December 21, 2011 The Board of County Commissioners and The Citizens of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland Formal Transmittal of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) State law requires that all general-purpose governments publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
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 Clifton Gunderson 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, 2011, 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 unqualified opinion that Queen Anne’s County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
- 1 -
The independent audit of the financial statements of Queen Anne’s County is part of a broader, federally mandated, “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal
controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in Queen Anne’s County’s separately issued Single Audit report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis, entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement 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 47,899 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, and certain recreational facilities as Enterprise Funds.
The appropriated annual budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g. public safety), and department (e.g. detention center). 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 requires 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 and the roads board are presented on pages 115 to 120 as part of the Required Supplementary Information portion of this report. For non-major funds with appropriated annual budgets, budget to actual comparisons are presented in the Supplementary Information subsection of this report on pages 134 to 138; on page 143; and on pages 172 to 173.

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 2011 rate for the County was 7.0%, compared to the state’s rate of 7.4% and the U.S.’s rate of 9.2%. The 2011 average rate for the County was 6.7%.
Unemployment Rate 10.0% 9.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% Jun‐05 Dec‐05 Jun‐06 Dec‐06 Jun‐07 Dec‐07 Jun‐08 Dec‐08 Jun‐09 Dec‐09 Jun‐10 Dec‐10 Jun‐11 Queen Anne's County Maryland United States
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.
Three of the five 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 nearly 60% of the workforce to commute to locations outside the County, primarily to higher paying jobs in the Baltimore and Washington areas.
Property taxes increased by 1.4% in fiscal year 2011. In the fiscal year 2012 budget, there is a projected 9.6% increase in property tax revenue, due to the increase in the property tax rate, from $0.7671 to $0.8471 per $100 of assessed value, effective July 1, 2011. Local income tax is the County’s other main revenue source. Income tax collections were relatively stable in fiscal year 2011, when compared to the previous year, with a decrease of less than one
percent. Due to an increase in the income tax rate, the fiscal year 2012 projections for income tax represent a 5.3% increase from fiscal year 2011 collections. The rate increased from 2.85% to 3.2%, effective January 1, 2012.
County revenues related to housing activity continue to be affected by the bursting of the real estate bubble that began in fiscal year 2006. Recordation tax revenue, a leading indicator of the health of the local real estate market, decreased by 3.3% from the prior fiscal year.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Rainy Day Fund – In calendar year 2002, the County adopted Ordinance No. 02-08 to establish a Rainy Day Fund. The ordinance required that the County maintain a fund balance reserve for contingencies in an amount equal to 7% of general fund operating revenues budgeted for the following fiscal year. In fiscal year 2011, the County adopted Ordinance No.
11-05, which served the purpose of eliminating the requirements for reserve fund balance for contingencies in Queen Anne’s County which are not in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54. Therefore, for the year ended June 30, 2011, Queen Anne’s County does not have a rainy day fund. However, the County Commissioners are working with the Finance Office in efforts to reestablish sufficient levels of
reserves in compliance with GASB requirements.
Capital Projects - The County Commissioners’ six-year capital program, starting with fiscal year 2012, prioritizes capital expenditures over these years to meet the County’s needs. The six-year program includes: $13.5 million for renovation of various school facilities; $12.6 million for the Bay Bridge Airport; $8.9 million for emergency services; and $6.3 million for a new community swimming pool. Offsetting nearly 97% of the Airport’s capital costs, $12.2 million in
grants and other non-operating, non-debt resources are anticipated. Another $6.3 million in grants will cover 100% of the costs for the community swimming pool.
Task Force on Government Sustainability – On December 28, 2010, the Commissioners established a Task Force on Government Sustainability, which consisted of seven citizens and two commissioner representatives tasked with reviewing existing County functions/services and recommending steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of County government. The Task Force was divided into three subcommittees: County functions, Public Safety, and Board
of Education. Each subcommittee reviewed vital topics and presented recommendations to the County Commissioners. Before issuing the recommendations, the Task Force met publically on eleven separate occasions. The recommendations were considered as part of the Commissioners’ budget deliberations, and incorporated into the adoption of the fiscal year 2012 budget.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Bond Ratings - The financial policies and management practices of Queen Anne’s County were recognized by two major rating agencies. Fitch Rating Service issued an AA+ bond rating and Moody’s issued a rating of Aa2.
Debt Management Policy – In calendar year 2009, the County adopted Resolution 09-13, which establishes the County’s Local Dept Policy. In accordance with this policy, the Director of 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.
For fiscal year 2011, Queen Anne’s County general obligation debt was 1.38% of the total taxable assessable base, and the per capita debt measurement was $2,236. Both thresholds are well below the policy limits. In addition, general bonded debt outstanding, as a percentage of total taxable assessable base, has improved over the last ten fiscal years, from 1.88% in fiscal year 2002 to 1.38% in fiscal year 2011.

Independent Auditor’s Report The Board of Commissioners of Queen Anne's County, Maryland Centreville, Maryland We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the County’s basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of County’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the component unit financial statements of the Board of Education of Queen Anne’s County and the Queen Anne’s County Free Library, which comprise 88% of the assets, 88% of the net assets and 97% of the revenues
of the discretely presented component units. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the above mentioned component units, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County as of June 30, 2011, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
- 11 -
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 20, 2011 on our consideration of the County’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,
and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis; Schedule of Funding Progress; Schedule of Participating Agencies’ Contributions; and Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, Other Financing Sources and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget and Actual – General Fund and Roads Board Special Revenue Fund as referenced in the table of contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and supplementary schedules listed as supplementary data, and statistical section, as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The
combining and individual fund financial statements and supplementary schedules, listed as supplementary data have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The introductory section and statistical tables listed in the table of contents have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Introduction This section of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland (the County) presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Queen Anne’s County Government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. 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.
Adoption of new GASB Statements During fiscal year 2011, the County adopted GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. GASB 54 establishes standards for fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in governmental funds.
Additionally, the definitions of a general fund, special revenue fund, capital projects fund, debt service fund, and permanent fund are clarified by the provisions in this Statement. Under the new standard, the County recorded fund balance into five new classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
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 assets presents information on all of Queen Anne’s County Government’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position and condition of Queen Anne’s County Government is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets 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).
- 13 -
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, parks and recreation, library, conservation of natural resources, and economic and community development. The businesstype activities of Queen Anne’s County Government include water and sewer services, an airport, public marinas, parks, and various recreational facilities.
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, Queen Anne’s County Free Library, and the Queen Anne’s County Public Housing Authority. 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 on pages 36 to 39 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements: A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Queen Anne’s County Government, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of Queen Anne’s County Government can be divided into three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Fund financial statements can be found throughout this report, with basic statements found on pages 40 to 55.
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 for governmental funds 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 on pages 43 and 46 to 47.
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: roads board, department of aging, housing and community services, community partnerships for children,
- 14 -
dredging special assessments, Kent Narrows, law library, inmate welfare, agricultural transfer, rural legacy, and purchase of development rights. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each of these funds, which can be found on pages 115 to 120; 134 to 138; 143; and 172 to 173 of this report.
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, marinas, parks, and other recreational facilities. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 48 to 53 of this report, as well as non-major statements on pages 148 to 153.
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 agency funds. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary
funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 54 to 55 of this report, while further detail can be found on pages 158 to 163.
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.

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

million. The County’s total assets exceeded its liabilities at the close of fiscal year 2011 by $174.4 million.
Net assets are divided into three categories: invested in capital assets (net of related debt);
restricted net assets; and unrestricted net assets. By far, the largest portion, $196.3 million, of the County’s total net assets 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
- 15 -
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 $72.4 million at June 30, 2011. Absent the effect of this relationship, the County
would have reported positive unrestricted net assets of $11.2 million on its government-wide financial statements, rather than the negative unrestricted net assets of $61.2 million reported herein. For a multi-year view of this calculation, see the Footnote presented in Table 1 of the Statistical Section.
An additional $39.2 million of the County’s total net assets represents resources that are subject to restrictions on how they may be used. For governmental activities, this amount includes:
$16.7 million of unspent bond proceeds restricted for specific capital projects; $2.4 million restricted for programs related to conservation of natural resources; $1.0 million for impact fee balances; $735 thousand related to Housing and Community Services; and an additional $1.6 million for other restrictions. For business-type activities, this amount includes: $6.4 million restricted for subsequent year operations in those enterprise funds not reported separately in the
following restricted amounts; $6.4 million in allocations restricted for Sanitary District capital projects or debt service; $3.2 million restricted to meet Sanitary District debt covenants; and $753 thousand restricted by Sanitary District developer exaction project requirements.
At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government reports positive balances in two out of three categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental activities. Business-type activities report all non-capital net assets as restricted, due to the inherent nature of those activities, and show a positive balance in both categories.

Governmental activities:
Revenues for governmental activities were $110.9 million for fiscal year 2011. The following chart depicts revenues by source for governmental activities:
Revenues by Source - Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2011 Investment Income County 0.12% transfer taxes 1.05% Gain on Sale of Capital Assets Miscellaneous 0.25% Recordation 0.64% taxes Hotel taxes 3.25% 0.40% Charges for services 3.74% Admission and amusement taxes Operating, capital & 0.17% restricted grants 8.61% Local income tax 27.61% Property taxes 54.16%
• Taxes comprise the largest source of County revenue, totaling $96.1 million (86.6
percent) of total revenue for fiscal year 2011. Of that amount, property and local income tax together yielded $90.7 million (81.8 percent) of all revenue. Each County sets its own property and income tax rates, within parameters established by the State. For fiscal year 2011, the County’s property tax rate was set at $.7671 per $100 of assessed value of real property, based on full cash value of that property. This was a slight decrease
from the fiscal year 2010 rate of $.770 per $100 of assessed value of real property. The County’s local income tax rate remained at 2.85 percent of the State taxable income for calendar years 2011 and 2010. There is no local sales tax in the State of Maryland.
• Operating grants and contributions, totaling $6.0 million, reflect grants from Federal and
State agencies that support specific County programs. Programs that benefitted the most were: social services ($2.1 million or 34.2 percent) and public safety ($1.5 million or 24.4 percent).
• Charges for services, totaling $4.1 million, reflect fees charged to County citizens. These
primarily support public safety ($1.1 million or 26.3 percent), general government ($1.1 million or 26.3 percent), public works ($872 thousand or 21.1 percent); and education functions ($755 thousand or 18.2 percent).
• Capital grants and contributions, totaling $3.6 million, reflect contributions from Federal
and State agencies, as well as developers. Capital activities that benefit the most this year are: conservation of natural resources ($1.9 million or 54.2 percent) and public works ($901 thousand or 25.4 percent).

