In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements 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 City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison, pension related schedules, and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) related schedules as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, 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. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The nonmajor funds combining information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The nonmajor funds combining information is the responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the nonmajor funds combining schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 20, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of 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 City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2024 As management of the City of Douglas (City), we present to readers of the City’s basic financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the City’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and various supplementary information. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Government-Wide: The restricted and unrestricted assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $178,833,206 (net position). Of this amount, $98,351,123 may be used to meet the government’s ongoing General Fund, and other non-major governmental funds and business-type activity obligations to citizens and creditors. Specific expenditure restrictions are $185,755 for the Perpetual Care Fund and $31,843 for special police projects. The City also has $80,264,485 invested in capital assets, net of debt obligations. The City’s total net position, including all funds, increased by $14,521,749. The City’s total net long-term liabilities decreased by $990,550 during the current fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to decrease of pension and post-retirement liabilities. Fund Basis: As of June 30, 2024, unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $55,636,122. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s other governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $29,969,171 of which all is assigned for equipment replacement or capital projects except for $217,598 which is restricted for police grants and cemetery perpetual care. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business. The statement of financial position presents information on all the City’s 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 of whether the net position of the City is improving or deteriorating. ---PAGE BREAK--- HOME OF THE JACKALOPE. 101 N. 4 T H STREET I P.O. BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG 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 cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes or expenses pertaining to earned but unused vacation and sick leave. The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, such as grant revenue (governmental activities), and from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). Governmental activities of the City include those related to legislative and legal, general government, public safety, public health, community and cultural, public works and direct assistance to other entities. Business-type activities of the City include those related to water, sewer, sanitation, and solid waste (landfill) utility services. 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 City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary 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 near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements. 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 City maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General and Capital Projects – Street Improvement Funds, which are considered major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements, located in the other supplementary information section of this report. ---PAGE BREAK--- HOME OF THE JACKALOPE. 101 N. 4 T H STREET I P.O. BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its funds. A budgetary comparison is provided for each of the City’s major governmental funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The budgetary comparison statements for the general fund is in the required supplementary information section of this report. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for operations that provide services to the public on a continuing basis or to internal City departments. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information contained in the business-type activities portion of the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds, enterprise, and internal service. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, sanitation, and solid waste management (landfill) utility operations. The City reports enterprise operations for the water, sewer, sanitation, and solid waste management (landfill) utility operations. The water, sewer, and landfill funds are considered major funds. Internal Service funds are accounting mechanisms used to accumulate and allocate costs among the City’s various functions. The City uses an internal service fund to account for the operation of the City’s Employee Health Insurance function. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business- type functions, they are incorporated into governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The internal service fund is presented in the proprietary fund financial statements Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government and consist of Perpetual Care, Deferred Compensation, Visible Memorials, Utility Deposits, and Historic Preservation. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the accompanying government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found in the basic financial statements section of this report. NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information and narrative disclosures that are essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Other information: In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s budgetary compliance of the General Fund. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with governmental funds and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. ---PAGE BREAK--- HOME OF THE JACKALOPE. 101 N. 4 T H STREET I P.O. BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG STATEMENT OF NET POSITION OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION As noted earlier, financial position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $178,833,206 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. A large portion of the City’s financial position (44%) reflects its net investment of $80,264,485 in capital assets (for example, land, buildings, infrastructure, vehicles, and equipment), net of related debt used to acquire those assets and that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s 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.

BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG An additional portion of the City’s financial position, $217,598, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted financial position in all City funds of $98,351,123 may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Specific expenditure designations apply to the special revenue funds and much of the capital project funds. At June 30, 2024, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of financial position, for the government as a whole and business-type activities. The City’s net position increased $14,521,749 during the current fiscal year. This increase is due to the change in net position of the Governmental Activities of $13,601,391 and an increase in net position of Business –Type activities of $920,358. Mineral taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, franchise fees and other taxes are general revenues used to support overall government functions; therefore, these are not shown as program revenues. Governmental activities increased the City’s net assets by $13,601,391. Key factors of this change in governmental activities are the sales tax revenue increase of $2,617,912 due to the continued strong economy from the energy related activities and continued deferment for future capital projects. The City’s business-type activities consisting of the water, sewer, sanitation, and landfill funds are mainly funded by fees for services. Business-type activities increased the City’s overall financial position by $920,358 for the fiscal year mainly due to a continued strong economy due to the energy related activities and continued deferment for future capital projects. The fund balances of the capital projects funds represent assigned funds to be used for payment of current in- process and future capital projects. The Internal Service Fund has an unrestricted financial position of $162,141 to cover the current costs related to employee health insurance premiums and operating costs. The City maintains agency funds for the assets of the Perpetual Care, Visible Memorials, Utility Deposits, and Historic Preservation. They also maintain a Pension Trust Fund to account for the activity of the Deferred Compensation Plan and the Retirement Health Savings Plan. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities for the current fiscal year amounts to $80,264,485 (net of debt obligation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and related systems, improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, and infrastructure. Major capital projects in progress during the year included the various water, sewer & street projects, equipment purchases and replacements and building repairs and maintenance. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total net long-term obligations outstanding of $6,371,822. Of this amount, $657,952 relates to the Landfill post closure liability and $207,793 for accrued compensated absences. ---PAGE BREAK--- HOME OF THE JACKALOPE. 101 N. 4 T H STREET I P.O.

