Submitted herewith is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Village of Miami Shores, Florida
(The "Village ") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 as required by Chapter 11.45 of the Florida
Statutes and Chapter 10.550 of the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida.
The "Village" Finance Department is responsible for the content of this financial report, and it is the official
report of the Village. We believe this report represents a fair presentation of the Village's financial position
and results of operations at the Village as measured by the financial activities of its various funds and account
groups and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the
Village's financial affairs have been included. The Village's independent auditors, Rachlin & Cohen, Certified
Public Accountants, have concurred in issuing an unqualified opinion on the financial statements as presented
herein.
This report consists of four sections. The Introductory Section contains names of Principal Officials of
the Village, organizational structure and highlighted financial information. The transmittal letter and table
of contents are included in this section.
The Financial Section contains the Independent Auditor's Report General Purpose Financial Statements,
Notes to the Financial Statements and schedules for all funds and account groups which disclose the financial
position and results of operations for the 1993 -1994 fiscal year. The presentation of this financial report
is being made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the state and local governments
as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The Statistical Section contains data that are intended to reflect social, economic and financial trends, as
well as the fiscal capacity of the Village. It is hoped that this information will give users of this report
a better historical perspective and assist in assessing current financial status.
The fourth section includes the Supplementary Auditor's Reports required under Governmental Auditing
Standards and Circular A -128.

THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
The Village of Miami Shores has been incorporated since 1932 and is a political subdivision of the State of Florida.
The Village operates under a council- manager form of government and provides General Government, Public
Safety, Public Works and Recreation Services to an estimated 10,000 residents. In addition, during the school
year, the Village also provides services for an additional 7,700 college students. The Council appoints the Village
Manager, who is the chief administrative officer of the Village and responsible
for implementing policies adopted by the Village Council.
This report includes all funds and account groups tirai- mtoritrolled by- or-dependent- -on- the - Village Couricii. The
criteria used in determining the reporting entity are consistent with Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 1`j "Defining the Governmental Reporting Entity."
These criteria deal with various manifestations of oversight which include criteria such as the selection of the governing
body, designation of management, the ability to influence operations and fiscal accountability.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Village's accounting records for governmental and similar fiduciary funds are maintained on a modified accrual
basis, with revenues being recorded when available and measurable and expenditures being recorded at the time
a liability is incurred. Accounting records for the proprietary and pension trust operations are maintained on an
accrual basis.
Control of the annual budget, adopted by the Village Council, is maintained by a constant review by the Finance
Director and Village Manager with monthly financial reports being prepared for internal use. The budget is amended
in accordance with provisions of the budget policy during the fiscal year.
Internal accounting controls have been designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding
safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial records
for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes
that the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the evaluation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgment by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework We believe that the Village's internal accounting
controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The Village maintains a pooled cash account for all funds under its control. The cash management program involves
a mix of maintaining principal and earnings free from risk, maintaining adequate liquidity to meet our obligations
and maximizing investment return through the solicitation of competitive rates from various investment sources.
The Village invested mainly in the State of Florida Local Government Investment Trust Fund for fiscal
year 1994. The average yields on maturing investments during the year ranged from 3.35% to 4.17 %, producing
interest earnings for the year of $139,000, excluding the Village's Pension Fund.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS
General Fund revenues amount to $7,855,604 for the period, an increase of .4% over the previous fiscal
year. General property taxes produced 34% of the General Fund revenues during the year compared to
34.7 % for the previous year. The amount of General Fund revenues from various sources and the increases
and decreases over the previous year are shown in the following tabulation:
REVENUE
Two revenue sources experienced significant increases and one revenue source experienced significant
decreases during the fiscal year. The increase in Intergovernmental Revenue is due to an interlocal agreement

the Comprehensive Plan. As for fines & forfeitures, the Village generates an additional $10,000 in delinquent
charges from outstanding garbage bills. The Code Enforcement generates an additional $30,000 in fines
compared to FY 1993. The decrease in Miscellaneous Revenue is due to FEMA reimbursement.
EXPENDITURES
Operating expenditures in the General Fund for governmental purposes amounted to $7,467,241, an increase
of 6.7 % over the preceding year. The expenditures for the major functions of the Village are shown in

The increase in General Government is due to the expenses incurred in marketing the Village in FY 1994
in the amount of $29,000. Further, the funding of trees replacement was received from FEMA and the
Village reimbursed the Country Club for those expenses.
