These basic financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District Firefighters' Pension Fund ("Pension Fund"), which represent 100% of the assets, liabilities and net assets as well as 100% of the revenue and expenses of the District's Fiduciary Fund. Those financial statements were _ audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund, is based on the report of the other auditors. 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 of America. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about _ whether the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TUSCAN & COMPANY, P.A. Fort Myers, Florida February 1, 2012 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) Management's Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Statements FYE September 30,2011 This Discussion and Analysis of the North Naples Fire Control & Rescue District's ("The District") basic financial statements is provided to assist the reader in understanding the District's financial activities and significant changes in ending financial position for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The District implemented the requirements of GASB Statement#34 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. This Statement dramatically changed the District's annual reporting requirements, as well as the financial statement format and presentation. Contained within are the basic financial statements, consisting of the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements and notes to the financial statements. This Discussion and Analysis will also provide an analytical overview of these statements, including comparisons of the District's financial position at September 30, 2011 versus September 30, 2010. District Highlights 1. At the conclusion of fiscal year 2011, the District's assets exceeded its liabilities, resulting in net assets of$34,187,500 as compared to net assets at September 30, 2010 of$37,157,805. 2. The District's total net assets decreased $2,970,305 during fiscal year 2011, as compared to an increase of$250,689 in total net assets during fiscal year 2010. 3. The District had $11,193,272 of unrestricted net assets at September 30, 2011, — that can be used to meet the District's ongoing obligations, as compared to $13,504,758 at September 30, 2010. The amount of unrestricted net assets decreased by $2,311,486. 4. Total revenues and other financing sources on the governmental funds basis decreased, $2,341,491 or 9 percent, in comparison to the prior year. 5. Total expenditures on the governmental funds basis decreased $344,976, or 1 percent, in comparison to the prior year. Government-wide Financial Statements Government-wide financial statements (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities found on pages 3 and 4) are intended to allow a reader to assess a government's operational accountability. Operational accountability is defined as the extent to which the government has met its operating objectives efficiently and effectively, using all resources available for that purpose, and whether it can continue to meet its objectives for the foreseeable future. Government-wide financial statements concentrate on the District as a whole and do not emphasize fund types. _ The Statement of Net Assets (page 3)presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. The District's capital assets are included in this statement and reported net of their accumulated depreciation. The Statement of Activities (page 4) presents revenue and expense information showing how the District's net assets changed during the fiscal year. Both statements are measured and reported using the economic resource measurement focus (revenues and BJB/bb 2-27-12 expenses) and the accrual basis of accounting (revenue recognized when earned and expense recognized when incurred). Governmental Fund Financial Statements The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of governmental funds, each of which is considered 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 or retained earnings, revenues and expenditures. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Governmental fund financial statements (found on pages 5 and 7) are prepared on the modified accrual basis using the current financial resources measurement focus. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. _ Notes to the Financial Statements The notes to the financial statements explain in detail some of the data contained in the preceding statements and begin on page 11. These notes are essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Analysis The government-wide financial statements are designed so that the user can determine if the District's financial condition is better or worse than the prior year. The following is a Condensed Summary Statement of Net Assets for the District (Primary Government) at September 30, 2011 and 2010: Summary Statement of Net Assets September 30 Assets: 2011 2010 Current and Other Assets $15,817,903 $16,925,935 Capital Assets 22,994,228 23,653,047 Total Assets $38,812,131 $40,578,982 _ Liabilities: Current Liabilities $ 2,474,542 $ 1,617,155 Non-Current Liabilities 2,150,089 1,804,022 Total Liabilities 4,624,631 3,421,177 _ Net Assets: Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt 22,994,228 23,653,047 Unrestricted 11,193,272 1 3,504,758 Total Net Assets 34,187,500 37,157,805 Total Liabilities and Net Assets $38,812,131 $40,578,982 BJB/bb 2-27-12 ii — Current and other assets represent 41 percent of total assets at September 30, 2011, as compared to 42 percent at September 30, 2010. Current assets at September 30, 2011 are — comprised of unrestricted cash balances of $6,212,836, restricted cash of $1,131,780, unrestricted investments of$8,018,580, due from other governments of $261,257, other receivables of$61,231 and other assets of$132,219. The balances of unrestricted cash — represent amounts that are available for spending at the discretion of the Board of Fire Commissioners of the District. Restricted cash balances are comprised of the impact fee — funds restricted for the purchase of capital assets, unspent inspections fee revenue restricted to support the inspection of new construction, and funds received as donations for the District's 50`"Anniversary in 2011. The investment in capital assets, net of related debt, represent 59 percent of net assets at — September 30, 2011, as compared to 58 percent at September 30, 2010. These assets are comprised