INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Timothy Keller
New Mexico State Auditor
The United States Office of Management and Budget and
The Town Council
Town of Taos
Taos, New Mexico
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, the
aggregate remaining fund information, and the budgetary comparison for the general fund of the Town of Taos (the "Town"), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements which collectively comprise the Town's basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. We also have audited the financial statements of each of the Town's nonmajor governmental
funds, and the budgetary comparisons for the proprietary funds, the major capital projects fund, and all nonmajor funds presented as
supplementary information, as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, in the accompanying combining and individual
fund financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, 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 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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 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 Town'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 Town'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.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Taos,
as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary
comparison for the general fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

In addition, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the respective financial position
of each nonmajor governmental fund as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the respective
budgetary comparisons for the proprietary funds, major capital projects fund, and all nonmajor funds for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis on pages
12 through 19 and Schedules I and II and the Notes to the Required Supplementary Information on pages 72 through 78 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 opinions on the Town's basic financial statements, the combining and individual fund
financial statements, and the budgetary comparisons. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by Office of
Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of State, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, introductory section, and
Supporting Schedules III through VII required by Section 2.2.2 NMAC are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements.
The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Supporting Schedules III through VI required by Section 2.2.2 NMAC are the
responsibility of management and were 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards and Supporting Schedules III through VI required by Section 2.2.2 NMAC are fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section and Schedule VII 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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 27, 2015, on our consideration of the
Town'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 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 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
Town's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

We are pleased to present the Town of Taos's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Management's discussion
and analysis of these statements is also provided to help the reader fully understand the Town's financial condition.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The Town of Taos' total assets exceeded its total liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $71,801,966 (netposition). Of this
amount, ($1,342,589) (unrestricted net position), is now a negative due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 68).
The restatement of $8,778,694 for the Pension Plan Liability is the underlying factor of this negative unrestricted net position.
This GASB Statement is reflected on the financial statements for the first time in the history of the Town and other
governmental entities throughout the entire state. Even though ending the year with this negative amount, the Town has at this
time the available cash balances to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
• The Town's total net position increased by $1,683,680 during the fiscal year. The majority of this overall increase was due to
increases in charges for services, capital grants and taxes.
• As of June 30, 2015, the Town's governmental activities reported a combined ending net position balance of $43,838,814. Of
this total, $3,242,321 is designated for debt service and capital projects.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $3,047,564, amounting to 31
percent or of total general fund expenditures.
• The Town of Taos' total debt decreased by $835,906 during the year due to scheduled principal payments being paid. The
Town did acquire new debt during the year for the purchase of a new fire pumper. Compensated absences have decreased from
the prior year by $23,541. The Town paid $1,361,781 towards the principal of various of its government loans, bonds,
compensated absences and contracts payable
Overview of the Financial Statements
The Town's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial statements; 2) fund financial
statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic
financial statements themselves.
Government -wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the Town of Taos' finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of netposition presents information on all of the Town of Taos' assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two
reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator regarding whether or not the
financial position of the Town of Taos is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year.
All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of
related cashflows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused personal leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town of Taos that are principally supported in a majority
by taxes and a minimal amount from other miscellaneous receipts (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to
recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of
the Town of Taos include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, and health and welfare. The
business -type activities of the Town include joint Water and Sewer Services, Solid Waste Services, and the Taos Regional Landfill.
The government -wide financial statements can be found in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town of Taos, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town of Taos can be divided into
three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in
the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on daily inflows and outflows ofspendable resources, as well as on balances ofspendable resources available at the
12
end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance
the Town's programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the
information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide
financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Town of Taos maintains twenty-six individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt service
and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund and Capital Projects, which are considered major funds. Data from the
other twenty-four governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these
nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The Town of Taos adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund, capital equipment replacement, special revenue fund, fire,
police, GRT, and all other funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate
compliance with this budget. In addition, the individual financial statements of the nonmajor governmental fund types include
budgetary comparison data.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found in Exhibits B-1 through C-1 of this report.
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the Town charges customers — either outside
customers or internal units or departments of the Town. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the
government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The Town maintains one type of proprietary fund.
Enterprise funds. Are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial
statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for the joint water and sewer services, solid waste and regional landfill
operations for the Town. The enterprise funds are considered to be major funds of the Town and can be found in Exhibits D-1 through
D-3 of this report.
Fiduciaryfunds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary
funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the
Town of Taos' own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The Town of Taos fiduciary funds account for the collection of street cut permits and deposits for recreation events. The basic fiduciary
fund financial statement can be found in Exhibit E-1 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 37-70 of
this report.
Combining statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented
immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on
pages 84-95 of this report.

GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Analysis of Net Position
As noted earlier, the net of assets over liabilities, otherwise known as net position, may serve over time as a useful indicator of a
government's financial position. In the case of the Town of Taos, assets exceeded liabilities by $71,801,966 at the close of the current
fiscal year.
The significant portion of the Town of Taos' net position represents the Town's investment of $64,110,273 in capital assets (e.g., land
improvements, buildings, infrastructure and machinery & equipment), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets.
The Town of Taos uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens, so these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the Town of Taos' investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed
to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

A portion of the Town of Taos' governmental restricted net position of $4,944,808 (11 percent) represents resources that are subject to
restrictions related to covenants arising from the Town's long-term debt issuance and capital projects. The remaining balance of
unrestricted netposition, ($3,479,204) previously stated above, has fallen to a negative due to the implementation of GASB Statement
68. In the previous year, this amount was $3,477,536 of which may still may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
14
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town of Taos is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position for both
governmental and business -type activities.
Analysis of Changes in Net Position

Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the Town of Taos' net position by $1,843,170, primarily as the result of
increase in capital grants and contributions and gross receipts taxes. Along with expenditures being less $658,713 than last fiscal year.
Tax revenues account for $13,189,144 or 72 percent of governmental revenues. Tax revenues are made up of property, gross receipts,
gasoline and motor vehicle and other taxes.
The General fund received the majority of the Town's program revenue, accounting for $4,222,086 or 23 percent of total governmental
revenues. The primary recipients of these revenues are general government, public works and public safety.
The Town's direct charges to users of governmental services made up $1,386,617 or 8 percent of total governmental revenues. These
charges are for fees, fines and forfeitures, and licenses and permits.
Business -type activities. Business -type activities decreased the Town's net position by $159,490.
The Town's direct charges to users of business -type services made up $5,903,490 or 91 percent of total business -type revenues. These
charges are for water and sewer services, and water and sewer connection fees, landfill tipping fees and solid waste services. These
direct charges for service increased by $779,276 from the previous year, primarily as the result of a rate increase in the landfill tipping
fees and the 4th year of a rate increase in the water and sewer rates. Even though revenues were up, expenditures exceeded revenues in
the joint water and sewer program which contributed to the decrease in the net position. The Town has started looking at the joint water
and sewer program in ways to reduce expenditures, such as refunding of debt service and analysis of direct cost of employees expensed
to the program.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN'S FUNDS
The Town of Taos uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town of Taos' governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town of Taos' financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal
year. Types of Governmental funds reported by the Town include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and
Capital Projects Funds.
Revenues for governmental functions overall totaled approximately $18,745,851 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, which
represents an increase of $519,027 from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. This is largely due to the increase in gross receipts, federal
and state capital grants and state operating grants. Expenditures for governmental functions, totaling $18,238,641 increased by
approximately $261,797 from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. This is largely due to the increase in expenditures public safety and
capital outlay. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, revenues for governmental functions exceeded expenditures by approximately
$507,210.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Town of Taos. It is from here that the Town pays for the public safety and other
basic services it provides to its citizens. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was
$3,047,564.
Overall, the general fund's performance resulted in revenues over expenditures in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 of $1,328,720 an
increase of $247,632 over the comparable figure from the prior year of $1,081,088. The Town's overall financial position improved
with continued music venue for tourists and locals alike bringing in additional gross receipts tax.
Proprietary Funds. The Town's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial
statements, but in more detail.
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net position for enterprise funds were $2,136,615. The total decrease in net position for the
enterprise funds was ($159,490). Factors concerning the finances of this fund have been addressed previously in the discussion of the

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Town budgets reflect the same pattern as seen in the revenue and expenditures of the Town. The State ofNew Mexico budget process
is defined under state law and regulation. To enhance the process of developing a budget at the Town level, Taos utilizes goals and
objectives defined by the Town Council, community input meetings, long term plans and input from various staff groups to develop the
Town budget. Town defines its priorities through this process.
GASB Statement No. 34 does not require a statement presenting the overall result of the budget for each year; however, all major
budgetary funds are required to be reported as a separate statement.
The following table examines the summary budget performance of the general fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Detailed
budget performance is examined through the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance for the General fund
found at Exhibit C-1. The Town's final budget differs from the original budget due to amendments that were made during the fiscal
year and the increase of expenditures. Actual general fund expenditures were $643,973 less than budgeted. This was primarily due to
general governmental favorable variance of $491,801. The difference between actual expenditures and budgeted expenditures is due to
various departments not spending there projected costs along with personnel vacancy savings over the course of the fiscal year.

Governmental Funds
Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position
June 30, 2015
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position
are different because:
Fund balances - total governmental funds
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources
and, therefore, are not reported in the funds
Delinquent property taxes and lodger's tax settlement not collected within sixty
days after year end are not considered "available" revenues and are considered
to be unavailable revenue in the fund financial statements, but are considered
revenue in the Statement of Activities
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in the fund financial statements
unless it is due and payable:
Accrued interest
Deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions are applicable to
future periods and therefore, are not reported in funds:
Deferred outflows of resources related to change in assumptions
Deferred outflows of resources related to employer contributions subsequent to
the measurement date
Deferred inflows of resources related to change in assumptions
Deferred inflows of resources related to Net difference between projected and actual
investment earnings on pension plan investments
Some liabilities, including bonds payable, loans and net pension payable are not due
and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds:
Accrued compensated absences
Bond premiums
Bonds payable
Loans payable
Net pension liability

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes
in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2015
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 942,204
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in
the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense:
Capital expenditures recorded in capital outlay 4,621,862
Depreciation expense (3,843,741)
Loss of disposition of capital assets (402,348)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenue in the funds:
Increase in unavailable revenue related to property taxes receivable 33,609
Increase in lodger's tax settlement revenue not received within the period of availability 44,433
Governmental funds report Town pension contributions as expenditures. However
in the Statement of Activities, the cost of pension benefits earned net of employee
contributions is reported as pension expense:
Town pension contributions 830,601
Pension expense (600,769)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, loans, leases) provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term
debt consumes the current financial resources of govermental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities:
Decrease in accrued interest
464
Increase in accrued compensated absences
(22,356)
Amortization of bond premiums
3,864
Proceeds from the issuance of debt
(434,994)
Principal payments on bonds payable

