NEW TOY - v~ ?I Pwce t9 Village Managers Message Continued From Page 18 Subsequently we have been able to enjoy salary in- creases, equipment replacements and normal operation and maintenance increases and still carry this level of debt without.a millage rate increase. This is predicated on the Village's "capacity to borrow". The upside of all this debt is we now have wonderful fa- cilities to use for the benefit of the citizens. When the auditors conduct the audit for the Village the debt obvi- ously gets accounted for; some questions are raised re- garding the impact on the Village's balance sheet. The response is the balance sheet begins to look fairly,posi- tive because the buildings themselves carry value and those capital improvements get picked up on the asset and liability balance sheets. Although we have incurred additional debt we also have incurred additional assets. which get calculated into the balance sheet. Those as- sets cant' an appreciation over a period of years that re- flects positively toward the Village's retained earnings (retained earnings is about as close to a definition of "net profit" that we aze allowed to use in the public sector). The net result is we get to place the value of the new fa- cilities 'into the balance sheet which offsets the annual payments for the debt.incurred. Hopefully this has enlighten you to the extent of where we stand with our current financial structure: This article is dedicated only to the general fund. We will discuss the Country Club Fund in a future article. As always, should you have questions or want to discuss the matter in more detail please feel free to call either the Finance Director's office at 841-3360 or the Village Manager's. office at 841-3380 and we will be happy to discuss with you in more detail the finances or specifically our debt management.

Pw6[ 18 Village Manager's Message 841-3380 Dennis W. Kelly, Village Manager Over the past five to seven years the Village has been ag- gressively improving the Village's infrastmcture and fa- cilities either through new construction or through renova- tion of existing facilities. The first set of improvements started in 1998 upon completion of the ball fields at the Community Center. Following that project the Village built the Anchorage Park Activities building on South An- chorage Drive. The next major project that we completed was the Public Safety Building on U. S. One. That build- ing was completed in 1999 and has proved to be an ex- traordinarily positive asset to the functioning of the North Palm Beach Public Safety Department. Finally, in 1999 we completed and implemented our Information Systems Plan. This brought every computer in the Village organi- zation, along with some new purchases, into a cohesive, integrated system with practically every computer having both Internet and Intranet capabilities. There aze four projects that are currently funded (i.e. the financing has been completed and in place) but the pro- jects aze in their infancy stage and are just now getting off the ground. The more advanced project is the canal dredging that is currently taking place on the North Palm Beach waterway. The spoil is being directed to a large filtering basin located at the old Seacoast Utility Plant at Anchorage Park. Village Hall is scheduled for a one hun- dred percent renovation to the interior. This project is in the architectural stage with the architect completing the construction drawings within the next few weeks. Once the construction drawings are completed they will be the base documents for the bids which will then be is- sued to contractors. Once awarded the construction should be completed by the end of summer or fall of 2002. An- other project that we have committed finances to is the Public Safety North Sub-Station north of Parker Bridge to service the Old Part Cove, Gemini, and Governors Point condominium areas around the Crystal Tree Plaza. The north sub-station is currently in the land acquisition stage. A final project in which financing has been set aside is the expansion of Anchorage Park parking to be located basi- cally behind the new Anchorage Park building to alleviate some of the parking that fronts on South Anchorage Drive and the tot lot. It will not be started until the dredging project is completed. The purpose of this article is to convey to you that al- though we have made these wonderful improvements to the Village over the past five to seven years there has been a cost accompanying these improvements. THE VILLAGE N E W S L E T T E R NOVEMBER 2 O O 1 We borrowed a sum of money and it is important that you as citizens be fully informed as to what the cost of that ~ money has been. The following is a summary of the pro- ~~ jects and the amount of money borrowed in order to com- plete them: • Information System Master Plan - $600,000.00 • Public Safety Building, Anchorage Park Activities Building, Community Center Ballfield and Osborne Pazk Concession stand - $6 million • Village Hall renovation $1.2 million • Canal dredging $1.4 million • North Sub-station (property acquisition) $93,500.00 (seed money) • Anchorage Park parking $93,500.00 (seed money) Along with these projects and the money borrowed comes the annual payments on the various financings. The $600,000.00 for the Information System Master Plan is a five-year loan with an estimated annual payment of $134,000.00. The $6 million for the Public Safety build- ing, Anchorage Park and ball fields, etc. is a twenty-yeaz note from August 1997 through August of 2017 with an estimated annual payment of $545,000.00. The Village Hall renovation canal dredging, north sub-station and Anchorage Pazk parking along with $13,000.00 in contin- gency funds amounts to $2.8 million. That was borrowed on a ten-year note with estimated annual payments of $350,000.00. In 1996, before we started these projects, our annual debt payment had been reduced to zero. Over the next five to seven years, as we completed these projects and borrowed the money for the future projects, our annual debt pay- ment increased steadily to today's annual payment of $1,029,000.00. That debt payment will start reducing af- ter March of 2004 when the first small loan of $600,000.00 gets paid off. By the year 2011 it will reduce even more as a result of [he payoff of the $2.8 million and of course we will ride the debt for the Public Safety build- ing and the Anchorage Park building, etc. until 2017. When municipalities borrow money they do it on a very calculated basis predicated on what they view as their "capacity to borrow". Some cities have more capacity than others depending on their property values and their tax base. Because of the recent spurt in growth in the Vil- lage, especially in high valued properties, we have been able to hold the millage rate at much the same number because of the advent of these new values. This yeaz we were able to reduce the millage rate by a tenth of a mill.

