and
Hector H. Balderas
New Mexico State Auditor
Santa Fe, New Mexico
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 of the General Fund of the Town of Taos, New Mexico as of and for the year ended June 30,
2007, which collectively comprise the Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
We have also audited the financial statements of each of the Town's nonmajor governmental funds and the
budgetary comparisons presented as supplementary information in the accompanying combining and
individual fund financial statements, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007 as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Taos, New Mexico management.
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 of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
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, New Mexico as of June 30, 2007, and
the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the respective
budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity 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 respects, the respective financial position of each
nonmajor governmental fund, of the Town of Taos, New Mexico as of June 30, 2007 and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows where applicable and the respective budgetary comparisons for
each nonmajor governmental fund and enterprise funds, for the year ended in conformity with accounting u
principles generally accepted in the United States.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our reports dated
November 27, 2007, on our consideration of the Town of Taos, New Mexico 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 these reports 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. These reports are an integral part of an
audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.
The Town of Taos has not presented the Management's Discussion and Analysis that accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States has determined is necessary to supplement, although not a
required part of, the basic financial statements.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the basic financial statements
that collectively comprise the Town of Taos, New Mexico, basic financial statements and for expressing
opinions on the combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparisons. The
accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U.S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audits of State and Local Governments and Non -Profit Organization and the
Schedule of Changes in Assets and Liabilities Agency Funds are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The Schedule of Expenditures and Federal
Awards and the Schedule of Changes in Assets and Liabilities Agency Funds have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

STATE OF NEW MEXICO
TOWN OF TAOS
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, 2007
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different
because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as
depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation expense exceeded capital
outlay.
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, teases) provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, whitle the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the
current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect
on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums,
discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and
amoritzed in the statement of activities. This amount is to net effect of these differences in. the
treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Recognition of accounts receivable deferred revenues is reflected on the full accrual basis
within the statement of activities. The Town has determined that the receivables are not
available, therefore, the revenues have been deferred within the governmental funds.
Donations of capital assets increase net assets in the statement of activities, but do not appear
in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources.
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
Change in net assets of governmental activities

the representation of the Town of Taos's management who are 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. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The more significant of the government's accounting policies are described below.
In evaluating how to define the government, for financial reporting purposes, management has
considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in
the reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
The basic (but not the only) criteria 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, or whether the activity is conducted within the
geographic boundaries of the govermnent and is generally available to 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. • Based upon the application of these criteria, the Town
has no component units.

B. Government -Wide And Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfrduciary 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 revenue,
are reported separately from business -like activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenue. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenue includes 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 revenue are reported instead as general revenue.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. 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 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 are recognized as revenue
in the year for which they are levied. Sales, franchise, lodgers', cigarette, gas and other similar
taxes are recognized as revenue when the underlying exchange takes place. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider
have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenue to be available if 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.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, sales taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are
all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenue of the current
fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when
cash is received by the Town. Taos County, the collecting agent for the Town's property tax, is
unable to report the amount of delinquent tax currently due to the Town.

The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the Town's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The Capital Projects Fund was created to accumulate revenues and other financing
sources for the purpose of financing general-purpose capital projects.
The Town reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water and Server Fund is used to account for the activities of the Town's water
and sewer operations.
The 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.
The Town reports the following non -major proprietary fund, solid waste fund:
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for the provision of solid waste services to the
residents of the Town and some residents of the County. 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.
Additionally, the Town reports the following fund types:
The Fiduciary Fund accounts for resources held for others. Agency funds are custodial
in nature (assets equal liabilities), do not present results of operations and are accounted
for using the accrual basis of accounting. These funds are used to account for assets that
the Town holds for others in an agency capacity.
Private -sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the govemment-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to
the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private -
sector guidance for their business -type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same
limitation. The Town has elected not to follow subsequent private -sector guidance.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's water and
sewer function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.

Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as
general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nozoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition
are reported as nonoperating revenue and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Town's policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed. K i
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Investments
Cash and investments include amounts in demand deposits, certificates of deposit and investments
with a maturity date within a year of the date acquired by the Town. Cash in excess of current
requirements is invested in the New Mexico State Treasurer's Local Government Pooled
Investment Fund.
Receivables
Accounts receivable of the enterprise fund represents the amounts due from customer utility
accounts. The governmental funds report taxes and other fees collected at the Town, County and [
State level as receivables. All trade and tax receivable are shown net of an allowance for
uncollectible.
Deferred Revenues
Within the governmental funds, revenues must be available in order to be recognized. Revenues
such as real estate taxes that are not available are recorded as deferred revenues and reflected as a
liability with the balance sheet }t
Restricted Assets
Certain resources of the enterprise funds are set aside for revenue bond and note repayment and
replacement reserves and are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because the use of
these monies is limited by applicable bond covenants and loan documents. In addition, customers
meter deposits are classified as restricted assets.

D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (continued)
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, improvements, and water and sewer
system, are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the
government -wide financial statements. The Town defines capital assets as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $5,000 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. Donated
capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of library
books at conversion were determined to be fully depreciated. Current year purchases of library
books do not warrant capitalization. The Town has retroactively reported all major general
infrastructure assets.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the asset constructed. During the year the Town did not
capitalize any interest costs.
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.
Property, improvements, equipment, and water and sewer system are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Assets
Years
Data Processing Equipment&Software
3-5
Machinery and equipment
5-25
Buildings and improvements

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 carryover unused personal leave each year with a cap of 500 hours. On an
appointed day each year employees may sell back -unused personal leave based on the following
schedule.
Once the employee achieves the 500 hour cap, they can only sell back a total of 136 hours
annually; the other 80 hours accrued annually must be used by December 31 or forfeited. At
retirement or separation all leave may be sold back at 100% of hourly salary. All personal leave is
accrued when incurred in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements.

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 assets.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use
for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are
subject to change.
Net Assets Y
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital
assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by
the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements
of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there
are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the Town
or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other
governments.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
amounts could differ from those estimates.

( 2. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the
Government -wide Statement of Net Assets
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance — total
governmental funds and net assets — governmental activities as reported in the government -wide
statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains, "long-term liabilities, including
loans payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the
funds." The details of this $ 3,774,469 difference are as follows:
Bonds, loans and contracts payable -
current $ 696,495
Bonds, loans and contracts payable -
long-term 2,313,505
Accrued interest payable 29,454
Compensated absences 735,015
Net adjustment to reduce fund balance -

Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenue
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government wide Statement of Activities
The governmental fund statement of revenue, expenditures and changes in fund balances includes a
reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total governmental fund and changes in net
assets of governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of activities. One
element of that reconciliation explains, "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." The details of this $1,318,630 difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 4,701,643
Depreciation expense (3,383,013)
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in
fund balances total governmental funds
to arrive at changes in net assets of
government activities $ 1,318,630
Another element of that reconciliation explains that, the issuance of long-term debt provides current
financial resources to governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial resources of the governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect
on net assets. The details of this $356,000 difference are as follows:
Proceeds from issuance of debt $ 954,000
Principal payments of long-term debt (598,000)
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in
fund balances total governmental funds to
arrive at changes in net assets of
government activities $ 356,000

Another element of that reconciliation states, "The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions
involving capital assets is to decrease net assets." The details of this $1,038,942 difference are as
follows:

governmental funds." The details of this $49,992 difference are as follows:
Compensated absences - increase $ (60,290)

STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary Information
The Town follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
Prior to June 1, the Town Finance Director submits to the Town Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them based on
previous year's history. Public hearings are conducted at the Town Hall to obtain
taxpayer comments. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an
ordinance.
2. The Town Finance Director is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between
departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of
any funds must be approved by the Town Council and New Mexico Department of
Finance, Division of Local Governments. The original budget that was adopted in July
was amended during the fiscal year in a legally permissible manner.

3. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY (Continued)
Budgetary Information (continued)
3. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year for the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds.
4. Encumbrances are not reported in the budgets or financial statements.
5. The level of classifications detail in which expenditures or expenses may not legally
exceed appropriations for each budget is in fund total. Appropriations lapse at year
end.
6. Budgets for the General and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis not
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Throughout the year the
accounting records are maintained on the non -GAAP basis of cash receipts and
disbursements. Accordingly, certain revenues and the related assets are recognized
when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. The financial statements are
presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Budgetary comparisons
presented for General and Special Revenue Funds in this report are on the non -GAAP
budgetary basis and actual (cash basis).
Deposits
The Town invests its funds in accordance with state statues which require that financial institutions
pledge collateral consisting of approved federal or state securities whose market value is equal to at
least 50% of the deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. In accordance with state statutes, the
Town may have deposits only in financial institutions, federal direct obligations, or the New Mexico
State Treasurer's Local Government Pooled Investment Plan. As of June 30, 2007 the Town had
$7,006,295 in financial institutions and $8,074,749 invested in the New Mexico State Treasurer's
Local Government Pooled Investment.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Town's deposits may not be
returned. The Town does not have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk. As of June 30, 2007,
$6,390,659 of the Town's bank balance of $6,798,504 was exposed to custodial credit risk as follows:
First

