We are reviewing the ZBA Application Fees and stipends for the
Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals members.
First: I have broken down our current fee schedule for the Zoning
Board of Appeals and show the 2018 proposed fees. If this board approves
the changes in the fees, we would include them in the zoning updates and
revisions.
Second: Shown are current stipend amounts that the Planning Board
and Zoning Board of Appeals currently receive and the proposed stipend
for 2018. During the budget process for the 2018 year, an increase in the
stipend received by the members was increased. Until and only if this
current board approves the changes in stipend, the current 2017 stipend
will continue to be in effect.
Lastly, you will see a ZBA fee study along with what if any the other
municipalities offer as a stipend to their board members.

1. General Policy Statement.
1.1. This policy provides overall guidance for Town of Wappinger ("TOW" or the "Town")
Government use of social media. Individuals and entities that participate in social media on
behalf of the Town shall abide by this policy.
1.2. Social media tools are creative and interactive forms of online communication. They provide
a platform for the Town to develop stronger and more successful relationships and
communications with members of the public, residents, visitors and organizations ("Members
of the Public"). Social media refers to the creation and exchange of information among
individuals through Internet -based applications. This includes, but is not limited to,
information in the form of text, pictures, videos, links to other sites or any other type of
communication posted to the approved social media site.
1.3. Social media provides the TOW with the ability to:
1.3.1. Promote Town programs and initiatives by engaging Members of the Public;
1.3.2. Provide Members of the Public with an additional way to interact with the Town;
1.3.3. Complement and integrate traditional media for wider message distribution;
1.3.4. Engage in local and Dutchess County discussions on relevant TOW issues;
1.3.5. Act as a service provider and connect Members of the Public with programs or
information; and
1.3.6. Provide public outreach to share pertinent government issued informational messages.
1.4. All content posted on the social media pages, including comments submitted, and including
that removed, and a list of subscribers or "followers", is considered a public record and subject
to the New York State Freedom of Information Law. Any content removed based on the
guidelines below should be retained and maintained by the Town Clerk pursuant to the TOW
Record Retention Policy to the extent technologically feasible.
1.5. Social media accounts may include but are not limited by definition to the following
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedln, and YouTube.
1.6. Town social media sites are intended to be informational. Users should not use these forums
for making any official communications to the Town; for example, reporting crimes or
misconduct, requesting an inspection, giving notice required by any statute, regulation or
ordinance, such as, but not limited to, notices of claims.
1.7. Since Town social media sites will not be maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and
immediate responses to any requests via post, email, direct message, etc. may not occur, the
readers should be advised accordingly.
1
1.8. The Town reserves the right to not reply or decline to reply to any/all comments posted to its
social media accounts. It is also understood that the Town will not automatically "friend",
"like", "follow" or "connect" to users who follow, comment or "like" Town posts.
2. Employee Use of Social Media. Any employees representing the Town via its social media
sites shall conduct themselves at all times as representatives of the Town and in accordance with
the Employee Handbook and other applicable policies. When a Town employee posts or responds
to a comment in his/her capacity as a Town employee, the employee should do so in the name of
the Town Department, and the employee shall not share personal information about him or herself,
or other Town employees except as required for Town business.
3. Creation and Use of TOW Social Media Sites.
3.1. Registration. All existing official Town social media sites must be approved by the Town
Board ("Board") and registered with the TOW Supervisor's Office (TSO). The Board and the
TSO retain the ability to deny the creation of any new social media account if the requesting
Office, Department, Committee, or individual ("Organization") cannot provide a legacy
system and a unique need for said account. Prior to starting a new social media account, one
must submit an application on the TSO, using the registration form provided by the TSO.
3.2. Organization Use. Each Organization involved in a social media effort must have a clear
understanding of the Town's social media policy. Additionally, Organizations must clearly
define internal policies to complement the overall Town policy. This internal policy must
include roles and responsibilities for any personnel involved in managing social media,
including affinity groups, vendors and volunteers, and a process to ensure there is consistent
messaging across all media that the Organization uses for public communication, including
social media. Training should be provided for employees authorized to engage in social media
on behalf of the TOW. Employees not authorized to engage in social media should be warned
of the potential consequences of posting in an official capacity.
3.3. Organization Policies and Procedures. Organizations should develop an organizational
structure and Department -specific social media policy consistent with Town -wide policies. It
should address the following elements:
3.3.1. Roles and responsibilities for staff members that create and manage the Organization's
social media presence. This must include a protocol for responding to complaints or other
service requests, and complying with records retention policies;
3.3.2. Organization members or staff responsible for managing social media sites must be
trained on the use of social media and records management issues presented by social
media. This includes review and approval processes for social media messaging and
content, if deemed appropriate. Online communication should be consistent with any
information and advice provided through other media and forums;
2
3.3.3. Oversight of the social media site(s) developed within the Organization (whether
developed internally or through a vendor or consultant);
