INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT AND FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEDULES

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019

Independent Auditors' Report

The Honorable Members of the Park Commission Morris County Park Commission Morristown, New Jersey

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements – regulatory basis of the various funds of the Morris County Park Commission, (the "Commission"), a component unit of the County of Morris, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the “Division”) to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting, and the budget laws of New Jersey; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, audit requirements prescribed by the Division, 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Commission’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

The Honorable Members of the Park Commission Morris County Park Commission Page 2 May 29, 2020 Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles As described in Note 1, the financial statements are prepared by the Commission on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting and the budget laws of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for the Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America the financial position of each fund and account group of the Commission as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, or the changes in financial position where applicable, thereof for the years then ended. Basis for Qualified Opinion The Commission’s general fixed assets account group is stated at historical cost or estimated historical cost in the accompanying financial statements. We were unable to obtain sufficient evidence to support the cost of the fixed assets of the general fixed assets account group. As more fully described in Note 1, due to the length of time over which these fixed assets were acquired, it is not practical to determine their actual costs. Therefore, based upon the underlying accounting records, we have not audited the general fixed assets account group. Qualified Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the various funds and account group of the Morris County Park Commission as of as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of operations and changes in fund balance, where applicable, of such funds, thereof for the years then ended on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division to demonstrate compliance with the Division’s regulatory basis of accounting and the budget laws of New Jersey, as described in Note 1.

Other Matters Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements of the various funds that collectively comprise the Commission’s financial statements. The supplementary data schedules listed in the table of contents and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”) and New Jersey’s OMB Circular 15-08, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.

Page 2

The Honorable Members of the Park Commission Morris County Park Commission Page 3 May 29, 2020 The supplementary data schedules and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the various fund financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the various fund financial statements or to the various fund financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary data schedules and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 29, 2020 on our consideration of the Morris County Park Commission’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Morris County Park Commission’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Reporting Entity

Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Codification Section 2100, "Defining the Financial Reporting Entity" establishes standards to determine whether a governmental component unit should be included in the financial reporting entity. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with a primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The primary government is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A legally separate, tax-exempt organization should be reported as a component unit of a reporting entity if all of the following criteria are met: (1) The economic resources received or held by the separate organization are entirely or almost entirely for the direct benefit of the primary government, its component units, or its constituents. (2) The primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, a majority of the economic resources received or held by the separate organization. (3). The economic resources received or held by an individual organization that the specific primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, are significant to that primary government. As the financial reporting entity was established in accordance with New Jersey statutes, the requirements of GASB Codification Section 2100 were not followed and, accordingly, the reporting entity could be different from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Commission is a component unit of the County of Morris under the provisions of GASB Codification Section 2100.

B. Description of Funds The accounting policies of the Commission conform to the accounting practices applicable to

municipalities which have been prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the "Division"). Such practices are designed primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting, the Commission accounts for its financial transactions through the following separate funds.

Current Fund - Resources and expenditures for governmental operations of a general nature,

including federal and state grant funds. Trust Funds/Other Restricted Trust Funds - Receipt, custodianship and disbursement of funds

in accordance with the purpose for which each reserve was created, some of which are for the acquisition, development, or improvement of Park lands and educational programs pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:37-11.3.

General Capital Fund - Receipt and disbursement of funds for the acquisition of general

capital facilities, other than those acquired in the Current Fund.

Page 20



Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) B. Description of Funds (Cont.) General Fixed Assets Account Group (unaudited) – These accounts were established at cost

or estimated historical cost of land, land improvements, buildings and machinery and equipment of the Commission as discussed under the caption “Basis of Accounting.”

C. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses 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 more significant accounting policies in New Jersey follow. Revenue is recorded when received in cash except for certain amounts which may be due from

the State of New Jersey and for the prepayment of future years' revenue. Grant revenue is realized in the Current Fund when it is budgeted, in the Trust Funds when it is received and in the Capital Fund when improvements are authorized.

