To the Supervisor and
Members of the Town Board
Town of Wappinger, New York
20 Middlebush Road
Wappingers Falls, New York 12590
..
..
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Wappinger, New
York, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, as listed in the Table of Contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Wappinger, New York's management.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these basic financial statements based on our audit.
..
..
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 the 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.
..
II
..
As discussed in Note A.C, to the financial statements, the Town has not recorded certain
infrastructure assets in governmental activities and, accordingly, has not recorded depreciation
expense on those assets. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America require that those general infrastructure assets be capitalized and depreciated, which
would increase the assets and expenses of the governmental activities. The amount by which this
departure would affect the assets and expenses of the governmental activities is not reasonably
determinable.
..
..
In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter discussed in the preceding paragraph, the
financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the
governmental activities, of the Town of Wappinger, New York, as of December 31,2007, or the
changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Town of Wappinger, New York's basic financial statements. The
combining non-major fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining non-major fund
financial statements have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
..
...
..
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 29, 2008 and April 30, 2009 on our consideration of the Town of Wappinger, New
York's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contract and grants. The report on compliance with laws and
regulations and internal control over financial reporting is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and, in considering the results of our audit,
this report should be read in conjunction the auditor's report on the basic financial statements.

...
...
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Wappinger, New York
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, which collectively comprise the Town of
Wappinger, New York's basic fmancial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
December 29, 2008 and April 30, 2009. 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 the Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reportine:
..
ill
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Wappinger's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Town of Wappinger, New York's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town
of Wappinger, New York's internal control over financial reporting.
..
..
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the preceding paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
iii
III
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination
of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Town of Wappinger's ability to initiate,
authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted
..

..
..
accounting principles such that there is more that a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the
Town of Wappinger's financial statements that is more than consequential will not be prevented
or detected by the Town's internal control. As more further described in a separate letter dated
December 29, 2008 and April 30, 2009, we consider the findings related to general ledger
reconciliations, escrow recordkeeping and escrow fund negative balances to reflect significant
deficiencies in internal controls.
..
..
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements
will not be prevented or detected by the Town of Wappinger's internal control.
lit
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies
in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily
disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However,
we believe that none of the significant deficiencies described above to be a material weakness.
III
..
We noted others findings involving the internal control over financial reporting that we have
reported to the management of the Town of Wappinger, New York in a separate letter dated
December 29,2008 and April 30, 2009.
III
Compliance and Other Matters
III
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town of Wappinger, New York'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 no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
III
..
We noted certain other matters that we reported to management of the Town of Wappinger in a
separate letter dated December 29,2008 and April 30, 2009.
III
..
The Town of Wappinger's response to the findings identified in our audit is included in the
separate letter described above. We did not audit the Town's response and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on it.
..
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Supervisor, Town Board,
Comptroller, management, and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

The majority of activity for the Town is presented in the General Fund. Fund Balance for the
General Fund decreased by $458,349 from 2006 to 2007. The major reason for the decrease
was the financing of a lawsuit settlement in the amount of $300,000, through a bond
anticipation note. Such notes are short term and do not result in the recording of revenue. As
funds are raised to pay the debt service, revenues will be recorded.

3. Activities regarding capital assets, long and short term debt
.
The Town spent over three million dollars on sixteen capital projects in 2007. The top
five projects were: the Carnwath (Greystone) Renovation, Fleetwood Water, Central
Wappinger Water, Highway Blacktop Maintenance, Highway Construction and
Maintenance, and the North Wappinger Water Projects. The expenditures for these projects
accounted for eighty-nine percent (89%) of the total capital expenditures.
.
..
iii
The Central Wappinger Water Improvement Area 1999 -2R project has connected six of the
Town's water districts to a common source of water. It is expected that the project will be
completed in the year 2008. The project expenses are funded entirely by the property owners
in the district. Long-term financing (serial bonds) was issued in 2007 in the amount of
$7,380,000, part ofa total issue of$11,580,OOO.
.
..
The other projects related to town-wide road blacktopping and drainage, fuel tank
replacements, roof stabilization, and water and sewer district improvements, other than grant
revenue, are funded by the General, Highway Funds or by the property owners in each water
and sewer district. Future bonding is expected to be issued to fund these projects. Please
review the notes to the financial statements for information regarding these issues.
.
..
Long Term Debt
..
The Town received a Moody's rating of Aa3 when it issued new bonds in 2007 and has
maintained this rating. This is the fourth highest rating possible and the highest for a
municipality in Dutchess County.
.
Total long term debt at the end of 2007 was $31,025,000. Only, $6,434,315 of this balance is
General Fund debt. The majority of the Town's debt relates to its water and sewer districts
amounting to $9,413,189 and $15,177,496, respectively. Water and sewer debt is paid by
the property owners in the respective districts.