Expenses for all governmental activities were $129.0 million for fiscal year 2011. The following chart depicts expenses by function for governmental activities:
Expenses - Governmental Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2011 Economic and Community Interest and fiscal development Conservation of 1.47% charges natural resources 3.16% 2.95% General government Libraries 12.38% 1.13% Parks and recreation Public safety 2.39% 19.70% Public works Education 7.05% 44.57% Health 1.32% Social services 3.88% 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 $57.5 million (44.6 percent). In order of priority, public safety expenses totaled $25.4 million (19.7 percent); general government expenses were $16.0 million (12.4 percent); public works and roads expenses were $9.1 million (7.0 percent);
social services expenses totaled $5.0 million (3.9 percent); conservation of natural resources were $3.8 million (2.9 percent); parks and recreation expenses were $3.1 million (2.4 percent);
economic and community development expenses were $1.9 million (1.5 percent); and other expenses were $7.2 million (5.6 percent).

Of the total cost of $129.0 million for governmental activities, $13.7 million (10.6 percent), of those costs were covered by program-related revenues paid by individuals and external governmental entities. Of these outside entities, individuals who benefited directly from County programs were charged user fees of $4.1 million, while governments and other organizations that benefited indirectly from these programs contributed operating grants of $6.0 million and capital
grants of $3.6 million.
County taxpayers paid for most of the remaining $115.3 million in net program costs, through a variety of County taxes, for a total of $96.1 million. Net program costs of services provided to the public, in order of net cost, were: $56.8 million for education; $22.8 million for public safety; $14.1 million for general government; $6.8 million for public works; $2.7 million for parks and recreation;
$2.7 million for social services; $1.5 million for economic and community development; $807 thousand for conservation of natural resources; and $7.2 million for other services. See Changes in Net Assets and General Fund Budgetary Highlights for further details.
Changes in net assets: Government-wide revenues, less expenses, plus/minus transfers in/out, yield changes in net assets. During fiscal year 2011, governmental activities decreased the County’s net assets overall by $18.7 million, compared to a decrease of $14.9 million in fiscal year 2010. The following discussion explains changes in net assets relative to the prior fiscal year.
Revenues for governmental activities decreased by $189 thousand (0.2 percent). The following key revenues changed, when compared to the prior fiscal year:
• Local income tax increased by $4.9 million (19.1 percent), from $25.7 million to $30.6
million. The majority of the increase relates to the local income reserve held by the State of Maryland for Queen Anne’s County. For fiscal year 2010, the local income tax reserve held by the State decreased by $4.3 million (compared to fiscal year 2009), and was reflected in the income tax revenue for the year. However, for fiscal year 2011, the local income tax reserve increased by $1.4 million when compared to fiscal year 2010.
However, actual receipts for local income tax remained almost constant, with a decrease of only $120 thousand.

• Capital grants and contributions decreased by $4.9 million, from $8.5 million in fiscal year
2010 to $3.6 million in fiscal year 2011. Significant factors influencing this decrease are:
o Social Services decreased by $2.5 million (92.0 percent). Of this decrease, $2.1 million related to the Sudlersville Senior Center, which was constructed as part of a Public Housing Authority contract, and subsequently donated to the County’s Social Services department to manage in fiscal year 2010. In addition, $429 thousand was received in fiscal year 2010 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) of 2009 for the purchase of five buses for the Department of Aging.
- 20 -
o Conservation of Natural Resources decreased by $2.3 million (54.1 percent), mainly due to a decrease of $3.7 million in state capital grants related to purchasing easements as part of the Rural Legacy program. Offsetting this decrease was an increase of $1.4 million in state capital grants for the purchase of Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) easements.
o Parks and Recreation decreased by $432 thousand (68.4 percent). There were several capital projects with decreased capital grant and contribution revenue in fiscal year 2011, as well as other projects with increased capital grant and contribution revenue. All of these fluctuations relate to the timing of the projects. There were several projects that closed at the end of fiscal year 2010, and not as many were in
progress during 2011, therefore the net revenue decreased.
o Public Works increased by $637 thousand (241.3 percent), mainly as a result of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant of $878 thousand received in fiscal year 2011 for roads capital projects.
• Operating grants and contributions decreased by $700 thousand, from $6.7 million in
fiscal year 2010 to $6.0 million in fiscal year 2011. Key factors for this change are:
o Social Services decreased by $617 thousand (23.1 percent) mainly due to decreased operating grant funding of $575 thousand for Community Partnerships. The decrease to Community Partnerships was the result of funding cuts from the State of Maryland.
o Education decreased by $433 thousand (100 percent). In fiscal year 2010, a State grant for $433 thousand was received for the renovations at Bayside Elementary School. There was no such grant in fiscal year 2011.
o Public Safety decreased by $430 thousand (22.7 percent). Although there were numerous increases and decreases between 2010 and 2011, a few significant transactions are worth mentioning. First of all, there was a new grant of $365 thousand received in fiscal year 2011 for the Eastern Shore Communications Alliance. Secondly, a grant of $799 thousand was received in fiscal year 2010 for a new phone system for Emergency Services, of which there was no similar grant
received in fiscal year 2011.
o Conservation of Natural Resources increased by $913 thousand (981.9 percent) as a result of federal grant funding of $962 thousand received in fiscal year 2011 for the purchase of a land conservation easement.
• Gain on sale of capital assets increased by $254 thousand (951.8 percent), from $27
thousand in fiscal year 2010 to $281 thousand in fiscal year 2011. The majority of the increase related to the sale of land in the Matapeake Business Park. The land was sold for $350 thousand, which was $190 thousand higher than the basis.
Expenses for governmental activities increased by $3.5 million (2.8 percent) and transfers out to business-type activities increased by $53 thousand, for a total increase of $3.6 million. Key positive and negative expense changes, in order of relative importance, are:
• Education expenses increased by $4.0 million (7.5 percent). This increase was primarily
the result of increased expenses relating to school related capital projects. In fiscal year 2011, the expense associated with capital projects for schools was $7.9 million, which was an increase of $3.5 million from fiscal year 2010. Of the total $7.9 million in fiscal year 2011, $6.2 million related to the construction of Sudlersville Middle School. In fiscal year 2010, only $463 thousand was spent on the new middle school. In addition, several
other school related capital projects had fluctuations from the previous year.
- 21 -
• General Government expenses increased by $1.9 million (13.3 percent), which was the
result of the early retirement incentives in fiscal year 2011. The County offered two separate early retirement incentives during the year to employees who met certain criteria related to age and length of service. Although approximately $2.4 million in expenditures (including termination pay, deferred compensation, and other benefit costs) were incurred to implement the early retirement programs, the County fully expects to
recover these costs and realize substantial savings in the future.
• Conservation of Natural Resources decreased by $1.5 million (27.8 percent) which was
the result of several changes. First, the Agricultural Transfer program did not incur any expenses in fiscal year 2011; however $1.1 million of expenses was incurred in fiscal year 2010. Secondly, the Rural Legacy program incurred $1.1 million of expense in fiscal year 2011, which is a decrease of $2.5 million from the $3.6 million spent on Rural Legacy in fiscal year 2010. Both of these programs relate to the purchase of easements
that preclude development, and together, they accounted for a decrease in expenses of $3.6 million in fiscal year 2011 from the prior year. Next, expenses for conservation of natural resources related to capital projects increased by $2.2 million, all of which relates to land preservation easements. For many of the easements, including Agricultural Transfer, Rural Legacy, and capital projects easements, the timing of purchases is
affected by whether land is identified for an easement, and also by the amount of any potential State funding available.
• Interest and fiscal charges increased by $567 thousand (16.2 percent). This increase
related to the 2009 bonds, of which the interest expense increased by $698 thousand. In fiscal year 2010, only a partial year’s interest was due, however, a full year’s interest was due in fiscal year 2011.

