I PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Monroe County Transit (SeCe)
The awarded funds will be used to replace two aging body-an-chassis buses, unit
2833 (VIN# 1FDWE30F8WCH13964), a 1998 Ford/Aerolite bus with 8
ambulatory & 2 wheelchair passenger capacity and 1905 (VIN#
1 FDWE30F3XHC33122), a 2000 Ford/Aerolite with 8 ambulatory / 2 wheelchair
passenger capacity or two similar high mileage lower capacity buses. The two
body-an-chassis diesel bus replacement vehicles will be configured to increase
the capacity of the fleet to handle both ambulatory and wheelchair clients with
more dependable transportation, while reducing the excessively high repair and
maintenance and service equipment downtime that is associated with high age
and high mileage vehicles. Recent need has required still maintaining some high
mileage, high maintenance and more frequent downtime buses that would
otherwise have been eliminated fr9m the fleet. As the newer bus problems are
solved the fleet will be reduced by those less efficient more maintenance prone
vehicles,
Additionally, the transit program hopes to reduce the fleet size as the average
age of the fleet reflects newer vehicles. This reduction of the older, more costly to
operate backup vehicles from the transit fleet will result in reduced maintenance
expense, better fuel economy and less bus downtime than the department had
been experiencing in the past.
As always, the new buses will be placed on Monroe County's preventive
maintenance plan along with utilizing the new vehicle warranties.
Client outreach continues in Big Pine and the Middle Keys and will again be the
focus for this fiscal year especially targeting the elderly and the handicap. Elderly
organization meetings will be attended on a regular basis in an attempt to
introduce and re-acquaint the aging population with our services.
Special Needs Clients target the elderly and handicapped to make sure they are
not forgotten as threatening storms approach the Florida Keys. The
transportation of those individuals is assured by maintaining a well-equipped
current transit fleet.

IndeDendent Auditors. ReDort on Internal Control Over Financial RePOrtlnQ and
On Comgllance and other Matters Based on an Audit of Flnanc'al Statements
Performed In Accordance with Government Audltlna Standards
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida:
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of Monroe County, Florida (the
"County") as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the County's
basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 2, 2007. We did not
audit the" financial statements of the Monroe County Housing Finance Authority (the ~Authority.). the
County's discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other
auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for the Authority, is based solely on the report of other auditors. 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.
Internal Control over FInancial ReportIng
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the County's internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on
the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the intemal
control components does not reduce to a relatively row level the risk that misstatements caused by
error or fraud In amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited
may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions. We noted no matters Involving the internal control over financial reporting and
its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
1-1
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining assurance about whether the County's financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed an instance of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government AudIting Standards, which Is described!n the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs as item 06-01.
We noted other matters involving internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to
management of the County in a separate management letter dated February 2. 2007.
This report is intended sOlely for the information and use of management, the County Mayor, and Board
of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, and applicable state and federal agencies, and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

IndeDendent Auditors' ReDort on Compliance and Internal Control
Over ComDllance AnDllcable to each Malar Federal Awards
Proaram and State Financial Assistance ProJects
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Monroe County, Florida (the "County") with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
Compliance Supplement, and the requirements described in the Executive Office of the Governor's
State Projects Compliance Supplement. that are applicable to each of its major federal awards
programs and state financial assistance projects for the year ended September 30, 2006. The County's
major federal awards programs and state financial assistance projects are identified In the summary of
auditors' results section of the accompanying Schedule of FindIngs and Questioned Costs.
Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its
major federal awards programs and state financial assistance projects is the responsibility of the
County's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the County's compliance based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States af America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; OMS Circular A-133. Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-pront Organizations; and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General. Those standards, OMS Circular A-133, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General,
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether non-
compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and
material effect on a major federal awards program or state financial assistance project occurred. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County's compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a
legal determination of the County's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the County complied, in an material respects, with the requirements referred to above
that are applicable to each of its major federal awards programs and state financial assistance projects
for the year ended September 30,2006. However. the results of our auditing procedures disclosed one
instance of noncompliance with those requirements that is required to be reported in accordance with
applicable sections of OMS Circular A-133, which is described in the accompanying Schedule of
Findings and Questioned Costs as Item 06-2.
1-3
Internal Control over Compliance
The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal
awards programs and state financial assistance projects. In planning and performing our audit, we
considered the County's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct
and material effect on a major federal awards program or state financial assistance project in order to
determine our auditing pr<?cedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test
and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMS Circular A-133 and Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition
in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that non-compliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grants caused by error or fraud that would be malerial in relation to a major federal
awards program or state financial assistance project being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We
noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses.
This report is Intended solely for the infonnation and use of management, the County Mayor and the
Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, and applicable state and federal agencies,
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Monroe County, Florida
(the "County') as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006, and have issued our report thereon
dated February 2, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the County's management.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not
audit the financial statements of the Monroe County Housing Finance Authority (the MAuthority"), a
discretely presented component unit of the County. Those financial statements were audited by other
auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for the Authority is based solely on the report of other auditors.
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. We have issued our Independent
Auditors' 'Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters
based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and our Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance and Internal Control over Compliance
Applicable to each Major Federal Awards Program and State Financial Assistance Project. Disclosures
in these reports, which are dated February 2, 2007 and March 19, 2007, respectively, should be
considered in conjunction with this management letter.
Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General.
Those rules (Section 10.554(1)(h)1) require that we address in the management letter, if not already
addressed in the auditors' reports on internal controls, compliance and other matters or schedule. of
findings and questioned costs, whether or not corrective actions have been taken to address significant
findings and recommendations made in the preceding annual financial audit report, There were no
findings in the preceding annual financial audit report.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1 )(h)2) state that a management letter shall have a
statement as to whether or not the County complied with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding
the investment of public funds. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements of the
County, the results of our tests did not indicate that the County was in noncompliance with Section
218.415 regarding the investment of public funds.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)3) require disclosure in the management letter
of any recommendations to improve the County's management, accounting procedures, and internal
controls. Reference to recommendations is provided in separate management letters for each County
agency.

of the following matters jf not already addressed in the auditorst reports on compliance and internal
controls or schedule of findings and questioned costs: (1) vIolations of laws, rules, regulations, and
contractual provisions that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred; (2) improper or illegal
expenditures; (3) improper or inadequate accounting procedures (e.g., the omission of. required
disclosures from the financial statements); (4) failures to properly record financial transactions; and (5)
other inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, and instances of fraud discovered by, or that come to the
attention of. the auditor. There were no such matters noted.

legal' authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed

included in notes to the financial statements.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)6.a.), the scope of our audit
included a review of the provisions of Section 218.503(1), florida Statutes, regarding financial
emergencies. In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the County, the results of our
tests did not indicate that the County met any of the specified conditions of a financial emergency
contained in SectIon 218.503(1}. However, OU~ audit does not provide a legal determination on the
County's compliance with this requirement.
The Rules ot the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)6.b.) state that a management letter shall
include a statement as to whether or not the financial report filed with the Florida Department of

component unit. defined as part of the reporting entity under accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. for which the County has not been deemed the local governing
authority for purpose of the annual report. In connection with our audit of the County, the results of our
tests indicate that the annual financial report for the year ended September 30, 2006, filed with the
Department of Financial SelVices, is in agreement with the annual financial audit report for the current
audit period.

information provided by same. The financial condition assessment procedures described above
disclosed no deteriorating financial conditions.
