To the Citizens of Indian River County :
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Indian River County, Florida for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2002 , is respectfully submitted. This report was prepared by the Finance Department under the
supervision ofthe Clerk ofthe Circuit Court. Responsibility for both the accuracy ofthe presented data and the
completeness and fairness ofthe presentation, including all disclosures , rests with the Finance Department.
This report contains four major sections : the Introductory, the Financial , the Statistical and the Compliance
Sections . The Introductory Section is designed to give the reader ofthe financial report some basic background
information about the County. The Financial Section is divided into ( 1 ) management' s discussion & analysis and
the basic financial statements , and (2) the combining and individual fund financial statements . The Statistical
Section reflects social and economic data, financial trends and the fiscal capacity of Indian River County. The
Compliance Section includes a schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state projects as required by the
Florida Single Audit Act, the U. S . Single Audit Act of 1984, the U . S . Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996
and the U . S . Office of Management and Budget.
The County has prepared the financial statements to meet the requirements of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No . 34 , Basic Financial Statements - and Management 's Discussion and
Analysis -forState and Local Governments (GASB 34) . These statements are significantly different from the
financial statements prepared by the County for previous fiscal years . GASB 34 establishes a new reporting
model that the County has reported in four parts :
1 ) Management' s Discussion andAnalysis - anarrative reportproviding significant information aboutthe County
and how the County' s financial position has changed from September 30 , 200 1 , to September 30 , 2002 , and
the reasons for the change ;
2) Government-wide Financial Statements - financial reports on the governmental and business-type assets,
' liabilities , expenses and revenues ofthe County;
3) Fund Financial Statements - financial reports on the major individual governmental and proprietary funds of
the County, and budgetary comparisons for the County' s general fund and mayor special revenue funds ; and
4) Notes to the Financial Statements .
Indian River County is a Non-Charter County established under the Constitution and the Laws ofthe State of
Florida. This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) includes the funds ofthe primary government
(the Board of County Commissioners , the Clerk ofthe Circuit Court, the Property Appraiser, the Sheriff, the
Supervisor ofElections and the Tax Collector) and the following component units :
The Emergency Services District
The Indian River County Housing Authority
The Solid Waste Disposal District
These entities were included because generally accepted accounting principles require that organizations for
which the County is financially accountable be reported with the primary government (the County) as the
reporting entity. This CAFR does not include the Indian River County School District, the Indian River County
Mosquito Control District or the Indian River County Memorial Hospital .
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Indian River County, established on June 29, 1925 , by an act ofthe Florida Legislature, is on the central Atlantic
coast ofFlorida, approximately 100 miles southeast of Orlando and 135 miles north ofMiami . 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 ofAtlantic
beaches . The City of Vero Beach is the seat of County government, as well as the largest municipality in the
County. Indian River County is the winter home for thousands ofvisitors , spring training grounds ofthe Los
Angeles Dodgers, and home ofthe Disney Resort on Orchid Island . The functional (seasonal plus resident)
population reaches approximately 150,000 . Like the State ofFlorida, the County has experienced significant
population growth. Retail trade and the service industries remain the largest sectors of employment in the County.
Other major sources of j obs are found in government and agriculture . Indian River citrus is a well recognized
name and product throughout the United States and internationally.
Strong growth in the County continued and has provided the County the opportunity to lower tax rates while
still providing a high level of services to County residents and visitors . Property tax values increased 14 . 8% and
the taxable value compared to the total just value ofproperty increased from 75 . 6% to 75 . 9% . Construction
activity in 2002 was strong with 2,257 permits being issued for new construction with a value of$433 . 8 million.
This was an increase of 15 . 6% from last year and sets a new record for annual construction value . Just slightly
less than 18 % ofthe total County acreage is dedicated to citrus production. The County is a major producer
of citrus in the state and produced 19 . 1 million boxes of citrus in 2002 compared to last year' s production of
18 . 0 million boxes . Total employment increased slightly from 42, 815 to 42,952 . However, as did the state and
national annual average unemployment rates, the annual average unemployment rate in the County increased,
rising from 6 . 5 % to 7 . 7% . Population growth, which was averaging about 2 . 15 % per year in the 1990s, was
2 . 1 % in 2002 . Indian River County ' s estimated population for 2002 was 118 , 149.

MAJOR INITIATIVES
Indian River County continued with its overall program of improving the management ofthe County and followed
through on many ofthe activities identified in the previous year. Major accomplishments for the 2001 -2002 fiscal
year (FY 2002) listed below demonstrate what taxpayer dollars were used for in the prior year and sets a
framework for the organization ' s goals for the 2002 -2003 fiscal year (FY 2003 ) .
Fairgrounds Agricultural Arena
The Florida Department ofAgriculture and Consumer Services awarded a $ 391 , 000 grant to Indian River
County for improvements at the Arena. Sandblasting and painting ofthe livestock pavilion for $ 154,000 was
completed in FY 2002 . Construction of a second exhibition building to the south of the current exhibition

iv
North Coun� Regional Park
Construction of the North County Regional Park began in FY 2002 . To date , two grants from the Florida
Recreation Development Assistance Program have been received totaling $350,000 . The park will include
two baseball/softball fields, a playground, walking/nature trail, and two pools . The activity pool will be 7,000
square feet and will include slides for the children. The competition pool will be an olympic stretch pool of 217
feet in length and 75 feet in width, holding 1 ,000, 000 gallons of water. Contracts in the amount of $5 , 590,735
were awarded for engineering services, construction of the pools, and other improvements such as landscap-
ing, construction of a pool building and pool support facilities , and site improvements . A total of $4,647, 565
had been spent by the end of the fiscal year and the pools were substantially completed by the end of the fiscal
year.
Stormwater Improvements
The Roseland Area Stormwater Improvement Project will provide flood control and stormwater quality treat-
ment for a 211 -acre section of the Roseland community. The project includes construction of two stormwater
detention ponds, installation of enlarged culverts, and construction of stormwater conveyance . Design is com-
plete and the construction should start in the FY 2003 . A grant in the amount of $ 185 , 000 has been awarded
by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) .
The Vero Lake Estates Stormwater Project covers an area of 2 , 410 acres and 10 , 000 platted lots . The
1 subdivision does not have adequate stormwater treatment and drainage . The County plans to construct and
convert borrow pits into retention facilities to hold rerouted stormwater for treatment prior to release into the
' Indian River Lagoon. Phase I of the project, which serves as the backbone of the system , was completed
during the FY 2002 . Phase I included drainage canal enhancements, enlargement of one lake and a connection
from that lake to a second lake which was deepened. This project has received funding from SJRWMD in the
amount of $250,000 and the Environmental Protection Agency in the amount of $626, 808 . Phase H and Phase
III, which are in the planning stage, will be stormwater management systems that tie into Phase I .
The East Gifford Area Stormwater Project proposes to construct a 5 -acre stormwater detention pond and
swales at the northwest corner of 41 It
Street and the railroad tracks to provide flood protection, erosion
control and promote health benefits by reducing the amount of stagnant surface water in the area. This project
will reduce flooding in a low-income area where some of the homes have floor elevations below flood levels .
The project has been designed and permits received. Construction of the improvements should start in the FY
2003 . Grant funding in the amount of $ 100,000 has been received from the SJRWMD .
The East Indian River CountyStormwater Management Plan addresses
g stormwater runoff from over 50, 000
' acres of land, including the urban center of Vero Beach. This watershed discharges a tremendous amount of
pollutants directly into a 15 mile-long area of the Indian River Lagoon. The plan is to reduce the pollution by
developing an integrated stormwater treatment, storage, and recharge/reuse system . A master drainage plan is
in development and the project will be subdivided into three different areas . As the plan is implemented, the
project will probably be further subdivided. Grant funding in the amount of $ 120,000 has been committed by
the SJRWMD .