Business-type activities:
Revenues, transfers in, and expenses for business-type activities were $13.3 million, $612 thousand, and $16.2 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2011. The following two charts depict revenues by source and expenses by service for business-type activities:
Revenues by Source - Business-Type Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2011 Investment Miscellaneous income 6.65% 3.06% Operating & Charges for capital grants services & contributions 74.28% 16.01% Expenses by Service - Business-Type Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2011 Public Airport marinas 7.19% 0.41% Water and sewer 67.16% Parks and recreation 25.24% Business-type activities decreased the County’s net assets altogether by $2.3 million in fiscal
year 2011, which was $2.5 million less than the prior year’s increase of $180 thousand. The fiscal year 2011 change in net assets resulted primarily from:
• Capital grants and contributions decreased by $492 thousand (19.2 percent), from $2.6
million in fiscal year 2010 to $2.1 million in fiscal year 2011. The net decrease in funding resulted from changes in several projects simply due to the timing of the projects. As the majority of activity took place in fiscal year 2010 for the new runway project, the Airport had a decrease of $1.1 million for capital grants. Offsetting the decreases in Airport capital grants was an increase of $590 thousand for sewer capital projects; and $39
thousand for water capital projects.
- 23 -
• Operating grants and contributions decreased by $143 thousand (70.7 percent), from
$203 thousand in fiscal year 2010 to $60 thousand in fiscal year 2011. Part of this decrease is the result of reimbursements from FEMA in fiscal year 2010 for the costs associated with the record breaking snow storms that occurred in December 2009 and February 2010. In fiscal year 2010, the Sanitary District received $44 thousand from FEMA and the Airport received $32 thousand, for a total FEMA reimbursement of $76
thousand. No such activity occurred in fiscal year 2011. Also, the Sanitary District had additional state grant funding in fiscal year 2010 of $54 thousand.
• Operating expenses before transfers increased by $1.7 million (11.9 percent), from $14.5
million in fiscal year 2010 to $16.2 million in fiscal year 2011, for all business-type activities. Of the total increase in expenses, $1.3 million is related to a loss on disposal of capital assets for Property Management. As explained later in the capital assets section of this MD&A, the disposal related to the Bay Model Property. Of the remaining increase, $226 thousand was caused by a loss on disposal of capital assets due to the
retirement of obsolete Sanitary District infrastructure.
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 $48.7 million, compared to $49.6 million for the prior year. Approximately 9.6 percent of this total ($4.6 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending. The total unassigned fund balance of $4.6 million includes $4.8 million of positive unassigned fund balance for the general fund, which is offset by negative
unassigned fund balances of $172 thousand in the non-major governmental funds. Additional detail on the negative unassigned balances can be found in Note 15 on page 106.
The nonspendable fund balance, at 9.0 percent of the total fund balance ($4.4 million), is not available for spending and includes amounts related to inventory and loans receivable.
Restricted fund balance of $22.3 million (45.9 percent) includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external sources or legal restrictions. Committed fund balance of $2.5 million (5.1 percent) represents those amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority.
The remaining 30.4 percent of fund balance ($14.8 million) 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 $5.8 million, which is a decrease of $8.2 million from the fiscal year 2010 balance of $14.0 million.
Of the total $5.8 million in fund balance, $4.8 million is unassigned, meaning that there are no constraints on how the funds can be spent. During the year, the County decided to eliminate the requirement to maintain a Rainy day Fund, as the fund did not meet the criteria established for
- 24 -
Rainy Day Funds under GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The County Commissioners plan to establish a new Rainy Day Fund in the future that meets the requirements of GASB Statement No. 54.
The decrease of $8.2 million in the fund balance of the General Fund was primarily due to a decrease in revenue. Total revenues, including transfers in, for fiscal year 2011 were $100.5 million, which is $7.6 million less than the total revenues of $108.1 million in fiscal year 2010.
Although all revenue sources fluctuated, the noteworthy item to mention is the change in transfers into the General Fund. In fiscal year 2010, a transfer of $8.3 million was made from the General Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund and no such transfer was made in fiscal year 2011.
Expenditures also decreased by $376 thousand, from $109.1 million in fiscal year 2010 to $108.7 million in fiscal year 2011. Transfers out decreased by $5.3 million, from $8.2 million in fiscal year 2010 to $2.9 million in fiscal year 2011. In fiscal year 2010, transfers out included $4.7 million to the Roads Board in an effort to compensate for the decrease in State Shared Highway User Tax revenue. The General Fund did not transfer any funds to the Roads Board in fiscal year
2011.
Offsetting the decrease in transfers out was an increase in debt service and also in miscellaneous expense. Debt service increased by $2.4 million; from $8.0 million in fiscal year 2010 to $10.4 million in fiscal year 2011. This increase was the result of payments totaling $2.2 million (principal and interest) due on the 2009 bonds, of which only a partial interest payment of $553 thousand was due in fiscal year 2010. Also, a payment of $800 thousand was made on a loan
related to property, which there were no principal payments due for this loan last year.
Miscellaneous expense increased from $1.4 million in fiscal year 2010 to $4.7 million in fiscal year 2011, which is an increase of $3.3 million. There were several increases to various miscellaneous expenses during the year; however, the most significant was the cost of $2.4 million for the early retirement incentive plans.
For further explanations of General Fund revenues and expenditures, see the General fund Budgetary Highlights section of this MD&A.
The General Capital Projects Fund accounts for all capital projects related to governmental funds, except those accounted for in the Roads Capital Projects Fund, which is discussed below.
As of June 30, 2011, the General Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $28.4 million, compared to $17.7 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. This $10.7 million increase in total fund balance is comprised of $7.0 million in bond proceeds, which were received but legally restricted to cover certain on-going projects; $2.7 million assigned to fund future capital projects;
and $1.0 million in commitments by County officials to fund construction of facilities and infrastructure.
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, and are financed mostly from roads-related capital grants and roads benefit assessments.
As of June 30, 2011, the Roads Capital Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $4.1 million, compared to $4.0 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Of this total $4.1 million fund balance, $3.3 million has been assigned to fund ongoing projects, while $778 thousand has been contributed by local developers and is committed to fund certain infrastructure improvements.
The School Impact Fees Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources generated by new residential construction. Those funds are then used for the construction of public school facilities or payment of debt relating to such construction.
- 25 -
The total fund balance as of June 30, 2011 was $416 thousand, which was a decrease of $652 thousand from the prior year fund balance of $1.1 million. This decrease resulted from a transfer out of $1.4 million to the General Fund, to cover debt service payments related to school construction, while only $756 thousand was received during the year. This revenue consists mainly of impact fee charges, which were $97 thousand lower than received the year before.
The Roads Board Fund accounts for financial resources received from the State, plus a substantial amount from the County, for the maintenance of County road infrastructure.
The total fund balance as of June 30, 2011 was $1.6 million, which is a decrease of $2.6 million from the fiscal year 2010 fund balance of $4.2 million. This decrease in fund balance mainly resulted from a decrease in transfers in for the year. In fiscal year 2010, the County transferred $4.7 million to the Roads Board Fund from the General Fund; however, there were no transfers in for fiscal year 2011. In addition,
revenue decreased by $66 thousand in fiscal year 2011, compared to the prior fiscal year. This decrease resulted from a decrease of $217 thousand in Highway User Tax Revenue, which was partially offset by increases in other revenue sources.
Offsetting a portion of the decreases in revenue and transfers in was a decrease of $820 thousand in operating expenditures when compared to the prior fiscal year, and also a decrease in transfers out in the amount of $445 thousand. The decrease in operating expenditures results from the County’s decision to complete only crucial tasks during the year, while curtailing routine maintenance. This decision was made as a result of the State virtually ceasing to share State levied Highway User Tax
revenue with its counties, starting early in fiscal year 2010. Given the drastic cuts in Highway User Tax revenue and a persistently soft economy, the County only has resources to maintain the roads at a serviceable level.
Transfers out decreased by $445 thousand, as the transfer out in fiscal year 2010 related to a one time transaction. Funds were collected in the Roads Board Fund in a prior year, however, they related to a capital project; therefore the funds were transferred out of the Roads Board and to the Roads Capital Project Fund in fiscal year 2010.
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 assets of the Sanitary District Enterprise Funds at the end of fiscal year 2011 amounted to $13.3 million, which is $263 thousand less than the prior year. This resulted from the use of Restricted Fund assets to repay a large portion of debt service due for the BNR/ENR sewer plant debt, which is an approved use for these restricted monies.
Total net assets amounted to $74.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2011, which decreased by $1.1 million when compared to the prior year. A large portion of the decrease relates to the costs associated with other post-employment benefits (OPEB), which totaled $792 thousand in fiscal year 2011 for the Sanitary District. Another part of the decrease is also due to the transfer of monies, in excess of receipts, from the Restricted and Debt Service Funds to operating Funds to
pay debt service. During fiscal year 2011, $311 thousand and $382 thousand were transferred in excess of receipts from the Restricted and Debt Service Funds, respectively.
The unrestricted net assets of the Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund at year end amounted to negative $389 thousand compared to a negative $80 thousand at the end of the prior fiscal year, reflecting a decrease of $309 thousand. This change was mostly due to a reduction in federal and state capital contributions compared to the prior fiscal year, on the new runway project.
- 26 -
Total net assets amounted to $13.5 million at the end of fiscal year 2011, which decreased by $95 thousand when compared to the prior year. This change was due to other post-employment costs of $65 thousand and also an increase of approximately $50 thousand in fuel expenses.
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 events. Three schedules detail these events: summary, revenues and expenditures. These schedules can be found as part of Required Supplemental Information, which is located after the Notes on pages 115 through 119.
These Schedules report original and final budgets, as well as the variance between actual events and final budgets.
Original to Final Budget Comparisons. The final expenditure budget for the General Fund, including transfers out, totaled $113.9 million. Amendments increased spending authority by $4.6 million during fiscal year 2011, when compared to the original budget of $109.3 million.
Major components of these expenditure budget increases are as follows:
• Budgeted Miscellaneous Expenditures on behalf of Insurance and Benefit costs
increased by $2.8 million during the year, to $4.3 million. This increase in budget authority arose out of the following events:
o The majority of the increase in Insurance and Benefit Costs related to the retirement incentive plans. Due to the challenging financial situation the County faced in fiscal year 2011, the County developed two retirement incentive plans for the year, which included termination pay, deferred compensation and other benefits payable.
o The remaining increase relates to workmen’s compensation insurance costs.
The County also allocates workmen’s compensation insurance costs through the year based on insurance rates attributable to each class of workers. At year end, these costs are similarly adjusted to actual costs.
• Budgeted Debt Service increased by $665 thousand during the year. The majority of this
increase was for debt service for land purchased for the future construction of a new Circuit Courthouse.
• Budgeted Public Safety Expenditures increased by $673 thousand, from the original
budget of $21.4 million to the final budgeted expenditures of $22.1 million for fiscal year 2011. Of the increase, $365 thousand related to the Eastern Shore Communications Alliance, which was a new grant this year, as mentioned previously in this MD&A.
Another $220 thousand increase related to two grants for Emergency Services; $190 thousand for a Homeland Security Program Grant and the remaining $30 thousand for a grant from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency. There were also a few miscellaneous decreases which offset a small portion of the increased budgeted expenditures.
Budget to Actual Comparisons. Actual revenues for the General Fund, including other financing sources and before appropriated fund balance were less than final budgetary estimates by $4.0 million. Actual expenditures, and other financing uses, were less than final budgetary appropriations by $5.2 million. The net effect of these two opposing events was a positive variance of actual to final budget of $1.2 million.
- 27 -
The most noteworthy differences between final budgeted amounts and actual amounts are summarized as follows:
Revenues:
• Income tax revenue was $3.5 million less than budgeted (10.5 percent). The previous
County Commissioners based the budget for fiscal year 2011 income tax revenue on positive economic indicators; however the actual revenue came in much less, but comparable to the prior year.
• Recordation tax revenue was $223 thousand less than expected (8.4 percent), as County
revenues related to housing activity continued to be affected by the slow housing market.
• Investment income was $177 thousand less than expected (78.0 percent). This resulted
from fluctuations in cash on hand and interest rate reductions.
Expenditures:
• Final Budgeted Salaries and Benefits were $31.7 million for the year, while actual costs
were $30.0 million. They were underspent at year-end by $1.7 million (5.3 percent). Of this amount, the department of emergency services was responsible for $383 thousand of the unspent portion, the sheriff’s office for $357 thousand, and solid waste for $273 thousand. This was due to routine turnover, vacant positions and the retirement incentive plans offered by the County during this fiscal year.
• Final Budgeted Other Operating Charges were $81.7 million for the year, while actual
costs were $78.5 million. These costs were lower than budget at year end by $3.2 million (3.9 percent). Operating Charges include contracted services, supplies, debt service, transfers out, and other charges.
o Contracted Services were underutilized by $419 thousand, largely due to savings by the detention center ($208 thousand), with the largest savings for medical charges ($186 thousand).
o Supplies were underspent by $120 thousand, largely due to savings by the detention center ($46 thousand), with the largest savings for uniforms/apparel ($20 thousand) due to the timing of the orders.
o Other Charges were underspent by $2.3 million, primarily due to debt service ($1.3 million) and the timing of bond payments. Included in the fiscal year 2011 budget were payments for the 2011 bonds, however there were not any payments due until fiscal year 2012. The remaining $1.0 million in savings for other charges were spread out throughout the General Fund, as all departments are continuing the effort of increasing efficiencies whenever possible.
o Transfers Out were underutilized by $394 thousand, primarily due to savings by the Department of Aging ($257 thousand) and the Department of Housing ($83 thousand), which allowed these Departments to forgo this portion of their appropriation.
• Final Budgeted Capital Outlay was $512 thousand for the year, while actual costs were
$238 thousand. Purchases of capital assets were less than anticipated by $274 thousand (53.5 percent). This is largely due to the County’s economic climate and its desire to reduce spending.

