The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Award Presentation Award to the
Village of North Palm Beach, Florida for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as
a financial plan, and as a communication device.
This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to
GFOA to determine its eligibility for an award in 2012.

As a financial plan, the budget outlines how much Village
services will cost and how they will be funded. The Budget
Summary provides an overview of the budget, including
major revenue and expenditure categories.
3. The Budget as an Operations Guide:
As an operations guide, the budget indicates how services

The Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Village of North Palm Beach
North Palm Beach, Florida 33408
RE: Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Annual Budget
To Honorable Village Mayor and Council,
I am pleased to share this Fiscal Year 2011 /2012 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 provides for improvements to our Village management
organization structure and 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 reflects our Village
managerial and oversight responsibilities as outlined by the
Administration's department organizational structure (organizational
charts). This managerial structure reflects assignment of operating and
oversight responsibilities among Village departmental areas. The
budget's organization charts reflect 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 reflect
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= nnpborg).
Budp-et Goals
The Village obtains a major portion of its annual general fund financial
resources (56.54 %) from ad valorem property taxes. The Village does
not assess many of the traditional taxes that other municipalities use for
generating revenue, but rather, it primarily depends on ad valorem taxes
to fund services. Residents are not assessed additional taxes for utility,
solid waste, storm water, or fire rescue. The Village has opted to pay
for these services out of existing ad valorem assessments.
The preparation of this budget document was more difficult than any
time in the past primarily 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 FY2007/2008 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 10 of 285
• Amendment One: In FY2007/2008 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.
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 FY2011/2012 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 & 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 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 $1,495,282,994
(valued as of July 2011). This is a decrease of $48,025,426 or 3.11%
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
insure the best and economically provided for community
service.
• To 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 Undesignated, Unappropriated Fund balance is
viewed by the Administration as a barometer of Village financial
stability. 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
Undesignated, Unappropriated Fund Balance at September 30,
2010 is $10.44 million, which represents 59% of the Fiscal Year
2011/2012 General Fund Budget.
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
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 12 of 285
Village employee compensation and benefits (accounting for
roughly 75.04% of the Village General Fund budget).
Budget HiEhli2hts:
The FY2011/2012 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 verity 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.
Public Works improvements include funding for the replacement of
A/C chiller units at Village Hall and Public Safety. These A/C units
are showing severe signs of wear and tear and could pose significant
disruption to the Village should there be an unanticipated failure.
The replacement cost for these two units is $111,600. Public Works
also plans to take steps to improve neighborhood lighting in areas
identified as having acute need throughout the Village. 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 $1,477,508 — or approximately 1.04 mils of the
Village's 6.9723 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
substantially reduce its ad valorem millage rate — 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. In
2008 and again in 2011 the Village's Police Department was
awarded the coveted CALEA National Accreditation for law
enforcement agencies. The Police budget includes funding for the
purchase / replacement of needed marked patrol vehicles.
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.
The Human Resources Department, over this past year, assisted with
workforce reduction strategies, employee healthcare procurement,
and risk management. Union related matters were also successfully
addressed with emphasis placed on legal reporting and the providing
for a consistent managerial oversight of all Village personnel
matters. With the acquisition of the Restaurant at the Country Club,
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 13 of 285
new staff hiring and processing continues to task this relatively
small department.
The Administration continues with its implementation of an optical
records storage system which will be ongoing. 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. Optical storage systems have become 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 remain the same as
current year's rate of 6.9723 mils. This millage rate reflects a
decrease in tax revenues of $318,105 or 3.11% when compared to
the current fiscal year. There is a minimal increase of $11,472 or
0.07% 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 6.9723 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 Staffine and Benefits
The FY 2011/2012 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 effect a significant number of employees as most of those
types of personnel changes have been made in prior years. 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.
While no significant position eliminations have been proposed, there
are isolated personnel changes recommended to provide for
improvements to our Village management organization structure.
The proposed budget includes the elimination of the Director of
Public Safety position in favor of a Chief of Police who would
oversee the Law Enforcement Department and the elimination of an
Administrative Fire Rescue Lieutenant position in favor of a Fire
Captain position to provide a much - needed organizational hierarchy
in the Fire Rescue Department.
The Country Club budget continues to be positively impacted as a
result of the "outsourcing" of the Golf Course Maintenance
component which was contracted out at the beginning of Fiscal Year
2007/2008 to IGM. The Village renewed the contract with IGM for
Fiscal Years 2009/2010 & 2010/2011 with a significant realized
annual savings. There will be no increase in that service contract for
FY2011/2012.
Village part -time position changes generally reflect added staff that
work and are paid only on as- needed basis. The number of positions
authorized will not result in any increase to budget costs (similar to
expanding a list of substitute teachers).
During FY2009/2010 the Village assumed administrative and
operational oversight of the Country Club Restaurant. That
budgetary impact has been reflected in the FY2011/2012 Country
Club budget.
The Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan provides for no
market wage adjustment for FY2011/2012 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 performances.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 14 of 285
Retirement contribution levels for General employees and FPE staff
will decrease from 20% to 19.57% in the coming year while
employee contributions remain at 6 %. Retirement rates for Police
and Fire will increase from 17.86% to 20.03% while employee
contributions are planned to remain at a level of 2 %. FPE and
Police & Fire pension matters are subject to the Village's collective
bargaining negotiations — with all three contracts expiring on
September 30, 2013.
Over the past two years Administration successfully negotiated the
closure of the General Employee "Defined Benefit" Retirement Plan
for all new hires. The new Plan available to incoming personnel will
be a "Defined Contribution" Plan or ICMA RC with a required 3, 5,
10 or 15% contribution by the participating employee. The Village's
required contribution is fixed at 15 %.
Debt Administration
The Village, in FY2009/2010, 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
Unreserved 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

Budget Conclusion
The FY2011/2012 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 FY2011/2012 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 FY2011/2012 budget
recommends the following operational funding:
• Establish the Village Operating " Millage Rate" at 6.9723 mils
which is the Village's current FY 2010/2011 Millage Rate.
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 were held during the months of
July, August, and September where Council has meticulously
poured through the substance and content of this Budget. All
refinements are incorporated in this "Final" FY2011 /12 Annual
Budget document.
Respectfully submitted,
James Titcomb, Village Manager

Village Boards and Committees
The Village Council of North Palm 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 -

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 died 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.

