To the Board of Fire Commissioners
Southold Fire District
Southold, New York
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Southold Fire District as of
December 31, 2003 and for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fire
District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. 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 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 explained in Note II, the general fixed assets are reported essentially at appraised replacement values, which
is a departure from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of Amedca. The effect of that
departure on the combined balance sheet is not reasonably determinable.
In our opinion, except for the effects on the general purpose financial statamants of not valuing general fixed
assets at historical cost as explained in Note II, the general purpose financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Southold Fire District at December 31, 2003,
and results of its operations and changes in fund equity for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the requirements mandated by the State of
New York in its Uniform System of Accounts for Fire Districts (State System).
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary schedule listed in the table of contents is presented for
purposes of additional analysis, and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose
financial statements taken as a whole.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The general purpose financial statements of the Southold Fire District have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as applied to government units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standards setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the Fire District's accounting
policies are described below.
Financial Reporting Entity
The Fire District is governed by the Municipal Law and other laws of the State of New York. The scope of
activities included within the accompanying financial statements are those transactions which compdse Fire
District operations, and are governed by, or significantly influenced by, the Board of Fire Commissioners.
The primary function of the Fire District is to provide fire protection to the community. Services such as fire
fighting, fire prevention and public education support the primary function.
The financial reporting entity includes all funds, account groups, functions and organizations over which the Fire
District officials exercise oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility is determined on the basis of financial
interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence
operations and accountability for fiscal matters.
B. Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the Fire District are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered to be a separate accounting entity. These funds and account groups are based upon the
requirements of GAAP for local governmental units as prescribed by GASB as well as the Uniform System of
Accounts for Fire Districts (the State System). The operations of each fund are accounted for within a separate
set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity for both the funds and account
groups and the revenues and expenditures for the funds. Governmental resources are allocated to and
accounted for in individual funds segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain
objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. The various funds are grouped in the
financial statements in the following fund types and account groups:
1. Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions are financed. The acquisition, use
and balances of expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through
governmental funds. The measurement focus of the governmental funds is based upon determination of
financial position and changes in financial position. The following are the Fire DistriCs governmental fund
types:
a) General Fund - the general fund is the principal operating fund of the Fire District. It is used to account for
all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
b) Capital Projects Fund - the capital projects fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial
rasources and the disbursements for the acquisition, construction or renovation of major capital facilities, or
equipment.

Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the Fire District in a trustee or custodial capacity:
Trust and Agency Fund - the trust and agency fund is used by the Fire District to account for and report assets
held by the Fire District in a trustee capacity, or as custodian or agents for individuals, private organizations,
other governments, and/or funds. These include expendable trusts, non-expendable trusts and agency funds.
Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of
operations.
3. Account Groups
Account groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for the Fire District's general fixed
assets and general long-term obligations. The two account groups are not '~;unds". They are accounting
entities, not fiscal entities, and are concerned only with the measurement of financial position, end not with the
results of operations.
a) General Fixed Assets Account Grouo - the general fixed assets account group is used to account for land,
buildings, improvements and equipment owned by the Fire District.
b) General Lono-Term Debt Account Grout - the general long-term debt account group is used to account for
all long-term debt and other obligations of the Fire District. Long-term indebtedness includes obligations
such as bonds, bond anticipation notes and capital notes. Other obligations include unbilled retirement
liabilities and vested or accumulated vacation and/or sick leave which will be funded in future budgets.
C. Measurement Focus/Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus is the determination of what is measured. Measurement focus is a concept that embraces
the objective of financial accounting and reporting. The objective of financial accounting and reporting is to
measure the flow of resoumes through the Fire District. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current
financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities
are included in the fund types on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these fund types present increases
(i.e. revenues and other soumes) and decreases (i.e. expenditures and other uses) in fund equity.
The basis of accounting determines when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The State System gives the
Fire District the option to adopt either the modified accrual basis or cash basis of accounting for recording
transactions in its governmental and agency fund types as applicable. The Fire District reports its financial
activities on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues
are recorded when measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the currant period. If expenditure is the pdmary factor for
determining reimbursement under the terms of a grant, revenue is recognized when the expenditure is incurred.
Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred except:
1. Expenditures for prepaid expanses are recognized at the time of the disbursements when the Fire District is
liable for payments.
2. Expenditures for principal and interest on long-term debt are not recognized until due.
3. Expenditures for pension costs for which funding has not yet been provided are recognized in the year that
they are billed by the State and/or insurance carrier.
4. Expenditures for compensated absences, such as vacation leave and sick leave, for which funding has not yet
been provided are recognized in the year that they are paid.

D. Property Taxes
Real property taxes are levied annually by the Fire District no later than November 1st and become a lien on
December 1st. Real property taxes are payable without penalty and interest in two equal installments by January
10th and May 31st.
The Fire District's tax levy is collected by the Town of Southold. Tax collections are remitted in full to the Fire
District in accordance with the Suffolk County Tax Act. Suffolk County is responsible for all uncollected taxes.
E. Budgetary Data
1. Budget Policies
The Fire District administration prepares a proposed general fund budget for approval by the Board of Fire
Commissioners in September of each year. Upon Board approval, the budget is effective for the next calendar
year.
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 portion of the applicable appropriations,
is employed es a control in preventing overexpanditure of established appropriations. Open encumbrances
are reported as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and will be
honored through budget appropriations in the subsequent year.
3. Budget Basis of Accounting
Budgets are adopted annually by the Board of Fire Commissioners in accordance with State law.
,a~opropriations authedzed for the current year are increased by the amount of encumbrances carried forward
from the prior year.
F. General Fixed Assets
The State System requires that general fixed assets be recorded at cost as expenditures in the respective funds
at the time of purchase and accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. However, except for land,
which is recorded at cost, the Fire District records these fixed asset values at appraised replacement values (see
Note II). Donated amounts are valued at estimated fair market value when given.
G. General Long-Term Debt
General Obligation Debt
Long-term debt used to finance various capital projects is accounted for in the General Long-Term Debt Account
Group. No liability is recorded for interest payable to maturity.
H. Interfund Transfers
The operations of the Fire District give rise to certain transactions between funds, including transfers of
expenditures and revenues to provide services and construct assets. This is either by budget, Board resolution or
permissive referendum.

