To the Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta
345 Tequesta Drive
Tequesta, Florida 33469
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Village of Tequesta
(the Village) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Professional standards require that we
provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing
standards and Government Auditing Standards as well as certain information related to the
planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to
you dated February l, 2016. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the
following information related to our audit.
Si�nificant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by the Village are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements. The only new accounting policies adopted this year were GASB Statement No. 68
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and
GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the
Measurement Date — an amendment of GASB No. 68 which did impact the reporting for the
current year and required disclosures in the notes to the financial statements regarding the
Florida Retirement System (FRS), Public Safety Officers' Retirement System and the General
Employees' Pension Trust Fund. The application of other existing policies was not changed
during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year
for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have
been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
The application of other existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted no

financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events

affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
affecting the financial statements were management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible
receivables which is based on historical trend information. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
The disclosure of the prior period adjustment related to the Village's net pension
liability or asset regarding the defined benefit pension plans in Note 3P to the
financial statements. The adoption of GASB Statement No. 68 Accounting and
Financial ReportinQ_for Pensions, an amendment to GASB Statement No. 27 now
requires the inclusion of a net pension liability (or asset) based on specific
requirements that are separate from the funding requirements previously used to
record the liability ( or asset). The Village has selected a measurement date of
September 30, 2014 for the single employer pension plans and a measurement
date of June 30, 2015 for Florida Retirement System (FRS) as the measurement
date must be selected based on the plan year end, not to exceed one year.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We
noted no such misstatements to be communicated.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting,
or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the
financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements
arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated June 30, 2016.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a"second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial
statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those
statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to
determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such
consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's
auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional
relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements
(combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules), we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to
determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and
the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements.
We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
With respect to the required supplementary information accompanying the financial statements
(management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and schedules of
funding progress, changes in the Village's net pension liability and related ratios, Village's
proportionate share of the net pension liability for FRS, Village contributions and investment
returns) we have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inyuiries, 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.
In addition, with respect to the information included in the introductory and statistical sections
accompanying the financial statements, we read this information and noted no material
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and do not issue an opinion on this
information.

To the Honorable Mayor,
Members of the Village Council
And Citizens of the Village of Tequesta, Florida
Florida law requires that every general purpose local government publish, within nine months of the close
of each fiscal year, a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that
requirement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained
in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this
purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
Marcum LLP, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the Village
of Tequesta's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The independent auditors'
report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors' report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
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. It is approximately 2 square miles and is located in northern Palm Beach County,
Florida. It is almost completely built-ouddeveloped.
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 It is
empowered by state stature to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it has done from time to
time.
The Village has a Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority aze
vested in an elected governing body of the Village consisting of a five-member Village Council. Council
members are elected at large and select a Mayor at their first organizational meeting each year. Council
members serve two-year terms, with three members elected every other year. The Village Council appoints
the Village of Tequesta's manager, who is responsible for hiring all Village employees.
i
The Village of Tequesta provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; building
inspections; licenses and permits; the construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure,
recreational and cultural activities, water services, stormwater operations and contracts for residential refuse
and recycling services.
The Council is required to adopt an initial budget prior to beginning of the fiscal year on October 1. This
annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village of Tequesta's financial planning and control. The
budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., police) and is adopted by
fund total. Departments may transfer resources within a deparhnent with the approval of the budget officer
and the Village Manager. Transfers between departments require the budget amendments be approved by
the Village Council, while changes to the total fund budget requires approval of the Village Council by
resolution.
Local Economy
The Village of Tequesta, located in Palm Beach County, Florida, is home to middle to upper-income
suburban families. Tequesta has a small commercial area and no major industries located within its
boundaries. The Village of Tequesta is home to a number of assisted living facilities, private schools and a
high-end treatment center.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, over the past year, 37 states,
including Florida had unemployment rate decreased from a year earlier. The largest significant over-the-
yeaz job increase occurred in California (444,300) followed by Florida (235,700) and Texas (224,800). The
national unemployment rate for September 2015 was 5.1 % with the unemployment rate in Florida at 5.2%
which was 0.6% lower than the prior year. The unemployment rate for Palm Beach CounTy at the fiscal
year end was 5.2°/a, down from 5.9% the previous year. We have seen a continued decline as the rate fell
to 4.7% in February 2016. According to analysis by Florida Ta.acWatch and CareerSource Palm Beach
County, "...candidates are leaving existing jobs for better positions and those who have been out of the
labor force are returning to employment" which indicates economic growth.
According to the US Census Bureau, as of October 14, 2015, median household income for Tequesta was
$59,192 which continues to be significantly higher than Florida as a whole ($46,956). Tequesta continues
to see a positive change in the housing market as property values continue to increase, another indicator of
a growing economy. Per the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office, gross taxable value for
calculating ad valorem proceeds increased from $817 million durin f� iscal vear 2014 to $864 million used
to calculate 2015 revenues. Property values continued to increase and the gross taxable value used to
calculate FY 2016 ad valorem tax revenue is $932 million. Based upon these indicators, the Village of
Tequesta is developing its operating budget with the expectation that the economy will continue to improve
and that there will be a steady increase in property values over the next few years.
Long-Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
Unassigned fund balance in the general fund at year end was 19.54% of total general fund revenues. This
amount was above policy guidelines set by the Council for budgetary and planning purposes (i.e., two
months of general fund revenues, approximately 16.7%), however it is lower than the prior year (20.8%).
To protect the investments our residents have made in their community, the Village increased the millage
rate to 6.2920 from 6.0500 which was a 9.64% percent change of the rolled-back rate (the rate required to
bring in the same amount of revenue as the prior period). The continued goal of the Village is to maintain
a consistently high quality of services to the residents, while protecting the assets, the level of service and
the quality of life that the residents have come to expect. It is the result of hard work by the Village staff,
and fiscally sound, responsible decisions by the Village Council that allows the Village to meet service
demands while minimizing the financial burden on its residents. The Village is very fortunate to have a
citizenry that is active on many boards and committees, a working staff that has shown its willingness to
take on additional responsibilities, an expanded workload and 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
community.
ii
The Village of Tequesta's primary focus is providing exceptional municipal services to its residents in the
most efficient and cost effected manner possible. Continued economic challenges require innovative
approaches on both sides of the balance sheet. Efforts to expand contractual services to generate additional
revenue should continue to be considered.
The Village continues 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 find ways to reduce the cost of health care and post-retirement costs.
• Finalize new bargaining unit contracts with the PBA and the CWA.
• Implement a 6-year capital improvement/capital replacement plan.
• To keep on track with maintenance and improvements outlined in a utility revenue sufficiency
and rate adequacy study to meet the Village's objectives for a sustained high quality utility
service by providing a stable funding plan.
Relevant Financial Policies
The Village of Tequesta has adopted a comprehensive set of financial policies. During the next fiscal year,
the Village will be reviewing and updating its Water Utility policies.
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, 2014. This was the thirty-first consecutive year that Tequesta has received this
prestigious award. In arder 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.
Respectfully submitted,

