Executive Summary
The Borough of Englishtown's audit document for the year ending December 31, 2022, includes an independent auditor's report and financial statements for various funds and account groups. The audit expresses an unmodified opinion on the regulatory basis of accounting, stating the financial statements fairly present the Borough's financial position and results of operations in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. However, an adverse opinion is given regarding U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) due to the significant differences between the regulatory basis and GAAP.
The document encompasses financial statements for the Current Fund, Trust Fund, General Capital Fund, Water Utility Fund, Sewer Utility Fund, Solid Waste Utility Fund, Payroll Fund, and the General Fixed Assets Account Group. It also includes supplemental exhibits detailing schedules of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenditures, and fund balances. The auditor's report on internal control over financial reporting and compliance found no material weaknesses or instances of noncompliance. The document concludes with a letter of comments and recommendations regarding contracts, delinquent taxes, and an expression of appreciation for the assistance provided during the audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTS
AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Borough Council
Borough of Englishtown
Englishtown, New Jersey 07726
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the various funds and account group of the Borough of Englishtown,
which comprise the statements of assets, liabilities, reserves and fund balance – regulatory basis as of December 31, 2022 and
2021, and the related statements of operations and changes in fund balance – regulatory basis for the years then ended and the
statements of revenues – regulatory basis and statements of expenditures – regulatory basis for the year ended December 31,
2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
Unmodified Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities, reserves
and fund balance – regulatory basis of the Borough of Englishtown, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its
operations and changes in fund balance – regulatory basis for the years then ended and the statements of revenues – regulatory
basis, statements of expenditures – regulatory basis for the year ended December 31, 2022, in accordance with the financial
reporting provisions of the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey
as described in Note 1.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Borough of Englishtown,
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the years then ended.
Basis for Opinions
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; and in compliance with audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services,
Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. 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 Borough of Englishtown 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.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 1 of the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Borough of Englishtown, on
the basis of the financial reporting provisions of the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs,
State of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, to meet the requirements of the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of
New Jersey. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory 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 and pervasive.
1
Responsibilities of Management 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 the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New
Jersey. 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 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 opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and audit requirements prescribed by the Division
of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate,
they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and audit
requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New
Jersey, we:
x
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
x
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.
x
Obtain an understanding of internal control(s) 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 Borough
of Englishtown's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
x
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.
x
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial
doubt about the Borough of Englishtown'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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Borough
of Englishtown’s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental schedules presented for the various funds and
letter of comments and recommendations section are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Division
of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey and are not a required part of the basic
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 basic financial statements. The 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 information is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the financial statements of each of the respective individual funds and account group taken as a whole.
2
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 31, 2023, on our consideration
of the Borough of Englishtown’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and
not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Borough of Englishtown’s internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the Borough of Englishtown’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

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
Honorable Mayor and Members
Of the Borough Council
Borough of Englishtown
Englishtown, New Jersey 07726
We have audited, in accordance with the 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 and audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local
Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, the financial statements –
regulatory basis of the Borough of Englishtown, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Borough’s basic financial statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated July 31, 2023. Our report indicated that the Borough’s financial statements were
not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America but
rather prepared in accordance with the regulatory basis of accounting prescribed by the Division of Local
Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting
other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to meet the requirements of the State of
New Jersey for municipal government entities as described in Note 1.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Borough of Englishtown’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Borough of Englishtown’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Borough of Englishtown’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 or significant deficiencies may
exist that were not identified.
5
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Borough of Englishtown’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 and audit
requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs,
State of New Jersey.
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 and audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of
Community Affairs, State of New Jersey in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Financial Reporting Entity
The Borough of Englishtown, County of Monmouth, New Jersey (“Borough”) operates under the Borough
form of New Jersey municipal government, and is governed by a mayor and a 6-member Borough Council.
The financial statements of the Borough include every board, body, officer or commission maintained
wholly or in part by funds appropriated by the Borough, as required by the provision of N.J.S. 40A:5-5.
Component Units - GASB Statement 14, as amended by GASB Statements 39, 61, 80, 90, and 97
establishes criteria to be used in determining the component units, which should be included in the financial
statements of a primary government. The financial statements of the Borough are not presented in
accordance with GAAP (as discussed below). Therefore, the Borough had no component units as defined
by GASB Statement No. 14, as amended by GASB Statements 39, 61, 80, 90, and 97.
Basis of Accounting, Measurement Focus and Basis of Presentation - The financial statements of the
Borough of Englishtown contain all funds and account groups in accordance with the “Requirements of
Audit” as promulgated by the State of New Jersey, Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local
Government Services. The principles and practices established by the Requirements of Audit are designed
primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of
reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Generally, the financial
statements are presented using the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and modified
accrual basis of accounting with minor exceptions as mandated by these “Requirements”. In addition, the
prescribed accounting principles previously referred to differ in certain respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United State of America applicable to local government units. The more
significant differences are explained in this Note.
In accordance with the “Requirements”, the Borough of Englishtown accounts for its financial transactions
through the use of separate funds, which are described as follows:
Current Fund – the Current Fund accounts for resources and expenditures for governmental
operations of a general nature, including Federal and State grant funds.
Trust Fund – the various Trust Funds account for receipts, custodianship and disbursement of
funds in accordance with the purpose for which each reserve was created.
General Capital Fund – the General Capital Fund accounts for receipt and disbursement of funds
for the acquisition of general capital facilities, other than those acquired in the Current Fund.
Water/Sewer Utility Operating and Capital Funds - are used to account for water/sewer operations
that are financed through user fees. The funds are operated on a basis similar to private business
enterprises where the intent is that the costs of providing the water/sewer utility to the general public
be financed through user fees. Operations relating to the acquisition of water/sewer capital facilities
are recorded within the Water/Sewer Utility Capital Fund.
Solid Waste Utility Operating Fund – established in 2022, are used to account for solid waste
operations that are financed through user fees. The funds are operated on a basis similar to private
business enterprises where the intent is that the costs of providing the solid waste utility to the general
public be financed through user fees.

