County of Collier
CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
COLLIER COUNTY COURTHOUSE
April 11, 2017
To the Citizens and
Members of the Board of County Commissioners,
Collier County, Florida:
It is with extreme pleasure that we present to you, the citizens of Collier County and members of
the Board of County Commissioners, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Board of
County Commissioners and County management.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Finance and Accounting Department, as well as
County management, is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition, the reliability of financial records for preparing financial
statements and maintaining accountability of assets. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the
evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Chapter 218.39 of the Florida Statutes requires an independent certified public accountant’s
financial audit of counties in the State. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 the
independent auditor, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, issued an unmodified opinion on the financial
statements. Their report is included in the Financial Section of this report. In addition to meeting
the requirements set forth in State statutes, the audit was also designed to meet the
requirements of the Government Auditing Standards, the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards and the Rules of the Auditor General, Chapter 10.550 Local Governmental
Entity Audits. Information relating to the Single Audits, including the schedule of expenditures
of federal awards and state financial assistance and the independent auditors’ report on
compliance and internal control over compliance with requirements applicable to each major
federal program and state project, are included in the Federal and State Single Audit Section of
this report.
Governmental accounting and auditing principles require that management provide a narrative
introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to
complement MD&A and the two should be read in concert. Collier County’s MD&A can be found
in the Financial Section immediately following the independent auditors’ report.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
Collier County is a Constitutional form of government and was established in 1923 under the
Constitution and the laws of the State of Florida. The Board of County Commissioners is the
legislative body for Collier County and is made up of five residents elected by voters. In addition
to the County Commissioners, voters elect the following five constitutional officers: the Clerk of
the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections and Tax
Collector.
The County provides its citizens with a wide range of services that include law enforcement,
emergency management, fire and EMS services, animal services, library, museum and cultural
services, parks and recreation operations, road maintenance and construction. Additionally, the
County owns and operates a water and wastewater utility, a solid waste landfill and recycling
program, a landfill gas to energy facility, three airports and a transit system.
Budgets are prepared annually. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management
control throughout the year. The Board of County Commissioners conducts budget workshops
during June of each year. The Board’s proposed budget is released by July 15, in accordance with
Florida Statutes. The budgets of Constitutional Officers are presented to the appropriate
authorizing bodies according to state statute. Public hearings are held in September to allow
taxpayer input and to adopt the final budget.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Collier County, the state’s largest county at 2,026 square miles, is on the southwest coast of
Florida, directly west of Miami. With a 2016 population of 353,936 (a 6 percent increase over
the last ten years), Collier County has been considered to be one of the fastest growing counties
in the state over the last ten years. The resident population includes Unincorporated County
(pop. 314,323) and three municipalities: the Cities of Naples (pop. 21,512), Marco Island (pop.
17,690) and Everglades (pop. 411). The County’s economic base is concentrated in tourism,
agriculture, fishing, ranching and forestry with a growing services economy and an emerging
technology sector. Gulf of Mexico beaches and the Everglades National Park are important
attractions to this area.
Taxable property market valuation for fiscal year 2016 totaled $70.1 billion, or a very high
$198,027 per capita. The County’s millage for General Fund operations in fiscal year 2016
remained at only 36% of the statutory 10 mill limit, or $3.56 per thousand dollars of taxable value.
Unemployment levels in recent years approximate, or are slightly below, the statewide average.
The 2016 annual County unemployment rate stood at 4.9%, while the statewide average is 5.0%.
Income levels are high, with a per capita personal income of $78,473.
iii
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The County annually performs a three‐year projection of major ad valorem supported funds
(General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund) prior to
developing annual budget policy. On an annual basis the County prepares and adopts a five‐year
Capital Improvement Element (CIE). The CIE is a planning document that identifies public
facilities that will be required during the next five or more years. The Capital Improvement
Element is the foundation of Collier County’s annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The
total CIP projects planned for fiscal years 2017‐2021 is $764.6 million. Included in the County’s
current CIP for fiscal years 2017‐2021 are approximately $283.7 million in water and wastewater
projects, $281.6 million in transportation projects, $32.2 million in stormwater projects and
$35.6 million in government facilities projects. In addition, parks and recreation projects of
approximately $44.8 million are planned, as well as $43.8 million for tourist development funded
projects, $19.9 million in solid waste projects, $10.1 million in library projects, $9.5 million in
public safety projects and miscellaneous projects totaling $3.4 million. None of the fiscal year
2017 – 2021 Capital Improvement Program is currently planned to be funded by bond or loan
proceeds.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
Relevant financial policies include the appropriation of carryforward as revenue in the following
year, maintaining a recommended General Fund unassigned fund balance of between 8% and
16% of actual expenditures and net operating transfers, the assessment of impact fees at such
levels as allowed by law and supported by studies, and the earmarking of gas taxes for payment
of debt service on the Series 2012 and 2014 Gas Tax Revenue and Refunding Bonds.
Debt administration policies include the limitation of the debt repayment period to the useful
life of the underlying assets and the establishment of a 5% benchmark for net present value
savings generated by refinancing. The Collier County Debt Management Policy provides that a
smaller net present value savings may be considered, but only on a case‐by‐case basis. In
addition, the debt policy establishes a maximum ratio of total general governmental debt service
to bondable revenues from current sources of 13%.
Consistent with Collier County’s Debt Management Policy, outstanding debt is continually
monitored in relation to existing conditions in the debt market. When sufficient cost savings can
be realized debt will be refinanced. During fiscal year 2016, the County Water and Sewer District
refunded its remaining Series 2006 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds. This refinancing achieved
a net present value savings of over 5% and is further described in Note 6 to the financial
statements.
The Clerk’s Finance and Accounting Department monitors the daily cash needs of the County and
invests the County’s portfolio in accordance with the Collier County Investment Policy. The
primary objective of the investment policy is the preservation of capital and the protection of
investment principal. Authorized investments include certificates of deposit, the Local
Government Funds Surplus Trust Fund, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities,
commercial paper and bankers’ acceptances. The weighted average maturity of the total
managed portfolio, to first call or maturity, was .76 years as of September 30, 2016. The average
yield for fiscal year 2016 was .94%, which constitutes a reduction from historical rates, but an
iv
increase over recent years. Changes in the fair value of investments are recorded as part of
interest income in the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of Collier County, Florida (County), as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
entity’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate
discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the County as of September 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, the
Bayshore Gateway Redevelopment Agency special revenue fund, and the Immokalee Redevelopment
Agency special revenue fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management’s
discussion and analysis (MD&A) on pages 4 – 15, the schedules of the county’s proportionate share of
the net pension liability and of county contributions on page 81, and the other postemployment benefits
schedule of funding progress for the retiree health plan on page 82 be presented to supplement the
basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund
financial statements and other supplemental information, as listed in the table of contents, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance, as required
by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and Chapter 10.550, Local Governmental Entity
Audits, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, is also presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.

Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Other Matters (Continued)
Other Information (Continued)
The combining and individual fund financial statements and other supplemental information and the
schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section and the statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 22,
2017, on our consideration of the County's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(UNAUDITED)
As Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller of Collier County, Florida, I present the readers of the County’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Collier County for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2016. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented in this narrative in conjunction with additional
information offered in the letter of transmittal, found on pages i‐v of this report.
Financial Highlights
Collier County’s assets and deferred outflows exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows as of September
30, 2016 by $2,484,013,381. Of this amount, $171,764,839 represents unrestricted net position and may
be used to meet future County obligations.
The County’s total net position increased by $44,490,810 when compared to fiscal year 2015, with a
$27,322,069 increase from governmental activities and a $17,168,741 increase resulting from business‐
type activities.
As of September 30, 2016 Collier County’s governmental fund financial statements showed combined
ending fund balances of $441,586,665, an increase of $29,052,786 over the previous fiscal year. Of the
total combined ending governmental fund balance, $53,872,028 is reported as unassigned.
The General Fund reported an unassigned fund balance of $53,960,944 at September 30, 2016, a decrease
in unassigned General Fund balance of $1,041,240 when compared to September 30, 2015.
Total face value of bonded debt, notes, outstanding loans and capital leases owed by Collier County
decreased by $45,380,286 during fiscal year 2016, with a decrease in governmental activities debt of
$20,743,470 and a decrease in the business‐type activities debt of $24,636,816. In May of 2016, the
Collier County Water and Sewer District issued the Series 2016A County Water and Sewer Bonds to
current refund the remaining Series 2006 Collier County Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds. Additional
information on debt activity can be found in Note 6 to the financial statements beginning on page 54.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction and explanation of Collier County’s basic financial
statements. Collier County’s basic financial statements include government‐wide and fund financial statements, as well as
notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains a statistical section, single audit and other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government‐Wide Financial Statements
Government‐wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader an overview of the financial position of the County
and are similar to private sector financial statements. These statements are comprised of a Statement of Net Position and a
Statement of Activities and are found on pages 16 to 19 of this report.
The Statement of Net Position shows the financial position of Collier County as of September 30, 2016. The statement shows
the County’s assets plus deferred outflows of resources less its liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, with the
difference being reported as net position. Changes in net position are useful indicators of financial condition.
4
The Statement of Activities follows the Statement of Net Position and reports the changes in net position over the fiscal
period. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events that gave rise to the change occur,
regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported for some items, such as accounts
receivable, notes receivable or accrued unused vacation and sick leave, that will manifest themselves in cash inflows and
outflows, respectively, in future fiscal periods.
These statements distinguish Collier County functions that are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities), from business‐type activities, which are intended to have their costs primarily recovered through
user fees and charges.
Governmental activities reported in the financial statements are general government, public safety, physical environment,
transportation, economic environment, human services and culture and recreation. Business‐type activities in Collier County
include water and sewer, solid waste collections, airport operations, transit operations and emergency medical services.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a group of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated to meet specific
objectives. As dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, Collier County uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with financial legal requirements. The funds of the County can be divided into the following three
categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
Governmental funds
Governmental funds, presented on pages 20 to 28, account for substantially the same functions as governmental activities
reported under the government‐wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities. The difference is that the
governmental fund financial statements focus on inflows and outflows of expendable resources, as well as balances of
expendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year, on a near term basis. As such, these statements present a
narrower view of financial condition, but are nonetheless useful in evaluating Collier County’s near term financing
requirements and available resources.
Comparison between the two sets of financial statements allows the reader to better assess the future impact of the
government’s near term financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to the respective government‐wide financial statements
to facilitate comparison.
Governmental funds presented individually in Collier County’s statements include three major funds, the General Fund and
the Bayshore Gateway and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agencies. While there are many smaller governmental
funds under Collier County management, they are aggregated in a total column named “other governmental funds”.
Combining statements for these other governmental funds have been presented elsewhere in this report.
Collier County adopts an annual budget as described in Note 1 to the financial statements. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the General Fund and each major special revenue fund to demonstrate compliance with
this budget. Budgetary comparison schedules for any non‐major governmental fund required to adopt an annual budget is
presented in the combining statements presented elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary funds
Collier County maintains two different types of proprietary funds, enterprise and internal service, which are reflected on
pages 29 to 33 of this report.
Enterprise funds report, with more detail, the same functions presented as business‐type activities in the government‐wide
financial statements for water and sewer, solid waste disposal, emergency medical services, transit and the airport authority.
The Collier County Water and Sewer District Fund, the Solid Waste Disposal Fund and the Emergency Medical Services Fund
are presented individually as major funds.
5
Internal service funds are primarily maintained to allocate and accumulate costs internally for Collier County. The County
uses internal service funds to account for health insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, property and casualty
insurance, fleet operations and information technology. The internal service funds are presented in total in the proprietary
fund financial statements, but may be viewed on a combining basis elsewhere in the report.
Fiduciary funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of Collier County government. These
funds are not presented in the government‐wide financial statements as they do not represent resources available to support
Collier County functions. The fiduciary funds are presented on page 34 of this report. All of the County’s fiduciary funds are
agency funds. The accounting used for agency funds is based on the concept that assets equal liabilities when the government
is acting in a fiduciary capacity.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information essential to a full understanding of the data provided in both the government‐wide
and fund financial statements. The notes appear on pages 35 to 79 of this report.
Other Information
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules mentioned above present more detailed
views of nonmajor governmental and enterprise funds and begin on page 85. This section contains combining balance sheets
and statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance for governmental funds, including budgetary
comparisons, and combining statements of net position and statements of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net
position for enterprise funds. Also included are combining financial statements for internal service and agency funds.
Additional information about the County, which may be of interest to the reader, can be found under the Statistical and Single
Audit sections of this report. The statistical section has been prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section. This section contains data
regarding financial trends, revenue capacity, debt capacity, demographic and economic conditions and operating indicators
of the County. The Single Audit grants compliance section lists the expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial
Assistance during the fiscal year and presents grant compliance information as well as auditor reports.
Government‐Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. Assets and
deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $2,484,013,381 as of the fiscal year ending September 30,
2016 for Collier County. Positive balances were reported in all categories of net position in the governmental and business‐
type activities for fiscal year 2016, as well as fiscal year 2015. Collier County’s net position at September 30, 2016 decreased
by $6,449,867 for unrestricted net position and increased $33,835,875 for restricted net position. Restricted net position
consists of resources subject to external restriction on how they may be used while unrestricted net position may be used to
meet the County’s ongoing obligations. Increases in restricted net position were mainly due to a 40.0% increase in restricted
net position related to transportation capital projects and a 29.3% increase in total impact fee collections, which are restricted
for growth related capital expansion.
The fiscal year 2015 implementation of GASB Statements No. 68 and 71, related to pensions, had a significant impact on the
reporting of the County’s long term liabilities and net position for both governmental and business‐type activities. These
statements require the County to record its proportionate share of the long term liability and deferred inflows and outflows
associated with the Florida Retirement System’s defined pension benefit plan and the retiree health insurance subsidy
program.
6
Collier County’s investment in capital assets such as land, roads, buildings, parks and machinery and equipment, net of
depreciation or any outstanding debt related to the asset, amounts to 78.4% of net position as of September 30, 2016,
compared to 79.2% as of September 30, 2015. During fiscal year 2016, the County’s net investment in capital assets increased
by $17,104,802. Capital assets are used to provide services to the citizens and consequently do not represent spendable
resources and cannot be used to liquidate the debt incurred to purchase or construct capital assets.
The following are Collier County’s net position and changes in net position for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and
2016, shown in condensed form:

Governmental Activities
The current year increase in the net position of governmental activities amounted to $27,322,069, an increase of 1.8% when
compared to the previous year’s net position. The previous fiscal years’ increase in net position was 4.2%. The current years’
increase is mainly due to the following:
Overall, revenues related to governmental activities increased by 2.5%, or $12,960,436 while expenses
increased by 10.7%, or $47,490,517.
Governmental activities revenues increased primarily due to an increase in total ad valorem taxes
collected in fiscal year 2016 of $21,356,784 when compared to fiscal year 2015. In addition, Half Cent
Sales Tax and Gas Tax collections increased a combined 5.2% over fiscal year 2015, or $3,017,685.
Governmental activities expenses increased primarily due to increases in the public safety and general
government functional areas. Public safety expenses increased predominately due to an increase in
pension expense over the amount recognized in fiscal year 2015. General government expenses
increased due to increases in pension expense, salaries and maintenance expense related to facilities.
Business‐type Activities
The increase in net position related to business‐type activities amounted to $17,168,741 in the aggregate, representing a
1.9% increase over the previous year’s net position. The previous fiscal years’ increase in net position was also 1.9%. The
current years’ increase is mainly due to the following:
The majority of the increase, or $11,902,262, can be attributed to the Collier County Water and Sewer
District (District). The increase in the District’s net position is largely due to a 5.0% rate increase that went
in to effect October 1, 2015. In addition, water and sewer impact fee collections, charged to new
construction, increased by 7.9% when compared to fiscal year 2015.
Solid waste contributed $2,534,151 to the overall increase in business‐type activities net position. User
charges increased by $2,821,006, or 7.2% over fiscal year 2015, primarily as a result of a 6.9% increase in
residential and commercial municipal waste tonnage and construction and demolition waste being
accepted into the Naples landfill during fiscal year 2016. Operating costs increased primarily due to an
increase in landfill operating costs.
Emergency Medical Services contributed $2,751,781 to the overall increase in business‐type activities net
position. User charges increased by $866,066 over fiscal year 2015 as a result of a 3.5% increase in
ambulance calls over the same interval. Operating transfers from the governmental activities exceeded
the operating loss generated by the operation of Emergency Medical Services.
Fund Financial Statement Analysis
As mentioned above, Collier County utilizes fund accounting to ensure compliance with finance related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds provide information on near term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Unassigned
fund balance is a useful measure of net resources available to be spent at the end of the fiscal year. Governmental funds
consist of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Permanent Fund, Debt Service Funds and Capital Project Funds.
As of September 30, 2016, Collier County governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $441,586,665, an increase
of $29,052,786 when compared to prior year combined fund balances. The governmental funds had non‐spendable fund
balances of $6,730,508 consisting of inventory, prepaid items, notes receivable and General Fund and Other Governmental
Fund advances to other funds. The restricted fund balance was $324,597,817 and consists of monies whose expenditure is
externally constrained by grantors, creditors, binding law or enabling legislation. Of the remaining $110,258,340 in fund
11
balance, $26,069,145 is classified as committed, $30,317,167 is recorded as assigned and $53,872,028 is recorded as
unassigned.
The following were noteworthy activities and changes relating to the major governmental funds for fiscal year 2016:
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of Collier County. At September 30, 2016, total fund
balance in the General Fund was $59,573,533, of which $53,960,944 was unassigned. As a percentage of
total general fund expenditures and net transfers, the unassigned portion is 17.1%. The total fund balance
decreased by $618,110 or 1.0%, compared to the September 30, 2015 total fund balance.
The Bayshore Gateway Community Redevelopment Agency was created to benefit blighted areas in the
Bayshore Gateway Triangle. During fiscal year 2016, the Bayshore Gateway Community Redevelopment
Agency collected $1,124,200 in tax increment revenues and was reimbursed $81,037 for stormwater
improvements. In addition, the agency received $122,246 in miscellaneous revenues for rents. Operating
expenditures of $2,612,209 were associated with the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community
Redevelopment Agency, including a $2,155,231 write down of land held for resale. In addition, capital
expenditures of $90,042 were made for stormwater improvements.
The Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency was created to benefit blighted areas in Immokalee.
During fiscal year 2016, the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency collected $440,300 in tax
increment revenues. Operating expenditures of $381,889 were associated with the Immokalee
Community Redevelopment Agency.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary fund statements provide the same information as the business‐type activities in the government‐wide financial
statements, but in greater detail, and on a fund basis for enterprise funds.
At September 30, 2016, total net position amounted to $926,808,495 for enterprise funds, as compared to $909,442,595, as
of September 30, 2015, an increase of $17,365,900. Net position changes as a result of operations, non‐operating revenues
and expenses, capital contributions and grants and donations. The Collier County Water and Sewer District’s activities
represent the largest share of the increase in the business‐type net position.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Collier County Water and Sewer District reported capital grants and contributions
of $22,737,854, which consists of water and sewer impact fees of $13,643,674, $8,941,251 in developer infrastructure
contributions and other capital contributions of $152,929.