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud and error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.
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 of Tequesta, Florida as of
September 30, 2015 and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash
flows thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accardance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Village changed its method of accounting
and financial reporting for pensions as a result of the adoption of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Reporting for Pensions — an
amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for
Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date — an amendment of GASB No. 68, both
effective October l, 2014, which resulted in the Village restating net position for recognition of the
Village's pension related activity prior to October 1, 2014. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, schedules of net
pension liability (asset) and related ratios, contributions, investment returns, funding progress for
other post-employment benefits and proportionate share of the net pension liability — Florida
Retirement System Pension and Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program on pages 4-19 and 108-
123 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain
limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide
us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Village's basic financial statements. T'he combining and individual fund
statements and schedules, the introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
2
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the
basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
combining and individual fund statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June
30, 2016 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering Village's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Village of Tequesta, Florida
Management's Discussion and Analysis
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, 2015. 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 iii of this report.
Financial Hi�hli�hts
• The Village implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions, an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.
The significance and impact of implementing GASB No. 68 is explained well by Connie Spinelli,
BDK Advisors, "The changes brought about by Statements No. 67 and 68 are substantial and
complex, involving comprehensive disclosures and time-sensitive, subjective computation. GASB
has aligned pension accounting to its economic resources measurement focus and U.S. GAAP's
conceptual framework. Namely, financial statements should provide decision-useful, transparent
information that supports assessments of accountability. For governmental financial statements, these
principles are particularly useful for municipal investors and lender decisions-making. T'he updates
require recognition of the entire net pension liability and a more comprehensive measure of pension
expense. Some observers believe the changes will help financial statements users more clearly see
the consequences of future proposed benefit increases and understand the e�tent to which the total
pension liability is covered by resources held by the pension plan."
o Implementing GASB Statement No. 68 changed the amount that the Village reports as
pension assets, deferred outflows of resources from pensions, pension liability and deferred
inflows of resources from pensions in its financial statements as well as the amount the
Village reports as pension expense.
o Implementation of GASB No. 68 required restating the beginning balance of net position in
the governmental and business-type activities. The unadjusted beginning balances, the
amount of the adjustments and the restated beginning balances are shown on the face of the
financial statements.
• The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) also issued GASB Statement No. 71,
Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date. GASB No 71
modified guidance in Statement No. 68 eliminating a potential source of understatement of beginning
net position and expense in the first year of implementation and addresses mainly contributions made
by the Village to a defined benefit pension plan after the measurement date of the Village's beginning
net pension liability (the Village uses a measurement date of September 30, 2014 for fiscal year ended
September 30, 2015) for the single-employer defined benefit plans and June 30, 2015 for the cost
sharing multiple employer plan. The provisions of Statement No.71 are required to be applied
simultaneously with the provisions of Statement No.68.
• The assets and defened outflows of resources of the Village of Tequesta exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Of total net position, 23.4%
($7,420,212) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to the citizens and
creditors.
4
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
• The Village of Tequesta's total net position increased during the current period. Governmental
activities increased net position by $978,059, while business-type activities decreased net position
by $422,842.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta's governmental funds reported an
increase in combined fund balances of $385,907 from the prior year.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned,
and unassigned components of fund balance) reported in the general fund was $3,035,528.
• The Village of Tequesta's total outstanding noncurrent liabilities increased $1,069,623.
• The Village did not expend $500,000 or more in Federal and/or State financial assistance in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and therefore did not meet the threshold far a single audit
according to the Florida Single Audit Act (section 215.97 F.S.) and OMB Circular A-133.
Overview of the Fivancial 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 ofthree components: 1) government-
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements: The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the Village of Tequesta's finances, in a manner similar to a
private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the Village of Tequesta's assets,
liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position
of the Village of Tequesta is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the Village of Tequesta's net position
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus,
revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taa�es and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village of Tequesta that are
principally supported by taa�es 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 20-21 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Village of Tequesta, like other
state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
5
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Village of Tequesta can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information may be useful in assessing a governmenYs near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements,
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the
governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds
and governmental activities.
The Village of Tequesta maintains 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 aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each
of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the combining
and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
The Village of Tequesta adopts an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds. A budgetary
comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The Village of Tequesta's governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 22-25 of this
report.
Proprietary Funds. The Village of Tequesta maintains one type of proprietary fund — enterprise funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The Village of Tequesta uses enterprise funds to account for its
water, stormwater, and refuse and recycling funds.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water fund
and the Stormwater Fund, major funds, as well as the Refuse and Recycling fund, a nonmajor fund.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-28 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the Village. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statement because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. GASB Statement No. 67 was implemented in
fiscal year 2014.
The Village of Tequesta maintains one type of fiduciary fund — a Pension trust fund which is used to report
resources held in trust for retirees and beneficiaries covered by the Public Safery Pension Plan (which
includes the Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund and the Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund) and the General
Employees' Pension Plan.
The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 29-30 of this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
Notes to basic financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is necessary to acquire 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 31-107 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 OPEB benefits to its employees, as well as the Village's net
pension liability and related ratios, contributions and pension imestment returns. Required supplementary
information can be found on pages 108-123 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds and fiduciary
funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions and OPEB.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 124-130 of this report.
Government-wide Overall Financial Analysis
Net position over time, may serve as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of
the Village of Tequesta, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows
by $13,269,813 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. This decreased $579,362 from the prior year. The
majority of this decrease is due to the implementation of GASB No. 68 and No. 71 and new reporting
requirements (i.e. reporting of Net Pension Liability) explained below and in the Notes to the Financial
Statements that begins on page 41.
Village of Tequesta's Total Net Position
The Village of Tequesta's total assets and deferred outflows exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows by
approximately $32 million at the close of the 2015 fiscal year. Governmental activities recorded a change of
-4.1 % in total net position while the Village's business-type activiries recorded a-2.78°/o change in total net
position.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
The largest portion of the Village's total net position (71.3%) represents investments in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less any related outstanding debt and deferred inflows/outflows
used to acquire those assets. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, they are not available for future spending. Although the Village's investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be
provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Village of Tequesta's net position (4.9%) represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $7,420,212 is unrestricted and
may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta is able to report positive balances in all
categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its sepazate governmental and
business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

For fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, the Village of Tequesta's overall net position decreased
$1,267,057 from the prior fiscal year. As mentioned earlier, the Village restated beginning net position due
to the implementation of GASB No. 68 and No. 71 and recorded a Net Pension Liability (NPL) of
$1,389,770. The Village also recorded, and reports separately on the Statement of Net Position, a net
pension asset of $586,104 (GASB No. 68 prohibits netting the net pension asset and net pension liability of
two different pension trusts). The recording of the NPL and the restatement of beginning net position had
the largest effect on the change in ending net position from the prior year. The change resulted in the Village
recording an increase in net position from activities for the fiscal year ending September 3, 2015 while
showing a decrease in net position from the prior year. Some other changes in activities that affected net
position are: 1) revenue from ad valorem taaces increased due to an increase in the millage rate from 6.050 to
6.292 and increases in properiy values; 2) other taxes increased $88,213 with the major portion due to an extra
supplemental payment of insurance premium taxes; 3) franchise fees increased as a new franchise agreement
with Florida Power and Light came into effect during the year and 4) revenues from charges for services
decreased $108,846, due mainly to a decrease in revenues from permit fees.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
Governmental Activities — Expenses and Program Revenues
Governmental activities. Overall program revenues decreased from the prior year ($123,694) with the largest
portion ($100 thousand) due to decreased revenues from permit fees. Net expenses decreased $197,392 from
the prior period with the largest decrease ($202,794) recorded in the public safety function. The function of
general government also recorded a decrease in net expenses ($148,325) due to increased revenues from
charges for services combined with a savings in election expenses as no one opposed the incumbents and no
election was necessary. Transportation expenses increased $151,920, due mainly to additional public works
projects performed during the year.

The Village's programs/functions include General Government, Public Safety, Transportation and Leisure
Services. The net cost shows the extent to which the Village's general revenues support each ofthe Village's
programs/functions. The net cost of all governmental activities this year was $6.9 million — a 3% reduction
from the prior period. As shown on the Statement of Activities, the functions directly benefiting from the
programs generated revenue of approximately $2.5 million towards this cost and the remainder was
financed through general revenues ($79 million).

Financial Analvsis of the Villa�e's Funds
As noted earlier, the Village of Tequesta uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements
Governmental funds: The focus of the Village's governmental funds is to provide information on near- ,
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
Village's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of
a government's net resources available for discretionary use as they represent the portion of fund balance
which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external pariy, the Village of
Tequesta itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources far use for
particular purposes by the Village of Tequesta's Council.
At September 30, 2015 the Village of Tequesta's governmenta] funds reported total combined fund balances
of $4,290,552. Approximately $2.02 million (48%) of the combined governmental fund balances is
unassigned and is available for spending at the Village's discretion. Approximately 24% is assigned with
the largest portion ($1 million) assigned for hurricane/disaster emergency. Approximately $l.lmillion is
restricted for a particular purpose (i.e. debt service, etc.). And $161,037 is in nonspendable form (i.e.
inventories, prepaid items, etc.). Total combined find balances have increased 9.8% from the prior year
with the largest increase, $310,542 reported in total unassigned fund balances.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village of Tequesta. At the end of the current fiscal
year total fund balance was $3,987, ] 46, an increase of $383,619 from the prior year. Unassigned fund
balance was $2,024,550 million, an increase of $345,207 from the prior year. As a measure of the General
Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total
fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents approximately 19.54% of fiscal year 2015 General
Fund expenditures and total fund balance represents of expenditures. The Village of Tequesta has adopted
a policy to keep unassigned fund balance at a minimum of two months (] 7%) of expenditures. As shown
by the graph below, overall fund balance in the General Fund has increased from the prior year.
Additionally, for the first time in six years the Village has not relied on appropriating fund balance to
support its operations. This positive movement is due mainly to positive changes in the economy (increasing
property values) along with budgetary polices that were put into place to reduce the use of existing fund
balance to support activities.

As noted in the table above, total General Fund revenue has increased $758,164 (7.96%). The largest
increase was due to an increase in the ta�c rate as well as increased property values. The decrease in revenue
from licenses and permits is indicative of the cyclical nature of this revenue in a small community that is
almost completely built out.

Total General fund expenditures decreased slightly from the prior year ($77,204) due to a decrease in capital
outlay and an overall increase in other expenditures. Part of the decrease in capital outlay ($481,815) was
due to; 1) less funding towards capital projects during the fiscal year and 2) more capital projects funded
and recorded in the capital projects fund rather than the general fund. The decreases were offset by increases
in expenditures in the functions of: public safety, general government, transportation and leisure services
($379,194). The cost of debt has remained fairly stable increasing 3.5% from the prior year due to a capital
lease entered into during the year. Below is a graphic presentation of how the Village expends funds and
how they compare to the prior period.

in from other funds. There were roadway improvements of $8,000 encumbered in the Capital Improvement
fund at the end of fiscal year ending 9/30/2015.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund original budget was increased $474,285. The most significant items that were added to
the budget during the year were; the purchase of police department vehicles; $244,778 and the write off of
$62,995 in bad debt related to transport fees.
Proprietary funds: The Village's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2015
Noncurrent liabilities: At the end of the current fiscal year, the Villages had a total of $10,078,031 of
noncurrent liabilities. The largest portion are debt instruments in the form of promissory notes with Bank
of America that are secured by general revenue sources. The table below summarizes the Village's debt
position.
In implementing GASB No. 68 the Village recognized a net pension liability (NPL) of $1,389,770. The
Village is presenting the NPL as a separate component of the noncurrent liabilities on the face of the
financial statements to present more clearly the Village's long-term pension obligations. A more detailed
explanation can be found in Note 3.K — Noncurrent Liabilities starting on page 103.

