To the Honorable Mayor,
Members of the Village Council
And Citizens of the Village of Tequesta, Florida
We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the
Village of Tequesta (the Village) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Publication
of the CAFR meet the requirement of Chapter 11.45 of the Florida Statues, Chapter 10.550
of the rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida which requires the Village to
publish, within nine months of the close of each fiscal year, a complete set of audited
financial statements. The Village of Tequesta’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR), for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 is published not only to meet legal
requirements, but to demonstrate the Village philosophy of transparency by presenting all
disclosures necessary for the reader to gain an understanding of the Village’s financial
activities and condition.
The CAFR’s role is to assist in making economic, social and political decisions and to assist
in assessing accountability to the citizenry. To this end the CAFR compares actual financial
results with legally adopted budgets where appropriate, assesses financial condition and
results of operations, assists in determining compliance with finance related laws, rules and
regulations and assists in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of Tequesta’s
operations.
Additionally,
The financial statements included in this report conform to generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) in the United States of America as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Management provides a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the
basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The
MDA complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the
Village of Tequesta.
Responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of
the presentation is with the management of Tequesta.
To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed for this purpose. Because the
cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Village’s comprehensive
framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute
assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.
i
The Village’s financial statements have been audited by Marcum LLP, independent
auditors, who rendered an unqualified opinion that the Village’s financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. The
independent auditors’ report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
PROFILE OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
The Village of Tequesta, Florida is a municipal corporation organized June 4, 1957 pursuant
to Special Act 57-1915, Laws of Florida. The Village has a Council-Manager form of
government. All powers of the Village are vested in an elected governing body of the
Village consisting of a five member Village Council responsible for enacting ordinances,
resolutions and regulations governing the Village, adopting budgets, determining policies,
as well as appointing the members of various advisory boards and the Village Manager.
The Village Manager executes the laws and administers the government as well as attends
to the day-to-day affairs of the Village.
The Village of Tequesta provides a full range of services, including police and fire
protection; the construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure; recreational
and cultural activities; water and stormwater utilities and contracts for sanitation services.
The Village’s basic operating unit is a department. Departments concentrate their activities
on various functions: general government, public safety, transportation and leisure services.
For fiscal year 2011 the gross taxable value of real, personal and centrally assessed property
was $780 million. The majority of the Village is made up of residential properties.
Commercial properties represent approximately 10% of property values. The Village has
no discernable level of industry.
THE BUDGET FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village of Tequesta’s financial planning
and control. The budget is a policy document which incorporates and reflects the values,
goals and priorities identified by the Village Council and residents. It is also the Village’s
proposed business plan for the fiscal year, outlining the priorities and financial resources to
carry out the Council’s mission of maintaining and enhancing the highest possible level of
public service delivery and quality of life for the Village of Tequesta residents.
Operating budgets, as well as a 5 year capital improvement plan, are adopted on an annual
basis by our governing body. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level;
st
however, the Village manages at the department level. Prior to October 1, the Village
Council adopts the approved budget along with a resolution establishing the property tax
rate (millage) required to fund the budget. Department heads recommend transfers of
budgeted amounts within their department. Supplemental appropriations require the special
approval of the governing council. All annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal
year.
The Village department’s submits their budgets to the Village Manager, who after review
submits the proposed budget to the Village Council. The Village Council reviews the
budget, holds workshops and two public hearings to obtain citizen before approving the
st
budget.. Prior to October 1, the Village Council adopts the approved budget along with a
resolution establishing the property tax rate (millage) required to fund the budget.
Department heads recommend transfers of budgeted amounts within their department. The
ii
Village Council established procedures by which the designated budget officer may
authorize certain budget amendments within a department provided that the total of the
appropriations of the department is not changed, all other transfers and supplemental
appropriations require the approval of the governing council.
Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental
fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the
Village of Tequesta operates.
LOCAL ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The Village of Tequesta is an affluent residential community in Palm Beach County,
Florida. Tequesta’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. The Village is approximately 2 square miles and almost
completely built-out/developed.
Property value assessments for tax year 2011 decreased approximately 7%, which is the
third year the Village has experienced a reduction in property values.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the economic recession officially
began December 2007 and ended June 2009. The Village of Tequesta and many other
governments are still feeling the effect of the longest recession since WWII. By the end of
2011, according to the U.S. Commerce Department, gross domestic product, the broadest
measure of the nations’ economic health, grew at a 2.8% annual rate in the last three months
of the year. However much of the growth came from businesses building up their stock of
goods, and according the Bruce Yandle, an economics professor at Mercatus Center at
George Mason University, this may be something to be worried about if consumers don’t
end up buying as much as firms hoped. At the same time, cuts in state and local
government dragged on economic growth for the sixth quarter in a row.
The Federal Reserve expects the economy to grow between 2.2% and 2.7% in 2012 and
recently announced it plans to keep the federal funds rate near zero until late 2014 because
the economy remains too weak to warrant higher interest rates any time soon.
Although the glut of foreclosed properties has put downward pressure on home prices in
South Florida, with Palm Beach County (the County) faring the worst, there are indications
that Tequesta has experienced less of an exposure to the housing foreclosures than reported
for the County. In 2010, one indicator, the Village of Tequesta’s utility billing data,
identified that less than one-half of a percent (½ %) of the utility billing accounts had been
transferred from individuals to banks or other lending institutions (foreclosed). And we saw
a shrinking of that list in 2011, as banks began to sell these properties. The downside of
these sales are that many of them were distressed and will put a downward pressure on
prices - which will impact Tequesta’s revenue from ad valorem taxes. Additionally, as
noted above in the discussion of national and state trends, the current economic conditions
may be slow to improve.As with other municipalities across the nation, the Village is
iii
challenged with balancing the high expectations and demand for top quality municipal
services with the ability to raise revenue to pay for them.
The Village noticed that revenue from sales taxes were flat, and according to the State of
Florida’s budget report, the expectation is that the sluggish economic recovery is expected
to keep tax dollars from growing significantly. The biggest indicators of an upswing in this
economy are lower unemployment and job growth and there have not been significant
changes in either.
OUR FUTURE
The Village of Tequesta is experiencing the same negative economic environment that is
covering the country and affecting many municipalities. The Village was prudent over the
past few years when it was apparent that the continued increase in credit and property
values could not be sustained by using additional income to pay down debt, to purchase,
construct and repair capital assets with existing cash and to build reserves. In better
economic times these would have been good choices for the Village, in these uncertain
economic times, they give the Village an opportunity to adjust to downward trends without
having to take extreme measures.
However, it is important to note that it is not an easy task for the Village to maintain a
consistent and high level of quality services to the residents in these times, even though the
Village Council, administration and working staff may make it appear that way. It is hard
work, long hours, pay and benefit concessions and the making of fiscally sound, responsible
and sometimes painful decisions by the administration, working staff and Village Council
that prevented the Village from having to increase rates. 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 and an expanded workload and
very importantly, a Village Council that is very responsive to the needs of the residents and
staff.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Due to the state of the economy, the main focus/challenge of long-term financial planning
for the Village of Tequesta continues to be maintaining a high level of services supported by
a stagnant economy. The Village of Tequesta’s primary focus is to identify additional
revenue sources and cost savings. Some of the new revenue sources the Village has
identified include new lease contracts, the contracting of existing services to other
governments. Additionally, Tequesta is looking at contiguous unincorporated pockets,
where annexation would be mutually beneficial. As with so many governments, the Village
will be researching ways to control the growing cost of health care and post retirement
benefits. To this end, a health benefits committee was formed, which includes employees
and representatives from all collective bargaining units, to meet and explore ways to control
and manage these costs while affording employees health care. Tequesta continues to
discuss options with the three collective bargaining units to control the cost of post
retirement benefits.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Review the Village’s investment policies and strategies to protect the Village’s assets
in the current economical environment.
iv
Continue to explore alternative revenue sources, at both the state and federal level,
with the assistance of a professional lobbyist.
Continue to explore annexation of contiguous properties in unincorporated Palm
Beach County.
Seek out new ways to reduce the cost of health care and post retirement benefits.
Complete construction of a new reverse osmosis train reducing demand on surficial
wells and increasing natural water supply.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Tequesta for its comprehensive
annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. This was the twenty-
seventh consecutive year that Tequesta has received this prestigious award. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, Tequesta had to publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized comprehensive annual 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
comprehensive annual 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 Tequesta’s finance department. We would like to
express our appreciation to all members of the department who assisted and contributed to
the preparation of this report.
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 of
Tequesta’s finances.