II
The Town currently has three Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) outstanding, $3,657,000, all
maturing May 5,2008 and funding various projects within the Town. Please review the notes
to the financial statements for further information regarding short- term debt.
..
4. Currently Known Facts Bearing on the Future
..
The Town of Wappinger, participating in the Southern Dutchess Consortium, whose purpose
was to bring property assessments to full valuation, to provide equitable tax distribution
among all homeowners within the town, county and shared school districts, completed the
project in 2007. This revaluation went into effect for the 2008 tax levy.
III
..
In addition, the Town was able to settle sixteen tax certiorari cases in 2008, some of which
were pending since 2000. In fifteen cases, the Town received favorable decisions and in one
case the settlement resulted in a minor refund.
..
The assessment roll established in 2008 for 2009 taxes resulted in homestead assessments
decreasing by an average of 5.85%. However, overall, the proportion of non-homestead to
homestead assessments approximately changed by 2%. Non-homestead assessments for 2009
are 37% of the total and homestead assessments are 63%, instead of 35% and 65%,
representing a shift in the tax burden away from homeowners to commercial properties.
..
..
The Town, at an approximate cost of$35k, implemented an updated financial software suite,
replacing a DOS based product last updated in 1998. The new package is GASB 45
compliant and ties together the accounts from the Town Clerk, Code Enforcement,
Recreation and SewerIW ater department, thus eliminating journal entry errors from
duplicative efforts.
The IT infrastructure was upgraded with the implementation of the software package,
moving forward two generations of operating system with some resultant hardware
upgrades. This has allowed greater departmental functionality and provided a higher level of
security when paired with the new servers. A redundant backup system was employed for
the accountant's computer to ensure the integrity of the information.

4. Currently Known Facts Bearing on the Future, (Continued)
..
..
The Town moved from an appointed comptroller to a competitive Civil Service class
accountant to alleviate appointment changes due to changes in the political climate. As the
Town operates on a two year election cycle, they have experienced three comptrollers in the
past ten years. Effective January 2009, the accountant is insulated from the political process
and subject to removal only through Civil Service proceedings. As this decision was made in
a bi-partisan fashion, it is believed that this will provide stability to a previously changeable
environment. Additionally, the appointee holds an international CPA designation, Master of
Business Administration/finance degree, lending to the integrity of the decision.
In addition, the Town suffered a loss in personnel in May of 2007 through the bookkeeper
position, and chose not to fill such until the start of the new administration in January 2008.
The position was filled with a candidate with more than ten years of corporate bookkeeping
expenence.
..
..
III
..
Emphasis has been placed on the organization and correction of the Town's more than 250
escrow accounts held on behalf of planning or zoning projects. While approximately 50% of
the accounts reflect current projects before the Town, the remainder are split into dormant or
completed projects, with funds either overdue to the applicant in a range of2 to 15 years or
funds due to the Town, with some exceeding the statutory collectable period of six years. The
Town has rectified thirty-five accounts in 2008.
..
..
III
In addition, the Town has dedicated an employee, certified through Civil Service as an
account clerk, to oversee the escrow accounts in July 2008.
..
In order to strengthen the verification process, the Town Board has undertaken a review of all
vouchers/invoices prior to payment in 2008. While this has been a cumbersome process, as
the review occurs at the end of the twice monthly evening meetings, corrections in the
payment process have been incremental. An added benefit of this process allows the taxpayer
to review the expenses via the internet.
..
..
The Town plans to complete the retroactive reporting of its infrastructure assets in 2009 as
well.

The Town of Wappinger website was resurrected in May of2008 to a point that a majority
of processes can be initiated or completed on-line. The Town plans to further these functions
in the upcoming years.
...
The Court offices upgraded their payment process to include the use of credit cards, thus
eliminating the frequency of collection actions or bounced checks.

..
..
Net change in fund balance - total govenunent funds
$ 9,163,682
The change in net assets reported for govennnental activities in the
statement of activities is different because:
..
..
Govenmlental funds report all capital outlays as expenditures.
However, in the statement of activities, the cost of certain assets
is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as
depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays
exceeded depreciation expense in the current period.
2,587,279
iIIIlII
..
Bond proceeds are reported on the financing sources in govennnental
funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the
statement of net assets, however, issuing debt increases long-term
liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities. Sinlilarly,
repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds
but reduces the liability in the statement of net assets.