bank's trust department in the Bank's name 2,801,543 2,066,386 - 4,867,929
Total $ 4,324,232 $ 2,066,427 - $ 6,390,659
Also at June 30, 2007 the Town had $207,791 held in AP US Treasury Notes, in connection with
two New Mexico Finance Authority loans. One for wastewater project and the other for the
regional landfill construction. The notes, held by the Bank of Albuquerque Trust Services, in the
Bank's name, exposes the Town to custodial credit risk as noted above. The Town does not have
an investment policy to limit exposure to custodial credit risk or to manage its exposure to fair
value losses due to rising interest rates. At June 30, 2007 these investments were:
Bank of Albuquerque Y
NMFA (Wastewater) Reserves $ 62,254
NMFA (Landfill) Reserves 138,437
NMFA (Landfill) Construction 7,100
Total $ 207,791
Additionally, two debt service accounts are managed by the New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA),
on deposit with the State Treasurer's office, in NMFA's name for the benefit of the Town. These
accounts are exposed to custodial credit risk in the amount of $51,031.
Public Project Revolving Fund Program $ 9,442

2004 Taos Landfill Reserve 26,148
Total $ 51,031
Investments
The Town invests excess cash in the State Treasurer Local Government Investment Pool. The Pool's
investments are valued at fair value based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date. The New
Mexico State Treasurer Investment Pool is not SEC registered. Section 6-10-10 I, NMSA 1978,
empowers the State Treasurer, with the advice and consent of the State Board of Finance, to invest
money held in the short-term investment fund in securities that are issued or backed by the United
States Government or by its departments or agencies and are either direct obligations of the United
States Government or agencies sponsored by the United States Government. The Local Government
Investment Pool investments are monitored by the same policies and procedures that apply to all other
state investments. The pool does not have unit shares. Per 6-10-10.1 F, NMSA 1978, at the end of
each month all interest earned is distributed by the State Treasurer to the contribution entities in
amounts directly proportionate to the respective amounts deposited in the fund and the length of time
the amounts were invested. Participation in the fund is voluntary. The Pool is AAAm rated with a 24 -
day weighted average maturity.

Changes in Lone -term Liabilities
Long-term liability activity for the year ended June 30, 2007, was as follows:
Landfill Closure and Post Closure Costs
State and Federal laws regulations require the Town to place a final cover on its landfill site when it
stops accepting waste and to perfonn certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for
thirty years after closure. Although closure and post closure care will be paid only near or after the
date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the Town reports a portion of these closure and post
closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each
balance sheet date. The $235,575 reported as landfill closure and post closure care liability at June 30,
2007, represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on management's estimates and on the
area used by the landfill. Actual costs may differ due to inflation and changes in technology and
regulations.
The Town is required by state regulations to make annual contributions to a restricted cash account to
finance closure and post closure care. The town is in compliance with these requirements, and, as of
June 30, 2007, had transferred $616,489. The cumulative contribution is reported as restricted assets
on the balance sheet.

closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each
balance sheet date. The $235,575 reported as landfill closure and post closure care liability at June 30,
2007, represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on management's estimates and on the
area used by the landfill. Actual costs may differ due to inflation and changes in technology and
regulations.
The Town is required by state regulations to make annual contributions to a restricted cash account to
finance closure and post closure care. The town is in compliance with these requirements, and, as of
June 30, 2007, had transferred $616,489. The cumulative contribution is reported as restricted assets
on the balance sheet.

