Independent Auditors’ Report The Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York (“Village”) as of and for the year ended May 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 auditors’ 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 Village’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 Village’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village, as of May 31, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and the respective budgetary comparison for the General and Water Funds for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to Note 2F in the notes to financial statements which disclose the effects of the Village’s adoption of the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 84, “Fiduciary Activities”. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the schedules included under Required Supplementary Information in the accompanying table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Supplementary and Other Information Our audit for the year ended May 31, 2021 was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules for the year ended May 31, 2021 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole for the year ended May 31, 2021. We also previously 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 basic financial statements of the Village as of and for the year ended May 31, 2020 (not presented herein), and have issued our report thereon dated November 3, 2020, which contained unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules for the year ended May 31, 2020 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 2020 financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 2020 basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare those financial statements or to those financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole for the year ended May 31, 2020. PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP Harrison, New York January 7, 2022 (This page intentionally left blank) Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Management’s Discussion and Analysis May 31, 2021 Introduction As management of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York (“Village”), we offer readers of the Village’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Village for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021. It should be read in conjunction with the basic financial statements, which immediately follow this section, to enhance understanding of the Village's financial performance. Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2021  The General Fund completed fiscal year 2021 with a fund balance totaling $7,929,838, a decrease of $603,541 from the prior year. Of the total General Fund, the unassigned fund balance totaled $3,807,378, a decrease from the prior year of $1,986,313. The unassigned fund balance of $3,807,378 is 20% of the 2021-22 budgeted appropriations. The nonspendable classification included $217 for prepaid expenditures and the assigned classification included $262,687 for encumbrances, $1,629,000 for subsequent year’s expenditures and $311,376 for future retirement expenditures. $452,407 was restricted for employee benefits which represents accumulated vacation and sick leave in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements. In addition, $1,466,773 is restricted for pension benefits for the LOSAP.  On the government-wide financial statements, the assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Village was less than its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $19,284,920.  As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Village’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $13,232,094.  The Capital Projects Fund expenditures totaled $5,479,539 and the fund balance at May 31, 20211 was $3,661,911.  The Village retired $218,534 of bond anticipation notes outstanding during the current fiscal year. At May 31, 2021, the Village had $334,155 of bond anticipation notes outstanding to finance capital projects.  During the 2021 fiscal year, the Village issued $2,609,990 of serial bonds and retired $2,190,400 of previously outstanding indebtedness. The Village’s total outstanding general obligation bonds payable at May 31, 2021 totaled $34,124,990 exclusive of unamortized issuance premiums of $1,094,196. This represents an increase in serial bonds of $419,590 from the prior year. Overview of the Financial Statements The Village’s financial statements are comprised of this Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and the basic financial statements. This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to the basic financial statements. The MD&A provides an analysis and overview of the Village’s financial activities. The basic financial statements include three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also includes other supplementary information as listed in the table of contents. Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are presented in a manner similar to private-sector business financial statements. The statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The government-wide financial statements include two statements: the statement of net position and the statement of activities. Fiduciary activities, whose resources are not available to the Village's programs, are excluded from these statements. The statement of net position presents the Village’s total assets, liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in the net position may serve as a useful indicator as to whether the financial position of the Village is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing the change in the Village’s net position during the current fiscal year. All revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods such as uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation and sick leave. The focus of this statement is on the net cost of providing various services to the citizens of the Village. The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (“governmental activities”). The governmental activities of the Village include general government support, public safety, health, transportation, economic opportunity and development, culture and recreation, home and community services and interest. Fund Financial Statements A fund is an accounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, revenues and expenditures. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in an individual fund based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The Village, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related and legal requirements. All of the funds of the Village can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental Funds - Most of the basic services provided by the Village are financed and accounted for through governmental funds. Governmental fund financial statements focus on current inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as the available balances of these resources at the end of the fiscal year. This information is useful in determining the Village’s financing requirements for the subsequent fiscal period. Governmental funds use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. From this comparison, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Village’s near- term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Village of Croton-on-Hudson has six (6) individual governmental funds: General, Water, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Special Purpose and Sewer funds. Of these, the General, Water, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds are reported as major funds, and are presented in separate columns on the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances. Data for the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for these non-major funds can be found on the combining statements elsewhere in this report. The Village adopts an annual budget for its General, Water, Sewer and Debt Service funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided in the basic financial statements for the General and Water Funds to demonstrate compliance with the respective budgets. Fiduciary Funds - These funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. The fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the assets of these funds are not available to support the activities of the Village. The Village maintains one type of fiduciary fund, the Custodial Fund. The Pension Trust Fund accounts for the Service Awards Program for volunteer firefighters, was previously recorded as a Fiduciary Fund, see Note 2F. Resources are held in the Custodial Fund by the Village purely in a custodial capacity. The activity in this fund is limited to the receipt and remittance of resources to the appropriate individual, organization or government. The financial statement for the Fiduciary Fund can be found in the basic financial statements section of this report. Notes to Financial Statement The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes can be found following the basic financial statements section of this report. Other Information Additional statements and schedules can be found immediately following the notes to the financial statements. These include the required supplementary information for the Village’s Service Awards Program, other post employment benefit obligations, the New York State Local Employees and Local Police and Fire Retirement Systems, the combining statements for the non-major governmental funds and schedules of budget to actual comparisons. Government-wide Financial Analysis The Village’s assets and deferred outflows of resources were less than the liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $19,284,920 for fiscal year 2021. The reason for this is because beginning in fiscal year 2019 the Village was required to implement GASB Statement No. 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (“OPEB”)”. This statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for OPEB that is provided to the employees of state and local governments by establishing standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources and expenses/expenditures. This statement identifies the methods and assumptions that are required to be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments to their actuarial present value and attribute that present value to the periods of employee service. The following table reflects the condensed Statement of Net Position: Statement of Net Position Current Assets $ 15,897,804 $ 15,910,180 Capital Assets, net 53,618,901 50,641,407 Total Assets 69,516,705 66,551,587 Deferred Outflows of Resources* 23,827,823 12,963,917 Current Liabilities 2,937,903 2,890,354 Long-Term Liabilities 98,524,930 93,972,667 Total Liabilities 101,462,833 96,863,021 Deferred Inflows of Resources* 11,166,615 2,250,974 Net Position Net investment in capital assets 21,515,376 19,221,916 Restricted 978,860 1,126,127 Unrestricted (41,779,156) (39,946,534) Total Net Position $ (19,284,920) $ (19,598,491) May 31, *Detailed information pertaining to the Village’s Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources is presented in Notes 1 and 3 of the financial statements. The amounts are as follows: Police and Fire ("PFRS") $ 3,923,858 $ 4,158,555 Employee ("ERS") 3,630,639 5,360,583 Fire Service Award Program 686,347 109,137 OPEB 15,467,573 1,538,340 Deferred Loss on Refunding Bonds 119,406 - $ 23,827,823 $ 11,166,615 Outflows Inflows Amounts 2021 Deferred One component of the Village’s net position is net investment in capital assets of $21,515,376 which reflects its investment in capital assets, less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens and consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Village’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The restricted net position of $978,860 represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on their use. The restrictions are: Debt Service $ 219,645 $ 376,561 Special Purpose 759,215 749,566 Restricted Net Assets $ 978,860 $ 1,126,127 May 31, Changes in Net Position REVENUES Program Revenues Charges for Services $ 6,066,469 $ 8,310,845 Operating Grants and Contributions 139,030 170,759 Capital Grants and Contributions 2,664,428 596,474 Total Program Revenues 8,869,927 9,078,078 General Revenues Real Property Taxes 12,085,820 11,647,041 Other Tax Items 139,614 31,663 Non-Property Taxes 2,083,831 1,832,635 Unrestricted Use of Money and Property 1,942 59,734 Sale of Property and Compensation for Loss 226,763 88,691 Unrestricted State Aid 200,816 211,175 Miscellaneous 52,246 1,221 Insurance recoveries 59,723 22,339 Total General Revenues 14,850,755 13,894,499 Total Revenues 23,720,682 22,972,577 PROGRAM EXPENSES General Government Support 5,658,189 6,520,127 Public Safety 7,319,296 7,349,176 Health 491,921 534,255 Transportation 4,645,815 5,201,843 Economic Opportunity and Development 30,992 63,035 Culture and Recreation 1,016,690 1,484,949 Home and Community Services 3,249,304 3,363,175 Interest 994,904 1,056,073 Total Expenses 23,407,111 25,572,633 Change in Net Position 313,571 (2,600,056) NET POSITION Beginning, as reported (19,598,491) (16,998,435) Ending $ (19,284,920) $ (19,598,491) May 31, Year Ended Home and Community Services, 13.88% Culture and Recreation, 4.35% Transportation, 19.85% Public Safety, 31.27% General Government Support, 24.17% Interest, 4.25% Health, 2.10% Economic Opportunity and Development, 0.13% Sources of Expenses for Fiscal Year 2021 Governmental Activities Unrestricted State Aid 0.85% Non-Property Taxes 8.78% Real Property Taxes 50.95% Other 2.03% Operating Grants and Contributions 0.59% Charges for Services 25.57% Capital Grants and Contributions 11.23% Sources of Revenue for Fiscal Year 2021 Governmental Activities Governmental Activities: Governmental activities increased the Village’s net position by $313,571. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, revenues from governmental activities totaled $23,720,682. Tax revenues of $14,309,265 consisting of real property taxes, other tax items and non-property taxes, represented the largest revenue source at 60%. Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds As noted earlier, the Village uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Fund Balance Reporting GASB issued Statement No. 54, “Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions”, in February 2009. The requirements of GASB Statement No. 54 became effective for financial statements for the fiscal period ending June 30, 2011. GASB Statement No. 54 abandoned the reserved and unreserved classifications of fund balance and replaced them with five new classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. An explanation of these classifications follows below. Nonspendable – consists of assets that are inherently nonspendable in the current period either because of their form or because they must be maintained intact, including prepaid items, inventories, long-term portions of loans receivable, financial assets held for resale and principal of endowments. Restricted – consists of amounts that are subject to externally enforceable legal purpose restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed – consists of amounts that are subject to a purpose constraint imposed by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority before the end of the fiscal year, and that require the same level of formal action to remove the constraint. Assigned – consists of amounts that are subject to a purpose constraint that represents an intended use established by the government’s highest level of decision-making authority, or by their designated body or official. The purpose of the assignment must be narrower than the purpose of the General Fund, and in funds other than the General Fund, assigned fund balance represents the residual amount of fund balance. Unassigned – represents the residual classification for the government’s General Fund, and could report a surplus or deficit. In funds other than the General Fund, the unassigned classification should be used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or assigned. These changes were made to reflect spending constraints on resources, rather than availability for appropriations and to bring greater clarity and consistency to fund balance reporting. This pronouncement should result in an improvement in the usefulness of fund balance information. Governmental Funds - The table below outlines the various balances that comprise the total fund balance of the Village as of May 31, 2021 according to their GASB Statement No. 54 classifications along with what the former classifications would have been. More detailed information about the Village’s fund balance is presented in note 3J in the notes to financial statements. GASB No. 54 Classification Includes Former Classifications Nonspendable Fund Balance Prepaid Expenditures $ Restricted Fund Balance Reserved for Employee Benefits 459,071 Reserved for Pension Benefits 1,466,773 Reserved for Debt Service 119,645 Debt Service - for Subsequent Year's Expenditures 100,000 Reserved for Capital Projects 3,661,911 Reserved for Parklands 759,087 Reserved for Trusts 6,566,615 Assigned Fund Balance Reserved for Encumbrances: General Government Support 153,045 Public Safety 49,378 Health Transportation 31,150 Culture and Recreation 16,167 Home and Community Services 65,520 Designated for Subsequent Year's Expenditures: Unassigned Fund Balance 1,629,000 Designated for Future Retirement Expenditures 311,376 Water Fund 181,911 Sewer Fund 419,817 2,857,884 Unassigned Fund Balance Unreserved and Undesignated: 3,807,378 Total Fund Balances (as of May 31, 2021) $ 13,232,094 Fund Balance The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Village’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary use as it represents the portion of fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the Village itself, or an individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for particular purposes by the Village Board. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Village’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $13,232,094, a decrease of $47,364 from the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to use of the restricted employee benefits fund balance this fiscal year. General Fund Budgetary Highlights When the fiscal 2020-2021 budget was adopted, it anticipated the use of $836,000 of unassigned fund balance of which $285,000 was anticipated for the balancing of the operating budget and $100,000 to help offset capital expenditures. Actual results of operations resulted in a decrease of $603,541 to the overall general fund balance. Unassigned fund balance decreased by $1,986,313. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital Assets: The Village’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of May 31, 2021, amounted to $53,618,901 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure and construction-in-progress.

Long-term Debt: On May 31, 2021, the Village had total debt outstanding of $35,904,273, comprised of general obligation bonded debt of $34,124,990, inclusive of $1,094,196 of unamortized premiums, and installment purchase debt of $685,087. During the 2020-2021 fiscal year the Village issued $2,609,990 of serial bonds and retired $2,325,509 of serial bonds and made principal payment of $202,661 of the debt installment. All of this debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the Village. Additional information on the Village’s long-term debt can be found in Note 3 of this report.