Net Operating Income/(Loss)
The Collier County Water and Sewer District’s net operating income decreased by $4,409,185 when compared to fiscal year
2015. The decrease in net operating income was primarily the result of a 10.1% increase in total operating expenses. The
District added eighteen (18) full time equivalent positions during fiscal year 2016. In addition, several substantial repair and
maintenance projects were performed during fiscal year 2016. County Water and Sewer payments in lieu of taxes paid to
the General Fund of $5,351,100 were reclassified from operating expense to operating transfers for financial statement
purposes. These payments are reclassified pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles as the amount charged is
not an approximation of services rendered.
12
The Solid Waste Disposal fund’s net operating income decreased by $109,162 when compared to fiscal year 2015. The
marginal change in net operating income was the result of a 6.9% increase in residential and commercial municipal waste
tonnage and construction and demolition waste offset by an increase in landfill operating costs during fiscal year 2016. Total
operating expenses, including depreciation, increased by $2,906,764, or 8.0%, when compared to fiscal year 2015. The Solid
Waste Disposal payments in lieu of taxes paid to the General Fund of $220,600 were reclassified from operating expense to
operating transfers for financial statement purposes. These payments are reclassified pursuant to generally accepted
accounting principles as the amount charged is not an approximation of services rendered.
The Emergency Medical Services fund’s net operating income decreased by $1,843,305 when compared to fiscal year 2015.
The decrease in net operating income was the result of an 11.3% increase in total operating cost, offset by an $866,066
increase in charges for services. Operating expenses increased mainly due to increased personal services costs, including
pension expense.
Capital Assets
Collier County’s financial statements present capital assets in two distinct groups, those that are depreciated and those not
subject to depreciation. Buildings and equipment are examples of assets that are depreciated and land and construction in
progress are examples of assets not depreciated. Collier County’s investment in capital assets for the governmental and
business‐type activities amounted to $2,469,722,865, net of accumulated depreciation. This investment in capital assets,
both purchased and donated, includes land, buildings and improvements, water and wastewater plants, machinery and
equipment, parks, roads, beach renourishment and drainage structures. Investment in capital assets for the current fiscal
year, net of depreciation, decreased by $11,784,789 when compared to the previous year. There was a decrease in the
governmental activities net capital assets of $6,250,938, or .4%, while the business‐type activities capital assets decreased by
$5,533,851, or .6%. The major capital asset activities during the current and previous fiscal years are as follows:

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During the current fiscal year, the General Fund expenditure appropriations increased by $3,184,406. Significant variances
between the original budget and the final amended budget are listed below:
$338,200 increase in charges for services and Clerk’s overall budget to recognize additional revenues
received and provide for additional data processing software and minor computer equipment.
$346,032 increase in County Attorney operating due to re‐budgeting of lapsed appropriations from the
previous fiscal year.
$637,160 increase in charges for services and Facilities Management operating related to an increase in
maintenance requests.
$1,233,000 increase in charges for services and Sheriff’s agency personal services related to special detail
duties.
$421,600 increase in Economic Development operating due to re‐budgeting of lapsed appropriations
from the previous fiscal year as well as additional funding for a Soft Landing Accelerator project.
Significant variances between actual results and final budget amounts in the General Fund occurred during fiscal year 2016.
Tax revenues were under budget by $9,232,643 primarily due to the early payment discount allowed for property taxes. The
discount ranges from a maximum 4% to 1%, depending on the date of payment. General Fund general government
expenditures were under budget primarily due to $1,673,668 in unspent budget related to goods and services contracted for
in 2016 that had not been received as of September 30, 2016 as well as an effort to reduce spending in all departments.
14

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of Collier County, Florida (County) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for governmental entities (GAAP). The more significant of the County’s
accounting policies are described below.
THE REPORTING ENTITY
Entity status for financial reporting purposes is governed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No.
14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended. The GASB is the standard setting body for the establishment of GAAP in
governmental entities. Determination of the financial reporting entity of the County is founded upon the objective of
accountability. These financial statements include the County government (the primary government) and two types of legally
separate component units (blended and discrete). Component units are legally separate agencies that the primary government
is financially accountable for or organizations which should be included in the reporting entity because of the nature and
significance of their relationship with the primary government.
Financial accountability is determined by the primary government's ability to appoint the voting majority of the entity's board
and impose its will on the organization or there is a potential specific financial benefit/burden relationship. Financial
accountability also exists if an organization is fiscally dependent and there is potential specific financial benefit/burden
relationship.
The primary government consists of Collier County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida that was established in 1923
by the Florida State Legislature. The County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners which consists of five members
elected within single member districts. In addition, there are five separately elected Constitutional Officers: the Tax Collector,
Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller and Supervisor of Elections. The Constitutional Officers
are elected county wide. Under the direction of the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the Finance and Accounting

members from the component units' Boards. The Authorities maintain their own financial records, but do not issue separate
financial statements. GASB No. 14, as amended, requires that the financial data of the following organizations be reported in
separate columns to emphasize that they are legally separate from the County.
Collier County Housing Finance Authority ‐ The Authority was formed in 1980 by Collier County Ordinance 80‐66 for the
purpose of stimulating the construction of residential housing for low and moderate income families through the use of public
financing. Their financial position and results of operations are reported in the accompanying financial statements and the
outstanding conduit debt issued by the Authority is disclosed in Note 7, “Conduit Debt Obligations”.
Collier County Health Facilities Authority ‐ The Authority was established in 1979 by Collier County Ordinance 79‐95 for the

position and results of operations are reported in the accompanying financial statements and the outstanding conduit debt
issued by the Authority is disclosed in Note 7, “Conduit Debt Obligations”.
Collier County Industrial Development Authority ‐ The Authority was created in 1978 by Collier County Resolution 78‐94,
rescinded and replaced by Resolution 79‐34, to facilitate the financing of projects that promote economic growth and increase
opportunities for employment in the County. Their financial position and results of operations are reported in the
accompanying financial statements and the outstanding conduit debt issued by the Authority is disclosed in Note 7, “Conduit
Debt Obligations”.
Collier County Educational Facilities Authority ‐ The Authority was created in 1999 by Collier County Resolution 99‐17 to assist
institutions for higher education in the construction, financing and refinancing of projects. Their financial position and results
of operations are reported in the accompanying financial statements and the outstanding conduit debt issued by the Authority
is disclosed in Note 7, “Conduit Debt Obligations”.
Financial information on the individual component units can be obtained from their respective administrative offices or from

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Certain separate legal entities within the County are autonomous organizations with their own governmental powers and
constituencies. These entities, which are not included in these financial statements, are as follows:
The Cities of Naples, Marco Island and Everglades ‐ The Cities of Naples, Marco Island and Everglades are in the boundaries of
Collier County. Each of these entities has a separately elected board and separate budgeting, accounting and reporting
requirements.
Collier County School Board ‐ The Collier County School Board operates countywide and is completely separate and
autonomous. The School Board has five elected board members and a superintendent of schools and operates under
regulations prescribed by the State Board of Education and the Florida Statutes. It levies its own taxes and receives part of its
income from the State of Florida.
GOVERNMENT‐WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The basic financial statements are made up of the government‐wide financial statements and fund financial statements. Both
of these sets of financial statements distinguish between the governmental and business‐type activities of Collier County. The
government‐wide financial statements consist of a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities. These statements
report on the financial condition of Collier County, at the reporting entity level. Internal balances represent net amounts due
between the governmental and business‐type activities. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated
from the government‐wide financial statements with the exception of interfund services provided and used. The internal
service activity has also been eliminated from the government‐wide financial statements. Aggregate internal service fund
activity is reported in full as a single column in the proprietary fund financial statements. Fiduciary funds are not included in
these presentations as their assets do not represent amounts that are available for Collier County government operations. The
Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of Collier County’s governmental and business‐type
activities. Net position equals assets plus deferred outflows of resources minus liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources,
and is shown in three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted net position and unrestricted net position. The
Statement of Activities reports results of operations on a functional activity (program) basis and demonstrates to what degree
the particular program has been self‐supporting.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service, program or department and, thus are clearly
identifiable to a particular function. The effect of indirect expense allocations has been eliminated in the government‐wide
financial statements. Depreciation expense for capital assets that can specifically be identified with a function is recorded as a
direct expense of that function. Depreciation for capital assets that serve all functions is recorded as a direct expense of the
general government function on the government‐wide Statement of Activities. All interest on general long term debt is
considered indirect and is reported separately in the government‐wide Statement of Activities.
Program revenues are reported in the following three categories: charges for services, operating grants and contributions and
capital grants and contributions. Charges for services are amounts charged to customers for a particular service, and are netted
against the cost of the relevant program. Internal charges for indirect services are allocated across functions as direct expenses.
Grants and contributions refer to revenues restricted for capital or operational use in a particular program. The general revenue
category encompasses all other revenue types and represents revenue collected to support all functions of Collier County
government.
The fund financial statements follow the government‐wide statements and report more detailed information about operations
of major funds on an individual basis and nonmajor funds on an aggregate basis for the governmental and proprietary funds.
Following the governmental fund balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances are
reconciliations explaining the differences between the governmental fund presentation and the government‐wide
presentation.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following are reported as major governmental funds:
General Fund – the General Fund is the general operating fund of the County. All general tax revenues and
other receipts that are not accounted for in other funds are accounted for in the General Fund. The general
operating funds of the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of
Elections and Tax Collector are presented together with the Board of County Commissioners' general
operating fund in the County’s consolidated General Fund.
Bayshore/Gateway and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area Special Revenue Funds – the
Redevelopment funds are used to account for the receipt and expenditure of tax increment revenues
generated by the Bayshore/Gateway and Immokalee Community Redevelopment Areas.
The following are reported as major enterprise funds:
County Water and Sewer Fund – the County Water and Sewer fund is used to account for the provision of
water, wastewater and effluent services to certain portions of the County’s unincorporated area.
Solid Waste Disposal Fund – the Solid Waste Disposal fund is used to account for the provision of solid waste
disposal services to users throughout the County.
Emergency Medical Services – the Emergency Medical Services fund is used to account for the provision of
emergency ambulance and paramedical services to users throughout the County.
Collier County also maintains the following nonmajor fund types:
Special Revenue Funds – Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specific purposes other than debt service or
capital projects.
Permanent Fund – Permanent funds are used to account for resources that were legally restricted to the
extent that only earnings and not principal may be spent. Collier County operates a permanent fund to defray
costs associated with the maintenance and management of conservation land.
Debt Service Funds – Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources that are
restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest related to long‐term obligations.
Capital Project Funds – Capital project funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources that are
restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays including the acquisition or construction
of capital facilities and other capital assets.
Enterprise Funds – Enterprise funds are used to account for activities for which a fee is charged to external
users for goods or services.
Internal Service Funds – Internal service funds are used to account for the provision of goods and services by
one department to other departments within the County or to other governmental units on a cost
reimbursement basis. Collier County currently reports the following Internal Service Funds: Self Insurance,
Sheriff’s Self Insurance, Fleet Management, Motor Pool Capital Recovery and Information Technology.

Agency Funds – Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not report the results of operations (assets equal
liabilities). Agency funds are clearing accounts for assets held by the government as an agent for individuals,
private organizations or other governments. The Board of County Commissioners, Sheriff, Clerk of the Circuit
Court and Comptroller and Tax Collector all maintain agency funds.
MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources (current assets less
current liabilities) or economic resources (all assets and liabilities). Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and
expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The basis of accounting
relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied
The government‐wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation
of these funds are included on the Statement of Net Position and the operating statements present increases (i.e., revenues)
and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in
which they are earned and measurable, and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Grant and similar revenues are
recognized when eligibility requirements are met. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non‐
operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the
cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting
this definition are reported as non‐operating revenues and expenses.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are
included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing
sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Under the modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period.
Generally, revenues are considered available when they are collected within the current period or within 60 days after the end
of the fiscal year. Grant revenues are an exception and are considered available when eligibility requirements are met. Primary
revenues which have been treated as susceptible to accrual include, where material, charges for services, interest earnings and
certain taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Property taxes are discussed later in Note 1. Expenditures are recorded when
the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include accrued compensated absences and principal and
interest on long‐term debt.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, restricted resources will be used first for incurred expenses,
and then unrestricted as needed. When using the unrestricted resources, committed amounts would be reduced first, followed
by assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of
those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY DATA
The following are the statutory procedures followed by the Board of County Commissioners in establishing the budgets for the
County:
1)Within fifteen days after certification of the ad valorem tax roll by the Property Appraiser, the County
budget officer prepares and presents to the Board a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget
includes all estimated receipts and all estimated expenditures, reserves and balances to be carried forward
at the end of the year as specified in Section 129.03, Florida Statutes.
2)Within eighty days of the certification of value, but not earlier than sixty‐five days after certification, the
Board holds a public hearing on the tentative budget and proposed millage rate. At this hearing the Board
amends and adopts the tentative budget, recomputes the proposed millage rate, and announces publicly
the percentage, if any, by which the recomputed proposed millage rate exceeds the rolled‐back rate. If the
millage rate tentatively adopted exceeds that proposed, each taxpayer within the jurisdiction is notified of
the increase by first class mail, at the expense of the Board.
3)Within fifteen days of the meeting adopting the tentative budget, the Board advertises the County's intent
to adopt a final budget and millage rate.
4)A public hearing is held by the Board to finalize the budget and adopt a millage rate. This hearing is held
not less than two days and not more than five days after the day that the advertisement is first published.
Prior to September 30, the millage levy is adopted by a separate vote. The millage rate adopted is not
allowed to exceed the tentatively adopted millage rate, except as allowed for by emergency provision with
strict public notice requirements. This is followed by the approval and ratification of the final budget.
5)The resolution approved at the final hearing is forwarded to the Property Appraiser, Tax Collector and
Florida Department of Revenue, not later than thirty days following the adoption of the Resolution, the
Board certifies to the State of Florida, Department of Revenue, Division of Ad Valorem Tax, that it has
complied with the provisions of Chapter 200, Florida Statutes.
6)The County Manager approves interdepartmental budget changes within the same fund and division of
$50,000 or less that do not impact reserves or recognize revenue. All other budgetary changes must be
approved by the Board of County Commissioners as matter of policy. The initial adopted budget was
amended in accordance with Florida Statutes.
7)Florida State Section 129.07, as amended in 1978, provides that expenditures in excess of total fund budgets
are unlawful. However, because the Board approves all budgetary changes between departments, except
those approved by the County Manager, the departmental budget becomes the level of control.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the fiscal year for all funds. Budgets have
been legally adopted by the Board for all Board departments except for the agency funds and the Impact Fees Escrow special
revenue fund. The Property Appraiser and the Tax Collector adopt budgets for their general funds independently of the Board.
The Clerk of Courts operates as a fee officer, and as such, prepares its budget in accordance with Section 218.35, Florida
Statutes.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
The Sheriff and Supervisor of Elections prepare budgets for their general funds, which are submitted to and approved by the
Board. The Clerk of Court’s budget for court related functions is prepared according to Section 28.36 Florida Statutes and
submitted to the Clerks of Court Operations Corporation for approval by the Legislative Budget Commission.
Budgets are adopted for all governmental departments except as described in the previous paragraph. These budgets are
adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) except for certain non‐budgeted revenues
and expenditures and mark to market activity on investments. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of the current
year. For further information regarding encumbrances, refer to Note 16 on page 78.
Capital project costs are budgeted in the year they are anticipated to be obligated. In subsequent years, the unused budget is
reappropriated until the project is completed. Proprietary funds are budgeted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles, except that capital related and debt transactions are based upon cash receipts and disbursements.
Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process.
For purposes of the budgetary presentation, certain transactions that have been accounted for in the governmental funds
statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances have not been reflected in the budgetary financial
statements. Specifically, bad debt expense and the net change in fair value of investments are not presented in the budget to
actual statements.
CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Florida Statutes Section 218.415 establishes guidelines for Florida local government investment policies. The County’s current
investment policy, as amended, was adopted December 9, 2014 by Resolution 2014‐260 and is consistent with the
requirements of that statute. This investment policy authorized the following investments:
1)U.S. Treasury and Government Guaranteed – U.S. Treasury obligations and obligations the principal and interest of
which are backed or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government;
2)Federal Agency/Government Sponsored Enterprise – Debt obligations, participations or other instruments issued or
fully guaranteed by any U.S. Federal agency, instrumentality or government sponsored enterprise;
3)Corporates – U.S. dollar denominated corporate notes, bonds or other debt obligations issued or guaranteed by a
domestic corporation, financial institution, non‐profit or other entity;
4)Municipals – Obligations, including both taxable and tax‐exempt, issued or guaranteed by any State, territory or
possession of the United States, political subdivision, public corporation, authority, agency board, instrumentality or
other unit of local government of any State or territory;
5)Agency Mortgage Backed Securities – Mortgage backed securities, backed by residential, multi‐family or commercial
mortgages, that are issued or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by a U.S. Federal agency or government

mortgage investment conduits;
6)Non‐Negotiable Certificates of Deposit ‐ Non‐negotiable interest bearing time certificates of deposit or savings
accounts in banks organized under the laws of this state or in national banks organized under the laws of the United
States and doing business in this state, provided that any such deposits are secured by the Florida Security for Public
Deposits Act, Chapter 280, Florida Statutes;

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
7) Depository Bank Account – Negotiated Order of Withdrawal accounts in banks organized under the laws of this state
or in national banks organized under the laws of the United States and doing business in this state, provided that any
such deposits are secured by the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, Chapter 280, Florida Statutes;
8) Commercial Paper – U.S. dollar denominated commercial paper issued or guaranteed by a domestic corporation,
company, financial institution, trust or other entity, including both unsecured debt and asset backed programs;
9) Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements must be governed by written agreement, counterparty must be a
Federal Reserve Bank, a Primary Dealer or a nationally chartered commercial bank. Acceptable underlying securities
must be direct obligations of, or that are fully guaranteed by, the United States or any agency of the United States, or
U.S. Agency backed mortgage related securities with an aggregate current market value of at least 102% (or 100% if
the counterparty is a Federal Reserve Bank) of the purchase price plus current accrued price differential;
10) Money Market Funds – Shares in open end and no load money market mutual funds, provided such funds are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and operate in accordance with Security and Exchange
Commission Rule 2a‐7;
11) Fixed‐Income Mutual Funds – Shares on open end and no load fixed income mutual funds whose underlying
investments would be permitted for purchase under the investment policy and all its restrictions;
12) Local Government Investment Pools – State, local government or privately sponsored investment pools that are
authorized pursuant to state law;
13) The Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Funds (Florida Prime).
The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Investment income is allocated to
individual funds based upon their average daily balance in the cash and investment pool. Each fund’s individual equity in the
County’s cash and investment pool is considered to be a cash equivalent as the funds can deposit or withdraw cash at any time
without notice or penalty. The statement of cash flows for the proprietary funds also uses this methodology.
Investments in debt securities are recorded at fair value based upon values obtained from an independent pricing service.
Investments in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Florida Prime) are stated at fair value. The County categorizes
its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 72, “Fair Value Measurements and Application”.
Florida PRIME is considered a qualifying external investment pool that meets all of the necessary criteria to elect to measure
all of the investments at amortized cost. Therefore, the fair value of the County’s position in the pool is the same as the value
of the pool shares. The Florida PRIME investments are not categorized because they are not evidenced by securities that exist
in physical or book entry form. Throughout the year, and as of September 30, 2016, Florida PRIME contained certain floating
and adjustable rate securities. These investments represented 27.6 percent of Florida PRIME’s portfolio at September 30, 2016.
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79, “Certain External Investment Pools and Pool
Participants”, as a participant in a qualifying external investment pool, the County should disclose the presence of any
limitations or restrictions on withdrawals (such as redemption notice periods, maximum transaction amounts, and the
qualifying external investment pool’s authority to impose liquidity fees or redemption gates) in notes to the financial
statements.

COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
With regard to redemption gates, Chapter 218.409(8)(a), Florida Statutes, states that "The principal, and any part thereof, of
each account constituting the trust fund is subject to payment at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the
Executive Director may, in good faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of
the trust fund, for 48 hours limit contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that the Board can invest moneys
entrusted to it in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action must be immediately disclosed to all participants, the
Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government
Advisory Council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting as soon as practicable from the time the Executive Director
has instituted such measures and review the necessity of those measures. If the Trustees are unable to convene an emergency
meeting before the expiration of the 48‐hour moratorium on contributions and withdrawals, the moratorium may be extended
by the Executive Director until the Trustees are able to meet to review the necessity for the moratorium. If the Trustees agree
with such measures, the Trustees shall vote to continue the measures for up to an additional 15 days. The Trustees must
convene and vote to continue any such measures before the expiration of the time limit set, but in no case may the time limit
set by the Trustees exceed 15 days."
With regard to liquidity fees, Florida Statute 218.409(4) provides authority for the SBA to impose penalties for early withdrawal,
subject to disclosure in the enrollment materials of the amount and purpose of such fees. At present, no such disclosure has
been made.
As of September 30, 2016, there were no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any other requirements that
serve to limit a participant's daily access to 100 percent of their account value.
RECEIVABLES
All trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for uncollectibles, which is generally a year except for Emergency Medical
Services receivable which uses an estimated uncollectible percentage.
INVENTORIES AND PREPAID COSTS
Inventory is valued at cost using the first‐in, first‐out method. Inventory in the governmental funds consists of supplies held
for consumption. The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time inventory items are consumed rather than when
purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid
items. Inventories and prepaid costs reported within governmental funds are classified as non‐spendable, which indicates that
they do not constitute available resources. Inventories and prepaid costs in the government‐wide and proprietary fund
financial statements are reported as an expense when consumed.
Inventory held for resale consists of real estate holdings, acquired through various programs, which the County intends to sell.
The value of these properties includes the original purchase price plus the cost of any rehabilitation. Inventory held for resale
of $9,796,692 is classified as restricted, which indicates that they do not constitute available resources.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure (e.g., roads and bridges, water and wastewater
systems, drainage systems and similar items), are reported in the proprietary fund financial statements and in the
governmental or business‐type activities columns in the government‐wide financial statements. Capital assets are reported at
cost where historical records are available and at estimated fair value in the absence of historical cost records. Capital
contributions are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date donated.

COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
The County capitalizes expenditures with a cost of $1,000 or more and with a useful life in excess of one year. Betterments
and major improvements which significantly increase value, change capacity or extend useful lives are also capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses. The cost of capital assets retired or sold, together
with the related accumulated depreciation, is removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is
credited or charged to earnings in the government‐wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight‐line method. The estimated useful life of the various classes of depreciable capital
assets is as follows:
Capital Asset Class Estimated Useful Life
Buildings 20‐45 years
Infrastructure 3‐30 years
Improvements other than buildings 4‐45 years
Machinery and equipment 3‐20 years
CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In the government‐wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements capital lease obligations and the related
cost of assets acquired are reflected in the Statement of Net Position. For capital lease obligations originating in governmental
funds, an expenditure for the asset and the offsetting other financing source is reflected in the fund financial statements in the
year of inception.
DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to
a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The deferred
outflows of resources reported in the County’s statement of net position represent changes in actuarial assumptions, the net
difference between projected and actual earnings on investments, changes in the proportion and differences between the
County’s contributions and proportionate share of contributions and the County’s contributions subsequent to the
measurement date, relating to the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan and the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program.
In addition, deferred outflows related to the difference between expected and actual economic experience relating to the
Florida Retirement System Pension were reported. These amounts will be recognized as increases in pension expense in future
years. The County also reports the deferred charge on refunding as a deferred outflow in the proprietary and government wide
statements of net position. A deferred charge results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its
reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The deferred inflows of
resources reported in the County’s statement of net position represent the difference between expected and actual economic
experience and changes in the proportion and differences between the County’s contributions and proportionate share of
contributions relating to the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan and the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program. These
amounts will be recognized as reductions in pension expense in future years. The County has also recorded amounts associated
with long term receivables, primarily related to deferred impact fee agreements, as deferred inflows.

