FORMAL TRANSMITTAL OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHNSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR)

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 annual comprehensive financial report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for the fiscal year

ended June 30, 2022.

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 UHY LLP, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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.

5 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 50,747 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 Detention Center renovation, 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 and Finance. 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 and Finance 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 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

6 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 2022 rate for the County was 4.0%, compared to the state’s rate of 4.7% and the U.S.’s rate of 3.6%. The fiscal year 2022 average rate for the County was 3.7%. The decrease in the unemployment rate for fiscal year 2022 was the result of recovery from the COVID pandemic.

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 and income tax revenue increased when comparing current year to prior year for governmental funds. Property taxes increased in fiscal year 2022 by 1.6% to $75.9 million due to an increase in assessable base. Local income tax is the County’s other main revenue source. Income tax collections increased by 4.4% in fiscal year 2022, from $68.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to $71.0 million in fiscal year 2022 as a result of increased employment, capital gains and wages.

Recordation tax declined in fiscal year 2022 with a decrease of 6.7% over fiscal year 2021, from $11.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to $10.2 million in fiscal year 2022. The transfer tax revenue also decreased in fiscal year 2022 by 4.4%, from $4.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to $3.8 million in fiscal year 2022.

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 $13,363,377 in fiscal year 2022.

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 $730,492 in fiscal year 2022. The current balance of the Revenue Stabilization Fund is $8,352,110.

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 2023, prioritizes capital expenditures over these years to meet the County’s needs. The six-year program totals $236.1 million and includes: $39.7 million for the Detention Center renovation; $37.0 million for various Sanitary District projects (includes the Southern Kent Island Sewer Service at $22.4 million); $36.0 million for various school related projects (includes $14.7 million for Centreville Middle School

and $14.0 million for the board administration building); $30.8 million for Roads Board capital projects (includes $13.5 million for asphalt overlays); $21.3 million for Parks (includes $5.64 million for artificial turf and $5.4 million for phase two of the Cross County Connector project); $20.6 million for Administration and General Services (includes $6.0 million for Historic Courthouse); $12.4 million for Bay Bridge Airport; and $11.4 million for Department of Emergency 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 a 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 and Finance, is responsible for following certain procedures to ensure that debt limits established by the Policy are not 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.

8 For fiscal year 2022, Queen Anne’s County general obligation debt was 1.62% of the total taxable assessable base, and the per capita debt measurement was $2,848. The debt service was 8.3% 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County Centreville, Maryland Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype 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, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County, as of June 30, 2022, 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.

We did not audit the financial statements of the Queen Anne’s County Free Library (the “Library”) as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position, and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Library is

based solely on the report of the other auditors.

Basis for Opinions 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial

Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the County, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter During the year ended June 30, 2022, as discussed in Note 21, the County has a prior period restatement. In accordance with GASB no. 54, blended component units should not be reported in the General Fund and therefore the Roads Board was recharacterized as a separate fund, the Roads Operating Fund. In addition, as discussed in Note 10, the County adopted new accounting guidance GASB no. 87, “Leases”. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.

Responsibilities of Management 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, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair UHY-US.com | An independent member of UHY International

14 presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally

accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is

a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:

 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.

Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 County’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the County’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

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 (RSI), 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 have applied 15 certain limited procedures to the RSI 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.

Supplementary 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 other supplementary information (OSI), as listed in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. The OSI, as listed in the table of contents 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 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 OSI, as listed in the table of contents, is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other

information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 28, 2023, on our consideration of the County’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over

financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the County’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Salisbury, Maryland April 28, 2023 16 Management’s Discussion and Analysis Introduction This section of the Annual Comprehensive 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, 2022. 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.

17 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; 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, roads operating 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 six custodial funds. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much

like that used for proprietary funds except that the custodial 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.

18 Government-wide Financial Analysis Statement of Net Position A summary of government-wide assets, liabilities, and net position is as follows:

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Total 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Current and Other Assets $ 201,881,441 $ 164,597,173 $ 62,201,357 $ 54,611,035 $ 264,082,798 $ 219,208,208 Capital Assets 190,874,807 188,206,051 129,251,754 125,398,107 320,126,561 313,604,158 Total Assets 392,756,248 352,803,224 191,453,111 180,009,142 584,209,359 532,812,366 Total deferred Outflows of resources 18,706,064 10,082,413 1,651,620 793,303 20,357,684 10,875,716

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 2022 by $282.0 million.

Net position is divided into three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted amounts; and unrestricted amounts. By far the largest portion, $212.2 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 $53.2 million at June 30, 2022. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported a positive unrestricted amount of $70.8 million on its government-wide financial statements, rather

than the positive unrestricted net assets of $17.6 million reported herein. For a multi-year view of this calculation, see the Footnote presented in Table 1 of the Statistical Section.