3.3.4. Clear protocol for personal posts and comments by non-social media Organization staff
on official accounts; and
3.3.5. Consultant/Vendor/Contractor guidelines for use of social media.
3.4.Internal process to address customer issues, questions or complaints. An Organization's social
media policy may depend on the nature and purpose of the Organization. One central contact
should be designated to oversee the Organization's social media program and to coordinate
with TSO for policy updates.
3.5. Consultant / Vendor / Contractor Use of Social Media On Behalf of an Organization. Vendors
or contractors hired by an Organization to assist in developing Organization's social media
presence must comply with all elements outlined in this policy and any other additional internal
policy that an Organization may develop. In contracting out social media related tasks, it is
critical that the Organization retains permanent ownership of the created webpages. For legal
review of the vendor contracts, please contact TOW's legal counsel.
3.6.13randing Social Media Accounts as Official Town Sites. Organizations engaging in social
media should clearly brand their websites as an official government presence. At minimum,
this requires the following:
3.6.1. the profile image should include the Town seal and/or cover photos that are obviously
identifiable or representative of the Town and shall not include individuals or groups of
people.
3.6.2. the account should clearly link to the social media user policy, language in the blog to
indicate that this is an official account, and the account name should indicate that it is
TOW property;
3.6.3. It is important to represent the Town with a consistent message across all forms of
communication, including social media platforms; and
3.6.4. Certain official program initiatives may require the development of a non -branded
social media sites. Organizations interested in launching issue -specific campaigns without
clear government association should contact their agency's legal counsel and TSO.
3.7.Employees Using Social Media in Their Official Capacity.
3.7.1. Most often, social media accounts are created to represent the TOW and its
Organizations. Occasionally, an Organization might want to create an official social media
3
account for an individual, like the head of the Department, or a press officer. Personnel
may be authorized to use social media for many reasons, including (but not limited to)
promoting an Organization's message, engaging with other government and community
leaders, or participating on an Organization's social media site as subject matter experts.
3.7.2. Personnel authorized to engage with Members of the Public via social media platforms
as part of their TOW work should comply with all TOW and Organization guidelines
while doing so. Personnel should also keep in mind that they are representing their
Organization and TOW at large with every social media interaction.
3.7.3. Accounts created and maintained by individuals to use for official purposes become
TOW municipal property and do not transfer to the employee should they leave the TOW
Government.
3.7.4. Personnel who wish to use social media in a personal capacity must indicate they are
only representing themselves, and cannot do so on Town time and using Town resources,
including personnel.
4. Security.
4.1 It is important to take all necessary steps to ensure that social media accounts are secure from
accidental or purposeful attacks.
4.2 Passwords must be adequately complicated to prevent cyberattacks. It is advised that
passwords are never sent through email, but are communicated verbally. If a cyberattack is
suspected, the agency must first contact TSO.
5. Legal Considerations.
5.1.While there are many benefits to working with social media, there are some areas of legal
vulnerability that are unique to these forms of communication.
5.2. Content Posting and Sharing.
5.2.1. Many social media platforms allow users to share and post their own personal
photos, videos and other creative content on fellow users' account pages and sites.
The TOW should not allow or encourage this practice.
5.2.2. Organizations should work with the TSO in crafting their social media message and
strategy. Organizations may, where necessary, are allowed to post to outside links
including, but not limited to, other Organizations, news outlets, and other social media
21
pages. However, Organizations should create original content where possible, and a
majority of published content needs to be original.
5.3.Privacy.
5.3.1. As TOW social media sites grow in popularity and usage, issues of privacy become
paramount. Organizations (particularly those that handle sensitive or protected
information) need to be mindful of customers' privacy and identities. Organizations with
fundamental privacy concerns (e.g. Recreation Department that is serving minors or
manage health information) should consider their customers' privacy before joining the
various social media platforms disclosing customer involvement. In addition, those
Organizations may choose to alert customers that by affiliating with certain social media
sites, they may be openly associating themselves with the specific Organization or TOW
service.
5.3.2. Organizations posting material featuring identifiable private individuals and children
are encouraged try to get permission where possible/feasible before publication. Releases
or permissions should be in writing or by an email authorization from the source
confirming that the TOW's use is acceptable.
5.4. Terms of Service.
5.4.1. When private individuals and organizations join social media sites, the sign -on process
almost always includes a Terms of Service (TOS) clause. New members must agree to the
individual site's Terms of Service before they are granted full -access privileges to the site.
TOS clauses vary across social media platforms; as such, Organizations should carefully
read the TOS of each social media tool before developing its presence. For example, many
of the sites provide that the site's operator is automatically provided with a broad license
to any posted material, that the user consents to choice of law and venue in a remote
jurisdiction and that the site's operator has the right to place advertising in close proximity
to the user's content.
5.5. Moderating Customer Input.
5.5.1. Social media platforms often provide users the ability to voice their opinions and
reactions to posted information. This may result in comments or feedback from users that
concern TOW or Organization officials, department heads or other staff. An Organization
