returns on the investment of County surplus funds.
During fiscal year 2012, County investments had yields ranging from 0.025% to 2.500%. The overall
annual yield of the portfolio as of September 30, 2012 was 0.49%. The County continues to earn high
financial strength bond ratings awarded by two major rating agencies due to these strong, conservative
policies.
On September 23, 2008, the County established the OPEB (Other Post -Employment Benefits) Trust. An
OPEB investment policy was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on February 3, 2009 and
revised on April 6, 2010. The objective was to establish an advisory committee and to provide short-
term and long-term investment guidelines. This policy also outlines the same criteria as noted in the
County's investment policy, as well as including performance measures. The change in net position for
the OPEB Trust for the fiscal year was $2.4 million. In addition, interest, dividend and mark -to -market
adjustments resulted in net investment income of $929,639. Yields ranged from 0.00% to 31.82%
throughout the year.
The County's goal is to maintain an overall fund balance equal to 30% of the annual budget in all of its
taxing funds, which provides a three month cushion for operating expenses. The three month reserve is
necessary due to the timing of property tax levies in the State of Florida. Although the fiscal year begins
in October, property tax monies are not typically received until mid to late December, which would
require the County to operate in a deficit position for the first two months of the fiscal year without this
reserve. Reserve funds are needed in order to allow the County to respond to events without facing
serious financial burdens. County policy is to maintain fund balance levels and prohibit the use of fund
balance to fund recurring expenses.
On September 21, 2010 the Board adopted a revised fund balance and reserve policy due to the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type
Definitions, which changed the categories and terminology used to describe fund balance. The new
categories change the focus from "financial resources available for appropriation" to "the extent to
which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which the amounts in
the fund can be spent". Please see County Note 19 for more information regarding fund balance.
In summary, Indian River County completed the year financially strong and well positioned. In a time
of a strained world-wide economy and low investment returns, the County stood committed to manage
funds and services for its citizens.
v
Awards and Acknowledeements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Indian River County for its
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. This was
the 29th consecutive year that the County has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In addition, Indian River County also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
for its annual budget document for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. This was the 21st consecutive year that the
County has received this prestigious award. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award, the County's budget document had to be judged proficient as a policy document,
financial plan, operations guide, and communications device.
I would like to thank the entire staff of the Finance Department for their invaluable assistance in the
preparation of this report. I would also like to thank the Board of County Commissioners and their staff,
and the other Constitutional Officers for their personal interest and support in planning and conducting
the financial operations of the County in a responsible and progressive manner. Finally, thanks to the
citizens for the trust you continue to place in your County and those who work to serve you.

The Honorable Board of County Commissioners and Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of governmental activities,
the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of Indian River County, Florida (the "County") as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the County's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions
on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of Indian River County, Florida as of September 30, 2012, and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and
the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and the Major Special
Revenue Funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report
dated March 12, 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 results of that testing and not to provide an opinion
on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results
of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that
the management's discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although
not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires 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.
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 financial 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. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The
introductory section and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on it.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
We offer readers of the County's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of the County for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here, in conjunction with additional information that we have
furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i -vi of this report. All amounts, unless
otherwise indicated, are expressed in millions of dollars.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The County's overall financial position improved over 2011.
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the County exceeded its liabilities by $1,006.6
million (net position). Of this amount, $146.8 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to
meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The government' s total net position increased by $1.5 million. Governmental activities
accounted for $4.3 million of this increase, which was offset by a $2.8 million decrease in
business -type activities net position.
• Governmental activities expenses reflected a 0.3% increase ($147.0 million in 2011 to $147.4
million in 2012) and business -type activities expenses reflected a 0.1% increase ($48.3 million in
2011 to $48.9 million in 2012).
• Unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $48.7 million, or a 44.5% increase from the
prior year general fund unassigned balance. One of the factors for the increase in the unassigned
amount was the change in the designation of $8.0 million in committed economic incentives
fund balance to unassigned fund balance due to the company not meeting the required timelines
in the agreement. The other factor was the change in the designation of over $10.0 million of
emergency and budget stabilization reserves to unassigned fund balance due to clarification of
the use of the committed fund balance category.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County's basic financial
statements. The County's basic financial statements are composed of three elements: 1) government -
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This
report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government -wide fmancial statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
County's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the County's assets, liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the County
is improving or deteriorating.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
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 grant revenue and earned, but unused, vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (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 the County include general
government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, human
services, culture and recreation, and court related functions. The major business -type activities include a
water and sewer utility, a solid waste disposal district, a golf course, and a building department.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the Board of County Commissioners, but
also the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections
and Tax Collector. The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 17-19 of this
report.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The County, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of
the funds of the County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
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, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financial 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 financial
decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The County maintains 35 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund Balance Sheet and in the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances for the general fund, four special revenue funds, and one capital project
fund. All are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 29 governmental funds are combined
into a single, aggregated presentation.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements located behind the notes to the financial statements. The combining statements for
the nonmajor governmental funds can be found on pages 101-151 of this report.
The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic
governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 20-31 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The County maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial
statements. The County uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer utility, solid waste
disposal district, golf course, and building department. Internal service funds are an accounting device
used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the County's various functions. The County uses
internal service funds to account for its fleet management, self insurance, and geographic information
systems. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type
functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial
statements.
Proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information as the government -wide
financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for the water and sewer utility, solid waste disposal district, golf course, and building
department, which are considered to be major funds of the County. Conversely, internal service funds
are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements.
Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements
behind the notes to the financial statements on pages 153-157 of this report. The basic proprietary fund
financial statements can be found on pages 33-39 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. The Indian River County OPEB Trust holds the assets of the County's other
postemployment benefits. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the County's own programs. The
accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary
fund financial statement can be found on pages 40-41 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found
on pages 43-98 of this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also contains required
supplementary information concerning Indian River County's progress in funding its obligations to
provide other postemployment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be
found on page 99 of this report.

Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the County, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities by
$1,006.6 million at the close of the fiscal year. By far, the largest portion of the County's net position
(72%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, intangibles,
machinery, and equipment), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. The County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending. Although the County's investment in its capital assets is
reported as net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be
provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.

A portion of the County's net position (14%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the unrestricted net position ($146.8 million) may
be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Overall, the County's
net position increased less than 1%. In governmental activities, the decrease in unrestricted net position
was due to the early payoff of bonds and the increase in net investment in capital assets was a result of
right of way purchases and construction of roads and beach restoration projects. In business -type
activities, the increase in unrestricted net position and decrease in net investment in capital assets, was a
net result of decreasing book value of capital assets and the decreasing amount of debt outstanding.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities net position increased by $4.3 million. Key elements of this increase are as
follows:
• Overall program revenues increased $5.0 million.
1) Charges for services decreased by $0.5 million or 3%, due to a one time reimbursement of
court fees from the federal government in fiscal year 2011.
2) Operating grant and contribution revenues in 2012 were $0.3 million higher, an increase of
4% from 2011. This was the net effect of a decrease in housing assistance grants and an
increase in contributions for beach and park improvements.
3) Capital grants were $5.2 million higher in 2012 than in 2011, an overall increase of 273%.
This was largely due to increased physical environment capital grants ($1.0 million higher)
for an environmental land purchase and increased transportation capital grants ($4.1 million
higher) for the completion of the County's transit administration building and a sidewalk
project.
• Overall general revenues decreased by $4.5 million mainly due to decreased property tax values.
• The governmental activities expenses were $0.4 million higher in 2012 than in 2011. Increases of
$1.4 million in transportation and $1.6 million in culture and recreation expenses were mainly
due to impact fee refunds. Increases of $1.1 million in physical environment were due to an
environmental land purchase. Budget reductions resulted in decreases of $2.2 million in general
government expenses, $0.9 million in public safety expenses, and $0.6 million in the remaining
expenses.
Business -type Activities
Business -type activities net position decreased by $2.8 million. Key elements of this decrease are as
follows:
• Overall program revenues increased $1.6 million.
1) Charges for services increased by $1.1 million or 3%. A gradual improvement in the local
economy has attributed to the following increases over 2011 revenues: water and sewer
charges increased by $0.5 million or 2%, solid waste revenues increased $0.4 million or 4%,
the golf course revenues increased by $0.05 million or 2%, and the building revenues
increased by $0.15 million or 9%.
2) Capital grants and contributions were $0.5 million higher in 2012 than in 2011, an overall
increase of 25%. This was largely due to a $0.4 million increase in customer impact fee
contributions from 2011 to 2012 in the water and sewer fund.
• Interest earnings decreased by $0.1 million or 17% from the preceding year due to lower interest
rates.
8
Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
• Other miscellaneous general revenues decreased by $0.6 million from the preceding year. This
was due to the sale of numerous solid waste capital assets in fiscal year 2011 upon privatization
of the County's landfill.
• Overall expenses were $0.6 million or 1% higher in 2012 than in 2011. The golf course had $0.1
million or 4% lower expenses in 2012 than in 2011 and the building department had $0.1 million
or 6% lower expenses in 2012 than in 2011 due to staff and benefit cost reductions. The water
and sewer utilities expenses were $0.5 million or 1% higher in 2012 than in 2011 due to the write
off of bond issuance costs and the loss on the demolition of two water and sewer buildings. The
solid waste expenses were $0.3 million or 3% higher in 2012 than in 2011 due to an increase in
the recycling services contract.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds
Unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the County's net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year. Approximately 26% of this total amount ($48.5 million)
constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the County's discretion.
The remainder of fund balance is presented in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily
on the extent to which the County is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which
amounts in those funds can be spent. The County had fund balance in 1) a nonspendable category for
inventories, prepaid items, and advances to other funds ($0.9 million), 2) a restricted category for
resources that are either restricted externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations
of other governments or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation
($117.5 million), 3) a committed category for constraints imposed by approval of ordinances and
contracts by Board of County Commissioners ($3.8 million), and 4) an assigned category for constraints
by the County's intent to use for specific purposes ($13.1 million).
The two largest restricted amounts are in the Impact Fees Fund with a $23.1 million restricted fund
balance and the Optional Sales Tax Fund with a $50.5 million restricted fund balance. The fund balance
of the Secondary Roads Construction Fund ($12.7 million), sixty percent of the Impact Fees Fund ($13.8
million) and seventy-five percent of the Optional Sales Tax Fund is slated for major road expansions
throughout the County.
The County's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $183.8 million, which is a
decrease of $13.2 million over the prior year of $197.0 million. Contributing factors to the $13.2
million decrease in fund balance are:
• Fund balance in the General Fund decreased by $2.5 million. This decrease was mainly due to
the early payoff of the general obligation bonds.
9
Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
• Fund balance in the Emergency Services District Fund decreased by $1.9 million, largely the
result of decreased revenue from property tax values.
• In the Impact Fees Fund, fund balance decreased $9.4 million. This was largely due to the $2.9
million in refunds issued to County residents for impact fees paid but remained unspent after six
years and the $9.0 million in transportation spending due to major road construction and right-of-
way purchases.
• Fund balance in the Optional Sales Tax Fund increased by $6.2 million due to budgeted projects
not yet completed.
Proprietary funds
Unrestricted net position at the end of the year amounted to $16.0 million in the Solid Waste Disposal
District Fund, ($0.01) million in the Golf Course Fund, $4.1 million in the County Building Fund, and
$50.2 million in the County Utilities Fund.
Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the
County's business -type activities.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During the year there was a $7 million increase in appropriations between the original and final
amended budget. The main components are as follows:
• $3,536,293 grants appropriations and prior year rollovers for the Senior Resource Association to
provide County -wide public transportation.
• $3,050,000 to call the remaining Land Acquisition G.O. Bonds, Series 2001.
• $123,000 Local Jobs Grants
• $111,500 Homeland Security Grants
Actual revenues exceeded final budget by $3.6 million for the following reasons:
• $1,000,000 Windsor donation reclassified from escrow fund to general fund
• $556,845 Ad Valorem actual at 96.4% - budgeted at 95%
• $437,000 Reimbursement for lower than anticipated insurance claims
Actual expenditures were $3.3 million lower than anticipated for the following reasons:
• $1,100,000 Senior Resource Association grants budgeted but not expended in FY 11/12
• $233,470 Medicaid invoices backlogged 2 months

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The County's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of
September 30, 2012, amounts to $810.7 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes land, right-of-way, buildings and improvements, intangibles, equipment,
infrastructure and construction in progress. The overall decrease in the County's investment in capital
assets for the current fiscal year was less than 1%.
Governmental activities had the following major increases during the fiscal year:
• An increase in infrastructure primarily due to the capitalization of the Sector 3 Beach Restoration
Project ($12.9 million), the 53rd Street road expansion project from Kings Highway to US 1
($9.0 million), the 82nd Avenue bridge over the Lateral "D" Canal ($1.3 million), and a bridge
($2.2 million) and sidewalk ($1.2 million) along Old Dixie Highway.
• An increase in buildings and improvements primarily due to the completion of the Quadrangle
Softball Fields at Vero Beach Sports Village ($2.4 million), and the Senior Resource Association
transit facility ($2.3 million).
• An increase in land due to the purchase of the Pressley Ranch property ($1.0 million).
Business -type activities had the following major increases and decreases during the fiscal year:
• An increase in buildings and improvements was due to the capitalization of the North County
Reverse Osmosis Plant Wells 4-9 Project ($4.0 million), the North County Wastewater
Treatment Plant Storage/Repump Facility ($2.1 million), and the North County reverse osmosis
plant brine line ($0.9 million).
• An increase in land due to the purchase of 13 acres for the South County brine project ($0.7
million).

