BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IaTTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON the BoardlDeputy Clerk of the Board .:::==- NARRATIVE Kittitas County Central Services Simplified Indirect Cost Allocation Plan For Year Ended December 31,2016 In order for the county to comply with federal regulations, 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance); Kittitas County has to adopt a simplified Central Services Indirect Cost Allocation Plan. This Central Services indirect cost allocation plan is for accounting, information technology, communications, and human resources which provide departments centralized services. This is a process whereby these central services costs can be identified and assigned to benefitted activities on a reasonable and consistent basis. This central service cost allocation plan provides that process. Each county departmenUfund is listed showing the total 2016 actual expenses and 2016 direct salaries and wages. The distribution base is the direct salaries & wages of each departmenUfund. The departments are divided into 2 categories: Indirect Functions that Provide Services to the Service Providing Units and Departments that Provide Direct Services to the Citizens of the County. The Indirect functions are departments that provide Central ,Services to each County Department. The other Departments provide services directly to the citizens. Those departments may have some indirect costs. The explanation of each of these services is listed below. DEFINITIONS Addit ional Costs -Additional expenses not accounted for at the department level; including depreciation. All Other Direct Costs -the amount remaining from total costs less additional expenses, unallowable costs, indirect costs and direct salaries & wages. Capitalized Ass'ets -Purchases of Asset that has a value $5,000 or above and has a life longer than one year. These assets are depreciated. The Capitalized Asset is removed as an unallowable cost. Central Services -services that are provided to the organization, the customers of the Central Services are the internal departments, which include Auditor Accounting, Information Technology, Communications, and Human Resource. Centra.l Service Cost allocation plan -means the documentation identifying, accumulating, and allocating or developing rates based on the allowable costs of services provided by a governmental unit on a centralized basis to its departments and agencies. The costs of these services may be allocated or billed to users. Department -all County Departments and/or County Funds. Depreciation -Allocating the costs of a Capitalized Asset to periods benefiting the assets use. Direct Salaries & Wages -the 2016 fiscal year end salaries & wages for each department 1 Excluded Costs -Certain items of cost are classified by Uniform Guidance as extraordinary or distorting expenditures and are excluded from the computation of the indirect cost rate i.e . capitalized equipment. Indirect Costs -costs incurred for a common or jOint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective Indirect Cost Rate - a devise for determining in a reasonable manner the proportion of indirect costs each program should bear. It is the ratio of the indirect coast to a direct cost base. Sub Departme nt -additional breakdown of a department expenses for accounting purposes Total Costs -the 2016 fiscal year end actual expenses Unallowable Costs -Certain items of cost are classified by Uniform Guidance as unallowable, which means that federal funds cannot be used for those items of cost. For indirect cost rate calculation; however, these unallowed costs are included in the base along with the direct costs. Some examples for unallowed costs are: Governance, promotional advertising, entertainment, and fines & penalties. Uniform Guidance -United States Office of Management & Budget, 2CFR Part 200, Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards establishing principles and standards for determining costs for Federal awards carried out through grants, cost reimbursement contracts , and other agreements with governmental units. FINANCIAL INFORMATION A cc ounting Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period . Audited Data Kittitas County is audited annually by the State Auditor's office. The audits consist of Financial and Single Audit and the Accountabil ity Audit. The Financial and Single Audit was issued on September 28, 2017, Report #1019951 . The report stated: We issued an unmodified opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Internal Control over Financial Reporting: • Significant Deficiencies: We reported no deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be Significant deficiencies. • Material Weaknesses: We identified no deficiencies that we consider to be material weaknesses. We noted no instances of noncompliance that were material to the financial statements of the County. Federal Awards Internal Control over Major Programs: 2 • Significant Deficiencies: We reported no deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control over major federal programs that we consider to be significant deficiencies. • Material Weaknesses: We identified no deficiencies that we consider to be material weaknesses. We issued an unmodified opinion on the County's compliance with requirements applicable to its major federal program. We reported findings that are required to be disclosed in accordance with 2 CFR 200. 516(a). Schedule of Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs 2016-001 Kittitas County did not have adequate internal controls to ensure compliance with federal suspension and debarment and reporting requirements. Depreciation Capital assets , which includes property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the county as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 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 estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Kittitas County has elected to use the modified approach to account for the infrastructure account; Gravel Roads, which eliminates the need to report depreciation expense . Computer Software is reported as Intangible Assets with a capitalization limit of $5,000 and is not depreciated. Capital Leases are defined as long term debt to the county. The asset is tracked but there is not value placed in the Capital Assets . Capital Leases are determined by one of the following four criteria; 1) The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by, or at, the end of the lease term; 2) The lease contains an option to purchase the leased property at a bargain price; 3) The lease is equal to or greater than 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property ; 4) The present value of rental and other minimum lease payments , excluding that portion representing executory costs to be paid by the lessor, equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the lease property. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized . Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of the capital assets of business- type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed . Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: 3 Assets Years Buildings & Improvements 5-60 Improvements other than Buildings 5-50 Machinery & Equipment 3-20 Roads, Guardrails & Traffic Signals 20 Bridges 51 Time and Attendance Kittitas County uses an electronic time and attendance system to track employee's time. Employees who allocate their time are required to post their time by project or by project time distribution. This allows the time costs to be charged to the specific project.

(2) All costs included in this proposal are properly allocable to Federal awards on the basis of a beneficial or causal relationship between the expenses incurred and the Federal awards to which they are allocated in accordance with applicable requirements .