Expenditures are charged to operations based on budgeted amounts. Exceptions to this

general rule include: 1. Accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay and other employee amounts are not accrued. 2. Prepaid expenses, such as insurance premiums applicable to subsequent periods, are

charged to current budget appropriations in total. 3. Principal and interest on long-term debt are recognized when due. Expenditures, if any, in excess of appropriations, appropriation reserves or ordinances become

deferred charges which must be raised by future taxes. Outstanding encumbrances at December 31 are reported as a cash liability in the financial statements and constitute part of the statutory appropriation reserve balance. Appropriation reserves covering unexpended appropriation balances are automatically created at December 31 of each year and recorded as liabilities, except for amounts which may be cancelled by the governing body. Appropriation reserves are available, until lapsed at the close of the succeeding year, to meet specific claims, commitments or contracts incurred during the preceding fiscal year. Lapsed appropriation reserves are recorded as income.

Deferred Charges to Future Taxation – The General Capital Fund balance sheet can include

both funded and unfunded deferred charges. Funded means that bonds have been issued and are being paid off on a serial basis. Unfunded means the debt has been authorized but not permanently financed. A commission can eliminate an unfunded deferred charge by raising it in the budget or collecting a grant. The unfunded deferred charge may also be funded by selling bonds, by loans or by capital leases.

Page 21



Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

C. Basis of Accounting (Cont’d)

Had the Commission's financial statements been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, encumbrances would not be considered as expenditures; appropriation reserves would not be recorded; revenue susceptible to accrual would have been reflected without offsetting reserves and Federal and State grants and assistance would be recognized when earned, not when awarded and inventories would not be reflected as expenditures at the time of purchase, the Commission’s net OPEB liability and net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows, where applicable, would be recorded.

The cash basis of accounting is followed in the General Capital Fund.

Other significant accounting policies include:

Interfunds - Interfund receivables in the Current Fund are recorded with offsetting reserves which are created by charges to operations. Income is recognized in the year the receivables are liquidated. Interfund receivables in the other funds are not offset by reserves.

Management Estimates – The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Amounts include petty cash, change funds, amounts on deposit, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Investments – Investments are stated at cost.

Grants Receivable – Grants receivable represent total grant awards less amounts collected to date. Because the amount of grants funds to be collected are dependent on the total costs eligible for reimbursement, the actual amount collected may be less than the total amount awarded.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts – No allowance for uncollectible accounts has been recorded as all amounts are considered collectible.

Compensated Absences – Expenditures relating to unused vested accumulated vacation and sick pay are not recorded until paid.

General Fixed Assets (Unaudited) – general fixed assets are recorded at cost or estimated historical cost. Infrastructure assets are not included in general fixed assets, as per state directive. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the asset accounts; maintenance and minor repairs and replacements, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. Donated fixed assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. The total value recorded for general fixed assets is offset by a “Reserve for General Fixed Assets”. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and the reserve are adjusted accordingly. Assets recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group may also be recorded in the Current Fund and General Capital Fund. The values recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group and the Current Fund and the General Capital Fund may not always agree due to differences in valuation methods, timing of recognition of assets, and the recognition of infrastructure. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.

Note 2: Long-Term Debt

Summary of Park Commission Debt

The Local Bond Law governs the issuance of bonds to finance general Commission capital expenditures. All bonds are retired in serial installments within the statutory period of usefulness. All bonds issued by the County on behalf of the Commission are general obligation bonds. The County of Morris’s full faith and credit and taxing power have been pledged to the payment of the general obligation principal and interest where such principal and interest is not funded by other sources.

Schedule of Annual Debt Service for the Next Five Years andThereafter for Bonded Debt

Green Acres Loans Payable On January 16, 1985, the County became the first local unit in the State to be approved for the Green

Acres Trust Program. The program was developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to provide low interest loans to local governments for the acquisition, preservation and improvement of land for recreation.

Through December 31, 2019, the County has borrowed funds under three separate projects, two of

which were retired in 2013. The loan balance for the remaining project as of the end of the year is as follows:

Green Acres Loans Payable

Patriots Path/Schooley's Mountain 55,600.85$

Payments of principal and interest on the loan are required to be made once the funds earmarked for a specific project have been completely drawn down. Payments are to commence nine months after the final drawdown date and are to continue on a semi-annual basis over a period of 10 to 20 years. Interest, on the loan, is at the rate of 2% annually on the outstanding balance. The County has appropriated $22,915.00 in its 2020 budget to fund principal and interest payments for 2020 for the above project.