The County received an increase in all of their bond ratings with the recalibration of the bond rating
system. The County's General Obligation underlying rating from Standard & Poors is "AAA" and "A-"
on the Revenue Bonds. Standard & Poor's rating is required on all issues. A second rating from Fitch or
Moody's is also recommended.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES

departments, Constitutional Officers, and outside agencies were asked to trim their budgets by 3% from
the previous year. Many cost saving measures have been taken to adjust for declining revenues. For
example, mid -year privatization of County Beach Park's Maintenance and related operations resulted in
the elimination of four (4) full-time positions and an annual savings of $163,613. In summary, staff has
undertaken a critical review of all functions to streamline operations as much as possible without
impacting service levels. The total proposed budget is $252,135,490, a decrease of $54,879,451 or
17.9% from the current year. This represents a drop of 46.6% from the approved FY 2006/07 amount of
$472,420,328.
The single greatest individual expense in the budget is personnel services. In order to balance the
budget with the reduced revenues, seven (7) full-time (FT) positions were eliminated in mid -year of FY
11/12. Additional decreases of nine (9) full-time (FT) positions have been proposed for next fiscal year.
Indian River County, like the nation overall, has been experiencing a continuation of the economic
slowdown this year. Some revenues have leveled off and are even showing signs of a slight increase.
Therefore, our revenue projections for next year are mixed. For example, Half -Cent Sales Tax is
increasing $202,234 or 2.8%, while interest earnings are expected to drop $58,000 or 4.3%. State shared
revenues are expected to increase by $61,952 or 2.4%.
The tax roll is decreasing by 3.6% compared to a decrease of 6.6% last year. Building permit revenues
are expected to increase $50,000 or 5.0%. Franchise fees are decreasing by $132,500 or 1.5%.
Advanced life support charges are expected to increase by $360,000 next year. Many of the revenue
increases are following five years of substantial decline.
During the current fiscal year, the County approved paying off the remaining bonds early at the July 1,
2012 call date. This will provide a savings of about $250,000 in interest payments over the next four
years. Additionally, this allows for the elimination of the millage needed to service these bonds,
allowing for an additional decrease of $949,364 in taxes levied.
Total debt service expenses are budgeted at $4,754,745, an increase of $6,304, or 0.1%. The millage
rate is 0.3799, an increase of 0.0152, or 4.2%. This millage needs to be increased to generate the same
revenues as last year in order to fund the debt service amount.
Solid waste disposal district assessment rates remain unchanged, along with the street lighting and
M.S.B.U. districts.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ (13,182,985)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense.
Expenditures for capital assets
Less current year loss on assets
Less current year depreciation
27,751,553
(948,213)
(20,004,763)
6,798,577
Governmental funds do not report capital assets contributed from outside the
entity. However, those assets are recognized in the statement of net position
and the capital contribution is recognized in the statement of activities. 1,918,753
Assets transferred from governmental funds to proprietary funds must be recognized as
a transfer out on the statement of activities. (40,489)
Payments of bond principal, pollution remediation, and medicaid settlement costs are
expenditures in the governmental funds, but the payment reduces long-term liabilities
in the statement of net position.
Bond principal payment
Bond premium payment
Medicaid settlement
Pollution remediation costs
Changes in accrued compensated absences do not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

(790,434)
83,300 7,446,091
(228,998)
Governmental funds report interest and OPEB expenditures based on when they are paid.
The statement of activities reports these expenses as they are incurred. This is the
net number of the prior year and current year accrual.
Accrued bond interest expense 75,842
Accrued OPEB expense 132,097 207,939
Some revenues reported in the governmental funds have been recognized as revenues in
the prior fiscal year in the statement of activities. 236,710
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of insurance, fleet and
geographic information systems services to individual funds. The net costs of the
internal service funds are reported in governmental activities.
Governmental funds report non-exchange transactions when the applicable eligibility
requirements have been met and resources are available. However, in the statement
of activities, non-exchange transactions are recognized when the eligibility requirements
are met. This is the net number of the prior year and current year accrual.
Some interest revenues reported in the statement of activities do not provide current
financial resources, therefore, are not reported as revenues in governmental funds.
This is the net number of the prior year and current year accrual.

NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Indian River County, Florida, (the "County") is a political subdivision of the State pursuant to Article
VIII, Section 1(a) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. Created on June 29, 1925 by an act of
Legislature, separating it from St. Lucie County, the County encompasses approximately 497 square
miles of land with an estimated population of 138,694. The County is governed by the Board of County
Commissioners and five elected constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller,
Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections, and Tax Collector) in accordance with state
statutes and regulations. The constitutional officers maintain separate accounting records and budgets
from the Board of County Commissioners. The Constitution of the State of Florida, Article VIII,
Section 1(d) created the constitutional officers and Article VIII, Section 1(e), created the Board of
County Commissioners.
The financial statements of the County have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial
reporting. The County applies all GASB Pronouncements in the preparation of the financial statements
of the enterprise funds as well as all FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. The GASB periodically
updates its codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes
GAAP for governmental units.
A. Reporting Entity
The concept underlying the definition of the reporting entity is that elected officials are accountable to
their constituents for their actions. The reporting entity's financial statements should allow users to
distinguish between the primary government (the County) and its component units. However, some
component units, because of the closeness of their relationships with the County, should be blended as
though they are part of the County. Otherwise, most component units should be discretely presented.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial reporting entity consists of: (1)
the primary government (the County), (2) organizations for which the County is financially
accountable, and (3) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with
the County are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete. The County is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization's governing body and (a) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (b) there is a
potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial
burdens on, the County.
The County may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the County
regardless of whether the organization has (a) a separately elected governing board, (b) a governing
board appointed by a higher level of government, or (c) a jointly appointed board. Based on these
criteria, County management examined all organizations, which are legally separate, in order to
determine which organizations, if any, should be included in the County's financial statements.
Management determined that the Solid Waste Disposal District and the Emergency Services District
were the only organizations that should be included in the County's financial statements as blended
component units.

NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
A. Reporting Entity — Continued
Blended Component Units
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Created pursuant to County Ordinance 87-67, the Board of
County Commissioners serves as the Board for the SWDD and sets the non ad valorem assessment fees
for the SWDD. Although legally separate, the SWDD is appropriately blended as a proprietary fund
type (enterprise) component unit into the primary government.
Emergency Services District (EMS) Created pursuant to County Ordinance 90-25, the Board of
County Commissioners serves as the Board for the EMS and sets the millage rate for the EMS.
Although legally separate, the EMS is appropriately blended as a governmental fund type (special
revenue) component unit into the primary government.
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The basic financial statements of the County are composed of the following:
• Government -wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the financial statements
1. Government -wide Financial Statements
Government -wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole,
except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and
business -type activities of the primary government (including its blended component units).
Governmental activities, 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.
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. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange -like transactions are recognized when the
exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from
nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 33
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions.
Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and payments made by parties
outside of the reporting government's citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program.
Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net
expense of each program.

B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting - Continued
1. Government -wide Financial Statements - Continued
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government -wide financial
statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Issuance of long-term debt is recorded as a liability in
the government -wide financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to
reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related
liability, rather than as an expenditure.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide
financial statements. The County chooses to eliminate the indirect costs between governmental
activities to avoid a "doubling up" effect. However, interfund services provided and used, such as the
sale of gas and diesel from Fleet Management to the government, are not eliminated in the statement of
activities.
2. Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the County is organized and operated on the basis of separate
funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are
accounted for with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows
of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund balance, revenues and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the primary government's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds
are presented after the government -wide financial statements. These statements display information
about major funds individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise
funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
County considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 51 days of the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. Franchise fees, sales taxes, gas taxes, operating and capital grants, and interest associated
with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized
as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable only
when the County receives cash.

2. Fund Financial Statements - Continued
Governmental Funds - Continued
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets, deferred outflows of
resources, and current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on the balance
sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources".
Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Non-current portions of special assessments due to governmental funds are reported on their balance
sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. Non-current portions of notes receivable and
advances to other funds are offset by fund balance reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect fund balances, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The issuance of long-term debt is recorded as an other financing
source rather than as a fund liability. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary Funds
The County's enterprise funds and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial
statements, proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are
delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic
resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included
on their balance sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in total net position. The County applies all GASB Pronouncements in the
preparation of the financial statements of the enterprise funds as well as all FASB and AICPA
Pronouncements.
Proprietary fund operating revenues result from exchange transactions associated with the principal
activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up
essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary
activities. Operating expenses are costs incurred to provide services, whereas non-operating expenses
are costs of debt financings, amortization of intangible assets and losses on the sale of assets.

reported as a reduction of the related liabilities, rather than as an expense.
Fiduciary Funds
The fiduciary funds financial statements include financial information for the agency fund and the other
postemployment benefit trust fund. The agency fund of the County primarily represents assets held by
the County in a custodial capacity for other individuals or governments. The other postemployment
benefits trust fund (Trust) accounts for activities of the Trust, which accumulates resources for health
insurance benefit payments for current retirees and for current employees upon their retirement. The
agency and Trust fund statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
C. Basis of Presentation
GASB Statement 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets, liabilities, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category and the
governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The County has used
GASB 34 minimum criteria for major fund determination and has also electively disclosed funds that
either had debt outstanding or specific community focus as major funds. The nonmajor funds are
combined in a column in the fund financial statements and detailed in the combining section.
1. Governmental Major Funds
General Fund — The General Fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for
all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

4. Non-current Governmental Assets/Liabilities:
GASB Statement 34 requires non-current governmental assets, such as land and buildings, and non-
current governmental liabilities, such as general obligation bonds and capital leases, be reported in the
governmental activities column in the government -wide Statement of Net Position.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Fund
Balances
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased. The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use
by all funds. Earnings from the pooled investments are allocated to the respective funds based on
applicable cash participation by each fund. The investment pool is managed such that all participating
funds have the ability to deposit and withdraw cash as if they were demand deposit accounts. Therefore,
all balances representing participants' equity in the investment pools are classified as cash and cash
equivalents for financial statement purposes.
In addition, longer-term investments are held by several of the County's funds and are reported as
restricted cash on these statements. Cash and cash equivalents of the constitutional officers are
maintained in separate accounts, but have been combined with the Board's cash and cash equivalents
for financial statement purposes.
When restricted and unrestricted resources are available, expenses are paid first from restricted
resources.
2. Investments
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, money market
funds, Florida PRIME Fund (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund
Investment (SBA) Fund A), Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund, and the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust Fund. Investments are reported at fair value based upon the average price obtained
from three brokers/dealers. The SBA and Trust values are based upon the fair market value per share of
the underlying portfolio. Refer to Note 4-C, Investments, for further information on individual
investments.
3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The County provides an allowance for water and sewer accounts receivables that may become
uncollectible. At September 30, 2012, this allowance was $424,493. No other allowances for doubtful
accounts are maintained since other accounts receivable are considered collectible as reported at
September 30, 2012.

4. Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds". Any residual balances outstanding
between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the government -wide
financial statements as "internal balances". All receivables are shown net of allowance for doubtful
accounts. Receivables in excess of 120 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for
doubtful accounts.
5. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting, with the exception of the Shooting Range and Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventories
which are valued using the average cost method of accounting. Inventories of all funds are recorded as
expenditures (expenses) when consumed rather than when purchased.
6. Prepaid Items
Prepaid items in the governmental funds represent prepayments for services that will be used in future
periods. The County's policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather
than when the cash is disbursed.
7. Other Assets Held For Resale
This account represents assets the County has purchased with the intent to resell. In fiscal year 2009,
the County was allocated $4.6 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's
Neighborhood Stabilization Program under a Community Development Block Grant. This funding was
to be used by local governments for acquiring, redeveloping, and reselling foreclosed properties that
might otherwise become sources of abandonment within their communities. At September 30, 2012,
seven homes remain unsold. The County intends to resell these homes in the next fiscal year. They are
reported at the lower of cost or market value on the balance sheet of the County's governmental funds.
8. Restricted Net Position
Certain resources of the County are classified as restricted net position on the statement of net position
because their use is limited either by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; or by
restrictions imposed externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments. In a fund with both restricted and unrestricted net position, qualified expenses are
considered to be paid first from restricted net position and then from unrestricted net position. Further
information on the restrictions can be found in Note 19.

9. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, right-of-
ways, water and sewer distribution systems, beach restoration, stormwater systems and similar items),
and intangible assets (e.g. software, easements, and rights), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business -type activities column in the government -wide financial statements. The County defines
capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 or more and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year. Except for roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981, assets are
recorded at historical cost. Roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981 are reported at
estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date
of donations. Transfers of capital assets within the County are recorded at their carrying value at the
time of the transfer.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset nor materially
extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of
the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
The Board holds legal title to the capital assets used in the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit
Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector, and is
accountable for them under Florida Law.
The Sheriff is accountable for and thus maintains capital asset records pertaining only to equipment
used in his operations. These assets have been combined with the Board's governmental activities
capital assets in the statement of net position.
Property, plant, equipment, intangible, and infrastructure assets of the primary government, as well as
the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:
Assets Years
Building and improvements 10 — 50
Machinery and equipment 3 — 10
Utility distribution system 25 — 50
Road and bridge infrastructure 20 50
Fiberoptics 20
Software 3-5

10. Capitalization of Interest
Interest costs related to bond issues are capitalized during the construction period. These costs are
netted against applicable interest earnings on construction fund investments. During the current period,
the County did not have any capitalized interest.
11. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent 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. The County reports the deferred charge on refundings in the amount
of $2,875,239 in this category on the government -wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on
refundings results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price.
This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position may report a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies
to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The County only has one item, unavailable revenue, which arises under the modified accrual basis of
accounting and is reported on the governmental funds balance sheet. The source of the unavailable
revenue is a special assessment on road paving. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amounts become available.
12. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues represent revenues, which are available but unearned. At September 30, 2012, the
total amount of unearned revenues reported on the statement of net position for the governmental
activities is $189,294 and for the business -type activities is $29,652.
13. Accrued Compensated Absences
The County accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and sick leave when earned by the employee. The
current portion is the amount estimated to be used in the following year. The non-current portion is the
amount estimated to be used in subsequent fiscal years. Both the current and non-current estimated
accrued compensated absences amounts for governmental funds are maintained separately and
represent a reconciling item between the fund and government -wide presentations.

