Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Nantucket,
Massachusetts, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the Town’s basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Town of Nantucket's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We did not audit the financial statements of Nantucket Islands Land Bank discretely presented component unit.
Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and
our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Nantucket Islands Land Bank discretely
presented component unit, is based on the report of the other auditor.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
We were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the amounts reported
in several areas of the financial statements. The Town’s control activities for its accounting system did not
completely reconcile cash, investments and interfund receivables and payables; nor did the Town have controls in
place to ensure that all transactions were properly recorded. Consequently there was not sufficient audit
evidence to support the activities and balances of all funds.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, except for the effects of such adjustments, if
any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to examine evidence regarding the
reconciliation of the balances and activity of the accounts and funds described in the paragraph above, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of
the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, as of June 30, 2010, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 28, 2011 on
our consideration of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts’ internal control over financial reporting and our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
2
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The
combining fund statements, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for the purpose of supplementary
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts. Such
supplementary information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the financial statements
taken as a whole.
The Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission schedule of indirect cost rate and schedule of
public support revenues and expenditures by grant, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. We have applied
certain limited procedures to these schedules, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding
the methods of measurement and presentation of the additional information. However, we did not audit the
information and express no opinion on it.
Management’s discussion and analysis, located on the following pages, and the schedule of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balance – general fund – budgetary basis, retirement system schedule of
funding progress, retirement system schedule of employer contributions, other postemployment benefit plan
schedule of funding progress and employer contributions and other postemployment benefit plan actuarial
methods and assumptions located after the notes to the basic financial statements, are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 4 Basic Financial Statements
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the Town of Nantucket, we offer readers of these financial statements this narrative overview
and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The Town complies with financial
reporting requirements issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis are part of these requirements. The GASB is the authoritative standards-setting body
that provides guidance on the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). External users of these financial statements, such as investors and rating
agencies, rely on consistent reporting standards in order to compare the financial position of the Town of
Nantucket with that of other governmental entities.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town of Nantucket’s basic financial
statements. These basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two
reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net assets changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets 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 only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and
earned but unused sick leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental
activities include general government, public safety, education, public works, community preservation, human
services, culture and recreation, claims and judgments and interest. The business-type activities include the
activities of the sewer department, solid waste, airport, and the Siasconset and Wannacomet water departments.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Town of Nantucket itself (known as the primary
government), but also the County of Nantucket (County) and the Nantucket Islands Land Bank (Land Bank),
which are legally separate entities. The County is included because the elected Board of Selectmen serves also
as County Commissioners. The Land Bank is included because a portion of the Town’s debt was incurred on
behalf of the Land Bank, and the Town guarantees other debt incurred by the Land Bank. Financial information
for these component units is reported separately within the governmental and proprietary fund statements
respectively.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund accounting is used to ensure and
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 5 Basic Financial Statements
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund statements focus on near-term inflows of spendable resources, as well
as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
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. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government’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 Town of Nantucket adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison
schedule has been provided for the general fund as required supplementary information to demonstrate
compliance with this budget.
Proprietary funds. The Town maintains two types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-
wide financial statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its sewer department, solid waste,
airport, and the Siasconset and Wannacomet water departments’ activities and activities of the Nantucket Islands
Land Bank component unit.
Internal service funds are used by the Town to report the activity of self funded insurance programs, including
health and workers’ compensation insurance. Governmental accounting principles allow self funded insurance
programs to be reported in either the general fund or in an internal service fund. The insurance programs benefit
both the governmental and business-type activities of the Town; however, the governmental activities include
more employees and retirees than the business-type activities. For that reason, the internal service funds are
included within the category of governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources
of those funds are not available to support the Town’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds.
Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Financial Highlights as of the close of Fiscal 2010
• The total of assets exceeded liabilities (i.e., net assets) by $177 million for governmental activities, and
$122 million for business type activities.
• Governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $36.6 million.
• Unreserved fund balance for the general fund totaled $8.1 million.
• Total governmental funds debt totaled $76.6 million, and total enterprise fund debt totaled $105.4 million.

As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. For
governmental activities, assets exceeded liabilities by $177 million at the close of fiscal year 2010. The largest
portion of the Town’s net assets, $171.1 million, reflects investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery, and equipment), less any outstanding debt which was borrowed in order to build or acquire those
assets. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not
available for future spending. Although the investment in 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.
An additional portion of the net assets, $13.5 million, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, which reported a deficit balance of
$7.6 million, may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The increase in noncurrent liabilities is due to the recognition of an additional $7.7 million in other
postemployment liabilities as the Town continues to amortize the total actuarially calculated unfunded liability.

The primary governmental expenses totaled $75.4 million. Of that amount, $13.6 million was directly supported
by program revenues consisting of charges for services, operating and capital grants and contributions. General
revenues totaled $69 million, primarily coming from property taxes, motor vehicle excise, hotel/motel taxes, non-
community preservation surtaxes, restricted state aid and other miscellaneous charges.
The Town received a gain on sale of capital assets in fiscal year 2010 as the result of the sale of land that was
previously in Tax Title and the sale of other various property easements.
Additionally, governmental activities reported a return of capital contributions of $1.2 million from the sewer
enterprise fund and reported net transfers totaling $4.7 million to business-type activities. The return of capital
contribution represents residual funds that were originally borrowed through debt that is to be repaid with
governmental funds which were intended to be used to construct assets for the sewer enterprise fund.
In total, governmental activities net assets increased by approximately $3.6 million in fiscal year 2010. Key
components in this increase include the difference between the retirement of long-term debt ($6.6 million) which is
raised in the general fund and the depreciation expense recorded on capital assets ($2.6 million); The recognition
of the amortization of the Town’s liability for Other Postemployment Benefits ($7.7 million), the recognition of $1.2
million in capital grants for public safety and community preservation, and a positive result of budgetary
operations.

