The Citizens of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland
FORMAL TRANSMITTAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
State law requires that all general-purpose governments publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and audited in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that
requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2019.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of Queen Anne’s County. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in the report. To
provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, the management of Queen Anne’s County has established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse
and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements in conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their
benefits, Queen Anne’s County’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide a reasonable,
rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert
that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements have been audited by TGM Group LLC, a firm of licensed certified public
accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of Queen Anne’s
County, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involves examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The
independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that
Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, are fairly presented in conformity with
GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County is part of a broader, federally mandated, “Single
Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements
require the auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s
internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements
involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in Queen Anne’s County’s separately issued Single
Audit report.
____________________________ ___________________________

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis, entitled Management’s
Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be
read in conjunction with it. Queen Anne’s County’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the
independent auditor.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
Queen Anne’s County is situated on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It is bordered to the north by Kent County, to
the east by the State of Delaware, to the south by Caroline and Talbot counties, and to the west by the Chesapeake
Bay. Access to the western shore of Maryland is provided by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The County is 373 square
miles in area and has approximately 50,750 citizens. The County seat is located in Centreville. The County
Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County are empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties
located within its boundaries.
Queen Anne’s County was formed in 1706 and is governed by a five-member Board of County Commissioners.
County code provides that one Commissioner be elected purely at large; the remaining four Commissioners must
reside in specific districts, but are elected at large. The Commissioners operate under Maryland’s Code Home Rule
form of government. Both the executive and legislative functions of the County are vested with the Board of County
Commissioners.
Queen Anne’s County provides a full range of services including public safety (police, volunteer fire protection,
emergency services, detention center, and animal control), highways and streets, solid waste, planning and zoning,
economic development, culture and recreation, education, libraries, and general administrative services. In
conjunction with the State, the County also operates services related to general community health and social services.
In addition, the County operates a water and wastewater utility, an airport, a golf course, and public landings and
marinas.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the County’s financial and budgetary controls to ensure compliance
with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriation resolution approved by the County Commissioners. The
County budget is comprised of the budget message, current revenue and expense budgets and the capital budget and
capital program. Activities of the general fund, certain special revenue funds, and the enterprise funds are included in
the current budget.
The current operating budget includes appropriations for the full range of basic services. These services include
county administration, public safety, education, public works, community services, parks, debt and other agencies.
The capital budget includes funds to construct major governmental facilities such as the new County Courthouse,
roads, schools, and water and sewer infrastructure. Capital projects usually take more than a year to complete, unlike
the operating budget which covers only a year.
The budget process begins each fall when the County departments receive budget preparation instructions for the
capital budget which is then followed by instructions for the operating budget. The budget preparation is directed by
the Director of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology. After a thorough review of the departmental requests,
a County Administrator’s proposed budget is submitted to the County Commissioners in March. The County
Commissioners then conduct a series of public hearings and work sessions to review the proposed budget. After its
review, the County Commissioners finalize the budget and set tax rates, fees and charges needed to generate enough
revenue to balance the budget. The budget must be adopted by the County Commissioners on or before the last day of
the month of the fiscal year currently ending, although the Commissioners typically adopt the budget at the end of
May.
The Office of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology is responsible for budgetary control. The appropriated
budgets are prepared at the fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., Detention Center) level.
Expenditures/expenses may not legally exceed appropriations, based on the level at which they were adopted. For the
General Fund, annual expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the departmental level. For all other Governmental
Funds, for which annual budgets are adopted, expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the fund level. Budgets for
-2-

the General Capital Projects Fund and the Roads Capital Projects Fund reflect multi-year appropriations at the
individual project level.
Department Heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department of up to $10,000 with the approval of
the County Administrator. Transfers of appropriations or appropriation of new revenues in excess of $10,000 require
the approval of the County Commissioners. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this report for individual
governmental funds for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. The budget comparisons for the
general fund are presented as part of the Required Supplementary Information portion of this report. For non-major
funds with appropriated annual budgets, budget to actual comparisons are presented in the Supplementary
Information subsection of this report.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND CONDITION
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the
broader perspective of the specific environment within which Queen Anne’s County operates.
The unemployment rate for Queen Anne’s County is typically below the state and national averages, as shown in the
chart below. The June 2019 rate for the County was 3.4%, compared to the state’s rate of 3.9% and the U.S.’s rate of
3.7%. The 2019 average rate for the County was 3.2%.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The local employment base is somewhat limited and centers on several stable manufacturers, as well as the
agriculture, maritime, construction, retail, leisure, and hospitality industries. The three largest employers are
governmental units, including the County, the Board of Education, and Chesapeake College. There is a small, but
growing, base of specialty manufacturers. In addition, the County’s proximity to the Western Shore enables about
60% of the workforce to commute to locations outside the County, primarily to higher paying jobs in the Baltimore
and Washington areas.
Property, income, recordation, and transfer tax revenue all increased when comparing current year to prior year for
governmental funds. Property taxes increased in fiscal year 2019 by 3.9% to $70.6 million due to an increase in
assessable base. Property tax revenue is projected to decrease by 0.4% into fiscal year 2020 with revenue projected to
be approximately $283 thousand below the 2019 fiscal year level. The reason for the decrease is fiscal year 2020 had
a slight decrease in the assessable base. Local income tax is the County’s other main revenue source. Income tax
collections increased by 6.7% in fiscal year 2019, from $51.8 million in fiscal year 2018 to $55.3 million in fiscal
year 2019 as a result of increased employment and wage gains.
-3-

Recordation tax improved in fiscal year 2019 with an increase of 4.6% over fiscal year 2018, from $5.7 million in
fiscal year 2018 to $6.0 million in fiscal year 2019. In addition to an increase in recordation tax revenue, the transfer
tax revenue also increased in fiscal year 2019 by 4.8%, from $2.0 million in fiscal year 2018 to $2.1 million in fiscal
year 2019. Both the recordation and transfer tax revenue increases are a direct result of the continued improvement in
the housing market and recent development in the County.
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Rainy Day Fund – Ordinance No. 12-21 was adopted in January 2013 for the purpose of establishing and
maintaining a Rainy Day Fund for contingencies of an emergency nature; requiring annual reports on such fund
balance; providing for the appropriation of such funds to meet emergency needs; and requiring surplus revenues be
used to maintain the Rainy Day Fund at a set minimum amount. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, County Ordinance
No. 16-24 changed the minimum amount of the rainy day fund to 8% (previously 7%) of the following year’s
budgeted general fund operating revenues, as recommended by the Spending Affordability Committee. The County
funded the Rainy Day Fund with the required amount of $11,420,069 in fiscal year 2019.
Revenue Stabilization Fund (Previously “Special Fund”) – Resolution No. 14-05 was adopted in March 2014 for the
purpose of establishing and maintaining a Special Fund to set aside certain general funds of the County for certain
unanticipated projects, initiatives, and other one-time expenses. Resolution No. 16-99 was adopted in December 2016
for the purpose of renaming the “Special Fund” to the Revenue Stabilization Fund and revising the maximum amount
of such fund. The maximum amount of the Revenue Stabilization Fund shall not exceed 5% of budgeted general fund
operating revenues and the transfer to the General Fund shall only be made after the requirements of the Rainy Day
Fund have been met. The County funded the Revenue Stabilization Fund with $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2019. The
current balance of the Revenue Stabilization Fund is $6,000,000.
Spending Affordability Committee – Ordinance No. 15-11 was adopted in November 2015 for the purpose of
establishing a committee to provide recommendations and projections for the upcoming budget year. Specifically, the
Committee is charged to review in detail the status and projections of revenues and expenditures for the County for
the next budget year and subsequent five years; to review future County revenue levels and consider the impact of
economic factors such as changes in personal income and assessable base growth; and to review future expenditure
levels with consideration of County long-term obligations and any pressure for growth in costs.
The Committee’s recommendations help determine general expenditure guidelines based on projected revenue, and
the amount of new County debt authorization for the upcoming fiscal year. The Committee recommends policy
changes primarily regarding budgeting, debt, and fund balance. This Committee also assesses the County’s ability to
repay bond debt, determines debt capacity using several debt measures, and provides general guidance regarding
future capital budgets.
Capital Projects - The County Commissioners’ six-year capital program, starting with fiscal year 2020, prioritizes
capital expenditures over these years to meet the County’s needs. The six-year program totals $193.3 million and
includes: $40.7 million for various Sanitary District projects (includes the Southern Kent Island Sewer Service at
$28.6 million); $35.2 million for various school related projects (includes $19.3 million for the Centreville Middle
School renovation); $25.0 million for Roads Board capital projects (includes $12.0 million for asphalt overlays);
$23.4 million for the Detention Center (almost entirely for the Detention Center renovation); $13.0 million for Parks;
$12.2 million for the Department of Emergency Services; $8.7 million for the Bay Bridge Airport; $8.4 million for
Public Library System (Kent Island Library Expansion); and $7.4 million for Administration and General Services.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Bond Ratings - The financial policies and management practices of Queen Anne’s County were recognized by three
major rating agencies. Fitch Rating Service issued an AAA bond rating, Moody’s issued a rating of Aa1, and
Standard & Poor’s also issued a AAA rating.
Debt Management Policy – In calendar year 2013, the County adopted Resolution 13-04, which revised the
County’s Local Debt Policy. In accordance with this policy, the Director of Budget, Finance, and Information
Technology is responsible for following certain procedures to ensure that debt limits established by the Policy are not
-4-

exceeded. A key element of the Policy is that prior to the issuance of any new bonded indebtedness, the Director
must certify that existing and new General Obligation Debt will not exceed (1) 2.5% of the total taxable assessable
base and (2) $3,000 per capita. This policy also stipulates that although there is some flexibility as to the acceptable
percentage of debt service to general fund expenditures, and no absolute limit has been established by the rating
agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association, anything above 12% of total general fund expenditures
would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service. In addition to the debt management policy, the Spending
Affordability Committee recommended that the limit of debt service to general fund expenditures should be limited to
10% and the County Commissioners have adopted that as a limit.
For fiscal year 2019, Queen Anne’s County general obligation debt was 1.7% of the total taxable assessable base, and
the per capita debt measurement was $2,733. The debt service was 9.0% of the general fund expenditures for the year.
All thresholds are well below the policy limits.
Fund Balance Policy – Resolution 12-21 was adopted in calendar year 2012 for the purpose of establishing criteria
in which year end fund balances can be used. There are five purposes for which using fund balance is permitted: (1)
paygo for items/projects in the County Capital Improvement Plan, (2) as a supplement to the Rainy Day Fund if it is
underfunded, (3) to pay down existing debt, (4) reserved for future non-operating expenses related to fiscal
emergencies, and (5) as one time non-recurring expenditures of capital or non-capital items.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for its comprehensive annual
financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious
national award that recognizes conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government
financial reports. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the County must publish an easily readable
and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. Queen Anne’s County, Maryland has received a
Certificate of Achievement for the last twenty consecutive years (fiscal years 1999-2018). We believe our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements,
and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire
staff of the finance office. Each member of the department has my sincere appreciation for the contributions made in
preparation of this report. Special recognition is given to members of the Audit Team: Nichole Hepfer, who is the
principal staff member responsible for preparing the report, Justine Franzen, Teresa Ward, and Karen Rodgers. Their
dedication and professionalism in the preparation of Queen Anne’s County financial statements has resulted in
consistently accurate and transparent financial reporting.
Respectfully submitted,
Jonathan R. Seeman

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
County Commissioners of
Queen Anne’s County
Centreville, Maryland
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 Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the “County”) as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
County’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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not
audit the component unit financial statements of the Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar
as it relates to the amounts included for the Queen Anne’s County Free Library, is based solely upon the
reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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.
-11-

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, 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 Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, as of June 30,
2019, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Emphasis of Matter
During the year ended June 30, 2019, the County had a prior period restatement related to the LOSAP
Plan. See Note 15 and 20 to the financial statements. 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 management’s
discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, 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 and other auditors 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 introductory section, other supplementary
information, and statistical section, 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 other supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates 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 other
-12-

supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections 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 them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
This section of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County)
presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Queen Anne’s County Government for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. We encourage readers to consider the discussion and analysis along with
the other information in this report, including the transmittal letter, basic financial statements, and the notes to
the financial statements.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Queen Anne’s County Government’s
basic financial statements. The County’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Fund Financial Statements
Notes to the Financial Statements
This report also contains other required and non-required supplementary information in addition to the basic
financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide financial statements: The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of Queen Anne’s County Government’s finances, in a manner comparable to a
private sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of Queen Anne’s County Government’s assets and
liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in
net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position and condition of Queen Anne’s
County Government is improving or declining.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported
in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected
taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of Queen Anne’s County Government
that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges
(business-type activities).
The governmental activities of Queen Anne’s County Government include general government, public safety,
public works, health, social services, education, library, conservation of natural resources, and economic and
community development. The business-type activities of Queen Anne’s County Government include water
and sewer services, an airport, a golf course, and public landings and marinas.
The government-wide financial statements include not only Queen Anne’s County Government itself (known
as the primary government), but also legally separate component units. Queen Anne’s County Government
has the following discretely presented component units: Queen Anne’s County Board of Education and the
Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Financial information for these component units is reported separately
from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. The government-wide financial
statements can be found in the basic financial statements section of this report.

Fund Financial Statements: A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Queen Anne’s County Government,
like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of Queen Anne’s County Government can be divided into
three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Fund financial statements can
be found throughout this report, as listed in the table of contents.
Governmental funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a
government’s near term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it
is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government’s near term financing decisions. Both the balance sheet
and the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for governmental funds provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These
two reconciliations begin with governmental fund financial data; describe all transactions that are added or
subtracted to yield governmental activities; and end with governmental activities financial data. These
reconciliations can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.
Queen Anne’s County maintains three types of governmental funds: the general fund, a variety of special
revenue funds, and five capital project funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund
balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
for all governmental funds. Fund type is identified for each fund.
Queen Anne’s County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund (includes the roads board);
school, fire, and parks impact fee capital projects funds; and the following special revenue funds: department
of aging, housing and community services, grants fund, economic development incentive, BRIDGE fund,
community partnerships for children, law library, inmate welfare, agricultural transfer, rural legacy, dredging
special assessments, and Kent Narrows. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each of
these funds, which can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.
Proprietary funds: Queen Anne’s County maintains enterprise funds to report the same functions presented as
business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Queen Anne’s County Government uses
enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer services, airport, golf course, and public landings and
marinas. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found within this report, as listed in the table
of contents.
Fiduciary funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of those funds are not available to support Queen Anne’s County Government’s own programs. The
County acts as a fiduciary for two trust and five agency funds. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds except that the agency funds report only assets and liabilities and do
not report net assets or changes therein. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found within this
report, as listed in the table of contents.
Notes to the financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found within this report, as listed in the table of contents.