An additional $52.5 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: $13.8 million related to general government services; $3.0 million for economic/community development; $4.7 million for public safety; and $2.5 million for conservation of natural resources. For business-type activities, this amount includes $2.5 million

restricted to meet Sanitary District debt covenants; $1.2 million for the Bay Bridge Airport debt service; and $1.5 million restricted to for other purposes for the Bay Bridge Airport.

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.

19 Statement of Activities The following table summarizes changes in net position for governmental and business-type activities during the year:

Revenues for governmental activities were $200.0 million for fiscal year 2022. The following chart depicts revenues by source for governmental activities:

 Taxes comprise the largest source of County revenue, totaling $171.8 million (85.9 percent) of total revenue for fiscal year 2022. Of that amount, property and local income tax together yielded $154.9 million (77.5 percent) of all revenue. Each County sets its own property and income tax rates, within parameters established by the State. For fiscal year 2022, 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.

 Operating grants and contributions, totaling $9.4 million, reflect grants from Federal and State agencies that support specific County programs. Programs that benefitted the most were: General Government ($2.9 million or 31.1 percent), Health and Social Services ($2.6 million or 27.7 percent), Public Safety ($2.3 million or 24.5 percent) and Economic/Community development ($1.5 million or 16.2 percent).

 Charges for services, totaling $10.5 million, reflect fees charged to County citizens. These primarily support public safety ($2.8 million or 26.5 percent), education and library ($2.4 million or 23.3 percent), general government ($2.4 million or 22.9 percent), parks and recreation ($1.1 million or 10.9 percent), and public works ($1.1 million or 10.8 percent).

 Capital grants and contributions, totaling $7.2 million, reflect contributions from Federal and State agencies, as well as developers. Programs that benefitted the most were: parks and recreation ($1.9 million or 27.1 percent), education and library ($1.8 million or 25.5 percent), general government ($1.2 million or 16.8 percent), conservation of natural resources ($1.1 million or 15.1 percent), and public

safety ($908 thousand or 12.5 percent).

21 Expenses for all governmental activities were $161.3 million for fiscal year 2022. The following chart depicts expenses by function for governmental activities:

As noted in the chart above and the table below, by far the County’s largest program and highest priority is education, with expenses totaling $69 million (42.8 percent). The following table summarizes costs and program-related revenues for the same programs in order of priority, yielding net service costs:

Of these outside entities, individuals who benefited directly from County programs were charged user fees of $10.5 million, while

governments and other organizations that benefited indirectly from these programs contributed operating grants of $9.4 million and capital grants of $7.2 million.

County taxpayers paid for most of the remaining $134.1 million in net program costs, through a variety of County taxes. Net program costs of services provided to the public, in order of net cost, were: $64.7 million for education and library; $26.9 million for public safety; $14.4 million for general government; $14.3 million for public works; $3.3 million for parks and recreation; $3.7 million for health and social services; $1.3 million

for conservation of natural resources; $1.1 million for economic and community development; and $4.4 22 million for interest and fiscal charges. 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 2022, governmental activities increased the County’s net position overall by $37.5 million, compared to an increase of $31.7 million in fiscal year 2021. The following discussion explains changes in net position relative to the prior fiscal year.

Revenues for governmental activities increased by $4.5 million (2.3 percent). The following key revenues changed, when compared to the prior fiscal year:

 Income taxes increased by $5.4 million (7.4 percent), from $73.5 million in fiscal year 2021 to $78.9 million in fiscal year 2022. This increase was the result of increased receipts from the State for the County’s portion of the income tax collections, capital gains and wage increases.

 Operating grants and contributions decreased by $5.1 million (35.2 percent), from $14.5 million in fiscal year 2021 to $9.4 million in fiscal year 2022. The entire decrease is the result of a decrease in grant funding provided by the Federal Government to assist the County in navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Capital grants and contributions increased by $1.7 million (31.2 percent), from $5.5 million in fiscal year 2021 to $7.2 million in fiscal year 2022. The main result of this increase was a capital grant for $1.2 million received for parks for athletic field work.

 Property taxes increased by $1.5 million (2.1 percent), from $74.5 million in fiscal year 2021 to $76.0 million in fiscal year 2022 due to an increase in property assessments.

 County transfer taxes increased $1.5 million (37.9 percent), from $4.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to $5.5 million in fiscal year 2022. This increase is also a result of rising prices and demand in the housing market.

 Loss on sale of capital assets decreased $1.3 million (1309.2 percent), from $95 thousand in fiscal year 2021 to -$1.2 million in fiscal year 2022. This decrease consists of the following: $642 thousand disposal of buildings during construction, $244 thousand due to CIP write off to a project not resulting in an asset, and $146 thousand of fiber network asset disposal not owned by the county.

Expenses for governmental activities decreased by $2.3 million (1.4 percent). Key positive and negative expense changes, in order of relative importance, are:

 Economic and Community Development decreased by $2.2 million (42.8 percent), mainly resulting from the decrease in COVID related expenditures.