"Golfers at the Winter Club"

N
"The Winter Club late 1920's"
1928 A hurricane with 130 mph winds caused Lake Okeechobee
to overflow its banks and drown 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.
"The Eannan River Bridge"
Many of the pioneer families who had purchased homes in
Kelsey City fled North, abandoning their demolished
homes, defaulting on their mortgage 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 course 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 23 of 285
1926-
1955
In the period of time from 1926 when Kelsey built the
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.
"Bus from Palm Beach to the
Winter Club"
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 defaulted, 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.
Herbert Ross
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
n members: Charles Cunningham, our first Mayor,
► Richard Ross, Jay White, John Schwencke and John
Owl 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
John Schwencke Village Manager.
08/13/1956... Together with Seward Mott Associates of
Washington, D.C., a master plan 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.
"402 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 Home Builders out of Chicago,
chose NPB as an award winning 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, was dedicated. Old Port Cove
condominium complex with over 1,000 units was started.
1971 Twin City Mall opened at the 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 24 of 285
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 facility opened. At that
time, it had the most technologically
advanced equipment.
2006 Jack Nicklaus redesigned the Village's golf course and
charged the Village $1 for his services.
2008 The North Palm Beach Police Department
received the acclaimed National Accredita-
tion through CALEA.

Village residents can take pride in a Village that
was first in Florida to be awarded the National
Association of Home Builders award for excel-
lence, a Village that still looks new, escalating
real estate, local government, efficient public
services, and no commercial buildings over 4
stories tall near the road on U.S. Highway One
or Northlake Blvd.
2009 The old Seacoast Water Utility
Plant at 603 Anchorage Drive was
transformed into a beautiful
waterfront recreational destination.

Bud1jet 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 operations 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 2011/2012 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 31 of 285
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 and 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 order of priority. These include
cost and description, as well as justification for the need. Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) are forecast in the 5 -year Capital
Improvement Program 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 32 of 285
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 incorporating 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 33 of 285
Implementing, Monitoring & Amendment Phase- Bud2etary
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 Unappropriated,
Undesignated 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. Account 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 for 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 36 of 285
• 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 services 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, capitalized leases, installment
purchases, and compensated absences 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 37 of 285
• 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 reported 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 collectible 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 sources, 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 38 of 285
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 statutes 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 hearings and prior to October 1St, a
final operating budget is legally enacted through the passage of an
ordinance. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in
the budgetary process.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 39 of 285
Financial Policies
Operating Budget Policies:
• The Village will comply with all Federal, State or local
legal requirements pertaining 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 administrative and other appropriate
service charges to the General Fund for administrative
support.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 40 of 285
• The total number of employment positions approved in the
annual operating budget may not be exceeded without prior
approval of the Village Council.
• 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.
• 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, 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
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 41 of 285
Florida Statutes, Chapter 280, and "Florida Security for
Public Deposits Acts."
• The Village will insure timely deposit of all collected
revenues.
• 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 from 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 these 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 property tax base of the Village.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 42 of 285
Debt Administration
The Village has limited its borrowing to prudent levels that are able
to be covered through existing revenue 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 available 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 2011 -2012 this would amount to $74.76 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,
2010 consists of the following:
General Fund:
The Village's General Fund is debt -free!

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 financial 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 requirements of this
statement are intended to improve financial reporting by providing
fund balance categories 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 are 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
GASB 54 is effective for the Village's fiscal year 2011 annual
financial reports (available in early 2012). This statement impacts
only governmental funds, it has no impact on proprietga (enterprise)
funds or fiduciary funds.
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 2010 -11 will be available upon
completion of the Village's annual audit in early 2012. The reserves
shown in these tables are based on conservative revenue estimates and
one hundred percent (100 %) of the budgeted expenditures being
expended.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 45 of 285
General Fund:
The fund balance of the general fund, one of the governmental funds, is of significance because it is the primary fund financing most functions of the
Village. It is used by rating agencies as a measure of the financial strength of the government. Note: The fund balances for General Fund are
shown with `pre -GASB 54" fund balance classifications. The new reporting categories (in accordance with GASB 54) will be available upon
completion of the Village's annual audit in early 2012.

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 values it holds that
form the foundation on which it performs its work and conducts
itself. They describe how an organization 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 negative, 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 place 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 overall 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. "
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 50 of 285
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 resources 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 51 of 285
General Fund:
The projections are based on the following set of assumptions:
1. 3% annual growth rate during the FY 2013 -2016 period
2. Property Taxes will represent approximately 58% of total
General Fund revenues
3. Personnel Costs will represent 74% of total General Fund
revenues

