TOWN OF SOUTHOLD PECONIC BAY COMMUNITY
PRESERVATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
Nature of Activities
In 1998, the Peconic Bay Community Preservation Fund (the Fund) was established by voter
referendum. The Fund is financed by a 2% real estate transfer tax through 2050. The overall goal is to
preserve open land and farm land by purchasing open space and environmentally sensitive lands. Funds
are also allowed to be used for management and stewardship of the acquired properties. The Peconic
Bay Community Preservation Fund is accounted for as a major fund in the Town of Southold, New
York financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to
governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of funds deposited in demand accounts and time deposit accounts with maturities of less
than three months from the date acquired by the Fund.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Fund to concentrations of credit risk consist of
demand deposits with a financial institution. At December 31, 2020 there are no balances exceeding
FIC insurance of $250,000. The Fund believes there is minimal credit risk relative to its cash and
investment accounts.