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Town of Taos (Town) was incorporated in 1934. The Town operates under a Council -Mayor form of
government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety (police and fire),
highways and streets, public utilities (water, wastewater, and solid waste), health and social services, culture -
recreation, education, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The Town of Taos is a body politic and corporate under the name and form of government selected by its
qualified electors. The Town may:
Sue or be sued;
Enter into contracts and leases;
Acquire and hold property, both real and personal;
Have common seal, which may be altered at pleasure;
Exercise such other privileges that are incident to corporations of like character or degree that are not
inconsistent with the laws of New Mexico;
Protect generally the property of its municipality and its inhabitants;
Preserve peace and order within the municipality; and
Establish rates for services provided by municipal utilities and revenue -producing projects, including
amounts which the governing body determines to be reasonable in the operation of similar facilities.
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Town is presented to assist in the understanding of
Town's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of Town's management
who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The financial statements of the Town have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied
to government units.
During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Town adopted GASB Statements No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions — an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 ("GASB 68"), and No. 71, Pension
Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date — an Amendment of GASB Statement
No. 68 ("GASB 71 "). These two Statements are required to be implemented at the same time. GASB 68
addresses accounting and financial reporting for pensions that are provided to the employees of state and local
governments through pension plans that are administered through trusts that have the following characteristics:
Contributions from employers and nonemployer contributing entities to the pension plan and earnings
on those contributions are irrevocable.
Pension plan assets are dedicated to providing pensions to plan members in accordance with the
benefit terms.
Pension plan assets are legally protected from the creditors of employers, nonemployer contributing
entities, and the pension plan administrator. If the plan is a defined benefit plan, plan assets are also
legally protected from creditors of the plan members.
GASB 68 establishes standards for measuring and recognizing liabilities, deferred outflows of resources,
deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures related to pensions. For defined benefit pensions, this
Statement identifies the methods and assumptions that should be used to project benefit payments, discount
projected benefit payments to their actuarial present value, and attribute that present value to periods of
employee service. As a result of the implementation of GASB 68, the government recognized a net pension
liability ("NPL") measured as of a date no later than the end of its prior fiscal year. If the government employer
makes a contribution to the pension plan subsequent to the measurement date but prior to the end of the current
fiscal year, GASB 68 requires the government to recognize that contribution as a deferred outflow ofresources.
In addition, GASB 68 requires the recognition of deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources for changes in the NPL that arise from other types of events, but does not require the government to
recognize beginning deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources if the amounts are not
practical to estimate.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
A. Financial Reporting Entity (continued)
At transition to Statement 68, Statement 71 requires the employer or nonemployer contributing entity to
recognize a beginning deferred outflow of resources for its pension contributions made subsequent to the
measurement date of the beginning net pension liability but before the start of the government's fiscal year, thus
avoiding possible understatement of an employer or nonemployer contributing entity's beginning net position
and expense in the initial period of implementation.
This pronouncement has materially impacted the financial statements and additional disclosures are included in
the notes to the financial statements to highlight the effects.
The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government, (b) organizations for which the primary
government is financially accountable and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete.
In evaluating how to define the Town, for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all
potential component units. The decision to include any potential component units in the financial reporting
entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 14, as amended by GASB Statement
No. 39 and GASB Statement No. 61. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in
substance part of the government's operations. Each discretely presented component unit is reported in a
separate column in the government -wide financial statements to emphasize that it is legally separate from the
government.
The basic -but not the only -criterion for including a potential component unit within the reporting entity is the
governing body's ability to exercise oversight responsibility. The most significant manifestation of this ability
is financial interdependency. Other manifestations of the ability to exercise oversight responsibility include,
but are not limited to, the selection of governing authority, the designation of management, the ability to
significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters. A second criterion used in evaluating
potential component units is the scope of public service. Application of this criterion involves considering
whether the activity benefits the government and/or its citizens.
A second criterion used in evaluating potential component units is the scope of public service. Application of
this criterion involves considering whether the activity benefits the government and/or its citizens.
A third criterion used to evaluate potential component units for inclusion or exclusion from the reporting entity
is the existence of special financing relationships, regardless of whether the government is able to exercise
oversight responsibilities. Finally, the nature and significance of a potential component unit to the primary
government could warrant its inclusion within the reporting entity.
Based upon the application of these criteria, the Town has no component units, and is not a component unit of
another governmental agency.

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. For the
most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported
separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for
support.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities were prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses,
assets and liabilities resulting from exchange -like transactions are recognized when the exchange
takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from non -exchange
transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Non -exchange Transactions.
In the government -wide Statement of Net Position, both the governmental and business -type activities
columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column, (b) and are reported on a full accrual,
economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term
debt and obligations. The Town's net position is reported in three parts — net investment in capital
assets; restricted net position; and unrestricted net position.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segments 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.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns
in the fund financial statements.
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, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes, net of estimated refunds, are
recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. 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
measurementfocus and the modified accrual basis ofaccounting. 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 government 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, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period, subject to the availability criterion. Sales and use taxes are classified as derived tax revenues
and are recognized as revenue when the underlying exchange takes place and the revenues are
measurable and available. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met, subject to the availability criterion. Only the
portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be
susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund. This fund includes state shared gross receipts tax income fund and state shared gas tax
income funds.
The Airport Construction Capital Projects Funds was created to receive proceeds from
federal and state grants for the purpose of financing improvements to the Taos Municipal
Airport. Authority is Town Council resolution.
The Town reports its proprietary funds as major funds. Proprietary funds include:
The Water and Sewer Fund is used to account for the activities of the Town's water and
sewer operations.
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for the provision of solid waste services to the residents of
the Town and some residents of Taos Town. All activities necessary to provide such
services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to administration,
operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection.
The Taos Regional Landfill Fund is used to account for the activities of the Taos Regional
Landfill including debt repayments, closure and post -closure care estimates as well as
operations and administration.
Additionally, the Town reports the following fund type:
The Fiduciary Fund is purely custodial (assets equal liabilities) and does not involve the
measurement of results of operations. This fund accounts for assets held by the Town in a
trustee for the judicial system bonds and recreational events.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments -in -lieu of taxes and other charges
between the government's enterprise funds and various other functions of the government.
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in the
Statement of Activities. The General Fund, Lodger's Tax Fund, Water and Sewer Fund and the Taos
Regional Landfill fund are combined with funds that have identical activities for financial statement
reporting.