BOROUGH OF ENGLISHTOWN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
General Fixed Asset Account Group – The Fixed Asset Account Group of accounts is utilized to
account for property, land, buildings, and equipment that have been acquired by other funds of the
Borough.
Payroll Fund - is used to account for the payroll activity of all of the funds and the disbursement of
payroll withholdings to the various cognizant agencies.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The Borough of Englishtown must adopt an annual budget for its
Current Fund in accordance with N.J.S.A.40A:4 et seq. N.J.S.A.40A:4-5 requires the governing body to
introduce and approve the annual municipal budget no later than February 10th of each year. At
introduction, the governing body must fix the time and place for a public hearing on the budget and must
advertise the time and place at least ten days prior to the hearing in a newspaper published and circulating
in the municipality. The public hearing must not be held less than twenty-eight days after the date the
budget was introduced. After the hearing has been held, the governing body may, by majority vote, adopt
the budget or may amend the budget in accordance with N.J.S.A.40A:4-9. Amendments to adopted budgets,
if any are detailed in the statements of revenues and expenditures.
An extension of the statutory dates for introduction, approval and adoption of the municipal budget may be
granted by the Director of Local Government Services, with the permission of the Local Finance Board.
Budgets are adopted on the same basis of accounting utilized for the preparation of the Borough’s financial
statements. Once a budget is approved it may be amended after November 1, by a resolution adopted by
the governing body.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments - Cash and Cash equivalents include petty cash, change funds
and cash on deposit with public depositories. All certificates of deposit are recorded as cash regardless of
the date of maturity. Investments are stated at cost. Consequently, unrealized gain or loss on investments
has not been recorded in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31.
New Jersey municipal units are required by N.J.S.A.40A:5-14 to deposit public funds in a bank or trust
company having its place of business in the State of New Jersey and organized under the laws of the United
States or of the State of New Jersey or in the New Jersey Cash Management Fund. N.J.S.A.40A:5-15.1
provides a list of investments, which may be purchased by New Jersey municipal units. In addition, other
State statutes permit investments in obligations issued by local utilities and other state agencies.
N.J.S.A.17:9-41 et seq. establishes the requirements for the security of deposits of governmental units. The
statute requires that no governmental unit shall deposit public funds in a public depository unless such funds
are secured in accordance with the Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act, which was enacted in 1970
to protect governmental units from a loss of funds on deposit with a failed banking institution in New Jersey.
Public depositories include State or federally chartered banks savings banks or associations located in or
having a branch office in the State of New Jersey, the deposits of which are federally insured. All public
depositories must pledge collateral, having a market value at least equal to
46
BOROUGH OF ENGLISHTOWN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
five percent of the average daily balance of collected public funds, to secure the deposits of Governmental
Units. If a public depository fails, the collateral it has pledged, plus the collateral of all other public
depositories, is available to pay the amount of their deposits to the Governmental Units. The cash
management plan adopted by the Borough of Englishtown requires it to deposit funds in public depositories
protected from loss under the provisions of the Act.
Interfunds - Interfund receivables and payables that arise from transactions between funds are recorded by
all funds affected by such transactions in the period in which the transaction is executed. Interfund
receivables in the Current Fund are recorded with offsetting reserves, which are created by charges to
operations. Income is recognized in the year the receivables are liquidated. Interfund receivables in the
other funds are not offset by reserves.
Inventories and Supplies - The cost of inventories of supplies for all funds are recorded as expenditures
at the time individual items are purchased. The costs of inventories are not included on the various balance
sheets of assets, liabilities, reserves and fund balance.
General Fixed Assets – Accounting for governmental fixed assets, as required by N.J.A.C.5:30-5.6, differs
in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with the regulations, all local units, including municipalities, must maintain a general fixed
assets reporting system that establishes and maintains a physical inventory of nonexpendable, tangible
property as defined and limited by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87 (Attachment
B, Section 19), except that the useful life of such property is at least five years. The Borough has adopted
a capitalization threshold of $2,000.00. Generally, assets are valued at historical cost; however, assets
acquired prior to December 31, 1985 are valued at actual historical cost or estimated historical cost. In some