 Conservation of Natural Resources decreased by $1.2 million (33.7 percent), due to the decrease of rural legacy easements. Generally, the timing of easements purchased is affected by the evaluation of the identified land, as well as the availability of State funds.

 Public Works increased by $1.6 million (11.4 percent). $900 thousand of this increase was due to expenses associated with Roads capital projects in the Asphalt project, which varies due to timing of road maintenance. The remaining increase was in various department throughout the county.

23 Business-type activities:

Revenues, transfers in, and expenses for business-type activities were $26.8 million, $1.2 million, and $14.6 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2022. The following two charts depict revenues by source and expenses by service for business-type activities:

Business-type activities increased the County’s net position altogether by $13.5 million in fiscal year 2022, which is $5.1 million more than the prior year’s increase of $8.4 million. The fiscal year 2022 change in net position resulted primarily from:

 Operating Revenues before transfers increased by $3.9 million (16.8 percent), from $23.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to $26.8 million in fiscal year 2022, for all business-type activities. Operating grants and contributions decreased by $3.1 million, mainly due to decreased intergovernmental grant funding in the Sanitary district. Charges for services increased by $5.9 million primarily due to an increase in

the Sanitary district restricted funds which had higher allocation fees than in fiscal year 2021. Capital grants and contributions increased by $366 thousand mainly due to Sanitary District SKI development phase 2.

24  Operating Expenses decreased by $164 thousand (-1.1 percent), from $14.7 million in fiscal year 2021 to $14.6 million in fiscal year 2022, for all business-type activities. The main reason for the decrease was public landings decreased by $555 thousand (50.3 percent) which is related to the Corsica river dredging project that was completed in fiscal year 2021. Water and sewer activities increase by $227

thousand (1.9 percent) mainly due to an increase in supplies and materials.

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 $154.6 million, compared to $129.8 million for the prior year. Approximately 20.8 percent of this total ($32.1 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending.

The total unassigned fund balance of $32.1 million is comprised of $32.1 million of positive unassigned fund balance for the general fund.

The nonspendable fund balance of $1.4 million which is not available for spending and includes amounts related to inventory and prepaid items. Restricted fund balance of $40.1 million (25.9 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 $13.4 million for the rainy day fund.

Committed fund balance of $35.4 million (22.9 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 $8.4 million for the revenue stabilization fund.

The remaining $45.6 million of fund balance (29.5 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 $59.9 million, which is an increase of $10.8 million (17 percent) from the fiscal year 2021 balance of $49.1 million. Of the $10.8 million increase, local property tax increased by $1.5 million (2.1 percent) as a result of higher than anticipated new construction, including several

new commercial properties in the Kent Narrows area and the quicker-than-expected expansion of a large subdivisions on Kent Island, local income tax $5.4 million (7.4 percent) due to increase in wage rates and capital gains.

Of the total $59.9 million in fund balance, $32.1 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, $13.4 million of rainy

day funds are included in the General Fund’s restricted fund balance of $17.8 million for fiscal year 2022. The remaining fund balance is comprised of $48 thousand in nonspendable, $8.4 million in committed, and $1.5 million of assigned.

For further explanations of General Fund revenues and expenditures, see the General Fund Budgetary Highlights section of this MD&A.

25 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, 2022, the General Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $58.7 million, compared to $46.5 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. The $58.7 million in total fund balance is comprised of $16.4 million in restricted fund balance, mainly for unspent bond proceeds, $4.6 million of fund balance committed for specific projects, and $37.7 million of assigned fund balance. The increase in General Capital Projects fund

balance resulted from the transfer in from the General Fund, which will be used to fund future capital projects.

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, 2022, the Roads Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $6.1 million, compared to $6.4 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Of this total $6.1 million fund balance, $5.6 million has been assigned to fund ongoing projects, while $553 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 2022 amounted to $30.2 million, which is $9.3 million more than the prior year. Net investment in capital assets also increased by $4.0 million.

Total net position of the Sanitary District amounted to $105.0 million at the end of fiscal year 2022, which increased by $12.3 million when compared to the prior year.

The unrestricted net position of the Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund at year end amounted to negative $1.2 million, reflecting a decrease of $130 thousand. The investment in capital assets for the Bay Bridge Airport increased by $250 thousand in the current fiscal year. In addition, the restricted amount for other purposes decreased by $120 thousand.

Total net position of the Bay Bridge Airport amounted to $15.7 million at the end of fiscal year 2022, which is an increase of $255 thousand from the prior year amount of $15.4 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 $172.2 million. Amendments increased spending authority by $16.3 million during fiscal year 2022, when compared to the original budget of $155.9 million.