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
Program revenues included in the Statement of Activities are derived directly from the program itself
or from parties outside the Town's taxpayers or citizenry, as a whole; program revenues reduce the
cost of the function to be financed from the Town's general revenues. Program revenues are
categorized as (a) charges for services, which include revenues collected for fees and use of Town
facilities, etc., (b) program -specific operating grants, which includes revenues received from state and
federal sources such as small cities assistance to be used as specified within each program grant
agreement, and (c) program -specific capital grants and contributions, which include revenues from
state sources to be used for capital projects. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
The Town reports all direct expenses by function in the Statement of Activities. Direct expenses are
those that are clearly identifiable with a function. The Town does not currently employ indirect cost
allocation systems. Depreciation expense is specifically identified by function and is included in the
direct expense of each function. Interest on general long-term debt is considered an indirect expense
and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non -operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund's principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenue of the Town's enterprise fund is charges for
services for the Town's utilities. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of services,
administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting
this definition are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Town's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position
or Equity
Deposits and Investments: The Town'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.
State statutes authorize the Town to invest in Certificates of Deposit, obligations of the U.S.
Government, and the State Treasurer's Investment Pool.
Investments for the Town are reported at fair value. The State Treasurer's Pool operates in
accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as
the fair value of the pool shares.
Receivables and Payables: Interfund activity is reported as loans, services provided, reimbursements
or transfers. Loans are reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to
elimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are
treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost,
charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other
interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or between proprietary
funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government -wide financial statements.
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance
reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for
appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources in the event they are not received
within 60 days of year end.

D. Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferredlnflows of Resources and Net Position
or Equity (continued)
All receivables are reported at their gross value and, where appropriate, are reduced by the estimated
portion that is expected to be uncollectible. The Town estimates the allowance for uncollectible
accounts based off the days delinquent. The Town has estimated all accounts that are greater than 120
days to be uncollectible. In the government -wide and governmental fund financial statements,
delinquent property taxes are recorded when levied. Property taxes are considered to be 100%
collectible.
Property taxes are levied on November 1 based on the assessed value of property as listed on the
previous January 1 and are due in two payments by November 1 Oth and April 1 Oth. Property taxes
uncollected after November I Oth and April 1 Oth are considered delinquent and the Town may assess
penalties and interest. The taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property thirty (30) days thereafter,
at which time they become delinquent. Property taxes are collected by Taos Town and remitted
monthly to the Town.
Inventory: The Town's method of accounting for inventory is the consumption method. Under the
consumption approach, governments report inventories they purchase as an asset and defer recognition
of the expenditures until the period in which the inventories actually are consumed. The cost of
inventory is recorded as expenditures at the time individual inventory items are consumed.
Restricted Assets: Restricted assets consist of those funds expendable for operating purposes but
restricted by donors or other outside agencies as to the specific purpose for which they may be used
and restricted for future debt service payments, capital projects, meter deposits payable, and the
Town's landfill liability.
Capital Assets: Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets
(e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or
business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets are
defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not
rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost
or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Pursuant to the implementation of GASB
Statement No. 34, the historical costs of infrastructure assets (retroactive to 1979) are included as part
of the governmental capital assets reported in the government wide statements. Information
Technology Equipment including software is being capitalized and included in machinery and
equipment in accordance with NMAC 2.20.1.9 C (5). Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated
fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets lives are not capitalized. Library books and periodicals are estimated to have a useful
life of less than one year or are under the capitalization threshold and are expensed when purchased.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part
of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. There was no interest expense capitalized by the
Town during the current fiscal. No interest was included as part of the cost of capital assets under
construction.

Buildings and improvements
10-50
Machinery and equipment
5-25
Infrastructure
10-50
Deferred Outflows of Resources: In addition to assets, the balance sheet reports a separate section
for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of
resources, represents a use of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expenditure) until that time. The Town has two types of items
that qualify for reporting in this category in both the governmental and business -type activities.
Accordingly, the items — Change in assumptions and employer contributions subsequent to
measurement date has been reported as a deferred outflow of resources in the amount of $37,196 and
$919,296, respectively. This amount is reported in the Statement of Net Position. These amounts will
directly reduce the net pension liability in the next fiscal year.
Deferred Inflows of Resources: In addition to liabilities, the balance sheet reports 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. Revenue must be susceptible to accrual
(measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period) to be recognized. If
assets are recognized in connection with a transaction, but those assets are not yet available to finance
expenditures of the current fiscal period, then the assets must be offset by a corresponding liability for
deferred inflows of resources. The Town has two types of deferred inflows which arise under the
modified accrual basis of accounting that qualify for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the
items, unavailable revenue - property taxes and delinquent lodgers tax is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources
in the period that the amount becomes available. The Town has recorded $169,556 related to property
taxes considered "unavailable" and $170,583 related to delinquent lodger's tax considered
"unavailable". In addition, the Town has two types of items present on the Statement of Net Position
for both the governmental and business -type activities, which arise due to the implementation of
GASB 68 and the related net pension liability. Accordingly, the items, net difference between
projected and actual investment earnings on pension plan investments of $2,412,060 and change in
assumptions of $132,310, are reported on the Statement of Net Position. These amounts are reported
as a deferred inflow and amortized into pension expense over the average remaining service life of
employees.
Pensions: 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 Public Employees Retirement Association (P.E.R.A) and additions
to/deductions from P.E.R.A's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they
are reported by P.E.R.A, on the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of
accounting. 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.

