To the Citizens of Indian River County:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Indian River County, Florida for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2014, is respectfully submitted. State law requires that every general-purpose
government publish a complete set of audited financial statements within nine months of the close of
each fiscal year. This report was prepared by the Finance Department under the supervision of the Clerk
of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Finance
Department and is contingent upon the internal control established for this purpose.
The County has established a comprehensive internal control framework designed to ensure that the
assets of the County are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to certify that the financial records and
data used for preparing the financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental entities. The internal control system is designed to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The idea of reasonable
assurance recognizes two aspects: 1) the cost of internal control should not exceed the anticipated
benefits; and 2) the valuation of the costs and benefits require estimates and judgment by management.
All internal control evaluations take place within this framework. We believe the County's internal
controls adequately safeguard its assets and provide reasonable assurance of properly recorded financial
transactions.
Section 218.39, Florida Statutes, requires an annual audit of local governments. The unqualified opinion
of the auditors (Rebmann Robson, Certified Public Accountants) on the County's financial statements
for the year ended September 30, 2014 has been included in this report. The independent auditors'
report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. The audit was also designed to meet
the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, the Florida Single Audit Act, the Federal Single
Audit Act of 1984, the Federal Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, and revised OMB Circular A-
133.
Readers of this report are encouraged to read Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which
provides basic financial information about the County and an overview of the County's activities. The
MD&A immediately follows the independent auditors' report.
i
Profile of Indian River County
Indian River County, established on June 29, 1925 by an act of the Florida Legislature, is located on the
central Atlantic coast of Florida, approximately 100 miles southeast of Orlando and 135 miles north of
Miami. The County is bordered by Brevard County to the north, St. Lucie County to the south, and
Osceola and Okeechobee Counties on the west. There are approximately 100 miles of waterfront land in
the County, including 23 miles of Atlantic beaches.
The City of Vero Beach is the seat of County government. Indian River County is a non -charter county
established under the Constitution and the Laws of the State of Florida. It is governed by a five member
Board of County Commissioners (Board) elected at large from the five districts within the County. A
County Administrator is appointed by the Board and is responsible for implementing the policies set
forth by the Board. The Administrator is charged with the fiscal control of the resources of the County
as well. In addition to the Board, there are five elected Constitutional Officers serving specific
governmental functions: Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff,
Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector. Although the funding for all Constitutional Offices is part of
the County's General Fund, the Board does not have direct responsibility for their operations. Each
office is run separately within each of its respective legal guidelines.
Indian River County provides a full range of services including, but not limited to: construction and
maintenance of roadways, sidewalks and other infrastructure, fire rescue/emergency services, law
enforcement, library services, traffic operations and control, parks and recreational services, human
services, building inspections, licenses and permits, water/sewer utility services, and refuse collection
and disposal.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller (Clerk), Sheriff, and Supervisor of Elections submit
proposed operating budgets to the Board prior to May 1. The Florida Department of Revenue receives
budgets from the Property Appraiser prior to June 1 and from the Tax Collector prior to August 1. Once
these budgets are approved, they are forwarded to the Board. The court -related function of the Clerk
submits a budget to the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) prior to June 1. These
operating budgets include proposed expenditures and the sources to finance them as set forth in Section
28.36, Florida Statutes.
Constitutional Officers, all departments controlled by the Board of County Commissioners, and outside
State and local agencies submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for
assistance, review and compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all the budgets of the
County departments, state agencies and nonprofit organizations, and makes his budget recommendations
to the Board of County Commissioners on or before July 15 of each year.
During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, in order for
the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing, the
Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt (at the fund level) the budgets for all governmental fund types.
The budgets legally adopted by the Board set forth the anticipated revenues by source and the
appropriations by function. Budgets for Enterprise and Internal Service funds are adopted on a basis
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is authorized to transfer
budgeted amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as the total appropriations of a
fund are not exceeded. Board approval to amend the budget is required when unanticipated revenues are
received that management wishes to have appropriated, thereby increasing the total appropriations of a
fund. Appropriations for the County lapse at the close of the fiscal year.
ii
This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes the funds of the primary government
(the Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the Property
Appraiser, the Sheriff, the Supervisor of Elections and the Tax Collector), and the blended component
units consisting of the Emergency Services District and the Solid Waste Disposal District.
These component units were included because generally accepted accounting principles require that
organizations which are fiscally dependent on the County and that financially benefit from the
relationship with the County be reported with the primary government (the County) as the reporting
entity. This CAFR does not include the Indian River County School District, the Indian River County
Mosquito Control District or the Indian River Medical Center.
Local Economy
Indian River County's population of 140,955 was a 1.0% increase over the previous year. While the
population of the County has been steadily increasing, so has the median age of residents living here.
Nationally, average ages have risen due to the increasing age of the baby boomer generation as well as
the increase in life expectancy for all Americans. In addition, Florida continues to be a popular
destination for retirees. According to the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business
Research, persons aged 45-64 now make up the largest percentage of residents in the County, followed
by persons aged 65+, 18-44, 0-17 respectively. The median age of Indian River County is 49.1 which is
20.6% above the State median age of 40.7 and 32.3% above the national median age of 37.1.
Historically, Indian River County's economy was made up of agriculture (citrus and cattle) and tourism.
Those industries have been now been complimented with an increase in health care and information
technology firms, light manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade and service sector jobs. The top three
major employers in Indian River County, providing 9% of total County employees, are the School
District, Indian River County Government and Indian River Medical Center. The unemployment rate
decreased from 8.8% in 2013 to 7.9% in 2014.
Piper Aircraft, Inc., whose headquarters for aircraft research, development and manufacturing operations
are located in Vero Beach, is the largest manufacturing employer in the area. CVS Pharmacy operates a
distribution center which provides the distribution of products to all CVS locations in the southern half
of Florida. INEOS New Planet BioEnergy opened a state of the art center in Indian River County. The
facility converts low-cost organic materials such as household and vegetative waste into bioethanol for
use as a renewable road transport fuel (ethanol) while generating renewable power for export to the local
electricity grid. This new technology will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and energy
generation in addition to reducing the amount of waste going into our landfills. The Atlantic beaches
and the Indian River, along with the comfortable climate, provide the basis for a year-round tourism
industry. Residents can enjoy these resources at any of the County parks, the Sebastian Inlet State Park
or the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Indian River County is beginning to experience signs of improvement in the economy. Total property
tax values increased slightly from $12.7 billion in 2013 to $12.8 billion in 2014. Construction activity
saw a significant increase with 23% more building permits issued for additions and alterations in 2014
over 2013. Please see Statistical Schedules 6 and 17 for more information.
Although Indian River County is a major producer of citrus with approximately 32,820 acres dedicated
to citrus production, production has decreased by 5.1% from 8.2 million boxes in 2013 to 7.8 million in
2014.
iii
Long Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
Chapter 163 Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code Rule 9J-5 requires each local government
to have a Comprehensive Land Use Plan. An important part of this plan is the Capital Improvements
Program (CIP) which evaluates the need for public facilities in support of the Future Land Use Element,
to estimate the costs of improvements for which local government has fiscal responsibility, to analyze
the fiscal capacity of the local government to finance and construct improvements, and to adopt financial
policies to guide the funding and construction of the improvements. The CIP is updated annually and
encompasses a period of five years. Listed below are six major capital projects included in the current
CIP along with the source of funding and capital costs:
• Fire/EMS Station 13 - Construction of an additional station is necessary to serve the expanding
south county population. The Emergency Services District reserves will provide $1.7 million
with the remaining $850,000 being funded by impact fees. The operating expense will be
approximately $2.1 million.
• Osprey Marsh - The County is constructing the second algal turf scrubber (ATS) system called
the "Osprey Marsh" for the south relief canal. The ATS will remove dissolved nitrogen and
phosphorous from the water and return the treated water back to the Indian River lagoon where it
will enhance water quality and thereby support the resurgence of sea grasses in the lagoon. This
project is a collaborative effort between the Utilities Department and the Stormwater Division. It
is being funded through a combination of capacity charges, one cent sales tax and grants at an
estimated cost of $8.6 million.
• South County Park — Phase III Improvements - The expansion of this park is necessary to
provide recreation facilities and programs to the growing population in the southern part of the
County. A multi-purpose intergenerational facility will be constructed at a cost of $6.9 million
with impact fees and one cent sales tax providing the funding. Ad valorem tax proceeds and user
fees as well as partnering agency contributions will fund increased operating costs which are
estimated to be about $118,000 per year.
• 66th Avenue Widening — The widening of 66th Avenue from State Road 60 in Vero Beach to
49th Street is currently underway. This is one of the few main arterials connecting the north and
south county areas and traffic has increased substantially on this road. Construction costs are
over $20 million. Funding is from traffic impact fees, gas taxes and grants. In the future, the
County plans to expand 66th Avenue from 49th Street to the Sebastian City limits.
• CR 510 - 70th Avenue to Indian River — This roadway is scheduled for widening at an estimated
cost of $7.1 million for right of way and $21 million for construction. Traffic impact fees,
optional sales tax and gas taxes will provide the funding.
• Segment II Landfill Closure - Segment II of the landfill will reach capacity in FY 14-15. The
County has been accruing the cash on an annual basis to cover the estimated $4.5 million closure
costs. State and Federal regulations required that the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD)
provide funding for the closure and long-term maintenance costs of each segment of the landfill
as capacity is used. The SWDD user fees provide the funding source. Operating costs for the
new cell should remain about the same as for the current segment.
iv
Relevant Financial Policies
In accordance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, the County adopted an investment policy, which
guides the investment of County surplus funds. This policy establishes investment objectives, maturity
and liquidity requirements, portfolio composition, risk and diversification requirements, and authorized
investments. The primary objectives of investment activities are to preserve capital and maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs.
The secondary objective is to obtain competitive returns on the investment of County surplus funds.
During fiscal year 2014, County investments had yields ranging from 0.05% to 0.70%. The overall
annual yield of the portfolio as of September 30, 2014 was 0.30%.
On September 23, 2008, the County established the OPEB (Other Post -Employment Benefits) Trust. An
OPEB investment policy was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on February 3, 2009 and
revised on April 6, 2010. The objective was to establish an advisory committee and to provide short-
term and long-term investment guidelines. This policy also outlines the same criteria as noted in the
County's investment policy, as well as including performance measures. The change in net position for
the OPEB Trust for the fiscal year was $2.5 million. In addition, interest, dividend and mark -to -market
adjustments resulted in net investment income of $764,319. The OPEB Trust annual yield was 5.92%.
During FY 2014, the County approved a $630,000 interfund loan from the general fund to the golf
course fund for construction of a new irrigation system. This mechanism will provide funds at a
relatively low interest rate for the golf course (1.0%) as well as provide increased interest earnings for
the general fund.
The County's goal is to maintain an overall fund balance equal to 30% of the annual budget in all of its
taxing funds, which provides a three month cushion for operating expenses. The three month reserve is
necessary due to the timing of property tax levies in the State of Florida. Although the fiscal year begins
in October, property tax monies are not typically received until mid to late December, which would
require the County to operate in a deficit position for the first two months of the fiscal year without this
reserve. Reserve funds are needed in order to allow the County to respond to events without facing
serious financial burdens. County policy is to maintain fund balance levels and prohibit the use of fund
balance to fund recurring expenses. Information 6n the County's fund balance policy can be found in
County Note 19.
In September 2014, Fitch Rating Service affirmed three ratings on Indian River County:
• "AA+" on Spring Training Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2001
• "A-" on Limited General Obligation Bonds, Series 2006
• "AAA" on implied unlimited tax general obligation
In summary, Indian River County completed the year financially strong and well positioned. In a time
of a strained world-wide economy and low investment returns, the County stood committed to manage
funds and services for its citizens.
v
Awards and Acknowledzements
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, 2013. This was
the 31st consecutive year that the County has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In addition, Indian River County also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
for its annual budget document for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. This was the 23rd consecutive year that
the County has received this prestigious award. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award, the County's budget document had to be judged proficient as a policy document,
financial plan, operations guide, and communications device.
I would like to thank the entire staff of the Finance Department for their invaluable assistance in the
preparation of this report. I would also like to thank the Board of County Commissioners and their staff,
and the other Constitutional Officers for their personal interest and support in planning and conducting
the financial operations of the County in a responsible and progressive manner. Finally, thanks to the
citizens for the trust you continue to place in your County and those who work to serve you.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
1 March 4, 2015
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
and Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
!' type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Indian River
County, Florida (the "County"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements
as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
1 or error.
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the County's
' preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the County's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, 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, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof,
and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund and each major special revenue fund,
for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Restatement of Beginning Net Position of Governmental Activities
As described in Note 21B to the financial statements, the beginning net position of the governmental
activities was restated (i.e., decreased) by $15,488,462 to record accumulated depreciation not
previously reported on capital assets. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis and the pension and postemployment benefit information as
listed in the table of content be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules, and introductory and statistical sections are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 4,
2015, on our consideration of Indian River County, Florida's internal control over financial reporting
and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the County's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
We offer readers of the County's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of the County for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here, in conjunction with additional information that we have
furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i -vi of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The County's overall financial position improved over 2013.
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the County exceeded its liabilities by $1,003.9
million (net position). Of this amount, $161.3 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to
meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The government's total net position increased by $11.7 million. Governmental activities
accounted for $11.9 million of this increase while business -type activities accounted for a $0.2
million decrease. Further information can found on page 8.
• Governmental activities expenses reflected a 2.6% decrease ($151.6 million in 2013 to $147.6
million in 2014) and business -type activities expenses reflected a 5.6% increase ($48.3 million in
2013 to $51.0 million in 2014). Further information can found on page 10.
• Unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $48.3 million, or an 8.8% increase from the
prior year general fund unassigned balance of $44.4 million. Contributing to this increase was
that in fiscal year 2014, the County no longer appropriated existing fund balance to balance the
budget. In addition, there was a reclassification of committed fund balance for economic
incentives to unassigned for local jobs grant funds that expired.
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 Position presents information on all of the County's assets, liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the County
is improving or deteriorating.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected grant revenue and earned, but unused, vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the County include general
government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, human
services, culture and recreation, and court related functions. The major business -type activities include a
water and sewer utility, a solid waste disposal district, a golf course, and a building department.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the Board of County Commissioners (BCC),
but also the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of
Elections and Tax Collector. The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 21 and
23 of this report.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The County, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of
the funds of the County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financial
decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to 'facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The County maintains 35 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund Balance Sheet and in the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances for the general fund, four special revenue funds, and one capital project
fund. All are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 29 governmental funds are combined
into a single, aggregated presentation.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
• For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
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 103-153 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 24-35 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 fleet management, self-insurance, and information technology.
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 37-43 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. The Indian River County OPEB Trust holds the assets of the County's other
postemployment benefits. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the County's own programs. The
accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary
fund financial statements can be found on pages 44-45 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 47-100 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 101 of this report.