instances, assets are valued at the assessed valuation of the property at the time of acquisition, which
approximates fair value. No depreciation of general fixed assets is recorded. Donated general fixed assets
are recorded at their acquisition value as of the date of the transaction. Interest costs relative to the
acquisition of general fixed assets are recorded as expenditures when paid. Public domain ("infrastructure")
general fixed assets consisting of certain improvements such as roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets
and sidewalks and drainage systems are not capitalized. Expenditures for construction in progress are
recorded in the capital funds until such time as the construction is completed and put into operation. The
Borough is required to maintain a subsidiary ledger detailing fixed assets records to control additions,
retirements, and transfers of fixed assets. In addition, a statement of general fixed assets, reflecting the
activity for the year, must be included in the Borough's basic financial statements.
The regulations require that general fixed assets, whether constructed or acquired through purchase, grant
or gift be included in the aforementioned inventory. In addition, property management standards must be
maintained that includes accurate records indicating asset description, source, ownership, acquisition cost
and date, the percentage of federal participation (if any), and the location, use, and condition of the asset.
Periodically, physical inventories must be taken and reconciled with these records. All fixed assets must
be adequately controlled to safeguard against loss, damage, or theft.
Utility Fixed Assets – Property and equipment purchases by a utility fund are recorded in the utility capital
account at cost and are adjusted for disposition. The amounts shown do not represent replacement cost or
current value. The reserve for amortization and deferred reserve for amortization in the utility capital fund
represent the cost of the utility fixed assets reduced by the outstanding balances of bonds,
47
BOROUGH OF ENGLISHTOWN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
loans, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of
those assets.
Foreclosed property – Foreclosed Property or “Property Acquired for Taxes” is recorded in the Current
Fund at the assessed valuation when such property was acquired and is fully reserved. Ordinarily it is the
intention of the Borough to resell foreclosed property in order to recover all or a portion of the delinquent
taxes or assessments and to return the property to a taxpaying basis. For this reason the value of foreclosed
property has not been included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. If such property is converted
to a municipal use, it will be recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group
Deferred Charges – The recognition of certain expenditures is deferred to future periods. These
expenditures or deferred charges are generally overexpenditures of legally adopted budget appropriations
or emergency appropriations made in accordance with N.J.S.A.40A:4-46 et seq. Deferred charges are
subsequently raised as items of appropriation in budgets of succeeding years.
Fund Balance – Fund Balance included in the Current Fund and Utility Operating Fund represent the
amount available for anticipation as revenue in future year’s budgets, with certain restrictions.
Revenues – are recorded when received in cash except for certain amounts, which are due from other
governmental units. Revenue from Federal and State grants are realized when anticipated as such in the
Borough’s budget. Receivables for property taxes are recorded with offsetting reserves on the statement of
assets, liabilities, reserves and fund balance of the Borough’s Current Fund; accordingly, such amounts are
not recorded as revenue until collected. Other amounts that are due the Borough, which are susceptible to
accrual are also recorded as receivables with offsetting reserves and recorded as revenues when received.
Utility Revenues – Utility charges are levied quarterly based upon a flat service charge and if applicable,
an excess consumption or usage charge. Revenues from these sources are recognized on a cash basis.
Receivables that are susceptible to accrual are recorded with offsetting reserves on the balance sheet of the
Boroughs utility operating fund.
Property Tax Revenues – are collected in quarterly installments due February 1, May 1, August 1 and
November 1. The amount of tax levied includes not only the amount required in support of the Borough’s
annual budget, but also the amounts required in support of the budgets of the County of Monmouth,
Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District, Freehold Regional High School District and
Englishtown Fire District #1. Unpaid property taxes are subject to tax sale in accordance with statutes.
County Taxes – The municipality is responsible for levying, collecting and remitting County taxes for the
County of Monmouth. Operations are charged for the amount due the County for the year, based upon the
ratables required to be certified to the County Board of Taxation by May 5th of the current year. In addition,
operations is charged for the County share of Added and Omitted Taxes certified to the County Board of
Taxation by October 10th of the current year and due to be paid to the County by February 15th of the
following year.

