WIPFLI auditor here to present the latest Financial Audit for fiscal year 2015

Matt Schuler, partner, and Sarah McKenna, manager, our WIPFLI auditors, were present to report onthe 2015 audit for year ended November 30, 2015. Mr. Schuler said they had gone over the financialstatements with the County Clerk, the Treasurer, and the Fees & Salaries Chair in detail, so he waspresenting an overview of the statements to the Board and invited questions.

Pages 1-3, the Independent Auditor's Report, was their actual opinion. Page 2 is where they statetheir opinion. It is an unqualified, unmodified opinion; it's a passing grade. Below the opinion, is an"Emphasis of Matter" paragraph which relates to the fact that the County implemented new pensionstandard reporting for our IMRF pension plans, and he will go over the impact as he moves forwardwith the statements. They do some additional compliance testing for our Federal dollars. The Countyreceived and expended $1.2 million of Federal awards, and they are required to do specific testing onthose dollars. They had an internal control question that they had to report for our WIC dollars; noquestion on cost, just some approval authority needs to be changed a little bit.

They are also required by statute to test our Circuit Clerk, and they are happy to report they had noissues so they had a clean opinion there, too.

Pages 4 through 14 is the Management Discussion and Analysis. Two years of information providessome good summarized information which he encouraged the Board to look over.

Page 15 is the Statement of Net Position which consolidates the County into a business stylereporting. This is where you start to see the impact of the new pension standards. There is a captionreferred to as deferred outflows of pension resources for $1,595,380. Under noncurrent liabilities,there's a line called net pension liability for $531,582. The impact of the new pension standard, whenyou net the $1,595,000 and the $531,000, was an increase to the net position so it was favorable thatthis standard was adopted for the County. He pointed out that overall the County has about$41,000,000 of total assets and deferred outflows. There is $14,000,000 of capital assetsand $17.6 million of cash and investments on hand at the end of the year. The number to look at isthe total net position; there are three captions of net position: net investment in capital assets,restricted, and unrestricted. Restricted means we have property tax levies where we use thoserevenues for a particular reason. We also have fees and fines that are in special revenue funds like ahighway fund or health department fund. We have $10.8 million of unrestricted compared to last yearof $9.1 million so that amount has improved in the current year.

Pages 17 and 18 report information by our major funds, which are: County General, IMRF, LiabilityInsurance, and County Highway, and then Other Governmental Funds. He said the key numbers onthis page were under Fund balances, which are: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, andunassigned. He said what we want to focus in on is, of the $18.2 million, $5.8 million is unassigned,which is really the General Fund balance at the end of the year.

Pages 20 and 21 are the income statements of the major funds. The net change in fund balance isthe income for each of those funds. Overall the County's funds grew $158,286. The General Fundincreased $740,541. There are transfers that come into the County's General Fund. Prior to thosetransfers the County General Fund decreased $804,000 but we had a significant transfer from publicsafety sales tax and the liability insurance fund.

Minutes Bureau County Board June 14, 2016

Bureau County Page 4 Updated 7/11/2016 11:43 AM

The key footnotes begin on page 34. He referred to Note 3 and said that every year the County'sdeposits are to be covered by FDIC or pledged collateral. At the end of the year the County had$1,018,000 that was not properly secured and collateralized. He explained that there was a timingdifference in monies being transferred by the County Treasurer's office from one bank account toanother. It was transferred the last day of the year so the bank was not able to catch up quickenough because they pledge collateral based on the day before, so they were a day late.

On page 37, Note 6, are the new disclosures on the County's pension plans. The County has three:

IMRF Regular, SLEP, and ECO. The first disclosure is for the Regular Plan. He said he wanted tofocus in on page 39 where there is a reconciliation of the regular plan's net pension liability. It showsthat at the beginning of the year, January 1, 2014, it was fully funded by $2.8 million. At the end ofthe year it was fully funded by $2.1 million. So overall the Regular plan is funded at 108%. He doesnot have a lot of counties that are fully funded of the nine counties that he audits.

On page 43 is the information for the SLEP plan. At the beginning of the year it had $787,000unfunded, and at the end of the year it was $998,000 unfunded. That plan is still funded at 92%.On page 46 is the information for the ECO plan. At the beginning of the year it was $1.8 million andat the end of the year it was $1.6 million. Overall that plan is funded at 73%. He pointed out that foreach plan, the middle column has the Plan Fiduciary net position which are the cash investments thatthe IMRF Board of Trustees is holding for Bureau County employees for those pension obligations.

When the three plans are added, IMRF has over $46,000,000 of cash and investments that they areholding for current workers, retirees, and those yet to vest.

The last item Mr. Schuler reviewed was on page 56, which is the County General Fund, and what itreports is overall what we anticipated the County General Fund to do versus what actually happened.

It was anticipated the County General Fund would increase, after all the transfers, by $695,000. Itactually increased by $753,000 in the current year. A lot of it has to do with expenditures being less.

We spent $652,000 less than what we had anticipated. Mrs. Entwhistle had distributed a one-pagesummary handout which gives some five-year information. The thing to point out is that things arevery comparable on a five-year basis. He said there are three lines at the very end which include theGeneral Fund Revenues, and the General Fund Expenditures. He said they could see how they havechanged over the past five years. The revenues in the General Fund have only increased 4% overthe five-year time frame. Expenditures have increased 13% so it is requiring more transfers to comein from the public safety sales tax and the liability insurance fund as the revenues have stayed prettyflat over the five-year time frame.It was asked how the ECO plan compared to other counties at 73%. Mr. Schuler said that is thelowest funded percentage of the counties he works on.