General Fund Revenues
This section includes a discussion regarding revenue sources for the
Village's FY 2011/12 General Fund Budget, how much of the total
budget it comprises, revenue trends, factors influencing the trends,
projections provided by the Florida Department of Revenue and
assumptions used in determining the projections.
Ad Valorem Taxes $9,904,284
Property taxes are the single largest revenue line item in the General
Fund Budget, making up approximately 56.54% of the total budget.
The taxable property value decreased from $1.54 billion to $1.49
billion. At the adopted millage rate of 6.9723 mils, this will generate
gross taxes for FY 2011/12 of $10.4 million. But, due to discounts for
prompt payment, state law requires that only 95% of the gross taxes be
budgeted as revenue - equating to $9,904,284.
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, 2011 Palm Beach County notified the Village that the
preliminary taxable valuation was $1,488,343,410. The final taxable
valuation received on July 1 showed a valuation of $1,495,282,994.
This includes $2,946,465 in new construction.
Based on this final taxable value and current legislation, the millage
options, with respect to voting and advertising requirements for FY
2011 /12, are discussed in the following paragraphs. Please note that
the Village's current millage rate is 6.9723 mils.
$17,517,544
Methodology for increasing Millage Rate:
As per current tax law (FS 200.185) the Village is required to follow
these procedures for FY 2011/12 when setting its millage rate:
7.2240 Mills (Rolled Back Rate
A simple majority vote is all that is required to approve the rolled -back
millage rate of 7.2240 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 construction. The typical
example is that as assessments increase, the millage rate decreases
proportionately to equalize the revenues.
However, this also works in reverse whereby with assessments
decreasing in 2012, the millage rate can also increase so that the same
amount of revenues is generated. This is precisely what happened in
2012 — the adjusted taxable value (excluding new construction)
declined from $1,546,219,296 to $1,492,336,529 — resulting in a rolled -
forward rate of 7.2240.
Although the 7.2240 mils is higher than the FY 2010/11 rate of 6.9723,
it does not have to be advertised as a tax increase because it generates
the same revenues as last year.
7.2241— 8.4175 Mills (Majority Vote Maximum Millage Rate):
A simple majority vote is also all that is required to approve a rate
between the rollback rate of 7.2241 and up to 8.4175 mils. However,
since this is higher than the rolled -back rate, it must be advertised as a
tax increase. The rate is calculated by adjusting the rolled -back rate by
the growth in Florida per capita personal income.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 60 of 285
8.4176 9.2593 Mills (Two- Thirds Vote Maximum Millage Rate):
A super majority vote is required to increase the millage rate by up to
110% of the maj ori ty vote maximum rate.
9.2594 10.0000 Mills (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 mills.
Millage Rate Impact:
The revenue impact of the above millage rates is shown as follows:

General Fund Expenditures $17,517,544
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 sizable portion of each department's
budget (employee cost) is not entirely within the control of its
Director.
This section includes a discussion regarding appropriations for the
Village's FY 2011/12 General Fund budget, how much of the total
budget it comprises, and assumptions used in determining the
projections.
Personal Services $13,145,173:
Employee salary and benefits represent 75.04% of the total
General Fund Expenses. These costs are allocated on a per
employee basis. Assumptions used in budgeting for the major
employee costs are discussed below:
Calariee-
Performance based merit increases for general employees are
budgeted at an average of 3.75% based on a 0% - 5% scale.
Funding for pay increases for all firefighters and sworn police
officers are budgeted in accordance with the established step plan.
Retirement:
Actuarial determined employer contributions for the General
Employees Pension and Police & Fire Pension were budgeted as
follows:
General Employees .. .........................19.57%
Police and Fire Employees ..................20.03%
The ICMA -RC pension employer contributions were budgeted at
15 %.
Health Insurance:
Health insurance is budgeted at the employee level for the cost
provided by the insurance carrier based on type of coverage.
FICA:
This item was budgeted at 7.65% of payroll.

Debt service payments are the series of payments of principal and
interest required on a debt over the fiscal year. The Village began
accelerating its debt refunding in order to pursue "debt -free status"
in 2009. The last outstanding loan instrument was paid off in
Fiscal Year 2010 and therefore there is no debt service budgeted in

Service Levels Narrative
As the legislative branch of Village government, the Council is
comprised of five (5) officials elected Village -wide serving
two -year terms each. Councilmen in Groups 1, 3 and 5 are

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
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:
• Developing organizational goals that serve the Community;
• Strengthening and guiding the Village 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 Manager is to
implement policies approved by the Council and to help develop 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.

FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 81 of 285

Budget Award for its Budget Document.
New Initiatives
The Country Club will continue to bring about new management
challenges in this upcoming Fiscal Year. As a direct result of the
struggling economy, the Club has experienced a significant and
steady decline in memberships. This was only exacerbated by the
material default of two (2) independent restaurant vendors which
necessitated the Village stepping in and assuming responsibility for
food and beverage service at the Club. This new venture has been
embraced as an amenity of the Club but provides little to no relief
to those revenue losses.
Improving and strengthening customer service while fostering local
neighborhood relationships continues to be a primary focus in the
Fiscal Year 2011/2012 budget. The Village continues to evaluate
and re -focus on -going 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 Manger, 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.
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 2011 /2012, 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. "
Goals and Objectives
In addition to the "New Initiatives," in the coming year, the Village
Manager's Office plans to achieve the following goals and
obj ectives:
1. Provide leadership and oversight of Village -wide
governance, functions, services and projects.
a. Direct services to be delivered as set forth in the strategic
plan, the budget and Council priorities.
b. Provide Council with a recommended budget that falls within
the strategic plan and Village -wide goals at the lowest

agencies of the Village.