BOND PREMIUMS, LOSS ON DEFEASANCE AND ISSUANCE COSTS
Bond premiums and bond insurance costs for the governmental activities and the business‐type activities are deferred and
amortized over the term of the bonds using the straight‐line method which approximates the effective interest method. Bond
premiums are presented as an increase to the face amount of bonds payable, while bond insurance costs are recorded as
deferred charges and shown on the face of the Statement of Net Position as a component of noncurrent assets.
Pursuant to GASB No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the gain or loss on defeasance of debt is reported
as a deferred inflow or outflow of resources. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of
the refunded debt and the net carrying amount at the time of the refunding. The gain or loss is amortized on a straight line
basis over the shorter of the life of the new debt or the remaining life of the old debt as a component of interest expense.
In the governmental fund financials, bond premiums and issuance costs, including bond insurance costs, are recognized in the
current period. The face amount of debt is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are also
reported as other financing sources. Issuance costs, including bond insurance costs, whether or not they have been paid from
debt proceeds are reported as debt service expenditures.
INTEREST COST
In the proprietary funds, interest costs are expensed or capitalized as required by GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of
Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre‐November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements.
PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes become due and payable on November 1st of each year and become delinquent on April 1st of the following
year. Property taxes receivable and a corresponding allowance for uncollectible property taxes are not included in the financial
statements, as delinquent taxes as of September 30, 2016 are not significant. Discounts on property taxes are allowed for
payments made prior to the April 1st delinquent date as follows: November ‐ 4%, December ‐ 3%, January ‐ 2%, and February

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those estimated.
UNEARNED REVENUE
In instances where assets have been received by the County for services to be rendered in future periods, asset balances are
offset by an unearned revenue liability account in the financial statements. Unearned revenues of the County as of September
30, 2016 are gift certificates issued and prepayments on accounts.
ACCRUED COMPENSATED ABSENCES
The County follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences. This statement provides
for the measurement of accrued vacation leave and other compensated absences using the pay or salary rates in effect at the
balance sheet date. It also requires additional amounts to be accrued for certain salary related payments associated with the
payment of compensated absences.
It is the Board of County Commissioners’ policy to allow employees of record on August 2, 1996 a sick leave payment upon
termination for any service period earned prior to August 2, 1996 and a payout of unused vacation up to 440 hours for all
employees. The Sheriff’s policy allows for a percentage of unused sick leave payout based upon years of service, not to exceed
1,000 hours, and up to 500 hours of unused vacation time. Both the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s and Tax
Collector’s policies allow for a percentage of unused sick leave payout based upon years of service, and up to 240 hours of
unused vacation hours. The Property Appraiser’s policy allows for a percentage of unused sick leave payout based upon years
of service, not to exceed 1,040 hours, and up to 200 hours of unused vacation hours. The Supervisor of Election’s policy allows
for a percentage of unused sick leave payout based upon years of service, and up to 440 hours of unused vacation.
Payments for compensated absences are made by the respective fund. Accrued compensated absences are recorded as
liabilities in the government‐wide financial statements and the proprietary fund financials. A liability is reported in
governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements, and are
considered due and payable as of year end.
PENSIONS
In the government‐wide and proprietary funds statements of net position, liabilities are recognized for the County’s
proportionate share of each pension plan’s net pension liability. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Florida Retirement
System (FRS) defined benefit plan and the Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) and additions to/deductions from FRS’s and HIS’s
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the FRS and HIS plans. For this purpose,
plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and refunds of employee
contributions are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The County’s
investment policy limits credit risk by restricting authorized investments to the Florida Local Government Surplus Trust Fund
(Florida PRIME), direct obligations of, or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, U.S.
government sponsored Corporation/Instrumentalities (except for Student Loan Marketing Association), certificates of deposit
collateralized by U.S. Government Securities or Agencies, fixed income mutual funds collateralized by U.S. Government
Securities or Agencies, domestic bankers’ acceptances rated “AA” or higher, prime commercial paper rated “A‐1” and “P‐1”,
tax‐exempt obligations rated “AA” or higher and issued by state or local governments, NOW accounts fully collateralized in
accordance with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes and qualifying repurchase agreements. The policy requires that each firm
involved in a repurchase agreement must execute the County’s master repurchase agreement, a third party custodian must
hold collateral for all repurchase agreements with a term of more than one day and the market value of the collateral shall
maintain a minimum price of 101 percent on U.S. Government securities and 104 percent on Agencies and Instrumentalities
with a term over five (5) years, and must be marked to market at least weekly. Florida PRIME is an investment pool
administered by the State Board of Administration (SBA), under the regulatory oversight of the State of Florida. At September
30, 2016, the Sheriff had $746,297 invested in the State Board of Administration’s Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund
Investment Pool. All of these funds are held in the Florida PRIME pool. Florida PRIME is rated “AAAm” by Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Services.
All cash deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public
Deposits Act". Under the Act, all qualified public depositories are required to pledge eligible collateral having a market value
equal to or greater than the average daily or monthly balance of all public deposits, multiplied by the depository's collateral
pledging level. The pledging level may range from 25% to 200% depending upon the depository's financial condition. Any
losses to public deposits are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral, and if necessary,
assessments against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default.
CUSTODIAL CREDIT RISK
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government
will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. At September 30, 2016, the County had demand deposits of $195,836,371. All balances in excess of the Federal
Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance for these demand deposits are fully collateralized by the multiple financial
institutions’ collateral pool in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 280. The discretely presented component unit demand
deposits of $292,288 are secured by the FDIC as individual entity balances do not exceed $250,000. Custodial credit risk for
investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to
recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The County’s
investment policy requires execution of a third‐party custodial safekeeping agreement for purchased securities and collateral,
and requires that securities be held in the County’s name.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. One of
the primary objectives of the investment policy is to match investment cash flow and maturity with known cash needs and
anticipated cash flow requirements. The County limits exposure to interest rate risk by structuring the portfolio to meet daily
cash flow demands. Investments shall have an average maturity of not more than five years, except for mortgage securities.
Mortgage securities will not be used to match liabilities that are reasonably definable as to amount and disbursement date and
are used to invest funds associated with reserves or liabilities that are not associated with a specifically identified cash flow
schedule.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurements and Application, sets forth the framework for measuring fair value. That
framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy under GASB Statement No. 72 are described as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets that the County has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Unobservable inputs, if any, reflect the County’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances and may include the County’s own data.
The County has the following recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2016:
US Treasury Notes classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy were valued using prices quoted in active markets for
those securities. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the County’s US Treasury Notes was $59,015,312.
US Agency obligations classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy were valued using quoted prices for similar assets in
active markets for those securities. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the County’s US Agency obligations was
$496,286,034.

The County has multi and single‐family home rehabilitation and homeownership loan programs funded under the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Loan Program (HOME), Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI),
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) and the State Housing Initiative Partnership Program (SHIP). If the homeowners
remain in their homes for the full term of the deferred loan, the loan is forgiven. If the property is transferred or sold before
the end of the loan period, the proceeds from the repayment including interest, if any, are then repaid and returned to the
appropriate grant program. A lien is placed against the property to ensure the repayment of the loan and interest, if any. As
collection is uncertain on these loans, they are not recognized in the financial statements.

Interfund receivables and payables generally result from recording the excess fees associated with Tax Collector and Property
Appraiser services, as excess fees are allocated from the General Fund back to the funds that paid for the collection services.
Excess fees are calculated after year end, and as such are interfund receivables and payables. Other outstanding balances are
the result of time delays between the provision and payment of interfund services and to cover temporary cash deficits.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
According to County resolutions authorizing the issuance of the Series 2010, 2010B, 2011 and 2013 Special Obligation
Refunding Revenue Bonds, the County has covenanted, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to appropriate in its
annual budget, by amendment if necessary, from non‐ad valorem revenues amounts sufficient to pay principal and interest on
the combined Special Obligation Bonds.
According to County resolutions authorizing the issuance of the Series 2012 and 2014 Gas Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, the
issues are payable from and secured by liens on gas tax revenues.
Bayshore Gateway Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) tax increment revenues are pledged for the repayment of the
Agency’s Series 2013 taxable note. The Agency has additionally covenanted to budget and appropriate from all legally available
non‐ad valorem revenues of the Agency to pay the Series 2013 note to the extent the tax increment revenues are insufficient.
The Series 2013 note does not constitute an indebtedness of the County and is payable solely from the security provided by
the Agency. The Agency is required to have a debt service reserve balance of $800,000 as of the end of fiscal year 2016. The
Agency was in compliance with these covenants for the year ended September 30, 2016.
The County Water and Sewer District (District) has pledged future water and sewer customer revenues, net of certain operating
expenses, to repay $72,832,398 in Series 2013, 2015 and 2016 revenue bonds. Proceeds from the bonds were used for the
refinancing of bonds issued for rehabilitation or expansion of the District’s water and sewer systems. Principal and interest are
payable through July 1, 2036, solely from the net revenues and certain other fees and charges derived from operation of the
County's Water and Sewer District (District). The pledge of net revenues by the District from the operation of the system does
not constitute a lien upon the system or any other property of the County. The resolutions authorizing the revenue bonds
include an obligation for the District to fix, establish and maintain such rates and collect such fees so as to provide in each year
net revenues, as defined in the bond resolutions, which together with system development fees (impact fees) and special
assessment proceeds (if applicable) received shall be at least 125% of the annual debt service requirements for the bonds;
provided, however, that net revenues in each fiscal year shall be adequate to pay at least 100% of the annual debt service on
the bonds. Fiscal year 2016 pledged revenues, net of operating expenses, were $40,982,058 and $54,625,732 when system
development fees were included. Principal and interest paid on the bonds during fiscal year 2016 totaled $6,827,648, providing
coverage of 600% and 800%, respectively. In addition, bond covenants require a renewal and replacement amount equal to
$300,000 in the District funds. The District was in compliance with these covenants for the year ended September 30, 2016.
The District has several State Revolving Fund loans outstanding with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
These loans are collateralized by a lien on pledged revenues consisting of net revenues from the operations of the County
Water and Sewer System and system development fees. The lien is subordinate in all respects to the liens placed upon pledged
revenues established by bonded indebtedness. The District must maintain rates and charges for services which together with
system development fees are sufficient to pay 115% to 125%, depending upon the individual loan agreement, of the annual
debt service requirements on the loans, as well as satisfy the coverage requirements of all senior debt obligations. The District’s
State Revolving Fund loans were in compliance with these covenants for the year ended September 30, 2016.

NOTE 8 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
BACKGROUND
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a defined benefit pension plan
for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the
defined benefit plan and amended in 2000 to provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for
FRS members effective July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment Plan. Chapter
112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Program, a cost‐sharing multiple‐employer defined
benefit pension plan, to assist retired members of any State‐administered retirement system in paying the costs of health
insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the County are eligible to enroll as members of the State‐administered FRS. Provisions
relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122, Florida Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter
238, Florida Statutes; and FRS Rules, Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions and benefits
are defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single
retirement system administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of
the two cost sharing, multiple employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A comprehensive annual
financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements, required supplementary information, actuarial report, and

FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM PENSION PLAN
PLAN DESCRIPTION
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost‐sharing multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan, with
a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement officers, meet the criteria to qualify for
this class.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service and employees enrolled in the FRS
Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable service. All vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible
for normal retirement benefits at age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special risk
who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service. All members enrolled in the
FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years
of creditable service, except for members classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or
at any age after 30 years of service. Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4 years of credit for military service
toward creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early retirement provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for
each year a member retires before his or her normal retirement date. The FRS Plan provides retirement, disability, death
benefits, and annual cost‐of‐living adjustments to eligible participants.
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for normal retirement under the
FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with an FRS participating employer. An
employee may participate in DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain
instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP participation, deferred monthly
benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP
participants, as these members are considered retired and are not accruing additional pension benefits.
BENEFITS PROVIDED
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final compensation, and service
credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the average final compensation. For members initially
enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members
initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 8 highest fiscal years’ earnings.
The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total value of all service, which is based on
the retirement class to which the member belonged when the service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in‐line‐of‐
duty or regular disability and survivors’ benefits.

As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS before July 1, 2011, and all service
credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost‐of‐living adjustment is 3 percent per year. If the member is initially
enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost‐of‐living
adjustment. The annual cost‐of‐living adjustment is a proportion of 3 percent determined by dividing the sum of the pre‐July
2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3 percent. FRS Plan members initially enrolled on or
after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost‐of‐living adjustment after retirement.
CONTRIBUTIONS
The Florida Legislature establishes contribution rates for participating employers and employees. Effective July 1, 2011, all FRS
Plan members (except those in DROP) are required to make 3% employee contributions on a pretax basis. The employer
contribution rates by job class for the periods from October 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and from July 1, 2016 through
September 30, 2016, respectively, were as follows: Regular employees‐7.26% and 7.52%; County Elected Officials‐42.27% and
42.47%; Senior Management Services‐21.43% and 21.77%; and DROP participants‐12.88% and 12.99%. The County’s
contributions to the FRS Plan were $20,563,824 for the year ended September 30, 2016.
PENSION COSTS
At September 30, 2016, the County reported a liability of $195,167,590 for its proportionate share of the FRS Plan’s net pension
liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016. The County’s proportion of the net pension liability
was based on the County’s contributions received by FRS during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from
July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of FRS’s participating
employers. At June 30, 2016, the County’s proportion was 0.772939%, which was an increase of 0.036832% from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2015.

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability in the July 1, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions,
applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.60% per year
Salary Increases 3.25%, Average, Including Inflation
Investment Rate of Return 7.60%, Net of Pension Plan Investment Expense
Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP‐2000 with Projection Scale BB. The actuarial assumptions used in the July
1, 2016, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2013.
The long‐term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was not based on historical returns, but instead is based
on a forward‐looking capital market economic model. The allocation policy’s description of each asset class was used to map
the target allocation to the asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying
assumptions, and includes an adjustment for the inflation assumption.

DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.60% for the FRS Plan. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the rate specified in statute.
Based on that assumption, each of the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long‐term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE SUBSIDY PROGRAM
PLAN DESCRIPTION
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost‐sharing multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan
established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit
is a monthly payment to assist retirees of State‐administered retirement systems in paying th eir health insurance costs and is
administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.

COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
NOTE 8 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – CONTINUED
BENEFITS PROVIDED
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment of $5 for each year
of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment
of $150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under
a State‐administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may include Medicare.
CONTRIBUTIONS
The HIS Plan is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by the Florida Legislature. Employer
contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS members. The FRS contribution rates include a 1.66%
HIS Plan subsidy for the periods October 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and from July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016,
pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statues. The County contributed 100 percent of its statutorily required contributions for
the current and preceding 3 years. HIS Plan contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund from which payments are
authorized. HIS Plan benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative appropriation. In the event the legislative
appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy benefits to all participants, benefits may be reduced or canceled.
The County’s contributions to the HIS Plan were $3,415,537 for the year ended September 30, 2016.
PENSION COSTS
At September 30, 2016, the County reported a liability of $75,244,385 for its proportionate share of the HIS Plan’s net pension
liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016. The County’s proportion of the net pension liability
was based on the County’s contributions received during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1,
2015, through June 30, 2016, relative to the total employer contributions received from all participating employers. At June 30,
2016, the County’s proportion was 0.645620%, which was an increase of 0.002637% from its proportion measured as of June
30, 2015.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, the County recognized pension expense of $6,610,544 for its proportionate share of
HIS’s pension expense. In addition, the County reported its proportionate share of HIS’s deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources from the following sources:

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability in the July 1, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions,
applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.60% per year
Salary Increases 3.25%, Average, Including Inflation
Municipal Bond Rate 2.85%
Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP‐2000 with Projection Scale BB. The actuarial assumptions used in the July
1, 2016, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2013.
DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 2.85% for the HIS Plan. In general, the discount rate for
calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single rate equivalent to discounting at the long‐term expected rate of
return for benefit payments prior to the projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay‐as‐
you‐go basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal
bond rate selected by the HIS Plan sponsor. The Bond Buyer General Obligation 20‐Bond Municipal Bond Index was adopted
as the applicable municipal bond index.

NOTE 9 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan officially titled the FRS Investment
Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in the SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to
participate in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. County employees participating in DROP are not
eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contributions, including amounts contributed to
individual member’s accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment
funds. Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amended by
the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and employee contribution rates that are based
on salary and membership class (Regular Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions
are directed to individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account balances among
various approved investment choices. Costs of administering the plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are
funded through an employer contribution of .04% of payroll from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 and .06% of payroll from July 1,
2016 to June 30, 2017 in addition to forfeited benefits of plan members. The County’s Investment Plan pension expense totaled
$3,589,697 for the year ended September 30, 2016.
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are vested after 1 year of service
for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned
under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS
Pension Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the
earnings on the funds. Non‐vested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to 5 years. If the employee
returns to FRS‐covered employment within the 5‐year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the
employee does not return within the 5‐year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated account balance. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2016, the information for the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management
believes that these amounts, if any, would be immaterial to the County.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another qualified plan, structure
a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump‐sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution,
or any combination of these options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to
the FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits under the FRS
Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for retirement income.

Spendable fund balance:
Restricted fund balance – Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes through restrictions placed upon
them by external resource providers such as creditors, grantors or contributors; or imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes determined by the County’s
highest decision making authority, the Board of County Commissioners, via ordinance. Commitments may be
modified or removed by the Board of County Commissioners only by amending the ordinance that created the
original commitment.
Assigned fund balance – Amounts that are intended to be spent for specific purposes as determined by the Board
of County Commissioners, but that are neither restricted nor committed to the specific purpose.
Unassigned fund balance – Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the County’s general fund.
Amounts in this classification are spendable but have not been deemed restricted, committed or assigned.
Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund whose expenditures have
exceeded the amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those specific purposes.
When both restricted and unrestricted amounts are available, the County spends the restricted amounts first, unless prohibited
by law, grant agreements or other contractual arrangement. Further, when committed fund balance is available the County
will use it first, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance for purposes in which any of the
unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

NOTE 12 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The County is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions;
injuries to employees and natural disasters. A self‐insurance internal service fund is maintained by the County to administer
insurance activities relating to workers' compensation, health and property and casualty, which covers general, property, auto,
public official and crime liabilities. The County self‐insurance program covers operations of the Board and the constitutional
officers, except for the Sheriff. Under these programs, the self‐insurance fund provides coverage up to a maximum amount for
each claim. The County purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the self‐insurance fund
and for all other covered risks of loss.
Claim Type County’s Coverage Excess Carrier’s Coverage
Property and casualty claims $50,000 ‐$500,000
(5% Named Storm)
$50,000 ‐$75,000,000
Auto liability claims $300,000 $300,000 ‐ $5,000,000
Employee health claims $400,000 $400,000 ‐ Unlimited
Workers' compensation claims $500,000 $500,000 ‐ Statutory
Settled claims have not exceeded the insurance provided by third party carriers in any of the past three years. All divisions of
the County, excluding the Sheriff, participate in this program. Charges to operating departments are based upon amounts
believed by management to meet the required annual payouts during the fiscal year and to pay for the estimated operating
costs of the programs. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 the operating departments were charged $39,516,689
for workers' compensation, health and property and casualty self‐insurance programs.
The claims loss reserve for workers' compensation, health and property and casualty of $5,523,170 reported at September 30,
2016 was calculated by third party actuaries based upon GASB Statement 30, Risk Financing Omnibus, which requires that a
liability for claims be reported when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably
estimated. The estimated liabilities for unpaid losses related to workers' compensation and property and casualty were
discounted at 3.5%. It should be noted that the discount rate is an estimate based on the expected rate of return over extended
periods. The estimated liabilities for unpaid losses related to health were not discounted as their turnover period is much
shorter. Claims loss reserves of $3,904,371 are recorded as current liabilities.
The Sheriff participates in the Statewide Florida Sheriff's Self‐Insurance Fund for its professional liability insurance. The fund is
managed by representatives of the participating Sheriff offices and provides professional liability insurance to participating
Sheriff agencies. The Florida Sheriff's Self‐Insurance Fund provides liability insurance coverage subject to the following
limitations: $5,000,000 for any one incident or occurrence and $10,000,000 for an annual aggregate per member.
The Sheriff also participates in the Statewide Florida Sheriff's Self‐Insurance Fund program for workers' compensation
coverage. The Florida Sheriff's Association Workers' Compensation Insurance Trust (FSAWIT) is a limited self‐insurance fund
providing coverage for the first $500,000 of every claim. Re‐insurance is provided through a third party insurer for all claims
exceeding $500,000 up to $10,000,000.
Settled claims have not exceeded the insurance provided by third party carriers in any of the past three years.
Premiums charged to participating Sheriffs are based upon amounts believed by Fund management to meet the estimated
annual payouts during the fiscal year and to pay for the estimated operating costs of the program. All liabilities associated with
these self‐insured risks are reported in the basic financial statements of the Statewide Florida Sheriff’s Self‐Insurance Fund.
The Sheriff cannot be additionally assessed for claims paid by the program.

