The Honorable Jim Scholl
Mayor, Board of County Commissioners
Citizens of Monroe County, Florida
We are pleased to submit the Annual Financial Report for the Key West International Airport
Monroe County, Florida for the fiscal year (FY) ended September 30, 2024.
The Airport's Annual Financial Report is prepared by the Finance Department under the direction
of the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller (Clerk). Responsibility for both the accuracy of
the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures,
rests with the Clerk as Chief Financial Officer of Monroe County, Florida(the County). We assert
that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all
material aspects. It is presented in a format designed to fairly present the financial position and
results of operations of the Airport as measured by the financial activity. All disclosures needed to
allow the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Airport's financial activity have
been included.
The County has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to
protect the County's assets from loss,theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable accounting
information for financial statement preparation in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) established by the Government Accounting Standards
Board. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the objective is to
provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of
material misstatement.
Independent Audit
The County's auditor, RSM US LLP, has issued an unmodified("clean") opinion on the Airport's
financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024. The report of the independent auditor
is located at the front of the Financial Section in this report.
Management Discussion and Analysis
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). The MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditor
in this report and fulfills this requirement. This Letter of Transmittal is designed to complement
the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.

Key West International Airport Profile
Basic Information
Located in the City of Key West in Monroe County, Florida, the Key West International Airport
has a unique history due to its compact size and strategic geographic location. Originally called
Meacham Field,Pan American Airways scheduled the Airport's first flight in 1928. During World
War 11, after the attack on Pearl Harbor,the Airport was used by the United States Army. In 1953,
the City of Key West granted Monroe County clear title to Meacham Field. Soon thereafter, the
Airport officially became the Key West International Airport.
The Airport sits on approximately 378 acres at an elevation of three feet. It has a single 5,076-foot
asphalt runway. The Airport's passenger terminal complex consists of two buildings, with the
original terminal, built in 1957, on the lower level serving arriving passengers and connecting to
the departure gates. The terminal was expanded in 2009 with a newer building as the upper level
that houses ticketing, check-in, and security checkpoints. Parking is available adjacent to the
landside terminal in a parking garage. The Airport provides for additional passenger services such
as car rental facilities and ground transportation.
Monroe County is the primary population area served by the Airport. Monroe County is the
southernmost county in the United States with only one road, U.S. 1, connecting some of the
islands known as the Florida Keys to the mainland. The City of Key West,the county seat and the
County's southernmost city, is approximately one hundred fifty miles southwest of Miami. The
Florida Keys are a popular domestic and international tourist destination. It offers the largest
national maritime sanctuary and the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States.
The Airport falls under the governance of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
(Board). The Board is comprised of five members, all of whom are elected. The Board acts as a
local legislative and executive body, setting public policy, levying taxes, and funding projects,
programs, and the operations of county departments. The Board appoints a county administrator
to carry out the Board's policies and decisions. The Airport, a county department, is managed by
the Executive Director of Airports who reports directly to the County Administrator. Under the
direction of the elected Monroe County Clerk of Circuit Courts and Comptroller, the Monroe
County Finance Department maintains the accounting system for the Board's operations,including
the Airport's operations.
The Airport has a senior management team consisting of the executive director of airports, one
assistant director of airports and three deputy directors. The Airport is a financially self-sustaining
enterprise fund that generates revenues from user fees and lease revenues. The Airport's primary
function is to provide the infrastructure to facilitate air service for the residents and tourists of
Monroe County. As of September 30, 2024, the Airport has scheduled service from six domestic
carriers (American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Silver Airways, JetBlue, and
Allegiant) accommodating over 1.4 million passengers in the 12 months ending September 30,
2024. The Airport is also served by FedEx cargo carrier.
A-2
Buffet
According to Florida Statutes, Chapter 129, a budget shall be prepared, balanced, approved,
adopted, and executed each fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). The Board conducts
budget meetings on departmental budgets. The Airport prepares a tentative budget which is
presented to the Board for approval.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all
fund types. During the year, the County's Office of Management and Budget acts on
intradepartmental cost center budget changes and interdepartmental cost center budget changes are
submitted to the Board as a Budget Resolution for approval.A budget amendment is required when
alterations are made to a fund's total revenues or expenditures. The Board may adopt the budget
amendment after public hearings are held.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Local Economy
Monroe County's economy is largely dependent on the tourism and hospitality industries. As a
result,reliable economic indicators include airline passenger enplanements/deplanements and bed
tax revenues. Total airline passengers increased 9.8% in the past year and the Airport serviced
more passengers in42023 than it did in the history of the Airport.
Long-term Financial Planning
The Airport uses a commercial compensatory rate setting methodology. The cost of airlines
operating at the Airport is represented by cost per enplaned passenger or CPE. The CPE is
calculated as total airline revenues divided by total enplaned passengers. The Airport's CPE for
the past five years was:
2024 $12.07
2023 $11.62
2022 $ 8.80
2021 $ 8.39
2020 $13.32
The numbers reflect an average across all carriers. Individual airlines may have a CPE that is
higher or lower than the average based on their individual operating models.
The Airport negotiated with the airlines for a new five-year airline operating agreement, effective
October 1, 2021. The new lease agreement includes provisions for the airlines' use and occupancy
of facilities at the Airport. The Airport is currently under negotiation with the airlines for a second
five-year agreement to begin after the current agreement ends in 2026.
A-3
Major Initiatives
The Airport is currently constructing a new second-level Concourse A terminal building. The
primary goal of Concourse A is to enhance passenger experience. Construction began in 2022,
with a projected completion in 2026. Concourse A will be approximately 49,000 square feet and
include:
• Glass-enclosed passenger loading bridges;
• Expansion of additional baggage make up areas and devices;
• Airline ramp/office spaces;
• Ramp equipment storage areas;
• Additional baggage claim device;
• Expanded rent-a-car facility and baggage service offices.
The Concourse A Terminal and Improvements Program also includes improvements to the existing
landside terminal including expanded security checkpoint with an area to support up to four lanes
and added support spaces; and a new extended passenger pedestrian bridge for public access to
airport administration offices.
Relevant Financial Policies
The Board strives to adhere to sound financial management principles to ensure that sufficient
funds are available to maintain a stable financial base for the Airport. To achieve a stable financial
base,the County budgets to maintain a net position sufficient to fund the Airport's cash flow needs,
and to provide financial reserves for unanticipated expenditures or unexpected revenue shortfalls.
In accordance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, the County's investment policy, approved
in January 2019, establishes investment objectives, maturity and liquidation requirements,
portfolio composition, risk and diversification requirements, and authorized investments. The
primary objective of investment activity is the safety of the principal of funds and to maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs. A secondary objective is to obtain
competitive returns on the investment of the County's surplus funds.
We would like to express our appreciation to the entire Finance Department, the Board of County
Commissioners and Airport staff for their assistance in the preparation of this report.
We also extend our thanks and appreciation to our independent auditor, RSM US LLP, for its
outstanding efforts, advice, and assistance.
Sincerely,