The capital assets and net investment in capital assets for governmental activities for 2013 have been
reduced by $15.5 million to reflect the adjustment to beginning net position for accumulated
depreciation not previously reported on some County assets. See Note 21B for further information on
this restatement.
Overall, the County's net position increased $11.7 million or 1%. Governmental activities net position
increased by $11.9 million and business -type activities decreased by $0.2 million.
Governmental Activities
In governmental activities, the increase in unrestricted net position was due to the reduction of economic
incentives and appropriation of fund balance from the prior year. The increase in net investment in
capital assets and decrease in restricted net position was a result of road construction, recreational, and
public safety projects.
Business -type Activities
In business -type activities, the increase in unrestricted net position and decrease in restricted net position
was due to the reclassification of water and sewer capital projects funds previously reported as
restricted. The decrease in net investment in capital assets was due to depreciation expense.

By far, the largest portion of the County's net position (72% or $726.4 million) reflects its investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, intangibles, machinery, and equipment), less any
related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The County uses these capital assets to provide
services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
County's investment in its capital assets is reported as net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
A portion of the County's net position (12% or $116.2 million) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the unrestricted net position
($161.3 million) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

• Overall program revenues increased $0.9 million.
1) Charges for services increase of $4.8 million or 26% was offset by a $4.7 million or 17%
decrease in operating grants and contributions. In fiscal year 2014, $2.3 million in court
revenues distributed to the Clerk were reported as charges for services but had been reported
as operating grants and contributions in prior fiscal years.
2) The remaining $2.5 million increase in charges for services was mainly the result of: a)
ambulance services revenues recorded as a receivable based on generally accepted
accounting principles guidance ($1.0 million) and b) an increase in impact fee collections
($1.1 million).
3) Capital grants and contributions increased $0.8 million due to the reimbursement from

• The governmental activities expenses were $4.0 million lower in 2014 than in 2013. Major
decreases included: $2.7 million in transportation expenses mainly due to the completion of road
projects such as 53rd Street and the 66th Avenue road construction project, $2.8 million in
culture and recreation due to the prior year write off of a portion of a beach restoration project
due to its asset impairment caused by Hurricane Sandy, and $1.4 million in economic
environment expenses related to the Neighborhood Stabilization grant programs. These
decreases were offset by a $2.4 million increase in general government expenses mainly due to
increased commissions to the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector related to the tax roll ($1.1
million) and an increase in the overall allocated internal service funds loss ($0.5 million). Budget
reductions resulted in an overall net decrease of $0.5 million in public safety, physical
environment, human services, court related, and interest expenses.
Business -type Activities
Business -type activities net position decreased by $0.2 million. Key elements of this decrease are as
follows:
• Overall expenses were $2.7 million or 6% higher in 2014 than in 2013. The water and sewer
utilities expenses were $2.0 million or 3% higher in 2014 than in 2013 due an increase in
renewal and replacement costs. The solid waste expenses were $0.4 million or 4% higher in 2014
than in 2013 due to increased engineering and depreciation costs. The golf course had $0.1
million or 4% higher expenses in 2014 than in 2013 due to maintenance projects completed
during the fiscal year. The building department had $0.2 million or 13% higher expenses in 2014
than in 2013 due to staffing increases.

® Overall program revenues increased $2.0 million.
1) Charges for services increased by $1.7 million or 4%. A gradual improvement in the local
economy has attributed to the following increases over 2013 revenues: water and sewer
charges increased by $1.0 million or 3%, solid waste revenues increased $0.3 million or 3%,
and the building revenues increased by $0.4 million or 20%.
2) Capital grants and contributions were $0.3 million higher in 2014 than in 2013, an overall
increase of 6% due to water and sewer developer contributions.
• Interest earnings decreased by $0.2 million or 28% from the preceding year due to lower interest
rates.
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 28% of this total amount ($48.1 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 ($1.1 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
($113.3 million), 3) a committed category for constraints imposed by approval of ordinances and
contracts by Board of County Commissioners ($2.7 million), and 4) an assigned category for constraints
by the County's intent to use for specific purposes ($8.2 million).
The two largest restricted amounts are in the Impact Fees Fund with a $15.1 million restricted fund
balance and the Optional Sales Tax Fund with a $54.0 million restricted fund balance. Fifty-eight
percent of the Impact Fees Fund ($8.7 million) and thirty-eight percent ($20.5 million) of the Optional
Sales Tax Fund is slated for major road expansions throughout the County.
The County's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $173.4 million, which is an
increase of $0.8 million over the prior year of $172.6 million. Contributing factors to the $0.8 million
increase in fund balance are:
a Fund balance in the General Fund increased by $1.8 million. This increase was mainly due to the
increased property taxes and reduced transfers due to the payoff of a portion of the Spring
Training Bonds in the prior year.
13
Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
• In the Impact Fees Fund, fund balance decreased $1.9 million. This was largely due to the $4.3
million in transportation spending for major road construction and right-of-way purchases.
• Fund balance in the Optional Sales Tax Fund increased by $1.6 million due to capital
transportation grant reimbursements.
• Near completion of the CDBG Neighborhood Stabilization Program (nonmajor fund) resulted in
a $1.0 million decrease in expenditures.
Proprietary funds
Unrestricted net position at the end of the year amounted to $12.9 million in the Solid Waste Disposal
District (SWDD) Fund, ($1.8) million in the Golf Course Fund, $5.2 million in the County Building
Fund, and $72.2 million in the County Utilities Fund. Other factors concerning the finances of these
funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the County's business -type activities.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During the year there was a $6.8 million increase in operating appropriations between the original and
final amended budget. The main components of the increase are as follows:
• $3.2 million grants appropriations and prior year rollovers for the Senior Resource Association
(SRA) to provide County -wide public transportation.
• $0.8 million public safety vehicles and $0.3 million various operating accounts
• $0.4 million in various legal and consulting fees
• $0.2 million in local jobs grants and economic development studies
• $0.6 million renovations and computers at the three libraries, various parks, the shooting range
and the fairgrounds
• $0.3 million cost of living increases
Actual revenues were $4.5 million higher than the final budget for the following reasons:
• $1.0 million refund of prior period expenses
• $1.0 million increase in water sewer, electric, gas, and solid waste franchise fees
• $1.7 million additional funds received for SRA public transportation
• $0.5 million additional sales taxes and state revenue sharing
Actual expenditures were $2.7 million lower than anticipated for the following reasons:
• $0.5 million lower than expected Department of Juvenile Justice and Medicaid expenses

Governmental activities had the following major increases during the fiscal year:
• An increase in construction in progress primarily due to the following continuing project costs:
Osprey Marsh ($2.3 million), the 66th Avenue road expansion project from SR60 to 49th Street
($9.9 million), the 12th Street/ 27th Avenue intersection project ($1.5 million), and the Oslo Road
expansion project from 43rd Avenue to 58th Avenue ($1.5 million).
The decrease in land was due to the transfer of assets previously reported in the land category to the
buildings and improvements category.