14. Obligation for Bond Arbitrage Rebate
Pursuant to Section 148(f) of the U. S. Internal Revenue Code, the County must rebate to the United
States Government the excess of interest earned from the investment of certain debt proceeds and
pledged revenues over the yield rate of the applicable debt. The County uses the "revenue reduction"
approach in accounting for rebatable arbitrage. This approach treats excess earnings as a reduction of
revenue. The County has no arbitrage liability outstanding as of September 30, 2012.
15. Landfill Closure Costs
Under the terms of current state and federal regulations, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) is
required to place a final cover on closed landfill areas, and to perform certain monitoring and
maintenance functions for a period of up to thirty years after closure. The SWDD recognizes these costs
of closure and post -closure maintenance over the active life of each landfill area, based on landfill
capacity used during the period. Required obligations for closure and post -closure costs are recognized
in the Solid Waste Disposal District Enterprise Fund.
16. Unamortized Bond Discounts and Premiums
Bond discounts and premiums associated with the issuance of proprietary fund revenue bonds are
amortized according to the straight-line method over the remaining life of the bonds. For financial
reporting, unamortized bond discounts and premiums are netted against the applicable long-term debt.
17. Capital Contributions
The capital contributions accounted for in the proprietary fund types represent contributions from other
funds, developers, state and federal grant programs, and impact fees charged to new customers for their
anticipated burden on the existing system. The contributions amount is reported after non-operating
revenues and expenses on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position in
accordance with GASB Statement 33. Capital contributions for the governmental funds are reported on
the Statement of Activities in accordance with GASB Statement 34 and represent contributions of
capital assets from developers and state agencies.
18. New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective October 1, 2011, the Board implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 63 Financial
Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position and
GASB Statement No. 65 Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities.

primarily results from the long-term economic focus of the statement of net position versus the current
financial resources focus of the governmental funds balance sheet.
Capital related items
When capital assets (property, plant, equipment, intangibles) that are to be used in governmental

Deferred Inflow of Resources — Unavailable Revenue
Deferred inflows of resources reported on the statement of net position differ from the amount reported
in governmental funds due to special assessments. Governmental fund financial statements report
revenues, which are measurable but not available as unavailable revenue, a deferred inflow of
resources. However, unavailable revenues in governmental funds are susceptible to full accrual on
government -wide financial statements.
Unavailable revenues $ 310,506
Internal service funds
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of fleet management, insurance
activities, and GIS services to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds
are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position because they primarily serve
governmental activities of the County.
Internal service funds $ 26,879,571
Accrued grant revenues
Some grant revenues are not recognized in the current period because the resources are not available;
therefore, these revenues are not reported in the fund.

B. Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the
Statement of Activities
The "net change in fund balances" for governmental funds, ($13,182,985), differs from the "change in
net position" for governmental activities, $4,303,294 reported in the statement of activities. The
differences arise primarily from the long-term economic focus of the statement of activities versus the
current financial resources focus of the governmental funds. The effect of the differences is illustrated
below.
Capital related items
When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the
resources expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in
the statement of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. As a result, fund balances decrease by the amount of financial
resources expended, whereas net position decreases by the amount of depreciation expense charged for
the year.
Capital outlay $ 27,751,553
Depreciation expense (20,004,763)
Transfers to business -type activities (40,489)
Capital contributions 1,918,753
Loss on assets (948,213)
Difference $ 8,676,841
Long-term debt transactions
Payments of bond principal, bond premium, and pollution remediation costs are reported as an
expenditure in the governmental funds and, thus, have the effect of reducing fund balance because
current financial resources have been used. However, the payments reduce the liabilities in the
statement of net position and do not result in an expense in the statement of activities.
Bond principal payments made $ 8,060,000
Bond premium payments made 93,225
Medicaid settlement costs (790,434)
Pollution remediation costs 83,300
Total $ 7,446,091
Governmental funds report interest and OPEB expenditures based on when they are paid. The statement

NOTE 3 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The County uses the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
(1) The constitutional officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to certain divisions within
the Florida Department of Revenue and the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation, a proposed
operating budget for the following fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them, as set forth in Chapter 129 of the Florida Statutes.
(2) The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on the operating budgets for
the Tax Collector and the Property Appraiser included in the General Fund.
(3) Constitutional officers, all departments controlled by the Board, and outside state and local
agencies submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for assistance, review
and compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all County departments, state agencies and
nonprofit organization's budgets and makes his budget recommendation to the Board.
(4) On or before July 15 of each year, the County Administrator and the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submit to the Board a tentative
budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures and the means
of financing them. The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by fund on a
departmental level.
(5) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065 of the Florida Statutes in
order for the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing,
the Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt the budgets at the fund level for all but one nonmajor
governmental fund, the Supervisor of Elections Special Revenue Fund. The budgets legally adopted by
the Board set forth the anticipated revenues by source and the appropriations by function.
(6) Formal budgetary integration on an object level is used as a management control device for the
governmental and proprietary funds of the County. Management is authorized to transfer budgeted
amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as management does not exceed the total
appropriations of a fund. Board approval to amend the budget is only required when unanticipated
revenues are received that management wishes to have appropriated, thereby increasing the total
appropriations of a fund.
(7) Budgets for the governmental and proprietary fund types are adopted on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(8) Appropriations for the County lapse at the close of the fiscal year.

NOTE 4 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds except those
whose cash and investments must be segregated due to bond covenants or other legal restrictions.
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the primary government's deposits was $31,412,676
and the bank balance was $36,557,919. The County's policy requires all deposits with financial
institutions to be 100% insured by federal depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified
public depositories to the State Treasurer, in accordance with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes also known
as the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. The Act established a Trust Fund, maintained by the
State Treasurer, which is a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member
financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a member fails. Cash on hand at September 30, 2012
was $25,859.
B. Accrued Interest
Interest earnings on U.S. Treasury Notes and government agency bonds are recorded in the cash and
investment pools and then allocated to each fund based on each fund's average monthly balance. As of
September 30, 2012, accrued interest for the County's portfolio totaled $143,142. The remaining
accrued interest is reflected in utilities and road paving assessments.
C. Investments
On August 12, 2008, the County, with the exception of the Tax Collector, updated their investment
policy pursuant to Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, which established permitted investments, asset
allocation limits, issuer limits, credit ratings requirements and maturity limits to protect the County's
cash and investments. The Tax Collector adopted a formal investment policy in February 2005, and
revised the policy in November 2009 and August 2011. The Clerk elected not to adopt a formal
investment policy and selected the alternative investment guidelines as provided by Florida Statutes
subsection 17, 218.415.

Florida PRIME (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Investment (SBA)
Fund A) is a money market fund classified as a "2a-7 like fund" using the SEC investment requirements
for 2a-7 funds. The fund was established by Florida Statute 218.405 and is administered by the Florida
State Board of Administration.
At September 30, 2012, the County had $602,869 invested in Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund
B), a fluctuating net asset value pool. The State Board of Administration (SBA) determined that Fund
B did not meet the requirements of a SEC 2a7 -like fund; therefore, a fair value factor (total net asset
value of Fund B divided by total participant balances) was provided for reporting the value of the
County's participation in Fund B at fiscal year-end. This resulted in a negative adjustment of 5.1% of
the portfolio balance, or $30,765. Consequently, the net investment in Fund B is reported at $572,104.
The Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund is a pool of various securities with maturities of
less than five years. The fund was established by Florida Statute 163.01, is administered by the Florida
Association of Court Clerks, and is marked to market daily.
Interest Rate Risk
The County's investment policy limits interest rate risk by attempting to match investment maturities
with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements. All investments must have stated
maturities of ten (10) years or less and no more than 25% of the portfolio shall be invested in
instruments with stated final maturities greater than five (5) years. The portfolio shall have securities
with varying maturity and at least 10% of the portfolio shall be invested in readily available funds. All
constitutional officers with the exception of the Tax Collector follow this policy. The Tax Collector's
policy is to limit maturities to 24 months or less and maintain 95% of the portfolio in readily available
funds.
Credit Risks
Florida Statutes Section 218.415 and the County's investment policy limit investments to the following:
1. Direct obligations of the United States Treasury;
2. Florida PRIME (formerly known as Fund A) and Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund B);
3. Florida Local Government Investment Trust Funds;
4. Interest-bearing time deposits or savings in qualified public depositories as defined in Section
280.02 Florida Statutes;
5. Federal agencies and instrumentalities;
6. Securities of, or other interests in, any open-end or closed-end management -type investment
company or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. ss.
80a-1 et seq., as amended from time to time, provided that the portfolio of such investment
company or investment trust is limited to obligations of the United States Government or any
agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such
United States Government obligations, and provided that such investment company or investment
trust takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian;

7. Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit
quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;
8. Repurchase agreements with a term of one year or less collateralized by direct obligations of the
United States Government which have maturities of three (3) years or less and a market value
103% or more of the repurchase amount.
Currently, Fund B participants are permitted to withdraw scheduled amounts as assets become liquid.
Full realization of the principal value of Fund B assets is uncertain and dependent upon the
collateralized securities underlying each holding and is contingent upon future market conditions.
Concentration Risk
The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners and the Tax Collector follow their own
investment policies. Both policies have established asset allocation and issuer limits to reduce
concentration of credit risk. Their investments are stated at fair value.
The Board's investment policy does not allow for more than 20% of the entire portfolio to be invested
in any one issuer, with the exception of United States Treasury Obligations and state authorized pools.
No more than 10% of the portfolio may be placed in certificates of deposit (CD) and no more than $3
million of the portfolio may be placed in certificates of deposit with any one financial institution. No
more than 5% of the portfolio may be placed in any one money market fund, mutual fund, or
intergovernmental investment pool.
The Tax Collector's cash and investment policy limits portfolio composition to the following maximum
guidelines:
Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund 95%
Florida Trust Day to Day Fund 95%
Direct Obligations of the U.S. Government 25%
Money Market, CD's, and Savings Accounts 50%
Securities & Exchange Commission Money Funds 25%
Bank Super NOW Accounts 95%
Bank Repo Agreements 50%
United States Government Agencies 25%
The Clerk's investment in the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund of $4.205 million, the Tax Collector's
investment of $25,248, and the Board's investment of $12.439 million have a combined total of
$16.670 million.

Custodial Credit Risk
The Board's investment policy pursuant to Section 218.415 (18), Florida Statutes requires securities to
be registered and shall be held with a third party custodian and all securities purchased by, and all
collateral obtained by, the Board shall be held in the name of the Board. The securities must be held in
an account separate and apart from the assets of the financial institution. As of September 30, 2012, the
County's investment portfolio in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and money market funds, was held by
The Bank of New York/Mellon. Additional investments include the following: the SunTrust NOW
account, the Regions Bank Money Markets, CenterState Bank certificates of deposit, the Florida Local
Government Investment Trust (held by the Bank of New York/Mellon) and the Florida Trust Day to
Day Fund (held by UMB Bank).
D. OPEB Trust Investments
Funds are held in the name of the Indian River County OPEB Trust (OPEB Trust), an irrevocable trust,
by a third party custodian, Bank of New York/Mellon. The investments are reported at fair value based
upon market -close price on the last business day of each month.
The County approved a separate investment policy for the OPEB Trust assets on February 3, 2009 (last
amended on April 6, 2010). The County adopted a broadly diversified portfolio composition consisting
of equity, debt, and cash and cash equivalents. Asset allocations are divided between short-term and
long- term investments. Short-term asset allocations include cash and cash equivalents with maturities
of 180 days or less. Long-term asset allocations range from 0-60% for equities, 0-60% for fixed income
securities, and 0-100% for cash and cash equivalents.

Taxable values for all property are established as of January 1, which is the date of lien, for the fiscal
year starting October 1. Property tax revenues recognized for the 2011-2012 fiscal year were levied in
October 2011. All taxes are due and payable on November 1 or as soon as the assessment roll is
certified and delivered to the Tax Collector. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4%
in November, 3% in December, 2% in January, and 1% in February. Taxes paid in March are without
discount. All unpaid taxes become delinquent as of April 1. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via
the sale of tax certificates on or prior to June 1; therefore, there were no material taxes receivable at
fiscal year end.

NOTE 14 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS
Current regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) require the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to place a final
cover on closed landfill areas, and to maintain those areas for up to thirty years after closure. The
SWDD annually obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure and post -closure costs
from its consulting engineers. The SWDD recognizes the expenses associated with the final closure and
post -closure maintenance of the landfill areas over the active life of those areas. The provision for
closure costs reported in the financial statements as operating expense represents the portion of these
estimated future outlays which are allocable to the current year based on the amount of capacity used.
The total unrecognized closure and post -closure costs are approximately $3.6 million. These costs will
be recognized in future periods as the remaining capacity is filled. The County's policy is to fund 100%
of the current year's allocation (based upon the consulting engineers' report) of both closure and post -
closure care.
Required closure and post -closure sub -accounts:
Capacity Estimated
Used Closing
Amount
Closure Costs
Class I - Segments I and II 58% 2030 $ 6,801,947
Construction and Demolition - Cell I 89% 2017 1,118,866
Post -closure Costs
Class I - Segments I and II N/A N/A 2,413,435
Construction and Demolition - Cell I N/A N/A 179,488
Total account balance at 9/30/12: $ 10,513,736
All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and post -closure
functions in current dollars. Actual costs may be different due to inflation, deflation, changes in
technology, or changes in laws and regulations. The SWDD is required by FDEP to annually show proof
of ability to finance closure and post -closure costs. The SWDD is making annual deposits to a closure
and post -closure cost escrow account to provide for the financing of future closure -related expenses. At
September 30, 2012, $10,442,551 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government Investment Trust
and $71,185 was on deposit in the County's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:
Balance Balance
10/01/11 Deposits Withdrawals 09/30/12
Closure and long-term care costs $ 10,016,236 $ 497,500 $ - $10,513,736
Of the $10,513,736 liability for closure and long-term care costs, management estimates that no funds
will be due and payable within one year.

NOTE 15 — POLLUTION REMEDIATION
In accordance with GASB Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution
Remediation Obligations, a consultant evaluated five sites to assess pollution remediation liabilities.
The consultant calculated for each site an expected value (EV) estimate for pollution remediation based
on three plausible mitigation scenarios. An obligating event occurred at each of the following five
sites requiring the County (using the consultant's services) to attempt to accrue a liability for pollution
remediation. The liability totaled $2,621,800 at September 30, 2012 for all five sites. The pollution
remediation obligation is an estimate and subject to changes resulting from price increases and
reductions, technology, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. There are no estimated
recoveries that would reduce the liability.
Governmental Activities:
1) South Gifford Road closed landfill — The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is
chlorinated solvent contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring, bioremediation and
reporting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The amount of the
estimated year end liability is $2,425,000 and will be paid from the Optional Sales Tax Fund.
2) Old Administration Building The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is closed
underground storage tank contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring and reporting
with the FDEP. The amount of the estimated year end liability is $32,000 and will be paid from
the General Fund.
3) Cattle dip site The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is arsenic contamination.
The consultant will conduct monitoring and assessment. The amount of the estimated year end

NOTE 16 - PENSION PLANS
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The County's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida Department
of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class. Employer rates effective as of July 1, 2012 were as follows: regular class
5.18%, senior class 6.30%, special risk 14.90% and elected official class 10.23%.
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before
reaching normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year
your age at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation
in the Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service.
Participants have access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS
employment, regardless of age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in
an investment product with a third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal
years of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement.
In addition to the above benefits, the FRS administers a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP).
This program allows eligible employees to defer receipt of monthly retirement benefit payments while
continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed five years after electing to
participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest.
Florida Statutes Chapter 121, as may be amended from time to time by the state legislature, determines
contribution rates for the various membership classes of the FRS. The FRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements, ten-year historical trend information and other
required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to the Florida Department
of Management Services, Division of Retirement, Attention: Research and Education Section, P.O. Box
9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000, or from the website at www.dms.myflorida.com.