NOTE 12 – RISK MANAGEMENT – CONTINUED
The Sheriff has also established a self‐funded employee health plan. An internal service fund is used to account for the activities
of the plan. Excess coverage has been purchased which provides specific claim excess coverage for any one incident exceeding
$200,000. Payments to the internal service fund are based on actuarial estimates of amounts needed to pay prior year and
current year claims including claims incurred but not yet reported.
The claims loss reserve for health of $2,379,000 reported at September 30, 2016 was calculated by third party actuaries based
upon GASB Statement 30, Risk Financing Omnibus, which requires that a liability for claims be reported when it is probable that
a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. The entire Sheriff’s health claim loss reserve
is recorded as a current liability.

NOTE 13 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description – The County provides post employment healthcare benefits for retirees through a single employer defined
benefit plan. The participants of this plan include retirees of the Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk of the Circuit Court
and Comptroller, the Property Appraiser, the Tax Collector and the Supervisor of Elections. In accordance with Florida Statute
112.0801, employees who retire and immediately begin receiving benefits from the FRS have the option of paying premiums
to continue in the County’s health insurance plan at the same group rate as for active employees. The plan does not issue a
separate financial report.
The Board of County Commissioners and the Tax Collector administer an additional single‐employer defined benefit plan (OPEB
Plan) and can amend the benefit provisions. The Board offers an OPEB Plan that subsidizes the cost of health care for its retirees
who have at least 60% of eligible accrued sick leave remaining at the time of retirement and have completed 15 years of
continuous service with the Board. In addition, the retiree must retire from the Board, be at least 55 years of age or have
completed 30 years of service under the Florida Retirement System (FRS) and be eligible to receive an FRS benefit with no break
in time. Such employees are eligible to receive a 50% to 100% subsidy toward the cost of coverage under the active plan. A
subsidy is currently provided to six retirees. The Tax Collector offers an OPEB plan that subsidizes 100% the cost of health care
for employees with 10 years of service, between the ages of 54 and 64 and who exchange 800 hours of sick leave at retirement.

OPEB plan participants 2,107
Retirees receiving benefits 70
Funding Policy ‐ The County has the authority to establish and amend funding policy. For the year ended September 30, 2016,
the County contributed $373,477 to the OPEB Plan. No trust or agency fund has been established for the plan.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation ‐ The annual cost of the County’s OPEB Plan is calculated based on the Annual
Required Contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45.
The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and
amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period not to exceed 30 years. The following table shows the components of
the County’s annual OPEB Plan cost for the year, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net OPEB Plan
obligation.

liability for benefits was $7,178,976, and the actuarial value of plan assets was $0, resulting in a UAAL of $7,178,976. As of
September 30, 2016, the OPEB Plan was 0.0% funded and the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $7,487,742, and the
actuarial value of plan assets was $0, resulting in a UAAL of $7,487,742. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees
covered by the OPEB Plan) was $125.7 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 6%.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions ‐ Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported
amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions
about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the
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.
Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of the plan as understood by the
employer and the plan members in effect at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the
employer and plan members to that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly
incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer
and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long‐term perspective. Consistent with that perspective,
actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short‐term volatility in
actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.

The Sheriff subsidizes approximately 20% for both single and family coverage for qualifying individuals. In 2010, the subsidy
was no longer made available to eligible retirees who chose to continue their health insurance coverage. Approximately 46%
of retirees receive the subsidy. Additionally, in accordance with Florida Statute 112.0801, Sheriff’s employees who retire and

NOTE 14 – LANDFILL LIABILITY
On May 1, 1995 the County entered into a landfill operating agreement with a third party for the privatization of the County's
landfill operations. Under the contract, the third party is responsible for the daily operations, capital improvements, closure,
postclosure and financial assurance requirements of the active cells within the Naples and Immokalee landfill sites. Collier
County is responsible for the postclosure costs relating to portions of the Naples and Immokalee landfill sites. None of the cells
that Collier County is responsible for has accepted waste since December 1989. The County is also responsible for staffing and
operating the scale house at each site.
In accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule Solid Waste Disposal and Facility Criteria and GASB Statement
18, Accounting for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs, a liability has been established
representing amounts estimated to be spent on postclosure relating to cells for which Collier County is responsible. The
County’s estimated liability in connection with the landfills is included in the proprietary funds statement of net position. The
landfill liability will be reassessed on an annual basis, and any increase due to inflation, changes in technology or additional
postclosure care requirements will be recorded as a current cost.

LITIGATION
The County is involved as defendant or plaintiff in certain litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of operations. In
the opinion of County legal counsel, the range of potential recoveries or liabilities, other than as disclosed here, will not
materially affect the financial position of the County.
The Board has been named as a defendant in three related lawsuits, styled Francis Hussey, et al v. Collier County, Case No. 08‐
6933‐CA; Board of County Commissioners v. Francis D. Hussey, et al., Case No. 08‐6988‐CA consolidated with 08‐6933‐CA; and
Sean Hussey, et al. v. Collier County, et al., Case No. 08‐7025‐CA. On September 11, 2008, the Plaintiffs, Francis D. Hussey, Jr.
and Mary P. Hussey, husband and wife, and Winchester Lakes Corporation, a Florida corporation, filed an inverse condemnation
suit seeking monetary damages from Collier County, Florida, the Honorable Charlie Crist, the Governor of the State of Florida
and the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The Husseys contend that the designation of certain real property owned
by them through a growth management plan amendment adopted in 2002 had the effect of precluding mining activities on
their property, thereby resulting in a substantial diminution in value of the real estate, which the Plaintiffs contend to be
compensable under Florida law. The complaint alleges current damage claims in the amount of $91,500,000. The Plaintiffs
have also presented a claim for "inverse condemnation based on a regulatory taking of plaintiffs' property," in an amount not
specified in the complaint. The Wildlife Federation and Collier County Audubon Society were granted leave to intervene in the
suit by the Court on April 29, 2009. On July 9, 2009, the Florida Wildlife Federation and Collier County Audubon Society served
upon defendants Francis and Mary Hussey a Notice of Intent to Sue over violations of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
On February 1, 2017, the Second District Court of Appeals affirmed an Order (without issuing a written opinion) of the Collier
County Circuit Court approving the County’s Settlement Agreement with the Husseys, et al. The Circuit Court’s order had been
appealed by the Florida Wildlife Federation, Inc. and the Collier County Audubon Society, Inc., who had intervened in the
lawsuit. The time for any party to file an appeal has passed and as such this case is closed.
Briefly stated, the Settlement Agreement provides as follows:
1)The County will re‐designate 578 acres of the Hussey parcel as Receiving Lands in exchange for the re‐
designation as Sending Lands of the 578 acres of Rural Fringe Receiving Lands owned by the S.R. 846
Land Trust (the “846 land”). This exchange is a net swap. It leaves the identical acreage within the
Rural Fringe with a Sending Designation and identical acreage with a Receiving Designation. Collier
County will amend the Future Land Use Map designation of these 578 acres accordingly.
2)Within 180 days, Husseys must deed to the County 180 feet of right‐of‐way for the future Wilson
Boulevard Extension (Blackburn Road) along the southern property line of the HHH Ranch. The Owner
will receive road impact fee credits for this dedication.
3)The HHH Ranch lands shall be subject to the Preservation and Native Vegetation Retention Standards
within CCMA Policies based upon the existing native vegetation as depicted by a FLUCCS Map, which
map shall be prepared by the Husseys, subject to County approval. The map shall be prepared and
presented for review within 180 days.
No development rights were conferred by this Agreement, and the County was not required to make any payment in the form
of damages or otherwise to the Plaintiffs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Collier County, Florida (County), as of and for
the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
March 22, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the County's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
171
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County's financial statements are free
from 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 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
County’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
FEDERAL PROGRAM AND STATE PROJECT AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE AND
CHAPTER 10.550, RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and State Project
We have audited Collier County, Florida’s (County) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the
State of Florida Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement that could
have a direct and material effect on each of the County’s major federal programs and state projects for
the year ended September 30, 2016. The County’s major federal programs and state projects are
identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grants applicable to its federal programs and state projects.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the County’s major federal
programs and state projects based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to
above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and
Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General Local Governmental Entity Audits. Those standards, the
Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state
project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County’s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major
federal program and state project. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the
County’s compliance.
173
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs and
state projects for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance, which are required to be
reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which are described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2016-001 and 2016-002. Our opinion on each
major federal program and state project is not modified with respect to these matters.
The County’s responses to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit are described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs and corrective action plan. The County’s
responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the County’s internal control over compliance with
the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program or
state project to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and major state
project and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform
Guidance and Chapter 10.550, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
County’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program or state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program of state project will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program and state project that is less severe than a material weakness in
internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.

Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance (Continued)
Our consideration of internal control over compliance 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
compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance, as described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2016-001 and 2016-002 that we consider to be
significant deficiencies.
The County’s responses to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our audit are
described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs and corrective action plan.
The County’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the result of that testing based on the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.

COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL
AWARDS AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Projects (the Schedule)
includes the Federal and State grant activity for Collier County, Florida (the County) and is presented on
the modified accrual basis of accounting for expenditures accounted for in the governmental funds and
the accrual basis of accounting for expenditures in proprietary funds. Under the modified accrual basis,
revenue is recognized if it is both measurable and available for use during the fiscal year and
expenditures are recognized in the period liabilities are incurred, if measurable. Under the accrual basis,
expenditures are recognized in the period liabilities are incurred.
The information in the schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), and Section 215.97, Florida Statutes. Therefore,
some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented, or used in the
preparation of, the basic financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
2. Contingency
The grant revenue amounts received are subject to audit and adjustment. If any expenditures or
expenses are disallowed by the grantor agencies as a result of such an audit, any claim for
reimbursement to the grantor agencies would become a liability of the County.
3. Negative Figures on the Schedule of Expenditures
Negative expenditures reported in the Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial
Assistance are a result of corrections which reduced expenditures in one grant and increased
expenditures in another grant or funding source. Although the current expenditures on a grant may be
negative, the total of all expenditures on the grant is expected to be positive over its total period of
performance.
4. Indirect Cost Rate
The County has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimus cost rate allowed under the Uniform
Guidance.

CFDA 14.239 Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters
Criteria
In accordance with 24 CFR 92.502 (a) the participating jurisdiction must report all program
income in HUD's computerized disbursement and information system.
Condition
Based on our testing of program income in fiscal year 2016, recapture payments from the State
of Florida SHIP program were incorrectly recorded and reported as HOME program income.
Although eligible for HOME match, these SHIP recapture payments had not been designated as
HOME match in the HOME match log that was reported in the annual report and in IDIS.
Context
Auditors randomly selected two of the four HOME program receipts for testing. Sample was a
statistically valid sample. In fiscal year 2016, the only program income received by the HOME
program was SHIP recaptured payments designated as HOME match in the year of
disbursement. Auditor requested HOME match log to ensure proper recording of recaptured
funds. The receipts selected for testing were not previously designated as HOME match.
Additionally, per management's review of the remaining two receipts there was one additional
error identified.

Part III – Findings and Questioned Costs – Major Federal Programs (Continued)
Cause
During the receipting process, the incorrect file was accessed when determining the proper
program for coding. The County did not have the proper review procedure in place to detect
improper codings.
Effect
The fiscal year 2016 HOME program income was incorrectly reported in IDIS, the annual report
and reimbursement requests were understated by the amount of improperly coded program
income.
Repeat Finding
No
Recommendation
We recommend that the County enhance its review procedures to ensure that program income
is recorded to the appropriate program. Additionally, the County should ensure that program
income is properly reported in the annual report.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
We have examined Collier County, Florida’s (County) compliance with Section 218.415, Florida
Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds; Section 365.172(10) and 365.172(2)(d), Florida
Statutes, regarding emergency communications number E911 system fund; and Section 288.8018(1),
Florida Statutes, regarding funds related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill during the year ended
September 30, 2016. Management is responsible for the County's compliance with those requirements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the County's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence
about the County’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the County’s
compliance with specified requirements.
Our examination disclosed material noncompliance with Section 365.172(10) and 365.172(2)(d),
Florida Statutes, regarding emergency communications number E911 system fund. The County
charged this program $14,027 in nonallowable costs.
In our opinion, except for the noncompliance reported in the previous paragraph, the County complied,
in all material respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the year ended September 30, 2016.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the County and the Auditor General, State
of Florida, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified

Summary Debt Statement for Fiscal Year 2016
General Governmental Debt:
Collier County’s Debt Policy sets the maximum allowable governmental debt ratio at 13.0%, and the
County continues to operate below this self-imposed maximum. The Constitution of the State of
Florida and the Florida Statutes set no legal debt limit at the local level. The governmental debt ratio
is the ratio of debt service requirements to total bondable revenues, as defined by Collier County’s
Debt Policy. It should be noted that while ad valorem taxes are bondable for purposes of the
governmental debt ratio calculation, they may only be pledged pursuant to voter referendum.
The governmental debt ratio decreased from 7.6%, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, to
7.0% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the debt ratio for FY-2016 is
primarily the result of an 8.8% increase in overall bondable revenues. Ad valorem tax collection
increased by 8.5% over FY-2015 due to a corresponding increase in taxable property values. In
addition, impact fee collections related to governmental activities (non-enterprise activity) increased
by 40.0% and Half-Cent Sales Tax collections were 5.4% greater than FY-2015.
Recent debt restructurings coupled with the growth of general governmental revenues has produced
several consecutive years of decreases in the general governmental debt ratio, as shown in the chart
below:
0.00%

Governmental Debt Ratings Table:
Current Ratings (as of 1/11/2017) Fitch Moody’s Standard & Poor’s
Gas Tax Revenue Bonds AA- A2 A
Special Obligation Bonds AA Aa2 AA+
A rating of AA is an indication by Fitch Ratings of an investment grade instrument, but one which
carries a slightly higher risk than a AAA rated bond. Fitch also uses intermediate +/- modifiers for
each AA category.
A rating of Aa is an indication by Moody’s Investors Service of a high quality investment grade
instrument with very low credit risk, but “their susceptibility to long-term risks appears somewhat
greater” than a Aaa rated bond. A rating of A is an indication by Moody’s of an investment grade
instrument with low credit risk but the bond has elements present that suggest a higher susceptibility
to impairment over the long term than a Aa investment. Moody’s uses intermediate modifiers of 1
(higher) to 3 (lower) within the Aa and A ranges.
A rating of AA is an indication by Standard and Poor’s of an investment grade instrument issued by
a “quality borrower” but with slightly more risk than a AAA grade investment. A rating of A is an
indication by Standard and Poor’s of an investment grade instrument but one more susceptible to
adverse changes in circumstances and economic conditions than AAA or AA instruments. Standard
and Poor’s also uses intermediate +/- modifiers for each category.
The County’s Special Obligation Revenue Bonds are secured by a covenant to appropriate in the
annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient pay
debt service on the combined Special Obligation Bonds. The combined gas tax revenues are pledged
for the payment of all the Gas Tax Revenue Bonds. Fiscal year 2016 gas tax revenues covered the
current year debt service payments on all outstanding Gas Tax Revenue Bonds at 151%.
Collier County Enterprise Debt:
Currently, the Collier County Water and Sewer District (District) is the only County enterprise
activity with bonded debt outstanding. The Collier County Debt Policy does not set a maximum
allowable enterprise debt ratio, but coverage requirements related to the District’s debt are set by
bond covenants. Net revenues, defined as operating revenues plus non-operating revenues less
operating expenses, excluding depreciation, must cover bonded debt service at 100%. Total pledged
funds, defined as net revenues plus impact fees and special assessments, if applicable, must cover
bonded debt at 125%. Net revenue coverage on bonded debt was 600% and total pledged funds
coverage on bonded debt was 800% for FY-2016, up from 450% and 580%, respectively, for FY-
2015. Bonded debt coverages increased primarily due to a 6.6% increase in water and sewer sales
revenues and a 27.9% decrease in annual bonded debt service. The District’s calculated coverage on
subordinated debt, all in the form of State Revolving Fund Loans, increased from 405% to 415%,
4
also as a result of the factors mentioned above. The total pledged funds coverage required by the
subordinated loan agreements varies between 115% and 125%, depending upon the individual loan
agreement.
In May of 2016, the Collier County Water and Sewer District issued the Series 2016A Water and
Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds in the amount of $48,105,000 for the purpose of refunding the
District’s remaining Series 2006 Revenue Bonds. The Series 2016 bond proceeds, together with
other available monies, were placed in escrow. The Series 2016 Water and Sewer Refunding
Revenue Bonds have a fixed interest rate of 5.0%. The current refunding achieved a net present value
savings of 18.0% on the refunded bonds.
Enterprise Debt Ratings Table:
Current Ratings (as of 1/11/2017) Fitch Moody’s Standard & Poor’s*
Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds AAA Aa1 -
*- Standard & Poor’s does not currently rate County Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds.
In December of 2015, Fitch Ratings affirmed the District’s Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds at
AAA. A rating of AAA is an indication by Fitch Ratings of an investment grade instrument with
very little credit risk.
In April of 2016, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the District’s Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds
to Aa1 from Aa2. A rating of Aa is an indication by Moody’s Investors Service of a high quality
investment grade instrument, but “their susceptibility to long-term risks appears somewhat greater”
than a Aaa rated bond. Moody’s uses intermediate modifiers of 1 (higher) to 3 (lower) within the Aa
and A ranges. A rating of Aa1 is the highest rating within the Aa range.
Water, wastewater and irrigation quality water user rates and miscellaneous revenues are used to
recover system operating, maintenance and capital costs as well as pay debt service. In September
of 2014 the District’s governing board approved phased rate increases. The District’s water and
sewer user rates increased by 9.0%, effective 10/01/2014 with subsequent increases of 5.0% effective
10/01/2015 and 10/01/2016. Over recent years the District has operated on a pay as you go basis,
avoided borrowing and maintained financial stability. The District’s continuing focus is the
optimization of resources and a risk based prioritization of capital projects.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Dwight E. Brock
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Collier County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court (Clerk), as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Clerk’s financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.
Honorable Dwight E. Brock
Clerk of the Circuit Court
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information for the
Clerk as of September 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where
applicable, budgetary comparisons thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements referred to above were
prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of
Florida. In conformity with the Rules, the accompanying financial statements are intended to present
the financial position and changes in financial position of each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information, only for that portion of the major funds, and the aggregate remaining
fund information, of Collier County, Florida that is attributable to the Clerk. They do not purport to,
and do not, present fairly the financial position of Collier County as of September 30, 2016, and the
changes in its financial position for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part
of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this
missing information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Clerk’s financial statements. The combining statement, as listed in the table
of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements. The combining statement is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
combining statement is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a
whole.

matters included under the heading Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements
Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the Clerk’s internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
The Collier County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court (Clerk) is an elected constitutional officer as
provided for by the Constitution of the State of Florida. The Clerk’s Budget is presented pursuant to
Chapter 218, Florida Statutes. Additionally, a budget is submitted to the Florida Clerks of Court
Operations Corporation for the Court Services Fund.
The financial statements presented include the general fund, special revenue funds, and agency funds
of the Clerk’s office. The accompanying financial statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General - Local Governmental Entity Audits, which allows the Clerk to only present fund financial
statements. These financial statements present only the portion of the funds of Collier County,
Florida that are attributable to the Clerk. They are not intended to present fairly the financial position
and results of operations of Collier County, Florida in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial activities of the Clerk, as a constitutional officer, are included in the Collier County,
Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. There are no separate legal entities (component
units) for which the Clerk is considered to be financially accountable.
The general operations of the Clerk are funded by: fees from third parties, transfer in lieu of fees
from the Collier County, Florida Board of County Commissioners (Board), appropriations from the
State of Florida, and interest income. Pursuant to Chapter 218 Florida Statutes, funds remaining in
the general fund at fiscal year-end, in excess of amounts expended, are returned to the Board. Excess
revenues returned to the Board are reflected as transfers out in the Clerk’s general fund. Court-related
operations are funded by the collection of fines, fees costs and service charges, and a child support
grant. Any surplus of revenues after expenditures in this fund is remitted to the State in January of
the next year. Special revenue funds are retained by the Clerk and budgeted according to
requirements of each source.
The State transitioned the Clerk in July, 2013 to be self-funded from fees and fines. Pursuant to
Section 28.37, Florida Statute, any surplus revenues over expenditures will be returned to the State.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Basis of Presentation
These fund financial statements report detailed information about the Clerk. The focus of
governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each
major fund is reported in a separate column.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. Only current assets and current liabilities, generally, are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements for these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
The Clerk reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The general fund is used to account for all revenue and expenditures applicable to
the general operations of the Clerk, which are not accounted for in another fund. All operating
revenue not specifically restricted or designated as to use, is recorded in the general fund.
Court Services Fund – The court services fund is a special revenue fund established to account for
court-related filing fees, service charges, fines, court costs, appropriations and expenses of the Clerk
as mandated by Section 28.35, Florida Statutes.
Other Special Revenue Fund – The other special revenue fund is a special revenue fund used to
account for revenues mandated by Section 28.24(12)(d), Florida Statutes, to be held in trust by the
Clerk and used exclusively for equipment and maintenance of equipment, personnel training, and
technical assistance in modernizing the public records system of the office, and revenues mandated
by Section 28.24(12)(e), Florida Statutes, to be used exclusively for funding court-related technology
needs. This fund also accounts for revenues and expenditures pursuant to Section 28.37(5),
Florida Statutes.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental funds. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become measurable and available to finance liabilities of the current fiscal year). For this purpose,
the Clerk considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for certain
compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
Charges for services, interest income, and other revenues are recognized as they are earned and
become measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
With the implementation of Revision 7 to Article V on July 1, 2004, the Clerk’s activities are
classified as court-related and non-court-related. The Clerk’s general fund activity, which is
classified as non-court-related, is funded through service charges for recording instruments and
documents into the official records, interest income and through transfers in from the Board of
County Commissioners.
Court-related operations are funded by the collection of fines, fees costs and service charges, and a
child support grant. Any surplus of revenues after expenditures in this fund is remitted to the State
in January of the next year.
Florida Statutes provide that the amount by which revenues and transfers exceed annual
expenditures for the general fund be remitted to the Board immediately following the fiscal year for
which the funding was provided or following the fiscal year during which other revenues were
recognized. The amount of this distribution is recorded as a liability and as other financing use in
the accompanying purpose financial statements.
Capital outlays expended in governmental funds are capitalized in the basic financial statements of
Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Clerk.
Additionally, the Clerk reports the following fund type:
Fiduciary Funds – Agency Funds – Agency funds are used to account for assets held by the Clerk in
a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments, and other
funds. The agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities), and do not involve
measurement of results of operations or have a measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for
using the full accrual basis of accounting.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less. The Clerk does not currently hold investments.

