February 8, 2017 To the Board of Directors of Washington County – Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. Johnson City, Tennessee This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of Washington County‐Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. (the Center). Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the Center’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Center’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Center’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The Center’s financial statements have been audited by Blackburn, Childers and Steagall, PLC, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Center for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Center’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Center’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditor.

INDEPENDENTAUDITORS’REPORT To the Board of Directors of Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. Johnson City, Tennessee

ReportontheFinancialStatements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business‐type activities of the Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. (the Center), as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Center’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’sResponsibilityfortheFinancialStatements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; 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 an opinion on these 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 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 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 auditors’ 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 entity’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 entity’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 opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business‐type activities of the Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc., as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. OtherMatters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 7 through 11 and the required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents on pages 30 through 31 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Center’s basic financial statements. The introductory section and the schedule of functional expenses are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of functional expenses is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of functional expenses is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

During the year, the Center’s expenses were $41,046 more than the $815,207 generated in revenues.

FundFinancialStatementsThe fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the Center. Proprietary funds – Services for which the Center charges customers a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds provide both long‐term and short‐term financial information. FINANCIALANALYSISOFTHECENTERASAWHOLE Net position. The Center’s combined net position decreased $41,046 between fiscal years 2015 and 2016 with an ending balance of $2,159,171. (See Table A‐1.) In comparison, last year net position increased $927,721. The change between years is primarily due to the decrease in capital contributions that were received in fiscal year 2015 for the new facility.

Net position of the Center decreased approximately 2 percent to $2,159,171. However, some components of net position either are restricted as to the purposes they can be used for or are invested in capital assets (buildings, equipment, office equipment, and so on). Consequently, the unrestricted portion of net position showed a $206,877 increase at the end of this year and net position – net investment in capital assets decreased $115,342.

Changes in net position. The Center’s total revenues decreased by about 46 percent to $815,207. (See Table A‐2.)

Approximately 24 percent comes from capital contributions, public donations and other sources. The total cost of all programs increased approximately $314,602, or about 58 percent, partly because of the increase in depreciation, interest expense and salaries related to the new facility and the increase in the number of employees.

WASHINGTONCOUNTY‐JOHNSONCITYANIMALCONTROLCENTER,INC.NOTESTOTHEFINANCIALSTATEMENTS

JUNE30,2016 NOTE1‐SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGPOLICIESNatureofOperationsWashington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. (the Center) was organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee in April 1985. The Center’s Board of Directors serves as its governing body. The Center enforces the city and state ordinances relating to animal control and animal welfare. The Center also operates an animal shelter providing adoption programs and spay / neutering programs. The Center receives funding from the City of Johnson City and Washington County, Tennessee and must comply with the requirements of the funding source entities. The Center is included in the footnotes of those governmental reporting entities as a joint venture. BasisofAccounting The Center is reported as an enterprise fund, a proprietary fund type. The accompanying basic financial statements are reported using the economic measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard‐setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. OperatingRevenuesandExpenses Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and delivering goods in connection with the Center’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Center are charges to customers for sales and services. All revenues not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues. Operating expenses of the Center include salaries and associated taxes and benefits as well as costs of feeding and caring for the animals and maintaining the Center’s building, grounds and equipment. RestrictedandUnrestrictedResources When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available or use, it is the Center’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. UseofEstimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimate

18


JUNE30,2016 NOTE1‐SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGPOLICIES(CONTINUED) Cash For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Center considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Center maintains separate cash accounts for monies restricted by donors or designated by the board for future building projects. AccountsReceivableAccounts receivable are reported at the net realizable amounts from third‐party payers for services rendered. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on prior collection history of receivables, known collection risks, including the age of the receivables. PledgesReceivable Pledges Receivable are reported at the net realizable amounts from donors based primarily upon historical data. The allowance is affected by management’s evaluation of the quality, character, current trends and inherent risks associated with the receivables. DonorRestrictedAssets At June 30, 2016, $11,083 of the Center’s cash was restricted by donors for the Building Fund. There were $24,229 private donations to the Building Fund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. CapitalAssetsandDepreciation Property and equipment are stated at cost, or in the case of contributed assets, at their fair value at the time of the gift. Depreciation is computed using the straight‐line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The Center’s capitalization policy is to capitalize assets costing $1,500 or more with a life greater than one year. Buildings are depreciated over forty years and building improvements over ten years. Equipment is depreciated over five or seven years. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation expense at June 30, 2016 amounted to $99,223. DeferredOutflows/InflowsofResources In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.