NOTE 17 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved resolution number 2008-163,
establishing an irrevocable trust (OPEB Trust) to separately identify assets accumulated to pay OPEB
benefits for eligible retirees. The OPEB Trust includes the Board of County Commissioners and the
five constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff,
Supervisor of Elections, and Tax Collector). The resolution also established the Board of County
Commissioners as trustees of the OPEB Trust and the authority for the trustees to amend the benefit
provisions.
The OPEB Trust is a single -employer defined benefit plan (OPEB Plan). The OPEB plan subsidizes
(see the chart below) the cost of health care for employees hired prior to February 1, 2006 and their
eligible dependents according to the provisions of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members). Employees hired on or after February 1, 2006, will not be eligible for
any subsidy, regardless of the years of service or Medicare eligibility
Active participants as well as retirees are subject to the same benefits and rules. Retired employees are
permitted to remain covered under the Board's medical and life insurance plans as long as they pay a
premium applicable to the coverage elected. This conforms to the minimum required of Florida
governmental employers per Florida Statute 112.0801. The retiree has the option to continue with the
Board group health plan or elect Medicare Advantage Plan.
The implicit rate subsidy applies to health and life insurance coverage since the premiums charged are
based upon a blending of younger active employees and older retired employees. Health insurance
premiums, effective October 1, 2011 range from $198 for Medicare participants to $735 for family
coverage. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate of $.20 per $1000 of coverage (to a
maximum of $20,000 until the age of 70). After 70, the maximum amount of life insurance is $10,000.
The Board subsidizes the cost of the health premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service
and employment date (as mentioned above); a 2% discount is given for each year of service based upon
the following table:
Retirement Date
Years of Service
Under Age 65

NOTE 17 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN - Continued
A. Plan Description - Continued
The OPEB Trust financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and are
included in the Indian River County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Questions
regarding the OPEB plan may be directed to the Finance Director.
At October 1, 2011, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of:
Active participants 1,428
Retired participants 371
Total participants 1,799
There are two classes of participants at October 1, 2011:
Regular and senior management 1,127
Special risk 672
Total participants 1,799
The average employer's contribution was $1,981 per employee, approximately 4.5% of current payroll.
Financial statements for the OPEB Trust are included in this report and can be found on pages 40-41. A
separate, stand-alone financial report is not issued by the County. The OPEB Trust investments can be
found in Note 4D.
B. Funding Policy
The Board of County Commissioners, in concert with the OPEB Board of Trustees, has the authority to
establish and amend the funding policy of the OPEB Plan. The OPEB Trust is advance funded by the
County. For the year ended September 30, 2012, the County contributed $2.96 million to the qualifying
OPEB Trust. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $1.5 million, or approximately 51 percent of
the total premiums. It is the County's policy to base future OPEB Trust contributions on the annual
required contribution (ARC) in subsequent annual actuarial reports. Custodial and individual fund
administrative fees are paid from the portfolio dividend and interest income.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The employer's contribution (i.e. annual cost or expense) to the County's OPEB Trust is based on the
ARC calculation. The ARC is an amount actuarially determined 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 the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period
not to exceed 20 years. The following table shows the components of the County's annual cost for the
current and two preceding years, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

The Schedule of Funding Progress and Schedule of Employer Contributions, presented as required
supplementary information immediately following the County Notes to the Financial Statements (on
page 99), presents multi-year trend information regarding liabilities, funding, and payroll. The data
also reflects whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative
to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. This information includes the current and past two
actuarial valuations and five years of funding data.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are
subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates
are made about the future.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms
of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) in effect at the
time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to
that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate
the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between
the employer and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective.
Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial
value of assets.

NOTE 19 - FUND BALANCE
GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions, requires the
fund balance for governmental funds to be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based
primarily on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes
for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
A. Categories
There are five categories of fund balance for governmental funds under Statement 54:
Nonspendable — Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form or are legally or
contractually required to remain intact.
Restricted — Use of these resources is based on the constraints imposed externally by creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed — Amounts whose use is constrained by the approval of a County ordinance by the Board of
County Commissioners. This category also includes existing resources on hand to satisfy the
obligations that arise from contractual obligations entered into by the Board of County Commissioners.
Assigned — The Board of County Commissioners is the governing body authorized to assign fund
balance amounts to be used for specific purposes. Amounts appropriated to eliminate a budgetary
deficit in a subsequent year are reported in this category as well.
Unassigned — Residual amounts in the general fund that do not meet any of the other fund balance
classifications.
B. Fund Balance Policy
On September 21, 2010, the County approved a Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that set forth the
following reserves of fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District
Funds:
Emergency/Disaster Relief Reserve — A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures
for the current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of responding to natural and man-made
disasters. Disasters include hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, wildfires, or terrorist activities. These
funds can only be used to respond and provide relief after such a disaster. Funds will be replenished
over a five-year period after the completion of the recovery from the disaster.

NOTE 19 - FUND BALANCE — Continued
B. Fund Balance Policy - Continued
Budget Stabilization Reserve — A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures for
the current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of revenue declines or unfunded mandates
from the state and federal governments. Funds utilized due to revenue declines will be replenished over
a five-year period. Funds utilized for unfunded mandates or unanticipated expenditures cannot be used
for more than a three-year period and must be replenished within five -years after the three-year period.
At September 30, 2012, reserve amounts for those funds were:
Budget
Disaster Relief Stabilization
Total
General Fund $ 5,200,000 $ 5,200,000 $ 10,400,000
Transportation Fund 700,000 700,000 1,400,000
Emergency Services District Fund 1,400,000 1,400,000 2,800,000
Total
$ 7,300,000 $ 7,300,000 $ 14,600,000
The General Fund reserves are included in the unassigned fund balance on the balance sheet.
Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the
Board of County Commissioners.
Minimum Fund Balance - The approved fund balance policy dictates the County's attempt to maintain
a minimum fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20%
of budgeted annual operating expenditures. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the
County Administrator or his designee.
C. Spending Hierarchy
For all governmental funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are
combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as
appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

A. Restricted Net Position
The County has established a restriction within the net position section of the proprietary funds for
capital projects. Restricted net position at September 30, 2012 consist of the following:
Restricted for Capital Projects:
County Utilities Fund $ 17,941,773
B. Net Position Restricted by Enabling Legislation
The government -wide statement of net position for the primary government reports $139,131,001 of
restricted net position, of which $82,688,060 is restricted by enabling legislation.
C. Restatement of Beginning Net Position
In accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pollution Remediation Obligations, beginning net position for governmental activities was restated.
Due to the addition of the Shadowbrook Estates site and based on the consultant's report, the
governmental activities' portion of the estimated liability at October 1, 2011 was $127,100; therefore,
beginning net position was reduced by that amount. For more information on the County's pollution
remediation obligation, please see Note 15.
In accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and
Liabilities, beginning net position for the Golf Course and Utilities Funds was restated. The Statement
required the expensing of any outstanding bond issuance costs, which had previously been reported as
an asset and amortized over the life of the bond issue. At October 1, 2011, this results in the reduction
of the Golf Course Fund's beginning net position by $49,523 and the reduction of the Utilities Fund's
net position by $477,430.

The County purchases excess insurance to cover claims in excess of the amounts listed above. There is
a 5% deductible per location for property damages arising due to a hurricane under the reinsurance
policy. All departments of the County participate in the program. Payments are made by various funds
to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actual estimates of the amounts needed to pay
current year claims. The County has received one reimbursement, for a liability claim in excess of the
general liability limit, in the amount of $134,820 in fiscal year 2012. The prior two fiscal years did not
incur any excess settlements.
The County is also self insured for medical claims covering employees and their eligible dependents.
As required by Section 112.081, Florida Statutes, retirees and their eligible dependents are provided the
same health care coverage as is offered to active employees; however, the retirees are responsible for
payment of the premiums. Medical claims are paid from premiums contributed by employees, retirees
and by the County. Premiums and contributions are determined by projected claims based on historical
and actuarial experience. The self insurance plan assumes all risk for claims, other than worker's
compensation, up to $250,000 per occurrence. The County has purchased a reinsurance policy to cover
claims in excess of these limits. There were no claims in excess of these limits for current and prior
two fiscal years.
The claims liability of $8,074,000 reported at September 30, 2012, is based on the requirements of
generally accepted governmental accounting standards, which require that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that
a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Estimates for claims incurred but not reported are actuarially determined and
recorded. Based on the actuary's report, $2,197,855 will be liquidated over the next twelve months.

punitive damages, and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The County intends to
vigorously defend against these lawsuits and believes it has a good chance of prevailing on their merits.
The County is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary
course of its operations. In the opinion of management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the
ultimate disposition of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
County.
B. Contracts and Other Commitments
The County has various contracts and commitments outstanding at September 30, 2012. In the General
Fund, contracts are for janitorial services, beach park landscape and custodial maintenance and external
auditing services. In the Special Revenue Funds, contracts are for the construction of Fire Station 13 in
the southern part of the County on 4th Street and 43rd Avenue, Oslo Road Widening from 43rd Avenue
to 27th Avenue (Phase II) and from 58th Avenue to 43rd Avenue (Phase III), 66th Avenue Roadway
Improvements from 16th Street to 4th Street, 27th Avenue Milling and Resurfacing, as well as a variety

adjustments would not be significant.

All taxes are due and payable on November 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as the assessment roll is certified and delivered
to the Tax Collector. All unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. Discounts
are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of November, 3% in the month of December, 2% in the month
of January and 1% in the month of February. The taxes paid in March are without discount.
(1) On or prior to June 1 following the tax year, certificates are sold for all delinquent taxes on real property. After the sale, tax
certificates bear interest of 18% per year or at any lower rate bid by the buyer. Application for a tax deed on any unredeemed
tax certificates may be made by the certificate holder after a period of two years. Unsold certificates are held by the County.
Delinquent taxes on personal property bear interest of 18% per year until the tax is satisfied either by seizure and sale of the
property or by the seven year statute of limitations. The County does not accrue its portion of the County -held certificates due to
the immaterial amount.
Source: Indian River County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector provided the above infoiniation; consequently, the
reported collections on this schedule will vary from the actual collections as reported on Schedule 5. The Tax Collector
does not report the interest earnings on the collections, however, the Board includes those interest earnings as part of the total
tax collection.

Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financia(
Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Indian River
County, Florida (the "County") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, and have
issued our report thereon dated March 12, 2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the
County's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the County's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the County's financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County's financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of
our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information of the Board of County Commissioners,
management, the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and federal and state awarding
agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance with Requirements that Could Have a Direct and

Internal Control over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550,
Rules of the Auditor General
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Indian River County, Florida (the "County") with the types
of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and the
requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services' State Projects
Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal
programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2012. The County's major federal
programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of
laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs and state
projects is the responsibility of the County's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the County's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; OMB
Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations; and Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, and Chapter 10.550
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project occurred. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County's compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit
does not provide a legal determination on the County's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Indian River County, Florida complied, in all material respects, with the
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each
of its federal programs and major state projects for the year ended September 30, 2012.
Internal Control over Compliance
Management of Indian River County, Florida is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grants applicable to federal programs and state projects. In planning and performing our audit,
we considered the County's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project in order to determine our

is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
Auditor General, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
and State Projects
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and presentation of the Single Audit Report of Indian River County, Florida,
(the "County") have been designed to conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable
to governmental units, including the reporting and compliance requirements of the Audits of States,
Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
133.
A. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of Indian River County, the primary government, and each of its
component units. The County includes a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State
Projects in the Compliance Section.
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the
measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards and State Projects is maintained on a modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental
funds and a full accrual basis for proprietary funds, which is explained further in the notes to the
financial statements.
C. Program Clusters
OMB Circular A-133 defines a cluster of programs as a grouping of closely related programs that share
common compliance requirements. According to this definition, similar programs deemed to be a cluster
of programs are tested accordingly.
D. Contingencies
Grant revenue amounts received by the County are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor
agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement by the grantor agency. Any adjustments
to grant funding are recorded in the year the adjustment occurs.

Independent Auditors' Report

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Board of County of Commissioners
(the "Board") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the
Board's fund financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Board of County of Commissioners' management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the funds of the Board of County of
Commissioners and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River
County as of September 30, 2012, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the funds of the Board of County of Commissioners as of September
30, 2012, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Board's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of County of
Commissioners, Indian River County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state
agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Board of County Commissioners (the "Board") is a County agency and a local governmental entity
pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1(e) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement
and reporting purposes, the Board does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is
not considered to be a component unit. The Board is considered to be a part of the primary government
of Indian River County. The financial statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of
the Board only.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Reporting Entity
The concept underlying the definition of the reporting entity is that elected officials are accountable to
their constituents for their actions. The reporting entity's financial statements should allow users to
distinguish between the primary government (the Board) and its component units. However, some
component units, because of the closeness of their relationship with the Board, should be blended as
though they are part of the Board. Otherwise, most component units should be discretely presented. As
required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial reporting entity consists of: (1) the
primary government (the Board), (2) organizations for which the Board is financially accountable, and
(3) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Board are
such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or
incomplete. The Board is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's
governing body and (a) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (b) there is a potential for the
organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the Board.
The Board is financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the Board regardless of
whether the organization has (a) a separately elected governing board, (b) a governing board appointed
by a higher level of government, or (c) a jointly appointed board. Based on these criteria, Board
management examined all organizations, which are legally separate, in order to determine which
organizations, if any, should be included in the Board's financial statements. Management determined
that the Solid Waste Disposal District and the Emergency Services District were the only organizations
that should be included in the Board's financial statements as blended component units.
Blended Component Units
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Created pursuant to County Ordinance 87-67, the Board of
County Commissioners serves as the Board for the SWDD and sets the non ad valorem assessment fees
for the SWDD. Although legally separate, the SWDD is appropriately blended as a proprietary fund
type (enterprise) component unit into the primary government.
Emergency Services District (EMS) Created pursuant to County Ordinance 90-25, the Board of County
Commissioners serves as the Board for the EMS and sets the millage rate for EMS. Although legally
separate, the EMS is appropriately blended as a governmental fund type (special revenue) component
unit into the primary government.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B. Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the Board is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds,
each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are
accounted for with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund
balances, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated
to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the
means by which spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the Board's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented.
Governmental accounting standards set forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets plus deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses
of either fund category and the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major
funds. These statements display information about major funds individually and nonmajor funds in the
aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds. The Statement of Fiduciary Net Position presents
assets held by the Board in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.
See Note 17 for more information on the spending hierarchy of fund balances in the fund financial
statements.
Governmental Funds
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectable within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
Board considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 51 days after the end of the current
fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. Franchise fees, sales taxes, gas taxes, operating and capital grants, and interest associated
with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized
as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable only
when cash is received by the Board.
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets, deferred outflows of
resources, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on the balance
sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources".
Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balances. Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Long-term receivables are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.
Advances and notes to other funds are offset as nonspendable fund balance. See Note 17 for more
information on the categories and descriptions of fund balances in the fund financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
B. Fund Financial Statements — Continued
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as an other financing
source rather than as a fund liability. Debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary Funds
The Board's enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements,
proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when
they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the
fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement
focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included on their balance
sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses)
in total net position. The Board applies all GASB Pronouncements as well as all FASB and AICPA
Pronouncements.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party
receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and
investment earnings result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the fund financial statements, rather
than reported as an expense. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the fund financial
statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are
reported as a reduction of the related liabilities, rather than as an expense.
Fiduciary Funds
The fiduciary financial statements include financial information for the agency fund and the other
postemployment benefits trust fund. The agency fund of the Board primarily represents assets held by
the Board in a custodial capacity for other individuals or governments. The other postemployment
benefits trust fund (Trust) accounts for activities of the Trust, which accumulates resources for health
insurance benefit payments for current retirees and for current employees upon their retirement. The
agency and Trust fund statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.