BUDGETPROCESS
The Constitutional Officers submit, atvarious times, to the Board and to certain divisions within the Department
ofRevenue, State ofFlorida, a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October
1 . The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means offinancing them as set forth in Chapter
129 ofthe 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 ofManagement and Budget for assistance, review
and compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all County department, state agencies and non-profit
organizations budgets , and makes his budget recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners on or
before July 15 of each year. The tentative budget includes proposed appropriations and the means offinancing
them.
During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200 .065 , Florida Statutes, in order forthe Board
to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end ofthe 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 .
Computerized integrated budget reports are used for management control purposes throughout the year.
Management is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments in any fund as long
viii
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 ofthe fiscal year.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Readers ofthis report are encouraged to read Management' s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) . The MD&A
provides basic financial information about the County and an overview of the County ' s activities . The
government-wide financial statements , consisting of a statement of net assets and a statement of activities ,
provide a comprehensive financial picture ofthe County, split between governmental activities and business-type
activities . These statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting, where all assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses ofthe County are reported. The fund financial
statements provide information concerning the County' s funds and are prepared from the County ' s accounting
records . The County ' s accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified
accrual basis, with revenues being recorded when available and measurable and expenditures being recorded
when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred. Accounting records for the County ' s
proprietary funds are maintained on the accrual basis . The County operates on a fiscal year (FY) of October
1 to September 30 .
Internal accounting controls for the County are designed to provide reasonable , but not absolute , assurance
regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial
records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets . The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the
evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgements by management.
CashMana eg ment
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 . Surplus funds were invested in direct U . S . government obligations , U . S . agency
obligations , the Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund and the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust Fund. During FY 2002, County investments had yields ranging from 2 . 0% to 7 . 515 % . The
average yield ofthe portfolio as of September 30, 2002 was 4 . 64% .

OTHER INFORMATION
Section 11 .45 , Florida Statutes, requires an annual audit of all County agencies . The County has directed that
the annual audit be more extensive than that required by Florida Statutes by requiring that the annual audit be
a single audit covering all the funds and account groups ofthe County. This requirement has been complied with,
and the unqualified opinion ofthe auditors has been included in this report.
The audit was also designed to meet the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, the Florida Single
Audit Act, the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, and revised OMB
Circular A- 133 .
A comprehensive annual financial report ofthis nature could not have been prepared on a timely basis without
the dedicated efforts of all staff members concerned . 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 dedicated support in planning and conducting the financial operations of
the County in a responsible and progressive manner.

The Honorable County Commissioners and
' Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of Indian River County, Florida
(the "County"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002 , as listed in the table
of
' contents . These basic financial statements are the responsibility of the County' s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States . Those standards
' require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements . An audit also
' includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion .
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the County as of September 30, 2002 , and the results of its
operations and the cash flows of its proprietary funds for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated January
31 ,2003 on our consideration of the County' s internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants . That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our
audit.
The Management ' s Discussion and Analysis on pages three through ten is not a required part of
the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation
of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no
opinion on it .

' Management 's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30 , 2002
Management 's discussion and analysis provides an objective and easily readable analysis of the County ' s
financial activities for the October 1 , 2001 through September 30 , 2002 fiscal year. The analysis provides sum -
' maty financial information for the County and should be read in conjunction with the County's financial statements .
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The County's basic financial statements comprise three components; l ) Government-wide financial statements, 2)
Fund financial statements, and 3 ) Notes to the financial statements . The Government-wide financial statements
present an overall picture of the County's financial position and results of operations . The Fund financial statements
present financial information for the County's major funds . The Notes to the financial statements provide additional
information concerning the County 's finances that are not disclosed in the Government-wide or Fund financial
' statements.
The Government-wide financial statements are the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement ofActivities . These
statements use accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies . Emphasis is placed on the
net assets of governmental activities and business-type activities and the change in net assets . Governmental
Activities are primarily supported by property taxes , sales taxes , federal and state grants, and state shared rev-
enues . Business-type Activities are supported by charges to the users of those activities , such as water and sewer
service charges .
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all assets and liabilities of the County, with the difference
between assets and liabilities reported as net assets . Net assets are reported in three categories ; l ) invested in
' capital assets , net of related debt, 2) restricted, and 3 ) unrestricted. Assets , liabilities , and net assets are reported
for all Governmental Activities separate from the assets , liabilities and net assets of Business-type Activities . In
addition, assets , liabilities , and net assets are reported for the Indian River County Housing Authority, which is
considered a component unit of the County.
The Statement ofActivities presents information on all revenues and expenses of the County and the change in net
assets . Expenses are reported by major function and program revenues relating to those functions are reported,
providing the net cost of all functions provided by the County. To assist in understanding the County's operations ,
expenses have been reported as governmental activities or business-type activities . Governmental Activities fi-
nanced by the County include public safety, transportation, culture and recreation, and general government ser-
vices . Business-type Activities financed by user charges include water and sewer services , solid waste disposal ,
and a golf course . Again, expenses and revenues of the Indian River County Housing Authority are reported
separately from the County's financial information.
Fund financial statements present financial information for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and a fiduciary
fund. These statements provide financial information for the major funds of the County. Governmental fund financial
statements provide information on the current assets and liabilities of the funds, changes in current financial re-
sources (revenues and expenditures), and current available resources . The proprietary funds financial statements
provide information on all assets and liabilities of the funds , changes in the economic resources (revenues and
expenses) , and total economic resources . The fiduciary fund statement provides information concerning assets
held in trust by the County on behalf of others .
3
Indian River County, Florida
Management 's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30 , 2002
Fund financial statements include a balance sheet and a statement of revenues , expenditures , and changes in fund
balances for all governmental funds . A statement of revenues, expenditures , and changes in fund balances - budget
and actual, is provided for the County's General Fund and major special revenue funds. For the proprietary funds,
which includes internal service funds in addition to business-type activities, a statement of net assets ; a statement of
revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net assets ; and a statement of cash flows are presented . A statement of
fiduciary net assets is presented for the County 's agency fund. Fund financial statements provide more detailed
information about the County's activities. Individual funds are established by the County to track revenues that are
restricted to certain uses, comply with legal requirements, or account for the use of State and federal grants .
The government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements provide different pictures of the County.
The government-wide financial statements provide an overall picture of the County's financial standing, split be-
tween Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities . These statements are comparable to private-sector
companies and give a good understanding of the County's overall financial health and how the County paid for the
various activities, or functions, provided by the County. All assets of the County, including buildings, land, roads,
bridges , and traffic signals, are reported in the statement of net assets. All liabilities, including principal outstanding
on bonds, capital leases, and future employee benefits obligated but not paid by the County, are included . The
statement of activities includes depreciation on all long lived assets of the County, but transactions between the
different functions of the County have been eliminated in order to avoid "doubling up" the revenues and expenses .
The fund financial statements provide a picture of the major funds of the County and a column for all non-major
funds . In the case of governmental activities , outlays for long lived assets are reported as expenditures and long-
term liabilities, such as general obligation bonds, are not included in the fund financial statements. To provide a link
from the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements, a reconciliation is provided from
the fund financial statements to the government wide financial statements.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional detail concerning the financial activities and financial balances
of the County. Additional information about the accounting practices of the County, investments of the County,
long-term debt, and pension plans are some of the items included in the notes to the financial statements .

The increase in Governmental Activities current assets, long-teen liabilities and restricted net assets is primarily due
' to the issuance of the Series 2001 General Obligation Bonds ($ 11 million) . The bond proceeds will be used to
acquire environmentally sensitive lands . Governmental Activities capital assets increased due to ongoing construc-
tion of the North County Regional Park, expansion of the Main and North County libraries , roadway improve-
ments to Kings Highway and Jungle Trail , stormwater improvements and renovations to the Dodgertown Com-
plex.
' The increase in Business-type Activities current assets ($4 . 7 million) is primarily due to capital contributions from
developers and home builders for County Utilities . Net assets - invested in capital assets, increased due to acqui-
sitions using capital contributions . Unspent capital contributions are the primary reason that restricted net assets
increased from $26 . 8 million to $31 .2 million.

