To the Citizens of Indian River County:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Indian River County, Florida for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010, 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. 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. Since the cost of internal control
should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective of the financial statements is to provide reasonable,
rather than absolute, assurance that they are free of any material misstatements.
Section 11.45, Florida Statutes, requires an annual audit of all County agencies. The unqualified
opinion of the auditors, Harris, Cotherman, Jones, Price and Associates, Certified Public Accountants —
Chartered, of the County's financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 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 Single Audit Act Amendments
of 1996, and revised OMB Circular A-133.
The County early implemented the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54 —
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions and has prepared the financial
statements to meet these requirements. 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.
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 the Government
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. The functional (seasonal plus resident)
population reaches approximately 162,000. Like the rest of the state of Florida, the County experienced
significant population growth over the last ten years. Government, retail and the service industry remain
the largest sectors of employment in the County. Indian River citrus is a well-recognized name and
product throughout the United States and internationally.
Indian River County is a non -charter county established under the Constitution and the Laws of the State
of Florida. This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes the funds of the primary
government (the Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, 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 for which the County is financially accountable 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
The effects of the decline in the national economy continued to affect Indian River County in 2010.
Property tax values decreased from $17.4 billion in 2009 to $15.8 billion in 2010. Construction activity
dramatically decreased as well. The peak activity of growth occurred in 2005 as illustrated in Statistical
Schedule 19 and since that time, the number of building permits issued for new construction has
decreased over 90%.
Indian River County's population remained relatively unchanged from the previous year with a decrease
of 277 residents or less than I%. The unemployment rate continued to increase from 15.2% in 2009 to
15.4%.
Indian River County is a major producer of citrus in the state with approximately 11.5% of total County
acreage dedicated to citrus production. Citrus production decreased 16% from 11.4 million boxes in
2009 to 9.6 million boxes in 2010.
Long Term Financial Planning
On January 15, 2008, the County entered into a locally funded agreement with the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) to advance the 6-laning of State Road 60 from 82nd Avenue to 66th Avenue
(Segment One) at a cost of $23,833,362, funded by gas taxes and optional one -cent sales tax. On
November 18, 2008 a second agreement was established with the FDOT to advance the widening of
State Road 60 from Interstate 95 to 82nd Avenue (Segment Two) at a cost of $14,429,754. Segment One
will be repaid to the County over a two year period which began in September 2009 and Segment Two
will be repaid over a four and one half year period beginning in July 2011 with completion of the project
expected in April 2011.
ii
In March 1989, Indian River County voters passed the optional one -cent sales tax which was effective
for a fifteen year period. In November 2002, a voter referendum approved extending the optional one -
cent sales tax another 15 years until December 31, 2019. Many capital projects have been completed
with this funding that otherwise would have been funded by ad valorem dollars. In 2010, approximately
$12.6 million was received and will be used towards funding numerous capital projects including the
following construction projects:
• 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 facility will be constructed at a cost of $1.8 million. Ad valorem tax
proceeds and user fees will fund increased operating costs. The impact to ad valorem taxpayers
could be reduced through the use of possible public-private partnerships to operate this facility.
• Parks Maintenance Complex — This facility was needed to replace the existing facility that was
severely damaged by the hurricanes in 2004. The construction of the $1.5 million complex was
completed in 2010 and includes three buildings consisting of a 3,500 square foot office building,
a 1,250 square foot equipment repair/storage building including an attached covered patio and a
2,500 square foot garage building.
• Egret Marsh Stormwater Park — The County's first Algal Turf Scrubber System (ATS) was
completed in 2010 at a cost of approximately $6.0 million. This system removes dissolved
nutrients from ten million gallons of Indian River Farms Water Control District's canal water
each day and produces a useable byproduct of harvested algae.
• 53rd Street Widening — Due to growth in the northern portion of the County, 53rd Street is
reaching capacity. This project will widen the road from two to four lanes from 58th Avenue to
Indian River Boulevard at a cost of approximately $5.1 million.
• 800 Mhz Radio Expansion — Construction of a $2.2 million communications tower is planned
for fiscal year 2010-2011. This tower will help eliminate deficiencies in "in -building coverage"
for public safety agencies that have resulted since the significant growth in the south county area.
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 FY 2010, County investments
had yields ranging from 0.05% to 4.75%. The overall annual yield of the portfolio as of September 30,
2010 was 1.27%.
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 May 12, 2009. 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 net cash contribution to
the OPEB Trust for the fiscal year was $1.7 million. In addition, interest, dividend and mark -to -market
income was $415,361. Yields ranged from -15.38% to 17.18% throughout the year.
iii
Major Initiatives
In response to the critical erosion of several areas of County beaches, the Board of County
Commissioners approved the Comprehensive Beach Preservation Plan (BPP) in 1999. The BPP
provides for renourishment of these areas and is periodically updated to identify changing beach
conditions. On February 3, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the 2008 Beach
Preservation Plan which presents an overall strategy to protect and nourish the current status of critically
eroded beaches within Indian River County. The plan also presents probable costs and prioritizes means
for funding the implementation of the BPP. Since the implementation of the BPP, approximately 5
miles of beach have been renourished. A large scale beach nourishment of Sector 3 is currently
underway. This project consists of placing approximately 586,000 cubic yards of dump truck hauled
upland beach sand onto approximately 6.6 miles of County beaches. Total costs for design, construction
and monitoring are estimated at $13.1 million, of which, $5.5 million was spent in FY 2010. Funding
will be from the Beach Preservation Fund, a portion of local option tourist tax revenue, and the one -cent
sales tax. State and federal grants as well as an inter -local agreement with the Sebastian Inlet Taxing
District will provide additional funding for this project.
The Spoonbill Marsh Brine project currently underway will provide an alternative to discharging brine
directly into the Indian River Lagoon at an estimated cost of $2.1 million. Also being constructed is the
North Regional Reuse Storage and Repump Facility which is designed to transfer reuse water from the
mainland to the barrier island. Completion of the reuse main is scheduled for 2010-2011 with a cost of
approximately $1.9 million.
A new biosolids facility was completed in FY 2010 which relocated biosolids processing from the
Central Wastewater Plant to the Indian River County landfill site. The $5.1 million facility was
designed to accept liquid sludge. The liquid sludge is then dewatered and the dried product is trucked
over to the landfill for disposal.
Awards and Acknowledgements
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, 2009. This was
the 27th 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.
iv
In addition, Indian River County also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
for its annual budget document for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. This was the 19th 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.
Summary
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.

Independent Auditors' Report
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, 2010, 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, 2010, 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
11, 2011 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.

The Management's Discussion and Analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in
the table of contents, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion
on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the basic financial statements
that collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. The accompanying
information identified in the table of contents as combining and individual fund statements and
schedules and the schedule of federal awards and state projects is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information

statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
The information identified in the table of contents as the Introductory and Statistical Sections is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements of Indian River County, Florida. Such information has not been subjected to the

• The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities by $1,004.8 million (net assets). Of this amount,
$140.4 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The government's total net assets increased by $17.7 million. Governmental activities accounted
for $23.3 million of this increase primarily due to conservative budgeting in anticipation of
revenue shortfalls and the savings from early completion of several capital projects.
Governmental activities expenses reflected a 9.7% reduction ($164.9 million in 2009 to $148.9
million in 2010). The increase in governmental activities net assets was offset by a $5.6 million
decrease in business -type activities net assets, largely attributable to a decrease in interest
earnings and developer contributions.
• Unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $33.2 million, or a 5.4% decrease from the
prior year general fund unassigned balance. The key factors for the decrease were due to $1.5
million committed to local job grants and $1.4 million assigned to FY 2011 budget
appropriation.
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 financial 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 Assets presents information on all of the County's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets 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, 2010
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned, but unused, vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of 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, 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 37 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, the Optional (one -cent) Sales Tax Fund. All are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other 31 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 101-152 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 155-159 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 (IRCOT) 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 43-99 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 100 of this report.

Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the County, assets exceeded liabilities by $1,004.8 million at the close of the
fiscal year. By far, the largest portion of the County's net assets (70%) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, intangibles, machinery, and equipment), less any related 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 assets (16.0%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the unrestricted net assets ($140.4 million) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The $18.6 million increase in net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt resulted from: 1)
the construction of roads, drainage and beach restoration projects, 2) the purchase of right-of-way, and
3) the expansion of water, wastewater and sludge facilities.
Con
Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
The decrease in governmental activities restricted net assets and the increase in governmental
unrestricted net assets were due to the early implementation of GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. Amounts that were previously classified as
restricted ($22.1 million) in fiscal year 2009 were deemed to belong in the committed and assigned
categories in fiscal year 2010 (now considered unrestricted under the new Statement).
In addition to the reclassification of $22.1 million in net assets, there was an $7.2 million increase in
governmental activities unrestricted net assets due to the receipt of a $4.0 million grant in the County's
Beach Restoration fund and a $3.2 million increase in County's Self Insurance Fund.
The decrease in business -type activities restricted net assets and the increase in business -type
unrestricted net assets was due to the completion of capital projects. In the County Utilities Fund, the
net assets are restricted during construction and then unrestricted upon completion.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities revenues exceeded expenses by $23.3 million. Key elements of this increase
are as follows:
• Overall program revenues decreased $7.0 million.
1) Charges for services decreased by $3.7 million or 20%. Effective July 1, 2009 the
accounting treatment of certain court related revenues changed, and this resulted in a $1.8
million decrease compared to the previous year. The remaining decrease of $1.9 million is a
reflection of the slowdown in the general economy.
2) Operating grants in 2010 were $4.7 million higher, an increase of 42% from the 2009
operating grant revenues. Economic environment operating grants increased by $3.2
million, transportation increased by $2.1 million, and the remaining grants decreased by $0.6
million.
3) Capital grants were $8.0 million lower in 2010 than in 2009, an overall decrease of 53%.
This was largely due to decreased physical environment capital grants ($3.1 million lower)
and decreased culture/recreation capital grants ($3.0 million lower).
• The governmental activities expenses were $16.0 million lower in 2010 than in 2009. The
decrease is a reflection of budget cuts and the completion of projects. General government
expenses decreased by $2.3 million, public safety expenses decreased by $3.0 million,
transportation decreased by $2.8 million, human services decreased by $1.1 million,
culture/recreation decreased by $8.5 million, and the remaining expenses increased by $1.7
million.
Business -type Activities
Business -type activities net assets decreased by $5.6 million. Key elements of this decrease are as
follows:
• Operating grants decreased by $1.2 million as there were no operating grants in 2010. Capital
grants/contributions decreased $2.0 million as a result of lower developer capital contributions.
• Interest earnings had decreased by $2.5 million or 68% from the preceding year due to lower
interest rates.
• In 2009, transfers in the amount of $7.5 million represented water and sewer capital project
contributions from the governmental activities.
• Overall expenses were $2.9 million or 5% lower in 2010 than in 2009, the reflection of budget
cuts due to the expected economic slowdown, which included: 1) golf course had $0.2 million or
8% lower expenses in 2010 than in 2009, 2) building department had $0.3 million or 14% lower
expenses in 2010 than in 2009, 3) water and sewer utilities expenses were $2.7 million or 7%
lower in 2010 than in 2009. Water and sewer utilities expenses also decreased due to lower
renewal and replacement costs. Solid waste expenses were $0.3 million or 3% higher in 2010
than in 2009 mainly due to increased depreciation costs for completed capital projects.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 16% of this total amount ($32 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 ($2.5 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
($130.2 million), 3) a committed category for constraints imposed by formal action of the Board of
County Commissioners ($26.4 million), and 4) an assigned category for constraints by the County's
intent to use for specific purposes ($10.9 million).
The two largest restricted amounts are in the Impact Fees Fund with a $40.9 million restricted fund
balance and the Optional Sales Tax Fund with a $34.7 million restricted fund balance. Fund balances of
the Impact Fees and Secondary Roads Construction Funds are slated for major road expansions
throughout the County.
The County's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $202.0 million, which is an
increase of $1.5 million over the prior year of $200.5 million. Contributing factors to the $1.5 million
increase in fund balance are:
• Fund balance in the General Fund increased by $0.9 million. This small increase was a reflection
of an 11 % reduction in property tax revenue; consequently, budgets were similarly decreased,
including transfers to other funds.
• In the Impact Fees Fund, expenditures exceeded revenues by $5.4 million. Contributing factors
were the slowdown in construction activity reflected by a decrease in impact fee revenue of $0.6
million, or 30%, and a decrease in interest earnings of $1.2 million due to market conditions.
The transportation expenditures decreased by $7.7 million, from $14.1 million in 2009 to $6.4
million in 2010, due to the completion of some large road projects. Culture/recreation
expenditures decreased by $0.7 million, from $1.9 million to 2009 to $1.2 million in 2010, due to
the completion of the Brackett library collection.
• Fund balance in the Secondary Roads Construction Fund decreased by $1.2 million due to the
completion of road projects.
• The Optional Sales Tax Fund increased by $2.4 million. Capital project expenditures decreased
by $2.6 million due to the completion of the Egret Marsh stormwater project.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
Proprietary funds
Unrestricted net assets at the end of the year amounted to $18.5 million in the Solid Waste Disposal
District Fund, ($0.2) million in the Golf Course Fund, $3.9 million in the County Building Fund, and
$32.4 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 $10.7 million increase in appropriations between the original and final
amended budget. The main components of the increase are as follows:
$8,000,000 supplemental appropriation for incentive payments to Piper Aircraft.
$1,748,566 grants appropriations and prior year rollovers for the Senior Resource Association to
provide County -wide public transportation.
$149,656 payment of the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCARP) to the Sheriff's
Department.
Actual revenues exceeded final budget by $2.5 million for the following reasons:
Actual receipts of taxes exceeded budget by $700,000.
Actual franchise fees received exceeded budget by $500,000.
Grants received mid -year that are not budgeted until awarded.
Actual expenditures were lower than anticipated for the following reasons:
Positions budgeted but not filled due to hiring freeze.
Utilities expenses decreased due to a reduction in electric rates.
Piper incentive of $8 million was not paid.
The General Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances — Budget and
Actual is shown on page 27.
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, 2010, amounts to $813.1 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 increase in the County's investment in capital
assets for the current fiscal year was 1% (a 3% increase for governmental activities and a 2% decrease
for business -type activities).
11
Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
Governmental activities had the following major increases during the fiscal year:
• An increase in infrastructure primarily due to the capitalization of the County Road 512
widening project from Sebastian River Middle School to I-95 ($8.9 million), the College Lane
expansion project ($1.9 million), and the 56th Court Bridge over the North Relief Canal Project
($1.2 million).
• An increase in buildings and improvements primarily due to the capitalization of the parks
maintenance complex ($1.5 million), Fire Station #9 renovations ($2.2 million) and Fire Station
#12 construction ($2.1 million).
• An increase in right-of-way primarily due to $2.8 million for right-of-way on 43rd Avenue and
$1.8 million for 66th Avenue.
Business -type activities had the following major increases during the fiscal year:
• An increase in buildings and improvements was due to the capitalization of the West Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion ($23.0 million), the new Biosolids Facility ($5.1
million), and the Fellsmere Convenience Center ($2.1 million).
• An increase in intangibles due to the contribution of numerous utilities easements ($0.8 million).

Debt Administration - Long-term debt
At the end of the current fiscal year, the County had total bonded debt outstanding of $113.0 million. Of
this amount, $44.5 million is debt backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The revenue
bonds represent bonds secured solely by specified revenue sources.
Indian River County's Outstanding Debt
General Obligation and Revenue Bonds
(In Millions)
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 & Poor's is "AAA" and
"AA" on the Revenue Bonds. Standard & Poor's rating is required on all issues. A second rating from
Fitch or Moody's is also required.
Additional information on the County's long-term debt can be found in Note 13 on pages 74-85 of this
report.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
In response to declining property values, sales tax and various other County revenues, the Board's
departments, Constitutional Officers, and outside agencies were asked to trim their budgets substantially
from the previous year. Many cost savings initiatives have been proposed in order to account for the
revenue reductions. Some of these include management reorganizations, staffing reductions, operating
expense decreases, contract renegotiations, minimal reductions of services and programs, and reduced
non-profit funding. In summary, staff has undertaken a critical review of all functions to streamline
operations as much as possible without impacting service levels. The tax roll in the General Fund
decreased by 10.4% due to continued falling real estate values. The total proposed budget is a decrease
of $258,855,120 or 27.9%.

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 & Poor's is "AAA" and
"AA" on the Revenue Bonds. Standard & Poor's rating is required on all issues. A second rating from
Fitch or Moody's is also required.
Additional information on the County's long-term debt can be found in Note 13 on pages 74-85 of this
report.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
In response to declining property values, sales tax and various other County revenues, the Board's
departments, Constitutional Officers, and outside agencies were asked to trim their budgets substantially
from the previous year. Many cost savings initiatives have been proposed in order to account for the
revenue reductions. Some of these include management reorganizations, staffing reductions, operating
expense decreases, contract renegotiations, minimal reductions of services and programs, and reduced
non-profit funding. In summary, staff has undertaken a critical review of all functions to streamline
operations as much as possible without impacting service levels. The tax roll in the General Fund
decreased by 10.4% due to continued falling real estate values. The total proposed budget is a decrease
of $258,855,120 or 27.9%.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2010
Indian River County, like the nation overall, has been experiencing a continuation of the economic
slowdown this year, impacting our tourism and retail industries. New construction activity has remained
sluggish. During the fiscal year, the County reached an agreement with a renewable energy production
facility to locate its facilities to Indian River County.
Some revenues have leveled off and some are beginning to show signs of a slight increase. Therefore,
our revenue projections for next year are mixed. For example, Half -Cent Sales Tax is increasing 2%,
while interest earnings are expected to drop 39.2%. State Shared Revenues are expected to increase by
3.2%, with building permits to decrease 5.1%.
With an increase in recycling and the department's cost cutting measures, Solid Waste Disposal District
(SWDD) commercial rates have decreased 0.1% for fiscal year 2010-2011. Residential rates and the
readiness -to -use fee remain unchanged.
Street lighting district assessment rates for ten of the districts were able to be decreased ranging from
8.33% to 33.3%.
All other rates and user's fees remain unchanged from fiscal year 2009-2010.

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, 2010
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds S 1,514,784
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 29,084,405
Less current year loss on assets (574,088)
Less current year depreciation (17,989,825) 10,520,492
Governmental funds do not report capital assets contributed from outside the
entity. However, those assets are recognized in the statement of net assets
and the capital contribution is recognized in the statement of activities.
Assets transferred from governmental funds to proprietary funds must be recognized as
a transfer out on the statement of activities.
Payments of bond principal and pollution remediation costs are expenditures in the
governmental funds, but the payment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of
net assets.
Bond principal payment
Bond premium payment
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.
2,801,077
(28,068)
5,315,000
93,224
46,100 5,454,324
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 43,716
Accrued OPEB expense 215,850
Some revenues reported in the governmental funds have been recognized as revenues in
the prior fiscal year in the statement of activities.
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 141,198. The County is governed by the Board of County
Commissioners and five elected constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court, 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 for 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 Board applies all GASB pronouncements in the preparation of the financial statements of
the enterprise funds as well as all FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinions and Accounting
Research Bulletins, issued after November 30, 1989, which do not conflict with or contradict GASB
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 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.
Component Unit
In previous years the, Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCHA), created pursuant to Chapter
421, Florida Statutes, was included in the government -wide financial statements of the County as a
discretely presented component unit. The IRCHA financial statements were not completed prior to the
issuance of the County's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and are considered
immaterial to the County as a whole. Consequently, the financial statements of the IRCHA are not
included in the government -wide financial statements and notes. See Note 24, Subsequent Events, for
the County's action with respect to this unit.
Further information on the IRCHA financial statements should be addressed to the administrative office
located at 1028 20th Place, Vero Beach, Florida 32960.
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

NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting - Continued
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), as well as
its discretely presented component unit. 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. Likewise, the primary government is reported
separately from the legally separate component unit for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
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, 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.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government -wide financial
statements, rather than reported as expenditure. 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, liabilities, fund
equity, 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 nomnajor 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 45 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.
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities 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 current assets.
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 net current assets, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.

Governmental Funds — Continued
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 and all liabilities (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 assets. The
County applies all GASB pronouncements as well as all FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB
Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins, issued after November 30, 1989, which do not conflict
with or contradict GASB 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.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the fund financial statements, rather
than reported as expenditures. Issuance of long-term debt is 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 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, 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.
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.
Secondary Roads Construction Fund — The Secondary Roads Construction Fund accounts for the
expenditures of road and bridge construction. 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 taxes, 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 entire County. Financing is
provided by ad valorem taxes.
Optional Sales Tax Fund — The Optional Sales Tax Fund accounts for revenues 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.
2. Proprietary Major Funds:
Solid Waste Disposal District Fund — The Solid Waste Disposal District Fund accounts for the
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities associated with the County landfill.
Golf Course Fund — The Golf Course Fund accounts for the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities
associated with the Golf Course.
County Utilities Fund — The County Utilities Fund accounts for the revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities associated with the County water and sewer system.

County Building Fund — The County Building Fund accounts for revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities associated with the County building permit and inspection program.
3. 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.
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 assets.
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
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.

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, 2010, 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, 2010.
4. Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lendingiborrowing 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 Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventory which is valued using the
moving 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. The County purchased
sixteen homes under this program and intends to resell them within 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 Assets
Certain net assets of the County are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net assets 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 assets, qualified expenses are considered
to be paid first from restricted net assets and then from unrestricted net assets. Further information on
the restrictions can be found in Note 21.
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, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector, and is accountable for them
under Florida Law.

9. Capital Assets - Continued
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 assets.
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
Beach preservation infrastructure 7
Stormwater infrastructure 30
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. Unearned Revenues
In government -wide financial statements, unearned revenues are recognized as revenue in the fiscal
year they are earned. In governmental fund financial statements (in accordance with the modified
accrual basis of accounting), deferred revenues represent revenues, which are measurable but not
available, or received and unearned. At September 30, 2010, the total amount of deferred revenues
reported on the governmental funds balance sheet is $1,422,426; $592,445 is available, but unearned,
and $829,981 is earned but not available.
12. 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.

13. 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, 2010.
14. 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.
15. Unamortized Bond Costs
Bond issuance costs and legal fees associated with the issuance of proprietary fund revenue bonds are
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method of accounting.
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 Assets 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, 2009, the County implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54 Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. See Note 19 for further information on
Fund Balance.

NOTE 2 - RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
A. Explanation of Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the
Government -wide Statement of Net Assets
"Total fund balances" of the County's governmental funds, $201,984,018, differs from "net assets" of
governmental activities, $698,982,935, reported in the statement of net assets. This difference primarily
results from the long-term economic focus of the statement of net assets versus the current financial
resources focus of the governmental fund balance sheet.
Capital related items
When capital assets (property, plant, equipment, intangibles) that are to be used in governmental
activities are purchased or constructed, the costs of those assets are reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. However, the statement of net assets included those capital assets among the assets
of the County as a whole.
Cost of capital assets $ 731,725,044
Accumulated depreciation (195,150,968)
Net Total 536.574.076
Long-term debt transactions
Long-term liabilities applicable to the County's governmental activities are not due and payable in the
current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities (both current and long-
term) are reported in the statement of net assets.
Balances at September 30, 2010 were:

Unearned revenues in the statement of net assets differ from the amount reported in governmental funds
due to special assessments and FEMA receivables. Governmental fund financial statements report
revenues, which are measurable but not available as unearned revenues. However, unearned revenues in

B. Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the
Statement of Activities
The "net change in fund balances" for governmental funds, $1,514,784, differs from the "change in net
assets" for governmental activities, $23,253,316 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 assets decrease by the amount of depreciation expense charged for the
year.
Capital outlay $ 29,084,405
Depreciation expense (17,989,825)
Transfers to business -type activities (28,068)
Capital contributions 2,801,077
Loss on assets (574,088)
Difference 13,293,501
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 assets and do not result in an expense in the statement of activities.
Bond principal payments made $ 5,315,000
Bond premium payments made 93,224
Pollution remediation payments made 46,100
Total S 5.454.324
Governmental funds report interest and OPEB expenditures based on when they are paid. The statement
of activities reports interest expense as it is incurred. This is the net number of the previous year accrual
and the current year accrual.
Net accrued OPEB expense $ 215,850

Reclassification and Eliminations
The governmental funds recognize revenues in the amount of $2,644,364 for the general administrative
charges to the general government, public safety, transportation, culture/recreation, and court related
functions. These revenues and expenditures must be eliminated to avoid double counting. Transfers in
and transfers out in the amount of $17,001,997 between governmental activities should be eliminated.
Capital projects costs in the amount of $7,487,068 must be distributed to the related expenditure
functions.

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 Department of Revenue, State of Florida, a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. 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, 2010, the carrying amount of the primary government's deposits was $27,363,553
and the bank balance was $30,415,975. 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.
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, 2010, accrued interest for the County's portfolio totaled $536,746. The remaining
accrued interest is reflected in utilities and road paving assessments.
C. Investments
On August 12, 2008, the County and the constitutional officers, 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 his formal policy in
February 2005, and revised the policy November 2009.