Compensated Absences
All full-time employees of the Clerk are allowed to accumulate an unlimited number of hours of
unused sick leave and up to 240 hours of unused vacation leave (with limited exceptions per the
employee manual). Upon termination, employees receive 100% of allowable accumulated vacation
hours and a percentage of unused sick leave, depending on years of service. Vacation leave and sick
leave are included in governmental funds when the payments are made to employees. The Clerk is
not legally required to accumulate financial resources for these un-matured obligations. Accordingly,
the liability for compensated absences is not reported in the Clerk’s funds, but rather is reported in
the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
Prepaid Expenses
The Clerk has elected to follow GASB Codification 1600.127 Other Expenditure Recognition
Alternatives and expends maintenance costs as they are incurred and does not allocate the cost
between periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management of the Clerk to make a number of
estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenditures during the period. Actual results could differ slightly from those
estimates.
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-Type Definitions
Fund balances are classified either as non-spendable or as spendable. Spendable fund balances are
further classified in a hierarchy based on the extent to which there are external and/or internal
constraints in how fund balance amounts may be spent.
Non-spendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable
form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. There were no non-spendable
fund balances at the Clerk as of September 30, 2016.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-Type Definitions (continued)
Spendable fund balances are classified based on a hierarchy of the Clerk’s ability to control the
spending of these fund balances and are reported in the following categories: restricted, committed,
assigned and unassigned. The Clerk’s fund balances for the special revenue funds fall into the
spendable restricted category. Fund balances maintained in the special revenue funds are restricted
pursuant to certain Florida Statutes and have been presented as restricted fund balances in the fund
financial statements in accordance with GASB Statement No. 54.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance
is available, the Clerk considers restricted funds to have been spent first.
When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are
available, the Clerk considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned
funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the Clerk has provided otherwise in its
commitment or assignment actions.
2. Budgetary Process
Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption, and administration of the Clerk’s annual budget.
The Clerk prepares and approves the budget for the Clerk s non-court functions, including special
revenue fund and the budget related to the recording function based on anticipated fees. The budget
of the Clerk for services to the Board is submitted to the Board.
Pursuant to Section 28.36, Florida Statutes, a balanced court-related budget must be prepared on or
before June 1 (for the period starting the next October 1 through September 30) and submitted to the
Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (Corporation).
If the Clerk estimates that projected revenues are insufficient to meet anticipated expenditures, the
Clerk must report the revenue deficit to the Corporation. Once the Corporation verifies the revenue
deficit, the Clerk can increase fees up to the maximum amounts specified by law to resolve the
deficit. If a revenue deficit is still projected, a request can be submitted to release funds from the
Department of Revenue Clerks of the Court Trust Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the
Clerk had sufficient revenues to meet expenditures.
Collier County, Florida
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2016

2. Budgetary Process (continued)
The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, except for the classification and presentation of the distribution of excess
court revenue to the State for the court services fund, which is treated as other financing use (transfer
out) for budgetary purposes and as an expenditure in the statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balance in the court services fund. The annual budget serves as the legal
authorization for expenditures. Any subsequent amendments to the Board approved transfer must be
approved by the Board; amendments to the Clerk’s fee budget are at the discretion of the Clerk, and
any amendments that increase or decrease the court budget must be approved by the Corporation for
the court services fund. Budgetary changes within the court services fund not affecting the overall
budget are made at the discretion of the Clerk.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations lapse at year-
end. Budgetary control is maintained at the departmental major object expenditure level. Budgetary
changes within major object expenditure categories are made at the discretion of the Clerk.
The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original budget
adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other legally
authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Clerk’s cash and cash equivalents was as follows:
Carrying
Type Maturity Value Credit Rating
Cash on hand N/A 7,600$ N/A
Demand deposits N/A 33,322,160 N/A
Total cash and cash equivalents 33,329,760$
The Clerk maintains a cash pool for the deposits of all governmental and agency funds. Each fund
type’s portion of these balances is presented as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying
financial statements. Interest income is allocated to each fund based on its proportionate balance in
the pool.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 are reported as $8,126,709 and $25,203,051 in
the governmental funds and fiduciary funds, respectively.
Custodial Credit Risk
At September 30, 2016, the Clerk’s deposits were entirely covered by Federal Depository Insurance
or by collateral pledged with the State Treasurer pursuant to Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. Under
this Chapter, in the event of default by a participating financial institution (a qualified public
depository), all participating institutions are obligated to reimburse the governmental entity for
the loss.
Credit Risk
The Clerk’s policy is to follow the guidance in Section 219.075, Florida Statutes, regarding the
deposit of funds received and the investment of surplus funds. Sections 219.075 and 218.415,
Florida Statutes, authorize the Clerk to invest in Florida PRIME or any intergovernmental
investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Inter-local Cooperation Act; Securities and
Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a
nationally recognized rating agency; direct obligations of the United States Treasury, federal
agencies and instrumentalities, or interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in banks
organized under the laws of the United States and doing business and situated in the State of Florida,
savings and loan associations which are under state supervision, or in federal savings and loan
associations located in the State of Florida and organized under federal law and federal supervision,
provided that any such deposits are secured by collateral as may be prescribed by law. Additionally,
Florida Statutes allow local governments to place public funds with institutions that participate in a
collateral pool under the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. The pool is administered by the
State Treasurer, who may make additional assessments to ensure that no public funds will be lost.
Interest Rate Risk
Investment of Clerk’s funds is based on maintaining 24 hour liquidity. All Clerks funds are held in
local banks or short term investment instruments.

4. Interest Income and Investment of County Funds
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 28.33, the Clerk invests all County funds in excess of those
required to meet expenses. Interest income is allocated to each fund based on its proportionate
balance in the pool. Interest income of $15,209 is reported in the general fund for the year ended
September 30, 2016, as the portion of interest earned on Clerk funds.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets used by the governmental fund type operations are capitalized in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Clerk. Upon
acquisition, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds of the Clerk and are
capitalized at cost in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida. 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 value on the date received.
The Clerk maintains custodial responsibility for capital assets used by the office. No depreciation
expense has been provided on capital assets in these financial statements. However, depreciation
expense on these assets is recorded in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
The following is a summary of changes in capital assets, which are reported in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida:
October 1, Transfer- September 30,

The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a
defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to
add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the defined benefit plan and amended in 2000 to
provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS members effective
July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment Plan.
Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Program, a
cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired members of any State-
administered retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the Clerk are eligible to enroll as members of the State-
administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122, Florida
Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS Rules,
Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits are
defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further action from
the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two cost-sharing,
multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A comprehensive annual
financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements, required supplementary
information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available from the Florida
Department of Management Services’ Web site (www.dms.myflorida.com).

Florida Retirement System Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible employees.
The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local
government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement
officers, meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service and
employees enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable service. All
vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 62
or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special risk who are eligible
for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service. All members enrolled
in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at
age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service, except for members classified as special risk
who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or at any age after 30 years of service.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4 years of credit for military service toward
creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early retirement provision; however, there is a
benefit reduction for each year a member retires before his or her normal retirement date. The FRS
Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual cost-of-living adjustments to eligible
participants.
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for
normal retirement under the FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing
employment with an FRS participating employer. An employee may participate in DROP for a
period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain instructional
personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP participation, deferred
monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The net pension liability does
not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are considered retired and are not
accruing additional pension benefits.

7. Pension Plans (continued)
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final
compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the
average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final
compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled on
or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 8 highest fiscal years’
earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total
value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the
service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and
survivors’ benefits.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-living
adjustment is 3% per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service
credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The
annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3% determined by dividing the sum of the pre-
July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3%. FRS Plan members
initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of FRS’s net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide statements
of the County.
Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program
Plan Description
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be
amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of
State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by
the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.

7. Pension Plans (continued)
Benefits Provided
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS
payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a
minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to
Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a State-
administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may include
Medicare.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of HIS’s net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide statements
of the County.
FRS Investment Plan
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan officially
titled the FRS Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in the SBA’s
annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate in
the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Clerk employees participating in DROP
are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contributions,
including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate
benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds. Benefit terms, including contribution
requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amended by the Florida
Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and employee contribution rates
that are based on salary and membership class (Regular Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the
FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions are directed to individual member accounts, and the
individual members allocate contributions and account balances among various approved investment
choices. Costs of administering plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded
through an employer contribution of 0.06% of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members.

7. Pension Plans (continued)
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are
vested after 1 year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated
benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the
Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS Pension Plan vesting
(including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the
earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to
5 years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered employment within the 5-year period, the employee
will regain control over their account. If the employee does not return within the 5-year period, the
employee will forfeit the accumulated account balance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the
information for the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management
believes that these amounts, if any, would be immaterial to the Clerk.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another
qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump-sum
distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these options.
Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the FRS
Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits
under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for
retirement income.
Contributions
Participating employer contributions are based upon statewide rates established by the State of
Florida. The Clerk’s contributions made to the plans during the years ended September 30, 2016,
2015, and 2014 were $750,024, $754,154, and $738,661, respectively, equal to the actuarially
determined contribution requirements for each year.
Additional information about pension plans can be found in the Collier County comprehensive
annual financial report or County-wide financial statements.

8. Related Party Transactions
The Board provided funding for the Clerk in the amount of $6,014,400. The Supervisor of Elections
provided funding in the amount of a $46,400 fee for financial services performed by the Clerk. At
September 30, 2016, the Clerk had a payable due to the Board of $528,505, comprised as follows:
Distribution of excess fees 196,634$
Amounts due for various services 3,587
Agency funds due 328,284
Total due to Board of County Commissioners 528,505$
9. Risk Management
Collier County, Florida (County) is exposed to various risks of loss, including, but not limited to,
general liability, health and life, property and casualty, auto and physical damage, and workers’
compensation. The County is substantially self-insured and accounts for and finances its risk of
uninsured losses through an internal service fund. All liabilities associated with these self-insured
risks are reported in the basic financial statements of the County. During the year ended
September 30, 2016, the Clerk was charged $2,424,957 by the County for participation in the risk
management program.
The County retains the first $500,000 per claim for workers’ compensation, and has purchased
outside excess coverage for up to the statutory limits for each injury and illness. The County also
provides coverage for up to $500,000 per occurrence for general liability and $300,000 per
occurrence for auto liability coverage and has purchased outside excess coverage for up to $5 million
per claim. Negligence claims in excess of the statutory limits set in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes,
which provide for limited sovereign immunity of $200,000/$300,000 per occurrence can only be
recovered through an act of the State Legislature. Property claims are subject to a 5% wind
deductible and a $50,000 deductible for all other perils. The County retains the first $100,000 per
claim/$200,000 per occurrence for public official errors and omissions and crime coverage and has
purchased outside excess coverage for up to $5 million per claim. There have been no significant
reductions in insurance coverage in the last year. Settled claims have not exceeded the insurance
provided by third party carriers in any of the last three years.
The County is self-insured for health claims covering all of its employees and their eligible
dependents. The County retains the first $400,000 per covered member and has purchased outside
excess coverage for all claims exceeding this amount. An actuarial valuation is performed each year
to estimate the amounts needed to pay prior and future claims and to establish reserves.

10. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan
The Clerk follows GASB Statement 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for
Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions in accounting for its post-employment benefits.
Plan Description
The Clerk participates in a group health care plan that covers eligible retirees, and their dependents,
of the Board and all Constitutional Officers with the exception of the Sheriff. The Board administers
the plan and establishes the benefits. The healthcare plan does not issue a stand-alone financial
report; however, additional actuarial information regarding the plan as a whole is disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
Under Florida statutes, retirees originally hired prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible to participate in the
active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 62 and have 6 years of service
or have at least 30 years of service. Employees hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible to
participate in the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 65 and have 8
years of service or have at least 33 years of service. Employees eligible for a reduced benefit under
the Florida Retirement System prior to age 62 (65 if hired on or after July 1, 2011) are also eligible to
participate in the medical plan. The Clerk provides no subsidy to the retiree, or their dependents, for
group health care.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the plan members and the employers are established and may be
amended by the County. The plans are financed by the participating agencies on a pay as you go
basis through the County’s self-insurance internal service fund. Participating agencies contribute an
additional amount per each active employee to fund retiree health care. The Clerk had a net OPEB
obligation of $56,221 as of September 30, 2016.
The annual other postemployment benefit cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution
of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement 45.
The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid by on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover
normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed
thirty years. An actuarial valuation on the plan as a whole was performed on October 1, 2015. The
notes to the financial statements of the County disclose additional information regarding the other
post-employment benefit plan as a whole.

11. Claims and Contingencies
Litigation
The Clerk is routinely involved as defendant, plaintiff and as a “party in interest” in carrying out its
statutorily and constitutionally assigned tasks. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Clerk
was involved in approximately 104,800 collection cases. These are court actions designed to collect
fees and costs imposed by the courts in criminal cases. The Clerk was involved in approximately 250
bond forfeiture actions. Those cases involve collecting forfeitures of criminal appearance bonds.
There are approximately 11 actions for foreclosure of property in which the Clerk has been a named
defendant.
The Clerk was involved in litigation of a Florida Statute related to ownership of interest earned on
monies paid into the registry of the court and an inverse condemnation allegation asserting that the
Clerk has improperly retained interest accruing on funds in the court’s registry. Two other cases with
similar claims were filed in Florida. Both cases found against the respective plaintiffs. The plaintiffs
filed a motion for the Florida Supreme Court to rule on the cases. The court denied the motion. The
plaintiffs filed to have the U.S. Supreme Court hear the case. The Supreme Court chose not to hear
the case and our case settled just after the close of the fiscal year.
The Clerk was involved in a litigation regarding fees for public records requests. There is currently a
motion for recovery of attorney’s fees in this case. The Clerk is contesting this claim.
The Clerk was involved in litigation against the County Manager and Purchasing Director joined by
the Board of County Commissioners. This case has settled. There is currently a motion for recovery
of costs in this case. These costs are being contested by the Clerk.
The Clerk submitted a demand notice for return of payment from a vendor. This matter is continuing
and in negotiations for settlement.
The Clerk made payments pursuant to a garnishment order to a vendor. The BOCC has an
intervention case against the Clerk, stating the Clerk had no authority to make these payments. The
BOCC agreed to drop its intervention and authorized the Clerk to settle the claims.
In the opinion of the Clerk of the Circuit Court and legal counsel, the range of potential recoveries or
liabilities from matters involving litigation will not materially affect the financial position of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Dwight E. Brock
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Collier County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit
Court (Clerk), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Clerk’s basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated January 18, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Clerk’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Clerk’s
internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify
any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Honorable Dwight E. Brock
Clerk of the Circuit Court
28
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Clerk’s financial statements are free
from 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 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Honorable Dwight E. Brock
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Collier County, Florida
We have examined the Collier County, Florida Clerk of the Circuit Court’s (Clerk) compliance with
Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds; Section 61.181, Florida
Statutes, regarding alimony and child support payments; and Sections 28.35 and 28.36, Florida

procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination

the year ended September 30, 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the general fund of the Collier County, Florida
Property Appraiser (Property Appraiser), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Property Appraiser’s financial statements as
listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
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 and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the general fund of the Property Appraiser as of September 30, 2016, and the changes in financial
position and budgetary comparison of its general fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements referred to above were prepared
solely for the purpose of complying with the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. In conformity
with the Rules, the accompanying financial statements are intended to present the financial position and
changes in financial position of each major fund, only for that portion of the major funds of Collier County,
Florida that is attributable to the Property Appraiser. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the
financial position of Collier County, Florida as of September 30, 2016, and the changes in its financial position
for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic
financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report on our consideration of the
Property Appraiser’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters included under the heading
Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other
Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing
Standards. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Property Appraiser’s internal control over financial

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting principles and policies used in the
preparation of the financial statements of the Collier County, Florida Property Appraiser (Property
Appraiser).
Reporting Entity
The Property Appraiser is an elected official of the County, pursuant to the Constitution of the
State of Florida, Article VIII, Section 1(d). The Property Appraiser is part of the primary
government of the County. Although the Board and the Florida Department of Revenue approve
the Property Appraiser’s total operating budget, the Property Appraiser is responsible for the
administration and the operation of the Property Appraiser’s office. The Property Appraiser’s
financial statements include only the funds of the Property Appraiser’s office. There are no
separate legal entities (component units) for which the Property Appraiser is considered to be
financially accountable.
The financial activities of the Property Appraiser, as a constitutional officer, are included in the
Collier County, Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Section
218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General – Local
Governmental Entity Audits, which allows the Property Appraiser to only present fund financial
statements. These financial statements present only the portion of the funds of Collier County,
Florida that are attributable to the Property Appraiser. They are not intended to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of Collier County, Florida in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial activities
of the Property Appraiser, as a constitutional officer, are included in the Collier County, Florida
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
These fund financial statements report detailed information about the Property Appraiser. The
focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by
type. Each major fund is reported in a separate column.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. Only current assets and current liabilities, generally, are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements for these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The Property
Appraiser’s only governmental fund is the general fund. The general fund is used to account for the
general operations of the Property Appraiser and includes all transactions not accounted for in
another fund.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental funds. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become measurable and available to finance liabilities of the current fiscal year). For this purpose,
the Property Appraiser considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days after
year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for certain
compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
Interest revenue and miscellaneous revenue are recognized as they are earned and become
measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period.
Substantially all of the Property Appraiser’s revenue is received from taxing authorities. These
monies are virtually unrestricted and are revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed
compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenue at the time of receipt; earlier if
the “susceptible to accrual” criteria are met.
Florida Statutes provide that the amount by which revenues exceed annual expenditures be
remitted to each governmental agency or the Board immediately following the fiscal year for
which the funding was provided or following the fiscal year during which other revenue was
recognized.
Capital outlays expended in the general fund operations are capitalized in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Property
Appraiser.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Refund of “Excess Fees”
Florida Statutes further provide that the excess of revenues over expenditures held by the Property
Appraiser be distributed to each governmental agency or the Board in the same proportion as the
fees paid by each governmental agency bear to total fee revenues. The amount of this distribution
is recorded as a liability and as an other financing use-transfer out in the accompanying financial
statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less.
Compensated Absences
All full-time employees of the Property Appraiser are allowed to accumulate an unlimited number
of hours of unused sick leave and up to 200 hours of unused vacation leave. Upon termination,
employees receive 100% of allowable accumulated vacation hours and a percentage of unused sick
leave, depending on years of service, not to exceed 1,040 hours. Vacation and sick leave payments
are included in operating costs of the general fund when the payments are made to the employees.
The Property Appraiser does not, nor is legally required to, accumulate financial resources for
these unmatured obligations. Accordingly, the liability for compensated absences is not reported
in the general fund of the Property Appraiser, but rather is reported in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida.
Prepaid Expenses
The Property Appraiser has elected to follow GASB Codification 1600.127 Other Expenditure
Recognition Alternatives and expends maintenance costs as they are incurred and does not allocate
the cost between periods.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Property Appraiser to
make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
2. Budgetary Process
Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption, and administration of the Property Appraiser’s
annual budget. The Property Appraiser prepares a budget for the general fund and submits it to the
Florida Department of Revenue for approval. A copy of the approved budget is provided to the
Board. Any subsequent amendments to the Property Appraiser’s total budget must be approved by
the Florida Department of Revenue. The annual budget serves as the legal authorization for
expenditures. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level.
Appropriations lapse at year-end. Budget control is maintained at the departmental major object
expenditure level. Budgetary changes within major object expenditure categories are made at the
discretion of the Property Appraiser.
The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original
budget adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year, whenever legally authorized.

2. Budgetary Process (continued)
During the year, the Property Appraiser exceeded the budgeted amount for operating expenditures
mainly as a result of other contractual services which were not expected at the time of the budget
preparation. These budget overages were partially offset by budget savings in the personnel
services category.
3. Cash
At September 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Property Appraiser’s cash was as follows:
Carrying
Value
Cash on hand 125$
Demand deposits 839,830
Total cash 839,955$
Type
Custodial Credit Risk
At September 30, 2016, the Property Appraiser’s deposits were entirely covered by Federal
Depository Insurance or by collateral pledged with the State Treasurer pursuant to Chapter 280,
Florida Statutes. Under this Chapter, in the event of default by a participating financial institution
(a qualified public depository), all participating institutions are obligated to reimburse the
governmental entity for the loss.