FINANCIAL SECTION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta, Florida
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, 2011,
which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Village's management. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on these basic 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
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,
2011, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof
for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Village implemented the
requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which significantly changed the
classifications of fund balance of governmental funds.
1
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March
27, 2012 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 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the budgetary comparison schedule, and the schedules
of funding progress and employer contributions on pages 3 to 15 and pages 68 and 71,
respectively, 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, which 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
principally of inquiries of management regarding 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.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory
section, combining and individual fund statements and schedules, and the statistical tables are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied by us 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 financial statements or to the
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, based on our audit,
the information is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The information included in the introductory and statistical sections
have not been subjected to auditing procedures applied by us in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD&A)
As management of the Village of Tequesta (The Village), we offer readers of the Village’s financial
statement this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Village for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2011 to provide information that will help in making decisions or drawing
conclusions about the Village. 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 v of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the Village of Tequesta exceeded its liabilities at the close of fiscal year 2011 by $34
million (net assets). Of this amount, $9 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
ongoing obligations to the citizens and creditors.
The Village’s total net assets increased by $3.3 million (10.8%) during the current fiscal year. This
increase is largely attributable to the donation of $2.7 million in capital assets (Tequesta Bridge).
General revenues decreased $480 thousand (6.4%). This decrease is mainly due to a decrease in
property values resulting in lower revenues from ad valorem (property) taxes.
Total government-wide expenses decreased $485 thousand or 3.4% over the prior year. This was
mainly attributable to the reduced cost of keeping a balanced level of services to all residents, related
to the closing of the “old” Tequesta Bridge and the building of the “new” Tequesta Bridge, as the
bridge was completed and opened.
As of the close of the 2011 fiscal year, the Village’s governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $4.7 million, a decrease of $759 thousand (13.9%) from fiscal year 2010.
Approximately $600 thousand was attributable to the Village’s portion of the construction Tequesta
Bridge in FY 2011.
At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the General Fund was $4.0 million, an increase
of $53 thousand (1.3%) from the prior year. Of this balance, $31 thousand in inventory and $196
thousand in prepaid items were nonspendable; $287 thousand for debt service and $133 thousand of
building permit fees were restricted; $372 of the subsequent year’s budget and $1 million for
Hurricane/disaster were assigned and $2.0 million was unassigned and available for new spending.
The Village’s total non-current liabilities decreased by $426 thousand (4.1%) during the current
fiscal year. Please see, Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Note 7 on page 49.
The Village did not expend $500,000 or more in Federal and/or State financial assistance in the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2011 and for that reason did not meet the threshold for a single audit
according to the Florida Single Audit Act (section 215.97 F.S.) and OMB Circular A-133.