Economic Factor and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
The following economic factors currently affect the Village of Tequesta and were considered in developing
the 2014-2015 fiscal year budgets.
• The Village Council's decision to raise the millage rate from 6.050 mills to 6.292 and an increase in
property values will result in an increase in taY revenues. The Village is expecting property values
to continue to rise.
• There has been a positive move in the housing market, new home construction is increasing and
inventory of homes has decreased significantly from the prior period. According to the Associated
General Contractors of America, Florida was second only to Califarnia in new construction jobs over
the past year (+6.5%).
• Millennials emerged as a dominant force in 2015, representing almost 2 million sales, which is more
than one-third of the total in the State. (Jeannie M. Ferrara, Water Pointe Realty Group)
• Interest rates remained low as the Federal Reserve has been slow in taking any action to raise rates
significantly.
• Revenues from sales taxes increased from the prior year and the State of Florida continues to work
to capture online sales taxes.
• The CPI remains lower than 2%, (the number the Fed is looking for).
• The U.S. Gross domestic Product has been growing at a rate slightly over 2%.
• The Village of Tequesta's water rates increased 7% during the year and will increase another 7% on
October 1, 2016 to fund capital needs.

(Page 19) are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (Page 24) $ 385,645
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation in the current period.
The details of the difference are as follows:
Capital outlay 399,457
Depreciation expense (719,310
Net Adjustment (319,853)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current fmancial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current fmancial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net position.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. DESCRIPTION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all non-fiduciary activities of the primary
government and any component units (the Village has no component units). All fiduciary
funds are presented separately. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by
taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions, are reported
separately from business-rype activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges
to external customers for support.
B. REPORTING ENTITY
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 governed by a five (5) member Council elected at large. Each year, the Council
appoints one of its members Mayor, to serve at the pleasure of Council for one year. The
Village's major operations include public safety (police, fire rescueBMS, building and code
enfarcement), transportation (streets and roads), leisure services (culture and recreation),
water, stormwater, recycling services and general and administrative.
The definition of the financial reporting entity is based upon the concept that elected officials
are accountable to their constituents for their actions. One of the objectives of financial
reporting is to provide users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the
accountability of the elected officials. The financial reporting entity consists of the Village,
organizations for which the Village is financially accountable and other organizations for
which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Village are such that exclusion
would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The
Village is financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization's governing board and it is able to impose its will on that organization or there
is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific
financial burdens on the Village. The Village has no component units to report for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2015.
C. BASIS OF PRESENTATION- GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are
interrelated. Both sets of statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type
activities of the Village. The governmental activities column incorporates data from
governmental funds while business-types activities incorporate data from the Village's
enterprise funds. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the
government-wide financial statements.

C. BASIS OFPRESENTf1TION- GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STfiTEMENTS �CONTINUED�
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where
the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other
charges between the Village of Tequesta's water and various other functions of the
government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
The Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Village's
governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities are those supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities rely to a significant extent on
fees and charges for support. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which
the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program
revenues include 1) charges for goods or services that are recovered directly from customers
for services rendered and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items
not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
D. BASIS OFPRESENTfiTION- FUND FINANCIAL ST�ITEMENTS
The fund financial statements provide information about the Village's funds, including its
fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each fund category — governmental, proprietary and
fiduciary — are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major
governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining
governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major
individual governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements. Fiduciary funds are presented apart from major and nonmajor funds.
The Village reports the following majar governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Village's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those accounted for in another fund.
The Village reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Water Fund, which accounts for the activities of the water utility, which includes the
processing and distribution of potable water to Village residents and some surrounding
communities, and the Stormwater Utility Fund, which accounts for the construction and
maintenance of the Village's stormwater system.

Additionally, the Village reports the following fund type:
The pension trust funds account for the activities of the Public Safety Employees' and the
General Employees' Pension Trust Funds, which accumulate resources for pension benefit
payments to qualified employees.
During the course of operations, the Village has activity between funds for various purposes.
Any residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds and
advances to/from other funds. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements,
certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements.
Balances between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that only
the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental activities column.
Similarly, balances between the funds included in the business-type activities (i.e., the
enterprise funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances
in the business-type activities column.
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between
funds. In fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers
in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the
preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds
included in governmental activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as
transfer in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds
included in business-type activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as
transfers in the business-type activities column.
E. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OFACCODNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable
measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of
resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The
basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the
financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned
and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants
and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider have been met.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED�
E. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OFACCOIINTING (CONTINUED�
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be
available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay
liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Village considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 45 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital
asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term
debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current
fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all
eligibility requirements are met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received
during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 45 days of
year-end). Expenditure-driving grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying
expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the
amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source
(within 45 days of year-end). All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the Village.
The proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting for reporting its assets and liabilities and deferred inflows and
outflows of resources (as described above).
The pension trust funds are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member and
state contributions are recognized as revenues in the period that the contributions are due.
Employer contributions to each Plan are recognized when due and the employer has made a
formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. All plan investments are reported
at fair value 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 were reported
on that date are valued at the last reported bid price. Securities without an established fair
value are reported at estimated fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on
a trade-date basis.

F. BiIDGET,4RYINFORMATION
1. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. Per
established procedures approved by the Village Council, the designated budget officer
may approve a department head's request to transfer appropriations between accounts,
within a department. Although the Village Council requires all inter-deparhnent budget
amendments to go before the Village Council, the budget was adopted on a fund basis and
the legal level of budgetary control is at that level. What this means is that any
amendments that change the total fund's budget requires the Village Council to approve
it in the same manner that the original budget was approved — by resolution.
Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they have
related encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed
(executory) contracts for goods ar services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and
commitments). Encumbrance accounting is utilized to the extent necessary to assure
effective budgetary control and accountability and to facilitate effective cash planning and
control. While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse at year end, valid outstanding
encumbrances (those for which performance under the executor contract is expected in
the next year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year's budget
pursuant to state regulations.

POSITION/FUND BALANCE
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Village's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand
deposits, and short-term inveshnents with original maturities of three months or less from
the date of acquisition.
2. Investments
Investments for the Village of Tequesta are reported at fair value, except for the position
in the State Board of Administration Investment Pool (SBA). The SBA administers
Florida PRIME and is governed by Chapter 19-7 of the Florida Administrative Code and
Chapters 218 and 215 of the Florida Statutes.

