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 30,2016.
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 30,2016. 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 (the Village) 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 northem Palm Beach
County, Florida. It is almost completely built-out/developed.
The Village's growth potential is restricted by the natural boundaries of the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the
Loxahatchee River to the west,the Town of Jupiter to the south and Martin County to the north. It is empowered
by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it has done from time to time.
The Village has a Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in
an elected governing body of the Village consisting of a five-member Village CounciL Council members are
elected at large and select a Mayor at their first organizational meeting each year. Council members serve two-
year terms,with three members elected every other year. The Village Council appoints the Village of Tequesta's
manager,who is responsible for hiring all Village employees.
i
The Village provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; building inspections; licenses
and permits; the constniction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure, recreational and cultural
activities, water services, stormwater operations and contracts for residential refuse and recycling services.
The Counci! is required to adopt an initill budget prior[o the beginning of the fiscal year 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 department with the approval of the budget officer and the Village
Manager. Transfers between departments require the budget amendments be approved hy the Village Council,
while changes to the total fund budget requires approval of the Village Council by resolution.
Local Economy
The Village, located in Palm Beach County, is the third most populous county in the State of Florida
(approximately 1.3 million). The latest population estimate prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that
current population of the Village of Tequesta is 5,629. Tequesta is home to middle to upper-income suburban
families;has a small commercial area and no major industries located within its boundaries.It is home to a number
of assisted living facilities, private schools and a high-end treatment center.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, over the past year, 43 states, including
Florida,had job growth from a year earlier. The national unemployment rate for September 2016 was 5.0%with
the unemployment rate in Florida at 4.9% which was 0.3% lower than the prior year.The unemployment rate for
Palm Beach County at the fiscal year end was 5.2%, which was consistent with the previous year. We have seen
a continued improvement as the rate fell to 4.7°lo in February 2016. According to analysis by Florida TaxWatch
1nd 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 U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income for Tequesta was$54,794 which continues
to be significantly higher than Florida as a whole ($47,507). 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 $864 million during fiscal year 2015 to $932 million used to calculate 2016 revenues. Property values
continued to increase and the gross taxab(e value used to calculate 2017 ad valorem tax revenue is approximate
$1 billion. Based upon these indicators, the Village 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 fiscal year-end was 18.98% 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(19.54°Io). 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 for[unate 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's primary focus is providing exceptional municipa( services to its residents in the most efficient and
cost effected manner possible.Con[inued 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 Villlge continues researching ways to control the growing cost of hellth care and post-retirement benefits
and has implemented changes and negotiated concessions with the cu�Y�ent bargaining units.The Village 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 retirement costs.
• 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.
• Develop plans and specifications for the construction of the new Community Center.
• Implement 5-year automatic read meters and technology for the Village Water Utility.
Relevant Financral Policies
The Village has adopted a comprehensive set of financi�l 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 the Village for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2015. This was the thirty-third consecutive year that the Village has received this prestigious
award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the Village 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 CeRificate 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 Village'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's finances.
Respectfully submitted,
►