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. In addition to these basic financial statements, this report contains other supplementary
information.
Government-wide financial statements:
Thegovernment-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the Village’s financial position and activities, in a manner
similar to a private-sector business. These statements do not include the Village’s fiduciary funds
because resources of these funds cannot be used to finance the Village’s activities. However, the
financial statements of the fiduciary funds are included in the Village’s fund financial statements because
the Village is financially accountable for those resources, even though they belong to other parties.
TheStatement of Net Assets presents information on the total assets held and total liabilities owed by the
Village, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in
net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Village is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Village’s net assets changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village 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 include general government, public safety,
transportation and leisure services. The business-type activities of the Village include water, stormwater
and refuse and recycling.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16-17 of this report.
Fund financial statements:
Unlike government-wide financial statements, the focus of fund financial
statements is directed to specific activities of the Village rather than the Village as a whole. Except for
the General Fund, separate funds are established to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Village, 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 can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary (pension) funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental fund financial statements consist of a balance sheet and statement of revenues,
expenditures, and change in fund balances. These statements are prepared on an accounting basis that is
significantly different from that used to prepare the government-wide financial statement.
4
In general, these financial statements have a short-term emphasis and, for the most part, measure and
account for cash and other assets that can easily be converted to cash. For this reason, amounts reported
on the balance sheet include items such as cash and receivables collectible within a short period of time,
but do not include capital assets such as land and buildings. Fund liabilities include amounts that are to
be paid within a short period of time after the end of the fiscal year and for that reason do not include long
term debt. The difference between a fund’s total assets and total liabilities is labeled ‘fund balance’. The
operating statement for governmental funds reports only those revenues and expenditures that were
collected or paid during the current period or very shortly after the end of the year.
The balances and activities accounted for in governmental funds are, for the most part, also reported in
the governmental activities columns of the government-wide financial statements. However, because a
different accounting basis is used to prepare the fund financial statements and the government-wide
financial statements, there are often significant differences between the totals presented.
The Village maintains four 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 balance for the General Fund which is considered a major fund. Data from the other
three governmental funds is combined into a single, “Non-Major Funds” column.Individual fund data
for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
The Village of Tequesta’s governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18-20 of this
report.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary fund financial statements consist of a statement of net assets, a statement of revenues,
expenses and changes in fund net assets, and a statement of cash flows. The statements are prepared on an
accounting basis similar to the basis used to prepare the government-wide financial statements. The
Village maintains one type of proprietary fund,Enterprise funds. The Village uses enterprise funds to
account for business type activities that charge fees to customers for the use of specific goods or services.
The Village has three enterprise funds; water, storm-water and refuse and recycling.
The information reported in these 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 which is a major fund. Data from Storm water and Refuse & Recycling
funds are combined into a single, “Non-Major Funds” column.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-23 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 reflected 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’s fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 24-25 of this report.
5
Notes to the financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the basic financial statements can be found on pages 26-66 of this report.
Other information: In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the Village of Tequesta’s progress in
funding its obligation to provide pension benefits and other post employment benefits to its employees.
This section includes a comparison between the Village’s adopted and final budget and actual financial
results. The Village adopts an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds and a budgetary

As noted earlier, net assets may serve, over time, as a useful indicator of the Village’s financial position.
The Village of Tequesta’s total assets exceeded total liabilities by approximately $34 million at the close
of the 2011 fiscal year. The increase from the prior year, of approximately $4.8million (10.8%), is mainly
attributable to a capital asset donation of $2.7 million (related to Tequesta Bridge) and a temporary18%
water rate surcharge that brought in additional revenue for part of fiscal year 2011.
6
The largest portion of the Village’s net assets (74%) represents investments in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, machinery and equipment), less any related outstanding debt 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 Village’s investment in
the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities
capital assets increased $4.8 million due to the donation mentioned above, the Village’s portion
of the construction of Tequesta Bridge and the expansion of the water treatment plant.
The remaining unrestricted net assets of $8.7 million (26 %) may be used to meet the Village’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors. The unrestricted portion of net assets decreased from the prior
period as current assets were used to acquire the capital items mentioned above.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta is able to report positive balances in all
categories of net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities.
Governmental activities:
Governmental activities increased the Village of Tequesta’s net assets by $2.3
million, accounting for 71% of the total increase in net assets of the Village. Key elements of the decrease
are as follows:

Governmental activities continued:
Property taxes decreased $302 thousand (6.5%) due to decreasing property values and the Village
Council’s decision to keep the current millage rate unchanged.
Revenues from other taxes decreased $48 thousand (3.7%). The largest decrease was attributable to
revenues from electric utility taxes, which was offset by an increase in water utility taxes.
Investment earnings decreased $38 thousand reflecting lower interest rates offered by banks.
$286 thousand of the increase in charges for services was related to a settlement of code enforcement
fines and increased building permit fees.
Revenue from Charges for Services related to the function of General Government, increased as the
Planning department was separated from building for budgeting purposes and was reported in the
general government function in fiscal year 2011.
Revenue from Capital Grants and Contributions increased $2.7 million, as the Village recognized a
donation of capital assets (Tequesta Bridge). This revenue is reported within the Transportation
function resulting in revenues exceeding expenses in that function.
Expenses decreased $300 thousand from the prior period. This 3% decrease is due primarily to a
reduction in the cost of public safety. In the prior year the Village incurred a higher cost in supplying
public safety services due to the closing of Tequesta Bridge.
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. The cost of all governmental activities this year was $4.5 million – a reduction of
44%. As noted above this change is due to a large donation of $2.7 related to Tequesta Bridge. As shown
8
on the Statement of Activities, the functions directly benefiting from the programs generated revenue of
$4.7 million towards this cost and the remaining $4.6 million was financed through general revenues
($6.9 million).
The following is a comparative chart of revenues by source for governmental activities for fiscal year
2011 and 2010.
Business-type activities:
The net assets of business-type activities increased $975 thousand (5.4%) from
the prior year. Key elements of this increase are as follows.
Charges for services increased by $525 thousand (10.9%) due mainly to the implementation of an
18% water conservation surcharge for a portion of the fiscal year. The surcharge was removed within
the fiscal year.
Net assets in the Refuse and Recycling Fund decreased $7 thousand (6.8%).
The Stormwater Fund recorded an increase in net assets of $122 thousand, as revenues remained
constant but budgeted drainage improvements were rescheduled for the following fiscal year.
9
Operating income for all business type activities improved from $442 thousand in 2010 to
$1.1million in 2011. Operating expenses in the nonmajor funds remained basically unchanged from
the prior year, while the major fund, Water Utility, decreased its operating expenses by $113
thousand. As noted earlier, the most significant change in the results in operations overall is
attributable to a temporary increase in the water utility charges for services.

