INTRODUCTORY SECTION
i Village of Tequesta 345 Tequesta Drive Tequesta, Florida 33469-0273 (561) 768-0424 www.Tequesta.org March 29, 2013 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 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.
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, 2012 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 (MDA). 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.
ii 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. 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, 2012 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 2012 the gross taxable value of real, personal and centrally assessed property
was $765 million. The majority of the Village is made up of residential properties. Commercial properties represent approximately 10% of property values. The Village has no discernible
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 a plan that outlines the priorities and financial resources
to maintain and enhance the highest possible level of public service and quality of life for the Village of Tequesta residents. It is the Village’s business plan for the fiscal year
-a plan that challenges us to find the point of balance between revenues & expenditures and expectations & outcomes – a plan that challenges us to identify and provide the services for
which our residents are willing and able to pay. The budget planning process begins with departments meeting with finance to review their current budget and determine future needs. Departments
submit their budgets to the Village Manager, who reviews, approves and submits the proposed budget(s) to the Village Council. The Village Council holds workshops and two public hearings
to obtain citizen
iii input before approving the budget. Prior to October 1st, the Village Council adopts the approved budget along with a resolution establishing the property tax rate (millage) required
to fund the budget The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level; however, the Village manages at the department level. During the year, the Village Manager and the Budget
Officer may approve requests for interdepartmental transfers that do not result in an increase to a department’s overall budget. Supplemental appropriations require the special approval
of the Village Council. All annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. The 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. The approved budget is entered into the Village’s General Ledger software and budget-toactual reports are sent to the Village Manager daily. Additionally,
monthly budget-to-actual reports are sent to the Village Council as part of the Manager’s monthly reports. Budget-toactual 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 2012 decreased approximately 2%, which is the fourth year the Village has experienced a reduction in property values. According to the National
Bureau of Economic Research, the economic “Great” recession officially ended June 2009. Its’ effects, however, are still being felt by state and local governments. According to Tracy
Gordon of the Brookings Institution, “…Although state taxes have been rebounding, local property taxes have dipped, consistent with a two to three year lag between home prices and property
tax rolls…These are critical issues because states and localities perform most of the activities we commonly associate with government…” Some good news from the Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities is that the budget gaps that states and localities have had to close are shrinking. However, spending cuts resulting from actions taken to close the spending gaps are
being blamed for delaying the economic recovery. Consequently, some data is suggesting that even though
iv the revenue outlook is trending upward and budget shortfalls are shrinking, revenues may not get back to normal until 2019 for many states. There is some better news from the fourth
quarter 2012 U.S. Forecast; real consumer spending is expected to grow an average of 2.5% during 2013-2016, housing market recovery is in the making and new housing starts is expected
to double by 2016, payroll employment is expected to reach prerecession levels in the third quarter of 2014 and unemployment rates are expected to gradually fall to 6.1% in the fourth
quarter of 2016. OUR FUTURE The Village of Tequesta has always spent conservatively while providing the highest quality services to its residents. We continue to cautiously watch the
“gap” between revenues and expenditures to protect the investments our residents have made in their community. It has not been easy to maintain a consistent and high level of quality
services to the residents in these times. It is the result of 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 allowed the Village to meet service demands while minimizing the financial burden on its residents. The Village is very
fortunate to have a citizenry that is active on many boards and committees, a working staff that has shown its willingness to take on additional responsibilities, an expanded, sometimes
exhausting, workload and very importantly, a Village Council that is very responsive to the needs of the residents and staff and who donate so much of their time to this special community.
If the future of a community is dependent on its people, then the future of Tequesta is bright and we will successfully meet the challenges that come before us. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The Village of Tequesta’s primary focus is to identify additional revenue sources and cost savings. The Village is focusing on annexation to generate new revenue and is funding a branding
initiative to make future residents aware of the benefits of joining the Village. Additionally the Village is looking to expand the services it provides for other governments. The Village
has been researching ways to control the growing cost of health care and post retirement benefits and has implemented changes and negotiated concessions with the current bargaining units.
Tequesta continues to discuss options with the three collective bargaining units to control the cost of post retirement benefits. MAJOR INITIATIVES • 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.
v 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, 2011. This was the twentyeighth 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Marcum LLP n 525 Okeechobee Boulevard n Suite 750 n West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 n Phone 561.653.7300 n Fax 561.653.7301 n marcumllp.com 1 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, 2012, 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, 2012,
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. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 28, 2013 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.
2 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 67 to 69, 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 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 City’s financial statements as
a whole. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements
that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not
a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly,
we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. West Palm Beach, FL March 28, 2013
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 3 As management of the Village of Tequesta, 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, 2012 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 2012 by $34 million (net assets). Of this amount, $8.4 million (unrestricted
net assets) may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to the citizens and creditors. • There was no significant change in the Village’s total net assets of $34 million during the 2012
fiscal year. • In FY 2011 the Village recognized a donation from the Florida Department of Transportation (the FDOT built and donated Tequesta Bridge) resulting in a large increase in
revenues for that year. The Village did not have any large grants or donations in FY 2012 which resulted in the Village showing a significant decrease in revenues for FY 2012. • Government-wide
expenses increased 3.7% ($512 thousand) with the largest increases in Public Safety ($221 thousand) and Water Utility ($188 thousand). • At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balances
for all governmental funds was $4.3 million, a decrease of $386 thousand (8.3%) from the prior year. Of this balance, $37 thousand in inventory and $142 thousand in prepaid items were
nonspendable; $306 thousand for debt service and $243 thousand of building permit fees were restricted; $884 of the subsequent year’s budget and $1 million for Hurricane/disaster were
assigned and $1.5 million was unassigned and available for new spending. • The Village’s total non-current liabilities decreased by $591 thousand (5.9%) during the current fiscal year.
Please see details in the Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Note 7 on page 48. • The Village did not expend $500,000 or more in Federal and/or State financial assistance in the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2012 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 required and other supplementary information. Government-wide financial statements: The government-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
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 4 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. The Statement 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 included general
government, public safety, transportation and leisure services. The business-type activities of the Village included 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. 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.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 5 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. 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 26-64 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 comparison schedule is provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 65-69
of this report. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds, as well as, non-major enterprise funds and fiduciary funds are presented
immediately following the required
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 6 supplementary information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 70-79 of this report. Government-wide Financial