The Village Board of Trustees is the legislative body responsible for overall operation. The Village Manager serves as the chief executive officer and the Village Treasurer serves as the chief financial officer. The Village provides the following services to its residents: public safety, health, transportation, economic opportunity and development, culture and recreation, home and community services and general and administrative support. The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental units and the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by the State of New York. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The Village's significant accounting policies are described below: A. Financial Reporting Entity The financial reporting entity consists of a) the primary government, which is the Village, b) organizations for which the Village is financially accountable and c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Village are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete as set forth by GASB. In evaluating how to define the Village, for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the Village’s reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth by GASB, including legal standing, fiscal dependency and financial accountability. Based upon the application of these criteria, there are no other entities which would be included in the financial statements. B. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all non-fiduciary activities of the Village as a whole. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements, except for interfund services provided and used. The Statement of Net Position presents the financial position of the Village at the end of its fiscal year. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods or services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment and (3) interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular program. Other items not identified as program revenues are reported as general revenues. The Village does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the Statement of Activities. While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter is excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Fund Financial Statements The accounts of the Village are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund balances, revenues and expenditures. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance related legal and contractual provisions. The Village maintains the minimum number of funds consistent with legal and managerial requirements. The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds as that term is defined in professional pronouncements. Each major fund is to be presented in a separate column, with non-major funds, if any, aggregated and presented in a single column. Fiduciary funds are reported by type. Since the governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government-wide statements’ governmental activities column, a reconciliation is presented on the pages following, which briefly explain the adjustments necessary to transform the fund based financial statements into the governmental activities column of the government-wide presentation. The Village’s resources are reflected in the fund financial statements in two broad fund categories, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as follows: Fund Categories a. Governmental Funds - Governmental Funds are those through which most general government functions are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds. The following are the Village’s major governmental funds: General Fund - The General Fund constitutes the primary operating fund of the Village in that it includes all revenues and expenditures not required by law to be accounted for in other funds. Special Revenue Funds - Special revenue funds are established to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for certain defined purposes. The major special revenue fund of the Village is the Water Fund. The Water Fund is used to record the water utility operations of the Village, which renders services on a user charge basis to the general public. The major revenue of this fund is departmental income. Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for principal and interest, and for financial resources that are being accumulated for principal and interest maturing in future years. Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities and other capital assets. The Village also reports the following non-major governmental funds. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Special Revenue Funds: Special Purpose Fund - The Special Purpose Fund is used to account for assets held by the Village in accordance with the terms of a trust agreement. Sewer Fund - The Sewer Fund is used to record the sewer utility operations of the Village, which renders services on a user charge basis to the general public. b. Fiduciary Funds (Not Included in Government-Wide Statements) - The Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the Village on behalf of others. In accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 84, “Fiduciary Activities”, the Village had no such activity to report in this fund category. D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources (current assets less current liabilities) or economic resources (all assets and liabilities). The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they have been earned and they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Property taxes are considered to be available if collected within sixty days of the fiscal year end. If expenditures are the prime factor for determining eligibility, revenues from Federal and State grants are recognized as revenues when the expenditure is made and the amounts are expected to be collected within one year of the fiscal year end. A ninety day availability period is generally used for revenue recognition for most other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, net pension liability, total pension liability and other postemployment benefit liability are recognized later based on specific accounting rules applicable to each, generally when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Fund Balances Cash and Equivalents, Investments and Risk Disclosure Cash and Equivalents - Cash and equivalents consist of funds deposited in demand deposit accounts, time deposit accounts and short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Collateral is required for demand deposit accounts, time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit at 100% of all deposits not covered by Federal deposit insurance. The Village has entered into custodial agreements with the various banks which hold their deposits. These agreements authorize the obligations that may be pledged as collateral. Such obligations include, among other instruments, obligations of the United States and its agencies and obligations of the State and its municipal and school district subdivisions. Investments - (except Service Awards Investments which are discussed in Note 3A) - Permissible investments include obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agencies, repurchase agreements and obligations of New York State or its political subdivisions. The Village follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 72, “Fair Value Measurement and Application”, which defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy organized into three levels based upon the input assumptions used in pricing assets. Level 1 inputs have the highest reliability and are related to assets with unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 inputs relate to assets with other than quoted prices in active markets which may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs which can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and are used to the extent that observable inputs do not exist. Risk Disclosure Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that the government will incur losses in fair value caused by changing interest rates. The Village does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from changing interest rates. Generally, the Village does not invest in any long-term investment obligations. Custodial Credit Risk - Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Village’s deposits may not be returned to it. GASB Statement No. 40, “Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 3”, directs that deposits be disclosed as exposed to custodial credit risk if they are not covered by depository insurance and the deposits are either uncollateralized, collateralized by securities held by the pledging financial institution or collateralized by securities held by the pledging financial institution’s trust department but not in the Village’s name. The Village’s aggregate bank balances that were not covered by depository insurance were not exposed to custodial credit risk at May 31, 2021. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty will not fulfill its specific obligation even without the entity’s complete failure. The Village does not have a formal credit risk policy other than restrictions to obligations allowable under General Municipal Law of the State of New York. Concentration of Credit Risk - Concentration of credit risk is the risk attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investments in a single issuer. The Village’s investment policy limits the amount on deposit at each of its banking institutions. Taxes Receivable - Real property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on real property as of June 1st and are levied and payable in June. The Village is responsible for the billing and collection of its own taxes. The Village also has the responsibility for in-rem foreclosure proceedings. Other Receivables - Other receivables include amounts due from other governments and individuals for services provided by the Village. Receivables are recorded and revenues recognized as earned or as specific program expenses/expenditures are incurred. Allowances are recorded where appropriate. Due From/To Other Funds - During the course of its operations, the Village has numerous transactions between funds to finance operations, provide services and construct assets. To the extent that certain transactions between funds had not been paid or received as of May 31, 2021, balances of interfund amounts receivable or payable have been recorded in the fund financial statements. Inventories - There are no inventory values presented in the balance sheets of the respective funds of the Village. Purchases of inventoriable items at various locations are recorded as expenses/expenditures at the time of purchase and year-end balances at these locations are not material. Prepaid Expenses/Expenditures - Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods, and are recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid expenses/expenditures consist of costs which have been satisfied prior to the end of the fiscal year, but represent items which have been provided for in the subsequent year’s budget and/or will benefit such periods. Reported amounts in governmental funds are equally offset by nonspendable fund balance, in the fund financial statements, which indicates that these amounts do not constitute “available spendable resources” even though they are a component of current assets. Capital Assets - Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items) are reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Village as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $2,500 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Acquisition value is the price that would be paid to acquire an asset with equivalent service potential on the date of donation. In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities), the Village chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The Village was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) assets through backtrending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition year). Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives is not capitalized. Land and construction-in-progress are not depreciated. Property, plant, equipment and infrastructure of the Village are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives. Life Class in Years Buildings and Improvements 20-50 Machinery and Equipment 5-20 Infrastructure 15-50 The costs associated with the acquisition or construction of capital assets are shown as capital outlay expenditures on the governmental fund financial statements. Capital assets are not shown on the governmental fund balance sheets. Unearned Revenues - Unearned revenues arise when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. In government-wide financial statements, unearned revenues consist of revenue received in advance and/or amounts from grants received before the eligibility requirements have been met. Unearned revenues in fund financial statements are those where asset recognition criteria have been met, but for which revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The Village has reported unearned revenues of $576,519 for ambulance, fire and parking permit fees received in advance in the General Fund. These amounts have been deemed to be measurable but not "available" pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources - In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Village reported deferred outflows of resources of $119,406 for a deferred loss on refunding bonds in the government-wide Statement of Net Position. This amount results from the difference in the carrying value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Village also reported deferred inflows of resources of $292 for uncollected taxes in the General Fund. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The Village has also reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources in relation to its pension, fire service award and other postemployment benefit liabilities in the government-wide financial statement for governmental activities. These amounts are detailed in the discussion of the Village’s pension, fire service award and other postemployment benefit liabilities in Note 3G. Long-Term Liabilities - In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as Capital Projects or Debt Service funds expenditures. Compensated Absences - The various collective bargaining agreements provide for the payment of accumulated vacation and sick time upon separation from service. The liability for such accumulated time is reflected in the government-wide Statement of Position as current and long- term liabilities. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured through employee resignation or retirement. The liability for compensated absences includes salary related payments, where applicable. Net Pension Liability - The net pension liability represents the Village’s proportionate share of the net pension liability of the New York State and Local Employees’ Retirement System and the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System. The financial reporting of these amounts are presented in accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions” and GASB Statement No. 71, “Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68.” Other Postemployment Benefit Liability (“OPEB”) – In addition to providing pension benefits, the Village provides health care benefits for certain retired employees and their survivors. The financial reporting of these amounts are presented in accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions”. Net Position - represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position is comprised of three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by outstanding balances of bonds and other debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt are also included in this component of net position. Restricted net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the Village or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. Restricted net position for the Village includes restricted for capital projects, parklands, and debt. Unrestricted net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories. Fund Balance - Generally, fund balance represents the difference between the current assets and deferred outflows of resources and current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the Village is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Under this standard, the fund balance classifications are as follows: Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form (inventories, prepaid amounts, long-term receivables) or they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (the corpus of a permanent fund). Restricted fund balance is reported when constraints placed on the use of the resources are imposed by grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments or imposed by law through enabling legislation. Enabling legislation includes a legally enforceable requirement that these resources be used only for the specific purposes as provided in the legislation. This fund balance classification is used to report funds that are restricted for debt service obligations and for other items contained in General Municipal Law of the State of New York. Committed fund balance is reported for amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to formal action of the entity’s highest level of decision making authority. The Board of Trustees is the highest level of decision making authority for the Village that can, by the adoption of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, these funds may only be used for the purpose specified unless the entity removes or changes the purpose by taking the same action that was used to establish the commitment. This classification includes certain amounts established and approved by the Board of Trustees. Assigned fund balance, in the General Fund, represents amounts constrained either by the policies of the entity’s highest level of decision making authority or a person with delegated authority from the governing board to assign amounts for a specific intended purpose. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily, in that additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. An assignment cannot result in a deficit in the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund. Assigned Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) fund balance in all other governmental funds represents any positive remaining amount after classifying nonspendable, restricted or committed fund balance amounts. Unassigned fund balance, in the General Fund, represents amounts not classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned. The General Fund is the only fund that would report a positive unassigned fund balance. For all governmental funds other than the General Fund, any deficit fund balance is reported as unassigned. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted and unrestricted fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. When both restricted and unrestricted amounts of fund balance are available for use for expenditures incurred, it is the Village’s policy to use restricted amounts first and then unrestricted amounts as they are needed. For unrestricted amounts of fund balance, it is the Village’s policy to use fund balance in the following order: committed, assigned, and unassigned. F. Encumbrances In governmental funds, encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve applicable appropriations is generally employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the General, Water and Sewer funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are generally reported as assigned fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. G. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. H. Subsequent Events Evaluation by Management Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, which date is January 7, 2022. Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability A. Budgetary Data The Village generally follows the procedures enumerated below in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: a) On or before March 20th, the budget officer submits to the Board of Trustees a tentative operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following June 1st. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability (Continued) b) The Board of Trustees, on or before March 31st, meets to discuss and review the tentative budget. c) The Board of Trustees conducts a public hearing on the tentative budget to obtain taxpayer comments on or before April 15th. d) After the public hearing and on or before May 1st, the Trustees meet to consider and adopt the budget. e) Formal budgetary integration is employed during the year as a management control device for General, Water, Debt Service and Sewer funds. f) Budgets for General, Water, Debt Service and Sewer funds are legally adopted annually on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The Capital Projects Fund is budgeted on a project basis. An annual budget is not adopted for the Special Purpose Fund since other means control the use of these resources (e.g., grant awards) and sometimes span a period of more than one fiscal year. g) The Village Board has established legal control of the budget at the function level of expenditures. Transfers between appropriation accounts, at the function level, require approval by the Board of Trustees. Any modification to appropriations resulting from increases in revenue estimates or supplemental reserve appropriations also require a majority vote by the Board. h) Appropriations in General, Water, Debt Service and Sewer funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year, except that outstanding encumbrances are reappropriated in the succeeding year pursuant to the Uniform System of Accounts promulgated by the Office of the State Comptroller. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended by the Board of Trustees. B. Property Tax Limitations The Village is permitted by the Constitution of the State of New York to levy taxes up to 2% of the five year average full valuation of taxable real estate located within the Village, exclusive of the amount raised for the payment of interest on and redemption of long-term debt. In accordance with this definition, the maximum amount of the levy for 2020-2021 was $24,144,615 which exceeded the actual levy (inclusive of exclusions) by $12,206,782. In addition to this constitutional tax limitation, Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011, as amended (“Tax Levy Limitation Law”), modified previous law by imposing a limit on the amount of real property taxes a local government may levy. The following is a brief summary of certain relevant provisions of the Tax Levy Limitation Law. The summary is not complete and the full text of the Tax Levy Limitation Law should be read in order to understand the details and implementations thereof. The Tax Levy Limitation Law imposes a limitation on increases in the real property tax levy, subject to certain exceptions. The Tax Levy Limitation Law permits the Village to increase its overall real property tax levy over the tax levy of the prior year by no more than the “Allowable Levy Growth Factor,” which is the lesser of one and two-one hundredths or the sum of one plus the Inflation Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability (Continued) Factor; provided, however that in no case shall the levy growth factor be less than one. The “Inflation Factor” is the quotient of: (i) the average of the National Consumer Price Indexes determined by the United States Department of Labor for the twelve-month period ending six months prior to the start of the coming fiscal year minus the average of the National Consumer Price Indexes determined by the United States Department of Labor for the twelve-month period ending six months prior to the start of the prior fiscal year, divided by (ii) the average of the National Consumer Price Indexes determined by the United States with the result expressed as a decimal to four places. The Village is required to calculate its tax levy limit for the upcoming year in accordance with the provision above and provide all relevant information to the New York State Comptroller prior to adopting its budget. The Tax Levy Limitation Law sets forth certain exclusions to the real property tax levy limitation of the Village, including exclusions for certain portions of the expenditures for retirement system contributions and tort judgments payable by the Village. The Village Board of Trustees may adopt a budget that exceeds the tax levy limit for the coming fiscal year, only if the Board first enacts, by a vote of at least sixty percent of the total voting power of the Board, a local law to override such limit for such coming fiscal year. C. Expenditures in Excess over Budget The following functional expenditure categories exceed their budgetary authorization by the amounts indicated: Employee Benefits State Retirement $ 114,872 State Retirement - Police and Fire 112,688 D. Excess of Actual Expenditures over budget – Capital Projects Fund The following capital projects exceeded their budgetary provisions by the amounts indicated: Capital Projects Fund DPW Equipment $ Sidewalks and Curbs General Road 1,867 E. Capital Projects Fund Deficits The deficits in various individual projects arise in-part because of the application of generally accepted accounting principles to the financial reporting of such funds. The proceeds of bond anticipation notes issued to finance construction of capital projects are not recognized as an “other financing source”. Liabilities for bond anticipation notes payable are accounted for in the Capital Projects Fund. Bond anticipation notes are recognized as revenue only to the extent that they are redeemed. This deficit will be reduced and eliminated as the bond anticipation notes are redeemed from interfund transfers from other governmental funds or converted to permanent financing. Other deficits, where no bond anticipation notes were issued or outstanding to the extent of the project deficit, arise because of expenditures exceeding current financing on the projects. These deficits will be eliminated with the subsequent receipt or issuance of authorized financing. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability (Continued) F. Adoption of Accounting Standard For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Village implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 84, “Fiduciary Activities”. The objective of this statement is to improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported. The statement established criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on 1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and 2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. As a result of the adoption of this standard, certain transactions previously reported within governmental funds are now reflected within the Fiduciary Fund while other transactions previously reported in the Fiduciary Fund are now reflected within governmental funds. G. Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation with respect to the implementation of the provisions of GASB Statement No. 84. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported fund balance amounts. Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds A.