of land, buildings, improvements, equipment, furniture, and vehicles, net of accumulated depreciation, and the outstanding related debt used to purchase the assets. _ The unrestricted net asset balance of $11,193,272 represents resources available for spending at September 30, 2011. Summary of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets — For the Years Ended September 30,2011 and September 30,2010 Revenues: 2011 2010 __ General Revenues Ad Valorem Taxes $22,312,426 $24,649,321 Charges for Services 618,360 572,948 Program Revenues — Grants 30,750 29,198 Miscellaneous Impact Fees 142,361 22,135 Investment Earnings 173,073 299,266 Gain(Loss) on Disposition of — Capital Assets (1,596) (25,546) Other 219,280 258,888 Total Revenues 23,494,654 25,806,210 Expenses: Public Safety–Fire/Rescue Service 26,464,959 25,555,521 Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets (2,970,305) 250,689 Net Assets-Beginning of Year 37,157,805 36,907,116 Net Assets-End of Year $34,187,500 $37,157,805 BJB/bb 2-27-12 ill The assessed value of the property within the District decreased 9 percent for the 2010- - 2011 fiscal year as compared to the prior year's assessed value, resulting in a decrease in Ad Valorem tax revenues. This is the third consecutive year that property values in the District have decreased, resulting in a decrease in Ad Valorem revenue. The cumulative reduction in property value for the 2008-2009, 2.009-2010 and 2010-2011 fiscal years resulted in a$5,576,999, or a 20 percent reduction in Ad Valorem revenue. The Board adopted a millage rate of 1 mil, or $1.00 for every $1,000 of property value. This millage rate was 11 percent less than the rolled back rate, or the taxing rate necessary to generate the same Ad Valorem revenue as the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Because the District is capped at a maximum millage rate of 1 mil, the Board could not adopt the rolled back rate. Historically,the increase in Ad Valorem revenue resulting from the increase in property value has been sufficient to provide adequate funds to support operational, capital and _ reserve financial requirements in the District without increasing the millage rate. However, the 2010-2011 General Fund Budget reflects a decrease in Ad Valorem revenue corresponding to the decrease in property value. As a result, it was anticipated that reserves in the amount of$1,832,065 would be required to fund operations. However, General Fund actual expenditures were less than those budgeted and revenue was more than that budgeted; therefore, reserves were decreased by $1,466,107. The following chart identifies the change in appraised property values in the District and the millage rate maintained by the District.

The total fund balance of the General Fund, 97 per cent of which are assigned reserves, was $13,926,573 at September 30, 2011. This fund balance represents a — decrease of$1,466,107 over the total fund balance of the General Fund at September 30, 2010. In September of 2002, a comprehensive Five Year Plan for the District was developed. This plan is reviewed and revised annually,just prior to preparation of the District's annual budget. The Five Year Plan has become an integral tool to assist in the identification of the financial needs for the future of the District, and as such, has assisted — the Board of Fire Commissioners in establishing comprehensive assigned reserves to financially provide for the identified needs of the District. _ The fund balance of$13,926,573 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, is comprised of 97 per cent of assigned reserves. In light of the current and forecasted economic trends and accompanying decrease in property value, the Board has established assigned reserves identified as necessary to fund operational activities of the District in — future years. These assigned reserves were created in an effort to address anticipated revenue reductions in the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 fiscal years. _ Other reserves are assigned to accommodate the future financial needs of the District as identified in the Five Year Plan as amended in September of 2011. While assigned reserves have been established and maintained in accordance with anticipated future needs of the District, it must be noted that the need may arise for the Board to unassign a — portion of these reserves to fund the District's operations should property values continue to fall. The following General Fund Assigned Reserves were approved for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, in coordination with the Five Year Plan and as a result of the anticipated reduction in future General Fund Ad Valorem revenue: — Assigned Fund Balance Amount 2011-2012 Expenses - Oct.-Dec. $ 6,500,000 — 2011-2012 Expenses over Revenue 2,000,000 2012-2013 Expenses over Revenue 2,000,000 ALS Equipment 226,344 Emergency Reserve 1,363,911 Fire Apparatus 1,289,460 SCBA Replacement 160,000 Station#46 Improvements 20,900 — Total Assigned Reserves $13,560,615 These assigned reserves have been established by the Board of Fire Commissioners to meet the future needs of the District. As indicated in the District's Five Year Plan, one — new station is anticipated to be operational within the next five years, with funds allocated to initial permitting and planning expenditures for three other stations. Due to — the recent and dramatic decline in impact fees, and the anticipated revenue reduction resulting from decreasing property values, the Five Year Plan was revised to delay the BJB/bb 2-27-12 V construction in full on these three other stations. While impact fees can fund the creation — of the infrastructure required for these stations, the staffing and maintenance must be funded by the General Fund. These assigned reserves are also created to fund the replacement of capital assets originally funded through impact fees. Additionally, significant increases in health insurance, retirement, and other personnel — and operating expenses require that funds be set aside, or assigned, to prepare for the funding of future expenditures. This is especially necessary in light of the current — economic situation and the anticipated impact of the decline in property values statewide, and the resulting revenue reduction resulting from such decline. As evidenced by the chart below, the District's General Fund fund balance has increased $13,375,078 since 2001. While the growth in fund balance is significant, it