Total Net Position $ 72,468,057 $ 65,606,514 $ 98,238,819 $ 92,905,421 $ 170,706,876 $ 158,511,935
* Restated for prior period adjustment (see Note 20).
The County’s total current and other assets increased by $24.3 million, or 19.1 percent, to $151.5 million. The
County’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its total liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of fiscal year 2019 by $170.7 million.
Net position is divided into three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted amounts; and
unrestricted amounts. By far the largest portion, $201.1 million, of the County’s total net position reflects its
investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure), less
any related and outstanding debt used to construct or acquire those assets. The County uses these capital assets
to provide services to citizens; consequently, they are not available for future spending. Although the
County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay the debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be
used to liquidate these liabilities.
It is important to note that, although counties in the State of Maryland issue debt for the construction of
schools, the school buildings are owned by each county’s Board of Education. Ownership reverts to the
county government only if the local Board determines a building is no longer needed for educational purposes.
Therefore, while the County’s financial statements include outstanding debt related to Board of Education
capital assets, those statements do not include the capital assets funded by the debt. Debt outstanding for the
Board of Education amounted to $58.0 million at June 30, 2019. Absent the effect of this relationship, the
County would have reported a positive unrestricted amount of $6.5 million on its government-wide financial
statements, rather than the negative unrestricted net assets of $51.5 million reported herein. For a multi-year
view of this calculation, see the Footnote presented in Table 1 of the Statistical Section.
An additional $21.2 million of the County’s total net position represents resources that are subject to
restrictions on how they may be used. For governmental activities, this amount includes: $11.8 million related
to general government services; $3.2 million for economic/community development; $3.2 million for public
safety; and $725 thousand for conservation of natural resources. For business-type activities, this amount
includes $1.3 million restricted to meet Sanitary District debt covenants and $975 thousand for capital projects.
At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government reports positive balances in two out of
three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental
activities. Business-type activities reports positive balances in all net position categories.

 Taxes comprise the largest source of County revenue, totaling $137.3 million (87.8 percent) of total
revenue for fiscal year 2019. Of that amount, property and local income tax together yielded $128.4
million (82.1 percent) of all revenue. Each County sets its own property and income tax rates, within
parameters established by the State. For fiscal year 2019, the County’s property tax rate remained
constant at $.8471 per $100 of assessed value of real property, based on full cash value of that
property. The County’s local income tax rate was set at 3.2 percent, effective January 1, 2012 and
thereafter. There is no local sales tax in the State of Maryland.
 Charges for services, totaling $6.5 million, reflect fees charged to County citizens. These primarily
support public works ($1.8 million or 27.4 percent), general government ($1.8 million or 27.2
percent), public safety ($1.4 million or 21.8 percent), and education ($1.3 million or 20.3 percent).
 Operating grants and contributions, totaling $5.5 million, reflect grants from Federal and State
agencies that support specific County programs. Programs that benefitted the most were: social
services ($2.1 million or 38.9 percent), public safety ($1.2 million or 21.3 percent), and public works
($1.2 million or 21.2 percent).
 Capital grants and contributions, totaling $4.3 million, reflect contributions from Federal and State
agencies, as well as developers. Conservation of natural resources benefits the most from capital
grants and contributions during the year ($2.1 million or 48.7 percent). Public Works also benefited
from capital grants and contributions during the year ($1.4 million or 31.1 percent).

Of the total cost of $148.2 million for governmental activities, $16.3 million (11.0 percent), of those costs were
covered by program-related revenues paid by individuals and external governmental entities. Of these outside
entities, individuals who benefited directly from County programs were charged user fees of $6.5 million,
while governments and other organizations that benefited indirectly from these programs contributed operating
grants of $5.5 million and capital grants of $4.3 million.
County taxpayers paid for most of the remaining $131.9 million in net program costs, through a variety of
County taxes, for a total of $137.3 million. Net program costs of services provided to the public, in order of
net cost, were: $61.3 million for education; $28.5 million for public safety; $14.8 million for public works;
$13.5 million for general government; $3.4 million for social services; $1.6 million for economic and
community development; $357 thousand for conservation of natural resources; and $8.4 million for other
services. See Changes in Net Position and General Fund Budgetary Highlights for further details.

Changes in net position: Government-wide revenues, less expenses, plus/minus transfers in/out, yield changes
in net position. During fiscal year 2019, governmental activities increased the County’s net position overall by
$6.9 million, compared to an increase of $7.2 million in fiscal year 2018. The following discussion explains
changes in net position relative to the prior fiscal year.
Revenues for governmental activities increased by $7.7 million (5.2 percent). The following key revenues
changed, when compared to the prior fiscal year:
 Property taxes increased by $3.0 million (4.3 percent), from $67.7 million in fiscal year 2018 to $70.7
million in fiscal year 2019 due to an increase in property assessments.
 Income taxes increased by $2.5 million (4.6 percent), from $55.2 million in fiscal year 2018 to $57.7
million in fiscal year 2019. This increase was the result of increased receipts from the State for the
County’s portion of the income tax collections.
 Capital grants and contributions increased by $1.3 million (43.7 percent), from $3.0 million in fiscal
year 2018 to $4.3 million in fiscal year 2019. The key factor for this change is that public works
increased by $1.1 million due to grant funding received in fiscal year 2019 for the Cross County
Connector Trail.
Expenses for governmental activities increased by $7.0 million (4.9 percent) and transfers out to business-type
activities increased by $1.2 million. Key positive and negative expense changes, in order of relative
importance, are:
 Public Safety increased by $4.1 million (15.1 percent). Almost half of the increase resulted from an
increase of $2.0 million in the pension funding as a result of the pension liability recorded at the
County level, which increased in fiscal year 2019. In addition, Emergency Services increased by $736
thousand, the Sheriff’s Office increased by $434 thousand, and Volunteer Fire and Rescue Services
increased by $351 thousand.
 Public Works increased by $1.5 million (8.2 percent). Of the total increase, $684 thousand was the
result of an increase in the pension expense associated with public works. There was also an expense
of $498 thousand in fiscal year related to the turf fields that the County installed at the two high
schools, of which there was no expense in fiscal year 2018. There were additional increases of $250
thousand related to paving projects and $212 thousand for preventative maintenance.
 General Government increased by $660 thousand (4.2 percent), mainly as a result of an increase of
$640 thousand in the pension expense associated with general government.
 Transfers out to business-type activities increased by $1.2 million due to a transfer of $975 thousand
from the General Capital Projects Fund to the Sanitary District. These funds were collected in fiscal
year 2018 for developer contributed capital for the Four Seasons development and recorded in the
General Capital Projects Fund. During fiscal year 2019, the funds were transferred from the General
Capital Projects Fund to Sanitary, which is where the funds will be spent going forward.

Business-type activities increased the County’s net position altogether by $5.3 million in fiscal year 2019,
which is $3.8 million more than the the prior year’s increase of $1.6 million. The fiscal year 2019 change in
net position resulted primarily from:
 Operating revenues before transfers increased by $2.8 million (17.7 percent), from $15.8 million in
fiscal year 2018 to $18.6 million in fiscal year 2019, for all business-type activities. Charges for
services increased by $1.3 million due to increased revenue in Sanitary. Operating grants and
contributions increased by $1.9 million. The increase can be broken down as follows: $430 thousand
increase in Sanitary, $664 thousand increase in the Bay Bridge Airport and $784 thousand increase in
Public Landings. Capital grants and contributions decreased $571 thousand primarily due to a
decrease in funding for the Four Seasons development, due to the timing of the development.
 Transfers in to business-type activities increased by $1.2 million, mainly due to a transfer of $975
thousand from the General Capital Projects Fund to the Sanitary District, as mentioned above in the
section on governmental expenses.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, Queen Anne’s County Government uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance related legal requirements. Detailed financial data based on the government’s fund
accounting can be found in the governmental fund statements in this report.
Governmental Funds: The focus of Queen Anne’s County Government’s governmental funds is to provide
information on near term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful
in assessing Queen Anne’s County Government’s near term financing requirements. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end
of a fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $89.7 million, compared to $81.2 million for the prior year. Approximately
13.2 percent of this total ($11.8 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending.
The total unassigned fund balance of $11.8 million is comprised of $11.9 million of positive unassigned fund
balance for the general fund, reduced by negative unassigned fund balances of $28 thousand in the non-major
governmental funds. Additional detail on the negative unassigned balances can be found in Note 16 of this
report.
The nonspendable fund balance of $1.6 million, at 1.8 percent of the total fund balance, is not available for
spending and includes amounts related to inventory and loans receivable. Restricted fund balance of $27.0
million (30.1 percent) includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external
sources or legal restrictions. Included in the restricted fund balance is $11.4 million for the rainy day fund.
Committed fund balance of $24.5 million (27.3 percent) represents those amounts that can be used only for the
specific purposes of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority. Included in the committed
fund balance is $6.0 million for the revenue stabilization fund.
The remaining $24.8 million of fund balance (27.6 percent) constitutes assigned fund balances. These
amounts are intended to be used by the government for the specific purposes of each fund.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of Queen Anne’s County Government. At the end of the current
fiscal year, the General Fund had a total fund balance of $35.1 million, which is an increase of $3.0 million
from the fiscal year 2018 balance of $32.1 million.
Of the total $35.1 million in fund balance, $11.9 million is unassigned, meaning that there are no constraints
on how the funds can be spent. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, County Ordinance No. 16-24 changed the
minimum amount of the rainy day fund to 8.0 percent (previously 7.0 percent) of budgeted general fund
operating revenues as recommended by the Spending Affordability Committee. As a result of that Ordinance,
$11.4 million of rainy day funds are included in the General Fund’s restricted fund balance of $14.4 million for
fiscal year 2019. The remaining fund balance is comprised of $1.6 million in nonspendable, $6.0 million in
committed, and $1.2 million of assigned.
For further explanations of General Fund revenues and expenditures, see the General Fund Budgetary
Highlights section of this MD&A.
The General Capital Projects Fund accounts for all capital projects related to governmental funds, except those
accounted for in the Roads Capital Projects Fund, which is discussed below.
As of June 30, 2019, the General Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $31.2 million, compared to
$26.6 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $31.2 million in total fund balance is comprised of $8.3
million in restricted fund balance, mainly for unspent bond proceeds, $2.3 million of fund balance committed
for specific projects, and $20.6 million of assigned fund balance.
-23-

The Roads Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources used for the construction of County Road
infrastructure, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets.
As of June 30, 2019, the Roads Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $3.0 million, compared to
$2.7 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Of this total $3.0 million fund balance, $2.4 million has been
assigned to fund ongoing projects, while $574 thousand has been contributed by local developers and is
committed to fund specific infrastructure improvements.
Proprietary funds: Queen Anne’s County Government’s enterprise fund statements provide the same type of
information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Also, due to/due from
other funds are combined in the government-wide statements and reported as Internal Balances between
governmental and business-type activities, which net to zero.
Total unrestricted net position of the Sanitary District Enterprise Funds at the end of fiscal year 2019
amounted to $11.8 million, which is $2.4 million more than the prior year. Net investment in capital assets
also increased by $1.6 million. In addition, the restricted amount for capital projects increased by $975
thousand, due to the Four Seasons development.
Total net position of the Sanitary District amounted to $76.9 million at the end of fiscal year 2019, which
increased by $5.2 million when compared to the prior year.
The unrestricted net position of the Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund at year end amounted to negative $1.4
million compared to a negative $1.6 million at the end of the prior fiscal year, reflecting an increase of $182
thousand. The investment in capital assets for the Bay Bridge Airport changed slightly, with a decrease of $45
thousand in the current fiscal year.
Total net position of the Bay Bridge Airport amounted to $15.2 million at the end of fiscal year 2019, which is
an increase of $137 thousand from the prior year amount of $15.0 million.
A discussion of Enterprise Fund capital assets and long-term debt can be found in those sections presented
later in this MD&A.
General Fund Budgetary Comparisons
The County adopts an operating budget for the General Fund as of July 1 each year and amends that budget
throughout the year in response to actual expenditures. The Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balance – Budget and Actual can be found as part of Required Supplemental Information, which is
located after the Notes. The Schedule reports original and final budgets, as well as the variance between actual
expenditures and final budgets.
Original to Final Budget Comparisons: The final expenditure budget for the General Fund, including transfers
out, totaled $145.8 million. Amendments increased spending authority by $7.7 million during fiscal year
2019, when compared to the original budget of $138.1 million.
Major components of these expenditure budget increases are as follows:
 Budgeted Transfers Out to General Capital Projects increased by $7.2 million during the year. There
are several capital projects in which the County plans to move aggressively on, and will rely on fund
balance available in the General Capital Projects fund to cover a portion of the costs.
 Budgeted Public Safety increased by $271 thousand, due to miscellaneous increases in the Sheriff’s
Office, the Detention Center, and Emergency Services.
Budget to Actual Comparisons: Actual revenues for the General Fund, including other financing sources and
before appropriated fund balance were less than final budgetary estimates by $969 thousand.
-24-

Actual expenditures, and other financing uses, were less than final budgetary appropriations by $4.7 million.
The net effect of these two disparities was a positive variance of actual to final budget of $3.7 million.
The most noteworthy differences between final budgeted amounts and actual amounts are summarized as
follows:
Revenues:
 Intergovernmental revenue was $178 thousand less than the final budget (8.7 percent) due to the
revenue of several grants being less than the budgeted amounts.
 Transfers In were $1.1 million less than the final budget (100 percent), as a result of transfer in from
School Impact fees not being made in the fiscal year. Management determined that it was more
advantageous to leave the funds in the Impact Fee Fund in anticipation of future Board of Education
projects.
Expenditures:
 Final Budgeted Salaries and Benefits were $38.6 million for the year, while actual costs were $36.9
million. They were underspent at year-end by $1.7 million (4.4 percent). The Sheriff’s Office was
underspent by $774 thousand, Parks department by $399 thousand, Roads department by $301
thousand, Engineering by $256 thousand, and the Detention Center by $226 thousand. This was due to
the number of vacant positions during the fiscal year and the lapsed funds associated with the
recruitment of staff.
 Final Budgeted Other Operating Charges were $107.2 million for the year, while actual costs were
$104.2 million. These costs were lower than budget at year end by $3.0 million (2.8 percent).
Operating Charges include contracted services, supplies, other charges, debt service, and transfers out.
o Contracted Services were underspent by $501 thousand, with the largest savings realized by
the Detention Center ($218 thousand), Information Technology ($90 thousand), and
Contingency ($73 thousand).
o Supplies were underspent by $402 thousand, largely due to savings by Roads ($334 thousand)
and Solid Waste ($80 thousand).
o Other Charges were underspent by $1.2 million. Of this amount, the health department
realized savings of $505 thousand, which represents the unspent portion of their allocation
that was returned to the County in fiscal year 2019. Additional savings were realized by
Contingency ($226 thousand), Intergovernmental ($167 thousand), and Non-Departmental
($129 thousand). The remaining savings for other charges were spread throughout the
General Fund.
o Debt Service was underspent by $127 thousand, which resulted from estimating the debt
service payments for the recent bonds before the final schedules were available.
o Transfers Out were underspent by $764 thousand, due to savings realized by the Department
of Aging ($415 thousand), Housing and Community Services ($105 thousand) and the Golf
Course Enterprise Fund ($121 thousand), which allowed these departments to forgo this
portion of their appropriation.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital assets: Queen Anne’s County Government’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and
business-type activities as of June 30, 2019 amounted to $299.7 million (net of accumulated depreciation).

TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
JUNE 30, 2019
Total Fund Balance - Governmental Funds $ 89,716,958
Amounts reported for Governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position
are different because:

Although Queen Anne's County will submit the payments to the lender for the bonds, there are five
Counties total that will share the expense of the debt service for the Chesapeake College project.
A receivable is booked in Government-Wide in order to offset the debt recorded on the books related
to the portion of the Chesapeake College project that the other Counties are responsible for.
ADD Accounts Receivable - Related to Chesapeake College Debt 3,921,036
A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds.
As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement
grant, which offsets the County's debt service for interest expense. At year end, a receivable
is booked for the interest reimbursement due, but not yet received, which relates to the
interest expense not paid yet.
ADD Bond Interest Reimbursement Receivable - Build America Bond 7 7,847

QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019
Change in Fund Balances - Total governmental funds, per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds $ 8 ,497,706
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Capital outlay expenditures are reported in Governmental Funds during the year. However, in the Statement
of Activities, costs for capital asset purchases are allocated over the estimated useful lives of those assets and reported as depreciation
expense over a number of years. Therefore, the change in assets differs from the change in fund balance by the amount of capital asset
purchases that will be capitalized and depreciated over a number of years, less the offsetting depreciation expense for the current year.
Proceeds received on disposal of capital assets are reported in Governmental Funds as current financial
resources. In the Statement of Activities, only the gain or (loss) realized on disposal of capital assets is reported. Thus, the change in net assets
differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of capital assets sold, net of accumulated depreciation (i.e., book value). In addition,
developer contributions of capital assets (primarily infrastructure) are not reported in Governmental Funds because they do not represent current
financial resources available to cover this year's expenditures. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the capital assets received.
Donated Capital Assets are not reported in Governmental Funds because they are not current financial resources.
However, in the Statement of Activities, they are recognized as capital contributions and as capital assets.
The following is a summary of the net increase in capital assets, which is detailed in Note 6 - Capital Assets - Primary Government.
ADD capital assets acquired as capital outlay $ 174,625
ADD capital assets resulting from general capital projects 9,228,216
SUBTRACT book value of disposed capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation (870,759)
SUBTRACT current year depreciation expense (4,689,306)
Net Increase in Capital Assets 3 ,842,776
Receivables not included in the governmental funds because they relate to debt.
A portion of the County's 2014 Bond offering related to debt issued on behalf of Chesapeake College. Although Queen Anne's County
will submit the payments to the lender for the bonds, there are five Counties that will share the expense of the debt service for the
Chesapeake College project. A receivable is booked in Government-Wide in order to offset the debt recorded on the books related to the
portion of the Chesapeake College project that the other Counties are responsible for.
CHANGE in bond receivable related to 2014 bonds (188,656)
Liability for retirement incentive
As part of the retirement incentives offered in fiscal year 2018, retirees were given a certain period of health insurance
at no cost, rather than the normal premium. The maximum period of no cost health insurance was five years. The liability for the
benefit offered to the retirees is included in the government wide statements and adjusted each year until the benefit period is over.
CHANGE in liability for the retirement incentive 4 0,281
A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal
government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County’s debt service for interest expense. Therefore, at year end,
a receivable is booked for the interest reimbursement due, but not yet received.
CHANGE in bond interest reimbursement receivable - Build America Bond (4,558)
Revenues that are earned but not collected within sixty days after the end of the fiscal year are not considered to
be "available" to meet current cash requirements and are deferred in the Governmental Funds to the following year. However, these revenues
are recognized in the Statement of Activities. The amount by which this type of deferred inflows increased or (decreased) relative to the
prior year is as follows:
CHANGE in Property Tax Deferred Inflows 5 5,276
CHANGE in Income Tax Deferred Inflows 2 ,446,131
Issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, notes, and capital leases) provides current financial resources
to Governmental Funds, while repayment of principal due for long-term debt consumes current resources. In the Statement of Net Assets,
issuing debt increases long term liabilities, while repayment reduces those liabilities.
ADD retirements and repayments made on long term debt 8,913,361
SUBTRACT proceeds of debt (12,011,998)
SUBTRACT College reimbursement received (214,991)
ADD County's allocation to College for debt 60,504
SUBTRACT Deferred Refunding Costs (211,377)
(3,464,501)
Some accrued expenses, reported in the Statement of Activities, do not require the use of current financial
resources and are not reported as expenditures in the Governmental Funds.
CHANGE in:
Accrued Interest Payable (200,126)
Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation (2,271,062)
Net pension liability - Maryland State Pension (2,146,374)
Net LOSAP Liability 1 60,260
Accrued Compensated Absences (167,326)
Deferred outflow of resources - Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligations 1 ,246,929
Deferred outflow of resources - Maryland State Pension (see Note 12) (1,173,023)
Deferred outflow of resources - LOSAP 5 09,398
Deferred inflow of resources - Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligations (18,858)
Deferred inflow of resources - Maryland State Pension (see Note 12) 1 39,969
Deferred inflow of resources - LOSAP (442,699)
Change in Net Position - governmental activities, per Statement of Activities $ 6 ,861,543

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the County conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) applicable to local government entities. The following is a summary of significant policies.
A. REPORTING ENTITY
Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County) was founded in 1706. The County is governed by five Commissioners who are
elected to serve four-year terms. This board assumes responsibilities conferred upon them by the Maryland General Assembly under
Code Home Rule and provides the following services: public safety, public facility/infrastructure maintenance and improvements,
sanitation, health and social services, education, recreation and culture, library, conservation of natural resources, economic and
community development, and general administrative services.
As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the primary government and its component units, which are entities for
which the primary government is considered financially accountable. The decision to include a potential component unit in the
financial reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statements No. 14 and 39. Blended component units, although separate entities, are in substance, part of the government’s
operations. However, each discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial
statements (see note below for descriptions) to emphasize that it is legally separate from the government.
Blended Component Units
The Queen Anne’s County Sanitary District serves citizens of the government and is governed by a board comprised of the
government’s elected Commissioners. The rates for user charges and bond issuance authorizations are approved by the Board of
Commissioners and the legal liability for the general obligation portion of the District’s debt remains with the government. The
Sanitary District is reported as an enterprise fund.
The Queen Anne’s County Roads Board serves all the citizens of the government and is governed by a board comprised of the
government’s elected Commissioners. All operations of the Roads Board are approved by the Board of Commissioners and the legal
liability for any debt remains with the government. The Roads Operating Fund is included in with the General Fund.
Discretely Presented Component Units
Components units are legally separate entities that are included in the County’s reporting entity because of the significance of their
operating or financial relationships with the County. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the County’s
reporting entity include whether:
 the organization is legally separate
 the County Commissioners appoint a voting majority of the organization’s board
 the County Commissioners have the ability to impose their will on the organization
 the organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the County
 the organization is fiscally dependent on the County
Based on the application of these criteria, the following organizations are considered component units of Queen Anne’s County
Government. Their financial data is discretely presented in separate columns in the government-wide financial statements. Both
discretely presented component units have a June 30 year end.
The Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County is a five-member body responsible for the operation of Queen Anne’s County
Schools. Beginning with the November 2008 election, the members were elected by the County voters. The Board of Education is a
component unit of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland by virtue of the Board’s fiscal dependency on the County through the County’s
responsibility for levying taxes, issuing debt, and its budgetary control over the Board of Education.
The Queen Anne’s County Free Library is a component unit of the Queen Anne’s County Government by virtue of the Library’s
fiscal dependency on the County. The County levies taxes and approves the Library’s budget. The Library Board of Trustees
governs the Library. Vacancies on the Board of Trustees are filled by vote of the remaining members of that Board.

B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements report information on all of the non-
fiduciary activities of the Primary Government and its component units. Since, by definition, assets of fiduciary funds are held for the
benefit of a third party (other local governments, private parties, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the
County, these funds are not incorporated into the government-wide statements.
Interfund activity within the primary government’s governmental activities and business-type activities has been
eliminated from the government-wide statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process
of consolidation. Residual balances between the governmental and business-type categories are presented on the
Statement of Net Position as “Internal balances”.
Governmental activities of the Primary Government, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are
reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
Statement of Net Position – This statement is designed to display the financial position of the reporting entity as of year-end.
Governments report all capital assets, including infrastructure, in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and report
depreciation expense, the cost of “using up” capital assets, in the Statement of Activities. Net position is divided into three categories:
1) net investment in capital assets; 2) restricted amounts; and 3) unrestricted amounts. Net Investment in capital assets consists of
capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other
borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those capital assets. Restricted amounts are assets
for which constraints are placed due to restrictions that are either (1) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws
and regulations of the government, or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted
amounts consist of net assets that do not meet the definition of restricted or invested in capital assets.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Statement of Activities – This statement demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function for the fiscal year
are offset by program revenues. Therefore, this statement reflects both the gross and net costs per functional category (general
government; public safety; public works; health; social services; education; library; conservation of natural resources; and
economic/community development) that are otherwise supported by general revenues. Direct expenses (including depreciation) are
those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function and 2) grants and contributions that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. The operating grants and contributions
column includes operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants, while the capital grants and contributions
column reflects capital-specific grants. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general
revenues. The County does not allocate indirect expenses.
Fund Financial Statements – Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements.
In the fund financial statements, financial transactions and accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, fund balance/net assets, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.
Governmental Fund Budget-to-Actual Comparison Statements – Demonstrating compliance with the legally adopted budget is
an important component of government’s accountability to the public. The County provides a budget-to-actual comparison of the
General Fund as part of the required supplementary information section located after the Notes to the basic financial statements. A
budget-to-actual comparison is provided for the General Fund on a departmental level as required supplementary information, and
for all non-major governmental funds with legally adopted budgets in the supplementary information section.
The County and many other governments revise their original budgets over the course of the year for a variety of reasons; the
County’s amended budget is reflected in a separate column in the budget-to-actual comparison statements. Variances are calculated
based on final budgets.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Full Accrual Basis Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are
recognized as revenue in the year in which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Capital assets and related depreciation are recorded in these
statements, as well as debt, accrued compensated absences, other post-employment benefits, and other accruals.
Modified Accrual Basis Financial Statements – Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
(CONTINUED)
Revenues are recorded as soon as they are susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are both measurable and available). Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period, or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures are recorded only when payment has matured and is due. Similarly, expenditures related to claims, judgments,
compensated absences, and other post-employment benefits are recorded only to the extent that they are expected to be liquidated
with expendable available financial resources. Capital assets, and related depreciation, as well as long-term liabilities are not
recorded in these statements.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to income taxes (distributed by the State), property taxes, and inter-governmental
revenues other than grants, the County defines “available” as received within 60 days after year-end.
In the State of Maryland, the State has assumed responsibility for the collection of all income taxes and for distributing those
collections to the respective counties. The counties set their individual tax rates within limits provided by State law. However,
collection and pursuit of delinquent taxes are the responsibility of the State. The County records estimated receivables relating to
income taxes when the underlying income is earned. Amounts not received within 60 days are reported as deferred inflows of
resources. At year-end, deferred revenue relating to income taxes primarily includes the final fiscal year distribution (which is
normally received in September after the fiscal year-end) and amounts related to late filers, delinquent returns and audits, and
unallocated withholding, all of which are not received within the County’s availability period. Most deferred inflows are expected to
be received from the State within the next fiscal year; however, collections related to delinquent returns and audits as well as
unallocated withholding may not be remitted to the County for several years.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to operating and capital grants, which are classified with intergovernmental revenues in
the fund financial statements, the County records receivables when the applicable eligibility requirements including time requirements
are met. Related revenues are recognized to the extent that cash is expected to be received within one year of year-end. Resources
received before the eligibility requirements are met are reported as unearned revenue.
Licenses and permits, charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues (except earnings on investments) are generally recorded as
revenues when received in cash during the year. At year-end, receivables are recorded for significant amounts due. If such amounts
are received in cash after year-end within the County’s 60-day availability period, they are recognized as revenue. Benefit assessment
receivables not billed at year end are reported as deferred inflows of resources.
Fiduciary Funds – The County’s trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting, as is used by proprietary funds. Agency funds report only assets and liabilities; they do not report
changes in net position. Therefore, agency funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and
payables. Activity during the year is accounted for as additions to and deductions from asset and liability accounts (for Agency
Funds) and Net Position (for Private Purpose and Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Funds). Since fiduciary funds are, by their
very nature, independent of the County, they are omitted from all government-wide statements.
Financial Statement Presentation - The County reports the following major governmental and proprietary funds, as well as
fiduciary funds.