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Board of County Commissioners
Monroe County, Florida
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Key West International Airport of Monroe County, Florida
(the Airport), an enterprise fund of Monroe County, Florida (the County), as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Airport, an enterprise fund of the County, as of September 30, 2024,
and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the County, and
to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to
our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Airport, an enterprise fund of the
County, and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the County, as of
September 30, 2024, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the October 1, 2023 beginning net position and
beginning balances for leases and interest receivable and deferred inflow of resources have been
restated to correct errors. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Airport's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, the schedule of the Airport's proportionate share of the net pension liability for
the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (FRS)and Health Insurance Subsidy Pension Plan (HIS),
the schedule of the Airport's contributions for the FRS and HIS plans, and the schedule of the Airport's
changes in total OPEB liability and related ratios, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to
supplement the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although
not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the financial statements and other knowledge
we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to
express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial statements. The other
information comprises the introductory section but does not include the financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and
we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
B-2
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are
required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 9, 2025,
on our consideration of the Airport's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Airport's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
Airport's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Airport Management offers readers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
Key West International Airport(Airport) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
We encourage readers to consider this information in conjunction with additional information furnished
in the letter of transmittal in the Introductory Section of this report and the audited basic financial
statements for an overall view of the Airport's activities.
Financial Highlights and Summary
The Airport's financial highlights for the fiscal year are as follows:
• In FY 2022, for the first time in the history of the County, the Airport completed negotiations and
entered into an Airline Operating Agreement with all six commercial service airlines serving the
airport. The Airport and airlines are meeting regularly to negotiate the next five-year airline
operating agreement.
• During FY 2024, total passengers at the Airport increased 9.1% from the prior fiscal year.
• American Airlines and United Airlines experienced passenger volume increases.
• FY 2024 total operating revenue increased 22% over FY 2023. Revenue from the airlines also
increased 22%.
• In FY 2024, the Airport's net position was restated for a reduction of ($99,524) due to a prior
period adjustment. In prior years, regulated leases previously reported leases receivables and
deferred inflow of resources and should not have been reported as such.
Overview of the Financial Statements. The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an
introduction to the Airport's financial statements. The Airport's financial statements are comprised of the
basic financial statements, which include all revenue and expenses and required supplementary
information, which reflects changes in employer's share of net pension liability and employer's
contributions, along with the schedule of changes in the Airport's other post-employment benefits(OPEB)
liability and related ratios.
Basic Financial Statements. The Basic Financial Statements are made up of four components: (1)
Statement of Net Position; (2) Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position; (3)
Statement of Cash Flows; and (4) Notes to Financial Statements. These are designed to provide readers
with a broad overview of the Airport's finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as
promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board(GASB).
Required Supplementary Information. Required supplementary information consists of the Schedule of
the Airport's Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability for the Florida Retirement System's (FRS)
Pension Plan and the Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) programs; the Schedule of the Airport's
Contributions for FRS' Pension Plan and HIS programs, and the Schedule of Changes in the Airport's
total OPEB liability and related ratios.