BOROUGH OF ENGLISHTOWN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
School Taxes – The municipality is responsible for levying, collecting and remitting school taxes for the
Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District and its share of the Freehold Regional School District.
Operations are charged for the full amount required to be raised from taxation to operate the local and
regional school district July 1 to June 30.
Deferred School Taxes – School taxes raised in advance in the Current Fund for a school fiscal year (July
1 to June 30) which remain unpaid at December 31 of the calendar year levied may be deferred to
fund balance to the extent of not more than 50% of the annual levy providing no requisition has been made
by the school district for such amount.
Reserve for Uncollected Taxes – The inclusion of the “Reserve for Uncollected Taxes” appropriation in
the Borough’s annual budget protects the Borough from taxes not paid currently. The Reserve, the
minimum amount of which is determined on the percentage of collections experienced in the immediate
preceding year, with certain exceptions, is required to provide assurance that cash collected in the current
year will provide sufficient cash flow to meet expected obligations.
Expenditures – are recorded on the “budgetary” basis of accounting. Generally, expenditures are recorded
when an amount is encumbered through the issuance of a numerically controlled purchase order or when a
contract is executed as required by Technical Accounting Directive No. 85-1. When an expenditure is paid,
the amount encumbered is simultaneously liquidated in its original amount. Encumbrances are offset by
an account entitled reserve for encumbrances. The reserve is classified as a cash liability under New Jersey
municipal accounting. At December 31, this reserve represents the portion of appropriation reserves that
has been encumbered and is subject to the same statutory provisions as appropriation reserves.
Appropriations for interest payments on outstanding general capital bonds and notes are provided on the
cash basis. Appropriations for interest payments on outstanding utility capital bonds and notes are provided
on the accrual basis.
Appropriation Reserves – Appropriation reserves covering unexpended appropriation balances are
automatically created at year-end and recorded as liabilities, except for amounts, which may be cancelled
by the governing body. Appropriation reserves and reserve for encumbrances at current year end are
available until December 31st of the succeeding year to meet specific claims, commitments or contracts
incurred during the preceding year. Any unspent balances at this time are lapsed appropriation reserves
and recorded as income.
Long-Term Debt - Long-Term Debt relative to the acquisition of capital assets, is recorded as a liability
in the General and Utility Capital Fund. Where an improvement is a “local improvement”, i.e. assessable
upon completion, long-term debt associated with that portion of the cost of the improvement to be funded
by assessments is transferred to the Trust Fund upon the confirmation of the assessments or when the
improvement is fully and permanently funded.
Compensated Absences – Expenditures relating to obligations for unused vested accumulated vacation
and sick leave are not recorded until paid; however, municipalities may establish and budget reserve funds
subject to NJSA 40A:4-39 for the future payment of compensated absences.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the
accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
GASB adopts accounting statements to be used by governmental units when reporting financial position
and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP). The municipalities in the State of New Jersey do not prepare their financial statements
in accordance with GAAP and thus do not comply with all of the GASB pronouncements.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Current Year
The following GASB Statements became effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:
x
Statement No. 87, Leases.
x
Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates.
x
Statement No. 97, Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans – an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 84 and a supersession of GASB Statement No. 32. Requirements of this
pronouncement related to paragraphs 4 and 5 were implemented in the prior year.
Management has determined that the implementation of these Statements did not have a significant impact
on the Borough’s financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Reporting Periods
The following accounting pronouncements will become effective in future reporting periods:
x
Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements. The requirements
of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022.
x
Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 62. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2023.
x
Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The requirements of this Statement are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.
Management has not yet determined the potential impact these Statements will have on the Borough’s
financial statements.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
The Borough is governed by the deposit and investment limitations of New Jersey state law.
Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, the Borough’s deposits may not be
returned. Although the Borough does not have a formal policy regarding custodial credit risk, NJSA 17:9-
41 et seq. requires that the governmental units shall deposit public funds in public depositories protected
from loss under the provisions of the Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act (GUDPA).

