March 16,2022
To the Honorable Mayor,
Members of the Village Council
And Citizens of the Village of Tequesta, Florida
We are pleased to submit the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the Village of Tequesta, Florida
(the Village), for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
This report provides the Village's Council, staff, our citizens, and other interested parties with detailed
information concerning the financial condition and activities of the Village government. State law requires
that all general-purpose local governments annually publish a complete set of financial statements within
nine months of the close of each fiscal year. The financial statements are presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and government auditing standards by an independent auditing firm.
We believe that this report complies with these requirements and continues to present the Village's strong
tradition of full financial disclosure. This philosophy is reflected by the informative financial analysis, the
exhibits and statistical tables included herein.
The role of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is to assist in making economic, social and political
decisions and to assist in assessing accountability to the citizenry by:
• Comparing actual financial results with the legally adopted budget, where appropriate;
•Assessing financial condition and results of operations;
•Assisting in determining compliance with finance related laws, rules and regulations; and
•Assisting in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of Village operations.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the management of the Village. We believe the data, as
presented, is accurate in all material respects; that it is presented in a manner designed to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of the Village; and that all disclosures necessary to enable the
reader to gain an understanding of the Village's financial activity have been included.
Mauldin & Jenkins, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the
Village of Tequesta's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The independent
auditors' report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis(MD&A)immediately follows the independent auditors' report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
Profile
The Village of Tequesta, Florida is a municipal corporation organized on June 4, 1957 pursuant to Special
Act 57-1915, Laws of Florida. It is approximately 2 square miles and is located in northern Palm Beach
County, Florida. It is almost completely built-out/developed.
The Village's growth potential is restricted by the natural boundaries of the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the
Loxahatchee River to the west, the Town of Jupiter to the south and Martin County to the north.
It is empowered by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it has done from time
to time.
The Village has a Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are
vested in an elected governing body of the Village consisting of a five-member Village Council. Council
members are elected at large and select a Mayor at their first organizational meeting each year. Council
members serve two-year terms, with three members elected every other year. The Village Council appoints
the Village manager, who is responsible for hiring all Village employees.
Services Provided
The Village provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; building inspections;
licenses and permits; the construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure, recreational and
cultural activities, water utility services, storm water operations and contracts for residential refuse and
recycling services.
Accounting and Internal Control
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that
adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
ii
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The internal control structure is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived; and(2)the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Single Audit
As a recipient of federal, state and county financial assistance,the Village is also responsible for ensuring
that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and
regulations related to those programs. The Village was subject to an audit in accordance with the Uniform
Guidance or the Florida Single Audit Act for the fiscal year ended September 30,2021 under the provisions
of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement(Uniform Guidance)and the Rules
of the Auditor General, State of Florida. The information related to the Single Audit,including the schedule
of expenditure of federal awards and state projects,schedule of findings and questioned costs,and auditors'
reports on the internal control over compliance and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are
included in a separate report. This report disclosed no instances of material weaknesses in internal control
over financial reporting and over compliance, or significant violations of applicable laws and regulations.
Budgetary Controls
The Council is required to adopt an initial budget prior to the beginning of the fiscal year October 1. In
accordance with state laws the Approved Budget is posted on the Village's website within 30 days of
adoption. This annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village of Tequesta's financial planning and
control. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied
in the annual appropriated budget approved by the Village's governing body. Activities of the General Fund,
Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Project Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. The
budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., police) and is adopted by
fund total. Departments may transfer resources within a department with the approval of the budget officer
and the Village Manager. Transfers between departments require budget amendments be approved by the
Village Council. The legal level of budgetary control is therefore at the department level.
The Village maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary
control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year-end. However, encumbrances generally are re-appropriated as
part of the following year's budget adoption.
Local Economy and COVID-19 impact
The Village,located in Palm Beach County,which is the third most populous county in the State of Florida
(approximately 1.5 million residents). The latest population estimate prepared by the Bureau of Economic
and Business Research,University of Florida indicates that the current population of the Village of Tequesta
is 6,152. Tequesta is home to middle to upper-income suburban families; has a small commercial area and
no major industries located within its boundaries.It is home to a number of assisted living facilities,private
schools and a high-end treatment center.
Below is a new forecast for the state's economy by Florida Economic Estimating Conference met on
December 20, 2021.
COVID-19 economic disruption will still be evident over the next few years, however, the new forecast
solidifies the outlook for a sustained recovery from the pandemic. While all Florida industries were
impacted by the pandemic, Florida's leisure and hospitality industry has a longer-term impact. The total
number of tourists declined nearly 70% from the prior year in the second quarter of 2020. After that
dramatic drop, tourism managed to recover to 96%of the last full pre-COVII) quarter by the third quarter
of calendar year 2021. The Conference expects growth during Fiscal Year 2021-22,with a projected overall
increase of 36%from the extremely suppressed level in Fiscal Year 2020-21.
iii
The Conference highlighted the substantial risk arising from the current inflationary pressures on its outlook
for consumer spending.
The State's unemployment rate dropped to 5.1% by December 2020 and 4.5% by November 2021. The
Conference expects it to average 4.3%in Fiscal Year 2021-22. The rate continues its downward drift until
it reaches 3.4%in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 fiscal years, after which it slowly rises to plateau at 4%.
Another important element of a state's economic health is personal income growth. In the first quarter of
the 2021 calendar year, Florida's personal income growth shot up 65.10/o, largely due to two different
federal stimulus and relief programs converging in the quarter. As the federal support measures began to
expire, the state's personal income plummeted to an annualized -19.6%in the second quarter of the 2021
calendar year to produce a final growth rate for the 2020-21 fiscal year of 7.5%,the highest rate since 2015.
Thereafter, annual growth rates are expected to remain solidly at or above 4%.
The housing market thrived as the federal funds rate neared zero and pushed interest rates to historical lows.
Housing starts grew by 21% in Fiscal Year 2020-21, and they are projected to grow by another 5.6% in
Fiscal Year 2021-22. Tequesta continues to see a positive increase in property values. Per the Palm Beach
County Property Appraiser's Office, gross taxable value for calculating ad valorem proceeds increased
from $1.173 billion during fiscal year 2020 to $1.227 billion used to calculate fiscal year 2021 revenues.
Long-Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
The continued goal of the Village is to maintain a consistently high quality of services to the residents,
while protecting the assets,the level of service and the quality of life that the residents have come to expect.
It is the result of hard work by the Village staff, and fiscally sound, responsible decisions by the Village
Council that allows the Village to meet service demands while minimizing the financial burden on its
residents. The Village is very fortunate to have a citizenry that is active on many boards and committees, a
working staff that has shown its willingness to take on additional responsibilities, an expanded workload
and perhaps most importantly, a Village Council that is very responsive to the needs of the residents and
staff and who donate so much of their time to this community.
The Village's primary focus is providing exceptional municipal services to its residents in the most efficient
and cost effective manner possible. Continued economic challenges require innovative approaches on both
sides of the balance sheet. Efforts to expand contractual services to generate additional revenue should
continue to be considered.
The Village continues to explore grant funding opportunities and partnerships in an effort to control cost
while improving services and equipment.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
• Continue to explore alternative revenue sources, at both the state and federal level, with the
assistance of grant writers and other professional consultant services.
• Develop long-term funding strategy for Parks and Green Spaces.
• Strengthen our relationships with local businesses to recruit and retain businesses in the Village.
• Plan and fund long-term Building Maintenance program.
• Develop a sustainable business plan for the new Recreation Center.
• Progress annual street maintenance program.
• Make upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant,which includes energy conservation projects,
to provide safe, reliable, cost-effective and environmentally responsible potable water.
• Maintain a reliable drinking water supply by rehabilitating upper Floridian aquifer wells
and construct a new surficial well.
• To advance a long-range plan for the replacement of the aging water distribution system.
iv
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Village for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2020. This was the thirty-ninth consecutive year that the Village has received
this prestigious award. The Village must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual
comprehensive financial report. This report satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. We believe that our current annual
comprehensive financial report will continue to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of
the entire staff of the Village's finance department as well as the support of the other Village departments.
Special appreciation is also extended to Ms.Tatiana Racanati,Assistant Finance Director,whose dedicated
service made the completion of this report all the more possible.
In closing, we must also acknowledge the Mayor and Council for their unfailing support for maintaining
the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Village's finances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor,Village Council
and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta,Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
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 Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Village"),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements,which collectively
comprise the Village's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements 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 entity's internal control. Accordingly,we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinions
In our opinion, 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 Village, as of September 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial
position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion
and Analysis (on pages 4 through 18),the General Fund Budgetary Comparison Schedule, the Schedule of Changes
in the Net Pension Liability (Asset) and Related Ratios, the Schedule of Village Contributions, the Schedule of
Investment Returns, the Schedule of Changes in the Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedules of
Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (on pages 96 through 111) be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods
of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the Village's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules and the
introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of
additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and is also not a
required part of the basic financial statements of the Village.
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
combining and individual fund statements and schedules and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, accordingly,we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
2
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 16, 2022, on our
consideration of the Village'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 Village'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 Village's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD&A)
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2021
Village of Tequesta, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of the Village of Tequesta, we offer readers of the Village's financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Village for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2021.We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the additional
information that we have furnished in the letter of transmittal found on pages i to iv of this report.
Financial Hi2hli2hts
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Village of Tequesta exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $40,053,018. Of total net
position, 38.6% ($15,473,139) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to the
citizens and creditors.
• The Village of Tequesta's total net position increased during the current period. Net position for
governmental activities increased by $4,107,315. The business-type activities net position increased
by $831,157, due mainly to an increase in connection fees for new developments as well as a
decrease in expenses for the Water Distribution Division due to completion of the automated meter
reading project.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta's governmental funds reported a
change in combined fund balances of$5,632,894.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund balance for the general fund was $6,206,380, or
46.6% of general fund operating expenditures and other financing uses. Of this balance, $732,800
was non-spendable for inventories and prepaid expenditures; $561,007 was restricted for debt service
and $500,000 was committed to hurricane/disaster relief, $55,709 was assigned for the subsequent
year's budget; and $4,356,864, or 32.7% of general fund operating expenditures and other financing
uses was unassigned. At the end of the fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the
committed, assigned and unassigned components of fund balance) reported in the general fund was
$4,912,573.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Village of Tequesta's basic
financial statements. The Village's basic financial statements consist of three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic
financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements: The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the Village of Tequesta's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the Village of Tequesta's assets,
liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over
4
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2021
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position
of the Village of Tequesta is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the Village of Tequesta's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus, revenues and expenses
are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village of Tequesta 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 of the Village includes general government, public
safety, transportation and leisure services. The business-type activities of the Village includes water,
stormwater and refuse and recycling.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 19-20 of this report.
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. The Village of Tequesta, like other
state and local governments,uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the Village of Tequesta 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 financial statements focus on near-term inflows and ou flows 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 assessing 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 Village of Tequesta maintains five individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately
in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances for the General Fund and Capital Projects Fund which are considered major
funds. Data from the other three governmental funds is combined into a single aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining
statements in the combining and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
The Village of Tequesta adopts an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds. A budgetary
comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The Village of Tequesta's governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-24 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The Village of Tequesta maintains one type of proprietary fund — enterprise funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
5
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2021
government-wide financial statements. The Village of Tequesta uses enterprise funds to account for its
water, stormwater, and refuse and recycling funds.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water Fund and
the Stormwater Fund,major funds, as well as the Refuse and Recycling Fund, a nonmajor fund.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25-27 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
Village. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statement because the resources
of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary
funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The Village of Tequesta maintains one type of fiduciary fund — a Pension trust fund which is used to report
resources held in trust for retirees and beneficiaries covered by the Public Safety Pension Plan (which
includes the Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund and the Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund) and the General
Employees'Pension Plan.
The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 28-29 of this report.