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 2012 fiscal year. Overall there was little change in total net assets for the Village from the prior year. Governmental activities resulted in a 1.4% reduction in
total net assets while the Village’s businesstype activities (mainly the water utility) resulted in a 1.8% increase in total net assets. 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 capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
The Village’s investment in capital assets decreased $115 thousand (less than .5%) due mainly to annual depreciation. The remaining unrestricted net assets of $8.4 million (24.4 %) 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.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 7 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 decreased the Village of Tequesta’s net
assets $491 thousand while business-type activities increased by $616 thousand. Key elements are as follows: Village of Tequesta Changes in Net Assets Governmental Business-type Activities

$73 thousand (1.7%) due to a decrease in property values and the Village Council’s decision to keep the current millage rate unchanged. • Revenues from other taxes decreased slightly
$31 thousand (2.4%).
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 8 • Investment earnings increased by $16 thousand with the majority of this due to the realized gains from the sale of investments in Fund B with
the State Board of Administration (SBA). • Revenue from charges for services increased in governmental activities due to an increase in fire plan review fees, while revenue from charges
for services decreased in the water utility due to lower usage. • Revenue from capital grants and contributions showed a marked decrease ($2.6 million), as the Village recognized a donation
of capital assets (Tequesta Bridge) in the prior year. • Expenses increased 3% ($287 thousand) from the prior period. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the cost of public
safety ($221 thousand). 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 net cost of all governmental activities this year was $7.2 million – an increase of 59%. This difference is due to a donation
of $2.7 (Tequesta Bridge) that was recognized in FY 2011. As shown on the Statement of Activities, the functions directly benefiting from the programs generated revenue of $2.3 million
towards this cost and the remaining $7.2 million was financed through general revenues ($6.7 million) and the use of net assets ($490 thousand). $‐$1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 9 The following is a comparative chart of revenues by source for governmental activities for fiscal year 2012 and 2011. Business-type Activities
The net assets of business-type activities increased $615 thousand (3%) from the prior year. Key elements of this increase are as follows. • Charges for services decreased $88 thousand
(1.7%) due to the Village Council’s decision to use excess funds in the Revenue and Recycling fund to pay a portion of contracted services for residential collection, as well as a reduction
in the sale of water (-3% ). • Net assets in the Refuse and Recycling Fund increased due mainly to operating income exceeding operating expenses by $20 thousand. • The Stormwater Fund
recorded an increase in net assets of $118 thousand, as revenues increased $9 thousand and a portion of drainage improvements ($422 thousand) were scheduled for the following fiscal
year (2013). • Operating income for all business type activities are positive but less than in the prior year. ($1.1 million in 2011: $784 thousand in 2012). • Overall net assets for
the business-type activities have improved and the main changes that we have noted appear mainly to be the result of the cyclical nature of water service. 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 11 Financial Analysis of the Village’s Funds As noted earlier, the Village of Tequesta uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance
with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds: The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on nearterm 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
$4,335,653, a decrease of $386 thousand (8%) from the prior year. Approximately $1.5million (34%) of the total fund balances constitutes Unassigned Fund Balance, which is available for
spending at the government’s discretion. Additionally, the Village has Non-Spendable Fund Balance of $178 thousand (4.1%) representing inventories and prepaid items; Restricted Fund
Balance of $580 thousand (13.4%), Assigned Fund Balance of $2 million (48.2%) which includes $1 million for Disaster Relief and $884 thousand for subsequent year’s expenditures. The
General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village. At September 30, 2012, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $1.4 million while total fund balance was $3.7 million.
As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures and other financing uses. Unassigned
fund balance represents 17% of fiscal year 2012 General Fund expenditures and total fund balance represents 48% of the total expenditures. The ratio of total fund balance to expenditures
has decreased from the prior year when total fund balance represented 53% of total expenditures. This is the fourth year that these ratios have decreased representing a growing gap between
revenues and expenditures as the Village used excess funds to bridge this gap. As with many governments in this sluggish economy, the most significant reason for the decrease in revenues
is the continued reduction in property values and the resulting decrease in ad valorem tax revenue. We have noticed an uptick in housing prices and expect to see an increase in revenues
from ad valorem taxes in the future fiscal years (there is a gap of one to three years between the change in housing prices and the change in ad valorem tax revenues). The Village continues
to feel the effect of a four year recovery from the Great Recession, considered by many economists to be one of the longest. A depleted wealth in the housing market continues to be ballast
on consumer spending (at 70% per data from the University of Central Florida). The effects of this long recovery have impacted spending and this is reflected in the chart on page 12.
Some specific key factors and how they have affected the Village’s revenues are as follows; • Lower property values resulted in reduced proceeds from ad-valorem taxes of $73 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 $85 thousand.
• Charges for services increased $60 thousand (607%) due mainly to an increase in fire plan review fees. • Investment earnings increased $7 thousand as investments with the SBA’s Plan
B matured and were sold at a gain. • Revenue from utility taxes, communication services taxes and other taxes decreased (2.4%) due to a sluggish economic recovery.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 12 The amount of General Fund revenue by type, their percent of the total and the amount of change compared to last fiscal year are shown in the

was in the function of public safety, followed by expenditures in the function of general government which increased $60 thousand. • The change in Capital Outlay is the purchases of
vehicles and Smart Cop software for the police department ($168 thousand). 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000 Revenues by Source ‐General Fund Activities Thousands

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 14 Ending fund balances for the Capital Projects Fund is $213 thousand and the Capital Improvement fund is $396 thousand. Fund balances are assigned
for capital projects/improvements. The Capital Projects Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund 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 $19,603,634 a 3% increase from
the prior year ($615 thousand). Income from operations continues to be positive, however, we have noted a decrease from the prior year due mainly to lower than usual water sales. Other
factors concerning the finances of this major fund have already been addressed in the discussion of the Village’s business-type activities. PROPRIETARY FUNDS Operating Income (Loss)

thousand. The largest increases were: $105 thousand (30%) to fund additional personnel services in the police department and $84 thousand (24%) to fund additional capital assets. Capital
Assets and Debt Administration Capital assets: The Village’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities total $33,839,175 (net accumulated depreciation) as of September
30, 2012. These assets include land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements-other-than-buildings, infrastructure and machinery and equipment.