Net Pension Liability

The State of New Jersey Public Employees’ Retirement System’s (PERS) net pension liability was calculated to be $23,330,608 at December 31, 2018. The State of New Jersey Police and Firemen’s Retirement System’s (PFRS) net pension liability was calculated to be $7,881,610 at December 31, 2018. See Note 4 for further information on the PERS and PFRS.

Net OPEB Liability The Commission’s Net OPEB was calculated to be $114,576,012. See Note 15 for further information on the net OPEB liability.

Page 25



Note 3: Fund Balance Appropriated

Fund balance of $2,894,672.35 at December 31, 2019 has been appropriated as revenue in the 2020 Current Fund budget.

Note 4: Pension Plans

Commission employees participate in one of the two contributory, defined benefit public employee retirement systems: The State of New Jersey Public Employee’s Retirement System (PERS) or the State of New Jersey Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS).

A. Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS)

Plan Description The State of New Jersey, Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of New Jersey, Division of Pensions and Benefits (the Division). For additional information about the PERS, please refer to the Division’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) which can be found at www.state.nj.us/treasury/pensions/financial-reports.shtml. Benefits Provided The vesting and benefit provisions are set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A. PERS provides retirement, death and disability benefits. All benefits vest after ten years of service, except for medical benefits, which vest after 25 years of service or under the disability provisions of PERS. The following represents the membership tiers for PERS: Tier

1 Members who were enrolled prior to July 1, 20072 Members who were eligible to enroll on or after July 1, 2007 and prior to November 2, 20083 Members who were eligible to enroll on or after November 2, 2008 and prior to May 22, 20104 Members who were eligible to enroll on or after May 22, 2010 and prior to June 28. 20115 Members who were eligible to enroll on or after June 28, 2011

Definition

Service retirement benefits of 1/55th of final average salary for each year of service credit is available to Tiers 1 and 2 members upon reaching age 60 and to Tier 3 members upon reaching age 62. Service retirement benefits of 1/60th of final average salary for each year of service credit is available to Tier 4 members upon reaching age 62 and to Tier 5 members upon reaching age 65. Early retirement benefits are available to Tiers 1 and 2 members before reaching age 60, to Tiers 3 and 4 with 25 or more years of service credit before age 62 and Tier 5 with 30 or more years of service credit before age 65. Benefits are reduced by a fraction of a percent for each month that a member retires prior to the age at which a member can receive full early retirement benefits in accordance with their respective tier. Tier 1 members can receive an unreduced benefit from age 55 to age 60 if they have at least 25 years of service. Deferred retirement is available to members who have at least 10 years of service credit and have not reached the service retirement age for the respective tier.

Note 4: Pension Plans (Cont’d) A. Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) (Cont’d)

Contributions

The contribution policy for PERS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and requires contributions by active members and contributing members. The local employers’ contribution amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provided an option for local employers of PERS to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such employers will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability is being paid by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years, which began with the payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and are adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of assets. Commission contributions to PERS amounted to $1,075,627.25 for 2019. The employee contribution rate was 7.50% effective July 1, 2018. Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense At June 30, 2018, the Commission’s liability was $23,330,608 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2017 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2018. The Commission’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Commission’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2018, the Borough's proportion was 0.1026%, which was a decrease of 0.0044% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017. The Borough has rolled forward the net pension liability as of June 30, 2018 with no adjustments. The State of New Jersey Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS)’ valuation cycle is July 1 instead of December 31. The roll forward methodology puts them a year in arrears in terms of valuation. The Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey is permitting municipalities to include the June 30, 2018 pension information in the Notes to the Financial Statements as the June 30, 2019 pension information has not been released as of the date of this audit. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Commission recognized actual pension expense in the amount of $1,075,627.25.

Page 27




Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability for the June 30, 2018 measurement date was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2017 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2018. This actuarial valuation used the following actuarial assumptions: Inflation Rate 2.25% Salary Increases: Through 2026 1.65 – 4.15% based on age Thereafter 2.65 – 5.15% based on age Investment Rate of Return 7.00% Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Employee Pre-retirement Mortality Table for male and female active participants. For local employees, mortality tables are set back 2 years for males and 7 years for females. In addition, the tables provide for future improvements in mortality from the base year of 2013 using a generational approach based on the Conduent modified 2014 projection scale. Post-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Male and Female Mortality Tables (set back 1 year for males and females) for service retirements and beneficiaries of former members. In addition, the tables for service retirements and beneficiaries of former members provide for future improvements in mortality from 2012 to 2013 using Projection Scale AA and using a generational approach based on the Conduent 2014 projection scale thereafter. Disability retirement rates used to value disabled retirees were based on the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table (set back 3 years for males and set forward one year for females).