3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories
consist of expendable supplies and water distribution repair parts. The cost of such
inventories is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when
purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The
cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than
when purchased.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure and intangible
assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets, except for infrastructure and intangible assets, are defined by
the Village as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated
useful life in excess of two years. For infrastructure and intangible assets the same
estimated minimum useful life is used (in excess of two years), but only those projects
that cost more than $25,000 are reported as capital assets. In the case of the initial
capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental
activities), the Village of Tequesta chose not to capitalize infrastructure acquired in fiscal
years ending prior to September 30, 2004. As the Village constructs or acquires additional
capital assets each period they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported
value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in
relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or
increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair
value at the date of donation.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of enterprise funds is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The amount of interest
capitalized depends on the specific circumstances and is not applied to the governmental
funds or the government-wide financial statements. There was no interest capitalized in
2015.

Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. The other property, plant,
equipment, and infrastructure of the primary government are depreciated using the straight
line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20 — 40 years
Improvements 20 — 50 years
Infrastructure 20 — 50 years
Machinery and equipment 5— 15 years
Intangibles 5 — 20 years
5. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred
out ows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption
of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Village has two items that qualify for
reporting in this category. They are; 1) Deferred outflows related to Pensions and; 2)
Deferred charge on refunding resulting from the difference in the carrying value of
refunded debt and its reacquisition price, and is amortized over the shorter of the life of
the refunded or refunding debt. These items are reported in the government-wide
statement of net position and the statement of net position of the proprietary funds.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for
deferred in ows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an
acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as
an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Village has two types of items that
qualify for reporting in this category; 1) Deferred inflows related to pensions and; 2)
deferred inflows of resources from local business taxes received in advance. These
amounts will be recognized in the period in which they become earned.

6. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (e.g. restricted bond or grant proceeds). In order to calculate the
amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position, in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be
made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village's
policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted befare unrestricted net
position is applied.
7. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In
order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned
fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be
made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village's
policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted befare using any of the
components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted
fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first,
followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
8. Fund Balance Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature
of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The Village itself
can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed
fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the
specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of
decision-making authority. The Village Council is the highest level of decision-making
authority for the Village of Tequesta that can, by adoption of an ordinance or resolution
(equally binding), which are of equal decision-making authority, prior to the end of the
fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance
or resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another
ordinance or resolution) to remove or revise the limitation.

POSITION/FUND BALANCE (CONTINUED�
S. Fund Balance Policies (continued)
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the Village
for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Village
Council (Council) has, by adopting a fund balance policy, authorized the Village Manager
and/or the Finance Director to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund
balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated
revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year's appropriated budget. Unlike
commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional
action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely,
as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a
commitment.
H. REVENUESANDEXPENDITiIRES/EXPENSES
1. Program Revenues
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given
function or segment and 2) grants and contributions (including special assessments) that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. All taxes, including those dedicated for specific purposes, and other internally
dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
2. Property Taxes
Property tax collections are governed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. Property taxes are
based on assessed property value at January ls as determined by the Palm Beach County
Property Appraiser. The Village of Tequesta sets the property tax millage rate in
September. The Palm Beach County Tax Collector bills and collects all property taxes
levied within the County. Florida Statutes limit the county-wide millage rate to a
maximum of 10 mills, excluding voter-approved debt service millage rates. The millage
rate for the Village in fiscal year 2015 was 6.2920 mills. Tax bills are mailed out
November 1 st and discounts are available for payment made in the following months;
November 4%, December 3%, January 2% and February 1%. Taxes become delinquent
on April 1S The owner of a tax certificate may at any time after taxes have been
delinquent (April 1), for two years, file an application for a tax deed sale. Tax deeds are

issued to the highest bidder for the property which is sold at public auction. The Tax
Collector remits current taxes collected through four distributions to the Village in the
first two months of the tax year and one distribution each month thereafter. The Village
recognizes property tax revenue in the period in which they are levied. The Tax Collector
pays the Village interest on monies held from day of collection to day of distribution.
3. Compensated Absences
Vacation
The Village's policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation
benefits, which are eligible for payment upon separation from the Village's service up to
the maximum allowable limit. The liability for such leave is reported as incurred in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for those amounts
is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured as a result of
employee resignations or retirements. The liability for compensated absences includes
salary-related benefits, where applicable.
Sick Leave
The Village's policy permits employees to accumulate unused sick leave up to a maximum
amount approved by Council. Upon termination, this leave is eligible for payment at
percentages determined by years of service. The liability for such leave is reported as
incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements when the
liability has matured. A liability for those amounts is recorded in the governmental funds
only if the liability has matured as a result of employee resignations or retirements.
4. Proprietary Funds Operating and Non-Operating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing
and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the water fund, refuse and recycling fund and
stormwater fund are charges to customers for sales and services. The water fund also
recognizes as operating revenue, the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of
connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds
include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-
operating revenues and expenses.

I. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and deferred outflows and
liabilities and deferred inflows and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
J IMPLEMENTf1 TION OF GO I�ERNMENT,4L ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STf1 TEMENTS
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions — An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, the Village is now required to
record its relative share of pension related amounts in its Statement of Net Position and
Statement of Activities.
This statement includes the definitions of balances to be included in deferred inflows and
deferred outflows of resources. Those definitions include the following:
Net Pension Liability. Previous standards defined pension liabilities in terms of the
annual required contribution. GASB Statement No. 68 defines the pension asset or
liability as the portion of the actuarial present value of projected benefit payments that is
attributed to past periods of employee service, net of the pension plan's fiduciary net
position.
Deferred Inflows and Deferred Outflows of Resources Related to Pensions. GASB
Statement No. 68 and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions
Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date — an amendment of GASB No. 68, include
recognition of deferred inflows and deferred outflows of resources associated with the
difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments. These
differences are to be recognized in pension expense using a systematic and rational
method over a closed five-year period.
The Village's net pension liability (asset), deferred inflows and outflows related to
pensions, and pension expense have been determined on the basis reported by the
Village's defined benefit pension plans and the Florida Retirement System (FRS) and are
now reflected in the Village's Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. This new guidance requires the restatement of
the prior year net position.