insured depository is protected by FDIC. Public funds owned by the Borough in excess of FDIC insured
amounts are protected by GUDPA. However, GUDPA does not protect intermingled trust funds such as
salary withholdings, bail funds or funds that may pass to the Borough relative to the happening of a future
condition. Such funds are shown as Uninsured and Uncollateralized in the schedule below.

funds on behalf of other funds. All interfund balances are expected to be repaid within one year.
The summary of interfund transfers follows:
Transfers are used to (1) move revenues from the fund that statute or budget requires to collect them to the
fund that statute or budget requires to expend them (i.e. interest earning), (2) provide cash flow to other
funds to temporary finance expenditures that are on a reimbursable basis (i.e. grants), (3) when no bank
account exists for a fund, and (4) utilizing surplus or fund balance from one fund as budgeted revenue in
another.

Basis of Presentation - The schedules of employer and nonemployer allocations and the schedules of
pension amounts by employer and nonemployer (collectively, the Schedules) present amounts that are
considered elements of the financial statements of PERS or its participating employers. Accordingly, they
do not purport to be a complete presentation of the financial position or changes in financial position of
PERS or the participating employers. The accompanying Schedules were prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Such preparation requires management of PERS to make a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts. Due to the inherent nature of these
estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Contributions - The contribution policy for PERS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and requires contributions by
active members and contributing employers. State legislation has modified the amount that is contributed
by the State. The State's pension contribution is based on an actuarially determined amount, which includes
the employer portion of the normal cost and an amortization of the unfunded accrued liability. Funding for
noncontributory group insurance benefits is based on actual claims paid. For the fiscal year 2022, the State's
pension contribution was less than the actuarial determined amount. The local employers' contribution
amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate, which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued
liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provided an option for local employers of PERS to contribute 50% of the
normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such
employers will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their
unfunded liability. The actuaries will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by
employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded
liability will be paid by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years beginning with the
payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and will be adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial
value of assets. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Borough’s contractually required contribution
to PERS plan was $44,049.
Components of Net Pension Liability - At December 31, 2022, the Borough’s proportionate share of the
PERS net pension liability was $527,149. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022. The
total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined using update procedures to
roll forward the total pension liability from an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2021, which was rolled
forward to June 30, 2022. The Borough’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the Borough’s
actual contributions to the plan relative to the total of all participating employers’ contributions for the year
ended June 30, 2022. The Borough’s proportion measured as of June 30, 2022, was 0.003493047% which
was a decrease of 0.000752646% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2021.

The following is a summary of the deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related
to PERS that will be recognized in future periods:
Special Funding Situation – Under N.J.S.A. 43:15A-15, local participating employers are responsible for
their own contributions based on actuarially determined amounts, except where legislation was passed
which legally obligated the State if certain circumstances occurred. The legislation which legally obligates
the State, are Chapter 366, P.L. 2001 and Chapter 133, P.L. 2001.
The amounts contributed on behalf of the local participating employers under this legislation is considered
to be a special funding situation as defined by GASB Statement No. 68 and the State is treated as a non-
employer contributing entity. Since the local participating employers do not contribute under this legislation
directly to the plan (except for employer specific financed amounts), there is no net pension liability to
report in the financial statements of the local participating employers related to this legislation. At
December 31, 2022, the State’s proportionate share of the PERS expense, associated with the Borough of
Englishtown, calculated by the plan as of the June 30, 2022 measurement date was $1,109.
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension asset/(liability) as of the measurement date was determined by
using an actuarial valuation as noted in the table below, with update procedures used to roll forward the
total pension liability to the measurement date. The actuarial valuations used the following actuarial
assumptions:

Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the Pub-2010 General Below-Median Income Employee
Mortality Table with an 82.2% adjustment for males and 101.4% adjustment for females, and with future
improvement from the base year of 2010 on a generational basis. Post-retirement mortality rates were based
on the Pub-2010 General Below-Median Income Healthy Retiree mortality table with a 91.4% adjustment
for males and 99.7% adjustment for females, and with future improvement from the base year of 2010 on
a generational basis. Disability retirement rates used to value disabled retirees were based on the Pub-2010
Non-Safety Disabled Retiree mortality table with a 127.7% adjustment for males and 117.2% adjustment
for females, and with future improvement from the base year of 2010 on a generational basis. Mortality
improvement is based on Scale MP-2021.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2021 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2021. It is likely that future experience will not
exactly conform to these assumptions. To the extent that actual experience deviates from these assumptions,
the emerging liabilities may be higher or lower than anticipated. The more the experience deviates, the
larger the impact on future financial statements.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return - In accordance with State statute, the long-term expected rate of
return on plan investments (7.00% at June 30, 2022) is determined by the State Treasurer, after consultation
with the Directors of the Division of Investments and Division of Pensions and Benefits, the board of
trustees and the actuaries. The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of

arithmetic rates of return for each major asset class included in PERS’s target asset allocation as of June
30, 2022 are summarized in the following table:
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.00% as of June 30,
2022. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from
plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers
and the nonemployer contributing entity will be based on 78% of the actuarially determined contributions
for the State employer and 100% of actuarially determined contributions for the local employers. Based on
those assumptions, the plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future
benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan
investments was applied to all projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the Borough’s proportionate share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the
Discount Rate - The following presents the Borough’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
calculated using the discount rate as disclosed above, as well as what the Borough’s proportionate share of