The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2017 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2014. It is likely that future experience will not exactly conform to these assumptions. To the extent that actual experience deviates from these assumptions, the emerging liabilities may be higher or lower than anticipated. The more the experience deviates, the larger the impact on future financial statements. Long Term Expected Rate of Return In accordance with State statute, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.00% at June 30, 2018) is determined by the State Treasurer, after consultation with the Directors of the Division of Investments and Division of Pensions and Benefits, the Board of Trustees and the actuaries. The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in PERS’ target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018 are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.66% as of June 30, 2018. This single blended discount rate was based on the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.00% and a municipal bond rate of 3.87% as of June 30, 2018 based on the Bond Buyer Go 20 Bond Municipal Bond Index which includes tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made based upon the contribution rate in the most recent fiscal year. The local employers contributed 100% of their actuarially determined contributions. Based on those assumptions, the plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2046. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to projected benefit payments through June 30, 2046, and the municipal bond rate was applied to projected benefit payments after that date in determining the total pension liability.

Note 4: Pension Plans (Cont’d)

B. Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS) (Cont’d) Benefits Provided (Cont’d) Service retirement benefits are available at age 55 and are generally determined to be 2% of final compensation for each year of creditable service, as defined, up to 30 years plus 1% for each year of service in excess of 30 years. Members may seek special retirement after achieving 25 years of creditable service, in which benefits would equal 65% (tiers 1 and 2 members) and 60% (tier 3 members) of final compensation plus 1% for each year of creditable service over 25 years but not to exceed 30 years. Members may elect deferred retirement benefits after achieving ten years of service, in which case benefits would begin at age 55 equal to 2% of final compensation for each year of service. The contribution policy for PFRS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:16A and requires contributions by active members and contributing members. The Local employers’ contribution amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provided an option for local employers of PFRS to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such employers will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries will determine the unfunded liability of the retirement system, by employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability is being paid by the employer in level annual amounts over a period of 15 years, which began with the payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and are adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of the assets. Special Funding Situation Under N.J.S.A. 43:16A-15, local participating employers are responsible for their own contributions based on actuarially determined amounts, except where legislation was passed which legally obligated the State if certain circumstances occurred. The legislation, which legally obligates the State, is as follows: Chapter 8, P.L. 2000, Chapter 318, P.L. 2001, Chapter 86, P.L. 2001, Chapter 511, P.L. 1991, Chapter 109, P.L. 1979, Chapter 247, P.L. 1993 and Chapter 201, P.L. 2001. The amounts contributed on behalf of the local participating employers under this legislation is considered to be a special funding situation as defined by GASB Statement No. 68 and the State is treated as a nonemployer contributing entity. Since the local participating employers do not contribute under this legislation directly to the plan (except for employer specified financed amounts), there is no net pension liability or deferred outflows or inflows to report in the financial statements of the local participating employers related to this legislation. However, the notes to the financial statements of the local participating employers must disclose the portion of the nonemployer contributing entities’ total proportionate share of the collective net pension liability that is associated with the local participating employer. The June 30, 2018 State special funding situation net pension liability amount is the accumulated difference between the annual actuarially determined State obligation under the special funding situation and the actual State contribution through the valuation date. The State special funding situation pension expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 is the actuarially determined contribution amount that the State owes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The pension expense is deemed to be a State administrative expense due to the special funding situation.

Special Funding Situation (Cont’d)

Commission contributions to PFRS amounted to $569,438 for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the State of New Jersey contributed $63,405 to the PFRS for normal pension benefits on behalf of the Commission, which is less than the contractually required contribution of $122,606. The employee contributions for PFRS are 10.00% of employees' annual compensation, as defined.

Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense

At June 30, 2018, the Commission’s liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability was $7,881,610. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2017 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2018. The Commission’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Commission’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2018, the Commission’s proportion was .0582%, which was an increase of .0003% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017. The Commission has rolled forward the net pension liability as of June 30, 2018 with no adjustments. The State of New Jersey Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS)’ valuation cycle is July 1 instead of December 31. The roll forward methodology puts them a year in arrears in terms of valuation. The Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey is permitting municipalities to include the June 30, 2018 pension information in the Notes to the Financial Statements as the June 30, 2019 pension information has not been released as of the date of this audit. Additionally, the State’s proportionate share of the net pension liability attributable to the Commission is $1,070,586 as of June 30, 2018. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2017 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2018. The State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the Commission was based on a projection of the Commission’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2018, the State's proportion was .0582%, which was an increase of .0003% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017 which is the same proportion as the Commission’s. The Commission has rolled forward the net pension liability as of June 30, 2018 with no adjustments. The State of New Jersey Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS)’ valuation cycle is July 1 instead of December 31. The roll forward methodology puts them a year in arrears in terms of valuation.

State's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability Associated with the Commission 1,070,586

Total Net Pension Liability 8,952,196$

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Commission recognized total pension expense of $569,438.

Actuarial Assumptions:

The total pension liability for the June 30, 2018 measurement date was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2017 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2018. This actuarial valuation used the following actuarial assumptions:

Inflation Rate 2.25% Salary Increases: Through 2026 2.10% - 8.98% based on age Thereafter 3.10% - 9.98% based on age

Investment Rate of Return 7.00%

Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy mortality tables projected on a generational basis from the base year of 2000 to 2013 using Projection Scale BB and the Conduent modified 2014 projection scale thereafter. For pre-retirement accidental mortality, a custom table with representative rates was used and there is no mortality improvement assumed. Post-retirement mortality rates for male service retirements are based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables projected on a generational basis using Projection Scale AA from base year of 2012 to 2013 and the Conduent modified 2014 projection scale thereafter. Post-retirement mortality rates for female service retirements and beneficiaries were based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables projected on a generational basis from the base year of 2000 to 2013 using Projection Scale BB and the Conduent modified 2014 projection scales thereafter. Disability retirement rates were based on a custom table with representative rates and no mortality improvement assumed. The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2017 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013.

B. Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS) (Cont’d) Long Term Expected Rate of Return

In accordance with State statute, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.00% at June 30, 2018) is determined by the State Treasurer, after consultation with the Directors of the Division of Investments and Division of Pensions and Benefits, the Board of Trustees and the actuaries. The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in PFRS’ target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018 are summarized in the table on the following page.

B. Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS) (Cont’d) Discount Rate – PFRS The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.51% as of June 30, 2018. This single blended discount rate was based on the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.00% and a municipal bond rate of 3.87% as of June 30, 2018 based on the Bond Buyer Go 20 Bond Municipal Bond Index which includes tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers and the nonemployer contributing entity will be made based on the contribution rate in the most recent fiscal year. The State employer contributed 50% of the actuarially determined contributions and the local employers contributed 100% of their actuarially determined contributions. Based on those assumptions, the plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2062. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to projected benefit payments through June 30, 2062, and the municipal bond rate was applied to projected benefit payments after that date in determining the total pension liability.

Note 5: Accrued Sick and Vacation Benefits The Commission permits employees to accrue a limited amount of unused vacation and sick pay,

which may be taken as time off or paid upon retirement or separation at an agreed-upon rate. Employees will be reimbursed for accumulated sick time between 20% to 50% of the present day value of accumulated sick time up to a maximum of between $5,000 and $12,000 in accordance with the respective contractual agreements of the various Commission employees.

Employees are also permitted to accumulate into the next calendar year any unused earned annual

vacation time which is not taken or granted by reason of the pressure of work. Accumulation after one calendar year shall not be permitted.

It is estimated that the current cost of such unpaid compensation would approximate

$403,033.47. This amount is not reported either as an expenditure or a liability. It is expected that the cost of such unpaid compensation would be included in the Commission’s budget operating expenditures in the year in which it is used.

Note 6: Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents include change funds, amounts in deposits, money market accounts, and

short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Investments are stated at cost. The Commission classifies certificates of deposit which have original

maturity dates of more than three months but less than twelve months from the date of purchase, as investments.

GASB requires disclosure of the level of custodial credit risk assumed by the Commission in its cash,

cash equivalents and investments, if those items are uninsured or unregistered. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned.