The increase in Public Safety is partly due to the payment of compensation absences to the Assistant Chief
of Police when he resigned in June 1994. Also, because of union negotiations, the police officers received
an increase in pension benefits in return of the cost -of- living increase. The Village's contributions to the
pension benefit increased approximately $42,000 in FY 94 compared to FY 93.
As for the increase in Culture/Recreation, this is mainly due to the replacement of trees in the Parks Department
from Hurricane Andrew. The increase in the debt service is due to Council's decision in February 1994
to pay off the ten -year loan issued by Barnett Bank.
Total fund balance of the General Fund at September 30, 1994 was $1,752,357 as compared to $1,781,730
at September 30, 1993.
Presented below is an analysis of General Fund expendable resources designated for capital outlay at September

PROPRIETARY OPERATIONS
ENTERPRISE FUND
In Fiscal Year 1992 the Village negotiated an interlocal agreement for the Village to participate in the County's
stormwater utility system. The first billing from Dade County to all users was July 1993 and was assessed at $2.50
per Equivalent Residential Unit. As of September 30, 1994, the Stormwater Utility Fund has a fund balance of
$80,557. Capital expenditures will begin to incur in FY 95.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
Commencing in fiscal year 1990, the Village instituted a protected self- insurance program with a self - insurance
retention of $25,000 per occurrence for property and liability and $75,000 for workers compensation. The aggregate
loss reserve fund is $350,000. For Fiscal Year 1993 excess coverage premiums, state fees and management fees
totaled $274,130, and claims of $275,267. As of September 30, 1994, $277,500 was reserved for IBNR (incurred
but not reported claims), $144,948 was reserved to settle claims and therefore resulting in a fund equity, of $274,402.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS ACCOUNT GROUP
As of September 30, 1994, the General Fixed Assets group includes all assets used in performance of general
governmental functions and the Country Club. Since the Club was leased in March 1990 all assets belonging
to the Club were transferred to the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Depreciation of Country Club Assets
was calculated until September 30, 1989. A total of $1,347,119 Country Club assets (Land - $580,917, Buildings -
$347,417, Improvements Other Than Buildings - $261,763 and Equipment - $157,022) were transferred to the
General Fixed Assets Account Group.
As of September 30, 1994 the Villages' General Fixed Assets amount to $7,309,375. The total amount represents
the original cost or estimated cost of the assets and bears no relation to their present value except the assets transferred
from the Country Club, which were depreciated to the date of transfer. Depreciation is not computed in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group.
FIDUCIARY OPERATIONS
The Miami Shores Village Pension Plan is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Village Council
that is responsible for the administration of the plan The Village is responsible for funding any actuarial deficiency
which may arise.
During the year, the Pension Fund revenues were derived from State of Florida contributions for the police
officers of $22,157, employee contributions of $213,668, Village contributions of $214,712 and net investment
loss of $113,099. Fund balance at the end of the year amounted to $9,155,034, as compared to $9,324,645 for
the preceding year.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
During the year ended September 30, 1987, Miami Shores Village and Miami Shores Country Club entered into
a 10 year lease financing commitment for a total drawdown of $1,475,000 over a two -year period. Funds were
used for capital acquisitions. In February 1994, the Council decided to appropriate $298,000 from fund balance
to pay off this loan.
In 1991, the City issued revenue bonds to fund the purchase of the streetsweeper at $83,782; crosswalk paving
at $60,000 and the driving range project of $300,000.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Commencing in fiscal year 1990, Miami Shores Village is functioning under a protected self - insurance program.
Under the program, the City paid $274,130 in premiums and administrative fees and experienced total payments
of claims of $421,835 from fiscal year 1990 to fiscal year 1994.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
Miami Shores Village is one of the older, well - established communities in South Florida. The Village is fully
developed with very little new construction activity. As a consequence of these conditions, this Village is faced
with the problem of a static revenue base. This community also supports several churches and a private religion
educational institution which have removed property from the Village's tax rolls. As the educational institution
has expanded, additional land has been removed from the tax rolls. All of these
factors place the Village of Miami Shores in an unfavorable position with respect to future tax revenues. The
Village currently levies a millage rate of 8.66, while Florida statutes impose a cap on millage rates at 10 mills.