Airport's Net Position (in thousands)
The following is a condensed summary of Net Position compared to the prior year.
Summary of Net Position
September 30,2024 and 2023
(000's)
2024 2023
Current and Other Assets $ 85,855 $ 98,763

Deferred Outflows of Resources 1,690 1,490
Current Liabilities 9,891 6,465
Long-Term Liabilities 59,032 48,793
Total Liabilities 68,923 55,258
Deferred Inflows of Resources 16,654 23,405
Net Position:
Net Investment in Capital Assets 165,932 124,970
Restricted for Passenger Facility Charges 6,146 3,878
Unrestricted 24,419 43,249
Total Net Position $ 196,497 $ 172,097
In FY 2024, activities for the Airport increased total assets by $31.26 million, decreased deferred outflows
of resources by almost $.20 million, increased total liabilities by $13.67 million, decreased deferred
inflows of resources by $6.75 million and increased total net position by $24.40 million as compared to
September 30, 2023.
Net investment in capital assets is the largest portion of net position. This represents capital assets net of
accumulated depreciation and outstanding debt used to acquire assets. The net investment in capital asset
balance increased $40.96 million, or 32.80%, in comparison to the prior year. This increase is primarily
due to the on-going construction of the Airport's new second-level Concourse A terminal building.
The restricted net position increased $2.27 million, or 58.50% from FY 2023. This balance represents
assets that are subject to external restrictions imposed by creditors, through bond covenants, by grantors,
or by law on how they are used. In FY 2024 and FY 2023, the Airport's net position was restricted for
Passenger Facility Charges (PFC).
The remaining component of net position is unrestricted net position. Unrestricted net position may be
used to meet the Airport's ongoing obligations. The Airport's unrestricted net position balance decreased
$18.83 million, or -43.50% in comparison to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction
in the amounts due from other governments as well as the draw down of$10 million from the Airport's
line of credit. Grant funding from other governments and the proceeds of the line of credit are both used
for the on-going construction of the Airport's Concourse A terminal building.
C-2
Airport Changes in Net Position (in thousands)
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position separately describe operating
revenues and operating expenses by logical categories; non-operating revenues made up of interest, PFC
reimbursements; operating grants, and capital contributions. The following table summarizes the changes
in net position for the current and previous fiscal years.
The Airport's total operating and non-operating revenues including capital contributions of almost$21.62
million exceeded total operating and non-operating expenses resulting in an increase in net position of
$24.41 million. A summary of revenues and expenses follows:

Airport's salaries, wages, and benefits decreased 7.21%. Other expense categories decreased during FY

Passenger Facility Charges
In 1992, the Board passed Resolution 357-1992 to allow the Airport to participate in the FAA's PFC
program. The purpose for establishing and implementing the PFC program was to ensure that the Airport's
passengers contribute to a greater degree toward the continued development of the Airport's facilities.
Initially, the FAA allowed the Airport to impose a PFC of $3.00 per eligible enplaned passenger but
increased this amount to $4.50 per eligible enplaned passenger in 2003.
The FAA oversees each public airport's PFC program by requiring each airport to apply to the FAA for
authority to impose a PFC for use on eligible projects. Opened and approved PFC-funded projects in FY
2024 included $1.2 million for the Phase 3B Customs & Border Projection projects; and $0.2 million to
replace the airport beacon.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, increased by almost $44 million. Major capital outlay
spending in FY 2024 included $47.6 million bringing the total for the following capital projects which
continue to be classified as construction-in-progress as of September 30, 2024:
• Concourse A Terminal Expansion $80,395,925
• Taxi Rehab Taxiway A 11,854,466
• Fixed Base Operator(FBO)Parking Lot Access Road Design 4,686,202

Debt Administration
In September 2022, the Airport issued its Series 2022 Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Revenue Bonds
totaling $42,459,929, including unamortized original issue premium to be used to finance and re-finance
the costs associated with the Airport's Concourse A expansion project. The Airport pledged eligible PFC
revenue and its available net revenues for repaying this debt. In addition, the Airport was issued a non-
revolving line-of-credit taxable revenue note not to exceed $10 million to be used to acquire, construct,
and equip various capital improvements at the Airport in connection with the terminal expansion project.
At September 30'', the Airport had drawn down the full $10 million from the line-of-credit. The Airport
pledged a portion of its future Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Entitlement Grants for fiscal years
2023 and 2024 and all AIP entitlement funds for fiscal years 2026 through 2028 along with the Federal
fiscal year 2026 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grants and any BIL, discretionary grants the Airport
may receive between fiscal years 2024 through 2028 for the repayment of the revenue bonds.

Airline Rates and Charges
The Airport negotiated a new airline use agreement with participating airlines (referred to as Signatory
Airlines), with key terms of the agreement approved by the Board. The Agreements commenced on
October 1, 2021, with a five-year term, expiring on September 30, 2026.
Rates for fees paid by airlines are adjusted annually in accordance with the methodology set forth in the
agreement. After proposing a schedule of rates for fees and charges for the upcoming fiscal year, the
Airport meets with the Signatory Airlines to agree upon a Final Statement of Rates. The Final Statement
of Rates is calculated based on the Airport's budget for the upcoming fiscal year. No later than May 3 1"
of each year,the Airport uses the agreed-upon rate and fee schedule to recalculate the rates for the previous
fiscal year using actual financial data in order to provide the airlines with a final settlement amount either
due to the Airport or the Airline, if any.
Landing fees are calculated based upon the total maximum weight of passenger and cargo aircraft per
1,000 pounds times the landing fee rate. Terminal rents are calculated using a commercial compensatory
method (i.e., rentable square foot divisor). Charges for the leasing of all terminal space will be assessed
on a square-footage basis. In FY 2024, the Signatory Airlines paid the Airport over $8.8 million.
Economic Factors and Budget Highlights
The following factors were considered for the Airport's budget preparation:
• The total adopted FY 2024 operating budget of almost 200% from the previous fiscal year was
due to construction of the Airport's new second-level Concourse A terminal building.
• Increases in personnel costs were the result of increased staffing as well as annual cost-of-living
and merit adjustments.
• Budgeted operating expenses remained relatively flat and are on target in FY 2025.
Requests for Information
This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Airport's finances for all those with
an interest in its finances. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or requests
for additional information should be addressed to the Finance Director, Monroe County Clerk of the
Courts and Comptroller, 500 Whitehead Street, Key West, Florida 33040.

