A. Introduction
The Village provides a range of services to its residents and businesses, including:
• General Government
• Public Safety (police and fire protection, including emergency medical services)
• Public Works (Facility and vehicle maintenance, sanitation, and street
maintenance)
• Parks and Recreation (parks, library, pool and marina)
• Community Development (planning, zoning, building and code enforcement)
• Emergency Management
Potable water and sanitary sewer services are provided to Village residents and
businesses by Seacoast Utility Authority,
The Village organizes its financial accounts into funds, which are groups of related
accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. All funds can be divided into the following three categories: (1)
government, (2) enterprise, and (3) fiduciary. Fiduciary funds, which include the
Village's two pension funds, are not considered further in this analysis since their
resources are not available to support general government activities.
1. Government Fund
Government funds are used to account for most of the Village's government activities
except those that are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that
are restricted for specified uses or those that are reported separately as business
activities (enterprise funds).
The Village utilizes the following government funds: General Fund, Capital Projects
Fund, and Special Revenue Funds. The General Fund is the Village's primary operating
fund. It accounts for all of the financial resources of the general government, except for
those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the cost of acquiring, constructing, and
placing into service those capital improvements which are financed by long-term debt
issues to be repaid by operating revenues in the General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources used to fund major capital improvements projects that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specified purposes. The Village has four special revenue funds; Public
Safety, Northlake Boulevard, Recreation, and On -Behalf Pension Contributions.
Government fund accounting focuses on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources at the end of the fiscal year.
This information is useful in evaluating the Village's near-term future financing
requirements.

2. Proprietary (Enterprise) Fund
The Village's only proprietary fund is the Country Club Fund, which charges customers
for the services it provides.
B. Financial Feasibility of the Comprehensive Plan
This section addresses state financial analysis requirements for the Capital
Improvements Element.
1. Revenues
Taxes -For accounting purposes, North Palm Beach combines taxes from several
sources, including property taxes, local option gas taxes, utility services taxes, franchise
fees, and sales and use taxes.
Ad valorem taxes account for approximately 72%
general revenues received by the Village. The
municipal services was 6.10 mills applied t
approximately $2.02 billion. Total tax revenues i
$19.91 million in ad valorem tax revenues..
of all taxes collected, and 60% of all
FY 2008 tax rate for the Village for
an assessed property value of
FY 2008 were $16.65 million, with
Licenses and Permits -The Village received $1,05 million in licenses, permits and
fees, including those for occupational licenses, building permits and zoning fees, etc. in
FY 2008. Licenses, permits and fees revenues increased in FY 2008 by approximately
19% from the prior year.
Intergovernmental (Revenue Sharing) -These funds are provided to the Village by the
State based upon a defined allocation methodology. Revenues include State revenue
sharing, half -cent sales tax, County gas tax, and municipal share of County occupational
licenses. In FY 2008, the total intergovernmental revenue collected was $2.46 million, a
decrease of 11 % from the prior year.
Charges for Services -The Village charges for the provision of specific services that
directly impact individuals or entities, including: fees and service charges for special
services and enterprise operations (Country Club), inspection fees, recreation fees,
public hearing fees, etc. The Village General Fund received approximately $1.29 million
for services rendered in FY 2008, an increase of 17% over the previous year.
Fines and Forfeitures -Fines include court fines, violations of local ordinances, etc. In
FY 2008 the total revenue collected was approximately $ 236,000, an increase of 79%
over the previous year.
Investment Earnings - In FY 2008 the total revenue collected was approximately
$ 194,000, a substantial decrease from $650,000 the previous year.
Miscellaneous - In FY 2008, the total revenue collected was approximately $137,000.
Miscellaneous revenue sources include interest earnings, rental fees, and donations,
etc.
2
Government funds revenues (rounded) are summarized in Table 1 for the years FY 2004
— FY 2008. FY 2008 figures reflect budgeted amounts, not audited totals. Annual
revenues increased by $5.1 million during this period, with a majority (67%) resulting
from taxes. Licenses and Permits, Charges for Services, and Investment Income also
increased during the period. Other revenue sources have generally remained steady or
experienced a decline.