19


JUNE30,2016 NOTE1‐SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGPOLICIES(CONTINUED)DeferredOutflows/InflowsofResources(Continued)The Center has two items reported as deferred outflows. (1) The Pension Contributions After Measurement Date are equivalent to the Center’s pension contributions made to the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) during fiscal year 2016, and will be recognized as a reduction to net pension liability in the following measurement period, and (2) The Pension Changes in Experience is a result of the June 30, 2015 actuarial study for the Center’s agent multiple‐employer pension plan through TCRS, and is being amortized over the average remaining service period. In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Center has two items reported as deferred inflows. (1) The Pension Changes in Experience is a result of the June 30, 2015 actuarial study for the Center’s agent multiple‐employer pension plan through TCRS, and is being amortized over the average remaining service period and (2) The Net Pension Changes in Investment Earnings is a result of the June 30, 2015 actuarial study for the Center’s agent multiple‐employer pension plan through TCRS, and is being amortized over a five‐year period. Pensions For the purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Center’s participation in the Public Employee Retirement Plan of the TCRS, and additions to/deductions from the Center’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the TCRS for the Public Employee Retirement Plan. For this purpose, benefits (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms of the Public Employee Retirement Plan of TCRS. Investments are reported at fair value. NOTE2‐DEPOSITSANDINVESTMENTS The Center maintains deposit accounts at one commercial bank and at a credit union in Johnson City, Tennessee. The deposit accounts at the commercial bank are insured through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The deposit accounts at the credit union are insured through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) up to $250,000. The Center had no uninsured deposits as of June 30, 2016. All deposits with financial institutions must be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the market value of uninsured deposits. If the financial institution does not participate in the Bank Collateral Pool, the financial institution must provide a monthly statement of securities pledged to collateralize the balance. The Center does not have a policy for interest rate risk or for credit risk.

JUNE30,2016 NOTE5‐COMPENSATEDABSENCES Employees of the Center are entitled to receive paid sick leave. Starting with the first day of employment, all regular full‐time employees accrue one day of sick leave each month. Part‐time employees accumulate sick leave prorated based on the number of hours worked each week. Temporary employees are not eligible for sick leave. An employee is allowed to accumulate a maximum of ninety days sick leave. Employees have the option of receiving payment, at the employee’s regular rate, for those days in excess of sixty days toward the maximum ninety days allowable. Upon termination of an employee, no payment for sick leave will be made. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, no employees exercised the cash option; therefore, no accrued sick leave is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2016. Full‐time employees, with less than fifteen years of service, are entitled to ten days of vacation per year. Full‐time employees with fifteen years of service or more of continuous service are granted fifteen days of vacation per year. Part‐time employees are granted vacation time based on the number of hours worked. Vacation time is encouraged to be used by the end of each calendar year. Full‐time employees may carry over into the next year a maximum of 40 hours. Part‐time employees may carry over a maximum of 10 hours. Upon termination, an employee with at least twelve consecutive months of service may be entitled to payment for accrued vacation time, provided the requested two‐week notice of resignation is given. Accrued vacation of $6,831 is included is accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2016. NOTE6‐PENSIONPLAN GeneralInformationaboutthePensionPlan PlanDescription Employees of the Center are provided a defined benefit pension plan through the Public Employee Retirement Plan, an agent multiple‐employer pension plan administered by the TCRS. The TCRS was created by state statute under Tennessee Code Annotated Title 8, Chapters 34‐37. The TCRS Board of Trustees is responsible for the proper operation and administration of the TCRS. The Tennessee Treasury Department, an agency in the legislative branch of state government, administers the plans of the TCRS. The TCRS issues a publically available financial report that can be obtained at www.treasury.tn.gov/tcrs.