is by no — means an unnecessarily high accumulation of funds. Not only has it become evident that the District must be able to provide for operating and personnel expenses in the event of a — serious hurricane or other natural disaster, it has become essential for future planning to ensure the financial stability of the District by increasing designated reserves to provide for the future needs of the District in anticipation of dramatic revenue reductions. It is also designed to allow for replacement of capital assets without a planned increase in millage. It should also be noted that the 2010-2011 fiscal year General Fund utilized — $1,466,106 of reserves to fund operations during the fiscal year due to the decline in property value and accompanying decrease in Ad Valorem revenue. This is the first year since 2001 that the District had to use reserves to fund operations. While significant reserves still remain, it is by no means sustainable to continue to rely on reserves to fund operations. BJB/bb 2-27-12 vi _ General Fund Fund Balance 2001 - 2011 $18,000,000 $16,000,000 $14,000,000 - $12,000,000 - _ 09/30/01 •9/30/02 ❑9/30/03 -- $10,000,000 - ❑9/30/04 •9/30/05 9/30/06 $8,000,000 - _ ■9/30/07 O 9/30/08 •9/30/09 $6000,000 ■9/30!10 ❑9/30/11 $4,000,000 -- -- $2,000,000 - $- 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Impact Fees Actual impact fees received for the year ended September 30, 2011 decreased $176,637, or 31 percent, as compared to the prior fiscal year. However, because of the decline in impact fees over the course of the last few fiscal years, the amount received exceeded budgeted impact fees by $172,253, or 77 per cent. Staff continues to conservatively estimate impact fee revenue for future years and limit planned impact fee expenditures due to the trend in declining revenue. The Board of Fire Commissioners recognized that the growth in the District was significant in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and anticipated the District would reach a point where the growth and resulting impact fees would substantially decrease. Therefore, the Five Year Plan has reflected decreasing impact fees. However, the decline in impact fees occurred much quicker and at a more substantial rate than originally anticipated. As a result, the Five Year Plan has been amended to reflect the reduction in receipts. BJB/bb 2-27-12 vii — Inspection Fees _ Inspection fee revenue for the year ended September 30, 2011 represent an increase of $11,035 or 2 percent over revenue in the prior fiscal year, as compared to an increase of $30,041, or 7 percent over the inspection fee revenue for fiscal year 2010 vs. 2009. These inspection fees are received by the District for inspections performed on new — construction, and are therefore a function of the number of new structures built and completed in the District. Following three consecutive years of decreasing inspection fee fund receipts, the 2009-2010 fiscal year was the first year to recognize an increase in inspection fees revenue since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The trend continued in the fiscal year ended 2011, with inspection fees received increasing as compared to the prior fiscal year. However, the overall reduction in fees since 2006 has resulted in the inability of the revenues of the fund to support the full operating budget. — As a result, the General Fund has provided financial assistance to support the Inspection Fee Fund. This fund will continue to require close monitoring in the future to determine -- if the General Fund will be required to continue to provide financial assistance to support the Inspection Fee Fund operating costs. Budgetary Highlights — Budget versus actual comparisons are reported in the required supplementary information other than management's discussion and analysis on pages 54 through 60. General Fund expenditures were less than those budgeted, with Personnel Expenditures reflecting $88,840 or less than 1 percent less than budgeted, Operating Expenditures reflecting $88,442 or 3 percent less than budgeted, and Capital Outlay reflecting $17,910 or 6 percent less than budgeted. Differences between the final amended budget and actual expenditures in the General Fund were largely due to fewer non-essential purchases being — made, and the serious effort exerted to control expenditures as tightly as possible faced with current and anticipated decrease in property (Ad Valorem)tax revenue. The amendments to General Fund revenue were necessary to reflect an increase in Ad Valorem tax revenue received resulting in collection above the 95 percent subject to — budget requirements and to reflect a reduction in interest revenue earned due to the decline in interest rates available on the District's Certificates of Deposit. The amendments to the General Fund expenditures were a result of several factors. Budgeted personnel expenses were increased by $99,790 due to an Early Retirement Incentive program and resulting lump sum payment of 2011-2012 wages for a few participating employees during the 2010-2011 fiscal year, as well as the hiring of four — replacement firefighters to address staffing shortages and offset overtime expenditures. Budgeted operating expenses were decreased by $294,894 to reflect reduced liability, property and auto insurance costs, building maintenance, and fuel and oil expenditures. Budgeted capital expenditures were increased by $150,000 to reflect necessary purchases of capital medical equipment necessary due to the expansion of advanced life support services. It should be noted that amendments to reduce General Fund expenditures totaled $45,104, and actual General Fund expenditures were still $195,193 under budget. BJB/bb 2-27-12 vill Capital Assets Non-depreciable capital assets include land and construction in progress. Depreciable assets include buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, furniture and — vehicles. — The following is a schedule of the District's capital assets as of September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Only those assets deemed absolutely necessary were purchased. Significant capital asset purchases made during the fiscal year ended — September 30, 2011 include: BJB/bb 2-27-12 1X — 1. Heartstart monitors utilized by the District's paramedics performing Advanced Life Support("ALS") services totaling $226,201, funded 50 percent by the General Fund and 50 percent by the Impact Fee Fund; 2. Replacement computers and