The Siasconset Water Company enterprise fund reported a $207,000 increase in net assets.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town reports $122 million in net assets for its combined business-type
activities.
Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing financing requirements. In
particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $36.6
million, of which $13.5 million is reported in the general fund, $6.3 million is reported in the Town capital projects
fund and $16.9 million is reported as nonmajor governmental funds. The general fund is the Town’s chief
operating fund. At the end of fiscal 2010, unreserved fund balance of the general fund totaled $10.1 million, while
total fund balance totaled $13.5 million.
During fiscal year 2010, total general fund balance showed an increase of $2.7 million, and the unreserved,
undesignated fund balance increased by $3 million. The increase was the result of positive budgetary results, the
receipt of unbudgeted bond premiums and proceeds from the sale of capital assets from properties previously
acquired through tax title, and from transfers in from closed capital projects to be used toward fiscal year 2011
articles.
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 11 Basic Financial Statements
As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total
fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 13% of total general fund
expenditures and transfers out, while total fund balance represents 18% of that same amount. $2.5 million of the
unreserved fund balance was designated at year end to support the 2011 budget. An additional $3 million was
reserved for carry-over appropriations and encumbrances.
The Town Capital Projects major fund is used to account for major capital acquisitions, primarily financed through
long-term borrowing. This fund recognized $13.1 million in bond proceeds in fiscal year 2010 for stormwater
drainage and a new police station. The majority of the $11.8 million in expenditures relate to the construction of
the new police station. The ending balance in this fund at June 30th totaled $5.6 million.
The Town also maintains a community preservation fund, classified within the non-major governmental funds
which had a year end fund balance of $6.4 million. This fund is attributable to the Town’s acceptance of the
Community Preservation Act, which allows the Town to impose a surcharge on property taxes and to receive
state funds for specified uses related to the acquisition, creation, preservation and support of open space, historic
resources, land for recreation use and community housing. In fiscal year 2010, the Town earned and accrued a
year end receivable for state matching community preservation funds, of approximately $494,000.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General fund budget consists of those appropriations voted at Annual Town Meeting, carryover
encumbrances and appropriations from the previous year, amounts charged by the Commonwealth and deducted
from state revenues, and amounts required to be raised as a result of any deficits. The Town’s budget may be
changed by action of Town Meeting or, in the last two months of the fiscal year, by vote of the Board of Selectmen
and the Finance Committee, with statutory limitation as to amount. The original appropriation budget and the
carryover encumbrances and appropriations totaled $78.7 million. Changes during the year consisted largely of
allocations between and among departments. The net decrease from changes to the appropriation budget totaled
$466,000.
Total actual revenue was higher than estimated revenue by $494,000. At year end, outstanding purchase orders
and carry-over appropriations and articles totaled approximately $3.1 million, which is reserved in fund balance at
year end. The total of actual expenditures and the amounts reserved for future expenditures was lower than the
final budget by approximately $2.1 million, a positive variance. The significant functional areas where
expenditures and carry-forwards were lower than the available appropriation were Public Safety and Employee
Benefits. Actual transfers in exceeded amounts budgeted due to amounts transferred in from capital project
funds to fund fiscal year 2011 appropriations. These amounts have been included in reserve for subsequent year
expenditures on the balance sheet.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
In conjunction with the annual operating budget, the Town annually prepares a capital budget for the upcoming
fiscal year and a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that is used as a guide for future capital expenditures.
The Town’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2010,
totals $224 million in the governmental funds, and $194 million in the enterprise funds (net of accumulated
depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, land improvements, equipment, vehicles
and infrastructure.
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 12 Basic Financial Statements
Current year fixed asset additions totaled $16.3 million for governmental activities, and $17.4 million for business-
type activities.
Long-term and Short-term Debt
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town of Nantucket had total bonded debt outstanding of $181.6 million.
The entire amount is classified as general obligation debt and is backed by the full faith and credit of the Town.
Of this amount, $25 million is in short term notes and the remaining $157 million is outstanding long term debt.
The governmental fund portion of the outstanding debt is $76.6 million. The enterprise funds’ portion of the
outstanding debt is $105 million.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
In fiscal 2010, total assessed value of taxable property in the Town decreased by $756 million or 3.6%. Tax
limitation laws in Massachusetts are primarily limits on tax revenue which consist of the prior year’s levy base,
plus 2.5%, plus revenue from new growth, plus any voter approved increases. The allowable increases to the
levy base for 2010 were $1,263,904 (2.5%) and $683,501 for new growth (1.3%). The allowable tax levy was
further increased by debt payments on voter authorized borrowing.
The tax limitation laws protect municipalities from fluctuations in real estate values, whether those values are
increasing or decreasing, by forcing the tax rate to move in the opposite direction. In a declining real estate
market, tax rates increase to raise the allowable revenue. The residential rate for 2010 was $3.01 per $1,000 of
assessed value. The average residential assessed value was $1.8 million in 2010, a 4% decrease from 2009.
The 2010 Annual and Special Town Meetings approved a fiscal year 2011 total budget of $103 million, including a
total general fund budget of $70.8 million. The residential tax rate for 2011 is $3.58 per $1,000 of assessed
value. Total assessed value of taxable property decreased by $2.9 billion, or 14% in fiscal 2011. The average
residential assessed value is $1.5 million in 2011, a 15% decrease from 2010.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES,
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds…………………………………………………… $ 2,429,867
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay…………………………………………………………………………………………… 16,261,458
Depreciation expense………………………………………………………………………………… (2,559,071)
Net effect of reporting capital assets………………………………………………………… 13,702,387
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are fully deferred in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances. Therefore, the recognition of revenue for various
types of accounts receivable (i.e., real estate and personal property, motor
vehicle excise, etc.) differ between the two statements. This amount represents
the net change in deferred revenue…………………………………………………………………… 1,875,094
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds and leases) provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-
term debt consumes the financial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is
first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
Statement of Activities.
Proceeds from bonds and notes…………………………………………………………………… (13,070,000)
Debt service principal payments…………………………………………………………………… 7,778,503
Net effect of reporting long-term debt………………………………………………………… (5,291,497)
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures
in the governmental funds.
Net change in compensated absences accrual…………………………………………………… (82,246)
Net change in accrued interest on long-term debt………………………………………………… (69,430)
Net change in workers' compensation……………………………………………………………… (83,504)
Amortization of deferred charge on refunding……………………………………………………… (100,196)
Amortization of premiums on bonds and notes payable………………………………………… 39,520
Other postemployment benefits……………………………………………………………………… (7,656,687)
Net effect of recording long-term liabilities and amortizing deferred losses……………… (7,952,543)