should not use social media if it is uncomfortable with the idea of users posting negative
or unsavory comments about itself, its leaders, or its programs. In other words, if the
agency is uncomfortable with the level of exchange on a particular site, the site may not
be appropriate for that agency.
5.5.2. To keep track of incoming feedback and follower contributed content, Organizations
should check their social media sites at least once a day. If a TOW social media site is
5
created under guidelines or policies that limit the site to a particular topic (as opposed to
general or all-purpose agency communications), off -topic comments or contents may be
deleted under the guidance of TOW legal counsel. Otherwise, agencies may not delete or
modify comments that are posted or otherwise sent or shared by outside parties on their
social media sites. For guidance on the narrow exceptions (e.g., obscene comments, hate
speech, solicitations and comments that violate the Terms of Service of the host site),
please contact the TOW's legal counsel to determine an appropriate response.
5.6. Notice.
5.6.1. The interactive nature of social media enables Organizations to directly engage
customers. However, Members of the Public also have the ability to communicate with
Organizations and may choose to report an issue, request a TOW service or seek more
information regarding a TOW program available to them over the various social media
sites. For information requests that the Organization cannot accommodate, or if a service
complaint needs to be submitted, agencies should loop TSO and TOW legal counsel into
the conversation and then they will then offer a reply.
5.6.2. All employees should be alerted to the fact that a request received through a social media
site may also serve as a notice of some possible issue or problem. For example, if a
customer notifies the TOW Highway Department about a pothole over a social media site
and another resident or visitor is subsequently injured by the same pothole, the notification
may potentially be used by the injured as part of a resulting legal action. Any suspicious
comments of this nature should be communicated to TOS and/or TOW Legal Counsel.
5.6.3. All social media sites maintained by the Town shall clearly set forth that they are
maintained by the Town as the Town's "official" social media accounts. The following
disclaimer shall appear on all Town social media sites:
The Town be the sole owner of all social media accounts and the Town
reserves the right in its sole discretion to delete any postings it deems
offensive or inappropriate, and reserves the right to deny access to any
individual who violates the Town's social media policy without prior
notice. Postings other than by Town officials do not constitute opinions of
and are not endorsed or approved by the Town. The Town specifically
disclaims any and all liability to for any damages, which may result from
accessing links to other posts, pages, or website that are not owned,
operated, controlled or reviewed by the Town. Inappropriate content,
includes, but is not limited to:
• Potentially libelous comments;
• Comments on disability, religion, or national origin;
• Private, personal information offered without express consent,
• Hyperlinks to materials not directly related to the discussion;
• Material known to be plagiarized;
9
• Commercial promotions, including for-profit advertisements or
products for sale;
• Content appearing to be "spam
• Comments pertaining to organized political activities, including
political endorsements;
• Comments not topically related to the particular post being
commented upon;
• Comments that promote, foster, or perpetuate discrimination on the
basis of creed, color, age, religion, gender, marital status, status
with regard to public assistance, national origin, physical or mental
disability or sexual orientation;
• Comments that include vulgar, offensive, derogatory, threatening or
harassing language, racist; personal attacks or unsupported
accusations;
• Obscene or sexual content or links to obscene or sexual content;
• Illegal activity or encouragement of illegal activity
• Information that may tend to compromise the safety or security of
the public or public systems
• Comments from children under 13 cannot be posted in order to
comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. By
posting on a Town media site, users acknowledge that they are at
least 13 years old
• Content that violates a legal ownership interest of any other party.
and
• Any content that is not deemed to be in the best interest of the Town.
5.7. Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).
5.7.1. Organizations should ensure that relevant staff are provided with guidelines and training
before posting any material to social media sites. Once information has been posted, it
may be considered an agency record subject to applicable retention requirements and to
the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), under which government records are made
available upon request to members of the public. Even if the communication, information,
photo, video, etc. is immediately removed from the host site, once it is has been featured
on a social media site, it still may be subject to record retention requirements and to FOIL.
The same would be true of third party comments or materials posted on the agency's social
media sites.
5.7.2. All TOW social media should be archived to the extent possible. TOW's IT Consultant
should try to procure a social media archiving tool and provide guidance on appropriate
record keeping practices.
7
6. Applicability.
6.1.. This policy shall apply to all Town Organizations as well as any affiliated government
or non-government agency or official permitted by the Town to post on Town media sites.
6.2.. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Policy is designed to interfere with, restrain,
or prevent employee communications regarding wages, hours, or other terms and
conditions of employment. Nor is it meant to imply any restriction or diminishment of an
employee's right to appropriately engage in protected concerted activity under law. Town
employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities as they choose.
6.3. Anyone with information as to a violation of this Policy is to report said information to
the appropriate Organization Head. Once the Organization Head is informed of the
violation, a formal process, consistent with the Employee Handbook, Union Contract,
and/or applicable law, will commence.
6.4. An employee who violates this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and
including termination of employment.