BOX 1030 I DOUGLAS, WY 82633 [PHONE REDACTED] – PHONE I WWW.CITYOFDOUGLAS.ORG Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates The City continues to maintain excellent reserve balances as we experience additional demands for services and volatile revenue streams. Additionally, current inflationary costs add to the challenge of funding ongoing expenses and continuing normal service operation. The City remains heavily reliant upon State revenue Sources and has limited opportunities to increase local revenues. Passage of the 1-cent general purpose tax sustains essential services for the city to meet demands and maintain our infrastructure. The City maintains reserves, whether restricted (legally mandated), designated (set by City policy), or unrestricted, in several funds. The reserve policy for the General Fund is to maintain a 25% operating reserve as a percentage of expenditures; the Health Care Fund maintains a reserve of six months of claims and expenses. The Water Fund is to maintain $2 million in reserves per City Ordinance 13.16.010. The Sewer Fund is to maintain $1 million in reserves per City Ordinance 13.44.070; Sanitation’s requirement is $250,000 per City Ordinance 13.64.040, and the Landfill Fund is required to keep $500,000 in reserve per City Ordinance 13.64.045. The City’s total anticipated expenditures for fiscal year 2025 will be approximately $59,332,465. General Fund expenditures are anticipated to be $11,120,977. Enterprise Funds anticipate expenditures to be $19,835,220 which includes capital expenditures including various water and sewer main replacements. Capital Project Funds anticipate expenditures of $26,362,101.

The primary government is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing body and it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or burdens on the primary government. The primary government may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government. Although the City has an interest in the Douglas Housing Authority, Douglas Volunteer Fire Department, and the Douglas Community Club, they do not fall within the financial accountability requirements above, and this report does not contain any component units. The City of Douglas, Wyoming provides services authorized by its charter to advance the welfare, health, comfort, safety, and convenience of its populace. The City provides for the public safety of its citizens by providing police and fire protection. The City also maintains the streets, provides water, sewer, sanitation, and landfill services as well as parking, parks, and recreation. The City operates under the Mayor-Council form of government. Basis of Presentation The City’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities. The City’s basic financial statements also contain separate governmental fund financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the City as a whole. Both the governmental and business-type activities are presented on a consolidated basis by column and are reflected on a full accrual, economic resource basis which incorporates long-term assets, receivables and long-term debt and obligations. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government, except fiduciary funds. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which generally rely on fees and charges for support. The statement of net position presents the financial condition of the City at year-end. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each program or function of the City’s activities. Direct expenses are those specifically associated with a service, program, or department and therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program, grants, and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular program. Revenues, such as taxes, that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the City. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each function is self-financing or draws from general revenues of the City. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 24 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fund Financial Statements Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. The following is a brief description of the specific funds used by the City. Governmental Funds Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed. Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses, and balances of current financial resources. Assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purpose for which they may be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The difference between governmental fund assets and liabilities is reported as fund balance. The following are the City’s major governmental funds. Major Governmental Funds: General Fund The General Fund is used to account for all financial transactions of the City not properly accounted for in other funds. The revenue of the fund is derived mainly from sales and use taxes, other taxes, intergovernmental sources and charges for services with expenditures relating to general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, debt payments and capital outlays. Street Improvement Capital Projects Fund The Street Improvement Capital Projects Fund accounts for various financial resources that are received and intended for expenditure of capital outlays. The revenue of the fund consists primarily of transfers from the general fund and federal, state, and local grants. Proprietary Funds: Enterprise Funds The Proprietary Funds record the City’s activities that are operated similar to private business enterprises, where determination of net income is necessary or useful for financial administration. The four proprietary funds of the City are the Water Fund which provides water to the residents of the City; the Sewer Fund which receives and treats wastewater; the Landfill fund which operates the landfill for the city; and the Sanitation Fund which collects garbage. Enterprise funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 25 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Internal Service Fund The Internal Service Fund is used to account for the financing of the self-funded health plan provided by the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The internal service fund is accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net position and changes in net position. The fiduciary funds account for the custodial responsibilities of the city. The City’s custodial funds account for utility deposits collected from customers and refunded at a period in time. The Visible Memorials Fund and Historic Preservation Commission Fund hold funds on behalf of donors of memorial funds and for the projects of the Commission. Pension Trust Fund The pension trust fund accounts for assets held in trust and the receipt, investment, and distribution of deferred compensation and retirement health savings on behalf of current and former employees. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Major revenue types, which have been accrued, are revenues from taxes and investments, intergovernmental revenue and charges for services. Grants are recognized as revenue when all applicable eligibility requirements imposed by the provider are met. Governmental fund level financial statements are reported using 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 available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Measurable and available revenues include revenues expected to be received within 60 days after the fiscal year ends. Expenditures generally are recorded when a fund liability is incurred; however, expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when the liability has matured, and payment is due. The proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting as follows: 1. Revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when the liabilities are incurred. 2. Current year contributions, administrative expenses and benefit payments, which are not received or paid until the subsequent year, are accrued. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 26 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments For purposes of the proprietary funds statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments. Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivables in governmental funds and governmental activities include revenue accruals such as sales and use tax, grants and other similar intergovernmental revenues since they are usually both measurable and available. Non-exchange transactions that are collectible but not available are deferred. Interest and investment earnings are recorded when earned only if paid within 60 days since they would be considered both measurable and available at the fund level. The policy of the City has been to retain bad debts on the books until they are proven to be uncollectible. Accounts due exceeding 60 days are sent to collection. Accounts are written off when the City is notified by the collection agency that all collection efforts have been exhausted. The allowance is an estimated percent of the accounts sent to collection. Utility fund customer accounts receivable and other miscellaneous accounts receivable in the proprietary fund are recorded at the amount the City expects to collect on balances outstanding. Receivables have been reported net of the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The allowance is estimated based on prior experience. The allowance for uncollectible accounts as of June 30, 2024 is $20,919. Prepaid Expenses Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items both in government-wide and fund financial statements. The most common types of expenditures meeting this stipulation is the payment of insurance, technology services or maintenance contracts. Capital Assets and Depreciation Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business type activity columns in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are recorded at cost if purchased, or at fair market value as of the date of the gift if received as a donation. The City maintains a capitalization threshold of $5,000 for buildings, site improvements, and equipment and vehicles. Improvements are capitalized; the costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset’s life are not. Interest incurred during the construction of capital assets utilized by the enterprise funds is also capitalized. Starting July 1, 2003, the governmental funds began capitalizing infrastructure assets. Under the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the City estimated the value of infrastructure from the prior years. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 27 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Street infrastructure assets are entered into the system on a network basis since these assets consist of several different components of road and street construction. All property, plant and equipment of governmental or business type activities are depreciated using the straight- line method with the following estimated useful lives: Classes of Assets Useful Life Buildings and improvements 5-40 years Equipment and machinery 5-10 years Infrastructure 5-40 years Transportation equipment 5-10 years In the governmental fund financial statements, capital purchases are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures. Compensated Absences It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned and unused vacation and sick leave, which will be paid to employees upon separation from the City’s service. In governmental funds, the cost of vacation and sick leave is recognized when payments are made to employees. The long-term obligation is recorded and expense recognized as the leave is earned in the governmental activities and proprietary funds. Accrued Liabilities and Long-Term Obligations All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide financial statements and all payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term obligations payable from enterprise funds are reported on the proprietary fund financial statements. In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a timely manner and in full from current financial resources are reported as obligations of the funds. Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an expense or expenditure until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The City reports the following deferred inflows and outflows of resources: ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 28 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Unavailable revenues and advance collection of revenues – unavailable revenue and advance collection of revenues is reported in the governmental funds’ balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from taxes. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. Pension and OPEB related amounts – In the government-wide and proprietary fund statements of net position, a deferred outflow or deferred inflow of resources is reported for the unrecognized items not yet charged to pension and OPEB expense related to the net pension and OPEB liabilities. This includes the unamortized portion of the net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments and other differences between expected and actual experience. Deferred outflows and inflows for the net difference between projected and actual investment earnings are recognized over time. Net Position For government‐wide reporting as well as in proprietary funds, the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is called net position. Net position is comprised of three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. a. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by outstanding balances of bonds, notes, and other debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt are included in this component of net position. b. Restricted net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either by external parties or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation. c. Unrestricted net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories. It is the City’s policy to first use restricted net position prior to the use of unrestricted net position when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available. Fund Balance In governmental fund types, the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is called “fund balance.” The City’s governmental funds report the following categories of fund balance, based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. a. Nonspendable fund balance represents amounts that are either not in a spendable form or are legally or contractually required to remain intact. b. Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers such as grantors or enabling federal, state, or local legislation. Restrictions may be changed or lifted only with the consent of the resource providers. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 29 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) c. Committed fund balance represents amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by the adoption of an ordinance committing fund balance for a specified purpose by the City Council prior to the end of the fiscal year. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until the resources have been spent for the specified purpose or the Board adopts another ordinance to remove or revise the limitation. d. Assigned fund balance represents amounts that are intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The City Council has by resolution authorized the finance director to assign fund balance. The City Council may also assign fund balance, as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment. e. Unassigned fund balance represents the residual amount for the general fund that is not contained in the other classifications. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance. Additionally, any deficit fund balance within the other governmental fund types is reported as unassigned. Internal and Inter-Fund Balances and Activities Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as expenditures/expenses in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds. Government-Wide Financial Statements: Inter-fund activity and balances, if any, are eliminated or reclassified in the government-wide financial statements as follows: a. Internal balances – Amounts reported in the fund financial statements as inter-fund receivables and payables are eliminated in the governmental and business-type activities columns of the statement of net position, except for the net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities, which are reported as internal balances. b. Internal activities – Amounts reported as inter-fund transfers in the fund financial statements are eliminated in the statement of activities except for the net amount of transfers between governmental and business-type activities, which are reported as transfers.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Property Taxes The City is permitted by Wyoming Statutes to levy up to eight mills of the assessed valuation in the City. The City has levied eight mills in the current year. The City levies taxes on assessed property through Converse County, who acts as the agent to levy and collect property tax within the county. The taxes are levied on the assessed valuation of the prior year according to the tax calendar below. Collections are distributed after the end of each month. Consequently, the vast majority of taxes have been levied and collected within the City’s fiscal year. Assessed valuation and tax levies are subject to adjustment for prior years (rebates and supplemental), as controlled by the County or State. The City does not adjust or record estimates for these adjustments, as they are adjusted to current year tax receipts when they are approved. The tax calendar is as follows: August 10 Taxes are levied and become an enforceable lien on properties. September 1 First of two equal installment payments is due. November 10 First installment is delinquent. March 1 Second installment is due. May 10 Second installment is delinquent. Under GASB Standards, a receivable can be recorded at the earliest of the date of the assessment or the date a lien is placed on the property. Neither of these items occur prior to June 30th for the upcoming 2024 levy; therefore, at June 30, 2024, the property tax receivable consists of unpaid property taxes from the August 2023 levy. Effective January 1, 2022, mineral ad valorem property taxes are billed and collected by the Department of Revenue, with a true-up following the annual assessment on January 1. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The estimate of pension liabilities is especially significant to the City. It is reasonably possible that this estimate will change within one year of the date of the financial statements due to one or more future events. The effect of the change could be material to the financial statements. 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all funds and annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP. The City Manager submits an annual budget to the City Council in accordance with the City of Douglas Municipal Code and the Wyoming Municipal Fiscal Procedures Act. In June, the City Council adopts annual fiscal year appropriation budgets for all funds. All unencumbered appropriations lapse following the close of the budget year to the extent they are not expended. Encumbered appropriations are generally reappropriated in the ensuing year’s budget. Legal spending control for City monies is at the activity level within each department and individual fund. The City Council may amend the budget after it is approved. Management monitors expenditures at budgetary line item levels within each fund to enhance the accounting control system and may amend the budget at this level as long as the activity level budget is maintained. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 31 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY (Continued) The City’s procedures for establishing the budget each year are as follows:  During March and April, the City’s Manager and Treasurer, compute, estimate, and review information to prepare the proposed budget.  The resolution appropriating money for the annual budget is submitted to the City Council at a City Council meeting in June of each year.  