insurance and workers' compensation activities.
The net activity of internal service funds is reported with Governmental Activities…………… (1,197,768)
Change in net assets of governmental activities……………………………………………………………… $ 3,565,540

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
The accompanying basic financial statements of the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts (the Town) have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the recognized standard-setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting policies are described
herein.
A. Reporting Entity
The Town is a municipal corporation that is governed by an elected five member Board of Selectmen.
For financial reporting purposes, the Town has included all funds, organizations, agencies, boards, commissions
and institutions. The Town has also considered all potential component units for which it is financially
accountable as well as other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
Town are such that exclusion would cause the basic financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. As
required by GAAP, these basic financial statements present the Town (the primary government) and its
component units. Two entities have been included as component units in the reporting entity, because of the
significance of their operational and/or financial relationships with the Town.
Discretely Presented Component units – Discretely presented component units are entities that are legally
separate from the Town, but for which the Town is financially accountable, or whose relationship with the Town is
such that exclusion would cause the Town’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. These
component units are reported in separate columns to emphasize that they are legally separate from the Town.
In the Governmental Funds:
(1) The County of Nantucket (County) has the same geographical boundaries as the Town of Nantucket, and
the Town’s selectmen serve ex officio as the County Commissioners. The principal services provided by
the County are the Registry of Deeds and the Sheriff’s Office.
In the Enterprise Funds:
(1) The Nantucket Islands Land Bank (Land Bank) was created by Chapter 669 of the Acts of 1983 of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to acquire and manage open space and resource protection within
Nantucket County. The Land Bank is administered by the Nantucket Islands Land Bank Commission
comprised of five elected members.
Availability of Financial Information for Component Units and Certain Town Enterprise Funds
The Nantucket Islands Land Bank issues separate audited financial statements. A copy of the complete financial
statements can be obtained by contacting them at 22 Broad Street, Nantucket, MA 02554.
Nantucket Memorial Airport issues separate audited financial statements. A copy of the complete financial
statements can be obtained by contacting them at 14 Airport Road, Nantucket, MA 02554.
The Wannacomet Water Company issues separate audited financial statements. A copy of the complete financial
statements can be obtained by contacting them at 1 Milestone Road, Nantucket, MA 02554.

Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 31 Basic Financial Statements
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net
assets) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units.
Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported
separately from business-type activities, which are supported primarily by user fees and charges.
Fund Financial Statements
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even
though fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and displayed in a single column.
Major Fund Criteria
Major funds must be reported if the following criteria are met:
• If the total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of an individual governmental or
enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding element (assets, liabilities, etc.) for all
funds of that category or type (total governmental or total enterprise funds), and
• If the total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental
fund or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding element for all governmental
and enterprise funds combined.
Additionally, any other governmental or enterprise fund that management believes is particularly
significant to the basic financial statements may be reported as a major fund.
Internal service funds and fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when the liabilities are incurred. Real estate and personal property taxes are recognized as revenues in
the fiscal 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.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a particular 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 the following:
• Charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment.
• Grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational requirements of a particular
function or segment.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 32 Basic Financial Statements
• Grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the capital requirements of a particular function or
segment.
Taxes and other items not identifiable as program revenues are reported as general revenues.
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial
statements. However, the effect of interfund services provided and used between functions is not eliminated as
the elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the functions
affected.
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues
are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available). Measurable means the amount of
the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is
incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain
compensated absences and, claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to
be liquidated with current expendable available resources.
Real estate and personal property tax revenues are considered available if they are collected within 60 days after
fiscal year-end. Investment income is susceptible to accrual. Other receipts and tax revenues become
measurable and available when the cash is received and are recognized as revenue at that time.
Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria
is met. Expenditure driven grants recognize revenue when the qualifying expenditures are incurred and all other
grant requirements are met.
The following major governmental funds are reported:
The General Fund is the primary operating fund. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those that
are required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
of major capital facilities (other than those financed by enterprise and trust funds).
The nonmajor governmental funds consist of other special revenue, capital projects and permanent funds that are
aggregated and presented in the nonmajor governmental funds column on the governmental funds financial
statements. The following describes the general use of these fund types:
The Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than
permanent funds or capital projects funds) that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for
specified purposes.
The Permanent Fund is used to account for financial resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only
earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes that support the governmental programs.

Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 33 Basic Financial Statements
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and
use the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when the liabilities are incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the
proprietary funds principal ongoing operations. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are
reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
The following major proprietary funds and component unit are reported:
The Siasconset Water enterprise fund is used to account for the Town’s water distribution activities within its
service area.
The Sewer enterprise fund is used to account for the Town’s sewer activities.
The Solid Waste enterprise fund is used to account for the Town’s landfill activities.
The Nantucket Memorial Airport enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the Town’s airport.
The Wannacomet Water Company enterprise fund is used to account for the Town’s water distribution activities
within its service area.
The internal service fund is used to account for the financing of services provided by one department to other
departments or governmental units. This fund is used to account for risk financing activities related to health
insurance and workers’ compensation.
The Nantucket Islands Land Bank component unit is used to account for the activity of the Nantucket Islands
Land Bank.
Fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and
use the accrual basis of accounting. Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held in a trustee capacity for
others that cannot be used to support the governmental programs.
The following fiduciary fund types are reported:
The private-purpose trust fund is used to account for trust arrangements, other than those properly reported in the
pension trust fund or permanent fund, under which principal and investment income exclusively benefit
individuals, private organizations, or other governments.
The agency fund is used to account for assets held in a purely custodial capacity.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
For enterprise fund accounting, all applicable Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements
issued on or prior to November 30, 1989, are applied, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict
GASB pronouncements.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 34 Basic Financial Statements
D. Cash and Investments
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments are carried at fair value.
E. Accounts Receivable
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The recognition of revenue related to accounts receivable reported in the government-wide financial statements
and the proprietary funds and fiduciary funds financial statements are reported under the accrual basis of
accounting. The recognition of revenue related to accounts receivable reported in the governmental funds
financial statements are reported under the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Real Estate, Personal Property Taxes and Tax Liens
Real estate and personal property taxes are levied and based on values assessed on January 1st of every year.
Assessed values are established by the Board of Assessor’s for 100% of the estimated fair market value. Taxes
are due on November 1st and May 1st and are subject to penalties and interest if they are not paid by the
respective due date. Real estate and personal property taxes levied are recorded as receivables in the fiscal year
of the levy.
The Town has the legal authority to impose real estate tax liens on delinquent properties. Liens are recorded as
receivables in the fiscal year they are imposed.
Real estate receivables which have been secured via the tax lien process are considered 100% collectible.
Accordingly, an allowance for uncollectibles is not reported. An allowance of uncollectibles for other real estate
receivables is estimated based on historical trends and specific account analysis.
Personal property taxes cannot be secured through the lien process. The allowance of uncollectibles is estimated
based on historical trends and specific account analysis.
Motor Vehicle and Other Excise Taxes
Motor vehicle excise taxes are assessed annually for each vehicle registered and are recorded as receivables in
the fiscal year of the levy. The Commonwealth is responsible for reporting the number of vehicles registered and
the fair values of those vehicles. The tax calculation is the fair value of the vehicle multiplied by $25 per $1,000 of
value. Boat excise taxes are assessed annually for each boat registered and are recorded as receivables in the
fiscal year of the levy. The Commonwealth is responsible for reporting the number of boats registered and the fair
value of those boats. The tax calculation is the fair value of the boat multiplied by $10 per $1,000 of value.
The allowance for uncollectibles is estimated based on historical trends and specific account analysis.
Departmental and Other
Departmental and other receivables consist primarily of police and fire details and are recorded as receivables in
the fiscal year accrued. The allowance of uncollectibles is estimated based on historical trends and specific
account analysis.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 35 Basic Financial Statements
Special Assessments
Special Assessments consist of betterments assessed to residents of Golf View Drive in relation to the Town’s
Septic Loan Betterment program. The allowance of uncollectibles is estimated based on historical trends and
specific account analysis.
Intergovernmental
Various federal and state grants for operating and capital purposes are applied for and received annually. For
non-expenditure driven grants, receivables are recorded as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met. For expenditure driven grants, receivables are recorded when the qualifying
expenditures are incurred and all other grant requirements are met.
These receivables are considered 100% collectible and therefore do not report an allowance for uncollectibles.
Water User Fees
Water User Fees for Siasconset Water are levied monthly based on individual meter readings.
Water User Fees for Wannacomet Water Company are levied monthly based on individual meter readings and
average bills.
All water fees are subject to penalties and interest if they are not paid by the respective due date. Unbilled water
fees at year-end are accrued and are recorded as revenue in the current period.
Sewer User Fees
Sewer User Fees are levied monthly based on individual meter readings and average bills and are subject to
penalties and interest if they are not paid by the respective due date. Unbilled user fees at year-end are accrued
and are recorded as revenue in the current period.
The Town has the ability to issue Water and Sewer liens for delinquent fees which are included as a lien on the
property owner’s tax bill. Water and Sewer charges and liens are recorded as receivables in the fiscal year of the
levy.
Allowances for uncollectible water and sewer fees are estimated based on historical trends and specific account
analysis.
Landfill User Fees
The outstanding receivable for Landfill User Fees is comprised of annual commercial fees assessed to
restaurants and inns and monthly tipping fees charged to private haulers.
Airport User Fees
The outstanding receivable for Airport User Fees is comprised primarily of fuel sales.
Sewer Privilege Fees
Sewer privilege fees consist of betterments assessed to homeowners in relation to upgrades to the Surfside
Wastewater Treatment Plant.