I have been having problems with our gas monitoring system. It is
used to monitor gas usage for the Highway Dept., Town Hall, Dog
Warden, Town Patrol and Recreation. This system is outdated and is
not working properly.
I have spoken with Craig Roberts on numerous occasions and he has
tried to get the system up and running but could not. The software is
antiquated and obsolete.
Therefore, our only option is to go with a whole new system. I have gotten
a quote from American Petroleum Equipment. This would involve making a
change to our gas pumps and a new software system. Attached is a copy
of the estimate in the amount of $16,054.20.
This system was originally installed around 2006.

Town of Wappinger Code of Ethics
Article I Intent; Applicability of Other Laws.'
§ 20-1 Statement of Intent.
The Town Board of the Town of Wappinger ("TOW'or or "Town") recognizes that there
are state statutory provisions authorizing towns to establish rules and standards of
ethical conduct for public officers and employees which, if observed, can enhance
public confidence in local government. In the light of a tendency today on the part of
some people to downgrade our local governments and to discredit our public servants
and our free institutions generally, it appears necessary that every effort be made to
assure the highest caliber of public administration of this town as part of our state's
important system of local government. It is the purpose of this chapter to implement
this objective through the establishment of standards of conduct, to provide for
punishment of violation of such standards and to create a Board of Ethics to render
advisory opinions to the town's officers and employees as provided for herein.
§ 20-2 Applicability of Other Laws.
The standards, prohibited acts and procedures established herein are in addition to
any prohibited acts, conflicts of interest provisions or procedures prescribed by
statute of the State of New York and are also in addition to common law rules and
judicial decisions relating to the conduct of town officers to the extent that the same
are more severe in their application than this chapter.
Article II. Ethical Standards.
§ 20-3 Definitions. As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the