Major components of these expenditure budget increases are as follows:

26  Budgeted Transfers Out to General Capital Projects increased by $12.0 million from the original budget during the year and budgeted transfers out to Roads Operating Fund increased by $4.4 million from the original budget. 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 Transfers Out to the Agricultural Transfer Tax Fund increased by $1.2 million from the original budget, resulting from additional easements available and purchased during the fiscal year.

Budget to Actual Comparisons: Actual revenues for the General Fund, including other financing sources and before appropriated fund balance were more than final budgetary estimates by $5.8 million.

Actual expenditures, and other financing uses, were less than final budgetary appropriations by $5.5 million.

The net effect of these two disparities was a positive variance of actual to final budget of $11.4 million.

The most noteworthy differences between final budgeted amounts and actual amounts are summarized as follows:

Revenues:

 Local Property Tax revenue was $2.1 million more than the final budget (2.9 percent) due to a higher than anticipated increase in assessments.

 Charges for Current Services revenue was $1.2 million more than the final budget (44.2 percent), this increase was mainly due to the EMS Supplemental Payment Program Audit that unexpectedly increased Public Safety User Fees.

 Miscellaneous revenue was $1.0 million more than the final budget (213 percent), this was a result from our Workmen’s Compensation audit that resulted in the County receiving a credit.

Expenditures:

 Final Budgeted Salaries and Benefits were $41.9 million for the year, while actual costs were $42.2 million. They were overspent at year-end by $278 thousand (.6 percent). Budgeted salaries and benefits include reversions of $1.0 million. Absent the budget for reversions, actual costs were $722 thousand less than budget. The savings were recognized in multiple departments due to vacant positions.

 Final Budgeted Other Operating Charges were $130.3 million for the year, while actual costs were $124.5 million. These costs were lower than budget at year end by $5.8 million (4.5 percent). Operating Charges include contracted services, supplies, other charges, debt service, and transfers out.

o Transfers Out were underspent by $2.7 million, due to savings realized by Roads ($1.3 million) the Department of Aging ($1.0 million), Golf Course Enterprise Fund ($195 thousand), and Housing and Community Services ($144 thousand) which allowed these departments to forgo this portion of their appropriation.

o Other Charges were underspent by $2.0 million. Savings were realized in Roads ($1.4 million), Contingencies ($221 thousand), Benefits ($180 thousand), and Intergovernmental ($145 thousand). The remaining savings for other charges were spread throughout the General Fund.

o Contracted Services were underspent by $302 thousand, with the largest savings realized by Detention Center ($157 thousand), Information Technology ($135 thousand), and Elections ($102 thousand). Roads makes up the difference by and going over budget by $97 thousand.

o Debt Service was underspent by $231 thousand, which resulted from actual debt service for the 2021 bonds being lower than estimated.

27 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, 2022 amounted to $320.1 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land and land improvements, intangible rights, construction in progress, buildings, improvements other than buildings, infrastructure, autos, machinery, and equipment. The total

increase in the County’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $6.5 million or 2.1%.

Long-term debt: At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government had total bonded debt, loans, OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits), net pension liability, LOSAP (Volunteer Fireman Pension Plan Length of Service Award Program), compensated absence obligations, and lease obligations of $262.3 million for its governmental and business-type activities.

The full faith, credit and unlimited taxing power of the County are irrevocably pledged to the levy and collection of taxes in order to provide for the payment of principal and interest due on the bonded debt.

Of this $262.3 million in debt, $45.4 million is considered to be self-supporting, in that obligations of the County’s enterprise funds will be funded through charges and assessments related to the operations of those funds. In addition, the Sanitary District’s Debt Service Fund holds total assets of $2.5 million, which are restricted to payment of the Sanitary District’s subsequent year’s debt. See Note 11 for restricted assets and

subsequent year debt service obligations.

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, 2022

Net change in fund balance - Governmental Funds $ 24,804,734 Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of capital assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives of those assets through an annual depreciation charge. The differences are as follows:

Current year additions of capital assets 10,900,285 Current year disposals of capital assets (2,081,014) Depreciation expenses recorded in the Statement of Activities (6,150,515) 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 (212,238) Accrued interest related to lease receivable 163 Lease receivable 909,552 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 73,941 Change in Income Tax Deferred Inflows 7,878,555 Change in Loans receivable deferred (35,478) 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.

As part of an employee contract of a past employee, the County is responsible for a death benefit of $250,000 plus inflation.

This liability will remain until the payment is made.

Change in liability for the retirement incentive and employee contracts 6,878 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 Position, issuing debt increases long term liabilities, while repayment reduces those liabilities.

Retirements and repayments made on long term debt 8,255,699 Proceeds of debt (7,800,000) Bond Premium amortization 422,111 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.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2022

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 as a governmental fund.

Discretely Presented Component Units Component 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.

Therefore, this statement reflects both the gross and net costs per functional category (general government; public safety; public works; parks and recreation; 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-toactual comparison is provided for the General Fund on a departmental level as required supplementary information, and for all nonmajor 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.