Indian River County, Florida
Management 's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30 , 2002
' creases in charges for services, sales taxes and state shared revenues . The significant decrease in other revenues is
a direct result of plummeting interest rates, which reduced interest earnings from $ 16 .9 million to $9 . 0 million. Total
expenses increased $ 7 .4 million from the previous year. Increased spending for general government (financial &
' administrative costs, other general government costs), public safety (law enforcement, fire protection, ambulance
services), transportation, and water and sewer services were primarily responsible for the increase in expenses .
Property taxes provide 44% of the revenues for Governmental Activities . Most of the Governmental Activities
resources are spent for Public Safety (45 %) , General Government ( 18 %), Transportation ( 15 %) , and Culture/
Recreation (8%) activities .
As would be expected for Business-type Activities, charges for services provide 70% of the revenues . What is
unusual about the County ' s Business-type Activities is the amount of revenue provided by capital grants and
contributions, nearly 23 % of total revenue . The reason for this is the rapid growth of the County's Utilities System,
adding approximately 3 ,000 new users every year. Major developers are required to provide water distribution
and sewer collection systems for their projects and then must donate those systems to the County. Every new user
is required to pay impact fees , which are used to expand and enhance the system .
FUND FINANCIAL INFORMATION
' Governmental Funds
General Fund
' The County's General Fund is the main operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all financial resources
that are not restricted by State or Federal laws, County Ordinances or other externally imposed requirements . As
of September 30 , 2002 , total assets were $21 , 778 ,206 and total liabilities were $ 3 , 533 ,481 . The ending fund
balance of $ 18 ,244, 725 represents approximately 30% of the budgeted uses of funds for the next fiscal year. Total
sources of funds , $69 , 686 , 953 , exceeded total uses of funds, $68 , 924 , 072, by $ 762 , 881 .
During the fiscal year, the County amended the budget in the amount of$ 1 . 357 million for Federal and State Grants
(primarily mass transit and stormwater grants) approved during the course of the year and in the amount of $327
thousand for charges to other governments for the housing of prisoners . Revenues from taxes exceeded the budget
' because State law requires that the County budget taxes at 95 % of the total levy and actual collections were
96 .2% . The unexpected strength of the local economy caused other locally levied taxes to exceed the budget. The
local economic strength was also responsible for Intergovernmental revenues , such as State shared revenues like
sales taxes and gas taxes , exceeding the budget. Charges for services exceeded the budget due to service fees
collected by the Sheriff, Tax Collector and Property Appraiser. Interest earnings were less than budgeted because
' interest rates were significantly lower than anticipated. Actual expenditures for general government services were
significantly less than the final approved budget due to vacancies in professional positions , staff turnover, and
operating costs of County buildings being less than anticipated. Actual expenditures for public safety were less than
the final approved budget primarily because of lower operating costs for law enforcement and staffturnover at the
corrections facility. Actual expenditures for physical environment were less than budgeted because grant awards
by the County were not made prior to year-end. Actual expenditures for culture/recreation were less than bud-
geted because of delays in opening recreational facilities .

For the Year Ended September 30, 2002
Other Governmental Funds
The Secondary Roads Construction Fund accounts for the use of gas taxes restricted for transportation im -
provements, such as roads, bridges , and right-of-way acquisitions . This year, the County budgeted for all trans-
portation projects that had been approved and where funds had been designated for those projects . Since the
projects frequently take multiple years to complete, actual expenditures will be significantly less than the budget.
The Transportation Fund accounts for the annual maintenance of roads, bridges, right-of-way, drainage systems ,
etc . The County has the legal authority to levy ad valorem taxes for the Transportation Fund but has chosen not to
do so . Instead, the County uses ad valorem taxes collected in the General Fund and then transferred to the
Transportation Fund ,
The Emergency Services District Fund is used to account for the provision of fire and ambulance services
throughout the County. The primary source of funds, 84%, is ad valorem taxes .
The Optional Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the local option one cent sales tax , also referred to as the
infrastructure surtax, and capital grants which use the sales tax as matching funds . County voters approved the one

second series of bonds authorized by voters to acquire environmentally sensitive lands . The first series in the
amount of $ 15 , 000 , 000 was issued in 1995 . The general obligation bonds are backed by ad valorem taxes .
During the year, principal payments of $ 1 ,405 ,000 were made leaving a balance of $ 19 , 8 10 ,000 . On August 15 ,
2001 , the County issued $ 16, 810,000 of revenue backed bonds to acquire the Dodger 's spring training facilities
and make improvements to those facilities . Principal payments of $360,000 were made during the year and as of
September 30, $ 16,450,000 is still outstanding. Since all County bond issues are insured byAAA rated insurance
agencies, the bonds are rated AAA, which is the highest rating given by the rating agencies .

issued to provide funding for the County golf course , Sandridge . Principal payments of $ 360,000 were made

FUTURE FINANCIAL CONDITION
Governmental Activities
For the 2002/2003 fiscal year, an increase in taxable values of 12 .3 % has provided the opportunity to implement
anew County Recreation Department without a significant increase in tax rates . The overall millage rate of 6. 5865
is 3 % less than the millage rate for the 2001 /2002 fiscal year. Additional debt service requirements for the general
obligation bonds necessitated an increase of 46% in the ad valorem tax rate to 0.2839 mills . On February 5 , 2003 ,
the County purchased the Lost Tree Islands for $ 15 , 105 ,000 . The County used $ 12 ,375 , 000 of General Obliga-
tion Bonds, Series 2001 , funds and an interf ind loan of $2 ,730 ,000 .
Business-type Activities
For the 2002/2003 fiscal year, an increase in golf course fees was adopted to ensure financial stability and meet
cash flow needs . Other business-type activities fees were kept at the same rates . Revenues generated by the solid
waste system, utilities system and othe business-type activities will be sufficient to cover their operating costs and
capital needs.

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 the Legislature ,
separating it from St . Lucie County, the County encompasses approximately 497 square miles of land with an
estimated population of 118 , 149 . The County is governed by the Board of County Commissioners and five elected
constitutional officers (Clerk ofthe Circuit Court, PropertyAppraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor ofElections, 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 andArticle 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 . Pronouncements of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued after November 30, 1989 are not applied in the preparation
of the financial statements of the proprietary fund types in accordance with GASB Statement 20 . 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 .
In June 1999 , the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) unanimously approved Statement 34 -
Basic Financial Statements and Management ' s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments .
This Statement provides for the most significant change in financial reporting in over twenty years and is
scheduled for a phased implementation (based on the size of government) starting with the fiscal year ending
2002 . As part of this statement, there is a new reporting requirement regarding the local government ' s
infrastructure (roads , bridges , traffic signals , etc . ) . This requirement permits an optional four-year further delay
for implementation of the infi astructure related portion to the fiscal year ending in 2006. The County has fully implemented
the basic model and the infrastructure-related portion in the FY 2000-2001 .
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

A. Reporting Entity - Continued
iburdens on, the County . The County may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on
the County regardless of whether the organization has (a) a separately elected governing board, (b) a governing
board appointed by a higher level of government, or (c) a jointly appointed board . Based on these criteria,
County management examined all organizations which are legally separate in order to determine which
organizations , if any, should be included in the County ' s financial statements . Management determined that
the Solid Waste Disposal District, the Emergency Services District, and the Indian River County Housing
Authority were the only organizations that should be included in the County ' s financial statements as component
units .
Blended Component Units
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) - Created pursuant to County Ordinance 87-67 , the Board of County
Commissioners serves as the Board for the SWDD and sets the non ad valorem assessment fees for the SWDD .
Although legally separate , the SWDD is appropriately blended as a proprietary fund type (enterprise) component
unit into the primary government.
Emergency Services District (EMS) - Created pursuant to County Ordinance 90 -25 , the Board of County
Commissioners serves as the Board for the EMS and sets the millage rate for the EMS . Although legally
separate , the EMS is appropriately blended as a governmental fund type (special revenue) component unit into
the primary government.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCHA) - Created pursuant to Chapter 421 , Florida Statutes , the
IRCHA, whose Board is appointed by the State of Florida, provides subsidized public housing in accordance
with federal legislation. The County provides the primary funding for the operations of the IRCHA , maintains
budgetary control over the operating costs of the IRCHA , and provides use of certain furniture and equipment
at no charge . Appropriations from the County totaled $ 162 ,005 and the related actual operating costs totaled $ 144, 179
' for the fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropriations in total . Since the IRCHA is fiscally dependent on the
County, it has been reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize that it is
legally separate from the government. The IRCHA is presented as a proprietary fund type .
Separate financial statements for the Solid Waste Disposal District and the Emergency Services District are
not available. Separate financial statements for the Indian River County Housing Authority are available in the administrative
office located at 1028 20th Place , Vero Beach, Florida 32960 .
Because the component units have been reported as if they are part of the County , there are limited instances
where special note reference or separation will be required. If no separate note reference or categorization is made, the
user should assume that information presented is equally applicable .