Adopted Budget (page 43 of 216); Land Research Management, Inc.
Over the course of the FY 2005 — FY 2008 period, government funds revenues
increased from $1,452 per capita in FY 2005 to $1,609 per capita in FY 2008, an
increase of $157 per capita per year. The increase is due primarily to the increase in the
Village's property tax base during the three-year period.
The recent rate of increase in government funds revenues is not expected to be
maintained during the FY 2010 — FY 2014 period, as tax base growth is projected to
moderate for the following reasons: (1) The rate of construction activity is expected to
decline to due to buildout of the Village; (2) a decline in residential sales activity and
prices due to the downturn of the housing market; (3) property tax reform which
increased the homestead exemption, capping of assessed values of non -homesteaded
homes, and "portability" of the "Save Our Homes" benefits.
As a result, a very moderate growth rate in the tax base is expected (Source:
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report; September 2007). Due to the tax reform
measures, property tax revenues are expected to initially decline, and then rebound
somewhat, as the housing market begins to recover. However, infill development and
redevelopment activity, and annexation of additional properties to the Village can result
in additional future property tax revenues.
3
The Village has not historically prepared government funds revenue projections.
However, revenues can be projected by applying the following assumptions: (1)
"property taxes" revenue will decline during FY 2010 due to the effects of the tax reform
and a reduction in the millage rate, and increase at an annual rate of 3% per year for the
ensuing four period, assuming that the housing market will begin to rebound, and (2)
"property taxes" revenue will represent approximately 61% of total government funds
revenue, as evidenced in the FY 2007 — FY 2008 period. Table 2 presents annual
revenue projections using these assumptions.

The Village's Enterprise Fund (Country Club) operating revenues are summarized in
Table 3 for the years FY 2005 - FY 2009. Annual operating revenues increased by
$2.68 million during this period. Charges for services account for between 85% and
90% of Enterprise Fund annual revenues.

Table 5 shows Government Funds expenditures for FY 2005 - 2009. During the FY 2005
— FY 2009 period, annual capital outlay expenditures funded by Government Funds
revenues (i.e. excluding those financed by loans, notes and bonds) ranged from $0 (FY
2005) to $2.74 million (FY 2007).

Enterprise Fund operating expenditures for FY 2009 were $3.6 million. Table 7 shows
actual expenditures for FY 2005 — 2008 using data provided by the City's Finance
Department. Annual operating expenditures increased by $1.81 million during this
period. The City does not normally prepare Enterprise Fund expenditure projections for
the ensuing five-year period. For the purposes of this analysis, Enterprise Funds
operating expenditures projections were prepared for the years FY 2009 — 2013,
assuming a 3% annual growth rate (i.e. CPI factor used by the Florida Public Service
Commission). These projections are presented in Table 8.

4. Capital Improvements Funding Potential.
Several sources of revenue are available to the Village for use in financing capital
improvements, including: Government Funds revenues and reserves; loans and bonds
(general obligation and revenue); grants; special assessments; and developer
contributions. North Palm Beach has used many of these sources in the past, and each
alternative remains available to the Village.
Capital improvements are generally financed from Government Funds revenues, and
grants or loans, including bonds. Debt financing is used on an "as -needed" basis. At
the end of FY 2008, total long-term Government Funds debt was $4.7 million, none of
which was backed by the full faith and credit of the Village. With a minor unsecured
exception, loans payable were secured by franchise fees, public services taxes, and
other non ad valorem revenues.
7
Country Club capital improvements are generally financed by loans and long-term
leases. Pledged revenues from the Enterprise Fund repay the debt. At the end of FY
2008, total long-term Enterprise Fund debt was $4.9 million.
Projections of Government Funds revenues available to the Village for capital
improvements projects during the FY 2010 - FY 2014 period are presented in Table 10.

Capital improvements expenditures in excess of the available amounts projected in
Table 10 likely will require the use of other sources listed above, or an increase in the
percentage of revenues (9%) projected to be spent on capital expenditures. Policy 4.2
of the Capital Improvements element limits general obligation debt to an amount equal to
5% or less of the Village's property tax base. In FY 2009, this would amount to $92.1
million in available general obligation debt.
Policy 4.2 was last reviewed as part of the 2001 EAR -based amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, using 1999 data. Since 19997 the Village's property tax base has
increased from $771 million to a current (i.e. FY 2009) level of $1.84 billion.
5. Capital Spending Program.
The 2001 Comprehensive Plan contained a 5 -year Schedule of Improvements, and
Policy 4.3 of the Capital Improvements element directs that it be updated on an annual
basis. The Village has not updated the 5 -year Schedule of Improvements on an annual
basis, as directed; however, the Village includes a 5 -Year capital spending plan within
the annual budget which can be used as a basis to initiate preparation of the 5 -year
Schedule of Improvements as part of the current amendments to the Capital
Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
A summary of generalized 5 -year projected capital projects, by operating department,
included within the FY 2010/2014 Budget is presented in Table 11. Most of the projects
summarized in Table 11 are not necessary to maintain Village LOS standards, nor are
they directed by the Comprehensive Plan. A further discussion of LOS -related or
Comprehensive Plan -directed capital improvements is presented in Section C.
Table 11