Human Resources
Mission Statement
To deliver customer focused services to all Village departments
with competency, care, and quality in support of the Village's
mission and strategic priorities.
Service Levels Narrative
The Human Resources (HR) Department is a strategic partner with
other Village Departments ensuring high levels of service through
the recruitment and selection of quality employees and volunteers,
through the implementation and maintenance of a well- rounded and
competitive benefits package to benefit employee retention and
morale, and through training and guidance initiatives in all aspects
of Human Resources.
Human Resources works to ensure all other Village departments
have the necessary resources and support to best manage their
human capital. Centralized benefit administration, background
screening, training, collective- bargaining, personnel record -
keeping, and workers' compensation case management facilitates
uniform application and consideration of State and Federal labor
laws and of the Village's Personnel Rules and Regulations.
The Village employs 144 full -time and 124 part -time (both year -
round and seasonal) positions. Additionally, the Village offers a
comprehensive benefits packet to all full -time staff including:
medical and dental insurance; two (2) self - funded pension plans;
three (3) 401(a) pension options and deferred compensation with
matching through ICMA -RC; an IRS Section 125 Flexible
Spending Account program; life and AD &D insurance; long -term
disability insurance; supplemental vision and other insurance
options; Employee Assistance Program (EAP); and a tuition refund
program. HR is responsible for delivering these programs
uniformly and free of discrimination and for ensuring compliance
with and meeting applicable reporting requirements for 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: oversight;
guidance; policy development; fringe benefit management; hiring
administration; continuing training and development; and 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 primary responsibilities of the Human Resources Specialist
include: processing vendor invoices; staff new -hire orientation;
assisting with employee and vendor inquiries and issues; and
educating employees regarding their rights and responsibilities
concerning the benefits offered to them. The HR Specialist also
assists the Director with interviews and panel selections, arranging
subsequent pre - employment background and physical /drug
screenings, fulfilling records requests, and other administrative
functions as needed.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 86 of 285
HR also 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 Association 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.
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 with 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 was 1.17 in Fiscal
Year 2008/2009 and declined sharply (for the better) to .92 in Fiscal
Year 2009/2010 where it remained again this year.
The climate of the healthcare industry and provisions of the
national healthcare reform bill (PPACA) passed in 2010 have
dominated consumer concerns and national news in recent times.
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 also 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, keeping a
positive claims experience can help to reduce the rate at which
premiums increase. Recognizing this, HR will continue to
prioritize health and well -being initiatives for the upcoming Fiscal
Year including conducting a third annual Employee Wellness &
Benefits Fair and promoting voluntary health -risk assessments
(HRA's) to all employees and their dependents.
In the area of collective bargaining, the Village recently closed
three -year labor contracts with all three (3) unions. Each of the
contracts runs through September 30, 2013 and contains a provision
to reopen bargaining annually for wages only.
Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
In addition to the projects outlined above, during Fiscal Year
2010 /2011, the HR Department also accomplished the following:
• Determined and implemented all HR processes including
recruitment, training, hiring, and ongoing payroll related -
changes for the newly - established Village Tavern
Restaurant; and
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 87 of 285
• Provided full -scale administrative support to the General
Employee Pension Plan Board of Trustees, including
assisting with the recruitment, selection, and orientation of
two (2) new Trustees.
Additionally, in Fiscal Year 2011/2012 the HR Department plans
to:
• Continue to review existing employee insurance plans,
benefits levels and methods of implementation in order to
lower employer costs; and
• Continue to review and revise existing HR related forms in
order to streamline processes (e.g. Personnel Action Form and
Employment Application).
Goals and Objectives
In the coming year, the Human Resources Department plans to
achieve the following goals and objectives:
Council Goal:
Protect the financial integrity of the Village in a difficult
economic environment
Department Goal:
Minimize the Village's exposure to employer - liability issues and

Applying the HR staffing metric of one (1) full -time HR employee
per 100 full -time equivalent (FTE) positions being serviced, or

1:108. The acquisition of the Village Tavern Restaurant as a
Village- operated facility in Fiscal Year 2009/2010 pushed this ratio
up from 1:96 with the addition of 45 positions.

HR cost per budgeted FTE dropped slightly in Fiscal Year
2010/2011 over the previous year, which was artificially inflated
due to the centralization of some costs under HR (which were
previously recorded in other areas of the budget) and a sharp
decline in the number of budgeted FTE's. Since its inception in
Fiscal Year 2006/2007, the HR Department's total annual budget
has risen by less than $5,000 (or 2 %) and the cost per Village FTE
has risen just $61.15 (or almost 6 %).

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 Association ( "GFOA ") for 23
consecutive years.
Prudent financial management has contributed to the increase in
the Undesignated, Unappropriated 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 Undesignated, Unappropriated Fund Balance at
September 30, 2010 is unused and unbudgeted in this proposed
budget - remaining at a level of $10.44 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

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;

General Services — Village Hall Capital Outlay $50,100
A/C Chiller Replacement $50,100
This project is located at the Village Hall. The original plan was to
replace the coils in the chiller due to excessive deterioration. Upon
further investigation it was discovered that the cabinet that houses
the unit was severely rusted at the bottom. This portion of the
equipment supports the compressors, chiller barrel, coils and
electrical components. The estimated cost of the coils replacement
alone was $30,000. The unit is 8 years old. The cost benefit of just
replacing the coils isn't warranted at this time.

Due to the age, mileage and mechanical condition of patrol
unit 9 242 (2003 Ford Crown Victoria), and patrol unit 9
240 (2004 Ford Crown Victoria) both units are now in need
of replacement. I am therefore requesting to purchase two
(2) 2012 Ford Taurus marked patrol units based on