22


JUNE30,2016 NOTE6‐PENSIONPLAN(CONTINUED) GeneralInformationaboutthePensionPlan(Continued)BenefitsProvided Tennessee Code Annotated Title 8, Chapters 34‐37 establishes the benefit terms and can be amended only by the Tennessee General Assembly. The chief legislative body may adopt the benefit terms permitted by statute. Members are eligible to retire with an unreduced benefit at age 60 with 5 years of service credit or after 30 years of service credit regardless of age. Benefits are determined by a formula using the member’s highest five consecutive year average compensation and the member’s years of service credit. Reduced benefits for early retirement are available at age 55 and vested. Members vest with five years of service credit. Service related disability benefits are provided regardless of length of service. Five years of service is required for non‐service related disability eligibility. The service related and non‐service related disability benefits are determined in the same manner as a service retirement benefit but are reduced 10 percent and include projected service credits. A variety of death benefits are available under various eligibility criteria. Member and beneficiary annuitants are entitled to automatic cost‐of‐living adjustments (COLAs) after retirement. A COLA is granted each July for annuitants retired prior to the 2nd of July of the previous year. The COLA is based on the change in the consumer price index (CPI) during the prior calendar year, capped at 3 percent, and applied to the current benefit. No COLA is granted if the change in the CPI is less than one‐half percent. A one percent COLA is granted if the CPI change is between one‐half percent and one percent. A member who leaves employment may withdraw their employee contributions, plus any accumulated interest. EmployeesCoveredbyBenefitTerms At the measurement date of June 30, 2015, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Contributions Contributions for employees are established in the statutes governing the TCRS and may only be changed by the Tennessee General Assembly. The Center has adopted a noncontributory plan and makes employer contributions at the rate set by the Board of Trustees as determined by an actuarial valuation. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) for the Center was $20,867 based on a rate of 11.95 percent of covered payroll. By law, employer contributions are required to be paid. The TCRS may intercept the Center’s state shared taxes if required employer contributions are not remitted. The employer’s ADC and member contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by members during the year, the cost of administration, as well as an amortized portion of any unfunded liability.

JUNE30,2016 NOTE6‐PENSIONPLAN(CONTINUED) NetPensionLiability(Asset) The Center’s net pension liability (asset) was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total pension liability used to calculate net pension liability (asset) was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. ActuarialAssumptions The total pension liability (asset) as of June 30, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 3.0 percent

Salary increases Graded salary ranges from 8.97 to 3.71 percent based on age, including inflation, averaging 4.25 percent

Investment rate of return 7.5 percent, net of pension plan investment expenses,

including inflation

Cost‐of‐Living Adjustment 2.5 percent Mortality rates were based on actual experience from the June 30, 2012 actuarial experience study adjusted for some of the expected future improvement in life expectancy. The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2015 actuarial valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study performed for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012. The demographic assumptions were adjusted to more closely reflect actual and expected future experience. The long‐term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was established by the TCRS Board of Trustees in conjunction with the June 30, 2012 actuarial experience study by considering the following three techniques: (1) the 25‐year historical return of the TCRS at June 30, 2012, (2) the historical market returns of asset classes from 1926 to 2012 using the TCRS investment policy asset allocation, and (3) capital market projections that were utilized as 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. Four sources of capital market projections were blended and utilized in the third technique. The blended capital market projection established 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 inflation of 3 percent. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

24


JUNE30,2016 NOTE6‐PENSIONPLAN(CONTINUED)NetPensionLiability(Asset)(Continued)ActuarialAssumptions(Continued)

The long‐term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was established by the TCRS Board of Trustees as 7.50 percent based on a blending of the three factors described above. DiscountRate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current rate and that contributions from the Center will be made at the actuarially determined contribution rate pursuant to an actuarial valuation in accordance with the funding policy of the TCRS Board of Trustees and as required to be paid by state statute. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive members. Therefore, the long‐term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

STATEMENTSPERFORMEDINACCORDANCEWITHGOVERNMENTAUDITINGSTANDARDS To the Board of Directors of Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. Johnson City, Tennessee We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the business‐type activities of the Washington County ‐ Johnson City Animal Control Center, Inc. (the Center) as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Center’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 8, 2017. InternalControloverFinancialReporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Center’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 opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Center’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Center’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedules of findings and responses, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness and significant deficiencies. 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 entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses to be a material weakness: 2015‐001. 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. We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses to be significant deficiencies: 2016‐001 and 2016‐002.

ComplianceandOtherMatters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Center’s financial statements are free from 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. WashingtonCounty‐JohnsonCityAnimalControlCenter,Inc.’sResponsetoFindingsThe Center’s response to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The Center’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. PurposeofthisReport The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Center’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 Center’s internal control and compliance.