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 45 -48. 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 as the federal funds
rate is expected to be unchanged until unemployment rate hits 6.5%, 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. • Depleted wealth in housing market is creating a drag on new home construction. • Four year recovery from
the “Great Recession” has created economic uncertainty. • The Village continues to work on the annexation of surrounding properties. • Headline CPI is expected to be around 2%. • Economic
and job growth isn’t expected to gain significant altitude until 2014/2015. • The Village of Tequesta’s water rates increased 1.45% on October 1, 2012. • All of these factors were considered
in preparing the Village of Tequesta’s budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Requests for Information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Village of
Tequesta’s finances for all those with an interest in the government’s finances. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or requests for additional financial

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 26 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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: A. THE FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY 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, 2012. B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 27 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (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 non-major 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. C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 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. 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
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 28 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. MEASUREMENT
FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) 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 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. D. MAJOR FUNDS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 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 non-major funds are presented in one column in the fund financial statements. The Village reports the following major governmental fund: The General Fund is the Village’s primary
operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Village reports the following major
proprietary funds: 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.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 29 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. MAJOR FUNDS
AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) Additionally, the Village reports the following fiduciary funds: The pension 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 privatesector guidance. As a general
rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the governmentwide 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. 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.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 30 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E ASSETS, LIABILITIES
NET ASSETS OR EQUITY 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 an 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 unbilled consumption as of September 30th of each
year.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 31 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E ASSETS, LIABILITIES
NET ASSETS OR EQUITY (CONTINUED) 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 buildings 20 – 50 years Infrastructure 20 – 50 years Machinery and equipment 5 – 15 years Intangibles 5 – 20 years
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 32 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E ASSETS, LIABILITIES
NET ASSETS OR EQUITY (CONTINUED) 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. 7. 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 (both are equal and are considered the highest level of decision making authority) are classified as committed
fund balances. Amounts that are
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 33 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E ASSETS, LIABILITIES
NET ASSETS OR EQUITY (CONTINUED) 7. 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. Similarly,
within unrestricted fund balance, committed, assigned then unassigned amounts, in that order, will be spent when an expenditure is incurred for a purpose for which amounts in any of
those 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.

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.

Assessed values are established by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser at approximately fair market value. The assessed value for operating purposes of property at January 1, 2011,
upon which the 2011-2012 levy was based, was $767,420,895. The Village is permitted by Article 7, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution to levy taxes up to $10 (10 mills) per $1,000
of assessed valuation for general governmental services. The millage rate to finance general governmental services for the year ended September 30, 2012 was 5.7671 mills per $1,000 of
assessed valuation. NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS DEPOSITS 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, 2012, none of the Village’s primary bank balances were exposed
to custodial credit risk. INVESTMENTS -VILLAGE 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 closed-end management type investment company or investment trust registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio is limited to obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and to repurchase agreements fully
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 36 NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) INVESTMENTS -VILLAGE (CONTINUED)
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 (formerly known as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (LGIP) 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. 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 is accounted for as a
fluctuating NAV pool, not a 2a-7-like money market fund. That is, accounting valuations reflect estimates of the market value of securities rather than their amortized cost. Due to the
lack of an actively traded market for Fund B securities, the “market value” is an estimate of current liquidation value that has been determined through a collaborative process among
various pricing experts and sources in the marketplace. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value factor for Fund B was $.94896811 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.

$ 9,281,010 100.00% Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk exists when there is a possibility that changes in interest rates could 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 purchase of securities that have a maturity, at the time
of purchase, of greater than five years. Due to the nature of the securities in Fund B, the interest rate risk information required by GASB 40 is not available. The weighted average
life is estimated at 4.08 years as of September 30, 2012, however, because Fund B consists of restructured or defaulted securities there is considerable uncertainty regarding the weighted
average life. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy limits credit risk by requiring that investments be limited
to investments in specific securities and short-term obligations of U.S. corporations are rated at the time of purchase at one of the three highest classifications as established by
a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Fund B is not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the exposure to interest rate risks. The established performance objectives require investment
maturities to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they become due. The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk. At September 30, 2012, the weighted
average maturity does not exceed 1.53 years. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy limits credit risk by requiring
that investments made or held in the fund shall be limited to: • Obligations issued by the U.S. Government or obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government
or by an agency of the U.S. Government;

PENSION TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Credit Risk (continued) • Bonds, stocks, or commingled funds administered by national or state banks, or other evidences or indebtedness, issued or guaranteed
by a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state or organized territory of the United States, or District of Columbia provided that the securities meet the following
ranking criteria: Fixed Income: Holds a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a major rating service Equities: Traded on a National Exchange Money Market: The
money market fund or STIF provided by the Plan’s custodian. At September 30, 2012, the investments of the General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund were in compliance with the investment
policy. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is defined as the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single issuer. The Plan utilizes limitations
on securities of a single issuer to manage this risk. The Plan’s investment policy limits investments in common stock or capital stock of any one issuing company or aggregate of any
one issuing company to 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the company. The investment policy requires that the value of bonds issued by any single corporation shall not exceed 10%
of the total fund. Investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds shall not exceed 70% of the fund assets at market value. Foreign securities shall not exceed 25% of the
market value of the fund. If the Plan owns investments at the end of a calendar quarter which no longer satisfy the applicable investment standard then such investment is disposed of
at the earliest economically feasible opportunity.

PENSION TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Exposure
to foreign currency risk is low as foreign investments are through ADR’s (shares listed in the US), Mutual funds (registered in the US), or Yankee bonds (traded in US dollars). The investment
policy permits a maximum of 25% of the market value of the fund securities to be invested in foreign securities. At September 30, 2012, 14.2% of the market value of the fund was invested
in foreign securities, which met the limitations of the policy. INVESTMENTS -POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS’ PENSION TRUST FUND At September 30, 2012, the Police and Firefighters’ Pension Trust

PENSION TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment in debt securities.
Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the exposure to interest rate risk. The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk. The established performance
objectives require investment maturities to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they become due. At September 30, 2012, the weighted average maturity in years for each
investment type is included in the preceding table and ranges from 0.59 to 5.67. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment
policy limits credit risk by requiring that: • Fixed income investments must hold a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a major rating service. • Equities must be traded
on a national exchange. • Money market investments must hold a minimum rating of Standard & Poor’s A1 or Moody’s P1. At September 30, 2012, the investments of the Police and Firefighters’
Pension Trust Fund were in compliance with the policies. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is defined as the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment
in a single issuer. The Plan utilizes limitations on securities of a single issuer to manage this risk. The Plan’s investment policy limits investments in common stock, capital stock
or convertible stock of any one issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing company to 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the company. The investment policy requires that the
value of corporate bonds issued by any single corporation cannot represent more than 5% of the total fund. Investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds shall not exceed
70% of the fund assets at market value. Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-government entities are limited to 15% of the fixed income portfolio. Foreign securities shall not exceed
15% of the value at cost of the fund. If the Plan owns investments that complied with the limitations at the time of purchase, which subsequently exceed these limits or do not satisfy
the applicable standards, the non-compliant investment may be held until it is economically feasible to dispose of the investment.