3. Cash (continued)
Credit Risk
The Property Appraiser’s policy is to follow the guidance in Section 219.075, Florida Statutes,
regarding the deposit of funds received and the investment of surplus funds. Sections 219.075 and
218.415, Florida Statutes, authorize the Property Appraiser to invest in Florida PRIME (formerly
the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund) or any intergovernmental investment pool
authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act; Securities and Exchange
Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally
recognized rating agency; direct obligations of the United States Treasury; federal agencies and
instrumentalities or interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in banks organized under
the laws of the United States and doing business and situated in the State of Florida, savings and
loan associations which are under state supervision; or in federal savings and loan associations
located in the State of Florida and organized under federal law and federal supervision, provided
that any such deposits are secured by collateral as may be prescribed by law.
Interest Rate Risk
The Property Appraiser has no specific investment policy regarding interest rate risk.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets used by the Property Appraiser are capitalized in the basic financial statements of
Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Property Appraiser. Upon
acquisition, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the general fund of the Property Appraiser,
and are capitalized at cost in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida. 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 value on the date received. The
Property Appraiser maintains custodial responsibility for the capital assets used by the office. No
depreciation expense has been provided on capital assets in these financial statements. However,
depreciation expense on these assets is recorded in the basic financial statements of Collier
County, Florida.

Of these liabilities, approximately $150,000 is expected to be paid during the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2017, which will be included in the operating costs of the general fund when
expended. These long-term liabilities are not reported in the financial statements of the Property
Appraiser since they have not matured.
6. Pension Plans
Background
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a
defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to
add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the defined benefit plan and amended in 2000
to provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS members
effective July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment
Plan. Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS)
Program, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired members
of any State-administered retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the Property Appraiser are eligible to enroll as members of the
State-administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122,
Florida Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS
Rules, Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits
are defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further action
from the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two
cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A
comprehensive annual financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements,
required supplementary information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available
from the Florida Department of Management Services’ Web site (www.dms.myflorida.com).

6. Pension Plans (continued)
Florida Retirement System Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible
employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other
classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local
government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level
positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement
officers, meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service and
employees enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable service.
All vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at
age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special risk who are
eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service. All
members enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal
retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service, except for members
classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or at any age
after 30 years of service. Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4 years of credit
for military service toward creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early retirement
provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for each year a member retires before his or her
normal retirement date. The FRS Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual
cost-of-living adjustments to eligible participants.

6. Pension Plans (continued)
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for
normal retirement under the FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while
continuing employment with an FRS participating employer. An employee may participate in
DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain
instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP
participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The
net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are
considered retired and are not accruing additional pension benefits.
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final
compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the
average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final
compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled
on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 8 highest fiscal years’
earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total
value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the
service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and
survivors’ benefits.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual
cost-of-living adjustment is 3 percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1,
2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated
cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3 percent
determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at
retirement multiplied by 3 percent. FRS Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011,
will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of FRS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide
statements of the County.

Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program
Plan Description
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be
amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees
of State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered
by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.
Benefits Provided
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS
payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a
minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to
Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a
State-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may
include Medicare.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of HIS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide
statements of the County.
FRS Investment Plan
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan
officially titled the FRS Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in the
SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate
in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Property Appraiser employees
participating in DROP are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and
employee contributions, including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are
defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds.
Collier County, Florida
Property Appraiser
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2016
17
6. Pension Plans (continued)
Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and
may be amended by the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same
employer and employee contribution rates that are based on salary and membership class (Regular
Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions are directed to
individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account
balances among various approved investment choices. Costs of administering plan, including the
FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of 0.06 percent of
payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members.
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are
vested after 1 year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an
accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is
transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS
Pension Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be
vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are
placed in a suspense account for up to 5 years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered
employment within the 5-year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the
employee does not return within the 5-year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated
account balance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the information for the amount of
forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these amounts, if
any, would be immaterial to the Property Appraiser.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to
another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a
lump-sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these
options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the
FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly
benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account
balance for retirement income.

Contributions
The contribution requirements of the Property Appraiser are established and may be amended by
the State of Florida. The Property Appraiser’s employer contributions to the plan for the years
ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, were $451,635, $377,140, and $315,882, respectively,
equal to the required contributions for each year.
Additional information about pension plans can be found in the County’s comprehensive annual
financial report or County-wide financial statements.
7. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan
The Property Appraiser follows GASB Statement 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by
Employers for Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions in accounting for postemployment
benefits.
Plan Description
The Property Appraiser participates in a group health care plan that covers eligible retirees, and
their dependents, of the Board and all Constitutional Officers with the exception of the Sheriff. The
Board administers the plan and establishes the benefits. The healthcare plan does not issue a
stand-alone financial report, however additional actuarial information regarding the plan as a
whole is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements of Collier County, Florida (the County).
Under Florida Statutes, retirees originally hired prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible to participate in
the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 62 and have 6 years of
service or have at least 30 years of service. Employees hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible to
participate in the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 65 and
have 8 years of service or have at least 33 years of service. Employees eligible for a reduced
benefit under the Florida Retirement System prior to age 62 (65 years of age if hired on or after
July 1, 2011) are also eligible to participate in the medical plan. In addition, the Property Appraiser
provides no subsidy to the retiree, or their dependents, for group health care.

7. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan (continued)
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the plan members and the employers are established and may be
amended by the County. The plans are financed by the participating agencies on a pay as you go
basis through the County’s self insurance internal service fund. Participating agencies contribute
an additional amount per each active employee to fund retiree health care. The Property Appraiser
had a net OPEB obligation of $50,327 as of September 30, 2016.
The annual other postemployment benefit cost is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB
Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid by on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a
period not to exceed thirty years. An actuarial valuation on the plan as a whole was performed in
November 2013. The notes to the financial statements of the County disclose additional
information regarding the other post employment benefit plan as a whole.
8. Related-Party Transactions
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Board paid fees to the Property Appraiser
that amounted to $6,120,340. At September 30, 2016, the Property Appraiser had a payable due to
the Board of $706,795, respectively, comprised as follows:
Distribution of excess commissions and fees 706,795$
9. Risk Management
Collier County, Florida (County) is exposed to various risks of loss including but not limited to,
general liability, health and life, property and casualty, auto and physical damage, and workers’
compensation. The County is substantially self-insured and accounts for and finances its risk of
uninsured losses through an internal service fund. All liabilities associated with these self-insured
risks are reported in the basic financial statements of the County. The Property Appraiser
participates in the County’s self-insurance program. During the year ended September 30, 2016,
the Property Appraiser was charged $1,044,773 by the County for participation in the risk
management program.

9. Risk Management (continued)
The County retains the first $500,000 per claim for workers’ compensation, and has purchased
outside excess coverage for up to the statutory limits for each injury or illness. The County also
provides coverage for up to $500,000 per occurrence for general liability and $300,000 per
occurrence for auto liability coverage and has purchased outside excess coverage for up to
$5 million per claim. Negligence claims in excess of the statutory limits set in Section 768.20,
Florida Statutes, which provide for limited sovereign immunity of $200,000/$300,000 per
occurrence can only be recovered through an act of the State Legislature. Property claims are
subject to a 5% wind deductible and a $50,000 deductible for all other perils. The County retains
the first $100,000 per claim/$200,000 per occurrence for public official errors and omissions and
crime coverage and has purchased outside excess coverage for up to $5 million per claim. There
have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage in the last year. Settled claims have not
exceeded the insurance provided by third party carriers in any of the last three years.
The County is self-insured for health claims covering all of its employees and their eligible
dependents. The County retains the first $400,000 per covered member and has purchased outside
excess coverage for all claims exceeding this amount. An actuarial valuation is performed each
year to estimate the amounts needed to pay prior and future claims and to establish reserves.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Property Appraiser is involved as a defendant or plaintiff in certain litigation and claims
arising from the ordinary course of operations. In the opinion of the Property Appraiser and legal
counsel, the range of potential recoveries or liabilities will not materially affect the financial
position of the Property Appraiser.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the general fund of the Collier County,
Florida Property Appraiser (Property Appraiser), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Property Appraiser’s financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 12, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Property Appraiser’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property Appraiser’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property Appraiser’s internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not
identified. We did identify a certain deficiency in internal control, described below as item 2016-002, that we
consider to be a material weakness.

2016-002 – Audit Adjustment
Criteria
The Property Appraiser is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the financial statements.
Condition
A material audit adjustment was required to correct revenue, expenditures, and fund balance.
Cause
An erroneous entry was recorded to net revenue and expenditures for the amount that the Property Appraiser
was over budget for the year.
Effect
Revenue and expenditures were understated.
Recommendation
We recommend that management and the Property Appraiser review the financial information to ensure the no
journal entries are prepared that net revenue and expenditure items.
View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions
Management agrees that the entry needed to be corrected. Management has put processes into place to ensure
that all entries are reviewed for accuracy and approved.
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser
23
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Property Appraiser’s financial statements are free
from 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 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 instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards and which is described below as item 2016-001.
2016-001 – Budget
Criteria
Florida Statutes 195.087 (1)(a) requires the Property Appraiser to submit a budget for operation of the Property
Appraiser’s office for the fiscal year to the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) for review and approval.
Total expenditures should not exceed the total appropriations as approved by DOR.
Condition
The Property Appraiser’s total expenditures exceeded its final approved total appropriations.
Cause
A budget amendment was not submitted prior to the expenditure of additional amounts for capital outlay.
Effect
The Property Appraiser expended $89,313 in excess of final approved appropriations.
Recommendation
We recommend that management and the Property Appraiser periodically review budget to actual reports to
determine if the Property Appraiser is adhering to its adopted budget. If circumstances arise that will cause the
Property Appraiser to incur total expenditures in excess of approved total appropriations, the Property
Appraiser should first submit a budget amendment to the DOR.
View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions
Management encountered some unexpected expenses, such as increased insurance and a billing form FRS did
not file a budget amendment. Management has added the budget to the accounting software to allow budget to
actual to be monitored in a timely fashion.
Property Appraiser’s Response to Findings
The Property Appraiser’s responses to the findings identified in our audit are described previously. The
Property Appraiser’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and
the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Honorable Abe Skinner
Property Appraiser
Collier County, Florida
We have examined the Collier County, Florida Property Appraiser’s (Property Appraiser) compliance with
Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds during the year ended
September 30, 2016. Management is responsible for the Property Appraiser’s compliance with those

examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
Property Appraiser’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Property Appraiser’s compliance
with specified requirements.
In our opinion, the Property Appraiser complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned
requirements for the year ended September 30, 2016.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Property Appraiser and the Auditor General,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each major fund and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the Collier County, Florida Sheriff (Sheriff), as of and for the year ended September 30,
2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Sheriff’s financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information for the Sheriff
as of September 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows
and budgetary comparison thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements referred to above were prepared
solely for the purpose of complying with the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. In
conformity with the Rules, the accompanying financial statements are intended to present the financial
position and changes in financial position of each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information,
only for that portion of the major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of Collier County
that is attributable to the Sheriff. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of
Collier County as of September 30, 2016, and the changes in its financial position for the fiscal year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our
opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Schedule of
Funding Progress for the Retiree Health Plan, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement
the financial statements. Such information, although not a required part of the financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency
with management’s responses to our inquiries, the financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion
or provide any assurance.
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our
opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Sheriff’s financial statements. The combining statements, as listed in the table of contents, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The
combining statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the combining statements are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 20,
2016 on our consideration of the Sheriff’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters
included under the heading Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and
on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Sheriff’s internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

The financial statements include the general fund, special revenue funds, proprietary fund (internal
service fund), and agency funds of the Sheriff’s office. The accompanying financial statements
were prepared for the purpose of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General - Local Governmental Entity Audits, which allows the
Sheriff to only present fund financial statements. These financial statements present only the
portion of the funds of Collier County, Florida that are attributable to the Sheriff. They are not
intended to present fairly the financial positions and results of operations of Collier County, Florida
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There
are no separate legal entities (component units) for which the Sheriff is financially accountable.
Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General - Local Governmental Entity Audits requires the
Sheriff to only present fund financial statements. Accordingly, due to the omission of
government-wide financial statements and related disclosures, including a management’s
discussion and analysis, these financial statements do not constitute a complete presentation of
the financial position of the Sheriff as of September 30, 2016 and the changes in its financial
position and its cash flows, where applicable, for the year then ended, in conformity with
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial
Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments,
but otherwise constitute financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As a result of the budgetary oversight by the Board and the financial dependency on the Board,
the financial activities of the Sheriff are included in the Collier County, Florida Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report.

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Basis of Presentation
Transfers are provided by appropriations from the Board pursuant to law. Estimated receipts and
budgeted fund balances must equal appropriations. The Sheriff is required to refund to the Board
all excess appropriations annually; therefore, no unappropriated general fund balance is
carried forward.
The fund financial statements report detailed information about the Sheriff. The focus of
governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type.
Each major fund is reported in a separate column.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. Only current assets and current liabilities, generally, are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements for these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing
sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental funds. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become measurable and available to finance liabilities of the current fiscal year). For this
purpose, the Sheriff considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days after
year-end with the exception of grants, which have a period of availability of one year. Grants are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. Expenditures are
recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for compensated absences, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
Substantially all of the Sheriff’s funding is appropriated by the Board. In applying the
susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenue, there are essentially two types of
revenue. In one, money must be expended on the specific purpose or project before any amounts
will be paid to the Sheriff; therefore, revenue is recognized based upon the expenditures
incurred. In the other, money is virtually unrestricted and is revocable only for failure to comply
with prescribed compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenue at the time of
receipt, or earlier, if the “susceptible to accrual” criteria are met.
Other revenue is recognized as earned and becomes measurable and available to pay liabilities of
the current period.

Governmental Funds (continued)
Florida Statutes provide that the amount by which revenues and transfers exceed annual
expenditures be remitted to the Board immediately following the fiscal year for which the
funding was provided or following the fiscal year during which other revenue was recognized. The
amount of this distribution is recorded as a liability and as another financing use in the
accompanying financial statements.
Capital outlays expended in governmental fund operations are capitalized in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Sheriff.
The Sheriff has three major governmental funds:
General Fund – The general fund is used to account for the general operations of the Sheriff
and includes all transactions which are not accounted for in another fund.
Grant Special Revenue Fund – This fund is used to account for the proceeds of federal and
state grant revenues that are legally restricted to specified purposes.
Prisoner Welfare Fund – This fund is used to account for the proceeds of inmate related
services and is legally restricted to specified purposes, which benefit the inmate population.
Federal Equitable Sharing Fund – The revenue from this fund is the result of joint
investigations with federal agencies that result in the equitable sharing of the net proceeds of
the forfeiture.
The Sheriff also has the following non-major funds:
Reported as Other Non-major Special Revenue Funds
Confiscated Trust Fund – This fund is used to account for the proceeds of funds collected
pursuant to Florida Statute 932.705. Funds are used for local match for grants, drug abuse
education and prevention programs, and for other law enforcement purposes as the Board
deems appropriate.

Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds – Agency Funds – These funds are used to account for assets held by the Sheriff
as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. Agency funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities), and do not involve measurement of results of
operations or have a measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis
of accounting.
Proprietary Fund
Internal Service Fund – This fund is used to account for the health and dental insurance services
provided to departments and retirees of the Sheriff on a cost-reimbursement basis. Proprietary
funds are accounted for 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.

Cash Equivalents and Investments
Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less.
The Sheriff invests funds throughout the year with Florida Prime, an investment pool
administered by the State Board of Administration (“SBA”), under the regulatory oversight of
the State of Florida. Investments in Florida PRIME are made pursuant to Chapter 125.31,
Florida Statutes. Florida PRIME is considered a qualifying external investment pool that meets
all the necessary criteria to elect to measure all of the investments at amortized cost. Therefore,
the fair value of the Sheriff’s position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The
investments are not categorized because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in
physical or book entry form. Throughout the year, and as of September 30, 2016, Florida
PRIME contained certain floating and adjustable rate securities. These investments represented
27.6% of Florida PRIME’s portfolio at September 30, 2016.
In accordance with GASB 79, as a participant in a qualifying external investment pool, the
Sheriff should disclose the presence of any limitations or restrictions on withdrawals (such as
redemption notice periods, maximum transaction amounts, and the qualifying external
investment pool’s authority to impose liquidity fees or redemption gates in the notes to the
financial statements.
With regards to redemption gates, Chapter 218.409(8)(a), Florida Statutes, states that “The
principal, and any part thereof, of each account constituting the trust fund is subject to payment
at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the Executive Director may, in good
faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of the
trust fund, for 48 hours limit contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that
the Board can invest moneys entrusted to it in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action
must be immediately disclosed to all participants, the Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing
Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government Advisory
council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting before the expiration of the 48-hour
moratorium on contributions and withdrawals, the moratorium may be extended by the
Executive Director until the Trustees are able to meet to review the necessity for the moratorium.
If the Trustees agree with such measures, the Trustees shall vote to continue any such measures
before the expiration of the time limit set, but in no case may the time limit set by the Trustees
exceed 15 days.”

Cash Equivalents and Investments (continued)
With regard to liquidity fees, Florida Statute 218.409(4) provides authority for the SBA to
impose penalties for early withdrawal, subject to disclosure in the enrollment materials of the
amount and purpose of such fees. At present, no such disclosure has been made.
At September 30, 2016, there were no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any
other requirements that serve to limit a participant’s daily access to 100 percent of their account
value.
Compensated Absences
All full-time employees of the Sheriff are allowed to accumulate an unlimited number of hours
of unused sick time and up to 500 hours of unused vacation leave. Upon termination, employees
receive 100% of allowable accumulated vacation hours. If the member leaves in good standing
they will also receive a percentage of unused sick leave, depending on years of service, not to
exceed 2,000 hours. Vacation time and sick leave are included in operating costs when the
payments are made to the employees. The Sheriff does not, nor is the Sheriff legally required to,
accumulate expendable financial resources for these unmatured obligations. Accordingly, the
liability for compensated absences is not reported in the governmental funds, but rather is
reported in the basic financial statements for the County.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Sheriff to make a number
of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period. Significant items subject to
such estimates and assumptions include the self-insurance claims payable. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-Type Definitions
Fund balances are classified either as non-spendable or as spendable. Spendable fund balances
are further classified in a hierarchy based on the extent to which there are external and/or internal
constraints in how fund balance amounts may be spent.

Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-Type Definitions (continued)
Non-spendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in
spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The Sheriff did
not have any non-spendable fund balances as of September 30, 2016.
Spendable fund balances are classified based on a hierarchy of the Sheriff’s ability to control the
spending of these fund balances and are reported in the following categories: restricted,
committed, assigned and unassigned. The Sheriff’s fund balances for the grant special revenue
fund, prisoner welfare fund and federal equitable sharing fund fall into this category.
Fund balances maintained in the Grant Special Revenue Fund, Prisoner Welfare Fund and the
Federal Equitable Sharing Fund are constrained for specific purposes that are externally imposed
by grantors, laws, or regulations or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation, and are reports as restricted fund balances.
2. Budgetary Process
Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption, and administration of the Sheriff’s annual
budget. The Sheriff prepares a budget for the general fund and submits it to the Board for
approval. The budget is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, except that the proceeds from capital leases and the
related capital outlay are not budgeted and certain expenditures for long-term projects which are
reimbursed by the Board are also not budgeted. Any subsequent amendments to the budget must
be approved by the Board. The annual budget serves as the legal authorization for expenditures.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations lapse at
year-end. Budgetary control is maintained at the departmental major object expenditure level.
Budgetary changes within the major object expenditure categories are made at the discretion of
the Sheriff.
The Sheriff does not budget for the grant special revenue fund as it is funded by federal and state
grants and is governed by those documents. Additionally, the prisoner welfare and federal
equitable sharing funds do not have legally adopted budgets.
The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original
budget adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year, whenever legally authorized.