the Village of Tequesta, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows at
the close of the most recent fiscal year. This change is discussed below.
Village of Tequesta's Total Net Position

$40,053,018 at the close of the 2021 fiscal year. Net Position in governmental activities recorded an increase
of 30.08%. The Village's business-type activities recorded a 3.87% increase in total net position. The

The largest portion of the Village's total net position (56.4%) represents investments in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less depreciation and any related outstanding debt and deferred
inflows/outflows used to acquire those assets. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, they are not available for future spending. Although the Village's investment in its
capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt
must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.
An additional portion of the Village of Tequesta's net position (5.0%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of$15,473,139 is unrestricted and
may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta is able to report positive balances in all
categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

The Village's programs/functions include General Government, Public Safety, Transportation and Leisure
Services. The net cost shows the extent to which the Village's general revenues support each of the Village's
programs/functions. The net cost of all governmental activities this year was $7,236,185, a 31.30% decrease
from the prior period. The largest decrease in net cost was from the function of public safety due to an
increase in charges for services as well as an increase in operating grants and contributions related to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Increases in building permit, fire plan review and fire transport fees also led to the
decrease in net cost for this function. As shown on the Statement of Activities, the functions directly
benefiting from the programs generated revenue of$6,098,419 with $11,343,500 financed through general
revenues.

Financial Analysis of the Village's Funds
As noted earlier, the Village of Tequesta uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds: The focus of the Village's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Village's
financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for discretionary use as they represent the portion of fund balance
which has not yet been limited to be used for a particular purpose by either an external party, the Village of
Tequesta itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for
particular purposes by the Village of Tequesta's Council.
At September 30, 2021 the Village of Tequesta's governmental funds reported total combined fund balances
of $10,143,193. $4,356,864 (43%) of the combined governmental fund balances is unassigned and is
available for spending at the Village's discretion. Approximately 33.5% or $3,399,922 is assigned or
committed, with the largest portion assigned to subsequent year's budget. Approximately $1.6 million is
restricted for a particular purpose (i.e. debt service, Law Enforcement Trust funds, etc.). $757,607 is in
nonspendable form (i.e. inventories, prepaid items, etc.). Total combined fund balances have increased
124.89%from the prior year.