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. For fiscal year 2011 the Village of Tequesta implemented GASB
Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund type Definitions.
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 the Village’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, The Village of Tequesta’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $4,721,693, a decrease of $759,148 (13.9%) from the prior year.$2.0 million
(42.6%) of the total amount of fund balance constitutes Unassigned Fund Balance, which is available for
spending at the government’s discretion. Additionally, the Village has Non-Spendable Fund Balance of
$228 thousand (4.8%) representing inventories and prepaiditems; Restricted Fund Balance of $465
thousand (9.9%), Assigned Fund Balance of $2.0 million (42.6%) which includes $1 million for Disaster
Relief and $573 thousand for subsequent year’s expenditures.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village. At September 30, 2011, unassigned fund
balance of the General Fund was $2.0 million while total fund balance was $4.0 million.As ameasure of
the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund
balance to total fund expenditures and other financing uses. Unassigned fund balance represents 22% of
fiscal year 2011 General Fund expenditures and total fund balance represents 53% of the total
expenditures. The ratio of total fund balance to expenditures has decreased from the prior year when total
fund balance represented 54% of total expenditures. This is the third year that these ratios have decreased
representing a growing gap between revenues and expenditures.
Total General Fund revenues decreased by $45 thousand (0.5%) compared with the prior year. The most
significant reason for the decrease in revenues is the continued reduction in property values. Increases in
other revenue sources (specifically the collection of code enforcement fines from one property totaling
$186 thousand and an increase in building permit fees) were able to reduce, but not completely offset the
effect of the reduction in this major revenue source. Some specific key factors and how they have
affected the Village’s revenues are as follows;
The Village continued to suffer the effect of lower property values which resulted in reduced
proceeds from ad-valorem taxes of $302 thousand.
The Village reviewed and corrected its fee schedule for licenses and permits to better reflect fees
charged by other communities. Revenue from licenses and permits increased $53 thousand.
Charges for services increased $201 thousand (29%). In the prior year this revenue was offset by a
write-off of EMS transportation fees of $89 thousand.
Investment earnings decreased $38 thousand as interest rates continued to decline and banks offered
rates averaging 0.25%.
Revenue from utility taxes, communication services taxes and other taxes decreased only (4.7%) due
to the continued slow-down in the economy.

Total expenditures 8,966,721 100% (303,961)-3% 9,270,682
In fiscal year 2011, total General fund expenditures decreased by $304 thousand (6.8%) compared to the
prior year.
As noted earlier, the largest portion of this increase (5%) was in the public safety function and is
related to a reduction in to cost related to the closing of Tequesta Bridge in FY 2010.
The change in Capital Outlay is related to the purchase of a fire rescue vehicle in 2010.
Ending fund balances for the Capital Projects Fund is $213 thousand and the Capital Improvement fund is
$434 thousand. These funds are designated for capital projects/improvements. These funds receive
revenue from capital grants and transfers in from other funds.
Proprietary funds:
The Village’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The table below summarizes the operating income (loss) and the change in net assets for each of the
Village’s proprietary funds. At the end of the year, total net assets of the proprietary funds were
$18,988,102 a 5.4% increase from the prior year ($976 thousand). As explained above in the discussion
13
in the government-wide financial statements, the majority of the increase is due mainly to a temporary
increase in fees related to water restrictions. Other factors concerning the finances of this major fund
have already been addressed in the discussion of the Village’s business-type activities.

Long-term Debt: At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village had no general obligation bonded debt.
All of the Village’s outstanding debt is secured by general revenue sources. The table below summarizes
the Village’s debt position. A more detailed explanation can be found in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt on
pages 46 -49.
Economic Factor and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The Village Council’s decision to hold the millage rate at 5.7671 mills will result in a reduction in tax
revenues as property values continue to decline.
Interest rates remain low which will continue to affect investment earnings.
Revenues from sales taxes continue to be flat and current trends are not predicting any immediate
change unless consumer confidence increases.
The Village is working on the annexation of surrounding properties.
The unemployment rate for the Village of Tequesta at December, 2011 is 9.9% - this rate peaked in
December 2010 at 12%.
The Village of Tequesta’s water rates increased 3.77% on October 1, 2011.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the Village of Tequesta’s budget for the 2011-2012
fiscal year.

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, 2011
.
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (Page 19)(759,148)$
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.
The details of the differences are as follows:
Capital outlay973,810
Depreciation expense(729,786)
Net adjustment244,024
Donations of capital assets increase net assets in the statement of activities,
but do not appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial
resources. 2,689,627
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.
The detail of the differences are as follows:
Principal payments:
Notes payable227,514
Capital leases43,521
Net adjustment271,035
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the
use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds:

OTEUMMARY OF IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES
The Village of Tequesta, Florida 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. The Village’s major operations include public safety (police, fire
rescue/EMS), streets and roads, culture and recreation, public improvements, planning and
zoning, water, stormwater, recycling services and general and administrative. The financial
statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body
for establishing governmental and financial reporting principles. The more significant of
the Village’s accounting policies are described below:
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with governmental accounting
standards, which establishes standards for defining and reporting on the financial reporting
entity. 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. The Village has no
component units to report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.
The government-wide financial statements distinguish between the governmental and
business-type activities of the Village. Governmental activities are those supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities rely to a significant extent
on fees and charges for support.
Government-wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement
of Activities. These statements report on the government as a whole and provide a
consolidated financial picture of the government. Fiduciary funds (the Village’s pension
trust funds) are excluded from this presentation as the assets are held for the benefit of a
third party (members and beneficiaries) and cannot be used to address activities or
obligations of the Village.

