Finding Caption:
The City lacked the internal controls to ensure compliance with Hazard Mitigation Grant
program period of availability requirements.
Background: The City of Port Townsend received approximately $2,517,364 in federal grant funds in 2012,
and the City spent $1,568,176 of that money on the Hazard Mitigation Grant program. The
program objective is to implement mitigation planning and hazard mitigation measures that are
cost effective and which substantially reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, loss or suffering in any area affected by a major disaster.

The City has evaluated its internal control requirements with regard to the availability period.
Staff involved with grant activity is now fully aware of the compliance requirements
surrounding the availability period. Should it ever be necessary for the City to submit
paperwork or documentation beyond the 90 day funding period, City staff will request an
extension to the deadline in writing, regardless of whether the funding entity requires a formal
deadline request.

Status of Prior Audit Findings
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013
The status of findings contained in the prior years’ audit reports of the City of Port Townsend is
provided below:
1. The City should improve its internal controls over federal grant reporting to ensure complete audit coverage of its federal grants.
Report No. 1010618, dated September 30, 2013
Background
City personnel responsible for preparation and review of the Schedule of Expenditure of
Federal Awards (SEFA) did not have an accurate understanding of the OMB Circular
A-133 and the State Auditor’s Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS)
manual reporting requirements.
The City lacked good communication with staff responsible for the SEFA preparation
regarding federal awards and amendments. The City had obtained a grant amendment
dated January 12, 2012 that allowed additional pre-award costs from 2010 and 2011.
This was not communicated to staff responsible for preparing the 2012 SEFA.
The City had not designed internal controls, such as providing training for staff, adequate
oversight and sufficient communication of changes to grant awards, to ensure accurate,
complete and timely financial reporting.
Status
The condition reported during the 2012 audit has been resolved. Management took steps
to strengthen internal controls regarding the preparation of the SEFA by providing
additional training to relevant staff and implementing additional oversight, which
includes a first draft review by project managers who are primary contacts of any award
changes.

Independent Auditor’s 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
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013
Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the
City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated August 19,
2014.
We issued an unmodified opinion on the fair presentation of the City’s financial statements in
accordance with its regulatory basis of accounting. We issued an adverse opinion on the fair
presentation with regard to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) because the financial statements are prepared by the City using accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by Washington State statutes and the State Auditor’s
Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual described in Note 1, which is a
basis of accounting other than GAAP. The effects on the financial statements of the variances
between the basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to
be material.
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 opinion 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.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 5
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 City'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.
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 the City’s compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
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 City’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 City’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. However,
this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to
disseminate information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government
operations.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each
Major Federal Program and on Internal Control over
Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013
Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM
We have audited the compliance of the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington,
with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2013. The City’s
major federal programs are identified in the accompanying Federal Summary.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts
and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and
OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.
Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City’s
compliance.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 7
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2013.
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City’s internal control over compliance
with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal
program in order to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to
test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control
over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the
requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It

Independent Auditor’s Report on Financial Statements
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013
Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson
County, Washington, for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s financial statements, as listed on
page 13.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of Washington State statutes and the
Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual prescribed by the State Auditor
described in Note 1. This includes determining that the basis of accounting is acceptable for the
presentation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is also responsible
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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 10
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Unmodified Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting (BARS Manual)
As described in Note 1, the City of Port Townsend has prepared these financial statements using
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by Washington State statutes and the State
Auditor’s Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual. Those accounting
practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP). The differences in these accounting practices are also described in Note 1.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and results of operations of the City of Port Townsend, for the year ended
December 31, 2013, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. GAAP
Auditing standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
require auditors to formally acknowledge when governments do not prepare their financial
statements, intended for general use, in accordance with GAAP. The effects on the financial
statements of the variances between GAAP and the accounting practices the City used, as
described in Note 1, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. As a
result, we are required to issue an adverse opinion on whether the financial statements are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. GAAP
The financial statements referred to above were not intended to, and in our opinion they do not,
present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, the financial position of the City of Port Townsend, as of December 31, 2013, or the
changes in financial position or cash flows for the year then ended, due to the significance of the
matter discussed in the above “Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. GAAP” paragraph.
Other Matters
Supplementary and Other Information
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular
A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. The accompanying
Schedule of Liabilities is also presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the
prescribed BARS manual. These schedules are not a required part of the financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 11
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
August 19, 2014 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 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 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.