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village of Tequesta. At the end of the current fiscal year
total fund balance was $6,206,380, an increase of$2,811,911 from the prior year. Unassigned fund balance
of$4,356,864, increased by 131% from the prior year. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may
be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance represents approximately 33% of fiscal year 2021 General Fund expenditures and
total fund balance represents approximately 47% of total expenditures. The Village of Tequesta adopted a
policy to keep unassigned fund balance at a minimum of two months (17%) of expenditures.

increased fire plan review/land development fees due to new residential developments; 3) increased
intragovernmental revenue stemming from increased administrative fees to the Water and Stormwater utility
enterprise funds; and 4) increased intergovernmental revenue due to recognition of grant revenue under the

Total General fund expenditures increased from the prior year by 8.4%. The increase of$483,040 or 21.9%
in General Government expenditures was primarily due to re-allocation of the operating costs for the Finance
and Information Technology departments to better track the costs of operations. These costs were previously
allocated amongst various departments benefiting from the services of these two departments. The increase
15
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2021
in capital outlay of$335,601 or 112.3%is mainly due to the purchase of an ambulance and acquisition of
computer hardware. Below is a graphical presentation of how the Village expends funds and how they
compare to the prior period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2021
Noncurrent liabilities: At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village had a total of $13,921,028 of
noncurrent liabilities. The largest portion are debt instruments in the form of promissory notes with Bank of
America that are secured by general revenue sources. The table below summarizes the Village's debt
position.
In accordance with GASB Statements No's. 68 and 75,the Village recognized a net pension liability(NPL) of
$2,069,473 and a total OPEB liability of $447,273, respectively. The Village is presenting the NPL and
OPEB liability as separate components of the noncurrent liabilities on the face of the financial statements to
present more clearly the Village's long-term pension and other post-employment benefit obligations. A more
detailed explanation can be found in Note 3.K—Noncurrent Liabilities.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds $ 5,632,894
Governmental funds report capital outlay 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. This is the amount by which
capital outlay exceeded depreciation/amortization in the current period.
The details of the difference are as follows:
Capital outlay 5,351,177
Depreciation/amortization expense (808,694) 4,542,483
The effect of transactions involving capital assets as follows:
Disposition of capital asset (252,818) (252,818)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to
governmental funds,while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.Neither
transaction,however,has any effect on net position.
Issuance of note payable (6,890,000)
Proceeds from capital lease (318,623)
Payment on notes payable 348,783
Payment on capital lease 81,314 (6,778,526)
Some revenues and expenses reported in the statement of activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and,therefore,are not
reported in governmental funds:
The details of the difference are as follows:
Compensated absences (8,552)
Total OPEB liability (48,156)