Deferred Compensation Plan
The State of New Mexico offers local governments a deferred compensation plan created in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all local government
employees whose employers have elected participation in the plan, permits participants to defer a
portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees
until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are held in trust by the State '
of New Mexico for the benefit of the participants.
Approximately forty-eight employees of the Town participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Neither the Town of Taos nor the State of New Mexico makes any contributions to the Deferred
Compensation Plan. All contributions withheld from participants by the Town of Taos, have been
paid to New Mexico Public Employees' Retirement Association, which administers the plan. _
Retiree Health Care Act Contributions
The Retiree Health Care Act (Act) (Chapter 10, Article 7C NMSA 1978) provides comprehensive core
group health insurance for persons who have retired from certain public service in New Mexico. The
Retiree Health Care Authority (NMRHCA) is the administrator of the plan. The purpose is to provide
eligible retirees, their spouses, dependents, and surviving spouses and dependents with health
insurance consisting of a plan, or optional plans, of benefits that can be purchased by funds flowing
into the Retiree Health Care Fund and by co -payments or out-of-pocket payments of eligible retirees.
Monies flow to the Retiree Health Care Fund on a pay-as-you-go basis from eligible employers and
eligible retirees. Eligible employers consist of institutions of higher education, school districts, or
other entities participating in the Public School Insurance Authority, state agencies, state courts,
magistrate courts, municipalities or counties, which are affiliated under or covered by the Educational
Retirement Act, Public Employees Retirement Act, Volunteer Firefighters Retirement Act, Judicial
Retirement Act, or the Magistrate Retirement Act.
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 Retiree Health Care Act on the person's behalf, unless that person retires on or before the
employer's NMRHCA effective date, in which event the time period for contributions becomes the
time between the employer's effective date, and the date of retirement; or (2) retirees defined by the
Act who retired prior to July 1, 1990 and formers legislators who serve at Least two years.
Each participating employer makes contributions to the fund in the amount of 1.3 percent of each
participating employee's annual salary. Each employee contributes to the fund an employee
contribution equal to .65 percent of the employee's annual salary. Each participating retiree pays a
monthly premium for the medical plus basic life plan and an additional five dollars ($5.00) if eligible
participant retired prior to the employer's NMRHCA effective date or is a former legislature.'
Participants may also enroll in optional plan coverage.

Retiree Health Care Act Contributions (continued)

Care Fund and are not refundable under any circumstances, including termination of employment or
termination of the participating employer's operation or participation in the Retiree Health Care Act.
The employer, employee and retiree contributions are required to be remitted to the Retiree Health
l Care Authority on a monthly basis.
The Retiree Health Care Authority issues a separate, publicly available audited financial report that
includes post employment benefit expenditures of premiums and claims paid, participant contributions
(employer, employee and retiree), and net expenditures for the fiscal year. The report also includes the
approximate number of retirees participating in the plan. That report may be obtained by writing to
the Retiree Health Care Authority, 4308 Carlisle NE, Suite 104, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87107.

The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Town has obtained
insurance through the Self Insurance Fund operating as a common risk management and insurance
program. The Town pays an annual premium to the New Mexico Self Insurers Fund for its general
insurance coverage and all risk of loss is transferred.
Restatement
The restatement to the Governmental Activities for $28,715 were due to duplicated capital assets from
the schedule in the prior year, which have been removed.
The restatement to the Capital Projects fund for $115,715 was due to an understatement of accounts
payable due to errors recording voided checks at year end.
Deficit Fund Equity
The Public Transportation Fund has a deficit fund balance of $616 as of June 30, 2007. It is
anticipated that the deficit will be funded by future increases in revenue or transfers from the General
Fund.