Custodial credit risk-deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a
bank failure, the government's deposits may not be returned to it. All of the Village's deposits
are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes, Chapter 280,
Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. Under the Act, every qualified public depository
shall deposit with the Treasurer eligible collateral of the depository to be held subject to his
or her order. The pledging level may range from 25% to 200% of the average monthly balance
of public deposits depending upon the depository's financial condition and establishment
period. All collateral must be deposited with an approved financial institution. Any potential
losses to public depositors are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities
pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessments against other qualified public depositories
of the same type as the depository in default. At September 30, 2015, none of the Village's
primary bank balances were exposed to custodial credit risk.

B. INVESTMENTS
The Village has adopted an investment policy in accordance with Florida Statutes and is
authorized to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities,
certificates of deposit, the State Board of Administration Investment Pool, any
intergovernmental investment pools authorized pursuant to Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes,
SEC registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally
recognized rating agency, and securities of any interest in any open-end or closed-end
management type investment company or investment trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio is limited to obligations of U.S. government,
its agencies and instrumentalities and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such
U.S. government obligations and provided that such investment company or investment trust
takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian.
The State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the Florida PRIME investment pool
which is governed by Chapter 19-7 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and
215 of the Florida Statutes. The Florida PRIME is not a registrant with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC); 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. As a
participant, the Village invests in a pool of investments owning a share of the pool, not the
underlying securities. The fair value of the position in the Florida PRIME is equal to the value
of the pool shares. The investments in the Florida PRIME are not insured by FDIC or any other
governmental agency.

Interest Rate Risk — the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer to maturity the greater the exposure.
The Village manages its exposure to declines in fair values by limiting the weighted average
maturity of its investments portfolio to less than five years. The Village doesn't have a formal
policy related to a specific investment related risk.
Credit Risk - the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The Village limits credit
risk by requiring investments be limited to specific securities and short-term obligations of
U.S. corporations that are rated at one of the three highest classifications as established by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk — the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment
in a single issuer. At this time the Village is invested in the SBA investment pool which
represents 3% of total deposits and investments.
Custodial Credit Risk-Investments - the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty, the Village will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At this time, the Village is only
invested in the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA) investment pool.

Interest Rate Risk - the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an inveshnent in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity the greater the
exposure. The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk, however;
• The established performance objectives require investment maturities to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
• At September 30, 2015, there were no direct investments in debt instruments. However,
there were investments in mutual funds that included debt instruments in their portfolio.
Credit Risk - the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations. The investment policy
limits credit risk by requiring that:
� Fixed income inveshnents 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk - the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment
in a single issuer. The investment policy limits exposure to this risk by:
• Limiting investments in common stock, capital stock or convertible stock of any one
issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing company to 5% of the outstanding capital
stock of the company.
• Limiting the value of corporate bonds issued by any single corporation to not more than
5% of the total fund.
• Limiting investments in corparate common stock and convertible bonds (not exceed 70%
of the fund assets at fair value). Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-government
entities are limited to 15% of the fixed income portfolio.
• Limiting inveshnents in foreign securities (not exceed 25% of the value at cost of the fund).
Custodial Credit Risk - the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the
government will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure
to this risk by:
• Requiring all securities to be held with a third party custodian.
• Requiring security transactions between a broker/dealer and the custodian involving the
purchase or sale of securities by transfer of money or securities are made on a"delivery vs.
payment" basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money, as appropriate,
in hand at the conclusion of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk - is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in
currency exchange rates. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as:
• Foreign investments are through ADR's (shares listed in the U.S.), Mutual funds
(registered in the U.S.), or Yankee bonds (denominated in U.S. dollars should not exceed
5% of total fund).
• The investment policy permits a m�imum of 25% of the fair value of the fund securities
to be invested in foreign securities.
• At September 30, 2015, 0.2°/a of the fair value of the fund was invested in foreign securities

Money Weighted Rate of Return and Target Allocation
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the overall annual money-weighted rate of
return (long-term expected real rate of return) on the Public Safety Pension Plan investments
(both Police Officers' and Firefighters') was 0.38%. The money-weighted rate of return
expresses investment performance, net of investment manager and consultant expenses
adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments, shown below by asset class,
is developed using best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation). These ranges are combined to produce
the long term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target
asset allocation as well as the long-term expected real rate of return as of September 30, 2015
are as follows:

Investments — General Emplovees' Pension Trust Fund (continued)
Investment Policy Statement (continued)
Interest Rate Risk - the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the
exposure. The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk, however;
• The established performance objectives require inveshnent maturities to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
• At September 30, 2015, the weighted average maturity in years for each investrnent type
is included in the preceding table and ranges from 1.27 to 1.64 years.
Credit Risk - the risk that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations.
The Plan limits exposure that a debt issuer will not fulfill its obligations by limiting investments
made or held in the fund to:
� Obligations issued by the U.S. Government or obligations guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the U.S. government or by an agency of the U.S. Government;
• Bonds, stocks, or commingled funds administered by national or state banks, or other
evidences or indebtedness, issued or guaranteed by a corporation organized under the laws
of the United States, any state or organized territory of the United States, or District of
Columbia provided that the securities meet the following ranking criteria:
o Fixed income investments holding a rating in one of the four highest classifications by
a major rating service.
o Equities that are traded on a National Exchange.
Concentration of Credit Risk - the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment
in a single issuer. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure by:
• Limiting investments in common stock or capital stock of any one issuing company or
aggregate of any one issuing company to 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the
company.
• Limiting the value of bonds issued by any single corporation not exceed 10% of the total
fund.
• Limiting investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds not exceed 70%
of the fund assets at fair value.
• Limiting investments in foreign securities not exceed 25% of the fair value of the fund.