Compensated Absences: The Town's employees earn personal leave at a rate of 22 to 27 days per
year based on years of service. Employees can carry over unused personal leave each year with a cap
of 500 hours.
Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with expendable available
financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a fund liability of the governmental or
proprietary fund that will pay it. In prior years, substantially all of the related expenditures have been
liquidated by the general fund. Amounts of vested or accumulated vacation leave that are not
expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the
government -wide statement of net position.
Long-term Obligations: In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in
the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities
in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement
of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds
using the effective interest method or the straight-line method if the difference is minimal. Bonds
payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. For fund financial reporting,
bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized in the period the bonds are
issued. Bond proceeds are reported as another financing source net of the applicable premium or
discount. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt
service expenditures.
Fund Balance Classification Policies and Procedures: For committed fund balance, the Town's
highest level of decision -making authority is the Town Council. The formal action that is required to
be taken to establish a fund balance commitment is the Town Council.
For assigned fund balance, the Town Council or an official or body to which the Town Council
delegates the authority is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose. The authorization policy
is in governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the amount that
is not restricted or committed. This indicates that resources in other governmental funds are, at a
minimum, intended to be used for the purpose of that fund.
For the classification of fund balances, the Town considers restricted or unrestricted amounts to have
been spent when an expenditure is incurred for the purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted
fund balance is available. Also for the classification of fund balances, the Town considers committed,
assigned, or unassigned amounts to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for
which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
Nonspendable Fund Balance: At June 30, 2015, the Town did not have any fund balances in
nonspendable form.
Restricted and Committed Fund Balance: At June 30, 2015, the Town has presented restricted
fund balance on the governmental funds balance sheet in the amount of $666,697 for various general
government operations as restricted by enabling legislation, $61,083 for public safety, $602,364 for
culture and recreation, $687,220 for fire protection, $84,919 for health and welfare, $357,353 for debt
service expenditures, and $2,702,942 for capital projects. The Town has committed fund balance of
the general fund for subsequent year's expenditures in the amount of $439,443. The details of these
fund balance items are located on the governmental funds balance sheet as detailed on page 26.

Minimum Fund Balance Policy: The Town's policy for maintaining a minimum amount of fund
balance for operations is to minimize any sudden and unplanned discontinuity to programs and
operations and for unforeseen contingencies. At a minimum, the budget shall ensure that the Town
holds cash reserves of 1/12th the General Fund expenditures. The amount at June 30, 2015 for the
Town is $818,251.
Net Position: Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets: Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation
and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
b. Restricted net position: Consist of net position with constraints placed on the use either by
(1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other
governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Descriptions for the related restrictions for net position restricted for "special revenue, debt
service and capital projects" are described on pages 40 and 80-83.
C. Unrestricted net position: Net position that does not meet the definition of "restricted" or
"Net Investment in Capital Assets."
Interfund Transactions: Quasi -external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or
expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund from expenditures/expenses initially
made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the
reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
All other interfund transactions, except quasi -external transactions and reimbursements, are reported
as transfers. Nonrecurring or non -routine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity
transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as operating transfers.
Estimates: 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 estimates. Significant estimates in the Town's financial statements include the
allowance for uncollectible accounts in the joint utility fund, depreciation on capital assets and the
estimate for landfill closure and postclosure costs.

Government obligations. The Town is not aware of any invested funds that did not meet the State investment
requirements as of June 30, 2015.
Deposits of funds may be made in interest or non -interest bearing checking accounts in one or more banks or
savings and loan associations within the geographical boundaries of the Town. Deposits may be made to the
extent that they are insured by an agency of the United States or collateralized as required by statute. The
financial institution must provide pledged collateral for 50% of the deposit amount in excess of the deposit
insurance.
The rate of interest in non -demand interest -bearing accounts shall be set by the State Board of Finance, but in
no case shall the rate of interest be less than one hundred percent of the asked price on United States treasury
bills of the same maturity on the day of deposit.
Excess funds may be temporarily invested in securities which are issued by the State or by the United States
government, or by their departments or agencies, and which are either direct obligations of the State or the
United States or are backed by the full faith and credit of those governments.
By operation of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a noninterest-bearing transaction
account no longer will receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of the Town's accounts at an insured depository
institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the
standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000.

Interest Rate Risk— Investments. The Town does not have a formal policy limiting investment maturities that
would help manage its exposure to fair value losses from increasing interest rates.

issuer is 5% or more of the investment portfolio of the Town. The investments in the New Mexico LGIP and
U.S Treasury Money Market Mutual Funds represent 59% and 42%, respectively, of the investment portfolio.
Since the Town only purchases investments with the highest credit rating, the additional concentration is not
viewed to be an additional risk by the Town. The Town's policy related to concentration of credit risk is to
comply with the state statute as put forth in the Public Money Act (Section 6-10-1 to 6-10-63, NMSA 1978).

NOTE 8. Risk Management
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, thefts of, damage to, and destruction of property,
errors and omissions and natural disasters. The Town participates in the New Mexico Self -Insurers' Fund risk
pool.
The Town has not filed any claims for which the settlement amount exceeded the insurance coverage during the
past three years. However, should a claim be filed against the Town which exceeds the insurance coverage, the
Town would be responsible for a loss in excess of the coverage amounts. As claims are filed, the New Mexico
Self -Insurers' Fund assesses and estimates the potential for loss and handles all aspects of the claim. Insurance
coverage has not changed significantly from prior years and coverage's are expected to be continued.