Government Funds
Source: Village of North Palm Beach FY 2009/10 Budget (FY 2009 — 2014 General Fund Capital
Plan); LRM, Inc.; 1/2010.
A comparison of proposed expenditures (Table 11) with projected capital expenditures
potential (Table 10) indicates that planned capital improvements are financially feasible.
6. Capital Improvements, LOS and Budget.
Based upon the assessment of capital improvements funding potential, per Sections 4
and 5, above, it is concluded that the Village has the financial capability to finance
planned capital projects during the FY 2010 — FY 2014 period with committed revenue
sources.
The Village should continue to prepare a 5 year capital budget plan considering the
maintenance of level -of -service (LOS) standards, detailed revenue projections and
changes in funding in order to adequately determine financial feasibility. Appropriate
capital projects from the 5 year capital plan should be incorporated within the annual
update to the 5 -Year Schedule of Improvements of the Capital Improvements Element
of the Comprehensive Plan.
D
Florida 2005 Growth Management Legislation (Senate Bill 360) added additional
financial feasibility requirements for the Capital Improvements Element. Financial
feasibility means that sufficient revenues are currently available, or will be available from
committed funding sources (e.g. ad valorem taxes, impact fees, developer contributions,
bonds, state and federal funds, etc.) which are adequate to fund the projected costs of
capital improvements necessary to ensure that adopted levekof-service standards are
achieved and maintained. Revenue sources must be included in the 5 -Year Schedule
of Improvements and be available during the planning period of the comprehensive plan.
Additional key requirements include the following:
• The Capital Improvements element must include a schedule of capital
improvements which are necessary to ensure that adopted levekof service
standards are achieved and maintained.
• For capital improvements that will be funded by a developer, financial feasibility
must be demonstrated by an enforceable development agreement, and be
reflected in the 5 -year Schedule of Improvements.
• If the local government uses a planned revenue source that requires a
referendum or other actions to secure the source, the plan must identify other
existing revenue sources in the event that the required actions do not occur.
• The schedule of improvements must include transportation improvements
included in the Metropolitan Planning Organization's transportation improvement
program if those improvements are required to maintain adopted levekof-service
standards.
• The schedule of improvements must be reviewed on an annual basis to the
maximum extent feasible, and modified as necessary, in order to maintain
adopted levekof-service standards.
• An amendment to the comprehensive plan is required to update the schedule of
improvements on an annual basis, or to eliminate, defer, or delay the
construction of any facility in the schedule of improvements.
• Amendments implementing these requirements must be filed no later than
December 1, 2011, as well as each successive year thereafter.
The Village's Capital Improvement element and 5 -year schedule of improvements will
need to be amended to comply with the new requirements.
C. Level of Service Analysis.
The Village has adopted LOS standards for infrastructure services in Table 11-1 of the
Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan. LOS standards are
normally used to assess the impacts of any development on public facilities. Per the
Village's land development regulations, developers are required, by contractual
agreement with the provider, to finance necessary capital improvements. It is anticipated
that any demands resulting from growth or redevelopment will continue to be addressed
in this manner.
The application of LOS standards to projected Village population is also used as one
basis to identify existing and future capital improvements needs. Village population
projections used to determine infrastructure needs are presented in Table 12.