OTEUMMARY OF IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES CONTINUED
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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 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.
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. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All remaining nonmajor
governmental funds or proprietary funds are aggregated and reported as other governmental
or nonmajor funds.
Since the governmental fund financial statements are presented on a different measurement
focus and basis of accounting than the government-wide statements, a reconciliation is
provided which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to reconcile the results of
governmental fund accounting to the government-wide presentations.
The Village’s fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements. Since by
definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (pension participants)
and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the government, these funds are
not incorporated into the government-wide statements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. 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.

OTEUMMARY OF IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES CONTINUED
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 45 days of the end of the fiscal year. Expenditures are
recorded when a liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only
when payment is due.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, grant revenues and investment earnings
associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and
are recorded as earned as they are measurable and available. All other revenues are
considered measurable and available only when cash is received by the Village.
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for using a separate
set of self-balancing accounts, which comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equities, revenues
and expenditures or expenses. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance
and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government
functions or activities.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America set forth
minimum criteria (percentage of the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of
either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined), for the determination of
major funds. The nonmajor funds are presented in one column in the fund financial
statements.
The Village reports the following major governmental fund:
TheGeneral Fund is the Village’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.

OTEUMMARY OF IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES CONTINUED
The Village reports the following major proprietary fund:
The Water Fund is used to account for the activities of the water utility, which includes
the processing and distribution of potable water to Village residents and some
surrounding communities.
Additionally, the Village reports the following fiduciary funds:
Thepension trust funds account for the activities of the Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund,
the Police Officers’ Pension Trust Fund and the General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund.
These funds accumulate resources for pension benefits to qualified employees.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The Village has the option of following
subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The Village has elected not to follow subsequent private-
sector guidance.
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 and
other charges between the Village utility functions and various other functions of the
Village. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues
rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
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 Village’s water utility, stormwater utility and refuse
and recycling funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for
proprietary funds include the costs of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.

N1–SSAP()
OTEUMMARY OF IGNIFICANT CCOUNTING OLICIES CONTINUED
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village’s
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
1. Deposits and Investments
The Village’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand and
time deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less
from the date of acquisition. State statutes authorize the Village to invest in obligations
of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities, commercial paper, corporate
bonds, repurchase agreements, the State Board Investment Pool and the Florida
Municipal Investment Trust. The Village maintains a cash and investment pool that is
available for use by all funds with the exception of the Water Utility which has separate
accounts with the State Board of Administration (SBA). Pooled cash is classified as
“Cash and Cash Equivalents” in the Statement of Net Assets and pooled investments are
combined with other separate investments and classified as “Investments.” Interest
income earned as a result of pooling is distributed to the appropriate funds based on the
month end equity balance in each fund.
All investments, except the State Board Investment Pool, are reported at fair value, which
is based on quoted market prices. The Investment Pool is segregated into the Florida
PRIME which is recorded at its value of the pool shares (2a7-like fund) which is fair value
and Fund B which is accounted for as a fluctuating NAV pool and is reported based on the
fair value factor.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “due to/from other funds”. Any
residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type
activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
All trade and other receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Allowances for uncollectible receivables are based upon historical trends and the
periodic aging of receivables.
Water charges to customers are based on actual water consumption. Consumption is
based upon a monthly cycle. The Village recognizes revenue and a related receivable for
th
unbilled consumption as of September 30 of each year.

3. Inventories
Inventories of the general fund are valued at cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded
as an expenditure when the individual inventory items are used.
Inventories of the Water Fund are valued at lower of cost (determined using the weighted
average) or market and consist of pipes, valves, fittings and meters. The cost is recorded
as an expense when the individual inventory items are put into service.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and certain
infrastructure assets (e.g., utility plant, roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements. In the case of the initial capitalization of general
infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the Village chose to
include all such items regardless of their acquisition date. Capital assets are defined by the
Village as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated
useful life in excess of one year and $25,000 for intangibles with an estimated useful life
in excess of one year. Purchased or constructed assets are recorded at actual cost or
estimated historical cost if actual cost is unavailable. Donated capital assets are recorded
at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend the asset’s life are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and
improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the asset constructed.
Capital assets of the Village are depreciated using the straight line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20 –40 years
Improvements other than buildings20 –50 years
Infrastructure 20 –50 years
Machinery and equipment 2 –15 years

5. Compensated Absences
It is the Village’s policy to permit employees to accumulate within certain limits, earned
but unused vacation time, sick leave and compensatory time which will be paid to
employees upon separation from Village service. All vacation, sick leave pay and
compensatory time is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. In the governmental funds, a liability is recorded only for
unused vacation and sick leave payouts for employees who have separated, for example,
as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
6. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as
issuance costs and refunding gains/losses, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using the straight-line amortization method. Bonds payable are reported net of
the applicable bond premium or discount and refunding gains/losses.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of
debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances
are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as
other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt
proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

Nature and Purpose of Classifications of Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the Village is bound to
honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be
spent. Amounts that are restricted to specific purposes either by a) constraints placed on
the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation are classified as restricted fund balances. Amounts that can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the Village Council through an
ordinance or resolution are classified as committed fund balances. Amounts that are

Nature and Purpose of Classifications of Fund Equity (continued)
constrained by the Village’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither
restricted nor committed are classified as assigned fund balances. Assignments are made
by Village management based on Council direction. Non-spendable fund balances
include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or
(b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. 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.
Restricted fund balance will be spent before unrestricted fund balance when an
expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed,
assigned and unassigned) amounts are available.
Additionally, the Village would first use
committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance
when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund
balance classifications could be used.
The Village’s policy is to maintain an adequate General Fund fund balance to provide
liquidity in the event of an economic downturn or natural disaster. The Village Council
has adopted a financial standard to maintain a General Fund minimum unassigned fund
balance of two months of General Fund operating expenditures.
8. Net Assets
Net assets of the government-wide and proprietary funds are categorized as invested in
capital assets, net of related debt; restricted or unrestricted. Invested in capital assets,
net of related debt, is that portion of net assets that relates to the Village’s capital assets
reduced by accumulated depreciation and by any outstanding debt incurred to acquire,
construct or improve those assets, excluding unexpended proceeds.
Restricted net assets is that portion of net assets that has been restricted for general use
by external parties (creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments) or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation. Unrestricted net assets consist of all net assets that do not meet the
definition of either of the other two components.