statements and should be viewed as an integral part of this report.
Reporting Entity:
Monroe County,Florida(County)is a Non-Charter County established as provided by Article VIII Section

Collector.
The Board,composed of five members, acts as a local legislative and executive body,setting public policy,
levying taxes, and funding projects, programs, and the operations of county departments. The Board
appoints a county administrator to carry out the Board's policies and decisions. The Airport, a county
department, is managed by the Senior Director of Airports who reports directly to the county
administrator. Under the direction of the Clerk, the Monroe County Finance Department maintains the
accounting system for the Board's operations, including the Airport's operations.
Entity status for financial reporting purposes is governed by Statement No. 14, as amended. The Airport
is not operationally autonomous from the Board. Therefore, under GASB guidelines, the Airport is
reported as a part of the Board's financial operations. The financial statements of the Board, when

government" of Monroe County according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for

financial position, or where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to timing of the measurements made, regardless of the
measurement focus applied. The Airport's financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses
are recorded when a liability is incurred,regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all the eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor have

runways, terminal buildings, aprons, lighting systems). Constructed or purchased assets are recorded at
historical or estimated historical cost at the time of purchase. Donated assets are recorded at estimated
acquisition value at the date of donation.
The Board requires the Airportto maintain a$1,000 threshold for additions to equipmentwith an estimated
useful life in excess of two years. Buildings are capitalized when the value is $15,000 or greater. Public
domain and infrastructure assets represent major expenditures for such items as roads, runways, aprons,
and drainage systems. Additions and improvements for infrastructure are capitalized when the cost
amounts to $250,000.
Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the various
classes of depreciable capital assets are as follows: buildings— 10 to 50 years; equipment—5 to 10 years;
intangible assets—10 to 15 years; and infrastructure—10 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expenses as incurred.

NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Management evaluates whether there has been significant unexpected decline in the utility of a capital
asset that could indicate an impairment in the capital asset. If there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired, the Airport follows Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 42,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries, to
determine whether an impairment should be recognized. The Airport concluded that no impairment
occurred for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Leased Assets and Subscription-Based Software:
The Airport is the lessee for leases of equipment. When the term for the leased equipment exceeds one
year and has annual payments in excess of $50,000, the Airport has recognized intangible right-to-use
lease assets (lease assets) in the financial statements. Similarly,the Airport recognizes subscription-based
information technology arrangements (SBITA)for the right-to-use information technology software if the
total subscription exceeds $50,000.
The leased assets and SBITA are measured at the start of the lease or subscription as the initial amount of
the lease or subscription liability, adjusted for lease or subscription payments made at or before the lease
or subscription commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the leased asset or
SBITA is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases and SBITA include how the Airport determines the discount
rate it uses to discount the expected lease or subscription payments to present value, lease term and lease
payments. The Airport uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest
rate is not provided, the Airport uses the County's estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount
rate for leases. The lease or subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease
payments or subscription payments included in the measurement of the lease or SBITA liability are
composed of fixed payments and a purchase price option that the Board is reasonably certain to exercise.
The Airport monitors changes in circumstances that would require remeasurement of its leases and SBITA
and will remeasure the related assets and liabilities if certain changes occur that are expected to
significantly affect the amount of the lease or SBITA liability.
Compensated Absences:
Board policy permits employees to accumulate a limited amount of annual and sick leave, which will be
paid to employees upon termination of employment. Accumulated annual and sick leave is accrued when
earned. An expense and a liability are recorded as the leave is earned.

NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Restricted Assets:
The use of certain assets is restricted by specific provisions of resolutions and agreements with various
parties. Assets so designated are identified as restricted assets on the balance sheet. When both restricted
and unrestricted resources are available for use, the hierarchy of Airport spending is to use restricted
resources first, followed by unrestricted resources, as they are needed. Restricted assets are classified as
noncurrent if they are for acquisition or construction of capital assets, for liquidation of long-term debt, or
are for other than current operations.
Deferred Inflows of Resources:
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and
therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. The Airport has three items that
qualify for reporting in this category: (1)Pension-related items; (2) Other Post-Employment Benefits; and
(3) Leases. The Airport reports deferred inflows for pension-related and other post-employment benefit
items as actuarially determined.
Deferred Outflows of Resources:
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and
therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that future time. The Airport
reports deferred outflows for pension-related and other post-employment benefit items as actuarially
determined.
Lone-Term Obligations:
Long-term obligations are reported as a liability in the Airport's statement of net position. Net pension
liabilities and the total OPEB liability are determined based on actuarial valuations. See Notes 6, 7 and 10
for additional information.
Net Position:
Net position in the Airport's financial statements is classified into three categories:
• Net investment in capital assets —This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation,reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages,notes, or
other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those
assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of debt
attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital
assets. Rather, that portion of the debt is included in the same net position component as the
unspent proceeds.

NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
• Restricted net position—This component of net position consists of amounts which have external
constraints placed on their use imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors,
contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Unrestricted net position — This component consists of net position that does not meet the
definition of"net investment in capital assets" or"restricted net position."
Revenue Recognition:
Passenger Facility Charge Revenue: The Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101-508, Title 11, Subtitle B) authorized the imposition of a local Passenger Facility Charge (PFC)
and use of the resulting PFC revenues for approved Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)projects. On
July 16, 1992, the Board passed Resolution 357-1992 directing the Airport to apply to the FAA to allow
the Airport to collect and expend PFC revenue. A $4.50 PFC charge is imposed on enplaning passengers
for the purpose of generating resources for airport projects that increase capacity,increase safety, security,
or that mitigate noise impacts. PFCs may be collected one application at a time and must be collected in
consecutive order of their approval. The excess (deficit) of amounts collected over amounts expended in
each year is recorded as capital contributions in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Change in Net
Position. Cumulative amounts collected, yet unexpended at September 30, are reflected as net position
restricted for passenger facility projects in the Statement of Net Position.
Airfield Landing Fees: Landing fees are principally generated from scheduled passenger and cargo
carriers, as well as non-scheduled commercial aviation, and are based on maximum landed weight of the
aircraft. The estimated landing fee structure is determined annually pursuant to an agreement between the
Airport and each of the Signatory Airlines based on the Certified Gross Weight of the aircraft landed.
Landing fees are recognized as revenue when activity is completed.
Terminal Rents, Airline Rents, Car Rental, Parking, and Concessions: Rental and concession fees are
generated from airlines,parking facilities, food and beverage operations, rental car agencies, advertisers,
and other commercial tenants. Each October 1, the Airport adjusts charges for leases sufficient to recover
the cost of operations (excluding certain debt service payments), maintenance, and debt service related to
the airfield and the space rented by the airlines. The rates and charges may also be adjusted by the Airport
if, at any time during the fiscal year, rates are expected to vary by more than 10% from established rates.
Grant Revenue and Capital Contributions: Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as
all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
Effective October 1, 2023, the Board adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated
Absences. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement
users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is
achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending
certain previously required disclosures.

For the Year Ended September 30, 2024
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The following are new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective:
GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures - The State and local governments face a variety of
risks that could negatively affect the level of service they provide or their ability to meet obligations as
they come due. Although governments are required to disclose information about their exposure to some
of those risks, essential information about other risks that are prevalent among state and local governments
is not routinely disclosed because it is not explicitly required. The objective of this Statement is to provide
users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government's
vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints.
This Statement defines a concentration as a lack of diversity related to an aspect of a significant inflow of
resources or outflow of resources. A constraint is a limitation imposed on a government by an external
party or by formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making authority. Concentrations
and constraints may limit a government's ability to acquire resources or control spending. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for the Airport beginning with its year ending September 30,
2025.
GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements - The requirements of GASB 103
should improve the effectiveness of the financial statements in communicating essential information to
financial statement users. The new definition of nonoperating revenues and expenses, for example, will
greatly reduce diversity in practice among governments and enable users to better evaluate the results
from operations for proprietary funds. The replacing of extraordinary items and special items with unusual
or infrequent items should provide more value to stakeholders as the definition of"unusual in nature" and
"infrequent in occurrence"is consistent with GASB 62. Changes to management's discussion and analysis
will benefit users through the avoidance of unnecessary duplication and "boilerplate" discussion and
placing a greater emphasis on providing a detailed analysis of a government's financial activities. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for the Airport beginning with its year ending September 30,
2026.
GASB Statement No. 104,Disclosure ofCertain Capital Assets - State and local governments are required
to provide detailed information about capital assets in notes to financial statements. Statement No. 34,
Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local
Governments, requires certain information regarding capital assets to be presented by major class. The
objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential
information about certain types of capital assets. This Statement also requires additional disclosures for
capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital asset held for sale if(a)the government has decided
to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is probable that the sale will be finalized within one year
of the financial statement date. Governments should consider relevant factors to evaluate the likelihood
of the capital asset being sold within the established time frame. This Statement requires that capital assets
held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. The requirements of this Statement are effective for the
Airport beginning with its year ending September 30, 2026.
Management is in the process of determining what impact, if any, implementation of the above statements
may have on the financial statements of the Airport.