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Description of'Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net position and the statement of
activities) report information on all non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and any
component units. All fiduciary funds are presented separately. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions,
are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges to external customers for support.
B. Reporting Entity
The Village of Tequesta, Florida (the Village) is a municipal corporation organized in 1957
pursuant to Special Act 57-1915, Laws of Florida. The Village has a Council-Manager form of
government governed by a five (5) member Council elected at large. Each year, the Council
appoints one of its members Mayor,to serve at the pleasure of Council for one year. The Village's
major operations include public safety (police, fire rescue/EMS, building and code enforcement),
transportation (streets and roads), leisure services (culture and recreation), water, stormwater,
refuse &recycling services and general and administrative.
The definition of the financial reporting entity is based upon the concept that elected officials are
accountable to their constituents for their actions. One of the objectives of financial reporting is to
provide users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the accountability of the elected
officials. The financial reporting entity consists of the Village, organizations for which the Village
is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the Village are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Village is financially accountable for a component
unit if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and it is able to impose
its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial
benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the Village, or has operational responsibility.
The Village has no component units to report.
The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) as applied to
governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
C. Basis of'Presentation—Government-Wide Financial Statements
While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented,they are interrelated.
Both sets of statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the
Village. The governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds while
business-type activities incorporate data from the Village's enterprise funds. Separate financial
statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where the
amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other charges
between the Village's water and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these
30
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
The Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Village's
governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities are those supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges for support. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct
expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1)
charges for goods or services that are recovered directly from customers for services rendered and
2)grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
D. Basis of Presentation—Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the Village's funds, including its fiduciary
funds. Separate statements for each fund category— governmental, proprietary and fiduciary — are
presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise
funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are
aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds
are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Fiduciary funds are presented
apart from maj or and nonmaj or funds.
The Village reports the following major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Village's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources
of the general government, except those accounted for in another fund.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for acquisition or construction of major capital projects,
other than those financed by proprietary fund types.
The Village reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Water Fund, which accounts for the activities of the water utility, which includes the
processing and distribution of potable water to Village residents and some surrounding
communities, and the Stormwater Utility Fund, which accounts for the construction and
maintenance of the Village's stormwater system.
Additionally,the Village reports the following fund type:
The pension trust funds account for the activities of the Public Safety Employees' (Police and
Fire) and the General Employees' Pension Trust Funds, which accumulate resources for pension
benefit payments to qualified employees.
During the course of operations, the Village has activity between funds for various purposes. Any
residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds (short-term) and
advances to/from other funds (long-term). While these balances are reported in fund financial
statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial
statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that
31
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
only the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental activities column.
Similarly, balances between the funds included in the business type activities (i.e., the enterprise
funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the
business-type activities column.
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In
fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While
reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the
government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental
activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental
activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business-type activities are
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the business-type activities
column.
E. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement
focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured
such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the
timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon
as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period. For this purpose, the Village considers revenues to be available if they are collected within
60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability
is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when
payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal
period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of
the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all eligibility requirements are
met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the
availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year-end). Expenditure driven grants
are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other
eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the
availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year-end). All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Village.
32
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
The proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting for reporting its assets and liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows
of resources (as described previously).
The pension trust funds are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member and state
contributions are recognized as revenues in the period that the contributions are due. Employer
contributions to each Plan are recognized when due and the employer has made a formal
commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. All plan investments are reported at fair value,
except for a money market fund which is reported at amortized cost; securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales were reported on that date are
valued at the last reported bid price. Securities without an established fair value are reported at
estimated fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
F. Budgetary Information
1. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. Per established procedures
approved by the Village Council, the designated budget officer may approve a department head's
request to transfer appropriations between accounts, within a department. Although the Village
Council requires all inter-department budget amendments to go before the Village Council, the
budget was adopted on a fund basis and the legal level of budgetary control is at the department
level. Any amendments that change the total fund's budget requires the Village Council to approve
it in the same manner that the original budget was approved—by resolution.
Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they have related
encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for
goods or services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and commitments). Encumbrance accounting is
utilized to the extent necessary to assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to
facilitate effective cash planning and control. While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse at
year end, valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under the executory
contract is expected in the next year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year's
budget pursuant to state regulations.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
G.Assets,Liabilities,Deferred Ou0ows/InfZows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance
1. Cash
The Village's cash is considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits.
2. Investments
Investments for the Village are reported at fair value, except for the position in the State Board of
Administration Investment Pool (SBA). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The SBA administers Florida PRIME and is governed by Chapter 19-7 of
the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 215 and 218 of the Florida Statutes. These rules
provide guidance and establish the policies and general operating procedures for the administration
of the Florida PRIME. Florida PRIME invests in a pool of investments whereby the Village owns
a share of the respective pool, not the underlying securities. Florida PRIME is reported at
amortized cost and is exempt from the GASB No. 72 fair value hierarchy disclosures.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of
expendable supplies and water distribution repair parts. The cost of such inventories is recorded as
expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid
items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure and intangible assets (e.g.
roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or
business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets, except
for infrastructure and intangible assets, are defined by the Village as assets with an initial,
individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. For
infrastructure and intangible assets the same estimated minimum useful life is used (in excess of
one year), but only those projects that cost more than $25,000 are reported as capital assets. In the
case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by
governmental activities), the Village chose not to capitalize infrastructure acquired in fiscal years
ending prior to September 30, 2004. As the Village constructs or acquires additional capital assets
each period they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal
maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not
increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital
assets are recorded at their acquisition value at the date of donation.
34
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. The other property, plant, equipment, and
infrastructure of the primary government are depreciated using the straight line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20—40 years
Improvements 20—40 years
Infrastructure 20— 50 years
Machinery and equipment 5 — 15 years
Intangibles 5 —20 years
Other 5 — 15 years
5. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred ou flows
of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. The Village has three items that qualify for reporting in this
category. They are; 1) Deferred outflows related to pensions; 2) Deferred outflows related to
OPEB; and 3) Deferred charge on refunding resulting from the difference in the carrying value of
refunded debt and its reacquisition price, and is amortized over the shorter of the life of the
refunded or refunding debt. These items are reported in the government-wide statement of net
position and the statement of net position of the proprietary funds.
In addition to liabilities,the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred inflows
of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time. The Village has one type of item that qualifies for reporting in this category -
Deferred inflows related to pensions. This item is reported in the government-wide statement of net
position and the statement of net position of the proprietary funds.
6. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (e.g. restricted bond or grant proceeds). In order to calculate the amounts to
report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position, in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which
the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village's policy to consider restricted net
position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
7. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to
calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance in
the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in
which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village's policy to consider restricted
fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund
balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same
purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned
fund balance is applied last.
35
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
8. Fund Balance Policies
The Village classifies fund balance in accordance with GASB Statement No.54 Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This statement enhances the usefulness of
fund balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more
consistently applied and by clarifying the existing governmental fund type definitions. In the fund
financial statements, governmental funds report classifications that comprise a hierarchy based
primarily on the extent to which the Village is bound to honor constraint of the specific purposes
for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
The Village reports the following fund classifications:
Nonspendable fund balance. Nonspendable fund balances are amounts that cannot be spent
because they are either not in spendable form such as inventory or legally or contractually required
to be maintained intact such as a perpetual trust.
Restricted fund balance. Restricted fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the
imposition externally by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governmental agencies
or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance. Those amounts can only be used for specific purposes determined by a
formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making authority. The Village Council
is the highest level of decision-making authority for the Village that can, by adoption of an
ordinance or resolution equally binding and of equal decision-making authority, prior to the end of
the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance or
resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance or
resolution)to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned fund balance. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be
used by the Village for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed.
The Village Council (Council) has, by adopting a fund balance policy, authorized the Village
Manager and/or the Finance Director to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund
balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and
appropriations in the subsequent year's appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments
generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be
taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is
essential to either remove or revise a commitment.
Unassigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance represents fund balance that has not been
assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific
purposes within the general fund.
The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. The
other governmental funds may report negative unassigned fund balance if that fund's expenditures
incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to
those purposes.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
H. Revenues and Expenditures/Expenses
1. Program Revenues
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function
or segment and 2) grants and contributions (including special assessments) that are restricted to
meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. All taxes,
including those dedicated for specific purposes, and other internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
2. Property Taxes
Property tax collections are governed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. Property taxes are based
on assessed property value at January 1st as determined by the Palm Beach County Property
Appraiser. The Village sets the property tax millage rate in September. The Palm Beach County
Tax Collector bills and collects all property taxes levied within the County. Florida Statutes limit
the county-wide millage rate to a maximum of 10 mills, excluding voter-approved debt service
millage rates. The millage rate for the Village in fiscal year 2021 was 6.6290 mills. Tax bills are
mailed out November 1st and discounts are available for payments made in the following months;
November 4%, December 3%, January 2% and February 1%. Taxes become delinquent on April
1st. The owner of a tax certificate may at any time after taxes have been delinquent (April 1), for
two years, file an application for a tax deed sale. Tax deeds are issued to the highest bidder for the
property which is sold at public auction.
The Tax Collector remits current taxes collected through four distributions to the Village in the
first two months of the tax year and one distribution each month thereafter. The Village recognizes
property tax revenue in the period in which they are levied. The Tax Collector pays the Village
interest on monies held from day of collection to day of distribution.
3. Compensated Absences
Vacation
The Village's policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits, which
are eligible for payment upon separation from the Village's service up to the maximum allowable
limit. The liability for such leave is reported as incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. A liability for those amounts is recorded in the governmental funds only
if the liability has matured as a result of employee resignations or retirements. The liability for
compensated absences includes salary-related benefits,where applicable.
Sick Leave
The Village's policy permits employees to accumulate unused sick leave up to a maximum amount
approved by Council. Upon termination, this leave is eligible for payment at percentages
determined by years of service. The liability for such leave is reported as incurred in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements when the liability has matured. A
liability for those amounts is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured as
a result of employee resignations or retirements.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
4. Proprietary Funds Operating and Non-Operating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the water fund, refuse and recycling fund and stormwater fund are
charges to customers for sales and services. The water fund also recognizes as operating revenue,
the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system.
Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition
are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
L Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts of assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
J. Implementation of new GASB Pronouncements
In January 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, which is effective for the
Village for the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2021. The objective of this Statement is to
improve guidance regarding what constitutes fiduciary activities for accounting and financial
reporting purposes, the recognition of liabilities to beneficiaries, and how fiduciary activities
should be reported. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Village's financial position
or results of operations.
In June 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the
End of a Construction Period, which is effective for the Village beginning with the fiscal year that
ended September 30, 2021. The objectives of this Statement are (1) to enhance the relevance and
comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period
and (2) to simplify accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period.
The adoption of GASB Statement No. 89 did not impact the Village's financial position or results
of operations.
In August 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests - an Amendment of
GASB Statements No.14 and No. 61, which is effective for the Village beginning with the fiscal
year that ended September 30, 2021. The primary objectives of this Statement are to improve the
consistency and comparability of reporting a government's majority equity interest in a legally
separate organization and to improve the relevance of financial statement information component
units. The adoption of GASB Statement No. 90 did not impact the Village's financial position or
results of operations.
The Village implemented GASB Statement No. 98, The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report,
during fiscal year 2021. This Statement establishes the term"annual comprehensive financial
report"and its acronym ACFR. That new term and acronym replace instances of comprehensive

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting principles for state and
local governments.
This Statement was developed in response to concerns raised by stakeholders that the common
pronunciation of the acronym for comprehensive annual financial report sounds like a profoundly
objectionable racial slur. This Statement's introduction of the new term is founded on a
commitment to promoting inclusiveness. The implementation of this pronouncement did not result
in any financial impact to the Village.
K. New GASB Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases, which will be effective for the Village
beginning with its fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. This Statement outlines new guidance
that establishes a single approach to accounting for and reporting leases by state and local
governments. The goal is to better align reporting these leases with their particular situations, as
well as provide greater transparency and usefulness of financial statements.
In May 2019, GASB issued Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations, which will be effective
for the Village beginning with its fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. This standard will provide
a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice
associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit
debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by
clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt
obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial
reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and
arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosure.
This standard is not expected to impact the Village's financial statements.
In January 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 92, Omnibus 2020, which will be effective for the
Village beginning with its fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. This standard will enhance
comparability in accounting and financial reporting and will improve the consistency of
authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified during
implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. This Statement addresses a variety of
topics and includes specific provisions about the following: (1) The effective date of Statement No.
87, Leases, and Implementation Guide No. 2019-3, Leases, for interim financial reports; (2)
Reporting of intra-entity transfers of assets between a primary government employer and a
component unit defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit other postemployment benefit
(OPEB) plan; (3) The applicability of Statements No. 73,Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and
Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68, as amended, and No. 74,
Financial Reporting for Post-employment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, as amended,to
reporting assets accumulated for post-employment benefits; (4) The applicability of certain
requirements of Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, to post-employment benefit arrangements;
(5) Measurement of liabilities (and assets, if any) related to asset retirement obligations (ARO's) in
a government acquisition; (6) Reporting by public entity risk pools for amounts that are recoverable
from reinsurers or excess insurers; (7) Reference to nonrecurring fair value measurements of assets