Financial Analysis of the Hughsonville Fire District Funds
The Hughsonville Fire District, like all other governmental entities in New York, uses fund accounting to ensure and
reflect compliance with finance -related legal requirements, such as the General Statutes. All of the funds of the
District are classified in two categories: governmental funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds: The focus of the Hughsonville Fire District's governmental funds is to provide information on
near-term inflows, outflows and balances of usable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
Hughsonville Fire District's financing requirements. Specifically, unassigned fund balance can be a useful measure
of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Hughsonville Fire District. At the end of the current fiscal year,
the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $122,056.
At December 31, 2017, the governmental funds of the Hughsonville Fire District reported a combined fund balance
of $1,107,609, a (40.67) percent decrease over last year.
Fiduciary Funds-, The District acts in an agency capacity for. assets associated. with the Length of Service Award
Program {" LOSAP"). These assets are recorded in a separate fund because they cannot be used to finance District
operations.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund actual revenues exceeded budgeted revenues by $91,181. The majority of this amount relates to sales
of equipment. General Fund actual expenditures were $921,623 more than budgeted expenditures primarily due to
the purchase of a new truck.

HUGHSONVILLE-FIRE DISTRICT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Hughsonville Fire District (the "District") was established in 1934.and is governed by the general laws of the
State of New York (the "State"). The Board of Fire Commissioners is the legislative body responsible for overall
operations.
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of the statements and are intended to be read with them.
A. ENTITY DEFINITION CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES
All activities and functions performed for the Hughsonville, Fire. District are its direct responsibility. No other
organizations have been included or excluded from the reporting entity. The financial reporting entity includes
organizations; functions and activities over which elected officials exercise oversight responsibility.` Oversight
responsibility is determined on the basis of financial `iuterdependeticy. selection of 'governing- authority,
designation of management and accountability for fiscal matters.' to
B. FUND ACCOUNTING
The District uses funds and account groups to report on itsfinancial position and the results of its operations.
Fund accounting is designed. to demonstrate. legal compliance and to aid financial management by. segregating
transactions related to certain types of functions or activities.
The operations. of each fund are accounted for with a separate ,set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its
assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues and expenditures. Resources are allocated to and accounted for in
individual funds based. upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled.
The various funds are grouped by type :in the, financial. statements. The following fund types ; and account
groups are used by the District.
1. FUND TYPES: .
a Governmental Fund:Types -. are those through which most general functions of the District are financed.
The acquisition, use and balances of the District's .expendable financial resources. and the related current
liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds.
i. General Fund The General Fund is the general operating fund of.the District.: it is used to account
for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other fiinds.
ii. Reserve Fund - The Reserve Fund is designed to. segregate resources to providefor future
contingencies and plan for major capital outlays, thereby reducing the need to rely on borrowing or
outlays. of current revenue. to finance., such. events. For financial reporting purposes, the Reserve
fund is included in the General Fund. .
b. Fiduciary `Fund Types are use to account for assets held by the District in 'a trustee or custodial
capacity.
is Agency Fund - The Agency Fund is`custodial.in nature f assets equal liabilities) and does not involve
measurement of results of operations.
2. ACCOUNT GROUPS:
Account groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for non-current governmental
assets and liabilities. The two account groups are not "funds'', ; They are concerned only with the
measurement of financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of. operations_
Non -Current Governmental Assets Account Group This account group is established to account for the
land, buildings, improvements and other equipment utilized by the District for general operating purposes,
Non -Current Governmental Liabilities Account Group - This account group is established to account for
all long-term obligations of the District. It accounts for assets presently available for retirement of such
indebtedness and the amount to be raised in future years to retire those debt obligations.
HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING/MEASUREMENT FOCUS
The financial statements were prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting as prescribed by New York
State for the preparation of the Fire District annual financial report, which ' is a comprehensive basis of
accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues, expenditures and transfers - and the related assets and liabilities -
are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the
timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The accounting and reporting treatment; applied .to 'a. fund is determined by. -its measurement focus.
Measurement focus is the determination of what should be measured. All Governmental Funds are accounted
for on a spending or "financial. flow" measurement focus.
Thismeasurement focus means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally .included on their
balance sheets. . Governmental Fund operating .statements present increases (revenues and other financing
sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Real property taxes are recognized as revenue during the corresponding tax year., The taxes are collected in full
during. the period earned; therefore, no receivable is necessary. Penalties and miscellaneous revenues are
recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally not treasurable until actually received.
Investment earnings are recorded "'earned since they are measurable and available.'
Donated services are not reflected in this financial statement. The value of services performed by the volunteer
firefighters has not been determined by the District and is not recorded.
Expenditures are generally recognized .under the modified accrual. basis of accounting when the:.related fund
liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include principal and interest on ;general long-term debt,
which are recognized when due, and any service or payroll related taxes, fringes and benefits, which vest or
accumulate, which 'arc charged as an 'expenditure when paid or when'they are to be paid with currently
available resources.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes
arriounts:represented :by noncurrent assets and liabilities. Since they do `notaffect net current assets; such long-
term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type assets or liabilities.They are instead reported as
assets in the Non -Current Governmental Asset Account Group or as liabilities in the Non -Current
Governmental. Liabilities Account Group. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets or retire long-term debt are
recorded as expenditures in the .governmental funds,
D. BUDGETARY DATA