NOTE 2 —CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS,AND INVESTMENTS
All funds of the Airport are invested with the Board's cash and investment pool, which consists of the
Board's cash and investments. Except for cash and investments restricted for specific purposes, there are
no restrictions on the Airport's ability to withdraw funds from the Board's pool, so all amounts are
considered cash and cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value, based on the
Airport's investment portion of the fair value of the Board's pooled investments. The Board's investment
pool is not rated.
The Board categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP.
The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs
are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 inputs are either directly or
indirectly observable for an asset(including quoted prices for similar assets), which may include inputs
in markets that are not considered active. Level 3 inputs securities are significant unobservable inputs.
Securities classified in Level 2 are evaluated prices from the custodian bank's primary external pricing
vendors. The pricing methodology involves the use of evaluation models such as matrix pricing which is
based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Other evaluation models use actual trade
data, collateral attributes, broker bids, new issue pricings and other observable market information.
FLCLASS is a government investment pool that offers daily liquidity. There are no restrictions or
limitations on withdrawals; however, FLCLASS may, on the occurrence of an event that has a material
impact on liquidity or operations, impose restrictions on withdrawals for up to 48 hours.
Please see Monroe County's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for further detail on the County's
pooled deposits and investments with their respective credit ratings.
Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk — The Board approved and adopted its Investment Policy
(Policy) in January 2019. The Policy outlines permitted investments, and establishes limitations on
portfolio composition, by both investment type and by issuer, in order to control concentration of credit
risk. The following table identifies the investment requirements and allocation limits on security types,
issuers, and maturities as established by the County.
Under the Policy, the Clerk has the option to further restrict investment percentages from time to time
based on market conditions, risk, and diversification strategies. The percentage allocation requirements
for investment types and issuers are calculated based on the original cost at the time of purchase of each
investment.

NOTE 4 —LEASES RECEIVABLE (continued)
In addition, the Airport has entered into lease agreements with various aeronautical users for the use of
hangar space,air cargo space,and aircraft aprons for its business-type activities. These leases are classified
as regulated leases under GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, as they are subject to external regulations by
the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA),which limits lease rates to a reasonable amount as determined
by federal guidelines. The Airport has applied the regulated lease provisions of GASB 87, which do not
require recognition of a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources for these arrangements. Instead,
inflows of resources are recognized based on the payment provisions of the lease contracts.
As of September 30, 2024, the Airport entered into ten leases with multiple aeronautical users under
exclusive and preferential user agreements. The agreements range in term from 5 to 30 years,with options
to extend subject to FAA approval and mutual consent.
For FY 2024, the Airport recognized total inflows from regulated leases of $9,456,192 consisting of
$1,426,473 in base lease revenue and $8,029,719 in variable payments. The variable payments relate to
payments for utilities, fuel flow, landing, and security fees, all of which are not included in the
measurement of a lease receivable under standard GASB 87 provisions. These amounts are reported in
the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position and are included within other rents. The

NOTE 6—POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
General Information about the Other Post-Employment Benefits:
Plan Description — The Board administers a single-employer defined benefits healthcare plan (Plan).
Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, requires the County to provide retirees and their eligible dependents
with the option to participate in the Plan if the County provides health insurance to its active employees
and their eligible dependents. The Plan provides medical coverage, prescription drug benefits, and life
insurance to both active and eligible retired employees. The Plan does not issue a publicly available
financial report.No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria as set forth in GASB Statement
No. 75.
The Board may amend the plan design,with changes to the benefits,premiums and/or levels of participant
contribution at any time. In an open session, on at least an annual basis and prior to the annual enrollment
process,the Board approves the rates for the coming calendar year for the retiree and County contributions.
The Plan includes participants from the Board and each Constitutional Officer. The Board is responsible
for funding all obligations not funded on a pay-as-you-go basis by Constitutional Officers. However, the
following disclosures are based on the Airport's share of the total Other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB) obligation.
Benefits Provided — Employees who retire as active participants in the Plan and were hired on or after
October 1, 2001, may continue to participate in the Plan by paying the monthly premium established
annually by the Board. Employees who retire as active participants in the Plan,were hired before October
1, 2001, have at least ten years of full-time service with the Board and meet the retirement criteria of the
Florida Retirement System(FRS)but are not eligible for Medicare,may maintain group insurance benefits
with the Board following retirement, provided that the retiring employee pays the retiree contributions
based on their years of service with Monroe County.Pre-Medicare retirees with at least 25 years of service
who satisfy the rule of 70 pay the FRS subsidy for coverage, which is $7.50 per year of service month
with a maximum of$225 per month. For those with 10 or more years of service, the retirees will pay flat
amounts based on their respective medical plan election as shown in the following table.
Pre-Medicare Retiree Contribution
Years of Traditional High Deductible
Service Health Plan Health Plan
10-19 $517 $433

Retirees who have met the requirements for early retirement,have not achieved age 60 and whose age and
years of service do not equal 70 (rule of 70)must pay the standard monthly premium until the age criteria
or the rule of 70 is met. At that time,the retiree's cost of participation will be based on the preceding table.
Surviving spouses and dependents of participating retirees may continue in the Plan if eligibility criteria
specific to those classes are met.

An employee who retires as an active participant in the Plan, was hired prior to October 1, 2001, has at
least ten years of full-time service with the County, and meets the retirement criteria of the FRS and is
eligible for Medicare at the time of retirement or becomes eligible for Medicare following retirement,may
maintain group health insurance benefits with the County following retirement, provided the retiring
employee contributes the Actuarial Rate for Medicare retirees as determined by the actuarial firm engaged
by the County, less a $250 per month County subsidy. Alternatively, retirees meeting these criteria may
elect to leave the County health plan and receive a$250 per month payment from the County,payable for
the lifetime of the retiree.
Spouses and retirees who do not have at least ten years of service with the County or whose age at
retirement plus years of service do not equal at least 70 must pay the full monthly premium for coverage.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms — Eligibility for post-employment participation in the Plan is