Custodial Credit Risk — the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a
single issuer. The Plan's investment policy limits exposure to this risk by:
• Requiring all securities to be held by a third party custodian in the name of the Plan. As of
September 30, 2015, the Plan's investment portfolio was held with a third-party custodian.
• Requiring securities transactions between a broker-dealer and the custodian involving
purchase or sale of securities by the transfer of money or securities to be made on a
"delivery vs. payment" basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money
in hand at the conclusion of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk - is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in
currency exchange rates. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as:
• Foreign investments are through ADR's (shares listed in the U.S.), Mutual funds
(registered in the U.S.), or Yankee bonds (traded in U.S. dollars).
• The investment policy permits a m�imum of 25% of the fair value of the fund securities
to be invested in foreign securities.
• At September 30, 2015, 4.4% of the fair value of the fund was invested in foreign securities.
Money Weighted Rate of Return and Target Allocation
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the overall annual money-weighted rate of
return (long-term expected real rate of return) on the General Employees' Pension Plan
investments was -2.11%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment
performance, net of investment manager and consultant expenses adjusted for the changing
amounts actually invested
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments, shown below by asset class,
is developed using best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation). These ranges are combined to produce
the long term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the
Pension Plan before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the
annual cost-of-living adjustment is three percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled
before July 1, 2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually
calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of
three percent determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total
service credit at retirement multiplied by three percent. Plan members initially enrolled on
or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement.
In addition to the above benefits, the DROP program allows eligible members to defer receipt
of monthly retirement benefit payments while continuing employment with a FRS employer
for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate. Deferred monthly benefits
are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. There are no required contributions by
DROP participants.
Contributions — Effective July 1, 201 l, all enrolled members of the FRS, other than DROP
participants, are required to contribute three percent of their salary to the FRS. In addition to
member contributions, governmental employers are required to make contributions to the

are updated as of July 1 of each year. The employer contribution rates by job class for the
periods from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 and from July 1, 2015 through
September 30, 2015, respectively, were as follows: Regular — 7.37% and 7.26%; special Risk

The total pension liability for the FRS was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the
valuation date July 1, 2015, calculated based on the discount rate and actuarial assumptions
below. The total pension liability is calculated using the Individual Entry Age Normal cost
allocation method, which differs from the Ultimate Entry Age Normal cost allocation method
used in the funding valuation for the plan. The net pension liability was measured as of June
30, 2015.
At September 30, 2015, the Village reported a liability of $287,876 for its proportionate share
of the Pension Plan's net pension liability. The Village's proportionate share of the net
pension liability was based on the Village's 2014-2015 fiscal year contributions relative to
the 2013-2014 fiscal year contributions of all participating members. At June 30, 2015
Measurement Date, the Village's proportionate share was 0.002228771%, which was a
decrease of 0.000680644% from its proportionate share measure as of June 30, 2014.

their health insurance costs and is administered by the Department of Management Services,
Division of Retirement.
Benefits Provided — For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, eligible retirees and beneficiaries
received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service completed
at the time of retirement multiplied by $5. The payments are at least $30 but not more than
$150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a
HIS benefit, a retiree under a state-administered retirement system must provide proof of
health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare.
Contributions — For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, eligible retirees and beneficiaries
received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service completed

HIS benefit, a retiree under a state-administered retirement system must provide proof of
health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare.
T'he Village's contributions to the HIS Plan totaled $6,489 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2015.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred
Inflows of Resources
Actuarial valuations for the HIS Program are conducted biennially. The July l, 2014, HIS
valuation is the most recent actuarial valuation which was used to develop the liabilities for
the June 30, 2015. Liabilities originally calculated as of the actuarial valuation date have been
recalculated as of a later GASB measurement date using a standard actuarial roll-forward
technique.

At September 30, 2015, the Village reported a liability of $171,031 for its proportionate
share of the Pension Plan's net pension liability. The Village's proportionate share of the
net pension liability was based on the Village's 2014-15 fiscal year contributions
relative to the 2013-14 fiscal year contributions of all participating members. At June
30, 2015, the Village's proportionate share was 0.001677035%, which was a decrease
of 0.000462417% from its proportionate share measured as of June 30, 2014.
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date,
calculated based on the discount rate and actuarial assumptions below, and was then projected
to the measurement date. Any significant changes during this period have been reflected as
prescribed by GASB No.67.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Village recognized pension expense of

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 3.80%. In general, the
discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single rate equivalent
to discounting at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to the
projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go
basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent discount
rate is equal to the municipal bond rate selected by the HIS Plan sponsor. The Bond Buyer
General Obligation 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index was adopted as the applicable municipal
bond index.

The Village of Tequesta Single-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Overview: The Village maintains two single-employer defined benefit pension plans, the
Public Safety O�cers' Pension Trust Fund and the General Employees' Pension Trust Fund_
The Public Safety Officers' Pension Trust Fund receives contributions that may not be used
to pay benefits of all employee classes, therefore, two separate trust funds, the Firefighters'
Pension Trust Fund (FPTF) and the Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund (PPTF) are reflected
separately in the financial statements, as well as the General Employee's Trust Fund (GPTF).
Effective February 1, 2013, the PPTF was not available to new employees, however, Police
officers, who began work with the Village after February 1, 2013 are able to participate in a
defined contribution plan (described in note 3F below).

Actuarial Assumptions and Net Pension Liability (NPL)
The actuarial valuation of the liabilities for the FPTF, PPT'F and GPTF as of the September 30,
2014 measurement date was determined as of the beginning of the year, October 1, 2013 (based
on actuarial valuation results as reported in the October 1, 2013 actuarial valuation). Using a
measurement date of September 30, 2014 allows for timelier reporting at the end of the year.
T'he GPTF report was dated January 29, 2014 and the FPTF and PPTF reports were dated
January 30, 2014. These liabilities are used for GASB Statement No. 68 reporting for the
reporting period ending September 30, 2015.
The total pension liability for the Village of Tequesta's defined benefit pension plans was
determined using the following actuarial methods and assumptions, applied to all prior
periods included in the measurement period. Actuarially determined contribution rates are
calculated as of October 1, two years prior to the end of the fiscal year in which contributions
are reported. If significant changes occur during the year, such as benefit changes or changes
in assumptions or methods, these would be noted in the footnotes.

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. This single
discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%.
The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan
member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total actuarially
determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension
plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments (7.50%) was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments
to determine the total pension liability.
Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the single discount rate,
the table below presents the plan's net pension liability, calculated using a single discount
rate of 7.50%, as well as what the plan's net pension liability would be if it were calculated
using a single discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher
(amounts in parenthesis represent a net pension asset).