(CONTINUED)
General Fund – This fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all financial resources
except those required or recommended, by GAAP, to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital Projects Funds –
General Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
of major capital facilities, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed
from general governmental resources.
Roads Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the construction of County Road
infrastructure, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed from grants
received from State and Federal Governments, Highway User Tax funds, and general governmental resources.
Non-Major Governmental Funds – There are nineteen non-major governmental funds, which are used to account for and
report the proceeds of specific revenue sources. Included in the nineteen non-major governmental funds are sixteen special
revenue funds and three capital project funds.
Major Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for those activities of the Primary Government that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises in that all costs and expenses, including
depreciation, are recovered primarily or partially through user charges. The Sanitary District Funds are intended to be self-
supporting as a whole, while the Airport is intended to be only partially self-supporting. The County reports the following
major enterprise funds:
Sanitary District -
Sewer Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the sewer system serving
approximately 7,756 customers.
Water Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the water supply system serving
approximately 4,539 customers.
Restricted Fund - This fund is used to account for the proceeds of sewer and water capacity charges
(one-time allocation fees) and is used to fund capital and debt service expenses.
Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to account for the collection of special benefit assessments, and
financial resources from other sources, to fund debt associated with construction of water and sewer
facilities in accordance with debt covenants.
Bay Bridge Airport – This fund is used to account for the operation of the County’s airport that serves small,
private aircraft.

(CONTINUED)
Non-Major Enterprise Funds – Non-major Enterprise Funds account for activities which are commercial in nature and
are primarily or partially intended to be self-supporting. The County has two non-major enterprise funds, neither of which
is meant to be fully self-supporting. These funds include the Golf Course and Public Landings and Marinas.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary Funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for entities other than the
County. The County reports the following fiduciary fund types:
Private-Purpose Trust Fund – This fund accounts for an arrangement under which monies received at tax sale, in
excess of taxes due, are legally held in trust for property owners who have not been located within a legally-defined
time frame.
Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Fund– This fund accounts for the funding of retiree benefit plans of
Queen Anne’s County and other participating agencies, which are the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education
and Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Other agencies and political subdivisions have the right to
participate in this Trust Fund also, as an investment vehicle for their Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan
through the pooling of investment resources.
Agency Funds - These funds are used to account for assets held in a purely custodial capacity where the County
receives, temporarily invests, and remits such resources to individuals, private organizations or other governments.
These monies include escrow deposits for tax ditches, zoning deposits, state and town tax collections, motor vehicle
administration deposits, and abandoned property.
Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s
presentation.
The financial statements of the County have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) as applied to local government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial principles. The most significant of the
County’s accounting policies are described below.
In the process of aggregating data for the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, some amounts reported as
interfund activity and balances in the funds should be eliminated or reclassified. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has
been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. The effect of interfund services provided and used between
functions has not been eliminated in the Statement of Activities, since to do so would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
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. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating
expenses for enterprise 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.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY
1) Cash and Investments
Cash and Cash Equivalents – For Statement of Cash Flows reporting purposes, the County has defined “cash
equivalents” as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so
near their maturity that they present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
Generally, only investments with maturities of three months or less at time of purchase meet this definition. The
balance sheet classification for “cash and cash equivalents” in the Statement of Cash Flows includes the following:
“Equity in pooled cash and investments,” “Cash and cash equivalents,” and “Restricted Equity in pooled cash and
investments.”
2) Receivables and Payables
Due To/From Other Funds and Internal Balances – Activity between funds that are representative of
lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the year are current and are referred to as “due to/from other
funds.” On the Statement of Net Position, these balances are referred to as “internal balances” and are reported as
positive and negative “assets” that net to zero for the primary government as a whole.
Trade Accounts Receivable – Trade and other receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.
The allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on historical collection data and, in some cases, specific
account analysis.
3) Inventories, Prepaids, and Other Assets
Inventories consisting of materials, parts and supplies are recorded at cost and determined by the first-in, first-out
method. Inventories held for resale are reported at lower of cost or market and also determined by the first-in, first-out
method. For budgetary purposes, the cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual inventory items are
purchased (purchase method). The consumption method is used for financial reporting purposes whereby expense is
recognized as the items are used (consumed). Reported inventories are equally offset by a fund balance reserve.
Inventories in the Proprietary Funds are also recorded using the consumption method.
Prepaid items are payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond the end of the fiscal year.
4) Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangibles, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges,
curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar items) are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. The County
defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess
of one year. Such assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost where
no historical records exist. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in
a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value or functionality of the asset, or materially
extend asset lives, are not capitalized.
Land and other inexhaustible assets such as intangible property easements and other land usage rights are capitalized
but not depreciated, as these assets are expected to have indefinite useful lives.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (CONTINUED)
4) Capital Assets (continued)
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as the projects are constructed. Interest is
capitalized on proprietary fund assets acquired with tax-exempt debt. The amount of interest to be capitalized is
calculated by offsetting interest expense, incurred from the date of the borrowing until completion of the project, with
interest earned on invested proceeds over the same period. Capital projects that are under construction and not yet
ready for their intended use at year-end are classified as “construction in progress” (CIP).
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings and structures 20 - 50
Improvements other than buildings 15 - 50
Infrastructure 20 - 50
Machinery and equipment 5 - 20
Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 15
Vehicles 7 – 10
5) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will report 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.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will report 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 until that time.
6) Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation (OPEB)
Primary Government – The Queen Anne’s County post-employment benefit plan provides medical insurance
benefits to retirees and their eligible dependents. The Plan’s financial information is prepared based on full accrual
accounting. Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis as retirees’ insurance costs are incurred. Typically, OPEB
liabilities are liquidated in the following governmental funds: the General Fund, Department of Aging, Housing and
Community Services, and Community Partnerships for Children. OPEB liabilities are also liquidated in the following
enterprise funds: Sanitary Sewer, Sanitary Water, Bay Bridge Airport, Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas.
Additional details regarding other post-employment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 14.
In both the government-wide and enterprise funds, liability for other post-employment benefits is adjusted at the end of
the fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the net other post-employment benefit obligation amounted to
$51,510,197, including both governmental ($43,482,396) and business-type activities ($8,027,801).
Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2019, the net other post-employment benefit
obligation for the Board of Education amounted to $193,804,027.

7) Net Pension Liability
Primary Government – The Queen Anne’s County government participates in the Maryland State Retirement and
Pension Systems. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, the County was required to report the net pension liability associated
with this system. Typically, pension liabilities are liquidated in the following governmental funds: the General Fund,
Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, and Community Partnerships for Children. Pension
liabilities are also liquidated in the following enterprise funds: Sanitary Sewer, Sanitary Water, Bay Bridge Airport,
Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas. Additional details regarding retirement benefits can be found in Notes
9 and 12. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the net pension liability amounted to $29,037,440, including both
governmental ($26,508,985) and business-type activities ($2,528,455).
Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2019, the net pension liability for the Board of
Education amounted to $4,839,054.
8) Volunteer Fireman Pension Plan Length of Service Award Program (LOSAP)
Primary Government – The LOSAP is a single-employer defined benefit length of service award program
that covers all volunteer members of the County’s Fire and EMS Commission. The County began recording
the net LOSAP liability associated with this benefit in fiscal year 2019 with the implementation of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions and Related Assets That are Not Within the Scope of GASB Statement 68. Additional details
regarding LOSAP benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 15. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the net LOSAP liability
amounted to $6,669,736, entirely in governmental activities.
9) Compensated Absences
Primary Government – The County’s policy is to pay employees for any unused vacation time, up to a maximum of
65 days, upon termination of employment. Compensated absences are reported in governmental funds only if they
have matured, such as payments upon termination of employment, vacation, and compensatory time paid as they are
used during the year. Such time is paid as regular wages. Compensated absences are reported in enterprise funds as
they are accrued. In the government-wide statements, the liability for compensated absences is adjusted at the end of
each fiscal year to current salary costs. Accumulated unpaid leave of the County amounted to $3,132,619 at June 30,
2019, including both governmental ($2,728,413) and business-type activities ($404,206).
Component Unit - Board of Education – Accumulated unpaid annual leave is accrued when earned in the
Unrestricted Current Expense Fund using the modified accrual basis of accounting. In fiscal year 1992, the Board
adopted the practice of paying for any unused vacation time, up to the maximum number of days that employees can
carry over from one year to the next, upon termination of employment. Maximum number of days varies from 20 to
30 days, depending on classification. Liabilities for compensated absences are inventoried at the end of each fiscal
year and adjusted to current salary costs. Accumulated compensated absences as of June 30, 2019 amounted to
$803,438. Because payment of sick leave is contingent upon employees’ future illness or retirement, the Board of
Education expects its commitment to provide sick leave to be met during the normal course of activities over the
working lives of its present employees. Any accumulated unused sick leave at retirement will ultimately be taken into
consideration and paid through retirement benefits by the State of Maryland.
10) Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term
debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund type statements of net assets. Bond premiums are deferred and amortized over the life of
the bonds using the bonds outstanding method. Bonds payable in the proprietary fund financial statements and
noncurrent liabilities in the government-wide financial statements are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount. Bond issuance costs are reported in the period in which they have been incurred.

10) Long-Term Obligations (continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as expenditures. When debt is refunded in an advance refunding, payments to the Bond Refunding Agent
and associated bond issuance costs are reported as other financing uses. When debt is refunded in a current refunding,
the principal on refunded debt is reported as other financing uses.
11) Net Position/Fund Equity
In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported an unrestricted net deficit of $51,549,672. This
deficit is due to the fact that the County issues general obligation bonded debt for purposes of capital construction on
behalf of the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. The capital assets constructed with the proceeds of this debt
are reported on the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. This amount is also classified as
net investment in capital assets in the Board of Education column of the Component Units section of the County’s
government-wide Statement of Net Position. Since the Board of Education is not authorized to borrow funds, they do
not have any debt.
Since the issuance of such debt has not resulted in capital assets owned by the Primary Government, the effect of this
debt is reflected in a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets in the Governmental Activities column of the
government-wide Statement of Net Position. At June 30, 2019, the County has reported outstanding general
obligation debt related to assets held by the Board of Education amounting to $58,007,072 (of which $53,977,786 has
been spent and the remaining $4,029,286 relates to unspent bond proceeds). Absent the effect of this relationship, the
County would have reported unrestricted net assets of governmental activities in the amount of $6,457,400.
The County reports a portion of its net position in its government-wide financial statements as restricted. In this
context, restricted means that, as of June 30, 2019, this portion of net position was restricted for a particular purpose
either by external parties; by provision of the County Charter; or by enabling legislation. Net position restricted by
enabling legislation represents legislative restrictions that a party external to the government can compel the
government to honor. For the County, such amounts represent primarily accumulated net position attributed to
revenue streams that are restricted for specified purposes in the County Code. This generally includes the Rainy Day
Fund, Capital Projects Fund impact fee collections and developer exactions on hand for outside entities; restricted
amount for special revenue funds; and ending restricted net assets of the Sanitary District and other enterprise funds.
Such amounts, which are restricted in the government-wide statement of Net Position, are as follows at year-end:
Restricted Amounts
Governmental activities $ 18,962,289
Business-type activities:
Debt Service $ 1,259,440
Capital Projects 9 75,000 2,234,440
Total Restricted Amounts $ 21,196,729
Note that unspent bond proceeds of $7,997,749 are included in restricted fund balance for the General
Capital Projects Fund. At the Government-Wide level, the unspent bond proceeds are offset by the liability.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (CONTINUED)
11) Net Position/Fund Equity (continued)
In the fund financial statements, fund balances of governmental funds are classified as follows:
Nonspendable – amounts that cannot be spent either because they are not in a spendable form or because they are
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable fund balances for the County include
inventory and prepaid items.
Restricted – amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or
regulations of other governments.
Committed – amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Queen Anne’s
County Commissioners. The Commissioners are the highest level of decision-making authority for the County.
Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through formal actions such as a County Ordinance
approved by the County Commissioners.
Assigned – amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be
used for specific purposes. The assignment of funds rests with the County Commissioners. In addition, GASB 54
requires all positive residual amounts in special revenue funds to be reported as assigned.
Unassigned – all other spendable amounts; however, the General Fund is the only fund permitted to have a positive
unassigned fund balance. Negative unassigned fund balances may occur in other governmental funds.
The County typically uses restricted fund balances first, followed by committed resources, and then assigned
resources, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserves the right to selectively spend unassigned resources first to
defer the use of these other classified funds.
12) Property Tax
The County's real property tax is levied each July 1 on the assessed values certified as of that date for all taxable real
property located in the County. The levy functions as a lien against the property. Assessed values are established by
the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation at estimated market value. A revaluation of all property
is required to be completed every three years. Taxes are then billed to property owners and collected by the County.
Property represented by delinquent taxes is sold at a public auction in May of the following calendar year, with title
transferring after foreclosure proceedings have been completed.
For small businesses that meet certain criteria and also principal residences, an installment plan is offered whereby
total tax is paid in two equal installments. The first installment is due by September 30. Beginning October 1, a 1%
penalty is charged on the first day of each month that the installment remains unpaid. This 1% penalty is based on the
amount of the first installment only. The second installment is due by December 31. Beginning January 1, the 1%
penalty would then include all outstanding balances. The County accepts partial payments.
For non-principal residences, payment is due in full by September 30. Beginning October 1, a penalty is charged for
each month that taxes remain unpaid. For new construction, completed and assessed between July 1 and December
31, a supplementary tax is levied equal to half of the full-year levy. Payment in full is due by March 31. Beginning
April 1, a penalty is charged for each month that taxes remain outstanding.

NOTE 2 - BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Pursuant to the Code of Public Local Laws of Queen Anne's County, the County Commissioners adopt an annual
operating budget and real property tax rate prior to July 1 each year. This action, taken after public hearings, provides
the spending authority for the fiscal year beginning on July 1. Unexpended and unencumbered appropriation authority
expires the following June 30, except in the case of Capital Projects where appropriations lapse only upon completion or
cancellation of each project by the County Commissioners. The appropriated budgets are prepared at the fund, function,
and departmental level. Expenditures/expenses may not legally exceed appropriations, based on the level at which they
were adopted. For the General Fund, annual expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the departmental level. For all
other Governmental Funds, for which annual budgets are adopted, expenditure budgets are legally adopted at the fund
level.