(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. Custodial funds report assets, liabilities, and changes in net position.

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 eighteen non-major governmental funds, which are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources. Included in the eighteen non-major governmental funds are fifteen 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 8,400 customers.

Water Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the water supply system serving approximately 4,700 customers.

Restricted Fund - This fund is used to account for the proceeds of sewer and water capacity charges (onetime 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.

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 only accounts for the Queen Anne’s County portion of the MACo (Maryland Association of Counties) pooled OPEB Investment Trust Fund.

Custodial Funds - These funds are used to account for deposits that are collected and held on behalf of individuals, organizations, and other governments. These monies include escrow deposits for tax ditches, zoning deposits, state and town tax collections, motor vehicle administration deposits, abandoned property, and inmate welfare funds.

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.

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.

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 5 – 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 assets 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 assets 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)

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. In both the governmentwide and enterprise funds, the liability for OPEB is adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. Additional details regarding OPEB can be found in Notes 9 and 15.

7) Net Pension Liability

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.

8) Volunteer Fireman Pension Plan Length of Service Award Program (LOSAP)

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.

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.

Component Unit - Board of Education –The Board accrues a liability for compensated absences (vacation pay) employees have earned but have not been paid. The Board adopted the practice of paying for any unused vacation time, up to the maximum amounts employees can carry over from one year to the next, upon the termination of employment. The full amount of this obligation has been provided for in the statement of net

position.

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 surplus of $17,599,887. 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 the unrestricted net assets in the Governmental Activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position. At June 30, 2022, the County has reported outstanding general obligation debt related to assets held by the Board of Education amounting to $53,155,457 (of which $47,741,447 has been spent and the remaining $5,414,010

relates to unspent bond proceeds).

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, 2022, 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:

Governmental Business-type Amounts Restricted for: Activities Activities General government $ 13,831,732 $ - Economic/community development 2,954,185 - Public safety 4,725,517 - Conservation of natural resources 2,499,815 - Social services 1,460 - Debt service - 3,772,690 Other Purposes - 1,538,008 Total amounts restricted $ 24,012,709 $ 5,310,698 Note that unspent bond proceeds of $16,096,347 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.

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 and the following non-major governmental funds:

Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, Grants Fund, Economic Development Incentive, Roads Operating, 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, 2022.

However, salary reversions are budgeted as a lump sum negative $1,000,000, 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 $107,671,897 with local banks (carrying value $108,294,281), all of which was covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral held by the County’s agent 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, 2022, the County had investments in MLGIP of $77,427,184, which are recorded at cost, which

approximates fair value.

As of June 30, 2022, 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 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, 2022, the weighted average maturity (WAM) for the Trust’s money market mutual fund investment was 13 days. At June 30, 2022, 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, 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 U.S. GAAP. 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, 2022, of which Queen Anne’s County’s portion was 21.8% of the total:

Total $ 38,476,930 $ 21,964,971 $ - $ 60,441,901 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, 2022 was 10.39 years.

Credit Risk. The Trust is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in fair value, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract. Trust assets may only be invested in investment grade bonds with a minimum rating of Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by S&P. The Trust bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the fair value of its respective investments. At June 30, 2022 the ratings of the underlying investments of the Trust’s

investments were as follows:

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 management activities. All of the investments held by the Trust at June 30, 2022 were exposed to custodial credit risk as the investments are uninsured and unregistered.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate of investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Trust was not exposed to Foreign Currency risk as of June 30, 2022 as the Trust did not have any investments denominated in foreign currencies.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, the annual money-weighted rate of return on investments, net of expense, was -4.69%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expenses, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

Capital Accounts The Trust accounts for contributions, allocations and redemptions on a per member capital account basis. The revenues, consulting and management fees, and administrative service fee are allocated pro rata to the capital accounts of each member based on committed capital. The fair value of member capital accounts is determined monthly.

Income Taxes 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 an Empower Retirement General Investment Account (GIA). The GIA, backed by Empower Retirement’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.

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, 2022 is $4,335,237 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.

COMPONENT UNITS (BOARD OF EDUCATION AND LIBRARY)

Component Unit - Board of Education - At year-end, the carrying amount of deposits was $18,598,470, including $300,000 in certificates of deposit and excluding the carrying amount of fiduciary funds.

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 is $37,316. 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 the receivable related to Chesapeake College, there is also a receivable of $3.3 million included in the

Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. Details are included on the previous page.

Loans receivable in the amount of $6,177,161 relate to the Housing and Community Services, Impact Fees, and Revolving Loan Special Revenue Funds. Loans receivable in the amount of $5,738,051 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 $102,967 are also repaid over a number of years.

The remaining loan receivable balance of $336,143 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.