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
or liabilities in authoritative literature; (8) Terminology used to refer to derivative instruments. This
standard is not expected to impact the Village's financial statements.
In March 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates, which
will be effective for the Village beginning with its year ending year end September 30, 2022, with
the exception of the removal of LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark interest rate which will
become effective September 30, 2023. The objective of this Statement is to address accounting and
financial reporting implications that result from the replacement of an Interbank Offered Rate. This
Statement achieves that objective by: (1) Providing exceptions for certain hedging derivative
instruments to the hedge accounting termination provisions when an IBOR is replaced as the
reference rate of the hedging derivative instrument's variable payment; (2) Clarifying the hedge
accounting termination provisions when a hedged item is amended to replace the reference rate; (3)
Clarifying that the uncertainty related to the continued availability of IBOR's does not, by itself,
affect the assessment of whether the occurrence of a hedged expected transaction is probable; (4)
Removing LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark interest rate for the qualitative evaluation of the
effectiveness of an interest rate swap; (5) Identifying a Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the
Effective Federal Funds Rate as appropriate benchmark interest rates for the qualitative evaluation
of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap; (6) Clarifying the definition of reference rate, as it is
used in Statement 53, as amended. This standard is not expected to impact the Village's financial
statements.
In Apri12020, GASB issued Statement No. 94,Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and
Availability Payment Arrangements, which will be effective for the Village beginning with its
fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial
reporting by addressing issues related to public-private and public-public partnership arrangements
(PPP's). This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for
availability payment arrangements (APA's). The requirements of this Statement will improve
financial reporting by establishing the definitions of PPP's and APA's and providing uniform
guidance on accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet those definitions. This
standard is not expected to impact the Village's financial statements.
In May 2020, the GASB issued Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements, which will be effective for the Village beginning with its fiscal year ending
September 30, 2023. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by
establishing a definition for SBITA's and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial
reporting for transactions that meet that definition. That definition and uniform guidance will result
in greater consistency in practice. Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs
also will reduce diversity and improve comparability in financial reporting by governments. This
Statement also will enhance the relevance and reliability of a government's financial statements by
requiring a government to report a subscription asset and subscription liability for a SBITA and to
disclose essential information about the arrangement. The disclosures will allow users to
understand the scale and important aspects of a government's SBITA activities and evaluate a
government's obligations and assets resulting from SBITA's. This standard is not expected to
impact the Village's financial statements.

In June 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 97, Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting
and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans
An Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 84, and a Supersession of GASB Statement No.
32, which will be effective for the Village beginning with its fiscal year ending September 30,

reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does
not have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board
typically would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined
contribution pension plans, defined contribution other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans, and
employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as
fiduciary component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance,
consistency, and comparability of the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code

Note 3—Detailed Notes on All Activities and Funds
A. Cash Deposits with Financial Institution
Custodial credit risk-deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure,the government's deposits may not be returned to it. All of the Village's deposits are held in
qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes, Chapter 280,Florida Security for
Public Deposits Act. Under the Act, every qualified public depository shall deposit with the
Treasurer eligible collateral of the depository to be held subject to his or her order. The pledging
level may range from 25%to 200% of the average monthly balance of public deposits depending
upon the depository's financial condition and establishment period. All collateral must be deposited
with an approved financial institution. Any potential losses to public depositors are covered by
applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessments
against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default. At
September 30, 2021, none of the Village's primary bank balances were exposed to custodial credit
risk.
B. Investments
The Village has adopted an investment policy in accordance with Florida Statutes and is authorized
to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities, certificates of
deposit, the State Board of Administration Investment Pool, any intergovernmental investment
pools authorized pursuant to Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, SEC registered money market
funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency, and
securities of any interest in any open-end or closed-end management type investment company or
investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio
is limited to obligations of U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and to repurchase
agreements fully collateralized by such U.S. government obligations and provided that such
investment company or investment trust takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through
an authorized custodian.
The State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the Florida PRIME investment pool which is
governed by Chapter 19-7 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and 215 of the
Florida Statutes. The Florida PRIME is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). As a participant, the Village invests in a pool of investments owning a share of
the pool, not the underlying securities. The value of the Village's participation is the same as the
value of the pool shares. The investments in the Florida PRIME are reported at amortized cost and
not insured by FDIC or any other governmental agency.
GASB Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pool and Pool participants establishes
criteria for an external investment pool to qualify to report at amortized cost. Florida PRIME is
exempt from the GASB No. 72 fair value hierarchy disclosures and reports at amortized cost.

payment at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the Executive Director may, in
good faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of the
trust fund, for 48 hours limit contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that the
Board can invest moneys entrusted to it in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action must
be immediately disclosed to all participants, the Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing
Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government Advisory
Council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting as soon as practicable from the time the
Executive Director has instituted such measures and review the necessity of those measures. If the
Trustees are unable to convene an emergency meeting before the expiration of the 48-hour
moratorium on contributions and withdrawals, the Executive Director may extend the moratorium
until the Trustees are able to meet to review the necessity for the moratorium. If the Trustees agree
with such measures, the Trustees shall vote to continue the measures for up to an additional 15
days. The Trustees must convene and vote to continue any such measures before the expiration of
the time limit set, but in no case may the time limit set by the Trustees exceed 15 days."

Investments—Public Safety Pension Trust Fund
Investment Policy Statement
The Public Safety Pension Board of Trustees, as fiduciaries, adopts an Investment Policy Statement
and directs that it applies to all assets under their control. It is the Board's intention to review the
policy at least annually subsequent to the actuarial report and to amend this statement to reflect any
changes in philosophy, objectives, or guidelines. When the Investment Manager feels that the
specific objectives defined in the statement cannot be met, or the guidelines constrict performance,
the Investment Manager will present a formal modified investment policy statement to the Board of
Trustees at a meeting for the Board's review. Once the Board has adopted, the new investment
policy goes into effect 31 days after it has been filed with the State of Florida. There were no
changes to the Investment Policy Statement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The
investments of the Public Safety Pension Trust Fund were in compliance with the investment
policy.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Plan categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on valuation input used to
measure the fair value of an asset:
Level 1 -investments reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets;
Level 2 - investments reflect prices that are based on inputs that 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 to be active;
Level 3 -investments reflect prices based upon unobservable inputs for an asset.
The investment pricing transparency determines the category within the hierarchy and should not
be observed at the investment risk. The custodian bank's (primary external pricing vendors) quoted
prices were used to determine level classification based on the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and equity securities classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted
prices at September 30, 2021 (or the most recent market close date if the markets are closed on
September 30) in active markets. This includes common stock, equity mutual funds and bond
mutual funds.
Debt securities are valued using pricing inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants
would use to price an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting equity (Level 2). It is valued using a matrix pricing technique.
Matrix pricing values securities based on the securities relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
This includes U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, U.S. agencies, mortgage backed securities, municipal
bonds and corporate obligations, including asset backed securities.

The Real Estate Fund - this fund enters into real estate partnerships with various joint venture
partners. The portfolio is valued quarterly at net asset value (NAV). Investments valued at NAV are
excluded from the fair value hierarchy because the valuation is not based on actual market inputs
but rather is quantified using the fund's reported NAV. The fund had no outstanding commitments.