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To The Honorable Mayor,Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta,Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fiznd information of the
Village of Tequesta, Florida (the Village) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village's basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presenta.tion 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 intemal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of fmancial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud and error.
Auditors'Responsibiliry
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 perfomung 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
intemal 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 effecriveness of the entity's intemal 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 govemmental activities, the business-type acrivities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Tequesta, Florida as of
September 30, 2016 and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash
flows thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information, schedules of net
pension liability (assets) and rarios, contriburions, investrnent returns, funding progress,
proportionate share of the net pension liability — Florida Retirement System Pension and Retiree
Health Insurance Subsidy Program on pages 4-18 and 98-113 be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part
of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express
an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Village's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund
statements and schedules, 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 prepaze 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 staristical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Audidng Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June
28, 2017 on our consideration of the Village's intemal 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
intemal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on intemal 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 intemal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD&A)
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2016
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 yeaz ended September
30, 2016. 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 Hiahlights
• The Village implemented GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, in
fiscal yeaz ended September 30, 2016. The objective of this statement is to improve the reporting by
clarifying the definition of fair value for financial reporting. This statement requires most
investments be measured at fair value. The determination of whether an asset is an investment, is
made by management at the time of acquisition and retained for reporting purposes even if the usage
of the asset changes.
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Village of Tequesta exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by$31,342,647. Of total net
position, 24.7% ($7,729,272) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to the
citizens and creditors.
• The Village of Tequesta's total net position decreased during the current period. Governmental
activities changed net position by $(365,822), due largely to the net pension liability of the
Firefighters Pension increasing $919,896. The business-type activities net position decrease by
$(24,818)due mainly to the cost of repair and maintenance projects during the year.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta's governmental funds reported an
increase in combined fund balances of$477,973 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$3,139,765.
• The Village of Tequesta's total outstanding noncurrent liabilities increased $623,484 due mainly to
an increase in the net pension liability and an increase related to OPEB.
• The Village did not expend $750,000 or more in federal awazd or state financial assistance in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and therefore did not meet the threshold for a single audit
according to the Florida Single Audit Act(section 215.97 F.S.)or OMB Uniform Guidance.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Village of Tequesta's basic
financial statements. The Village's basic financial statements consist of three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements,2) fund financial statements, and 3)notes to the financial statements.
This report also includes supplementary information intended to furuish additional detail to support the basic
financial statements themselves.
4
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2016
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 posirion. 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 yeaz. 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
aze reported in this staxement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the govemment-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village of Tequesta that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues(governmental activities)from other functions
that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and chazges
(business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Village included general government, public
safety, transportation and leisure services. The business-type activiries of the Village included water,
stormwater and refuse and recycling.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 19-20 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Village of Tequesta, like other
state and local governments,uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the Village of Tequesta can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds,proprietary funds,and fiduciary funds.
Governneental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the govemment-wide financial statements. However, unlike the governxnent-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 government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the govemment-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 neaz-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.
5
Management's Discussion and Analysis 2016
The Village of Tequesta's governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-24 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The Village of Tequesta maintains one type of proprietary fund — enterprise funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The Village of Tequesta uses enterprise funds to account for its
water,stormwater,and refuse and recycling funds.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water fund and
the Stormwater Fund,major funds,as well as the Refuse and Recycling fund,a nonmajor fund.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25-27 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
Village. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statement because the resources
of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary

The largest portion of the Village's total net position (71.1%) 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(4.3%)represents resowces that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of$7,729,272 is unrestricted and may
be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village of Tequesta is able to report positive balances in all
categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

Financial Analysis 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 extemal party, the Village of
Tequesta itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for
particular purposes by the Village of Tequesta's Council.
At September 30, 2016 the Village of Tequesta's governmental funds reported total combined fund balances
of$4,768,525. Approximately $2,079,187 (44%) of the combined governmental fund balances is unassigned
and is available for spending at the Village's discretion. Approximately 25% is assigned with the largest
portion ($1 million)assigned for hurricane/disaster emergency. Approximately$1.3 million is restr-icted for a
particular purpose (i.e. debt service, Law Enforcement Trust funds, etc.). $174,985 is in nonspendable form
(i.e. inventories, prepaid items, etc.). Total combined fund balances have increased 11.14% from the prior
year with the largest increase ($265,996)reported in total restricted fund balances.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 2016
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 $4,310,262, an increase of$323,116 from the prior year. Unassigned fund balance of
$2,079,187, increased 3% from the prior year. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful
to compare both unassi�ed fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund
balance represents approximately 20% of fiscal year 2016 General Fund expenditures and total fund balance
represents approximately 41% of total expenditures. The Village of Tequesta adopted a policy to keep
unassigned fund balance at a minimum of two months (17%) of expenditures and unassigned fund balance
exceeds the required minimum.

As noted in the table above, total General Fund revenues increased $668,961 (6.5%). The two largest
increases were due to: 1) increased property values resulting in increased revenue from ad valorem taxes and
2) increased permit fees which is indicative of the cyclical nature of this revenue.

Total General fund expenditures increased from the prior year 3.5%. Only expenditures in public safety and
for capital outlay reported decreases. The decrease in capital outlay $(88,234) was mainly due to capital
projects funded and reported in the capital projects fund rather than the general fund. The decreases were
offset by increases in expenditures in the functions of: general government, transportation and leisure
services. The cost of debt increased 5.3% from the prior year due to a capital leases entered into during the