A loan receivable in the amount of $86,621 relates to the Sanitary Sewer Operations Fund. In fiscal year 2021, the County contracted with the Town of Sudlersville and agreed to provide certain operation and maintenance services of the wastewater and water treatment facilities for the Town. As part of the contract, the County agreed to make up to $100,000 available as a loan to the Town to make necessary repairs to the wastewater plants. The Town of Sudlersville shall repay the loan to the

County without interest in 48 equal monthly installments commencing in February 2022.

Income taxes held by the State in the amount of $34,832,444 have been estimated by the State as income tax due to the County.

Local income tax revenue is collected by the State and distributed to the local governments throughout the year. The State’s distribution of the County’s share of income taxes lags behind the County’s fiscal year. 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 $686,891 represent receivables for governmental activities. Part of this amount consists of $32,802 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 $654,089 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 $15,743,408 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 8 - INTERFUND TRANSFERS

Interfund transfers represent a transfer of resources from one fund to another without expectation of repayment. Usually, these transfers are undertaken to enable the receiving entity to provide services that the government has determined to be in the best interest of the County.

The transfers from the General Fund provide funding for capital projects and to fund programs in the non-major special revenue funds. Transfers from the General Fund to the enterprise funds are to pay for a portion of debt service related to an Airport project and also to provide funding to the Golf Course Fund. Transfers from General Capital Projects represent a miscellaneous transfer to the General Fund. Transfers from Water and Sewer Sanitary District funds are to provide funding

for the County mapping project. The transfers from Restricted and Debt Service Sanitary funds are to cover Sanitary related debt service.

The following interfund transfers were made during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022:

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 16.

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, OPEB is reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, OPEB is reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges

the majority of their productive time. OPEB costs in governmental funds are charged to the General Fund. Additional information can be found in Note 15, 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 13, 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.

C. ISSUANCE OF NEW DEBT

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT

In May 2022, Queen Anne's County issued Public Facilities Bonds of 2022 for $7,800,000. These General Obligation Bonds carry interest rates of 3.375 to 5.0 percent and mature serially through 2043. The primary use of the bond proceeds is to provide funding for the various County facility renovations, the Kent Island Public Library expansion, 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 2022 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 2022, the County received $2,023,414 as part of this loan. The total amount

outstanding as of June 30, 2022 was $28,396,987. The SKI project was completed in 2022 and $1,267,000 of the loan with the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration was forgiven.

D. 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 and Finance: (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 payas-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.

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.

JUNE 30, 2022

NOTE 11 – RESTRICTED ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCES (CONTINUED) 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.

The assets and related liabilities restricted for the above purposes at June 30, 2022 are as follows:

NOTE 12 - 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 2022 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 13 - 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. Currently, the System has 153 participating employers in addition to the State.

The State of Maryland is the statutory guarantor for the payment of all pensions, annuities, retirement allowances, refunds, reserves, and other benefits of the System. The State is obligated to annually pay into the accumulation fund of each State system at least an amount that, when combined with the State’s accumulation funds, is sufficient to provide benefits payable under each plan during that fiscal year. The System is accounted for as one defined benefit plan as defined in accordance

with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, the System is fiscally dependent on the State by virtue of the legislative and executive controls exercised with respect to its operations, policies, and administrative budget. Accordingly, the System is included in the State’s reporting entity and disclosed in its financial statements as a pension trust fund.

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 Queen Anne’s County:

Elected officials Employees System Sheriff’s Deputies LEOPS Regular employees Employees System The System is a cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan.

Covered Members Teachers’ Retirement System 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 System 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 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.

The member contribution rate for members of the Teachers’ Retirement Pension System and Employees’ Retirement Pension System is 7% and 6% respectively, and 7% for members of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension system. The member contribution rate for members of the Judges’ Retirement System is 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 fair 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 during fiscal year 2021, 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.

NOTE 13 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

A member of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Pension System is eligible for full retirement benefits upon the earlier of attaining age 50 or accumulating 25 years of eligibility service regardless of age. The annual retirement allowance for a 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.

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 fair 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 fair 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, 2021 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement.

Inflation In the 2021 actuarial valuation, 2.25% general, 2.75% wage.

In the 2020 actuarial valuation, 2.60% general , 3.10% wage.

Salary Increases In the 2021 actuarial valuation, 2.75% to 9.25%.

In the 2020 actuarial valuation, 3.10% to 11.6%.

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 Asset Class Target Allocation Rate of Return Public Equity 37% 4.7% Private Equity 13% 6.5% Rate Sensitive 19% -0.4% Credit Opportunity 9% 2.6% Real Assets 14% 4.2% Absolute Return 8% 2.0% 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, 2021.

For the years ended June 30, 2021, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of the pension plan investment expense, was 26.69%. 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 6.80% 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 6.80%. 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.

In accordance with Maryland Senate Bill 1301, Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2012, the Board is required to pay the State 100% 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 related payment for fiscal year ending 2022 was $2,292,144. In addition, the State of Maryland contributed $6,007,540 on behalf of the Board. The Board

has recognized the State on-behalf payments as both a revenue and expense.