Interest Rate Risk – In accordance with its cash management plan, the Commission ensures that any

deposit or investment matures within the time period that approximates the prospective need for the funds, deposited or invested, so that there is not a risk to the market value of such deposits or

investments. Credit Risk – The Commission limits its investments to those authorized in its cash management plan

which are those permitted under state statue as detailed on the following page. Custodial Credit Risk – The Commission’s policy with respect to custodial credit risk requires that the

Commission ensure that Commission funds are only deposited in financial institutions in which NJ municipalities are permitted to invest their funds.

Deposits: New Jersey statutes permit the deposit of public funds in public depositories located in New Jersey

which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or by any other agency of the United States that insures deposits or the State of New Jersey Cash Management Fund.

Page 36



Note 6: Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments (Cont’d) Deposits (Cont’d) New Jersey statutes require public depositories to maintain collateral for deposits of public funds that

exceed insurance limits as follows: The market value of the collateral must equal 5% of the average daily balance of collected

public funds on deposit, and

In addition to the above collateral requirement, if the public funds deposited exceed 75% of the capital funds of the depository, the depository must provide collateral having a market value at least equal to 100% of the amount exceeding 75%.

All collateral must be deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board

or a banking institution that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has capital funds of not less than $25,000,000.

Investments: New Jersey statutes permit the Commission to purchase the following types of securities: (1) Bonds or other obligations of the United States of America or obligations guaranteed by

the United States of America; (2) Government money market mutual funds; (3) Any obligation that a federal agency or a federal instrumentality has issued in accordance

with an act of Congress, which security has a maturity date not greater than 397 days from the date of purchase, provided that such obligation bears a fixed rate of interest not dependent on any index or other external factor;

(4) Bonds or other obligations of the local unit or bonds or other obligations of school districts

of which the local unit is a part or within which the school district is located; (5) Bonds or other obligations, having a maturity date not more than 397 days from the date

Note 15: Post Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)

General Information about the Commission’s OPEB Plan

Plan Description and Benefits Provided

The Commission provides post-retirement benefits, as follows, to Commission employees who meet the following criteria:

1. Retire after 25 or more years of service with a New Jersey State Retirement System and with

at least 15 years of service with the Commission;

2. Retire after attainment of age 62 with at least 15 or more years of service with the Commission and/or County of Morris, for employees hired on or before November 1, 2012 (or later for certain collective bargaining agreements); or

3. Retire under a disability retirement from the New Jersey State Retirement System.

Benefits are provided to the retiree and, if the retiree was hired prior to a certain date, the spouse as well depending on the employee’s union affiliation or whether the employee is not affiliated with a union. If the spouse is covered, benefits continue to the surviving spouse after the death of the retiree. Certain employees hired after certain dates are not eligible for postretirement healthcare benefits. This depends on the union the employee is affiliated with or whether the employee is not affiliated with a union. Medical benefits are provided thru fully-insured, minimum premium plans with CIGNA. There are two plans offered to retirees: a PPO plan and an HMO plan. Prescription benefits are provided through a fully-insured, minimum premium plan with CIGNA. Effective January 1, 2018, prescription drug coverage changed to self-funded. There is a 3-tier co-pay of $1/$20/$35 for retail and $2/$40/$70 for mail-order. Medicare benefits coordinate with Medicare primary and the Commission plan secondary for retirees eligible for Medicare. Medicare eligible retirees and dependents are required to enroll in Medicare Part B. The Commission reimburses Medicare eligible retirees and spouses for the full cost of the Medicare Part B premium.

MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AND STATE AWARDS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards (the “Schedules) includes the federal and state grant activity of the Morris County Park Commission under programs of the federal and state governments for the year ended December 31, 2019. The information in these schedules is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”) and New Jersey's OMB Circular 15-08, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid. Because the schedules present only a selected portion of the operation of the Commission, they are not intended to and do not present the financial position, changes in fund balance or cash flows of the Commission.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGINFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Expenditures reported on the accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements

Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

Independent Auditors' Report

The Honorable Members of the Park Commission Morris County Park Commission Morristown, New Jersey

We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the "Division"), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements - regulatory basis - of the various funds of the Morris County Park Commission, in the County of Morris (the "Commission") as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated May 29, 2020. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division, to demonstrate compliance with the Division’s regulatory basis of accounting, and the budget laws of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. That qualified report also indicated that we did not audit the general fixed assets account group.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Commission’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances 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 Commission’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Commission’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of the 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. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Commission’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.

