Independent Auditors’ Report
The Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the 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, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying 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, 2024, and the respective changes in
financial position and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and Water Fund for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the Village, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant
ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Village's ability to continue
as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment
made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Village's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the Village’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that 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 is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit for the year ended May 31, 2024 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, 2024 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 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 for
the year ended May 31, 2024 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 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, 2024.
We also previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, the basic financial statements of the Village as of and for the year ended May 31,
2023 (not presented herein), and have issued our report thereon dated December 1, 2023 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, 2023 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 related directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the 2023 financial statements. The information was subjected to the audit
procedures applied in the audit of the 2023 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, 2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
May 31, 2024
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, 2024. 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 2024
The General Fund completed fiscal year 2024 with a fund balance totaling $13,124,413, an
increase of $442,673 from the prior year. Of the total General Fund, the unassigned fund
balance totaled $6,280,011, a decrease from the prior year of $2,775,120. The large decrease
in unassigned fund balance resulted from the Board assigning portions of the fund balance
for various purposes, such as the purpose of a ladder truck for the fire department. The
unassigned fund balance of $6,280,011 is 28% of the 2024-25 budgeted appropriations. The
assigned classification included $218,291 for encumbrances, $675,000 for subsequent year’s
expenditures, $3,325,140 for capital projects, and $290,010
for future retirement
expenditures. $676,636 was restricted for employee benefits which represents accumulated
vacation and sick leave in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements. In
addition, $1,593,599 is restricted for pension benefits for the LOSAP and $64,015 is restricted
for tax stabilization purposes.
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 $13,508,917.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Village’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $17,817,714.
The Capital Projects Fund expenditures totaled $3,174,110 and the fund balance at May 31,
2024 was $1,880,176.
The Village retired $173,972 of bond anticipation notes outstanding during the current fiscal
year. At May 31, 2024, the Village had $773,106 of bond anticipation notes outstanding to
finance capital projects.
During the 2024 fiscal year, the Village issued $2,269,620 of serial bonds and retired
$2,431,500 of previously outstanding indebtedness. The Village’s total outstanding general
obligation bonds payable at May 31, 2024 totaled $30,374,620, exclusive of unamortized
issuance premiums of $1,400,970. This represents a decrease in serial bonds of $161,880
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. 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 postemployment 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 $13,508,917 for fiscal year 2024. 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.

One component of the Village’s net position is net investment in capital assets of $24,911,170
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 $1,079,797 represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on their use. The restrictions are:

Governmental Activities: Governmental activities increased the Village’s net position by
$858,210.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, revenues from governmental activities totaled
$26,446,924. Tax revenues of $15,395,540 consisting of real property taxes, other tax items and
non-property taxes, represented the largest revenue source at 58.1%.
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, 2024 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 3K in the notes to financial
statements.

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 $17,817,714, an increase of $1,156,588 from the prior year.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
When the fiscal 2023-2024 budget was adopted, it anticipated the use of $725,000 of unassigned
fund balance for the balancing of the operating budget. Actual operations resulted in an increase
of $442,673 to the overall general fund balance. Unassigned fund balance decreased by
$2,775,120, as a result of the Village Board assigning these funds to capital projects such as the
purchase of a ladder truck for the fire department.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets: The Village’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of
May 31, 2024, amounted to $54,135,344 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, machinery and equipment,
infrastructure and construction-in-progress.

Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York (“Village”) was established in 1898 and operates in
accordance with Village Law and the various other applicable laws of the State of New York. 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.

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

May 31, 2024
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.
Issuances of long-term debt are reported as other financing sources.

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.
The Village utilizes a pooled investment concept for all governmental funds to facilitate its
investment program. Investment income from this pooling is allocated to the respective
funds based upon the sources of funds invested.
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.
The Village participates in the Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (“CLASS”), a
cooperative investment pool, established pursuant to Articles 3A and 5G of General
Municipal Law of the State of New York. CLASS has designated Public Trust Advisors, LLC
as its registered investment advisor. Public Trust Advisors, LLC is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is subject to all of the rules and
regulations of an investment advisor handling public funds. As such, the SEC provides
regulatory oversight of CLASS.
The pool is authorized to invest in various securities issued by the United States and its
agencies, obligations of the State of New York and repurchase agreements. These
investments are reported at fair value. CLASS issues separately available audited financial
statements with a year end of June 30th.
The Village’s position in the pool, $2,933,588, is equal to the value of the pool shares. The
maximum maturity for any specific investment in the portfolio is 397 days.