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, 2022, 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, 2021, 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 in accordance with the provisions of GASB No. 67.

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.

NOTE 14 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The County offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all County employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.

Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.

All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan; all property and rights purchased with those amounts; and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are solely the property and rights of the participants. The County has no liability for losses under the plan.

Investments are managed by the plan’s administrator based on several different investment options, or combinations thereof.

The choice of the investment option(s) to be used is made by each participant. The County has no management control over the assets of the plan. Accordingly, per GASB Statement No. 32, the assets of the plan are not included in these financial statements.

Plan Reporting The measurement date for GASB 74 is the Employer’s fiscal year end, June 30, 2022. 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, 2022, with adjustments made for the 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.

 Investment Return: 6.00%, net of investment expense and including inflation  Healthcare Trend: 5.75% initially, grading down to 4.25% for PPO and EPO plans and 4.50% for BCA plan ultimate Mortality rates are based on the PUB2010G Headcount tables with Scale SSA 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.

Actuarial Informtion (Continued) 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, 2022, and the final investment return assumption, are summarized in the following table:

Long-Term Expected Real Asset Class Rate of Return Weight US Equity 5.85% 36.0% International Equity 6.25% 24.0% Fixed Income 2.00% 35.0% Real Estate 4.95% 5.0% Total Weighted Average Real Return 4.55% 100.0% Plus Inflation 2.50% Total Return w/o Adjustment 7.05% Risk Adjustment -1.05% Total Expected Return 6.00% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 5.90%. The County’s funding expectations/policy is to

contribute 90% of the Actuarially Determined Contribution in fiscal year 2022, then increase this percentage 100% in fiscal year 2023 and going forward. 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 2028, then from the trust there forward.

Therefore, the expected trust return of 6.00% is blended with the 20-year Aa bond rate* of 3.69%. The blended rate is 5.90%.

The prior rate was 5.82%.

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 January 1, 2020, 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 50% 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, 2022, the Board recognized an OPEB expense of $6,890,018.

The Board’s total OPEB liability is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 75. The total OPEB liability is calculated using a measurement date of June 30, 2021. Therefore, plan information for the year ended June 30, 2021 is utilized.

Payments have typically been liquated from the General Fund in prior years.

Funding Status and Funding Progress 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, 2021 measurement date for fiscal year-end 2022. 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 2017 through January 2020 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 January 1, 2020.

 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 1.92% as of June 30, 2021.

 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 1.5% Extra trend due to technology and other factors 1.1% Expected health share of GDP in 2020 20.0% Health Share of GDP Resistance Point 25.0% Year for limiting cost growth to GDP growth 2075  Salary Scale – State of Maryland salary scale assumption for teachers.

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”). In August 2020, the Trust was closed and all members transferred their respective funds to the MACo (Maryland Association of Counties) Pooled OPEB Investment Trust Fund. A separate “Trust document for the MACo OPEB Trust can be found on the MACo website at

www.mdcounties.org.

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).

Employees covered by benefit terms The following is a summary of plan membership as of January 1, 2021.

Active 16 Retired 8 Total 24 Contributions The Library pays retiree healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Library contributed $30,126.

Net OPEB liability The Library's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation January 1, 2021.

Actuarial assumptions The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2021, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods in the measurement:

Expected return – 6% including inflation and net of investment expenses.

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 SSA 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 depletion analysis.

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 (17 years remaining).

Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 4.00%. There is essentially no prefunding of benefits in an OPEB trust for this plan (i.e., pay as you go), however, the Library has funds invested in the MACo pooled OPEB Trust. For this analysis, we assumed the trust assets would grow with earnings until a 60% funding ratio is reached. Based on this, a blended rate was developed which consists of the 20-year municipal bond Aa index as of June 30, 2022 of 3.69% blended

with the assumed return of 6.00%.

Benefits would be paid from the trust from 2050 to 2059, and from general fund assets before and after this time period, resulting in a blended rate of 4.0%. The prior rate was 2.4%.

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. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation process, by which a (downward) risk adjustment is applied to the baseline expected return.

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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, 2022

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 2022.

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 2022.

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 $4,642,352 has been committed, including $2,821,067 for Economic Development, $1,076,841 for site improvements pursuant to agreements with local developers, and $744,444 for rubble surcharge. In the Roads Capital

Projects Fund, $553,088 has been contributed by developers and is committed to fund infrastructure improvements.

The Library has begun an expansion and renovation of the Kent Island branch for an estimated cost of $9,903,000 including equipment of $640,000. The project is being financed in part by grants from the Maryland State Library of $3,955,000 with a 100% match being paid by Queen Anne’s County. During the year ended June 30, 2022, grant proceeds of $2,116,454 were received from the Maryland State Library and passed through to Queen Anne’s County.