Contributions - The contribution policy for PFRS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:16A and requires contributions by
active members and contributing employers. State legislation has modified the amount that is contributed
by the State. The State's contribution amount is based on an actuarially determined rate which includes the
normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. For fiscal year 2021, the State contributed an amount less than
the actuarially determined amount. The Local employers’ contribution amounts are based on an actuarially
determined rate which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009
provided an option for local employers of PFRS to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability
contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such employers will be credited
with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries
will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal and
accrued liability contributions provided under this law.
This unfunded liability will be paid by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years

Special Funding Situation – Under N.J.S.A. 43:16A-15, local participating employers are responsible for
their own contributions based on actuarially determined amounts, except where legislation was passed
which legally obligated the State if certain circumstances occurred. The legislation which legally obligates
the state is as follows: Chapter 8, P.L. 2000, Chapter 318, P.L. 2001, Chapter 86, P.L. 2001, Chapter 511,
P.L, 1991, Chapter 109, P.L. 1979, Chapter 247, P.L. 1993 and Chapter 201, P.L. 2001.
The amounts contributed on behalf of the local participating employers under this legislation is
considered to be a special funding situation as defined by GASB Statement No. 68 and the State is treated
as a non-employer contributing entity. Since the local participating employers do not contribute under this
legislation directly to the plan (except for employer specific financed amounts), there is no net pension
liability to report in the financial statements of the local participating employers related to this legislation.
Additionally, the State’s proportionate share of the PFRS net pension liability attributable to the Borough
is $290,149 as of December 31, 2021. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2021. The total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined using update procedures to roll
forward the total pension liability from an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2020, to the measurement date

adjustment for males and 102.5% adjustment for females, and with future improvement from the base year
of 2010 on a generational basis. For healthy annuitants, post-retirement mortality rates were based on the
Pub-2010 Safety Retiree Below-Median Income Weighted mortality table with a 96.7% adjustment for
males and 96.0% adjustment for females, and with future improvement from the base year of 2010 on a
generational basis. For beneficiaries, the Pub-2010 General Retiree Below-Median Income Weighted
mortality table was used, unadjusted, and with future improvement from the base year of 2010 on a
generational basis. Disability rates were based on the Pub-2010 Safety Disabled Retiree mortality table with
a 152.0% adjustment for males and 109.3% adjustment for females, and with future improvement from the
base year of 2010 on a generational basis. Mortality improvement is based on Scale MP-2021.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2018.

General Information about the OPEB Plan
The State Health Benefit Local Government Retired Employees Plan (the Plan) is a cost-sharing multiple-
employer defined benefit other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan with a special funding situation. It
covers employees of local government employers that have adopted a resolution to participate in the Plan.
For additional information about the Plan, please refer to the State of New Jersey (the State), Division of
Pensions and Benefits’ (the Division) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which can be
found at https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/pensions/financial-reports.shtml.
The Plan provides medical and prescription drug to retirees and their covered dependents of the
participating employers. Under the provisions of Chapter 88, P.L 1974 and Chapter 48, P.L. 1999, local
government employers electing to provide postretirement medical coverage to their employees must file a
resolution with the Division. Under Chapter 88, local employers elect to provide benefit coverage based on
the eligibility rules and regulations promulgated by the State Health Benefits Commission. Chapter 48
allows local employers to establish their own age and service eligibility for employer paid health benefits
coverage for retired employees. Under Chapter 48, the employer may assume the cost of postretirement
medical coverage for employees and their dependents who: 1) retired on a disability pension; or 2) retired
with 25 or more years of service credit in a State or locally administered retirement system and a period of
service of up to 25 years with the employer at the time of retirement as established by the employer; or 3)
retired and reached the age of 65 with 25 or more years of service credit in a State or locally