PENSION TRUST FUND (CONTINUED) Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk is identified as the risk that the Plan may not recover cash and investments held by another party in the event
of a financial failure. The Plan requires all securities to be held by a third party custodian in the name of the Plan. Securities transactions between a broker-dealer and the custodian
involving purchase or sale of securities by the transfer of money or securities must be made on a “delivery vs. payment” basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or
money in hand at the conclusion of the transaction. Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as foreign investments are through ADR’s (shares listed in the US), Mutual funds (registered in the US), or Yankee bonds (traded
in US dollars). The investment policy permits a maximum of 15% of the market value of the fund to be invested in foreign securities. At September 30, 2012, approximately 11.5% of the
market value of the fund was invested in foreign securities, which met the limitations of the policy. Risks and Uncertainties – Pension Plans 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 financial statements.

30, 2012 were approximately $180,050 higher than the previous year due to the Village adopting the recommendations of a study performed by Public Resources Management Group, Inc.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 49 NOTE 8 – FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM PLAN DESCRIPTION All full time employees
hired before January 1, 1996 are eligible to participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost sharing, multiple-employer, public retirement system controlled by the State Legislature
and administered by the State of Florida Department of Administration, Division of Retirement. The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments
and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A post-employment health insurance subsidy is also provided to eligible employees. Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida
Statutes and Chapter 22B, Florida Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can only be made by an act of the Florida Legislature. The State of Florida issues a publicly available financial
report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the FRS. The latest available report was for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. That report may
be obtained by writing to the State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of Management Services, P.O. Box 9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000 or visiting the website at http://dms.myflorid
a.com. FUNDING POLICY The FRS funding policy provides for monthly employee and employer contributions. Employer contributions are at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages
of annual covered payroll 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, 2012 were as follows: regular employees – 5.44%, special
risk employees – 14.9% and employees participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) – 1.11%. 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% Health Insurance Subsidy contribution but the 0.03% administrative fee does
not apply to DROP participants. The employee contributions rate is 3.00%, The Village’s contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were $155,540,
$131,421 and $ 67,295 respectively, which were equal to the required contributions for each fiscal year.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 50 NOTE 8 – FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM (CONTINUED) PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Effective July 1, 2011 employees participating in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) except for those who are DROP participants are required to contribute 3% of their compensation to
the plan. Only employer contributions are required on the salaries of the DROP participants. NOTE 9 – PENSION PLANS 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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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.

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:

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

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:

The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information (RSI) following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether
the actuarial values of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the AALs for benefits. NOTE 10 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN DESCRIPTION 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. FUNDING POLICY AND ANNUAL OPEB COST The Village does not directly make a contribution to a health plan on behalf of retirees.
However, retirees and their beneficiaries can purchase from the Village’s healthcare provider the same health plan, at the same group rates as are charged to the Village for active employees.
Under GASB 45, the Village is required to calculate an offset to the cost of these benefits as an Employer Contribution, based upon an implicit rate subsidy prepared by the Village’s
actuary. This offset equals the total age-adjusted costs paid by the Village for 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 (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined
in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the current cost of the benefit. Any unfunded
actuarial liabilities are amortized over a period not to exceed thirty years. October 1, 2012 the Village changed from a traditional health plan to a high deductible health plan (HDHP)
with a $1,500/$3,000 deductible for single coverage and $3,000/$6,000 deductible for family. Subsequently, the two retirees that were currently purchasing health insurance from the Village
elected not to purchase the HDHP and no additional retirees requested to avail themselves of the HDHP. The Village considers this indicative that
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 62 NOTE 10 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED) FUNDING POLICY AND ANNUAL
OPEB COST (CONTINUED) future retirees will choose not to participate in the HDHP. Under that assumption, the annual required contribution (ARC) for fiscal year 2012 is zero reflecting
no current cost of benefits. The Village of Tequesta has less than 100 employees, has experienced low participation in prior periods and has no active participation of retirees currently
in the HDHP. The Village considered amortizing the current unfunded liability in one year, effectively allowing the Village to write the existing liability off in the current year. However,
the Village decided to take a conservative approach by monitoring participation over the next two years before determining whether to permanently write off the liability. Required Contribution

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 63 NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASE AGREEMENTS 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. CONTRACTED SERVICES – REFUSE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION The Village entered into a solid waste and recyclable collection agreement with Waste Management
Inc. of Florida on September 13, 2007 for a period of five years beginning October 01, 2007 and expiring September 30, 2012. With this agreement the Village granted 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 and collection components of the rate allowing for separate calculation of an annual increase. The annual change
in the collection component is determined using the CPI (June to June) while the annual change in the fuel component is determined using the change in the cost of diesel fuel determined
by reference to EIA/DOE website that reports average prices. Effective September 30, 2010 the Village entered into a second amendment to the agreement extending the term of the current
agreement and additional five (5) years from October 1, 2012 and expiring September 30, 2017. CONTRACTED SERVICES – FIRE/EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE Effective October 1, 1993, the Village
entered into an Interlocal agreement with Jupiter Inlet Colony for the Village to provide fire protection/emergency medical services for a fee. For the year ended September 30, 2012,

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 64 NOTE 12 – RISK MANAGEMENT The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related
to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters. While the Village cannot anticipate the areas in which potential
claims may arise, 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 $16,280 in fiscal year 2012 related to policy year 2009/2010 and $5,493 related
to policy year 2010/2011. The Village remains fully insured with the FMIT for workers’ compensation coverage with statutory limits. Premiums are based upon risk class and remuneration
of covered employees adjusted by an experience modification factor which includes three prior years of claims history. At the end of each fiscal year, the plan is audited and the Village
can either receive a return of premium or be required to pay additional premium base upon actual versus estimated payroll. FMIT’s final audit for fiscal year 2011/2012 resulted in the
Village being refunded a total of $23,537, of which $13,280 was workers’ compensation related. This was due to the temporary reduction in staffing in the police department, which also
impacted our general liability which experienced a refund of $9,622. Property and auto accounted for the additional $635. There were no significant changes in insurance coverage from
coverage in prior years. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. NOTE 13 – JOINT VENTURE The Village, in conjunction with six
other municipalities, organized a consortium to provide mutual fire and emergency aid. The consortium is known as the Northern Area Mutual Aid Consortium (NAMAC). During 1999, the consortium
purchased equipment and supplies as well as collected contributions. The consortium does not issue separate financial statements. The Village has not been obligated to contribute any
funds to the consortium since its inception in 1999.

66 VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA NOTE TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 NOTE 1 – BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING 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: 1) Prior to September 1st, the Village
Manager submits to the Village Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1st. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them. 2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3) Prior to October 1st, 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 $354,413 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.

POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS October 1, 2012, the Village changed from a traditional health plan to a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a $1,500/$3,000 deductible for single coverage
and $3,000/$6,000 deductible for family. Subsequently, the two retirees that were currently purchasing health insurance from the Village elected not to purchase the HDHP and no additional
retirees requested to avail themselves of the HDHP. The Village considers this indicative that future retirees will choose not to participate in the HDHP. Under that assumption, the
annual required contribution (ARC) for fiscal year 2012 is zero reflecting no current cost of benefits. The Village of Tequesta has less than 100 employees, has experienced low participation
in prior periods and has no active participation of retirees currently in the HDHP. The Village considered amortizing the current unfunded liability in one year, effectively allowing
the Village to write the existing liability off in the current year. However, the Village decided to take a conservative approach by monitoring participation over the next two years
before determining whether to permanently write off the liability. 69

4,501,608 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. VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA DIRECT AND OVERLAPPING GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES DEBT SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 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) (a) Sources: Palm Beach County

CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT 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, 2012, which collectively comprise the Village’s
basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2013. 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. A deficiency in internal control exists when the
design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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.
100 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. West Palm Beach,

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, 2012, and have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2013. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United

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 provisions of contracts or grant agreements, or abuse, 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.
102 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.

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, 2012, 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, 2012. 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

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 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. 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, 2012 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 (MDA).
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.
ii
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.
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, 2012 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 2012 the gross taxable value of real, personal and centrally assessed property
was $765 million. The majority of the Village is made up of residential properties.
Commercial properties represent approximately 10% of property values. The Village has
no discernible 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 a plan that outlines
the priorities and financial resources to maintain and enhance the highest possible level of
public service and quality of life for the Village of Tequesta residents. It is the Village’s
business plan for the fiscal year - a plan that challenges us to find the point of balance
between revenues & expenditures and expectations & outcomes – a plan that challenges us
to identify and provide the services for which our residents are willing and able to pay.
The budget planning process begins with departments meeting with finance to review their
current budget and determine future needs. Departments submit their budgets to the Village
Manager, who reviews, approves and submits the proposed budget(s) to the Village
Council. The Village Council holds workshops and two public hearings to obtain citizen
iii
input before approving the budget. Prior to October 1st, the Village Council adopts the
approved budget along with a resolution establishing the property tax rate (millage) required
to fund the budget
The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level; however, the Village manages at
the department level. During the year, the Village Manager and the Budget Officer may
approve requests for interdepartmental transfers that do not result in an increase to a
department’s overall budget. Supplemental appropriations require the special approval of
the Village Council. All annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
The 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.
The approved budget is entered into the Village’s General Ledger software and budget-to-
actual reports are sent to the Village Manager daily. Additionally, monthly budget-to-actual
reports are sent to the Village Council as part of the Manager’s monthly reports. 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 2012 decreased approximately 2%, which is the
fourth year the Village has experienced a reduction in property values.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the economic “Great” recession
officially ended June 2009. Its’ effects, however, are still being felt by state and local
governments. According to Tracy Gordon of the Brookings Institution, “…Although state
taxes have been rebounding, local property taxes have dipped, consistent with a two to three
year lag between home prices and property tax rolls…These are critical issues because
states and localities perform most of the activities we commonly associate with
government…” Some good news from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is that
the budget gaps that states and localities have had to close are shrinking. However,
spending cuts resulting from actions taken to close the spending gaps are being blamed for
delaying the economic recovery. Consequently, some data is suggesting that even though
iv
the revenue outlook is trending upward and budget shortfalls are shrinking, revenues may
not get back to normal until 2019 for many states.
There is some better news from the fourth quarter 2012 U.S. Forecast; real consumer
spending is expected to grow an average of 2.5% during 2013-2016, housing market
recovery is in the making and new housing starts is expected to double by 2016, payroll
employment is expected to reach prerecession levels in the third quarter of 2014 and
unemployment rates are expected to gradually fall to 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2016.
OUR FUTURE
The Village of Tequesta has always spent conservatively while providing the highest quality
services to its residents. We continue to cautiously watch the “gap” between revenues and
expenditures to protect the investments our residents have made in their community. It has
not been easy to maintain a consistent and high level of quality services to the residents in
these times. It is the result of 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 allowed the Village to meet service
demands while minimizing the financial burden on its residents. The Village is very
fortunate to have a citizenry that is active on many boards and committees, a working staff
that has shown its willingness to take on additional responsibilities, an expanded, sometimes
exhausting, workload and very importantly, a Village Council that is very responsive to the
needs of the residents and staff and who donate so much of their time to this special
community. If the future of a community is dependent on its people, then the future of
Tequesta is bright and we will successfully meet the challenges that come before us.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The Village of Tequesta’s primary focus is to identify additional revenue sources and cost
savings. The Village is focusing on annexation to generate new revenue and is funding a
branding initiative to make future residents aware of the benefits of joining the Village.
Additionally the Village is looking to expand the services it provides for other governments.
The Village has been researching ways to control the growing cost of health care and post
retirement benefits and has implemented changes and negotiated concessions with the
current bargaining units. Tequesta continues to discuss options with the three collective
bargaining units to control the cost of post retirement benefits.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
• 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.
v
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, 2011. This was the twenty-
eighth 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.

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, 2012,
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,
2012, 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.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March
28, 2013 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.
2
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 67 to 69, 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 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 City’s financial statements as a whole. The combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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, the combining and
individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and
statistical sections are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD&A)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
3
As management of the Village of Tequesta, 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, 2012 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 2012 by $34
million (net assets). Of this amount, $8.4 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
ongoing obligations to the citizens and creditors.
• There was no significant change in the Village’s total net assets of $34 million during the 2012 fiscal
year.
• In FY 2011 the Village recognized a donation from the Florida Department of Transportation (the
FDOT built and donated Tequesta Bridge) resulting in a large increase in revenues for that year. The
Village did not have any large grants or donations in FY 2012 which resulted in the Village showing
a significant decrease in revenues for FY 2012.
• Government-wide expenses increased 3.7% ($512 thousand) with the largest increases in Public
Safety ($221 thousand) and Water Utility ($188 thousand).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balances for all governmental funds was $4.3 million, a
decrease of $386 thousand (8.3%) from the prior year. Of this balance, $37 thousand in inventory
and $142 thousand in prepaid items were nonspendable; $306 thousand for debt service and $243
thousand of building permit fees were restricted; $884 of the subsequent year’s budget and $1
million for Hurricane/disaster were assigned and $1.5 million was unassigned and available for new
spending.
• The Village’s total non-current liabilities decreased by $591 thousand (5.9%) during the current
fiscal year. Please see details in the Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Note 7 on page 48.
• The Village did not expend $500,000 or more in Federal and/or State financial assistance in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 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 required and other
supplementary information.
Government-wide financial statements: The government-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
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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.
The Statement 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 included general government, public safety,
transportation and leisure services. The business-type activities of the Village included 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.
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.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
5
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.
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 26-64 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
comparison schedule is provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance. Required
supplementary information can be found on pages 65-69 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds, as well