Final budget hearings are held no later than the third Tuesday of June’s council meeting, at which time the budget is legally enacted through the passage of resolution for the fiscal year beginning July 1 each year.  During the year, the City monitors the budget and amends through a budget hearing when necessary. The City is reporting financial position, results of operations, and changes in fund balance/net position on the basis of GAAP. 3. INVESTMENTS Investments are carried at fair value. The City measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established by GAAP. These guidelines recognized a three-tiered fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets; Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices; and, Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the weighted average maturities of each investment type as well as the respective credit risk rating of the investments: Investment Type Fair Value Fair Value Measurement Level Credit Risk Rating Weighted Average Maturity in Years Primary Government Certificates of Deposit - Peaks Investment Management 2,176,984 $ Level 2 Unrated 1.33 Certificates of Deposit - Converse County Bank 43,438,620 Level 2 Unrated 0.41 Certificates of Deposit - Points West Community Bank 12,596,087 Level 2 Unrated 0.33 Certificates of Deposit - First Northern Bank 8,025,902 Level 2 Unrated 1.15 Mortgaged Backed Securities 8,823,119 Level 1 AA+ 2.94 US Treasury Notes 1,114,777 Level 1 AAA 0.81 WyoStar 534,032 Level 1 Unrated N/A Wyoming Government Investment Fund 256,315 Level 1 Unrated N/A Wyoming Class 9,063,426 Level 1 Unrated N/A Money Market 25,303 Level 1 Unrated N/A Total 86,054,565 $ Fiduciary Funds Mutual Funds 6,253,774 $ Level 1 NA NA Money Market 136 Level 1 NA NA Guaranteed Interest Accounts 45,585 Level 2 Unrated N/A Certificates of Deposit - Points West Community Bank 93,801 Level 2 Unrated 0.33 Total 6,393,296 $ ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 32 3. INVESTMENTS (Continued) Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that an insurer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. This risk is generally measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization as shown in the table above. Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rate will adversely affect the fair value of an instrument. The City’s policy is to review the portfolio on an ongoing basis for changes in effective yields and compare those yields to those of specific investments to ensure reasonable rates are being achieved. Custodial Credit Risk - Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover the value of the investments or collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party. The City’s policy for custodial credit risk is to have all funds on deposit collateralized at a level of 102 percent of deposits including accrued interest or higher if required by law. Investments are held in safekeeping by external custodians in the City’s name. 4.

PARTICIPATION IN THE WYOMING RETIREMENT SYSTEM The City’s employees participate in either the Public Employee Pension Plan, or the Law Enforcement Pension Plan within the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS or the Plan), which is a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit plan. GASB standards require that the City recognize a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. This proportion is required to be determined on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which contributions to the plan are determined. The City derived their portion of the net pension liability by applying the actual contribution as a percentage of total contributions to the Plan. In addition to reporting the City’s share of the net pension liability, deferred inflows and deferred outflows on the statement of net position and the related expense on the statement of activities, this standard requires the City to present two additional schedules in the required supplementary information section of this report, including the Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and the Schedule of Contributions. Significant Accounting Policies For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and pension expense, this information has been determined using the same basis as reported by WRS. Benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms and investments are reported at fair value. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 36 7. PARTICIPATION IN THE WYOMING RETIREMENT SYSTEM (Continued) General Information about the Plans Public Employee Pension Plan - An actuarial valuation of the Plan’s assets and net pension liability is performed annually. At the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, January 1, 2024, the fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability increased from 75.47 percent on January 1, 2023 to 80.19 percent on January 1, 2024. The net pension liability as a percentage of covered payroll decreased from 151.36 percent to 120.86 percent as of January 1, 2023, and 2024, respectively. The net pension liability was $2.27 billion as of January 1, 2024 compared to $2.73 billion as of January 1, 2023. This is a decrease from the prior year. Law Enforcement Pension Plan – An actuarial valuation of the Plan’s assets and net pension liability is performed annually. At the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, January 1, 2024, the fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability increased from 70.30 percent on January 1, 2023 to 86.90 percent on January 1, 2024. The net pension liability as a percentage of covered payroll decreased from 211.06 percent to 80.76 percent as of January 1, 2023, and 2024, respectively. The net pension liability was $135.1 million as of January 1, 2024 compared to $340.65 million as of January 1, 2023. This is a decrease from the prior year. Determination of Tier 1 versus Tier 2 Employees - Public Employee Plan Tier 1 employees are those whose first contribution to the Plan is on or before September 1, 2012; whereas, Tier 2 employees are those whose first contribution to the Plan is after September 1, 2012. Vesting Participants are vested within the Plan after four years of service constituted by 48 months of service for the Public Employee and Law Enforcement Plans. Contributions As a condition of participation in the Plan, employers and/or employees are required to contribute certain percentages of salary and wages as authorized by Wyoming State Statute and specified by the WRS Board. Contributions are actuarially determined as an amount that is expected to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded actuarial accrued liability. The statutorily required