Indian River County, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The County tax roll is increasing by approximately 4.5% from last year. This follows a slight increase
last year, after several years of decline in the wake of the "Great Recession". During this time period,
many County revenues declined such as: sales taxes, gas taxes, interest earnings, and user fees.
Additionally, ad valorem revenues were cut by over $33 million due to a 31% decline in the taxroll.
Based upon Board direction, millage rates were essentially flat in an effort to reduce the tax burden on
taxpayers already struggling through a difficult economy.
In order to achieve the necessary cuts in expenditures, all efforts were made to improve the efficiency of
the organization. The County explored and enacted privatizations, re -negotiated existing contracts, paid
down debt, and reduced staffing levels by about 27%. These measures resulted in a leaner, more
efficient organization that is better prepared to provide services to the public at a reduced cost going
forward.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, however, some temporary measures were needed to
maintain the lower tax levies, such as the moderate use of fund balance and delayed replacement of
capital items. As discussed in last year's budget message, the County began a two-year phase-out of
fund balance usage. This plan will be completed in the proposed budget, which is fully balanced
without the planned usage of fund balance in any taxing funds. The FY 2014/2015 budget also includes
a substantial increase in funding for replacement capital items such as vehicles and heavy equipment.
During the last few years, capital replacement was delayed wherever feasible. At this time, staff
recommends that the County return to a sustainable replacement schedule for necessary capital
equipment to provide essential services. These two proposals ensure that the County is adopting a
structurally blended budget that will help maintain the long-term financial health of the County.
The increase in the tax roll for the next year provides approximately $3.3 million in additional revenues.
These funds have allowed for increased capital replacement funding and ending the use of fund balance
as mentioned above. Staff recommends funding these changes prior to committing to additional
operating expenditures.
The total proposed budget for FY 2014/2015 is $260,379,973, a decrease of $42,838,568 or 14.1% from
the prior year. This represents a drop of 44.9% from the approved FY 2006/2007 amount of
$472,420,328.
The General Fund millage rate is increasing slightly primarily due to a funding increase for the Sheriff
and the phase-out of fund balance usage. The M.S.T.0 Fund and Emergency Services District millage
rates remain the same as the current year and the Land Acquisition Fund millage is decreasing slightly.
After accounting for the ad valorem increases proposed, the County's total ad valorem taxes are still
down about $24 million since FY 2006/2007 (from $103.3 million to $79.5 million).
The single greatest individual expense in the budget is Personnel Services. In total, eight (8) additional
full-time (FT) positions are proposed for FY 14/15. BCC departments are increasing by seven (7) full-
time positions, while Constitutional Officers show a net increase of one (1) position. This results in an
additional cost of $369,130 (BCC only). Many of these positions are being added to keep pace with
increasing development. Four (4) out of the seven (7) BCC positions are in non -taxing funds.

Indian River County, Florida
Reconciliation of Total Governmental Fund Balances
to Net Position of Governmental Activities
September 30, 2014
Total governmental fund balances: $ 173,415,560
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported 548,719,042
in the fund.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable ($34,339,265), accrued compensated absences ($10,523,367),
medicaid settlement funds payable ($474,260) and accrued pollution remediation costs ($2,671,800)
are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the fund. (48,008,692)
Accrued general long-term debt interest expenses are not financial uses and, therefore, are not reported in (301,178)
the fund.
Special assessment, ambulance services, and state and federal grant receivables are not available to pay for
current period expenditures and, therefore, are reported as unavailable revenue in the funds. 3,124,809
Accrued interest is not recognized in the current period because the resources are not available
and, therefore, not reported in the fund. 48,675
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance,
fleet, and information technology services, to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the
internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position. 26,048,127

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, 2014
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
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 27,952,771
Less current year loss on assets (45,603)
Less current year depreciation (19,715,820)
$ 854,114
8,191,348
Payments of bond principal, pollution remediation, and medicaid settlement costs are
expenditures in the governmental funds, but the payment reduces long-term liabilities
in the statement of net position.
Bond principal payment 3,700,000
Bond premium payment 93,224
Medicaid settlement 158,082
Pollution remediation costs 55,600 4,006,906
Changes in accrued compensated absences do not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 727,555
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
Accrued OPEB expense
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
information technology 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.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2014
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 140,955. The County is governed by the Board of County
Commissioners and five elected constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller,
Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections, and Tax Collector) in accordance with state
statutes and regulations. The constitutional officers maintain separate accounting records and budgets
from the Board of County Commissioners. The Constitution of the State of Florida, Article VIII,
Section 1(d) created the constitutional officers and Article VIII, Section 1(e), created the Board of
County Commissioners.
The financial statements of the County have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial
reporting. The County applies all GASB Pronouncements in the preparation of the financial statements
of the enterprise funds as well as all FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. The GASB periodically
updates its codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes
GAAP for governmental units:
A. Reporting Entity
The concept underlying the definition of the reporting entity is that elected officials are accountable to
their constituents for their actions. The reporting entity's financial statements should allow users to
distinguish between the primary government (the County) and its component units. However, some
component units, because of the closeness of their relationships with the County, should be blended as
though they are part of the County. Otherwise, most component units should be discretely presented.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial reporting entity consists of: (1)
the primary government (the County), (2) organizations for which the County is financially
accountable, and (3) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with
the County are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete. The County is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization's governing body and (a) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (b) there is a
potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial
burdens on, the County.
The County may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the County
regardless of whether the organization has (a) a separately elected governing board, (b) a governing
board appointed by a higher level of government, or. (c) a jointly appointed board. Based on these
criteria, management determined that the Solid Waste Disposal District and the Emergency Services
District were the only organizations that should be included in the County's financial statements as
blended component units.

Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 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 governing body for and has operational responsibility over the
SWDD. The Board also 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 governing body for and has operational responsibility over the
EMS. The Board also sets the millage rate for the EMS. Although legally separate, the EMS is
appropriately blended as a governmental fund type (special revenue) component unit into the primary
government.
B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The basic financial statements of the County are composed of the following:
• Government -wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
e Notes to the financial statements
1. Government -wide Financial Statements
Government -wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole,
except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and
business -type activities of the primary government (including its blended component units).
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are
reported separately from business -type activities, which rely, to a significant extent, on fees and charges
for support.
Government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange -like transactions are recognized when the
exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from
nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 33 —
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions.
Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and payments made by parties
outside of the reporting government's citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program.
Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net
expense of each program.

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

Governmental Funds - Continued
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets, deferred outflows of
resources, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on the balance
sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources".
Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Non-current portions of special assessments due to governmental funds are reported on their balance
sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. Non-current portions of notes receivable and
advances to other funds are offset by fund balance reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect fund balances, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The issuance of long-term debt is recorded as an other financing
source rather than as a fund liability. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary Funds
The County' s enterprise funds and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial
statements, proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are
delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic
resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and
I deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included
on their balance sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in total net position.
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 (for example, interest income). 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 funds financial statements include financial information for the agency fund and the other
postemployment benefit trust fund. The agency fund of the County primarily represents assets held by
the County in a custodial capacity for other individuals or governments. The other postemployment
benefits trust fund (Trust) accounts for activities of the Trust, which accumulates resources for health
insurance benefit payments for current retirees and for current employees upon their retirement. The
agency and Trust fund statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.

Basis of Presentation
GASB Statement 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets, liabilities, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category and the
governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The County has used
GASB 34 minimum criteria for major fund determination and has also electively disclosed funds that
either had debt outstanding or specific community focus as major funds. The nonmajor funds are
combined in a column in the fund financial statements and detailed in the combining section.
1. Governmental Major Funds
General Fund — The General Fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for
all financial resources, except those accounted for and reported in another fund.

4. Non-current Governmental Assets/Liabilities
GASB Statement 34 requires non-current governmental assets, such as land and buildings, and non-
current governmental liabilities, such as general obligation bonds and capital leases, be reported in the
governmental activities column in the government -wide Statement of Net Position.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Fund
Balances
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased. The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use
by all funds. Earnings from the pooled investments are allocated to the respective funds based on
applicable cash participation by each fund. The investment pool is managed such that all participating
funds have the ability to deposit and withdraw cash as if they were demand deposit accounts. Therefore,
all balances representing participants' equity in the investment pools are classified as cash and cash
equivalents for financial statement purposes.
In addition, longer-term investments are held by several of the County's funds and are reported as
restricted cash on these statements. Cash and cash equivalents of the constitutional officers are
maintained in separate accounts, but have been combined with the Board's cash and cash equivalents
for financial statement purposes.
When restricted and unrestricted resources are available, expenses are paid first from restricted
resources.
2. Investments
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, money market
funds, Florida PRIME Fund (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund
Investment (SBA) Fund A), 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 4-C, Investments, for further information on individual investments.

3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The County provides an allowance for water and sewer and ambulance services accounts receivables
that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 2014, the allowance for water and sewer services was
$424,493 and the allowance for ambulance services was $644,383. No other allowances for doubtful
accounts are maintained since other accounts receivable are considered collectible as reported at
September 30, 2014.
4. Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds". Any residual balances outstanding
between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the government -wide
financial statements as "internal balances". All receivables are shown net of allowance for doubtful
accounts. Receivables in excess of 120 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for
doubtful accounts.
5. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting, with the exception of the Golf Course and Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventories which
are valued using the average cost method of accounting. Inventories of all funds are recorded as
expenditures (expenses) when consumed rather than when purchased.
6. Prepaid Items
Prepaid items in the governmental funds represent prepayments for services that will be used in future
periods. The County's policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather
than when the cash is disbursed.
7. Restricted Net Position
Certain resources of the County are classified as restricted net position on the statement of net position
because their use is limited either by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; or by
restrictions imposed externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments. In a fund with both restricted and unrestricted net position, qualified expenses are
considered to be paid first from restricted net position and then from unrestricted net position. Further
information on the restrictions can be found in Note 21.

8. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, right-of-
ways, water and sewer distribution systems, beach restoration, stormwater systems and similar items),
and intangible assets (e.g. software, easements, and rights), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business -type activities column in the government -wide financial statements. The County defines
capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 or more and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year. Except for roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981, assets are
recorded at historical cost. Roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981 are reported at
estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date
of donations. Transfers of capital assets within the County are recorded at their carrying value at the
time of the transfer.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset nor materially
extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of
the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
The Board holds legal title to the capital assets used in the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit
Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector, and is
accountable for them under Florida Law.
The Sheriff is accountable for and thus maintains capital asset records pertaining only to equipment
used in his operations. These assets have been combined with the Board's governmental activities
capital assets in the statement of net position.
Property, plant, equipment, intangible, and infrastructure assets of the primary government, as well as
the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:
Assets Years
Building and improvements 10 — 50
Machinery and equipment 3 — 10
Utility distribution system 25 — 50
Road and bridge infrastructure 20 — 50
Fiberoptics 20
Software 3-5
Beach preservation infrastructure 7
Stormwater infrastructure 30

9. 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.
10. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. The County reports the deferred charge on refundings in the amount
of $2,245,798 in this category on the government -wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on
refundings results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price.
This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position may report a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies
to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The County only has one item, unavailable revenue, which arises under the modified accrual basis of
accounting and is reported on the governmental funds balance sheet in the total amount of $3,124,809.
The sources of the unavailable revenue are a special assessment on road paving, ambulance service
billings, and state and federal grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amounts become available.
11. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues represent revenues, which are available but unearned. At September 30, 2014, the
total amount of unearned revenues reported on the statement of net position for the governmental
activities is $341,400 and for the business -type activities is $32,771.
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, 2014.
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 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.
16. Capital Contributions
The capital contributions accounted for in the proprietary fund types represent contributions from other
funds, developers, state and federal grant programs, and impact fees charged to new customers for their
anticipated burden on the existing system. The contributions amount is reported after non-operating
revenues and expenses on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position in
accordance with GASB Statement 33. Capital contributions for the governmental funds are reported on
the Statement of Activities in accordance with GASB Statement 34 and represent contributions of
capital assets from developers and state agencies.

B. Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the
Statement of Activities
The "net change in fund balances" for governmental funds, $854,114, differs from the "change in net
position" for governmental activities, $11,922,277 reported in the statement of activities. The
differences arise primarily from the long-term economic focus of the statement of activities versus the
current financial resources focus of the governmental funds. The effect of the differences is illustrated
below.
Capital related items
When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the
resources expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in
the statement of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. As a result, fund balances decrease by the amount of financial
resources expended, whereas net position decreases by the amount of depreciation expense charged for
the year.

Depreciation expense (19,715,820)
Loss on assets (45,603)
Difference $ 8,191,348
Long-term debt transactions
Payments of bond principal, bond premium, and pollution remediation costs are reported as an
expenditure in the governmental funds and, thus, have the effect of reducing fund balance because
current financial resources have been used. However, the payments reduce the liabilities in the
statement of net position and do not result in an expense in the statement of activities.
Bond principal payments made $ 3,700,000

NOTE 3 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The County uses the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
(1) The constitutional officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to certain divisions within
the Florida Department of Revenue and the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation, a proposed
operating budget for the following fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them, as set forth in Chapter 129 of the Florida Statutes.
(2) The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on the operating budgets for
the Tax Collector and the Property Appraiser included in the General Fund.
(3) Constitutional officers, all departments controlled by the Board, and outside state and local
agencies submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for assistance, review
and compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all County departments, state agencies and
nonprofit organization's budgets and makes his budget recommendation to the Board.
(4) On or before July 15 of each year, the County Administrator and the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submit to the Board a tentative
budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures and the means
of financing them. The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by fund on a
departmental level.
(5) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065 of the Florida Statutes in
order for the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing,
the Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt the budgets at the fund level. 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, 2014, the carrying amount of the primary government's deposits was $33,509,195
and the bank balance was $38,108,091. The County's policy requires all deposits with financial
institutions to be 100% insured by federal depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified
public depositories to the State Treasurer, in accordance with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes also known
as the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. The Act established a Trust Fund, maintained by the
State Treasurer, which is a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member
financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a member fails. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014
was $26,395.
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, 2014, accrued interest for the County's portfolio totaled $153,990. The remaining
accrued interest is reflected in utilities and road paving assessments.
C. Investments
On July 24, 2014, the Board updated its investment policy to reflect the following change in valuing its
portfolio: the portfolio will be marked to market with an average of three brokers evaluations. The Tax
Collector adopted a formal investment policy in February 2005, with the latest revision done in June
2014. The Clerk adopted a formal investment policy on April 25, 2013 and updated the policy on April
24, 2014.

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.
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 and Clerk follow this policy. The Tax
Collector's policy is to limit maturities to 24 months or less. The Clerk's policy is to limit maturities to
three years or less and maintain at least 50% of the portfolio in readily available funds.

fair value.
The Board's investment policy does not allow for more than 20% of the entire portfolio to be invested
in any one issuer, with the exception of United States Treasury Obligations and state authorized pools.
No more than 10% of the portfolio may be placed in certificates of deposit (CD) and no more than $3

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.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 14 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS - Continued
The total unrecognized closure and post -closure costs are approximately $3.1 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.

Construction and Demolition -
Cell I N/A N/A 189,488
Total account balance at 9/30/14: $ 11,509,736
All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and post -closure
functions in current dollars. Actual costs may be different due to inflation, deflation, changes in
technology, or changes in laws and regulations. The SWDD is required by FDEP to annually show
proof of ability to finance closure and post -closure costs. The SWDD is making annual deposits to a
closure and post -closure cost escrow account to provide for the financing of future closure -related
expenses. At September 30, 2014, $11,448,484 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust and $61,252 was on deposit in the County's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:
Balance Balance

Closure and long-term care costs $ 11,011,736 $ 498,000 $

NOTE 15 — POLLUTION REMEDIATION
In accordance with GASB Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution
Remediation Obligations, a consultant evaluated four sites to assess pollution remediation liabilities.
The consultant calculated for each site an expected value (EV) estimate for pollution remediation based
on three plausible mitigation scenarios. An obligating event occurred at each of the following four sites
requiring the County (using the consultant's services) to attempt to accrue a liability for pollution
remediation. The liability totaled $2,683,300 at September 30, 2014 for all four sites. The pollution
remediation obligation is an estimate and subject to changes resulting from price increases and
reductions, technology, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. There are no estimated
recoveries that would reduce the liability.
Governmental Activities:
1) South Gifford Road closed landfill — The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is
chlorinated solvent contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring, bioremediation and
reporting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The amount of the
estimated year end liability is $2,640,000 and will be paid from the Optional Sales Tax Fund.
2) Old Administration Building — The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is closed
underground storage tank contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring and reporting
with the FDEP. The amount of the estimated year end liability is $26,800 and will be paid from

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

NOTE 17 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved resolution number 2008-163,
establishing an irrevocable trust (OPEB Trust) to separately identify assets accumulated to pay OPEB
benefits for eligible retirees. The OPEB Trust includes the Board of County Commissioners and the
five constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff,
Supervisor of Elections, and Tax Collector). The resolution also established the Board of County
Commissioners as trustees of the OPEB Trust and the authority for the trustees to amend the benefit
provisions.
The OPEB Trust is a single -employer defined benefit plan (OPEB Plan). The OPEB plan subsidizes
(see the chart below) the cost of health care for employees hired prior to February 1, 2006 and their
eligible dependents according to the provisions of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members). Employees hired on or after February 1, 2006, will not be eligible for
any subsidy, regardless of the years of service or Medicare eligibility.
Active participants as well as retirees are subject to the same benefits and rules. Retired employees are
permitted to remain covered under the Board's medical and life insurance plans as long as they pay a
premium applicable to the coverage elected. This conforms to the minimum required of Florida
governmental employers per Florida Statute 112.0801. The retiree has the option to continue with the
Board group health plan or elect Medicare Advantage Plan.
The implicit rate subsidy applies to health and life insurance coverage since the premiums charged are
based upon a blending of younger active employees and older retired employees. Health insurance
premiums, effective October 1, 2013 range from $400 for Medicare participants to $715 for family
coverage. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate of $.20 per $1000 of coverage (to a
maximum of $20,000 until the age of 70). After 70, the maximum amount of life insurance is $10,000.
The Board subsidizes the cost of the health premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service
and employment date (as mentioned above); a 2% discount is given for each year of service based upon
the following table:
Retirement Date
Years of Service
Under Age 65

A. Plan Description - Continued
The OPEB Trust financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and are
included in the Indian River County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Questions
regarding the OPEB plan may be directed to the Finance Director.
At October 1, 2013, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of:
Active participants 1,382
Retired participants 429
1 Total participants 1.811
There are two classes of participants at October 1, 2013:
Regular and senior management 1,141
g g
Special risk 670
1 Total participants 1,811
The average employer's contribution was $2,051 per employee, approximately 4.6% of current payroll.
Financial statements for the OPEB Trust are included in this report and can be found on pages 44-45. A
separate, stand-alone financial report is not issued by the County. The OPEB Trust investments can be
' found in Note 4D and the Schedule of Funding Progress can be found on page 101.
B. Funding Policy
The Board of County Commissioners, in concert with the OPEB Board of Trustees, has the authority to
establish and amend the funding policy of the OPEB Plan. The OPEB Trust is advance funded by the
' County. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the County contributed $3.43 million to the qualifying
OPEB Trust. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $1.72 million, or approximately 50 percent
of the total premiums. We anticipate that the OPEB liability will be liquidated in the following manner:
General fund 49 percent, Transportation fund 7 percent, Emergency Services District fund 18 percent,
enterprise funds 8 percent, internal service funds 16 percent, and the remaining 2 percent is by the other
governmental and internal service funds. It is the County's policy to base future OPEB Trust
contributions on the annual required contribution (ARC) in subsequent annual actuarial reports.
Custodial and individual fund administrative fees are paid from the portfolio dividend and interest
income.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The employer's contribution (i.e. annual cost or expense) to the County's OPEB Trust is based on the
ARC calculation. The ARC is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of
GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
' projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period
not to exceed 20 years. The following table shows the components of the County's annual cost for the
current and two preceding years, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

fiscal years 2013 and 2012, these adjustments totaled ($15,154) and $13,640 respectfully.
D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of October 1, 2013 (the most recent actuarial valuation date), the funded status of the plan was as
follows:
Actuarial accrued liability (AAL)
Actuarial value of plan assets
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL)
Funded ratio
$ 35,745,213
$ 11,571,968
$ 24,173,245
32.37%
Covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) $ 61,615,728
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 39.23%
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 immediately following the County Notes to the Financial Statements (on
page 101), presents multi-year trend information regarding liabilities, funding, and payroll. The data
also reflects whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative
to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. This information includes the current (listed above) and
past two actuarial valuations as well as six years of funding data.

NOTE 17 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN - Continued
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
Inflation rate

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

NOTE 19 - FUND BALANCE — Continued
B. Fund Balance Policy - Continued
Budget Stabilization Reserve — A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures for
the current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of revenue declines or unfunded mandates
from the state and federal governments. Funds utilized due to revenue declines will be replenished over
a five-year period. Funds utilized for unfunded mandates or unanticipated expenditures cannot be used
for more than a three-year period and must be replenished within five -years after the three-year period.
At September 30, 2014, reserve amounts for those funds were:
Budget
Disaster Relief Stabilization Total
General Fund $ 5,100,000 $ 5,100,000 $ 10,200,000
Transportation Fund 750,000 750,000 1,500,000
Emergency Services District Fund 1,400,000 1,400,000 2,800,000
Total
$ 7,250,000 $ 7,250,000 $ 14,500,000
The General Fund reserves are included in the unassigned fund balance on the balance sheet. The
Transportation Fund reserves are included in the assigned fund balance and the Emergency Services
District Fund reserves are included in the restricted fund balance on the balance sheet.
Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the
Board of County Commissioners.
Minimum Fund Balance - The approved fund balance policy dictates the County's attempt to maintain
a minimum fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20%
of budgeted annual operating expenditures. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the
County Administrator or his designee.
C. Spending Hierarchy
For all governmental funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are
combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as
appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

restricted net position, of which $85,130,111 is restricted by enabling legislation.
B. Restatement of Beginning Net Position
Beginning net position for the governmental activities was restated due to the recording of accumulated
depreciation not previously reported on capital assets. At October 1, 2013, this results in a decrease to
beginning net position of $15,488,462.