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B . Measurement Focus And Basis Of Accounting
The basic financial statements of the County are composed of the following :
• Government-wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the financial statements
1 . Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole , except
for its fiduciary activities . These statements include separate columns for the governmental and business -type
activities of the primary government (including its blended component units) , as well as its discreetly presented
component unit. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements .
Governmental activities , which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues , are reported
separately from business -type activities , which rely, to a significant extent, on fees and charges for support .
Likewise , the primary government is reported separately from the legally separate component unit for which
the primary government is financially accountable .
Government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and agency fund financial statements . Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues , expenses , gains , losses , assets , and liabilities resulting from exchange and
exchange -like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place . Revenues , expenses, gains , losses ,
assets , and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements
of GASB Statement 33 - Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions .
Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments , and payments made by parties outside of
the reporting government ' s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program . Program revenues are
netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program .
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements ,
rather than reported as an expenditure . Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities 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 "dou-
bling up" effect.

t2 . Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the County is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds , each
of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity . The operations of each fund are accounted for with a
separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets , liabilities , fund equity, revenues and expenditures
or expenses , as appropriate . Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds
based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled .
Fund financial statements for the primary government ' s governmental , proprietary, and fiduciary funds are
presented after the government-wide financial statements . These statements display information about major
funds individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds . The fiduciary
statement includes financial information for the agency fund. The agency fund of the County primarily represents
assets held by the County in a custodial capacity for other individuals or governments .
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 40 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally
are recorded when a liability is incurred , as under accrual accounting . Franchise fees , licenses , 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 County.
Under the current financial resources measurement focus , onlycurrent assets and current liabilities are generally
g Y
' included on the balance sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable
resources " . Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets . Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period .
Non-current portions of long-term receivables (special assessments) due to governmental funds are reported on their
balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus .
Non-current portions of other long-term receivables are offset by fund balance reserve accounts .

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B . Measurement Focus And Basis Of Accounting - Continued
Because of their spending measurement focus , expenditure recognition for governmental fund types exclude
amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities . Since they do not affect net current assets , such long-term amounts
are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities .
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. . However, debt service expenditures , as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
and claims and judgements , are recorded only when payment is due .
Proprietary Funds
The County ' s enterprise funds and internal service funds are proprietary funds . In the fund financial statements ,
proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting . Revenues are recognized when they are
earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered . In the fund financial
statements , proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus . This means that
all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their
balance sheets . Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses)
in total net assets . The Board applies all GASB pronouncements as well as all FASB Statements and
Interpretations , APB Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins , issued on or before November 30, 1989 ,
which do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements .
Proprietary fund operating revenues , such as charges for services , result from exchange transactions associated
with the principal activity of the fund . Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives
up essentially equal values . Nonoperating 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 expenditure . 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 .
C . Basis of Presentation
GASB Statement 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets , liabilities , revenues or expenditures/
expenses of either fund category and the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of
major funds . The County has used GASB 34 minimum criteria for major fund determination and has also
electively disclosed funds which either had debt outstanding or specific community focus as major funds . The non-
major funds are combined in a column in the fund financial statements and detailed in the combining section.

GASB Statement 34 requires non-current governmental assets , such as land and buildings , and non-current
governmental liabilities, such as general obligation bonds and capital leases , be reported in the governmental
activities column in the government-wide statement of net assets .
D. Assets, Liabilities , and Net Assets or Equity
1 . Cash and Cash Equivalents
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 investments 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 .

contract, the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment Pool (Pool) and the Florida Local
Government Investment Trust Fund (Trust) . Except for the Pool and the Trust, investments are reported at their

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 .
Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased .
6. Restricted Assets
Certain net assets of the County are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net assets because their use is
limited either by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; or by restrictions imposed externally by
creditors , grantors , contributors , or laws or regulations of other governments . In a fund with both restricted and
unrestricted asstes, qualified expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted net assets and then from unrestricted
net assets .
7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e . g . , roads, bridges, right-of-ways ,
water and sewer distribution systems and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities column in the government-wide financial statements . Capital assets are defined by the County as assets with
an initial , individual cost of $ 750 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 donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its
useful life are not capitalized .
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed . Interest incurred
during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of the capitalized
value of the assets constructed .
The Board holds legal title to the capital assets used in the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit Court ,
Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector, and is accountable for them under Florida Law .
The Sheriff is accountable for and thus maintains capital asset records pertaining only to equipment used in his operations .

Fund .
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 nonoperating revenues and expenses
on the statement of revenues , expenses , and changes in fund assets in accordance with GASB Statement 33 .

B . Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating Statements and the State-
ment of Activities
The net change in fund balances" for governmental funds ($ 11 ,035 ,866) differs from the "change in net assets" for
governmental activities ($22,674,468) 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 ofthe differences is illustrated below.
Capital related items
When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the resources ex-
pended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in the statement of activities, the
costs of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense . As a result,
fund balances decrease by the amount of financial resources expended, whereas net assets decrease by the amount of
depreciation expense charged for the year.
Capital outlay $ 30,270 , 897
Depreciation expense (7, 655 , 599)
Difference $ 22 ,615 ,298
In the statement of activities , only the gain and loss on the sale of capital assets are reported. However, in the govern-
mental funds , the proceeds from the sale increase financial resources . Thus, the change in net assets differs from the
change in fund balance by the cost of the capital assets sold.
Sale of fixed assets $ ( 1 , 996 ,218 )
Contributions reported in the statement of activities do not provide current financial resources , therefore , are not
reported as revenues in the governmental funds .
Contributions $ 15220,001
Long-term debt transactions
In the statement of activities, debt and capital lease proceeds increase long-term liabilities. However, in the governmen-
tal funds, debt and capital lease proceeds are treated as other financing sources since they provide current financial
resources to governmental funds .
Debt proceeds $( 11 ,000 ,000)
Capital lease proceeds (275 , 000)
Net adjustment $( 112275 ,000)
Repayments of bond principal and capital lease principal 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
principal payments reduce the liabilities in the statement of net assets and do not result in an expense in the statement of
activities.
Bond principal payments made $ 137655000
Capital lease principal payments made 4649201

NOTE 3 = STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE , AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The County uses the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements :
( 1 ) The constitutional officers submit, at various times , to the Board and to certain divisions within the
Department of Revenue , State of Florida, a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing
the following October 1 . The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them , as set forth in Chapter 129 of the Florida Statutes .
(2) The Department of Revenue , State of Florida, has the final authority on the operating budgets for the Tax
Collector and the Property Appraiser included in the General Fund .
(3 ) Constitutional officers , all departments controlled by the Board, and outside state and local agencies
submit their proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for assistance , review and
compilation. The County Administrator then reviews all County departments, state agencies and nonprofit
organization ' s budgets and makes his budget recommendation to the Board .
(4) On or before July 15 of each year, the County Administrator and the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget, as the Board ' s designated budget officer, submit to the Board a tentative budget for the
ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them . The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by fund on a departmental level .
(5 ) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200 . 065 of the Florida Statutes in
order for the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public
hearing, the Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt the budgets at the fund level for all 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 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.

Treasurer pursuant to the Public Depository Security Act of the State of Florida. 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

$ 15 , 382 in a certificate of deposit that will mature in May, 2003 with an interest rate of 1 . 85 % .