TOUR DE FORCE A Ride for Remembrance The 5`h Annual Tour de Force Bicycle Ride November 5°i -November 9~ The 2001 Tour de Force police chazity bicycle ride is set to kick off November 5'h. This year's tour will traverse from the North Miami Beach Police Department to the Ciry of Alta- monte Springs. The Tour is a 5-day ride that averages ap- proximately 50-55 miles each day at a moderate pace (IS-17 mph) and will pass through 421aw enforcement jurisdictions. The tour is a fully supported ride with police escorts provided by the Florida Highway Patrol, Sheriffs Departments and local Police Agencies throughout the state. This is an awareness ride-not a race! Breaks are scheduled approximately every 12- 13 miles and the ride is de- signed to accommodate both inexperienced riders and sea- soned cyclists. Last year over 600 law enforcement personnel from across the state partici- pated with 55 riders completing the entire 270-mile trek to the Orange County Sheriffs Office. The inaugural 1997 Tour was dedicated to Trooper Robert Smith who was killed in the line of duty by a dnudc driver. The Tour has grown in size each year and we aze proud to an- nounce that as anon-profit charity organization, we have raised over $34,000.00 for families of fallen officers and law enforcement related organizations. This yeaz's tour will benefit the families of all fallen Florida Law Enforcement Officers that were lost in the line of duty during 2001. Our goal is to raise more than the $15,900.00, which was distributed to three families last year. The Tour de Force riders will meet the Centtal Florida Tour de Force riders on November 9'h in Titusville and complete the final stage to- gether. The citizens, media and various law enforcement departments throughout the state have supported the ride over the past four years' with great enthusiasm. If you would like to help sponsor this event through a donation or would be interested in riding, please contact Officer Sonja Heavey at 841-3300. Thank you.

This free seminar will be held on Tuesday, November 6th beginning at 7:00 PM at the North Palm Beach Public Safety Department, 560 U. S. Highway #1, in North Palm Beach. The seminar "Seniors Against Crime" will feature guest speaker Buck Kinnard along with Officer Sonja Heavey, Crime Prevention Specialist with the North Palm Beach Public Safety Department. Mr. Kinnard is a former Palm Beach County coordinator for Seniors vs. Crime sponsored by the office of the Attorney General. He will be address- ing fraud and other safety issues for seniors. Crime Pre- vention Officer Sonja Heavey will be instructing partici- pants in home security. Seating is limited for this free seminar and you we encour- aged to call 561-841-3300 to make a reservation. DON'T MISS THIS SEMINAR DESIGNED WITH . YOUR SAFETY IN MIND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES The response to the September 11th tragedy by the nations health departrnents has been very reasswing. A strong and flexible public health infrastmctwe is the best defense against any dis- ease outbreak-natwally or intentionally caused. However, Sep- tember 11th has caused us to look a[ "preparedness" in a new way, including prepazedness for biotetrorism. In an effort to pro- vide current and correct information we have included below questions and answers from the Center for Disease Control in relation to issues from the public and how these concerns should be addressed. Additional information is available at the CDC web page at www.bt.cdc.gov. Frequently Asked Questions Q) What should I know about smallpox? Smallpox. Vaccination is not recommended and the vaccine is ~~ not available to health providers or the public. In the absence of I a confirmed case of smallpox anywhere in the world, there is no need to be vaccinated against smallpox. There also can be severe side effects to the smallpox vaccine, which is another reason we do not recommend vaccination In the event of an outbreak, the CDC has clear guidelines to swiftly provide vaccine to people exposed to this disease. The vaccine is secwely stored for use in the case of an outbreak. In addition, Secretary of Health and Hu- man Services Tommy Thompson recently aanounced plans to accelerate production of a new smallpox vaccine. THE V I ~LwOE N E W SLETTE R' NOVEMBER 2 0 0 1 Q) What should I know about anthrax? Anthraz Ow cowse of action for preventing anthrax after exposwe in thecivilian population would be with antibiotics. Vaccination is not recommended, and the vaccine is not avail- able to health caze providers or the general public. We do not recommend that physicians prescribe antibiotics for anthrax at this time. We currently have enough antibiotics [o prevent the disease in 2 million persons exposed to anthrax, therefore we could rapidly get preventive medicine to those who maybe affected by this disease, which cannot be transmitted between people. Q) What should I do [o be prepared? Preparedness We continue to heaz stories of the public buy- ing gas masks and hoarding medicine in anticipation of a pos- sible bio[errorist or chemical attack. We do not recommend either. As Secretary Thompson said recently, people should no[ be scazed into thinking they need a gas mask. In the event of a public health emergency, local and state health depart- ments will inform the public about the actions individuals need to take. Travel Safety Due to the terrorist attacks in September, air travel has de- clined, but with [he coming holiday travel season, it is ex- pected that travel volume will rebound to near normal levels. Please take note of the following travel tips: AIRPORT THEFTS: With the suspension of cwbside check-in at some airports, it will be difficult to maintain con- trol over your luggage and personal items. Call in advance to determine if cwbside service is available, and if not, ask the service representative what assistance is available for passen- gers arriving with special needs or large amounts of luggage. While passing through security screening, be aware of people around you, as thieves will take advantage of any distraction on yow part [o remove yow items from the screening device. Be swe [o allow extra time for security screening and paper- work at check in. Airlines are recommending [hat passengers arrive at least 2 hows before the departure time of your flight. HOTEL ROOM SAFETY: Don't answer the door without verifying whom it is. If you are not expecting a guest, and do not know the person at the door, contact the front desk for as- sistance. When returning to yow room for the evening, use the main entrance and not an auxiliary entrance, as criminals target these entrances. Close the door secwely, and use all locking devices. Check all sliding glass doors and other win- dows, and be swe that they are locked. Don't display yow guest room~keys, or give. out yow room number. Don't draw attention to yowself by flashing cash, or wearing obviously expensive jewelry. Use the room safe or the hotel safe de- posit box to store valuables. Do not leave valuables in yow unoccupied room, or in yow vehicle. Report any suspicious activity to the Cont desk immediately. ~+ ~' ( ~~ PAGE 1 3 T H E VILLAGE N E W S L E T T E R N O V E M B E R 2 0 0 1 RECREATION NEWS: say-3388 VILLAGE FITNESS RUN & WALK SATURDAY NOVEMBER 10`b, 2001 SK RACE & WALK 7:30 AM KH)'S 1K RACE 8:45 AM On Satwday, November l0a', Advantage Bank and the Village of North Palm Beach Recreation Departrnent will present the 2°a An- nual Village Fitness Run & Walk, a SK race and walk which will be followed by the Kid's 1K, a 1K race for elementary school age children.

Phase I dredge material will be pumped in an underwater pipeline from a bazge-mounted dredge to a spoil site at Anchorage Pazk. After being allowed to dry, the j dredge material will be tracked away. As the dredge moves around the Village, boaters might experience minor inconvenieces. The waterways being dredged should be accessable at all times. Each typical dead end lagoon should take approximately one week to complete. Floating curtains will be located a[ canal entrances to control the rabidity generated neaz the dredge operation. The dredge contractor can temporialy remove the currains, on request, in order to allow boats to enter or exit a canal. Boaters needing access in and out of the canals should make contact with the dredge operator by hailing, honlang or watever other means seems appropriate. Curtains will be opened when the dredge is not opernting. Boaters should be mindful) of the dredge pipeline laying on the canal bottom (particulazly at low tide and azound azeas known to be shallow). Bouys will mark the pipe line location. Use caution and maintain idle speed. The typical dredge azea will restore a 30 foot wide channel to the original depth of -6.8 below mean low water. Boats, docks and mooring posts should not be affected during the operation. Due to pemtitting and liability concerns, the dredge contractor aavlt noe bs allowed to contract additional dredge work individually with property owners. The contractor expects to start hauling the dredge material by truck from Anchorage Pazk beginning around December 1st. The route will be along South Anchorage Drive between Anchorage Pazk and US #1. Please call the Department of Public Services at 691-3440 with any questions or complaints.