Law Enforcement
Mission Statement
To provide the highest quality of public safety 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 Village has been providing Public Safety services to its
residents since 1956. Public Safety services include law
enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. Until recently
these services have been treated as one Department under the
direction of the Director of Public Safety who also served as the
Chief of Police. This structure combined all elements of public
safety under one title, but did not recognize the separate missions,
goals and expertise of the police and fire rescue services. The
proposed budget for Law Enforcement includes the deletion of the
exempt, non -union eligible, managerial Director of Public Safety
position in favor of an exempt, non -union eligible, managerial
Chief of Police position. The position will continue to be in
charge of all Law Enforcement resources and personnel and will
no longer oversee Fire Rescue resources and personnel.
The Law Enforcement Department consists of thirty-one (3 1)
sworn law enforcement officers, eight (8) communications
personnel (two of which serve as Records Clerks), two (2) public
safety aides, and two (2) full -time clerical personnel.
Road Patrol and Communications personnel work a twelve -hour
shift schedule, with a minimum staffing requirement to provide
better 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
Director 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 Police. 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;
Professional Standards; 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 per shift for each day to provide the
necessary coverage 24 -hours per day.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 119 of 285
Criminal Investigations
Criminal Investigations section consists of one (1) sergeant,
three (3) detectives, and one (1) Evidence /Crime Scene
Technician, who are primarily assigned 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 Patrol Unit
The Village of North Palm Beach is most fortunate in the amount
of waterways within its jurisdiction. Since the Village borders
Lake Worth, the Intracoastal Waterway, and other inland waters, 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
The Department's specially trained Public Safety Sergeant is a
certified crime prevention practitioner; she is responsible for
coordination of community programs, residential and business
security surveys, and acts as primary advisor to our Police
Explorers.
Training
The Law Enforcement 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 receive regular
high liability training, along with various other classes to develop
their abilities.
Traffic Safety
The Law Enforcement Department continues to closely monitor
its response to traffic crashes within the Village. Because citizen
safety is paramount, the Department is always 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:
• 2009 total is 321
• 2010 total is 304
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 typically have an adverse affect on
our goal to further reduce such occurrences.
Enforcement Initiatives:
2009 6,310 citations, 704 warnings
2010 4,951 citations, 775 warnings
Crime qi -f-ne
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 (recently refurbished) 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.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 120 of 285
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. A CAD alert system,
which details significant events, was recently added for
administration.
National Accreditation
On July 26, 2008 the Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies ( CALEA) conferred on the Village of
North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety national
accreditation status. Staff, led by the Accreditation Manager,
completed a tremendous amount of work to obtain this honor.
The department put into place numerous policy changes to ensure
that it is following "best practices" and complying with national
standards. The department diligently prepared for its first re-
accreditation process which occurred in April 2011. The CALEA
Assessment Team completed their on -site review and provided an
outstanding summary report on our agency. The formal award of
National Re- Accreditation will be in July 2011.
Communications
The Department has completed an upgrade project in cooperation
with the Village's Information Technology Department to update
and further enhance its own security monitoring ability.
Additional security cameras were deployed in several Village
property locations as part 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 Public Safety 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 seven (7)
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 two
(2) Reserve Officers.
Securitv Survevs/Home and Business
The Department's specially trained Community Policing /Crime
Prevention staff offer free residential 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 thirty-one (3 1) security surveys in 2010.
Trespass Program
This program allows business owners to sign an affidavit giving
consent for public safety officers to act as an agent, thereby giving
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 121 of 285
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 advise persons found on the premises
that failure to leave the area may result in arrest. Currently there
are thirty -four (34) properties 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 Public Safety Officers of participation in the program.
Currently there are 390 participants enrolled in the CAT 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
4,500 flyers in 2010.
Cell Phones to seniors
Cell phones are collected and then given out to senior citizens
throughout the area for emergency use. The Department
distributed 75 phones in 2010.
Crime Opportuni , 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 400 gun
locks in 2010.
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 139 meetings in 2010.
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 62 meetings throughout 2010.
Operation Safe Kids
This program is designed to provide education and awareness to
children about preventable and dangerous situations. This
assembly style presentation teaches children how to identify
potential dangers and to protect themselves from abuse,
abduction, and exploitation through a series of interactive
scenarios. The presentation empowers children with the
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 122 of 285
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 55
seminars in 2010.
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 promote 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 2010.
D.A.R.E. Program
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) is offered in
community schools by specially trained officers. In 2010 we
graduated 150 sixth grade students from the program.
Adopt -A- Family Program
The North Palm Beach Public Safety 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 six (6) families and 23
children in 2010.
Personnel Changes
The personnel /title changes for Fiscal Year 2011 /2012 are as
follows:
• Deletion of one (1) full -time Director of Public Safety
position; and
• Addition of one (1) full -time Chief of Police 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 identify 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.

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 currently consists o£ one (1) Fire
Chief, one (1) full -time Administrative Fire Rescue Lieutenant;
one (1) full -time Fire Inspector; three (3) (shift) Fire Rescue
Lieutenants; fifteen (15) Firefighter /Paramedics; three (3)
Firefighter /EMT's; and eighteen (18) volunteers.
The Fire Chief serves as part of the Village Management team and
reports to the Village Manager. The Fire Chief manages the
resources of the Fire Rescue Department, providing administrative
duties such as budget preparation and long term planning. The
Fire Chief coordinates with other Village departments — most
often the Community Development Department — to minimize
conflicts between code issues that might affect projects within the
Village. The Fire Chief may serve in any capacity up to and
including Incident Commander during a man-made or natural
disaster.
The Administrative Lieutenant serves as training officer and
liaison to other fire and EMS organizations. As such, the
Administrative Lieutenant represents the department at various
countywide association meetings. The Administrative Lieutenant
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 averages to a 48 -hour work week.
Mandatory minimum daily staffing is five (5) people, with two (2)
on an ambulance and three (3) 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 to
present fire safety information to school groups and citizen
organizations.
Our volunteers are required to hold the same certifications as our
career personnel: Firefighter II and EMT or paramedic
certification. They are also required to attend at least two (2)
monthly fire drills and ride a minimum of twenty -four hours per
month with our career personnel. They can be assigned any duty
for which they are certified, and supplement, but never replace
career personnel.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 128 of 285
Personnel Changes
The current command structure of Fire Rescue encompasses the
Fire Chief and four (4) Fire Rescue Lieutenants, three (3) of
which are assigned to supervise a shift and one (1) who serves as
the Administrative Lieutenant with the same supervisory authority
as the three (3) shift Lieutenants. This structure creates a
"flattened" chain of command that does not clearly define who is
next -in- command when the Fire Chief is away. Also, all four (4)
Lieutenants are currently union - eligible positions that preclude
them from conducting internal investigations and making
disciplinary recommendations. Therefore, the Fire Chief is
required to conduct all necessary internal investigations and to
recommend and carry out discipline without the objectivity of
another management point -of -view.
The proposed budget for Fire Rescue includes the deletion of the
non - exempt, union - eligible Administrative Lieutenant position in
favor of an exempt, non -union Fire Captain position. This new
position would alleviate the issues already cited and create a more
intuitive and efficient work flow.
The personnel /title changes for Fiscal Year 2011 /2012 are as
follows:
• Deletion of one (1) full -time Administrative Fire Rescue
Lieutenant position; and
• Addition of one (1) full-time Fire Captain position.
Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
During Fiscal Year 2010 /2011, the Fire Rescue Department
achieved the following new initiatives and goals for improvement:
• Contracted with a new Medical Director;
• Streamlined and updated EMS Protocols;
• Improved the medical inventory system;
• Replaced all career personnel protective fire clothing using
the Assistance to Firefighters Grant;
• Implemented new administrative and tactical Standard