1. Sanitary Sewer —Sanitary sewer service within the corporate limits is not directly
provided by the Village. With the exception of a few remaining septic tanks, sanitary
sewer service, including collection, transmission and disposal is provided by Seacoast
Utility Authority (Seacoast). Seacoast directly bills residents within the Village using its
services.
Seacoast is a publicly owned water and sewer utility serving approximately 57,302
homes and businesses in northeast Palm Beach County, with an approximate population
of 97,000 residents. The 1988 interlocal agreement establishing Seacoast vests
governing authority in its five member board, consisting of Palm Beach County and four
participating municipalities. Board members are appointed by the political jurisdictions,
with voting shares based upon general capacity use as follows: Palm Beach Gardens —
49%; Palm Beach County — 26%; North Palm Bach — 16%; Lake Park — 7%; and Juno
Beach — 2%.
The PGA Regional wastewater treatment plant, which provides service to the
participating governments, has a current design capacity of 12.0 mgd. Average annual
daily flow (AADF) is 8.15 mgd and maximum daily flow (MDF) is 9.9 mgd.
Related to the approval of development orders, Seacoast requires developers to
upgrade the capacity of existing systems or build new systems to meet their needs in
order to ensure that capacity is available.
Current wastewater use by the Village is estimated at 1,323,171 gallons per day (i.e.
population of 12,553 residents x 107 gallons per capita per day). It is projected that the
Village's wastewater needs, using population projections (13,091 residents) prepared in
the Village's 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report, and the Seacoast LOS, will attain a
level of 1,400,737 gallons per day by 2011 (i.e. during the FY 2010 — FY 2014 planning
)eriod), by which time buildout is projected to occur.
The Village's adopted LOS standard for wastewater treatment and disposal is as follows:
Average Day Generation: Residential - 66 gallons/capita/day; Non-residential -
1,060 gallons/acre/day.
11
Maximum Day Generation: Residential - 104 gallons/capita/day; Nonresidential -
1,721 gallons/acre/day.
Per the Capital Improvements element, the above generation rates are to be used for
planning purposed for the Village. Actual determination of flow rates used as the basis
for plant capacity, main extension and tax charges shall be negotiated by individual
property owners and Seacoast.
The Village has continued to implement its policy of prohibiting central wastewater
service in Planning Area 1 (i.e. "Non -Service Area").
The Village is meeting its LOS standard for sanitary sewer service, and no additional
improvements to the PGA Regional wastewater treatment plant are required to serve the
projected buildout situation during the FY 2010 - FY 2014 period.
Since the wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal facilities are
owned, operated and maintained by Seacoast, the Village has no responsibility or
authority to provide for system improvements.
2. Potable Water - Potable water service within the corporate limits, including
treatment and distribution is also provided by Seacoast Utility Authority (Seacoast).
Seacoast directly bills residents within the Village using its services.
Seacoast owns and operates two treatment plants; the Richard Road facility, with a
peak -day capacity of 7.5 mgd and the Hood Road facility, with a peak -day capacity of
23.0 mgd. Combined, the two facilities currently produce an average of approximately
18.3 mgd. According to the report entitled Preliminary Design Evaluation for
Modifications to the Hood Road and Richard Road Water Treatment Plants (December
2005), the current treatment facilities have the capacity to serve projected buildout of
that portion of the Seacoast service area located east of the C-18 Canal, including North
Palm Beach. Future expansion may be necessary depending upon development
approvals to the west of the C-18 Canal.
Related to the approval of development orders, Seacoast requires developers to
upgrade the capacity of existing systems or build new systems to meet their needs in
order to ensure that capacity is available.
Current potable water use by the Village is estimated at 2,397,762 gallons per day (i.e.
population of 12,553 residents x 191 gallons per capita per day). It is projected that the
Village's potable water needs, using population projections (13,091 residents) prepared
in this EAR, and the Seacoast LOS, will attain a level of 2,500,381 gallons per day by
2011 (i.e. during the FY 2010 — FY 2014 planning period), by which time buildout is
projected to occur.
The Village's adopted LOS standard for potable water consumption is as follows:
Average Day Generation: Residential - 99 gallons/capita/day; Non-residential -
1,874 gallons/acre/day.
12
Maximum Day Generation: Residential - 147 gallons/capita/day; Nonresidential
— 2,782 gallons/acre/day.
Per the Capital Improvements element, the above generation rates are to be used for
planning purposes for the Village. Actual determination of flow rates used as the basis
for plant capacity, main extension and tax charges shall be negotiated by individual
property owners and Seacoast.
The Village has continued to implement its policy of prohibiting central potable water
service in Planning Area 1 (i.e. "Non -Service Area").
The Village is meeting its LOS standard for potable water consumption, and no
additional improvements to the Seacoast regional potable water treatment plants are
required to serve the projected buildout situation during the FY 2010 - FY 2014 period.
Since the potable water withdrawal, treatment and distribution facilities are owned,
operated and maintained by Seacoast, the Village has no responsibility or authority to
provide for system improvements.
3. Solid Waste -The Sanitation Division of the Public Services Department offers
collection service 3 -times per week to all single family and multi -family residences within
the Village. The Village also collects commercial solid wastes with the exception of
certain large restaurants, which contract directly with a private hauler. Costs for these
services are recovered through ad valorem taxes and no additional fees are charged to
residents to finance this service. Waste is transported to the Palm Beach County Solid
Waste Authority facility on Dyer Boulevard.
The Village also provides additional service for the separate collection of newspapers on
a once per week basis. The Village sells the newspapers to a local purchaser.
The Village does not provide collection service for construction sites; individual
developers are responsible for collecting and disposing of wastes generated on their
properties.
The Village owns, operates and maintains its own equipment for solid waste collection.
The Village Sanitation Division has packer trucks each with a twenty cubic yard capacity,
satellite collection (jitney) trucks with one and one-half ton capacity, and one sedan.
The Village's adopted LOS standard for solid waste collection and disposal is as follows:
Average Generation Rate: Residential: Single -Family - 0.926 tons/capita/year;
Multiple -Family - 0.588 tons/capita/year; Non -Residential - 6.0 tons/acre/year
According to recent correspondence (1/6/2010), Solid Waste Authority disposal facilities
can accommodate the Village's needs during 2010, and for the five and ten-year
planning periods.
The Sanitation Division is responsible for providing solid waste collection and transfer
services for the Village. Routine maintenance for all Village vehicles is performed by the
Fleet Maintenance Division. Capital costs associated with maintaining the Village's LOS
standard include the purchase or lease of collection fleet vehicles and major purchases
13
related to maintenance facilities. Capital expenditures have historically been considered
on an annual "as -needed" basis.
The Village is meeting its LOS standard for solid waste collection and disposal services.
However, future improvements are necessary to maintain the current level of service.
Additional improvements required during the FY 2010 - 2014 period are itemized in
Table 13.