Interest Rate Risk - the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity the greater the exposure.
The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk,however;
• The established performance objectives require investment maturities to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
• At September 30, 2021, there were investments in mutual funds that included debt
instruments in their portfolio.
Credit Risk- the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy limits
credit risk by requiring that:
• Fixed income investments must hold a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a
major rating service.
• Equities must be traded on a national exchange.
• Money market investments must hold a minimum rating of Standard & Poor's Al or
Moody's P1.
• At September 30, 2021, the weighted average maturity in years for each investment type is
included in the preceding table and ranges from 1.75 to 3.38 years.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Concentration of Credit Risk - the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single
issuer. The investment policy limits exposure to this risk by:
• Limiting investments in common stock, capital stock or convertible stock of any one
issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing company to 5%of the outstanding capital
stock of the company.
• Limiting the value of corporate bonds issued by any single corporation to not more than 5%
of the total fund.
• Limiting investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds (not to exceed 70%
of the fund assets at fair value). Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-government
entities are limited to 15%of the fixed income portfolio.
• Limiting investments in foreign securities (not to exceed 25% of the value at cost of the
fund).
Custodial Credit Risk-the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty,the plan will not
be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an
outside party. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure to this risk by:
• Requiring all securities to be held with a third party custodian.
• Requiring security transactions between a broker/dealer and the custodian involving the
purchase or sale of securities by transfer of money or securities are made on a "delivery vs.
payment" basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money, as appropriate,
in hand at the conclusion of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk - is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in currency
exchange rates. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as:
• Foreign investments are through ADR's (shares listed in the U.S.), mutual funds (registered
in the U.S.), or Yankee bonds (denominated in U.S. dollars should not to exceed 5% of total
fund).
• The investment policy permits a maximum of 25% of the fair value of the fund securities to
be invested in foreign securities.
• At September 30, 2021, 18.69% of the fair value of the fund was invested in international
funds.
• All the international securities are denominated in U.S. dollars. There is no foreign currency
risk.
Money Weighted Rate of'Return and Target Allocation
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,the overall annual money-weighted rate of
return (long-term expected real rate of return) on the Public Safety Pension Plan investments (both
Police Officers' and Firefighters') was 20.27% and 8.30%. The money-weighted rate of return
expresses investment performance,net of investment manager and consultant expenses adjusted for
the changing amounts actually invested.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments, shown below by asset class, is
developed using best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expenses and inflation). These ranges are combined to produce the long
term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

Interest Rate Risk - the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the exposure.
The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk,however:
• The established performance objectives require investment maturities to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
• At September 30, 2021, the weighted average maturity in years for each investment type is
included in the preceding table and ranges from 1.19 to 1.50 years.
Credit Risk -the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations.
The Plan limits exposure that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations by limiting investments
made or held in the fund to:
• Obligations issued by the U.S. Government or obligations guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the U.S. government or by an agency of the U.S. Government;
• Bonds, stocks, or commingled funds administered by national or state banks, or other
evidences or indebtedness, issued or guaranteed by a corporation organized under the laws of
the United States, any state or organized territory of the United States, or District of
Columbia provided that the securities meet the following ranking criteria:
o Fixed income investments holding a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a
major rating service.
o Equities that are traded on a National Exchange.

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Concentration of Credit Risk-the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a
single issuer. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure by:
• Limiting investments in common stock or capital stock of any one issuing company or
aggregate of any one issuing company to 5%of the outstanding capital stock of the company.
• Limiting the value of bonds issued by any single corporation not to exceed 10% of the total
fund.
• Limiting investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds not to exceed 70%
of the fund assets at fair value.
• Limiting investments in foreign securities not to exceed 25%of the fair value of the fund.
Custodial Credit Risk — the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the plan will
not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession
of an outside party. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure to this risk by:
• Requiring all securities to be held by a third party custodian in the name of the Plan. As of
September 30, 2021,the Plan's investment portfolio was held with a third-party custodian.
• Requiring securities transactions between a broker-dealer and the custodian involving
purchase or sale of securities by the transfer of money or securities to be made on a"delivery
vs. payment"basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money in hand at the
conclusion of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk - is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in currency
exchange rates. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as:
• Foreign investments are through ADR's (shares listed in the U.S.), mutual funds (registered
in the U.S.), or Yankee bonds (traded in U.S. dollars).
• The investment policy permits a maximum of 25% of the fair value of the fund securities
(including equities and fixed income securities)to be invested in foreign securities.
• At September 30, 2021, 18.81% of the fair value of the fund was invested in international
funds.
• All the international securities are denominated in U.S. dollars. There is no foreign currency
risk.
Money Weighted Rate of Return and Target Allocation
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,the overall annual money-weighted rate of
return (long-term expected real rate of return) on the General Employees' Pension Plan investments
was 19.38% and 8.83% respectively. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment
performance, net of investment manager and consultant expenses adjusted for the changing
amounts actually invested.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments, shown below by asset class, is
developed using best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expenses and inflation). These ranges are combined to produce the long
term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

Full time employees hired before January 1, 1996 are eligible to participate in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS), as provided by Chapters 121 and 112, Florida Statutes, a cost-sharing,
multiple-employer defined benefit plan administered by the State Board of Administration
("SBA"). The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments
and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A post-employment health insurance subsidy
is also provided to eligible employees. Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes
and Chapter 22B, Florida Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can only be made by an
act of the Florida Legislature.
The State of Florida issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements
and required supplementary information for the FRS. The latest available report may be obtained
by writing to the State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of Management Services,
P.O. Box 9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000 or visiting the website at
ww.dms.myflorida.com/workforce_operations/retirement/publications.
Plan Description: The FRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer qualified defined benefit pension
plan,with a Deferred Retirement Option Program ("DROP")for eligible employees.
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. Special Risk Administrative Support class members who retire
at or after age 55 with a least six years of credited service or 25 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. Special

Risk class members (sworn law enforcement officers, firefighters, and correctional officers) who
retire at or after age 55 with at least six years of credited service, or with 25 years of service
regardless of age, are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 3.0%of their
final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary for each year of credited
service. Senior Management Service 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 2.0% of their final average compensation based on the five
highest years of salary for each year of credited service. Elected Officers' 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 3.0% (3.33% for judges and
justices) of their final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary for each year
of credited service.
For Plan members enrolled on or after July, 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, Senior Management Service, and Elected Officers' class
members, and to age 60 or 30 years of service regardless of age for Special Risk and Special Risk
Administrative Support class members. Also, the final average compensation for all these 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 three percent 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 three percent
determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at
retirement multiplied by three percent. 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 60 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 three percent 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.

net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current
active and inactive employees if future experience follows assumptions and the Actuarially
Determined Contribution is contributed in full each year.. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating
the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return.