• Received the Residential Fire Safety Institute's Life Safety
Award; and
• Participated in a number of Village and countywide events
including our Annual Safety Fair, Heritage Day, a 9/11
Remembrance Ceremony, and Veterans' Day Ceremony.
Goals and Objectives
In the coming year, the Fire Rescue Department plans to achieve
the following goals and objectives:
Maintain a High Oualitv of Life in the Village
Department Goal:

countywide standard of eight (8) minutes 80% of the time.

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 Clerk. 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 maintaining appropriate customer service
levels in the department while overseeing the workflow of the
staff. The Director also enforces 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, plumbing, and street lights. Facility staff is
also responsible for the appearance (painting and repair) of all
Village buildings and assists 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 submitted to
the Country Club Administration for payment to the Village. No
tax dollars are utilized for facilities at the North Palm Beach
Country Club that fall within the Enterprise Fund.
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 100 licensed vehicles and
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 135 of 285
numerous pieces of off -road and small equipment (i.e. chain saws,
generators, grinders, pumps, etc.). 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.
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
expensive level of service when compared to surrounding
municipalities.
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 L 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 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 automobile
accidents or vandalism.
Major Fleet Maintenance renovation priorities for the proposed
budget include:
• Consolidating automotive accounts of the other departments
into this budget, allowing the Division to better monitor and
control the effectiveness of maintenance expenditures and to
streamline purchasing procedures.
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;
• Continuing the program of purchasing, installing or
constructing new signs following Council's chosen design
and color theme at Village facilities; and
• Continuing the program for painting, landscaping and
lighting facilities to maintain a high quality of appearance.
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; and these
vehicles have been singled out by our insurance provider as a high
liability that we can no longer afford. The move to alternate
means of collection will all be done with an understanding that the
residents still 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
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 136 of 285
Village's current packer trucks have already been retrofitted to
accommodate the new wheeled containers. During this coming
Fiscal Year the Department will push out for one additional year
the purchase of one tandem -axle rear- loading packer truck.
Tandem -axle trucks reduce the number of trips to the landfill and
the number of overweight tickets which will improve staff
productivity and lower costs. 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.
During the coming year Street Maintenance Division plans to:
• Develop a median revitalization plan to provide for visually
attractive landscaping while reducing water consumption;
and
• Continue with the very successful outsourcing of the
maintenance of all Village parks and landscape areas.
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 2010 /2011, the Public Works Department
achieved the following new initiatives and goals for improvement:
• Installed 6' illuminated letters at the entrance to the
Country Club;
• Repaired pipe joints in system at 313 Lake Circle;
• Repaired the storm water outfall pipe in system at 356
Golfview Road;
• Repaired pipe joints in system at 400 Lighthouse
Drive;
• Replaced the storm water drain pipe between the
houses located at 825 Cinnamon Road;
• Repaired storm water drain pipe penetrating seawall at
125 Davit Road;
• Overlaid the service alley behind Baer's Furniture; and
• Repaired the seawall on Yacht Club Drive.

This project entails the purchase of an attachment that is
connected to the hopper located at the rear of a packer
truck. It allows for larger containers and protects the limbs
of the collector. With the recommendation of holding off
the purchase of a new packer truck for another year, we are
looking into new ways or devices to enhance our collection
capabilities and reducing our workers' compensation
incidents.

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
The Library provides materials in many formats including: book;
periodical; electronic; and audio - visual. Staff enters and
maintains books and materials into the permanent collection, and
periodically purges outdated or worn materials for sale 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; and other special events.
The Library also offers a variety of reference services including:
simple inquiries; research assistance; 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 two (2)
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 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 the 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 2010 /2011, the Library achieved the following
new initiatives and goals for improvement:
• By encouraging local business to offer free programs for
Library patrons the Library anticipates at the end of the year
a 35% increase in Adult Programming.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 159 of 285
• During the summer of 2010 the Library enlisted 17 teen
volunteers to assist with the children's summer reading
program. The Library anticipates from 20 to 25 teen
volunteers during the summer of 2011. To better serve this
population the Library opened a Young Adult Department in
FY2011.
• The Library installed the new circulation and cataloging
software (SIRSI) in July of 2010. Patrons have access to
more self - services such as renewals and requests and are
able to manage their accounts online. It is anticipated that
2,241 self - service tasks will be preformed from home in the
current Fiscal Year.

need for providing e- books. Half of the respondents own at
least one a -Book reader. In Fiscal Year 2010/2011 non -print
items accounted for 40% of the Library's circulation.