In the statement of activities, interest is accrued on outstanding
bonds, whereas in govennnental funds, an interest e~'Penditure is
reported when due. This amount represents the change between
what was paid and what was accrued through 2007
(47,278)
..
..
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities, such as
compensated absences and landtillliabilities do not require
the use of current financial resources and therefore are not
reported as expenditures in govenunental funds. This amount
represents the change between what was paid and what was
accrued through 2007.

TOWN OF WAPPINGER, NEW YORK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31.2007
...
NOTE A - Summary of Simificant Accounting: Policies
The Town of Wappinger, New York (lithe Town") was incorporated on May 20, 1875, under the
provisions of the State of New York. The Town operates under a Town Board form of
government, consisting of a Supervisor and four Councilmen/women. The Supervisor serves as
the Chief Executive Officer and as the Chief Fiscal Officer of the Town.
...
...
The Town provides the following services: highway maintenance, water, sewer, planning,
zoning, building and safety inspection, lighting, and culture and recreation.
The Town's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental units (GAAP). The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for
state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). The
Town is also required to follow the pronouncements ofthe Financial Accounting Standards
Board (F ASB) issued through November 30, 1989 (when applicable) that do not conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements, .in preparing its government-wide financial statements.
The more significant accounting policies established by GAAP and used by the Town in
preparing its government-wide and fund financial statements are discussed below.
...
...
..
..
1. The Reporting: Entitv
The Town, for financial purposes, includes all of the funds relevant to the operations
of the Town of Wappinger, New York. The financial statements include organizations,
function and activities that are controlled by or dependent upon the Town. Control or
dependence is determined on the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority, funding and
appointment of the respective governing board. Under these criteria, no other entities are
included in the Town's financial statements.
iii
III
..
2. Basic Financial Statements - Government-Wide Statements
..
The Town's basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the
Town as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the Town's major funds). Both
the government-wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either
governmental or business type activities. The Town's parks and recreation, public works,
and general administrative services are classified as governmental activities. The Town's
water services are also classified as governmental activities since user fees are not
intended to cover all costs including depreciation.

NOTE A - Summary of Si!mificant Accountin2 Policies (Continued)
2. Basic Financial Statements - Government-Wide Statements (Cont'd)
..
1M
In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets, the governmental activities columns is
presented on a consolidated basis by column, and is reported on a full accrual, economic
resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term
debt and obligations. The Town's net assets are reported in three parts-invested in
capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net assets; and unrestricted net assets. The
Town first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities.
..
1M
The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each
of the Town's functions or activities. The functions are also supported by general
government revenues (property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental revenues,
fines, permits and charges, etc.). The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses
(including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and capital grants.
Program revenues must be directly associated with the function (public works,
community and youth services, etc.). Operating grants include operating-specific and
discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects
capital-specific grants.
..
..
..
The net costs are normally covered by general revenue (property, sales or mortgage taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, interest income, etc).
..
This government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the Town as an entity
and the change in the Town's net assets resulting from the current year's activities.
..
3. Basic Financial Statements - Fund Financial Statements
..
The financial transactions of the Town are reported in individual funds in the fund
financial statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprises its assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories:
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds within
the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered major if it is the
primary operating fund of the Town or meets the following criteria:
..
..
..
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual
governmental fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of
that category or type; and

for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.
..
The following fund types are used by the Town:
-
A. Governmental Funds
...
The focus of the governmental funds' measurement (in the fund statements) is upon
determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses,
and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income.
-
1.
..
2.
..
3.
..
The following is a description of the governmental funds of the Town:
General fund is the general operating fund of the Town. It is used to account for
all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The General Fund is considered a major fund and is presented separately.
Highway fund is used to record the revenues and expenditures related to the
maintenance of Town roadways. The Highway Fund is considered a major fund
and is presented separately.
Sewer Fund is used to record the revenues and expenditures related to the
delivery of sewer services to the Town's customers. The Sewer Fund is
considered a major fund and is presented separately.
..
4. Capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition and construction of major capital facilities. The Capital Projects Fund
is considered a major fund and is presented separately. However, no budgetary
comparison schedule is presented as required supplemental information, as the
Town is not legally required to adopt an annual budget for the Capital Projects
Fund.
IiIII
..
..
5. Non-major funds include those that are used to account for the proceeds of
specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified
purposes. These include the Water, Lighting and Miscellaneous (Ambulance)
Funds.

