I INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Town Board
I Town of Southold
53095 Main Road
I Southold, New York 11971
Members of the Board:
I We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Town of South old,
as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996. These general purpose financial statements are the
I responsibility of the Town of South old's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
I We did not audit the financial statements of Fishers Island Ferry District, which represents 23%, 27%,
31 % and 5%, respectively, of the assets and revenues of the special district fund, assets of General
Fixed assets and assets of Long Term Debt. Those financial statements were audited by other
I auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Fishers Island Ferry District, is based on the report of the other auditors.
I , We conducted our audit in accordance. with generally accepted accounting standards. Those
standards require that we perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
I basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial statement preparation. We
I believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the general purpose financial
I statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town
of Southold as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and changes in fund balances
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
I ,
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole. The combining, individual fund, and individual account group financial
I statements and schedules listed in the accompanying table of contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the Town
of Southold. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
I general purpose financial statements, and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects
in relation to the general purpose fiJ;1ancial statements taken as a whole.

previously reported assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1996 were discovered by management

error.

I Members of the Board:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Town of Southold, as of and for the
I year ended December 31,1996, and have issued our report thereon dated June 9,1997.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government
I AuditiDl! Standards. issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. These standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement.
I .
The management of the Town of South old, is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure. In fulf11ling this responsibility, estimates and judgements by management are
I required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and
procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with
r...onabl., but not ablolut., as.urano. that a...t. art .afIIl101atd.d aaainlt 10.. ftotn lIoauthoriz.d
I use or disposition, and that transactions are executed In accordance with management's authorization
and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
I , errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation
of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and
I procedures may deteriorate. ,
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the Town of
I Southold, New York, for the year ended December 31, 1996, we obtained an understanding of the
internal control structure. With respect to the internal control structure, we obtained an
I understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed
in operation, and we assessed control risk in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on. the general purpose financial statements and not to provide an
I opinion on the internal control structure. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

I Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the
I design or operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation
I to the fIDancial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned flmctions. We noted no matters
involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above.

which, upon acceptance by the Town of Southold, is a matter of public record.

I We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Town of Southold, as of and for the

I We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government
AuditiDl! Standards. issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of
I , Management and Budget (OMB) Circular,A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. Those

I The Management of the Town of South old, is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and
I procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized
I use of disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization
and recorded properly to permit the preparation .of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that the federal financial assistance programs are managed in
I compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations in any internal
control structure, errors or irregularities, or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and
not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the
I risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
I For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and
procedures used in administering federal financial assistance programs in the following categories:
Cash Receipts, Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Cash Disbursements, Payroll, Property and Equipment,
I General Ledger, and External Financial Reporting.
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the
I design of relevant policies and procedqres and determined whether they have been placed in
operation, and we assessed control risk.
I During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Town of South old expended 100 percent of its total
federal financial assistance under the following nonrnajor federal financial assistance programs: U.S.
Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, HUD, U.S. Department
I ofJultice. DOT, and the FAA.
We performed tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness
I of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we have
considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements,
general requirements, and requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and
I amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable. Our procedures were less in scope than
would be necessary to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Our consideration of the internal control structure policies and procedures used in administering
I federal awards would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might
constitute material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or
I more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relative low level the risk that
noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a federal award program may
I occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions. We noted no matt~rs involving the internal control structure and its
operations that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Town of Southold
Notes To The Financial Statements
I For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31,1996
L Summary of Sil!nificant Accountinl! Policig
I The financial statements of the Town of Southold have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The
I Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of
the government's accounting policies are described below.
I A. Financial Reporting Entity
The Town of Southold, which was established in 1640, is governed by its Charter, the Local
I Municipal Law and other general laws of the State of New York and various local laws. The
Town Board is the legislative body responsi~le for overall operations, the Supervisor serves as
Chief Executive Officer and as Chief Fiscal Officer.
I Basic services provided included Public Safety, Health, Transportation, Economic Assistance
and Opportunity, Culture and Recreation, and Home and Community Services.
I All governmental activities and functions performed for the Town are its direct responsibility.
No other governmental organizations have been included or excluded from the reporting
I entity.
The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government which is the Town of
I Southold, (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable and
(c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial
I statements to be misleading or incomplete as set forth in GASB Statement 14.
The decision to include a potential component unit in the Town's reporting entity is based on
I several criteria set forth in GASB 14 including legal standing, fiscal dependency, and financial
accountability. Based on the application of these criteria, the following is a brief review of
I certain entltie. considered in determining the Town of Southold reporting entity,
1, Included in the Reporting Entity
a. The Fishers Island Ferry District was established in 1947 by the Town of Southold
I under special legislation of the New York State Legislature. The Ferry District owns,
maintains and operates a public ferry for the transportation for hire of persons and
I vehicles, goods, wares and merchandise, from Fishers Island across the waters of the Long
,
Island Sound and other adjacent waters to points within and without the state. In
addition, the District operates and maintains an airport situated on Fishers Island. The
I , District is administered by an elected board of commissioners consisting of five members
who report to the Town Board of the Town of South old. The Town of South old is
I Page 19
I
I .
.
I responsible for all fiscal matters of the District, including raising of taxes for District
purposes, and issues all District indebtedness which is supported by the full faith and credit
I of the Town of South old. The Ferry District is a component unit, part of the primary
government, and is reported in the special district fund types.
I b. Various other districts established by the Town of South old are operated under
provisions of Article 12 of Town Law. Each district is administered by a separate board
of commissioners elected by the qualified voters of each district. The Town of South old
I raises taxes for each district and issues all district indebtedness which is supported by the
full faith and credit of the Town. These districts are component units, part of the primary
I government, and are reported in the special district fund types. These districts include the
following:
I Orient Mosquito District, established in 1916
Fishers Island Garbage and Refu~ District, established in 1952

B, Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the Town are organized on the basis offimds or account groups, each of
I which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fimd are accounted
for within a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fimd
balance/retained earnings, revenues and expenditures/expenses which are segregated for the
I purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with
special regulations, restrictions or limitations. The various fimds are summarized by type in
the financial statements. (Certain fimds of the local government are utilized to account for
I resources derived ftotn, and/or expenditures applicable to an area less than the entire local
government). The following fimd types and account groups are used:
I 1, Fund Categories
a. Governmental Funds - Governmental fimds are those through which most
I governmental fimctions are financed. The acquisition, use and balance of expendable
financial resources and the related lia}>ilities are accounted for through governmental
fimds. The measurement focus of the governmental funds is upon determination of
I financial position and changes in financial position. The following are the Town's
governmental fund types.
I General Fund - the principal operating fund which includes all operations not
required to be recorded in other fimds.
I SDecial Revenue Funds - used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. The
following Special Revenue Funds are utilized:
I Highway Funds - To maintain and operate highways.
I General Fund Part ToWll- To provide general services outside the Village of
Greenport.
I Special Grant Fund - Segregate and account for projects funded by Community
Development revenue.
I Risk Retention Fund - To provide health benefit. to certain Town etnploy....
I Clijlital Proiects Fund - used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by
special assessment funds and trust funds).
I ,
b. Fiduciary Funds - used to account for assets held by the local government in a
trustee or custodial capacity:
I
I Page 21
I
I .
I .
Trust and Aljlency Funds - used to account for money received and held in the
capacity of trustee, custodian or agent. These include expendable trusts,
I non-expendable trusts, and agency funds.
2, Account Groups
I Account Groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for general
fixed assets and general long-term debt. The two account groups are not "fimds". They
are concerned with measurement of financial position and not results of operations.
I The General Fixed Assets Account Group - used to account for land, buildings,
I improvements other than buildings, and equipment utilized for general government
purposes, except those accounted for in proprietary funds.
I The General Long-Term Debt Account GrouP - used to account for all long-term
debt except that accounted for in proprietary and special assessment funds.
I C, Basis of Ac:countiog/Measuremeot Focus
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures and the related assets and
liabilities are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of
I accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement
focus. Measurement focus is the determination of what is measured, i.e. expenditures or
expenses.
I Modified Accrual Basis - All governmental Funds and Expendable Trust Funds are
accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
I Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when measurable and available.
Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be
I used to pay liabilities of the CUITent period.
Material revenues that are accrued include real property taxes, state and federal aid,
I sales tax and certain user charges. If expenditures are the prime factor for determining
eligibility, revenues from federal and state grants are accrued when the expenditure is
made.
I Bxpencliture. are reoorded when Incurred exi:ept that:
I a. Expenditures for inventory-type items are recognized at the time of the
disbursements.
I ,
b. Principal and Interest on indebtedness are not recognized as an expenditure
until due.
I
I Page 22
.
I
I .
.
I c. Compensated absences, such as vacations and sick leave which vests or
accumulates, are charged as an expenditure when paid ( See Note 1(1)).
I Account GrOUps - General fixed assets are recorded at actual or estimated cost or, in
the case of gifts and contributions, at the fair market value at the time received. No
I provision for depreciation is made. General long-term debt liabilities are recorded at
the par value of the principal amount. No liability is recorded for interest payable at
maturity.
I D, Property Taxes
Real property taxes for the ensuing year are levied annually and become a lien on December 1.
I Taxes are collected during the period December I to May 31, with the first half due January
10 and the second half due May 31. Tax payments made during the period December 1 to
I December 31 are recognized as revenue in the subsequent year.
Taxes for county purposes (apportioned to the area of the county inside the Town of
I Southold) are levied together with taxes for town and special district purposes as a single bill.
The towns and special districts receive the full amount of their levies annually out of the first
amounts collected on the combined bills. The county assumes enforcement responsibility for
I all taxes levied in the towns (and for unpaid county taxes in the Town).
Unpaid village taxes and school district taxes are turned over to the county for enforcement.
I Any such taxes remaining unpaid at year end are relevied as county taxes in the subsequent
year.
I E. Budgetary Data
1. Budget Policies - The budget policies are as follows:
I a. No later than October 1, the Supervisor submits a tentative budget to the Town
, Board for the fiscal year commencing the following fiscal year. The tentative budget
includes the proposed means of financing for all funds.
I b. After public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, no later than
Novllnber 20, thl Town Board adopt. the budget,
I c. All modifications of the budget must be approved by the Town Board.
I 2, Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments
for the expenditure of monies are recorded for budgetary control purposes to reserve that
I portion of the applicable appropriations is employed iD all funds. Encumbrances are
reported as reservations of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or
I liabilities. Expenditures for such commitments are recorded in the period in which the
liability is incurred.
! I Page 23
I
I .
I .
3, Budget Basis of Accounting
Budgets are adopted annually on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
I principles. Appropriations authorized for the current year are increased by the amount of
encumbrances carried forward from the prior year. Budgetary controls for the special
revenue funds are established in accordance with the applicable grant agreement which
I covers a period other than the Towns fiscal year. Budgets have been adjusted to reflect
, the Town's fiscal year.
I F, Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in Accounting policies.
I G, Departures from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
There are no departures from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
I H, Property, Plant and Equipment - Ge~eral
Fixed assets purchased for general governmental purposes are recorded as expenditures in the
I governmental funds and are capitalized at costs (or estimated historical costs for assets
purchased prior to 1976) in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Contributed fixed
assets are recorded at fair market value at the date received.
I Fixed assets consisting of certain infrastructure type improvements other than buildings,
including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage and lighting
I systems, have not been capitalized. Such assets normally are immovable and of value only to
the Town. Therefore, the purposes of stewardship for capital expenditures can be satisfied
without recording these assets.
I No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets, nor has interest on general fixed
assets construction in progress been capitalized.
I ,
L Insurance
The Town assumes the liability for most risk including, but not limited to, property damage
I and personal injury liability. Judgments and claims are recorded when it is probable that an
asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated.
I J, Vacation and Sick Leave and Compensatory Absence.
Town employees are granted vacation and sick leave and earn compensatory absences in
I varying amounts. In the event of termination or upon retirement, an employee is entitled to
payment for accumulated vacation and sick leave and unused compensatory absences at
I various rates subject to certain maximum limitations.
Estimated vacation and sick leave and compensatory absences accumulated by governmental
I fund type employees have been recorded in the general long-term obligations account group.
I Page 24
I
I .
.
I Payment of vacation and sick leave recorded in the general long-term obligations account
group is dependent upon many factors, therefore, timing of future payments is not readily
I determinable. However, management believes that sufficient resources will be made available
for the payments of vacation and sick leave and compensatory absences when such payment
becomes due.
I K. Post Retirement Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Town provides health insurance coverage and
I survivor benefits for retired employees and their survivors. Substantially, all Town
employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while
I working for the Town. Health care benefits and survivors benefits are provided through either
an insurance company or the Risk Retention Fund whose premiums are based on the benefits
, paid during the year. The Town recognizes the cost of providing benefits by recording its
I share of insurance premiums or the actual benefits paid from the Risk Retention Fund as an
expenditure in the year paid. During the year, $1,095,122 was paid on behalf of68 retirees
and 187 active employees and is recorded is an expenditure in the Risk Retention Fund and
I the General Fund. The cost of providing benefits for 68 retirees is not separable from the cost
of providing benefits for the 187 active employees.
I L Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs
The Town ceased accepting waste at its Cutchogue landti11 as of October 8, 1993. The Town
entered into a stipulation of settlement with the New York State Department of
I Environmental Conservation in October, 1994 in which all charges of operational violations at
the Cutchogue landfill were dropped. Under the stipulation, the Town agreed to close and
place a final cover over the landfill and to pay a civil penalty of$650,000 over the next seven
I years (See Note III (B)(3)). In addition to placement of the final cover on the landti11, state
and federal regulations presentiy require the Town to perform certain maintenance and
monitoring functions at the site for up to thirty years. Actual costs associated with the
I placement of the final cover and the ~ost-closure monitoring are uncertain at this time pending
final determination from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The Town is presently awaiting regulatory relief on this matter.