• The Library instituted a weekly program for instructing
new and old patrons on "Getting the Most Out of Your

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. Winter, 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 &
Shine to the July 4th fireworks to the Holiday Lights Trolley rides.
The Department also offers seasonal events as well as activities

special to the Village such as our annual Heritage Day, Puppy
Love, garage sales and Arts & Crafts Festival.
Sports
Adult recreational sports league opportunities are offered including
softball, volleyball, and basketball. Youth recreational basketball,
volleyball and soccer are also operated by the Department. All
other youth sport activities are offered through local organized

Court play numbers were obtained through daily court registration
sheets.
Marina Storage Rental Revenues: This chart shows the
revenues generated by both dry and wet storage at the Anchorage
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 167 of 285
Park marina. The marina showed a slight decline in revenues due
to the economy and the lack of larger dry spaces. The turnover of
storage owners also creates a loss in revenue due to the downtime
while the owner is reselling the open space. At the present time
there are some openings for 15' and 20' spaces and waiting lists
for 25' spots and above and all wet slips.

The personnel changes in the Country Club Budget are a result of reorganization both in the Golf and Food & Beverage Summary: Change:
areas. Golf operations, with the elimination of the fulltime administrative position gained two part -time positions, one FT =5
specializing in member relations and the other in sales and marketing. In the F &B section, a shift in operating strategies PT =56 -8 PT
allowed for an overall workforce reduction. In all, the NPBCC budget realized a reduction in two (2) fulltime and eight (8)
part -time positions. These changes will maximize our ability to achieve both operational efficiency and profitability.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 198 of 285
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 GoL Aerations
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 five (5) 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 located 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 Head Golf Professional.
He 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 199 of 285
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 sixth season of play.
Personnel Changes Golf Operations
The personnel/title changes for Fiscal Year 2011/2012 are as
follows:
• Addition of one (1) part -time Member Relations Coordinator
position;
• Addition of one (1) part -time Sales & Marketing
Representative position;

Assistant Golf Professional" for one (1) full -time position;

Service Levels Narrative Food and Beverage (F &B)
Note: 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.
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 areas to enhance tournaments,
special events and the overall experience at the Club.
North Palm Beach Country Club "Village Tavern" Restaurant, Bar
and Banquet operations are conducted by Village staff under the
direction of the Director of Food & Beverage. The Director of
F &B is the only full -time employee within the F &B operation.
The remaining restaurant employees work part -time (less than 30
hours per week) and are comprised o£ fifteen (15) F &B Service
Personnel; four (4) Dishwashers; one (1) F &B Sales Coordinator;
six (6) Snack Bar Attendants; five (5) Line Cooks; one (1) F &B
Chef, and one (1) F &B Assistant Manager.
The Restaurant and Bar is "OPEN" to the public serving the
membership and community seven (7) days -a -week with
modifiable hours of operation predicated upon seasonal activities
and overall profitability. Restaurant 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 service that is accessible and reasonably priced is a
cornerstone of the Restaurant operation. The "Village Tavern"
serves freshly prepared, high quality, popular casual cuisine that is
targeted to appeal to a variety of consumers, tastes and budgets.
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. A separate snack bar menu catering to
those venues is available.
Beverage Cart services are provided for the Golf Course as well as
the Country Club Tennis Center. Cart service provides a variety of
snack and beverage options including alcoholic beverages.
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 operation. 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
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 200 of 285
in the upcoming Fiscal Year to exploit this market in the Northern
Palm Beach County area.

Current Year Accomplishments and New Initiatives
During FY 2010 /2011, the North Palm Beach Country Club
achieved the following new initiatives and goals for improvement:
• Improved the accessibility of the Professional Staff to the
members and guests by relocating our offices to the golf
shop;
• Planted 29 Palatka Holly trees throughout the property,
most notably between the driving range and 10th fairway
and between the 1St and 2nd fairways. These trees not only
look fantastic but they help frame and separate the holes
and driving range;

Golf Memberships: The number of golf members is a good
indicator of the Club's overall health as roughly 45% of total play
is from members. Also, since most members renew at the
beginning of the Fiscal Year, memberships produce a substantial
amount of revenue at the start of the Fiscal Year which helps to
cover operating expenses throughout the year.

Member Tournaments and Events: These numbers reflect the
improvements being made to the Club. Adding member golf
tournaments increases the value of a golf membership, thereby
increasing the number of golf memberships. The Club has also
been successful in increasing the Club's visibility and, in turn,
revenue by offering more outside events /outings, clinics and
camps.

Golf Launch Monitor $15,500
The Golf Operation would like to purchase a launch
monitor. This portable machine will afford us the
opportunity to properly fit customers with the correct
equipment. As a result, we would be able to sell more clubs
and have people playing better golf. Combining the launch
monitor with two golf club fitting carts will give us all of
the necessary information needed to put the customer into
the perfect equipment for their game. The launch monitor
would also help improve our teaching ability and should
yield an increase in lesson revenue. The addition of this
high tech equipment will give us the most modern
advancement in club fitting while bringing in more revenue
and an improved perception of our facility.