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
Amounts reported for govemmental acrivities in the statement of activities
(Page 20)are different because:
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds(Page 23) $ 477,973
Govemmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However,in the
statement of activities,the cost of those assets is allocated over their
esrimated 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 309,399
Depreciation expense (715,251)
Net Adjustment (405,852)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to
govemmental funds,while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.Neither
transacrion,however,has any effect on net position.
Capital lease (132,774)
Payment on notes payable 281,697
Payment on capital lease 146,351
295,274
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the
use of current financial resources and,therefore,are not reported as
expenditures in govemmental funds:
The details of the difference are as follows:
Compensated absences 15,388
Net OPEB obligarion (7,426)

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
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 governinent and any
component units (the Village of Tequesta 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 sepazately from
business-type activities,which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to extemal customers
for support.
B. Reporting Entity
The Village of Tequesta, Florida (the Village) is a municipal corporation organized in 1957
pursuant to Special Act 57-1915, Laws of Florida. The Village has a Council-Manager form of
government govemed by a five (5) member Council elected at large. Each year, the Council
appoints one of its members Mayor, to serve at the pleasure of Council for one year. The Village's
major operations include public safety (police, fire rescue/EMS, building and code enforcement),
transportation (streets and roads), leisure services (culture and recreation), water, stormwater,
refuse&recycling services and general and administrative.
The definition of the financial reporting entity is based upon the concept that elected officials are
accountable to their constituents for their actions. One of the objectives of financial reporting is to
provide users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the accountability of the elected
officials. The financial reporting entity consists of the Village,organizations for which the Village
is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the Village are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Village is financially accountable for a component
unit if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's goveming 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 30,2016.
C. Basis of Presentation—Government-Wide Financial Stateinents
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 governxnental funds while
business-types activities incorporate data from the Village's enterprise funds. Sepazate financial
statements aze provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.
30
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
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 taaces where the
amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other chazges
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 concemed.
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 aze offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that aze 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. TaJces and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
D. Basis of Presentation—Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the Village's funds, including its fiduciary
funds. Separate statements for each fund category—govemmental,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 aze
aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds
are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Fiduciary funds aze presented
apart from major and nonmajor funds.
The Village reports the following major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the Village's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources
of the general government,except those accounted for in another fund.
The 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.
31
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
During the course of operations,the Village has activity between funds for various purposes. Any
residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds (short-term) and
advances to/from other funds (long-term). While these balances are reported in fund financial
statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial
statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that
only the net amount is included as intemal balances in the governmental activities column.
Similazly, 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 intemal balances in the
business-type activities column.
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In
fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While
reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the
government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental
activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental
activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business-type activities are
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the business-type activities
column.
E. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement
focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured
such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the
timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements aze 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 ta�ces are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon
as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period. For this purpose, the Village considers revenues to be available if they are collected within
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. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in govemmental funds.
Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
32
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
Property ta�ces, 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 aze
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 driven grants
are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other
eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the
availability period for this revenue source(within 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 previously).
The pension trustJ'unds 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 aze 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 yeaz, except for a money market
fund which is reported at amortized cost; securities traded in the over-the�ounter market and listed
securities for which no sales were reported on that date are valued at the last reported bid price.
Securities without an established fair value are reported at estimated fair value. Purchases and
sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
F.Budgetary Information
1. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. Per established procedures
approved by the Village Council, the designated budget officer may approve a department head's
request to transfer appropriations between accounts, within a department. Although the Village
Council requires all inter�lepartment 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. Encuxnbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for
goods or services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and commitments). Encumbrance accounting is
utilized to the extent necessary to assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to
facilitate effective cash planning and control. While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse at
year end, valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under the executor
contract is expected in the next year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year's
budget pursuant to state regulations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
G.Assets,Liabilities,Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources,and Net Position/Fund Balance
1. Cash
The Village's cash is considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits.
2. Investments
Investments for the Village are reported at fair value, except for the position in the State Board of