City of Port Townsend
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Port Townsend reports financial activity using the revenue and expenditure
classifications, statements, and schedules contained in the Cash Basis Budgeting, Accounting
and Reporting System (BARS) manual. This basis of accounting and reporting is another comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA) that is prescribed by the State Auditor’s Office
under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09 RCW.
The City of Port Townsend was incorporated on January 16, 1860, and operates under the
laws of the State of Washington applicable to a non-charter code city. The city is a general purpose government and provides police and fire protection, water, sewer, storm drainage, as
well as maintaining parks, streets, and a library for use by its citizens.
The city uses single entry, cash basis accounting for its governmental and proprietary fund
types , which is a departure from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Prior to
2008, the proprietary (utility) funds were reported on accrual basis. Proprietary Funds are used to account for activities that are operated in a manner similar to private enterprise
business.
A. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the city are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of
which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a
separate set of single entry accounts that comprise its cash, investments, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.
The city's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on what they are to be spent for and how they are controlled. The following are the fund
types used by the city:
Governmental Fund Types.- are used to finance most governmental functions and
account for and report expendable financial resources and related obligations.
General Fund (Fund 010) (Current Expense Fund) This fund is the primary operating fund of the city. It accounts for all financial resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 20
Special Revenue Funds (Funds in the 100 series)
These funds account for revenues derived from specific taxes, grants, or other sources which are designed to finance particular activities of the city.
Debt Service Funds (Funds in the 200 series) These funds are used to gather resources to pay general government debt.
Capital Projects Funds (Funds in the 300 series) These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the
acquisition or construction of general government capital improvements.
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds (Funds in the 400 series)
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general
public and are supported primarily through user charges.
Internal Service Funds (Funds in the 500 series)
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other
departments or funds of the city or other governmental units on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Types - Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the city in a
trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf of others.
Refundable Deposits (601)
This fund accounts for deposits being held pending city criteria for builders
being fulfilled.
Pension (and Other Employee Benefit) Trust Funds (611-620)
Firemen’s Pension
Private Purpose Trust Funds (621-630)
Funds used to report all trust arrangements under which principal and income
benefit individual, private organization and other government.
Agency Funds (Funds 631-699)
This fund accounts for assets whereby the city acts as a pass through agent for
various government entities.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 21
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. Revenues are recognized only
when cash is received and expenditures are recognized when paid, including those
properly chargeable against the prior year(s) budget appropriations as required by
state law.
Purchases of capital assets are expensed during the year of acquisition. There is no
capitalization of capital assets, nor allocation of depreciation expense. Inventory is
expensed when purchased.
The basis of accounting described above represents a comprehensive basis of
accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
C. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds at the fund level.
The budgets constitute the legal authority for expenditures at that level. Annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at year end.
The city manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between (department
within and fund/object classes with departments); however, any revisions that alter
the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee
positions, salary ranges, hours, or other conditions of employment must be approved
by the city council.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 22
The appropriated and actual expenditures for the legally adopted budgets were as follows:
D. Assets, Liabilities and Equities Cash and Equivalents It is the city's policy to invest all temporary cash surpluses. The amounts are included in the net cash and investments shown on the statements of fund resources and uses arising from cash transactions. The interest on these investments is prorated to the various funds. The
city's deposits are entirely covered by federal depository insurance (FDIC and FSLIC) or by collateral held in a multiple financial institution collateral pool administered by the
Washington Public Deposit Protection Commission (PDPC).

The City of Port Townsend is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority
(WCIA). Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal
Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created
for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly
self-insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 162 members.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office 30
New members initially contract for a three year term, and thereafter automatically renew
on an annual basis. A one year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be
terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage
includes general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors and omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $4 million per occurrence self insured layer, $16 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the
purchase of reinsurance and insurance and is subject to aggregate limits.
Total limits are $20 million per occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity , inland marine, and
boiler and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of
coverage. Property insurance and auto physical damage coverage are self- funded up to $750,000, for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of insurance.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services,
claims and litigation administration, and loss analysis. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively
rated basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by
investment of WCIA’s assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines.
WCIA is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of one designated
representative from each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and
appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.

Washington State Auditor's Office 39
ABOUT THE STATE AUDITOR’S OFFICE
The State Auditor's Office is established in the state's Constitution and is part of the executive
branch of state government. The State Auditor is elected by the citizens of Washington and
serves four-year terms.
We work with our audit clients and citizens to achieve our vision of government that works for
citizens, by helping governments work better, cost less, deliver higher value, and earn greater
public trust.
In fulfilling our mission to hold state and local governments accountable for the use of public
resources, we also hold ourselves accountable by continually improving our audit quality and
operational efficiency and developing highly engaged and committed employees.
As an elected agency, the State Auditor's Office has the independence necessary to objectively
perform audits and investigations. Our audits are designed to comply with professional standards
as well as to satisfy the requirements of federal, state, and local laws.
Our audits look at financial information and compliance with state, federal and local laws on the
part of all local governments, including schools, and all state agencies, including institutions of
higher education. In addition, we conduct performance audits of state agencies and local
governments as well as fraud, state whistleblower and citizen hotline investigations.
The results of our work are widely distributed through a variety of reports, which are available
on our website and through our free, electronic subscription service.
We take our role as partners in accountability seriously, and provide training and technical
assistance to governments, and have an extensive quality assurance program.