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 result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission’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 Commission’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Contracts and Agreements Required to be Advertised for N.J.S.A. 40A:11-4

N.J.S.A. 40A:11-3 states:

a. " When the cost or price of any contract awarded by the contracting agent in the aggregate does not exceedin a contract year the total sum of $17,500, the contract may be awarded by a purchasing agent when soauthorized by ordinance or resolution, as appropriate to the contracting unit, of the governing body of thecontracting unit without public advertising for bids, except that the governing body of any contracting unitmay adopt an ordinance or resolution to set a lower threshold for the receipt of public bids or the solicitationof competitive quotations. If the purchasing agent is qualified pursuant to Subsection b. of Section 9 of P.L.1971, C.198 (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-9), the governing body of the contracting unit may establish that the bidthreshold may be up to $25,000. Such authorization may be granted for each contract or by a general delegationof the power to negotiate and award such contracts pursuant to this section.

b. Any contract made pursuant to this section may be awarded for a period of 24 consecutive months, exceptthat contracts for professional services pursuant to subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section5 of P.L. 1971, C.198 (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-5) may be awarded for a period not exceeding 12 consecutive months.The Division of Local Government Services shall adopt and promulgate rules and regulations concerning themethods of accounting for all contracts that do not coincide with the contracting unit’s fiscal year.

c. The Governor, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, shall, no later than March 1 of everyfifth year beginning in the fifth year after the year in which P.L.1999, C.440 takes effect, adjust the thresholdamount and the higher threshold amount which the governing body is permitted to establish, as set forth insubsection a. of this section, or the threshold amount resulting from any adjustment under this subsection, indirect proportion to the rise or fall of the index rate as that term is defined in section 2 of P.L. 1971, C.198(N.J.S.A. 40A:11-2), and shall round the adjustment to the nearest $1,000. The Governor shall, no later thanJune 1 of every fifth year, notify each governing body of the adjustment. The adjustment shall becomeeffective on July 1 of the year in which it is made.”

N.J.S.A. 40A: 11-4 states: “Every contract awarded by the contracting agent for the provision or performance of any goods or services, the cost of which in the aggregate exceeds the bid threshold, shall be awarded only by resolution of the governing body of the contracting unit to the lowest responsible bidder after public advertising for bids and bidding therefore, except as is provided otherwise in this act or specifically by any other law. The governing body of a contracting unit may, by resolution approved by a majority of the governing body and subject to subsections b. and c. of this section, disqualify a bidder who would otherwise be determined to be the lowest responsible bidder, if the governing body finds that it has had prior negative experience with the bidder.”

Effective July 1, 2015 and thereafter the bid threshold in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:11-3 is $17,500, and with a qualified purchasing agent the threshold may have been up to $40,000.

The governing body of the Commission has the responsibility of determining whether the expenditures in any category will exceed the bid threshold within the fiscal year. Where question arises as to whether any contract or agreement might result in violation of the statute, the Commission Attorney’s opinion should be sought before a commitment is made.

MORRIS COUNTY PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(Continued)

Contracts and Agreements Required to be Advertised for N.J.S.A. 40A:11-4 (Cont’d)

The minutes indicated that bids were requested by public advertising per N.J.S.A. 40A:11-4. The minutes also indicated that resolutions were adopted and advertised authorizing the awarding of contracts or agreements for "Professional Services" and "Extraordinary Unspecifiable Services" per N.J.S.A. 40A:11-5.

Inasmuch as the system of records did not provide for an accumulation of payments for categories for the performance of any work or the furnishing or hiring of any materials or supplies, the results of such an accumulation could not reasonably be ascertained. Disbursements were reviewed, however, to determine whether any clear-cut violations existed. None were noted.

New Jersey Administrative Code Accounting Requirements

The Division of Local Government Services has established three (3) accounting requirements which are prescribed by the New Jersey Administrative Code. They are as follows:

1. Maintenance of an encumbrance accounting system.

2. Fixed asset accounting and reporting system.

3. General ledger accounting and record system.

The Commission maintains encumbrance, fixed assets and general ledger accounting systems.