Sales from recyc1eable materials were estimated in excess of the amount realized by
I $42,204.

own written investment policy. Town monies are deposited in FDIC insured commercial
'I banks or trust companies located within the state. The Supervisor is authorized to use
demand accounts and certificates of deposits. Permissible investments include obligations
I of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agencies, repurchase agreements, and obligations of New
York State or its localities. '
I

'I Collateral is required for demand deposits and certificates of deposit at 105 percent of all
deposits not covered by federal deposit insurance. Obligations that may be pledged as
I collateral are obligations of the United States and its agencies and obligations of the State
and its municipalities and school districts.
I The written investment policy requires that repurchase agreements be purchased from
banks located within the State and that underlying securities must be obligations of the
I federal government. Underlying securities must have a market value of at least 105
percent of the cost of the repurchase agreement.

I 1, Pension Plans
General Information
The Town participates in the New York Employees' Retirement System and the New
I York State Policemen's and Firemen's Retirement System. These are cost-sharing
, multiple-employer retirement systems. The Systems provide retirement benefits as well as
death and disability benefits. Obligations of employers and employees to contribute and
I benefits to employees are governed by the New York State Retirement and Social
Security Law (NYSRSSL). As set forth in the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller of the State of
New York (Comptroller) serves as sole trustee and administrative head of the Systems.
I The Comptroller sha11 adopt and may amend rules and regulations for the administration
and transactions of the business of the Systems and for the custody and control of their
funds. The Systems issue a publicly available financial report that includes financial
I statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by
writing the New York State and Local Retirement System, Gov. Alfred E. Smith State
I OfftOI Bl.IlIdlna, Alban)'. NY 12244,
Funding Policy
I The Systems are noncontributory except for employees who joined the New York State
and Local Employees' Retirement System after July 27, 1976 who contribute 3% of their
salary. Under the authority of the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller shall certifY annually the
I rates expressed as proportions of payroll of members, which shall be used in computing
the contributions required to be made by employers to the pension accumulation fimd.
I
I Page 27
I
I .
.
I The Town of Southold is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The
required contributions for the current year and two preceding years were as follows:
I ERS PFRS
1996 $ 155,243 $ 300,392
I 1995 $ 78,732 $ 277,526
1994 $ 10,088 $ 563,230
I The Town's contributions made to the Systems were equal to 100010 of the contributions
required for each year.
I Since 1989, the Systems' billings have been based on Chapter 62 of the Laws of 1989 of
the State of New York. This legislation requires participating employers to make
payments on a current basis, while amortizing existing unpaid amounts relating to the
I Systems' fiscal years ending March 31, 1988 and 1989 (which otherwise were to have
been paid on June 30, 1989 and 1990, r~spectively) over a 17-year period, with an 8.75%
interest factor added. Local governments were given the option to prepay this liability.
I The Town elected to make the full payment on December 15, 1993, by issuing serial
bonds to replace this debt (See Note ID(B)(3)).
I Pursuantto Chapter 178 of the Laws of 1991 and Chapter 12 of the laws of 1995, the
State Legislature authorized local governments to make available a retirement incentive
program with estimated total costs of$105,799, of which $10,542 was charged to
I expenditures/expense in the governmental fimds in the current fiscal year. The cost of the
programs will be billed and paid over five years beginning December IS, 1992 for Chapter
178 and December IS, 1996 for Chapter 12 and will include interest at 8.75%.
I 2. Short-Term Debt
Liabilities for bond anticipation notes (BAN's) are generally accounted for in the
I capital projects fimds. Principal payments on BAN's must be made annually.
State law requires that BAN's issued for capital purposes be converted to long-term
I obligations within five years after the original issue date. However, BAN's issued for
assessable improvement projects may be renewed for periods equivalent to the
maximum life of the permanent financina, provided that stipulated annual redul:tions of

I the above obligations aggregated $7,390,000. Of this amount, $6,804,000 was subject
to the constitutional debt limit and represented approximately 2.84% of its debt limit.
I b. Serial Bonds and Capital Notes - The Town borrows money in order to acquire
land or equipment or construct buildings and improvements. This enables the cost of
these capital assets to be borne by the present and future taxpayers receiving the
I benefit of the capital assets. These long term liabilities, which are full faith and credit
debt of the local government, are recorded in the General Long-Term Debt Account
I Group. The provision to be made in future budgets for capital indebtec4tess represents
the amount exclusive of interest, authorized to be collected in future years from
taxpayers and others for liquidation of the long-term liabilities.
I c. Other Long-Term Debt - In addition to the above long-term debt, the local
government had the following non-current liabilities:
I Due to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)-
Represents the non-current portion of the liability due under the settlement in which all
I charges of operational violations at the Cutchogue landfill were dropped.