Florida Statutes , the County ' s Investment Policy, and various bond covenants authorize investments in certifi -
cates of deposit, money market accounts , savings accounts , repurchase agreements , the Local Government
Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the Florida State Board of Administration, Florida Local Govern-
ment Investment Trust Fund, obligations of the U . S . Government, obligations of government agencies uncon-
ditionally guaranteed by the U . S . Government, obligations of the Federal Farm Credit Banks , obligations of
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, including Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation partici -
pation certificates , obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank, obligations of the Government National Mort-
gage Association, obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association and securities of any management
type investment company or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 , 15 U . S . C .
ss . 80a4 et seq . , provided the portfolio is limited to U . S . Government obligations and to repurchase agree-
ments fully collateralized by U . S . Government obligations . The County invested in only these types of instru-
ments during the fiscal year.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles , the County ' s investments are categorized in the
following schedule to give an indication of the level of custodial credit risk assumed at year end . Category 1
includes investments that are insured or registered, or for which the securities are held by the County or its
agent in the County 's name . Investments in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund, the Florida Local Gov-
ernment Investment Trust Fund, money market accounts and guaranteed investment contract are not categorized since
the investments are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form .
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment Pool (Pool) is a "2a- 7" like pool , and therefore ,
the County ' s account balance is used for fair value reporting . All units of local government in Florida are
eligible , but not required, to participate in the Pool . In addition to a variety of fixed coupon investments , the
Pool also purchases floating rate and adjustable rate securities . These floating rate and adjustable rate securi -
ties are used to hedge against interest rate risk and provide diversification to the portfolio . The floating rate and
adjustable rate securities all float relative to prevailing short-term interest rates such as LIBOR, Prime , or Fed
Funds rates . On September 30 , 2002 , the Pool held floating rate securities , either directly or as invested securities
lending collateral, at a fair value of $ 1 ,395 ,418 , 000 . The Pool also participates insecurities lending programs . As of
September 30 , 2002 , the collateral held by the Pool, $4,207,209 ,480 in cash and $ 14,467, 338 in U . S . Government
securities, exceeded the fair value of the securities underlying the agreements. As of September 30, 2002, the Pool had
811 local government participants with total investments of approximately $ 13 . 95 billion. The portfolio 's average
maturity was 63 days .
The Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund (Trust) is a professionally managed fund available only
to public entities in Florida. The investment policy of the Trust restricts investments to direct obligations of or
securities fully guaranteed by the United States ; obligations of certain federal agencies , including collateral-
ized mortgage obligations ; repurchase agreements ; corporate bonds ; and commercial paper. As of September 30 ,
2002 , the Trust had investments , at fair value, of approximately $452 . 3 million. Of the total investments in the Trust,
26 . 28 % was invested in asset backed securities and 8 . 81 % was invested in adjustable rate mortgages .

' NOTE 13 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS
The SWDD annually obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure and post-closure costs from
I
ts consulting engineers . The provision for closure costs reported in the financial statements as operating ex-
pense 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 attributable to the currently active landfill areas ( Seg-
ment II, C & D) are approximately $ 3 . 55 million. These costs will be recognized in future periods as the remaining
capacity is filled. This landfill area is expected to close in three phases . The first phase was closed in 1998 , the second
phase is scheduled in the year 2005 , and the third phase in the year 2008 . To date , 64% of the Segment 11 and 58 %
of the C & D landfill capacities have been filled.
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, 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 , and has done so by fulfilling the requirements of the financial test provision of the regulation. At
the same time , the SWDD is making annual deposits to a closure and post-closure cost account to provide for
the financing of future closure -related expenditures . The balance in the account for inactive and active landfill
areas as of September 30 , 2002 was $6 , 775 , 168 .

NOTE 18 - RISK MANAGEMENT
General Liability, Property and Worker ' s Compensation
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 . During a previous fiscal year, the County
established a fund to account for risk management called the Self Insurance Fund (an internal service fund) .
The risk management program began on November 1 , 1988 , and has provided coverage for the County as
follows :
11 /1 /88 10/1 /89- 10/1 /92- 10/1 /94-
10/1 /89 10/1 /92 10/1 /94 Present

Annual Aggregate 600 , 000 1 , 000 , 000 190005000 - 1 , 000 ,000
The County purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the fund and for all
other risks of loss . The County has not incurred any settlements in excess of the insurance coverage in the past
three fiscal years . All departments of the County participate in the program . Payments are made by various
funds to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actual estimates of the amounts needed to pay
current year claims .
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 up to $ 125 , 000 per individual , per year, and has purchased a
reinsurance policy to cover claims in excess of this amount. There were no claims in excess of this limit for the 2000,
2001 , and 2002 fiscal years .
The claims liability of$4,261 ,000 reported at September 30, 2002, 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 .

mined and at September 30 , 2002 , retained earnings of $2,251 , 192 has been designated for this purpose . The County
has elected to accrue the larger of the discounted liability or undiscounted liability. At September 30 , 2002 , the
' undiscounted liability was the greater of the two amounts . The discount rate used in the calculation was four percent.
' NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Litigation
' Various suits and claims are currently pending against the County. It is impossible for the County to accu-
rately quantify the exposure involved given the jury ' s latitude in assessing compensatory and punitive dam -
ages , 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 .

Report on Compliance pLance and on Internal Control over Financial
' Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
i
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
' Indian River County, Florida
' We have audited the basic financial statements of Indian River County, Florida as of and for the year
ended
September 30, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated January 31 , 2003 . 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.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Indian River County, Florida ' s financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and
contracts, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial
statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Indian River County, Florida 's internal control over
financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration
of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
' misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and
not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses .
This report is intended solely for the information of the Board of County Commissioners, management, federal and
state awarding agencies, pass-through entities and the Auditor General of the State of Florida and is not intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Chapter 10. 550, Rules of the Auditor General 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 procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the Indian
River County, Florida ' s compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the Indian River County, Florida complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to
above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30,
2002 .
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the Indian River County, Florida is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal
programs and state projects. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Indian River County, Florida 's
internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal
program or state project in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A- 133 and
Chapter 10.550 , Rules of the Auditor General.

' Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of
one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance
with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major
' federal program or state project being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions . We noted no matters involving the internal control over
compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Year Ended September 30 , 2002
' NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
' The Board of County Commissioners (the "Board") is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursu-
ant to Article VIII, Section 1 (e ) of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and report-
ing 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 . Since the
County has implemented GASB Statement No 34 "Basic Financial Statements -and Management ' s Discussion
and Analysis -for State and Local Governments" , the format of the Board ' s statements have 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. 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 , be-
cause of the closeness of their relationship with the Board, should be blended as though they are part of the
Board . Otherwise , most component units should be discretely presented . As required by generally accepted
accounting principles , the financial reporting entity consists of ( 1 ) the primary government (the Board) , (2)
' organizations for which the Board is financially accountable , and (3 ) other organizations for which the nature
and significance of their relationship with the Board are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity ' s
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete . The Board is financially accountable if it appoints a
' voting majority of the organization ' s governing body and (a) it is able to impose its will on that organization or
(b) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to , or impose specific financial
burdens on, the Board. The Board may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on
' the Board regardless of whether the organization has (a) a separately elected governing board, (b) a governing
board appointed by a higher level of government, or (c) a jointly appointed board . Based on these criteria,
' Board management examined all organizations which are legally separate in order to determine which organi-
zations , if any, should be included in the Board ' s financial statements . Management determined that the Solid
Waste Disposal District and the Emergency Services District were the only organizations that should be included in the
Board 's financial statements as component units .
Blended Component Units
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) - Created pursuant to County Ordinance 87- 67, the Board of County
Commissioners serves as the Board for the SWDD and sets the non ad valorem assessment fees for the SWDD .
' Although legally separate , the SWDD is appropriately blended as a proprietary fund type (enterprise) component
unit into the primary government.

A. Reporting Entity - Continued
Emergency Services District (EMS) - Created pursuant to County Ordinance 90-25 , the Board of County
Commissioners serves as the Board for the EMS and sets the millage rate for ' the EMS . Although legally
separate , the EMS is appropriately blended as a governmental fund type (special revenue) component unit into
the primary government .
B . Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the Board is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which
is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of
self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities , fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as
appropriate . Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes
for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the Board's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented. Governmental
accounting standards set forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses
of either fund category and the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds . These
statements display information about major funds individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental
and enterprise funds . The Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets presents assets held by the Board in a custodial capacity
for other individuals or organizations .
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are considered to be paid
first from restricted resources , and then from unrestricted resources .
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 collectible 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 40 days after the end of the current fiscal period . Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting . Franchise fees , licenses , 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 .

' NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
' B . Fund Financial Statements - Continued
Under the current financial resources measurement focus , only current assets and current liabilities are generally
' included on the balance sheet . The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable
resources " . Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets . Accordingly, they are said to
' present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period .
Non-current portions of long-term receivables (special assessments) due to governmental funds are reported
' on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus .
' Non-current portions of other long-term receivables are offset by fund balance reserve accounts .
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. However, debt service expenditures , as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
' and claims and judgements , are recorded only when payment is due .
Proprietary Funds
The County ' s enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds . In the fund financial statements ,
proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting . Revenues are recognized when they are
' earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered . In the fund financial
statements , proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus . This means that
all assets and all liabilities (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included on their
balance sheets . Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses)
in total net assets . The Board applies all GASB pronouncements as well as all FASB Statements and
' Interpretations , APB Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins , issued on or before November 30 , 1989 ,
which do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements .
' Proprietary fund operating revenues , such as charges for services , result from exchange transactions associated
with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives
up essentially equal values . Non-operating revenues , such as subsidies , taxes , and investment earnings result
' from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities .
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the fund financial statements , rather than
reported as an expenditure . 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 .

Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds account for Fleet Management and Self Insurance services
provided to other departments of the County on a cost reimbursement basis .
' Agency Fund - The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held in a custodial capacity on behalf of other
p ty
governments and individuals .
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Board 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 Board 's funds and are therefore reported as investments on these statements .
D. Investments
1 Investments consist of U . S . Treasury Securities , U . S . Government Agency Securities , a guaranteed invest-
ment contract, the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment Pool and the Florida Local Government
Investment Trust Fund. Investments are reported at fair value in the balance sheet.
' E . Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Board provides an allowance for water and sewer accounts receivable that may become uncollectable . At Sep-
tember 30, 2002, this allowance was $256, 594 . No other allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained since other
accounts receivable are considered collectible as reported at September 30 , 2002 .
' F. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the "first-in, first-out" method of accounting .
' Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased .

G . Capital Assets
Capital assets , which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e . g . , roads , bridges, right of
ways , water and sewer distribution systems and similar items), are defined by the County as assets with an initial,
individual cost of $ 750 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 donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend its useful lives 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 enterprise fund activities is included as part of the capitalized
value of the assets constructed .
The Board holds legal title for the capital assets used in the operations of the Board, Clerk of the Circuit Court,
Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector, and is accountable for them under Florida Law. Capital
assets used by the Board's governmental funds are reported in the financial statements of the County. Capital assets of
the Board 's enterprise and internal service funds are reported in the Proprietary Funds financial statements .
Property, plant, and equipment of the Board 's enterprise and internal service funds, as well as the Solid Waste Disposal
District, are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives :
Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 25 - 50
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10
Utility distribution systems 25 - 50
H. 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.
I. Unamortized Bond Costs
Bond issuance costs and legal fees associated with the issuance of Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amor-
tized over the life of the bonds using the straight- line method of accounting .

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
' J. Unamortized Bond Discounts
Bond discounts associated with the issuance of Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amortized according to the
interest method, which results in a constant rate of interest being applied to the amount outstanding at any
given time . For financial reporting , unamortized bond discounts are netted against the applicable long-term
debt.
' K. Intangible Assets
Land use rights were purchased by the County Utilities Fund from the Golf Course Fund for irrigating the golf
course with treated effluent. Leachate disposal rights were purchased by the Solid Waste Disposal District
Fund from the County Utilities Fund for removal and transportation of leachate from the County landfill to the
sewer system . These assets are being amortized using the straight- line method over the estimated useful life of
20 years .
L . Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues reported in applicable Governmental Fund Types represent unearned revenues or revenues
which are measurable but not available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting , are
reported as deferred revenues . The deferred revenues will be recognized as revenue in the fiscal year they are
' earned or become available .
M. Accrued Compensated Absences
' The Board records compensated absences in the Governmental Fund Types as an expenditure for the amount
accrued during the year that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial resources . The
' liability is reported in the financial statements of the County . Proprietary Fund Types accrue compensated
absences in the period they are earned .
' N. 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, 2002 .
' O . Landfill Closure Costs
Under the terms of current state and federal regulations , the Solid Waste Disposal District ( S WDD) 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 . Re -
' quired obligations for closure and post-closure costs are recognized in the Solid Waste Disposal District Enter-
prise Fund .

P. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The Board uses the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial state-
ments :
( 1 ) The constitutional officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to certain divisions within the Department of
Revenue, State of Florida, a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 .
The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them, as set forth in Chapter
129 of the Florida Statutes .
(2) The Department of Revenue , State of Florida, has the final authority on the operating budgets for the Tax
Collector and the Property Appraiser included in the General Fund .
(3 ) Constitutional officers, all departments controlled by the Board, and outside state and local agencies submit their
proposed budgets to the Office of Management and Budget for assistance, review and compilation. The County
Administrator then reviews all County departments, state agencies, and nonprofit organization 's budgets and
makes his budget recommendation to the Board.
(4) On or before July 15 of each year, the County Administrator and the Director of the Office of Manage-
ment 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 .
(5) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200 . 065 of the Florida Statutes in order
for the Board to receive public input on the tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing, the
Board enacts ordinances to legally adopt the budgets at the fund level for all governmental and propri -
etary 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 govern-
mental 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 appropria-
tions 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.

ment Investment Trust Fund, obligations of the U . S . Government, obligations of government agencies uncon-

ss . 80a- 1 et seq . , provided the portfolio is limited to U. S . Government obligations and to repurchase agree-
ments fully collateralized by U. S . Government obligations . The Board invested in only these types of instru-
ments during the fiscal year.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles , the Board ' s investments are categorized in the
following schedule to give an indication of the level of custodial credit risk assumed at year-end . Category 1
includes investments that are insured or registered, or for which the securities are held by the Board or its agent
in the Board ' s name . U . S Treasury Securities and U . S . Government Agencies are held in safekeeping by the
Board ' s agent in the Board ' s name . Investments in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund, the
Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund, money market accounts and guaranteed investment con-
tract are not categorized since the investments are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book
entry form .
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment Pool (Pool) is a "2a-7" like pool, and therefore ,
the County ' s account balance is used for fair value reporting. All units of local government in Florida are
eligible, but not required, to participate in the Pool . In addition to a variety of fixed coupon investments , the
Pool also purchases floating rate and adjustable rate securities . These floating rate and adjustable rate securi-
ties are used to hedge against interest rate risk and provide diversification to the portfolio . The floating rate and
adjustable rate securities all float relative to prevailing short-term interest rates such as LIBOR, Prime , or Fed
Funds rates . On September 30, 2002 , the Pool held floating rate securities , either directly or as invested securities
lending collateral, at a fair value of $ 1 ,395 ,418 ,000 . The Pool also participates insecurities lending programs . As of
September 30 , 2002, the collateral held by the Pool, $4,207,209,480 in cash and $ 14,467,338 in U . S . Government
securities, exceeded the fair value of the securities underlying the agreements . As of September 30, 2002, the Pool had
811 local government participants with total investments of approximately $ 13 . 95 billion. The portfolio 's average
maturity was 63 days .
The Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund (Trust) is a professionally managed fund available only
to public entities in Florida. The investment policy of the Trust restricts investments to direct obligations of or
securities fully guaranteed by the United States ; obligations of certain federal agencies , including collateral -
ized mortgage obligations ; repurchase agreements ; corporate bonds ; and commercial paper. As of September 30,
2002 , the Trust had investments, at fair value , of approximately $452 . 3 million. Of the total investments in the Trust,
26 . 28 % was invested in asset backed securities and 8 . 81 % was invested in adjustable rate mortgages .

From 1986 until 1999, Indian River County issued Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to private-
sector entities for the acquisition, construction and equipping of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in the
public interest. These facilities included a nursing home, an expanded processing facility, a manufacturing facility, and an
educational facility, for a total of four series of Industrial Revenue Bonds . The bonds are secured by the property
financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans . Upon repayment of the
bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the private-sector entity served by the bond issuance. Neither
the County, the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the
bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

' NOTE 11 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS
Current regulations of the U . S . Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Envi-
ronmental 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 recognizes the
expenses associated with the final closure and post-closure maintenance of the landfill areas over the active life
of those areas . These costs are recognized in each operating period based on the amount of capacity used
during that period, regardless of when cash disbursements are made for these costs .
' The SWDD annually obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure and post-closure costs from
its consulting engineers . The provision for closure costs reported in the financial statements as operating ex-
pense 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 attributable to the currently active landfill areas (Seg-
ment Il, C & D) are approximately $3 . 55 million. These costs will be recognized in future periods as the remaining
capacity is filled. This landfill area is expected to close in three phases . The first phase was closed in 1998 , the second
' phase is scheduled in the year 2005 , and the third phase in the year 2008 . To date , 64% of the landfill capacity has
been filled.