Administration Investment Pool (SBA). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The SBA administers Florida PRIME and is govemed by Chapter 19-7 of
the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and 215 of the Florida Statutes. These rules
provide guidance and establish the policies and general operating procedures for the administration
of the Florida PRIME. Florida PRIME invests in a pool of investments whereby the Village owns
a share of the respective pool, not the underlying securities. GASB issued Statement No. 79.
Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants establishing criteria for an extemal
investment pool to qualify to report at amortized cost. Florida PRIME is exempt from the GASB
No. 72 fair value hierarchy disclosures and reports at amortized cost.
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 similaz items), aze reported in the applicable govemmental 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
govemmental activities), the Village chose not to capitalize infrastructure acquired in fiscal years
ending prior to September 30, 2004. As the Village constructs or acquires additional capital assets
each period they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal
maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not
increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or increase its estimated useful life. Donated capita.l
assets are recorded at their acquisition value at the date of donation.
34
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
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 govemment-wide
financial statements. There was no interest capitalized in 2016.
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 yeazs
5.Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outJlows
of resources. This sepazate 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 inflows
of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time. The Village has two types of items that qualify for reporting in this category; 1)
Deferred inflows related to pensions and; 2) defened 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 before unrestricted net position is applied.
7. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to
calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance in
35
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in
which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village's policy to consider restricted
fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund
balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same
purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned
fund balance is applied last.
S. Fund Balance Policies
The Village classifies fund balance in accordance with GASB Statement No.54 Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definition. This statement enhances the usefulness of
fund balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more
consistently applied and by clarifying the existing governmental fund type definitions. In the fund
financial statements, governmental funds report classifications that comprise a hierazchy based
primarily on the extent to which the Village is bound to honor constrains of the specific purposes
for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
The Village reports the following fund classifications:
Nonspendable fund balance. Nonspendable fund balance aze amounts that can not be spent
because they are either not in spendable form such as inventory or legally or contractually required
to be maintained intact such as a perpetual trust.
Restricted fund balanc� Restricted fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the
imposition extemally by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governmental agencies
or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance. Those amounts can only be used for specific purposes determined by a
formal action of the governmenYs highest level of decision-mak.ing authority. The Village Council
is the highest level of decision-making authority for the Village that can, by adoption of an
ordinance or resolution equally binding and of equal decision-making authority,prior to the end of
the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance or
resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance or
resolution)to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned fund balance. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be
used by the Village for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed.
The Village Council (Council) has, by adopting a fund balance policy, authorized the Village
Manager and/or the Finance Director to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund
balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and
appropriations in the subsequent year's appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments
generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be
taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is
essential to either remove or revise a commitment.
Unassigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance represents fund balance that bas not been
assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific
purposes within the general fund.
36
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
H.Revenues and Ezpenditures/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 intemally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
2.Property Taxes
Property tax collections aze govemed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. Property taxes are based
on assessed property value at January 1 St as determined by the Palm Beach County Property
Appraiser. The Village sets the property tax millage rate in September. The Palm Beach County
Ta�c 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 yeaz 2016 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
lst. The owner of a tax certificate may at any time after taxes have been delinquent (April 1), for
two yeazs, 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 Ta�c 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 pernuts 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.
37
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
4. Proprietary Funds Operating and Non-Operating Revenues and Ezpenses
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
aze 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 of resources and liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
J.Implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements
The Village adopted GASB Statement No.72 Fair value Measurement and Applications for the
fiscal year ended September 30,2016. GASB No.72 requires to use of valuation technics which aze
appropriate under the circumstances and are either a market approach, a cost approach or income
approach. GASB No.72 establishes a hierarchy of inputs to measure fair value consisting of three
levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2
inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, and typically
reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. GASB No.72 also contains note disclosure requirements regarding the hierarchy
of valuation inputs and techniques that was used for the fair value measurements. The adoption of
GASB No.72 is reflected in Note 3.
GASB Statement No.79 Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants, addresses
accounting and financial reporting for certain extemal investment pools and pool participants.
Specifically, it establishes criteria for an extemal investment pool to qualify for making the
election to measure all of its investments at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. An
external investment pool qualifies for that reporting if it meets all of the applicable criteria
established in this Statement. The specific criteria address (1) how the extemal investment pool
transacts with participants; (2) requirements for portfolio maturity, quality, diversification, and
liquidity; and (3) calculation and requirements of a shadow price. Significant noncompliance
prevents the extemal investment pool from measuring all of its investments at amortized cost for
financial reporting purposes. Professional judgment is required to deternune if instances of
noncompliance with the criteria established by this Statement during the reporting period,
individually or in the aggregate, were significant. Additional note disclosure is reflected in Note
3B.