County. Discounts are allowed for early payment of 4% in November, 3% in December,
2% in January and1% in February. If property taxes are not paid by April 1, the County
adds a 3% penalty on real estate and a 1 ½% penalty on personal property.
The Tax Collector advertises and sells tax certificates on all real property for delinquent
taxes. Certificates not sold revert back to the County. The Tax Collector must receive
payment before the certificates are issued. Any person owning land on which a tax
certificate has been sold may redeem the land by paying the Tax Collector the face amount
of the tax certificate plus interest and other costs. 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. The County, as a certificate owner, may exercise similar procedures two years
after taxes have been delinquent. 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 at least 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. The Village has no control over the investment
program of the Tax Collector as this program is governed by State statutes
.

OTEEPOSITS AND NVESTMENTS
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 Treasurer, by rule, shall determine the
collateral requirements and collateral pledging level for each qualified public depository.
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, 2011, none of the Village’s
primary bank balances were exposed to custodial credit risk.
The Village has adopted an investment policy in accordance with Florida Statutes to
establish guidelines for the efficient management of its cash reserves. The Village 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

the 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 and the Fund B
Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Fund B), both of which are governed by Chapter 19-7 of the
Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and 215 of the Florida Statutes. These rules
provide guidance and establish the policies and general operating procedures for the
administration of the Florida PRIME and Fund B. GASB 31 applies to Florida PRIME and
Fund B. The Florida PRIME is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC); however, the Board has adopted operating procedures consistent with
the requirements for a 2a-7-like fund, which permits money market funds to use amortized
cost to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share.
The fair value of the position in the Florida PRIME is equal to the value of the pool shares.
Fund B does not meet the requirement of an SEC a-7-like fund and therefore is accounted
for as a fluctuating NAV pool. As of September 30, 2011, the fair value factor for Fund B
was $.7568386 per share. Fund B is not subject to participant withdrawal requests.
Distributions from Fund B, as determined by the SBA, are effected by transferring eligible
cash or securities to the Florida PRIME, consistent with the pro rata allocation of pool
shareholders of record at the creation of Fund B. One hundred percent of such distributions
from Fund B are available as a liquid balance within the Florida PRIME. The investments
in the Florida PRIME and Fund B are not insured by FDIC or any other governmental
agency.

adversely affect an investment’s fair value. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the
greater the exposure to interest rate risk. The Village’s investment policy disallows the

The Plans invest in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to
various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes
in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and, that such changes
could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of plan net assets for each
Plan. The Plans, through their investment advisors, monitor Plan investments and the risks
associated therewith on a regular basis which each Plan believes minimizes these risks.
Contributions to the Plans are made and the actuarial present value of accumulated plan
benefits are reported based on certain assumptions pertaining to interest rates, inflation rates
and employee demographics, all of which are subject to change. Due to uncertainties
inherent in the estimations and assumptions process, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in these estimates and assumptions in the near term would be material to the

UNDING OLICY
The FRS funding policy provides for monthly employer contributions at actuarially
determined rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll along with a
required 3% employee contribution, are adequate to accumulate sufficient assets to pay
benefits when due. Level percentages of payroll employer contribution rates, established
by State law, are determined using the entry-age actuarial cost method. The level
percentages of payroll method is also used to amortize the unfunded liability over a period
of 30 years, and to amortize each change in actuarial assumptions.
The employer contribution rates by job class for the Village’s employees at September 30,
2011 were as follows: regular employees – 4.91%, special risk employees – 14.10% and
employees participating in the DROP – 4.42%. The regular and special risk employees’
rates include 1.11% for the employer Health Insurance Subsidy contribution and 0.03% for
an administrative fee. The DROP rate includes the 1.11 percent Health Insurance Subsidy
contribution but the 0.03% administrative fee does not apply to DROP participants.
The Village’s contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, 2010
and 2011 were $165,716, $155,540 and $131,421 respectively, which were equal to the
required contributions for each fiscal year.

OTEENSION LANS
The Village maintains two single employer defined benefit pension plans, the Public Safety
Officers’ Pension Trust Fund and the General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund (GPTF).
Since the Public Safety Officers’ Plan receives contributions that may not be used to pay
benefits of all employee classes, two separate pension trust funds, the Firefighters’ Pension
Trust Fund (FPTF) and the Police Officers’ Pension Trust Fund (PPTF) are reflected in the
financial statements. The General Employee’s Plan is also reflected as a pension trust fund in
the financial statements.

Basis of Accounting
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, as calculated by each Plan’s actuary, 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. Expenses are recognized in the accounting period incurred.
Method Used to Value Investments
Investments are reported at fair value, which is determined as follows: securities traded on a
national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business
day of the fiscal year; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales was reported on that date are valued at the last reported bid price.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair value of investments includes the difference between the cost and
the fair value of investments held, as well as the net realized gains or losses from securities
sold. Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on average cost. Dividend and interest
income is recorded as earned.