The District has not maintained historical cost.records for all of its capital asset inventory. Due to this lack of
cost basis information, the District has valued certain equipment using the estimated historical cost of the
capital asset calculated by back -trending.
General Obligation Debt:
Long-term obligations expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the Non -Current
Governmental Liabilities Account Group. The provision to be made in future Years' budgets for the repayment
of these obligations is also recorded in the Non -Current Governmental Liabilities Account Group.
Fund Balance -Reserves:
Portions of fund balance are segregated for future use and are, therefore, not available .for future appropriation
or expenditure.
Fund Balance Classification:
The following is a brief description of the five fund balance classifications, which are based primarily on the
extent to which a government is bound to observe' constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in
governmental funds:
Nonspendable:
Amounts that cannot be spent in the current period either because of their form or because they must be
maintained intact. Prepaid expenses are nonspendable assets because, by definition, the money has already
been spent:
10
HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
Restricted:
Amounts that are subject to externally enforceable legal purpose restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors or laws and regulations.,of. other governments or though constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation. Various New York State statutes allow local governments to establish reserve funds for various
purposes.. gince the State regulates the establishmerit, funding and use of these reserves, the District has
classified the following reserve funds as restricted fund. balances:
a. The Building Fund includes reserve funds established for future repair, improvement and renovation
projects. The balance at the end of 2017 was $271,009.
b. The Apparatus Fund includes .reserve funds established for future acquisition of new equipment and
-repairs. The balance at the end of 2017 was $713,494.
Committed:
Amounts that are subject to. a purpose constraint imposed by aformal action of the government's highest
level of decision snaking authority (tile Board of Fire Commissioners) before the end of the fiscal year. The
same level of formal action is required to remove the constraint.
Assigned:
Amounts that are subject to a purpose constraint that represents an intended use. established. by the
government's highest level of decision making authority"or by their designated body or official. The
purpose of the assignment must be narrower than the purpose of the General Fun and, .in `funds other than
the General Fund, assigned fund balance represents the residual amount of fund balance.
Unassigned:.
Represents the residual amount of fund. balance in, the ,General Fund. In. funds, other than the General bund,
this should only be used to report a deficit balance.
F. PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified accrual basis of accounting described
in Note I C requires management to make estimates and. assumptions that affect the reported. amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
: estimates::. .
G. RELATED PARTY
The District pays an hourly rate for the part time clerk who is the assistant chairman's spouse; for atotal gross
amount of $310 in 20.17.'
H. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The date to which events occurring atter December 31, 2017, the date of the most recent balance sheet, have
been evaluated for possible adjustment to the financial statements or disclosure is May 28, 2018; which is the
date the financial statements were available to be issued. -
ILDETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
A. PENSION PLANS
The District participates in the New York State. and Local Employees' Retirement System (ERS), which is a
cost sharing multiple -employer, public employee retirement system. The System offers a wide range of plans
and benefits which are related to years of service and final average salary, vesting of retirement benefits, death
and disability.
Plan Description:
The New York State ERS provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Obligations of
employers and employees to contribute and benefits to employees are governed by the New York Retirement
and Social Security Law. The System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to the New York
State Employees' Retirement System, 110 State Street, Albany NY 12244.

HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
Funding Policies:
Employees are not required to contribute to the ERS, except for Tier III, IV, V and VI members who joined the
New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System after July 27, 1976: Tier 111, IV and members
contribute 3% of their salary; Tier VI members' contribution rates 'vary between 3 - 6% depending on their
salary. The Comptroller shall certify annually the rates, expressed as proportions of member payroll and
employer contributions, used in computing the contributions required to be made by employers to the pension
accumulation fund. An Eligible Tier III or IV member with ten or more years of membership, or ten years
credited service, will not be required to contribute to the Retirement System, Tier V and. VI members must
continue to contribute throughout their employment.
The District is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The District's contribution made to the

was as follows for the plan years ended March 31:
ERS
2017 $ 4,200 ;
2016 $. 6,818
2015 $ 1t,99t
Pension Liabilities, Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to
Pensions:
At December 31, 2017, the District reported a liability of $12,551 for its proportionate share of the net pension
liability of the ERS..The net pension liability was measured as of March 3.1, 2017 and the total pension liability
used to'calculate the net pension liability: determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The District's
proportion of the net ,pension liability was based on a .projection of the District's long-term share of
contributions to the pension plan relative .to the projected 'contributions of all participating members, as
actuarially determined.
At March 31, 2017,. the District's allocated proportion of the net pension liability was .0001336% for ERS.
At December 31 2017, the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions from the following sources:
Differences between expected. and actual
experience
Changes of assumptions
Net difference between projected and actual
earnings on pension plan investments

HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
Actuarial Assumptions
.The total pension liability at March 31i.2017. was determined by using an .actuarial. valuation as of April 1,
2016, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to March. 31, 2017:. The: actuarial
valuation used the following actuarial assumptions:
ERS
Inflation 2.5%
Salary increases 3.8°Io
Investment rate of return (net of investment expense, including
inflation) .. 7.0%9
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to calculate the total pension liability was 7%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumes that contributions from plan members will be made at the current
contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially.
Based upon the assumptions, the System's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments.of current plan members. Therefore, the long term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total
pension liability.. .
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to the Discount Rate Assumption
The following presents the District'sproportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the
discount rate of 7% percent, as well as what the District's proportionate share of the net'pension liability would
be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is I-percentage=point lower (6'percent). or 1-6ercentage-point
higher (8 percent) than the current rate:

B. LENGTH OF SERVICE AWARD PROGRAM
The information contained in this note is based on information for the Hughsonville Fire District Service
Award Program for the program year ended on December 31, 2017, which is the most recent program year for
which complete information is available, Penflex, Inc. provided a valuation packet for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017 for the purposes of completing the audit. Information from that report is contained within
this footnote.
13
HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
The Hughsonville Fire District established a defined benefit Service Award Program (referred to as a "LOSAP"
length of service award program .. under Section 457(e)(1!) of the,Internal Revenlle Code) -effective: January
1, 1990 for the active volunteer frefighter:members of the Hughsonville Fire Department, The program was
established pursuant to Article I1 -A of the New York. State General Municipal Law. The program provides
municipally -funded deferred compensation to volunteer firefighters to facilitate the recruitment and retention of
active. volunteer firefighters. The Hughsonville Fire District is the sponsor of the program and Penflex, Inc, is
the program administrator.'
Under the program, participating volunteers begin tobe paid a service award upon attainment o£ the program
"entitlement age". The amount of the service award paid to a volunteer is based upon the number of years of
service credit the volunteer earned under'the program'for perfonning active volunteer firefighter activities.
Participation, Vesting and Service Credit:
Active volunteer firefighters who have reached the age of 16 and who have completed one year of firefighting
service are eligible to participate in the program. Participants acquire a'ponforfeitable right to a service award
after being credited with five years of firefighting service or upon. attaining the program's entitlement age while .
an active volunteer. The program's entitlement age is 62. An'active volunteer firefghter is credited with a year
of firefighting service far each calendar year atter the establishment of the` program in which he or she
-accumulates fifty points. Points are granted for the performance of certainfirefighter activities in accordance
with a system established by the sponsor on the basis of a statutory list of activities and point values. A
participant may also receive credit for five years of active volunteer firefighting service rendered prior to the
establishment of the program as an active volunteer firefighter member of the Hughsonville Fire Department.
Benefits
A participant's service award benefit is paid as a ten .year certain and continuous monthly payment life annuity.
The amount payable each month equals $20 multiplied by the total number of years of service credit earned by
the volunteer under the point system. The maximum number of years of service credit a participant may earn is
20 years under the program.
Currently,there are no. other forms of payment of a volunteer's earned service award under the program.
Except in the case of death or total and permanent disablement, service awards commence to be paid when a
participant. attains the entitlement age. Volunteers who continue to be active after attaining the entitlement age
and beginning to be paid a service award continue to have the opportunity to earn program credit and to thereby
increase their service award payments. The program provides death and disability benefits equal to the greater
of $10,000 or the actuarial value of the participant's earned service award at the time of death or disablement.
The program does not provide extra line -of -duty death or disability benefits. All death and. disability benefits
Are "self insured" and are paid from the program trust fund:
For a complete explanation of the program, a copy of the program document is available from the Fire District
Secretary.
Fiduciary Investment and Control:
After the end of each calendar year, the fire company prepares and -certifies a list of names of all •persons who
were active volunteer members of the fire company during the year and indicates which volunteers earned fifty
points. The certified list is delivered to the Board of Fire Commissioners for the Board's review and approval.
The fire company must maintain the point system records to verify each volunteer's points on forms provided
and/or approved by the Board of Fire Commissioners.
The Board of Fire Commissioners has retained Penflex, Inc. (Penflex) to assist in the administration of the
program. The services provided by Penflex are described in the following paragraphs..
Based on the certified calendar year volunteer firefighter listings, Pcnflex determines and certifies in writing to
the Board of Fire Commissioners the amount of the service award to be paid to a participant or to a participant's
designated beneficiary. The person(s) authorized by the Board of Fire Commissioners then authorizes, in
writing, the custodian of the Hughsonville Fire District Service Award Program trust funds to pay the service
award. No service award benefit payment is made without the written certification from Penflex and the -written
directive from the authorized representative of the Board of Fire Commissioners.
14
HUGHSONVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
Penflex bills the Hughsotnville Fire District for the services it provides. Penflex invoices are authorized for
payment by the Board of Fire'Commissioners in the same manner as any other invoice presented to the District
for payment: The District pays Penflex invoices from its General Fund.
Article 11-A requires that. program assets be held .in trust for the. exclusive, purpose of providing benefits to
participants and their beneficiaries or for the purpose of defraying the reasonable expenses of the operation and
administration of the program. The Board of hire Commissioners created a Service Award Program Trust Fund
through the adoption of a trust document, a copy of which is available from the Fire District Secretary. The
Board of Fire Commissioners is the program trustee: -
Authority to invest the program assets .is vested in the program trustee. Program assets are invested in
accordance with a statutory prudent person rule and in accordance with the written investment policy statement
adopted by the Board of Fire Commissioners.

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and

the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller

- modified accrual basis as of December 31, 2417, and the related statements of results of operation and changes in

Internal Control Over Financial ReportingLIJ
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Hughsonville Fire District's internal
®-
control over financial reporting to determine the audit procedures that ate appropriate in the circumstances for the
N
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
C„
the effectiveness of Hughsonville Fire District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of Hughsonville Fire District's internal control.
00
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
0
cV
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct
d
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
E
control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will
v
not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency or combination
of deficiencies in internal control, that is less severe than a material weakness yet important enough to -merit
Q
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to
be material weaknesses.

Comoliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Hughsonville Fire District's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts
and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of
financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed an
instance of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and
which is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses as item 17-1.
Hughsonville Fire District's Response to Findings
Hughsonville Fire District's response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule
of Findings and Responses. Hughsonville Fire District's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the
results of that testing, andnot to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.