associated computer hardware for use in the apparatus totaling $87,742; 3. Hurst hydraulic tools totaling $17,930; 4. Replacement of air conditioning system at Station#45 in the amount of$28,276; 5. Dry agent fire system in server room at Station#45 totaling $14,519; and 6. Payment of architecture, engineering, and permitting fees for future Station#48 located on Livingston Road in the amount of$30,011 from the Impact Fee Fund. For additional information on the District's capital assets, see Note E on pages 28 and 29. Debt Administration As of September 30, 2011, the District had outstanding debt of$2,820,261, as compared to $1,971,865 at September 30, 2010, an increase of$848,396 or 43 per cent. That debt consists of: 1. Compensated absences (accrued vacation liability) in the amount of$1,602,209, as compared to $1,564,820 at September 30, 2010. The increase in this liability is due to hourly rate changes resulting from promotions to replace vacated positions due to retirements and the Early Retirement Incentive programs. 2. Termination benefits in the amount of$777,131, as compared to $244,440 at September 30, 2010. These termination benefits consist of health, dental and vision insurance benefits through 2012 for those employees participating in the District's first early retirement incentive program, and wages payable in 2012 under the second early retirement incentive program, and health insurance benefits payable in 2012, 2013 and 2014. 3. OPEB obligation of$440,921, representing post employment health insurance obligations pursuant to GASB No. 45. Economic Facts and Next Year's Budget Millage Rates The following factors were taken into consideration when the budget for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 was prepared: 1. Appraised taxable property values decreased by $774,813,699 or 3 percent for tax year 2011 (FY2012) as compared to a decrease of 9 percent in 2010. This is the fourth consecutive year that the property value in the District has decreased. The cumulative effect of the last four years' decline in property value is an anticipated _ reduction in Ad Valorem revenue of approximately $6.6 million, or 23 percent. The decrease in 2011-2012 property value was anticipated, and the staff, under the Board's direction, has worked hard to control expenditures and increase reserves. The decrease in property value was less than the anticipated 5 percent. Preliminary estimates indicate the property value in Collier County is expected to decline 5 percent for the 2012 year. Historically, the District has faired far better than the County as a whole, so it is anticipated that new growth within the District will offset any decline in property value, so value should remain unchanged for BJB/bb 2-27-12 x the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Because of the decline in projected revenue for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the General Fund budget reflects the anticipated expenditure of approximately $1.8 million of designated reserves to fund the operating budget and maintain the level of service. The District must continue to consider ways to fund operating expenses without reducing the level of service and without depleting reserves. In June of 2010, the Board held a workshop to consider and discuss additional methods of generating revenue, and again held a special workshop in February of 2012 to review the revised five year financial projections. At the February 2012 workshop, the Boar determined it was not necessary at this time to seek an increase in millage rate. However, they did provide direction to staff to review some fees for services. Staff will continue to monitor financial projections to provide the Board with current and updated information regarding the future financial needs of the District. 2. The District did not increase its millage rate from 1 mill ($1.00 for each$1,000 of appraised property value) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. The rolled-back millage rate, that is, the rate that would need to be levied to generate the same revenue for the 2011-2012 fiscal year as was generated during the 2010- 2011 fiscal year, was not levied because it exceeded the maximum millage rate the District is authorized to levy pursuant to its enabling act. The District's millage cap, combined with declining property values, makes it impossible to generate the same revenue as in prior years. Therefore, the District must fund operations with less revenue, while continuing to attempt to maintain service levels. 3. The District had planned to open Stations #48, #49, #410 and#411 within the next two to five years. However, due to the estimated dramatic reduction in revenue resulting from the anticipated and realized decline in property value, and the dramatic reduction in impact fees received, all construction of new station sites, except for the site preparation work required to remaining compliance with the Army Corps of Engineer's Permit issued for Station#48, has been halted. 4. No new positions are provided for in the General Fund Budget for 2011-2012. Thirteen employees participated in the early retirement incentive program established by the Board for the 2008-2009 fiscal year, resulting in 9 shift positions being vacated. An additional seven employees participated in a second early retirement incentive program offered between August 1, 2010 and July 31, 2011. This resulted in an additional 5 shift positions being vacated. In May of _ 2011, three replacement firefighters were hired to address the 14 shift positions vacated as a result of the two early retirement incentive programs. The 2011- - 2012 General Fund Budget contains provision for overtime necessary to meet staffing demands. In addition, the 2011-2012 General Fund Budget reflects the elimination of one non-bargaining unit Chief Officer position and one bargaining unit 40 hour position, Fire Marshal, which occurred as a result of the second early retirement incentive program. Because of the anticipated continued reductions in _ revenue, the intent is to retain as much of the General Fund reserves as possible to avoid potential personnel reductions in the 2012-2013 fiscal year. 5. Capital purchases have been limited to only those essential items, including the replacement of fire equipment as needed in the total amount of$25,000, the purchase of replacement protective equipment in the amount of$15,000,the purchase of medical equipment in the amount of$15,000, the replacement of one support vehicle in the amount of$30,000 and the replacement of computers for BJB/bb 2-27-12 xl the apparatus used to provide call response information in the total amount of — $42,000. — Request for Information This financial report is designed to provide the reader an overview of the District. — Questions regarding any information provided in this report should be directed to: Becky Bronsdon, Assistant Chief of Administrative Services,North Naples Fire Control & Rescue District, 1885 Veteran's Park Drive,Naples, FL 34109, 239-597-3222, e-mail: bbronsdon@northnaplesfire.com.

NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 11 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District(the "District") is an independent special taxing district located in northern Collier County,Florida. The District was — originally established on April 23, 1961 by Laws of Florida, Chapter 61-2032,then reestablished by Laws of Florida Chapter 84-416, as amended. The District has the general and special powers prescribed by Florida Statute Chapters 189, 191 and _ 633.15. The District's governing legislation was recreated,reenacted and codified by Laws of Florida, Chapter 99-450 on July 13, 1999 and amended by Laws of Florida, Chapter 2006-353 on June 23, 2006. The District is governed by a five(5) member elected Board of Commissioners. Commissioners serve on a staggered four (4)year term basis. The District provides fire control and protection services, fire safety, inspections, code enforcement, fire hydrant maintenance, firefighter training, and crash and fire _ rescue services as well as basic and advanced life support services. In providing these services,the District operates and maintains seven(7) stations and a support services/fire prevention facility as well as the related equipment. The District employs approximately 150 full-time professional firefighters and administrative staff. _ During the year ended September 30, 2009, the District entered into a joint venture agreement with Edison State College (ESC) for the operation of the North Naples Fire Training Center(NNFTC)to educate and train students as State Certified Firefighters. The District is licensed to operate the NNFTC and ESC is the program –' coordinator. The District provides the training room and training facilities for the _ NNFTC. ESC, as program coordinator, is responsible for the operations of the NNFTC including but not limited to the screening and enrolling of students and for screening and engaging instructors. Therefore,the activities of the NNFTC are not included in the District's basic financial statements. Reporting Entity _ The District adheres to Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB) Statement Number 14, "Financial Reporting Entity," (GASB 14)as amended by GASB Statement Number 39, "Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units" (GASB 39). This Statement requires the basic financial statements of the District(the primary government)to include its component units, if any. A component unit is a legally separate organization for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. Based on the criteria established in GASB 14, as amended, there are no component units required to be included in the District's basic financial statements. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 12 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements(i.e.,the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities)report information on all of the activities of the District and do — not emphasize fund types. These governmental activities comprise the primary government. General governmental and intergovernmental revenues support the governmental activities. The purpose of the government-wide financial statements is _ to allow the user to be able to determine if the District is in a better or worse financial position than the prior year. The effect of all interfund activity between governmental funds has been removed from the government-wide financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the pension 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 Number 33, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions" (GASB 33). Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the government-wide _ financial statements rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability in the government-wide financial statements rather than as expenditures. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase,use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital improvements of _ a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 13 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Government-wide Financial Statements, continued Program revenues are considered to be revenues generated by services performed and/or by fees charged such as inspection fees, burn permits, and hydrant tests. Fund Financial Statements The District has implemented GASB Number 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions" that requires a change in the reporting format of fund balances in the governmental fund statements. As a result of such implementation there is no net effect in fund balance or revenues and other sources over(under) expenditures and other financings uses at September 30, 2011 or for the year then ended. Essentially, the implementation resulting in adoption of a fund balance policy and reclassification of the components within fund balance. The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered 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 or retained earnings, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Fund financial statements for the District's governmental and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and nonmajor funds in aggregate for governmental funds. The fiduciary statement includes financial information for the firefighters' pension fund. The fiduciary fund represents assets held by the District in a custodial capacity for the benefit of other individuals. Governmental Funds When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenditures are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, as appropriate, _ and then from unrestricted resources. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the current period or soon thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. — NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 14 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Governmental Funds, continued The District's major funds are presented in separate columns on the governmental —' fund financial statements. The definition of a major fund is one that meets certain criteria set forth in GASB Statement Number 34, "Basic Financial Statements- and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments" (GASB 34). The funds that do not meet the criteria of a major fund are considered _ non-major funds and are combined into a single column on the governmental fund financial statements. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds. Major individual - governmental funds are reported in separate columns on the fund financial statements. Fiduciary Fund The pension trust fund accounts for the activities of the Firefighters' Pension Plan, which accumulates resources for the pension benefit payments to qualified firefighters. The net assets of this fund are not considered to be net assets of the District and not _. available to the District's creditors. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are _ recognized in the accounts and reported in the basic financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year _ for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. 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. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 15 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting, continued Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period and soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the District considers tax revenues to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, interest on investments, and intergovernmental revenues. Property taxes are recorded as revenues in the fiscal year in which they are levied,provided they are collected in the current period or within sixty days thereafter. Interest on invested funds is recognized when earned. — Intergovernmental revenues that are reimbursements for specific purposes or projects are recognized when all eligibility requirements are met. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include: (1) principal and interest on long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due; and(2) expenditures are generally not divided between years by the recording of prepaid expenditures. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first,then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Non-current Government Assets/Liabilities _ GASB 34 requires non-current governmental assets, such as land and buildings, and non-current governmental liabilities, such as notes payable and capital leases,to be reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide Statement of Net Assets. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 16 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2011 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Major Funds The District reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the District, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Impact Fee Fund consists of fees imposed and collected by Collier County based on new construction within the District. The fees are restricted and can only be used for certain capital expenditures associated with growth within the District. Non-Major Fund The District reports the following non-major fund: The Inspection Fee Fund is used by the District to account for the receipt and expenditures of its Inspection Fee Program. Fees are charged for the inspection of new building construction. The fees are collected by Collier County and are distributed by the East Naples Fire Control and Rescue District to the other participating Districts. Fiduciary Fund Fiduciary funds are excluded in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the District's programs. The only type of fiduciary funds the District maintains is a Firefighters' Pension Fund, which accounts for retirement assets held by the Plan that are payable to qualified firefighters upon retirement. Budgetary Information The District has elected to report budgetary comparisons of its major funds and its non-major fund as required supplementary information (RSI). NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 17 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Investments The District adheres to the requirements of GASB Statement Number 31, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools," (GASB 31) in which all investments are reported at fair value. Investments, including restricted investments, consist of certificates of deposit, U.S. Government securities, corporate debt and equity securities, and securities of government agencies unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land, construction in progress, buildings, equipment and vehicles, are reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Assets. The District follows a capitalization policy which calls for capitalization of all capital assets that have a cost or donated value of$1,000 or more and have a useful life in excess of one year. All capital assets are valued at historical cost, or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated. Public domain (infrastructure) capital assets _ consisting of certain improvements other than building, including curbs, gutters and drainage systems, are not capitalized, as the District generally does not acquire such — assets, No debt-related interest expense is capitalized as part of capital assets in accordance with GASB 34. Maintenance, repairs and minor renovations are not capitalized. The acquisition of land and construction projects utilizing resources received from Federal and State agencies are capitalized when the related expenditure is incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost is eliminated from the respective accounts. — NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 18 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Capital Assets, continued Expenditures for capital assets are recorded in the fund statements as current expenditures. However, such expenditures are not reflected as expenditures in the government-wide statements, but rather are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciable capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Capital Asset Years Buildings 15-30 Capital Assets acquired under Capital Lease 10 _ Office Equipment 3-30 Vehicles 3-10 Equipment and Machinery 3-15 Budgets and Budgetary Accounting —' The District adopted an annual budget for the General Fund.