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, 2011 amounted to $241.9 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.
Capital asset activities, net of depreciation, are summarized as follows:

depreciation, decreased by 0.7 percent, or $1.6 million. Of this amount, governmental investment in capital assets increased by $752 thousand, while business-type investment in capital assets decreased by $2.4 million.
Changes in the County’s capital assets, with depreciation shown separately, are summarized as follows. Note that completed projects that were reclassified from construction in progress (CIP) to other asset accounts during the year net to zero and are reported in the same column.

Noteworthy capital asset events during the current fiscal year for governmental activities included the following:
• Land and Land Improvements increased by a net amount of $1.8 million. This increase is
primarily the result of the following three events: (a) the County acquired a parcel of land near the Town of Centreville with the intent of encouraging commercial use of the property ($1.4 million); (b) the site work necessary to construct access roads to the Queen Anne’s Emergency Center in Grasonville was completed ($584 thousand); and (c) the County sold a parcel of land in the Matapeake Business Park to a commercial entity
for $350 thousand ($160 thousand book value).
• Construction in Progress (CIP) decreased by a net amount of $3.4 million. The following
factors contributed to this decrease:
Costs reclassified from Construction in Progress include: (a) a major renovation to the County’s transit garage facility ($4.7 million); (b) infrastructure improvements near the Queen Anne’s Emergency Center ($730 thousand); (c) improvements to Ferry Point Park ($374 thousand); and (d) a housing property rehabilitated and later sold to a qualified buyer ($217 thousand).
Major additions to Construction in Progress include: (a) costs to acquire the County Complex property, later reclassified to the Land account ($1.4 million); (b) the acquisition of agricultural easements ($717 thousand); (c) improvements to Tanyard Road ($686 thousand); (d) Railroad Avenue building renovations ($581 thousand); (e) further development of the White Marsh Park ($178 thousand); and (f) security upgrades and a
new generator for the County Courthouse ($85 thousand).
Additionally, costs related to soil remediation efforts were retired from Construction in Progress as those amounts were deemed to be non-capital in nature ($199 thousand).
• Buildings and Improvements increased by a net amount of $4.8 million. This increase is
due almost exclusively to the completion of the public works transit garage renovation ($4.7 million). Other additions include minor renovations to the emergency services hanger and the lower level of the circuit court building ($46 thousand).
• Improvements to Site Other than Buildings increased by $375 thousand. This increase
relates primarily to the completion of two capital projects: (a) the Ferry Point Trail improvements and amenities were completed ($166 thousand); and (b) traffic barriers were installed along several roadways throughout the County ($192 thousand).
• Infrastructure increased by $359 thousand. This increase relates primarily to the
completion of two infrastructure projects as follows: (a) Shoreway Drive and Leonard Smith Road, which provide access to the Queen Anne’s Emergency Center in Grasonville ($146 thousand); and (b) the construction of a pedestrian crossing at the Ferry Point Park ($207 thousand).
• Auto, Machinery and Equipment decreased by a net amount of $879 thousand. The
following factors culminated in this change:
Additions of $482 thousand include the following: (a) the Aging Department utilized grant funding to acquire two new small scale transit buses ($199 thousand); (b) the Sheriff’s department acquired replacement law enforcement vehicles ($139 thousand); (c) Solid Waste purchased roll-off containers and a waste compactor ($50 thousand); and (d) computer-related equipment was acquired for several County departments ($37
thousand).
- 30 -
Retired items of $1.4 million include the following, the majority of which were fully depreciated: (a) vehicles and construction equipment deemed obsolete ($806 thousand);
(b) retirement of unserviceable public safety and transit vehicles ($465 thousand); and (c)
obsolete computer software and hardware ($96 thousand).
Noteworthy capital asset events during the current fiscal year for business-type activities included the following:
• Buildings decreased by $1.5 million due to the clearing of the Bay Model property. In an
effort to promote economic growth in the County, this land is currently being developed as the Matapeake Business Park, with lots to be sold to commercial entities.
• Improvements to Site Other than Buildings increased by $560 thousand. This increase
relates to the completion of three public landings improvement projects as follows: (a) Shipping Creek Bulkhead ($197 thousand); (b) Kent Narrows Ramp ($174 thousand);
and (c) Thompson Creek Ramp ($189 thousand).
• Infrastructure increased by a net amount of $1.4 million. The following factors contributed
to this increase: (a) two Sanitary Waterworks capital projects were completed and the resulting infrastructure was placed in service ($806 thousand); (b) water and sewer infrastructure constructed by developers were contributed to the County and incorporated into the County’s water and sewer system ($837 thousand); and (c) obsolete infrastructure removed from service and retired ($226 thousand).
Additional information on the County’s capital assets can be found in Note 6 of this report.
Long-term debt: At the end of the current fiscal year, Queen Anne’s County Government had total bonded debt, loans, capital leases, other post-employment benefit obligations, and compensated absence obligations of $143.1 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 $143.1 million in debt, $23.1 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 $5.2 million, which are restricted to payment of the Sanitary District’s subsequent year’s debt.
See Note 10 on pages 93 to 95 for restricted assets and subsequent year debt service obligations.
Debt activities are summarized as follows:
Bonded Debt, Loans, Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation, Governmental Activities Business Type Activities Total and Compensated Absences 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 Bonds, Notes, Premiums and Deferred Debt Costs $ 103,916,450 $ 8 9,725,398 $ 20,150,999 $ 21,611,733 $ 124,067,449 $ 111,337,131 Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation 13,884,282 8 ,548,639 2,647,180 1,562,119 16,531,462 10,110,758

During the 2011 fiscal year, the County’s total net debt increased by $18.9 million (15.2 percent).
Of this amount, governmental debt increased by $19.3 million (19.1 percent), while business-type debt decreased by $333 thousand (1.4 percent). The County issued 2011 Bonds totaling $21.5 million and also entered into a promissory note agreement for $365 thousand. In addition, total Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligations increased by $6.4 million. Offsetting these increases were changes in accruals, plus the County’s repayment of existing debt in accordance with
established repayment schedules for bonds, notes, and capital lease agreements.
Additional information on the County’s long-term debt can be found in Note 9, pages 83 to 92, of this report.
The public local laws of Queen Anne’s County limit the amount of general obligation debt to no more than $8.0 million, unless authorized under specific legislation. Currently, approximately $6.9 million of this authority is available. All other debt has been authorized under specific legislation. Additional information on the computation of the legal debt margin can be found in Table 12 of the Statistical Section of this report.
During fiscal year 2011, the rating agencies recalibrated their ratings and Queen Anne’s County Government received an “AA+” bond rating from Fitch Rating Service and an “Aa2” bond rating from Moody’s Investors Service.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates The following economic factors were considered in preparing Queen Anne’s County Government’s operating and capital budgets for the 2012 fiscal year:
• Property assessments are projected to decrease by 0.15 percent over the previous year,
based on State Assessment Office values used to compute the Constant Yield rate.
• The County Commissioners adopted a property tax rate of $.8471 per $100 of assessed
valuation of real property for fiscal year 2012. This is an increase of $0.08 (10.4 percent) from the rate of $0.7671 in effect for the 2011 fiscal year. In addition, the County Commissioners also increased the Homestead Property Tax Credit from 0% to 5% for the taxable year beginning July 1, 2012. The property tax rate, along with the expected decrease in property assessments, are reflected in the projected fiscal year 2012
property tax revenue of $65.9 million, which is an increase of $5.8 million (9.6 percent) over the fiscal year 2011 revenue of $60.1 million.
• Income tax revenue is projected to increase to $31.1 million in fiscal year 2012, which is
a 5.3% increase over actual receipts for fiscal year 2011. The increase is a result of the County Commissioners raising the income tax rate from 2.85% of all taxable wages, to 3.2% (12.3% increase), effective January 1, 2012.
• In preparation for the fiscal 2012 budget, a Task Force on Government Sustainability was
formed. The committee consisted of seven citizens and two commissioner representatives tasked with reviewing existing County functions/services and recommending steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of County government. The Task Force was divided into three subcommittees: County functions, Public Safety, and Board of Education. Each subcommittee reviewed vital topics and presented recommendations to the County Commissioners. Before issuing the recommendations,
the Task Force met publicly on eleven separate occasions. The recommendations were considered as part of the Commissioners’ budget deliberations, and incorporated into the adoption of the fiscal year 2012 budget.