The County is a defendant in various lawsuits. After considering all relevant facts and the opinion of legal counsel, it is management’s opinion that such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the County.

NOTE 19 – 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 has a 35.65% financial interest in the Midshore Regional Landfill. If 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.

Total closure and post closure costs for the landfills are $18.8 million, with approximately $6.7 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 $7.3 million as of June 30, 2022, 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 $21.3 million. As of June 30, 2022, $7.6 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.

MES has satisfied its financial assurance requirements based upon the local government financial ratio tests of the project participants as of June 30, 2022. MES expects to satisfy these requirements as of June 30, 2022 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 20 – 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).

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.

During fiscal year 2022, the County has maintained the required testing of all monitoring wells. The set testing schedule was dictated my MDE, followed by Queen Anne’s County and data recorded as per the schedule. During the February 10th, 2022, testing of all wells, LPH was detected in monitoring well MW-11. During the March 11th, 2022, testing of all wells, LPH was then detected in monitoring well MW-9. These two wells had never had any LPH detection until after the Maryland state

project in replacing the USTs at the State Police “S” Barracks started a few months back – Fall of 2021. The presence of LPH in MW-2A, MW-11, and MW-9 continues to be monitored, fluctuates in depth, and currently appears to be recoverable only in minimal amounts.

The County will continue to follow the schedule and monitor the wells as it has been doing for the past years. Also, the County will continue to provide a monthly report to MDE showing the data found during the monitoring processes. As applied, the following schedule is as follows: monitoring well MW-2A is tested every week. All monitoring wells are tested once a month.

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.

Actuarial Information - OPEB Actuarial assumptions The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2021, 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: 5.75% initially for all plans, grading down to 4.25% for PPO and EPO plans and 4.50% for BCA plan ultimate.

Mortality rates are based on the PUB2010G Headcount tables with Scale SSA 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.

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).

STATISTICAL SECTION

The Statistical Section, which fully incorporates information mandated by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section, presents detailed information for the primary government in the following areas, as a context for understanding what the information in the Financial Section says about the County’s overall financial health:

FINANCIAL TRENDS – Information to help the reader understand how the County’s financial performance and well-being have changed over time.

REVENUE CAPACITY – Information to help the reader assess the County’s most significant local revenue sources – the property tax and income tax.

DEBT CAPACITY – Information to help the reader assess the affordability of the County’s current levels of outstanding debt and the County’s ability to issue additional debt in the future.

DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC INFORMATION – Indicators to help the reader understand the environment within which the County’s financial activities take place.

OPERATING INFORMATION – Service and infrastructure data to help the reader understand how the information in the County’s financial report relates to the services the County provides and the activities it performs.

Many of these tables cover more than two fiscal years and present data from outside the accounting records. Therefore, the Statistical Section is unaudited.

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 $ (55,058,334) $ (62,448,098) $ (64,989,504) $ (68,327,344) $ (63,073,042) Debt issued for capital on behalf of others 63,283,726 67,651,486 66,219,608 63,271,304 59,207,136 County (deficit) net position absent the effect of this relationship $ 8,225,392 $ 5,203,388 $ 1,230,104 $ (5,056,040) $ (3,865,906)

(2) FY2013 Net Position of Governmental Activities was restated in fiscal year 2014.

(3) 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) For years FY12 through FY19, Parks & Recreation governmental activities are included in public works (parks) and social services (recreation).

(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.

CALCULATION PER FIRST FINANCIAL CRITERIA:

The sum of all outstanding and new general obligation and/or bonded debt is 2.5% or less of the total taxable assessed base.

Total Taxable Assessed Base (1) $ 7,620,480,255 $ 7,540,259,768 $ 7,568,705,234 $ 7,626,510,532 $ 7,792,264,218 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% of Total Taxable Assessed Base $ 190,512,006 $ 188,506,494 $ 189,217,631 $ 190,662,763 $ 194,806,605 LESS Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt applicable to limit (2) (3) Enterprise Funds' Debt - Bonds $ 2,490,475 $ 2,053,736 $ 3,540,295 $ 3,520,859 $ 3,217,479

CALCULATION PER SECOND FINANCIAL CRITERIA:

The sum of all outstanding and new general obligation and/or bonded debt is $3,000 or less per capita.

Total County Population (4) 48,650 48,650 48,804 48,517 48,904 $3,000 Per Capita $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 3,000 $ 145,950,000 $ 145,950,000 $ 146,412,000 $ 145,551,000 $ 146,712,000 LESS Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt (1) $ 93,729,330 $ 110,895,455 $ 116,385,133 $ 124,411,967 $ 128,435,061 $3,000 Per Capita in Excess of Total Outstanding and New General Obligation Debt $ 52,220,670 $ 35,054,545 $ 3 0,026,867 $ 21,139,033 $ 18,276,939

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 and Finance to 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.