Total Special Revenue Funds that adopt annual budgets $ 6 ,319,011 $ 11,909,127 $ 5,590,116
All final budgets are presented as amended. The County Administrator may approve budget amendments of $10,000 or
less throughout the year. Amendments greater than $10,000 require the approval of the County Commissioners.
Annual operating budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund (includes the Roads Board) and the following non-
major governmental funds: Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, Grants Fund, Economic
Development Incentive, BRIDGE Fund, Community Partnerships for Children, Law Library, Inmate Welfare,
Agricultural Transfer, Rural Legacy, Dredging Special Assessments, Kent Narrows, School Impact Fees Capital Projects,
Fire Company Impact Fees Capital Projects, and Parks and Recreation Impact Fees Capital Projects. Proprietary Fund
budgets are adopted for management control only and include all enterprise funds. Budgets are adopted using the same
method of accounting as that used for Fund reporting purposes.
Budgets for the General Capital Projects Fund and the Roads Capital Projects Fund reflect multi-year appropriations at
the individual project level. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level and appropriations lapse at
the completion or cancellation of individual projects. Since these capital projects funds do not adopt an annual budget
per project, a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances on a budget-to-actual basis is not
presented for these funds.
No General Fund departments exceeded their legally adopted expenditure budgets for the year ended June 30, 2019.
However, salary reversions are budgeted as a lump sum negative $960,000, but actual amounts are realized in the
individual departments and are not reported as a lump sum in the reversions activity.

NOTE 3 – CASH, INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
A. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT AND FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Deposits are maintained in a variety of financial institutions. Statutes authorize the County to invest in obligations of the
United States Government, Federal government agency obligations, secured time deposits in Maryland banks, bankers’
acceptances, the Maryland Local Government Investment Pool, money market mutual funds, commercial paper and
repurchase agreements secured by direct government or agency obligations.
At year-end, the County Primary Government had deposits of $36,161,045 with local banks (carrying value
$43,165,150). Of those balances, $501,000 was insured by federal depository insurance (FDIC). The uninsured balances
were fully collateralized by securities placed with the respective banks’ escrow agents and held in the County’s name.
Of these options, the County participates in the Maryland Local Government Investment Pool (MLGIP), which provides
all local government units of the state with a safe investment vehicle for short-term investment of funds. The State
Legislature created MLGIP with the passage of Article 95 Section 22G, of the Annotated Code of Maryland. PNC
Financial manages the MLGIP, under administrative control of the State Treasurer. A MLGIP Advisory Committee of
current participants reviews the activities of the Fund on a quarterly basis and provides suggestions to enhance the pool.
The MLGIP portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act of 1940. Standard and Poors rates the MLGIP as AAAm. The fair value of the pool is the
same as the value of the pool shares. At June 30, 2019, the County had investments in MLGIP of $57,267,113, which are
recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
As of June 30, 2019, the County’s investments (excluding investments held for retiree health benefits), for both custodial
and credit risk purposes, consisted solely of shares in the MLGIP. This investment is not deemed to have either risk and
is in conformity with the County’s policy relating to minimal credit risk of investments.
The majority of the Retiree Health Trust investments are invested in the Maryland Association of Counties Pooled OPEB
Trust (MACO Trust). The MACO Trust is administered by Davenport & Company LLC, and is a wholly-owned
instrumentality of its members. The twelve members who are the sole contributors to the Trust consist of the following:
Allegany, St. Mary’s, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties, City of Annapolis, College of Southern Maryland, Town of
Bel Air, Talbot County Board of Education, St. Mary’s County Metropolitan Commission, Harford Community College,
Harford County Public Library, and LaVale Sanitary Commission.
The assets of the Trust are managed by a Board of Trustees and consist of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government
agencies, corporate and foreign bonds, municipal obligations, taxable fixed income securities, mutual funds, global funds,
and international equity securities.
Cash and cash equivalents for the MACO Trust include an investment in a money market mutual fund. At June 30, 2019,
the weighted average maturity (WAM) for the Trust’s money market mutual fund investment was 30 days. At June 30,
2019, the short-term rating of the money market mutual fund was AAAm by Standard & Poor’s.
The main objectives of the Trust’s investment policy are the protection of investment principal and maximizing
investment income through diversification while assuring financial liquidity. The policy allows for investment in U.S. and
Non-U.S. equities, corporate, government, or government agency bonds, non U.S. bonds, Real Estate and Limited
Partnerships.

The Trust categorizes its fair value measurements with 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 and 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 are
described below:
 Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
 Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets
or liabilities in less active markets, such as dealer or broker markets; and
 Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant
value drivers are unobservable, such as pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques not
based on market, exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions.
Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the identified cost method.
Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of revenues, expenses
and changes in net position. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Equity securities classified in Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt securities
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to
value securities based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
The Trust has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2019, of which Queen Anne’s County’s
portion was 14.9% of the total:

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates that will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market
interest rates. The Trust’s investment policy states that the duration of the portfolio should be within 6 months of the
Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The Trusts’ weighted average years to maturity as of June 30, 2019 was 11.9

The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker-dealer)
to a transaction, the Trust will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the
possession of another party. The Trust’s investment policy does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit
the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments.
The Trust has all of its assets on deposit with Wilmington Trust Company in connection with its investing and cash

The Trust complies with the requirements of Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from income taxes.
LOSAP Funds
The LOSAP funds are invested in a MassMutual General Investment Account (GIA). The GIA, backed by MassMutual’s
general assets, is designed to provide stable, guaranteed rate of return and guarantee of principal. General investment
account assets are managed with reference to their associated liabilities so product specifications and obligations to
clients can be met with a high degree of certainty, even when market conditions change. Investment risk management is a
high priority. Strict diversification among industries and individual issuers help mitigate credit risk. Various quantitative
tools and systems, as well as qualitative approaches, are used to manage interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Assets in the
GIA were managed to range from 5 to 6 years. The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (does not apply to
any separate investment accounts or mutual funds offered by MassMutual or its affiliates) are rated AA+ from Standard
and Poor’s.

LOSAP Funds (Continued)
If the GIA Contract is fully or partially terminated, participants will receive the liquidation value of the GIA instead of
the book value (i.e., contract value), which is the value disclosed on participant statements and recorded within these
financial statements. The liquidation value is determined in accordance with a formula contained in the GIA Contract and
is designed to reflect the value of the assets in the general investment account. This liquidation value may be more or less
than the book value of the plan’s investment in the GIA Contract. This means that upon partial or full termination of the
GIA Contract a participant’s account balance in the GIA may be either increased or decreased.
The County’s LOSAP fund GIA account balance as of June 30, 2019 is $2,860,808 and is included in restricted LOSAP
plan assets on the general fund balance sheet.
The fair value GAAP hierarchy is based on the valuation of inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1
inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable
inputs; and Level 3 are significant unobservable inputs. GIA is measured on recurring basis and is considered to be
Level 3 as liquidation value is based on actuarial formula as defined under the terms of the contract with no observable
price.

The County does not have any allowance for doubtful accounts related to the above receivables.
In Fiscal Year 2014, the County issued bonds on behalf of three mid-shore counties (Dorchester, Caroline, and Talbot) in
order to provide funding for the new Center for Allied Health and Athletics at Chesapeake College. Therefore, in addition
to the Governmental and Enterprise Fund receivables listed above, the County also has a $3.9 million receivable on its
government-wide Statement of Net Position, which represents the collective obligation of the three aforementioned counties
for funding the facility at Chesapeake College.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED)
The County expects to receive all receivables listed in the table within one year, excluding the following items.
Intergovernmental receivables include bonds receivable from four other counties. In years 2000 and 2003, Queen Anne’s
County sold $2,815,000 and $710,000, respectively, of its general obligation bonds for the purpose of providing the local
share of capital projects at Chesapeake College. Five counties, including Queen Anne’s County, provide local support for
the College. The other four counties supporting Chesapeake College reimburse Queen Anne’s County for their portion of
the debt service. Bonds are amortized over the 20-year life of each of the original Queen Anne's County Bonds. The
current carrying value for the bonds receivable from the other four counties are $133,311 and $138,787, respectively, for a
total of $272,098. The College bills and collects from the original five counties an amount sufficient to cover this debt
service and reimburses this amount to Queen Anne’s County on a semi-annual basis. In addition to these two receivables
related to Chesapeake College, there is also a receivable of $3.9 million included in the Government-Wide Statement of Net
Position. Details are included on the previous page.
Loans receivable in the amount of $6,338,925 relate to the Housing and Community Services, Impact Fees, and Revolving
Loan Special Revenue Funds. Loans receivable in the amount of $5,412,350 for Housing and Community Services will be
repaid when the homes are sold, in virtually all cases. These loans support housing rehabilitation and home-ownership.
When the loans are repaid to the County, the funds are then loaned out again to serve the same purpose. Loans for the
Revolving Loan Fund in the amount of $70,283 are also repaid over a number of years.
The remaining loan receivable balance of $856,292 relates to school, fire, and parks and recreation impact fees. In July
2007, the County began accepting promissory notes for impact fees, in certain situations, with the understanding that when
certificate of occupancy was obtained, these notes would be paid in full. To ensure repayment, the notes attach to the
property incurring the impact fee; therefore, payment will be required automatically prior to legal transfer of title.
Income taxes held by the State in the amount of $15,628,823 have been estimated by the State as income tax due for “tax
years” 2015 and prior. It may take five years or longer for the State to receive all amounts relating to these “tax years” and
remit those monies to the County. However, the State indicates that this is a reasonable estimate of their liability to the
County and the County reports this amount in accordance with GAAP.
Special Assessments in the amount of $917,339 represent receivables for governmental activities. Part of this amount
consists of $96,352 for assessments levied on homeowners to reimburse the County for construction or upgrade of private
roads prior to their acceptance into the County Roads System. The other part of this amount consists of $820,987 for
assessments levied on homeowners relating to dredging costs. Payment of these assessments is expected over a number of
years.
Restricted Special Assessments in the amount of $12,384,562 represent restricted receivables for the Sanitary District.
These receivables relate to assessments levied on homeowners for the construction of sewer and water lines, as well as for
hook up costs. Only the current portion due is billed and the remaining balances are repaid over a number of years, as
determined by the original agreement. As the funds are paid back, the County uses the money to repay debt.

NOTE 9 – NONCURRENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
B. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, NOTES, OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATION,
NET PENSION LIABILITY, AND COMPENSATED ABSENCES
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
All general obligation bonds are valid and legally binding general obligations of Queen Anne’s County and constitutes an
irrevocable pledge of its full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power. Governmental bonds are payable from ad
valorem taxes, unlimited as to rate or amount on all real, tangible, personal, and certain intangible property subject to
taxation at full rate for local purposes in the County.
Business-type bonds, while representing general obligations of the County government, are to be paid from income
earned by the related enterprise fund. Enterprise funds that have such debt are: Sewer Operations, Bay Bridge Airport,
Blue Heron Golf Course, and Public Landings and Marinas.
During fiscal year 2019, the County implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s Statement (GASB)
Statement 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That are Not Within the Scope of
GASB Statement 68. The County’ Fire and EMS Commission Pension Plan Length of Service Award Program
(“LOSAP”) is included in GASB 73 reporting. For governmental funds, the LOSAP obligations are reported in the
government-wide statements in the public safety function. There are not any LOSAP obligations in the enterprise funds.
LOSAP costs in governmental funds are charged to the General Fund. Additional information can be found in Note 15.
During fiscal year 2018, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other than Pensions. For
governmental funds, the other post-employment benefit obligations are reported in the government-wide statements in the
function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these obligations are
reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. Other Post-
Employment Benefit Obligation costs in governmental funds are charged to the General Fund. Additional information
can be found in Note 14, Other Post-Employment Benefits.
During fiscal year 2015, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. For governmental funds, the net pension liability is
reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time.
For enterprise funds, these obligations are reported in the enterprise fund in which the employee charges the majority of
their productive time. Net Pension Liability costs in governmental funds are charged to the Governmental Fund in which
the employee charges their time. Additional information can be found in Note 12, Retirement Plans.
Compensated absences that mature during the fiscal year, in that they are paid when the employee takes vacation leave or
upon the employee’s termination, are typically liquidated from the governmental or enterprise fund in which that
employee charges the majority of their productive time. They are paid as regular wages. Compensated absences that do
not mature during the fiscal year are accrued at year-end as an adjustment to liability for compensated absences. For
governmental funds, these adjustments are reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that
employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these adjustments are reported in the enterprise
fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. In the case of grant-funded activities that
disallow compensated absences as an eligible cost, they are paid as administrative wages in the same Fund. Compensated
absences in governmental funds are primarily charged to the General Fund or Special Revenue Funds; they are usually
not charged to Capital Projects Funds.

A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these
bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County’s debt service for
interest expense. As a result, the County received interest reimbursements of $327,691 during fiscal year 2019, which
are reported separately as a specific intergovernmental grant. The net effect of this reimbursement is shown below.

C. ISSUANCE OF NEW DEBT
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
On April 23, 2019, Queen Anne's County issued Public Facilities Bonds of 2019 for $11,000,000. These General
Obligation Bonds carry interest rates of 3.0 to 5.0 percent and mature serially through 2039. The primary use of the
bond proceeds is to provide funding for the new County courthouse, Roads capital projects, various Board of Education
projects, with minor amounts earmarked for construction of general government capital projects. Moody’s Investor
Service has assigned the rating of Aa1, Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of AAA and Standard & Poor’s also assigned
a AAA rating to the Queen Anne’s County 2019 Bonds.
In fiscal year 2017, the County began borrowing funds through the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration
for the Southern Kent Island (SKI) Sanitary Project. The total loan amount will be approximately $32 million and funds
will be disbursed as the project costs are incurred. Principal payments will begin in 2022 and the loan will be repaid over
30 years at an interest rate of 0.80%. In fiscal year 2019, the County received $4,859,750 as part of this loan. The total
received as of June 30, 2019 was $21,695,182. At completion of the SKI project, it is anticipated that $1,267,000 of the
loan with the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration will be forgiven and the County will not need to repay
those funds. At that time, the County will clear the debt for the final amount forgiven.

F. LOCAL DEBT POLICY
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
In May 2013, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 13-04, which updated and replaced Resolution No. 09-13,
to continue a local debt policy in compliance with Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland. This
policy requires that the County’s Director of Budget, Finance, and Information Technology: (1) prepare a six-year capital
project plan each year; (2) propose an amount to be transferred from the General Fund operating balances to the General
Capital Projects Fund to serve as pay-as-you-go funding in the latter Fund, in order to lessen the need for future County
debt; (3) limit the County’s non-bonded indebtedness to $8.0 million for general operating expenses or capital
improvements; and (4) certify that the sum of outstanding general bonded debt and any new general obligation debt is
2.5% or less of the total taxable assessable base and is $3,000 or less per capita. This policy also stipulates that although
there is some flexibility as to the acceptable percentage of debt service to general fund expenditures, and no absolute
limit has been established by the rating agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association, anything above 12% of
total general fund expenditures would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service. In addition to the debt policy, the
Spending Affordability Committee recommended that the limit of debt service to general fund expenditures should be
limited to 10% and the County Commissioners have adopted that as a limit.
Queen Anne’s County has complied with the above policy, and has not had any violations. For calculations relating to
this local debt policy, see Table 12-b in the Statistical Section of this document.