4. Storm Water Drainage —The Streets Maintenance Division is responsible for
maintaining the Village's drainage system, including administration of the NPDES permit
program.
The entire Village discharges its storm water into tidal waters. There are four main tidal
bodies into which storm water is discharge by the Village: (1) the Earman River; (2) the
North Palm Beach Waterway; (3) the Intracoastal Waterway; and (4) the northern portion
of Lake Worth.
A complete and integrated ground surface percolation and positive underground piping
storm water drainage system is installed throughout the platted and developed areas of
North Palm Beach. The storm water drainage system is Village -owned and maintained.
The system, in residential areas, consists of roadside swales without curbs and gutters.
Surplus water from the swales is diverted to catch basins within a closed conduit piping
system then discharged via outfall to the manmade waterways, the Earman River, the
Intracoastal Waterway, or Lake Worth.
The commercial areas of the Village are confined to frontages along U.S. 3EE
1 and
Northlake Boulevard. These roads are urbanized and have curbs and gutters and
positive pipe outfalls to either the Earman River or Lake Worth. This system is
maintained by the Florida State Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Village.
The Village does not have a master drainage plan. The existing drainage system was
built in a piece -meal fashion over time with the majority of the existing system having
been constructed between 1956 and 1970. Therefore, the major portion of the Village's
storm water drainage system was constructed prior to any discharge regulations. The
Village's adopted LOS standard for drainage is as follows:
Design Storm: 3 -Year frequency, 24 hour duration (one -day); Rainfall intensity
curve, as established by the South Florida Water Management District.
14
According to a prior Village engineering consultant, the drainage system was, more than
likely, designed similar to a Florida Department of Transportation system with a
minimum three year storm recurrence interval. The South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) minimum drainage design criterion for local governments is a three-
year, one day duration storm event.
It is therefore determined that the design capacity and the level of service is estimated to
be at least satisfactory to meet the SFWMD minimum local government criteria. As a
result, the capacity of the system appears to be adequate for the Village.
The Village maintains scheduled inspections and maintenance to assure long-term
effectiveness. Currently, the Village inspects each catch basin within the Village at least
once per year and identifies needed maintenance and improvements.
Capital costs associated with maintaining the Village's LOS standard include catch -basin
and storm drain system repairs and replacement of damaged or inefficient or inadequate
storm drainage system components. Capital expenditures have historically been
considered on an annual "as -needed" basis.
The Village is currently meeting its LOS standard for stormwater drainage, and no
additional improvements are currently required during the FY 2010 - 2014 period.
However, "place holder" Table 14 is included so that projects may be addressed in future
years.

5. Roadways —The Village's principal roadway system is comprised of the following:
Urban Minor Arterial — U.S. Highway 1, Northlake Boulevard and Alternate A -1-A; and
Urban Collector— Prosperity Farms Road, Lighthouse Drive and A -1-A.
The Comprehensive Plan currently classifies Village roadways based upon the number
of traffic signals per mile and related driving times, an alternative methodology
previously permitted by the Florida Department of Community Affairs. LOS standards
consistent with the alternative methodology were also adopted, as follows:
"Average Annual Daily/Peak Hour LOS Standards at D/D, consistent with the
Florida Department of Transportation minimum acceptable operating levels of
service standards, for listed Village roadways, and Levekof-Service D traffic
volumes (i.e. Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the Transportation element)".
15
By Comprehensive Plan amendment, the Village designated Prosperity Farms Road,
between Northlake Boulevard and Burns Road a constrained facility and not subject to
the Village -wide LOS standards, and designated the roadway a Constrained Roadway at
a Lower Level of Service (CRALLS) facility. Development orders impacting the CRALLS
segment are evaluated using the following specific level of service standards: AADT -
20,950 trips; and Peak Hour - 1,948 trips.
It was further determined that before Prosperity Farms Road, between Northlake
Boulevard and Burns Road may be constructed as a 4 or 5 lane facility the following
must occur: (1). The CRALLS volumes on this roadway segment must be reached; and
(2) the parallel segment of Alternate AIA must be a 6 -lane facility and operate below its
adopted level -of -service; or (3) the parallel segment of U.S. Highway No. 1 must operate
below its adopted levekof-service.
The Village's current LOS standards, with the exception of those adopted for Prosperity
Farms Road under the CRALLS designation, are consistent with those used by Palm
Beach County to implement the countywide Traffic Performance Standards of the
Unified Land Development Code (ULDC). The system uses State functional roadway
classifications and peak -hour traffic volumes to determine levels -of -service. As a result,
for the purposes of this analysis, the countywide system is used to determine the
Village's current levekof-service.
Using traffic count data supplied by the Palm Beach County and peak -hour LOS D traffic
volumes provided in the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards section of
the ULDC (Table 13B), it is concluded that all of the Village's primary roads are currently
operating an acceptable level -of -service. As a result, the Village has not issued any de
minimus traffic concurrency approvals during FY 2009.
Available traffic count data and alevel-of service comparison for the Village's primary
road system are presented in Table 15.