Joint Powers Agreements
The Town has entered into a joint powers agreement on July 6, 1998, with the County of Taos, Town
of Questa, and Village of Taos Ski Valley to provide an enhanced 911 -response system. The Town is
responsible for all operations. The agreement is to provide an answering point for information
regarding needed emergency services. The estimated annual cost is $480,000 with the Town
providing $272,596. The Town contributed $256,854 during the current year. The audit responsibility
lies with the Town. The agreement has no termination date.
An agreement between the Town, County of Taos, Village of Questa, Village of Red River and
Village of Taos Ski Valley was entered into on November 2, 2000 to establish the Taos Regional
Landfill Board. The Town of Taos was designated as fiscal agent and administrator of the regional
landfill. The parties to the agreement pay a tipping fee based on their percentage of usage and these
fees should be adjusted to meet the operations, maintenance and financing requirements. Expenditures
reported by the Town were $522,228 during 2007. The audit responsibility lies with the Town. Thi
agreement is for 50 years.
Contingencies
The Town, as Fiscal Agent for the Taos Regional Landfill Board, is party to litigation with
Enviroworks, LLC. The lawsuit asserts claims for breach of contract, equitable adjustment, negligent
misrepresentation, and breach of implied warranty of correctness of plans and specifications related to
the construction of Cell 1B at the Taos landfill. The lawsuit is in the early stages of discovery and no
opinion can be expressed as to the outcome of this lawsuit. The Town intends to resist the claim
vigorously. The Town is currently in mediation.
The Town and the Taos Pueblo entered into an agreement dated December 16, 1983 that called for the
Town to receive and treat sewage from the Pueblo for a 40 year period. Two major issues have been
disputed by both parties over the years. The Town has acknowledged that the Pueblo contributed
money in excess of what was due for its participation in the 1995 expansion of the Town's treatment
plant. The Pueblo has disputed the sewer service fees charged by the Town. The Town has made an
offer to pay the Pueblo a settlement, no longer bill the Pueblo for any disputed past due amounts and
for the parties to negotiate a new sewer rate to settle these issues. The parties are still in negotiations.
The Town has fully reserved the past due sewer charges owed by the Pueblo.

FEDERAL COMPLIANCE AND FINDINGS
PATTILLO, BROWN & HILL,L.L-P.
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ■ BUSINESS CONSULTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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
Bobby Duran, Mayor
Town Council
Town of Taos
Taos, New Mexico
and
r'
Hector H. Balderas
New Mexico State Auditor
Santa Fe, New Mexico
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, the aggregated remaining fund information, and the budgetary comparisons of the Town of Taos as
of and for the year ended June 30, 2007, and have issued our report thereon, dated November 27, 2007. We !'
have also audited the financial statements of each of the Town's nonmajor governmental funds, the combining
and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparisons. We conducted our audit in accordance [ '
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and the standards applicable to ( s
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Taos, New Mexico's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Town of Taos, New Mexico's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Town of Taos, New Mexico's internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we
identified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant
deficiencies.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiency, that
adversely affects the Town of Taos, New Mexico's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted principles such that there is more than a remote
likelihood that a misstatement of the Town of Taos, New Mexico's financial statements that is more than.

inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Town of Taos, New Mexico's internal control. We
consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs to be
significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting of findings 2007-1 to 2007-3.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiency, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected by the Town of Taos, New Mexico's internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the internal control that
might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies
that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we believe that none of the significant
deficiencies described above is a material weakness.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town of Taos's basic financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed instances of noncompliance, or other matters that are required to be reported under
1 Governmental Auditing Standards, which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs as items 2007-1 to 2007-3.
Town of Taos, New Mexico's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit Town of Taos, New Mexico's
responses and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Town, the Office of State
Auditor, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, the Office of the State Auditor, the New
Mexico Legislature, and the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration and should not be used by

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Bobby Duran, Mayor
Town Council
Town of Taos
Taos, New Mexico
and
Hector H. Balderas
New Mexico State Auditor
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the Town of Taos, New Mexico, with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance
Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2007. The
Town of Taos, New Mexico's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section
of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,;
regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the
Town of Taos, New Mexico's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Town of Taos,
New Mexico's compliance based on Our audit.
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 I
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 of Taos, New
Mexico'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. Our audit
does not provide a legal determination on the Town of Taos, New Mexico's compliance with those
requirements.

Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the Town of Taos, New Mexico, is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants
applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town of Taos, New
Mexico's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on compliance, 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 of Taos, New
Mexico's control over compliance.
A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance 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 non compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than .a remote
likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management, Town Council, and federal
awarding agencies and pass-through entities, the Office of the State Auditor, the New Mexico Legislature, and
the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration and is not intended to be and should not be used by