Village of Tequesta Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The Village of Tequesta' Single Employer Defined Contribution Pension Plan (the Plan) was
established on February 1, 2013 with and effective date of March 1, 2013. The Plan is a
401(a) money purchase plan in the form of The ICMA Retirement Corporation Governmental
Money Purchase Plan and Trust with assets of the Plan held in trust for the exclusive benefit
of the Plan participants and their beneficiaries. The assets shall be invested in the
VantageTrust, and shall not be diverted to any other purpose. The employer's beneficial
ownership of Plan assets held in the VantageTrust shall be held for the further exclusive
benefit of the Plan participants. The Village Manager is the coordinator for the Plan and is
authorized to execute all necessary agreements with the ICMA Retirement Corporation
incidental to the administration of the Plan. The Village serves as Trustee under the Plan.
In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the Plan plus
investment earnings.
The Plan covers Police officers hired after February 1, 2013. Employees must designate a
mandatory participation contribution between the range of 0 to 5% for the Plan year as a
condition of participation in the Plan. The participant shall not have the right to discontinue
or vary the rate after becoming a Plan participant. Newly eligible employees have an election
window of 30 days from the date of eligibility to make the election to participate in the
mandatory contribution portion of the Plan which will begin the first of the month following
the end of the election window. This election is irrevocable and remains in force until the
employee terminates employment or ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan. The
Village is required to match employee contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5%.
Employees are immediately vested in the Plan. Plan provisions are established and may be
amended by the Village of Tequesta.
The Village does not hold or administer resources of the Plan and consequently, the Plan does
not meet the requirements for inclusion in the Village's financial statements. The Plan does
not issue a stand-alone financial report. The fair value of the plan assets at September 30,
2015 was $130,089. Employee contributions to the Plan for fiscal year ended September 30,
2015 were $30,329; the City's contribution was $39,319.

Village of Tequesta Defined Contribution Pension Plan (continued)
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.
G. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (OPEB� OBLIGATIONS
Village of Tequesta's Other Postemployment Benefits Plan
Funding Policy. 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 Statement No. 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 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.
The annual OPEB cost for the Village for the current year and the related information for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 is as follows:

resulting in retirees declining to purchase the Village's health insurance and consequently
the Village recognized no annual OPEB cost in those years. Beginning in fiscal year 2014,
the Village offered a traditional health insurance package resulting in new retirees electing
to purchase health insurance through the Village's plan and the Village incurring and
reporting an annual OPEB cost in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

Inter-Local Agreement
On December 20, 1994, the Village entered into an Inter-local 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.
I. 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 O1, 2007 and expiring September 30, 2013. 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,
2013 and expiring September 30, 2017.
J. RISKMANAGEMENT
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.

.T. RISKMANAGEMENT (CONTINUED�
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 $11,126 in fiscal year 2015 related to policy year 2012/2013 and $1,081 in
related to policy year 2013/2014.
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 2014/2015 resulted in the Village being
refunded a total of $6,299, of which $5,044 was workers' compensation related. This was
due to actual employee wages being lower than estimated for the Trust term, which also
impacted our general liability which experienced a refund of $2,832. Property and auto both
experienced increases, accounting for an additional $462 and $2,905, respectively. The
noticeable increase to the auto policy audit premium is due directly to the addition of 14 items
to the vehicle schedule.
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.
K. LEASE OBLIGATIONS
Capital Lease- Fire Pumper
The Village entered into a capital lease with SunTrust in the amount of $432,844 with funding
on October 29, 2013 for the financing of a fire pumper. The applicable interest rate is 2.423%
and interest and principal payments are due annually on November l lth. This is a nine (9)
year lease with ten (10) payments.

M. FUND BALANCE
Minimum Fund Balance Policy
The Village Council has adopted a financial policy to maintain a minimum level of
unassigned fund balance in the general fund. The target level is set at two months of general
fund annual revenues (approximately 16.7%). This amount is intended to provide fiscal
stability when economic downturns and other unexpected events occur. If fund balance falls
below the minimum target level because it has been used, essentially as a"revenue" source,
as dictated by current circumstances, the policy provides for actions to replenish the amount
to the minimum target level. Generally, replenishment is to occur within a three-year period.
N. INTERFUND TRANSFERS
The composition of interfund transfers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 is as

GASB Statement No. 68 at the beginning of the fiscal year, by restating the beginning balances
of net position for both government-wide and business-type activities. The unadjusted
beginning balances, the amount of the adjustments and the restated beginning balances are
shown on the face of the Statement of Activities. Deferred outflows and deferred inflows
defined in GASB Statement No. 68 were recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30,

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTE TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
NOTE 1- BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The Village is required to present a budget to actual comparison for the general fund and any
major special revenue fund with a legally adopted annual budget. The Village may not
include nonmajor special revenue funds, or funds of other fund types. This fiscal year, the
Village presents this schedule for the general fund only.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. For budgeting purposes, current year encumbrances are not
treated as expenditures.
All budgets are legally enacted through passage of a resolution. Although the Village Council
requires all inter-department budget amendments to go before the Village Council for
approval, the budget was adopted on a fund basis and the legal level of budgetary control is
at that level. What this means is that any amendment that changes the fund's total budget
requires the Village Council to approve it in the same manner that the original budget was
approved — by resolution.
The ori�inal bud� is the budget in place at the start of the fiscal year, which includes all of
the following
The budget passed by the Village Council
+Subsequent amendments made prior to the start of the fiscal year
+Carryovers from the previous year (encumbrances)
=0riginal budget
The anal budget includes all adjustments to the budget applicable to the fiscal year, even if
they take place after the close of the fiscal year.
During the year, total supplemental appropriations of $566,210 were approved and adopted
for the General Fund. Of this amount, $170,480 was appropriated for fund balance.
Appropriations are legally controlled at the fund level and expenditures may not legally
exceed budgeted appropriations at that level. Appropriations lapse at year end.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and
therefare cannot be used to support the government's own programs. Pension trust funds
are fiduciary funds that are used to report resources required to be held in trust for the
members and beneficiaries of defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans,
other post-employment benefit plans, or other employee benefit plans. The Village
accounts for two defined benefit plans (Public Safety reports separate trust funds for Police
Officers and Firefighters) and a separate fund is reported for each individual trust fund.
The three trust funds are as follows:
Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources
and for contributions and benefits of the firefighter employees.
Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of
resources and for contributions and benefits of the police employees hired prior to February
1, 2013.
General Employees' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of
resources and for contributions and benefits for the general employees of the Village.

Note: For debt repaid with property taYes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values.
Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the Village taacable assessed value and dividing it by the PBC taxable
assessed value. (Data provided by the PBC Property Appraiser's Office)
Overlapping govemments 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 govemments that is bome 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
bome by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taacpayer is a resident and
therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping govemment.

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 GOVERNMENTAUDITINGSTANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Tequesta (the Village), as of and for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Village's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon
dated June 30, 2016.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village's
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances 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. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village's
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant defaciency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village's financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the 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.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Village's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.