retirement as established by the employer; or 4) retired and reached age 62 with at least 15 years of service
with the employer. Further, the law provides that the employer paid obligations for retiree coverage may
be determined by means of a collective negotiations agreement.
In accordance with Chapter 330, P.L. 1997, which is codified in N.J.S.A 52:14-17.32i, the State provides
medical and prescription coverage to local police officers and firefighters, who retire with 25 years of
service or on a disability from an employer who does not provide postretirement medical coverage. Local
employers were required to file a resolution with the Division in order for their employees to qualify for
State-paid retiree health benefits coverage under Chapter 330. The State also provides funding for retiree
health benefits to survivors of local police officers and firefighters who die in the line of duty under Chapter
271, P.L.1989.
Pursuant to Chapter 78, P.L, 2011, future retirees eligible for postretirement medical coverage who have
less than 20 years of creditable service on June 28, 2011 will be required to pay a percentage of the cost of
their health care coverage in retirement provided they retire with 25 or more years of pension service credit.
The percentage of the premium for which the retiree will be responsible will be determined based on the
retiree’s annual retirement benefit and level of coverage.

The schedule of employer and nonemployer allocations and the schedule of OPEB amounts by employer
and nonemployer (collectively, the Schedules) present amounts that are considered elements of the financial

they do not purport to be a complete presentation of the financial position or changes in financial position
of the participating employers or the State. The accompanying Schedules were prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such preparation requires management of the Plan to make
a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts. Due to the inherent nature of these
estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allocation Methodology
GASB Statement No. 75 requires participating employers in the Plan to recognize their proportionate share
of the collective net OPEB liability, collective deferred outflows of resources, collective deferred inflows
of resources, and collective OPEB (benefit) expense. The special funding situation’s and nonspecial funding
situation’s net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and OPEB
(benefit) expense are based on separately calculated total OPEB liabilities. For the special funding situation
and the nonspecial funding situation, the total OPEB liabilities for the year ended June 30, 2021 were
$3,872,142,278 and $14,177,910,609, respectively. The nonspecial funding situation’s net OPEB liability,
deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and OPEB (benefit) expense are further
allocated to employers based on the ratio of the plan members of an individual employer to the total
members of the Plan’s nonspecial funding situation during the measurement period July 1, 2020 through
June 30, 2021. Employer and nonemployer allocation percentages have been rounded for presentation
purposes; therefore, amounts presented in the schedule of OPEB amounts by employer and nonemployer
may result in immaterial differences.

Note 11. Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (continued):
Special Funding Situation
Under Chapter 330, P.L. 1997, the State shall pay the premium or periodic charges for the qualified local
police and firefighter retirees and dependents equal to 80 percent of the premium or periodic charge for the
category of coverage elected by the qualified retiree under the State managed care plan or a health
maintenance organization participating in the program providing the lowest premium or periodic charge.
The State also provides funding for retiree health benefits to survivors of local police officers and
firefighters who die in the line of duty under Chapter 271, P.L.1989.
Therefore, these employers are considered to be in a special funding situation as defined by GASB
Statement No. 75 and the State is treated as a nonemployer contributing entity. Since the local participating
employers do not contribute under this legislation directly to the plan, there is no net OPEB liability,
deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources to report in the financial statements of the
local participating employers related to this legislation. However, the notes to the financial statements of
the local participating employers must disclose the portion of the nonemployer contributing entities’ total
proportionate share of the collective net OPEB liability that is associated with the local participating
employer.
The participating employer allocations included in the supplemental schedule of employer special funding
allocations and the supplemental schedule of special funding amounts by employer for each employer are
provided as each employer is required to record in their financial statements, as an expense and
corresponding revenue, their proportionate share of the OPEB expense allocated to the State of New Jersey
under the special funding situation and include their proportionate share of the collective net OPEB liability
in their respective notes to their financial statements. For this purpose, the proportionate share was
developed based on eligible plan members subject to the special funding situation. This data takes into
account active members from both participating and non-participating employer locations and retired
members currently receiving OPEB benefits.
Additionally, the State’s proportionate share of the OPEB liability attributable to the Borough is
$1,901,101.00 as of December 31, 2022. The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2021. The total
OPEB liability used to calculate the OPEB liability was determined using update procedures to roll forward
the total OPEB liability from an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2020, to the measurement date of June 30,
2021. The State’s proportion of the OPEB liability associated with the Borough was based on a projection
of the Borough’s long-term share of contributions to the OPEB plan relative to the projected contributions
of all participating members, actuarially determined. The State’s proportion measured as of June 30, 2021
was 00492340015%, which was an increase of 0.0080720054% from its proportion measured as of June
30, 2020, which is the same proportion as the Borough’s. At December 31, 2021, the Borough’s and the
State of New Jersey’s proportionate share of the OPEB liability were as follows:
At December 31, 2021, the State’s proportionate share of the OPEB expense, associated with the Borough,
calculated by the plan as of the June 30, 2021 measurement date was $(259,412).