Plan Description
The Public Safety Officers’ Trust Fund is a single-employer defined benefit plan
administered by a five-member Board of Trustees that covers all Village police officers and
firefighters hired after 1996 (prior to 1996, the Village participated in the Florida
Retirement System). The Plan is also governed by Chapters 112, 175 and 185, Florida
Statutes.
Any firefighter or police officer who completes six or more years of credited service and
attains age 55, or completes 25 years of credited service and attains age 52, is eligible for
normal retirement benefits. The monthly retirement benefit shall be equal to 3% for the
first six (6) years of service, 3.5% for the next four (4) years of service, 4% for the next five
(5) years of service, 3% for the next six (6) years of service, 2% for the next four (4) years
of service and 3% for all years after twenty-five years of service. Early retirement may be
taken after a firefighter or police office attained the age of 50 and has six (6) years of
credited service. In the event of early retirement, benefits are actuarially reduced to take
into account the firefighter or police officer’s younger age and earlier commencement of
retirement benefits. Such reduction shall not exceed 3% per year. Disability benefits can
be received for total and permanent disabilities as determined by the Board of Trustees. If
the pension is granted, the benefit amount shall be as follows:
If the injury or disease is service connected, the firefighter or police officer shall be entitled
to the greater of (a) or (b):
(a)A monthly pension equal to 42% of his/her average monthly compensation as of his/her
disability retirement date, or
(b)The accrued normal retirement benefit.
If the injury or disease is not service connected, the firefighter or police officer shall be
entitled to the greater of (a) or (b):
(a)A monthly pension equal to 25% of his/her average monthly compensation as of his/her
disability retirement date, or
(b)The accrued normal retirement benefit.

Plan Description (continued)
If the firefighter or police officer dies prior to retirement from the Village, his beneficiary
shall receive the following benefit:
(a)Line-of-Duty-Death-Benefit – a pension to the spouse (or children) of 50% of Average
Final Compensation for life.
(b)Non-Line-of- Duty-Death – the spouse of a member with six years of credited service
will receive the actuarial equivalent of the accrued early or normal retirement benefit.
If the firefighter or police officer dies or terminates employment with less than six years of
credited service, he/she is entitled to a refund of the money he/she contributed.
All retirees and beneficiaries receiving pension benefits will be paid a monthly
supplemental benefit equal to $20 per month for each year of the member’s Credited
Service up to a maximum of $600. The supplemental benefit ceases upon the later of the
death of the retired member or beneficiary.
Funding Policy
Contribution requirements of Plan members and the Village are established, by and may be
amended only by the Village Council. Firefighters and police officers are required to
contribute 5% of their compensation to the Plan. Pursuant to Chapters 175 and 185 of the
Florida Statutes, premium taxes on certain property and casualty insurance contracts written
on Village properties is collected by the State and is remitted to the Plan. The amount of
insurance premium taxes collected by the Village totaled $183,321 for the year ended
September 30, 2011, $128,337 for property insurance contracts for firefighters under
Chapter 175 and $54,983 for casualty insurance contracts for police officers under Chapter
185. This amount was recognized as a revenue and an expenditure in the General Fund.
Employer contributions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 determined using the
actuarial valuation dated October 1, 2009 were 17.45% of covered payroll for police
officers and 23.87% of covered payroll for firefighters. The Village is required to contribute
the remaining amounts necessary to finance the benefits based on actuarially determined
amounts. Unearned contributions as of September 30, 2011 were $33,781 and $29,757 for
firefighters and police officers accordingly. However, the Village prepaid contributions were
$70,455 for firefighters and $33,130 for police officers, that will be recognized in the
subsequent period. This amount was netted against contributions receivable for financial
statements presentation.

Plan Description
The General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund is a single employer defined benefit plan
administered by a five member Board of Trustees that covers all Village general employees
hired after 1996 (prior to 1996, the Village participated in the Florida Retirement System).
Any general employee who attains age 62, or completes 30 years of credited service
regardless of age, is eligible for normal retirement benefits. The monthly amount of normal
retirement income for a general employee is equal to the number of years of credited
service multiplied by 2% of his average highest compensation. Early retirement may be
taken after a general employee has attained the age of 50 and has six (6) years of credited
service. In the event of early retirement, benefits are actuarially reduced to take into
account the general employee younger age and earlier commencement of retirement
benefits. Such reduction shall not exceed 5% per year. Disability benefits can be received
for total and permanent disabilities as determined by the Board of Trustees. If the pension
is granted, the benefit amount shall be as follows:
If the injury or disease is service connected, the general employee shall be entitled to the
greater of (a) or (b):
(a)A monthly pension equal to 42% of his/her average monthly compensation as of his
disability retirement date, or
(b)An amount equal to the number of years of his/her credited service multiplied by 2% of
his average monthly salary based upon his final five years of service.
If the injury or disease is not service connected, the general employee shall be entitled to
the greater of (a) or (b):
(a)A monthly pension equal to 25% of his/her average monthly compensation based on his
final five (5) years of service, or
(b)An amount equal to the number of years of his/her credited service multiplied by 2% of
his average monthly salary based upon his final five years of service.
If the general employee dies prior to retirement from the Village, the beneficiary shall
receive an amount equal to the vested pension benefit. A survivor benefit is payable to the
beneficiary starting when the member would have reached retirement age.
If the general employee dies or terminates employment with less than six years of credited
service, he is entitled to a refund of the money contributed.

The aggregate actuarial cost method was used to determine the annual required contribution
of the employer for the General Employees Pension Fund for the 2011 fiscal year. Because
this method does not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities,
information about the Plan’s funded status and funding progress has been prepared using
the entry age actuarial cost method for that purpose, and the information presented is
intended to serve as a surrogate for the funded status and funding progress of the Plans. The
Police and Firefighters’ Pension Plan has a twenty (20) year amortization period that is
closed.
The Village’s 2011 annual pension cost and net pension asset for each Plan are shown
below.

The Village provides an optional single employer defined benefit post-employment
healthcare plan to eligible individuals. The plan allows its employees and their
beneficiaries, at their own cost, to continue to obtain health, dental and other insurance
benefits upon retirement. The benefits of the plan conform to Florida Statutes, which are
the legal authority for the plan. The plan has no assets and does not issue a separate
financial report.