Custodial Credit Risk
At September 30, 2016, the Sheriff’s demand deposits were entirely covered by Federal
Depository Insurance or by collateral pledged with the State Treasurer pursuant to Chapter 280,
Florida Statutes. Under this Chapter, in the event of default by a participating financial
institution (a qualified public depository), all participating institutions are obligated to reimburse
the government entity for the loss.
The investments in the Internal Service Fund are part of the Florida Sheriffs Multiple Employers
Trust (FSMET) and are administered by Hunt Insurance Group. FMSET’s policy required
execution of a third-party custodial safekeeping agreement for purchased securities and
collateral, and requires that securities be held in the Sheriff’s name.
Credit Risk
The Sheriff’s policy is to follow the guidance in Sections 218.415 and 219.075, Florida Statutes,
regarding the deposit of funds received and the investment of surplus funds. The Sheriff’s
Investment Policy authorizes investments in Florida PRIME (formerly the Local Government
Surplus Funds Trust Fund), or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the
Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act, as provided in s. 163.01, F.S.; Securities and Exchange
Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a
nationally recognized rating agency; interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in
qualified public depositories, as defined in s. 280.02, F.S.; and direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury.
Additionally, Florida Statutes allow local governments to place public funds with institutions
that participate in a collateral pool under the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. The pool
is administered by the State Treasurer, who may make additional assessments to ensure that no
public funds will be lost.
Florida PRIME is administered by the State Board of Administration. Florida PRIME consisted
of money market appropriate assets. At September 30, 2016, the Sheriff had $746,297 invested
in Florida Prime. Florida Prime is rated “AAAm” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.
Interest Rate Risk
The Sheriff has no specific investment policy regarding interest rate risk.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Sheriff’s investments are included in the internal service fund which is used to account for
the Sheriff’s self-insured health plan. The Florida Sheriff’s Multiple Employer Trust (FSMET)
administers the investments for the Sheriff’s self-insured health plan and has an investment
policy that allows for the investment of funds that exceed one month’s required funding by more
than $100,000. Investments can be made in government securities. The Sheriff’s portfolio
managed by FSMET includes investments in U.S. government instrumentalities, and demand
deposits. There are also demand deposits that are not managed by FSMET and are available
dollars managed by the Sheriff to cover daily operations.
The portion of the Sheriff’s portfolio invested in FSMET is detailed as follows, at September 30,
2016:
% of Portfolio
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. 34%
Federal National Mortgage Association 3%
Federal Home Loan Bank 12%
Fair Value Measurements
The Sheriff categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are
significant unobservable inputs.
The Sheriff has the following recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2016:
U.S. Treasury Notes classified as level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using
prices quoted in active markets for those securities.
U.S. Agency obligations classified as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using
quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

4. Capital Assets
Capital assets used by the Sheriff are capitalized in the basic financial statements of Collier
County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Sheriff. Upon acquisition, such
assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds of the Sheriff and are capitalized
at cost in the basic financial statements of the County. 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 value on the date received. The Sheriff maintains custodial
responsibility for the capital assets used by his office. No depreciation expense has been
provided on capital assets in these financial statements. However, depreciation expense on these
assets is recorded in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.

interest in the possibility of a law enforcement career.
8. Pension Plans
Background
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a
defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998
to add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the defined benefit plan and amended in
2000 to provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS
members effective July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS
Investment Plan. Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy
(HIS) Program, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired
members of any State-administered retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the Sheriff are eligible to enroll as members of the State-
administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122,
Florida Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS
Rules, Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits
are defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further
action from the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the
Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two
cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A
comprehensive annual financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements,
required supplementary information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available
from the Florida Department of Management Services’ Web site (www.dms.myflorida.com).

Florida Retirement System Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible
employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other
classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local
government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement
officers, meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service
and employees enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable
service. All vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement
benefits at age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special
risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of
service. All members enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible
for normal retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service, except
for members classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or
at any age after 30 years of service. Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4
years of credit for military service toward creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early
retirement provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for each year a member retires before
his or her normal retirement date. The FRS Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits,
and annual cost-of-living adjustments to eligible participants.
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for
normal retirement under the FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while
continuing employment with an FRS participating employer. An employee may participate in
DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain
instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP
participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The
net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are
considered retired and are not accruing additional pension benefits.

8. Pension Plans (continued)
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average
final compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a
percentage of the average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1,
2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for
members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average
of the 8 highest fiscal years’ earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is
determined by calculating the total value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to
which the member belonged when the service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-
line-of-duty or regular disability and survivors’ benefits.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-
living adjustment is 3 percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011,
and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living
adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3 percent determined by
dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement
multiplied by 3 percent. FRS Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not
have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of FRS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-
wide statements of the County.
Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program
Plan Description
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be
amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist
retirees of State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is
administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.

Benefits Provided
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly
HIS payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a
minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to
Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a
State-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which
may include Medicare.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of HIS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-
wide statements of the County.
FRS Investment Plan
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan
officially titled the FRS Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in
the SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to
participate in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Sheriff employees
participating in DROP are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and
employee contributions, including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are
defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds.
Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and
may be amended by the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same
employer and employee contribution rates that are based on salary and membership class
(Regular Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions are
directed to individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and
account balances among various approved investment choices. Costs of administering plan,
including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of
0.06 percent of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members.

8. Pension Plans (continued)
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are
vested after 1 year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an
accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is
transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS
Pension Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be
vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are
placed in a suspense account for up to 5 years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered
employment within the 5-year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the
employee does not return within the 5-year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated
account balance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the information for the amount of
forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these amounts, if
any, would be immaterial to the Sheriff.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to
another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump-
sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these
options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to
the FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime
monthly benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon
that account balance for retirement income.
Contributions
Participating employer contributions are based upon statewide rates established by the State of
Florida. The Sheriff’s contributions made to the plans during the years ended September 30,
2016, 2015, and 2014 were $15,023,011, $13,341,786, and $12,767,042, respectively, equal to
the actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year.
Additional information about pension plans can be found in the County’s comprehensive annual
financial report.

9. Other Postemployment Benefits
The Sheriff follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 45 Accounting and Financial
Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, for its other
postemployment benefits (OPEB).
Plan Description
The Sheriff administers a single-employer defined benefit plan (OPEB Plan) and can amend the
benefit provisions. Prior to 2010, the Sheriff offered an OPEB Plan that subsidized the cost of
health care for of retirees who have six years of creditable service with the Sheriff and who
receive a monthly retirement benefit from the Florida Retirement System. The Sheriff subsidizes
approximately 20% for both single coverage and family coverage for qualifying individuals. In
2010, the subsidy was no longer made available to eligible retirees who chose to continue their
health insurance coverage. Approximately 46% of retirees receive the subsidy. Additionally, in
accordance with Florida Statute 112.0801, Sheriff’s employees who retire and immediately begin
receiving benefits from the FRS have the option of paying premiums to continue in the Sheriff’s
health insurance plan at the same group rate as for active employees.
At September 30, 2016, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, the Sheriff’s plan participation
consisted of:
OPEB plan participants 1,105
Retirees receiving benefits 106
Funding Policy
The Sheriff has the authority to establish and amend funding policy. The OPEB Plan is currently
being funded on a pay as you go basis. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Sheriff
contributed $818,021 to the OPEB Plan.
The annual other postemployment benefit cost for the plan is calculated based on the annual
required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance
with GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing
basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities
over a period not to exceed thirty years. An actuarial valuation on the plan as a whole was
performed as of October 1, 2016.

(annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was approximately
$122.9 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 12.8%.

Funded Status and Funding Progress (continued)
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following
the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the 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.
Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of
the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members in effect at the time of each
valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that
point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate
the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing
between the employer and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term
perspective. Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
The actuarial methods are:
Actuarial cost method Projected Unit Credit Method
Amortization method Closed
Amortization period 30 years, Level Dollar Amount
The actuarial assumptions are:
Investment rate of return 3%
Discount rate 3%
Healthcare cost trend rate 8% for the 2016 fiscal year grading to an
ultimate rate of 5% for the 2023 fiscal year

10. Self-Insurance Program
The Sheriff’s Office participates in the Statewide Florida Sheriff’s Self-Insurance Fund (the
Fund) for its professional liability insurance. The Fund is managed by representatives of the
participating Sheriff offices and provides professional liability insurance to participating
agencies. The Fund provides liability insurance coverage subject to the following limitations:
$5,000,000 for any one incident, and $10,000,000 for an annual aggregate. The Sheriff also
participates in the Fund for workers’ compensation coverage. The Florida Sheriffs Workers’
Compensation Self Insurance Program is a self-insurance program providing coverage for the
first $500,000 of every claim. Reinsurance is purchased by the Program to cover claims
exceeding $500,000 (or $350,000 where applicable) up to $10,000,000. Reinsurance coverage up
to $20,000,000 any one person on a catastrophic basis is available when applicable. Settled
claims have not exceeded the insurance provided by third-party carriers in any of the past three
years.
Premiums charged to participating Sheriffs are based upon amounts believed by the Fund
management to meet the estimated annual payout during the fiscal year and to pay for the
estimated operating costs of the program. All liabilities associated with these self-insured risks
are reported in the basic financial statements of the Fund.
The Sheriff has also established a self-funded employee health plan for active employees and
retirees. An internal service fund is used to account for the activities of the plan. Excess coverage
has been purchased which provides specific claim excess coverage for any one incident
exceeding $200,000. In FY15 there was one covered member who had a deductible amount of
$450,000 because of a history of high claims. Specific claim excess coverage for this individual
was for claims exceeding $450,000. The maximum annual individual stop loss payment amount
is unlimited. Payments to the internal service fund are based on actuarial estimates of amounts
needed to pay prior year and current year claims including claims incurred but not yet reported.
The Sheriff’s Office uses a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to administer and pay claims for the
health plan. Meritain Health, Inc. has been the TPA since July 1, 2013.
Changes in the balance of estimated insurance claims payable for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:
New Claims
Balance and Changes Claim Balance
Fiscal year ending: October 1 in Estimates Payments September 30

11. Claims and Contingencies
Litigation
The Sheriff is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
operations. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have
a material adverse effect on the Sheriff.
Federal and State Grants
Grant funds received by the Sheriff are subject to audit by grantor agencies. Audits of these
grants may result in disallowed costs, which may constitute a liability of the Sheriff. In the
opinion of management, disallowed costs, if any, would be immaterial to the financial position of
the Sheriff.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of each major fund and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the Collier County, Florida Sheriff (Sheriff), as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Sheriff’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 20, 2016.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Sheriff's internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sheriff’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of Sheriff’s internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in
internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that
have not been identified.
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
39
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Sheriff's financial statements are free from
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 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control
or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Other Matters
Section 10.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address in the management letter any
recommendations to improve financial management. In connection with our audit, we made
recommendations as listed in the following schedule of findings and responses.
The Sheriff’s responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of

Section 10.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address noncompliance with
provisions of contracts or grant agreements, or abuse, that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred, that
have an effect on the financial statements that is less than material but which warrants the attention of those
charged with governance. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.
Purpose of this Letter
Our management letter is intended solely for the information and use of the Legislative Auditing Committee,

Current Year Findings and Recommendations
MLC 2016-001 User Access Rights
Criteria: Employee access rights to the system applications should be restricted to not include conflicting
duties. Additionally, terminated employees should be removed from the system in a timely manner.
Condition: During the audit, CLA noted that fiscal payroll clerk user rights were not properly restricted for
adding new employees. Additionally, two terminated employees had access rights that were not
disabled/deleted timely.
Effect: There is an increased risk that access and user rights are inappropriately granted and are not
appropriately restricted which could cause a lack of segregation of duties within the control environment of
the Sheriff. Additionally, the IT department does not have a process in place to ensure a terminated
employee’s rights are disabled/deleted in a timely manner. This results in increased security risk and to
network vulnerabilities.
Recommendation: The IT department should ensure that individuals are not granted conflicted access to
the system and are appropriately restricted. Additionally, the IT department should develop a process to
ensure terminated employees are removed from access to the system in a timely manner.
Management’s Response: User rights for fiscal payroll clerks have been reviewed and modified so new
employees can no longer be added.
Access rights to the finance system are periodically updated by the IT department to disable/delete
terminated employees. It should be noted that when any employee is terminated from the agency, their
network login (primary login for access to any agency programs) is disabled by the IT department upon the
member’s termination. Members cannot access any agency programs unless they are using any agency
issued desktop or laptop computer. While the finance program access for the two noted employees was not
immediately disabled, their network login was disabled upon their termination. This would have made it
extremely difficult for either of them to access the finance program as they would have had to have access to
an agency computer which had the finance program installed, and which another member was logged on to
the network.
Measures have been put in place to disable/delete a member’s access to finance programs when their
employment has been terminated.

MLC 2016-002 E911 Expenditures
Criteria: Florida Statutes Section 365.172 defines allowable expenditures for E911 funding.
Condition: During the audit, CLA noted unallowable expenditures consisting of $12,361 of promotional
items, $703 of auto insurance and $963 liability insurance that were paid from E911 funds.
Effect: The Sheriff did not comply with the restrictions on the use of E911 funding and monitoring
procedures over the use of E911 funds and did not identify the issue.
Recommendation: Sheriff personnel should become familiar with and develop a clear understanding of the
allowable expenditures under E911 funding and develop tools to assist in the effective monitoring of
restrictions under this funding.
Management’s Response: Measures have been put in place to thoroughly review any expenditures under
E911 funding to ensure they are appropriate and in accordance with Florida Statute 365.172.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
Collier County, Florida
We have examined the Collier County, Florida Sheriff’s (Sheriff) compliance with Section 218.415, Florida
Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds during the year ended September 30, 2016. Management is
responsible for the Sheriff's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Sheriff's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence
about the Sheriff’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Sheriff’s compliance with
specified requirements.
In our opinion, the Sheriff complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the
year ended September 30, 2016.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Sheriff and the Auditor General, State of

ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
Honorable Kevin Rambosk
Sheriff
Collier County, Florida
We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by management of the Collier
County, Florida Sheriff (Sheriff), solely to assist you in evaluating the procedures and policies as defined by
the Sheriff over its investigative funds for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Sheriff’s management is
responsible for the Sheriff’s compliance with those procedures and policies. This agreed-upon procedures
engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the party
specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures
described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures we performed and our findings are summarized as follows:
We randomly selected 25 investigative fund disbursements during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016
(the population sampled from included transactions from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016), and
performed the following procedures with respect to the Sheriff’s policies and procedures over investigative
funds:
1. We obtained the “Disbursement for Investigation” form and observed that the form was properly
completed and authorized by appropriate personnel.
2. We obtained the “Purchase of Evidence/Information Voucher” and observed that the form was
properly completed to reflect the expenses incurred within the investigation procedures, that the
investigative expenditures were properly supported, and that the use of funds was for authorized
purposes. No exceptions were noted.
3. We observed that the unused funds returned, if applicable, agreed to the corresponding deposit and
bank statement detail and observed that the amount deposited agreed to the amount returned per the
“Receipt for Funds Received” form detail.

We were not engaged to, and did not, conduct an audit or examination, the objective of which would be the
expression of an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed
additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management of the Sheriff and is not
intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than this specified party.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Jennifer J. Edwards
Supervisor of Elections
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each major fund of the Collier County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections (Supervisor), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes
to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the entity’s financial statements as listed in the table
of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Honorable Jennifer J. Edwards
Supervisor of Elections

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of each major fund of the Supervisor as of September 30, 2016, and the
respective changes in financial position and budgetary comparison of its general fund thereof for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements referred to above were prepared
solely for the purpose of complying with the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. In
conformity with the Rules, the accompanying financial statements are intended to present the financial
position and changes in financial position of each major fund, only for that portion of the major funds of
Collier County, Florida that is attributable to the Supervisor. They do not purport to, and do not, present
fairly the financial position of Collier County, Florida as of September 30, 2016, and the changes in its
financial position for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our
opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated January 11, 2017 on
our consideration of the Supervisor’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters
included under the heading Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and
on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Supervisors’ internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
The Collier County, Florida Supervisor of Elections (Supervisor) is an elected constitutional
officer as provided for by the Constitution of the State of Florida. Pursuant to Chapter 129,
Florida Statutes, the Supervisor of Elections’ budget is submitted to the Collier County, Florida
Board of County Commissioners (Board) for approval.
The financial statements presented include the general fund and grant special revenue fund of the
Supervisor’s office. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for the purpose
of complying with Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General – Local Governmental Entity Audits, which allows the Supervisor to only present fund
financial statements. These financial statements present only the portion of the funds of Collier
County, Florida that are attributable to the Supervisor. They are not intended to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of Collier County, Florida in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial activities of the Supervisor, as a constitutional officer, are included in the Collier
County, Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. There are no separate legal entities
(component units) for which the SOE is considered to be financially accountable.
The general operations of the SOE are funded by appropriations from the Collier County, Florida
Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and grant revenue is funded from the State of Florida.
Pursuant to Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, funds remaining in the general fund at fiscal year-end,
in excess of amounts expended, are returned to the Board. Excess revenues returned to the Board
are reflected as transfers out in the SOE’s general fund. The special revenue fund of the SOE is
not budgeted and governed by grant agreements.
As a result of the budgetary oversight by the Board and financial dependency on the Board, the
financial activities of the Supervisor are included in the Collier County, Florida Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Basis of Presentation
These fund financial statements report detailed information about the Supervisor. The focus of
governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type.
Each major fund is reported in a separate column.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. Only current assets and current liabilities, generally, are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements for these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing
sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
The Supervisor has the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – The general fund is used to account for the general operations of the
Supervisor, and includes all revenues and expenditures which are not accounted
for in another fund.
Grant Special Revenue Fund – The grants fund is used to account for the activities of voter
education and poll worker training grants from the State of Florida.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental funds. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become measurable and available to finance liabilities of the current fiscal year). For this
purpose, the Supervisor considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days
after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for
compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
The appropriations from the Board are the primary source of funds considered to be susceptible
to accrual.
Intergovernmental revenues are recognized when eligibility requirements are met and related
amounts are available from the grantor.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Interest income and other revenues are recognized as they are earned and become measurable
and available to pay liabilities of the current period.
Florida Statutes provide that the amount by which revenues and transfers exceed annual
expenditures be remitted to the Board immediately following the fiscal year for which the
funding was provided or following the fiscal year during which other revenue was recognized.
The amount of this distribution is recorded as a liability and as another financing use in the
accompanying financial statements.
Capital outlays expended in general fund operations are capitalized in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Supervisor.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Compensated Absences
All full-time employees of the Supervisor are allowed to accumulate an unlimited number of
hours of unused sick time and up to 440 hours of unused vacation leave. Effective October 1,
2007, the vacation leave limit was increased to 480 hours, with Supervisor approval. Upon
termination, employees receive 100% of allowable accumulated vacation hours and a percentage
of unused sick leave, depending on years of service. Vacation time and sick leave are included in
operating costs of the general fund when the payments are made to employees. The Supervisor
does not, nor is legally required to accumulate financial resources for these unmatured
obligations. Accordingly, the liability for compensated absences is not reported in the general
fund of the Supervisor, but rather is reported in the basic financial statements of Collier County,
Florida.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Supervisor to make a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund-Type Definitions
Fund balances are classified either as non-spendable or as spendable. Spendable fund balances
are further classified in a hierarchy based on the extent to which there are external and/or internal
constraints in how fund balance amounts may be spent.
Non-spendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in
spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The Supervisor
did not have any non-spendable fund balances as of September 30, 2016.
Spendable fund balances are classified based on a hierarchy of the Supervisor’s ability to control
the spending of these fund balances and are reported in the following categories: restricted,
committed, assigned and unassigned. The Supervisor’s fund balances for the Grant Special
Revenue Fund fall into the spendable restricted category. Fund balances maintained in the Grant
Special Revenue Fund are restricted pursuant to specific grant agreements, and have been
presented in the fund financial statements in accordance with GASB Statement No. 54.

2. Budgetary Process
Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption and administration of the Supervisor’s annual
budget. The Supervisor submits a budget for the general fund to the Board for approval. The
budget is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The annual budget serves as the legal authorization for expenditures.
Any subsequent amendments to the Supervisor’s total budget must be approved by the Board.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations lapse at
year end. Budgetary control is maintained at the departmental major object expenditure level.
Budgetary changes within major object expenditure categories are made at the discretion of the
Supervisor.
The Supervisor does not budget for the grant special revenue fund as it is funded by State grants
and is governed by those documents.
The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original
budget adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year, whenever legally authorized.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Supervisor’s cash and cash equivalents was as
follows:
Carrying Credit
Type Value Rating
Cash on hand $ 200

Demand deposits 166,541 N/A

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
Custodial Credit Risk
At September 30, 2016, the Supervisor’s deposits were entirely covered by Federal Depository
Insurance or by collateral pledged with the State Treasurer pursuant to Chapter 280, Florida
Statutes. Under this Chapter, in the event of default by a participating financial institution (a
qualified public depository), all participating institutions are obligated to reimburse the
governmental entity for the loss.
Credit Risk
The Supervisor’s policy is to follow the guidance in Section 219.075, Florida Statutes, regarding
the deposit of funds received and the investment of surplus funds. Sections 219.075 and 218.415,
Florida Statutes, authorize the Supervisor to invest in Florida PRIME (formerly the Local
Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund) or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized
pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act; Securities and Exchange Commission
registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized
rating agency; direct obligations of the United States Treasury; federal agencies and
instrumentalities or interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in banks organized under
the laws of the United States and doing business and situated in the State of Florida, savings and
loan associations which are under state supervision, or in federal savings and loan associations
located in the State of Florida and organized under federal law and federal supervision, provided
that any such deposits are secured by collateral as may be prescribed by law. The pool is
administered by the State Treasurer, who may make additional assessments to ensure that no
public funds will be lost.
Interest Rate Risk
The Supervisor has no specific investment policy regarding interest rate risk.

4. Capital Assets
Capital assets used by the Supervisor are capitalized in the basic financial statements of Collier
County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Supervisor. Upon acquisition, such
assets are recorded as expenditures in the general fund of the Supervisor and are capitalized at
cost in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida. 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 value on the date received.
The Supervisor maintains custodial responsibility for the capital assets used by the office. No
depreciation expense has been provided on capital assets in these financial statements. However,
depreciation expense is recorded in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
The following is a summary of changes in capital assets, which are reported in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida:
October 1, September 30,
2015 Additions Deductions 2016
Machinery and equipment 1,113,822$ 119,009$ (39,589)$ 1,193,242$

6. Pension Plans
Background
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a
defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to
add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the defined benefit plan and amended in 2000 to
provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS members effective
July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment Plan. Chapter
112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) Program, a cost-sharing
multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired members of any State-administered
retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the Supervisor are eligible to enroll as members of the State-
administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122, Florida
Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS Rules,
Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits are
defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further action from
the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two cost-sharing,
multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A comprehensive annual
financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements, required supplementary
information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available from the Florida
Department of Management Services’ Web site (www.dms.myflorida.com).
Florida Retirement System Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible employees.
The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement officers,
meet the criteria to qualify for this class.