Note 17. Unemployment Compensation Insurance
The Borough has elected to fund its New Jersey Unemployment Compensation Insurance under the
“Reimbursement Method”. Under this plan, the Borough is required to reimburse the New Jersey
Unemployment Trust Fund, dollar-for-dollar, for unemployment benefits paid to its former employees who
were laid off or furloughed and charged to its account with the State. The Borough is billed quarterly for
amounts due to the State. The following is a summary of Borough contributions, reimbursements to the
State for benefits paid and the ending balance of the Borough’s trust fund for the current and previous two
years:
Note 18. Contingencies
Grantor Agencies
The Borough receives financial assistance from the State of New Jersey and the U.S. government in the
form of grants. Entitlement to the funds is generally conditional upon compliance with terms and conditions
of the grant agreements and applicable regulations, including the expenditure of the funds for eligible
purposes. Substantially all grants, entitlements and cost reimbursements are subject to financial and
compliance audits by grantors. As a result of these audits, costs previously reimbursed could be disallowed
and require repayment to the grantor agency. As of December 31, 2022 the Borough estimates that no
material liabilities will result from such audits.
Litigation
The Borough is a defendant in several legal proceedings that are in various stages of litigation. It is believed
that the outcome, or exposure to the Borough, from such litigation is either unknown or potential losses, if
any, would not be material to the financial statements.
Tax Appeals
Losses arising from tax appeals are recognized at the time a decision is rendered by an administrative or
judicial body; however, municipalities may establish reserves transferred from tax collections or by budget
appropriation for future payments of tax appeal losses. There are no significant pending tax appeals as of
December 31, 2022.

In accordance with requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department
of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, the following are the General Comments and
Recommendations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Contracts and Agreements required to be advertised by (N.J.S.A.40A:11-4)
N.J.S.A.40A:11-4 states every contract or agreement, for the performance of any work or furnishing or
hiring of any materials or supplies, the cost or the contract price whereof is to be paid with or out of
public funds not included within the terms of Section 3 of this act, shall be made or awarded only by the
Governing Body of the contracting unit after public advertising for bids and bidding therefore, except as
is provided otherwise in this act or specifically by any other Law. No work, materials or supplies shall be
undertaken, acquired or furnished for a sum exceeding in the aggregate the bid threshold, except by
contract or agreement.
The bid threshold in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:11-4 was $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
It is pointed out that the governing body of the municipality has the responsibility of determining whether
the expenditures in any category will exceed the statutory minimum within the fiscal year. Where
question arises as to whether any contract or agreement might result in violation of the statute, the
solicitor's opinion should be sought before a commitment is made.
Inasmuch as the system of records did not provide for an accumulation of payments for categories for the
performance of any work or the furnishing or hiring of any materials or supplies, the results of such an
accumulation could not reasonably be ascertained. Disbursements were reviewed, however, to determine
whether any clear-cut violations existed.
Our examination of expenditures did not reveal any individual payments or contracts in excess of the bid
threshold “for the performance of any work, or the furnishing of any materials, supplies or labor” other
than those where bids had been previously sought by public advertisement or where a resolution had been
previously adopted under the provisions of N.J.S.A.40A:11-6.
193
Collection of Interest on Delinquent Taxes and Assessments
N.J.S.54:4-67, provides the method for authorizing interest and the maximum rates to be charged for the
nonpayment of taxes or assessments on or before the date when they would become delinquent.
The governing body on January 3, 2022 adopted the following resolution authorizing interest to be
charged on delinquent taxes:
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that if said taxes are deemed to be delinquent for non-
payment of taxes, the Tax Collector shall charge eight (8%) percent per annum on the first
$1,500.00 of the delinquency, and eighteen (18%) percent per annum on any amount in excess of
$1,500.00; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Borough Council of the Borough of Englishtown, that the
Tax Collector shall allow that no interest will be charged on payments received and made by the
tenth calendar day following the date upon which the same became payable; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Borough Council of the Borough of Englishtown, that the
Tax Collector shall charge, in addition to the interest for delinquent taxes, as noted above, a
penalty of six (6%) percent of the amount of the delinquency in taxes in excess of $10,000.00 to a
taxpayer who fails to pay the delinquency prior to the end of the calendar year.
It appears from an examination of the Collector's record that interest was collected in accordance with the
foregoing resolution.
OTHER COMMENTS (FINDINGS):
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
None.