NOTE 10 – RESTRICTED ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCES
A. RESTRICTED ASSETS AND RELATED LIABILITIES
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
BUSINESS-TYPE ACTIVITIES
Queen Anne’s County Sanitary District
Restricted Fund - The County Commissioners created a restricted fund within the Sanitary District Enterprise Fund in
November of 1989 by enabling legislation. Revenue sources to the fund are sales of water and sewer allocations and
interest earned on investments. Authorized uses of restricted funds are major capital expenses for repairs, construction,
plant expansion, debt service, or other similar uses within the Sanitary District. To date, such funds have been used
almost exclusively for debt service.
Debt Service Fund - Principal and interest payments for water and wastewater debt used to expand the service area are
payable primarily from water and sewer special benefit assessments. These assessments, made at the time the expansion
is ready for use, are created by enabling legislation and amortized over the same life as underlying debt. They constitute
a lien on the served property and may be prepaid at any time. The amount of assessments collectable in future years is
recorded as benefit assessments receivable. A portion of those assessments receivable is not due currently and is
recorded as unearned revenue.
Water Quality Revolving Loan Fund debt covenants stipulate that sufficient financial resources must be available in the
Debt Service Fund as of June 30 of each year to cover the subsequent year’s debt service payments. If such resources are
not available at that time, the covenants require that the County increase service rates, impose benefit assessments, or
otherwise increase financial resources so that debt service payments are covered before they are due throughout the year.

NOTE 11 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The County is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; and natural disasters. The government carries commercial insurance to cover such risks. Certain
assets of the County such as roads, bridges, and other infrastructure are not insurable due to their nature.
General Insurance Coverage - The County is a participant in the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT), which is
a consortium of Maryland local governments created to provide insurance coverage and services to Maryland local
governments. The LGIT provides general liability, public officials’ liability, fleet insurance, and building and
property insurance to its members.
Workmen’s compensation and fidelity insurance are obtained from various commercial insurance companies.
Risk Sharing - Subscribers to coverage provided by LGIT share the risk among participants of the pools. As a result,
the County's annual premium requirements will be affected by the loss experience of the various insurance pools in
which it participates. Also, the County may be subject to additional assessments from time to time. These amounts
would be recorded as expenditures when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Conversely, favorable
performance of certain insurance pools may result in reduced premiums.
Health Insurance - Effective with the 1996 fiscal year, the County joined together with other Eastern Shore county
governments, libraries, and Boards of Education to form the Eastern Shore of Maryland Education Consortium Health
Insurance Alliance (ESMEC), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and
insurance program for health insurance coverage. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, of Maryland, administers this
program.
The agreement for formulation of the alliance provides that the pool will be self-sustaining through member
premiums. In addition to the annual premiums, the pooling agreement provides for additional assessments, if needed,
but not to exceed certain limits. No additional assessments were needed for fiscal year 2019 and, as of the date of this
report, it is believed that there are no outstanding claims in excess of the equity of the trust.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS
Virtually all full and eligible part-time employees of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, and its related agencies are
covered by one of the statewide contributory pension systems of the State of Maryland.
Maryland State Retirement and Pension Systems
Organization
The State Retirement Agency is the administrator of the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System (the System).
The System was established by the State Personnel and Pensions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland to provide
retirement allowances and other benefits to State employees, teachers, police, judges, legislators, and employees of
participating governmental units. Responsibility for the System’s administration and operation is vested in a 15 member
Board of Trustees. The System is made up of two cost-sharing employer pools: the “State Pool” and the “Municipal
Pool”. The State Pool consists of State agencies, boards of education, community colleges, and libraries. The Municipal
Pool consists of participating governmental units that elected to join the System. Neither pool shares in each other’s
actuarial liabilities, thus participating governmental units that elect to join the System (the “Municipal Pool”) share in the
liabilities of the Municipal Pool only. The State Retirement Agency issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the System. That report may be obtained by
writing to the State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland, 120 E. Baltimore Street, Suite 1660, Baltimore,
Maryland 21202-1600 or on-line at www.sra.maryland.gov.
The System is comprised of the Teachers’ Retirement and Pension Systems, Employees’ Retirement and Pension
Systems, State Police Retirement System, Judges’ Retirement System, and the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension
System (LEOPS).
The following groups of employees participate in:
Employees Plan
Board of Education - regular employees Employees System
Board of Education - teachers Teachers System
Library Teachers System

Basis of Accounting
The System’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For purposes of measuring net pension liability, deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the
fiduciary net position of the System and additions to/deductions from the System’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the System. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds
of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.
Covered Members
Teachers’ Retirement and Pension Systems
The Teachers’ Retirement System was established on August 1, 1927, to provide retirement allowances and other benefits
to teachers in the State. Effective January 1, 1980, the Teachers’ Retirement System was closed to new members and the
Teachers’ Pension System was established. As a result, teachers hired after December 31, 1979, became members of the
Teachers’ Pension System as a condition of employment. On or after January 1, 2005, an individual who is a member of
the Teachers’ Retirement System may not transfer membership to the Teachers’ Pension System.
Employees’ Retirement and Pension Systems
On October 1, 1941, the Employees’ Retirement System was established to provide retirement allowances and other
benefits to State employees, elected and appointed officials and the employees of participating governmental units.
Effective January 1, 1980, the Employees’ Retirement System was essentially closed to new members and the
Employees’ Pension system was established. As a result, State employees (other than correctional officers) and
employees of participating governmental units hired after December 31, 1979, became members of the Employees’
Pension System as a condition of employment, while all State correctional officers and members of the Maryland General
Assembly continue to be enrolled as members of the Employees’ Retirement System. On or after January 1, 2005, an
individual who is a member of the Employees’ Retirement System may not transfer membership to the Employees’
Pension System.
The Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System (LEOPS)
The Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System (LEOPS) was established on July 2, 1990, to provide retirement
allowances and other benefits for certain State and local law enforcement officers. This System includes both retirement
plan and pension plan provisions which are applicable to separate portions of the System’s membership. The retirement
plan provisions are only applicable to those members who, on the date they elected to participate in LEOPS, were
members of the Employees’ Retirement System. This System’s pension plan provisions are applicable to all other
participating law enforcement officers.
Summary of Significant Plan Provisions
All plan benefits are specified by the State Personnel and Pensions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. For all
individuals who are members of the Employees’, Teachers’, Correctional Officers’ or State Police Retirement System on
or before June 30, 2011, retirement allowances are computed using both the highest three years’ Average Final
Compensation (AFC) and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. For individuals who become
members of the State Police Retirement System or the Correctional Officers’ Retirement System on or after July 1, 2011,
retirement allowances are computed using both the highest five years’ AFC and the actual number of years of
accumulated creditable service. For all individuals who are members of the pension systems of the State Retirement and
Pension System on or before June 30, 2011, pension allowances are computed using both the highest three consecutive
years’ AFC and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. For any individual who becomes a
member of one of the pension systems on or after July 1, 2011, pension allowances are computed using both the highest

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
five consecutive year’s AFC and the actual number of years of accumulated creditable service. Various retirement
options are available under each system which ultimately determines how a retiree’s benefit allowance will be computed.
Some of these options require actuarial reductions based on the retiree’s and/or designated beneficiary’s attained age and
similar actuarial factors.
Beginning July 1, 2011, the member contribution rate was increased for members of the Teachers’ Pension System and
Employees’ Pension Systems from 5% to 7% and from 4% to 6% respectively, in fiscal year 2013 and 7% in the fiscal
year 2014 and beyond for members of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System. Beginning July 1, 2013, the
member contribution rate was increased for members of the Judges’ Retirement System from 6% to 8%.
In addition, the benefit attributable to service on or after July 1, 2011 in many of the pension systems now will be subject
to different cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) that is based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and
capped at 2.5% or 1.0% based on whether the market value investment return for the preceding calendar year was higher
or lower than the investment return assumption used in the valuation.
A brief summary of the retirement eligibility requirements of and the benefits available under the various systems in
effect are as follows:
Service Retirement Allowances
A member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System is generally eligible for full retirement benefits upon
the earlier of attaining age 60 or accumulating 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. The annual retirement
allowance equals 1/55 (1.81%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by the number of years of accumulated creditable
service.
An individual who is a member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2011, is
eligible for full retirement benefits upon the earlier of attaining age 62, with specified years of eligibility service, or
accumulating 30 years of eligibility service regardless of age. An individual who becomes a member of either the
Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2011, is eligible for full retirement benefits if the member’s
combined age and eligibility service equals at least 90 years or if the member is at least age 65 and has accrued at least 10
years of eligibility service.
For most individuals who retired from either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2006,
the annual pension allowance equals 1.2% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service
accumulated prior to July 1, 1998, plus 1.4% of the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable
service accumulated subsequent to June 30, 1998. With certain exceptions, for individuals who are members of the
Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2006, the annual pension allowance equals 1.2% of the
member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated prior to July 1, 1998, plus 1.8% of
the member’s AFC, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated subsequent to June 30, 1998.
Beginning July 1, 2011, any new member of the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System shall earn an annual pension
allowance equal to 1.5% of the member’s AFC multiplied by the number of years of creditable service accumulated as a
member of the Teachers’ or Employee’s Pension System.
Exceptions to these benefit formulas apply to members of the Employees’ Pension System, who are employed by a
participating governmental unit that does not provide the 1998 or 2006 enhanced pension benefits or the 2011 reformed
pension benefits. The pension allowance for those members equals 0.8% of the member’s AFC up to the social security
integration level (SSIL), plus 1.5% of the member’s AFC in excess of the SSIL, multiplied by the number of years of
accumulated creditable service. For the purpose of computing pension allowances, the SSIL is the average of the social
security wage bases for the past 35 calendar years ending with the year the retiree separated from service.

member who is covered under the retirement plan provisions equals 1/50 (2.0%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by the
number of years of accumulated creditable service up to 30 years, plus 1/100 (1.0%) of the member’s AFC multiplied by
the number of years of accumulated creditable service in excess of 30 years. For members subject to the pension
provisions, full service pension allowances equal 2.0% of AFC up to a maximum of 60% (30 years of credit).
Vested Allowances
Any individual who is a member of the State Retirement and Pension System on or before June 30, 2011 (other than a
judge or a legislator), and who terminates employment before attaining retirement age but after accumulating 5 years of
eligibility service is eligible for a vested retirement allowance. Any individual who joins the State Retirement and
Pension System on or after July 1, 2011 (other than a judge or a legislator), and who terminates employment before
attaining retirement age but after accumulating 10 years of eligibility service is eligible for a vested retirement allowance.
A member, who terminates employment prior to attaining retirement age and before vesting, receives a refund of all
member contributions and interest.
Early Service Retirement
A member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System may retire with reduced benefits after completing 25
years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by 0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree either
attains age 60 or would have accumulated 30 years of creditable service, whichever is less. The maximum reduction for a
Teachers’ or Employees’ Retirement System member is 30%.
An individual who is a member of either the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System on or before June 30, 2011 may
retire with reduced benefits upon attaining age 55 with a least 15 years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by
0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree attains age 62. The maximum reduction for these members of
the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pension System is 42%. An individual who becomes a member of either the Teachers’ or
Employees’ Pension System on or after July 1, 2011, may retire with reduced benefits upon attaining age 60 with at least
15 years of eligibility service. Benefits are reduced by 0.5% per month for each month remaining until the retiree attains
age 65. The maximum reduction for these members of the Teachers’ or Employees’ Pensions System is 30%.
Members of the State Police, Judges’, Law Enforcement Officers’ and Local Fire and Police Systems are not eligible for
early service benefits.
Disability and Death Benefits
Generally, a member covered under retirement plan provisions who is permanently disabled after 5 years of service
receives a service allowance based on a minimum percentage (usually 25%) of the member’s AFC. A member covered
under pension plan provisions who is permanently disabled after accumulating 5 years of eligibility service receives a
service allowance computed as if service had continued with no change in salary until the retiree attained age 62. A
member (other than a member of the Maryland General Assembly or a judge, both of which are ineligible for accidental
disability benefits) who is permanently and totally disabled as the result of an accident occurring in the line of duty
receives 2/3 (66.7%) of the member’s AFC plus an annuity based on all member contributions and interest. Death
benefits are equal to a member’s annual salary as of the date of death plus all member contributions and interest.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
Adjusted Retirement Allowances
Retirement and pension allowances are increased annually to provide for changes in the cost of living according to
prescribed formula. Such adjustments for retirees are based on the annual change in the CPI. For the Teachers’ and
Employees’ Retirement Systems (TRS/ERS) the method by which the annual COLA’s are computed depends upon
elections made by members who were active on July 1, 1984 (or within 90 days of returning to service, for members who
were inactive on July 1, 1984) enabling the member to receive either an unlimited COLA , a COLA limited to 5% or a
two part combination COLA depending upon the COLA election made by the member.
Effective July 1, 1998, for Teachers’, Employees’, and LEOPS retirees, the adjustment is capped at a maximum 3%
compounded and is applied to all benefits which have been in payment for one year. The annual increase to pension
allowances for Employees’ Pension System retirees who were employed by a participating governmental unit that does
not provide enhanced pension benefits are limited to 3% of the initial allowance.
However, beginning July 1, 2011, for benefits attributable to service earned on or after July 1, 2011, in all of the systems
except the judges’ and legislators’ systems, the adjustment is capped in the lesser of 2.5% or the increase in CPI if the
most recent calendar year market value rate of return was greater than or equal to the assumed rate. The adjustment is
capped at the lesser of 1% or the increase in CPI if the market value return was less than the assumed rate of return. In
years in which COLAs would be less than zero due to a decline in the CPI, retirement allowances will not be adjusted.
COLAs in succeeding years are adjusted until the difference between the negative COLA that would have applied and the
zero COLA is fully recovered.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation In the 2018 actuarial valuation, 2.60% general, 3.10% wage. In the 2017 actuarial
valuation, 2.65% general, 3.15% wage.
Salary Increases In the 2018 actuarial valuation, 3.10% to 9.10%. In the 2017 actuarial valuation,
3.15% to 9.15%.
Investment Rate of Return In the 2018 actuarial valuation, 7.45%. In the 2017 actuarial valuation, 7.50%.
Discount Rate 7.45% in 2018; 7.5% in 2017

Investments
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment
expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term
expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and
by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of geometric real rates of return were adopted by the Board of Trustees after
considering input from the System’s investment consultant(s) and actuary(s). For each major asset class that is included
in the System’s target asset allocation, these best estimates are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term
Expected Real Rate
Asset Class Target Allocation of Return
Public Equity 37% 5.8%
Private Equity 13% 6.7%
Rate Sensitive 19% 1.1%
Credit Opportunity 9% 3.6%
Real Assets 14% 4.8%
Absolute Return 8% 3.2%
Total 100%
The above was the Board of Trustees adopted asset allocation policy and best estimate of geometric real rates of return
for each major asset class as of June 30, 2018.
For the years ended June 30, 2018, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of the
pension plan investment expense, was 8.08%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net
of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Discount rate
A single discount rate of 7.45% was used to measure the total pension liability. The single discount rate was based on the
expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.45%. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single
discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the
member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. 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.