The Village does not directly make a contribution to the plan on behalf of retirees. Retirees
and their beneficiaries pay the same group rates as are charged to the Village for active
employees by its healthcare provider. However, the Village’s actuaries, in their actuarial
valuation, calculate an offset to the cost of these benefits as an Employer Contribution,
based upon an implicit rate subsidy. This offset equals the total age-adjusted costs paid by
the Village or its active employees for coverage of the retirees and their dependents for the
year net of the retiree’s own payments for the year. The annual other post employment
benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the
employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45.
The annual required contribution represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing
basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial
liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The annual OPEB cost for the Village for the current year and the related information is as

UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll11.80%
The actuarial valuation for the calculation of OPEB involves estimates of the value of
reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events in the future. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of
the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The required schedule of funding
progress presented as required supplementary information is designed to provide multi-year
trend information to show whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or
decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. However, the
Village has not contributed assets to the plan at this time.
Projections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits in force at the valuation date
and the pattern of sharing benefit costs between the Village and the plan members to that
point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and employ methods and
assumptions that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities
and the actuarial value of assets. Significant methods and assumptions were as follows:

On December 20, 1994, the Village entered into an Interlocal agreement with Palm Beach
County. Per the agreement, Palm Beach County provided for partial funding, land
acquisition and design and construction of a branch library within Tequesta. Upon
completion of the project, the library was leased to Palm Beach County for 50 years for an
annual rent of one dollar. In the event the Village terminates the lease before the end of 50
years, the Village must reimburse Palm Beach County a depreciated value using a useful
life of 25 years based on an initial value of $405,000 calculated on a straight-line basis.

Waste Management the exclusive franchise for solid waste collection of residential,
commercial, industrial and roll-off refuse, recycling and vegetative waste. The Village, on
August 5, 2010, entered into the first amendment to the agreement separating the diesel fuel

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, the
Village 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 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 and business income 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 properties valued under
$100,000. FMIT issued members in good standing a return of premium credit; the Village
of Tequesta received a total credit of $20,422 in fiscal year 2011 related to policy year
2008/2009.
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. The final audit by the FMIT for fiscal year 2010/2011
resulted in the Village being refunded a total of $5,493, due mostly to a decrease in the
workers’ compensation audited payroll numbers.

OTEUDGETS AND UDGETARY CCOUNTING
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year
for the General Fund, Special Revenue Fund and Capital Projects Funds. All budgets are
legally enacted through passage of a resolution.
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.
The Village follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
st
1)Prior to September 1, the Village Manager submits to the Village Council a
st
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1.
The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them.
2)Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
st
3)Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through adoption of a resolution.
As the original budgeted appropriations were adopted by resolution, all changes to the total
appropriations of a fund must be adopted by resolution. Budget amendments for items in
excess of $5,000, capital items or amendments transferring funds between unrelated
departments are presented to the Village Council for approval. Budget amendments not
requiring Village Council approval are submitted by departments to the Finance
Department and the Village Manager for approval. During the year, total supplemental
appropriations of $534,578 were approved and adopted for the General Fund.
Appropriations are legally controlled at the fund level and expenditures may not legally
exceed budgeted appropriations at that level. Appropriations lapse at year end.

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 PBC taxable
assessed value. (Data provided by the PBC 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.

COMPLIANCE SECTION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITHGOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of
Tequesta, Florida (the Village) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, which
collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon
dated March 27, 2012. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Village’s internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting.
Adeficiency 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Village’s financial statements will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting 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 financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
101
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 determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances
of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Mayor, Village Council,
management, and regulatory agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

MANAGEMENT LETTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE
AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities,
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, 2011, and
have issued our report thereon dated March 27, 2012.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. We have issued our
Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance
and Other Matters. Disclosures in that report, which is dated March 27, 2012, should be considered
in conjunction with this management letter.
Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General, which governs the conduct of local governmental entity audits performed in the State of
Florida. This letter includes the following information, which is not included in the
aforementioned auditors’ report;
Section 10.554(1)(i)1., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether or
not corrective actions have been taken to address significant findings and recommendations
made in the preceding annual financial audit report. There were no findings or
recommendations reported in the preceding annual financial report.
Section 10.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires our audit to include a review of
the provisions of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds.
In connection with our audit, we determined that the Village complied with Section 218.415,
Florida Statutes.
Section 10.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address in the
management letter any recommendations to improve financial management. In connection
with our audit, we did not have any such recommendations.
Section 10.554(1)(i)4., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address violations of
contracts or grant agreements, or abuses that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred,
that have an effect on the financial statements that is less than material but more than
inconsequential. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.
103
Section 10.554(1)(i)5., Rules of the Auditor General, provides that the auditor may, based
on professional judgment, report the following matters that have an inconsequential effect
on the financial statements, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors: (1)
violations of provisions of contracts or grant agreements, fraud, illegal acts, or abuse, and
(2) deficiencies in internal control that are not significant deficiencies. In connection with
our audit, we did not have any such findings.
Section 10.554(1)(i)6., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that the name or official title
and legal authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting
entity be disclosed in this management letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements. The Village was incorporated in 1957 By Laws of Florida 57-1915. There are
no component units related to the Village.
Section 10.554(1)(i)7.a., Rules of the Auditor General, requires a statement be included as
to whether or not the local governmental entity has met one or more of the conditions
described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes, and identification of the specific
condition(s) met. In connection with our audit, we determined that the Village did not meet
any of the conditions described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes.
Section 10.554(1)(i)7.b., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether
the annual financial report for the Village for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011,
filed with the Florida Department of Financial Services pursuant to Section 218.32(1)(a),
Florida Statutes, is in agreement with the annual financial audit report for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2011. In connection with our audit, we determined that these two
reports were in agreement.
Section 10.554(1)(i)7.c. and 10.556(7), Rules of the Auditor General, we applied financial
condition assessment procedures. It is management’s responsibility to monitor the
Village’s financial condition, and our financial condition assessment was based in part on
representations made by management and the review of financial information provided by
same. The assessment was done as of the fiscal year end.
Pursuant to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, this management letter is a public record and its
distribution is not limited. Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
require us to indicate that this letter is intended solely for the information of the Mayor, Village
Council, management, and the Florida Auditor General, and is not intended to be and should not
be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