Country Club Revenues $3,900,695
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 2011/12 Country Club Budget. The
major source of Country Club revenues (approx 71 %) are derived
from golf memberships, cart rentals, greens 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:
• 50,000 anticipated rounds
• 287 memberships
Cart Rental/Walkin Fee $1,061,380
This class of revenue represents 27.21% of the overall Country
Club Revenues. The calculation is based on anticipated rounds:
Average cart fee per round played (excluding walkers)
($22.17 x 46,000) _ $1,019,820
Walking Fees ($10.39 x 4,000 rounds) _ $41,560

Village of North Palm Beach
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Jamie Titcomb, Village Manager

This Comprehensive Pay and Classification Plan ( "Pay Plan") reflects

Pension:
The Village's annual employer contribution decreased for the General
Employee Pension Plan and increased for the Police & Fire Pension
Plan for Fiscal Year 2011/2012. 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 15.78% and the Village voluntarily
contributed 4.22% to help "catch -up" funding of the plan, which
combined came to 20.00 %. For Fiscal Year 2011/2012, the Village's
annual required employer contribution is 19.57 %, or down by 0.43%
(with no "catch -up" funded). For the Police & Fire Pension Plan the
required annual employer contribution for Fiscal Year 2011/2012
increased from 17.86% to 20.03 %, or up by 2.17 %.
All budgeted plan contributions are outlined below:
• For General Employees Pension Plan:
Employer contribution 19.57%
Employee contribution 6.0%
• For Police and Fire Pension Plan:
Employer contribution 20.03%
Employee contribution 2.0%
• For ICMA -RC Pension Plan
Employer contribution 15%
Employee contribution 3%,5%, 10% or 15%
Health / Dental Insurance:
The Village Administration worked with our insurance broker to
secure the most advantageous renewals possible for the Village and its
employees. The Village obtained an initial renewal estimate of a
6.87% premium increase which was negotiated down to 4.0% by our
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 226 of 285
brokers. In the end, the Village was able to secure a 12 -month renewal
with Humana at just a 2% premium increase for continuation of the
existing medical insurance program for the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 by
moving to Humana for its dental insurance as well. Increases in
medical insurance are driven by both on the Village's individual
claims experience rating and the increasing costs within the health care
industry as a whole, especially in light of recent healthcare reform
legislation mandating greater benefits to larger sections of the
population (i.e. no out -of- pocket life -time maximums, no pre- existing
condition exclusions, and parity between medical and mental
health /substance abuse benefits).
As mentioned, the Village is making a change in dental insurance
carriers away from Guardian Life Insurance Co. to Humana in FY
2011 /2012. The Village has been with Guardian for two (2) years and,
during that time, the premiums increased with each renewal and
customer service issues experienced by staff increased as well. The
renewal rates for Guardian came in at +4.0% for the HMO plan and
+27.8% for the PPO plan, for a net increase of $14,486 for FY
2011/2012.
In order to maintain the highest quality of benefits affordable for its
employees, the Village Administration felt it necessary to secure
quotes for comparable coverage from multiple carriers. Humana came
back with the closest match in current benefits levels, pricing, and
provider networks for Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties and,
by moving to Humana dental, the Village was able to reduce its
medical insurance renewal from 4% to 2% — for a savings of over
thirty (30) thousand dollars. Humana's dental rates came in at +18.5%
for the HMO plan and +10.0% for the PPO plan, for a net increase of
$9,214 for FY 2011/2012.
With single coverage, for both the health and dental insurance plans,
the lower cost plan is paid entirely by the Village. For employee plus
one (health insurance only) and the family coverage options (for health
and dental insurance), the lower cost plan is paid 80% by the Village
and the balance by the employee. Employees choosing higher cost
plan options will pay 100% of the cost difference between the higher
and lower cost plans.

Employee + One Coverage
Employee + Family Coverage

FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 228 of 285
FISCAL YEAR 2011/2012
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 maximum 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, 2011. No general
(non- union) employees will receive a cost of living adjustment
(COLA) effective October 1, 2011. The pay range (grade) of each
General Employee shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2010/2011,
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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 229 of 285
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 may 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 Exceptional 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 carried 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 classification, 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 changes (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 employ (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 employ (scheduled during a 12 -month period
work for less than 46 weeks), who have worked during the past
season and return for the upcoming season, may be eligible for a
merit increase at the beginning of the upcoming season, when prior
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 230 of 285
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.
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
(11/2) 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 (11/2) 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 employees 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 their 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 19.57% of payroll, 20.03% 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.
Long Term Disability Insurance — The Village's long -term
disability shall continue for all full -time employees, unless otherwise
negotiated.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 231 of 285
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.
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 benefit 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 the 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 services 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:
Capital outlays of $10,000 or more are included in the CIP.
The plan places projects [valued at $10,000 or morel 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 private development. Careful
management of its assets keeps the Village poised for flexible and
responsive strategic planning that allows the Village to proactively
prepare the groundwork for capital projects so when funding
opportunities arise, a plan is ready to be implemented. By looking

FY 2012 Adopted Budget Page 240 of 285
beyond year -to -year budgeting and projecting what, where, when
and how capital investments should be made, capital planning
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 financing 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 "blueprint" 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 closer 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 recommendations 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:

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 2012, this amounts to $74.76 million. The Village has
no seneral 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 reliant 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 for 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 243 of 285
• Commercial Paper: Generally defined as short term,
unsecured promissory notes issued 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 project 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 these 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 2012 -2016 CIP recommends a total investment
of $4.71 million in the Village of North Palm Beach's capital
facilities and equipment during a five -year period. The first year
(2012) is the most active and important 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 2012 Adopted Budget Page 244 of 285
the Annual Budget) for capital improvements in FY 2012 is
$274,432, comprised of the following projects:
• Playground Equipment $ 45,000
• A/C Chiller Replacement (2) $ 111,600
• Vehicle Replacement (2) $ 57,582
• "Quick -Tip" Dumpster Attachment $ 26,000
• Microsoft Office Suite Upgrade $ 18,750
• Golf Launch Monitor $ 15,500
The five year CIP is presented in the following pages along with the
detailed capital project request forms for the first year of the plan.

Other Comment:
The installation of this piece of equipment will allow the
sanitation department to collect larger containers. It will also