The Streets Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining local sidewalks, roads
and bridges within the Village. Capital costs associated with maintaining the Village's
LOS standard include repair and replacement of sidewalks, streets, traffic signs and
bridges, and administration of the annual asphalt overlay (street re -surfacing) program.
Capital expenditures have generally been considered on an annual "as -needed" basis.
However, major improvements, such as the Lighthouse Bridge repairs, are planned in
advance.
No roadway improvements are currently required during the FY 2010 - 2014 period.
However, future improvements are necessary to maintain the current level of service.
Additional improvements required during the FY 2010 - 2014 period are itemized in
Table 16.
6. Recreation and Open Space —The minimum acceptable LOS standard for Village
recreation and open space is three acres per 1,000 population. A comparison of data
from Table 17 (excluding the North Palm Beach Country Club acreage), with the
Village's current population (47.88 acres/12,553 residents) indicates that North Palm
Beach is currently providing 3.8 acres per 1,000 population and meeting its LOS
standard.

The Leisure Services Department is responsible for maintaining parks and library
facilities within the Village and the Anchorage Marina and Storage Facty. Capital costs
associated with maintaining the Village's LOS standard include renovation, upgrading
and expansion of facilities and purchase of additional equipment and facilities.
Operations and improvements at the North Palm Beach Country Club, although owned
and operated by the Village, are accounted for in a separate enterprise fund. Included
operations are golf and food and beverage. Previous tennis and pool operations have
been transferred to the Village's recreation function.
Capital expenditures have generally been considered on an annual "as -needed" basis.
However, major improvements, including those funded by grants or loans, are planned in
advance.
No recreation and open space improvements are currently required during the FY 2010 -
2014 period. However, future improvements are planned to maintain the current level of
service and increase the number of facilities. Additional improvements planned during
the FY 2010 - 2014 period are itemized in Table 18.

D. Five -Year Schedule of Improvements
The purpose of the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) and Five -Year Schedule of
Improvements is to identify the capital improvements necessary to implement the
Comprehensive Plan and ensure that adopted levekof-service (LOS) standards are
achieved and maintained for concurrency related facilities (transportation, sanitary
sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation and public schools). If
LOS standards are not met, concurrency management requires a local government to
deny applications for development orders and permits until the deficiency is addressed.
The Five -Year Schedule must address deficiencies and be financially feasible.
The 2005 Growth Management Legislation (Senate Bill 360) added additional financial
feasibility requirements for the Capital Improvements Element. Financial feasibility
means that sufficient revenues are currently available, or will be available from
committed funding sources (e.g. ad valorem taxes, impact fees, developer contributions,
bonds, state and federal funds, etc.) which are adequate to fund the projected costs of
capital improvements necessary to ensure that adopted levekof-service standards are
achieved and maintained. Revenue sources must be included in the 5 -year Schedule of
Improvements and be available during the planning period of the comprehensive plan.
IL's
Objective 1 of the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan directs the
Village to prepare a Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, and Policy 4.3 directs that it
be updated on an annual basis.
Components of the Schedule of Improvements
1. Fiscal Responsibility
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village's financial planning and
control systems. All departments are required to submit requests for appropriations,
including capital projects, to the Village Manager. Requests are the starting point for
developing a proposed budget, which is then presented to the Council for review and
approval. The legal level of budgetary control over expenditures is maintained at the
fund level in order to ensure compliance with finance -related requirements.
In general, the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements must include those improvements
projects for which the local government has fiscal responsibility. Per state law, North
Palm Beach must also include some additional projects for which the Village has no
fiscal responsibility, such as school facilities, water supply improvements, certain
transportation projects, and privately financed projects necessary to maintain adopted
LOS standards.
2. Time Period
The Five -Year Schedule of Improvements must be divided into five one-year (fiscal year)
periods. The current Five -Year Schedule of Improvements encompasses the FY 2010
to 2014 period.
3. Project Description and General Location
The Five -Year Schedule of Improvements must include the following four categories of
capital improvements:
• Those that are necessary to maintain adopted LOS standards and are the
responsibility of the Village of North Palm Beach (Ref: Table 19A).
• Those that are necessary to maintain adopted LOS standards and are the
responsibility of private parties (Ref: Table 19B).
• Those that implement non -LOS Comprehensive Plan directives and are the
responsibility of the Village of North Palm Beach (Ref: Table 19C).
• Public schools, water supply facilities, and transportation facilities that are the
responsibility of other agencies (Ref: Table 19D).
Each project in the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements
description and a citation of Comprehensive Plan consistency.
must include a general

4. Project Costs and Schedule
Rule 9J-5.003(12), Florida Administrative Code defines "capital improvements" as
physical assets which are large-scale and high in cost; generally non-recurring and ay
require multi-year financing. The Village of North Palm Beach has defined a capital
improvement (Ref: Policy A1.1 of the Capital Improvements Element) as a large-scale
project costing $10,000 or more. Normal maintenance activities are not included. Costs
assigned to projects identified in Tables 19A — 19D and scheduling are presented in
Table 20.
5. Revenue Sources
Revenue sources that will be used to fund each project must be indicated in the Five -
Year Schedule of Improvements. Projections of available Government Funds revenues
during the FY 2010 — 2014 period are presented in Table 10. Capital improvements
costs that exceed those projections must be funded by additional Government Funds
revenues, deductions from the undesignated fund balance, or non-operating revenue
sources. Alternatively, the Village may elect to fund improvements by alternative
sources even if Government Funds revenues are available. Additional sources of
revenue include bonds; federal, state and local grants; special assessments; impact fees
and developer contributions; etc.
In order for the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements to be financially feasible, sufficient
revenues must be available from "committed funding sources" for projects scheduled
during the initial three years. Projects in Years 4 and 5 may be scheduled from revenue
sources that are either "committed" or "planned".

4. Project Costs and Schedule
Rule 9J-5.003(12), Florida Administrative Code defines "capital improvements" as
physical assets which are large-scale and high in cost; generally non-recurring and ay
require multi-year financing. The Village of North Palm Beach has defined a capital
improvement (Ref: Policy A1.1 of the Capital Improvements Element) as a large-scale
project costing $10,000 or more. Normal maintenance activities are not included. Costs
assigned to projects identified in Tables 19A — 19D and scheduling are presented in
Table 20.
5. Revenue Sources
Revenue sources that will be used to fund each project must be indicated in the Five -
Year Schedule of Improvements. Projections of available Government Funds revenues
during the FY 2010 — 2014 period are presented in Table 10. Capital improvements
costs that exceed those projections must be funded by additional Government Funds
revenues, deductions from the undesignated fund balance, or non-operating revenue
sources. Alternatively, the Village may elect to fund improvements by alternative
sources even if Government Funds revenues are available. Additional sources of
revenue include bonds; federal, state and local grants; special assessments; impact fees
and developer contributions; etc.
In order for the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements to be financially feasible, sufficient
revenues must be available from "committed funding sources" for projects scheduled
during the initial three years. Projects in Years 4 and 5 may be scheduled from revenue
sources that are either "committed" or "planned".

A "committed" funding source is one which is available for and dedicated to financing
capital improvements included in the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, and based
upon expected revenues from an existing source.
A "planned" funding source is one that is not currently available to the Village to fund
capital improvements. A "planned" revenue source is one which requires a referendum,
grant funding decision, bond issue, loan agreement, or other action to secure the source.
Once the required action occurs, the revenue source becomes "committed". The use of
"planned" revenue sources in the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements should be
accompanied by appropriate policies in the Capital Improvements Element oriented to
securing the source. Revenue sources for planned capital improvements are presented
in Table 21, including a determination of whether each source is committed or planned.
6. Financial Feasibility
Information presented in this analysis indicates that proposed capital improvements for
the five-year planning period are financially feasible. The Village should continue to
update Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements on an annual basis, considering
changes in LOS, detailed revenue projections and changes in funding priorities in order
to adequately determine financial feasibility.