Long-'Perm Expected Rate of'Return
The long-term expected rate of return assumption of 6.80% on consists of two building block
components: 1) an inferred real (in excess of inflation) return of 4.30%, which is consistent with the
4.17% real return from the capital market outlook model developed by the FRS consulting actuary
Milliman: and 2) a long-term average annual inflation assumption of 2.40% as adopted in October
2021 by the FRS Actuarial Assumption Conference. In the opinion of the FRS consulting actuary both
components and the overall 6.80%return assumption were determined to be reasonable and
appropriate per Actuarial Standards of Practice. The 6.80% reported investment return assumption
chosen by the 2021 FRS Actuarial Assumption Conference for funding policy purpose.
The table below contains a summary of Milliman's assumptions for each of the asset class in which
the plan was invested at the time based on the long-term target asset allocation. Each asset class
assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and includes an adjustment for the
inflation assumption. This assumptions are not based on historical returns, but instead are based on a
forward-looking capital market economic model.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Benefits Provided — For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, eligible retirees and beneficiaries
received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service credited at
retirement multiplied by $5. The minimum payment is $30 and maximum payment is $150 per month,
pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS benefit, a retiree under
one of the state-administered retirement system must provide proof of eligible health insurance
coverage, which may include Medicare.
Contributions — For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the contribution rate was 1.66% of payroll
pursuant to section 112.363, Florida Statutes. HIS contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund
from which HIS payments are authorized.
The Village's total contributions to the HIS Plan totaled $4,602 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2021.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred Inflows of
Resources
Actuarial valuations for the HIS Program are conducted biennially. The July 1, 2020,HIS valuation is
the most recent valuation and was used to develop the liabilities for June 30, 2021. Liabilities
originally calculated as of the actuarial valuation date have been recalculated as of a later GASB
Measurement Date using standard actuarial roll forward procedures. The discount rates used at the
two liability measurement dates differ due to changes in the applicable municipal bond index between
dates.
At September 30, 2021,the Village reported a liability of$107,220 for its proportionate share of the
Pension Plan's net pension liability. The Village's proportionate share of the net pension liability was
based on the Village's 2020-2021 fiscal year contributions relative to the 2019-2020 fiscal year
contributions of all participating members. At June 30, 2021, the Village's proportionate share was
0.000874089%, which was a decrease of 0.0000258% from its proportionate share measured as of
June 30, 2020.
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date,
calculated based on the discount rate and actuarial assumptions below, and was then projected to the
measurement date. Any significant changes during this period have been reflected as prescribed by
GASB 67.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021,the Village recognized pension expense of$7,610 as
follows:
Service Cost $ 2,453
Interest Cost 2,436

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 2.16%. In general, the discount rate
for calculating the total pension liability under GASB 67 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. The single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond
rate selected by the FRS Actuarial Assumption Conference. The discount rates used at the two dates
differ due to changes in the applicable municipal bond index.

The Vllage of Tequesta Single-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Overview: The Village maintains two single-employer defined benefit pension plans, the Public
Safety Officers' Pension Trust Fund and the General Employees' Pension Trust Fund. The sole
administration of and responsibility for the proper operation of the retirement system is vested in The
Board of Trustees. The defined benefit pension plans do not issue stand alone financial statements.
All full-time general employees who are not classified as police officers or firefighters are eligible for
membership in the General Employees' Pension Plan on the date of employment. The General
Employees' Pension Board consists of five Trustees. Two are legal residents of the municipality,
appointed by the Village Council, and two are full time General Employee members. The fifth Trustee
is selected by a majority vote of the other Trustees.
The Public Safety Board consists of five Trustees. Two are legal residents of the municipality,
appointed by the Village Council, one is a full time police officer member, and one is full time
firefighter member. The fifth Trustee is selected by a majority vote of the other Trustees.

All full-time police officers and all full-time firefighters are eligible for membership in the Public
Safety Officers' Pension Plan on the date of employment. The Public Safety Officers' Pension
Trust Fund receives contributions that may not be used to pay benefits of all employee classes,
therefore, two separate trust funds, the Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund (FPTF) and the Police
Officers' Pension Trust Fund (PPTF) are reflected separately in the financial statements, as well as
the General Employee's Trust Fund(GPTF).

Actuarial Assumptions and Net Pension Liability (NPL)
The actuarial valuation of the liabilities for the FPTF, PPTF and GPTF as of the September 30,
2020 measurement date were determined as of the beginning of the year, October 1, 2019 (based on
actuarial valuation results as reported in the October 1, 2019 actuarial valuation). Using a
measurement date of September 30, 2020 allows for timelier reporting at the end of the year. These
liabilities are used for GASB Statement No. 68 reporting for the reporting fiscal year ending
September 30, 2021.
The total pension liability for the Village's defined benefit pension plans was determined using the
following actuarial methods and assumptions, applied to all prior periods included in the
measurement period. Actuarially determined contribution rates are calculated as of October 1, two
years prior to the end of the fiscal year in which contributions are reported. If significant changes
occur during the year, such as benefit changes or changes in assumptions or methods, these would
be noted in the footnotes.

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability (Asset)to Changes in the Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.00% as of September 30, 2021, same as of September 30, 2020, was
used to measure the total pension liability for the Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension trusts.
This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of
7.00%. A discount rate of 6.50% was used to measure total pension liability for the General
Employees' Pension Trust as of September 30, 2021 same as of September 30, 2020. This single
discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.5%for both
years. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan
member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions
will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total actuarially determined contribution
rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan
members. Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied
to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Vllage of'Tequesta Defined Contribution Plan
The Village Single-Employer Defined Contribution Plan (the Plan) was established on February 1,
2013 with an effective date of March 1, 2013. The Plan is a 401(a) money purchase plan in the form
of the Empower Retirement Governmental Money Purchase Plan and Trust (The Plan) with assets of
the Plan held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Plan participants and their beneficiaries. The
assets shall be invested in the Plan and shall not be diverted to any other purpose. The employer's
beneficial ownership of Plan assets held in the Empower Retirement Trust shall be held for the further
exclusive benefit of the Plan participants. The Village Manager is the coordinator for the Plan and is
authorized to execute all necessary agreements with the Empower Retirement Trust incidental to the
administration of the Plan. The Village serves as Trustee under the Plan.
In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the Plan plus
investment earnings.
The Plan covered the Police Chief and Assistant Police Chief. Employees must designate a mandatory
participation contribution between the range of 1% to 12% for the Plan year as a condition of
participation in the Plan. The participant shall not have the right to discontinue or vary the rate after
becoming a Plan participant. Newly eligible employees have an election window of 30 days from the
date of eligibility to make the election to participate in the mandatory contribution portion of the Plan
which will begin the first of the month following the end of the election window. This election is
irrevocable and remains in force until the employee terminates employment or ceases to be eligible to
participate in the Plan.
The Village contributes 10% of compensation. Employees are immediately vested in the Plan. Plan
provisions are established and may be amended by the Village.
The Village does not hold or administer resources of the Plan and consequently, the Plan does not
meet the requirements for inclusion in the Village's financial statements. The Plan does not issue a
stand-alone financial report. The fair value of the Plan assets at September 30, 2021 was $182,492.
Employee contributions to the Plan for fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 were $12,418; the
Village's contributions were $26,593.