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. All departments of the County participate in the program. Payments are made by various funds
to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actual estimates of the amounts needed to pay
current year claims. The County has received three workers compensation reimbursements totaling
$125,213 in fiscal year 2014. The County received three workers compensation reimbursements
totaling $108,123 in fiscal year 2013 and one in fiscal year 2012 totaling $134,020.
The County is also self-insured for medical claims covering employees and their eligible dependents.
As required by Section 112.081, Florida Statutes, retirees and their eligible dependents are provided the
same health care coverage as is offered to active employees; however, the retirees are responsible for
payment of the premiums. Medical claims are paid from premiums contributed by employees, retirees
and by the County. Premiums and contributions are determined by projected claims based on historical
and actuarial experience. The self insurance plan assumes all risk for claims, other than worker's
compensation, up to $250,000 per occurrence. The County has purchased a reinsurance policy to cover
claims in excess of these limits. There were six medical claim reimbursements in excess of the
$250,000 limit for fiscal year 2014 totaling $335,641. In fiscal year 2013, there were six totaling
$285,689 and in fiscal year 2012, there were none.
The claims liability of $8,226,545 reported at September 30, 2014, 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, $3,181,891 will be liquidated over the next twelve months.

Included in the charges to other funds is an amount to fund future catastrophic losses not actuarially
determined and at September 30, 2014, unrestricted net position of $23,730,587 has been designated for
this purpose. The County has elected to accrue the larger of the discounted liability or undiscounted
liability. At September 30, 2014, the undiscounted liability was the greater of the two amounts. The
discount rate used in the calculation was 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, 2014. In the General
Fund, contracts are for janitorial services, beach park landscape and custodial maintenance, legislative
consulting services and external auditing services. In the Special Revenue Funds, contracts are for the
Sector 3 Dune Repair -Post Sandy, Oslo Road Widening from 58th Avenue to 43rd Avenue (Phase III),
66th Avenue Roadway Improvements, Old Dixie Highway Resurfacing, as well as a variety of other

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
and Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of Indian River County, Florida (the "County"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
1
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
t 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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
' material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
1
1
1
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
County's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE
SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS AND STATE PROJECTS
REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133 AND CHAPTER 10.550, RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
and Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Indian River County, Florida (the
"County") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. We issued our report
thereon dated March 4 2015, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our
audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the basic financial statements. 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,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-profit Organizations, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
Auditor General, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditure of federal awards and
state projects is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.

Indian River County, Florida
Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
and State Projects
For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and presentation of the Single Audit Report of Indian River County, Florida,
(the "County") have been designed to conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable
to governmental units, including the reporting and compliance requirements of the Audits of States,
Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
133
A. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity consists of Indian River County, the primary government, and each of its
component units. The County includes a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State
Projects in the Compliance Section.
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the
measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards and State Projects is maintained on a modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental
funds and a full accrual basis for proprietary funds, which is explained further in the notes to the
financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in OMB
A-87 Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments, wherein certain types of
expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
C. Program Clusters
OMB Circular A-133 defines a cluster of programs as a grouping of closely related programs that share
common compliance requirements. According to this definition, similar programs deemed to be a cluster
of programs are tested accordingly.
D. Contingencies
Grant revenue amounts received by the County are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor
agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement by the grantor agency. Any adjustments
to grant funding are recorded in the year the adjustment occurs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A
DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND MAJOR STATE PROJECT
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
AND CHAPTER 10.550, RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL
' March 4, 2015
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
and Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
tReport on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and Major State Project
We have audited the compliance of Indian River County, Florida (the "County") with the types of
compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and the
requirements described in the Florida Department of Financial Services' State Projects Compliance
Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the County's major federal
programs or state projects for the year ended September 30, 2014. The County's major federal
programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
' Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and
L grants applicable to its federal programs.
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the County's major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted
our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations; and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those
standards and OMB Circular A-133 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 on compliance for each major
federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the County's
compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2014.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the County's internal control over compliance with
the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program
and state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and state project
and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and
Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, 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 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. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement
of a federal program or state project that is less severe that a material weakness in internal control
over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
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 material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of
OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not
suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Board of County of Commissioners
(the "Board"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Board's basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.

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 (a) serves as the governing body of the legally
separate organization and there is a financial burden/benefit relationship or management has operational
responsibility of the organization, (b) the organization provides almost exclusive service or benefit to the
primary government, or (c) total debt of the organization is repayable almost entirely from the resources
of the primary government. Based on these criteria, management determined that the Solid Waste
Disposal District and the Emergency Services District were the only organizations that should be
included in the Board's financial statements as blended component units.
Blended Component Units
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) — Created pursuant to County Ordinance 87-67, the Board of
County Commissioners serves as the governing body for and has operational responsibility over the
SWDD. The Board also 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 governing body for and has operational responsibility over the EMS. The
Board also 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.

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

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
B. Fund Financial Statements — Continued
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as an other financing
source rather than as a fund liability. Debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary Funds
The Board's enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements,
proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when
they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the
fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement
focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included on their balance
sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses)
in total net position.
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 Board. It is used to account for
all financial resources, except those accounted for and reported in another fund.
Impact Fees Fund — The Impact Fees Fund accounts for the receipt of various impact fees. Funds are
used for the construction of roads and bridges, correctional, public safety, library, park, public building,
and solid waste facilities. Funds are also used for administrative expenditures of monitoring the
aforementioned activities.
Secondary Roads Construction Fund — The Secondary Roads Construction Fund accounts for the
expenditures of road and bridge construction, roadway, bridge and right of way maintenance and
drainage, and related administrative expenses. Financing is provided by collections of the local option
gas tax.
Transportation Fund — The Transportation Fund accounts for expenditures incurred for the maintenance
and repair of county roads. Financing is provided by the 5th and 6th cent gas tax, County gas tax and
transfers from the General Fund.
Emergency Services District Fund — The Emergency Services District Fund accounts for the
expenditures of providing fire protection and advanced life support to the County. Ad valorem taxes are
the primary source of revenue.
Optional Sales Tax Fund — The Optional Sales Tax Fund accounts for revenue generated by the local
option one -cent sales tax and some capital grants that use the local option one -cent sales tax as matching
funds. Monies are used for various capital projects.
Proprietary Major Funds
Solid Waste Disposal District — The Solid Waste Disposal District Fund accounts for the revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities associated with the County landfill.

Other Fund Types
Internal Service Funds — Internal Service Funds account for Fleet Management, Self Insurance and
Information Technology services provided to other departments of the Board on a cost reimbursement
basis.
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held in a custodial capacity by the Board
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, 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 FLGIT Fund 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 and ambulance service accounts receivables that
may become uncollectable. At September 30, 2014, the allowance for water and sewer was $424,493
and for ambulance services was $644,383. No other allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained
since other accounts receivable are considered collectable as reported at September 30, 2014.

F. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting, with the exception of the Golf Course and Fleet Internal Service Fund's inventories which
are valued using the average cost method of accounting. Inventories of all funds are recorded as
expenditures (expenses) when consumed rather than when purchased.
G. Prepaid Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Board's policy
is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, right-of-
ways, water and sewer distribution systems, beach restoration, stormwater systems and similar items),
and intangible assets (e.g. software, easements, and rights), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business -type activities column in the government -wide financial statements. The Board defines
capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 or more and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year. Except for roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981, assets are
recorded at historical cost. Roads and bridges constructed prior to October 1, 1981 are reported at
estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of
donations. Transfers of capital assets within the Board are recorded at their carrying value at the time of
the transfer. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset nor
materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of
the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The Board holds legal title to the capital assets used in
the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, 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.

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

K. 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.
L. 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.
M. Unearned Revenues
In governmental fund financial statements (in accordance with the modified accrual basis of
accounting), unearned revenues represent revenues, which are available but not earned.
N. 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.
-O. 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, 2014.

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

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Board maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds except those whose
cash and investments must be segregated due to bond covenants or other legal restrictions.
A. Deposits
At September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Board's deposits was $20,217,767 and the bank
balance was $21,843,381. All the deposits were covered by the FDIC or collateralized in accordance
with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes, also known as the "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act". Cash
on hand at September 30, 2014 was $8,200.
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, 2014, accrued interest for the Board's portfolio totaled $108,191 and was allocated to the
funds based on their average monthly balance for September. The remaining accrued interest is
reflected in utilities and road paving assessments.

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);
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.

company or investment trust is limited to obligations of the United States Government or any
agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such United
States Government obligations, and provided that such investment company or investment trust
takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian;
7. Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit
quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;

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 10% 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, 2014 the Board's
investment portfolio in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and money market funds was held by The Bank
of New York/Mellon. Additional investments include the following: Money Markets at Regions Bank,
TD Bank, and Bank United, Harbor Community Bank Certificate of Deposit, and the Florida Local
Government Investment Trust (held by the Bank of New York/Mellon).
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 (last
amended on November 5, 2013). The Board adopted a broadly diversified portfolio composition
consisting of equity, debt, and cash and cash equivalents. Asset allocations are divided between short
term and long term investments. Short term asset allocations include cash and cash equivalents with
maturities of 180 days or less. Long term asset allocations range from 0-60% for equities, 0-60% for
fixed income securities, and 0-100% for cash and cash equivalents.

Limited General Obligation Bonds
Purpose — On July 6, 2006, the Board issued $48,600,000 of Limited General Obligation Bonds, Series
2006. The issuance of the Series 2006 bonds was approved by a majority of votes cast in a bond
referendum held on November 2, 2004, by the qualified electors of the County. The referendum
authorized a total of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of limited general obligation bonds. The
proceeds of this issue will provide funds to acquire interest in lands to protect water resources and/or
drinking water sources, environmentally sensitive lands, historic sites, and/or agricultural lands together
with the necessary preservation, restoration, remediation and reclamation activities to preserve and
enhance such property.
Pledge of revenues - The principal and interest on the bonds are payable from ad valorem taxes not
exceeding '/2 mil and having a maturity not exceeding fifteen years, which are levied by the Board upon
the taxable real and personal property of the Board.

Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2005
Purpose - The Series 2005 bonds were issued to defease $31,680,000 of the Board's outstanding Water
and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1996. These bonds were issued by the Board to provide funds,
together with $5,000,000, to retire 95% of the 1996 Series and to pay for all bond issuance costs. The
September 1, 2005 and 2006 principal installments were not subject to early call and consequently paid
at their respective maturity dates. The 1996 bonds were issued to acquire an existing water and sewer
facility, as well as for capital improvements to the existing system.
The aggregate difference in debt service between the Series 1996 ($40,585,193) and Series 2005
($39,619,193) is $966,000. The net economic gain, which included shortening the term of the bonds by
four years and lowering average annual debt service by $242,000, was $2,944,661 and is amortized over
the life of the bonds. The unamortized balance of the deferred amount on the refunding at September 30,
2014 is $1,344,917 and is reflected as a deferred outflow of resources on the Statement of Net Position.
Pledge of Revenues — The revenue bonds are collateralized, for the remaining term of the bonds, by a
pledge of all net revenues derived from the operation of the system, certain surcharges, and special
assessments.
Annual principal and interest payments of $2,405,650 represent approximately seventeen percent of net
revenues of $13,924,642 of the utility system. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on
the bonds is $19,235,100.
Rate Covenant — Net revenues shall be sufficient to pay 100% of reserve and 120% of current year
principal and interest requirements.