Employer Contributions:
In accordance with Maryland Senate Bill 1301, Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2012, the Board is required
to pay the State a specified percentage of the normal cost portion of the total pension cost for teachers. The normal cost is
the portion of the total retirement benefit cost that is allocated to the current year of the employee’s service. The
specified percentage increases each fiscal year, until fiscal year 2017, when the Board began paying 100% of the normal
cost for each teacher.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related
to Pensions
Because the State of Maryland pays the unfunded liability for the Teachers’ Systems on behalf of the Board and Library,
and the Board pays the normal cost for the Teachers’ Systems, the Board and Library are not required to record its’ share
of the unfunded pension liability for the Teachers’ Systems, the State of Maryland is required to record that liability. The
Board is required to record a liability for the Employees’ Systems.
At June 30, 2019, the Board of Education reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability that
reflected a reduction for State pension support provided to the Board. The amount recognized by the Board as its
proportionate share of the net pension liability, the related State support, and the total portion of the net pension liability
that was associated with the Board were as follows:

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The County’s proportion of the net pension
liability was calculated as follows by the System(s):
1. Calculate the net pension liability for the entire System. For purposes of funding the System, all calculations are
determined on an actuarial basis and are completed through the development of rates based on two separate
asset pools, one for employees of the State of Maryland (the State) and one for the Participating Governmental
Units (“PGUs”). These pools are kept on an actuarial basis and allow for the State to fund only State employees
and PGUs to fund only PGU employees. For the accounting of the System, however, the assets of the System
are accounted in a single pool which is audited annually.
2. Determine the total contributions to the System by the State and PGUs, inclusive of any underfunding of
contributions.
3. Based on the number of participants at each Board of Education, calculate the difference between what each
Board would have contributed if they funded at the rate of all other participating governments and what the
Board actually contributed. The difference between what the Board contributed and what they would have
contributed if they funded at the rate of the other participating governments, is then added to the total
contribution to the System, to calculate the System’s adjusted contribution.
4. Calculate for each participating government, their percentage of the adjusted System contribution by dividing
the total adjusted System contribution into each primary government contribution.
5. Provide each PGU its adjusted percentage of contribution and the System’s net pension liability and other
related amounts.

The measurement date for GASB 74 is the Employer’s fiscal year end, June 30, 2019. Plan assets (Fiduciary Net
Position) are measured as of this date. The Total OPEB Liability (TOL) as of this date is based on an actuarial valuation
as of January 1, 2019, with adjustments made for the one-and-a-half year difference. Adjustments include Service Cost,
Interest on Total OPEB Liability, and expected benefit payments during the year. This is also known as a roll-forward.
Under GASB 74, the Net OPEB Liability (NOL) is established as the difference between the Total OPEB Liability and
the Plan Fiduciary Net Position. The NOL is very much like the unfunded actuarial accrued liability that is developed for
the funding valuation, with adjustments for any time between the valuation date and the measurement date.

Plan Changes Since Prior Valuation
There have been no changes in eligibility or cost sharing provisions since the prior valuation, which included the retiree
payment changes outlined above.
Actuarial Information
Actuarial assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2019, using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
 Investment Return: 6.00%, net of investment expense and including inflation
 Healthcare Trend: 6.75% initially, grading down to 4.25% ultimate
Mortality rates are based on the PUB2010G Headcount tables with Scale SSA18 applied on a generational basis.
PUB2010G Headcount tables are used for those on disability, if applicable.
Changes in Actuarial assumptions
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year, except the change in discount rate due to an updated
fund availability analysis and the change to the Mortality tables.
Actuarial Methods for Determining Employer Contributions
The same economic and demographic assumptions are used for both funding and financial reporting purposes under
GASB 74/75.
The Entry Age method is used for accounting/GASB purposes, therefore all of the actuarial figures within this Report are
based on it. Actuarially Determined Contributions are also based on the Entry Age method, with a closed level
percentage of payroll amortization of the unfunded liability (19 years remaining).
Expected Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and
inflation) are developed for each asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return
by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation process, by which a (downward) risk adjustment is
applied to the baseline expected return.
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target asset
allocation as of June 30, 2019, and the final investment return assumption, are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 5.66%. The County’s funding expectations/policy is to
contribute 60% of the Actuarially Determined Contribution in fiscal year 2019, then increase this percentage 10% each
year until the actuarial cost is being contributed in full annually. It is expected that benefits will be paid from the trust
when a 50% funding level is reached. Based on this information, we project that benefits will be financed on a pay as you
go basis until 2030, then from the trust there forward.
Therefore, the expected trust return of 6.00% is blended with the 20-year Aa bond rate* of 3.13%. The blended rate is
5.66%. The prior rate was 5.75%.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Plan description
The Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the
Plan”). The plan provides healthcare insurance for eligible retirees and their spouses through the Board’s group health
insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. The Plan does not issue a stand-alone report. Benefit
provisions are based on contractual agreements with employee groups. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan
upon retirement. Participants must meet the eligibility requirements of the Maryland State Teachers’ pension system
described below:
For members hired before July 1, 2011, the earliest retirement eligibility is the earlier of:
 Age 55 with 15 years of service,
 Age 62 with 5 years of service,
 Age 63 with 4 years of service,
 Age 64 with 3 years of service,
 Age 65 with 2 years of service, or
 30 years of service, regardless of age.

For members hired after July 1, 2011, the earliest retirement eligibility is the earlier of
 Rule of 90 (age plus service is at least 90),
 Age 65 with 10 years of service,
 Age 60 with 15 years of service
As of July 1, 2018, the date of the last actuarial valuation, approximately 395 retirees were receiving benefits, and 951
active employees are potentially eligible to receive future benefits.
Funding Policy
The Board pays a portion of retiree healthcare premiums based on years-of-service ranging from 5 years of service to 25+
years of service until the retiree becomes Medicare-eligible. The retiree pays the remaining premium, including the cost
of eligible dependents. Pre-Medicare retirees may choose between two medical plans (a PPN plan and an EPO plan).
Both plans include medical and prescription benefits. Once a participant is Medicare eligible, the participant must switch
to a Medicare supplement plan, which is also packaged with a prescription plan. Retirees have the option of electing
dental and vision coverage in addition to medical coverage.
Employer Contribution
Retirees receive a subsidy for their post-retirement medical insurance based on service. The subsidy requires a minimum
of 5 years of service for Administration and 10 years of service for Teachers. For teachers, once ten years of service is
reached, the Board covers 36% of the cost of the individual’s EPO health plan. The percentage subsidized by the Board
increases 3.6% per year for every year of service in excess of ten. At 25 years of service, the maximum subsidy of 90% is
reached. For administrators, once five years of service is reached, the Board covers 35% of the cost of the individual’s
EPO health plan. The percentage subsidized by the Board increases 5.5% per year for every year of service in excess of
five. At 15 years of service, the maximum subsidy of 90% is reached. Retirees with less than the minimum years of
service required to receive a subsidy are allowed access to the medical coverage, but must pay 100% of the published
rates. In addition, the Board is contractually obligated to pay the full cost of medical insurance for certain retired
directors, superintendents, and their spouses.

Employer Contribution (Continued)
The Board also pays the cost of providing term life insurance for its retirees in varying amounts depending upon length of
service and date of retirement. The benefits payable upon death are $5,000 (fixed) for 5 to 25 years of service or $50,000
(maximum-based on annual salary at retirement) for over 25 years of service. There is a reduction of benefit of 25% at
age 70 and a benefit reduction of 33.3% at age 75 and beyond.
Net OPEB Liability
The annual OPEB expense under GASB Statement No. 75 is equal to the change in the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability from the prior year’s measurement date to the current year measurement date, with some of the liability changes
being deferred to future years. Changes in the actuarial accrued liability due to experience gains or losses or changes in
assumptions are recognized over the expected future working lifetime of all plan participants, including retirees. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Board recognized an OPEB expense of $12,313,973.
The Board’s total OPEB liability is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB
Statement No. 75. The following table shows the components of the Board’s total and net OPEB liability as of

Funding Status and Funding Progress
Contributions to the plan are made as benefit payments and expenses become due. As of the most recent actuarial
valuation, the plan was 0.26% funded. The total OPEB liability for benefits was $194,312,559 and plan assets at market
value totaled $508,532, resulting in a net OPEB liability of $193,804,027. The covered employee payroll was
$57,590,119, and the ratio of the net OPEB liability to the covered payroll was 336.52%.
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. The schedule of net OPEB liability, presented as required supplementary
information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the net
OPEB liability is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the total OPEB liability for benefits.
Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation is as follows:
 Measurement date – The Board selected a June 30, 2018 measurement date for fiscal year-end 2019. The
measurement date can be any date between the last day of the prior fiscal year and the last day of the current
fiscal year.
 Cost method – This valuation uses the Entry Age Normal Funding Method calculated on an individual basis with
level percentage of payroll.
 Claims data – Monthly paid claims, administrative expenses and enrollment for employees and retirees from
February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2018 were supplied by the carrier. Claims were divided into pre and post
65 age retirees.
 Demographic data – Data included current medical coverage for current employees and retirees as of July 1,
2018.
 Discount rate assumption - Benefits are discounted based on the Bond Buyer GO 20-year Bond Municipal Bond
Index, an index rate for 20-year tax exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa
or higher. This rate was 3.62% as of June 30, 2018.
 Health care trend – The medical trend assumption was developed using the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Long-
Run Medical Cost Trend Model. The SOA model was released in December 2007 and is updated annually. The
following assumptions were used as input variables into this model:
Rate of Inflation 2.2%
Rate of growth in real income / GDP per year 1.6%
Excess medical cost growth 1.3%
Health Share of GDP Resistance Point 25.0%
Year for limiting cost growth to GDP growth 2075

LIBRARY
Plan description
The Library participates in an agent multiple-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Plan”) that covers retired
employees of Queen Anne’s County, the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education, and the Library. A Trust entity was
established in June, 2009 entitled Other Post- Employment Benefit Trust – County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s
County, County Commissioners of Kent County, and Participating Agencies (the “Trust”).
Unrelated agencies and political subdivisions have the right to participate in this Trust and deposit funds for investment
purposes. Accordingly, funds are being held in the Trust on behalf of Kent County, Maryland for the benefit of their plan
participants.
The Trust assets are managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of five members: two representing Queen Anne’s County
Government, two representing Queen Anne’s County Board of Education, and one representing Kent County. In lieu of
separate financial statements for the Trust, Queen Anne’s County presents the Trust entity’s complete financial
statements in their Combined Annual Financial Report.
Benefits provided
The plan reimburses eligible retirees for a portion of healthcare insurance based on years-of-service ranging from $3,000
for 15 years of service to $4,400 for 25 plus years of service. The retiree pays the remaining premium, including the cost
of eligible dependents. Participants must meet the eligibility requirements of the State Retirement and Pension System of
Maryland, which are age 55 with 15 years of service, age 62 with 5 years of service, or 30 years of service (regardless of
age).

Contributions
The Library pays retiree healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Library
contributed $20,248 for six retirees.
Net OPEB liability
The Library's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2019, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net
OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation January 1, 2019.
Actuarial assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2019, using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods in the measurement:
Healthcare trend – Because this is a flat dollar plan and retirees secure their own insurance, the trend is
not applicable.
Mortality rates are based on PUB2010G Headcount tables with Scale SSA18 applied on a generational basis. PUB2010G
Headcount Disabled tables are used for those on disability, if applicable.
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year, except the change in discount rate due to an updated
fund availability analysis and the change to the mortality tables.
Actuarial methods for determining employer contributions use the same economic and demographic assumptions for both
funding and financial reporting purposes under GASB 74/75. The Entry Age method is used for accounting/GASB
purposes, therefore all of the actuarial figures within this report are based on it. Actuarially Determined Contributions are
based on the Entry Age method, with a closed level percentage of payroll amortization of the unfunded liability (10 years
remaining).
Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 3.13%. There is essentially no prefunding of benefits in an
OPEB trust for this plan (i.e., pay as you go), therefore the discount rate is equal to the yield on a 20-year municipal bond
Aa index as of June 30, 2019.

NOTE 16 – DEFICIT EQUITY BALANCES
The following Non-Major Governmental Funds ended the year with deficit balances in unassigned fund balance:
Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund
The Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $28,164 as of June 30,
2019. This negative fund balance is the result of an overpayment to a particular fire department, and will decrease over
time as the incoming revenues offset the overpayment.
The following Enterprise Funds ended the year with deficit equity balances:
Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund
The Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net position of $1,409,322 as of June 30,
2019.
Golf Course Enterprise Fund
The Golf Course Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net position of $747,202 as of June 30, 2019.
The County Commissioners established the guideline that the Enterprise Funds should be self-supporting, to the extent
possible. Therefore, a variety of measures are being evaluated in order to attempt the goal of balancing the Enterprise
Funds.
NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
Grants - The County and its component units are recipients of various federal and state grant and/or loan programs, which
are governed by various rules and regulations of the grantor agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs are
subject to audit and adjustment by these grantor agencies. If the County has not complied with the rules and regulations
governing the programs, refunds of money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivable as of
June 30, 2019 may be impaired. The County’s management believes that there are no significant contingent liabilities
that must be recorded relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing these programs. No funds were
required to be returned in fiscal year 2019.
Further, certain grants for capital projects, such as various park projects funded by the State, must be used for the
intended purpose of the grant. If, at any time during the useful lives of these projects, the facilities cease to operate in
their intended capacity, the County may be required to reimburse the granting agency that portion of the grant or note that
is equal to the percentage of useful life remaining. The County’s Management believes that no such grant
reimbursements will be needed.
In fiscal year 2010, the County’s Department of Housing and Community Services received a grant of $350,000 from the
Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. This Maryland Neighborhood Conservation Initiative
(NCI) Grant provided funding to be used for the acquisition and purchase of foreclosed properties for resale to qualifying
homebuyers, as well as the issuance of zero percent deferred payment loans to eligible critical service workers. Per the
terms of the agreement, the grantee may reuse funds for these same activities until June 30, 2013. Funds returned to the
County from program participants after June 30, 2013 must be returned to the state. Therefore, this grant has been
recorded as a pass-through grant, with the County contingently liable for the return of these funds to the state at some
point in time after June 30, 2013. During Fiscal Year 2014, the County identified $69,569 in funds that were required to
be returned to the grantor per grant provisions. No funds were required to be returned in fiscal years 2015 thru 2019.

JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT (CONTINUED)
In accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type
Definitions, the County has committed certain fund balances for future construction projects. In the General Capital
Projects Fund, a total of $2,315,787 has been committed, including $1,048,242 for Economic Development, $707,412
for rubble surcharge, and $560,133 for site improvements pursuant to agreements with local developers. In the Roads
Capital Projects Fund, $574,251 has been contributed by developers and is committed to fund infrastructure
improvements.
Income Tax Contingency - On May 18, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States decided against the State of
Maryland in Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland v. Wynne Et Ux. Under state law, residents who pay income tax to
another state for income earned in that other state are allowed a credit against their Maryland state income tax but not
against the so-called piggy-back tax of the county or municipality where they reside. Plaintiffs argued that not granting a
credit against the local income tax is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. By a 5 to 4 vote, the Supreme Court found for
the plaintiffs holding generally that the state law violates what is known as the Dormant Commerce Clause. This decision
means that Maryland counties, including Queen Anne’s County, need to reserve funds against refund claims by certain
taxpayers (particularly S corporation shareholders) dating back to Tax Year 2007. The County estimates that it needs to
reserve $801,900 against these potential claims. The County plans to use $801,900 in existing reserves to finance such
claims. The County estimates that future loss of revenues as a result of the Wynne Case will be absorbed through the
normal budgeting process.
Based on the findings, Queen Anne’s County reduced the receivable from the State for income taxes and the offsetting
deferred inflows by the estimated fiscal impact for the County for tax years going back to 2009 which totaled $801,900
including interest. The adjustment does not change the total fund balance for the General Fund. Since the County already
received the money in income taxes in prior years, the amount of anticipated liability for the Wynne Case impact on the
County is assigned in the General Fund. When the State begins taking the funds back, the County will release the amount
from the assigned fund balance. The amount of anticipated liability is based on assessments provided by the Maryland
Comptroller’s Office and the County believes these figures to be within reason.
Under Maryland law, taxpayers are generally eligible for interest on certain tax refunds calculated at an annual rate of
interest equal to the greater of (i) three percentage points above the average prime rate of interest or (ii) 13%. In 2014,
the Maryland General Assembly adopted legislation that set the annual interest rate for an income tax refund that is a
result of the final decision under the Wynne case to a percent equal to the average prime rate of interest. This legislation
substantially lowers the interest rate on tax refunds due as a result of the Wynne decision. Further, the legislation was
intended to be effective retroactively. On November 13, 2015, lawyers for Michael J. Holzheid filed a class action
complaint, Michael J. Holzheid v. Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland, et al, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City
challenging the state legislation. Other taxpayers may also file claims or appeals challenging the state legislation. If such
claims or appeals are successful, the estimated amount of interest on refunds owed by the County would increase.
NOTE 18 – JOINT VENTURE
In 1991, the County Commissioners, in conjunction with Talbot, Caroline, and Kent Counties, entered into a regional
partnership known as the Midshore Regional Landfill Joint Venture. This venture was formed to provide a long-term,
solid waste management solution for the four-county area. As part of the agreement, each of the four Counties agreed to
host a solid waste facility for a twenty year period, giving the venture a total duration of eighty years. In 1991, the
Midshore Regional Landfill opened in Talbot County and served the waste management needs of the four-County area
for twenty years. This facility, owned and operated by the Maryland Environmental Service (MES), closed on December
31, 2010. The second Midshore facility, Midshore II, opened in Caroline County in January 2011 and is fully
operational. After the facility in Caroline County reaches capacity, another landfill will be constructed in Queen Anne's
County, with Kent County to follow in turn. Each County is required to, and has, set aside sufficient land to construct a
landfill within their borders. The agreement expires when the last of the four landfills is closed.

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 18 – JOINT VENTURE (CONTINUED)
Queen Anne’s County has a 35.69% financial interest in the Midshore Regional Landfill. In the event that expenditures
exceed revenues, the County is obligated to cover the deficiency in proportion to its financial interest; however, to date
additional funding from the County has not been required nor does management anticipate it.
During fiscal year 2011, the landfill located in Talbot County, Midshore I, was closed. As of June 30, 2019, total closure
and post closure costs for Midshore I was estimated at approximately $1.7 million. Midshore II, located in Caroline
County, was 22.91% filled. Closure and post closure costs for Midshore II are estimated at approximately $16.9 million.
Therefore, the total closure and post closure costs for both landfills are $18.6 million, with approximately $6.6 million
attributable to Queen Anne’s County. These costs are paid from tipping fees of acceptable waste delivered by or for the
account of the counties. It is currently expected that sufficient funds will be available from landfill revenues to pay future
closure and post closure costs. MES has accrued and reported a long-term liability of $5.6 million as of June 30, 2019,
determined by the estimated useful life of the landfill.
Similar to the post closure costs, each of the participating Counties is contingently liable for the debt related to the new
facility, Midshore II. Midshore II was funded with project revenue bonds totaling $26.8 million. As of June 30, 2019,
$9.5 million is attributable to Queen Anne’s County in the event of a default.
Each County is required to place its municipal waste in the landfill. The facility is also available to commercial waste
disposal firms at the same price per ton as charged to the County governments. Queen Anne's County paid $353,991 in
tipping fees to the facility during fiscal 2019.
MES has satisfied its financial assurance requirements based upon the local government financial ratio tests of the project
participants as of June 30, 2019. MES expects to satisfy these requirements as of June 30, 2020 using the same criteria.
Due to inflation and changes in technology, laws, and regulations, estimated closure and post closure care costs may
change in the future. Financial Statements of the Landfill can be obtained from MES located at 259 Najoles Road,
Millersville, MD 21108.
NOTE 19 – POLLUTION REMEDIATION OBLIGATIONS
During fiscal year 2009, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations.
During a prior fiscal year, 2003, the County agreed to a voluntary Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) testing program
for underground fuel tanks located at the County’s Department of Public Works’ fuel depot. This testing program was
and still is approved by the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE).
Since the testing program began in 2003, the County has incurred a total of $434 thousand in expenses, including $9
thousand in fiscal year 2019, to comply with the provisions of the program. Costs covered remediation work and
consulting fees; the latter for testing, studies, and monitoring. Remediation efforts included demolition and removal of
the existing fuel depot at the Public Works Centreville Shop; remediation of the soils via excavation; offsite controlled
disposal and backfill; installation of monitoring wells; in situ chemical oxidation and dual phase extraction; attorney’s
fees and miscellaneous environmental consulting services.
In May 2010, MDE requested the County devise a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to address contamination concerns at
the fuel depot site. In August 2010, MDE approved the County’s CAP work which included the installation of additional
monitoring wells and one year of monitoring, sampling, testing and furnishing of those reports to MDE.
In December of 2014, a leak was discovered at the 10,000 gallon fuel oil UST for the office building. MDE required the
removal of the tank and mitigation of the contaminated soils and ground water. The tank has been replaced with a
compliant above ground 1,500 gallon fuel oil storage tank. This work was completed, including compliant disposal of all
soils by May 2015. MDE subsequently directed the County to install two additional monitoring wells and to abandon the
former injection wells on-site.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
NOTE 19 – POLLUTION REMEDIATION OBLIGATIONS (CONTINUED)
During fiscal year 2019, the County and MDE met to again review the project data. From this meeting, MDE dictated
that the County would need to install three additional monitoring wells upstream (NE) to the existing wells, soil sampling
and disposal, and initial ground water sampling. These new wells will be monitored quarterly by Chesapeake
Geosciences for a period of no less than one year. The presence of LPH in MW-2A continues to be monitored, fluctuates
in depth, and currently appears to be recoverable only in minimal amounts. The County is to continue with the approved
MDE monitoring program. In addition, Chesapeake Geosciences will collect samples, test and provide reports both
quarterly for the new (3) wells and bi-annual for the existing (9) wells. The County will continue discussions with MDE
regarding the project closeout at the end of the first year schedule associated with the new monitoring wells.
The estimated costs over the next year are not material, and thus no liability has been recorded at this time. None of
these outlays met the requirements for capitalization noted in GASB Statement 49 and they were not capitalized.
NOTE 20 – PRIOR PERIOD RESTATEMENT
During fiscal year 2019, the County implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 73,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That are Not Within the Scope of GASB Statement
68, and in accordance, has applied its effects retroactively.

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS – OPEB PLAN
Actuarial assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2019, using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Investment Return: 6.00%, net of investment expense and including inflation
Healthcare Trend: 6.75% initially, grading down to 4.25% ultimate
Mortality rates are based on the PUB2010G Headcount tables with Scale SSA18 applied on a generational basis.
PUB2010G Headcount Disabled tables are used for those on disability, if applicable.
Changes in Actuarial assumptions
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the prior year, except the change in discount rate due to an
updated fund availability analysis and the change to the Mortality tables.
Actuarial Methods for Determining Employer Contributions
The same economic and demographic assumptions are used for both funding and financial reporting purposes under
GASB 74/75.
The Entry Age method is used for accounting/GASB purposes, therefore all of the actuarial figures within this Report
are based on it. Actuarially Determined Contributions are also based on the Entry Age method, with a closed level
percentage of payroll amortization of the unfunded liability (19 years remaining).

NON-MAJOR ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Non-Major Enterprise funds account for activities which are commercial in nature and are primarily or
partially intended to be self-supporting. Each fund sets its rates and service charges at a level sufficient to:
(1) meet all of its operating expenses; (2) provide for depreciation from wear and obsolescence of capital
assets; and (3) to the extent that funds are not borrowed, finance the cost of expansion of physical facilities.
-155-

NON-MAJOR ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Non-major enterprise funds include the following funds:
Blue Heron Golf Course – This fund accounts for operation and maintenance of an 18-hole public golf
course that is owned and operated by the County.
Public Landings and Marinas – This fund accounts for operation, maintenance, and major repairs of
public landings, bulkheads, and public marinas. For a fee, the general public has access to these landings to
launch small craft into the many waterways that surround the County and can also access the marinas for
temporary mooring.

NOTES:
* Government-wide net position information is reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
* Accounting standards require that net position be reported in three components in the financial
statements: net investment in capital assets, restricted; and unrestricted. Net
position is considered restricted when (1) an external party, such as the state or federal
government, places a restriction on how the resources may be used, or (2) enabling
legislation is enacted by the County.
* Source: Statement of Net Position
(1) In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported negative unrestricted amounts for some years.
This is due to the fact that the County issues general obligation bonded debt for purposes of capital construction on
behalf of the Queen Anne's County Board of Education. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would
have reported the following:
Government-wide unrestricted (deficit) net position would have been:
Unrestricted (deficit) net position reported above $ (45,795,597) $ (61,193,944) $ (32,095,241) $ (55,058,334) $ (62,448,098)
Debt issued for capital on behalf of others 57,677,186 72,437,047 68,278,842 63,283,726 6 7,651,486
County (deficit) net position absent the effect of this relationship $ 1 1,881,589 $ 1 1,243,103 $ 3 6,183,601 $ 8,225,392 $ 5 ,203,388
(2) In fiscal year 2013, the County consolidated two Enterprise funds into the General Fund. This consolidation resulted in a total net position change of $539,220 between Governmental Activities
and Business-type Activities. The FY2012 Net Position has been reclassified to show this change.
(3) FY2013 Net Position of Governmental Activities was restated in fiscal year 2014.
(4) FY2014 Net Position of Governmental and Business-Type Activities was restated in fiscal year 2015.

NOTES:
* Government-wide net position information is reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
* Source: Statement of Activities.
(1) Net (expense)/revenue is the difference between the expenses and program revenues of a function or program. It indicates
the degree to which a function or program is supported with its own fees and program-specific grants versus its reliance
upon funding from taxes and general revenues. Numbers in parentheses indicate that expenses were greater than program
revenues and therefore general revenues were needed to finance that function or program. Numbers without parentheses
mean that program revenues were more than sufficient to cover expenses.
(2) See Table 2-b for detail of General Tax Revenues.
(3) Beginning in FY12, Parks & Recreation governmental activities are included in public works.
(4) Prior to FY13, this section included data for the Golf Course, Recreation Programs, Public Landings,
and Property Management Funds. Beginning in FY13, this section only includes Golf Course Fund data.
(5) Prior to FY13, this section only included data for the Public Marinas Funds. Beginning in FY13, this section includes
data for both Public Marinas and Public Landings, as these funds were combined to form one fund.

NOTES:
(1) See Table 5 - Total Taxable Assessed Value.
(2) See Note 9 A - Changes in Noncurrent Liabilities.
(3) General Obligation Debt includes debt relating to the Sanitary District, because such debt is backed by the full faith
and credit of the County, but excludes all capital leases, which are collateralized by the equipment purchased with
such leases.
(4) See Table 14 - Population.
In May, 2013, as described in Note 9 E, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 13-04, thereby continuing
a local debt policy in compliance with Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
This policy requires that the County’s Director of Budget, Finance and Information Technology take the following steps:
(a) prepare a six-year capital project plan each year;
(b) propose an amount to be transferred from the General Fund operating balance to the General Capital Projects
Fund to serve as pay-as-you-go funding in the latter Fund, in order to lessen the need for future County debt;
(c) limit the County’s non-bonded indebtedness to $8.0 million for general operating expenses or capital
improvements;
(d) certify that the sum of outstanding general bonded debt and any new general obligation debt is 2.5% or less
of the total taxable assessed base and is $3,000 or less per capita; and
This policy also stipulates that although there is some flexibility as to the acceptable percentage of debt service to general fund
expenditures, and no absolute limit has been established by the rating agencies or the Government Finance Officers Association,
anything above 12% of total general fund expenditures would be a cause to carefully monitor debt service.