NOTE 10. Pension Plan - Public Employees Retirement Association
General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan description. The Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERA Fund) is a cost -sharing, multiple employer
defined benefit pension plan. This fund has six divisions of members, including State General, State
Police/Adult Correction Officer, Municipal General, Municipal Police/Detention Officers, Municipal fire, and
State Legislative Divisions, and offers 24 different types of coverage within the PERA plan. All assets
accumulated may be used to pay benefits, including refunds of member contributions, to any of the plan
members or beneficiaries, as defined by the terms of this plan. Certain coverage plans are only applicable to a
specific division. Eligibility for membership in the PERA Fund is set forth in the Public Employees Retirement
Act (Chapter 10, Article 11, NMSA 1978). Except as provided for in the Volunteer Firefighters Retirement Act
(10-11A-1 to 10-11A-7, NMSA 1978), the Judicial Retirement Act (10-1213-1 to 10-1213-19, NMSA 1978), the
Magistrate Retirement Act (10-12C-1 to 10-12C-18, NMSA 1978), and the Educational Retirement Act
(Chapter 22, Article 11, NMSA 1978), and the provisions of Sections 29-4-1 through 29-4-11, NMSA 1978
governing the State Police Pension Fund, each employee and elected official of every affiliated public employer
is required to be a member in the PERA Fund.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report and a comprehensive annual financial report that can be
obtained at http:Hsaonm.org using the Audit Report Search function for agency 366.
Benefits provided. For a description of the benefits provided and recent changes to the benefits see Note 1 in
the PERA audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 available at
hLtp://www.pera.state.nm.us/pdf/AuditFinancialStatements/366 Public Employees_Retirement _Association _2
014.pdf.
Contributions. The contribution requirements of defined benefit plan members and the Town of Taos are
established in state statute under Chapter 10, Article 11, NMSA 1978. The contribution requirements may be
amended by acts of the legislature. For the employer and employee contribution rates in effect for FY 14 for the
various PERA coverage options, for both Tier I and Tier II, see the tables available in the note disclosures on
pages 29 through 31 of the PERA FY14 annual audit report at
http://osanm.org/media/audits/366_Public_Employees_ Retirement_ Association_2014.pdf The PERA
coverage options that apply to Town of Taos are: Municipal General Division, Municipal Police Division and
Municipal Fire Division. Statutorily required contributions to the pension plan from the Town of Taos were
$919,296 and there were no employer paid member benefits that were "picked up" by the employer for the year
ended June 30, 2015.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions: The PERA pension liability amounts, net pension liability amounts, and
sensitivity information were based on an annual actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 2013. The PERA
pension liability amounts for each division were rolled forward from the valuation date to the Plan year ending
June 30, 2014, using generally accepted actuarial principles. Therefore, the employer's portion was established
as of the measurement date June 30, 2014.
The assets of the PERA fund are held in one trust, but there are six distinct membership groups (municipal
general members, municipal police members, municipal fire members, state general members, state police
members and legislative members) for whom separate contribution rates are determined each year pursuant to
chapter 10, Article 11 NMSA 1978. Therefore, the calculations of the net pension liability, pension expense and
deferred inflows and outflows were preformed separately for each of the membership groups: municipal general
members; municipal police members; municipal fire members; state general members; state police members
and legislative members. Town of Taos's proportion of the net pension liability for each membership group that
the employer participates in is based on the employer contributing entity's percentage of that membership
group's total employer contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Only employer contributions for
the pay period end dates that fell within the period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 were included in the total
contributions for a specific employer. Regular and any adjustment contributions that applied to FY 2014 are

included in the total contribution amounts. In the event that an employer is behind in reporting to PERA its
required contributions, an estimate (receivable) was used to project the unremitted employer contributions. This
allowed for fair and consistent measurement of the contributions with the total population. This methodology
was used to maintain consistent measurement each year in determining the percentages to be allocated among
all the participating employers.
For PERA Fund Municipal General Division, at June 30, 2015, Town of Taos reported a liability of
$4,271,868 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. At June 30, 2014, Town of Taos's proportion

Actuarial assumptions. As described above, the PERA Fund member group pension liabilities and net pension
liabilities are based on actuarial valuations performed as of June 30, 2013 for each of the membership groups.
Then each PERA Fund member group pension liability was rolled forward from the valuation date to the Plan
year ending June 30, 2014 using generally accepted actuarial principles. There were no significant events or
changes in benefit provisions that required an adjustment to the roll -forward liabilities as of June 30, 2014.
These actuarial methods and assumptions were adopted by the Board for use in the June 30, 2014 actuarial
valuation.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a statistical analysis 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. The target asset allocation and most recent best
estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.75 percent. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that future contributions will be made in accordance
with statutory rates. On this basis, the pension plan's fiduciary net position together with the expected future
contributions are sufficient to provide all projected future benefit payments of current plan members as
determined in accordance with GASBS 67. Therefore, the 7.75% assumed long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.
Sensitivity of the Employer'sproportionate share of the netpension liability to changes in the discount rate.
The following tables show the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. In
particular, the tables present Town of Taos's net pension liability in each PERA Fund Division that Town of
Taos participates in, under the current single rate assumption, as if it were calculated using a discount rate one
percentage point lower (6.75%) or one percentage point higher (8.75%) than the single discount rate.

NOTE 11. Post -Employment Benefits — State Retiree Health Care Plan
Plan Description. Town of Taos contributes to the New Mexico Retiree Health Care Fund, a cost -sharing
multiple -employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan administered by the New Mexico Retiree
Health Care Authority (RHCA). The RHCA provides health care insurance and prescription drug benefits to
retired employees of participating New Mexico government agencies, their spouses, dependents, and surviving
spouses and dependents. The RHCA Board was established by the Retiree Health Care Act (Chapter 10,
Article 7C, NMSA 1978). The Board is responsible for establishing and amending benefit provisions of the
healthcare plan and is also authorized to designate optional and/or voluntary benefits like dental, vision,
supplemental life insurance, and long-term care policies.
Eligible retirees are: 1) retirees who make contributions to the fund for at least five years prior to retirement and
whose eligible employer during that period of time made contributions as a participant in the RHCA plan on the
person's behalf unless that person retires before the employer's RHCA effective date, in which event the time
period required for employee and employer contributions shall become the period of time between the
employer's effective date and the date of retirement; 2) retirees defined by the Act who retired prior to July 1,
1990; 3) former legislators who served at least two years; and 4) former governing authority members who
served at least four years.
The RHCA issues a publicly available stand-alone financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for the postemployment healthcare plan. That report and further
information can be obtained by writing to the Retiree Health Care Authority at 4308 Carlisle NE, Suite 104,
Albuquerque, NM 87107.
Funding Policy. The Retiree Health Care Act (Section 10-7C-13 NMSA 1978) authorizes the RHCA Board to
establish the monthly premium contributions that retirees are required to pay for healthcare benefits. Each
participating retiree pays a monthly premium according to a service based subsidy rate schedule for the medical
plus basic life plan plus an additional participation fee of five dollars if the eligible participant retired prior to
the employer's RHCA effective date or is a former legislator or former governing authority member. Former
legislators and governing authority members are required to pay 100% of the insurance premium to cover their
claims and the administrative expenses of the plan. The monthly premium rate schedule can be obtained from
the RHCA or viewed on their website at www.nmncca.state.nm.us.
The employer, employee and retiree contributions are required to be remitted to the RHCA on a monthly basis.
The statutory requirements for the employer and employee contributions can be changed by the New Mexico
State Legislature. Employers that choose to become participating employers after January 1, 1998, are required
to make contributions to the RHCA fund in the amount determined to be appropriate by the board.
The Retiree Health Care Act (Section 10-7C-15 NMSA 1978) is the statutory authority that establishes the
required contributions of participating employers and their employees. For employees that were members of an
enhanced retirement plan (state police and adult correctional officer member coverage plan 1; municipal police
member coverage plans 3, 4 or 5; municipal fire member coverage plan 3, 4 or 5; municipal detention officer
member coverage plan 1; and members pursuant to the Judicial Retirement Act) during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2015, the statute required each participating employer to contribute 2.5% of each participating
employee's annual salary; and each participating employee was required to contribute 1.25% of their salary.
For employees that were not members of an enhanced retirement plan during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2015, the statute required each participating employer to contribute 2.0% of each participating employee's
annual salary; each participating employee was required to contribute 1.0% of their salary. In addition, pursuant
to Section 10-7C-15(G) NMSA 1978, at the first session of the Legislature following July 1, 2013, the
legislature shall review and adjust the distributions pursuant to Section 7-1-6.1 NMSA 1978 and the employer
and employee contributions to the authority in order to ensure the actuarial soundness of the benefits provided
under the Retiree Health Care Act.
The Town's contributions to the RHCA for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $114,919,
$118,969, and $123,302, respectively, which equal the required contributions for each year.