F. Inventories
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
Inventories of the Nantucket Memorial Airport and the Wannacomet Water Company are priced at the lower of
cost or market, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method basis. Expendable supplies and small
tools are not inventoried but rather expensed when purchased.
All other inventories are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. Such inventories are not material in
total to the government-wide and fund financial statements, and therefore are not reported.
G. Restricted Assets
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
Certain assets of the enterprise funds and component units are classified as restricted because their use is
restricted by contract covenants.
H. Capital Assets
Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Capital assets, which include land, construction in progress, land improvements, plant, buildings, vehicles,
machinery and equipment, furniture, fixtures and company equipment, and infrastructure (e.g., roads, water
mains, sewer mains, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activity
column of the government-wide financial statements, and the proprietary fund financial statements. Capital
assets are recorded at historical cost or at estimated historical cost when actual historical cost could not be
determined. Donated capital assets are recorded at the estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
Except for the capital assets of the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements,
construction period interest is capitalized on constructed capital assets.
All purchases and construction costs in excess of $10,000 are capitalized at the date of acquisition or
construction, respectively, with expected useful lives of greater than one year.
Capital assets (excluding land) are depreciated on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of capital
assets are as follows:
Estimated
Useful
Life
(in years)
Vehicles………………………………………… 5
Office equipment……………………………… 5-10
Shop equipment……………………………… 10-15
Runway improvements………………………… 20
Water infrastructure…………………………… 40-70
Buildings and improvements………………… 33-50
Capital Asset Type
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized and are treated as expenses when incurred. Improvements are capitalized.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010

amounts owed between funds.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Transactions of a buyer/seller nature between and within governmental funds and internal service funds are
eliminated from the governmental activities in the statement of net assets. Any residual balances outstanding
between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the statement of net assets as
“internal balances”.

meet the available criterion in accordance with the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in the conversion to the
government-wide (full accrual) financial statements
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 38 Basic Financial Statements
L. Net Assets and Fund Equity
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Net Assets)

depreciation, less the principal balance of outstanding debt used to acquire capital assets. Unspent proceeds of
capital related debt are not considered to be capital assets. Outstanding debt relating to future reimbursements
from the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust is not considered to be capital related debt.
Net assets are reported as restricted when amounts are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by
outside parties for a specific future use.
Net assets have been “restricted for” the following:
“Permanent funds - expendable” represents amounts held in trust for which the expenditures are restricted by
various trust agreements.
“Permanent funds - nonexpendable” represents amounts held in trust for which only investment earnings may be
expended.
“Other purposes” represents restrictions placed on assets from outside parties.
Fund Financial Statements (Fund Balances)
Fund balances are reserved for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside
parties for a specific future use. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are
subject to change.

M. Long-term debt
Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Long-term debt is reported as liabilities in the government-wide and proprietary fund statement of net assets.
Material bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 39 Basic Financial Statements
Governmental Fund Financial Statements

and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized in the current period. Bond premiums are reported as
other financing sources and bond discounts are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual bond proceeds received, are reported as general government expenditures.
N. Investment Income
Excluding the permanent funds, investment income derived from major and nonmajor governmental funds is
legally assigned to the general fund unless otherwise directed by Massachusetts General Law (MGL).
O. Compensated Absences
Employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts based on collective bargaining agreements,
state laws and executive policies.
Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements

Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Vested or accumulated sick leave, which will be liquidated with expendable available financial resources, are
reported as expenditures and fund liabilities.
P. Individual Fund Deficits
At June 30, 2010, there are several individual fund deficits within the special revenue funds and capital project
funds, which are classified as non-major governmental funds in the fund financial statements. These deficits will
be funded through available funds and grants during fiscal year 2010.
Q. Use of Estimates
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure for contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the basic financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the fiscal year. Actual results could vary from estimates that were used.

Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 40 Basic Financial Statements
R. Total Column
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The total column presented on the government-wide financial statements represents consolidated financial
information.
Fund Financial Statements
The total column on the fund financial statements is presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in this
column is not the equivalent of consolidated financial information.
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A cash and investment pool is maintained that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this
pool is displayed on the balance sheet as "Cash and cash equivalents". The deposits and investments of the
trust funds are held separately from those of other funds.
Statutes authorize the investment in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instrumentalities, certificates
of deposit, repurchase agreements, money market accounts, bank deposits and the State Treasurer's Investment
Pool (the Pool). The Treasurer may also invest trust funds in securities, other than mortgages or collateral loans,
which are legal for the investment of funds of savings banks under the laws of the Commonwealth.
The Pool meets the criteria of an external investment pool. The Pool is administered by the Massachusetts
Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT), which was established by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth who serves
as Trustee. The fair value of the position in the Pool is the same as the value of the Pool shares.
The Town participates in MMDT, which maintains a cash portfolio and a short-term bond fund with combined
average maturities of approximately 3 months.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits
In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Town of Nantucket’s deposits may
not be returned to it. The Town, including the primary government and Nantucket County and Nantucket Islands
Land Bank component units, does not have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk.
Primary Government
At fiscal year-end, the carrying amount of deposits of the primary government totaled $69,557,334 and the bank
balance totaled $69,964,515. Of the bank balance, $1,250,000 was covered by the Federal Depositors Insurance
Company, $2,273,916 was covered by the Depositors Insurance Fund and $66,440,599 was collateralized.
Component Unit-County
At fiscal year-end, the carrying amount of deposits of Nantucket County totaled $2,297,582 and the bank balance
totaled $2,476,605. Of the bank balance, $597,208 was covered by Federal Depository Insurance and the
remaining $1,879,397 was fully collateralized.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 41 Basic Financial Statements
Component Unit-Nantucket Islands Land Bank
The Land Bank considers securities purchased within six months of their date of maturity to be cash equivalents.
The Land Bank holds a substantial amount of cash in time certificates of deposit and Federal treasury obligations.
Cash and equivalents are insured by the Federal Depositors Insurance Company (“FDIC”), Depositors Insurance
Fund (“DIF”) and the full faith pledge of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. From time to time, the Land
Bank’s cash balances fluctuate and can exceed the Federally insured limit of $250,000.
At fiscal year-end, the carrying amount of deposits of the Nantucket Islands Land Bank totaled $14,262,874, of
which $14,012,874 was exposed to custodial credit risk.
The Land Bank, as part of a Land purchase in previous years, is required to maintain a reserve fund to cover the
purchase of Life Insurance to be used to pay off the note at the time of the sellers death. These reserve funds are
included in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying financial statements.