In addition to the increase in the property and income tax rates, the following are a few of the policies to continue through fiscal year 2012:
o Continue the hiring freeze through fiscal year 2012 with all requests for new parttime and full-time employee positions to be presented to the Commissioners for approval prior to advertising a vacancy;
o Continue implementation of the County workforce furlough program;
o Continue the suspension of the employee education assistance program; and o Continue the suspension of the employee vacation pay-out program.

Total Fund Balance - Governmental Funds $ 4 8,679,373 Amounts reported for Governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets are different because:
Receivables not included in the governmental funds because they relate to debt.
A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County's debt service for interest expense. Therefore, at year end, a receivable is booked for the interest reimbursement due, but not yet received.
ADD Bond Interest Reimbursement Receivable - Build America Bond 1 10,004 Capital assets used in governmental fund activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported in the funds.

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, 2011
Change in Fund Balances - Total governmental funds, per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds $ (886,973) Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Capital outlay expenditures are reported in Governmental Funds during the year. However, in the Statement of Activities, costs for capital asset purchases are allocated over the estimated useful lives of those assets and reported as depreciation expense over a number of years. Therefore, the change in assets differs from the change in fund balance by the amount of capital asset purchases that will be capitalized
and depreciated over a number of years, less the offsetting depreciation expense for the current year.
Proceeds received on disposal of capital assets are reported in Governmental Funds as current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, only the gain or (loss) realized on disposal of capital assets is reported. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of capital assets sold, net of accumulated depreciation (i.e., book value).
In addition, developer contributions of capital assets (primarily infrastructure) are not reported in Governmental Funds because they do not represent current financial resources available to cover this year's expenditures.
Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the value of capital assets received.
Donated Capital Assets are not reported in Governmental Funds because they are not current financial resources.
However, in the Statement of Activities, they are recognized as capital contributions and as capital assets.
The following is a summary of the net increase in capital assets, which is detailed in Note 6 - Capital Assets - Primary Government.
ADD capital assets acquired as capital outlay $ 263,352 ADD capital assets resulting from force-in-kind expenditures 117,246 ADD capital assets resulting from general capital projects 3,601,013 ADD capital assets resulting from roads capital projects 974,216 SUBTRACT book value of disposed capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation (670,294) SUBTRACT current year depreciation expense (3,533,792)
Net Increase in Capital Assets 751,741 Receivables not included in the governmental funds because they relate to debt.
A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County’s debt service for interest expense. Therefore, at year end, a receivable is booked for the interest reimbursement due, but not yet received.
ADD current year's bond interest reimbursement receivable - Build America Bond 110,004 SUBTRACT prior year's bond interest reimbursement receivable - Build America Bond (113,640) (3,636) The accompanying notes to the basic financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

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, 2011
(CONTINUED)
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 revenue increased or (decreased) relative to the prior year is as follows:
ADD current year's Property Tax Deferred Revenue $ 78,885 SUBTRACT prior year's Property Tax Deferred Revenue (106,476) $ (27,591) ADD current year's Income Tax Deferred Revenue 6,213,478 SUBTRACT prior year's Income Tax Deferred Revenue (5,116,295) 1,097,183 Issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, notes, and capital leases) provides current financial resources to Governmental Funds, while repayment of principal due for long-term debt consumes current resources.
In the Statement of Net Assets, issuing debt increases long term liabilities, while repayment reduces those liabilties.
ADD retirements and repayments made on long term debt General Bonds Payable 6,822,151 Notes Payable 946,450 Bond Premiums, Net of Issuance Costs 66,070 Deferred Refunding Costs (170,483) Capital Leases 51,795 7,715,983 SUBTRACT proceeds of 2011 Bond (21,532,570) SUBTRACT Bond premium, net of issuance costs for 2011 bond (9,465) SUBTRACT proceeds of Loan for Frizz King Property (365,000) SUBTRACT College reimbursement received (239,495)
ADD County's allocation to College for debt 60,524 (14,370,023) Some accrued expenses, reported in the Statement of Activities, do not require the use of current financial financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the Governmental Funds. The net amount by which these accruals increased or (decreased) over the prior period is as follows:
ADD prior year's Accrued Interest Payable 1,049,686 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Interest Payable (1,264,252) (214,566) ADD prior year's Accrued Compensated Absences 2,434,948 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Compensated Absences (2,162,071) 272,877 ADD prior year's Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation 8,548,637 SUBTRACT current year's Accrued Other Post Employment Benefit Obligation (13,884,281)

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
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 all the 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 Board is reported as a special revenue fund.
Discretely Presented Component Units 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.
The Queen Anne’s County Public Housing Authority is a component unit of the Queen Anne’s County Government because the County Commissioners appoint the members of the Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners. In addition, the County contributes substantial financial and administrative resources to the Housing Authority on an on-going basis, including an annual appropriation, office space and utilities, and administrative services for human
resources, accounting, and other functions.

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.
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
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 Assets – 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 Assets and report depreciation expense, the cost of “using up” capital assets, in the Statement of Activities. Net assets are divided into three categories: 1) invested in capital assets, net of related debt; 2) restricted; and 3)
unrestricted. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 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 net assets 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 net assets consist of net assets that do not meet the definition of restricted or invested in capital assets, net of related debt.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Statement of Activities – This statement demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function for the fiscal year are offset by program revenues. Therefore, this statement reflects both the gross and net costs per functional category (general government; public safety; public works; health; social services; education; parks and recreation; 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 budget-to-actual comparisons of the General Fund and individual major special revenue funds as part of the required supplementary information subsection located after the Notes to the basic financial statements. In addition,
budget-to-actual comparisons are provided for the General Fund on a departmental level, and for all other individual funds with legally adopted budgets in the supplementary information subsection.
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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
(CONTINUED)
Revenues are recorded as soon as they are susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are both measurable and available). Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period, or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment has
matured and is due. Similarly, expenditures related to claims, judgments, compensated absences, and other postemployment 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 intergovernmental 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 revenue. 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 revenue is 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 deferred 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 revenue.
Fiduciary Funds – The County’s trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, as is used by proprietary funds. Agency funds report only assets and liabilities; they do not report changes in net assets. Therefore, agency funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and payables. Activity during the year is accounted for as
additions to and deductions from asset and liability accounts (for Agency Funds) and Net Assets (for Private Purpose and Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Funds). Since fiduciary funds are, by their very nature, independent of the County, they are omitted from all government-wide statements.
Financial Statement Presentation - The County reports the following major governmental and proprietary funds, as well as fiduciary funds.

(CONTINUED)
General Fund – This fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required or recommended, by GAAP, to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital Projects Funds – General Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed from general governmental resources.
Roads Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources to be used for the construction of County Road infrastructure, as well as other large multi-year projects that relate to capital assets, that are financed from grants received from State and Federal Governments and also Highway User Tax funds.
School Impact Fees - This fund accounts for financial resources generated by new residential construction and used for the construction of public school facilities or payment of school debt relating to such construction.
Roads Board - This fund accounts for financial resources received from the State, plus a substantial amount from the County, for the maintenance of County road infrastructure.
Non-Major Governmental Funds – There are fifteen non-major governmental funds, which are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources. Included in the fifteen non-major governmental funds are special revenue funds and also two 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 6,500 customers.
Water Operations - This fund is used to account for the operation of the water supply system serving approximately 4,000 customers.
Restricted Fund - This fund is used to account for the proceeds of sewer and water capacity charges (one-time allocation fees) and is used to fund capital and debt service expenses.
Debt Service Funds - 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 five non-major enterprise funds, of which none are meant to be fully self-supporting. These funds include the Golf Course, Recreation Programs, Public Landings, Property Management, and Public Marinas.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary Funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for entities other than the County. The County reports the following fiduciary fund types:
Private-Purpose Trust Fund – This fund accounts for an arrangement under which monies received at tax sale, in excess of taxes due, are legally held in trust for property owners who have not been located within a legally-defined time frame.
Other Post-Employment Benefit Trust Fund– This fund accounts for the funding of retiree benefit plans of participating agencies, which are: (1) Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, including the Queen Anne’s County Public Housing Authority; (2) Queen Anne’s County Board of Education; and (3) Queen Anne’s County Free Library. Other agencies and political subdivisions have the right to participate in this Trust Fund also, as an investment vehicle for
their Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan through the pooling of investment resources.
Currently, the only other agency participating is Kent County, Maryland.
Agency Funds - These funds are used to account for assets, such as property taxes, held in a purely custodial capacity where the County receives, temporarily invests, and remits such resources to individuals, private organizations or other governments.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of GASB. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The
County has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
In the process of aggregating data for the Statement of Net Assets 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.

D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET ASSETS 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 From/To 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 Assets, 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 of materials, parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market as 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 ($1,000 for computers) 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 are recorded at estimated fair market 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 ASSETS 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 yearend 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 3 - 20 Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 15 Vehicles 7 - 10
5) Other Post-Employment Benefit Obligation
The Queen Anne’s County post-employment 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. Additional details regarding other post-employment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 14.
Primary Government – In both the government-wide and enterprise funds, liability for other postemployment benefits is adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the other post-employment benefit obligation amounted to $16,531,461, including both governmental ($13,884,281) and business-type activities ($2,647,180).
Component Unit – Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority –For the year ended June 30, 2011, the other post-employment benefit obligation for the Housing Authority amounted to $345,072.
Component Unit - Board of Education – For the year ended June 30, 2011, the other postemployment benefit obligation for the Board of Education amounted to $14,794,329.