The Town is party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course ofbusiness. The Town is insured
through the New Mexico Self Insurers Fund. The maximum exposure of the Town is not estimable as of June

NOTE 13. Federal and State Grants
In the normal course of operations, the Town receives grant funds from various federal and state agencies.
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies,
the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability
for reimbursement which may arise as a result of these audits is not believed to be material.
NOTE 14. Landfill Closure and Post Closure Care Costs
State and Federal laws and regulations require that the Town place a final cover on its landfill site and perform
certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill site for a minimum of thirty years after closure. In
addition to operating expenses related to current activities of the landfill site, an expense provision and related
liability are being recognized based on the future closure and post closure care costs that will be incurred near
or after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The recognition of these landfill closure and post -closure
care costs is based on the amount of the landfill used during the year. The estimated liability for landfill closure
and post closure care costs is $1,677,021 as of June 30, 2015, which is based on 40 percent usage (filled) of the
landfill. The estimate has remained unchanged from the prior year as no significant construction occurred or
changes to the site conditions. The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure and post closure care is
based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities, and services required to close, monitor, and
maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2015. However, the actual cost of closure and post closure
care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations.
In addition, the Town is required by State and Federal laws and regulations to make annual contributions to
finance closure and postclosure care. The Town is in compliance with these requirements, and at June 30, 2015
cash of $875,165 and investments of $74,500 is part of the pooled funds held by the Town and is presented as
restricted cash on the statement of net position.

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
Timothy Keller
New Mexico State Auditor
The United States Office of Management and Budget and
The Town Council
Town of Taos
Taos, New Mexico
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to the financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, the aggregate
remaining fund information, and the budgetary comparison of the general fund of the Town of Taos (the Town) as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town's basic financial
statements, and the combining and individual funds and related budgetary comparisons of the Town, presented as supplementary
information, and have issued our report thereon dated November 27, 2015.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Town'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
Town's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town'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 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.
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 were not identified. 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. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs that we consider to be significant deficiencies as items FS 2014-001 and FS 2015-002.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town'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 instances of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items
FS 2015-001 and FS 2015-003.
The Town's Responses to Findings
The Town's responses to the finding identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. The Town's responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
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 entity's internal control over compliance. This report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town's internal control
and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM; REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Timothy Keller
New Mexico State Auditor
The United States Office of Management and Budget and
The Town Council
Town of Taos
Taos, New Mexico
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Town of Taos' (the Town) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB
Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Town's major federal programs
for the year ended June 30, 2015. The Town's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its federal
programs.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Town's major federal programs based on our audit of the
types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments,
and Non -Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
Town's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our
audit does not provide a legal determination of the Town's compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Town complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could
have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Town is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types
of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Town's
internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal
program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB
Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program
that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those
charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not
suitable for any other purpose

Section III — Financial Statement Findings and Questioned Costs
ITS 2014-001 Consumable Inventory Controls (Significant Deficienc
Condition: During walk-through procedures performed due to risk assessment procedures it was noted that the Town
has purchased bulk inventory to have on -hand in the Public Works department in the amount of $45,720 and the
Town has not implemented any controls over inventory. We also noted there is no procedure in place in regards to
consuming inventory on hand or tracking inventory in any system.
Currently the Town does take some steps currently to monitor consumable inventory, but must achieve all five
components of the COSO integrated framework for internal controls to address this finding.
Criteria: Sections 6-5-1 through 6-5-6 NMSA, 1978 require internal accounting controls designed to prevent
accounting errors and violations of state and federal laws and rules related to financial matters.
Effect: Without proper inventory controls, the Town cannot verify what inventory they have on hand or is available
for use. In addition, inventory may be misappropriated without management knowledge.
Cause: The Town in prior years has not purchased large amounts of inventory to maintain on -hand. Due to the
timing of the inventory being purchased at year end the Town did not have time to fully implement controls for
inventory and inventory procedures.
Auditors' Recommendations: We recommend the Town develop and implement policies and procedures designed to
prevent or detect possible misstatements in its inventory as well as train individuals in the responsible departments
the proper maintenance and handling of inventory.
Agency's Response: Management agrees with the auditor's recommendations. We will continue working with the
Department's in finalizing the consumable inventory control; including the development of policies and procedures.
To date we have met with all department managers to explain the finding for consumable inventory controls, issued a
standardized excel workbook for the Department's to use in tracking of consumable inventory and met with the
Finance Audit Committee on their recommendations to address this finding. As it relates to the $45,720 the Fixed
Assets Clerk/Finance Assistant went out in March 2015 and identified with the supervisor of Public Utilities all of the
items on the original list and verified what had been used based on the work orders that each division records. They
do report to their supervisor on a weekly basis on their work orders including materials. Currently the Town does take
some steps currently to monitor consumable inventory, but must achieve all five components of the COSO integrated
framework for internal controls to address this finding. Responsible positions: Public Works Director, Facilities
Director, Youth & Family Center Director, Fire Department Chief , Police Department Chief, Human Resources
Director, Library Director, Information Technology Director, and Special EventsNisitor Center. Resolution of this
finding is expected to be by June 30, 2016.