Bank Reconciliations
Condition: The Town's clearing bank accounts were not reconciled to the general ledger.
Criteria: NMSA 6-10-2 discusses the duty of public officials to balance public money at the
close of each business day. Good accounting practices also require bank reconciliation
are prepared at least monthly.
Effect: The Town's clearing accounts are not reconciled to the general ledger causing large
adjustments to the general ledger to balance cash.
Cause: Finance department turnover caused the workload in the department to increase due to
training new employees. Reconciliations were not prepared and payroll transactions
postings were supplicated. Instead of preparing an adjusting entry to correct the
general ledger the reconciler removed the duplicate transactions from the reconciliation
there by balancing the reconciliation.
Recommendation: The Town should review the general ledger history and prepare adjusting entries for the
duplicate transactions.
` Response: Management agrees with the recommendation, and will resolve in the current fiscal
year.
2007-2 Travel and Per Diem
Condition: One travel reimbursement reviewed, (cost based on actual expenses) did not have
supporting documentation for actual expenses reimbursed of $901.90.
i
Criteria: Travel and Per Diem, NMAC 2.42.2.9 requires submission of receipts for actual meals
and lodging expenses incurred. The Town's policy requires submittal of receipts within
10 days after the return travel date.
Effect: The reimbursement without receipts or an affidavit can cause an overpayment and or
misuse of public money.
Cause: The finance department requested on numerous occasions receipts for the travel
reimbursement. Payment was made without proper documentation.
Recommendation: The finance department should not pay travel reimbursement requests without all
documentation required. Under certain circumstances where the loss of receipts would
create a hardship, an affidavit from the office or employee attesting to the expenses
may be substituted for actual receipts.
Response: Management agrees with recommendation.

2007-3 Lodgers Tax
Condition: On October 5, 2007 the Town's attorney entered into an agreement with a Lodge for
$11,250 in settlement of past due lodgers tax for the years 2002-2005. Per the lodgers
tax audit the amount due for 2002-2005 was $128,967.
Criteria: The Lodgers Tax act, Sections 3-38-13 through 3-38-24 NMSA, in conjunction with
the Ordinance imposing the local tax, Ordinance No. 627, Section 19-55 of the Town of
Taos Municipal Code, as amended by Ordinance 83-6, 91-6, 92-4 and 97-32 impose
collection of lodgers tax on gross rental income. In addition the New Mexico'
Constitution, Article IV, section 32, prohibits the Town from extinguishing the amount
due except by receipt of payment in full or by proper proceedings in court.
Effect: By the Town not enforcing their policy and following State Constitution the Town is
potentially not collecting funds that are due, which could be utilized for promoting and
publicizing such facilities and tourist attractions.
Cause: Several lodging facilities were reducing lodging revenue by the value of complimentary
meals and beverages in order to arrive at the amount of revenue subject to the Town's
lodgers tax, despite the fact that occupants are paying lodgers' tax on the full room
charge. The above described deductions are only allowable when there is affirmative
approval from the Town pursuant to Taos Municipal Code, Section 4.12.030. No such
approvals were found by the auditor of the lodgers tax for 2002-2005.
Recommendation: The Town should consult with legal council to collect deficiencies based upon the
unapproved deductions for complimentary meals and beverages. The Town should
clarity its lodgers' tax ordinance to specifically address what constitutes amounts
received that are subject to lodgers tax. The Town should hold an educational forum to
inform all lodgers' of their responsibilities.
Response: Management response as follows:

You asked me to provide a legal opinion regarding whether a negotiation by the Town
of a settlement on past -due lodger's tax violates Article IV Section 32 of the New
Mexico Constitution.

Relevant Facts
The Town of Taos has entered into negotiations with various lodgers to negotiate a reasonable
settlement of past due lodgers tax. This tax was identified as owed when an audit was
conducted of the lodgers and the auditor determined that the lodgers had underreported the tax
owed to the Town. The lodgers raised an issue regarding the exact amount due and the Town
agreed that the total liability was not clearly identified; therefore the debt amount was in
dispute. The Town then entered into negotiations with the affected lodgers to negotiate a
reasonable settlement and the Town accepted as payment in full, an amount less than the
amount identified by the lodgers tax auditor.
The recent audit of the Town of Taos has proposed that this action by the Town is a violation
of Article IV Section 32 of the New Mexico Constitution. This memo addresses that proposal.
Relevant Law
Article IV Section 32 of the New Mexico Constitution, as amended 1958, states:
No obligation or liability of any person, association or corporation held or owned by or
owing to the state, or any municipal corporation therein, shall ever be exchanged,
transferred, remitted, released, postponed or in any way diminished by the legislature,
nor shall any such obligation or liability be extinguished except by the payment thereof
into the proper treasury, or by proper proceeding in court.
Position Statement
Article IV Section 32 of the New Mexico Constitution (hereafter Section 32) is being
construed to state that a municipality cannot extinguish a debt or liability except by payment in
full or proceeding in court. I respectfully disagree, and assert that Section 32 is applicable only
to legislative action not municipality action. This position is supported by opinions issued by
the Supreme Court of New Mexico as herein indicated.
Legal Analysis
Article 4 of the Constitution is entitled "Legislative Department'. Section 32 discusses
"Obligations and Liabilities" of the Leeislative Department. (Emphasis added). Because
Section 32 is located under the section of the Constitution that discusses the Legislature and
legislative activities, the intent of Section 32 is that it be applicable to actions of the Legislative
Department, not to actions of the municipality. If this provision was meant to be applied to
actions of the municipality, it would be found in Article X, County and Municipal
Corporations, or some other applicable provision.
Referring to Section 32 and editing for the purpose of interpretation, Section 32 would read as
follows:
No obligation or liability... held or owned by or owing to ... any municipal corporation
therein, shall ever be exchanged... by the legislature...