There is no industrial area in Miami Shores. It is mainly a residential neighborhood. The downtown area that
consists of approximately five blocks, are mainly office buildings. Retail businesses, even with the help of the
Downtown Revitalization Department in the past few years, have not been functioning well. The Village will hire
a Marketing Director in Fiscal Year 1995 to promote Miami Shores Village hoping to attract quality business
and residents to the Village.
The City Administration is investigating the possibility of annexing neighborhood unincorporated areas to generate
additional revenue for the City. The Village also is looking into the feasibility of contracting police services to
Barry University.
MAJOR PROJECTS COMPLETED IN FY 1994
1. The Village expensed $135,000 in streets resurfacing in FY 1994.
2. Trees replacement due to Hurricane Andrew was completed in FY 1994. FEMA will reimburse the Villag
for these expenses.
3. Beautification of 103rd Street was completed. This provides the Village an entrance sign to the Village and
landscape on 103 Street from N.W. 2nd Avenue to N. Miami Avenue. This project was funded from streets
enclosure budget.
MAJOR PROJECTS SCHEDULED IN FY 1995
1. The purchase of 9990 NE 2nd Avenue for the police department is expected to be completed in FY 1995.
2. Continuation on the renovation and improvement of the swimming pool project that was adopted by the Council
in 1990 for a ten -year period.
A City-wide sidewalk survey will be implemented in FY 95 to determine the areas that need improvement.

Notes to Financial Statements
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30 ,1994
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Reporting Entity
Miami Shores Village (the "Village ") is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. The Village,
which was incorporated in 1932, is located in Dade County. The Village operates under a Council -
Manager form of government. The legislative branch of the Village is composed of a five (5) member
elected Council, including an elected mayor. The Village Council is governed by the Village Charter
and by state and local laws and regulations. The Village Council is responsible for the establishment
and adoption of policy. The execution of such policy is the responsibility of the Council- appointed
Village Manager.
The reporting entity for the accompanying general purpose financial statements consists of all funds,
account groups, boards and departments in which the Village Council exercises oversight responsibility.
Oversight responsibility includes, but is not limited to, financial interdependency, selection of governing
authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations and accountability
for fiscal matters.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying general purpose financial statements present the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of the applicable fund types and account groups governed by the Village Council of
Miami Shores Village, Florida in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The following is a summary of the more significant
policies.
The accounts of the Village are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups,
each of which is considered a separate accounting entity, with a self - balancing set of accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, 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 following
funds and account groups are used by the Village:
Governmental Fund Types
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources except those that are required
to be accounted for in other funds. The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the
Village.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition
of equipment and construction of capital facilities.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2. Basis of Presentation, Continued
Proprietary Fund Types
The EnterpriseFund is used to account for operations that.are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is for user charges
to cover the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing the service. The Village
has one Enterprise Fund, the Stormwater Utility Fund.
The Internal Service Fund is used to account for the financing of goods or services provided
by one department to other departments of the Village, on a cost reimbursement basis. The
self insurance fund is the only Internal Service Fund used by the Village.
Fiduciary Fund Types
The Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by the Village in a trustee capacity for
individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other funds. The Village has four
expendable trust funds (the General Trust, Police Insurance Trust, Law Enforcement Training
Trust, Police Forfeitures Trust), and a Pension Trust Fund.
The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held in a trustee capacity or as an agent for
government employees and/or other funds. The Village has one agency fund, the Deferred
Compensation Fund.
Account Groups
These comprise a fourth category of accounting entities that are used to establish control and
accountability over the Village's general fixed assets and the unmatured principal of its general
long -term debt. Accordingly, the Village maintains a General Fixed Asset Account Group
and a General Long -Term Debt Account Group.
3. Measurement Focus
Governmental Fund Types
The General Fund and Capital Projects Fund are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial
flow" measurement focus rather than upon net income determination. This means that only
current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet with fund balance
representing available spendable resources.
Proprietary Fund Types
The Village's Enterprise Fund and Internal Service Fund are accounted for upon determination
of net income, financial position and cash flows measurement focus. Accordingly, all assets
and liabilities are included on the balance sheet, and the reported fund equity provides an
indication of the economic net worth of the fund.

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
3. Measurement Focus, Continued
Fiduciary Fund Types
Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for in a manner similar to that of governmental fund
types. The Pension Trust Fund is accounted for in a manner similar to proprietary fund types.
The Agency Fund is custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and does not involve measurement
of results of operations.