6) Compensated Absences
Primary Government – The County’s policy is to pay employees for any unused vacation time, up to a maximum of 65 days, upon termination of employment. Compensated absences are reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, such as payments upon termination of employment, vacation, and compensatory time paid as they are used during the year. Such time is paid as regular wages. Compensated absences are reported in enterprise funds as they are accrued. In the
government-wide statements, the liability for compensated absences is adjusted at the end of each fiscal year to current salary costs. Accumulated unpaid leave of the County amounted to $2,501,833 at June 30, 2011, including both governmental ($2,162,071) and business-type activities ($339,762).
Component Unit – Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority –The Housing Authority’s employees are employees of the primary government, which is ultimately liable for their salaries and benefits.
Therefore, for the year ended June 30, 2011 the County recognized a liability for compensated absences for these employees as part of its governmental activities in the amount of $20,713.
Component Unit - Board of Education – Accumulated unpaid annual leave is accrued when earned in the Unrestricted Current Expense Fund using the modified accrual basis of accounting. In fiscal year 1992, the Board adopted the practice of paying for any unused vacation time, up to the maximum number of days that employees can carry over from one year to the next, upon termination of employment. Maximum number of days varies from 20 to 30 days, depending on classification.
Liabilities for compensated absences are inventoried at the end of each fiscal year and adjusted to current salary costs. Accumulated compensated absences as of June 30, 2011 amounted to $823,162. Because payment of sick leave is contingent upon employees’ future illness or retirement, the Board of Education expects its commitment to provide sick leave to be met during the normal course of activities over the working lives of its present employees. Any accumulated unused sick
leave at retirement will ultimately be taken into consideration and paid through retirement benefits by the State of Maryland.
7) 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 and discounts 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 generally reported as a deferred asset and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method.
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, payments to the Bond Refunding Agent and associated bond issuance costs are reported as other financing uses.

8) Net Assets/Fund Equity
In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported negative unrestricted net assets of $61,193,944. This deficit is due to the fact that the County issues general obligation bonded debt for purposes of capital construction on behalf of the Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. The capital assets constructed with the proceeds of this debt are reported on the financial statements of
Queen Anne’s County Board of Education. This amount is also classified as net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt, in the Board of Education column of the Component Units section of the County’s government-wide Statement of Net Assets. Since the Board of Education is not authorized to borrow funds, they do not have any debt.
Since the issuance of such debt has not resulted in capital assets owned by the Primary Government, the effect of this debt is reflected in a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets in the Governmental Activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Assets. At June 30, 2011, the County has reported outstanding general obligation debt related to assets held by the Board of Education amounting to $72,437,047 (of which $60,933,189 has been spent and the remaining $11,503,858
relates to unspent bond proceeds). Absent the effect of this relationship, the County would have reported unrestricted net assets of governmental activities in the amount of $11,243,103.
The County reports a portion of its net assets in its government-wide financial statements as restricted.
In this context, restricted means that, as of June 30, 2011, this portion of net assets was restricted for a particular purpose either by external parties; by provision of the County Charter; or by enabling legislation. Net assets restricted by enabling legislation represent legislative restrictions that a party external to the government can compel the government to honor. For the County, such amounts
represent primarily accumulated net assets attributed to revenue streams that are restricted for specified purposes in the County Code. This generally includes Capital Projects Fund impact fee collections and developer exactions on hand for outside entities; ending fund balances of substantially all special revenue funds; and ending unrestricted net assets of the Sanitary District and other enterprise funds. Such amounts, which are restricted net assets in the government-wide statement of
Net Assets, are as follows at year-end:
Restricted Net Assets Governmental activities $ 22,399,514 Business-type activities:
Debt Service $ 3 ,288,572 Capital / Debt Service 6 ,388,195 Business-Type Operations 6 ,391,838 Capital Projects 7 53,300 16,821,905 Total Restricted Net Assets $ 39,221,419

8) Net Assets/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 loans receivable.
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 decisionmaking authority for the County. Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through formal actions 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.
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 can occur in other governmental funds.
9) 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.

9) Property Tax (continued)
Real and personal property taxes are levied at rates enacted by the County Commissioners in the annual budget on the assessed value as determined by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. The rates of levy cannot exceed the constant yield rate furnished by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation without public notice and only after public hearings. The County tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was $0.7671 per
$100 of assessed value.
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 department 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.
During the fiscal year, the Commissioners may adopt supplemental appropriations. For the year ended June 30, 2011, supplemental appropriations are as follows:
Original Final Increase / Supplemental Appropriations Budget Budget (Decrease) General Fund - expenditures and transfers $ 109,294,541 $ 113,892,277 $ 4 ,597,736 Special Revenue Funds that adopt annual budgets Major - Roads Board - expenditures $ 5,260,111 $ 5,273,843 $ 1 3,732 Non-Major that adopt annual budgets - Department of Aging - expenditures 2,694,221 2,739,167 4 4,946 Housing and Community Services - expenditures 680,142 1,670,439 990,297

Annual operating budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, School Impact Fees Capital Projects Funds, Roads Board Operating Fund, and the following non-major governmental funds: Department of Aging, Housing and Community Services, Community Partnerships for Children, Dredging Special Assessments, Kent Narrows, Law Library, Inmate Welfare, Agricultural Transfer, Rural Legacy, Fire Impact Fee Capital Projects,
Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Capital Projects, and Purchase of Development Rights Funds. 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. In that 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.
GENERAL FUND
No General Fund Departments exceeded their legally adopted expenditure budgets for the year ended June 30, 2011.

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND FIDUCIARY FUNDS (CONTINUED) At year-end, the carrying amount of combined deposits was $22,130,019. The collected bank balances were $22,861,164 and of those balances, $1,003,183 was insured by federal depository insurance (FDIC).
The uninsured balances were fully collateralized by securities placed with the respective banks’ escrow agents and held in the County’s name.
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.
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 by enacting Section 22G of Article 94 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. Standard and Poors rates the MLGIP as AAAm. The MLGIP seeks to maintain a constant value of $1 per unit. Unit value is computed using the amortized cost method. In addition, the net asset value of the pool, marked to market, is calculated and maintained on a weekly basis to ensure a
$1 per unit constant value.
As of June 30, 2011, the County’s investments, 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.
COMPONENT UNITS (BOARD OF EDUCATION AND LIBRARY)
Component Unit - Board of Education - At year-end, the carrying amount of deposits was $13,772,461, including $300,000 in certificates of deposit and excluding the carrying amount of fiduciary funds. The bank balances were $14,490,468. At June 30, 2011, the Board’s bank deposits were approximately $1.1 million in excess of limits insured by federal deposit insurance. The uninsured balances were fully collateralized by
securities held by the agent of the Board, in the Board’s name. In addition, the Board had approximately $1,600 cash on hand at June 30, 2011.
Component Unit – Library - At year-end, the carrying amount of all bank deposits, including a $650,441 certificate of deposit, was $1,353,677, while collected bank balances were $1,358,069.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
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 1994, 2000, and 2003, Queen Anne’s County sold $1,000,000, $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 have provided their bonds to Queen Anne’s County as evidence of their requirement to reimburse their portion of the debt service. Bonds are amortized over the 20-year life of each of the original Queen Anne's County Bonds. The current carrying value for the bonds receivable from the other four counties are $182,400, $1,220,000, and $347,059, respectively, for a total of $1,749,459. 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.
Loans receivable in the amount of $4,354,460 relate to the Housing, Impact Fees, and Revolving Loan Special Revenue Funds. Loans receivable in the amount of $3,664,409 for Housing and Community Services will be repaid when the homes are sold, in virtually all cases. These loans support housing rehabilitation and homeownership. 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 $175,683 are also repaid over a number of years.
The remaining loan receivable balance of $514,368 relates to school, fire, and parks and recreation impact fees.
In July 2007, the County began accepting promissory notes for impact fees, in certain situations, with the understanding that when certificate of occupancy was obtained, these notes would be paid in full. To ensure repayment, the notes attach to the property incurring the impact fee; therefore, payment will be required automatically prior to legal transfer of title.
Income taxes held by the State in the amount of $8,748,190 have been estimated by the State as income tax due for “tax years” 2010 and prior. It may take five years or longer for the State to receive all amounts relating to these “tax years” and remit those monies to the County. However, the State indicates that this is a reasonable estimate of their liability to the County and the County reports this amount in accordance with GAAP.
Special Assessments in the amount of $1,139,327 represent receivables for governmental activities. Part of this amount consists of $455,933 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 $683,394 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 $2,770,611 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 7 - INTERFUND RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
Interfund receivables and payables are usually used by the County to cover temporary cash deficits in individual funds until grant or similar resources are received. Occasionally, these receivables and payables are used in lieu of short-term external borrowing, such as for capital lease agreements.
Intra-entity receivables and payables usually relate to capital construction projects, wherein the primary government records a liability to its component unit at year-end while the component unit records a payable to the contractor.
The interfund and intra-entity receivables and payables consist of the following at June 30, 2011:

$616,343 to various Enterprise Funds. Public Marinas received $594,171, the Airport received $11,104, and Public Landings received $11,068. The transaction was appropriately recorded on the Enterprise Fund books as an increase in debt liability and on the General Capital Projects Fund’s book as a transfer out.