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 2012 fiscal year. Overall there was little change in total net assets for the Village from the prior
year. Governmental activities resulted in a 1.4% reduction in total net assets while the Village’s business-
type activities (mainly the water utility) resulted in a 1.8% increase in total net assets.
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 capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The Village’s investment in
capital assets decreased $115 thousand (less than .5%) due mainly to annual depreciation.
The remaining unrestricted net assets of $8.4 million (24.4 %) 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.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
7
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 decreased the Village of Tequesta’s net assets $491
thousand while business-type activities increased by $616 thousand. Key elements are as follows:

Governmental activities continued:
• Property taxes decreased $73 thousand (1.7%) due to a decrease in property values and the Village
Council’s decision to keep the current millage rate unchanged.
• Revenues from other taxes decreased slightly $31 thousand (2.4%).
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
8
• Investment earnings increased by $16 thousand with the majority of this due to the realized gains
from the sale of investments in Fund B with the State Board of Administration (SBA).
• Revenue from charges for services increased in governmental activities due to an increase in fire plan
review fees, while revenue from charges for services decreased in the water utility due to lower
usage.
• Revenue from capital grants and contributions showed a marked decrease ($2.6 million), as the
Village recognized a donation of capital assets (Tequesta Bridge) in the prior year.
• Expenses increased 3% ($287 thousand) from the prior period. This increase is due primarily to an
increase in the cost of public safety ($221 thousand).
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 net cost of all governmental activities this year was $7.2 million – an increase of
59%. This difference is due to a donation of $2.7 (Tequesta Bridge) that was recognized in FY 2011. As
shown on the Statement of Activities, the functions directly benefiting from the programs generated
revenue of $2.3 million towards this cost and the remaining $7.2 million was financed through general
revenues ($6.7 million) and the use of net assets ($490 thousand).

The following is a comparative chart of revenues by source for governmental activities for fiscal year
2012 and 2011.
Business-type Activities
The net assets of business-type activities increased $615 thousand (3%) from the prior year. Key
elements of this increase are as follows.
• Charges for services decreased $88 thousand (1.7%) due to the Village Council’s decision to
use excess funds in the Revenue and Recycling fund to pay a portion of contracted services
for residential collection, as well as a reduction in the sale of water (- 3% ).
•
Net assets in the Refuse and Recycling Fund increased due mainly to operating income
exceeding operating expenses by $20 thousand.
•
The Stormwater Fund recorded an increase in net assets of $118 thousand, as revenues
increased $9 thousand and a portion of drainage improvements ($422 thousand) were
scheduled for the following fiscal year (2013).
•
Operating income for all business type activities are positive but less than in the prior year.
($1.1 million in 2011: $784 thousand in 2012).
• Overall net assets for the business-type activities have improved and the main changes that we have
noted appear mainly to be the result of the cyclical nature of water service.

Financial Analysis of the Village’s Funds
As noted earlier, the Village of Tequesta uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds: The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
Village’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure
of 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 $4,335,653, a decrease of $386 thousand (8%) from the prior year.
Approximately $1.5million (34%) of the total fund balances constitutes Unassigned Fund Balance, which
is available for spending at the government’s discretion. Additionally, the Village has Non-Spendable
Fund Balance of $178 thousand (4.1%) representing inventories and prepaid items; Restricted Fund
Balance of $580 thousand (13.4%), Assigned Fund Balance of $2 million (48.2%) which includes $1
million for Disaster Relief and $884 thousand for subsequent year’s expenditures.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village. At September 30, 2012, unassigned fund
balance of the General Fund was $1.4 million while total fund balance was $3.7 million. As a measure of
the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund
balance to total fund expenditures and other financing uses. Unassigned fund balance represents 17% of
fiscal year 2012 General Fund expenditures and total fund balance represents 48% of the total
expenditures. The ratio of total fund balance to expenditures has decreased from the prior year when total
fund balance represented 53% of total expenditures. This is the fourth year that these ratios have
decreased representing a growing gap between revenues and expenditures as the Village used excess
funds to bridge this gap.
As with many governments in this sluggish economy, the most significant reason for the decrease in
revenues is the continued reduction in property values and the resulting decrease in ad valorem tax
revenue. We have noticed an uptick in housing prices and expect to see an increase in revenues from ad
valorem taxes in the future fiscal years (there is a gap of one to three years between the change in housing
prices and the change in ad valorem tax revenues). The Village continues to feel the effect of a four year
recovery from the Great Recession, considered by many economists to be one of the longest. A depleted
wealth in the housing market continues to be ballast on consumer spending (at 70% per data from the
University of Central Florida). The effects of this long recovery have impacted spending and this is
reflected in the chart on page 12. Some specific key factors and how they have affected the Village’s
revenues are as follows;
• Lower property values resulted in reduced proceeds from ad-valorem taxes of $73 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 $85 thousand.
• Charges for services increased $60 thousand (607%) due mainly to an increase in fire plan review
fees.
• Investment earnings increased $7 thousand as investments with the SBA’s Plan B matured and were
sold at a gain.
• Revenue from utility taxes, communication services taxes and other taxes decreased (2.4%) due to a
sluggish economic recovery.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Ending fund balances for the Capital Projects Fund is $213 thousand and the Capital Improvement fund is
$396 thousand. Fund balances are assigned for capital projects/improvements. The Capital Projects Fund
and the Capital Improvement Fund 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
$19,603,634 a 3% increase from the prior year ($615 thousand). Income from operations continues to be
positive, however, we have noted a decrease from the prior year due mainly to lower than usual water
sales. Other factors concerning the finances of this major fund have already been addressed in the
discussion of the Village’s business-type activities.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The difference between the original and final amended General fund budget for 2012 was an increase of
$354 thousand. The largest increases were: $105 thousand (30%) to fund additional personnel services
in the police department and $84 thousand (24%) to fund additional capital assets.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital assets: The Village’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities total
$33,839,175 (net accumulated depreciation) as of September 30, 2012. These assets include land,
construction in progress, buildings, improvements-other-than-buildings, infrastructure and machinery and
equipment.