Budgeted revenues and expenditures in the General Fund were increased by $2,745,867. Budgeted _ expenditures in the Impact Fee Fund increased by $110,000 which was to be funded through impact fees collected in a prior year. No budget amendments were approved for the Inspection Fee Fund. Impact Fees/Deferred Revenue The District levies an impact fee on new construction within the District. The intent of the fee is for growth within the District to pay for capital improvements needed due to the growth. The fee is imposed and collected by Collier County and remitted to the -- District. The fee is refundable if not expended by the District within six(6)years from the date of collection. The District, therefore,records this fee as restricted cash and deferred revenue until the date of expenditure, at which time it is recognized as revenue and charged to capital outlay in the fund financial statements and capital assets in the government-wide financial statements. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 20 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Net Assets In governmental fund statements net assets are identified as restricted when there are externally imposed constraints as to their use, such as through debt covenants, by grantors, or by law. -- Fund Balances The governmental fund financial statements the District maintains include nonspendable, restricted, assigned, and unassigned fund balances. Nonspendable fund balances are those that cannot be spent because the are either (a) not in spendable form or(b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Criteria include items that are not expected to be converted into cash, for example prepaid expenses. Restricted fund balances are those that are restricted by a third party. Restricted fund balances can only be spent for the stipulated purposes. The District's assigned fund balances are a result of the District's Board approval of actions prior to October 1, 2011. The District's intent is to maintain a minimum assigned fund balance level of three (3) months of prior year total expenditures. This assigned fund balance will serve as the District's operational reserve and is intended to fund the subsequent fiscal year's expenditures from October through the following December. At September 30, 2011, fund balance is also assigned for a variety of specific items by District Board action. Any use of the assigned fund balance requires the District's Board approval. Due To/From Other Funds Interfund receivables and payables arise from interfund transactions and are recorded by funds affected in the period in which the transactions are executed. Due From Other Governments No allowance for losses on uncollectible accounts has been recorded since the District considers all amounts to be fully collectible. — NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 21 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Compensated Absences The District's employees accumulate annual leave based on the number of years of continuous service. Upon termination of employment, employees can receive payment of accumulated annual leave if certain criteria are met. The costs of accumulated annual leave benefits (compensated absences) are expended in the respective operating funds when payments are made to employees. However,the _ liability for all accrued vacation and personal leave benefits is recorded in the government-wide Statement of Net Assets. Encumbrances Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other - commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is not employed by the District because, at present, it is not necessary in order to assure effective budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash planning and control. Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interfund Transactions The District considers interfund receivables (due from other funds) and interfund payables (due to other funds)to be loan transactions to and from other funds to cover temporary (three months or less)cash needs. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are .— properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing funds and as reduction of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. Such amounts are eliminated in the Government-wide Financial Statements.

On July 11, 1996, under the authority of Florida Statute 175 and Laws of Florida, Chapter 95-338, the District's Board of Commissioners passed Resolutions 96-004 and 96-005, providing for the establishment and funding of a single employer defined benefit retirement plan and trust for newly hired fire suppression personnel. The resolutions establish that certified firefighters employed on or after January 1, 1996 are to become participants in the District's Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund. The Plan is totally administered, including all investment management, by a third party administrator and the Plan's appointed Pension Board. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Plan adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 50 "Pension Disclosures" (GASB 50) which amends GASB Statements Number 25 "Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans", _ and Number 27 "Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Government Employers". GASB 50 requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of pension plans and certain employer governments of the current funded status of the plan and other actuarial information. The adoptions of GASB 50 had an impact on the presentation of the notes to the financial statements but had no impact on the Plan's net assets available for Plan benefits. During the years ended September 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, there were employee _ contributions in the amounts of$42,021, $62,549, and $33,580,respectively.

