Independent Auditor’s Report December 21, 2022 Board of Directors Teton Village Special Fire District Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities of the Teton Village Special Fire District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Teton Village Special Fire District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities of the Teton Village Special Fire, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Teton Village Special Fire District, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Teton Village Special Fire District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

PO BOX 5, Jackson, WY 83001 | thompsonpalmer.com | O: 307.733.5160 F: 307.739.1415 | 275 E Broadway

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we: 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.



Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.



Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Teton Village Special Fire District’s internal control.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.



Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.



Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Teton Village Special Fire District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Change in Accounting Principle As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2022, the District adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing 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. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America require that the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances – budget and actual on page 22 – 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 State 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 Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 21, 2022, on our consideration of the Teton Village Special Fire District’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 District’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 Teton Village Special Fire District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Amounts reported in the statement of activities are different because: Governmental funds reported capital outlay as expenditures.

However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation and amortization expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation and amortization expense.

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 I. Summary of significant accounting policies A. Reporting entity The Teton Village Special Fire District is governed by an elected three member board. The District provides fire protection services for the Teton Village area of Teton County, Wyoming.

The criteria used to determine the reporting entity are consistent with Section 2100 “Defining the Reporting Entity” of the Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards published by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

The accounting policies of the Teton Village Special Fire District conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments.

B. Government‐wide and fund financial statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the District. The fund financial statements provide information about the District’s funds.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree, to which the direct expenses, of a given function or segment, are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.

For this purpose, the District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.

10

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 I. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation Interest income associated with the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual and so has been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Governmental grants are recognized as revenue as soon as all the eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the District.

Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise general revenues include all taxes.

D. Assets, liabilities, and net position or fund equity 1. Deposits and investments The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The District also holds cash in an escrow account used to service the bonds payable.

This cash is considered restricted for these financial statements.

2. Receivables All receivables are considered collectible. The District uses the direct write-off method and therefore, only recognizes bad debt expense when an account is considered uncollectible.

3. Inventories and prepaid items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.

4. Capital assets Capital assets, which include property, vehicles, equipment, and furnishings, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial individual cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

11

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 I. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) D. Assets, liabilities, and net position or fund equity 4. Capital assets Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Property, vehicles and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Buildings Vehicles Equipment Furnishings Computer equipment

Years 30 30 5-10 10 5

5. Long‐term obligations In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, if material, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line method.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.

Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

6. Fund balances and net position In the fund financial statements, governmental funds may report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. At the end of the current year $35,912 in cash was reserved to make bond payments.

Net assets in government wide and proprietary fund financial statements are classified as invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted and unrestricted. Restricted net assets represent constraints on resources that are either externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws and regulations of other governments.

12

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 I. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) D. Assets, liabilities, and net position or fund equity 7. Accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements require management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from estimates.

8. Pension assets, liabilities & deferred outflows of resources For 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 Wyoming Retirement System (“WRS”) and additions to/deductions from WRS’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by WRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources which represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.

For the year ended June 30, 2022 the deferred outflows and inflows of resources are related to pensions.

II. Change in accounting principle During 2022, the District implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an Amendment of GASB No. 27 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date, which requires governmental entities to record their share of any unfunded liability associated with participation in a defined benefit plan. As of June 30, 2022, net pension liability is $81,831, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions are $140,192 and $70,634, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the effect of the change is a decrease in net position of $12,273.

III. Stewardship, compliance and accountability A. Budgets and budgetary accounting The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: The District Board prepares a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. A public hearing is conducted on the third Thursday in July to obtain public comments. The budget is adopted on the third Thursday of July.

The District Board may, after publication of notice, by resolution amend the budget revenues or expenditures. All appropriations lapse at the close of the budget year.

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 V. Other information A. Pension plans The District participates in the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS), a statewide cost-sharing multiple-employer volunteer firefighter, EMT and search and rescue retirement system administered by the State of Wyoming Retirement System Board. All volunteer firefighters of the District are eligible to participate. The WRS provides retirement, disability and death benefits according to predetermined formulas. Benefits are established by Title 9, Chapter 3 of the Wyoming Statutes.

Volunteer firefighters are required to contribute $18.75 per month. Legislation enacted in 1979 allows the employer to pay any or all of the employees’ contribution in addition to the matching contribution. The District paid $2,644 of the required firefighter’s contribution for the year ended June 30, 2022. Contribution rates are established by Title 9, Chapter 3 of the Wyoming Statutes. The District’s contributions to the WRS for the year ended June 30, 2022, were $2,644 and employee contributions were $450 which equals the required contribution for the year.

GASB Statement No. 68 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions has been adopted by the District. This statement relates to accounting and financial reporting issues only, it does not address the District's approach to funding its pension obligations, which is set by state statutes.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2022, the District reported a liability of $81,831 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2021 and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2021 and rolled-forward using generally accepted actuarial procedures. The District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the District’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating governmental entities, actuarially determined. The schedule below shows the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability at June 30, 2022, the proportionate portion at the measurement date of December 31, 2021, and the change in the proportion from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2020.

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 V. Other information A. Pension plans Actuarial Assumptions Inflation Investment rate of return

2.25 percent 6.80 percent

Mortality rates were based on the PUB-2010 General Healthy Mortality table, amount weighted, fully generational, projected with the MP-2020 ultimate scale.

The assumed rate of investment return was adopted by the plan’s trustees after considering input from the plan’s investment consultant(s) and actuary(s). Additional information about the assumed rate of investment return is included in the WRS actuarial valuation report as of January 1, 2021. In addition, a five year experience study was completed as of December 31, 2020 and this study provides a detailed analysis regarding recommendations on the long term rates for inflation and the real rate of return. The assumed rate of investment return of 6.80% (real return net of inflation of 4.55%) falls within a reasonable range of the long-term expected rate of return.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a buildingblock method in which expected future real rates of return (expected arithmetic returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These real rates of return 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.

For each major asset class that is included in the pension plan’s target allocation for the fiscal year 2021, these best estimates are summarized in the following table: Long-Term Target Allocation Asset Class Cash Fixed income Equity Marketable alternatives Private markets Totals

Expected Real Rate of Return

2.00% 21.00% 48.50% 19.00% 9.50%

-0.50% 1.63% 7.54% 4.63% 5.99%

100.00%

5.44%

The figures in the above table were supplied by Meketa Investment Group, the investment consulting firm to the Wyoming Retirement System.

WRS’s success in achieving the 6.80% assumed investment return objective is evaluated on an ongoing basis over reasonably long periods of time (5 to 7 years).

TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 V. Other information A. Pension plans Discount rate Projected benefit payments are required to be discounted to their actuarial present values using a single discount rate that reflects 1) a long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits using a 100 year analysis) and 2) tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20 year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating (which is published by the Federal Reserve) as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use with the long-term expected rate of return are not met). The expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.80%, the municipal bond rate is 1.84%.

Sensitivity of the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate The following presents the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 6.80 percent, as well as what the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage-point lower (5.80 percent) or one percentage-point higher (7.80 percent) than the current rate.

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 Auditor’s Report Board of Directors Teton Village Special Fire District 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 governmental activities and governmental fund of Teton Village Special Fire District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents and have issued our report thereon dated December 21, 2022.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Teton Village Special Fire District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Teton Village Special Fire District'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 entity'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.

26

Teton Village Special Fire District 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 December 21, 2022 Page 2 Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Teton Village Special Fire District's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statements. 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 results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