I. Fund Equity
Reserves and designations of fund equity are segregated for future or restricted use and are, therefore, not
available for appropriation or expenditure. Designation of unreserved fund equity indicates the use of this
resource in the ensuing year's budget or tentative plans for future use.
J. Use of Estimates
The preparation of general purpose financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
K. Total Columns on Combined Statements
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements and the supplementary schedule are captioned
"Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. The data in these
columns does not present financial position or results of operations in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Neither is the data comparable to a consclidation. Interfund
eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
L. Comparative Data
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in selected sections of the accompanying general
purpose financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the govemment's financial
position and operations.
II. DEPARTURE FROM ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that long-lived assets be capitalized
in the General Fixed Assets Account Group and recorded at historical cost. Except for land which is recorded at cost
the Fire District has recorded these assets at appraised replacement value based on an independent appraisal report,
dated October 31, 1998, together with additions and disposals through December 31, 2003. The effect of not valuing
these assets at historical cost on the general purpose financial statements es of December 31, 2003 has not been
determined.
III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
A. Assets
1. Cash and Investments
The Fire District's investment policies are governed by State statutes. The Fire District's monies must be
deposited in FDIC-insured commemial banks or trust companies located within the State. The treasurer is
authorized to use time and demand accounts and certificates of deposit. Permissible investments include
obligations of the U.S. Treasury and its subdivisions, repumhase agreements, and obligations of New York
state and its subdivisions.
Collateral is required for demand and time deposits as well as certificates of deposit not covered by Federal
Deposit Insurance. Obligations that may be pledged as collateral include obligations of the United States and
its agencies and obligations of the State and its municipalities.
Deposits are valued at cost or cost plus interest and are categorized as either (1) insured, or collateralized with
securities held by the Fire District or the Fire District's agent in the Fire District's name, (2) collateralized with

B. Liabilities and Fund Equity
1. New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System
a) Plan OescriDfion
Effective January 1, 1997, the Fire District participated in the New York State and Local Employees'
Retirement System (ERS). This system is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit pension
plan. The system offers retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living increases, and death
benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.
The ERS is established pursuant to the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law to provide
benefits for the state, local governments, and their employees. ERS plan benefits are guaranteed by the
state constitution.
The system issues publicly available financial reports that include, financial statements and required
supplementary information. These reports may be obtained by writing or calling the system at the following
location: NYS and Local Retirement Systems, Govemor Smith State Office Building, Albany, New York
12244, (518) 474-1101.
b) Fundino Policy
The System is noncontributory except for employees who joined the retirement system after July 27, 1976
with less than ten years of service, who contribute 3% of their salary. Regardless of start date, all members
may elect to make member contributions.
The Comptroller shall certify annually the expressed as proportions of the members' payroll, which shall be
used in computing the contributions required to be made by employers to the pension accumulation fund.
The Fire District is required to contribute on an annual basis. Contributions are generally made to the ERS

4.9% 0.6%
5,320 498
General Information
The Fire District voters approved a Service Award Program effective January 1, 1993 which is an unqualified
deferred compensation plan. Under the State enabling legislation, the Service Award Program was specifically
excluded from the state's retirement system.
a) Plan Descriotion
The Service Award Program has no minimum months of service requirement for participation in the
plan. All members who are credited with sufficient "Service Award Points" are eligible. The minimum
age of a participant is 18; completion of one year of participation in the plan is required to collect
benefits. Participants are fully vested in the fifth year of the plan. Benefits begin on the anniversary
date following attainment of age 65. The maximum number of past service years credit is five.
b) Benefits
The benefits provided to members of the program are established by the plan. The benefit at entitlement
date is $20 per month multiplied by the total years of service. Total years of service can not exceed 38
years and service prior to January 1, 1990 is limited to 5 years. The maximum monthly benefit is $400.
The normal form of the benefit is in monthly payments for life (with payments guaranteed for at least 10
years). The death benefit represents the present value of accnJed benefits. The accrued benefit represents
$20 per month multiplied by the total years of credited service as of the determination date, and is payable
beginning at the entitlement date.
The termination benefits are 0% vesting up to 4 years and 100% thereafter.
c) District Information
The following represents information relating to the Fire District's participation in the above pension plan as
of December 31, 2002, as determined by the actuarial report received in 2003. The calendar year 2003
information is not available yet.
The Fire District contributes to the plan based on a group funding calculation.

3. Indebtedness
a) Lonq-Term Debt
Serial Bonds
The Fire District borrows money in order to acquire or construct buildings and improvements. This
enables the cost of these capital assets to be borne by the present and future taxpayers receiving the
benefit of the capital assets. These long-term liabilities, which are full faith and credit debt of the Fire
District, are recorded in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. The provision to be made in
future budgets for capital indebtedness represents the amount exclusive of interest, authorized to be
collected in future years from taxpayers and others for liquidation of the long-term liabilities.
b) Chanqas in Indebtedness
The changes in the Fire District's long-term indebtedness during the year ended December 31, 2003 are
summarized as follows:
