July 26, 2012 The Honorable Mayor and Village Council Village of North Palm Beach North Palm Beach, Florida 33408
RE: Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Annual Budget
To Honorable Village Mayor and Council, I am pleased to share this Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Annual Budget for the Village of North Palm Beach. This budget reflects a plan to maintain and improve service to our Village residents for the coming fiscal year. The budget allocates scarce resources among departments providing financial resources that continue Village improvements. Department management has prepared an ambitious list of Village projects and operational improvements that follow guidelines established by Council’s goals and objectives. This budget document identifies broad plans, operational responsibilities and financial guidance that will continue Village improvements throughout the coming year. Budget Format
The Administration has taken steps to make this a user-friendly budget document. This budget provides a common source of meaningful information for many different users. The budget depicts our Village managerial and oversight responsibilities as outlined by the Administration’s department organizational structure (organizational
charts). This managerial structure
assigns operating and oversight responsibilities among Village departmental areas. The budget’s organization charts incorporate all staffing positions recommended by the Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan for each Department (the Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan is included under a separate tab within this budget document).
Village Departments have included a detailed discussion of their individual goals, operational service, program improvements, and staffing and capital project expenditures for their respective areas. This document is intended to make our Village budget process more meaningful to officials, the Administration / Management staff and to our residents. With our ongoing efforts to maintain an open exchange of municipal information, understanding how Village resources are received and expended is of great importance. As part of our continuing effort to give access to all citizens, the Village Administration will place this budget document on the Village website (www.village-npb.org
).
Budget Goals
The Village obtains a major portion of its annual general fund financial resources (58.59%) from ad valorem property taxes. The Village does not assess many of the traditional taxes that other municipalities use for generating revenue. Rather, it primarily depends on ad valorem taxes to fund services. As a result, residents are not assessed additional taxes for utility, solid waste, storm water, or fire rescue. The preparation of this budget document continues to be challenging based on recent property tax reform legislation and the unprecedented devaluation of real property here in the Village. The dire economic condition of the World market has equally exacerbated dwindling revenues. The following is a brief synopsis of those legislative reform bills that have impacted the Village’s budget:
HB 1B:
Which was enacted in FY 2007/2008 limits the authority of local governments to levy ad valorem taxes for the budget years 2007/2008 and beyond. For the FY2008/2009 budget and beyond, ad valorem taxes will be capped at the rolled back rate plus an adjustment based on the growth of the per capita personal income.
Amendment One:
In FY 2007/2008 this amendment increased the homestead exemption from $25,000 to $50,000 (for property values $50,000-$75,000), except for school district taxes. Amendment One also allows property owners to transfer (make portable) up to $500,000 of their Save Our Homes benefits to their next homestead when they move within the state.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 10 of 283
With respect to non-homestead property, Amendment One limits (caps) the annual increase in assessed value for non-homestead property to ten percent, except from school district taxes. The amendment also provides a $25,000 exemption for tangible personal property.
The FY 2012/2013 budget was developed collaboratively with assistance from a wide array of the Village supervision and staff. This collaborative effort allowed the Administration to consider past and current practices and procedures. In partnership with our Village staff, opportunities were identified for new and improved services, programs, and projects. During this review, the Administration held several discussions with members of our Village team to consider and develop enhanced services and projects for the coming fiscal year. Many of these projects are summarized in the “General Fund Expenses” section following this narrative. The details of our Department operating plans, projects and improvements may be found in each respective Department’s budget narrative. Using a collaborative budget preparation approach, the Administration maintained a balanced focus between high quality resident service, operating effectiveness and fiscal responsibility. In setting goals during the budget planning process, our staff team maintained an awareness of balancing our many levels of municipal service with our valuable and scarce Village financial resources. In all cases, the Administration placed the highest priority on services that are most valued by our residents – with a commitment to provide these in an effective and efficient manner. Our budgetary emphasis centers on the Council’s budgetary goals:
1.
Protect the Financial Integrity of the Village in a Difficult Economic Environment a.
Seek alternative sources of funds including grants.
b.
Seek to influence Florida legislature in areas of unfunded mandates, taxation and revenue sharing.

Budget Objectives
A general listing of our Village’s annual budget Objectives are reflected in the following bullets. From a financial viewpoint, the Village’s gross taxable property values have decreased this year - to $1,486,295,612 (valued as of July 2012). This is a decrease of $8,987,382 or 0.66% from last year. The following budget Objectives have been developed by the Administration and are reflected in this Budget:
Provide sufficient funding to maintain the Village infrastructure, roadways and facility maintenance.
Ensure that Village equipment is replaced in a timely and consistent fashion allowing staff to achieve and maintain high levels of quality and service.
Evaluate current staffing levels in all Village Departments to ensure the best and economically provided for community service.
Explore “outsourcing” opportunities of service related components within the respective departments as a cost savings measure.
Maintain a balanced budget while providing for needed non-recurring capital project and equipment expenditures.
The Village’s Unassigned Fund balance is viewed by the Administration as a barometer of Village financial st
ability. Annual capital appropriations
in this budget give the Council some latitude of choice or deferral in the event of prolonged or unforeseen economic duress. The Administration encourages establishing a minimum designation of Village General Fund Balance or core investments equal to approximately 35% to provide an important and meaningful financial balance that would be available in the event of unforeseen events. The General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance at September 30, 2011 is $10.68 million, which represents 58% of the Fiscal Year 2012/13 General Fund Budget.
Note: The actual fund
balances for fiscal year 2011-2012 will be available upon completion of the Village’s annual audit in early 2013.
The Village’s primary investment objective, in priority order of investment activities, shall be: safety; principal liquidity; and the maximizing of investment income. The Village’s investment portfolio will be broken into two primary categories, Operating and Core investments. The Village Administration will maintain local, liquid funds equal to a minimum of 1/12 of the adopted budget. Administration will follow established investment strategies in accordance with the prevailing investment policy of the Village. The Administration has continued to refine and develop the Village’s organizational structure to help shape and focus staff’s responsiveness, accomplishments, training, supervision, and performance. The Administration notes the significant cost of Village employee compensation and benefits (accounting for roughly 72% of the Village General Fund budget).

Budget Highlights:
The FY 2012/2013 budget reflects a renewed commitment and predictable funding for community infrastructure in areas such as roadways, neighborhood sidewalks and lighting, public buildings, and park facilities. The Community Development Department continues to meet the unending demands of our Village’s business and neighborhood redevelopment. Community Development will continue to concentrate staff resources in areas of construction, permitting, licensing, and community planning while reinforcing improvements in customer service. The continuing analysis and pursuit of annexation opportunities, zoning and redevelopment enhancements and improvement of our business and development regulations is also a function of the Community Development Department. This Department will better align our Village with statutory development guidelines and help to meet steadily growing expectations of homeowners and developers. The Parks and Recreation Department continues to enhance programs to all age groups and at each of the six facilities. The newly redeveloped Anchorage Park will host a variety of events in this upcoming year to include: movies in the park; organized volleyball leagues; the Village’s annual fishing tournament; and Heritage day.
The parks continue to be maintained by an outside service, which has been funded under the “contractual services” line. The Public Works Department is planning to continue oversight and maintenance of Village sanitation, infrastructure, streets, facilities, equipment, and roadways. This Department will focus on and play a major role in maintaining and expanding our focus on community appearance during the coming year. Roadway appearance will be emphasized with improved median and swale plantings. It should be noted that the direct cost of our Village backdoor waste pick-up service is substantial – the annual costs of Village solid waste this year is $1,472,854 – or approximately 1.04 mils of the Village’s 7.67 ad valorem millage rate. The Administration recommends Council’s continued discussion as to the possibility of funding Village solid waste service costs through annual fee assessment (similar to the County’s and other surrounding cities).
A solid waste assessment fee would allow North Palm Beach to reduce its ad valorem millage rate substantially – making the Village ad valorem rate more comparable with adjacent unincorporated County areas. The Police Department has continued improvements in neighborhood outreach, crime suppression and crime clearances. For the second consecutive rating period (3 years), the Village’s Police Department received the coveted CALEA National Accreditation for law enforcement agencies. The Village Administration recommends Council awareness of the
opportunity and choice for possibly funding Village fire costs through an annual non-ad valorem assessment (similar to the County’s fire service assessment). A fire assessment fee would allow North Palm Beach to reduce our ad valorem millage rate – making the Village ad valorem rate more comparable with adjacent unincorporated areas.
Through diligent efforts of Counc
il and staff, the Country Club
finances have stabilized, from the standpoint of both golf and restaurant operations. Village Administration will continue to evaluate both financial and operational aspects of this facility
with an aim toward delivering high
quality service and an enjoyable
recreation experience. For the coming year, Administration will
look to the future and develop a concept for the clubhouse and an associated conceptual design for facility enhancements. The goal is to create a vision for the future, which will spark dialogue among residents, the Council, and staff in formulating a plan for
improving the club facility and by extension, improving the experience for residents who use the facility. The Administration continues with implementation of an optical records storage system, which will be an ongoing project. This system will be used by all Village operating departments (Community Development, Finance, Human Resources, and Country Club). Optical record storage systems are now widely used by governments and meet all State record storage requirements. This allows the Village to transition, over time, from paper records to optically stored records. Optical storage permits digital “look up” of any optical record “at will” through the convenience of a simple computer search.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 13 of 283
Optical storage systems are commonly used by many local governments and the cost is relatively modest when considering the time-savings and customer service improvements they offer. The Village’s operating millage rate would increase to 7.67 mils. This millage rate reflects an increase in tax revenues of $925,609 or 9.35% when compared to the current fiscal year. There is a minimal increase of $195,157 or 4.87% in the Village’s operating budget from
that of this current year
. The Village has no outstanding general
obligation bond debt; therefore, the combined total millage rate of the Village would equal 7.67 mils. Much of our Administration’s
budget deliberations reflect judgment “trade-offs” between increasing costs, desired service improvements and the need for capital items.
Personnel Staffing and Benefits
Village Administration will devote a great deal of attention to evaluating the Pay Plan and employee benefits to ensure that they are current and reflect the most cost effective approach to administering the labor component of the budget. Additionally, the Village will apply more resources toward training staff, in order to make sure employees are equipped with the tools they need to offer exemplary service. Succession planning will be initiated to encourage staff to develop their skills and capabilities in preparation for growth within the organization.
The FY 2012/2013 budget reflects recommendations and plans of the Administration’s Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan (see separate tab in this budget document). The Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan reflects continued position eliminations, re-
classifications or name changes in both the General Fund and the Country Club budget with a significant overall cost savings. There are no personnel changes being recommended this year that would affect a significant number of employees as most of those types of personnel changes have been made in prior years; however, there are isolated personnel changes recommended to provide for improvements to our Village management organization structure. Agency-wide workforce reduction strategies have been explored and recommended and all Village departments have been impacted to some degree. This workforce reduction strategy has been realized
through normal personnel attrition, employee buyouts, and position restructuring to include employee layoffs. The Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan provides for no
market wage adjustment for FY 2012/2013 but does provide for an annual “pay for performance” staff merit raise (in accordance with those applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements). The Administration continues to utilize the customary merit scale of between 0% - 5% based on performance. Retirement contribution levels for the General Employee “Defined Benefit” Retirement Plan will increase from 19.57% to 19.86% in the coming year while employee contributions remain at 6%. Retirement rates for Police and Fire will increase from 20.03% to 20.22% while employee contributions are planned to remain at a level of 2%. The Village’s required contribution for the “Defined Contribution” plan, available through ICMA-RC, is fixed at 15% with a required 3, 5, 10 or 15% contribution by the participating employee. FPE and Police & Fire pension matters are subject to the Village’s collective bargaining negotiations – with all three contracts expiring on September 30, 2013.
Debt Administration
The Village, in FY 2009/10, paid-off its last remaining General Fund debt obligation and is now debt-free. This move was made possible through cost saving measures to include: workforce reduction strategies; and the utilization of the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance. In the Country Club Enterprise Fund, loan repayments are reflected as appropriate and have been provided for in this budget as required by each existing Village loan agreement.
Budget Conclusion
The FY 2012/2013 Budget reflects continued improvement to citizen services, public safety, public facility maintenance, and emphasizes improved community appearance and financial stability. The budget plan promotes the administration of the Village in an effective, efficient manner. Most importantly, the budget provides necessary resources for the Village of North Palm Beach to maintain and further improve services to our 13,000 residents.

Several operating and capital improvement project highlights are planned in the FY 2012/2013 budget that supports the goal of continually improving our Village using a “Resident Service” focus. Many of these budget highlights are shown on tables in the following pages. In summary, the FY 2012/13 budget recommends the following operational funding:
Establish the Village Operating “Millage Rate” at 7.67 mils
The preparation of this Annual Budget document could not have been accomplished without the tireless collaboration of all Village departments and the notable assistance of our Finance Department staff. The Village Administration would also like to acknowledge and thank Village Council for their collective guidance, diligence, perseverance, and stewardship during this difficult budgetary process. With respect to the workforce reduction strategies, decisions made, were neither easy or without tremendous heartache. All available options were exhaustively explored with a steadfast goal to improve service delivery levels while reducing costs. Several budget workshop meetings have been scheduled during the months of July, August, and September where Council will meticulously review the substance and content of this Budget. All refinements to the Budget will be tracked and tabulated during those meetings. Those refinements will be incorporated in the “Final” FY 2012/2013 Annual Budget document. Respectfully submitted,
Ed Green, Village Manager Village of North Palm Beach, FL.

Village Boards and Committees
The Village Council of North Pa
lm Beach appoints members of the community to boards, commissions, and committees to act in an advisory capacity to the Council, Manager, and Departments
of the Village. The Village Council may create a board or committee in connection with any functions of the Village, or may create an ad hoc committee of limited duration. North Palm Beach board, commission, and committee members serve at the pleasure of the Village Council. Members of the Village Council
attend meetings of Village boards, commissions, and committees on a rotation schedule in order to remain informed of Board
business and concerns. Each appointed body has a specific scope of authority as
provided by the Village Code of Ordinances and/or Florida Statutes. Boards, commissions, committees, and task forces may have administrative, managerial, quasi-judicial, investigatory,
and/or advisory powers dependent upon the enabling legislation. Boards, commissions, and committees are not responsible for day-to-day operations of the departments, operating policies of departments or the business decisions of the local government.
Municipal advisory boards, commissions, and committees are comprised of dedicated citizens who volunteer their time and
expertise to help their community. Boards, commissions, and committees are an integral part of citizen participation in local
government and an important asset to the Village for proper growth and development and the long-term stability of our community. Our volunteers provide vital input in the decision-
making process regarding present and future activities, programs, and policies. The Village of North Palm Beach has eleven (11) Boards, Commissions, and/or Committees:
•
Audit Committee
•
Special Magistrate
•
Construction Board of Adjustment

Village History
North Palm Beach Area before Incorporation:
1892 Albert Sawer was given a warranty deed by the State of Florida with the stipulation that he improve, cultivate or sell the land before 1907. This land included Lake Park and North Palm Beach. Sawyer di
ed in 1903 and willed the trust to his son, Albert. The 1907 deadline was extended to 1927.
1919 Albert Sawyer, Jr. sold the deed to Barton Peck in 1915 for $1140. Peck sold the deed to
Harry & Mabel Kelsey for
$100,000. Kelsey moved to Silver Beach and bought 14 miles of oceanfront and lakefront property between Miami & Jupiter, including 100,000 acres which later became Kelsey
City/Lake Park and North Palm Beach. He purchased the Florida East Coast Canal, which is part of the Intracoastal Waterway, and operated it as a toll waterway with a toll chain across the intracoastal to stop boats and collect a fee. Dredg-ing became costly so Kelsey sold the waterway to the state.
1923 Kelsey City was incorporated in 1923 after Kelsey had laid
out his carefully zoned town.
Over 100 houses were built by him and these homes sold quickly.
1926 Kelsey, with the help of Paris Singer (Singer Island is named after him), built an 18 hole golf course and Winter Golf Club-house (“The Winter Club”) on the land where the NPB Coun-
try Club sits now.
“The Winter Club late 1920’s”
“Golfers at the Winter Club”
1928 A hurricane with 130 mph winds caused Lake Okeechobee to overflow its banks and dr
own 3000 residents who lived near the lake. The hurricane
wrenched the concrete Ear-
man River bridge from its mooring, demolished all but a few of the 100 Lake Park homes, uprooted and leveled Kelsey’s 3 timber mills, and the entire Park Avenue shop-ping district, and ruined the vital credit rating of this once
thriving town. Many of the pioneer families who had purchased homes in Kelsey City fled North, abandoning their demolished homes, defaulting on their mort
gage payments and causing
the Kelsey City Bank to fail. In Florida, if property taxes went unpaid for 2 years, the state took title to that land. The unpaid taxes totaled $300 per lot and went up for sale. Kelsey, very disillusioned that his carefully planned town was in ruins, abandoned his first original home on the southwest corner of U.S. Highway One and Park Avenue and left Kelsey City.
1929- Sir Harry Oaks purchased the Winter Club and all the NPB 1930 land from Kelsey. Oaks added a south wing to the Winter Club. Oakes opened the golf cour
se to winter visitors but
closed it shortly after the
stock market crash of 1929-30. Oaks moved his family to Nassau and spent considerable time in London.

1926- In the period of time from 1926 when Kelsey built the
1955 Winter Club and 1955, the land consisted of 7 square miles of sugar sand and scrub palmetto and fewer than 100 indi-viduals living between Lake Park & Jupiter. The Tesdem Company, formed by Harry Oakes’ Estate, held trusts of over 1000 lots in Lake Park and all the land in NPB including both sides of U.S. Highway One.
1951 Harry Oaks’ widow sold NPB land to Ralph Stolkin. Stolkin used this land as collateral for a loan from John D.
Macarthur. When Stolkin defa
ulted, MacArthur became sole
owner of NPB and Lake Park. However, MacArthur was more interested in developing Palm Beach Gardens.
1955 Richard and Herbert Ross purchased the NPB properties from MacArthur’s Bankers Land for $5 million.
1956 Before NPB was incorporated, the Ross brothers had these services in place: a utilities general manager, a Village Hall, a Village Council consisting of pioneer first council members: Charles Cunningham, our first Mayor, Richard Ross, Jay White, John Schwencke and John D. MacArthur, a Fire and Police Chief, Anchorage Park Marina and ramp, 75 miles of sewer pipes, a bulkhead and dredged 20 canals and 3 lakes and a Village Manager.
08/13/1956…Together with Seward Mott Associates of Washington, D.C., a master pl
an was drawn and the Village of North Palm Beach was incorporated by Tallahassee.
North Palm Beach after Incorporation:
1957 The first business to be issued an occupancy permit was the
Pantry Pride / Food Fair at 101 U.S. Highway One. The first three permits for occu-pancy were issued to: 402 S. Anchorage Dr., 406 S. Anchorage Dr. & 410 S. Anchorage Dr.
1958 The developers donated ten acres of land to the school board and NPB Elementary opened for classes. The National Association of Ho
me Builders out of Chicago,
chose NPB as an award winni
ng community. This was the first time a Florida town had won! The criteria used in-cluded excellence in: landscaping, planning, schools, recrea-tion, zoning, shopping, variety of home styles and public services in place. The layout for our Village had superior planning, and credit for this award-winning plan goes to Richard & Herbert Ross.
1961 The Village purchased 145 acres around the NPB Country Club for $1,250,000 by issuing general obligation bonds. NPB voters approved spending $400,000 to build a new clubhouse and Olympic size swimming pool. These im-provements opened in 1963 and the bond was paid off in 1988.
1969 NPB Library, off Anchorage, wa
s dedicated. Old Port Cove
condominium complex with ove
r 1,000 units was started.
1971 Twin City Mall opened at th
e corner of Northlake Blvd and U.S. Highway One as Palm Beach County’s second en-closed shopping mall. This Mall was built onto the previous grocery store/strip mall completed in 1959. The Mall was demolished in the mid-1990s and has gradually been re-placed by a mid-sized strip mall anchored by Publix.

ons of the Country Club restaurant now known as the “Village Tavern.”
1973 The University of N.C. chose NPB as an example of “one of
the few well planned communities its size in the U.S.A.”
1980 1.5 miles of oceanfront land, which lay within the NPB boundaries, was sold to Palm Beach County for $23 million. It is now called John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.
George Delacorte, a NPB resident, donated $600,000 toward building our second Community Center. The Delacorte Rec-reation Building on Prosperity Farms Road was built with the stipulation that no fee ever be charged for use of the building. Harriet Nolan was elected as the first female NPB Council Member.
1981 Additional condominium complexes completed 2004 during these years. 1989 Judy Pierman elected as the
first female Mayor of NPB.
1999 NPB Public Safety fac
ility opened. At that
time, it had the most technologically advanced equipment.

Budget Preparation Process The budget process incorporates the development, implementation and evaluation of a plan for the provision of services and capital
assets. The budget is to serve as a management and control tool by measuring actual performance against budget standards, focus
attention on future operati
ons and plans and improve communication of goals, objectives and plans. The Village’s budget process relies on a timetable of tasks and the planning of steps and meetings that must be maintained in order to
comply with state requirements
for Truth in Millage (TRIM) as
well as internal requirements for sound planning and fiscal responsibility. The budget process begins with setting a calendar
of tasks for the coming months that meets all requirements and is
approved by the Village Council. Below is the Village’s Budget Calendar prepared for the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 budget preparation process:

Through the budget process, an annual budget is developed that integrates priorities and short and long-term goals as established by
Council in order to meet the needs and goals of the Village and
establish annual resource allocations. These resource decisions
address desired quality of service; staffing levels; technology needs, equipment and capital improvements; and programs considered to be priorities by the Village Council. The Village’s fiscal year starts on October 1 and runs through September 30.

Budget
Page 31 of 283
The Village’s Budget Process can be divided into five phases:
Policy & Strategy Phase
Assessment Phase
Development Phase
Review Phase
Adoption Phase
Each phase is described below. Policy & Strategy Phase
Setting priorities for the Village is one of the most important responsibilities of Village Council and these goals and directives
set the tone for the development of the budget. In this phase,
Village Council and staff has the opportunity to reassess the goals
and objectives within the strategic framework in order to provide
direction to the resource allocation and budgetary decision-making
process. Annually, the service priorities and objectives for each fiscal year
are evaluated and the long-term financial plan is monitored and updated in order to set direction for the development of the budget
that is properly aligned with the broad goals and strategic directives. This includes an assessment of services, capital needs,
issues and challenges, opportunities as well as a review of economic trends and financial forecasts. Assessment Phase
As part of the budget process, departments evaluate performance towards meeting current and past goals and objectives and assess
current conditions, programs a
nd needs. Various financial
analyses, as well as productivity and staffing analyses, are performed. Programs and services are also reviewed thoroughly to
assess their value and the subsequent
priority to the residents of the Village. These internal analyses are necessary to determine service needs and delivery improvements, cost savings and opportunities,
and required staffing levels. Development Phase
Each department’s budget package includes forms and instructions to aid in the preparation of their budget requests. The forms contain two prior years’ actual data, the current year estimated actual, current year budget, requested amount for the coming year.
The departments describe the expenditures on the line item justification form which follows the departmental breakdown of the line items. In addition to requesting dollars, the departments must submit departmental objectives that provide a strategy linked
to the Village’s overall goals and policy agenda. The departments
must also provide current year achievements and organization charts that identify changes from the previous year. The above mentioned items are included in both the proposed and final budget documents. In a separate package, the departments submit requests for necessary capital outlay and capital improvement projects. Each
department submits requests in or
der of priority. These include
cost and description, as well as justification for the need. Capital Improvement Projects are foreca
st in the 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document. This allows the need to be
known in advance. The department must re-submit and re-justify the need for the project during each subsequent budget process. The projects include cost and description. Review Phase
The Village Manager and Finance Director review the departmental requests, meet with the departments, and fund what is
deemed necessary.
FY

Budget
Page 32 of 283
Public Adoption Phase
In July, the Village Manager presents a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing October 1 to the Village Council for consideration and further input. This proposal includes all
proposed operating and capital expenditures and the means of
financing it. Council reviews the budget and conducts budget workshops to provide an opportunity for Village management and departments to offer additional information. Changes are made to the budget as per the Council’s instructions. The proposed budget
is then revised incorpor
ating these changes.
The budget is adopted in compliance with requirements found in the Village’s Charter as well as with the State Statute known as TRIM (truth in millage). The law includes strict requirements and a timetable guide for noticing budget hearings and ensuring residents have an opportunity to be heard before final action takes
place.
TRIM Compliance
Florida Department of Revenue
sets a schedule for local governments to follow in adopting tax roll information in accordance with the county property appraiser offices. Accordingly, there are two public hearings scheduled to openly discuss the budget, millage rate and reason for any tax increase. By July 1st each year the Property Appraiser certifies the tax rolls
for the Village on form DR-420. This roll is used in formulating
the proposed millage rate for the coming year. Thereafter the following timetable must be adhered to:
Within 35 days the Village Manager must have submitted the proposed budget to Council and delivered the DR-420 and DR-420 MM-P to the Property Appraiser (August 5th
).
Between 65-80 days from date of certification the Village must hold a tentative budget and millage hearing. This hearing cannot be held sooner than (10) days following the mailing of notices by the Property Appraiser (August 24th
).
Within fifteen (15) days of the tentative budget and millage hearing the Village must advertise a final hearing on the
budget.
Not less than two (2) or more than five (5) days after the advertisement, a final hearing adopting the budget and millage is held.
Upon completion of the public hearings and prior to
October 1st, a final operating budget is legally enacted through the passage of an ordinance.
Within three (3) days after adoption, the Village must certify the adopted millage to the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector.
Within three (3) days after receipt of final value, as discussed below, the Finance Director completes form DR-422 and returns to the Property Appraiser.
Within thirty (30) days of final millage and budget adoption, the Village must certify compliance with Section 2000.065 and 200.068, F.S., to the Department of Revenue.

Implementing, Monitoring & Amendment Phase-Budgetary Control
Upon the final adoption of the budget, staff implements the new fiscal year budget and begins the process of continuous monitoring and ensuring budgetary control throughout the fiscal year. The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget approved by the Village Council. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at
which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the department level. Reports are generated
monthly to keep Department Directors informed and to monitor revenues and expenditures in order to achieve effective control over their departmental budgets. Department Directors are accountable for over/under expenditures.
The Village maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control. All expenditures, other than personal services,
are controlled by a procurement system which encumbers purchase orders against the budget prior
to issuance to vendors. Purchase orders are not issued until appropriations are made available. All appropriations lapse at year
end; however, encumbrances specifically designated to be carried over to the subsequent year are re-appropriated in the following
year.
During ongoing monitoring, staff may
note that corrective action is
needed to help accomplish planned or needed programs and activities and request budget amendments. Changes or amendments to the budgeted amounts at the fund level must be
approved by the Village Council; however, the budget may be amended in the following three ways:
1.
A transfer over $10,000 may be authorized only by resolution adopted by Council.
2.
Transfers up to $10,000 can be made with authorization by Village Manager providing the Department’s Overall adopted budget is not exceeded.
3.
A transfer from the Village’s Unassigned Fund Balance Account or the Council Contingency Account, which may be authorized only by resolution adopted by the Council.
All budget amendments, once approved, are processed by the Finance Department.

Basis of Presentation, Basis of Budgeting and Budgetary Accounting Basis of Presentation
The accounts and the budget of the Village are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. To better understand the budget, a basic understanding of this financial
structure is required. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-
balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. A
ccount groups are a reporting requirement to account for certain assets and liabilities of the
governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. The
funds are classified for reporting
purposes into three basic fund
types; governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds. The purpose of the Village’s funds and account groups are described in the
following paragraphs. Governmental Fund Types
:
Governmental funds are those through which general governmental functions of the Village are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of
the Village’s expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in
Proprietary Funds) are accounted fo
r through Governmental Funds. The following are the Village’s Governmental Fund types:
•
General Fund – The General Fund is the main operating fund of the Village. This fund is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. All general property taxes, fines,
various permits, property rentals and certain
intergovernmental revenues are recorded in this fund.
General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital
improvement costs that are not
paid through other funds are
paid from the General Fund. There can only be one General Fund.
•
Special Revenue Funds
– Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditures
for specified purposes.
•
Capital Projects Funds
– Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities or improvements (other than those financed
by proprietary funds) being financed from general long-term debt, grants, or transfers
from other funds.
In the Governmental Fund Type category, the Village adopts an annual operating budget and appropriates funds for the General
Fund only. The Capital Projects Fund and the Special Revenue
Funds involve multi-year projects so annual budgets are not adopted for these funds. Instead, appropriations in these funds
remain open and carry over to succeeding years until planned
expenditures are made, or until
they are amended or cancelled.
Proprietary Fund Types: Proprietary funds distinguish between operating and non-operating
revenues and expenses, and the
principal revenues are derived
from charges to customers for sales and services. The Village’s
sole proprietary activity is the operation of a golf and country club,
which is an enterprise fund.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 36 of 283
•
Enterprise Funds
– Enterprise Funds account for operations
(a)
that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or serv
ices to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or
(b)
where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenue earned,
expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
The Village adopts a non-appropriated operating budget for its Country Club Fund at the same time it adopts the General Fund Budget. Fiduciary Fund Types: Fiduciary Fund types are used to account for assets held by the
Village in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other funds. The funds in
this category are the Village’s
Pension Trust Funds and Agency
Funds.
Annual budgets are not prepared for these fund types.
•
Trust Funds – To account for assets held by the Village in a
trustee capacity. The pension trust funds are accounted for in essentially the same manner as proprietary funds since
capital maintenance is critical.
•
Agency Funds
– To account for assets held by the Village.
The Village retains no equity interest in these funds.
Account Groups: Account groups are not funds since they don’t reflect available financial resources and related liabilities
. Instead, they are used
to establish accounting control and
accountability for the Village’s
general fixed assets and general long-term debt. The following is a
description of the account groups of the Village:
•
General Fixed Assets - To account for all fixed assets of the Village, except fixed assets of Proprietary Funds.
•
General Long-Term Debt – To account for all the outstanding principal balances of any general and special obligation bonds or notes, capi
talized leases, installment purchases, and compensated ab
sences of the Village,
except long-term obligations of Proprietary Funds.
Basis of Budgeting
The basis of budgeting includes the following two elements (measurement focus and basis of accounting) that measure and account for transactions the Village reports in the respective fund’s
budget and operating statement. Measurement Focus Measurement Focus refers to what
transactions are recorded. The
accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. There are two different measurement focuses that are used in the preparation of financial statements for governments:
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 37 of 283
•
Economic Resources Measurement Focus – This measurement focus is used in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of proprietary funds. With this
measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated
with the operation of these funds are included on their
statement of net assets and the reported fund equities (total
reported assets less total reported liabilities) provide an indication of the economic net worth of the funds. Operating statements of these funds report increases (revenue) and decreases (expenses) in total economic net
worth.
•
Current Financial Resources Measurement Focus – This measurement focus is used in the fund financial statements of governmental funds. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included
on the balance sheet. Accordingly, the reported undesignated fund balances (net current assets) are
considered a measure of available, spendable or appropriable resources. Operating statements of these funds present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing
uses) in net current assets.
Account Groups are concerned only with the measurement of financial position. They are not involved with the measurement of
results of operations. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reporte
d in the financial statements.
The basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are coll
ectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, Ad valorem taxes and charges for services are considered to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period, provided that amounts received pertain to billings through the fiscal year just ended.
Intergovernmental revenues, which include state revenue sharing allotments, local government one-half cent sales tax, and county shared revenue, among other source
s, are recorded in accordance
with their legal or contractual requirements if collected in the current period or within 60 days after year-end.
Interest is recorded when earned. Licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures and all other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received. Business
Tax Receipt revenues collected in advance of periods to which they relate are recorded as deferred revenues. Expenditures are recorded when a related fund liability is incurred.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences
and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 38 of 283
The proprietary fund and pension trust funds are accounted for
using the economic resources measurement focus and the full 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. Membership fees of the
proprietary fund that are collected in advance of the period to which they apply are recorded as deferred revenue. The table below summarizes the measurement focus and basis of accounting for each reporting element and type of fund mentioned above:

The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) shows the status of the Village’s finances on the basis of “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (GAAP). In most cases, this conforms to the way the Village prepares its budget, with the
following exceptions:
•
Depreciation expense is not a budgeted expense.
•
Expenditures for capitalizable fixed assets are budgeted as
expenses.
•
Compensated absences are not included in the budget.
•
Expenditures for principal payments on outstanding debt
are budgeted as expenses.
Budgetary Accounting
State of Florida stat
utes require that all municipal governments
establish budgetary systems and approve balanced annual
operating budgets. The Council annually adopts an operating
budget and appropriates funds for the General Fund. The Village also adopts a non-appropriated operating budget for the enterprise fund (Country Club) at the same time it adopts the
General Fund Budget. The procedures for establishing budgetary
data are as follows:
•
In July of each year, the Village Manager submits a proposed operating budget to the Council for the next fiscal year commencing the following October 1st. The proposed
budget includes expenditures and the means of financing them. The Village also advises the County Property Appraiser of the proposed millage rate and the date, time and place of the public hearing for budget acceptance.
•
Two Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
Upon completion of the public hear
ings and prior to October 1
st, a
final operating budget is legally enacted through the passage of an
ordinance. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in
the budgetary process.

Financial Policies Operating Budget Policies:
The Village will comply with all Federal, State or local
legal requirements pertaini
ng to the operating budget. A
balanced budget is achieved when the amounts available from taxation and other sources, including amounts carried
over from prior fiscal years, equals the total appropriations for expenditures and reserves.
The Village will employ a structured budget preparation and formulation process that will ensure adequate citizen input and participation.
The Village will employ a structured expenditure and revenue forecasting system to allow for effective financial planning.
Essential services will receive first priority for funding. The Village will attempt to maintain current service levels for all essential services.
The Village will identify low priority services for reduction or elimination, if necessary, before essential services.
The Village will consider the establishment of user fees as an alternative to service reductions or elimination.
The Village will pay for all current expenditures with current revenues.
The Village will avoid budgetary procedures that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future years’ expenses.
The budget will provide for adequate maintenance and repair of capital plant and equipment and for their orderly replacement.
The budget will provide sufficient funding to cover annual
debt retirement costs.
The budget will provide for adequate funding of all pension plans, as determined by the Village’s actuary.
The Village will maintain a budgetary control system to
ensure adherence to the budget and will use a budget/encumbrance control system to ensure proper budgetary control.
The Village administration will prepare regular reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts.
Where possible, the Village will integrate service levels and performance measures within the budget.
The goal of the enterprise fund operation is to be self-supporting and to pay administ
rative and other appropriate
service charges to the Gene
ral Fund for administrative
support.
The total number of employment positions approved in the annual operating budget may not be exceeded without prior
approval of the Village Council.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget

The Village will annually seek the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award offered by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
Fund Balance and Reserve Policies:
The Village will establish an adequate fund balance in the General Fund to indicate that
it is in sound financial
condition. This reserve will
be maintained at a minimum
level of 35% of current year general fund budgeted expenditures.
Fund Balance will only be used for expenditures that are either non-recurring in nature
or that have a benefit period longer than one operating period. Village Council approval is necessary for this type of expenditure.
Maintain a contingency reserve in the General Fund and the
Country Club Fund to address unexpected needs that occur throughout the year, subject to approval by the Village
Council.
Revenue Policies:
The Village will take active measures to encourage economic development, thereby developing a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it from short-run fluctuations in any one revenue source.
The Village will establish user charges and fees at a level closely related to the full cost of providing the services (i.e. direct, indirect and capital costs); taking into consideration
similar charges/fees being levied by other organizations.
The Village will aggressively seek Federal and State grant and capital improvement funds and evaluate future local fiscal impact.
Debt Policy:
The Village Charter and the Constitution of the State of Florida do not provide for a legal debt limit. However, In
making or providing of capital improvements, The Village shall not incur a general obligation debt requiring the full
faith and credit and taxing power of the Village that exceeds five (5%) of the property tax base of the Village. The Village has no general obligation debt outstanding.
The Village will analyze the impact of debt service on total annual fixed costs before any
long-term debt is issued.
Any loan obligation above $500,000 shall require review and comment by the Village’s Audit Committee prior to Council Action.
The Village will not use proceeds from long-term debt for current, on-going operations. Long-term borrowing will be confined to capital improvements too large to be financed from current revenues.
The Village will utilize the form of borrowing that is most
cost-effective, including not just interest expense but all costs, including up front costs, administrative and legal
expenses, prepayment penalties, and reserve requirements.
Cash Management/Investment Policies:
The Village will deposit funds only in financial institutions which are qualified public depositories pursuant to Sate of Florida Statutes, Chapter 280, and “Florida Security for Public Deposits Acts.”
The Village will insure timely deposit of all collected revenues.
FY

The Village will maintain a prudent cash management and
investment program in order to meet daily cash requirements.
The Village will follow its adopted investment policy when handling public funds.
The Village will pool cash fr
om each eligible fund for
investment purposes.
Accounting, Auditing & Financial Reporting Policies:
An independent audit will be performed annually, including the issuance of a management letter.
The Village administration will promptly evaluate the audit management letter recommendations, determine the proper actions in response to th
ese recommendations and complete, within established time frames, all actions that correct or otherwise resolve the matters included in the management letter.
The Village will produce financial reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The Village Council will be provided monthly with budget reports comparing actual versus budgeted revenue and expense activity.
The Village will annually seek the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award
offered by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
The Village will maintain the highest level of accounting
practices consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Capital Improvement Plan Policies:
The Village will adopt the first year of a multi-year plan for
capital improvements, update it annually and make every attempt to complete all capital improvements in accordance with the plan.
The Village will coordinate the development of the CIP budget with the development of the operating budget to
ensure future operating expenditures and revenues associated with new capital improvements will be projected and incorporated into the current and future operating budgets.
The Village will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the Village’s capital investment and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
In making or providing of capital improvements, The Village shall not incur a general obligation debt requiring the full faith and credit and taxing power of the Village that exceeds five (5%) of the propert
y tax base of the Village.

Debt Administration The Village has limited its borrowing to prudent levels that are able to be covered through existing reve
nue and cash flow projections. The Village utilizes debt financing on large expenditures for capital projects. When establishing debt, there are a number of factors to be considered in the process. These factors include:
the long-term needs of the Village
the amount of resources availa
ble to repay the debt
There are a few ways for the Village to achieve debt financing. The Council considers the asset’s useful life and current economic conditions to determine the appropriate financing instrument. Some financing options available to the Village include:
bank loan
lease agreements (capital
lease or operating lease)
issue special revenue bonds (pledged by a specific revenue source and limited by available revenue)
issue general obligation bonds (require voter referendum
approval)
The Village Charter and the Constitution of the State of Florida do not provide for a legal debt limit. However, in regards to capital
improvements, the Village has adopted a policy to limit general obligation debt (
debt pledging payment from ad valorem taxes which
must be approved by referendum) to an amount that does not exceed five (5%) percent of the property tax base of the Village. For Fiscal Year 2012-2013 this would amount to $74.31 million (tax base of
$1.5 billion) in available general obligation debt.
The Village has
no outstanding General Obligation debt.
The Village’s outstanding debt (principal only) as of September 30,
2011 consists of the following:
General Fund:
The Village’s General Fund is debt-free! Country Club:
Promissory Note $ 3,844,928 Capital Lease 173,084 Total Country Club $ 4,018,012

Fund Balance Overview Fund Balance is generally defined as the difference between a fund’s
assets and liabilities. Changes in fund balance are based on the
difference between revenues and expenditures for a given fiscal year.
An adequate fund balance is necessary for numerous reasons, such as to have funds available in cases of emergencies, unexpected events, cushion economic cycles and special projects. It is also used to maintain or enhance the Village’s financial position and related bond ratings, to provide cash for operations prior to receipt of revenues and to maintain investment earnings. Over past years, the Village has been able to generate healthy reserves through growth management, strategic planning, and cost containment
measures. The goal of the Village has been to use surplus reserves in
ways that positively affect its fi
nancial plan by reducing long-term
obligations. The Village does not use surpluses to offset the subsequent year’s budget. In other
words, surpluses are not relied on
as an ongoing source of revenue. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released Statement 54 – “Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions” on March 11, 2009. The Village implemented GASB 54 in its fiscal year 2011 annual financial reports. This statement impacts only governmental funds; it has no impact on proprietary (enterprise) funds or fiduciary funds.
The requirements of this statement are intended to improve financial reporting by providing fund balance cat
egories and classifications that
will be more easily understood and applied. The categories are more clearly defined to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance more transparent by isolating that
portion of fund balance that is
unavailable to support the following
year’s budget.
GASB 54 eliminates the previous categories of “Reserved” and “Unreserved” for all Governmental Fund balances, and replaces these
with five new reporting categories. These categories create a hierarchy of constraints that control how specific amounts can be spent. The five new reporting categories are as follows:
Non-spendable – amounts that ar
e not in a spendable form or
are required to be maintained intact (inventories, prepaid items,
interfund loans)
Restricted – amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (debt covenants, grant proceeds)
Committed – amounts constrained to
specific purposes by the
government itself (disaster recovery, rate stabilization,
insurance, encumbrances)
Assigned – amounts a government intends to issue for a specific purpose
Unassigned – amounts that are available for any purpose
Fund Balance tables for the General Fund and the Enterprise Fund (two major/budgetary funds) are on the following pages. These tables represent the Village’s actual fund balances as of October 01, 2011. The actual fund balances for fiscal year 2011-12 will be available upon completion of the Village’s annual audit in early 2013. The reserves
shown in these tables are based on conservative revenue estimates and one hundred percent (100%) of the budgeted expenditures being
expended.

Strategic Planning Strategic Planning is a structured and coordinated approach for developing long-term organizational goals and for developing strategies to accomplish them. It is typically used to facilitate communication, to accommodate divergent interests, and to foster decision making through leadership and consensus building. In
municipal government, one of the
primary purposes is to set the
state for the annual budget process, providing a roadmap for annual resource allocations. The mission statement provides the foundation for all remaining
portions of the strategic planning process:
Mission
To provide the highest quality of service to the residents of North
Palm Beach in the most efficient, effective, and fiscally responsible manner by providing sound, clear policy guidance that
encourages, promotes, protects,
and improves the welfare of the Village of North Palm Beach, ensuring that North Palm Beach
remains “the best place to live under the sun.”
Core Values
The core values of an organization are the va
lues it holds that
form the foundation on which it performs its work and conducts
itself. They describe how an or
ganization believes it should act, and how those beliefs should be reflected in its actions. The Village of North Palm Beach values…
Ethics and Integrity
Open Communication
Respect for differences
Dedication
Teamwork
Exemplary Customer Service
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
Critical to the strategic planning process is the understanding of the forces, both positive and negati
ve, that impact the Village’s
ability to achieve its mission. The Village, as an organization, has certain internal attributes that
are recognized as beneficial assets; its strengths. However, the
Village also has some internal attributes that are negative; its weaknesses
. There are those external
forces in the outside world
that are beyond the Village’s control or influence. Some of these
forces create favorable conditions for achievement of the Village’s mission; they are opportunities. Of course, some of the
external forces are contrary, and potentially damaging to the Village’s interests; these are threats.
The internal organizational strengths and external opportunities represent sources of positive achievement and provide a launching point for development of strategies designed to accomplish the
Village’s vision: “To be the greatest pl
ace to live under the sun.”
The internal weaknesses and external
threats represent barriers to
success but understanding them can also provide inspiration for new strategies. The results of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis are listed on the following page.

Long Term Goals
In the annual strategic planning process, Village Council revisits
and refines goals to continually adjust to the current social and economic environment. Overall the general Village goals remain
consistent as follows:
1.
Protect Financial Integrity of the Village in a Difficult Economic Environment
2.
Maintain a High Quality of Life in the Village
3.
Maintain and improve all Recreational Facilities of the Village
4.
Enhance the Spirit and Participation of our Community
5.
Improve the Overall Appearance of the Village
The Annual Budget has been developed with these goals in mind. The budget goals provide the ove
rall framework for the budget
process. Village departments have reviewed their department goals for the upcoming year to assure that the overall long-term Village goals were addressed in their priorities for program, service and facility requests.
Performance Measures
Performance measures form the foundation for the strategic planning process because they are really what assure goal accomplishment. Some measures track outputs or number of units of service delivered over time. Others measure efficiency or how well resources are leveraged. Each type of measure is significant within the performance measurement system.
Village departments have included performance measures in their department plans. Performance measures allow Village departments to monitor implementation of projects, programs, initiatives, and services funded through the budget; measure their success in meeting the targeted performance; identify opportunities to improve service delivery; inform Council as they
make strategic adjustments; and provide data to support decisions
for future resource allocation. Conclusion
The Village integrates the annual budgeting process with the strategic planning process. The Strategic Plan helps to prioritize
how the Village will use current and future resources to achieve identified goals. In this way the strategic plan drives budget
preparation decisions and service delivery implementation.
The Village’s ongoing strategic planning process is an affirmation and continuation of a vision that started years ago:
“To be the
greatest place to live under the sun.”

Long Range Planning The long-range planning for the Village of North Palm Beach is outlined in the following policy documents:
1.
The Comprehensive Plan.
2.
The Annual Budget.
The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1989, in compliance with the Florida Statutes Chapter 163, Department of Community
Affairs. The Plan guides future growth and development and provides an overall vision for the Village. The Plan contains the flowing elements:
1.
Future Land Use
2.
Transportation
3.
Housing
4.
Infrastructure
5.
Coastal Management
6.
Conservation
7.
Recreation and Open Space
8.
Intergovernmental Coordination
9.
Capital Improvements
10. Public School Concurrency
11. Annexation (Optional Element)
Each element of the plan provides an inventory of existing conditions, an analysis of needs
along with goals, objectives and
policies to guide the growth of the Village. Levels of Service (LOS) are also established in the comprehensive plan to ensure that infrastructure and services
will be available to accommodate new residential and commercial developments. The LOS analysis and resultant capital expenditures are included in the Capital Improvement element which provides the continuity between the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the Annual
Budget through the five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The CIP identifies projects and their associated costs and is
reviewed and updated annually in both documents.
Long-Term Financial Plan
The Annual Budget contains a five year CIP and an analysis of total projected revenues and expenditures for the same time periods as the CIP. The projections assist management in the planning and allocation of res
ources to achieve the Village Council goals of maintaining a financially secure municipal
government. The results of the long-range financial plan for the major operating funds (General Fund and Country Club) are provided on
the following pages. The long-range financial plan should not be confused with the Village’s budget. The budget is the Village’s legal authority for spending. The budget focuses on the near-term future; it is very detailed, and it must be balanced between resources and requirements. In comparison, the long-range financial plan has a longer time-frame, is less detailed and is only used to help management develop budget strategies and prioritize the use of limited resources.

General Fund Revenues
$18,484,863
This section includes a discussion
regarding revenue sources for the Village’s FY 2012/13 General Fund B
udget, how much of the total
budget it comprises, revenue trends, factors influencing the trends,
projections provided by the Flor
ida Department of Revenue and assumptions used in determining the projections. Ad Valorem Taxes $10,829,893
Property taxes are the single largest revenue line item in the General Fund Budget, making up approximately 58.59% of the total budget.
The taxable property value decrea
sed from $1.495 billion to $1.486 billion. At the millage rate of 7.67 mils, this will generate gross taxes
for FY 2012/13 of $11.4 million. But, due to discounts for prompt payment, state law requires that
only 95% of the gross taxes be budgeted as revenue - equating to $10,829,893. This class of revenue has historically provided a stable source of
revenue and normally displays an increasing trend based on significant new construction and development.
However, this is no longer the case, due to current economic conditions and the fact that the Village is
primarily a built-out community. Millage Options:
On June 1, 2012 Palm Beach County notified the Village that the preliminary taxable valuation was $1,486,603,670. The final taxable valuation received on July 1 showed a valuation of $1,486,295,612. This includes $3,833,445 in new construction. Based on this final taxable value and current legislation, the millage
options, with respect to voting and advertising requirements for FY 2012/13, are discussed in the following paragraphs. Please note that the Village’s current millage rate is 6.9723 mils.
Methodology for increasing Millage Rate:
As per current tax law (FS 200.185) the Village is required to follow these procedures for FY 2012/13 when setting its millage rate: 6.9990 Mils (Rolled-Back Rate):
A simple majority vote is all that is required to approve the rolled-back millage rate of 6.9990 or less. The rolled-back rate is the rate required to produce the same amount of ad valorem tax revenues this year as the previous year, excluding the effect of new constructi
on. The typical
example is that as assessments increase, the millage rate decreases proportionately to equalize the revenues. 6.9991 – 8.8274 Mils (Majority Vote Maximum Millage Rate):
A simple majority vote is also all that is required to approve a rate above the rolled-back rate, up to 8.8274 mils (This rate is calculated by
adjusting the rolled-back rate by the growth in Florida per capita
personal income). However, since this is higher than the rolled-back rate, it must be advertised
as a tax increase.
8.8275 – 9.7101 Mils (Two-Thirds Vote Maximum Millage Rate):
A super majority vote is required to increase the millage rate by up to 110% of the majority vote maximum rate. 9.7102 – 10.0000 Mils (Unanimous Vote Maximum Millage Rate):
A unanimous vote is required to increase the millage rate by more than 110% of the majority vote maximum rate. However this is subject to
an overall legal ceiling for municipalities of 10 mils.

General Fund Expenditures $18,484,863
To counter the decrease in revenue brought about by property tax
reform and the economic downturn, The Village Manager asked Department Directors to reduce spending in a manner that would minimize the impact on our residents. This required seeking new ways to serve our customers. While Directors did an admirable job identifying areas to cut, a siza
ble portion of each department’s budget (employee cost) is not entir
ely within the
control of its
Director. This section includes a discussion
regarding appropriations for the Village’s FY 2012/13 General Fund budget, how much of the total
budget it comprises, and assumptions used in determining the
projections. Personal Services $13,308,779:

Village Manager Mission Statement
To provide clear direction, support, accountability, achievement, and recognition through an operational framework that guides and empowers Village staff in providing public services to the citizens of North Palm Beach as established by Council policy goals. The Village Manager promotes and fosters a “purpose-driven” working environment that focuses on service to the public through the efforts of a professional staff and improved operating processes. In collaboration with all Village employees, the administration will nurture creativity, responsibility, accountability and thoughtful risk-taking…all focused on the core goal of Serving the Community
.
Service Levels Narrative
The function of the Village Manager is to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Village. The Village Manager is responsible to the Village Council for:
Creating a strategic focus for the
organization that incorporates
goals of the Council;
Developing organizational goals that serve the community;
Strengthening and guiding the Vi
llage organization to meet public needs and to provide services;
Preparing agenda materials that foster choices, challenges and opportunities, and solutions from which the Village Council can develop policy decisions and make public service choices; and
Ensuring that the management of Village services and programs occurs in an efficient and effective manner.
A fundamental responsibility of the Village Ma
nager is to implement
policies approved by the Council, and to help de
velop a shared vision
for the organization allowing this to occur. To that end, the Village
Manager will continue to work with
the Village Council in developing and communicating our Village’s “resident service” vision. By
focusing on the needs of the citizens, the Village Manager encourages
program and service improvements that allow the Village to keep pace with the ever-changing needs of our community. Accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2012:
1.

New Initiatives
Through diligent efforts of Counc
il and staff, the Country Club
finances have stabilized, from the standpoint of both golf and
restaurant operations. Village Administration will continue to evaluate both financial and operational aspects of this facility with an aim toward delivering high quality service and an enjoyable recreation experience. For the coming year, Administration will look to the future and develop
a concept for the clubhouse and an associated conceptual design for facility enhancements. The goal is to create a vision for the future,
which will spar
k dialogue among
residents, the Council, and staff in formulating a plan for improving
the club facility and by extension, improving the experience for residents who use the facility. Improving and strengthening customer service while fostering local
neighborhood relationships continues
to be a primary focus in the
Fiscal Year 2013 budget. The Village continues to evaluate and re-focus ongoing services toward essential, high-value service areas that “we do best.” This allows contractual opportunities that improve resident service quality while restraining or reducing Village costs. As part of this effort to reevaluate and re-focus, the Administration, under the guidance of the Village Manager, will vigorously pursue all
options for retraining and repurposing its workforce. The philosophy of the Village Manager’s office is to provide the most cost-effective
approach to residential service, without compromising the quality or quantity of those services whenever possible. The Administration recognizes that through a better and smarter application of technology
to streamline processes and procedures already in place, it is possible to reduce growing personnel-related costs without reducing valuable
residential services.
Village Administration will devote a great deal of attention to evaluating the Pay Plan and employee benefits to ensure that they
are current and reflect the most cost effective approach to administering the labor component of the budget. Additionally, the Village will apply more resources to
ward training staff, in order to make sure employees are equipped with the tools they need to offer exemplary service. Succession planning will be initiated to encourage
staff to develop their skills and capabilities in preparation for growth within the organization. In FY 2013, Village Administration will look at how employee tasks and duties are accomplished,
by evaluating work processes
with an aim toward improving e
fficiency. Administration, under the guidance of the Village Manager, will evaluate its approach to
developing and executing capital projects, with the goal to envision,
conceptualize, fund, and accomplish these projects in a timely fashion that will optimize the use of available capital funding.
The Village Manager’s Office will continue to operate in an effective, efficient, and professionally responsible fashion, following the goal-setting support and policy direction of the Village Council. During Fiscal Year 2013, the Village Manager’s Office will also remain committed to lowering personnel, capital, and operational costs wherever possible while continuing to make the Village of North Palm Beach the “best place to live under the sun.”

Human Resources Mission Statement
To deliver customer focused services and support to all Village departments and employees with co
mpetency, care, and quality in
support of the Village’s mission
and strategic priorities.
Service Levels Narrative
The Human Resources (HR) Department supports all other Village Departments through the implementation and management of comprehensive employee benefit programs, development and administration of safety and workers comp programs, ensuring of current and compliant personnel policies and procedures,
supervision of performance a
nd compensation programs, and support of all employee relations issues. Development and administration of these programs in one office ensures consistency and objectivity in their administration. Human Resources works to ensure all other Village departments
have the necessary resources and support to best manage their human capital. Our department provides centralized personnel
administration and record-keeping, background screening, training and development programs, collectiv
e-bargaining support, workers’
compensation case management, and uniform application and consideration of State and Federal labor laws and of the Village’s Personnel Rules and Regulations. Our department strives to stay
abreast of all state and federal legal changes in order to ensure full
compliance across the Village. The Village employs 145 full-time and 123 part-time (both year-round and seasonal) positions. Additionally, the Village offers a benefits package to all full-time staff. Our Health and Welfare Benefits consists of employer-funded medical and dental coverage
to all employees, as well as optional employer-subsidized
dependent coverage. The self-funded retirement plans options offered by the Village are extremely generous. In addition, we offer a Flexible Spending Account, Life and AD&D insurance, Long-Term Disability, Vision, and other optional insurance
programs. The Village also offe
rs Tuition Reimbursement and a
completely confidential Employee Assistance Program. HR is responsible for delivering these programs equitably across our full-
time employee workforce and in full compliance of all Federal and State healthcare regulations, (i
.e., PPACA, COBRA, HIPAA,
Medicare, etc.). Currently the HR Department is staffed with one (1) Director of
Human Resources and one (1) full-time Human Resources Specialist. The HR Director oversees and supervises all areas of
HR and risk management. This includes providing advice and
guidance regarding: personnel support and regulation, policy development and legal compliance, employee benefit management, hiring administration, development of training programs, objective investigation and analysis of personnel matters, disciplinary actions,
and/or employee complaints to ensure that Village policies are being enforced fairly and consistently. The HR Director is also the Village’s designated Safety Coordinator under its Village Safety Policy. As such, the HR Director chairs all Safety Committee meetings, and ensures OSHA–level standards are met for reporting, accident investigations, and
safety improvements.
The HR Specialist works closely with the HR Director to develop and implement full-employment cycle support programs for all employees, and helps to ensure the maintenance of a neutrality and confidential environment for all Village Employees. The Human

Resources Specialist serves as a front-line liaison for the department, administering new-hire orientation, answering employee and vendor inquiries, maintaining confidential
department records, providing pr
oject support, resolving employee
issues, and educating employees regarding their rights and responsibilities. The Human Resources Department maintains the Village’s Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan and position descriptions for all Village jobs. Accordingly, HR conducts market-research on these issues and recommends modifications to Village methods and programs as appropriate. In addition to the duties already
mentioned, the HR Department is
responsible for the
following functions:
Renewals of all workers’ compensation and group insurance plans
Labor relations and collective bargaining with Federation of
Public Employees (FPE), Police Benevolent Association (PBA), and International Associ
ation of Fire Fighters (IAFF)
unions
Managing all workers’ compensation cases with workers’ compensation carrier and health clinic/providers; and
Coordination of all annual employee performance evaluations.
Federal and State Human Resource Laws are in a constant state of flux. This being the case, it is
imperative that the Village HR
Department keeps a pulse on the current regulatory changes in order to ensure that these changes are consistently communicated and implemented across all departments. Our staff attends regular
Human Resource and Benefit Training sessions to stay up to date
and support the Village accordingly. HR has partnered with the Village’s Agent of Record (and health insurance broker) to keep abreast
of the changes in healthcare
regulations, including noticing, coverage, and minimum levels of
care requirements. HR
continues to work closely with the Village’s
broker to negotiate the best pricing for group health insurance with a quality carrier that has a viable network and a balanced benefits package. Traditionally the Village has offered both an HMO and POS (or
PPO) option to its employees to offer a choice of healthcare maintenance programs with a combination of network discounts and in-and out-of-network pricing. The average cost for single (employee-only) coverage has risen steadily for several years. These increases are due to a combination of market-related inflation and the Village’s claims experience. With less than 500 full-time employees, the Village is not a large
enough employer to be rated by the
carriers on claims experience
alone. However, we recognize that keeping a positive claims experience can help to reduce the rate at which premiums increase. In the coming year, HR plans to begin to foster a cultural shift which develops employee engagement with regard to health and
wellness. An agency’s workers’ compensation experience modification rating
(MOD) measures the ratio of expenses to premiums paid and is often used as an indicator of an employer’s safety record. The norm would be a rating of 1.0 w
ith ratings over 1.0 indicating a high ratio of workers’ compensation expenses (i.e. injury-related
payments) and a rating under 1.0 indicating a low ratio of expenses. MOD ratings also affect workers’ compensation premiums; with MOD ratings over 1.0 increasing an agency’s premiums and ratings under 1.0 discounting them. The Village’s MOD for the current year is .83. It is vital to consistently focus on employee safety practices and safety programs in order to sustain our Workers Comp premiums at manageable levels.

Finance Mission Statement
To establish and maintain adequate internal controls that
safeguard the Village’s assets and ensure they are efficiently and
effectively allocated, to help
maintain the Village’s strong financial condition by maintaining revenue levels that are
sufficient to carry out Council priorities and goals, and to support
staff in providing citizens with the appropriate service levels that they have come to expect. Service Levels Narrative
As the largest support department, Finance provides administrative, operational and financial assistance to management, elected officials and
the Village’s residents. The
Department’s responsibilities primarily relate to the administration, control and reporting of all Village finances. The
Department monitors the Village’s fund balances, prepares the Village’s annual budget document, invests the Village’s excess
cash balances, reports on Village grants, and prepares the Village’s financial reports – including the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”). The Village’s CAFR has received the Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers As
sociation (“GFOA”) for 24
consecutive years. Prudent financial management has contributed to the increase in the Unassigned Fund Balance for the Village General Fund. This gives the Village an adequate and important financial “cushion” to
meet unexpected financial hardships. The General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance at September 30, 2011 is unused and unbudgeted in this proposed budget
- remaining at a level of
$10.68 million.
The Finance Director oversees and supervises all areas of the
Finance Department. This includes providing oversight, guidance, financial policy, cash/investment management, debt management, and the monitoring and developing of financial
strategies. The Director also enforces policies that ensure
adequate financial procedures,
fiscal solvency, and financial statement integrity through the maintenance of proper internal
controls. The Director is responsible for: preparing and distributing the
various financial reports of the Village; overseeing quarterly
financial analyses; tracking performance indicators and financial trends; establishing standard operating procedures for the fiscal
operation of the Village; tracking payment schedules; securing financing for vehicles and large capital expenditures (e.g., leases, Capital Improvement, etc.), and developing procedures for
monitoring and facilitating timely debt payment.
The Finance Manager assists the Director by overseeing the Finance Department’s day-to-day operations and is responsible for financial reporting and internal controls.
The Department is responsible for the following functions:
Preparing, recording, analyzing
and monitoring all of the
Village’s financial transactions;
Preparing various Village’s financial reports;
Monitoring and improving all Village internal financial controls;
Verifying accuracy, completeness, legitimacy, and proper
account recording for all Village expenditures;

Village Attorney Mission Statement
To provide sound, effective,
and timely legal advice and
representation to the Village Council and Village Administration.
Service Levels Narrative
The Village Attorney Office is contracted to the following outside
law firms:
The firms of Leonard Rubin, P.
A. and the Law Office of Glen Torcivia and Associates have served in the capacity of Village Attorney since 2006.
The firm of James A. Cherof, Esq., has served in the capacity of Village Labor Attorney since 1997.
The Village Attorney’s office considers and responds to Village
legal requirements and needs. The Village Attorney represents the Village Council and Village Administration in matters of law
pertaining to their official duties; prepares and reviews ordinances, resolutions, agreements, contracts, and other
documents; advises on statutory matters; and conducts litigation.
The Village Labor Attorney represents the Village Council and Village Administration in labor relations and collective bargaining matters.
During Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the Village transitioned from a Code Enforcement Board to a Special Magistrate for the enforcement of Village Codes. The Special Magistrate alone now hears evidence,
decides cases, and addresses fi
nes regarding cases advanced by the Code Enforcement Division of the Community Development Department. The Special Magistrate is paid from the existing budget for Village Attorney-related services, in lieu of the former
arrangement, in which the Village Attorney served as legal counsel to the Code Enforcement Board.

Law Enforcement Mission Statement
To provide the highest quality of police services by maintaining respect for individual rights and human dignity and by empowering our members and the community to work in partnership with the goal of improving the quality of life within the Village of North Palm Beach. Service Levels Narrative
The Police Department consists
of thirty-one (31) sworn law enforcement officers, eight (8) communications personnel (two of which serve as Records Clerks), two (2) police aides, and two (2) full-time clerical personnel. Patrol and Communications personnel work a twelve-hour shift
schedule, with a minimum staf
fing requirement to provide appropriate law enforcement coverage. Organization
The Chief of Police serves as part of the Village Management team reporting to the Village Manager and is responsible for the overall operation and performance
of all Police personnel. The Chief communicates on a regular basis with the Village Manager,
other Village Department Directors and Village Council on all
police related matters. The Administrative Coordinator is responsible for all secretarial duties required by the Chief of Po
lice. The Coordinator also
performs duties related to payroll, purchasing, and Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission requirements. The Police Department consists of two (2) divisions: an Operations Division and an
Operations Support Division.
Each Division is commanded by a Police Captain who is responsible for overseeing: Patrol; Criminal Investigations;
Specialized Units; Communications; Records; and other administrative duties. The current organizational structure has streamlined internal communications and processes thereby improving responsiveness and overall customer service. Uniform Patrol
The Patrol Division consists of four (4) teams assigned to work two (2) shifts with a minimum of four (4) police officers assigned
to each team. The minimum staffing level is three (3) police officers and one (1) sergeant for each shift to provide the necessary coverage 24-hours per day. Criminal Investigations
Criminal Investigations section consists of one (1) sergeant, three (3) detectives, and one (1) Evidence/Crime Scene Technician, who are primarily assi
gned to investigate and process
evidence of both crimes against property and persons and to analyze criminal activity to allow the Department to maximize the use of personnel to prevent and deter criminal activity.
Marine Unit
The Village of North Palm Beach, being a boating community, has a number of waterways within its jurisdiction. Since the
Village borders Lake Worth, the Intracoastal Waterway and Earman River, a Marine Unit is deployed to provide for the safety of the boating public and to investigate any marine related issues.

Community Policing - Crime Prevention
A Police Sergeant is certified as
a crime prevention practitioner
and is responsible for coordination of community programs, residential and business security surveys, and acts as primary
advisor to our Police Explorers. Training
The Police Department continues to work diligently to improve its
training programs with the realization that by providing staff with
the best training possible their performance will be enhanced and the delivery of services will be improved. The Training Section is
exploring new initiatives for officer development and the Department now hosts regional classes to provide them the tools
to be successful. Officers rece
ive regular high liability training,
along with various other classes to develop their abilities.
Traffic Safety
The Police Department continues
to closely monitor its response
to traffic crashes within the Village. Because citizen safety is paramount, the Department is alwa
ys looking for ways to decrease
traffic crashes. An analysis of accident data identifies causation, frequency, location, and time of day allowing the Department to focus its education and enforcement efforts. In addition, the
Department deploys traffic monitoring devices to pinpoint and verify traffic complaint issues. This proactive approach enables the Department to maximize the use of our resources and to have the greatest impact on the identified problem areas. Traffic Crashes:
2010 total is 304
2011 total is 295
The Operations Division’s efforts have resulted in a decrease in the number of crashes (17 fewer) over the previous year.
This was accomplished even with the challenge of ongoing road construction projects which typica
lly have an adverse affect on our goal to further reduce such occurrences. Enforcement Initiatives: 2010 4,951 citations, 775 warnings 2011 2,566 citations, 495 warnings (enhanced traffic enforcement underway)
Crime Scene
The Department’s fully functional crime scene component, which began with the conversion of a retired EMS vehicle and the assignment of a trained investigator, continues to develop. The Crime Scene van has the needed equipment to process almost any scene and to collect evidence that may assist in the apprehension of a suspect or suspects. The vehicle is also outfitted to serve as a mobile command post if the need arises. Technology
The Department continues to research methods for staff to work
“smarter” not necessarily “harder.” The Village Information Technology Department worked with crime prevention officers to deploy surveillance technology at key locations to assist the Department with crime prevention and detection. Each police vehicle is equipped with its own laptop for report writing and easy
access to crime and records information. In-car technology includes a CAD alert system, whic
h details significant events.
National Accreditation
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®) proudly announced that on July 30, 2011 the North Palm Beach Police Department received its first national re-accreditation by meeting the commissions highly regarded and broadly recogni
zed body of law enforcement
standards established by CALEA.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 116 of 283
The North Palm Beach Police Department continued in the re-
accreditation process which began 3 years ago after receiving our initial accreditation in 2008.
The accreditation core team continued the daunting challenge of reviewing and insuring compliance with all policies as well as completing inventories and task analysis’ to bring the police department into compliance with the high standards set by CALEA. By choosing to be accredit
ed through CALEA, your Police Department voluntarily accepted the
challenge to meet the most
rigorous set of standards designed for law enforcement in the United States. The Police Department agreed to meet all the standards applicable to the largest size agency defined by CALEA, and to prove compliance with those standards on a continual basis through documentation and inspection. Inspections
occur both internally and every three years by a team of law
enforcement professionals chosen by CALEA from non-bordering
jurisdictions. CALEA standards apply to patrol
, investigations, administration, crime prevention, property and evidence, the Reserves, the Explorers programs, and all areas of Police Department operations.
Communications
The Department has completed an upgrade project in cooperation
with the Village’s Information Technology Department to update and further enhance its own s
ecurity monitoring ability. Additional security cameras were deployed in several Village property locations as pa
rt of this project.
Community Programs:
Explorer Program
The Explorer program is for individuals between the ages of 14 and 18. The participants are introduced to the many facets of law enforcement and emergency services.
The Explorers work hand-in-hand with the Police Officers and assist them in community policing philosophy. The program is directed toward people who have an interest in the field of law
enforcement. Each Explorer must meet certain requirements before being accepted into the program. The program currently has nine (9) participants. Police Reserve Program
The Reserve program is for adult individuals who have an interest in serving their community as part of the Law Enforcement Department. Upon successful completion of applicant processing,
candidates must attend an Academy and pass a state exam to become certified as Auxiliary (Reserve) Officers. They assist
full-time officers in every aspect of their jobs and provide assistance during special events. The program currently has five (5) Reserve Officers. Security Surveys/Home and Business
The Department’s specially trained Community Policing/Crime Prevention staff offer free resi
dential and business security surveys to reduce the chances of a break-in at a residence or business. The officer provides tips about door locks, alarm systems, lighting, landscaping, and other areas that may help prevent the property owner from becoming a victim. The
Department completed forty-one
(41) security surveys in 2011.
Trespass Program
This program allows business owne
rs to sign an affidavit giving
consent for public safety officers to act as an agent, thereby giving them the authority to request people to vacate the premises. After
the affidavit is signed, the owner installs, (at their own expense)
specifically worded “No Trespass” signs in visible locations.
Public Safety Officers must advi
se persons found on the premises
that failure to leave the area may result in arrest. Currently there are thirty-seven (37) properti
es involved in this program.

Combat Auto Theft (C.A.T.) Program
The C.A.T. program is used to fight back against auto theft. Upon
registration (including proof of vehicle ownership and driver’s license) the vehicle owner signs a consent form authorizing Public Safety
Officers to conduct a traffic stop on their vehicle if the vehicle is being operated between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. A yellow C.A.T. sticker is placed on the rear window notifying Police Officers of participation in the program. Currently there are 372 participants enrolled in the C.A.T. program.
Alert Program
Crime and information bulletins are distributed to residents and
business owners to notify them of current crime trends and prevention strategies. The philosophy is to create an atmosphere of awareness that reduces the chances of residents and business owners becoming victims of crime. This prevention strategy is
accomplished by a park, walk, and talk technique and by distributing flyers, faxes, and e-mail. The Department distributed
4,800 flyers in 2011. Cell Phones to Seniors
Cell phones are collected and then given out to senior citizens
throughout the area for emergency use. The Department distributed 60 phones in 2011. Crime Opportunity Cards
A card is issued to a citizen/vehicle/residence if a law enforcement officer observes the opportunity for a potential crime
to occur (i.e. valuables left in plain view, doors unlocked, etc).
This is done in an effort to eliminate the criminal’s opportunity to commit crime and prevent the citizen from becoming a victim.
Gun Lock Program
Free gun locks are given to
residents to keep their homes safe through
secured firearms. The Department distributed 500 gun locks in 2011.
Crime Prevention Meetings
Officers conduct crime prevention meetings throughout the community to learn and discuss what problems may be occurring and ways to help one another combat crime. This is an open dialogue between all parties involved, finding solutions to issues. This program also helps to organize neighborhoods into Crime Watch groups. The Department conducted 160 meetings in 2011. Neighborhood Watch Meetings
Preventing crime in the community is a shared responsibility
between the police and residents.
Neighborhood Watch has been
entrusted with the responsibility of empowering Village residents to keep their neighborhoods safe. Safe neighborhoods and crime prevention education of Village residents is the Department’s challenge and goal. The program encourages Village citizens to become actively involved with the department through practicing crime prevention techniques and reporting crime or suspicious
activity. The Department attended 56 meetings throughout 2011.
Operation Safe Kids
This program is designed to provi
de education and awareness to children about preventable and dangerous situations. This
assembly style presentation teaches children how to identify
potential dangers and to prot
ect themselves from abuse, abduction, and exploitation through a series of interactive
scenarios. The presentation empowers children with the information, tools, and support they need to be safe without frightening them. It teaches them how to use their instincts, intuition, and common sense to
make smart choices, not scared reactions when confronted by danger.

Safety Awareness Training Seminars
The concept behind Safety Awareness training is to empower individuals and to encourage them to work as a team with police officers. Participants are taught how crime prevention relates to them and how to anticipate and recognize their crime-risk potential. Citizens are educated and provided information on a variety of topics including personal safety,
child safety, internet safety, gun safety, identity theft, and how to protect their home and vehicle from burglary. The Department conducted 50 seminars in 2011. We’re Watching Program
This program encourages business owners and employees to “Watch Out” for their business to prevent criminal activity. Workers On Watch (WOW)
This program encourages the many employees of the Village to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity to the police. This program is a cooperative effort between the Department and the other entities within the Village to help prevent crime and assist with quality of life issues.
Child Identification Program
This program is designed to pr
omote the safety of children by
focusing on prevention strategies. The equipment allows the capture of a child’s contact, medical information, photograph and fingerprints. This allows for law enforcement to provide quick
and accurate response in the event of a crisis. A total of 500 children were fingerprinted in 2011. D.A.R.E. Program
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) is offered in community schools by specially trained officers. In 2011 we graduated 100 sixth grade students from the program.
Adopt-A-Family Program
The North Palm Beach Police Department identified local needy families that were referred by local schools and churches to our program. The goal was to provide these families with food,
clothing, gifts, and basic household items during the holiday season. The Department also facilitated contact between these
families and charitable organizations that are able to provide sustained support. This project assisted ten (10) families and 26
children in 2011. Personnel Changes
The personnel/title changes for Fiscal Year 2013 are as follows:
Addition of one (1) part-time CALEA Manager position
Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
Department staff is continually encouraged to think outside of the box, utilize their initiative and remain ever diligent in the ongoing
quest for better service delivery methods. As a result, the Department continues to identi
fy those areas requiring process refinement and remains open to new methodology, innovative ideas, and other enhancements to existing programs. Many of the Department’s ongoing, successful and newly proposed programs are represented in this summary.

Transitional Neighborhood Teams
Transitional Neighborhood teams (TNT
) consist of one detective,
one K-9 Officer, one police offi
cer and one code enforcement officer working part-time towards
the goal of addressing those
transitional neighborhoods identi
fied through crime trends and
quality of life issues as being at
risk portions of the community.
The focus of TNT is to address Section 8 housing fraud in partnership with HUD and the
County housing authority. This approach yields positive results in removing felons from our community.
Increased traffic enforcement in targeted transitional neighborhoods, which leads to other offense enforcement.
Truant interdiction partners TNT with school police and parents engaging on truants who become at risk for committing property crimes when absent from school.
The desired outcome of TNT is neighborhood stabilization and
crime reduction. During Fiscal Year 2011-2012, the Law Enforcement Department achieved the following new initiatives and improvement goals:

Fire Rescue Mission Statement
The North Palm Beach Fire Rescue Department is committed to providing exceptional life safety services through the delivery of quality, professional fire suppression, emergency medical services, fire code enforcement and community education. Service Levels Narrative
The Fire Rescue Department consists of a fire chief, fire captain, a fire inspector, three fire rescue lieutenants, fifteen firefighter/paramedics,
three firefighter/EMT
and eighteen volunteers.
The Fire Chief serves as part of the Village management team reporting to the Village Manager. The Fire Chief manages the
resources of the Fire Rescue Department, performing administrative duties such as budget preparation and long term planning. The Fire Chief coor
dinates with other Village departments, most often Community Development, to minimize conflicts between code issues that might affect projects within the

The Fire Captain serves as training officer and liaison to other fire
and EMS organizations. As such, the Captain represents the department at various countywide association meetings. The Captain arranges training required
to maintain certification and
skills, and maintains the training records necessary to comply with
county and state laws.
The Fire Inspector is responsible for all annual existing business inspections as well as inspecting new construction for code compliance. In addition, the Fire Inspector reviews all building plans and permits for code compliance. The Fire Rescue Lieutenants are each assigned a six-personnel shift. Each shift works a 24-hour on duty/48-hour off-duty schedule with each member having an additional scheduled day off every three weeks; this aver
ages to a 48-hour work week. Mandatory minimum daily staffing is five people, with two on an ambulance and three on a fire engine. The Lieutenants are
responsible for the day-to-day operations; responding to emergency calls, in-house training drills, apparatus and equipment maintenance and station maintenance. The Lieutenants are also called upon to provide public/group tours of the fire station and
present fire safety information to school groups and citizen organizations. Our volunteers are required to hold the same certifications as our

Public Works Mission Statement
To provide the highest quality of service to our citizens and businesses by maintaining Village facilities, grounds and roadways with the most effective and cost efficient methods and by looking after the needs and safety of the community. Service Level Narrative
Public Works is comprised of four divisions: Public Works Administration; Facility & Vehicle Maintenance; Sanitation; and
Street/Grounds Maintenance. It is the responsibility of each of
these divisions to facilitate maintenance of the Village infrastructure while maintaining a focus on the needs, concerns and safety of the residents. The Public Works Administration is comprised of the Director of
Public Works, one (1) full-time Superintendent of Public Works, and one (1) full-time Accounting Cl
erk. The Director of Public
Works oversees and supervises all areas of the Public Works Department, provides professional
managerial oversight to the department and assistance to the Village Administration and the public. The Director is responsible for staffing, scheduling, budgetary controls, and maintainin
g appropriate customer service
levels in the department while overseeing the workflow of the staff. The Director also enfo
rces Village and departmental policies and guidelines to ensure adequate safety procedures are followed and that the Public Works staff is operating as efficiently and productively as possible. The Accounting Clerk assists the Director with the day-to-day operations of the department including processing payroll and invoices, correspondence with contractors and consultants, and
answering inquiries from the public.
The Superintendent of Public Works is responsible for assisting the Director with the oversight of the Public Works Department, focusing specifically on the Facility & Vehicle Maintenance Division. This Division is comprised of one (1) Trades Mechanic III, three (3) Trades Mechanic II’s and three (3) Mechanics. The Division’s Trades Mechanics are responsible for the repair,
maintenance, and overall appearance of Village buildings and facilities including Village Hall, Public Safety, the Library, the Community Center, Anchorage Park and Marina, Osborne Park,
Lakeside Park, Public Works,
the Tennis facility, the Country Club clubhouse, and all Village-owned street lights. The Facility
Maintenance staff constructs and assembles furniture, completes minor office remodeling, monitors building operations, performs
preventive maintenance and makes repairs to HVAC equipment,
electrical, lighting, plum
bing, and street lights.
Facility staff is
also responsible for the appearance (painting and repair) of all
Village buildings and assi
sts in the repair of irrigation pump motors.
The Facilities Division also provides general maintenance for the
Golf Pro Shop, Restaurant/Lounge and Country Club Administrative
offices. These labor charges are then submitte
d to the Country Club
Administration for payment to the Village General Fund. No tax
dollars are utilized for facilities at the North Palm Beach Country Club that fall within the Enterprise Fund. Major Facility Maintenance priorities include:
Continuing to upgrade HVAC systems, replacing older systems to take advantage of newer energy saving models and reducing the impacts of equipment failure;
Developing a street lighting enhancement plan for neighborhood
areas without or with limited nighttime lighting. Lighting themes, style, color and materials would enhance safety and improve the Village’s identity;
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 131 of 283
Investigate energy saving equipment and devices to reduce
electrical consumption
throughout the village;
Research alternatives to existing signage that will enhance communications with village residents; and
Continuing the program for pa
inting, landscaping and lighting facilities to maintain a high quality of appearance.
The Division’s Fleet Maintenance staff maintains and repairs
vehicles and equipment utilized by the Public Safety, Community
Development, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation Departments to ensure that all Village-owned vehicles are maintained at or above
levels recommended by manufacturers. The Village fleet/equipment consists of 98 licensed vehicles and numerous pieces of off-road and small equipment (i.e. chain saws, generators, grinders, pumps, etc.). Another aspect of the division is the renovation of the three wheel carts that are utilized for the collection of garbage in the Village. Fleet provides fabrication and welding for the various departments. This division also maintains various carts used in the driving range operations at the Country Club.
Those labor charges are then
reimbursed by the Country Club.
Major Fleet Maintenance renovation priorities for the proposed
budget include:
Oversight of vehicle purchases to ensure equipment is compatible with its intended use.
The Sanitation Division currently consists of one (1) Supervisor,
six (6) Sanitation Driver/Operators, and twelve (12) Sanitation
Collectors. The Division provides backdoor garbage collection 3-times a week, curbside vegetation and bulk trash items 2-times a week, and curbside recycling once a week. The Village’s Monday
through Friday, 5-days-a-week sanitation service is a unique and costly level of service when compared to surrounding municipalities.
Sanitation continues to be impacted by substantial rises in fuel costs, vehicle maintenance costs, personnel injuries, and the cost
of capital equipment. In the coming years, the Administration will be tasked with providing an alternate way of collecting household garbage and waste throughout the Village. This is partly in response to the fact that the jitneys (which have become so much a part of everyday life in the Village) are no longer being
manufactured; parts are becoming
more difficult to find. The
move to alternate means of collection will be done with an understanding that the residents s
till request side door service. This will require the distribution of wheeled containers that remain at the side of the house. On scheduled collection days, the container will be taken to the street, connected to our truck, dumped and then wheeled back up to the side of the house by
Sanitation staff. Several of the Village’s current packer trucks
have already been retrofitted to accommodate the new wheeled containers. During this coming Fiscal Year the Department will seek to purchase one tandem-axle rear-loadi
ng packer truck to replace the
remaining single axle truck in the fleet. Tandem-axle trucks reduce the number of trips to the landfill which improves staff productivity and lower fuel costs. It also has reduced the number of overweight tickets, which was prevalent with the single axle. The Sanitation Division recognizes the rising costs and impact to
customer service created by workers’ compensation claims. In an
effort to positively affect these areas, the Sanitation Division will continue to discuss, train and promote safety practices and to hold safety programs for staff throughout the year.

The Street Maintenance
Division is comprised of one (1) Supervisor,
two (2) Equipment Operator II’s, three (3) Street/Grounds Maintenance Workers, one (1) Irrigation Tech II, and one (1)
Irrigation Tech I. The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the infrastructure throughout the Village. Work includes preparation of streets for the Village’s annual overlay program; patching potholes; repair and replacement of sidewalks; repair or replacement of traffic signs; addressing line of sight issues at all intersections within Village limits, maintenance of the Village storm drainage system; and administration of NPDES permitting, inspections and reporting requirements. This Division oversees the work of the landscape contractor who is responsible for all landscape maintenance of Village properties, including the various parks. This Division also installs new vegetation as part of the Village’s revitalization program. Further responsibilities include the replacement of landscape material that
is damaged as the result of au
tomobile accidents or vandalism.
During the coming year, Street Maintenance Division plans to:
Develop a median revitalization
plan to provide for visually
attractive landscaping while reducing water consumption;
Continue with the very successful outsourcing of maintenance of all Village parks and landscape areas; and
Be proactive in its approach to the guidelines of the NPDES, which emphasizes monitoring of the Village’s storm water system and to be vigilant for illicit spills and discharges.
The Street Maintenance Division construction and major renovation priorities for this year’s budget include:
Sidewalk replacement due to the impacts, deterioration and damage of Village sidewalks by tree roots, the Division has budgeted funds for outside repair work as needed. This has proved to be a very cost effective process. The contractor has significantly more resources at his disposal, which allow
him to affect a much larger area in a shorter amount of time than could ever be accomplished by the Public Works staff.
Drainage pipe repairs – during the annual NPDES inspections, which look at outfalls and catch basins that are
integral to the storm water runoff, special attention is paid to
the condition and integrity of this complex system.
Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
During Fiscal Year 2011/2012, the Public Works Department achieved the following new initiatives and goals for improvement:
Repaired pipe joint of storm drain system located at 921 Dogwood Road;
Repaired pipe joint in the 54 inch outfall pipe located behind the residence at 937 Laurel Road;
Replaced a/c chiller at the Public Safety facility;
Replaced a/c chiller at the Village Hall facility;
Installed an 8’ pre-cast
wall around the Public Works
property; and
Repaired various sections of damaged sidewalk throughout the village totaling 3,855 lineal feet.

Library Mission Statement
The Village Public Library provides materials, services, and programs for community residents of all ages providing personal
enrichment and enjoyment, and meeting educational needs. The Library has a special mission to
children and their parents to
encourage a love of reading and learning. Service Levels Narrative
Today there are over 40,000 items in the North Palm Beach Library,
3.33 per capita. Formats include print books, large print, DVD, music CD, Books on CD, books in MP3 format, downloadable e-audio books, e-books, magazines and newspapers. We also circulate six (6) e-readers containing current bestsellers and six (6) children’s handheld video players. The North Palm Beach Library is open 60 hours per week, seven days per week. Staff orders, catalogs, and maintains books and materials for the collection, and periodically purges outdated or
worn materials to sell at the annual book sale. Staff processes all borrower registrations and requests and handles oversight of the
on-site meeting room. Library
programs are scheduled throughout the year and include: story times; author lectures; genealogy group
meetings; book discussions; summer reading programs, a foreign film club, and other special events. The Library also offers a variety of reference services including:
simple inquiries; research assist
ance; and inter-library loans of
materials not in the collection. The adult library has two (2) electronic catalog computers and the children’s library has four (4) computers with educational software and games for children. The Library has a Computer Lab
downstairs with sixteen (16) computers available for public use – all of which have genealogy, Microsoft Office and Internet
access. The Library has WI-FI throughout the building. The Obert Room is now used as
additional space for laptop users.
There are 16 staff members (6 full-time employees) in the library;
two are librarians with a Master’s Degree in Library Science.
The implementation of improved, automated, circulation software has
allowed staff to track circulation usage more efficiently and accurately. Previously, some material circulation statistics were tracked manually,
which created a potential for inaccuracies. This helps to explain some of the variance in service levels indicated in prior years.
Library statistics are a valuable, but limited, tool for gauging the
amount of services offered. Circulation statistics tell what has been checked-out; however, they do not indicate the quality of
service being provided. The Library staff maintains a high level
of interaction with our patrons. This has created a unique “brand” for the Village Public Library that is prized by the residents and is difficult to quantify. Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
During Fiscal Year 2012, the Library achieved the following new initiatives and goals for improvement:
The Library replaced eight (8) older computers. Four were purchased with budgeted funds and four were purchased by the Friends of the Library. The Library’s goal is to maintain a regular schedule for hardware replacement to ensure we stay current with the latest technology.
In November 2011, the Library went live with downloadable audio books. We currently offe
r 3,500 titles 24/7 that can be downloaded to a computer or compatible device.
The Library’s annual Mystery Night continues to be a success. Staff is looking to increase the number of similar programs offered next year.

In April, 2012 the Library went
live with downloadable e-books
through membership in the Southeast Florida
Municipal Libraries
Digital Consortium. Patrons can download over 775+ e-books
to a variety of devices.
With a recent upgrade to the Library’s automation system SIRSI and the new “cloud” server, patrons automatically
receive reminders and overdue notifications via e-mail.
In May, 2012, the Library began circulating e-readers pre-loaded with best selling titles.
During the summer of 2011 the Library enlisted 17 teen
volunteers for a total of 345 hours to assist with the children’s summer reading program. The Library anticipates from 20 to 25 teen volunteers during the summer of 2012.
Over 100 children between the ages of 5 and 12 signed up for
the Summer Reading Program in 2011. Special pr
ograms, family
movies, and crafts were offered
during the eight-week session.
In August 2011, the Library signed up its 10,000th
member.
The Library continues a Face
book page to relay current information on library services and programs and encourage feedback. It is anticipated that 2,268 users will have visited the site in the current Fiscal Year.
In FY 2012 it is anticipated that over 2,000 individuals will
have signed up to use the public computers every month.

and equipment not covered through the Library‘s regular
operating budget.

Programming
The Parks & Recreation Department offers a wide variety of
activities, classes, workshops, and leisure opportunities for all ages. Classes, workshops, clinics, and lectures are offered by 45+ independent contractors. Wi
nter, Spring and Summer Camp programs are conducted for youths 4 – 13 years of age. Activities are also offered on days the public schools are not in session.
The Parks & Recreation Department largely utilizes independent
contractors to provide these services. These contractors have agreements with the Village, but are not Village employees and are not eligible for benefits. Additionally, because the fees paid to these contractors are off-set by the revenues they bring into the
Village, and due to the fluctuating nature of the services they provide, an exact count of these positions is not represented on the
Department’s organizational chart. Special Events
The Parks & Recreation Department offers a wide spectrum of special events throughout the year from January’s Car Show & Chili Cook-off to the July 4th
fireworks to the Holiday Lights Trolley rides. The Department also offers seasonal events as well as activities unique to the Village, su
ch as our annual Heritage Day, Puppy Love, Village-Wide Garage Sale, and Arts & Crafts Festival.

North Palm Beach Country Club Mission Statement
The North Palm Beach Country Club (NPBCC) is committed to offering a quality recreational facility to its residents, members and
customers. Its mission is to do so
by maintaining self-sustaining
operations through an integrated combination of pricing, marketing
and operating controls that capitalize on the facility’s ideal locale
adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway, the golf club’s Jack Nicklaus “Signature” course
design, and exemplary customer service that reflect the high ideals of the Club amenities, special
functions and users. Service Levels Narrative – Golf Operation
In November 17, 2006 the North Palm Beach Country Club opened its newly renovated golf course, becoming only the second public municipal golf course in the U.S. to bear the prestigious
moniker of a Jack Nicklaus “Signature” Golf Course. Our Nicklaus “Signature” course offers six (6) sets of tees so each golfer may challenge the course in a manner that is equal to their individual game. The course will play up to 7,071 yards at a par 71. A putting green is locate
d by hole number one and a pitching/chipping green is located by hole number 15 for golfers to
perfect their “short game.” The club also has a members-only short game area on the north side of the maintenance facility. Club golf operations are open seven (7) days-a-week offering
individual, group and clinic instruction from on-staff PGA professionals, monthly tournaments for all levels of skill and experience, and a lighted driving range. The golf shop offers a variety of soft goods, golf accessories and clubs for sale. The Golf Operation is headed up by the Director of Golf Operations. The Director is assisted by one (1) full-time First Assistant Golf
Professional, one (1) full-time Outside Service Coordinator, one
(1) part-time Member Relations Coordinator, one (1) part-time Sales & Marketing Representative, seven (7) part-time Outside
Service Attendants, nine (9) part-time Ranger/Driving Range Attendants, and five (5) part-time Golf Shop Attendants. The operation also has one (1) full-time Accounting Clerk located in the Finance Department in Village Hall. This staffing arrangement
best reflects the customer service needs of the golf club.
The Golf Course Maintenance Division of the Golf Operation is
outsourced to International Golf Maintenance (IGM) of Orlando, Florida. This partnership allows a higher level of conditioning on the Nicklaus “Signature” course layout and realizes a significant
monetary savings to the Village.
The maintenance of the buildings
falls under the supervision of the Public Works Department. Outsourcing the maintenance of the golf course and having Public Works oversee the clubhouse maintenance is the most prudent and fiscally responsible way to operate the facility. The Village Administration anticipates new golfers applying for membership to the Nicklaus “Signature” golf course in the upcoming year. In order to provide reasonable member access to course play while preserving access to “walk-in” guests during high season and holidays, a
maximum of 375 annual golf
memberships will be allowed for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Available memberships will continue to be prioritized as follows:
Renewal of existing club members;
Residents of North Palm Beach;
New members sponsored by existing members in our membership initiative program; and
Non-resident applications.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 191 of 283
In order to maintain the “Signature” course the proposed Golf budget reflects funding for additional trees and sod. These items will be needed to continue the “fine tuning” of the golf course as it moves into its seventh season of play. Personnel Changes – Golf Operation
The personnel/title changes for Fiscal Year 2013 are as follows:
Title change from “Head Golf Professional” to “Director of Golf Operations” for one (1) full-time position.
Service Levels Narrative – Food & Beverage (F&B) Operation
The Country Club Food & Beverage (F&B) Operation is a division
of the North Palm Beach Country Club. F&B works cooperatively with the Golf, Tennis, and Pool Operations to enhance
tournaments, special events and the overall experience at the Club,
and provides services to the general public as well.
North Palm Beach Country Club “Village Tavern” Restaurant, Bar
and Banquet operations are conducted by Village staff under the
direction of the Director of F
ood & Beverage. The Director of Food & Beverage is assisted by (1) full-time Kitchen Manager/Chef, (1) part-time Assistant Restaurant Manager, one (1) part-time Banquet Event Coordinator, fifteen (15) part-time F&B
Service Personnel, four (4) part-time Dishwashers, six (6) part-time Snack Bar Attendants, and four (4) part-time Line Cooks. The Restaurant and Bar is “OPEN” to the public serving the membership and community seven (7) days-a-week with modifiable hours of operation pr
edicated upon seasonal activities and overall profitability. Restaura
nt hours and daily staffing levels
are modified in accordance with seasonal and other business factors to provide attentive and friendly service with an appropriate ratio of service personnel to customers.
Quality food at a competitive value and friendly professional service
is a cornerstone of the Restaurant operation. The “Village Tavern” serves freshly prepared quality cuisine that is targeted to appeal to a variety of consumers. The “Village Tavern”
serves daily specials,
quick food for golfers, and provides a menu on the golf carts for convenient call-ahead service. The “Snack Bar,” located adjacent to the Pool deck, services both the patrons of the pool as well as golfers seeking to purchase quick
food and beverage items dur
ing the summer months.
Beverage Cart services are provi
ded for the Golf Course. Cart
service provides a variety of snacks, sandwiches, and beverage options including alcoholic beverages 7 days a week. The sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages both on the golf course and within the facilities will be strictly regulated in accordance with the prevailing beverage laws. The Banquet Room is available for business meetings, parties, and special events. Food and beverage services are available and are coordinated through the F&B Operatio
n. Banquet services are critical
to the overall success of the F&B Division. The facility fulfills a
niche within the community by
offering a great atmosphere,
beautiful setting, quality food, and great service at an affordable cost. The F&B Division will focus its marketing efforts in the upcoming fiscal year to target the Northern Palm Beach County market area.

Golf Memberships:
The number of golf members is a good indicator of the Club’s overall health as roughly 43%
of total play
is from members. Because most members renew at the beginning of the fiscal year, a substantial amount of the revenue derived from
memberships is received in the first quarter, which helps to cover operating expenses throughout the year.

Country Club Revenues
$3,948,933
The Country Club is operated as a self-supporting
enterprise for which fees charged to users are intended to pay for the full cost of operations. This section includes a discussion regarding revenue
sources for the Village’s FY 2012/13 Country Club Budget. The major source of Country Club revenues (approx 69%) are derived from golf memberships, cart rentals, gr
eens fees, and the driving range.
The budgeted revenues are estimated based on the number of memberships, plays, and cart rentals over past years; fees for these
items are adjusted yearly to accommodate the estimated budgeted expenses of the Country Club Operations.
The following assumptions were used when preparing the Country Club Golf Revenue Estimates:
48,000 anticipated rounds
274 memberships
Membership $623,580
Golf Memberships represent 15.79% of total Country Club Revenues
and are based on type of membership:
Resident
138 memberships $345,870Non-Resident 66 memberships 229,900Summer 58 memberships 44,210Junior 12 memberships 3,600Golf Plus 12 memberships Included in above Total $623,580
Cart Rental/Walking Fee $976,920
This class of revenue represents 24.74% of th
e overall Country Club Revenues. The calculation is based on anticipated rounds:
Average cart fee per round played (excluding walkers) ($21.35 x 44,000) = $939,400
Walking Fees ($9.38 x 4,000 rounds) = $37,520
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 200 of 283
Greens Fees
$912,480
Greens Fees represent 23.11% of total Country Club Revenues and
are calculated based on current year average dollar per round
multiplied by anticipated rounds for FY 2013:
Average dollar per round played x anticipated rounds ($19.01 x 48,000) = $912,480
Driving Range $209,026
Driving Range revenue represents 5.29% of total Country Club Revenues and is based on a three-year average.
Food & Beverage $821,300
Historically, the Food & Beverage operation has been contracted
out to an outside vendor. In May of 2010, the Village assumed the
daily operations for the North Palm Beach Country Club Restaurant. Revenue from the Food & Beverage operation represents 20.80% of total Country Club Revenues and is calculated based on the current year sales average:

Village of North Palm Beach
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council FROM: Ed Green, Village Manager DATE: July 26, 2012 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan Fiscal Year 2012/2013
This Comprehensive Pay and Classifi
cation Plan (“Pay Plan”) reflects
all authorized Village employment position classifications and their
related salary ranges for all Village employees for the Fiscal Year starting October 1, 2012. This Pay Plan also reflects employment benefits provided to employees
unless separately negotiated in
collective bargaining agreements. Village management reviews this Pay Plan annually and makes recommendations on the classifications and pay ranges for all positions to maintain appropriate staffing resources in relation to competitive market conditions and the needs of our annual Village budget/operating structure. The attached Pay Plan proposal has been
incorporated into the Manager’s proposed budget for the coming Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2012. Pay Plan Recommendations
This year’s Pay Plan includes:
Provides for an average 3.75% performance-based merit
increases (0% to 5%) for FPE-eligible and non-union personnel;
Provides for negotiated step-plan increases for PBA a
nd IAFF-eligible
employees as negotiated in their collective bargaining agreements;
Provides no
COLA/market-based adjustment;
Provides for annual employer pension contributions; and
Provides for monthly employer and employee health/dental
insurance contributions.
Provides for employer-sponsored Life, Accide
ntal Death & Dismemberment (ADD), Long Term Disability (LTD), and Short Term Disability (STD) plans. Vision coverage is available at full
employee expense.
Recommended Personnel Changes:
The Pay Plan reflects proposed changes in Village employment
positions including as follow:
Additions / Deletions:
Add
one (+1) Kitchen Manager/Chef f/t position (pay grade 20) / Delete one (-1) Chef p/t position (pay grade 17); Delete one (-1)

Pension:
The Village’s annual employer contribution increased for both the General Employee Pension Plan and the Police & Fire Pension Plan
for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. The Village’s ICMA-RC pensions remain constant at an employer contribution of 15%. Last year, the Village’s required employer contribution for the General Employee Pension Plan was 19.57%. For Fiscal Year 2012/2013, the
Village’s annual required employer contribution is 19.86%, or up by .29%.
For the Police & Fire Pension Plan the required annual employer contribution for Fiscal Year 2012/2013 increased from 20.03%, to 20.22% or up by .19%. The reasons for these increases are base
d on asset returns
and actuarial experience. All budgeted plan contributions are outlined below:
For General Employees Pension Plan:
Employer contribution 19.86% Employee contribution 6.0%
For Police and Fire Pension Plan:
Employer contribution 20.22% Employee contribution 2.0%
For ICMA-RC Pension Plan :
Employer contribution 15% Employee contribution 3%, 5%, 10% or 15% Health / Dental Insurance:
In order to secure the most advantageous renewals possible for the Village and its employees, Village Administration worked with our insurance
broker to send out an RFP for our employee health and welfare benefits in June of 2012. Due to significantly large claims experience in the past year, several insurance vendors declined to quote for our employee business. Our current vendor Humana proposed a 17.3% increase. CIGNA proposed similar medical plans for a 4.5% increase. The Village was offered these favorable rates wi
th the understanding that we would
agree to move all employee health and welfare plans (Medical, Dental, Life, ADD, LTD and STD) to CIGNA. Increases in medical insurance are driven by both the Village’s individual claims experience rating and the increasing costs within the
health care industry as
a whole. The best way to combat these rising
costs is to implement a robust employee wellness program. With the
support of the Sr. Management Team, the Village will be partnering with CIGNA to build upon our curr
ent wellness program and encourage
wellness awareness for all of our employees and their dependents.
Historically, the Village covers the full premium cost of the lower priced health and dental plans fo
r all employees. For dependent coverage, the Village funds 80% of the premium for the lower cost plan and the balance is paid by the employee. Employees choosing higher cost plan options
will pay 100% of the premium cost difference between the higher and lower cost plans. Projected monthly employee costs are as follow: Health Insurance
:
CIGNA HMO Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 0.00 per month Employee + One Coverage $102.97 per month Employee + Family Coverage $216.14 per month CIGNA POS Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 43.46 per month Employee + One Coverage $189.88 per month Employee + Family Coverage $350.80 per month Dental Insurance
:
CIGNA HMO Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 0.00 per month Employee + Family Coverage $ 5.42 per month CIGNA PPO Plan Employee Only Coverage $15.40 per month Employee + Family Coverage $58.07 per month
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 217 of 283
The above monthly employee rates are based upon total monthly plan costs to the Village per employee as follows: Health Insurance
:
CIGNA HMO Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 514.87 per month Employee + One $ 926.77 per month Employee + Family Coverage $1,379.44 per month CIGNA POS Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 514.87 per month Employee + One $ 926.77 per month Employee + Family Coverage $1,379.44 per month Dental Insurance
:
CIGNA HMO Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 16.68 per month Employee + Family Coverage $ 38.34 per month CIGNA PPO Plan Employee Only Coverage $ 16.68 per month Employee + Family Coverage $ 38.34 per month
RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends Council consideration and adoption of the Village’s Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan
as follows and with the above incorporated changes.

FISCAL YEAR 2012/2013
VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PAY AND CLASSIFICATION PLAN
SECTION 1.
ESTABLISHMENT
A Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan for the Village of North Palm Beach (the “Pay Plan”), pertaining to all positions, including those that may be specified elsewhere in negotiated collective bargaining agreements or individual employment contracts, is hereby established. This document will supersede and replace the pay related provisions of the Village’s Personnel Rules and Regulations. SECTION 2.
DEVELOPMENT OF PAY RANGES
The Pay Plan establishes pay ranges (grades) for each classification. Such established salary ranges of pay have been determined with due
regard to ranges of pay for other classes, relative difficulty and responsibility of positions in the class, prevailing rates of pay for similar positions, and the financial position of the Village and other economic considerations. Appendix A sets forth the pay ranges
(grades) with minimum and maxi
mum levels. Base pay is, by
definition, the pay level within pay range for each position classification. Base pay may not
exceed the maximum pay rate for the position classification. For General (non-bargaining unit) Employees the Pay Plan provides for a pay range, without regard to specific pay level within that range. Adjustments shown to salary ranges for FPE, PBA and IAFF positions are reflected for budgeting purposes and will be subject to bargaining. SECTION 3.
APPLICABILITY
All employees of the Village of North Palm Beach, except as provided elsewhere, shall be compensated in accordance with this plan and the exempt (salaried) and non-exempt positions, depending upon job classification.
SECTION 4.
IMPLEMENTATION
The new pay plan will be implemented October 1, 2012. No general
(non-union) employees will receive a cost of living adjustment (COLA) effective October 1, 2012. The pay range (grade) of each
General Employee shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2012/2013,
as reflected in the attached classification plan. Bargaining unit employees shall receive base wage increases only in accordance with their collective bargaining agreement. SECTION 5.
HIRING PAY RATES
The minimum rate established for a job class shall be paid upon employment, except that the "New-Hired" rate in amounts above the
minimum may be authorized if the department head submits adequate written justification and such action is approved by the
Village Manager. Approval will be based on the exceptional qualifications of the appointee or inability to employ adequate
personnel at the minimum rate. SECTION 6.
MERIT INCREASE
All employees of the Village of North Palm Beach, except as provided elsewhere, shall be eligible for a merit increase on their employee anniversary date. The anniversary date shall be defined as
the employee's entry date into his/
her present position. After the one
(1) year period in their present position, employees shall be eligible for a merit increase, as defined herein, and shall be eligible at their
annual anniversary date every
year from that time forward.
Employees may be granted such merit increase from zero to five
percent (0-5%) of salary, based upon documented and demonstrated
workplace performance as recommended by the employee’s Supervisor and Department Director
. All merit increases shall be submitted to the Village Manager (or Human Resources Department) for review, consideration and written approval prior to discussion or delivery to the employee.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 219 of 283
Merit increases are not
automatic. Such merit increase is contingent upon receipt of a satisfactory performance evaluation. Employees
who are at the maximum or exceed the maximum pay for their
classification will not
be eligible for a merit increase in their present Pay Plan classification, but ma
y be eligible for a lump sum performance bonus. The Village Manager shall approve merit increases equal to or greater than 4.5%. Contractual provisions will
govern bargaining unit employee merit increases.
Lump Sum Performance Bonus: Employees whose compensation is equal to the maximum annual pay range for their position shall be eligible for the annual performance incentive bonus program. Annual performance review bonuses would be paid lump-sum based upon written recommendation and documentation from the Department Head; subject to written approval of the Village Manager or designee as follows: Exceptional Level II performance review rating - $ 1,200 Successful Level I through Ex
ceptional Level I performance
review rating - $ 900 Development Required through Below Standards
performance review rating - $ 0 The bonus payment shall not be included in an employee’s regular base rate of pay and shall not be ca
rried forward in subsequent years.
SECTION 7. PROMOTIONS, DEMOTIONS, TRANSFERS, AND RECLASSIFICATIONS
In the event of a promotion to a higher pay range (grade), employees
will be placed in the new position’s pay range (grade) at a base pay level that does not exceed more than 10% of the base pay level they
occupy in their current pay range not to exceed the pay range maximum. Upon the written recommendation of the Department Director and written approval by the Village Manager, an employee that is within
two (2) months of their existing anniversary / annual review date may receive a merit increase prior to the implementation of their recommended promotion. Bargaining unit employees shall receive promotional increases
in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.
In the event of an involuntary demotion an employee will be placed in the same relative position for the lower position grade as he/she enjoyed in the previous classifi
cation, as long as the pay does not decrease more than 10%. For a voluntary demotion to a lower pay range (grade), employee shall be placed in the same relative position
for the lower position grade while having their current pay “frozen”
at their current level – with future pay adjustments being used to “offset” this higher pay level until fully absorbed. In the event an employee is transferred to a position with the same pay grade, their rate of pay will remain the same. The Village retains the right to evaluate and if appropriate, make
personnel classification ch
anges (reclassifications) when appropriate
in support of providing the most cost effective and efficient delivery of municipal services to the residents of the Village. SECTION 8.
PART-TIME PAY & MERIT INCREASE
Part-time employees shall be paid the hourly wage as outlined in the
attached Pay Plan, at the pay range (grade) minimum unless otherwise recommended by the Department Director, and approved
by the Village Manager. Permanent Part-Time employees (who must be scheduled annually for work in more than 46 or more weeks) shall be eligible for a merit increase upon receipt of a satisfactory evaluation. Part-time employees who leave Village employment and are subsequently rehired, are not considered to have continuous service, and are eligible for a merit increase annually based upon their rehire date.
Seasonal part-time employees (scheduled during a 12-month period work for less than 46 weeks), who have worked during the past
season and return for the upcomi
ng season, may be eligible for a merit increase at the beginning of the upcoming season, when prior employment ended due to Village operational direction. Those employees who leave employment prior to the end of the season and
may later be rehired by the Village, are considered new employees and not eligible for a merit increase upon their rehire date.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 220 of 283
SECTION 9.
OVERTIME/COMPENSATORY TIME
Overtime is authorized by the Village Manager or Department Heads. Overtime is paid to hourly employees at one and one-half (1½) times the hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per week. Upon prior approval of the Department Head or the
Village Manager hourly employees may receive compensatory time off for any work performed in excess of the regularly scheduled hours in a normal work week at one and one-half (1½) hours for
every hour for overtime hours worked. Compensatory time for hourly employees shall accrue to no
more than sixty (60) hours. Unused accrued compensatory time shall be paid upon termination of employment. Bargaining unit empl
oyees shall receive overtime and compensatory time in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated. SECTION 10.
WORK ASSIGNMENTS
– HIGHER PAY GRADE
The Village administration recommends creating a pay system for General employees who work in an established higher pay grade classification. If a General employee is authorized and directed by the Village Manager or designee to temporarily work in an established higher pay grade classification, the employee shall be paid five percent (5%) above thei
r base pay rate for the period of
time worked in the higher pay grade classification. Increases for temporary work assignments that do not conform to established pay grade classifications are handled on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Village Manager. SECTION 11.
BENEFIT ELIGIBILITY
Employees in full-time, budgeted positions [regularly scheduled to
work thirty (30) or more hours per week or an excess of 1,560 hours within the fiscal year] are eligible for participation in the Village’s pension plans, health and dental
insurance, long-term disability
insurance, and employer paid life insurance programs according to the requirements of these plans/programs.
Permanent part-time employees [who work less than thirty (30) hours per week or less than 1,560 hours per fiscal year] are not eligible to
participate in the Village’s pension plans, health and dental
insurance, long-term disability insurance, employer paid life insurance programs, and sick leave incentive programs. SECTION 12.
MISCELLANEOUS
BENEFITS/INCENTIVES
Pension Contributions – The Village’s annual required employer
pension contributions for General Employee Pension employees will
be 19.86% of payroll, 20.22% of payroll for Police & Fire Pension
employees, and 15% of payroll for ICMA-RC Pension employees. The definition and limitations of earnings shall be as outlined in each
respective Village Pension Plan. 457 Deferred Compensation Contributions – The Village will
match a non-union, full-time employee’s 457 Deferred Compensation plan through ICMA-RC
based on a contribution rate
of 50-cents for every dollar of employee contribution – up to a monthly Village contribution limit of $60 mo. ($720 yr.) and paid on
a bi-weekly basis. Bargaining unit employees shall receive deferred
compensation accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated. Short Term Disability Insurance
– The Village will incorporate a short-term disability plan for all full-time benefit eligible employees, unless otherwise negotiated. This item is still under consideration
as an optional employee-paid benefit. The final, adopted budget will be adjusted to delete the employer cost for this option.
Long Term Disability Insurance
– The Village’s long-term disability shall continue for all full-time employees, unless otherwise negotiated.
Life Insurance – The Village life insurance program for all full-time
employees shall continue to be a level equivalent to the maximum level allowed by IRS regulations before imputing added employee compensation ($50,000, or $25,000 after the age of 70), unless
otherwise negotiated.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 221 of 283
Sick Leave Incentive Award Program – Regular full-time (non-
probationary) general employees who do not use any sick leave within any continuous (6) six-month period are eligible to earn eight (8) hours annual leave time as incentive for not using sick leave.
Bargaining unit employees shall receive sick leave incentive(s) in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement,
unless otherwise negotiated. Certification Incentive - The certification incentive program will
continue to provide certification pay for job related certifications as recommended by the Department Head and approved by the Village Manager. Certification incentive pay will be issued as follows:
Certifications requiring an examination and continuing education - $1,000
Certifications requiring continuing education and no examination - $1,000
Certification requiring an examination with no continuing education - $500
The maximum number of certifications eligible for the certification
incentive will be three (3) per individual. The certification incentive
will not be included in the base pay rate, and payment will be prorated based on the standard pay cycle. Employees whose base
pay plus other types of pay compensation has reached the pay range maximum will be ineligible for certification pay above the pay range maximum. For certification requiring renewal or continuing
education, the employee is required to meet the appropriate renewal
and to have the certification renewed in order to continue receiving the certification incentive pay. In addition, if an employee receiving EMT certification is promoted to a Paramedic position, the EMT certification pay will be removed.
Health/Dental Insurance Benefit - For all full-time employees, the Village will pay full cost of the lower-cost single coverage and 80% of the lower-cost employee plus one (+1) for health insurance and family coverage for health and dental insurance. Employees shall pay all costs above the Village payment of above coverage including any increased premium expense of the higher-cost health/dental plans
the employee may choose to select. Employees will have health and dental insurance premiums taken through the payroll process on a twice monthly basis. Flexible Spending Account
– The Village’s Flexible Spending Account provides employees the ability to voluntarily set aside tax-
deferred compensation for authorized personal expenses such as medical and child care expenses. Tuition Refund Program
– The Village shall follow a tuition refund program that provides a maximum be
nefit of $400 per semester for
technical or undergraduate classes and $450 per semester for graduate classes. The reimbursement amount depends on the cost of the class and the grade received. Employees must request approval
for a course prior to the start of the course (at the time of enrollment)
and then must submit proof of tuition amount paid and official grade report within thirty (30) days
of successful completion of the course(s). The Village will make all approved payments within sixty (60) days of receipt of
the necessary paperwork.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - The Village offers an Employee Assistance Program through McLaughlin Young. The program offers various counseling and referral services and currently
provides for three (3) free counseling sessions per year for each employee or qualified dependent.

Capital Improvement Plan INTRODUCTION
Municipal government provides needed and desired se
rvices to the
public and in order to provide these services, the Village must
furnish and maintain capital facilities and equipment. This is accomplished through the use of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The CIP is a five year projection of future improvements to existing
facilities, the acquisition of land and buildings, construction of new facilities and major equipment purchases. This includes the regular
replacement of equipment such as vehicles and computer hardware/software. The Village Council adopts the five year plan as a part of the annual budgeting process. The first year of the plan is
then formally adopted as part of the Annual Budget for the current year; it is the only year for which funding may legally be appropriated.
Future years’ funding requirements are identified,
but are not authorized. The Village of North Palm Beach defines a “capital outlay” as the
cost(s) associated with the acquisition of land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements,
construction in progress, machinery and equipment, vehicles and infrastructure, and other tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have an initial useful life extending beyond a single reporting period. Capital assets and infrastructure are capitalized and depreciated as outlined in the capitalization table below:
Capitalization Threshold Table:
Capitalize and Depreciate
Land Capitalize only
Land improvements
$25,000
Building $50,000 Building Improvements
$50,000
Construction in Progress
Capitalize only
Machinery & Equipment
$5,000
Vehicle $5,000 Infrastructure $250,000 Capital outlays of $10,000 or more are included in the CIP.
The plan places projects [valued at $10,000 or more]
in priority
order, and schedules the projects for funding and implementation. As
presented, it is a five-year forecast that allows the Village to plan ahead for its new capital and renewal and replacement needs. Programming capital requirements over time can promote better use of the Village’s financial resources, reduce costs and assist in the coordination of public and pr
ivate development. Careful management of its assets keeps the Village poised for flexible and responsive strategic planning that a
llows the Village to proactively
prepare the groundwork for capital projects so when funding opportunities arise, a plan is ready to be implemented. By looking beyond year-to-year budgeting and pr
ojecting what, where, when
and how capital investments should be made, capital planning
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 230 of 283
enables the Village to maintain an effective level of service for the present and future population. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The result of this continuing planning process is the CIP, which is the Village’s five-year roadmap for creating, maintaining, and funding present and future capital requirements. The CIP serves as a
planning instrument in conjunction with the Village Comprehensive Plan and the Village Council’s Goals to identify needed capital
projects and coordinate the financ
ing and timing of improvements in a way that maximizes the return to the public. It provides a planned
systematic approach to utilizing the Village financial resources in the
most responsive and efficient manner to meet its service and facility needs. It serves as the “bluepri
nt” for the future of the community and is a management and planning tool. The underlying strategy of the CIP is
to plan for capital expenditures
necessary for the safe and efficient provision of public services in accordance with Village policies and objectives adopted in the
Village’s Comprehensive Plan. It involves conducting needs assessments and allowing for flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for capital investment. Capital planning decisions are
made based on an analysis of each project which includes: cost versus benefits, capital renewal strategies, repair-versus-replacement costs and new service demands. A
critical element of a balanced
CIP is the provision of funds to
both preserve or enhance existing facilities and provide new assets to respond to changing service
needs. While the program serves as the long range plan, it is reviewed and revised annually in conjunction with
the budget. Projects and their
scopes are subject to change as the needs of the community become more defined and projects move cl
oser to final implementation.
Priorities may be changed due to funding opportunities or circumstances that cause a more rapid deterioration of an asset.
Projects may be revised for significant costing variances. The adoption of the CIP is neither a commitment to a particular project nor a limitation to a particular cost. As a basic tool for
scheduling anticipated capital projects, it is a key element in
planning and controlling future capital financing. When adopted, the CIP provides the framework for the
Village’s management team and the Village Council with respect to investment planning, project
planning and managing any debt. CIP REVIEW
The Village Manager is responsible for reviewing capital project requests and providing recommenda
tions to the Village Council.
Each department submits requests for its capital funding requirements to the Village Manager. These requests could be for something as minor as the purchase
of a piece of equipment to the
complete rebuild/new installation of a piece of infrastructure. The Village Manager, along with the Finance Director and Department Head, conduct an in-depth analysis of the impact of the CIP on cash
flow and financial obligations, as well as the Village’s ability to finance, process, design and ultimately maintain projects. The fiscal impact for each individual project (including future maintenance and replacement costs), is also analyzed. The overall goal is to develop CIP recommendations that:
FY

Budget
Page 231 of 283
Preserve the past, by investi
ng in the continued upgrade of Village assets and infrastructure;
Protect the present with improve
ments to Village facilities
and infrastructure;
Plan for the future.
CIP CRITERIA & CATEGORIES
The CIP is developed through input by professional staff, citizens of North Palm Beach, and elected Village officials. There are typically
more proposals than can be funded in the five-year CIP period, so the projects are evaluated and ranked in order of priority according
to the following guidelines: a)
Whether the proposed project is financially feasible, in terms of its impact upon Village budget potential;
b)
Whether the project is needed
to protect public health and safety, to fulfill the Village’s legal commitment to provide facilities and services, or to pr
eserve, achieve full use of, or
increase the efficiency of existing facilities;
c)
Whether the project represents a logical extension of facilities and services within a designated Village Planning
Area; and
d)
Whether or not the proposed project is consistent with plans
of State agencies and the South Florida Water Management.
Further, the projects are broken
down into the following categories:
1.
The project is urgent and/
or mandated, and must be
completed quickly. The Village could face severe consequences if the project is delayed, possibly impacting the public health, safety, and we
lfare of the community, or
having a significant impact on the financial well being of the Village. The project must be initiated or financial/opportunity losses will result.
2.
The project is important and addressing it is
necessary. The
project impacts safety, law enforcement, public health, welfare, economic base, and/or quality of life in the
community.
3.
The project would enhance the quality of life and would provide a benefit to the community. Completion of the project would improve the community providing cultural,
recreational, and/or aesthetic effects.
4.
The project would be an improvement to the community, but need not be completed within a five-year CIP. Based on the criteria and category, the project is either included in
the CIP or excluded. CIP POLICIES
The Village will adopt the first year of a multi-year plan for
capital improvements, update it annually and make every attempt to complete all capital improvements in accordance with the plan.
The Village will coordinate the development of the CIP budget with the development of the operating budget to ensure future operating expenditures and revenues associated
with new capital improvements will be projected and incorporated into the current and future operating budgets.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 232 of 283
The Village will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the Village’s capital investment and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
In making or providing of capital improvements, The Village
shall not incur a general obligation debt requiring the full faith and credit and taxing power of the Village that exceeds five (5%) of the property tax base of the Village. For Fiscal Year 2013, this amounts to $74.31 million. The Village has no general obligation debt.
CIP FINANCING/FUNDING ALTERNATIVES
Capital improvements may be funded by a variety of means depending on the nature of the project, availability of funds, and the
policies of Village Council. Financing decisions are made based on established Village policies and available financing options directly related to project timing and choice of revenue sources. The funding methodology for the CIP is relia
nt upon available resources
including regular operating funds, funds from grants and user fees, useful life of the improvement, and sharing the costs between current and future users. While some projects can be delayed until funds
from existing revenues are available, others cannot. The Village explores all options such as ad
valorem taxes, grants, developer contributions, user fees, bonds, loans, and undesignated reserves to fund improvements. The following financing sources are available
to fund the CIP:
Ad Valorem Taxes:
The Village does not use these funds as a
debt security due largely to the required electoral approval (voter referendum) prior to issuance. Property taxes are
directly linked to the assessed
value of individual property,
not to the consumption of specific goods and services.
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues:
These types of revenues can be
pledged to support various types of bond issues. Such bonds
are similar to general obligation bonds in that proceeds are often used for general government purposes and repayment is
unrelated to the revenue generating capacity of the project
being financed. However, unlike general obligation bonds,
non-ad valorem revenue bonds are payable solely from revenues derived from the pledged revenue (such as sales tax,
local option fuel tax, and the guaranteed portion of municipal
sharing).
User Fees and Charges: These revenues include a variety of license and permit fees, facility and program fees, and fines.
They are rarely used as debt
security for non-Enterprise Fund capital projects, but could be a source of direct funding of a
small capital improvement.
Enterprise Fund User Fees:
These revenues are derived from self-supporting business enterprises (Country Club) which
provide services in return fo
r compensation. The enterprise revenue used to secure debt is commonly termed “net-revenue” consisting of gross revenues less operating costs.
Note:
A written, short-term promise to repay a specified amount of principal and interest on a certain date, payable from a defined source of anticipated revenue. Usually notes mature in one year or less. Rarely used by the Village.
FY
2013 Proposed
Budget
Page 233 of 283
Commercial Paper:
Generally defined as short term, unsecured promissory notes i
ssued by organizations of recognized credit quality, usually a bank. Rarely used by the Village.
Grant: Contribution or gift of
cash or other asset from
another government to be used or expended for a specific
purpose, activity or facility.
Developer Contributions: Monies paid by developers in lieu
of land dedications. These contributions are used for parks and recreational purposes.
Undesignated Reserves: Unrestricted funds remaining from
prior years which are available for appropriation and expenditure.
Bond:
An issuer’s obligation to repay a principal amount on a certain date (maturity date) with interest at a stated rate. Bonds are distinguishable from notes in that notes mature in a much shorter time period.
General Obligation Bonds: A bond secured by the full faith and credit of the Village’s ad valorem taxing power. These are not used by the Village due to the requirement for a voter referendum. Revenue Bonds:
Bonds payable from a specific revenue source, not the full
faith and credit of an
issuer’s taxing power and require no electoral approval. Pledged revenues are often generated by the operating or project being financed.
The administrative ability to seek and utilize the best possible
source, or combination of sources, from the various alternatives for financing Capital Improvements can maximize the Village’s Capital Improvement Plan, saving the cost of inefficiencies, which occur from not adequately addressing capital needs. The future development, growth and general well being of our citizens is directly related to an affordable and realistic Capital Improvement Plan. THE CIP SCHEDULE AND PROJECT LISTS The CIP includes a comprehensive listing of all projects contained in
the Five-Year CIP. Detailed projec
t request forms are contained in
the plan for those projects included in the first year of the CIP. These request forms list the capital item to be undertaken or purchased, the estimated impact on the operating budget, and the method of financing the project.
Projects included in the CIP were evaluated based on the criteria mentioned above. Application of th
ese criteria ensures that each
project recommended for Council consideration does indeed support
the policy objectives of the Village’s long-term planning documents and identifies a basis for scheduling and allocation of resources. The Fiscal Year 2013-2017 CIP recommends a total investment
of $9.07 million in the Village of North Palm Beach’s capital facilities and equipment during a five-year period. The first year
(2013) is the most active and impor
tant year of the CIP. The
remaining four years of the CIP lists the capital projects that will be done in the future and their estimated cost. The total budget (which
will be included in the departmental capital outlay allocation in
FY

with modern units.SCBA cylinders, and limits the lifetime of our cylinders to 15 years. Our cylinders will reach that limit before the end of the next budget cycle. Our SCBAs are regulated by NFPA 1981 which is on its third revision since our current SCBAs were purchasedmaking them obsolete.The SCBA warranty expires this budget cycle which will increaserepair and maintenance costs.