Governmental Major Funds
General Fund — The General Fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for
all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Impact Fees Fund — The Impact Fees Fund accounts for the receipt of various impact fees. Funds are
used for the construction of roads and bridges, correctional, public safety, library, park, public building,
and solid waste facilities. Funds are also used for administrative expenditures of monitoring the
aforementioned activities.
Secondary Roads Construction Fund — The Secondary Roads Construction Fund accounts for the
expenditures of road and bridge construction, roadway, bridge and right of way maintenance and
drainage, and related administrative expenses. Financing is provided by collections of the local option
gas tax.
Transportation Fund — The Transportation Fund accounts for expenditures incurred for the maintenance
and repair of County roads. Financing is provided by the 5th and 6th cent gas tax, County gas tax and
transfers from the General Fund.
Emergency Services District Fund — The Emergency Services District Fund accounts for the
expenditures of providing fire protection and advanced life support to the County. Ad valorem taxes are
the primary source of revenue.
Optional Sales Tax Fund — The Optional Sales Tax Fund accounts for revenue generated by the local
option one -cent sales tax and some capital grants that use the local option one -cent sales tax as matching
funds. Monies are used for various capital projects.
Proprietary Major Funds

Other Fund Types
Internal Service Funds — Internal Service Funds account for Fleet Management, Self Insurance and
Geographic Information Systems services provided to other departments of the County on a cost
reimbursement basis.
Agency Fund The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held in a custodial capacity by the
County for other governmental units, other funds, individuals and businesses. Examples include payroll
deductions, self insurance premiums, and developer escrow funds.
Other Postemployment Benefits Trust Fund — The Other Postemployment Benefits Trust Fund accounts
for activities of the Trust, which accumulates resources for health insurance benefit payments for current
retirees and for current employees upon their retirement. Contributions are recorded when earned and
benefit payments and refunds when incurred within each year.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased. The Board maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use
by all funds. Earnings for the pooled investments are allocated to the respective funds based on
applicable cash participation by each fund. The investment pool is managed such that all participating
funds have the ability to deposit and withdraw cash as if they were demand deposit accounts. Therefore,
all balances representing participants' equity in the investment pools are classified as cash and cash
equivalents for financial statement purposes. In addition, longer-term investments are held by several of
the Board's funds and are, therefore, reported as current restricted cash and cash equivalents on these
statements.
D. Investments
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, money market
funds, Florida PRIME Fund (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund
Investment (SBA) Fund A), Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund, and the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust Fund (FLGIT). Investments are reported at fair value based upon the average price
obtained from three brokers/dealers. The SBA and FLGIT values are based upon the fair market value
per share of the underlying portfolio. Refer to Note 2-C, Investments, for further information on
individual investments.
E. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Board provides an allowance for water and sewer accounts receivables that may become
uncollectable. At September 30, 2012, this allowance was $424,493. No other allowances for doubtful
accounts are maintained since other accounts receivable are considered collectable as reported at
September 30, 2012.

F. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting, with the exception of the Shooting Range and Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventories
which are valued using the average cost method of accounting. Inventories of all funds are recorded as
expenditures (expenses) when consumed rather than when purchased.
G. Prepaid Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Board's policy
is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
H. Other Assets Held For Resale
This account represents assets the Board has purchased with the intent to resell. In fiscal year 2009, the
Board was allocated $4.6 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's
Neighborhood Stabilization Program under a Community Development Block Grant. This funding was
to be used by local governments for acquiring, redeveloping, and reselling foreclosed properties that
might otherwise become sources of abandonment within their communities. At September 30, 2012,
seven homes remain unsold. The Board intends to resell these homes in the next fiscal year. They are
reported at the lower of cost or market value on the balance sheet of the Board's governmental funds.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, right-of-
ways, water and sewer distribution systems, beach restoration, stormwater systems and similar items),
and intangible assets (e.g. software, easements, and rights), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business -type activities column in the government -wide financial statements. The Board defines
capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 or more and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year. Except for roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981, assets are
recorded at historical cost. Roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981 are reported at
estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of
donations. Transfers of capital assets within the Board are recorded at their carrying value at the time of
the transfer. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset nor
materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of
the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The Board holds legal title to the capital assets used in
the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and
Tax Collector, and is accountable for them under Florida Law.
Capital assets used by the Board's governmental funds are reported in the financial statements of the
County. Capital assets of the Board's enterprise and internal service funds are reported in the Proprietary
Funds' financial statements.

I. Capital Assets - Continued
Property, plant, equipment, intangible, and infrastructure assets of the primary government, as well as
the component units, are depreciated, or amortized as in the case of intangible assets, using the straight-
line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Building and improvements 10 — 50
Machinery and equipment 3 10
Utility distribution systems 25 50
Road and bridge infrastructure 20 50
Fiberoptics 20
Software 3-5
Beach preservation infrastructure 7
Stormwater infrastructure 30
J. Capitalization of Interest
Interest costs related to bond issues are capitalized during the construction period. These costs are netted
against applicable interest earnings on construction fund investments. During the current period, the
Board did not have any capitalized interest.
K. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position/fund balance that applies to a
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until
then. The Board only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge
on refunding reported on the Statement of Net Position for the Proprietary funds. A deferred charge on
refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price.
This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunding debt.
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position/fund balance that applies to a
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The Board
only has one type of item, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for
reporting in this category. The item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds
balance sheet. The source of the unavailable revenue is a special assessment on road paving. This
amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period the amounts become available.

Bond discounts and premiums associated with the issuance of Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are
amortized over the life of the bonds according to the straight-line method. For financial reporting,
unamortized bond discounts and premiums are netted against the applicable long-term debt.
M. Landfill Closure Costs
Under the terms of current state and federal regulations, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) is
required to place a final cover on closed landfill areas, and to perform certain monitoring and
maintenance functions for a period of up to thirty years after closure. The SWDD recognizes these costs
of closure and post -closure maintenance over the active life of each landfill area, based on landfill
capacity used during the period. Required obligations for closure and post -closure costs are recognized
in the Solid Waste Disposal District Enterprise Fund.
N. Unearned Revenues
In governmental fund financial statements (in accordance with the modified accrual basis of
accounting), unearned revenues represent revenues, which are available but not earned.
O. Accrued Compensated Absences
The Board does not report compensated absences in the governmental fund statements since they are not
current liabilities payable from available spendable resources. They are reported in the financial
statements of the County. Proprietary fund types accrue compensated absences in the period they are
earned.
P. Obligation for Bond Arbitrage Rebate
Pursuant to Section 148(f) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Board must rebate to the United States
Government the excess of interest earned from the investment of certain debt proceeds and pledged
revenues over the yield rate of the applicable debt. The Board has no arbitrage liability outstanding as
of September 30, 2012.
Q.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective October 1, 2011, the Board implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 63 Financial
Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position and
GASB Statement No. 65 Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities.

R. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The Board uses the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. The constitutional officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to certain divisions within the
Florida Department of Revenue and the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation, a proposed
operating budget for the following fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them, as set forth in Chapter 129 of the Florida Statutes.
2. The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on the operating budgets for the
Tax Collector and the Property Appraiser included in the General Fund.
3. Constitutional officers, all departments controlled by the Board, and outside state and local agencies
submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for assistance, review, and
compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all County departments, state agencies, and
nonprofit organization's budgets and makes his budget recommendation to the Board.
4. On or before July 15 of each year, the County Administrator and the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submit to the Board a tentative
budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them. The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by fund on
a departmental level.
5. During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065 of the Florida Statutes in
order for the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public
hearing, the Board enacts resolutions to legally adopt the budgets at the fund level for all
governmental and proprietary fund types. The budgets legally adopted by the Board set forth the
anticipated revenues by source and the appropriations by function.
6. Formal budgetary integration on an object level is used as a management control device for the
governmental and proprietary funds of the Board. Management is authorized to transfer budgeted
amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as management does not exceed the
total appropriations of a fund. Board approval to amend the budget is only required when
unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have appropriated, thereby
increasing the total appropriations of a fund.
7. Budgets for the governmental and proprietary fund types are adopted on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.
8. Appropriations for the Board lapse at the close of the fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Board maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds except those whose
cash and investments must be segregated due to bond covenants or other legal restrictions.
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Board's deposits was $18,001,674 and the bank
balance was $20,538,877. All the deposits were covered by the FDIC or collateralized in accordance
with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes, also known as the "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act". Cash
on hand at September 30, 2012 was $8,240.
B. Accrued Interest
Interest earnings on U.S. Treasury Notes and government agency bonds are recorded in the cash and
investment pools and then allocated to each fund based on each fund's average monthly balance. As of
September 30, 2012, accrued interest for the Board's portfolio totaled $143,142 and was allocated to the
funds based on their average monthly balance for September.

C. Investments — Continued
At September 30, 2012, the Board had $498,519 invested in Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund
B), a fluctuating net asset value pool. The State Board of Administration (SBA) determined that Fund B
did not meet the requirements of a SEC 2a7 -like fund; therefore, a fair value factor (total net asset value
of Fund B divided by total participant balances) was provided for reporting the value of the Board's
participation in Fund B at fiscal year-end. This resulted in a negative adjustment of 5.1% of the portfolio
balance, or $25,440. Consequently, the net investment in Fund B is reported at $473,079.
The Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund is a pool of various securities with maturities of
less than five years. The fund was established by Florida Statute 163.01, is administered by the Florida
Association of Court Clerks, and is marked to market daily.
Interest Rate Risk
The Board's investment policy limits interest rate risk by attempting to match investment maturities with
known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements. All investments must have stated maturities
of ten (10) years or less and no more than 25% of the portfolio shall be invested in instruments with
stated final maturities greater than five (5) years. The portfolio shall have securities with varying
maturity and at least 10% of the portfolio shall be invested in readily available funds.
Credit Risks
Florida Statutes, Section 218.415 and the Board's investment policy limit investments to the following:
1. Direct obligations of the United States Treasury;
2. Florida PRIME (formerly known as Fund A) and Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund B);
3. Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund;
4. Interest-bearing time deposits or savings in qualified public depositories as defined in Section
280.02, Florida Statutes;
5. Federal agencies and instrumentalities;
6. Securities of, or other interests in, any open-end or closed-end management -type investment
company or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. ss.
80a-1 et seq., as amended from time to time, provided that the portfolio of such investment
company or investment trust is limited to obligations of the United States Government or any
agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such United
States Government obligations, and provided that such investment company or investment trust
takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian;

7. Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit
quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;
8. Repurchase agreements with a term of one year or less collateralized by direct obligations of the
United States Government which have maturities of three (3) years or less and a market value
103% or more of the repurchase amount.
Currently, Fund B participants are permitted to withdraw scheduled amounts as assets become
liquid. Full realization of the principal value of Fund B assets is uncertain and dependent upon the
collateralized securities underlying each holding and is contingent upon future market conditions.
Concentration Risk
The Board's investment policy has established asset allocation and issuer limits to reduce concentration
of credit risk in the Board's investment portfolio. The Board's investment policy does not allow for
more than 20% of the entire portfolio to be invested in any one issuer, with the exception of United
States Treasury Obligations and state authorized pools. No more than 10% of the portfolio may be
placed in certificates of deposit and no more than $3 million of the portfolio may be placed in
certificates of deposit with any one financial institution. No more than 5% of the portfolio may be
placed in any one money market fund, mutual fund, or intergovernmental investment pool.
Custodial Credit Risk
The Board's investment policy pursuant to Section 218.415 (18), Florida Statutes requires securities to
be registered and held with a third party custodian. All securities purchased, as well as all collateral
obtained, by the Board shall be held in the name of the Board. The securities must be held in an account
separate and apart from the assets of the financial institution. As of September 30, 2012, the Board's
investment portfolio in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and money market fund, was held by The Bank
of New York/Mellon. Additional investments include the following: the SunTrust NOW account, the
Regions Bank Money Markets, the Florida Local Government Investment Trust (held by the Bank of
New YorklMellon) and the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund (held by UMB Bank).
D. OPEB Trust Investments
Funds are held in the name of the Indian River County OPEB Trust (IRCOT), an irrevocable trust, by a
third party custodian, Bank of New YorklMellon. The investments are reported at fair value based upon
market -close price on the last business day of each month.
The Board approved a separate investment policy for the IRCOT assets on February 3, 2009 (last
amended on April 6, 2010). The Board adopted a broadly diversified portfolio composition consisting
of equity, debt, and cash and cash equivalents. Asset allocations are divided between short term and
long term investments. Short term asset allocations include cash and cash equivalents with maturities of
180 days or less. Long term asset allocations range from 0-60% for equities, 0-60% for fixed income
securities, and 0-100% for cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY TAX REVENUES
Taxable values for all property are established as of January 1, which is the date of lien, for the fiscal
year starting October 1. Property tax revenues recognized for the 2011-2012 fiscal year were levied in
October 2011. All taxes are due and payable on November 1 or as soon as the assessments roll is
certified and delivered to the Tax Collector. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in
November, 3% in December, 2% in January, and 1% in February. Taxes paid in March are without
discount. All unpaid taxes become delinquent as of April 1. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via
the sale of tax certificates on or prior to June 1; therefore, there were no material taxes receivable at
fiscal year end.