The year „_ ended September 30, 2010,is the District's transition year. As such,the District implemented GASB No. 45 on a prospective basis. All retired full-time employees are eligible for OPEB benefits if actively employed by the District immediately before _ retirement. As such, active employees with at least twenty five (25)years of service in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) as of September 30, 2010 were allowed to elect to participate in the Defined Benefit Plan or the Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP). All retirees and Early Retirement Incentive Program (ERIP)participants, who were eligible, remained in the Defined Benefit Plan. All other active employees, at September 30,2010, as well as future employees entered the PEHP. The benefits are provided both with and without contractual or labor agreements. _ The benefits may require contribution from the retirees, depending on certain specified criteria and, in particular, length of creditable employment. The District finances the benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis and recognizes expenditures at the time the premiums are due for both Plans. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 42 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE H - POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS (OPEB),CONTINUED Defined Benefit Plan Specifically,the Defined Benefit Plan provides that the District will pay a portion of medical and dental premiums for retirees depending on their years of credited service starting with the completion of fifteen(15)years of credited service. As such,the District pays 50% of the employee's premium and 25%of the spouse's premium at _ 15 years of service progressing to 100%of the employee's premium and 50%of the spouse's premium upon completion of 25 years of service. The District also pays the .— premium associated with a$5,000 life insurance benefit and offers access to a vision plan for which the retiree is expected to pay the full premium. During fiscal years 2009 and 2010,the District offered two (2) separate Early Retirement Incentive Programs(ERIP)to a number of active employees. A portion -- of the programs includes full payment of premiums associated with medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage, including dependent coverage for a period of 3 years. After the 3 year period ends,the ERIP participants will receive the Defined Benefit Plan benefits they had been eligible for at termination. '— Note that the projected premiums for the dental, vision and life benefits are assumed — to cover the entire cost of the program. Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) -- The PEHP is a defined contribution plan administered by the District. All current employees who did not elect to remain in the Defined Benefit Plan, and all future active employees will be participants in the PEHP. Participants in the PEHP have $7,000 deposited on their behalf into a trust account _ on the 20th anniversary of their date of hire, and each subsequent anniversary. Additionally,those participants who have over 20 years of credited service at their -- date of retirement will receive a$30,000 deposit on their behalf at separation. The PEHP is designed to offer similar benefits to those offered under the Defined • • Benefit Plan.

Since the District's Defined Benefit Plan is unfunded,the offset to that expense comes from subsidies paid on behalf of the current retirees and their dependents for the current year. This offset is called the expected cash payment. The cumulative difference between the annual OPEB cost for the year and the expected cash payment is called the net OPEB obligation(NOO).

Amounts determined regarding the funding status of a plan and _ the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made - about the future. NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE DISTRICT Page 46 of 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30,2011 NOTE H- POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS -- (OPEB), CONTINUED Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plans (the plans as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of the valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members. The actual methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial valuation _s of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. —' In the October 1, 2010 actuarial valuation,the projected credit unit cost method with linear pro-ration to assumed benefit commencement was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.5 percent investment rate of return. Since there are no -- invested plan assets held in trust to finance the Defined Benefit Plan- OPEB obligations,the investment return discount rate is the long-term expectation of investment return on assets held in District funds pursuant to its investment policy. The assumptions also included an annual healthcare cost trend using 7%in 2011 declining by 1%per year to 5%in 2013. Dental care at 6%per year. Life insurance at 0%per year. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability, as calculated, is being amortized over a closed period of 30 years as a level percent of payroll. The assumed rate of payroll growth is 6.0 percent. The funding method is the entry age -' normal actuarial cost method(level percent of pay). NOTE I - RISK MANAGEMENT The District began participating in a self-insurance program for health and dental insurance claims beginning January 1, 2005 and continued to do so through — December 31, 2008. Beginning January 1, 2009, the District converted to a fully funded third party insured _ health plan; however, dental remained a self-insurance plan.

In addition, the District added a policy for reimbursement of the cost of certain over-the-counter medications in lieu of prescriptions. There is no stated maximum amount that will be reimbursed for prescriptions. Beginning October 1, 2010,the District changed to a high deductible health plan and eliminated the dental and vision plans offered to employees and retirees. The District also established a flexible spending plan for its employees. The District contributes $3,000 per eligible participant to the plan annually. Participants may also elect to contribute to the plan on a pre-tax basis. Participant contributions that are not utilized by the grace period following the year end are forfeited. District contributions that are not utilized by the grace period following the year end are divided evenly among the participants and added to the District's contribution for the subsequent year., The District has recorded $146,697 as part of accrued liabilities for flexible spending owed to employees. _ The District incurred $2,624,795 in claims, third party administration costs, premiums and reinsurance premiums during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, for the self-insurance and fully-funded insurance programs. It is the policy of the District to purchase third party commercial insurance for other remaining forms of potential risks to which it is exposed. The District's risk management activities are reported in the General Fund. No accrual has been recorded for claims and incidents not reported to the insurer. The District had no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year.

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 of America. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit,we considered North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our audit procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that adversely affect the entity's ability to initiate, authorize,record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of INTEGRITY SERVICE EXPERIENCE® • 12621 World Plaza Lane, Building 55 • Fort Myers, FL 33907 • Phone: (239) 333-2090 • Fax: (239) 333-2097 Page 64 of 67 America, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the basic financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined.above. Compliance and Other Matters _ As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its — compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of basic financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Commissioners, management, the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and other federal and state audit agencies. This report is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties. (161 A44 P TUSCAN & COMPANY, P.A.