C. Investments - Continued
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, 2010, the County had $922,377 invested in Fund B
Surplus Funds Trust Fund, a fluctuating net asset value pool. The State Board of Administration (SBA)
determined a negative fair market value adjustment of 29.29% of the portfolio balance, or $270,203,
was needed to represent the fair market value of the participation. Consequently, the net investment in
Fund B is reported at $652,174.
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 12 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 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;

Credit Risks - Continued
Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit
quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;
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 County's investment policy has established asset allocation and issuer limits to reduce
concentration of credit risk in the County's investment portfolio. All investments are stated at fair
value. The County'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 does allow 25% of the portfolio to be
invested in CDs and/or money market funds. See investment list and percentages at the beginning of
Note 4C.
Custodial Credit Risk
The County's investment policy pursuant to Section 218.415 (18), Florida Statutes requires securities to
be registered and shall be held with a third parry custodian and all securities purchased by, and all
collateral obtained by, the County shall be held in the name of the County. The securities must be held
in an account separate and apart from the assets of the financial institution. As of September 30, 2010,
the County's investment portfolio in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and all money market funds, was
held by The Bank of New York/Mellon with the exception of the following: the SunTrust NOW
account, the Regions Bank Money Market, CenterState Bank certificates of deposit, and the Florida
Trust Day to Day Fund. The Florida Trust Day to Day Fund was 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 York/Mellon. The investments are reported at fair value based
upon market -close price on the last business day of each month.

C. Special Item
In fiscal year 2010, the Utilities proprietary fund constructed a new sludge facility. The County's
existing sludge facility was not fully depreciated at the completion of the new facility, and County staff
determined that a portion of the facility would continue to be utilized for other County needs. The
portion that was abandoned resulted in the calculation of an impairment loss in accordance with GASB
Statement 42 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance
Recoveries. This loss resulted in a write down in value of $665,460 of the existing asset and is
presented as a special item on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Assets
for the Proprietary Funds.
NOTE 7 - RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

The current principal and interest payments of $643,889 represent eighty-four percent of net revenues
($763,556) of the golf course. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the bonds is
$3,599,115. All three pledged revenue sources totaled $1,695,118 for the current fiscal year. The

are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying
mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the
private -sector entity served by the bond issuance. Neither the County, the State, nor any political
subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are

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 $4.2 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:
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, 2010, $9,466,618 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government Investment Trust and
$52,118 was on deposit in the County's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:

Closure and long-term care costs 10,427.975 $495,402 $1,404,641 $9,518,736

remediation based on three plausible mitigation scenarios. An obligating event occurred at each of the
following six sites requiring the County (using the consultant's services) to attempt to accrue a liability
for pollution remediation. The liability totaled $2,539,800 at September 30, 2010 for all six 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.

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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; all contributions are made by
the employer. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the
defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting of benefits after six
years of credible service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at or after
age 62 with six or more years of service or thirty years of service regardless of age. Early retirement is
available after six years of service with a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the
normal retirement age. Retirement benefits are based on age, average compensation, and years -of -
service credit where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest
years of earnings. For those employees who elect participation in the Investment Plan rather than the
Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service and there is no "normal retirement 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.
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

NOTE 17 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN
A. Plan Description
The Indian River County OPEB Trust (IRCOT) was established by resolution on September 23, 2008
for 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 Indian River County
Board of County Commissioners acts as the OPEB Board of Trustees and delegates the administration
of the IRCOT to an OPEB Trust Board. The OPEB Trust Board consists of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court, Budget Director, Finance Director, County Administrator, and Human Resources Director.
Resolution 2008-163 gave authority to establish the IRCOT as a single -employer defined benefit plan
(OPEB Plan). The IRCOT's financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. The
IRCOT trustees can amend the benefit provisions. The OPEB Plan subsidizes 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 the plan members). Employees
hired on or after February 1, 2006 will not be eligible for any subsidy, regardless of years of service or
Medicare eligibility. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate per $1,000 of coverage. The
premium rate is contingent upon age and date of retirement. Only the implicit rate subsidy applies to
retiree life insurance coverage since retirees are responsible for the full premium of their life insurance
policy.
Retired employees are permitted to remain covered under the County'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 implicit rate subsidy
also applies to health insurance coverage since the premiums charged are based upon a blending of
younger, active employees and older, retired employees. Active participants as well as retirees are
subject to the same benefits and rules. Health insurance premiums, effective October 1, 2008, range
from $198 for Medicare participants to $735 for family coverage. The County subsidizes the cost of
the premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service and employment date; a 2% discount for
each year of service based upon the following table:
Retirement Date

Under Age 65

The retiree has the option to continue with the County group health plan or elect the Medicare
Advantage Plan. The subsidy will apply to either plan. At October 1, 2009, the date of the latest
actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of:
Active participants 1,452

Financial statements for the IRCOT 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 IRCOT 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 IRCOT is advance funded by the
County. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the County contributed $3.03 million to the qualifying
IRCOT. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $0.95 million or approximately 38 percent of
total premiums. It is the County's policy to base future IRCOT 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 IRCOT 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 IRCOT cost for the
year, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
The contribution made to the IRCOT for the current fiscal year was 107.7% of the annual OPEB cost.
Information is available for the two preceding fiscal years. As of the October 1, 2009 actuarial
valuation date, the IRCOT was 11.37% funded, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $29.1
million, and the actuarial value of assets was $3.7 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued
liability (UAAL) of $28.8 million. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by
the IRCOT) was $70.6 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 40.8%. 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.
The schedule of funding progress and schedule of employer contributions, presented as required
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents information about
whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the
actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
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.
The actuarial methods are:
Actuarial cost method
Amortization method
Amortization period (closed)
Asset valuation method
The actuarial assumptions are:
Investment rate of return
Projected annual salaries increase
Healthcare cost trend rate
(post-retirement benefit)
Inflation rate
Entry age normal cost method
Level percent of payroll projected to grow 4% per year
18 years
Market Value

NOTE 19 - FUND BALANCE
County Fund Balance Policy
The County elected to early implement the GASB Statement 54 - Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Funds Type Definitions. 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
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 formal action of the Board of County
Commissioners, including resolution or ordinance. This category includes contractual obligations
entered into by the Board of County Commissioners.
Assigned - Amounts constrained by the County's intent 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.
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. This reserve is presented
as committed fund balance in those funds.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
NOTE 19 - FUND BALANCE - Continued
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. This reserve is presented as committed fund balance in those
funds. 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.
The approved fund balance policy dictates the County's attempt to maintain a minimum unassigned
fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20% of
budgeted annual operating expenditures.
The Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the
Board of County Commissioners. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the County
Administrator or his designee.
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.
NOTE 20 - FUND BALANCE DEFICIT
The following funds had a deficit in fund balance at September 30, 2010:
Fund Deficit
Nonmajor Governmental Funds:
Metropolitan Planning Organization Fund $ 120,199
Federal/State Grants Fund 45,695
Disaster Recovery Grant Fund 33,248
Total Deficit $ 199,142
The deficits for these three funds will be eliminated by grant proceeds in fiscal year 2011.

The County has established certain restrictions within the net assets section of the proprietary funds.
Restricted net assets at September 30, 2010 consist of the following:
Restricted for Debt Service:
Golf Course Fund $ 43,333
County Utilities Fund 249,167
Total $ 292,500
Restricted for Capital Projects:

B. Net Assets Restricted by Enabling Legislation
The government -wide statement of net assets for the primary government reports $160,827,130 of
restricted net assets, of which $75,786,441 is restricted by enabling legislation.
C. Restatement of Beginning Net Assets
In fiscal year 2009, and in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 49, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations, beginning net assets for governmental and
business type activities was restated as of October 1, 2008. In fiscal year 2010, the consultant's report
included an additional site in the County, the former Cumberland Farms site, for pollution remediation
obligations. Based on the consultant's report and the costs paid during the fiscal year, the governmental
funds' portion of the new site's estimated liability at October 1, 2009 was $201,000; therefore,
beginning net assets of the governmental activities was reduced by that amount. For additional
information on the County's pollution remediation obligation, please see Note 15.