Recreational (Golf Course) Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2003
Purpose - On October 15, 2003, the Series 2003 bonds were issued to redeem $6,735,000 of the Board's
outstanding Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1993. The Series 2003 bonds are being issued by the
Board to provide funds, together with $583,790, to retire all of the outstanding 1993 Series bonds and to
pay for all bond issuance costs. The previous bonds were issued to build a County -owned golf course.
The aggregate difference in debt service between the Series 1993 debt ($9,284,290) and Series 2003
debt ($8,060,911) is $1,223,379. The net economic gain was $348,450 and is amortized over the life of
the bonds. The unamortized balance of the deferred amount on the refunding at September 30, 2012 is
$107,215 and is reflected as a deferred outflow of resources on the Statement of Net Position.
Pledge of Revenue - The revenue bonds are secured by liens, for the remaining term of the bonds, in the
following order: (1) the net revenues derived from the operations of the golf course, (2) one hundred
percent of racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton funds, and (3) seven percent of the half -cent sales tax accruing
annually to the County.
The financial strength of our municipal bond insurer, AMBAC, was downgraded to Baal in November
2008. This downgrade required the Board to fully cash fund the debt service reserve. The Board elected
to pledge the Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton funds to meet this bond covenant. The total annual amount
of the required debt service reserve of $417,500 was cash funded.
The current principal and interest payments of $637,964 represent sixty-one percent of net revenues of
$1,039,595 of the golf course. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the bonds is
$2,321,287. All three pledged revenue sources totaled $2,004,997 for the current fiscal year. The Board
did not utilize the second and third revenue sources toward the current year principal and interest
payments.
Rate Covenant — Net revenues shall be sufficient to pay 100% of reserve and current year principal and
interest requirements.
Bonds Issued - At September 30, 2012, the revenue bonds consisted of the following:

NOTE 12 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS
Current regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) require the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to place a final
cover on closed landfill areas, and to maintain those areas for up to thirty years after closure. The SWDD
annually obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure and post -closure costs from its
consulting engineers. The SWDD recognizes the expenses associated with the final closure and post -
closure maintenance of the landfill areas over the active life of those areas. The provision for closure
costs reported in the financial statements as operating expense represents the portion of these estimated
future outlays which are allocable to the current year based on the amount of capacity used. The total
unrecognized closure and post -closure costs are approximately $3.6 million. These costs will be
recognized in future periods as the remaining capacity is filled. The Board's policy is to fund 100% of
the current year's allocation (based upon the consulting engineers' report) of both closure and post -
closure care.
Required closure and post -closure sub -accounts:

Construction and Demolition - Cell I N/A N/A 179,488
Total account balance at 9/30/12: $ 10,513,736
All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and post -closure
functions in current dollars. Actual costs may be different due to inflation, deflation, changes in
technology, or changes in laws and regulations. The SWDD is required by FDEP to annually show proof
of ability to finance closure and post -closure costs. The SWDD is making annual deposits to a closure
and post -closure cost escrow account to provide for the financing of future closure -related expenses. At
September 30, 2012, $10,442,551 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government Investment Trust and
$71,185 was on deposit in the Board's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:
Balance Balance
10/01/11 Deposits Withdrawals 09/30/12
Closure and long-term care costs $ 10,016,236 $ 497,500 $ $10,513,736
Of the $10,513,736 liability for closure and long-term care costs, management estimates that no funds
will be due and payable within one year.

the Board (using the consultant's services) to attempt to accrue a liability for pollution remediation. The
liability totaled $2,621,800 at September 30, 2012 for all five sites. The pollution remediation
obligation is an estimate and subject to changes resulting from price increases and reductions,
technology, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. There are no estimated recoveries that would
reduce the liability.
Governmental Funds:

retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement.
In addition to the above benefits, the FRS administers a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP).
This program allows eligible employees to defer receipt of monthly retirement benefit payments while
continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed five years after electing to
participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, were
equal to 13.4%, 12.8%, and 7.7% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012, were $5,602,795, $4,975,937 and
$2,894,804 respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and
2012 were $259,425 and $956,266. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of
the required contribution for each year.
Florida Statutes Chapter 121, as may be amended from time to time by the state legislature, determines
contribution rates for the various membership classes of the FRS. The FRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements, ten-year historical trend information and other
required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to the Florida Department
of Management Services, Division of Retirement, Attention: Research and Education Section, P.O. Box
9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000, or from the website at www.dms.myflorida.com. The funding
policy is described in detail in the Florida Retirement System note in the County -wide financial
statements.

NOTE 15 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved resolution number 2008-163,
establishing an irrevocable trust (OPEB Trust) to separately identify assets accumulated to pay OPEB
benefits for eligible retirees. The OPEB Trust includes the Board of County Commissioners and the five
constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections,
and Tax Collector). The resolution also established the Board of County Commissioners as trustees of
the OPEB Trust and the authority for the trustees to amend the benefit provisions.
The OPEB Trust is a single -employer defined benefit plan (OPEB Plan). The OPEB plan subsidizes
(see the chart below) the cost of health care for employees hired prior to February 1, 2006 and their
eligible dependents according to the provisions of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members). Employees hired on or after February 1, 2006, will not be eligible for any
subsidy, regardless of the years of service or Medicare eligibility.
Active participants as well as retirees are subject to the same benefits and rules. Retired employees are
permitted to remain covered under the Board's medical and life insurance plans as long as they pay a
premium applicable to the coverage elected. This conforms to the minimum required of Florida
governmental employers per Florida Statute 112.0801. The retiree has the option to continue with the
Board group health plan or elect Medicare Advantage Plan.
The implicit rate subsidy applies to health and life insurance coverage since the premiums charged are
based upon a blending of younger active employees and older retired employees. Health insurance
premiums, effective October 1, 2011 range from $198 for Medicare participants to $735 for family
coverage. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate of $.20 per $1000 of coverage (to a
maximum of $20,000 until the age of 70). After 70, the maximum amount of life insurance is $10,000.
The Board subsidizes the cost of the health premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service
and employment date (as mentioned above); a 2% discount is given for each year of service based upon
the following table:
Retirement Date
Years of Service
Under Age 65

A. Plan Description — Continued
The OPEB Trust financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and are included
in the Indian River County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Questions regarding the
OPEB plan may be directed to the Finance Director.
At October 1, 2011, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of:
Active participants 1,428
Retired participants 371
Total participants 1,799
There are two classes of participants at October 1, 2011:
Regular and senior management 1,127
Special risk 672
Total participants 1,799
The average employer's contribution was $1,981 per employee, approximately 4.5% of current payroll.
Financial statements for the OPEB Trust are included in this report and can be found on pages 40-41. A
separate, stand-alone financial report is not issued by the Board; however, the OPEB Trust investments
can be found in Note 2D and the Schedule of Funding Progress can be found on page 99.
B. Funding Policy
The Board of County Commissioners, in concert with the OPEB Board of Trustees, has the authority to
establish and amend the funding policy of the OPEB Plan. The OPEB Trust is advance funded by the
Board. For the year ended September 30, 2012, the County contributed $2.96 million to the qualifying
OPEB Trust. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $1.5 million, or approximately 51 percent of
the total premiums. It is the Board's policy to base future contributions on the annual required
contribution (ARC) in subsequent annual actuarial reports. Custodial and individual fund administrative
fees are paid from the portfolio dividend and interest income.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The employer's contribution (i.e. annual cost or expense) to the County's OPEB Trust is based on the
ARC calculation. The ARC is an amount actuarially determined 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 the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period
not to exceed 20 years. The following table shows the components of the County's annual cost for the
current and two preceding years, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

The Schedule of Funding Progress and Schedule of Employer Contributions, presented as required
supplementary information immediately following the County Notes to the Financial Statements (on
page 99), presents multi-year trend regarding liabilities, funding, and payroll. The data also reflects
whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the
actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. This information includes the current and past two actuarial
valuations and five years of funding data.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made
about the future.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of
the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) in effect at the time
of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that
point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the
potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the
employer and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective.
Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial
value of assets.

NOTE 17 - FUND BALANCE
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions requires the
fund balance for governmental funds to be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based
primarily on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes
for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
A. Categories
There are five categories of fund balance for governmental funds under Statement 54:
Nonspendable — Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form or are legally or
contractually required to remain intact.
Restricted — Use of these resources is based on the constraints imposed externally by creditors, grantors,
contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or imposed by law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed — Amounts whose use is constrained by the approval of a County ordinance by the Board of
County Commissioners. This category also includes existing resources on hand to satisfy the
obligations that arise from contractual obligations entered into by the Board of County Commissioners.
Assigned — The Board of County Commissioners is the governing body authorized to assign fund
balance amounts to be used for specific purposes. Amounts appropriated to eliminate a budgetary
deficit in a subsequent year are reported in this category as well.
Unassigned — Residual amounts in the general fund that do not meet any of the other fund balance
classifications.
B. Fund Balance Policy
On September 21, 2010, the Board approved a Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that set forth the
following reserves of fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District
Funds:
Emergency/Disaster Relief Reserve — A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures
for the current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of responding to natural and man-made
disasters. Disasters include hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, wildfires, or terrorist activities. These
funds can only be used to respond and provide relief after such a disaster. Funds will be replenished
over a five-year period after the completion of the recovery from the disaster.

B. Fund Balance Policy - Continued
Budget Stabilization Reserve A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures for the
current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of revenue declines or unfunded mandates from
the state and federal governments. Funds utilized due to revenue declines will be replenished over a
five-year period. Funds utilized for unfunded mandates or unanticipated expenditures cannot be used
for more than a three-year period and must be replenished within five -years after the three-year period.
At September 30, 2012, reserve amounts for those funds were:
Budget
Disaster Relief Stabilization
Total
General Fund $ 5,200,000 $ 5,200,000 $ 10,400,000
Transportation Fund 700,000 700,000 1,400,000
Emergency Services District Fund 1,400,000 1,400,000 2,800,000
Total
$ 7,300,000 $ 7,300,000 $ 14,600,000
The General Fund reserves are included in the unassigned fund balance on the balance sheet. The
Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the Board
of County Commissioners.
Minimum Fund Balance - The approved fund balance policy dictates the Board's attempt to maintain a
minimum fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20% of
budgeted annual operating expenditures. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the County
Administrator or his designee.
C. Spending Hierarchy
For all governmental funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are
combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as
appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

Liabilities, beginning net position for the Golf Course and Utilities Funds were restated. Due to the
write off of the unamortized bond issuance costs outstanding at September 30, 2011, the Golf Course
Fund's beginning net position was reduced by $49,523 and the Utilities Fund's beginning net position
was reduced by $477,430.

NOTE 20 - RISK MANAGEMENT
General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical
The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of
assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The Board established a Self
Insurance Fund (an internal service fund) to account for and finance its uninsured risk of loss. Under
this program, the Self Insurance Fund provides coverage as follows:
04/01/08 to 10/01/08 to 05/01/11 to
09/30/08 04/30/11 09/30/12
Worker's Compensation $ 300,000 $ 350,000 $ 350,000
General Liability 250,000 250,000 200,000
Auto Liability 250,000 250,000 200,000

Liquor Liability 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000
The Board purchases excess insurance to cover claims in excess of the liability coverage listed above.
There is a 5% deductible per location for property damages arising due to a hurricane under the
reinsurance policy. All departments of the Board participate in the program. Payments are made by
various funds to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actual estimates of the amounts
needed to pay current year claims. The Board has received one reimbursement, for a liability claim in
excess of the general liability limit, in the amount of $134,820 in fiscal year 2012. The prior two fiscal
years did not incur any excess settlements.
The Board is also self-insured for medical claims covering employees and their eligible dependents. As
required by Section 112.081, Florida Statutes, retirees and their eligible dependents are provided the
same health care coverage as is offered to active employees; however, the retirees are responsible for
payment of the premiums. Medical claims are paid from premiums contributed by employees, retirees,
and by the Board. Premiums and contributions are determined by projected claims based on historical
and actuarial experience. The self-insurance medical plan assumes all risk for claims, other than
worker's compensation, up to $250,000 per occurrence. The Board has purchased a reinsurance policy
to cover claims in excess of these limits. There were no medical claims in excess of the $250,000 limit
for the current and prior two fiscal years.

General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical — Continued
The claims liability of $8,074,000 reported at September 30, 2012, is based on the requirements of
generally accepted governmental accounting standards, which require that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements, and the amount of the loss, can
be reasonably estimated. Estimates for claims incurred but not reported are actuarially determined and
recorded. Based on the actuary's report, $2,197,855 will be liquidated over the next twelve months.

determined; and at September 30, 2012, unrestricted net position of $24,330,918 has been designated for
this purpose. The Board has elected to accrue the larger of the discounted liability or undiscounted
liability. At September 30, 2012, the undiscounted liability was the greater of the two amounts. The
discount rate used in the calculation was 2.5 percent.
NOTE 21 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A.
Litigation
Various suits and claims are currently pending against the Board. It is impossible for the Board to
accurately quantify the exposure involved given the jury's latitude m assessing compensatory and
punitive damages, and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The Board intends to vigorously
defend against these lawsuits and believes it has a good chance of prevailing on their merits.
The Board is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary
course of its operations. In the opinion of management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the
ultimate disposition of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Board.

Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies. If any expenditures are disallowed as a result of these audits, the claims for reimbursement to
the grantor agency would become a liability of the Board. In the opinion of management, any such
adjustments would not be significant.

Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial
Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of each major fund and the
aggregate remaining fund information of Indian River County, Florida Board of County of
Commissioners (the "Board") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which
collectively comprise the Board's fund financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the
Board's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Board's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit
and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of County
Commissioners, management, and the Auditor General of the State of Florida and is not

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major funds and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court (the
"Clerk") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the Clerk's fund
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Clerk's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the funds of the Clerk and do not
purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River County as of September 30,
2012 the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the major funds and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
Clerk as of September 30, 2012, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Clerk's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Clerk, Indian River
County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller (Clerk) is a County agency and a local governmental
entity pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial
statement and reporting purposes, the Clerk does not meet the definition of a legally separate
organization and is not considered to be a component unit. The Clerk is considered to be a part of the
primary government of Indian River County.
As part of the 2009 Legislative changes, the Clerk's court -related functions are now funded through
general revenue appropriations and by trust funds supported by filing fees, service charges, fines, and
court costs assessed to parties using the court system. Under 2009-204, Laws of Florida, revenue
collected by the Clerk is remitted to the Florida Department of Revenue and deposited in the Clerk of
Court Trust Fund within the Justice Administrative Commission. The fiscal year for court operations is
July 1 to June 30 and the fiscal year for non -court operations is October 1 to September 30.
The financial statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court and Comptroller only. The format of the Clerk's statements has been prepared in accordance with
the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized into the following two fund types:
governmental funds and a fiduciary fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Clerk which are not accounted for in another
fund. All financial resources, which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in
the General Fund. The governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial
position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than
upon net income determination.
Special Revenue Fund — The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds from recording fees to be
used for modernizing the Clerk's public records systems, subsidizing court -related operational needs and
program enhancements, and adding access to public records (by charging a computer usage fee).
Fiduciary Fund
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Clerk in a trustee capacity or
as an agent. These funds cannot be used to support the Clerk's own programs.

Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the
modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are
recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available. The Clerk
only considers revenue to be available if collected within the current fiscal year, except for Title IV -D
grant revenue. This grant revenue is subject to accrual and has been recognized as revenue of the current
fiscal period. Revenues collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned and are reflected
as liabilities. The fiduciary fund is accounted for on the accrual basis.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Clerk to prepare his budget in two parts: the budget relating to the State court
system and the budget relating to the requirements of the Clerk as Clerk to the Board of County
Commissioners, County auditor, and custodian of all County funds and other County -related duties. The
budget relating to the State court system is prepared by the Clerk and submitted to the Florida Clerks of
Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) prior to October 1 of each year. The budget relating to the
requirements of the Clerk as Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners is prepared prior to May 1
and is reviewed, modified if required, and approved by the Board by October 1. Both budgets are
adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget legally adopted by the Clerk must be balanced; that is, the total of estimated receipts,
including funding from the Board, shall equal the total estimated expenditures. Management is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as
management does not exceed the total appropriations of a fund.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased.
E. Prepaid Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Clerk's policy
is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
F. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Clerk in operations is reported in the
financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for capitalization
threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
G. Compensated Absences
The Clerk accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences when
certain conditions are met. The Clerk does not, nor is he legally required to, accumulate expendable
available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the liability for compensated
absences is not reported in the Clerk financial statements. Additional information on the liability is
reflected in subsequent Note 6.
H. Transfer In
The Clerk budgeted one transfer in the amount of $128,267 from the public records modernization fund
to subsidize court technology expenses. At year end, this amount was not needed due to recording fees
exceeding budget.
The non -court operations (finance function and board meeting recordings) were funded by the Board of
County Commissioners in the amount of $932,252.
I. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all non -court -related revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-
end are owed to the Board of County Commissioners before November 1. On October 29, 2012, $5,375
in unspent budget funds was returned to the Board. This transfer is also reported as due to other
governments on the balance sheet.
With the change in fiscal year for court -related operations from September 30 to June 30, excess
revenues over expenditures at June 30, in the amount of $33,690, were submitted to the CCOC through
the Department of Revenue for deposit to the Clerk of Court Trust Fund.
J. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. The Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.
Per 2009 Florida Senate Bills 1718 and 2108, excess fees for the court related function are determined
on June 30 of each year to coincide with the State fiscal year. Court -related revenues in excess of
expenditures from July 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 were $142,223; this amount is presented as
fund balance of the General Fund at September 30, 2012.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Clerk's deposits was $2,842,948 and the bank balance
was $3,373,102. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal depository
insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in accordance
with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. Cash
on hand at September 30, 2012 was $1,900.
The Clerk's office follows the above state law (governing custodial credit risk) for cash deposits. Refer
to the County -wide Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents, for definition of custodial credit risk.
B. Investments
At September 30, 2012, the Clerk had $20,055 invested in the Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund
B), a fluctuating net asset value pool. The fund was established by Florida Statute 218.405 and is
administered by the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA). The SBA determined that Fund B did
not meet the requirements of a SEC 2a7 -like fund; therefore, a fair value factor (total net asset value of
Fund B divided by total participant balances) was provided for reporting the value of the Clerk's
participation in Fund B at fiscal year-end. This resulted in a negative adjustment of 5.1% of the portfolio
balance, or $1,023. Consequently, the net investment in Fund B is reported at $19,032.
The Clerk also participated in the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund, part of the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust Fund. The Day to Day fund is a money market product of various securities with an
average maturity of 55 days. It was established by Florida Statute 163.01, is administered by the Florida
Association of Court Clerks, and is marked to market daily. At year end, the Clerk maintained a balance
of $4,205,383 in this trust fund.
The Clerk's office elected not to adopt a formal investment policy and selected the alternative
investment guidelines as provided by Florida Statutes 218.415, subsection 17, which specifically
permitted these State authorized pools. This statute, the County -wide investment policy, and credit risks
are explained in Note 4 of the County -wide financial statements.
NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Clerk's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida Department
of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class. Classes and rates in effect at July 1, 2012 were: regular class 5.18%,
senior class 6.30%, DROP class 5.44%, and elected official class 10.23%.

NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN - Continued
Florida Retirement System - Continued
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide Note 16,
Pension Plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, were
equal to 10.62%, 9.92% and 5.21% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were $375,894, $371,781 and $186,001
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 were
$23,576 and $91,895 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of
the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Clerk participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust (IRCOT). The
Clerk's 2012 annual required contribution of $165,045 was funded by the Board of County
Commissioners in the amount of $26,362; non -court revenue in the amount of $25,176; court -related
State expenditures in the amount of $111,624; and the public modernization trust fund in the amount of
$1,883. This contribution was considered part of a total contribution determined by the IRCOT actuary.
Further information on the IRCOT can be found in the County -wide financial statements and in the
County notes.

NOTE 5— RISK MANAGEMENT
Indian River County maintains a risk management program that provides for coverage of risks of loss
related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees,
natural disasters, and medical and life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
Various excess catastrophe insurance policies with a commercial carrier are also in force for claims
exceeding the amount chargeable against the Self-insurance Fund. The Clerk participated in the
County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2012 at an annual cost of approximately $716,634.
Further details of this self-insurance program are discussed in the County -wide financial statements and
County notes.
NOTE 6 — LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Changes in Long -Term Liabilities
The following is a schedule of changes in long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2012:
Beginning Ending
Balance Balance
10/01/11 Additions Deletions 9/30/12
Accrued Compensated Absences $ 281,148 $ 350,541 $ 346,201 $ 285,488
Of the $285,488 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $75,000 will be
due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial statements of
the Clerk since they are not payable from available spendable resources. They are reported in the
financial statements of the County by the fund which normally pays the personnel service costs of the
employee.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Jeffrey R. Smith
Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court
(the "Clerk"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise
the Clerk's fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 12,
2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Clerk is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the
Clerk's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Clerk's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Clerk's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit
and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Clerk, Indian
River County, others within the entity, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal
and state agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major fund of the Indian River
County, Florida Property Appraiser (the "Property Appraiser") as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2012, which comprise the Property Appraiser's fund financial statements as listed in the
table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Property Appraiser's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the fund of the Property Appraiser
and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River County as of
September 30, 2012 the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the funds of the Property Appraiser as of September 30, 2012, and
the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Property Appraiser's internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Property Appraiser,
Indian River County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Property Appraiser
Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Property Appraiser is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article VIII,
Section 1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes,
the Property Appraiser does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not
considered to be a component unit. The Property Appraiser is considered to be a part of the primary
government of Indian River County. The financial statements contained herein represent the financial
transactions of the Property Appraiser only. The format of the Property Appraiser's statements has been
prepared in accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized on the basis of governmental funds.
Governmental Fund
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Property Appraiser. All financial resources,
which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The
governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial position and changes in
financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income
determination.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the
modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are
recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available. Revenues
collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Property Appraiser to prepare an annual budget, which clearly reflects the
revenues available to his office and the functions for which money is to be expended. The budgeted
revenues and expenditures are subject to the review and approval of the Department of Revenue.
Management is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments as long as
management does not exceed the total appropriations of a fund. Department of Revenue approval is only
required when unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have appropriated,
thereby increasing the total appropriations. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
D. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Property Appraiser in operations is reported
in the financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for
capitalization threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.
E. Compensated Absences
The Property Appraiser accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future
absences when certain conditions are met. The Property Appraiser does not, nor is he legally required to,
accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the
liability for compensated absences is not reported on the Property Appraiser's financial statements.
Additional information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 6.
F. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to
the Board of County Commissioners and other governments. These "excess fees" totaled $121,391 and
are reported as transfers out. These transfers are also reflected as due to other governments on the
balance sheet.
G. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the Property Appraiser's deposits was $171,862 and the
bank balance was $214,123. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. The Property Appraiser adopted the Board of County Commissioners' investment policy. This
policy requires the Property Appraiser's office to follow the above state law (governing custodial credit
risk) for cash deposits. Refer to the County -wide Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents, for definition of
custodial credit risk. Cash on hand at September 30, 2012 was $70.

NOTE 3— PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Property Appraiser's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System
(FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the
Florida Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory
plan for all members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a
rate based upon each member's employment class (regular class 5.18%, senior class 6.30%, and elected
official class 10.23%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide Note 15,
Pension Plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012, were
equal to 10.73%, 10.02%, and 5.41% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 were $224,920, $195,025, and $102,232
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 were
$13,320 and $52,696 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of
the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Property Appraiser participated in the Indian River County Other Post Employment Benefits Trust
(IRCOT). The Property Appraiser's 2012 annual required contribution of $65,905 was funded by the
Board of County Commissioners as part of a total contribution determined by the IRCOT actuary.
Further information on the IRCOT can be found in the County -wide financial statements and in the
County notes.

NOTE 5 — RISK MANAGEMENT
Indian River County maintains a risk management program that provides for coverage of risks of loss
related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees,
natural disasters, and medical and life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
Various excess catastrophe insurance policies with a commercial carrier are also in force for claims
exceeding the amount chargeable against the Self-insurance Fund. The Property Appraiser participated
in the County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2012 at an annual cost of approximately
$271,260. Further details on the self-insurance program are discussed in the County -wide financial
statements and County notes.
NOTE 6 — LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Changes in Long -Term Liabilities
A summary of changes in long-term liabilities is as follows:
Accrued Compensated Absences
Beginning Ending
Balance Balance
10/01/11 Additions Deletions 09/30/12
$ 75,789 $ 106,709 $ 161,476 $ 21,022
Of the $21,022 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $10,000 will be
due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial statements of
the Property Appraiser since they are not payable from available spendable resources. They are reported
in the financial statements of the County.
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Various suits and claims are currently pending against the Property Appraiser. It is impossible for the
Property Appraiser to accurately quantify the exposure involved given the jury's latitude in assessing
compensatory and punitive damages, and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The Property
Appraiser intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and believes he has a good chance of
prevailing on their merits. In the opinion of management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the
ultimate disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of
the Property Appraiser.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable David C. Nolte
Property Appraiser
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the fund financial statements of the major fund of the Indian River County,
Florida Property Appraiser ("the Property Appraiser"), as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2012, which comprises the Property Appraiser's fund financial statements and
have issued our report thereon dated March 12, 2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Property Appraiser is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we
considered the Property Appraiser's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Property Appraiser's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property Appraiser's internal control over financial
reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the funds of the Sheriff and do not
purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River County as of September 30,
2012 the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the major funds and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
Sheriff as of September 30, 2012, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Sheriff's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Sheriff, Indian River
County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Sheriff is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1(d) of
the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes, the Sheriff does
not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not considered to be a component unit.
The Sheriff is considered to be a part of the primary government of Indian River County. The financial
statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Sheriff only. The format of the
Sheriff's statements has been prepared in accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for
fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized into the following two fund types:
governmental funds and a fiduciary fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Sheriff, which are not accounted for in another
fund. All financial resources, which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in
the General Fund. The governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial
position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than
upon net income determination.
Special Revenue Fund — The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted or committed for public safety such as police education, special
purpose equipment, jail commissary, and special law enforcement activities.
Fiduciary Fund
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Sheriff in a trustee capacity
or as an agent. These funds cannot be used to support the Sheriff's own programs.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. The fiduciary
fund is reported on an accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the
time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are recorded when received in cash or when they are considered
both measurable and available. Revenues collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned
and are reflected as liabilities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Sheriff to submit a proposed budget to the Board of County Commissioners by
May 1 of each year. The budget reflects the estimated amounts of all proposed expenditures for
operating and equipping the Sheriff's office and jail. Capital improvements for these buildings are
funded by the Board. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles. After review and approval of the budget by the Board, the Sheriff is authorized to transfer
budgeted amounts between objects and departments as long as he does not exceed the total
appropriations approved by the Board. Increases in the total budget are subject to the review and
approval of the Board. The budgeted revenues and expenditures in the accompanying financial
statements reflect all amendments approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
D. Compensated Absences
The Sheriff accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences when
certain conditions are met. The Sheriff does not, nor is he legally required to, accumulate expendable
available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the liability for compensated
absences is not reported on the Sheriff's financial statements. Additional information on the liability is
reflected in subsequent Note 7.
E. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to
the Board of County Commissioners. This unspent budget totaled $4,071 and was reported as a transfer
to the Board of County Commissioners at year end. These transfers are also included as due to other
governments on the balance sheet.
F. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the Sheriff's deposits was $3,640,433, and the bank
balance was $5,700,087. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act.
The Sheriffs office elected not to adopt a formal investment policy and selects the alternative
investment guidelines as provided by Florida Statutes 218.415, subsection 17. Refer to the County -wide
Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents, for the definition of custodial credit risk.
NOTE 3 — CAPITAL ASSETS
Tangible personal property used by the Sheriff in operations is reported in the financial statements of the
County. State law requires the Sheriff to account for all tangible property used by the Sheriff. A
summary of changes in capital assets is as follows:

NOTE 4 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Sheriff's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida Department
of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class (regular class 5.18%, special risk 14.90%, senior class 6.30%, and elected
official class 10.23%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide Note 16,
Pension Plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012 were
equal to 18.29%, 17.87%, and 11.30% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 were $4,294,161, $4,048,292, and $2,544,542
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 were
$146,774 and $629,659 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of
the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 5 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Sheriff participated in the Indian River County Other Post Employment Benefits Trust (IRCOT).
The Sheriff's 2012 annual required contribution of $1,101,834 was funded by the Board of County
Commissioners as part of a total contribution determined by the IRCOT actuary. Further information on
the IRCOT can be found in the County -wide financial statements and County notes.