Bond anticipation notes issued for judgments or settled claims are recorded in the fund paying the claim. Principal payments on bond anticipation notes must be made annually. State law requires that bond anticipation notes issued for capital purposes or judgments be converted to long-term obligations generally within five years after the original issue date. However, bond anticipation notes issued for assessable improvement projects may be renewed for periods equivalent to the maximum life of the permanent financing, provided that stipulated annual reductions of principal are made. Interest expenditures of $11,023 were recorded in the fund financial statements in the General Fund and $6,977 were recorded in the government-wide financial statements for governmental activities. G.

Legal Debt Margin The Village is subject to legal limitations on the amount of debt that it may issue. The Village’s legal debt margin is 7% of the five year average full valuation of taxable real property. Pension Plans New York State and Local Retirement System The Village participates in the New York State and Local Employees’ Retirement System (“ERS”) and the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (“PFRS”) which are collectively referred to as the New York State and Local Retirement System (“System”). These are cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans. The System provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. The net position of the System is held in the New York State Common Retirement Fund (“Fund”), which was established to hold all assets and record changes in fiduciary net position. The Comptroller of the State of New York serves as the trustee of the Fund and is the administrative head of the System. The Comptroller is an elected official determined in a direct statewide election and serves a four year term. Obligations of employers and employees to contribute and benefits to employees are governed by the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law (“NYSRSSL”). Once a public employer elects to participate in the System, the election is irrevocable. The New York State Constitution provides that pension membership is a contractual relationship and plan benefits cannot be diminished or impaired. Benefits can be changed for future members only by enactment of a State statute. The Village also participates in the Public Employees’ Group Life Insurance Plan, which provides death benefits in the form of life insurance. The System is included in the State’s financial report as a pension trust fund. That report, including information Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued) with regard to benefits provided may be found at www.osc.state.ny.us/retire/about_us/financial_ statements_index.php or obtained by writing to the New York State and Local Retirement System, 110 State Street, Albany, NY 12244. The System is noncontributory except for employees who joined after July 27, 1976, who contribute 3% of their salary for the first ten years of membership, and employees who joined on or after January 1, 2010, who generally contribute between 3% and 6% of their salary for their entire length of service. Under the authority of the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller annually certifies the actuarially determined rates expressly used in computing the employers’ contributions based on salaries paid during the System’s fiscal year ending March 31. The employer contribution rates for the plan’s year ending in 2021 are as follows: Tier/Plan Rate ERS 3 A14/41J 16.1% 4 A15/41J 16.1 5 A15/41J 13.4 6 A15/41J 9.6 PFRS 2 384D 25.6% 5 384D* 21.0 5 384D 24.5 6 384D* 15.7 6 384D 22.2 * Indicates employees are required to make contributions for this PFRS tier/plan. At May 31, 2021, the Village reported the following for its proportionate share of the net pension liability for ERS and PFRS: Measurement date Net pension liability $ 17,662 $ 1,362,150 Villages' proportion of the net pension liability 0.0177371 % 0.0784524 % Change in proportion since the prior measurement date (0.0020031) % (0.0029826) % March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 PFRS ERS The net pension liability was measured as of March 31, 2021 and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The Village’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a computation of the actuarially determined indexed present value of future compensation by employer relative to the total of all participating members. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued) For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Village recognized its proportionate share of pension expense in the government-wide financial statements of $360,339 for ERS and $752,044 for PFRS.

Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to ERS and PFRS will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended March 31, $ (363,675) $ (160,447) (164,251) (17,264) (320,098) (142,741) (1,017,242) (714,348) - 650,208 $ (1,865,266) $ (384,592) ERS PFRS The total pension liability for the March 31, 2021 measurement date was determined by using an actuarial valuation date as noted below, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liabilities to that measurement date. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation were as follows: ERS PFRS Measurement Date March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 Actuarial valuation date April 1, 2020 April 1, 2020 Investment rate of return 5.9% * 5.9% * Salary scale 4.4% 6.2% Inflation rate 2.7% 2.7% Cost of living adjustments 1.4% 1.4% *Compounded annually, net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation. Annuitant mortality rates are based on the System’s experience with adjustments for mortality improvements based on Society of Actuaries Scale MP-2020. The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation are based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period April 1, 2015 - March 31, 2020. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected return, net of investment expenses 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. Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued) Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target asset allocation is summarized in the following table. Asset Type Domestic Equity 32 % 4.05 % International Equity 6.30 Private Equity 6.75 Real Estate 4.95 Opportunistic/ARS Portfolio 4.50 Credit 3.63 Real Assets 5.95 Fixed Income 0.00 Cash 0.50 100 % Long-Term Expected Target Real Rate Allocation of Return The real rate of return is net of the long-term inflation assumption of 2.7%. The discount rate used to calculate the total pension liability was 5.9%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumes that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based upon those assumptions, the System’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The following presents the Village’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 5.9%, as well as what the Village’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage point lower (4.9%) or 1 percentage point higher (6.9%) than the current rate: Village's proportionate share of the ERS net pension liability (asset) $ 4,902,159 $ 17,662 $ (4,486,989) Village's proportionate share of the PFRS net pension liability (asset) $ 5,792,629 $ 1,362,150 $ (2,305,142) (4.9%) (5.9%) (6.9%) 1% Current 1% Decrease Discount Rate Increase Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) May 31, 2021 Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued) The components of the collective net pension liability as of the March 31, 2021 measurement date were as follows: Total pension liability $ 220,680,157,000 $ 41,236,775,000 $ 261,916,932,000 Fiduciary net position (220,580,583,000) (39,500,500,000) (260,081,083,000) Employers' net pension liability $ 99,574,000 $ 1,736,275,000 $ 1,835,849,000 Fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability 99.95% 95.79% 99.30% ERS PFRS Total Employer contributions to ERS and PFRS are paid annually and cover the period through the end of the System’s fiscal year, which is March 31st. Retirement contributions as of May 31, 2021 represent the employer contribution for the period of April 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021 based on paid ERS and PFRS wages multiplied by the employers’ contribution rate, by tier. Employee contributions are remitted monthly. Accrued retirement contributions to ERS and PFRS as of May 31, 2021 were $135,322 and $149,895, respectively. Voluntary Defined Contribution Plan The Village can offer a defined contribution plan to all non-union employees hired on or after July 1, 2013 and earning at the annual full-time salary rate of $75,000 or more.

Payments upon separation of service varies with each agreement. The Village's liability for accumulated sick and vacation leave has been recorded in the government-wide financial statements. Other Postemployment Benefit Liability (“OPEB”) In addition to providing pension benefits, the Village provides certain health care benefits for retired employees through a single employer defined benefit OPEB plan. The various collective bargaining agreements stipulate the employees covered and the percentage of contribution. Contributions by the Village may vary according to length of service. The cost of providing postemployment health care benefits is shared between the Village and the retired employee as noted below. Substantially all of the Village's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Village. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions”, so the net OPEB liability is equal to the total OPEB liability. Separate financial statements are not issued for the plan.

Note 5 - Recently Issued GASB Pronouncements GASB Statement No. 87, “Leases”, as amended by GASB Statement No. 95, “Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance”, establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the concept that leases are a financing of a “right-to-use” underlying asset. As such, this Statement requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset. A lessor will be required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021. This is not an all-inclusive list of recently issued GASB pronouncements but rather a listing of Statements that the Village believes will most impact its financial statements. The Village will evaluate the impact this and other pronouncements may have on its financial statements and will implement them as applicable and when material. ***** (This page intentionally left blank) Total OPEB Liability: Service cost $ 940,629 $ 762,647 $ 736,786 Interest 1,151,200 1,366,788 1,396,140 Changes of benefit terms - - - Differences between expected and actual experience 3,709,278 (2,051,120) - Changes of assumptions or other inputs 7,687,580 (5) 5,900,868 (4) 1,685,609 Benefit payments (1,252,949) (1,041,371) (1,102,051) Net Change in Total OPEB Liability 12,235,738 4,937,812 2,716,484 Total OPEB Liability – Beginning of Year 44,398,336 39,460,524 36,744,040 (3) Total OPEB Liability – End of Year $ 56,634,074 $ 44,398,336 $ 39,460,524 Village's covered-employee payroll $ 7,179,336 $ 8,820,034 $ 8,820,000 Total OPEB liability as a percentage of covered-employee payroll 789% 503% 447% Notes to Schedule: Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York (1) Data not available prior to fiscal year 2019 implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions ".