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 45 -48.
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 as the federal funds rate is expected to be unchanged until unemployment
rate hits 6.5%, 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.
• Depleted wealth in housing market is creating a drag on new home construction.
• Four year recovery from the “Great Recession” has created economic uncertainty.
• The Village continues to work on the annexation of surrounding properties.
• Headline CPI is expected to be around 2%.
• Economic and job growth isn’t expected to gain significant altitude until 2014/2015.
• The Village of Tequesta’s water rates increased 1.45% on October 1, 2012.
• All of these factors were considered in preparing the Village of Tequesta’s budget for the 2012-2013
fiscal year.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
(Page 19) are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds(386,040)$
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 difference are as follows:
Capital outlay335,689
Depreciation expense(756,704)
Net Adjustment(421,015)
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.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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:
A. THE FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
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, 2012.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (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 non-major 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.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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.
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
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.
D. MAJOR FUNDS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 non-major funds are presented in one column in the fund financial
statements.
The Village reports the following major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Village’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
The Village reports the following major proprietary funds:
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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. MAJOR FUNDS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Additionally, the Village reports the following fiduciary funds:
The pension 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.
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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
E ASSETS, LIABILITIES NET ASSETS OR EQUITY
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 an 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
unbilled consumption as of September 30th 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 5–15 years
Intangibles 5 –20 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.
7. 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 (both are equal and are considered the highest level of decision
making authority) are classified as committed fund balances. Amounts that are

7. 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. Similarly, within
unrestricted fund balance, committed, assigned then unassigned amounts, in that order,
will be spent when an expenditure is incurred for a purpose for which amounts in any of
those 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.

Property tax collections are governed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. The Palm Beach
County Tax Collector (Tax Collector) bills and collects all property taxes levied within
the 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.

Assessed values are established by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser at
approximately fair market value. The assessed value for operating purposes of property at
January 1, 2011, upon which the 2011-2012 levy was based, was $767,420,895.
The Village is permitted by Article 7, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution to levy taxes up
to $10 (10 mills) per $1,000 of assessed valuation for general governmental services. The
millage rate to finance general governmental services for the year ended September 30,
2012 was 5.7671 mills per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
DEPOSITS
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, 2012, none of the Village’s
primary bank balances were exposed to custodial credit risk.
INVESTMENTS - VILLAGE
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
closed-end management type investment company or investment trust registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio is limited to obligations of
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 (formerly known
as the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (LGIP) 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. 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 is accounted for as a fluctuating NAV pool, not a 2a-7-like money market fund.
That is, accounting valuations reflect estimates of the market value of securities rather than
their amortized cost. Due to the lack of an actively traded market for Fund B securities, the
“market value” is an estimate of current liquidation value that has been determined through
a collaborative process among various pricing experts and sources in the marketplace. As of
September 30, 2012, the fair value factor for Fund B was $.94896811 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.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk exists when there is a possibility that changes in interest rates could
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
purchase of securities that have a maturity, at the time of purchase, of greater than five
years. Due to the nature of the securities in Fund B, the interest rate risk information
required by GASB 40 is not available. The weighted average life is estimated at 4.08 years
as of September 30, 2012, however, because Fund B consists of restructured or defaulted
securities there is considerable uncertainty regarding the weighted average life.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy
limits credit risk by requiring that investments be limited to investments in specific
securities and short-term obligations of U.S. corporations are rated at the time of purchase
at one of the three highest classifications as established by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization. Fund B is not rated by any nationally recognized statistical
rating agency.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater
the exposure to interest rate risks. The established performance objectives require
investment maturities to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk. At September 30,
2012, the weighted average maturity does not exceed 1.53 years.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy
limits credit risk by requiring that investments made or held in the fund shall be limited to:
• Obligations issued by the U.S. Government or obligations guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the U.S. government or by an agency of the U.S. Government;

Credit Risk (continued)
• Bonds, stocks, or commingled funds administered by national or state banks, or
other evidences or indebtedness, issued or guaranteed by a corporation organized
under the laws of the United States, any state or organized territory of the United
States, or District of Columbia provided that the securities meet the following
ranking criteria:
Fixed Income: Holds a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a
major rating service
Equities: Traded on a National Exchange
Money Market: The money market fund or STIF provided by the Plan’s
custodian.
At September 30, 2012, the investments of the General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund
were in compliance with the investment policy.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is defined as the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an
investment in a single issuer. The Plan utilizes limitations on securities of a single issuer to
manage this risk. The Plan’s investment policy limits investments in common stock or
capital stock of any one issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing company to 5% of
the outstanding capital stock of the company. The investment policy requires that the value
of bonds issued by any single corporation shall not exceed 10% of the total fund.
Investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds shall not exceed 70% of the
fund assets at market value. Foreign securities shall not exceed 25% of the market value of
the fund. If the Plan owns investments at the end of a calendar quarter which no longer
satisfy the applicable investment standard then such investment is disposed of at the earliest
economically feasible opportunity.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as foreign investments are
through ADR’s (shares listed in the US), Mutual funds (registered in the US), or Yankee
bonds (traded in US dollars). The investment policy permits a maximum of 25% of the

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater
the exposure to interest rate risk. The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest
rate risk. The established performance objectives require investment maturities to provide
sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they become due. At September 30, 2012, the
weighted average maturity in years for each investment type is included in the preceding
table and ranges from 0.59 to 5.67.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy
limits credit risk by requiring that:
• Fixed income investments must hold a rating in one of the four highest classifications
by a major rating service.
• Equities must be traded on a national exchange.
• Money market investments must hold a minimum rating of Standard & Poor’s A1 or
Moody’s P1.
At September 30, 2012, the investments of the Police and Firefighters’ Pension Trust Fund
were in compliance with the policies.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is defined as the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an
investment in a single issuer. The Plan utilizes limitations on securities of a single issuer to
manage this risk. The Plan’s investment policy limits investments in common stock, capital
stock or convertible stock of any one issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing
company to 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the company. The investment policy
requires that the value of corporate bonds issued by any single corporation cannot represent
more than 5% of the total fund. Investments in corporate common stock and convertible
bonds shall not exceed 70% of the fund assets at market value. Mortgage-backed securities
issued by non-government entities are limited to 15% of the fixed income portfolio.
Foreign securities shall not exceed 15% of the value at cost of the fund. If the Plan owns
investments that complied with the limitations at the time of purchase, which subsequently
exceed these limits or do not satisfy the applicable standards, the non-compliant investment
may be held until it is economically feasible to dispose of the investment.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is identified as the risk that the Plan may not recover cash and
investments held by another party in the event of a financial failure. The Plan requires all
securities to be held by a third party custodian in the name of the Plan. Securities
transactions between a broker-dealer and the custodian involving purchase or sale of
securities by the transfer of money or securities must be made on a “delivery vs. payment”
basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money in hand at the conclusion
of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as foreign investments are
through ADR’s (shares listed in the US), Mutual funds (registered in the US), or Yankee
bonds (traded in US dollars). The investment policy permits a maximum of 15% of the
market value of the fund to be invested in foreign securities. At September 30, 2012,
approximately 11.5% of the market value of the fund was invested in foreign securities,
which met the limitations of the policy.
Risks and Uncertainties – Pension Plans
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
financial statements.