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: Water, Sewer, Bay Bridge Airport, Blue Heron Golf Course, Public Landings, and Public Marinas.
During fiscal year 2009, the County implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 43, Financial Reporting for Post-Employment Benefit Plans Other than Pension Plans and GASB 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions. For governmental funds, the other post-employment benefit obligations are reported in the
government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these obligations are reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. Additional information can be found in Note 14, Other Post-Employment Benefits.
Compensated absences that mature during the fiscal year, in that they are paid when the employee takes vacation leave upon the employee’s termination, are typically liquidated from the governmental or enterprise fund in which that employee charges the majority of their productive time. They are paid as regular wages.
Compensated absences that do not mature during the fiscal year are accrued at year-end as an adjustment to liability for compensated absences. For governmental funds, these adjustments are reported in the government-wide statements in the function in which that employee usually charges their productive time. For enterprise funds, these adjustments are reported in the enterprise fund in which that employee charges the
majority of their productive time. In the case of grant-funded activities that disallow compensated absences as an eligible cost, they are paid as administrative wages in the same Fund. Compensated absences in governmental funds are primarily charged to the General Fund or Special Revenue Funds; they are usually not charged to Capital Projects Funds.

A portion of the County’s 2009 Bond offering was issued using Build America Bonds. As an incentive to use these bonds, the Federal government offered an interest reimbursement grant, which offsets the County’s debt service for interest expense. As a result, the County received interest reimbursements of $454,166 during fiscal year 2011, which are reported separately as a specific intergovernmental grant. The net effect of this
reimbursement is shown below.

These General Obligations Bonds carry interest rates of 2.000 to 4.250 percent and mature serially through 2031. The primary use of the bond proceeds is to provide funding for construction and renovation of public school facilities, with minor amounts earmarked for construction of general government and enterprise capital
projects. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned the rating of Aa2 and Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of AA+ to the Queen Anne’s County 2011 Bonds.
In July 2010, the County entered into a promissory note with Frizz-King Enterprises, LLC in order to purchase development rights as part of the Agricultural Transfer Program. The terms of the agreement specify a total purchase price of $1,387,000, of which Queen Anne’s County will contribute $572,000 and the federal Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) will cover the balance of $815,000 for the rights on the 267.383 acre
Frizz-King property. At the settlement in July 2010, the County paid $207,000 and signed a promissory note for the balance of $365,000, plus 6% interest. Terms of the note require $33,463 to be paid quarterly beginning in October 2010 and ending in July 2013.

PRIMARY GOVERNMENT
In August 2009, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 09-13, establishing 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 five-year capital project plan each year; (2) propose an amount to be transferred from the General Fund operating balances to the General Capital Projects Fund to
serve as pay-as-you-go funding in the latter Fund, in order to lessen the need for future County debt; (3) limit the County’s non-bonded indebtedness to $8.0 million for general operating expenses or capital improvements;
(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; and (5) review and revise this Debt Policy as necessary no later than September 1, 2012.
Queen Anne’s County has complied with the above policy, and has not had any violations.

Revenue sources to the fund are sales of water and sewer allocations and interest earned on investments. Authorized uses of restricted funds are major capital expenses for repairs, construction, plant expansion, debt service, or other similar uses within the Sanitary District. To
date, such funds have been used almost exclusively for debt service.
Debt Service Fund - Principal and interest payments for water and wastewater debt used to expand the service area are payable primarily from water and sewer special benefit assessments. These assessments, made at the time the expansion is ready for use, are created by enabling legislation and amortized over the same life as underlying debt. They constitute a lien on the served property and may be prepaid at any time.
The amount of assessments collectable in future years is recorded as benefit assessments receivable. A portion of those assessments receivable is not due currently and is recorded as unearned revenue.
Water Quality Revolving Loan Fund debt covenants stipulate that sufficient financial resources must be available in the Debt Service Fund as of June 30 of each year to cover the subsequent year’s debt service payments. If such resources are not available at that time, the covenants require that the County increase service rates, impose benefit assessments, or otherwise increase financial resources so that debt service
payments are covered before they are due throughout the year.
The assets and related liabilities restricted for the above purposes at June 30, 2011 are as follows:

The Sanitary District’s Unrestricted Net Assets found in the Restricted Fund of $6,388,195 are restricted in that these resources can only be used for capital purchases or debt payments; hence, they are reported in the Restricted Fund. However, the remaining unrestricted net assets noted in the other business-type funds total $6,391,838 and are restricted when reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements because
they may be used for business-type operations but not for governmental operations.

NOTE 11 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The County is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The government carries commercial insurance to cover such risks. Certain assets of the County such as roads, bridges, and other infrastructure are not insurable due to their nature.
General Insurance Coverage - The County is a participant in the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT), which is a consortium of Maryland local governments created to provide insurance coverage and services to Maryland local governments. The LGIT provides general liability, public officials’ liability, fleet insurance, and building and property insurance to its members.
Workmen’s compensation and fidelity insurance are obtained from various commercial insurance companies.
Risk Sharing - Subscribers to coverage provided by LGIT share the risk among participants of the pools. As a result, the County's annual premium requirements will be affected by the loss experience of the various insurance pools in which it participates. Also, the County may be subject to additional assessments from time to time. These amounts would be recorded as expenditures when they are probable and can be
reasonably estimated. Conversely, favorable performance of certain insurance pools may result in reduced premiums.
Health Insurance - Effective with the 1996 fiscal year, the County joined together with other Eastern Shore county governments, libraries, and Boards of Education to form the Eastern Shore of Maryland Education Consortium Health Insurance Alliance (ESMEC), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for health insurance coverage. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, of
Maryland, administers this program.
The agreement for formulation of the alliance provides that the pool will be self-sustaining through member premiums. In addition to the annual premiums, the pooling agreement provides for additional assessments, if needed, but not to exceed certain limits. No additional assessments were needed for fiscal 2011 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.
Settlements - For the last three years, settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for any type of policy in effect.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS
Virtually all full and eligible part-time employees of Queen Anne's County, Maryland, and its related agencies including the Housing Authority, are covered by one of the statewide contributory pension systems of the State of Maryland.
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY
COST-SHARING MULTIPLE-EMPLOYER DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
Description of Plans The County participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plans that are administered by the State of Maryland.
The Employees Pension System of the State of Maryland (Pension System) was established January 1, 1980. The Pension System covers employees hired after December 31, 1979, as well as Retirement System participants who have voluntarily joined the Pension System.
The Employees Contributory Pension System of the State of Maryland (Contributory Pension System) was established July 1, 1998. As of July 1, 1999, and retroactively to July 1, 1998, the County elected to participate in the Contributory Pension System for all service earned on or after July 1, 1998.
Effective the first payroll in fiscal year 2007, the County elected to provide its employees with the “Alternate Contributory Pension Selection Plan of the State of Maryland” (Alternate Contributory Pension System), under
Title 23
of the State Pension Article. This plan is an enhanced version of the two pension systems described above, and, as such, includes provisions that originate in those plans. Eligible employees not covered by LEOPS, which is described below, are required to participate in this alternate plan in lieu of other plans previously offered. At this time, all current employees not covered by LEOPS participate in the Alternate
Contributory Pension System.
The Law Enforcement Officers Pension System (LEOPS) was established July 2, 1990 and adopted by the County on July 1, 2004. LEOPS currently covers uniformed law enforcement officers of the Sheriff’s Department.
Under the terms of the Alternate Contributory Pension System, a member may retire after 30 years of service regardless of age; at age 65 with two years of service; at age 64 with three years of service; at age 63 with four years of service; or at age 62 with at least five years of service. An employee may also take early retirement with reduced benefits at age 55 with 15 years of service. A member terminating
employment before attaining retirement age, but after completing five years of eligible service, becomes eligible for a vested pension allowance upon reaching age 62.
Under the terms of the LEOPS, a member may retire with full benefits upon attaining age 50 or after completing 25 years of eligible service regardless of age. LEOPS members are not eligible for early service retirement allowances. A member terminating employment before attaining retirement age, but after completing five years of eligible service, becomes eligible for a vested pension allowance upon reaching age
50.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
PRIMARY GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY (CONTINUED)
On retirement from service, a member of any of these plans shall receive an annual service retirement allowance based on the member's average final compensation (based on the highest three years’ wages) and years of creditable service multiplied by a factor. This factor varies from 1.2% to 1.8% for the Alternate Plan or 2.0% for LEOPS. The factor is applied per eligible service year, depending on employee/employer
contributions and other plan-specific provisions. Early retirement, where available, is subject to provisions that reduce the benefit received.
Benefits under these plans are established under the State Personnel and Pensions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
The State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland issues a comprehensive annual financial report that includes disclosures regarding: actuarial value of assets; total actuarial accrued liability; unfunded actuarial accrued liability, if any; and funded liability ratio. This report can be obtained from the agency’s office as follows:
State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland 120 E. Baltimore St, Suite 1601 Baltimore, Maryland 21202-1600 Funding Policy Obligations to contribute to the plans are established under the Annotated Code of Maryland. Employees who are members of these two plans contribute a percentage of their gross employee compensation. Members of the Alternate Contributory Pension System contribute 5 percent and LEOPS members contribute 4 percent.
Required contributions under the plans, which are not funded by employee contributions, are funded entirely by the County. Contributions by the County to both State plans take place during the fiscal year and are based upon salaries for the preceding fiscal year. The County contribution for the year ending June 30, 2011 is based on salaries for the year ending June 30, 2010. The contribution requirements of plan members of the reporting

