Subject: Water System Financial Forecast and Revenue Suf�ciency Analysis
Dear Mr. Couzzo:
Public Resources Management Group, Inc. (PRMG) has completed our review of the sufficiency
of the water monthly user rates for the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Village"), and has
summarized the results in this letter report for your consideration. This report summarizes the
development of proposed rate adjustments for water service that are considered necessary to
meet the projected revenue requirements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.
The most important objective of this study was to develop proposed and projected utility rates
that meet the anticipated water utility expenditure and funding requirements in order to maintain
sound financial operations and finance the anticipated capital needs of the water system. Such
capital needs include significant system rehabilitation and replacements. Other goals and
objectives considered in the study included:
• The proposed rates should maintain an acceptable financial position consistent with
performance criteria used by credit rating agencies and the utility industry. This guideline
entails the following:
— Compliance with the rate covenant in the Village's existing loan agreements with Bank
of America, N.A. (i.e., the 2004 and 2008 Promissory Notes).
— Maintenance of adequate operating reserves.
— Maintenance of ongoing capital reinvestment margins to balance equity and debt
financing of capital improvements.
• The proposed rates should be based on full cost recovery principles.
• To the extent practical, any rate adjustments should be phased-in to limit customer "rate
shock."

• The proposed rates should be consistent with historical rate structures and pricing signals to
limit any material rate impacts to the existing water system customers.
� The proposed rates, to the extent practical, should be comparable with those of neighboring
utility systems that have similar characteristics as the Village's water system.
Following this letter, we have provided an executive summary that provides an overview of the
study results and outlines our recommendations and conclusions.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the Village and would like to thank the
Village's staff for their assistance and cooperation during the course of this study.
Respectfully submitted,
Public Resources Management Group, Inc.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
WATER SYSTEM REVENUE SUFFICIENCY STUDY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Village of Tequesta (the "Village") water system currently provides potable water service to
the residents of the Village as well as certain unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County and
Martin County. The Village's water system is established as a utility enterprise fund. According
to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, "Enterprise Funds should be used to account
for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises —
where the intent of the governing body is that costs of providing services to the general public on
a continuing basis should be financed or recovered primarily through user charges."
The goal of this study is to assist the Village in establishing water rates on a prospective basis
sufficient to recover the cost of operating, maintaining, repairing, and financing the water
system.
The Village reyuested that Public Resources Management Group, Inc. (PRMG) prepare an
update to the water rate study completed in 2008. This update was to include a five-year
projection of the System revenue requirements (i.e., the projected expenditures and funding
needs of the System) and the determination of the ability of the rate revenues to fund such needs
(referred to as the "revenue sufficiency"). Specifically, PRMG was tasked to: i) provide a
projection of revenue requirements for the System for the five-year period ending September 30,
2020; ii) provide a forecast of future rate adjustments necessary to fund the projected revenue
requirements; and iii) design a schedule of proposed water rates to meet the projected revenue
requirements through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. Based on discussion with Village staff, this
letter addresses only the recommended rate adjustments for Fiscal Year 2016, as the future rate
adjustments for Fiscal Years 2017 through 2020 are still being quantified.
In our review of the existing water rates, we have relied upon certain information and data
collected from the Village including Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports and other
financial information prepared by the Village; the Adopted Fiscal Years 2015 and 2016 Budgets;
customer statistics; records of operation; and other information and data provided by the Village.
To the extent we have performed our analyses using the data and information obtained from the
Village and others in the preparation of this report, we have relied upon such information to be
accurate and no assurances are intended and no representation or warranties are made with
respect thereto or the use made herein.
Based on the assumptions identified in this report and as provided by Village management,
PRMG made the following observations on behalf of the System:
1. The Village's Water System is approaching build-out with customer growth anticipated to
be less than 0.5 percent annually. Cost of operations, which continue to escalate due to
inflation, labor costs, insurance, fuel costs, miscellaneous repairs and maintenance, and
alternative water issues are anticipated to increase approximately 3.2 percent over the
Forecast Period resulting in declining revenue margins for the System.
K:\1056-08�Rpts�2015 RevSuffLetter F"Y 2016 1
2. The Village has identified significant improvements to the Village's water filtration plant,
various water distribution line replacement projects, well field rehabilitation projects, and
other improvements over the next six (6) fiscal years; the capital improvement program
identified for the Village during this time frame was estimated to approximate $7,190,862.
For the purposes of the financial forecast it has been assumed that the Village will need to
gradually phase in an increasing level of deposits to the Renewal and Replacement Fund in
order to provide funds for pay-as-you-go capital financing from rate revenues for the
replacement of assets as they age and begin to reach their average service life or become
obsolete. It has assumed for the purposes of the financial forecast that the Village would
increase the annual transfer to the Renewal and Replacement Fund from 5.0% to 10.0% of
the prior year's rate revenues for Fiscal Year 2016. This is a practice used by many
utilities and favored by credit rating agencies.
3. Based on discussion with Village staff, this letter addresses only the recommended rate
adjustments for Fiscal Year 2016, as the future rate adjustments for Fiscal Years 2417
through 2020 are still being quantified.
4. The Village's existing rates for water service are not anticipated to fully fund the projected
revenue requirements for Fiscal Year 2016. The projected operating results were
developed and are shown on Table 1, at the end of this Report and summarized the
recommend rate adjustment for Fiscal Year 2016 is summarized below:
Estimated System Average Rate Percentage Adjustment
Price Indexing Additional
Rate Rate Combined
Fiscal Year Adjustment Adjustment Increase
2016 0.00°/a 7.00% 7.00%
[1] The actual price index adjustment far Fiscal Year 2016 was calculated as negative 0.40% based on the
change in the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Southeaster Regional
Office as of May 2015, but has been assumed to be zero (0) percent for the purposes of the forecast
given the need the recommended overa117.0% system-wide increase in revenues for Fiscal Year 20] 6.
5. The proposed water rates for Fiscal Year 2016, as shown on E�ibit A at the end of this
report, should be made effective no later than December 1, 2015.
6. If adopted, the proposed rates for Fiscal Year 2016 as reflected in the study should be
adequate to meet the rate covenant requirements (e.g., debt service coverage) of the
Village's Loan Agreements that authorized the issuance of the Village's outstanding utility
revenue notes.
7. The proposed rates produce monthly water bills that are comparable with those of
neighboring utilities.
The proposed rates and charges are based on the recovery of the total costs anticipated for the
Village and cost of service principles applied to such costs. As such, the proposed rates are
considered by PRMG to be reasonable and reflect the cost of service for each utility system.