General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical
The County 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 County 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:

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. The County has not incurred any settlements in excess of the insurance coverage listed above in
the past four fiscal years. 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.
General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical - Continued
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. For worker's compensation, the plan assumes all risk for
claims up to $350,000 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 the 2008, 2009, and 2010
fiscal years.
The claims liability of $7,899,000 reported at September 30, 2010, 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, $2,351,622 will be liquidated over the next twelve months.

2.5 percent.
NOTE 23 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Litigation
Various suits and claims are currently pending against the County. It is impossible for the County 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 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, 2010. In the General
Fund, contracts are for custodial services and external auditing services. In the Special Revenue Funds,
contracts are for Sector 3 beach restoration, Old Dixie Highway bridge replacement, 43rd Avenue and
66th Avenue roadway expansions as well as a variety of other road paving and drainage projects. In the
Capital Projects Fund, contracts are for the expansion of the 800 Mhz radio system, South County Park
Phase III improvements, 53rd Street roadway improvements, and several sidewalk and road

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 I% 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 information; 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.

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 financial statements of Indian River County, Florida (the "County") as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated March 11,
2011. 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
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.

The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(i)5.) provide that the auditor may, based on
professional judgment, report the following matters that have an inconsequential effect on financial
statement amounts, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors: (1) violations of provisions of
contracts or grant agreements, fraud, illegal acts or abuse and (2) deficiencies in internal control that are
not significant deficiencies. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(i)6.) require that the name or official title and legal
authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed in this
management letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. This disclosure has been
included in the notes to the financial statements.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(i)7.a.), none of the conditions
described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes, were met during the fiscal year ended September 30,
2010.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(i)7.b.), the annual financial report
required to be filed with the Florida Department of Financial Services pursuant to Section 218.32(1)(a) of
the Florida Statutes has been completed and is in agreement with the annual financial audit report.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Sections 10.554(1)(i)7.c. and 10.556(7)), we applied
financial condition assessment procedures relating to Indian River County. It is management's
responsibility to monitor the County's financial condition, and our financial condition assessment was
based in part on representations made by management and the review of financial information provided
by same.
Pursuant to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, this management letter is a public record and its distribution is
not limited. Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America require us to indicate
that this letter is intended solely for the information and use of management and others within the entity,

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

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 Indian River County, Florida'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; Chapter 69I-5, Rules of the Department of Financial Services, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of
the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, Chapter 69I-5 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, 2010.
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 auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and
to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project on a
timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be prevented, or
detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be
deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control
over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Projects
We have audited the 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, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2011, which contained unqualified
opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the
financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state projects is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
Auditor General and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the 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 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
financial statements as a whole.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of County Commissioners, management, the
Auditor General of the State of Florida, 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 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 Compli-
ance 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 modified accrual basis of accounting is followed in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and
State Projects. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable
and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period
or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the County considers rev-
enues to be available if they are collected within 45 days after the end of the current fiscal period. Expendi-
tures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
Actual disaster relief expenditures exceed the amount allowed by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency for many projects. Future Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Projects may be
adjusted to reflect additional expenditures from current and prior fiscal years.

Independent Auditors' Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance
with a Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That Is
Otherwise in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida Board of
County Commissioners as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of County 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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and 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
opinion.
As described in Note 1, the accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Board of County Commissioners at September 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the year then
ended. These financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position
of Indian River County.
In our opinion, the accompanying fund financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Board of County Commissioners as of September 30, 2010 and the results of
operations for the year then ended in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued reports dated March 11, 2011 on
our consideration of the Board of County Commissioners' internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of County
Commissioners, the Auditor General of the State of Florida, 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 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
equity, 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, liabilities,
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 Assets 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 45 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 and current liabilities 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 current assets.
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.

Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 and all liabilities (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 assets. The Board applies all GASB
Pronouncements as well as all FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinions and Accounting
Research Bulletins, issued after November 30, 1989, which do not conflict with or contradict GASB
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.

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, 2010, 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, 2010.

F. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting, with the exception of the Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventory which is valued using the
moving 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. The Board purchased
sixteen homes under this program and intends to resell them within 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 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. 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.

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. Unamortized Bond Costs
Bond issuance costs and legal fees associated with the issuance of Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method of accounting.
L. Unamortized Bond Discounts and Premiums
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. Deferred Revenues
In governmental fund financial statements (in accordance with the modified accrual basis of
accounting), deferred revenues represent revenues, which are measurable but not available, or received
and unearned.
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, 2010.
Q. New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective October 1, 2009, the County implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54 Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. See Note 17 for further information on
Fund Balance.
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
Department of Revenue, State of Florida, a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
R. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
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, 2010, the carrying value of the Board's deposits with banks was $13,922,262 and the
bank balance was $15,405,008. 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".
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, 2010, accrued interest for the Board's portfolio totaled $335,536 and was allocated to the
funds based on their average monthly balance for September.

Florida PRIME Fund (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund 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, 2010, the Board had $762,724 invested
in Fund B Surplus Funds Trust Fund, a fluctuating net asset value pool. The State Board of
Administration (SBA) determined a negative fair market value adjustment of 29.29% of the portfolio
balance, or $223,434, was needed to represent the fair market value of the participation. Consequently,
the net investment in Fund B is reported at $539,290.
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

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, 2010, the Board's
investment portfolio in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and all money market funds, was held by The
Bank of New York/Mellon with the exception of the following: the SunTrust NOW account, the
Regions Bank Money Market, and the Florida Trust Day to Day Fund. The Florida Trust Day to Day
Fund was 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 York/Mellon. 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 (amended
on May 12, 2009). 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.

In fiscal year 2010, the Utilities proprietary fund constructed a new sludge facility. The Board's existing
sludge facility was not fully depreciated at the completion of the new facility, and Board staff
determined that a portion of the facility would continue to be utilized for other Board needs. The portion
that was abandoned resulted in the calculation of an impairment loss in accordance with GASB
Statement 42 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance
Recoveries. This loss resulted in a write down in value of $665,460 of the existing asset and is
presented as a special item on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Assets
for the Proprietary Funds.

transportation activities which must be accounted for in a special revenue fund, 2) use unrestricted
general fund and optional sales tax revenues for beach restoration activities which must be accounted for
in another fund, and 3) use unrestricted general fund revenues to offset a portion of salaries and benefits
expenses for an employee accounted for in the health insurance fund.
One non -routine transfer occurred in the amount of $906,191 due to accumulated interest earnings that

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
County's outstanding Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1993. The Series 2003 bonds are being issued
by the County 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.
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 the previous
year. 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.

E. Conduit Debt Obligations
In 1999, Indian River County issued Industrial Revenue Bonds which provide financial assistance to
private -sector entities for the acquisition, construction, and equipping of industrial and commercial
facilities deemed to be in the public interest. These facilities include an educational facility. The bonds
are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying
mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the
private -sector entity served by the bond issuance. Neither the County, the State, nor any political
subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are
not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
The School bonds with a principal amount of $14,800,000 were called January 6, 2010.
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 $4.2 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.

NOTE 12 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS - Continued
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, 2010, $9,466,618 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government Investment Trust and
$52,118 was on deposit in the Board's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:

will be due and payable within one year.

NOTE 14 — PENSION PLANS
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Board'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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; all contributions are made by the
employer. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting of benefits after six years of
creditable service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at or after age 62
with six or more years of service or thirty years of service regardless of age. Early retirement is available
after six years of service with a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the normal
retirement age. Retirement benefits are based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit
where average compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of
earnings. For those employees who elect participation in the Investment Plan rather than the Pension
Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service and there is no "normal retirement 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.
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.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010, were equal to
13.3%, 13.1%, and 13.4% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010, were $5,803,638, $5,630,401 and $5,602,795 respectively,
which are 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, Education, & Policy 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
A. Plan Description
The Indian River County OPEB Trust (IRCOT) was established by resolution on September 23, 2008
for 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 Indian River County
Board of County Commissioners acts as the OPEB Board of Trustees and delegates the administration
of the IRCOT to an OPEB Trust Board. The OPEB Trust Board consists of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court, Budget Director, Finance Director, County Administrator, and Human Resources Director.
Resolution 2008-163 gave authority to establish the IRCOT as a single -employer defined benefit plan
(OPEB Plan). The Trust's financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. The
IRCOT trustees can amend the benefit provisions. The OPEB Plan subsidizes 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 the plan members). Employees hired
on or after February 1, 2006 will not be eligible for any subsidy, regardless of years of service or
Medicare eligibility. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate per $1,000 of coverage. The
premium rate is contingent upon age and date of retirement. Only the implicit rate subsidy applies to
retiree life insurance coverage since the retirees are responsible for the full premium of their life
insurance coverage.
Retired employees are permitted to remain covered under the County'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 implicit rate subsidy
also applies to health insurance coverage since the premiums charged are based upon a blending of
younger, active employees and older, retired employees. Active participants as well as retirees are
subject to the same benefits and rules. Health insurance premiums, effective October 1, 2008, range
from $198 for Medicare participants to $735 for family coverage. The County subsidizes the cost of the
premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service and employment date; a 2% discount for
each year of service based upon the following table:
Retirement Date
Years of Service
Under Age 65