NOTE 12 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS
Current regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) require the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to place a final
cover on closed landfill areas, and to maintain those areas for up to thirty years after closure. The
SWDD annually obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure and post -closure costs
from its consulting engineers. The SWDD recognizes the expenses associated with the final closure and
post -closure maintenance of the landfill areas over the active life of those areas. The provision for
closure costs reported in the financial statements as operating expense represents the portion of these
estimated future outlays which are allocable to the current year based on the amount of capacity used.
The total unrecognized closure and post -closure costs are approximately $3.1 million. These costs will
be recognized in future periods as the remaining capacity is filled. The Board's policy is to fund 100%
of the current year's allocation (based upon the consulting engineers' report) of both closure and post -
closure care.
Required closure and post -closure sub -accounts:
Capacity Estimated
Used Closing Amount
Closure Costs
Class I - Segments I and II 61% 2026 $ 7,401,947
Construction and Demolition - Cell I 90% 2026 1,154,866
Post -closure Costs
Class I - Segments 1 and II N/A N/A 2,763,435

Total account balance at 9/30/14 $ 11,509,736

All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and post -closure
functions in current dollars. Actual costs may be different due to inflation, deflation, changes in
technology, or changes in laws and regulations. The SWDD is required by FDEP to annually show proof
of ability to finance closure and post -closure costs. The SWDD is making annual deposits to a closure3
and post -closure costs account to provide for the financing of future closure -related expenses. At
September 30, 2014, $11,448,484 was on deposit at the Florida Local Government Investment Trust and
$61,252 was on deposit in the Board's Operating account.
A summary of changes in the landfill closure liability account is as follows:
Balance Balance 11
10/1/2013 Deposits Withdrawals 09/30/14
Closure and long-term care costs $ 11,011,736 $ 498,000 $ - $ 11,509,736 3
Of the $11,509,736 liability for closure and long-term care costs, management estimates that no funds 3
will be due and payable within one year.

NOTE 13 — POLLUTION REMEDIATION
In accordance with GASB Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation
Obligations, a consultant evaluated four sites to assess pollution remediation liabilities. The consultant
calculated for each site an expected value (EV) estimate for pollution remediation based on three
plausible mitigation scenarios. An obligating event occurred at each of the following four sites requiring
the Board (using the consultant's services) to attempt to accrue a liability for pollution remediation. The
liability totaled $2,683,300 at September 30, 2014 for all four sites. The pollution remediation
obligation is an estimate and subject to changes resulting from price increases and reductions,
technology, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. There are no estimated recoveries that would
reduce the liability.
Governmental Funds:
1. South Gifford Road closed landfill — The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is
chlorinated solvent contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring, bioremediation and
reporting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The amount of the
estimated year end liability is $2,640,000 and will be paid from the Optional Sales Tax Fund.
2. Old Administration Building — The nature of the pollution remediation obligation is closed
underground storage tank contamination. The consultant will conduct monitoring and reporting with
the FDEP. The amount of the estimated year end liability is $26,800 and will be paid from the
General Fund.

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. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class. Employer rates effective as of July 1, 2014 were as follows: regular class
7.37%, senior class 21.14%, special risk 19.82%, and elected official class 43.24%.
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement.
In addition to the above benefits, the FRS administers a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP).
This program allows eligible employees to defer receipt of monthly retirement benefit payments while
continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed five years after electing to
participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014, were
equal to 7.7%, 9.1%, and 11.5% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014, were $2,905,921, $3,397,021 and
$4,308,039 respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013,
and 2014 were $956,266, $919,672, and $930,338. Both employer and employee contributions were
equal to 100% of the required contribution for each year.
Florida Statutes Chapter 121, as may be amended from time to time by the state legislature, determines
contribution rates for the various membership classes of the FRS. The FRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements, ten-year historical trend information and other
required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to the Florida Department
of Management Services, Division of Retirement, Attention: Research and Education Section, P.O. Box
9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000, or from the website at www.dms.myflorida.com. The funding
policy is described in detail in the Florida Retirement System note in the County -wide financial
statements.

NOTE 15 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved resolution number 2008-163,
establishing an irrevocable trust (OPEB Trust) to separately identify assets accumulated to pay OPEB
benefits for eligible retirees. The OPEB Trust includes the Board of County Commissioners and the five
constitutional officers (Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff,
Supervisor of Elections, and Tax Collector). The resolution also established the Board of County
Commissioners as trustees of the OPEB Trust and the authority for the trustees to amend the benefit
provisions.
The OPEB Trust is a single -employer defined benefit plan (OPEB Plan). The OPEB plan subsidizes
(see the chart below) the cost of health care for employees hired prior to February 1, 2006 and their
eligible dependents according to the provisions of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members). Employees hired on or after February 1, 2006, will not be eligible for any
subsidy, regardless of the years of service or Medicare eligibility.
Active participants as well as retirees are subject to the same benefits and rules. Retired employees are
permitted to remain covered under the Board's medical and life insurance plans as long as they pay a
premium applicable to the coverage elected. This conforms to the minimum required of Florida
governmental employers per Florida Statute 112.0801. The retiree has the option to continue with the
Board group health plan or elect Medicare Advantage Plan.
The implicit rate subsidy applies to health and life insurance coverage since the premiums charged are
based upon a blending of younger active employees and older retired employees. Health insurance
premiums, effective October 1, 2013 range from $400 for Medicare participants to $715 for family
coverage. Life insurance is available to retirees at a flat rate of $.20 per $1000 of coverage (to a
maximum of $20,000 until the age of 70). After 70, the maximum amount of life insurance is $10,000.
The Board subsidizes the cost of the health premiums for each retiree based upon their years of service
and employment date (as mentioned above); a 2% discount is given for each year of service based upon
the following table:
Retirement Date
Years of Service
Under Age 65

A. Plan Description — Continued
The OPEB Trust financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and are included
in the Indian River County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Questions regarding the
OPEB plan may be directed to the Finance Director.
At October 1, 2013, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of:
Active participants 1,382
Retired participants 429
Total participants 1,811
There are two classes of participants at October 1, 2013:
Regular and senior management 1,141
Special risk 670
Total participants 1,811
The average employer's contribution was $2,051 per employee, approximately 4.6% of current payroll.
Financial statements for the OPEB Trust are included in this report and can be found on pages 244-245.
A separate, stand-alone financial report is not issued by the Board; however, the OPEB Trust
investments can be found in Note 2D and the Schedule of Funding Progress can be found on page 101.
B. Funding Policy
The Board of County Commissioners, in concert with the OPEB Board of Trustees, has the authority to
establish and amend the funding policy of the OPEB Plan. The OPEB Trust is advance funded by the
Board. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the County contributed $3.43 million to the qualifying
OPEB Trust. Plan members receiving benefits contributed $1.72 million, or approximately 50 percent of
the total premiums. It is the Board's policy to base future contributions on the annual required
contribution (ARC) in subsequent annual actuarial reports. The contributions are paid by the fund(s) by
which the participant is employed. 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 Board's OPEB Trust is based on the
ARC calculation. The ARC is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of
GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period
not to exceed 20 years. The following table shows the components of the Board's annual cost for the
current and two preceding years, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net obligation.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
The Schedule of Funding Progress and Schedule of Employer Contributions, presented as required
supplementary information immediately following the County Notes to the Financial Statements (on
page 101), presents multi-year trend regarding liabilities, funding, and payroll. The data also reflects
whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the
actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. This information includes the current and past three actuarial
valuations and seven years of funding data.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made
about the future.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of
the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) in effect at the time
of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that
point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the
potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the
employer and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective.
Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial
value of assets.

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

NOTE 17 - FUND BALANCE — Continued
B. Fund Balance Policy - Continued
Budget Stabilization Reserve — A balance of no less than 5% of budgeted operating expenditures for the
current fiscal year will be reserved only for the purpose of revenue declines or unfunded mandates from
the state and federal governments. Funds utilized due to revenue declines will be replenished over a
five-year period. Funds utilized for unfunded mandates or unanticipated expenditures cannot be used
for more than a three-year period and must be replenished within five -years after the three-year period.
At September 30, 2014, reserve amounts for those funds were:
Disaster Relief
Budget
Stabilization
Total
General Fund $ 5,100,000 $ 5,100,000 $ 10,200,000
Transportation Fund 750,000 750,000 1,500,000
Emergency Services District Fund 1,400,000 1,400,000 2,800,000
Total
$ 7,250,000 $ 7,250,000 $ 14,500,000
The General Fund reserves are included in the unassigned fund balance on the balance sheet. The
Transportation Fund reserves are included in the assigned fund balance and the Emergency Services
District Fund reserves are included in the restricted fund balance on the balance sheet. The
Emergency/Disaster Relief and Budget Stabilization Reserve amounts may only be revised by the Board
of County Commissioners.
Minimum Fund Balance - The approved fund balance policy dictates the Board's attempt to maintain a
minimum fund balance in the General, Transportation, and Emergency Services District funds of 20% of
budgeted annual operating expenditures. The minimum fund balance level may be revised by the County
Administrator or his designee.
C. Spending Hierarchy
For all governmental funds, when restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are
combined in a fund, qualified expenditures are paid first from restricted or committed fund balance, as
appropriate, then assigned and finally unassigned fund balances.

The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of
I 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:

1 The Board purchases excess insurance to cover claims in excess of the liability coverage listed above.
There is a 5% deductible per location for property damages arising due to a hurricane under the
I reinsurance policy. All departments of the Board participate in the program. Payments are made by
various funds to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actual estimates of the amounts
needed to pay current year claims. The Board has received three workers compensation reimbursements
I totaling $125,213 in fiscal year 2014. The Board received two workers compensation reimbursements
totaling $108,123 in fiscal year 2013 and one in fiscal year 2012 totaling $134,020.
I 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
I payment of the premiums. Medical claims are paid from premiums contributed by employees, retirees,
and by the Board. Premiums and contributions are determined by projected claims based on historical
and actuarial experience. The self-insurance medical plan assumes all risk for claims, other than
I worker's compensation, up to $250,000 per occurrence. The Board has purchased a reinsurance policy
to cover claims in excess of these limits. There were six medical claim reimbursements in excess of the
$250,000 limit for fiscal year 2014 totaling $335,641. In fiscal year 2013, there were six totaling
I
$285,689 and in fiscal year 2012, there were none.