Additional information concerning the cooperative is presented in the annual report of
CLASS, which may be obtained from Public Trust Advisors, LLC, 717 17th Street, Suite
1850, Denver, CO 80202.
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, 2024.
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.
Lease Receivable - The Village is a lessor for a noncancellable leases of real property. The
Village recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide
and General Fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the Village initially measures the lease receivable at the present
value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease
receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of
resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease
payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow
of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Key estimates and judgements include how the Village determines (1) the discount rate it uses to
discount the expected lease receipts to present value, 2) lease-term, and (3) lease receipts.
The Village uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in
the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The Village monitors changes in circumstances that would require measurement of its lease, and
will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that
are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
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, 2024,
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
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).
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 $750,019 for ambulance, fire, parking permit fees and other 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 assets 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
assets 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 inflows of resources in the General Fund of $1,989,975 in relation
to its leases. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that
the amounts became available.
The Village reported deferred outflows of resources of $160,218 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, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 3H.
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 (Asset) - The net pension liability (asset) represents the Village’s
proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) 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”.
Total Pension Liability – Length of Service Award Program - The total pension liabilities for the
Fire Service Award Program are presented in accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement
No. 73, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not Within
the Scope of GASB Statement No. 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB
Statements Nos. 67 and 68”.
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.
Net

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 and deferred outflows of resources 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 debt service and
special purpose.
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
fund balance in all other governmental funds represents any positive remaining amount
after classifying nonspendable, restricted or committed fund balance amounts.
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 December 11, 2024.

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.
b)
The Board of Trustees, on or before March 31st, meets to discuss and review the
tentative budget.
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York

Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability (Continued)
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 2023-2024 was $26,978,316 which exceeded
the actual levy (inclusive of exclusions) by $14,106,871.
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
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
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024
Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability (Continued)
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.

D.
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.
E. New Accounting Pronouncement
GASB Statement No. 96, “Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA’s)”,
established a single model for SBITA accounting based on the concept that SBITA’s are a financing
of a “right-to-use” underlying asset. This statement requires a subscriber to recognize a
subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset. The requirements of GASB
Statement No. 96 are effective for the Village’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2024. The Village has
completed its evaluation of the financial impact of GASB Statement No. 96 and determined that the
implementation of this standard was not required as it did not have a material impact on its financial
statements.

Liabilities for bond anticipation notes are generally accounted for in the Capital Projects Fund. 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 $13,669 were recorded in the fund financial statements in the General
Fund and $28,001 were recorded in the government-wide financial statements for governmental
activities.

Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)
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
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 ended March, 31, 2024 are as follows:

The net pension liability was measured as of March 31, 2024 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.
For the year ended May 31, 2024, the Village recognized its proportionate share of pension
expense in the government-wide financial statements of $1,037,417 for ERS and $1,146,698 for

The total pension liability for the March 31, 2024 measurement date was determined by using an

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.

of Return
The real rate of return is net of the long-term inflation assumption of 2.9%.
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:

provides municipally-funded deferred compensation to volunteer firefighters to facilitate the
recruitment and retention of active volunteer firefighters. The Village is the Sponsor of the
Program and the Program administrator.
An eligible Program Participant is defined to be an active volunteer firefighter who is at least 18
years of age and upon earning 50 or more points in a calendar year after 2000 under the
provisions of the Program point system, is eligible to become a participant in the Program. Points
are granted for the performance of certain activities in accordance with a system established by
the Village on the basis of a statutory list of activities and point values. A participant may also
receive credit for five years of firefighting service rendered prior to the establishment of the
Village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York

Compensated Absences
Under the terms of existing collective bargaining agreements, employees are entitled to accumulate
sick and vacation leave based upon the terms of their respective collective bargaining agreements.
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.
At May 31, 2024, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefit payments

Note 4 - Summary Disclosure of Significant Contingencies (Continued)

needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for
compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning recognition and measurement guidance
under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. The requirements of this
Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023.

May 31, 2024
Note 6 - Recently Issued GASB Pronouncements (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 102, “Certain Risk Disclosures” provides guidance related to a government’s
vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. A concentration is defined as a lack of diversity
related to an aspect of a significant inflow of resources or outflow of resources. A constraint is a limitation
imposed on a government by an external party or by formal action of the government’s highest level of
decision-making authority. Concentrations and constraints may limit a government’s ability to acquire
resources or control spending.
Under this statement, a government is required to assess whether an event or events associated with a
concentration or constraint that could cause substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are
more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2024.
GASB Statement No. 103, “Financial Reporting Model Improvements”, has been issued to improve key
components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is
essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. The requirements of this
Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2025.
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.