NOTE 11 - PROVISION FOR CLOSURE COSTS - Continued
All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and post-closure functions in
current dollars . Actual costs may be different due to inflation, 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 , and has done so by fulfilling the requirements of the financial test provision of the regulation. At
the same time, the S WDD is making annual deposits to a closure and post-closure cost account to provide for
the financing of future closure-related expenditures . The balance in the account for inactive and active landfill
areas as of September 30 , 2002 was $ 6, 775 , 168 .

to accrue the larger of the discounted liability or undiscounted liability. At September 30, 2002 , the undiscounted
Iiability was the greater of the two amounts . The discount rate used in the calculation was four percent.
NOTE 18 - 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 .

Report on Compliance and on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the basic financial statements of Indian River County, Florida including the fund financial
statements of the Board of County Commissioners, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002 , and issued our
report thereon dated January 31 , 2003 . 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.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board of County Commissioner ' s fund financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations and contracts, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of
financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Board of County Commissioner' s internal control over
financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
fund financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our
consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions . We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended for the information of management, the Board of County Commissioners, and the Auditor
General of the State of Florida. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

Attn . : Sarah Hansard, Lead Auditor
RE : Response to Management Comments for :
Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2002
To Ms . Hansard,
The following are our responses to the Management Comments resulting from your audit of the
Department of Utility Services as they relate to the general -purpose financial statements of' Indian River
County for the year ending September 30 , 2002 .
' We thank your staff in expanding our knowledge of auditing procedure practices and look forward to
implementing several of the recommendations brought forward in your evaluation of our finance
practices . There is always opportunity for improvements and we readily accept your ideas . The
following is the Departments response to written comments from your office in the order they were
presented in your letter .
a.) Irrigation Fees: During the current year, we noted certain instances where the monthly charges
for irrigation usage were incorrectly coded. We recommend that Utilities Department review, on a
regular basis, the various fee coding set up for billing to ensure established rates are being
' charged We also recommend that any refunds or adjustments relating to these items be made
accordingly.
i . ) Response : We concur with your observation . The rates and charges instituted in October
1999 included irrigation accounts . There are forty-four (44) specific irrigation accounts that
were not properly coded to reflect the most recent billing rates . As a result of this , these
forty- four customers were placed at a higher usage rate ( surcharge ) resulting in higher
monthly billing charges than should have been imposed . This only affected the irrigation
accounts wherein monthly invoices are strictly related to water consumption for the purpose
of landscape irrigation and does not impact the sewer system .
ii . ) Based on the Auditor ' s comments , staff has reviewed each of the specific irrigation
customers and has instituted a credit for each one . Letters have been forwarded to these
individual customers noting the cause and amount of each respective credit . These credits
have been applied toward the customer ' s outstanding balance .
iii . ) Corrective Action : The Utilities Department will conduct quarterly reviews of various
customer accounts to assure charges and fees are being properly applied . These accounts
(residential , commercial , irrigation , etc . ) will be selected at random and audited for quality
assurance .
b.) Computer Software Implementation : Based on the upcoming software implementation we
t recommend that the Utilities Department employ accounting staff as well as information
technology staff to assure that in the software conversion, all balances reconcile between the
' parallel computer systems. These balances should be reconciled daily to ensure the conversion 1s
251
Page I of 2
11V Nrrn N TTS r, n r . .�, ,,.... �N < < .,� CP VOn . Mir nu ,nnI DRAFT Inc
working effectively and accurately. All problems should be resolved timely and all standard
reporting information obtained in the prior system should continue to be provided with the new
software.
i . ) Response : With respect to additional accounting staff we offer the following . The
Department realizes the benefits of having an onsite Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an
equivalent individual to monitor and track the Department ' s financials . A qualified CPA has
the ability to institute protocols and procedures commensurate to the review practices in place
by independent Auditors . The same CPA should have sufficient foresight to institute
predictive financial measures to assure accurate reporting.
ii .) Corrective Action : The Utilities Department is moving forward on re-designating the duties
assigned to staff to better serve auditing needs and comments . Items such as monthly
reconciliation ' s , account balances, capital expenditures, fixed asset monitoring & control , can
be improved given sufficient resources . The job description qualification assigned to the
current Controller will be quantified to include CPA certification in the State of Florida .
C.) Computer Software Implementation : Based on the upcoming software implementation we
recommend that the Utilities Department employ accounting staff as well as information
teehnolo V staff to assure that in the software conversion, et al,
i . ) Response : With respect to Information Technology ( IT) needs we offer the following . The
Department has relied upon outside professional services and consultants to address
programming needs . Resources have been committed from County staff and outside
consultant assistance is available to assist in the conversion . In-house data processing staff
and the Customer Service/Billing Supervisor along with an outside programmer are making
progress in converting the utility database from the outgoing AS/400 system to the MUNIS
software system. As the MUNIS system moves forward in the next fiscal years , the need for
more technical assistance may require full-time in -house support. The need to employ a full
time IT staff could then be considered and if justified, presented to the Board of County
Commissioners during the Budget cycle for consideration . On a short-term basis , the
Department will be presenting for Budget consideration the concept of sharing the
employment costs associated with retaining a full-time Countywide Information Technology
Specialist that would better serve all Department needs .
ii .) Corrective Action : The Utilities Department will monitor the progress made during the
conversion process and apply additional resources if necessary to assure all balances
reconcile between the parallel computer systems .
We wish to commend your firm on the thoroughness and professionalism displayed during the
engagement. We welcome your input, feedback and attempts to assist our Department in improving
Utility operations and accountability . We have committed time and resources to improving our current
and future practice and look forward to improving our evaluation in the upcoming audit year .

Re : General Management Comment –
Information Technology and Internal Control
Dear Reader:
Please find below our responses to the management comments resulting from your audit of the
general purpose financial statements of Indian River County for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2002 ,
Information Technology and Internal Control
We are taking measures to ensure the security of the server room . Access will be limited to
appropriate personnel—primarily Computer Services employees . A new solid core door
with security locks will be installed to prevent unauthorized access to this area.
The network server is backed up on tape nightly. Currently, a rolling one-month history is
provided with the use of six (6) backup tapes . Each night, the oldest data is overwritten
with the backup of the current day' s data. In the future, a tape with the most current data
will be taken to storage off-site on a weekly basis . This will provide backup data off-site
that is no more than five days old.
Thank you for your forward-looking approach in addressing the issue of security and
internal controls on the Munis software system. As you are aware, the County began
recording financial transactions on this system at the beginning of the 2002/03 fiscal year.
We are deploying a policy to address internal controls on the new software. Due to the
limited staffing of our Computer Services Department, it is difficult to segregate the duties
of network personnel from financial application personnel completely. However, we are
limiting the number of Computer Services employees that have authority on the financial
application. The two employees who will continue to have permissions on the financial
application will be monitored as a system of cross-checking.
Due to limited County staffing and resources , it is not practical to have two separate
computer services departments—one for serving as the County network administrator and
one for serving as the Munis system administrator—to meet the recommendation for
' 253
addressing this issue. Computer Services employees will not post any financial
transactions to the system without these transactions being approved by other staff
members . The software system records a detailed audit trail of users who initiate and
approve each financial transaction. County staff does not have the ability to edit or delete
this audit trail for any transaction. We are working diligently to ensure that proper internal
controls and segregation of duties are maintained in this area.
County staff is currently working on a Policy/Procedure/Network manual for proper
documentation and control of information technology. This document will address security
of financial data, documentation of transactions, and internal controls relating to
information technology throughout the organization.
We wish to commend your firm on the thoroughness and professionalism displayed throughout
this audit. Thank you for identifying this area of concern.
Sincerely,
Jason own

Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements Prepared in Compliance With a
Regulatory Provision That Results in an Incomplete Presentation But One That is
Otherwise in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Honorable Jeffrey K. Barton
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying fund financial statements of Indian River County, Florida, Clerk of
the Circuit Court as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 , as listed in the table of contents .
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Circuit Court ' s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit .
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the. standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States . Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the fund financial statements are free of material misstatement . An
audit includes examining, on a test basis , evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the fund
financial statements . An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 , the accompanying fund financial statements referred to above present fairly only
the financial position of the Clerk of the Circuit Court at September 30 , 2002 , and the results
of
operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles .
In our opinion, the fund financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Clerk of the Circuit Court as of September 30 , 2002, and the results of operations
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles .
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards we have also issued a report dated January 31 , 2003