General Liability, Property, Worker's Compensation and Medical — Continued
The claims liability of $8,226,545 reported at September 30, 2014, 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, $3,181,891 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
follows:
Balance at Claims Balance
Fiscal Year and Changes Claims at Fiscal
Beginning in Estimates Payments Year End
2010-2011 $ 7,899,000 $ 12,901,425 $ (12,923,425) $ 7,877,000

Included in the charges to other funds is an amount to fund future catastrophic losses not actuarially
determined; and at September 30, 2014, unrestricted net position of $23,730,587 has been designated for
this purpose. The Board has elected to accrue the larger of the discounted liability or undiscounted
liability. At September 30, 2014, the undiscounted liability was the greater of the two amounts. The
discount rate used in the calculation was 2.5 percent.
NOTE 20 - 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.

agencies. If any expenditures are disallowed as a result of these audits, the claims for reimbursement to
the grantor agency would become a liability of the Board. In the opinion of management, any such
adjustments would not be significant.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Board
of County of Commissioners (the "Board"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, which
collectively comprise the Board's fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Board's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal
control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's financial statements are free
from 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Board's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Clerk of Court (the "Clerk"), as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Clerk's fund financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Reporting Entity
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements referred to above present only the Indian River County,

River County, Florida as of September 30, 2014, and the changes in its financial position for the year
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

2015 on our consideration of the Clerk's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Clerk's internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller (Clerk) is a County agency and a local governmental
entity pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial
statement and reporting purposes, the Clerk does not meet the definition of a legally separate
organization and is not considered to be a component unit. The Clerk is considered to be a part of the
primary government of Indian River County.
Court -related expenditures are funded through filing fees, service charges, court costs and fines assessed
to parties using the court system. Under 2013-44, Laws of Florida, revenue collected by the Clerk is
retained by the County and remitted to the Florida Department of Revenue based upon various formulas
determined by Florida Clerks of Court Corporation. Non -court expenditures are funded by the Board of
County Commission for both the finance and recording (board meeting recordings) departments.
Additional non -court revenues include various fees assessed for the recording of documents, passports,
marriage licenses and court reporter services. Both court and non -court operations are reported in these
financial statements.
The financial statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court and Comptroller only. The format of the Clerk's statements has been prepared in accordance with
the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized into the following two fund types:
governmental funds and a fiduciary fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general (both court and non -court) operations of the Clerk which are not
accounted for in another fund. All financial resources, which are not accounted for and reported in
another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The governmental fund measurement focus is based
upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of
financial resources) rather than upon net income determination.
Special Revenue Fund — The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds from recording fees to be
used for modernizing the Clerk's public records systems, subsidizing court -related operational needs and
program enhancements, and adding access to public records (by charging a computer usage fee).
Fiduciary Fund
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Clerk in a trustee capacity or
as an agent. These funds cannot be used to support the Clerk's own programs.

Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the
modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are
recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available. The Clerk
only considers revenue to be available if collected within the current fiscal year, except for Title IV -D
grant revenue. This grant revenue is subject to accrual and has been recognized as revenue of the
current fiscal period. Revenues collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned and are
reflected as liabilities. The fiduciary fund is accounted for on the accrual basis.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Clerk to prepare his budget in two parts: the budget relating to the State court
system and the budget relating to the requirements of the Clerk as Clerk to the Board of County
Commissioners, County auditor, and custodian of all County funds and other County -related duties. The
budget relating to the State court system is prepared by the Clerk and submitted to the Florida Clerks of
Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) by June 1 of each year (for consolidation to the Florida
Legislative Budget Commission by August 1). The budget relating to the requirements of the Clerk as
Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners is prepared prior to May 1 and is reviewed, modified if
required, and approved by the Board by October 1. Both budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget legally adopted by the Clerk must be balanced; that is, the total of estimated receipts,
including funding from the Board, shall equal the total estimated expenditures. Management is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long as
management does not exceed the total appropriations of a fund.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety
days or less when purchased.
E. Prepaid Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Clerk's policy
is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
F. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Clerk in operations is reported in the
financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for capitalization
threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
G. Compensated Absences
The Clerk accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences when
certain conditions are met. The Clerk does not, nor is he legally required to, accumulate expendable
available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the liability for compensated
absences is not reported in the Clerk's financial statements. Additional information on the liability is
reflected in subsequent Note 6.
H. Transfer In
The non -court operations (finance function and board meeting recordings) were funded by the Board of
County Commissioners in the amount of $902,281.
I. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all non -court -related revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-
end are owed to the Board of County Commissioners before November 1. On October 27, 2014, $51,094
was returned to the Board. This transfer is included in the amount Due to Other Governments on the
balance sheet.
J. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. The Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.

NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Clerk's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida Department
of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class. Classes and rates in effect at July 1, 2014 were: regular class 7.37%,
senior class 21.14%, DROP class 12.28%, and elected official class 43.24%.
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age.

NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN - Continued
Florida Retirement System - Continued
Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching normal retirement age and will be
subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age at retirement is under your normal
retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the Investment Plan rather than the
Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have access to the full value of their
vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of age. These participants receive
a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a third party administrator
selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County -wide note on
pension plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014, were
equal to 5.21%, 5.24%, and 9.81% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014 were $186,001, $183,360, and $350,544
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014
were $91,895, $93,110 and $97,090 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were equal
to 100% of the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Clerk participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust (IRCOT). The
Clerk's 2014 annual contribution of $166,560 was funded by the Board of County Commissioners in the
amount of $24,479; non -court revenue in the amount of $22,671; court -related State expenditures in the
amount of $116,303; and the public modernization trust fund in the amount of $3,107. This contribution

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Jeffrey R. Smith
Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Clerk
of Court (the "Clerk"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, which collectively comprise
the Clerk's fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Clerk's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk's internal
control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Clerk's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,

regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion
on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Clerk's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major fund information of the
Indian River County, Florida Property Appraiser (the "Property Appraiser"), as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the Property Appraiser's fund financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Property Appraiser is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article VIII,
Section 1(d) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes,
the Property Appraiser does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not
considered to be a component unit. The Property Appraiser is considered to be a part of the primary
government of Indian River County. The financial statements contained herein represent the financial
transactions of the Property Appraiser only. The format of the Property Appraiser's statements has been
prepared in accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized on the basis of governmental funds.
Governmental Fund
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Property Appraiser. All financial resources,
which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The
governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial position and changes in
financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income
determination.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Under the
modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Revenues are
recorded when received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available. Revenues
collected in excess of expenditures are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities.
C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Property Appraiser to prepare an annual budget, which clearly reflects the
revenues available to his office and the functions for which money is to be expended. The budgeted
revenues and expenditures are subject to the review and approval of the Department of Revenue.
Management is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments as long as
management does not exceed the total appropriations of a fund. Department of Revenue approval is only
required when unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have appropriated,
thereby increasing the total appropriations. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles.

D. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
1 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.
tE. 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.
1 F. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to
1 the Board of County Commissioners and other governments. These "excess fees" totaled $32,939 at
September 30, 2014 and are included as due to other governments on the balance sheet. Of this amount,
$29,783 was owed to the Board of County Commissioners and is reported as Transfers to Board of
County Commissioners on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances.
G. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the Property Appraiser's deposits was $55,073 and the
bank balance was $129,853. 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 on cash and cash equivalents for the definition of
111 custodial credit risk. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014 was $70.

NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Property Appraiser's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System
(FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the
Florida Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory
plan for all members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a
rate based upon each member's employment class (regular class 7.37%, senior class 21.14%, DROP
class 12.28%, and elected official class 43.24%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County -wide note on
pension plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014, were
equal to 5.41%, 6.64%, and 10.13% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, 2014 were $102,232, $123,913, and $199,217
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014
were $52,696, $51,583, and $52,723 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were
equal to 100% of the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 4 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Property Appraiser participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust
(IRCOT). The Property Appraiser's 2014 annual contribution of $67,788 was funded by the Board of
County Commissioners as part of a total contribution determined by the IRCOT actuary. Further
information on the IRCOT can be found in the County -wide financial statements and in the County
notes.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
1 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
1 the Property Appraiser.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable David Nolte
Property Appraiser
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund of the Indian River County, Florida Property Appraiser (the "Property Appraiser"), as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2014, which comprises the Property Appraiser's fund financial
statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Property
Appraiser's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Property Appraiser's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Property Appraiser's internal control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in

any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

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 off Funds
For reporting purposes, the accounting records are organized into the following two fund types:
governmental funds and a fiduciary fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Sheriff, which are not accounted for in another
fund. All financial resources, which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in
the General Fund. The governmental fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial
position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than
upon net income determination.
Special Revenue Fund — The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted, committed or assigned for public safety such as police education,
special purpose equipment, jail commissary, and special law enforcement activities.
Fiduciary Fund
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Sheriff in a trustee capacity
or as an agent. Funds are for the employee cafeteria plan.
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.

1 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
1 C. Budgetary Requirements
State statutes require the Sheriff to submit a proposed budget to the Board of County Commissioners by
I
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
1 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
1 approval of the Board. The budgeted revenues and expenditures in the accompanying financial
statements reflect all amendments approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
1 D. Compensated Absences
The Sheriff accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences when
1 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 Sheriffs financial statements. Additional information on the liability is
1 reflected in subsequent Note 7.
E. Transfer Out
1
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all general fund revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end
1 are owed to the Board of County Commissioners. The September 30, 2014 amount totaled $155,148 and
was reported as a transfer to the Board of County Commissioners at year end. This transfer is also
included in the due to other governments amount reported on the balance sheet.
1 F. Fund Balance
I
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
I government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the Sheriff's deposits was $3,111,493, and the bank
balance was $4,450,360. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014 was $675.
The Sheriff's office elected not to adopt a formal investment policy and selects the alternative
investment guidelines as provided by Florida Statutes 218.415, subsection 17. Refer to the County -wide
note on 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:
Beginning Ending
Balance Balance
10/01/13 Additions Deletions 09/30/14

Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for capitalization threshold, depreciation methodology
and useful lives.
NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first -in, first -out" method of
accounting. The costs of inventory are recorded as an expenditure when consumed rather than when
purchased. Inventory of the Sheriff represents law enforcement gear, miscellaneous clothing and store
items.

NOTE 5 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Sheriffs employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida Department
of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all members,
except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based upon each
member's employment class (regular class 7.37%, special risk 19.82%, senior class 21.14%, DROP
class 12.28%, and elected official class 43.24%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County -wide note on
pension plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014 were
equal to 11.30%, 12.70%, and 15.35% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, 2014 were $2,544,542, $2,835,772, and $3,490,547
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014
were $629,659, $615,894, and $606,411 respectively. Both employer and employee contributions were
equal to 100% of the required contribution for each year.
NOTE 6 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Sheriff participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust (IRCOT).
The Sheriffs 2014 annual 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 7 — 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 2014 at an annual cost of approximately $3,688,506.
Further details on this self-insurance program are disclosed in the County -wide financial statements and
County notes.