121 and 112,Florida Statutes,the FRS provides two cost sharing,multiple employer defined benefit plans
administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, including the
FRS Pension Plan (Pension Plan) and the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS Plan). Under Section
121.4501,Florida Statutes,the FRS also provides a defined contribution plan(Investment Plan)alternative
to the FRS Pension Plan,which is administered by the State Board of Administration(SBA). As a general
rule membership in the FRS is compulsory for all employees working in a regularly established position
for a state agency, county government, district school board, state university, community college, or a
participating city or special district within the State of Florida. The FRS provides retirement and disability
benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments,and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.Benefits
are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code.
Amendments to the law can be made only by an act of the Florida State Legislature.
The State of Florida annually issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements

NOTE 7—FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM RETIREMENT PLANS (continued)
Benefits Provided — Benefits under the Pension Plan are computed on the basis of age, average final
compensation, and service credit. For Pension Plan members enrolled before July 1, 2011, Regular class
members who retire at or after age 62 with at least six years of credited service or 30 years of service
regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 1.6% of their final
average compensation based on the five highest years of salary, for each year of credited service. Vested
members with less than 30 years of service may retire before age 62 and receive reduced retirement
benefits. All Airport employees are regular class member in the FRS.
For Plan members enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the vesting requirement is extended to eight years of
credited service for all these members and increasing normal retirement to age 65 or 33 years of service
regardless of age for Regular class members. Also, the final average compensation for regular members
will be based on the eight highest years of salary.
As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the Pension Plan
before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-living
adjustment is 3% per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service
credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The annual
cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3% determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011
service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3%. Plan members initially enrolled
on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
In addition to the above benefits, the DROP program allows eligible members to defer receipt of monthly
retirement benefit payments while continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed
96 months after electing to participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and
accrue interest. There are no required contributions by DROP participants.
Contributions —Effective July 1, 2011, all enrolled members of the FRS, other than DROP participants,
are required to contribute 3%of their salary to the FRS.In addition to member contributions,governmental
employers are required to make contributions to the FRS based on state-wide contribution rates established
by the Florida Legislature. These rates are updated as of July 1 of each year. The employer contribution
rates by job class for the periods from October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and from July 1, 2024
through September 30, 2024, respectively, were as follows: Regular13.57% and 13.63%; and DROP

outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions on the accrual basis of
accounting. At September 30, 2024, the Airport reported a liability of $3,849,845 for its proportionate
share of the Pension Plan's net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30,
2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2024. The Board's proportionate share of the net pension liability was
based on the Board's FY 2024 contributions relative to the FY 2024 contributions of all participating
members. At June 30, 2024, the Board's proportionate share for all funds 0.13808%, which was an
increase of 0.004341% from its proportionate share measured as of June 30, 2023. Approximately 7.21%

Actuarial Assumptions — The total pension liability in the June 30, 2024 actuarial valuation was
determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.40%
Salary increases 3.50%, average, including inflation
Investment rate of return 6.70%, net of pension plan investment
expense, including inflation
Mortality rates were based on the PUB2010 base table varies by member category and sex, projected
generationally with Scale MP-2021 details in the valuation report.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2023, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial
experience study for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2023 and were the assumptions used to
determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2024.
The long-term expected rate of return remained at 6.70%, and the active member mortality assumption
was updated.
The long-term expected rate of return on Pension Plan investments was not based on historical returns,
but instead is based on a forward-looking capital market economic model. The allocation policy's
description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the asset classes shown below.
Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and includes an
adjustment for the inflation assumption. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic and

Contributions — The HIS Plan is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as
set by the Florida Legislature. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all
active FRS members. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the HIS contribution for the period
October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and from July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024 was 2.0% and

payments are authorized. HIS Plan benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative
appropriation. In the event legislative appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy benefits
to all participants, benefits may be reduced or cancelled.
The Airport's contributions to the HIS Plan totaled $73,784 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions—The basis of accounting and financial reporting of the Airport's HIS Plan
is identical to that of the Airport's Pension Plan. At September 30, 2024, the Airport reported a liability
of$1,149,686 for its proportionate share of the Board's HIS Plan's net pension liability. The net pension
liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension
liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2024. The Board's proportionate share of
the net pension liability was based on the Board's FY 2024 contributions relative to the FY 2024
contributions of all participating members. At June 30, 2024, the Board's proportionate share of all funds

The municipal rate used to determine total pension liability increased from 3.65%to 3.93%.
Discount Rate — The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 3.93%. In general, the
discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single rate equivalent to discounting
at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to the projected depletion date. Because
the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, the depletion date is considered to be
immediate, and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond rate selected by the HIS
Plan sponsor. The Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index was adopted as the

Investment Plan:
The SBA administers the defined contribution plan officially titled the FRS Investment Plan. The
Investment Plan is reported in the SBA's annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report.
As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate in the
Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. Airport employees participating in DROP
are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contributions, including
amounts contributed to individual member's accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate benefit
depends in part on the performance of investment funds. Benefit terms, including contribution
requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amended by the Florida Legislature.
The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and employee contribution rates that are based
on salary and membership class, as the Pension Plan. Contributions are directed to individual member
accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account balances among various
approved investment choices. Costs of administering the Investment Plan, including the FRS Financial
Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of 0.04% and 0.06% of payroll and
by forfeited benefits of plan members for the periods October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and from
July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024, respectively. Allocations to an investment member's accounts
during the F Y 2024, as established by Section 121.72, Florida Statutes, are based on a percentage of
gross compensation, by membership class. For Regular members this was 11.30%.