G. Other Postemployment Benefits(OPEB)
Vllage of'Tequesta's Other Postemployment Benefits Plan
Plan description. The Village of Tequesta provides health insurance benefits to its retired employees
through a single-employer plan administered by the Village. Pursuant to the provisions of Section
112.0801, Florida Statutes, former employees who retire from the Village and eligible dependents may
continue to participate in the Village's fully-insured benefit plan for medical insurance coverage. The
Village subsidizes the premium rates paid by retirees by allowing them to participate in the plan at
reduced or blended group (implicitly subsidized)premium rates for both active and retired employees.
These rates provide an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an actuarial basis, their current and
future claims are expected to result in higher costs to the plan on average than those of active
employees. The benefits provided under this defined benefit plan are provided until the retiree's
attainment of age 65 (or until such time at which retiree discontinues coverage under the Village
sponsored plans,if earlier).
Funding Policy. The Village's Other Post-Employment Benefits are unfunded (pay-as-you-go basis).
That is, the Village does not have a separate Trust Fund to make contributions to advance-fund the
obligation. Current and future retirees are required to pay 100% of the blended premium to continue
coverage under the Village's group health insurance program.
Summary of Membership Information. The following table provides a summary of the number of
participants in the plan at the measurement date of September 30, 2020:
Inactive members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 4
Inactive members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 0
Active members 100
Total 104
OPEB Liability,Expense,Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred Inflows of Resources
The Village recognizes the OPEB liability and the OPEB expense in the financial statements, along
with the related deferred outflows and inflows of resources. The OPEB liability is the difference
between the total OPEB liability and the plan's fiduciary net position. Since the plan is currently
unfunded,the net OPEB liability is equal to and reported as total OPEB liability.
At September 30, 2021, the Village reported an OPEB liability of $447,273 that is based on an
Alternative Measurement Method calculation performed as of a valuation date of September 30, 2019
and measurement date of September 30, 2019 and rolled forward to the September 30, 2020

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each AMM calculation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer
and plan members to that point. The 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.
As authorized by GASB Statement No. 75, the Alternative Measurement Method allows to use
simplifications of certain assumptions in measuring the costs and liabilities.
Discount Rate
For plans that do not have formal assets, the discount rate is equal to the tax-exempt municipal bond
rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating as of the
measurement date. For the purpose of this AMM roll-forward calculation, the municipal bond rate is
2.41% (based on the daily rate of Fidelity's "20-Year Municipal GO AA Index" closest to but not later
than the measurement date). The discount rate was 2.75%as of the beginning of the measurement year.
Sensitivity of'Total OPEB Liability
Regarding the sensitivity of the total OPEB liability to changes in the discount rate, the following
presents the plan's total OPEB liability, calculated using a discount rate of 2.41%, as well as what
the plan's total OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one
percent lower or one percent higher.

J. Risk Management
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters. While the Village
cannot anticipate the areas in which potential claims may arise, it purchases commercial insurance
to protect against areas of possible exposure germane to municipal entities such as property,
liability, automobile, workers' compensation, crime, storage tank, inland marine, statutory
accidental death and dismemberment, firefighter cancer program coverage, and railroad coverage.
Deductibles and limits vary by coverage and are secured based upon the Village's tolerance of risk
retention in each area.
At the Village Council's direction, the property deductible of$100,000 is applicable for all perils
excluding hurricane/windstorm damage. The Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (FMIT) applies a
named storm deductible of 5% of the 100% value of real and personal property, personal property
of others in our care, custody and control values at the time of loss or damage at the locations
where the damage occurred, subject to the policy deductible, whichever is greater. The Village
continues to self-insure all property claims up to $100,000 via a policy deductible. FMIT issued
members in good standing a return of premium credit. The Village received a total credit of$8,456
related to policy year 2019/2020.
The Village remains fully insured with the FMIT for workers' compensation coverage with
statutory limits. Premiums are based upon risk class and remuneration of covered employees
adjusted by an experience modification factor which includes three prior years of claims history. At
the end of each fiscal year, the plan is audited and the Village can either receive a return of
premium or be required to pay additional premium base upon actual versus estimated payroll.
FMIT's final audit for fiscal year 2020/2021 resulted in the Village owing a total of$4,934, due to
payroll changes that impacted the workers'compensation premium.

M. Fund Balance
Minimum Fund Balance Policy
The Village Council has adopted a financial policy to maintain a minimum level of unassigned fund
balance in the general fund. The target level is set at two months of general fund operating
expenditures (approximately 17%). This amount is intended to provide fiscal stability when
economic downturns and other unexpected events occur. If fund balance falls below the minimum
target level because it has been used, essentially as a "revenue" source, as dictated by current
circumstances, the policy provides for actions to replenish the amount to the minimum target level.
Generally, replenishment is to occur within a three-year period.
At September 30, 2021 the unassigned fund balance of the general fund was 32.70% and is above
the minimum target level. It is a 18.54%increase compared to the prior fiscal year.
N. Interfund Transfers
The composition of interfund transfers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTE TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2021
Note 1 —Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The Village is required to present a budget to actual comparison for the general fund and
any major special revenue fund with a legally adopted annual budget. The Village may not
include nonmajor special revenue funds, or funds of other fund types. This fiscal year, the
Village presents this schedule for the general fund only.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. For budgeting purposes, current year encumbrances are not
treated as expenditures.
All budgets are legally enacted through passage of a resolution. Although the Village
Council requires all inter-department budget amendments to go before the Village Council
for approval, the budget was adopted on a fund basis. However, the legal level of budgetary
control is at the department level. What this means is that any amendment that changes the
department's total budget requires the Village Council to approve it in the same manner that
the original budget was approved—by resolution.
The original budget is the budget in place at the start of the fiscal year, which includes all of
the following:
The budget passed by the Village Council
+Subsequent amendments made prior to the start of the fiscal year
+Carryovers from the previous year
=Original budget
The final budget includes all adjustments to the budget applicable to the fiscal year, even if
they take place after the close of the fiscal year.
During the year, total supplemental appropriations of $511,063 were adopted for the
General Fund. Appropriations are legally controlled at the department level and
expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at that level.

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for specific revenue sources that are restricted to

structures, and facilities. The revenue obtained shall be used solely for carrying out
responsibilities in enforcing Florida Building Code.
Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund — This fund accounts for forfeitures received by the
Police Department. Forfeitures obtained locally are expended as prescribed by Florida Statute
Chapter 932.704. Forfeitures obtained through federal programs are expended according to the
Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program.
Capital Improvement Fund
Capital Improvement Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays including the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. The use of the capital improvement fund

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and
therefore cannot be used to support the government's own programs. Pension trust funds are
fiduciary funds that are used to report resources required to be held in trust for the members and
beneficiaries of defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, other post-employment
benefit plans, or other employee benefit plans. The Village accounts for two defined benefit
plans (Public Safety reports separate trust funds for Police Officers and Firefighters) and a
separate fund is reported for each individual trust fund. The three trust funds are as follows:
Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources and
for contributions and benefits of the firefighter employees.
Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources
and for contributions and benefits of the police employees.
General Employees' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of
resources and for contributions and benefits for the general employees of the Village.

(a) Sources:Palm Beach County and Palm Beach County School Board
Note:For debt repaid with property taxes,the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values.
Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the Village taxable assessed value and dividing it by the Palm Beach
County taxable assessed value. (Data provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office)
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the Village of Tequesta. This schedule
estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the Village of
Tequesta. This process recognizes that, when considering the Village's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden
borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and
therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENTA UDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor,Village Council
and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta,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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Tequesta,
Florida (the "Village"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon
dated March 16, 2022.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village's internal control over
financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 Village's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Village'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. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village'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 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.
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.

We have audited the Village of Tequesta, Florida's (the "Village") compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the
Village's major federal program for the year ended September 30, 2021. The Village's major federal program is
identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned
Costs.
Management's Responsibility

federal awards applicable to its federal program.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Village's major federal program based on our
audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America;the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above
that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence about the Village'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 on compliance for the major federal
program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Village's compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion,the Village complied, in all material respects,with the types of compliance requirements referred
to above that could have a direct and material effect its major federal program for the year ended September 30,
2021.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Village, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of

have a direct and material effect the major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance the major federal program and to test
and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of

opinion on the effectiveness of the Village's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance

A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type
of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than
a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