NOTE 14 - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
Contributions (Continued) Net assets held in trust for above entities as of June 30, 2011 consisted of $609,353. This is a decrease of $423,261 from the June 30, 2010 balance of $1,032,614. The decrease was a result of $489,495 relating to Queen Anne’s County being withdrawn during the year in order to fund current post-employment benefits. Due to the challenging financial situation the County faced in fiscal year 2011, the County developed two retirement
incentive plans for the year, which included termination pay, deferred compensation and other benefits payable resulting from terminations of employee contracts. All of the retirement incentives were paid out during the 2011 fiscal year, with the exception of a benefit relating to health insurance, which was part of the first incentive plan and offered to employees with a length of service of thirty years of more. For those employees, the health
insurance benefit stated they would receive health insurance at no cost for three years. After the three years passed, the retirees will be treated the same as a regular County retiree. The County determined that health and life insurance, incentive and termination pay and deferred compensation associated with the Retirement Incentive Plans and contract terminations constitute post-employment benefits and a “Retirement Benefit Plan”
of the County within the meaning of the OPEB Trust Agreement and was eligible for funding from the Trust. The County Commissioners determined that under the current economic conditions, funding these post-employment benefits from the OPEB Trust was in the best interest of the County.
However, since the transaction detailed above, newly elected Commissioners took office and decided to reinstate the OPEB funds that were withdrawn. The previously withdrawn funds of $489,495 were deposited back into the Trust in October 2011.
To avoid reporting a liability for the current year’s contribution, each employer must contribute its annual required contribution (ARC), which is an amount actuarially determined to be in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The actuarial valuations of the individual plans involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, such as future employment, mortality, and healthcare costs. The actuarially determined amounts regarding the funded status of the plans and the annual required contributions (ARC) of the County and other participating agencies are subject to continual
revision, as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between employers and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of the assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
Actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation for the County’s plan were:
Actuarial Assumptions for Primary Government Actuarial valuation date July 1, 2010 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit Amortization method Closed Amortization period 28 years (as of July 1, 2010) Interest Assumptions 4.00% investment rate of return Asset valuation method Market value of assets Salary increases 3% per year Mortality RP 2000, separate tables for males and females Actuarial trend assumptions Based on Society of Actuaries Long Term

Housing and Community Services Fund The Housing and Community Services Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $102,013 as of June 30, 2011. This negative balance will clear itself as the balance of outstanding loans receivable in Housing and Community Services Fund decreases.
Law Library Fund The Law Library Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $1,593 as of June 30, 2011. However, the fund balance was positive by August 2011.
Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund The Capital Projects – Fire Company Impact Fees Fund has a negative unassigned fund balance of $68,775 as of June 30, 2011. This negative fund balance is the result of an overpayment to a particular fire department, and will decrease over time as the incoming revenues offset the overpayment.
The following Enterprise Funds ended the year with deficit equity balances:
Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund The Bay Bridge Airport Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets of $389,429 as of June 30, 2011.
Parks and Recreation – Golf Course Enterprise Fund The Golf Course Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets of $297,050 as of June 30, 2011.
Parks and Recreation – Property Management Enterprise Fund The Property Management Enterprise Fund has a deficit balance in unrestricted net assets of $430,890 as of June 30, 2011.
Note that during the fiscal year 2013 budget process, the County Commissioners established the guideline that the Enterprise Funds should be self-supporting, to the extent possible. Therefore, a variety of measures are being evaluated in order to attempt the goal of balancing the Enterprise Funds.

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, 2011 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.
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.
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 $1,042,909 million has been committed, including $692,234 for the construction of a new County Courthouse, $273,934 for infrastructure improvements in the Matapeake
Business Park, and $76,741 for site improvements pursuant to agreements with local developers. In the Roads Capital Projects Fund, $777,909 has been contributed by developers and is committed to fund infrastructure improvements.

NOTE 17 – 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 and is fully operational. It began accepting waste in January 2011. 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 31.04% financial interest in the Midshore Regional Landfill. In the event that expenditures exceed revenues, the County is obligated to cover the deficiency in proportion to its financial interest; however, to date additional funding from the County has not been required nor does management anticipate it.
During fiscal year 2011, the landfill located in Talbot County, Midshore I, was closed. As of June 30, 2011, total closure and post closure costs were estimated at approximately $9.6 million. Midshore II, located in Caroline County, was 1.76% filled. Closure and post closure costs for Midshore II are estimated at approximately $13.9 million. Therefore, the total closure and post closure costs for both landfills are $23.5 million, with approximately
$7.3 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 $9.2 million as of June 30, 2011, 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 $20.3 million. As of June 30, 2011, $6.3 million is attributable to Queen Anne’s County in the event of a default.
Each County is required to place its municipal waste in the landfill. The facility is also available to commercial waste disposal firms at the same price per ton as charged to the County governments. Queen Anne's County paid $426,145 in tipping fees to the facility during fiscal 2011.
MES has satisfied its financial assurance requirements based upon the local government financial ratio tests of the project participants as of June 30, 2010. MES expects to satisfy these requirements as of June 30, 2011 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 18 – 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, 2008, the County agreed to a voluntary Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) testing program for underground fuel tanks located at the County’s Department of Public Works’ fuel depot. This testing program was and still is approved by the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE).
Since the testing program began in 2008, the County incurred a total of $219 thousand in expenses, including $20 thousand in fiscal year 2011, to comply with the provisions of the program. Costs covered remediation work and consulting fees; the latter for testing, studies, and monitoring. Remediation efforts included demolition and removal of the existing fuel depot at the Public Works Centreville Shop; remediation of the soils via
excavation; offsite controlled disposal and backfill; installation of monitoring wells; 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 November 2011, due to uneven results from the prior year’s monitoring tests, MDE requested the County submit a technical plan to conduct an initial site injection, a measure which will include the application of decontaminating chemicals to the soil in an effort to determine the dosage rate and the corresponding reduction in pollutants that can be achieved. Upon plan approval by MDE, the County plans to award a contract for the
initial injection by March 2012, with work to begin in April 2012. The results of this initial injection will be assessed, and a follow up plan for a final injection will be prepared. The contract duration for the final injection will depend on the scope of work; however the County expects it to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2013.
No liability has been recorded at this time since costs for both the initial and final site injections cannot be reliably estimated. None of these outlays met the requirements for capitalization noted in GASB Statement 49 and they were not capitalized.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Changes in Homestead Tax Credit:
To help homeowners deal with large assessment increases, Maryland statute has established the Homestead Property Tax Credit, which limits the increase in taxable assessments each year to a fixed percentage. The County, along with all other jurisdictions in Maryland, is required to limit taxable assessment increases to 10% or less each year. This Credit applies only to the principal residence of the property owner; is based on the
dwelling and land associated with the dwelling; and is subject to certain conditions.
For the taxable year beginning July 1, 2012, the County increased the Homestead Property Tax Credit from 0% to 5%, which means taxable increases on homeowner occupied properties is limited to 5% per year.
Changes in Property Tax Rate:
The County’s property tax rate is calculated per $100 of assessed value of real property, based on the full cash value of that property. The County Commissioners adopt the property tax rate for the following fiscal year during the annual budget process.
The property tax rates that were adopted for the last two fiscal years, as well as for the upcoming fiscal year, are as follows:
Fiscal Years Adopted Tax Rates 2012 2011 2010 County Property Tax Rate per $100 of assessed value of real property $ 0 .8471 $ 0 .7671 $ 0.770 Changes in Income Tax Rate:
In accordance with subsection 10-106 of the tax-general article of the annotated code of Maryland, the County Commissioners may set, by resolution, a county income tax rate during the annual budget process.
For tax year 2011, the income tax rate was set at 2.85%. For all taxable years effective beginning January 1, 2012 and thereafter, the income tax rate for the County shall be 3.2%.

Expressing the assets as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability (Funded Ratio) provides one indication of the system’s funding status on a going-concern basis. Analysis of this
percentage over time indicates whether the system is becoming financially stronger or weaker. Generally, the greater this percentage, the stronger the system is becoming. In this fiscal year, the Funded Ratio is 0.70 percent, down from 0.77 percent the year before.
Trends in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and annual covered payroll are both affected by inflation.
Expressing the unfunded accrued liability as a percentage of annual covered payroll approximately adjusts for the effects of inflation and aids analysis of the system’s progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Generally, the smaller this percentage, the stronger the system is becoming. In this fiscal year, the UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll is 291 percent, up from 249 percent the year before.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are 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.
We do not amend closed projects in the General Capital Projects Fund or Roads Capital Projects Fund. The names of these projects begin with a CLS. Once the project is closed, it is considered null and void and there is no remaining authority, and therefore we do not amend those after the fact.
Force in kind capital projects do not contain any budget authority. These projects are only intended as a tracking tool. Most costs associated with force in kind projects are related to staff costs and the project is attached to the employee’s normal activity, which contains the budget authority.
General Capital Projects – This fund accounts for capital project activities funded by all governmental resources, except those reserved for use in the Roads Capital Projects Fund, noted below.
Roads Capital Projects - This fund accounts for capital project activities funded by governmental resources specifically reserved for use in the Roads Capital Projects Fund. These resources consist of State-Shared Highway User Tax, which is mandated for this use, plus federal, state, and local roads-related grants and transfers.
School Impact Fees Capital Projects - This fund accounts for financial resources generated by new residential construction and used for the construction of public school facilities or payment of school debt relating to such construction.

For Queen Anne’s County, the following enterprise funds are not
meant to be fully self-supporting.

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 asset information is reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
* Accounting standards require that net assets be reported in three components in the financial
statements: invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted; and unrestricted. Net assets are 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.
* Information prior to FY03 is not available, due to the FY03 implementation of GASB 34.
* Source: Statement of Net Assets, pages 36-37.
(1) In the government-wide financial statements, the County has reported negative unrestricted net assets 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 positive net assets for its governmental activities and for government-wide purposes. Governmentwide unrestricted net assets would have been:
Unrestricted (deficit) net assets reported above $ ( 29,783,476) $ ( 14,178,514) $ (6,161,281) $ 7,339,567 $ (3,740,905) Debt issued for capital on behalf of others 41,941,175 51,839,220 47,345,646 44,460,306 57,496,385 County net assets absent effect of this relationship $ 12,157,699 $ 37,660,706 $ 41,184,365 $ 51,799,873 $ 53,755,480

(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.

In August, 2009, as described in Note 9 F, Queen Anne’s County adopted Resolution No. 09-13, thereby establishing a local debt policy in compliance with Article 95, Section 22F of the Annotated Code of Maryland. For comparative purposes, this policy has been calculated retroactively for FY09 data, as well as for FY10 data.
This policy requires that the County’s Director of Budget and Finance take the following steps:
(a) prepare a five-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
(e) review and revise this Debt Policy as necessary, but no later than September 1, 2012.