NOTE 6 — RISK MANAGEMENT
Indian River County maintains a risk management program that provides for coverage of risks of loss
related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees,
natural disasters, and medical and life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
Various excess catastrophe insurance policies with a commercial carrier are also in force for claims
exceeding the amount chargeable against the Self-insurance Fund. The Sheriff participated in the
County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2012 at an annual cost of approximately $3,458,737.
Further details on this self-insurance program are disclosed in the County -wide financial statements and
County notes.
NOTE 7 — LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Changes in Long -Term Liabilities
The following is a schedule of changes in long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2012:
Beginning Ending
Balance Balance
10/01/11 Additions Deletions 09/30/12
Accrued Compensated Absences $ 6,054,416 $ 3,594,958 $ 3,311,513 $ 6,337,861
Of the $6,337,861 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $3,100,000
will be due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial
statements of the Sheriff since they are not payable from available spendable resources. They are
reported in the County -wide financial statements and County notes.
NOTE 8 — OPERATING LEASES
The Sheriff has entered into noncancelable operating leases as lessee of a building, hangar, mail
machine, and copiers. Lease expenditures totaled $105,639 for the year ended September 30, 2012.
The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rentals to be paid by the Sheriff for
noncancelable operating leases as of September 30:
Year Amount
2013 $ 82,987
2014 32,332
2015 11,482

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Various suits and claims are currently pending against the Sheriff. It is impossible for the Sheriff to
accurately quantify the exposure involved given the jury's latitude in assessing compensatory and
punitive damages, and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The Sheriff intends to vigorously
defend against these lawsuits and believes he has a good chance of prevailing on their merits. In the
opinion of management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these
lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Sheriff.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Deryl Loar
Sheriff
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Sheriff (the "Sheriff"), as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the Sheriff's fund
financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 12, 2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Sheriff is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the
Sheriff's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sheriff's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Sheriff's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Sheriff's financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of
our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Sheriff, Indian
River County, others within the entity, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal
and state agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Supervisor of Elections (the
"Supervisor of Elections") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively
comprise the Supervisor of Election's fund financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Supervisor of Elections' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the funds of the Supervisor of
Elections and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River County
as of September 30, 2012 the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the funds of the Supervisor of Elections as of September 30, 2012,
and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Supervisor of Elections' internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Supervisor of Elections,
Indian River County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Supervisor of Elections is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article VIII,
Section 1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes,
the Supervisor of Elections does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not
considered to be a component unit. The Supervisor of Elections is considered to be a part of the primary
government of Indian River County. The financial statements contained herein represent the financial
transactions of the Supervisor of Elections only. The format of the Supervisor of Elections' statements
has been prepared in accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial
statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds.
Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Supervisor of Elections. All financial resources,
which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The
governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial position and changes in
financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income
determination.
Special Revenue Fund — The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the grant proceeds from the State and
matching funds from the County. These funds are legally restricted for voter education and poll worker
recruitment and training.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the
modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are
recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available. Revenues
collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Supervisor of Elections to submit a proposed budget to the Board of County
Commissioners by May 1 of each year. After review and approval of the budget by the Board, the
Supervisor or Elections is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments as
long as she does not exceed the total appropriations approved by the Board. Increases in the total budget
are subject to the review and approval of the Board. The budgeted revenues and expenditures in the
accompanying financial statements reflect all amendments approved by the Board of County
Commissioners. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Year Ended September 30, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
D. Prepaid Items
Deposits in the governmental funds represent prepayments for services that will be used in future
periods. The Supervisor of Election's policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are
used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
E. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Supervisor of Elections in operations is
reported in the financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for
the capitalization threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.
F. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues reported on the Supervisor of Election's balance sheet represent revenues which are
available but not earned.
G. Compensated Absences
The Supervisor of Elections accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future
absences when certain conditions are met. The Supervisor of Elections does not, nor is she legally
required to, accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation.
Accordingly, the liability for compensated absences is not reported on the Supervisor of Elections'
financial statements. Additional information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 6.
H. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to
the Board of County Commissioners and other governments. This unspent budget totaled $24,294 and
was reported as transfers out. These transfers are also reflected as due to other governments on the
balance sheet.
I. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the Supervisor of Elections' deposits was $45,167, and
the bank balance was $114,041. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. Cash on hand at September 30, 2012 was $125.
The Supervisor of Elections has adopted the Board of County Commissioners' investment policy. This
policy requires the Supervisor of Elections' office to follow the above state law (governing custodial
credit risk) for cash deposits. Refer to the County -wide Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents, for
definition of custodial credit risk.
NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Supervisor of Elections' employees participate in the Florida Retirement System
(FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the
Florida Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory
plan for all members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a
rate based upon each member's employment class (regular class 5.18%, senior class 6.30%, and elected
official class 10.23%). Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or
the defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1,
2011, normal retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the
employee enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of
service or 33 years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available
before reaching normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for
each year your age at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect
participation in the Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of
service. Participants have access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS
employment, regardless of age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an
investment product with a third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide Note 16,
Pension Plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012, were
equal to 11.4%, 11.5%, and 6.19% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 were $59,170, $48,433 and $28,013
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 were
$1,957 and $13,585 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of the
required contribution for each year.

Indian River County maintains a risk management program that provides for coverage of risks of loss
related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees,
natural disasters, and medical and life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
Various excess catastrophe insurance policies with a commercial carrier are also in force for claims
exceeding the amount chargeable against the Self-insurance Fund. The Supervisor of Elections
participated in the County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2012 at an annual cost of
approximately $42,320.

Of the $26,589 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $8,315 will be
due and payable within one year. The liability for accrued compensated absences is not reported in the

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Leslie Rossway Swan
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Supervisor of Elections (the
"Supervisor of Elections"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which
collectively comprise the Supervisor of Election's fund financial statements and have issued
our report thereon dated March 12, 2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Supervisor of Elections is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we
considered the Supervisor of Elections' internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Supervisor of Elections' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Supervisor of Elections' internal control over
financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Supervisor of Elections' financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with
which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our
tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Supervisor of
Elections, Indian River County, others within the entity, the Florida Auditor General, and
applicable federal and state agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Tax Collector (the "Tax Collector")
as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the Tax Collector's fund
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Tax Collector's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
As described in Note 1, the fund financial statements present only the funds of the Tax Collector and
do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of Indian River County as of
September 30, 2012 the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to previously present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the funds of the Tax Collector as of September 30, 2012, and the
changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 12, 2013
on our consideration of the Tax Collector's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Tax Collector, Indian
River County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Tax Collector is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article VIII, Section
1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes, the Tax
Collector does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not considered to be a
component unit. The Tax Collector is considered to be a part of the primary government of Indian River
County. The financial statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Tax
Collector only. The format of the Tax Collector's statements has been prepared in accordance with the
presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds and a
fiduciary fund.
Governmental Fund
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Tax Collector. All financial resources, which are
not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The governmental
fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial position and changes in financial
position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income determination.
Fiduciary Fund
Fiduciary Fund The Fiduciary Fund of the Tax Collector is the Agency Fund, which is used to account
for assets held by the Tax Collector as an agent. The Agency Fund is custodial in nature and does not
involve measurement of results of operations. These funds cannot be used to support the Tax
Collector's own programs.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. The fiduciary
fund is reported on an accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the
time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are recorded when received in cash or when they are considered
both measurable and available. Revenues collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned
and are reflected as liabilities.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Tax Collector to prepare an annual budget that clearly reflects the revenues

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
C. Budgetary Requirements - Continued
Management is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments as long as
management does not exceed the total appropriations of a fund. Department of Revenue approval is
only required when unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have appropriated,
thereby increasing the total appropriations of a fund. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased.
E. Prepaid Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Tax Collector's
policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is
disbursed.
F. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Tax Collector in operations is reported in
the financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for capitalization
threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.
G. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues reported on the Tax Collector's balance sheet represent revenues which are available
but not earned.
H. Compensated Absences
The Tax Collector accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences
when certain conditions are met. The Tax Collector does not, nor is she legally required to, accumulate
expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the liability for
compensated absences is not reported on the Tax Collector's financial statements. Additional
information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 7.
I. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to
the Board of County Commissioners and other governments. These "excess fees" are reported as
transfers out and a liability and were $2,706,242 at year-end.

J. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the Tax Collector's deposits was $6,710,592 and the
bank balance was $6,617,689. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. Cash on hand at September 30, 2012 was $15,524.
B. Investments
The Tax Collector modified their investment and deposit policy in August 2011. This policy requires the
Tax Collector's office to follow the above state law (governing custodial credit risk) for deposits and
Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. Refer to the County -wide Note 4, Cash and Cash Equivalents, for
definition of custodial credit risk.
At September 30, 2012, the Tax Collector had the following investments:
Weighted Average Portfolio Credit
Investment Type Fair Value Maturity In Years Percentage Risks
Other Fixed Rate Investments:
Florida PRIME (formerly Fund A) $ 161,276 .08 20.89% AAAm

Concentration Risk
The Tax Collector's cash and investment policy limits portfolio composition to the following maximum
guidelines:
Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund 95%
Florida Trust Day to Day Fund 95%
Direct Obligations of the U.S. Government 25%
Money Market, CD's, and Savings Accounts 50%
Securities & Exchange Commission Money Funds 25%
Bank Super NOW Accounts 95%
Bank Repo Agreements 50%
United States Government Agencies 25%
The Tax Collector invests surplus funds in an external investment pool, the Local Government Surplus
Funds Trust Fund (the "State Pool"). The State Pool is administered by the Florida State Board of
Administration ("SBA"), who provides regulatory oversight. During fiscal year 2008, the SBA reported
that the State Pool was exposed to potential risks due to indirect exposure in the sub -prime mortgage
financial market. Consequently, the SBA placed some restrictions on how participants could access
portions of their surplus funds and ultimately restructured the State Pool into two separate pools
("Florida PRIME" and "Fund B").
The Florida PRIME has adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 like
fund. The Tax Collector's investment in the Florida PRIME is reported at amortized cost. The fair
value of the position in the pool is equal to the value of the pool shares. At September 30, 2012, the
Florida PRIME held a rating of AAAm by Standard and Poor's and had a weighted average days to
maturity of 39 days.
The investment objective for Fund B is to maximize the present value of distributions to participants, to
the extent reasonable and prudent, net of fees; thus weight is given not only to the realized value of
security sales, but also to the speed with which monies are distributed (liquidity). As cash becomes
available in Fund B, it is distributed among participant accounts in the Florida PRIME, according to
each participant's pro rata share of Fund B. All distributions from Fund B are 100% available liquid
balance (ALB) upon transfer.
Fund B is reported at fair value, determined by the fair value per share of the Pool's underlying
portfolio. Fund B was unrated as of September 30, 2012.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS - Continued
B. Investments - Continued
Concentration Risk - Continued
All funds held in Fund B are "on -behalf -of' (OBF) accounts. These OBF accounts were established on
December 26, 2007 and held for the eleven taxing districts that did not have SBA accounts at the time of
the restructuring of SBA funds into the Florida PRIME and Fund B.
At September 30, 2012, the Tax Collector had $84,295 invested in Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund, a
fluctuating net asset value pool. The State Board of Administration (SBA) determined that Fund B did
not meet the requirements of a SEC 2a7 -like fund; therefore, a fair value factor (total net asset value of
Fund B divided by total participant balances) was provided for reporting the value of the Tax Collector's
participation in Fund B at fiscal year-end. This resulted in a negative adjustment of 5.1% of the portfolio
balance, or $4,302. Consequently, the net investment in Fund B is reported at $79,993.
Interest Rate Risk
The Tax Collector will attempt to match investment maturities with known cash needs and anticipated
cash flow requirements. Investments of current operating funds shall have maturities of no longer than
twelve months and funds in excess of current operating needs may have maturities of no longer than
twenty-four months.
Credit Risk
Florida Statutes authorize investments in certificates of deposit, savings accounts, the Local Government
Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the Florida State Board of Administration; Securities and
Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a
nationally recognized rating agency, and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.
Custodial Credit Risk
All investments are held in the name of the Tax Collector, by the Tax Collector, with the exception of
the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund, which was held by UMB Bank, and the Florida PRIME which was
held by BNY Mellon.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting. The costs of general fund inventory are recorded as an expenditure when consumed rather
than when purchased. Inventory of the Tax Collector, included in the general fund, represents postage.

NOTE 4 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Tax Collector's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a
cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all
members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based
upon each member's employment class (regular class 5.18%, senior class 6.30%, and elected official
class 10.23%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide Note 16,
Pension Plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012, were
equal to 11.44%, 10.69%, and 5.63% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 were $179,908, $170,864, and $90,405
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were $10,326 and $45,214.
Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of the required contribution for each
year.
NOTE 5 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Tax Collector participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust
(IRCOT). The Tax Collector paid their 2012 annual required contribution of $80,969 which was their
part of the total contribution determined by the IRCOT actuary. Further information on the IRCOT can
be found in the County -wide financial statements and County notes.

related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors or omissions, injuries to employees,
natural disasters, and medical and life insurance coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
Various excess catastrophe insurance policies with a commercial carrier are also in force for claims
exceeding the amount chargeable against the Self-insurance Fund. The Tax Collector participated in the
County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2012 at an annual cost of approximately $258,784.
Further details of this self-insurance program are discussed in the risk management note in the County-
wide financial statements.

Of the $100,536 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $12,711 will be
due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial statements of
the Tax Collector since they are not payable from available spendable resources. They are reported in
the financial statements of the County.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Carole Jean Jordan
Tax Collector
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Tax Collector (the "Tax
Collector"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, which collectively comprise
the Tax Collector's fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March
12, 2013. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Tax Collector is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered
the Tax Collector's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Tax Collector's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Tax Collector's financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with
which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our
tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Tax Collector,
Indian River County, others within the entity, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable
federal and state agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.