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Clerk of the Circuit Court is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article 8 , Section 1 (d),
of the Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes , the Clerk of the Circuit
Court does not meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not considered to be a component unit. The
Clerk of the Circuit Court is considered to be a part of the primary government of Indian River County. The financial
statements contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Clerk of the Circuit Court only. Since the County
has implemented GASB Statement No 34 "Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and Analysis-
for State and Local Governments " , the format of the Clerk of the Circuit Court 's statements has been prepared in
accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements .
' The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements .
A. Description of Funds
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds and a fiduciary fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Clerk of the Circuit Court which are not accounted for
' in another fund . All general operating revenues which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside
sources are recorded in the General Fund. The governmental fund measurement focus is upon determination of
financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon
net income determination.
Public Records Modernization Fund - The Public Records Modernization Fund accounts for the proceeds from
recording fees to be used for modernizing the Clerk ofthe Circuit Court's public records systems .
Fiduciary Fund
Agency Fund — The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in a trustee
capacity or as an agent .
1 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 and revenues are recorded when received in cash or
when they are considered both measurable and available and as such, are susceptible to accrual . To the extent that
revenues exceed expenditures they are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities . The fiduciary fund is
accounted for on the accrual basis .

C. Budgetary Requirements
z
State statutes require the Clerk to prepare his budget in two parts , the budget relating to the state court system ,
including recording; and the budget relating to the requirements ofthe Clerk as clerk to the Board of County Commis-
sioners, County auditor, and custodian of all County funds and other County-related duties . The budget relating to the
state court system , including recording, is prepared and adopted by the Clerk prior to September 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 by the Board, modified as required by the Board, and approved by the Board.
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. Clerk approval is only required when unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have
appropriated, thereby increasing 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 . Capital Assets
Tangible personal property used by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in operations is reported in the financial statements
of the County.
F. Compensated Absences
The Clerk of the Circuit Court accrues a liability for employees ' rights to receive compensation for future
absences when certain conditions are met . The Clerk of the Circuit Court does not, nor is he legally required to,
accumulate expendable available financial resources to liquidate this obligation . Accordingly, the liability for
compensated absences is not reported in the governmental funds .
G. Transfer Out
In accordance with Florida Statutes , all revenues in excess of expenditures as of year-end are owed to the Board
of County Commissioners . These "excess fees" are reported as a transfer out and were $579,479 at year-end.

State of Florida. 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.

Report on Compliance and on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
1
' The Honorable Jeffery K. Barton
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the basic financial statements of Indian River County, Florida including the fund financial
statements of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, as of and for the year ended September 30 , 2002 , and issued our report
thereon dated January 31 , 2003 . 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 .
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Clerk of the Circuit Court ' s financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and
contracts, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial
' statement amounts . However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances
of
noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
' Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Clerk of the Circuit Court ' s internal control over financial
' reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the
internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control
over
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses . A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and
not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions .
We noted no matters involving the internal control financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be
a
material weakness .
This report is intended for the information of management, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and the Auditor General
of the State of Florida. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

Gentlemen :
The following is my response to the management comments for the 2001 -2002 fiscal
year .
' Information Technology and Internal Control :
We have recognized for some time that access to the server room should be restricted .
However, the present facility does not provide us with the ability to restrict access to the
server room . Until the Board of County Commissioners is able to provide different
facilities for the server room , we will not be able to institute any changes to the current
environment.
We are in the process of developing policies and procedures to document changes in
' software and the responsibilities of information technology personnel .
As the County moves forward with the implementation of the new financial software , we
' will rely upon in-house expertise to provide support for each module .
I would like to thank your audit staff for their professional assistance and comments .
Sincerely ,
Jeffrey K . Barton

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Sheriff is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article 8 , 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 Sherif only. Since the County has implemented GASB Statement No
34 "Basic Financial Statements-and Management 's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments", the
format of the Sheriff's statements have been prepared in accordance with the presentation requirements of GASB 34
for fund financial statements.
rThe following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements .
A. Description of Funds and Account Groups
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of governmental funds and a fiduciary
fund.
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues
and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Sheriff which are not accounted for in another fund . All
general operating revenues which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources are recorded in
the General Fund . The governmental fund measurement focus is upon determination of financial position and
changes in financial position (sources, uses and balances of financial resources), rather than upon net income determination.
Special Revenue Fund - The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that
are legally restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes . This fund accounts for expenditures
for police education and law enforcement equipment.
Fiduciga Fund
Agency Fund - The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the Sheriff as an agent . The Agency fund
is custodial in nature and does not involve measurement of results of operations .
B . Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the governmental funds and the fiduciary fund are maintained on the modified accrual basis . Under the
modified accrual basis , expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, and revenues are recorded when
received in cash or when they are considered both measurable and available and as such, are susceptible to accrual .
To the extent that revenues exceed expenditures, they are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities .

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

of County Commissioners . These "excess fees" are reported as a transfer out and were $ 546 ,210 at year-end.

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

all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Supervisor of Elections . All general operating revenues
which are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources are recorded in the General Fund . The
governmental fund measurement focus is 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 asurement Focus and Presentation
The accounts of the Governmental Fund are maintained on the modified accrual basis . Under the modified accrual
basis, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when received in cash or

revenues exceed expenditures, they are not considered earned and are reflected as liabilities .

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 of Elections is authorized

absences is not reported in the governmental fund.
R Transfer Out

of County Commissioners . These "excess fees" are reported as transfers out and were $ 12 , 528 at year-end .

1 Report on Compliance and on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
' The Honorable Kay Clem
Supervisor of Elections
Indian River County , Florida
We have audited the basic financial statements of Indian River County, Florida including the fund financial statements of the
Supervisor of Elections , as of and for the year ended September 30 , 2002 , and issued our report thereon dated January
31 ,
2003 . 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 .
Compliance
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 and contracts , noncompliance
j with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts . However , providing
an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly , we do not express such
an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported
under
Government Auditing Standards .
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Supervisor of Elections ' internal control over financial reporting in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not
to
provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting . Our consideration of the internal control over financial
reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be
material
weaknesses . A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal
control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation
to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees to the normal
course of performing their assigned functions . We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting
and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses .
This report is intended for the information of management, the Supervisor of Elections , and the Auditor General of the State
of Florida . However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited .

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Tax Collector is a County agency and a local governmental entity pursuant to Article 8 , Section 1 (d), of the
Constitution of the State of Florida. For financial statement and reporting purposes , the Tax Collector does not
meet the definition of a legally separate organization and is not considered to be a component unit . The Tax
Collector is considered to be a part of the primary government of Indian River County. The financial statements
contained herein represent the financial transactions of the Tax Collector only. Since the County has implemented
GASB Statement No 34 "Basic Financial Statements-and Management 's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local
Governments", the format of the Tax Collector 's statements have been prepared in accordance with the presentation
requirements of GASB 34 for fund financial statements.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting principles and policies used in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements .
A. Description of Funds
The accounting records are organized for reporting purposes on the basis of a governmental fund and a _fiduciary
fund.
Governmental Fund
General Fund - The General Fund, which is a governmental fund, is used to account for all revenues and
expenditures applicable to the general operations of the Tax Collector. All general operating revenues which
are not restricted or designated as to use by outside sources are recorded in the General Fund . The governmental
fund measurement focus is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources ,
uses and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income determination .
Fiduciary Fund
Fiduciary Fund - The Fiduciary Fund of the Tax Collector is the Agency Fund, which is used to account for assets held
by the Tax Collector as an agent. The Agency Fund is custodial in nature and does not involve measurement of results
of operations .
B . Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Presentation

Report on Compliance and on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Charles W. Sembler
' Tax Collector
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the basic financial statements of Indian River Count Florida
ing the fund financial
statements of the Tax Collector, as of and for the year ended September 3� 0 , 2002 , � and issued ed our report thereon
' dated January 31 , 2003 . 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 .
' Compliance
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 and
contracts , noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial
statement amounts . However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of
' our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards .
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Tax Collector ' s internal control over financial reporting
in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial
' statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the
internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses . A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur
and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions . We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses .
This report is intended for the information of management, the Tax Collector, and the Auditor General of the
State of Florida . However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.