..
NOTE A - Summary of Simificant Accountin2 Policies (Continued)
B. Fiduciary Funds
..
Fiduciary Funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others
and therefore are not available to support Town programs. The reporting focus is on net
assets and changes in net assets and are reported using accounting principles similar to
proprietary funds.
The Town's fiduciary funds are presented in the fiduciary fund financial statements.
Since by definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party and cannot
be used to address activities or obligations of the government, these funds are not
incorporated into the government-wide statements.
..
..
..
4. Basis of Accountin2
..
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses
are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to
the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied.
..
A. Accrual
..
The governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements and
fiduciary fund financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
B. Modified Accrual
..
..
The governmental funds financial statements are presented on the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recorded when susceptible to accrual; i.e., both measurable and available.
"Available" means collectible within the current period or within 60 days after year-
end. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of
accounting when the related liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is
that principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, if any, is recognized
when due.

5. Financial Statement Amounts
..
A. Cash and Investments
..
Cash includes amounts in demand and time deposits, as well as, short-term investments.
State statutes and the Town's own written investment policy govern the investment
policies of the Town. The Town may invest its funds in banks or trust companies
authorized to do business in the State of New York, as well as investing in obligations
of the U. S. Treasury, U.S. Agencies, and obligations of the State of New York and its
political subdivisions. Deposits not covered by Federal Deposit Insurance, are
collateralized by the banking institutions with investments governed under state
statutes. Short-term investments consist of investments in repurchase agreements. The
repurchase agreements involve purchases by a broker of portfolio securities
concurrently with an agreement by the broker to sell the same securities at a later date
at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Town can invest
its excess cash balances at competitive interest rates. The Town reports its repurchase
agreements at market value, which approximates cost plus accrued interest.

Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Town's deposits
may not be returned to it. While the Town does not have a specific policy for custodial
credit risk, New York State statues govern the Town's investment policies, as
discussed previously in these Notes. Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 40 Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosure directs that deposits be
disclosed as exposed to custodial credit risk if they are not covered by depository
insurance, or collateralized by securities held by the Town or its agent in the Town's
name. The Town's cash balances were fully collateralized with securities held by the
Town's third party custodian and not subject to custodial credit risk.

..
Inventories consist of significant expendable supplies primarily sand and road salt and are

C. Capital Assets
Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $500 or more are reported at
historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair market
value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that
significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on all assets is provided
on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
...
..

Buildings
Infrastructure - Water & Sewer
Infrastructure - Roads
Machinery and equipment
Improvements
15-40 years
40 years

..
GASB Statement No. 34 requires the Town to report and depreciate new infrastructure
assets effective with the beginning of 2003. Infrastructure assets include roads, bridges,
underground pipe (other than related to utilities), traffic signals, etc. These infrastructure
assets are likely to be the largest asset class of the Town. Neither their historical cost nor
related depreciation had historically been reported in the financial statements. The
retroactive reporting of infrastructure is subject to an extended implementation period
and is first effective for fiscal years ending in 2007. The Town implemented the general
provisions of GASB Statement No. 34 in 2003 but had not implemented the retroactive
reporting of infrastructure assets by the end of 2007 as required. It expects to implement
those retroactive infrastructure provisions in the year ending December 31, 2008.

D. Accumulated Compensated Absences
It is the Town's policy to permit employees of the Highway Department to accumulate a
limited amount of earned but unused vacation and sick leave, which will be paid to
employees upon separation from the Town's service. Other Town employees may
accumulate a limited amount of unused compensated absences as well. However, for
other Town employees, only unused vacation leave will be paid upon separation from the
Town's service. The Town accrues a liability for compensated absences, which meet the
following criteria:
1. The Town's obligations relating to employees' rights to compensation for future
absences is attributable to employee's services already rendered;
2. The obligation relates to rights that vest or accumulate;
..
..
..
..
3. Payment of the compensation is probable;
..
4. The amount can be reasonably estimated.
iii
In accordance with the above criteria, the Town has accrued a liability for vacation pay,
which has been earned and not taken by Town employees as of December 31, 2007, in
the amount of $228,901. The non-current portion (the amount estimated to be used in
subsequent fiscal years) for governmental funds is maintained separately and represents a
reconciling item between the fund and government-wide presentations. It is anticipated
that none of these liabilities will be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources.
III
..
E. Interfund Activitv
III
Interfund activity is reported as either loans, services provided, reimbursements or
transfers. Loans are reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are
subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or
near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements
are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its
related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers.
Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the
reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements.

The Town of Wappinger participates in the New York State and Local Employees'
Retirement System (ERS), the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System (PFRS) and the Public Employees' Group Life Insurance Plan (Systems).
These are cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement systems. The Systems provide
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 State Retirement and Social Security Law (NYSRSSL).
.
.
As set forth in the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller of the State of New York
(Comptroller) serves as sole trustee and administrative head of the Systems. The
Comptroller shall adopt and may amend rules and regulations for the administration
and transaction of the business of the Systems and for the custody and control of their
funds. The Systems issue a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by
writing to the New York State and Local Retirement Systems, 110 State Street,
Albany, New York 12244.