6. Pension Plans (continued)
Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (continued)
Plan Description (continued)
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service and
employees enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable service. All
vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 62
or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special risk who are eligible
for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service. All members enrolled
in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at
age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service, except for members classified as special risk
who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or at any age after 30 years of service.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4 years of credit for military service toward
creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early retirement provision; however, there is a
benefit reduction for each year a member retires before his or her normal retirement date. The FRS
Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual cost-of-living adjustments to eligible
participants.
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for
normal retirement under the FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing
employment with an FRS participating employer. An employee may participate in DROP for a
period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain instructional
personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP participation, deferred
monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The net pension liability does
not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are considered retired and are not
accruing additional pension benefits.

Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (continued)
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final
compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the
average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final
compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled on
or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 8 highest fiscal years’
earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total
value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the
service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and
survivors’ benefits.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-living
adjustment is 3 percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has
service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment.
The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3 percent determined by dividing the sum of
the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3 percent. FRS
Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment
after retirement.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of FRS’s net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide statements
of the County.
Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program
Plan Description
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be
amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of
State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by
the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.

payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a
minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to Section
112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a State-
administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may include
Medicare.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of HIS’s net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide statements

FRS Investment Plan
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan officially
titled the FRS Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in the SBA’s
annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate in
the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. SOE employees participating in DROP
are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contributions,
including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate
benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds. Benefit terms, including contribution
requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amended by the Florida
Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and employee contribution rates
that are based on salary and membership class (Regular Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the
FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions are directed to individual member accounts, and the
individual members allocate contributions and account balances among various approved investment
choices. Costs of administering plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded
through an employer contribution of 0.06 percent of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan
members.

6. Pension Plans (continued)
FRS Investment Plan (continued)
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are
vested after 1 year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated
benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the
Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS Pension Plan vesting
(including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the
earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to
5 years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered employment within the 5-year period, the employee
will regain control over their account. If the employee does not return within the 5-year period, the
employee will forfeit the accumulated account balance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the
information for the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management
believes that these amounts, if any, would be immaterial to the SOE.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another
qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump-sum
distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these options.
Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the FRS
Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits
under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for
retirement income.
Contributions
Participating employer contributions are based upon statewide rates established by the State of
Florida. The Supervisor’s contributions made to the plans during the years ended September 30,
2016, 2015 and 2014, were $114,600, $106,131 and $103,864, respectively, equal to the
actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year.
Additional information about pension plans can be found in the County’s comprehensive annual
financial report.

7. Related-Party Transactions
For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Board provided funding for the Supervisor that
amounted to $3,994,700. At September 30, 2016, the Supervisor had a payable due to the Board
of $45,712 comprised as follows:
Distribution of excess appropriations $ 41,552
Distribution of interest earnings 2,909
Amounts due for various services 1,251

8. Risk Management
Collier County, Florida (County) is exposed to various risks of loss including, but not limited to,
general liability, health and life, property and casualty, auto and physical damage and workers’
compensation. The County is substantially self-insured and accounts for and finances its risk of
uninsured losses through an internal service fund. All liabilities associated with these self-
insured risks are reported in the basic financial statements of the County. The Supervisor
participates in the County’s self-insurance program. During the year ended September 30, 2016,
the Supervisor was charged $293,099 by the County for participation in the risk management
program.
The County retains the first $500,000 per claim for workers’ compensation, and has purchased
outside excess coverage for up to statutory limit for each injury or illness. The County also
provides coverage for up to $500,000 per occurrence for general liability and $300,000 per
occurrence for auto liability coverage and has purchased outside excess coverage for up to $5
million per claim. Negligence claims in excess of the statutory limits set in Section 768.28,
Florida Statutes, which provide for limited sovereign immunity of $200,000/$300,000 per
occurrence can only be recovered through an act of the State Legislature. Property claims
are subject to a 5 percent wind deductible and a $50,000 deductible for all other perils. The
County retains the first $100,000 per claim/$200,000 per occurrence for public official errors
and omissions and crime coverage and has purchased outside excess coverage for up to $5
million per claim. There have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage in the last
year. Settled claims have not exceeded the insurance provided by third party carriers in any of
the last three years.
Collier County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections

8. Risk Management (continued)
The County is self-insured for health claims covering all of its employees and their eligible
dependents. The County retains the first $400,000 per covered member and has purchased
outside excess coverage for all claims exceeding this amount. An actuarial valuation is
performed each year to estimate the amounts needed to pay prior and future claims and to
establish reserves.
9. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan
The Supervisor follows GASB Statement 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers
for Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions in accounting for postemployment benefits.
Plan Description
The SOE participates in a group health care plan that covers eligible retirees, and their dependents, of
the Board and all Constitutional Officers with the exception of the Sheriff. The Board administers the
plan and establishes the benefits. The healthcare plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report;
however, additional actuarial information regarding the plan as a whole is disclosed in the notes to
the financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
Under Florida Statutes, retirees originally hired prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible to participate in the
active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 62 and have 6 years of service
or have at least 30 years of service. Employees hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible to
participate in the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 65 and have 8
years of service or have at least 33 years of service. Employees eligible for a reduced benefit under
the Florida Retirement System prior to age 62 (65 if hired on or after July 1, 2011) are also eligible to
participate in the medical plan. The Supervisor provides no subsidy to the retiree, or their
dependents, for group health care.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the plan members and the employers are established and may
be amended by the County. The plans are financed by the participating agencies on a pay as you
go basis through the County’s self insurance internal service fund. Participating agencies
contribute an additional amount per each active employee to fund retiree health care. The
Supervisor had a net OPEB obligation of $18,147 as of September 30, 2016.
Collier County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2016

9. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan (continued)
The annual other postemployment benefit cost is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB
Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid by on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a
period not to exceed thirty years. An actuarial valuation on the plan as a whole was performed in
November 2014. The notes to the financial statements of the County disclose additional
information regarding the other post-employment benefit plan as a whole.
10. Contingencies
Grant funds received by the Supervisor are subject to audit by grantor agencies. Audits of these
grants may result in disallowed costs, which may constitute a liability of the office of the
Supervisor. In the opinion of management, disallowed costs, if any, would not have a significant
impact on the financial position of the Supervisor.
11. Transfers
Transfers between funds are for the purpose of providing matching funds to the Supervisor’s
grants. Transfers were required in the amount of $4,727 for the year ending September 30, 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Jennifer J. Edwards
Supervisor of Elections
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of each major fund of the Collier
County, Florida Supervisor of Elections (Supervisor), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Supervisor’s financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 11, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Supervisor’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Supervisor’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Supervisor’s internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in
internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that
have not been identified.
Honorable Jennifer J. Edwards
Supervisor of Elections
22
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Supervisor’s financial statements are free from
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 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control
or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Honorable Jennifer J. Edwards
Supervisor of Elections
Collier County, Florida
We have examined the Collier County, Florida Supervisor of Elections’ (Supervisor) compliance with
Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds during the year ended
September 30, 2016. Management is responsible for the Supervisor’s compliance with those requirements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Supervisor's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence
about the Supervisor’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Supervisor’s compliance with

the year ended September 30, 2016.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Supervisor and the Auditor General, State of

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Larry H. Ray
Tax Collector
Collier County, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the general fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the Collier County, Florida Tax Collector (Tax Collector), as of and for the years ended
September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
the Tax Collector’s financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Honorable Larry H. Ray
Tax Collector
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the general fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Tax Collector as of
September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the respective changes in financial position for the years then ended and the
budgetary comparison for the general fund thereof for the year ended September 30, 2016, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements referred to above were prepared
solely for the purpose of complying with the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. In conformity
with the Rules, the accompanying financial statements are intended to present the financial position and
changes in financial position of each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, only for that
portion of the major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of Collier County, Florida that is
attributable to the Tax Collector. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of
Collier County, Florida as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its financial position for the
fiscal years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic
financial statement is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 5, 2017 on
our consideration of the Tax Collector's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters
included under the heading Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Tax Collector’s internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
The Tax Collector is an elected official of the County, pursuant to the Constitution of the State of
Florida, Article VIII, Section 1(d). The Tax Collector is part of the primary government of the
County. Although the Florida Department of Revenue approves the Tax Collector’s operating
budget, the Tax Collector is responsible for the administration and the operation of the Tax
Collector’s office. Upon approval, the operating budget is provided to the Collier County Board of
County Commissioners (Board). The Tax Collector’s financial statements include only the funds
of the Tax Collector’s office. There are no separate legal entities (component units) for which the
Tax Collector is considered to be financially accountable.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with
Section 218.39(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General – Local
Governmental Entity Audits, which allows the Tax Collector to only present fund financial
statements. These financial statements present only the portion of the funds of Collier County,
Florida that are attributable to the Tax Collector. They are not intended to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of Collier County, Florida in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial activities of the Tax Collector, as a constitutional officer, are included in the Collier
County, Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
These fund financial statements report detailed information about the Tax Collector. The focus of
governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each
major fund is reported in a separate column.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. Only current assets and current liabilities, generally, are included on the balance sheets.
Operating statements for these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The Tax
Collector’s only governmental fund is the general fund. The general fund is used to account for the
general operations of the Tax Collector and includes all transactions not accounted for in another
fund.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by governmental funds. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become measurable and available to finance liabilities of the current fiscal year). For this purpose,
the Tax Collector considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days after
year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for certain
compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
Interest income and other revenue are recognized as they are earned and become measurable and
available to pay liabilities of the current period.
Substantially all of the Tax Collector’s revenue is received from taxing authorities. These monies
are virtually unrestricted and are revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed compliance
requirements. These resources are reflected as revenue at the time of receipt; earlier if the
“susceptible to accrual” criteria are met.
Florida Statutes provide that the amount by which revenues exceed annual expenditures be
remitted to each governmental agency or the Board immediately following the fiscal year for
which the funding was provided or following the fiscal year during which other revenue was
recognized.
Capital outlays expended in the general fund operations are capitalized in the basic financial
statements of Collier County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Tax Collector.

Fiduciary Funds
Agency funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the Tax Collector in a
trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governments.
Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities), and do not involve measurement of
results of operations or have a measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the
accrual basis of accounting.
Refund of “Excess Fees”
Florida Statutes further provide that the excess of revenues over expenditures held by the Tax
Collector be distributed to each governmental agency or the Board in the same proportion as the
fees paid by each governmental agency bear to total fee revenues. The amount of this distribution
is recorded as a liability and as another financing use-transfer out in the accompanying financial
statements.
Compensated Absences
All full-time employees of the Tax Collector are allowed to accumulate an unlimited number of
hours of unused sick leave and up to 240 hours of unused vacation leave. Upon termination,
employees receive 100% of allowable accumulated vacation hours and a percentage of unused sick
leave, depending on years of service. Vacation and sick leave payments are included in operating
costs of the general fund when the payments are made to the employees. The Tax Collector does
not, nor is legally required to, accumulate financial resources for these unmatured obligations.
Accordingly, the liability for compensated absences is not reported in the general fund of the Tax
Collector, but rather is reported in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.

Property Taxes
Property taxes in Collier County are levied by the Board and other taxing authorities. The millage
levies are determined on the basis of estimates of revenue needs and the total taxable valuations
within the jurisdiction of the Board and other taxing authorities. No aggregate ad valorem tax
millage in excess of 10 mills on the dollar can be levied by the Board against property in the
County as specified in Florida Statutes, Section 200.071.
Each year the total taxable property valuation is established by the Collier County, Florida
Property Appraiser, and the list of property assessments is submitted to the State Department of
Revenue for approval. Taxes, assessed as of January 1 of each year, are due and payable on
November 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as the assessment roll is opened for collection.
Pursuant to Florida law, all owners of property have the responsibility of ascertaining the amount
due and paying it before April 1 of the year following the year in which the tax was assessed.
Chapter 197, Florida Statutes, governs property tax collections as follows:
Current Taxes
All property taxes become due and payable on November 1, and are delinquent on April 1 of
the following year. Discounts are allowed for early payment of 4% in November; 3% in
December; 2% in January; and 1% for payment in February.
Unpaid Taxes – Sale of Tax Certificates
The Tax Collector advertises, as required by Florida Statutes, and sells tax certificates on all
real property for unpaid taxes. The taxes assessed on the property are struck off the tax roll to
the purchaser of the tax certificate. Certificates not sold are struck off to the County. The Tax
Collector must receive payment before the certificates are delivered. Any person owning land
upon which a tax certificate has been sold may redeem the tax certificate by paying the Tax
Collector the face amount of the tax certificate plus interest and other costs.
Tax Deeds
Two years after the purchase of a tax certificate the owner may file an application for tax deed
sale. The County, as a certificate owner, exercises similar procedures. Tax deeds are issued to
the highest bidder for the property which is sold at public auction. The Clerk of the Circuit
Court administers these sales.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management of the Tax Collector to make a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
2. Budgetary Process
Florida Statutes govern the preparation, adoption, and administration of the Tax Collector’s
annual budget. The Tax Collector submits a budget for the general fund to the Florida Department
of Revenue for approval. A copy of the approved budget is provided to the Board. Any subsequent
amendments to the Tax Collector’s total budget must be approved by the Florida Department of
Revenue. The budget for the general fund is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The annual budget serves as the
legal authorization for expenditures.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations lapse at
year-end. Budget control is maintained at the departmental major object expenditure level.
Budgetary changes within major object expenditure categories are made at the discretion of the
Tax Collector.
The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original
budget adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year, whenever legally authorized.

qualified public depository), all participating institutions are obligated to reimburse the
governmental entity for the loss.
Credit Risk
The Tax Collector’s policy is to follow the guidance in Section 219.075, Florida Statutes,
regarding the deposit of funds received and the investment of surplus funds. Sections 219.075 and
218.415, Florida Statutes, authorize the Tax Collector to invest in Florida PRIME or any
intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act;
Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit
quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency; direct obligations of the United States
Treasury; federal agencies and instrumentalities or interest-bearing time deposits or savings
accounts in banks organized under the laws of the United States and doing business and situated in

4. Capital Assets
Capital assets used by the Tax Collector are capitalized in the basic financial statements of Collier
County, Florida rather than in the governmental funds of the Tax Collector. Upon acquisition, such
assets are recorded as expenditures in the general fund of the Tax Collector, and are capitalized at
cost in the basic financial statements of Collier County, Florida.
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 value on the date received. The
Tax Collector maintains custodial responsibility for the capital assets used by the office. No
depreciation expense has been provided on capital assets in these financial statements. However,
depreciation expense on these assets is recorded in the basic financial statements of Collier
County, Florida.

6. Pension Plans
Background
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) was created by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, to provide a
defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to
add the Deferred Retirement Option Program under the defined benefit plan and amended in 2000
to provide a defined contribution plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS members
effective July 1, 2002. This integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment
Plan. Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, established the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS)
Program, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, to assist retired members
of any State-administered retirement system in paying the costs of health insurance.
Essentially all regular employees of the Tax Collector are eligible to enroll as members of the
State-administered FRS. Provisions relating to the FRS are established by Chapters 121 and 122,
Florida Statutes; Chapter 112, Part IV, Florida Statutes; Chapter 238, Florida Statutes; and FRS
Rules, Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code; wherein eligibility, contributions, and benefits
are defined and described in detail. Such provisions may be amended at any time by further action
from the Florida Legislature. The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida
Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and consists of the two
cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs. A
comprehensive annual financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements,
required supplementary information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is available
from the Florida Department of Management Services’ Web site (www.dms.myflorida.com).

Florida Retirement System Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan, with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for eligible
employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other
classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in local
government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management level
positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are special risk employees, such as law enforcement
officers, meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan prior to July 1, 2011, vest at 6 years of creditable service and
employees enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, vest at 8 years of creditable service.
All vested members, enrolled prior to July 1, 2011, are eligible for normal retirement benefits at
age 62 or at any age after 30 years of service, except for members classified as special risk who are
eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 55 or at any age after 25 years of service. All
members enrolled in the FRS Plan on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal
retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service, except for members
classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or at any age
after 30 years of service. Employees enrolled in the FRS Plan may include up to 4 years of credit
for military service toward creditable service. The FRS Plan also includes an early retirement
provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for each year a member retires before his or her
normal retirement date. The FRS Plan provides retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual
cost-of-living adjustments to eligible participants.

6. Pension Plans (continued)
DROP, subject to provisions of Section 121.091, Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for
normal retirement under the FRS Plan to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while
continuing employment with an FRS participating employer. An employee may participate in
DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate, except that certain
instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months. During the period of DROP
participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. The
net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP participants, as these members are
considered retired and are not accruing additional pension benefits.
Benefits Provided
Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final
compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of the
average final compensation. For members initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, the average final
compensation is the average of the 5 highest fiscal years’ earnings; for members initially enrolled
on or after July 1, 2011, the average final compensation is the average of the 8 highest fiscal years’
earnings. The total percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total
value of all service, which is based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the
service credit was earned. Members are eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and
survivors’ benefits.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual
cost-of-living adjustment is 3 percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1,
2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated
cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3 percent
determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at
retirement multiplied by 3 percent. FRS Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011,
will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of FRS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide
statements of the County.

Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program
Plan Description
The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be
amended by the Florida Legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees
of State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered
by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement.
Benefits Provided
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS
payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a
minimum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month, pursuant to
Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS Plan benefit, a retiree under a
State-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may
include Medicare.
Detailed information about the County’s proportionate share of HIS’s net pension liability,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense are reported in the government-wide
statements of the County.
FRS Investment Plan
The Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the defined contribution plan
officially titled the FRS Investment Plan (Investment Plan). The Investment Plan is reported in the
SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.

FRS Investment Plan (continued)
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate
in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Tax Collector employees
participating in DROP are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and
employee contributions, including amounts contributed to individual member’s accounts, are
defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds.
Benefit terms, including contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and
may be amended by the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same
employer and employee contribution rates that are based on salary and membership class (Regular
Class, Elected County Officers, etc.), as the FRS defined benefit plan. Contributions are directed to
individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account
balances among various approved investment choices. Costs of administering plan, including the
FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of 0.06 percent of
payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members.
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are
vested after 1 year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an
accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is
transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for FRS
Pension Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be
vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. Non-vested employer contributions are
placed in a suspense account for up to 5 years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered
employment within the 5-year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the
employee does not return within the 5-year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated
account balance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the information for the amount of
forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these amounts, if
any, would be immaterial to the Tax Collector.

6. Pension Plans (continued)
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to
another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a
lump-sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these
options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the
FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly
benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account
balance for retirement income.
Contributions
Participating employer contributions are based upon statewide rates established by the State of
Florida. The Tax Collector’s contributions made to the plans during the years ended September 30,
2016, 2015, and 2014 were $606,522, $598,808, and $545,011, respectively, equal to the
actuarially determined contribution requirements for each year.
Additional information about pension plans can be found in the County’s comprehensive annual
financial report or County-wide financial statements.
7. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan
The Tax Collector follows GASB Statement 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by
Employers for Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions in accounting for postemployment
benefits.
Plan Description
The Tax Collector participates in a group health care plan that covers eligible retirees, and their
dependents, of the Board and all Constitutional Officers with the exception of the Sheriff. The
Board administers the plan and establishes the benefits. The healthcare plan does not issue a
stand-alone financial report; however additional actuarial information regarding the plan as a
whole is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements of Collier County, Florida.

7. Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits (OPEB) Plan (continued)
Under Florida Statutes, retirees originally hired prior to July 1, 2011 are eligible to participate in
the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 62 and have 6 years of
service or have at least 30 years of service. Employees hired on or after July 1, 2011 are eligible to
participate in the active medical plan by paying the active rate if they have attained age 65 and
have 8 years of service or have at least 33 years of service. Employees eligible for a reduced
benefit under the Florida Retirement System prior to age 62 (65 years of age if hired on or after
July 1, 2011) are also eligible to participate in the medical plan. In addition, the Tax Collector
provides a 100% subsidy for retirees between the ages of 55 and 65 with more than 10 years of
service and 800 hours of accumulated sick leave to remit at the time of retirement for employees
hired prior to June 1, 2015.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of the plan members and the employers are established and may be
amended by the County. The plans are financed by the participating agencies on a pay as you go
basis through the County’s self insurance internal service fund. Participating agencies contribute
an additional amount per each active employee to fund retiree health care. The Tax Collector had a
net OPEB obligation of $10,638 and $13,851 as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The annual other postemployment benefit cost is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB
Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid by on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a
period not to exceed thirty years. An actuarial valuation on the plan as a whole was performed in
October 1, 2015. The notes to the financial statements of the County disclose additional
information regarding the other postemployment benefit plan as a whole.

claims have not exceeded the insurance provided by third party carriers in any of the last three
years.
The County is self-insured for health claims covering all of its employees and their eligible
dependents. The County retains the first $400,000 per covered member and has purchased outside
excess coverage for all claims exceeding this amount. An actuarial valuation is performed each
year to estimate the amounts needed to pay prior and future claims and to establish reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Larry H. Ray
Tax Collector
Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the general fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Collier County, Florida Tax Collector (Tax Collector), as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Tax Collector’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 5, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Tax Collector’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector’s internal control.
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 material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in
internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have
not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Tax Collector’s financial statements are free from
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 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and
the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Tax Collector’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the Tax Collector’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