Note 3—Detailed Notes on All Activities and Funds
A. Cash Deposits with Financial Institution
Custodial credit risk-deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure,the government's deposits may not be returned to it.All of the Village's deposits are held in
qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes,Chapter 280,Florida Security for
Public Deposits Act. Under the Act, every qualified public depository shall deposit with the
Treasurer eligible collateral of the depository to be held subject to his or her order. The pledging
level may range from 25% to 200% of the average monthly balance of public deposits depending
upon the depository's financial condition and establishment period.All collateral must be deposited
with an approved financial institution. Any potential losses to public depositors are covered by
applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessments
against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default. At
September 30, 2016, 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 Boazd of Administration Investment Pool, any intergovernmental investment
pools authorized pursuant to Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, SEC registered money mazket
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. govemment, 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 Boazd of Administration(SBA)administers the Florida PRIME investment pool which is
governed by Chapter 19-7 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and 215 of the
Florida Statutes. The Florida PRIME is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission(SEC). As a participant,the Village invests in a pool of investments owning a share of
the pool, not the underlying securities. The investments in the Florida PRIME are reported at
amortized cost and not insured by FDIC or any other governmental agency.
GASB issued Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pool and Pool participants
establishing criteria for an extemal investment pool to qualify to report at amortized cost. Florida
PRIME is exempt from the GASB No. 72 fair value hierarchy disclosures and reports at amortized
cost.

Interest Rate Risk— The Village does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment
maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest
rates nor do they have any investrnents that are subject to interest rate risk.
Credit Risk-The Village does not have a written investment policy and,therefore, follows Florida
Statue 218.415(17). The Village invests surplus funds in the State Boazd of Administration
Investment Pool. The Florida PRIME is rated by Standard and Poor's. The current rating is AAAm.
Concentration of Credit Risk—Disclosure is required when the percentage of investments is 5%or
more in any one issuer. At September 30, 2016, the Village only invests in an extemal investment
pool and therefore is not subject to concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk - The risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party, 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.

payment at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the Executive Director may, in
good faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of the
trust fund, for 48 hours limit contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that the
Board can invest moneys entrusted to it in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action must
be immediately disclosed to all participants, the Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing
Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government Advisory
Council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting as soon as pra.cticable from the time the
Executive Director has instituted such measures and review the necessity of those measures. If the

Fair Value Hierarchy
The Plan categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierazchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on valuation input used to
measure the fair value of an asset:
Level 1 -investments reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets;
Level 2 - investments reflect prices that are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly
observable for an asset(including quoted prices for similar assets), which may include
inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
Leve13 -investments reflect prices based upon unobservable inputs for an asset.
The investment pricing transparency deternunes the category within the hierarchy and should not
be observed at the investment risk. The custodian bank's (primary extemal pricing vendors) quoted
prices were used to determine level classification based on the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and equity securities classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierazchy are valued using quoted
prices at September 30, 2016 (or the most recent mazket close date if the markets are closed on
September 30) in active markets. This includes common stock, equity mutual funds and fixed
income funds.
Debt securities are valued using pricing inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants
would use to price an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting equity(Leve12). This includes U.S. Treasury bonds and notes,
U.S. agencies, mortgage backed securities, municipal bonds and corporate obligations, including
asset backed securities.
The Real Estate Fund - this fund enters in real estate partnerships with various joint venture
partners. Fair value represents the Fund's share of the net asset value of the investment. The fund
had no outstanding commitments.

Interest Rate Risk - the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment in debt securities. Generally, the longer the time to maturity the greater the exposure.
The Plan does not have a formal policy relating to interest rate risk,however;
• The established performance objectives require investment maturities to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they become due.
• At September 30, 2016, there were no direct investrnents 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 investments must hold a rating in one of the four highest classifications by a
major rating service.
• Equities must be traded on a national exchange.
• Money market investments must hold a minimum rating of Standard & Poor's A1 or
Moody's P 1.
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:
45
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
• Limiting investments in common stock,capital stock or convertible stock of any one
issuing company or aggregate of any one issuing company to 5%of the outstanding capital
stock of the company.
• Limiting the value of corporate bonds issued by any single corporation to not more than 5%
of the total fund.
• Limiting investments in corporate common stock and convertible bonds(not to exceed 70%
of the fund assets at fair value). Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-government
entities are limited to 15%of the fixed income portfolio.
• Limiting investments in foreign securities (not to exceed 25% of the value at cost of the
fund).
Custodia!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 aze made on a"delivery vs.
paymentJ basis to ensure that the custodian will have the security or money, as appropriate,
in hand at the conclusion of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Risk- is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in currency
exchange rates. Exposure to foreign currency risk is low as:
• Foreign investments are through ADR's (shares listed in the U.S.), mutual funds (registered
in the U.S.), or Yankee bonds (denominated in U.S. dollars should not to exceed 5% of total
fund).
• The investment policy pernuts a maximum of 25% of the fair value of the fund securities to
be invested in foreign securities.
• At September 30, 2016, 19.49% of the fair value of the fund was invested in foreign
securities.
• All the intemational securities are denominated in U.S. dollars. There is no foreign currency
risk.
Money Weighted Rate of Return and Target A[location
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and 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 7.69% and 0.38 respectively. The money-weighted rate of
return expresses investment performance, net of investment manager and consultant expenses
adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
The long-term expected rate of retum 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 retum by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