in Note 2D.
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 IRCOT is advance funded by the Board.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, the County contributed $3.03 million to the qualifying IRCOT.
Plan members receiving benefits contributed $0.95 million, or approximately 38 percent of the total
premiums. It is the County's policy to base future IRCOT 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 IRCOT 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 IRCOT cost for the
year and two preceding years, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
The contribution made to the IRCOT for the current fiscal year was 107.7% of the annual OPEB cost.
Information is available for the two preceding fiscal years. As of the October 1, 2009 actuarial valuation
date, the IRCOT was 11.37% funded, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $32.5 million, and
the actuarial value of assets was $3.7 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability
(URAL) of $28.8 million. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the
IRCOT) was $70.6 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 40.8%. 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.
The schedule of funding progress and schedule of employer contributions, presented as required
supplementary information following the County notes to the financial statements, presents information
about whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the
actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
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.
The actuarial methods are:
Actuarial cost method
Amortization method
Amortization period (closed)
Asset valuation method
The actuarial assumptions are:
Investment rate of return
Projected annual salaries increase
Healthcare cost trend rate
(post-retirement benefit)
Inflation rate
Entry age normal cost method
Level percent of payroll projected to grow 4% per year
18 years
Market Value

NOTE 17 - FUND BALANCE
The Board elected to early implement the GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Funds Type Definitions. 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
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 formal action of the Board of County
Commissioners, including resolution or ordinance. This category includes contractual obligations
entered into by the Board of County Commissioners.
Assigned — Amounts constrained by the Board's intent 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.
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. This reserve is presented
as committed fund balance in those funds.
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. This reserve is presented as committed fund balance in those funds.
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.

NOTE 17 - FUND BALANCE — Continued
Fund Balance Policy - Continued
The approved fund balance policy dictates the Board's attempt to maintain a minimum unassigned fund
balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20% of budgeted
annual operating expenditures.
The Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the
Board of County Commissioners. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the County
Administrator or his designee.
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.
NOTE 18 - FUND BALANCE DEFICIT
The following funds had a deficit in fund balance at September 30, 2010:
Fund
Nonmajor Governmental Funds:
Deficit
Metropolitan Planning Organization Fund $ 120,199
Federal/State Grants Fund 45,695
Disaster Recovery Grant Fund 33,248
Total Deficit $ 199,142
The deficits for these three funds will be eliminated by grant proceeds in fiscal year 2011.

A. 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:

The Board purchases excess insurance to cover claims in excess of the coverage listed above. There is a
5% deductible per location for property damages arising due to a hurricane under the reinsurance policy.
The Board has not incurred any settlements in excess of the insurance coverage listed above in the past
four fiscal years. 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 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 plan assumes all risk for claims, other than worker's
compensation, up to $250,000 per occurrence. For worker's compensation, the plan assumes all risk for
claims up to $350,000 per occurrence. The Board has purchased a reinsurance policy to cover claims in
excess of these limits. There were no claims in excess of these limits for the 2008, 2009, and 20010
fiscal years.

A. General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical — Continued
The claims liability of $7,899,000 reported at September 30, 2010, 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, $2,351,622 will be liquidated over the next twelve months.
Changes in the fund's claims liability amount during the current and prior three fiscal years are as

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 in 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.
B. Contracts and Other Commitments
The Board has various contracts and commitments outstanding at September 30, 2010. In the General
Fund, contracts are for custodial services and external auditing services. In the Special Revenue Funds,
contracts are for Sector 3 beach restoration, Old Dixie Highway bridge replacement, 43rd Avenue and
66th Avenue roadway expansions as well as a variety of other road paving and drainage projects. In the
Capital Projects Fund, contracts are for the expansion of the 800 Mhz radio system, South County Park
Phase III improvements, 53rd Street roadway improvements, and several sidewalk and road improvement
projects throughout the County. In the Enterprise Funds, contracts are for the North County Reverse
Osmosis Plant raw water transmission system, Spoonbill Marsh Wetlands, Utility software

C. Grants
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.
NOTE 22 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 15, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners elected to change the financial and
administrative support to the Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCHA). As of April 15, 2011
the IRCHA will no longer be included as a component unit in the County's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) going forward. The County has agreed to continue funding the IRCHA for the
remainder of the 2011 fiscal year with the unspent appropriation. For fiscal years ending after
September 30, 2011, the IRCHA will be funded like an outside agency.

We have audited the financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund
financial statements of the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2010 and have issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2011. 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
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 fund 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 intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Independent Auditors' Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance
with a Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That is
Otherwise in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable Jeffrey K. Barton
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida Clerk of the
Circuit Court as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Circuit Court'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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund 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 accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Clerk of the Circuit Court at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for the year then
ended. These statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position of Indian
River County.
In our opinion, the accompanying fund financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Clerk of the Circuit Court as of September 30, 2010 and the results of its
operations for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 11, 2011
on our consideration of the Clerk of the Circuit Court's internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Clerk of the Circuit Court,
Indian River County, the Florida Auditor General, and applicable federal and state agencies, and is not
intennd�e�d� two -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 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 of the Circuit Court does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization
and is not considered to be a component unit. The Clerk of the Circuit Court 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 only. The format of the Clerk of the Circuit Court'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 of the Circuit Court which are not
accounted for in another fund. All general operating revenues, which are not restricted or designated for
use by outside sources, 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 of the Circuit Court'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 of the Circuit Court in
a trustee capacity or as an agent. These funds cannot be used to support the Clerk's own programs.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 of the Circuit Court to prepare his budget in two parts: the budget
relating to the State court system, including recording; 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, including
recording, 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 June 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 Expenses
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 of the Circuit Court 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.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
G. Compensated Absences
The Clerk of the Circuit Court accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for
future absences when certain conditions are met. The Clerk of the Circuit Court 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 of the Circuit Court
financial statements. Additional information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 6.
H. Transfer In
The Clerk budgeted two transfers: one in the amount of $194,310 from the public records modernization
fund to subsidize court technology expenses and one in the amount of $78,783 from the 10% fine fund
to subsidize court operations. At year end, the only transfer needed was $14,086 to fund court
technology expenses.
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. At September 30, 2010, there
were no excess fees due to the Board.
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 $71,692, were submitted to the CCOC through
the Department of Revenue for deposit to the Clerk of Court Trust Fund.
A transfer in the amount of $14,086 was made from the public modernization funds to the non -court
related general fund to cover technology -related expenses.
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 Note on Fund Balance.
Court -related revenues in excess of expenditures at September 30, 2010 were $144,978. Per 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. Therefore, it is presented as fund balance of the General
Fund at September 30, 2010.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2010, the carrying value of the Clerk's deposits was $2,583,431, and the bank balance
was $2,757,185. 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 Clerk's office adopted the Board of County Commissioners' investment policy. This policy requires
the Clerk'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.
B. Investments
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund is a money market fund classified as a "2a7 like fund"
using the SEC investment requirements for 2a7 funds. The fund was established by Florida Statute
218.405 and is administered by the Florida State Board of Administration. At year end, the Clerk had
$30,684 invested in Fund B Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund. At September 30, 2010, the
State Board of Administration (SBA) determined a negative fair market value adjustment of 29.29% of
the portfolio balance, or $8,988, was needed to represent the fair market value of the participation.
Consequently, the net investment in Fund B is reported at $21,696.
The Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund -Florida Trust Day to Day Fund is a money
market product of various securities with an average maturity of 45 days. The fund was established by
Florida Statute 163.01, is administered by the Florida Association of Court Clerks, and is marked to
market daily. The Clerk invested $5,137,410 with the Florida Local Government Investment Trust
Fund.
Both of these State authorized pools are specifically permitted in the Clerk's investment policy and in
Section 218.415 (17), Florida Statutes. 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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; the employer makes all
contributions.

NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN- Continued
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting of benefits after six years of
creditable service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at or after age 62
with six or more years of service. Early retirement is available after six years of service with a five
percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the 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 and there is no "normal retirement 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 based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit where average
compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of earnings. For further
information concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read County -wide
Note 15, Pension Plans.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010, were equal to
9.95%, 10.17%, and 10.62% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010 were $417,836, $432,578, and $375,894 respectively. These
amounts are equal to 100% of the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Clerk of the Circuit Court participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits
Trust (IRCOT). The Clerk's 2010 annual required contribution of $138,092 was funded by: the Board
of County Commissioners in the amount of $21,014; the court -related State expenditures in the amount
of $115,577; and the public modernization trust fund in the amount of $1,501. 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 of the Circuit Court
participated in the County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2010 at an annual cost of
approximately $745,483. Further details of this self-insurance program are discussed in the County -wide

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 Jeffery K. Barton
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial statements of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and issued our report thereon dated
March 11, 2011. 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
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Clerk of the Circuit Court'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 of the Circuit Court's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court'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 by the entity's internal control.
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 of the Circuit Court'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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Independent Auditors' Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance
with a Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That is
Otherwise in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable David C. Nolte
Property Appraiser
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida Property
Appraiser as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund 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 accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Property Appraiser at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for the year then ended.
These statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position of Indian River
County.
In our opinion, the accompanying fund financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Property Appraiser as of September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for
the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 11, 2011
on our consideration of the Property Appraiser's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests
of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
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 speci-/fi-ed parties.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
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
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes 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 general operating
revenues, which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources, 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.

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 $105,033 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 Note on Fund Balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the Property Appraiser's deposits was $131,630 and the
bank balance was $224,305. 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.

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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; all
contributions are made by the employer. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan
(Pension Plan) or the defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting
of benefits after six years of creditable service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees
who retire at or after age 62 with six or more years of service. Early retirement is available after six
years of service with a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the 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 and there is no "normal retirement 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 based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit where average
compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of earnings. For further
information concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County-
wide note on the Florida Retirement System.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010, were equal to
10.33%, 10.42%, and 10.73% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 were $241,429, $220,468, and $224,920 respectively.
These amounts are 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 2010 annual required contribution of $60,040 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 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 2010 at an annual cost of approximately
$312,380.

Of the $84,421 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $20,000 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
A. 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 financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial statements of
the Property Appraiser, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and issued our report thereon dated March
11, 2011. 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
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 by the entity's internal control.
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 Property Appraiser'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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

statements are the responsibility of the Sheriff'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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund 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 accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Sheriff at September 30, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year then ended. These
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position of Indian River County.
In our opinion, the accompanying fund financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Sheriff as of September 30, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year
then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 11, 2011
on our consideration of the Sheriff's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
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.

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 and Account Groups
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of 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 general operating revenues, which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources,
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 as an agent. The
Agency Fund is custodial in nature and does not involve measurement of results of operations.
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.

Year Ended September 30, 2010
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. These "excess fees" totaled $2,207 and are reported as a transfer to
the Board of County Commissioners at year end.
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 Note on Fund Balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the Sheriff's deposits was $3,506,737, and the bank
balance was $4,748,320. 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 Sheriff's office elected not to adopt a formal investment policy and selects the alternative
investment guidelines as provided by Florida Statutes subsection 17, 218.415. 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:

Tangible Personal Property 16,469,157 $2,427,406 $978,275 17,918.288
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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; all contributions are made by the
employer. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting of benefits after six years of
credible service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at or after age 62 with
six or more years of service. For law enforcement and corrections officers, benefits are available at or
after age 55 with six or more years of service. Early retirement is available after six years of service with
a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the 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 and there is no "normal retirement 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 based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit where average
compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of earnings. For further
information concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County-
wide note on the Florida Retirement System.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010 were equal to
17.60%, 17.27%, and 18.29% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 were $4,383,977, $4,221,209, and $4,294,161 respectively.
These amounts are 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 2010 annual required contribution of $1,101,833 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 2010 at an annual cost of approximately $3,549,668.
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, 2010:

will be due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial

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.

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 financial statements of Indian River County, Florida including the fund financial statements of
the Sheriff, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, and issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2011.
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
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 by the entity's internal control.
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 Sheriffs 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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Independent Auditors' Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance
with a Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That is
Otherwise in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable Kay Clem
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida Supervisor
of Elections as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund 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 accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Supervisor of Elections at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for the year then ended.
These statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position of Indian River
County.
In our opinion, the accompanying fund financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Supervisor of Elections as of September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations
for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 11, 2011
on our consideration of the Supervisor of Elections' internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
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 usedbyanyone other than these specified parties.

Indian River County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections
Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
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 Fund
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 general operating
revenues, which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources, 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.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
D. Prepaid Expenses
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. 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.
G. 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 $49,649 and
are reported as transfers out. These transfers are also reflected as due to other governments on the
balance sheet.
H. 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 Note on Fund Balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the Supervisor of Elections' deposits was $75,779, and
the bank balance was $109,909. 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 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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; the
employer makes all contributions. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan
(Pension Plan) or the defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). The FRS provides for vesting of
benefits after six years of creditable service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who
retire at or after age 62 with six or more years of service. Early retirement is available after six years of
service with a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the 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 and there is no "normal retirement 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 based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit where average
compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of earnings. For further
information concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County-
wide note on the Florida Retirement System.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010, were equal to
10.8%, 10.5%, and 11.4% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 were $58,121, $57,066 and $59,170 respectively. These amounts
are equal to 100% of the required contribution for each year.

NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Supervisor of Elections participated in the Indian River County Other Post Employment Benefit
Trust (IRCOT). The Supervisor of Election's 2010 annual required contribution of $12,760 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 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 Supervisor of Elections
participated in the County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2010 at an annual cost of
approximately $58,549.

financial statements of the Supervisor of Elections since it is not payable from available spendable
resources. The liability is 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 Kay Clem
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial statements of
the Supervisor of Elections (the "Supervisor"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and issued our
report thereon dated March 11, 2011. 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
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Supervisor'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 Supervisor's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Supervisor's internal
control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over reporting that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and therefore, there can be no assurance that all deficiencies,
significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses have been identified. However, as described in the accompanying
Schedule of Supervisor of Elections' Findings and Responses, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses.
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. We consider the deficiencies described as 2009-02 and 2009-
03 in the accompanying Schedule of Supervisor of Elections' Findings and Responses to be material weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Supervisor'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 one instance of
noncompliance that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and which was reported to
management of the Supervisor of Elections in a separate letter dated March 11, 2011 in accordance with Section
10.554(1)(i)2, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida..

SCHEDULE OF SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS' FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
FINDING 2009-02
Criteria: Generally accepted accounting principles dictate that an entity adopt and follow significant accounting
policies, including revenue recognition.
Condition: As advance payments under grant agreements were received, the Supervisor recorded these receipts as
revenue when they should have been recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the funds were
expended. The nonoperation of this accounting policy resulted in deferred revenue being understated and revenue
being overstated in the Supervisor's financial system in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. In fiscal year ending
September 30, 2010, the Supervisor adopted procedures that recorded all grant related monies as deferred revenues
and recognized as revenue as the funds were expended. Some of the grant related monies were required matches of
County funds which should not have been deferred. This resulted in the deferred revenue being overstated and
revenue being understated in the Supervisor's financial system in fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. We
consider this condition to be a material weakness.
Cause: Employees assigned the responsibility to account for receipts of grant monies did not have the knowledge
and/or experience to record properly. Management failed to note the error during its review of the financial
statements.
Effect: Incorrect recording of grant funds received resulted in the Supervisor's misstating revenues in its financial
reports to the Board of County Commissioners.
Recommendation: We recommend the Supervisor staff its accounting function with individuals who have the
requisite knowledge or experience to maintain the Supervisor's books i n accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. We also recommend that management be focused on proper revenue recognition in its review
of the financial statements.
Supervisor's Response: See attached Supervisor's response.
FINDING 2009-03
Criteria: Florida Statute 129.202(d) requires the Supervisor of Elections to "... charge all paid bills and payrolls to
the proper budget accounts." In addition, Florida Statute 129.202(e) requires that "All expenses incurred for the
fiscal year for which the budget is made shall be vouchered and charged to the budget for that year."
Condition: The Supervisor approved expenditures that exceeded the approved budget in the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2009. In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, the Supervisor was paid a paycheck on
September 30, 2010 that exceeded her statutorily allowed salary in error. In addition, an accrual of additional pay
was recorded in error. Had these amounts been vouchered against the approved budget for the fiscal year, the error
would have been noted and corrected prior to being discovered during the audit of the financial statements. The
entries were subsequently corrected by reversing the accrual and the Supervisor refunding the excess pay. The
nonoperation of this critical internal control was pervasive throughout the Supervisor's financial system. We
consider this condition to be a material weakness.
354
SCHEDULE OF SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS' FINDINGS AND RESPONSES -Continued
FINDING 2009-03 - Continued
Cause: The Supervisor did not review expenditures against the approved budget.
Effect: Failure to properly review expenditures against the approved budget has resulted in the Supervisor
approving expenditures that exceeded the budget, resulting in the Supervisor not complying with Florida Statutes.
Recommendation: We recommend that the Supervisor perform monthly reviews of its financial activities against
the approved budget. We also recommend that the Supervisor refer to the approved budget when approving
expenditures.
Supervisor's Response: See attached Supervisor's response.