NOTE 7—FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM RETIREMENT PLANS (continued)
For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are vested
after one year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated benefit
obligation for service credit originally earned under the Pension Plan is transferred to the Investment
Plan, the member must have the years of service required for Pension Plan vesting(including the service
credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds.
Non-vested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to five years. If the employee
returns to FRS-covered employment within the five-year period, the employee will regain control over
their account. If the employee does not return within the five-year period, the employee will forfeit
the accumulated account balance. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the information for
the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these
amounts, if any, would be immaterial to the Airport.
After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another
qualified plan, stricture a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a hump sum distribution,
leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these options. Disability
coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the Pension Plan when
approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits under the Pension
Plan or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for retirement income.
The Airport's total recognized pension expense for the Investment Plan for the fiscal year ended

Monroe County updated its lease policy effective October 1, 2023, requiring capitalization of leases in
accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, Leases only if lease term has a value of $50,000 or more.
Because of the updated policy, the Airport no longer has reportable lease obligations. The Airport leases
photocopiers under cancelable arrangements valued less than $50,000 and therefore, qualify as other than
short-term leases under GASB Statement No. 87, Leases.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners entered into a noncancelable agreement that

NOTE 11 —RISK MANAGEMENT
The Airport is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort;theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Airport participates in the coverage
provided by the Board for Workers' Compensation, Group Insurance, and Risk Management Internal
Service Funds.
Under these programs, Workers' Compensation provides $500,000 coverage per claim for regular
employees. Workers' Compensation claims in excess of the self-insured coverage are covered by an
excess insurance policy. Risk Management has a$5,000,000 excess insurance policy for general liability
claims with a $200,000 self-insured retention, and building property damage is covered for the actual
value of the building with a deductible of$50,000. Deductibles for windstorm and flood vary by location.
Monroe County purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the funds
and for all other risks of loss. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the
past three years.
The Airport makes payments to the County's Workers' Compensation, Group Insurance and Risk
Management Funds based on estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims.
NOTE 12 —LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
The Airport is a parry from time to time in various lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary
course of its operation, some of which are covered by the Board's self-insurance program. While the
results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Airport's financial position.
NOTE 13 —COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Grant Programs — The Airport participates in a number of federal and state grant programs that are
governed by various rules and regulations of the grantor agencies. Amounts received or receivable from
grant agencies are subject to financial and compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. Any
disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds.
The amount, if any, which may be disallowed by the grantor, cannot be determined at this time, although
the Airport expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

financial assistance. Federal agencies have been tasked with reviewing their federal programs to ensure
they align with the President's policy priorities. The Airport receives various federal grants and payments
that could be subject to the abovementioned executive orders. The Airport does not believe any loss of
funding would be material to its financial statements, however the implication of these executive orders
is not fully known at the date these financial statements were issued.

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
Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Board of County Commissioners
Monroe County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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 (Government Auditing Standards), the financial
statements of the Key West International Airport (the Airport), an enterprise fund of Monroe County,
Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Airport's basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated April 9, 2025. The Airport's financial statements include an emphasis-of-matter
paragraph related to the restatement of the beginning net position and beginning balances for leases and
interest receivable and deferred inflow of resources as of October 1, 2023. Our report was not modified
with respect to this matter.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Airport's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Airport's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Airport's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that were not identified. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item IC 2024-001, that we consider to be a
material weakness.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Airport's financial statements are free from
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 financial statements. 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 no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Airport's Response to Finding
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Airport's
response to the finding identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. The Airport's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
Financial Statement Finding
IC 2024-001 —Restatement of Regulated Leases
Criteria: Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error. Internal control policies and procedures should provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of the financial reporting and disclosure of lease balances.
Condition: We noted that material accounting adjustments were made to the financial statements for
lease related balances in the Key West Airport enterprise fund (the Airport). During the current year,
management discovered regulated leases primarily related to fixed-base operators that were previously
reported as leases receivable and deferred inflow of resources that should not have been reported in
accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases, (GASB 87).
This resulted in the restatement of beginning net position and beginning balances for leases receivable,
interest receivable and deferred inflow of resources for the Airport.
Context: The condition relates to the proper accounting and financial reporting for regulated leases by the
Airport on an ongoing basis.
Cause: The Airport has multiple leases with various third parties and inadvertently recognized regulated
leases that are excluded from GASB 87.
Effect:The October 1, 2023 net position and beginning balances for leases receivable, interest
receivable and deferred inflow of resources were restated.
Current Year Recommendation: We recommend that management review the design of established
controls and implement the changes necessary to allow for the accurate recording and disclosure of accounting
transactions on an ongoing basis.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: We agree with the finding. The
County will conduct a review of all Airport lease agreements to verify proper classification of leases as
regulated or non-regulated. As part of this review, the County will also review all the County's leases that
meet the requirements for financial statement reporting under GASB Statement No. 87, Leases to verify
that all minimal annual guarantees as well as other detailed provisions that could impact the calculation of
lease receivables, deferred inflow of resources, and interest receivable are appropriately captured in the
software program used for recording leases.