E. Capital Improvements Element Amendments
Several Capital Improvements Element amendments are necessary to meet the state -
mandated requirements. Necessary amendments include the following:
• The Capital Improvements Element must include a schedule of capital
improvements which are necessary to ensure that adopted level -of service
standards are achieved and maintained.
• Section 11.4.1 of the Capital Improvements Element incorporates the Five -Year
Schedule of Improvements. It is recommended that Section 11.4.1 be amended
in order to update the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, as follows:
11.4.1 Five -Year Schedule of Improvements
The North Palm Beach Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for Fiscal Years
�o°-, °�0 2010 through 299984 2014 is presented in T�h�� � � `'°. Tables 11-2 to
11-4. The School District of Palm Beach County S x Five Year Capital Improvement
Schedule for Fiscal Years 2001 2010 through 2406 2014 is presented in Appendix A.
Pablo I A review of other Comprehensive Plan elements leads to the conclusion
that the Capital Improvements element Goal, Objectives and Policies and the 5 Five -
Year Schedule of Improvements are internally consistent.

• For capital improvements that will be funded by a developer, financial feasibility
must be demonstrated by an enforceable development agreement, and be
reflected in the 5 -year Schedule of Improvements.
• Objective 3 of the Capital Improvements Element addresses the issue of capital
improvements funding. It is recommended that Policies 3.4 and 3.5 be added to
the Capital Improvements Element to read as follows:
Policy 3.4. For capital improvements to be funded by a developer financial
feasibilitX shall be demonstrated by an enforceable development agreementI and
be reflected in the Five-year Schedule of Improvements.
Policy_ 3.5. Financial feasibility means that sufficient revenues are current)
available or will be available from committed funding sources for the first 3 years
or will be available from committed or planned funding sources for nears 4 and 5.
of the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements. Committed sources of revenue
shall include ad valorem taxes bonds state and federal funds tax revenues
impact fees and developer contributions which are adequate to fund the
projected costs of the capital improvements identified in the Comprehensive Plan
necessary to ensure that adopted levekof-service standards are achieved and
maintained within the five-year period.
• If the local government uses a planned revenue source that requires a
referendum or other actions to secure the source, the plan must identify other
existing revenue sources in the event that the required actions do not occur.

Objective 3 of the Capital Improvements Element addresses the issue of capital
improvements funding. It is recommended that Policy 3.6 be added to the
Capital Improvements Element to read as follows:
Policy 3.6. If the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements identifies a planned
revenue source that requires a referendum or other action(s) to secure the
source, the Comprehensive Plan shall identify an alternative existing revenue
sources) in the event that the required actions do not occur.
• The schedule of improvements must include transportation improvements
included in the Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) transportation
improvement program if those improvements are required to maintain adopted
level -of -service standards.
Table 18 D, above, provides for the accommodation of MPO projects within the
Village's Five -Year Schedule of Improvements. As there are no projects
proposed within the corporate limits that are required to maintain the Village's
LOS standards, none are included in the proposed Five -Year Schedule of
Improvements amendments.
• The schedule of improvements must be reviewed on an annual basis to the
maximum extent feasible and modified as necessary to maintain adopted level -
of -service standards.
Policy 1.1 and Policy 4.3 of the Capital Improvements Element requires that the
Village develop, adopt and annually update a five-year capital improvements
program. It is recommended that Policy 4.3 be amended to specifically reference
the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements being added to the Element, as follows:
Policy 4.3: As part of its budgeting process q=he the Village shall adopt and
annually update the Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, a primary purpose
of which is to maintain the Village's adopted Level -of -Service (LOS) standards.
The results of this update shall be incorporated within the five-year capital budget
plan as part of the annual Village budget process.
® An amendment to the comprehensive plan is required to update the schedule of
improvements on an annual basis, or to eliminate, defer, or delay the
construction of any facility in the schedule of improvements.
It is recommended that Policy 4.3 of the Capital Improvements Element which
requires that the City develop, adopt and annually update afive-year schedule of
improvements be further amended to include the annual Comprehensive Plan
amendment requirement. The full proposed amendment to Policy 4.3 reads as
follows:
Policy 4.3. As part of its budgeting process Th
e the Village shall adopt and
annually update the � Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, a primary purpose
of which is to maintain the Village's adopted Level -of -Service (LOS) standards.
The results of this update shall be incorporated within the five-year capital met
plan as part of the annual Village budget process. An amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan is required to update the five-year schedule of capital
improvements on an annual basis, or to eliminate, defer, or delay the
construction of any facility in the schedule of improvements.
• Amendments implementing these requirements must be filed no later than
December 1, 2011, as well as each successive year thereafter.
The Village acknowledges the annual amendment requirement. The
amendments to the Capital Improvements Element proposed to implement the
requirements, presented in this subsection, are included in the ordinance being
filed with this analysis.