Maturity
Component Unit-County
The County did not have any investments as of June 30, 2010.
Component Unit-Nantucket Islands Land Bank
At June 30, 2010, the Land Bank’s investments of $1,144,798 represent certificates of deposits that are insured
by the FDIC and Depositors Insurance Fund. The investments are stated at the fair market value, are unrated in
terms of credit risk quality ratings, and all mature in less than 1 year.
The Land Bank has entered into an agreement with the Town of Nantucket, which requires the Land Bank to
establish a working capital reserve fund, the balance of this fund is reported as designated investments. This
fund, along with the pledge of the Town of Nantucket of its full faith and credit, secures the Series 2007A and
Series 2009A bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2010. In addition, the Land Bank is prohibited from acquiring
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 42 Basic Financial Statements
additional real estate at any time that an amount equal to one year’s debt service in the reserve fund is not on
deposit.
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments
For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of a failure by the counterparty, the Town will not be able to
recover the value of its investments or collateral security that are in the possession of an outside party. The
Town, including the primary government and Nantucket County component unit, does not have an investment
policy addressing custodial credit risk. The Land Bank currently follows investment policies largely defined by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as internal Land Bank investment policies.
Primary Government
The investments of $452,750 in Federal Home Loan Bank, $1,033,628 in Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, $595,877 in Federal National Mortgage Association $419,674 in Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation Gold, and $2,841,207 in U.S. Treasury Notes are subject to custodial credit risk exposure because
the related securities are uninsured, unregistered, and held by the counterparty. The repurchase agreement

Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 53 Basic Financial Statements
MWPAT bonds outstanding in the sewer enterprise fund. Thus, net principal debt repayments in the sewer
enterprise fund are scheduled to be $45,028,234. The principal subsidies are guaranteed and therefore a
$2,259,138 intergovernmental receivable has been reported in the sewer enterprise fund. Since the Town is
legally obligated for the total amount of the debt, such amounts have been reported in the accompanying basic
financial statements. The fiscal year 2010 principal and interest subsidies totaled approximately $108,000 and
$389,000, respectively.
For MWPAT loans issued for projects first appearing on Department of Environmental Protection’s Intended Use
Plan in 2002 and forward, the net debt service is structured to result in the financial equivalent of a loan with an
annual interest rate of 2%.
The Town is eligible to draw down funds from the MWPAT against outstanding loans once eligible costs
associated with the construction of the projects have been submitted and approved. As of June 30, 2010,
$805,000 of the $4,006,000 loan recorded in the sewer enterprise fund and $684,141 of the $4,600,000 loan
recorded in the governmental financial statements have not been drawn down from the MWPAT. Accordingly,
these amounts have been recorded as intergovernmental receivables in the sewer enterprise fund and in the
governmental activities, respectively, as of June 30, 2010.

NOTE 8 – RISK FINANCING
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; and natural disasters for which the Town carries commercial insurance. The amount of claim
settlements has not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the previous three fiscal years.
The Town is self-insured for its health insurance and workers’ compensation activities. These activities are
accounted for in the internal service fund where revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded
when the liability is incurred.

NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN
Plan Description - The Town and the County contribute to the Barnstable County Retirement Association (the
System), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Barnstable County
Retirement Board. Substantially all employees of both the Town and County are members of the System, except
for public school teachers and certain administrators who are members of the Massachusetts Teachers
Retirement System, to which the Town does not contribute. Pension benefits and administrative expenses paid
by the Teachers Retirement Board are the legal responsibility of the Commonwealth. The amount of these on-
behalf payments totaled approximately $2,008,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and, accordingly, are
reported in the general fund as intergovernmental revenues and pension expenditures.
The System provides retirement, disability and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Chapter 32 of
the MGL assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the plan. Cost-of-living adjustments
granted between 1981 and 1997 and any increases in other benefits imposed by the Commonwealth’s state law
during those years are borne by the Commonwealth and are deposited into the pension fund. Cost-of-living
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 57 Basic Financial Statements
adjustments granted after 1997 must be approved by the Barnstable County Retirement Board and are borne by
the System. The System issues a publicly available, unaudited, financial report in accordance with guidelines
established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission
(PERAC). That report may be obtained by contacting the System located at 99 Willow Street, Yarmouthport,
Massachusetts, 02675.
Funding Policy - Plan members are required to contribute to the System at rates ranging from 5% to 11% of
annual covered compensation. The Town and County are required to pay into the System their share of the
system-wide actuarially determined contribution that is apportioned among the employers based on active current
payroll. Administrative expenses are funded through investment earnings. Chapter 32 of the MGL governs the
contributions of plan members and the Town. The Town’s contributions to the System for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010 totaled $3,346,353, $3,643,915 and $3,925,224 respectively, which equaled its
required contributions for each fiscal year. The County’s contribution to the System for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010 were $138,012, $145,083 and $152,865 respectively, which equaled its required
contributions for each fiscal year.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
basic financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets
is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Additionally, the
schedule of employer contributions, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
basic financial statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to
the cost-sharing plan as a whole, of which the Town is one participating employer, as well as the Town’s
proportionate share of the plan’s annual contributions. This information is designed to be helpful for
understanding the scale of the information presented relative to the Town.
NOTE 10 – POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Fiscal year 2010 is the initial year that the Town has implemented GASB Statement 45, Accounting and Financial
Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB 45). As allowed by GASB 45,
the Town has established the net Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) obligation at zero at the beginning of
the transition year and has applied the measurement and recognition requirements of GASB 45 on a prospective
basis plan.
Chapter 32B of the MGL assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the plan. Benefit
provisions are negotiated between the Town and the unions representing Town employees and are renegotiated
each bargaining period. The Retiree Health Plan does not issue a publicly available financial report.
Funding Policy – Contribution requirements are also negotiated between the Town and union representatives.
The required contribution is based on a pay-as-you-go financing requirement. The Town contributes between 80
and 90 percent of the cost of current-year premiums for eligible retired plan members and their spouses. Plan
members receiving benefits contribute the remaining 10 to 20 percent of their premium costs. For fiscal year
2010, the Town contributed $2,587,000 to the plan.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation – The Town’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost
(expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially
determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded
actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The components of the Town’s
annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the Town’s net OPEB
obligation are summarized in the following table:
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 58 Basic Financial Statements
Annual required contribution……………………………………$ 10,647,000
Interest on net OPEB obligation……………………………… 537,000

Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year……………………… 8,211,000
Net OPEB obligation - end of year……………………………$ 16,808,000
The Town’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB
obligation for fiscal year 2010 was as follows:
Percentage of
Fiscal Year Annual Annual OPEB Net OPEB
Ended OPEB Cost Cost Contributed Obligation

6/30/2009 10,745,000 24% 8,211,000
Funded Status and Funding Progress – The funded status of the Plan as of the most recent actuarial valuation
date, June 30, 2007, is as follows:
Actuarial Value of Liability (AAL) AAL Funded Covered of Covered
Valuation Assets Projected Unit Credit (UAAL) Ratio Payroll Payroll
Date (A) (B) (B-A) (A/B) (C) ((B-A)/C)
7/1/2009 $ - $ 127,923,000 $ 127,923,000 0% $ N/A N/A
7/1/2007 - 104,980,000 104,980,000 0% N/A N/A
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the
plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are
compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding
progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements,
presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the
substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the
employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that
are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2009, actuarial valuation, actuarial liabilities were determined using the projected unit credit cost
method. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.00% investment return assumption, calculated based on the
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 59 Basic Financial Statements
funded level of the plan at the valuation date. The UAAL is being amortized over a 30 year period. The
remaining amortization period at June 30, 2010 is 28 years.
NOTE 11 – LANDFILL CLOSURE
State and Federal laws and regulations require the Town to construct a final capping system on its landfill site
when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site after
closure. The landfill operates under an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the Department of
Environmental Protection. The ACO was amended in fiscal 2010 to allow for landfill mining over a five year
period. Landfill mining will reduce the footprint of the unlined area that will eventually be capped and closed. The
landfill maintains three cells with closure dates currently estimated to be fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2026. The Town
has reflected a $2,578,000 closure liability at June 30, 2010, as an obligation of the solid waste enterprise fund.
This amount is based upon estimates of what it would cost to perform all closure costs and post-closure care.
Actual costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS

NOTE 13 – CONTINGENCIES
The Town participates in a number of federal award programs. Although the grant programs have been audited
in accordance with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 through June 30, 2010, these
programs are still subject to financial and compliance audits. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 60 Basic Financial Statements
disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time, although it is expected such amounts, if
any, to be immaterial.
Various legal actions and claims are pending. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of
individual litigated matters is not always predictable. Although the amount of liability, if any, at June 30, 2010,
cannot be ascertained, management believes any resulting liability should not materially affect the financial
position at June 30, 2010.
NOTE 14 – TRANSFER OF SHERIFF’S OPERATIONS
In accordance with Chapter 61 of the acts of 2010, An Act Transferring County Sheriffs to the Commonwealth, as
of January 1, 2010, the office of the Nantucket County Sheriff was transferred to the Commonwealth. With this
transfer, all functions, duties and responsibilities of the Sheriff’s office were transferred to the Commonwealth, and
the Sheriff became an employee of the Commonwealth. As a result, all valid liabilities and debts of the Sheriff’s
office, which were in force on the effective date of the act, became obligations of the Commonwealth as of that
date. Additionally, all assets of the Sheriff’s Office were transferred to the Commonwealth. Cash transferred is
shown within the County combining statements as an expense within the Sheriff Deeds Excise Fund.
NOTE 15 – IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS
During fiscal year 2010, the Town has implemented the following GASB pronouncements:
• The GASB issued Statement #57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-
Employer Plans. The standards in this statement permits an agent employer that has an individual
employer OPEB plan with fewer than 100 members to use an alternative measurement method to
produce actuarially based information for purposes of financial reporting, regardless of the number of total
plan members in the agent multiple-employer OPEB plan in which it participates. Management elected to
implement this standard early and this standard did not impact the basic financial statements.
• The GASB issued Statement #58, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Chapter 9 Bankruptcies. The
standards in this statement provide guidance for bankrupt state and local governments by establishing
requirements for recognizing and measuring the effects of the bankruptcy process on assets and liabilities
and for classifying changes in those items and related costs. Management elected to implement this
standard early and this standard did not impact the basic financial statements.
Future Implementation of GASB Pronouncements
• The GASB issued Statement #54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions,
which is required to be implemented in fiscal year 2011. The implementation of this GASB will impact the
Town’s financial statements, as it changes fund balance components into Nonspendable; Restricted;
Committed; Assigned; and Unassigned.
• The GASB issued Statement #59, Financial Instruments Omnibus, which is required to be implemented in
fiscal year 2011. Management is assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the basic
financial statements.
• The GASB issued Statement #60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession
Arrangements, which is required to be implemented in fiscal year 2013. Management is assessing the
impact this pronouncement will have on the basic financial statements.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 61 Basic Financial Statements
• The GASB issued Statement #61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus, which is required to be
implemented in fiscal year 2013. Management is assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on
the basic financial statements.
• The GASB issued Statement #62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance
Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, which is required to be
implemented in fiscal year 2013. Management is assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on

Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts 72 Required Supplementary Information
NOTE A – BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Notes to Required Supplementary Information
1. Budgetary Information
Municipal Law requires the adoption of a balanced budget. An annual budget is prepared by Town
Administration, reviewed and forwarded by the Board of Selectmen, reviewed and recommended by the Finance
Committee to Annual Town Meeting for adoption by positive vote. Increases or decreases to the originally
adopted budget require approval at a Special Town Meeting. Transfers between and within departments
subsequent to the approval of the annual budget typically require approval at a Special Town Meeting or in certain
circumstances by vote of the Finance Committee and Board of Selectmen, as outlined in Massachusetts General
Law.
The majority of appropriations are non-continuing, which lapse at the end of each fiscal year. Others are
continuing appropriations for which the governing body has authorized that an unspent balance from a prior fiscal
year be carried forward and made available for spending in the current fiscal year. These carry forwards are
included as part of the subsequent fiscal year’s original budget.
Generally, expenditures may not exceed the legal level of spending (salaries, expenses and capital) authorized
for an appropriation account. However, the payment of debt service is statutorily required, regardless of whether
such amounts are appropriated. Additionally, expenditures for disasters, natural or otherwise, and final claims
and judgments may exceed the level of spending authorized by two-thirds majority vote of the Committee.
An annual budget is adopted for the general fund in conformity with the guidelines described above. The Town’s
original fiscal year 2010 budget includes $78,697,777 in appropriations and other amounts to be raised and
$2,906,103 in amounts carried forward from the previous fiscal year. During fiscal year 2010, the Town’s budget
increased by $78,698 mainly due to a combination of $317 thousand in budget reductions and votes to transfer
available funds of $650 thousand to various funds Fund.
The Town Accountant’s Office has the responsibility to ensure that budgetary control is maintained. Budgetary
control is exercised through the accounting system.
2. Budgetary - GAAP Reconciliation
For budgetary financial reporting purposes, the Uniform Municipal Accounting System basis of accounting
(established by the Commonwealth) is followed, which differs from the GAAP basis of accounting. A
reconciliation of budgetary-basis to GAAP-basis results for the general fund for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2010, is presented below:
Net change in fund balance - budgetary basis…………………$2,320,080
Basis of accounting differences:
Recognition of revenue based on available criteria………… (428,928)
Accrued expenditures…………………………………………… 818,397
Recognition of revenue for on-behalf payments……………… 2,008,000
Recognition of expenditures for on-behalf payments………… (2,008,000)
Net change in fund balance - GAAP basis………………………$ 2,709,549

3. Appropriation Deficits
During fiscal year 2010, none of the Town’s general fund expenditures exceeded budgeted appropriations.
NOTE B – PENSION PLAN
The Town and the County contribute to the Barnstable County Retirement Association (“Retirement System”), a
cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) administered by the Barnstable County
Retirement Board. The Retirement System provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to members and
beneficiaries. Chapter 32 of the MGL assigns authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the Plan.
Plan members are required to contribute to the Retirement System at rates ranging from 5% to 11% of annual
covered compensation. The Town and County are required to pay into the Retirement System its share of the
systemwide actuarially determined contribution which is apportioned among the employers based on active
covered payroll.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
basic financial statements, presented multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets
is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Additionally, the
schedule of employer contributions, presented as required supplementary information, following the notes to the
basic financial statements, presents multiyear trend information for required and actual contributions relating to
the cost-sharing plan as a whole, of which the Town is one participating employer, as well as the Town’s
proportionate share of the plans annual contributions. This information is designed to be helpful for
understanding the scale of the information presented relative to the Town.
The following actuarial methods and assumptions were used in the Retirement System’s most recent actuarial
valuation:

Remaining Amortization Period………………………………19 years from July 1, 2009 for 2002
NOTE C – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Town administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Retiree Health plan”). The plan
provides lifetime healthcare for eligible retirees and their spouses through the Town’s health insurance plan,
which covers both active and retired members, including teachers.
The Town currently finances its other postemployment benefits (OPEB) on a pay-as-you-go basis. As a result,
the funded ratio (actual value of assets expressed as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability) is 0%. In
accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards, the Town has recorded its OPEB cost equal to the
actuarial determined annual required contribution (ARC) which includes the normal cost of providing benefits for
the year and a component for the amortization of the total unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the plan.
The Schedule of Funding Progress presents multi-year trend information which compares, over time, the actuarial
accrued liability for benefits with the actuarial value of accumulated plan assets. Since this is the Town’s initial
year of implementation of GASB Statement 45, information for prior years is not available.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan and included the types
of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit cost between the
employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that
are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The Schedule of Actuarial Methods and Assumptions presents factors that significantly affect the identification of
trends in the amounts reported.
