. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
HISTORY
The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida ("the Village") was incorporated
in 1956 pursuant to Chapter 31481, Laws of Florida, Extraordinary Session
1956. The Village is located in the northeast portion of Palm Beach County,
Florida. Its municipal area comprises approximately 1,900 acres of land and
1,200 acres of lakes, canals and lagoons. The Village's non-seasonal
population consists of approximately 12,000 residents, which increases
during the winter months to approximately 18,000 people. The Village
operates under the Council Manager form of government and provides the
following services to its residents: public safety, planning and zoning,
sanitation, recreation, library, parks, marinas and a country club. The
Village Council (the `Council") is responsible for legislative and fiscal
control of the Village.

Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the Village are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set
ofself-balancing accounts that comprise its assets and other debits, liabilities, fund equity and other credits,
revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and
accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by
which spending activities are controlled. The various funds and account groups are reported by generic
classification within the fmancial statemcn[s as follows:
Governmental Fund Twes
General Fund -used [o account for all financial resources applicable to the general operations of the
Village governmen[ except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital Projecu Fund -used to account for resources principally provided by general long-terra debt and
used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities other than those financed by proprietary
funds.
Proprietary Fund Twe
Enterprise Fund -used to account for operators that provided services on a user chazge basis to the public
and activities where the periodic measurement of net income is deemed appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes. Proprietary fund
activities and basis of accounting are svuilar to those ofren found in the private sector. The Village's sole
proprietary activity is the operation of a golf and country club.
Fiduciary Fund Twes
Trus[ Funds -used 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 -used to account for assets Geld by the Village. The Village retains no equity interest in
these funds.
Account Groups
Account groups are not funds since they do not reflect available fmancial 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 Account Group -used to maintain control and cost information for all fixed assets
other than those accounted for in the proprietary fund.
General Long-Term Debt Account Group -used to record outstanding long-term debt other than debt
recorded in the proprietary fund.

• Basis of Accounting _
. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts
and relates to the timing of the meazuremenu made, regazdless of the measurement focus applied.
All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual bazis of accounting. Their revenues
are rccognized in the period in which they become suscepnble to accrual, i.e., when they become
measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period. Ad valorem taxes and charges for services
are susceptible to accrual when collected in the current yeaz or within 60 days subsequent to year-end,
provided that amounts received penain 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 pemilts, fines and forfeitures and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenues
when received in cash because they are generally not meaztuable until actually received. Occupational
licence revenues collected in advance of periods to which they relate are recorded az deferred revenues.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual bazis of accounting when the related
fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include principal and interest on genera] long-term
debt which is recognized when due.
The proprietary fund and pension trust funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Thew
revenues are recognized when earned, and their expenses art recognized when they are incurred.
Membership fees of the proprietary fund that are collected in advance of the period to which they apply are
recorded az deferred revenue.
Budgetary Accounting
State of Florida statures require that all municipal governments establish budgetary systems and approve
balanced annual operating budgeu. The Council annually adopts an operating budget and appropriates
funds for the general fund. 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 1". The proposed budget includes
expenditures and the means of financing them
During the third week of July, the Council holds public meetings to obtain taxpayer comments.
Upon completion of the public bearings and prior to October 1, a final operating budget is legally
enacted through the passage of an ordinance. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in
the budgetary process.

Investments (Ordinance ,5.200,
Village of North Palm Dcach
The Village has adopted the Investment Policy pursuant to Florida Statutes chapter 218.415(17).
Purpose
The Village invests any surplus funds that are in excess of the amounu needed to meet current expenses.
This investmcnt polity places the highest priority on the safety and liquidity of funds.
Scope
This investment policy applies to all the investrnent activity of the Village, except for its employees
pension funds, which are organized and administered separately, or for funds related to the issttance of debt
where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect for such funds.
Funds included:
a. General Fund
b. Special Revenue Funds
c. Enterprise Funds
d. Debt Service Funds
e. Any new funds created by the governing body unless specifically exempt.
Objectives
The primary objectives, in priority of order, of investment activities shall be safety of principal, liquidity of
funds, and maximizing investment income.
1) Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of investment activities. Investments shall be undertaken
in a manner that seeks to insure preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. All other investment
objectives are secondary to the safety of principal. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and
interest rate risk.
a. Credit Risk-
Credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failtue of the security issuer or backer, will be n l>=m-red by:
i. Limiting investmenu to the safest types of securities.
ii. Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker;deaters,
intermediaries, and advisers with which the Village will do
business.
iii. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on
individual securities will not place an undue financial burden on
the Village.

.\ceounrin, Policies S Proxdu:a >[anual Villa~~r of Wrth Pa!m 6rach
• iv. Monitoring all of the Village's investmenu to anticipate and
respond appropriately to changing market conditions.
-b. Interestltate Risk-
The Village will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due
to changes in general interest rate by:
i. Structuring the investment portfolio so that the securities mature to
meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding
the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity .
ii. Investing operating funds primarily in short-term securities, money
mazket mutual funds, or similar investment pools unless it is
anticipated that long-term securities can be held to maturity
without jeopardizing the liquidity requirements.
2) Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be
reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that the securities mature
concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands. Furthermore, since all possible cash demands
cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale
markets. Portions of the portfolio may be placed in interest-bearing checking/savings accounu with
qualified public depositories. Securities and Exchange Commission registered money mazket funds with
the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency, or local government
investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
3) Investment Income
Without compromising safety and liquidity, the highest possible [oral return should be obtained on the
Village's funds. Income will include interest/dividends received as well as any realized or unrealized
gains and losses of principal of the underlying security.
Performance Measurements
The investment income objective is to regularly exceed the average rate of retum on three month U.S.
Treasury Bills, or the average rate an Federal Ftmds, whichever is higher. These indices are coatidcred
benchmarks for risk-free investment transactions and therefore comprise a minimum standard Cor the
portfolio's rate of return. The investment program rosy seek to augment retttrru above this threshold,
consistent with risk limitations identified herein and prudent investment principles.
Prudence and Ethical Standards
1. Prudence '
The standard of prudence to be used shall be the "prudent person rule", which states that:
Investments should be made with judgment and care, under ctrcumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their owv affairs,
not for speculation, but for the investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well
as the probable income to be derived from the investment.