The Systems are noncontributory except for employees who joined the New York
State and Local Employees' Retirement System after July 27, 1976 who contribute
3% of their salary. Under the authority of the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller shall
certify annually the rates expressed as proportions of payroll of members, which shall
be used in computing the contributions required to be made by employers to the
pension accumulation fund.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Town provides health insurance coverage
and survivor benefits for retired employees and their survivors. Substantially all of the
Town employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement
age while working for the Town. Health care benefits and survivors benefits are
provided through an insurance company whose premiums are based on the benefits paid
during the year. The Town recognizes the cost of providing benefits by recording its
share of insurance premiums as an expenditure in the year paid.
..
..
For the year of 2007 approximately $54,213 was paid on behalf of seventeen retirees, and
recorded as expenditures in the General and Special Revenue Funds.
..
I. Propertv Taxes
The Town submits an approved budget to the Dutchess County Commissioner of Finance
by December 5th of the previous year. The County then establishes the warrant for the
year, which is due and payable on or about January 1 of each year. The Town collects
the taxes on behalf of the Town and County without penalty through February 28th and
with penalties and interest through August 31st. The Town's portion of the taxes is
recognized and transferred prior to the County's portion. Therefore, the Town receives its
entire tax, leaving the unpaids to be collected by the County Commissioner of Finance.

L. Risk Mana2ement
The Town of Wappinger assumes the liability for most risk including, but not limited to,
property damage and personal injury liability. Such risks are covered by the purchase of
commercial insurance. Judgments and claims are recorded when it is probable that an
asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated. Workers compensation coverage is provided through a
retrospective policy, wherein premiums are recorded based on the ultimate cost of the
experience to date of workers in similar occupations. The Town does not estimate
claims, which may have occurred but are not reported in areas where the Town is not
insured.
...
...
M. Use of Estimates
..
.
The preparation of basic financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the basic financial
statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Tri-Municioal Sewer Commission
..
As a result of a consent judgment signed between the Town and the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation, regarding alleged environmental violations, the Town was
required to fund construction of a sewer line to the Tri-Municipal Sewer Treatment Plant, plus a
one million gallon expansion of said plant. The plant is owned and operated by the Tri-
Municipal Sewer Commission, made up of representatives of the Town of Poughkeepsie and the
Village of Wappingers Falls. The Town, therefore, does not have ownership rights, nor does it
have voting rights on the Commission's governing board.
.
..
..
Subsequently, in January 1999, the Town Board authorized the Phase 3A Sewer Improvement
Project to further expand the Commission's sewage treatment facility, from 2.4 million gallon per
day capacity to 3.4 million gallon per day capacity, the costs of which were also to be funded by
the Town.
..
Funding for these projects has been provided by the issuance of bond anticipation notes and
serial bonds. Currently there is one bond anticipation note in the amount of $125,000
outstanding and five serial bond issues outstanding, with an original issue total of $27,931,400
and a current total of $14,812,000. Debt service is provided by the residents of two sewer
districts.
..
..
3. Central Waooin2er Water Improvement Area 99-2R
In February 2001, the Town Board adopted a Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of
$8,590,000 in serial bonds to pay the costs of water improvement. As of December 31,2007, the
Town has issued $8,490,000 of this authorization in bonds and notes to pay for the costs of
aforesaid project. In August 2007, the Town issued $7,380,000 in serial bonds as permanent
financing. The current outstanding balance is $7,380,000.
The costs incurred on the project amounted to $8,075,246, as of December 31,2007.

the Statement of Net Assets. The costs of both closure and post closure monitoring are
ordinarily recognized over the expected useful life of the landfill. However, since the landfill
has stopped accepting refuse and is now closed, any additional costs over the estimate is
being recognized as incurred. The Town incurred $4,423 in monitoring costs during 2007.
The future costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology or subsequent changes
in regulations.

Note L - New Reportin2 Standard
..
In June 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 45
Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post Employment Benefits Other Than
Pensions. This Statement establishes certain new financial reporting requirements for state and
local governments throughout the United States. When implemented, it will require the
reporting of liabilities pertaining to post employment benefits earned by employees on a current
basis. The Town is required to implement this standard for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The Town is in the process of implementing the provisions of GASB Statement 45. The
implementation ofGASB Statement 45 will have a substantive effect on the Town's government
wide financial position. However, the Town does not believe that it will have a significant effect
on its governmental (fund) financial position, upon which the Town's budgets are based and
taxes are raised.