June 30, 2015
FS 2015-001— Insufficient Controls over Program Income (Finding that does not rise to level of significant
deficiency)
Condition: During our review of the Cash Count Log Sheet for Program Income, ACG noted that in all five cases,
controls were not implemented. The Cash count log lacked the supervisor review. It was also noted in all five sample
items tested that the cash count logs were not dated. The employees bringing the cash from the buses to the utility
building for count did not date and sign the log. There was no record of when the cash was actually counted, or by
whom. The cash collection and counting technology was not capable of differentiating between legal tender and
foreign objects, leading to inaccurate counts and a reliance on bank personnel for accurate program income recording.
Criteria: The Town of Taos shall establish and maintain a Program Income management program and related
internal controls to ensure that income generated is being accurately recorded and deposited in the Bank and in
compliance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 and applicable federal and state laws and
regulations.
Effect: Due to the lack of supervisor review of the Cash Count Log Sheet, this leads to a lack of accountability and as
a result, the Town of Taos lacks is recording unverified income. In addition, income recorded was not accurate until
adjusted by the bank.
Cause: The insufficient controls over program income is due to failure of management to effectively implement the
control system in place as to ensuring that the cash count is being reviewed, signed and dated.
Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Taos ensures that internal controls requiring review of
cash count log and recount of Cash deposited are implemented and operating effectively.
Agency's Response: Management agrees with the auditors' recommendations. We currently have a control system in
place to ensure that the cash count is being reviewed, signed and dated. In this instance we had a shortage of staff
from the department depositing the cash. The fill-in staff was not familiar with the controls in place for cash
collection. In the future the Town needs to take the appropriate measures to make sure all managers, supervisors and
staff are trained in the event of staff absence or lack thereof and will be implemented by March 1, 2016 and will be
implemented by the Finance Director. This program income was from the Transportation Department which is no
longer operated by the Town. Responsible position: Public Works Office Manager.

FS 2015-002 Segregation of Duties and Imuroner Access of IT (SiLinificant Deficienc
Condition: During our walk-through procedures performed over Information Technology, it was noted that the Town
did not maintain proper segregation of duties regarding control of logical access. The Town has one employee
approving and modifying logical access levels or rights to In -Code financial system. In addition we noted, the Town
did not have proper server room controls to safeguard assets or fire suppression in place.
Criteria: The COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), the generally accepted
framework for internal controls, specifies the elements of a strong internal control system which includes IT controls.
These elements include the specific control activities themselves which protect the IT system and help prevent, or
detect and correct errors in the system. General IT control activities are essential to ensure efficient, reliable,
protected performance of an IT system.
Effect: Without effective internal controls the Town is at risk of providing improper access without a second level
review and also at risk of loss of data and IT equipment without proper server room controls.
Cause: The Town has not updated and reviewed its IT policies.
Auditors' Recommendations: We recommend that the Town implement a process to govern access level changes
where access is approved by the Finance Director and implemented by the IT Department. It is recommended that
the Finance Director not have the ability to set rights for In -Code. Only the IT Department should have the ability to
set rights for In -Code. The IT Department should never modify access rights without written instruction and
approval from Finance. In addition we recommend that the Town give all employees who are authorized server room
access their own unique code for entry. It is recommended that the Town install a fire suppression system or place
fire extinguishers in the server room
Agency's Response: Management agrees with the auditors' recommendations. IT and Finance Director will work on
implementing a process to govern access level changes by January 2016. At this time we are in the process of
procuring a fire suppression system for the server room which is to be implemented by the Facilities Director by
September 30, 2016.

ITS 2015-003 Small Purchases (Finding that does not rise to level of significant deficienc
Condition: During our testwork of "small purchases" that do not meet the threshold for a formal bid or proposal, we
noted that the Town is not following their internal purchasing policy for maintenance of respondents. During review
of small purchases it was noted in one instance no written responses from other vendors were present nor memo to
Procurement Office describing steps taken to obtain responses if none were received.
Criteria: According to Town written "Town of Taos Purchasing Policy", Section IV- Procurement Methods, it was
noted that professional services up to $50,000 and tangible goods valued at less than $20,000 "The Town shall obtain
reasonable number of responses for the procurement of professional services based on the same scope of work and
taking into consideration such factors as the respondents' qualifications, experience, references, and price. If fewer
than three qualified responses are obtainable using the procedure set forth above, the procurement may be made and a
memo shall be written to the Procurement Officer describing the steps taken to obtain the responses. Such memo
shall be retained as part of the procurement file."
Effect: Improper maintenance of written responses received or memo to Procurement Officer describing steps taken
could lead individuals or those who inspect procurement files to conclude the Town is not following procurement
procedures.
Cause: The current service contract expired and as a result the Town procured services under an "temporary"
condition, but it was in effect for the entire fiscal year 2015.
Auditors' Recommendations: We recommend the Town follow all requirements put forth by the Town in regards to
procurement and receive training on State requirements of procurement.
Agency's Response: Management agrees with the auditors' recommendations. During this audit period the Finance
Department was short staffed and was not able to procure this service in a timely manner. Since then we have done
an advertised request for proposal for said services. At this time we also have a certified procurement officer on staff
as required by the State of New Mexico and have taken the necessary steps to hire on an additional procurement
officer to assist with the procurement demands at the Town. Resolution is expected to be as of June 30, 2016.
Responsible positions: Finance Department and Department Directors.