SensiNvity of t6e Net Pension Liability(Asset)to Changes in the Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.50% as of September 30, 3016 and 2015 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 was applied to all periods of projected benefit payxnents to deternune the total pension
liability.

G. Other Postemployment Benefit(OPEB) Obligations
�llage of Tequesta's Other Postemployment Bene,jts Plan
Plan Description. The Village provides an optional single-employer defined benefit
post�mployment healthcaze 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 aze the legal authority
for the plan. The plan has no assets and does not issue a separate financial report.
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 healthcaze
provider the same health plan, at the same group rates as are chazged 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 30,2016 is as follows:

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 tazget 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 30,2016 is as follows:
Interfund Transfers
Transfers In
Capital Law
Improvement Enforcement
Transfers Out Fund Trust Fund Total
General Fund(1) $ 316,800 $ - $ 316,800
General Fund(2) - 50,000 50,000
Total Interfund Transfers $ 316,800 $ 50,000 $ 366,800
(1)Transfer is to fund road improvements.
(2)Retum of restricted funds to the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
NOTE TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2016
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 aze legally enacted through passage of a resolution. Although the Village
Council requires all inter-departrnent 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 original budget is the budget in place at the start of the fiscal year, which includes all of
the following
The budget passed by the Village Council
+Subsequent amendments made Urior to the start of the fiscal year
+Cariyovers from the previous vear(encumbrances)
=0riginal budget
The�nal budget includes all adjustments to the budget applicable to the fiscal year, even if
they take place after the close of the fiscal yeaz.
During the year, total supplemental appropriations of $180,559 were adopted for the
General Fund. Appropriations aze legally controlled at the fund level and expenditures may
not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at that level.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds aze used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and
therefore cannot be used to support the government's own programs. Pension trust funds are
fiduciary funds that are used to report resources required to be held in trust for the members and
beneficiaries of defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, other post-employment
benefit plans, or other employee benefit plans. The Village accounts for two defined benefit
plans (Public Safety reports separate trust funds for Police Officers and Firefighters) and a
separate fund is reported for each individual trust fund. The three trust funds are as follows:
Firefighters' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources and
for contributions and benefits of the firefighter employees.
Police Officers' Pension Trust Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources
and for contributions and benefits of the police employees 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 taxes,the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values.
Applicable percentages were estimated by detecmining the portion of the Village taxable assessed value and dividing it by the PBC taxeble
assessed value. (Data provided by the PBC Property Appraiser's Office)
Overlapping govemments aze 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 t6at is bome by the residents and businesses of the V illage of
Tequesta. This process recognizes that,when considering the Village's ability to issue and repay long-te[m debt,the entire debt burden
bome by the residenu and businesses should be taken into account. However,this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and
therefore respoasible for repaying t6e 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 GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta,Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Tequesta (the Village), as of and for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 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 28,2017.
Internal Control over Financia!Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village's
intemal control over financial reporting (intemal 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
intemal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village's
intemal 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 rimely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in intemal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in intemal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with govemance.
Our consideration of intemal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in intemal 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, regularions, 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 aze 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 tesring of intemal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Village's intemal 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
intemal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE PURSUANT TO
SECTION 218.415 FLORIDA STATUTES
To The Honorable Mayor,Village Council and Village Manager
Village of Tequesta,Florida
We have examined the Village of Tequesta's (the Village) compliance with Section 218.415
Florida Statutes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. Management is responsible for the
Village's compliance with the specified requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Village's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standazds require that we plan and
perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Village complied, in
all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced above. An examination involves
performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether the Village complied with the specified
requirements. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment,
including an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or enor.
We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable
basis for ow opinion.