Changes in Long -Term Liabilities
The following is a schedule of changes in long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2014:
Beginning Ending

10/01/13 Additions Deletions 09/30/14
Accrued Compensated Absences $ 6,606,399 $ 2,822,313 $ 3,494,997 $ 5,933,715
Of the $5,933,715 liability for accrued compensated absences, management estimates that $3,301,137
will be due and payable within one year. The long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial
statements of the Sheriff since they are not payable from available spendable resources. They are
reported in the County -wide financial statements and County notes.
NOTE 9 — OPERATING LEASES
The Sheriff has entered into noncancelable operating leases as lessee of a building, hangar, mail
machine, and copiers. Lease expenditures totaled $105,404 for the year ended September 30, 2014.
The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rentals to be paid by the Sheriff for
noncancelable operating leases as of September 30:
Year Amount
2015 $ 84,943
2016 78,412
2017 75,421
2018 2,861
Total Future Minimum Lease Payments $ 241,637

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Various suits and claims are currently pending against the Sheriff. It is impossible for the Sheriff to
accurately quantify the exposure involved given the jury's latitude in assessing compensatory and
punitive damages, and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The Sheriff intends to vigorously
defend against these lawsuits and believes he has a good chance of prevailing on their merits. In the
opinion of management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these
lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Sheriff.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Deryl Loar
Sheriff
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Sheriff
(the "Sheriff"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, which collectively comprise the
Sheriff's fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Sheriff's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sheriff's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sheriff's
internal control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of
findings and responses as item 2014-001 to be a material weakness.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
responses as item 2014-002 to be a significant deficiency.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Sheriff's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion
on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Indian River County, Florida Sheriff's Response to Findings
The Sheriff's responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and responses. The Sheriff's responses were not subjected to the audit of the
financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Sheriff's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA SHERIFF
® Schedule of Findings and Responses
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
2014-001 - Material Audit Adjustments
Finding Type. Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Criteria. Management is responsible for maintaining its accounting records in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Condition. During our audit, we identified and proposed material adjustments (which were approved and
posted by management) to adjust the Sheriff's accounting records. Also, management identified and
posted many smaller adjustments to a wide variety of funds and accounts throughout the audit process
that collectively had a material effect on the Sheriff's financial reporting process.
Cause. During the past year, the Sheriff's finance department has experienced turnover in staff. These
changes have placed a significant burden on the year-end close process, and has resulted in adjustments
not being posted timely.
Effect. As a result of this condition, the Sheriff's financial information was initially misstated by amounts
that were deemed to be quantitatively material and numerous account balances were not adjusted
timely throughout the year. Correcting entries were subsequently posted by management to the Sheriffs
records and the appropriate balances are presented in the audited financial statements.
Recommendation. Management has already taken appropriate corrective action by posting correcting
journal entries. However, we recommend that the Sheriff critically assess the staffing in its Finance
Department to ensure that there are an appropriate number of qualified/trained individuals available
throughout the year to maintain the Sheriffs books and records in accordance with GAAP.
View of Responsible Officials.
I have instituted procedures which include a system of Internal Controls to insure that Sheriffs Office
books and records are correctly reported in accordance with GAAP. I continually assess the Finance
Section, as I do all departments within the Sheriffs Office, to insure that the staffing is appropriate and
training is continually available to the individuals responsible for keeping accurate and timely accounting
books and records. As your letter indicates, the case of many of the adjustments not being posted timely
was due to unexpected staff turnover.
344
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA SHERIFF
® Schedule of Findings and Responses
For the Year Ended September 30, 2014
2014-002 - Journal Entry Review and Support
Finding Type. Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Criteria. Journal entries represent an area of significant risk in the financial statements. They provide a
mechanism by which financial statements can be altered outside of standard transaction processes. For
this reason, internal control practices require that journal entries be reviewed by someone other than the
individual who prepares and posts the entry.
Condition. Through the audit process, we identified inconsistency in the review and approval of journal
entries. Additionally, source documentation was not consistently housed with the journal entry forms.
Cause. During FY14, there was an initiative toward automation and a more paperless environment.
While these are worthwhile endeavors, the result was that review and approval of journal entries and
maintenance of related documentation were not consistent.
Effect. As a result of this condition, the Sheriff experienced an increased risk that misstatements in the
accounting records, whether caused by error or fraud, would not be detected and corrected on a timely
basis.
Recommendation. We recommend that the Sheriff establish a journal entry approval procedure to
ensure that every journal entry is reviewed and approved prior to posting, and that impacted accounts
are reconciled after posting. Additionally we recommend that the Sheriff create an electronic file where
all journal entries and original source documents are housed.
View of Responsible Officials.
As I indicated above, I have established a system of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting which
includes a process to review and approve journal entries prior to posting in the accounting records. As a
natural evolution of this procedure, not only accounts affected by journal entries, but all relevant general
ledger accounts will be reconciled periodically.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2014
1 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1 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.
1 The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements.
1 A. Description of Funds
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds.
1 Governmental Funds
General Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
1 expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Supervisor of Elections. All financial resources,
which are not accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The
1 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.
1 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
1 recruitment and training.
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
1 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
1 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
1 principles.

Notes To Financial Statements
Year Ended September 30, 2014
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
D. Prepaid Items
Deposits in the governmental funds represent prepayments for services that will be used in future
periods. The Supervisor of Election's policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are
used rather than when the cash is disbursed.
E. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Supervisor of Elections in operations is
reported in the financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for
the capitalization threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.
F. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues reported on the Supervisor of Election's balance sheet represent revenues which are
available but not earned.
G. Compensated Absences
The Supervisor of Elections accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future
absences when certain conditions are met. The Supervisor of Elections does not, nor is she legally
required to, accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation.
Accordingly, the liability for compensated absences is not reported on the Supervisor of Elections'
financial statements. Additional information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 6.
H. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes, all general fund revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end
are owed to the Board of County Commissioners and other governments. This unspent budget totaled
$5,257 and was reported as transfers out. These transfers are also reflected as due to other governments
on the balance sheet.
I. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.

NOTE 2 - CASH
Deposits
At September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the Supervisor of Elections' deposits was $43,975, and
the bank balance was $176,020. All deposits with financial institutions were 100% insured by federal
depository insurance or by collateral provided by qualified public depositories to the State Treasurer in
accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014 was $25.
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 on cash and cash equivalents for the
definition of custodial credit risk.
NOTE 3 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Supervisor of Elections' employees participate in the Florida Retirement System
(FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the
Florida Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory
plan for all members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a
rate based upon each member's employment class (regular class 7.37%, senior class 21.14%, DROP
class 12.28%, and elected official class 43.24%). Employees elect participation in either the defined
benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled
in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of
service, regardless of age. If the employee enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33 years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension
Plan, early retirement is available before reaching normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-
retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For
those employees who elect participation in the Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting
occurs after one year of service. Participants have access to the full value of their vested account balance
when they leave FRS employment, regardless of age. These participants receive a defined contribution
for self-direction in an investment product with a third party administrator selected by the State Board of
Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County -wide note on
pension plans.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Leslie Swan
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections (the "Supervisor of Elections"), as of and for the year ended September 30,
2014, which collectively comprise the Supervisor of Elections' fund financial statements and have
issued our report thereon dated March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Supervisor of
Elections' internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Supervisor of
Elections' internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Supervisor of Elections' internal control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify
any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses., However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Supervisor of Elections' financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing
an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or
other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Supervisor of Elections' internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal
control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of the major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Tax Collector (the "Tax Collector"),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Tax Collector's fund financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
independent Auditors' Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

1 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
I 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
I 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
I
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
I
of the accompanying financial statements.
A. Description of Funds
IThe accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds and a
fiduciary fund.
tGovernmental Fund
IGeneral Fund — The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Tax Collector. All financial resources, which are
Inot accounted for and reported in another fund, are recorded in the General Fund. The governmental
fund measurement focus is based upon determination of financial position and changes in financial
position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income determination.
IFiduciary Fund
I 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
I
Collector's own programs.
I
B. Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis. The fiduciary
I
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
I
and are reflected as liabilities.

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 Items
This account represents prepayments for services that will be used in future periods. The Tax Collector's
policy is to record the expenditure for the services when they are used rather than when the cash is
disbursed.
F. Capital Assets
Acquisitions of equipment are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for governmental fund
financial statements. Tangible personal property used by the Tax Collector in operations is reported in
the financial statements of the County. Refer to the County -wide note on capital assets for capitalization
threshold, depreciation methodology and useful lives.
G. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues represent revenues which are available but not earned. The amount reported on the
Tax Collector's balance sheet of $23,278 represents prepaid vehicle registrations.
H. Compensated Absences
The Tax Collector accrues a liability for employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences
when certain conditions are met. The Tax Collector does not, nor is she legally required to, accumulate
expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation. Accordingly, the liability for
compensated absences is not reported on the Tax Collector's financial statements. Additional
information on the liability is reflected in subsequent Note 7.

$2,093,839 was owed to the Board of County Commissioners and is reported as Transfers to Board of
County Commissioners on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances.
1 J. Fund Balance
GASB Statement 54 — Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Funds Type Definitions was
implemented as of October 1, 2009. This Statement requires the fund balance for governmental funds to
be reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the
government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can
be spent. Categories for fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned. For more information, see the County -wide note on fund balance.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
A. Deposits
1 At September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the Tax Collector's deposits was $5,729,646 and the
bank balance was $5,696,233. 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
1 accordance with Section 280.01, Florida Statutes, also known as the Florida Security for Public Deposits
Act. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014 was $15,500.
B. Investments
The Tax Collector last modified their investment and deposit policy in June 2014. This policy requires
1 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 on cash and cash equivalents for the
definition of custodial credit risk.

of Administration ("SBA"), who provides regulatory oversight. The Florida PRIME has adopted
operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 like fund. The Tax Collector's
investment in the Florida PRIME is reported at amortized cost. The fair value of the positionin the pool
is equal to the value of the pool shares. At September 30, 2014, the Florida PRIME held a rating of
AAAm by Standard and Poor's and had a weighted average days to maturity of 39 days.

NOTE 4 — PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description: The Tax Collector's employees participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a
cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee retirement system, administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services. Effective July 1, 2011, the FRS became a contributory plan for all
members, except DROP participants, whereby members contribute 3% and employers pay a rate based
upon each member's employment class (regular class 7.37%, senior class 21.14%, DROP class 12.28%,
and elected official class 43.24%).
Employees elect participation in either the defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) or the defined
contribution plan (Investment Plan). If the employee enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, normal
retirement is age 62 with 6 years of service or 30 years of service, regardless of age. If the employee
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, normal retirement is age 65 with 8 years of service or 33
years of service, regardless of age. Under the Pension Plan, early retirement is available before reaching
normal retirement age and will be subject to an early-retirement reduction of 5% for each year your age
at retirement is under your normal retirement age. For those employees who elect participation in the
Investment Plan rather than the Pension Plan, vesting occurs after one year of service. Participants have
access to the full value of their vested account balance when they leave FRS employment, regardless of
age. These participants receive a defined contribution for self-direction in an investment product with a
third party administrator selected by the State Board of Administration.
Retirement benefits are determined by age, years of service, the average of the highest 5 or 8 fiscal years
of pay, membership class and the payment option selected at retirement. For further information
concerning the Florida Retirement System and contribution rates, please read the County -wide note on
pension plans.
Employer contributions to the FRS for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014, were
equal to 5.63%, 7.01%, and 11.3% of the annual covered payroll. Employer contributions to the FRS for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 2013, and 2014 were $90,405, $104,670, and $184,421
respectively. Employee contributions for the fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014 were $45,214, $42,441
and $47,465. Both employer and employee contributions were equal to 100% of the required
contribution for each year.
NOTE 5 — OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Tax Collector participated in the Indian River County Other Postemployment Benefits Trust
(IRCOT). The Tax Collector paid their 2014 annual contribution of $82,852 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
March 4, 2015
The Honorable Carole Jean Jordan
Tax Collector
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial statements contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fund financial statements of the
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Indian River County, Florida Tax
Collector (the "Tax Collector"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014, which collectively
comprise the Tax Collector' fund financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
March 4, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Tax Collector'
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector'
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector'
internal control.
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 a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control 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 material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Tax Collector's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and

material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion
on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Tax Collector's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