CURRENT YEAR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (continued)
Response: (continued)
It becomes clear that the actor in the section is the legislature, not the municipality. Thus the
prohibition is on the legislature not the municipality. This position is further supported by a
general review of opinions issued by the New Mexico Supreme Court where it has addressed ['
the validity of Section 32.
In the case of Hotels of Distinction West, Inc. v. City of Albuquerque, (107 N.M. 257, 755 [
P.2d 595) 1988, Plaintiff was seeking to have a development agreement entered into by the
City of Albuquerque for a convention center hotel, declared unconstitutional based on Section
32. In that case, the court clarified that Section 32 is applicable to legislative action, not to
municipality action. The court found that Section 32 was inapplicable to the actions of the City
of Albuquerque because the Legislature was not the body taking action or proposing to take
action.
The court stated:
Insofar as may be applicable, that section provides that the payment of any debt owed or
owing by any party to a municipality cannot be delayed or postponed by the legislature. It is
apparent on its face that the asserted constitutional prohibition has no bearing whatever on
this matter. No action by the legislature has occurred with respect to this project, and none is i
necessary or anticipated,. (Pinpoint citation omitted.)
This analysis can be applied to the instant situation. The Town of Taos has entered into a
contract for the settlement of a debt; the Legislature has not taken action, legislative action is
not necessary, nor is legislative action anticipated. Therefore, in the instant case, as in the cited
case, Section 32 is inapplicable. It is impossible to violate a section of the Constitution that
does not apply.
Other cases and situations where the court has addressed Section32 in similar manner, ie
referring to Section 32 as specifically being applicable to legislative action are as follows:
• State of New Mexico, ex rel., Public Employees Retirement Association v. Lougacre,
(133 N.M. 20, 59 P.3d 500) 2002
Although the adverb "ever" does not in any way speak to the attributes of those obligations
or liabilities the release of which by the legislature is forbidden by Article IV, Section 32...
(Citation omitted, emphasis added.)
• State of New Mexico, ex ret., Public Employees Retirement Association v. Longacre, [
(133 N.M. 20, 59 P.3d 500) 2002 €_
Under our interpretation of Article IV, Section 32, clearly the legislature may "eliminate
or reduce a tax... " (Citation omitted, emphasis added.)

• See Generally:
Gutierrez v. Gutierrez, (99 N.M. 333, 657 P.2d 1182) 1983, discussing constitutionality
of Section 32 as applied to accepting payment by the State of less than the full amount of
an undisputed legal obligation as a satisfaction. (Emphasis added.)
Conclusion
Section 32 of Article N of the New Mexico Constitution applies to the Legislative
Department. The plain language of Section 32 prohibits the Legislature acting to extinguish a
debt owed by a municipality through any method other than payment or court proceeding, (i.e.
through enacting a statute). The language does not identify the municipality as the actor.
Additionally, relevant case law agrees with this interpretation, Section 32 is a prohibition on
the Legislative Department acting, not the municipality.
Action by the Legislature to extinguish a debt owed to a municipality would be a violation -of
Section 32. Nothing in Section 32 or relevant case law interpreting Section 32 prohibits the
municipality from entering into a contract for settlement on a debt without court action.
Therefore, the negotiation by the Town of Taos and resulting payment and settlement of the
lodgers tax claim is not a violation of Article N of Section 32 of the New Mexico
Constitution.