contribution rate for fiscal year 2024 was 18.62 percent. The Law Enforcement Pension Plan requires a contribution of 17.2 percent of eligible wages. Benefits – Public Employee Pension Plan The Public Employees Plan provides retirement, disability and death benefits according to predetermined formulas and allows retirees to select one of seven optional methods for receiving benefits, including two joint and survivor forms of benefits: a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity, and a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity. The benefit amounts under these options are determined on an actuarially equivalent basis. Any cost of living adjustment (COLA) provided to retirees must be granted by the State Legislature. In addition, a COLA will not be approved by the legislature unless the plan is 100 percent funded after the COLA is awarded. Employees terminating prior to normal retirement can elect to withdraw all employee contributions plus accumulated interest through date of termination or, if they are vested, they may elect to remain in the Plan and be eligible for unreduced retirement benefits at age 60 (Tier 1 employee) or 65 (Tier 2 employee). ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 37 7. PARTICIPATION IN THE WYOMING RETIREMENT SYSTEM (Continued) Tier 1, the Plan allows for normal retirement after four years of service and attainment of age 60. Early retirement is allowed provided the employee has completed four years of service and attained age 50 or 25 years of service but will result in a reduction of benefits based on the length of time remaining to age 60. Tier 2, the Plan allows for normal retirement after four years of service and attainment of age 65. Early retirement is allowed provided the employee has completed four years of service and attained age 55, or 25 or more years of service but will result in a reduction of benefits based on the length of time remaining to age 65. All employees may also retire upon normal retirement on the basis that the sum of the member’s age and service is at least 85. Benefits – Law Enforcement Pension Plan The Plan statutorily provides retirement, disability and death benefits according to predetermined amounts determined by salary, age and years of service of the participant. Any COLA provided to retirees must be granted by the State Legislature. In addition, a COLA will not be approved by the legislature unless the plan is 100 percent funded after the COLA is awarded. Participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time and receive refunds of participant contributions plus accumulated interest. Actuarial Assumptions An actuarial valuation of each WRS defined benefit plan is performed annually. The funded status of each plan is shown in the Schedules of Funding Progress, which is located in the Actuarial section of the WRS ACFR. It is important to note that in November 2021 and also in February 2022, the WRS Board changed the assumptions used by the actuary to value the plans. The new assumptions are reflected in the valuation results and have been incorporated into the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability. In general, the new assumptions reflect an update to the mortality tables, adjustments to the demographic and salary scale, as well as a lower long-term investment return. For all plans except the Paid Firemen’s Pension Plan A, beginning July 1, 2012 all future COLA’s must be granted by the State Legislators. In addition, the WRS board cannot recommend the COLA unless the plan is considered actuarially sound and the unfunded liability must not drop below 100% after the award of the COLA. The results of the actuarial valuation are dependent upon the actuarial assumptions used. Actual results can and almost certainly will differ, as actual experience deviates from the assumptions. Even seemingly minor changes in the assumptions can materially change the liabilities, calculated contributions rates and funding periods. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected arithmetic returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These real rates of return are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. For each major asset class that is included in the Plan’s target asset allocation as of January 1, 2024 the best estimates are summarized in the following table: ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 38 7. PARTICIPATION IN THE WYOMING RETIREMENT SYSTEM (Continued) Asset Class Target Allocation Geometric Real Return Arithmetic Real Return Tactical cash 0.50% -0.30% -0.30% Gold 1.50% 2.13% 0.70% Fixed income 20.00% 3.35% 3.80% Equity 51.50% 6.52% 8.20% Marketable alternatives 16.00% 4.39% 5.23% Private markets 10.50% 5.97% 7.48% Total 100.00% 5.39% 6.61% Discount Rate Projected benefit payments are required to be discounted to their actuarial present values using a single discount rate that reflects 1) a long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (to the extent that the Plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits using a 100-year analysis) and 2) a tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating (which is published by the Federal Reserve) as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use with the long-term expected rate of return are not met). For purposes of this valuation, the expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.80% and the municipal bond rate is 3.77%, which is based upon fixed- income municipal bonds with 20 years to maturity that include only federally tax-exempt municipal bonds as reported in Fidelity Index’s 20-Year Municipal GO AA Index as of December 31, 2023. The projection of cash flows used to determine the rate assumed that plan member contributions and employer contributions will be made at the current contribution rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense (Revenue), and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources related to Pensions At June 30, 2024, the City reported a total liability of $4,124,297 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2023, applied to all prior periods included in the measurement. Actuarial valuation involves estimates of the reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Amounts determined regarding the net pension liability are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. An experience study was conducted covering the five-year period ending December 31, 2020. The net pension liability as of December 31, 2023 is based on the results of an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2023, rolled forward to a measurement date of December 31, 2023, and taking into consideration information from the recent experience study. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 39 7.

OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN Plan Description The City participates in a single-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan, the Retirees Health Insurance Plan. The City Council has the authority for establishing and amending the plan. This plan does not issue a separate report. A retiree is eligible for coverage under the group insurance plan at premium rates established by the City provided the retiree has had medical coverage in effect under the group insurance plan at the time of retirement and has accumulated 75 points (service plus age) at retirement. The plan is considered an "Other Post - Employment Benefit" (OPEB). The plan is administered through a non-qualifying trust per paragraph 4, item of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Required Contributions. Contributions are required for both retiree and dependent coverage up to member age 65. The City is currently providing a subsidy to offset the retiree’s contribution for the medical insurance program. To comply with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the City is required to have an actuarial valuation of the post-retirement benefit plan at least every two years. The actuarial valuation is done to identify the actuarial accrued liability, the annual required contribution, and the net OPEB obligation. The retiree benefits offered by the City included in this actuarial valuation include the self-funded medical benefit plan. Currently, the retiree benefits are subsidized by the city based on age and years of service. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 42 8.

The actuarial valuation assumes the use of the Entry Age method of valuation with amortization on a level dollar basis. The City finances the program on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. The City Council has the authority for establishing and amending the funding policy. OPEB Liability and Deferred Outflows/Inflows Related to OPEB The City’s total OPEB liability of $870,030 was measured as of June 30, 2024, and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2022. The table below shows the cumulative amounts to be shown as Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources. Changes in Total OPEB Liability related to the difference in actual and expected experience, or changes in assumptions regarding future events, are recognized in OPEB Expense over the expected remaining service life of all employees (active and retired) in the postretirement plan. Differences in projected and actual earnings over the measurement period are recognized over a 5-year period. Amounts not yet recognized are summarized below: Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Inflows of Resources Differences between expected and actual experience - $ (324,282) $ Changes in assumptions 92,013 - Total 92,013 $ (324,282) $ ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 43 8. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN (Continued) Contributions subsequent to the Measurement Date may be recognized as a reduction to the Net OPEB Liability. The amount is not known as of the date of this report. Subsequent to the Measurement Date, the following amounts will be recognized in OPEB Expense in the upcoming years: Year Ended June 30, Net Deferred Outflows/Inflows 2025 (39,624) $ 2026 (39,624) 2027 (39,624) 2028 (43,692) 2029 (49,787) Thereafter (19,918) (232,269) $ Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs The total OPEB liability in the July 1, 2022 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods including in the measurements, unless otherwise specified: To select assumptions to be used in the valuation, a number of factors are considered. These factors include the level of benefits provided by the plan, the ages at which these benefits become available, recent experience of the group, experience of employees in the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS), the insights and observations of the administration, and the actuary's best estimate of the likelihood of certain events, given experience with other plans under similar circumstances. It was not possible to develop reasonable pre-retirement decrement assumptions for withdrawal, mortality and disability rates based on the experience of the City due to its size. To obtain more reliable experience, other sources were used. Mortality, withdrawal, and disability assumptions are from the Wyoming Retirement System January 1, 2024 actuarial valuation. Retirement assumptions are based on City experience. The discount assumption reflects the time value of money as of the valuation date. The Discount Rate was 3.86% for the Fiscal Year-Ended June 30, 2024. The underlying index used is the High Quality 20-Tax-Exempt Bond G.O. Index. The rate has been updated to the current Fiscal Year-End based on changes in market conditions as reflected in the index. The rate selected is as of June 30, 2024, and is the most recent rate available prior to the Measurement Date.