Dear Mr. Harris:
I have reviewed the deficiencies from the prior Supervisor of Elections and have met with our accounting
coordinator and the auditor from Harris, Cotherman, Jones, and Price to implement procedures to rectify
the management findings.
Please find below our response to the management findings for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2010.
Finding 2009-02
The Supervisor of Elections has been receiving Federal grant monies for several years. We have been
recording grant monies received each year as deferred grant revenue. Since the previous year's finding
our new accounting coordinator has put procedures in place to properly record deferred grant revenue
received and expended. Although the County matching funds miscoded, all expenditures out of the grant
revenue accounts were for proper and correct expenses.
The Supervisor of Election's accountant has reviewed our financial statements with the auditors from
Harris, Cotherman, Jones, Price and Associates to insure that the County match grant accounts have been
properly recorded. Our accountant has implemented the proper County match revenue recognition;
therefore, future transfers of grant County matching funds will be properly recorded on our financial
statements thus preventing further misstatements of revenue.

Mr. Harris
March 11, 2011
Finding 2009-03
Mrs. Clem first took office fourteen years ago. Our retention records only go back ten years. We were not
able to confirm but believe that over the period she was in office, Mrs. Clems pay was forced into the
same pay period schedule as regular salaried employees. Constitutional salaries are not to be accrued, thus
Mrs. Clem's pay period moved forward thru the years, so that although she never received more than
one pay check in a two week pay period, the period covered by that paycheck moved forward until, by
October 1, 2009, paychecks to the Mrs. Clem represented salaries paid in advance, not arrears.
As Supervisor of Elections, I have implemented a new procedure to monitor the fiscal budget. The
Supervisor of Elections and the accountant will review budget versus actual expenditure reports on a
monthly basis. The Supervisor of Elections will sign off on each monthly review report to ensure quality
control. The Supervisor of Elections will continue to monitor expenditures as they relate to the approved
budget to make certain that revenues and expenditures are properly recorded.
We would like to thank your staff for their professional assistance during this audit
Sincerely,
Leslie R. Swan

Management Letter
The Honorable Kay Clem
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial
statements of the Supervisor of Elections, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and have
issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2011.
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. We have issued our 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 dated March 11, 2011, which
should be considered in conjunction with this management letter.
Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General,
which govern the conduct of local governmental entity audits performed in the State of Florida. This letter
includes the following information which is not included in the aforementioned auditors' report or
schedule:
Section 10.554(1)(i)l., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether or not corrective
actions have been taken to address significant findings and recommendations made in the preceding
annual financial audit report. The status of significant findings and recommendations and corrective
actions taken to address those findings are discussed in the Schedule of Findings and Responses attached
to the Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Section 10.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires our audit to include a review of the
provisions of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds. In connection
with our audit, we determined that the Supervisor of Elections, Indian River County, Florida, did not
comply with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes in that accounts used to hold public funds during the year
ending September 30, 2010 were not designated as qualified public depositories. Upon discovery of this
fact, the Supervisor rectified the matter by having the accounts designated as governmental accounts and
included in the bank's list of qualified public depositories.
Section 10.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address in the management letter
any recommendations to improve financial management. In connection with our audit, we did not have
any such recommendations.
Section 10.554(1)(i)4., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address violations of provisions of
contracts or grant agreements, or abuse that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred, that have an
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts that is less than material, but more than
inconsequential. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.

Section 10.554(1)(i)5., Rules of the Auditor General, provides that the auditor may, based on professional
judgment, report the following matters that have an inconsequential effect on financial statements,
considering both quantitative and qualitative factors: (1) violations of provisions of contracts or grant
agreements, or fraud, illegal acts, or abuse and, (2) deficiencies in internal control that are not significant
deficiencies. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.
Section 10.554(1)(i)6., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that the name or official title and legal
authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed in this
management letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. This information is disclosed

Independent Auditors' Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance
with a Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That is
Otherwise in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable Carole Jean Jordan
Tax Collector
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida Tax
Collector as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Tax Collector'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 fund financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the presentation of the fund 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 accompanying fund financial statements present the financial position of only
the Tax Collector at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations for the year then ended. These
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position of Indian River County.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 11, 2011
on our consideration of the Tax Collector's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
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

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 general operating revenues,
which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources, 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Tax Collector to prepare an annual budget that clearly reflects the revenues
available to her 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 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 Expenses
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. 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.
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. These "excess fees" are reported as
transfers out and a liability and were $3,188,553 at year-end.

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 Note on Fund Balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the Tax Collector's deposits was $7,143,714 and the
bank balance was $7,171,248. 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.
B. Investments
The Tax Collector modified their investment and deposit policy in November of 2009. 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.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS - Continued
B. Investments - Continued
The Tax Collector participated in a capital lease program in which funds are deposited into an escrow
account and drawn upon as equipment is purchased. At September 30, 2010, $3,064 of unspent capital
lease proceeds remained in the escrow account.
Concentration Risk
The Tax Collector's 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 25%
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
("LGIP" and "Fund B").
The LGIP has adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 like fund. The
Tax Collector's investment in the LGIP 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, 2010, the LGIP held a rating of
AAAm by Standard and Poor's and had a weighted average days to maturity of 52 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 LGIP, 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, 2010.

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 LGIP and Fund B. At September 30, 2010, the State Board of
Administration (SBA) determined a negative fair market value adjustment of 29.29% of the portfolio
balance, or ($37,781), was needed to represent the fair market value of the participation. Consequently,
the net investment in Fund B is reported at $91,189.
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.
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 LGIP which was held by the
State of Florida.
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. The FRS is noncontributory for all members; all contributions are
made by the employer. Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or
the defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). The Pension Plan provides for vesting of benefits after
six years of creditable service. Normal retirement benefits are available to employees who retire at or
after age 62 with six or more years of service. Early retirement is available after six years of service with
a five percent reduction in benefits for each year prior to the 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 and there is no "normal retirement 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 based on age, average compensation, and years -of -service credit where average
compensation is computed as the average of an individual's five highest years of earnings. For further
information concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County-
wide note on the Florida Retirement System.
Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, 2009, and 2010, were equal to
10.53%, 10.69%, and 11.44% of the annual covered payroll. Contributions to the FRS for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 were $180,527, $173,154, $179,908 respectively. These
amounts are 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 2010 annual required contribution of $60,040 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.
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 Tax Collector participated in the
County's self-insurance program during fiscal year 2010 at an annual cost of approximately $257,452.
Further details of this self-insurance program are discussed in the risk management note in the County-
wide financial statements.

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 financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial statements of
the Tax Collector, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and issued our report thereon dated March 11,
2011. 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
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 by the entity's internal control.
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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

We have audited the financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, including the fund financial
statements of the Tax Collector, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010 and have issued our
report thereon dated March 11, 2011.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of

should be considered in conjunction with this management letter.
Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General,
which govern the conduct of local governmental entity audits performed in the State of Florida. This
letter includes the following information which is not included in the aforementioned auditors' report or
schedule:
Section 10.554(1)(i)1., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether or not corrective
actions have been taken to address significant findings and recommendations made in the preceding
annual financial audit report. There were no recommendations made in the preceding audit report.
Section 10.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires our audit to include a review of the
provisions of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds. In connection

Section 218.415, Florida Statutes.
Section 10.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address in the management letter
any recommendations to improve financial management. In connection with our audit, we did not have
any such recommendations.
Section 10.554(1)(i)4., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address violations of provisions of