NOTE 8 – FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM
PLAN DESCRIPTION
All full time employees hired before January 1, 1996 are eligible to participate in the
Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost sharing, multiple-employer, public retirement
system controlled by the State Legislature and administered by the State of Florida
Department of Administration, Division of Retirement. The FRS provides retirement and
disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members
and beneficiaries. A post-employment health insurance subsidy is also provided to eligible
employees.
Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and Chapter 22B, Florida
Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can only be made by an act of the Florida
Legislature.
The State of Florida issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information for the FRS. The latest available report
was for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. That report may be obtained by writing to the
State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of Management Services, P.O. Box
9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000 or visiting the website at http://dms.myflorida.com.
FUNDING POLICY
The FRS funding policy provides for monthly employee and employer contributions.
Employer contributions are at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages of
annual covered payroll 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,
2012 were as follows: regular employees – 5.44%, special risk employees – 14.9% and
employees participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) – 1.11%. 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% Health Insurance Subsidy contribution but the 0.03% administrative fee does not
apply to DROP participants. The employee contributions rate is 3.00%,
The Village’s contributions to the FRS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011
and 2012 were $155,540, $131,421 and $ 67,295 respectively, which were equal to the
required contributions for each fiscal year.

NOTE 8 – FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Effective July 1, 2011 employees participating in the Florida Retirement System (FRS)
except for those who are DROP participants are required to contribute 3% of their
compensation to the plan. Only employer contributions are required on the salaries of the
DROP participants.
NOTE 9 – PENSION PLANS
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.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.

A. PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS’ TRUST FUND
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:

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

NOTE 10 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
PLAN DESCRIPTION
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.
FUNDING POLICY AND ANNUAL OPEB COST
The Village does not directly make a contribution to a health plan on behalf of retirees.
However, retirees and their beneficiaries can purchase from the Village’s healthcare
provider the same health plan, at the same group rates as are charged to the Village for
active employees. Under GASB 45, the Village is required to calculate an offset to the cost
of these benefits as an Employer Contribution, based upon an implicit rate subsidy prepared
by the Village’s actuary. This offset equals the total age-adjusted costs paid by the Village
for 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 (ARC) of the employer, an
amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC
represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the
current cost of the benefit. Any unfunded actuarial liabilities are amortized over a period
not to exceed thirty years.
October 1, 2012 the Village changed from a traditional health plan to a high deductible
health plan (HDHP) with a $1,500/$3,000 deductible for single coverage and $3,000/$6,000
deductible for family. Subsequently, the two retirees that were currently purchasing health
insurance from the Village elected not to purchase the HDHP and no additional retirees
requested to avail themselves of the HDHP. The Village considers this indicative that

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

NOTE 10 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
FUNDING POLICY AND ANNUAL OPEB COST (CONTINUED)
future retirees will choose not to participate in the HDHP. Under that assumption, the
annual required contribution (ARC) for fiscal year 2012 is zero reflecting no current cost of
benefits. The Village of Tequesta has less than 100 employees, has experienced low
participation in prior periods and has no active participation of retirees currently in the
HDHP. The Village considered amortizing the current unfunded liability in one year,
effectively allowing the Village to write the existing liability off in the current year.
However, the Village decided to take a conservative approach by monitoring participation
over the next two years before determining whether to permanently write off the liability.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEASE AGREEMENTS
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.
CONTRACTED SERVICES – REFUSE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION
The Village entered into a solid waste and recyclable collection agreement with Waste
Management Inc. of Florida on September 13, 2007 for a period of five years beginning
October 01, 2007 and expiring September 30, 2012. With this agreement the Village
granted 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
and collection components of the rate allowing for separate calculation of an annual
increase. The annual change in the collection component is determined using the CPI (June
to June) while the annual change in the fuel component is determined using the change in
the cost of diesel fuel determined by reference to EIA/DOE website that reports average
prices. Effective September 30, 2010 the Village entered into a second amendment to the
agreement extending the term of the current agreement and additional five (5) years from
October 1, 2012 and expiring September 30, 2017.
CONTRACTED SERVICES – FIRE/EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE
Effective October 1, 1993, the Village entered into an Interlocal agreement with Jupiter
Inlet Colony for the Village to provide fire protection/emergency medical services for a fee.
For the year ended September 30, 2012, fire protection fees received from Jupiter Inlet
Colony were $218,217.

NOTE 12 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and
destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters.
While the Village cannot anticipate the areas in which potential claims may arise, 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 $16,280 in fiscal year 2012 related to policy year
2009/2010 and $5,493 related to policy year 2010/2011.
The Village remains fully insured with the FMIT for workers’ compensation coverage with
statutory limits. Premiums are based upon risk class and remuneration of covered
employees adjusted by an experience modification factor which includes three prior years
of claims history. At the end of each fiscal year, the plan is audited and the Village can
either receive a return of premium or be required to pay additional premium base upon
actual versus estimated payroll. FMIT’s final audit for fiscal year 2011/2012 resulted in the
Village being refunded a total of $23,537, of which $13,280 was workers’ compensation
related. This was due to the temporary reduction in staffing in the police department, which
also impacted our general liability which experienced a refund of $9,622. Property and
auto accounted for the additional $635.
There were no significant changes in insurance coverage from coverage in prior years.
Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal
years.
NOTE 13 – JOINT VENTURE
The Village, in conjunction with six other municipalities, organized a consortium to provide
mutual fire and emergency aid. The consortium is known as the Northern Area Mutual Aid
Consortium (NAMAC). During 1999, the consortium purchased equipment and supplies as
well as collected contributions. The consortium does not issue separate financial
statements. The Village has not been obligated to contribute any funds to the consortium
since its inception in 1999.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTE TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 1 – BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
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:
1) Prior to September 1st, the Village Manager submits to the Village Council a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1st.
The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them.
2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3) Prior to October 1st, 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 $354,413 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
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, 2012, which
collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon
dated March 28, 2013. 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.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or 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.
100
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, 2012, and
have issued our report thereon dated March 28, 2013.
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 28, 2013, 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
provisions of contracts or grant agreements, or abuse, 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.
102
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, 2012,
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, 2012. 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.