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COSTS State and federal laws and regulations require that the City place final cover on its landfill when closed and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill site for thirty years after closure. In addition to operating expenses related to current activities of the landfill, a liability is being recognized based on the future closure and postclosure care costs that will be incurred near or after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The recognition of these landfill closure and postclosure care costs is based on the estimate of future costs to be incurred by the City. In June of 2015, the City began transferring most waste to Casper and began the process of closure of the main acreage in the landfill. The estimated liability for landfill closure and postclosure care costs of the main acreage is $657,952 as of June 30, 2024. The contract approved for closure was significantly lower than original engineering estimates. The State of Wyoming approved a grant in the amount of $1,440,000 to assist in covering costs of closure. The actual costs of closure and postclosure care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations. It is reasonably possible that the City’s recorded estimate of its liability may change in the near term. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 45 9. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COSTS (Continued) The City is required by state and federal laws and regulations to make annual contributions to finance closure and postclosure care. To comply with this requirement, the City participates in the State of Wyoming Financial Assurance Program for Municipal Landfills. The Department of Environmental Quality had approved the City’s current landfill operating permit through 2014. As noted above, in June of 2015, the City began to transfer their waste to the Casper Landfill. 10. PARTIALLY SELF-FUNDED EMPLOYEE HEALTH CARE PLAN As an employee benefit, the City maintains a partially self-funded employee health care plan for all full time employees. The plan, accounted for in an internal service fund, provides extensive major medical, wellness, dental, and vision coverage. As of January 1, 2016, the plan requires single and family deductibles of $750 and $1,500 respectively, as well as an 80% co-insurance requirement for substantially all eligible health care expenses. The plan is funded on an impress basis by assessing each operating department a fixed charge per employee for stop loss coverage premiums and a variable proportional charge per employee for direct health care costs incurred below the stop loss limits. The City believes there are adequate resources available in the various operating funds to provide sufficient funding for the plan. The reported liability includes an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. The liability is management’s best estimate based on available information. Medical claims in excess of $35,000 per employee, and those exceeding an aggregate amount dependent upon the number of covered employees, are covered through a private insurance carrier to further protect the City. Ending claims liability balance was $391,008 which is an increase from the prior year. 11. SECTION 457 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The City maintains two deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Both plans are used by City employees with only ICMA being offered to new employees. Employees defer a portion of their salary until future years. Deferred compensation is not available until termination, retirement, death, or financial hardship. The plans are reported in the employee’s Deferred Compensation Fund. The plans’ assets are presented at fair value. All investments in deferred compensation plans are held in trust in the City’s accounts and recorded at market value as determined by the respective fund managers based on quoted sales prices of the underlying securities. Investments are in a combination of managed domestic stock funds, international stock funds, bond funds, and money market funds. The market value of the plans’ accounts at June 30, 2024 is as follows: Market Value ICMA Retirement Corporation Plan 5,085,589 $ EQUI-VEST Plan 287,814 5,373,403 $ ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 46 12. RETIREMENT HEALTH SAVINGS PLAN On June 27, 2005, the City created the City of Douglas Retirement Health Savings Plan (the savings plan). All full-time employees age 18 years old and above are eligible. Under the savings plan, the employee makes mandatory pre-tax contributions of sick leave. The health benefit is available upon separation of service, retirement, or death of the employee. The laws governing retirement health savings plans require the use of an integral part trust. The savings plan is reported in the Pension Trust Fund. The savings plan’s assets are specified interest instruments reported at fair value of $546,276. 13. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS At various times, claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. The City is of the opinion that the liability, if any, arising from such claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements. Under the terms of Federal and state grants, periodic audits are required, and certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the terms of the grants. Such audits could lead to reimbursement to the grantor agencies. City management believes disallowances, if any, would not be significant to the City’s financial statements. Risk of loss The City is subject to risk of loss from various events, including torts, theft, damage to assets, business interruption, errors and omissions, and job-related injuries to employees, as well as acts of God. The City purchased commercial insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to minimize their risks of loss. No settlements occurred during the current year, and no significant reduction in coverage against losses from year to year has occurred. Employees of the City are covered by the City’s medical plan. The City’s costs for this plan are reflected in the funds paying the coverage, premiums and administrative costs. Construction and engineering commitments The City has multiple ongoing construction and engineering commitments related to construction in progress the balance of which is included in Note 4. 14. RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; employee injuries and illnesses; natural disasters; and employee health, dental, and accident benefits. The City’s general liability insurance is provided by participation in the Local Government Liability Pool (LGLP). LGLP manages risk by receiving an annual actuarial assessment of funding needs. The LGLP have never requested a reserve call on its members. All risk management activities are accounted for in each fund as appropriate. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The City also participates in the Wyoming workers compensation program. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF DOUGLAS, WYOMING NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 47 14. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) Wyoming Statute 27-14-101 created the Wyoming Worker’s Compensation Act (the Act), which is administered as an enterprise fund by the State of Wyoming. All employers within the State of Wyoming are participants of this plan unless the employer elects not to be covered under the plan. This Act requires the City to obtain liability coverage for payment of benefits to employees for job-related injuries and diseases through the Worker’s Compensation Fund. This Act provides general protection from suits filed by employees against the City. The City makes quarterly payments to the Department of Employment, State of Wyoming. 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City entered into various related party transactions with K&R Construction, LLC in the amount of $367,521.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’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 City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 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. 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. ---PAGE BREAK--- 58 Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’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 financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Layton, Utah December 20, 2024