Account Groups
The General Long -Term Debt and General Fixed Assets Account Groups are concerned only
with the measurement of financial position. They are not involved with the measurement of
results of operations. Long -term indebtedness is accounted for in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Fixed assets are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account
Group.
4. Basis of Accounting
The basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized
in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The basis of accounting relates to
the timing of measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Governmental fund types are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they are susceptible to accrual,
when they become measurable and available as expendable financial resources. Available
means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities
of the current period, which, for the Village's purpose, is considered to be 60 days. Revenues,
such as taxes, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, rents and interest, are treated
as susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis. Expenditures are generally recognized
when the related fund liability is incurred. Prepaid costs are recorded in the governmental
fund types and are recorded as expenditures when used.
The Proprietary Fund types and the Pension Trust Fund are accounted for using the accrual
basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are earned, and
expenses are recognized in the period incurred.
The Village's Fiduciary Fund Types (Expendable Trusts and Agency Funds) are accounted
for on the modified accrual basis.
Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments
The Village maintains a pooled cash and investments account for all funds except the Pension
Trust Fund and Deferred Compensation Agency Fund. This enables the Village to invest large
amounts of idle cash for short periods of time and to optimize earnings potential. Equity
-23-
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
5. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments, Continued
in pooled cash and investments represents the amount owned by each fund of the Village.
Cash and investments held in the Village's Pension Trust Fund and Deferred Compensation
Agency Fund are managed by trustees. Such amounts are reported separately on the Combined
Balance Sheet - All Fund Types and Account Groups.
Investments in Governmental Fund Types and Fiduciary Fund Types except the Pension Trust
Fund and Agency Fund are stated at cost and consist of amounts on deposit with the Florida
State Board of Administration Local Government Investment Pool, a Certificate of Deposit
and U.S. Treasury Bills.
Investments of the Village's Deferred Compensation Agency Fund are stated at market and
consist of mutual funds.
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits as well as short-
term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.
6. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost determined on a first -in, first -out basis. Inventories in the General
Fund consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The initial cost is recorded as
an asset at the time the individual inventory items are purchased and is charged against operations
in the period when used (consumption method).
7. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets used in Governmental Fund Types are recorded as expenditures at the time of
purchase. Such assets are capitalized at historical cost in the General Fixed Assets Account
Group, except for public domain ( "infrastructure ") general fixed assets, consisting of certain
improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and
sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems. Donated fixed assets are recorded in the
General Fixed Assets Account Group at their fair market value at the date donated. Depreciation
is not required and has not been provided on general fixed assets.
8. Compensated Absences
Accumulated unpaid sick leave is accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Only those amounts estimated to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources
are accrued at year end with the balance of the accumulated sick leave in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group.
9. Deferred Revenues
Revenues collected in advance are deferred and recognized as income in the period earned.
In the General Fund, deferred revenues consist of Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) grant funds received in advance and not expended, prepaid occupational licenses and
refuse collection fees received that have been budgeted to pay expenditures of the subsequent
fiscal year.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
10. Encumbrances
Encumbrances are recorded at the time a purchase order or other commitment is entered into.
Encumbrances outstanding at year -end, if any, represent the estimated amount of expenditures
to result if unperformed purchase orders and other commitments at year-end are completed.
Appropriations lapse at year-end; however, the Village generally intends to honor purchase orders
and other commitments in process. As a result, encumbrances outstanding at year -end are reported
as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
11. Reserves and Designations
Fund balances are reserved to indicate that a portion of fund balance /retained earnings is not
available for appropriation or is legally segregated for a specific future use. The description
of each reserve indicates the purpose for which each was intended.
Designated fund balance indicates that a portion of fund equity has been segregated based on
tentative plans of the Village. Such plans or intent are subject to change.
Unreserved undesignated fund balance is the portion of fund equity available for any lawful use.
12. Property Taxes
Property taxes are assessed as of January 1 each year and are first billed (levied) and due the
following November 1.
Under Florida law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all county, municipal,
school board and special district property taxes are consolidated in the offices of the County Property
Appraiser and County Tax Collector. The laws for the State regulating tax assessment are also
designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. State statutes permit
municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10 mills ($10 per $1,000). The millage
rate assessed by the Village for the year ended September 30, 1994 was $8.66 per $1,000 of
assessed taxable valuation.
The tax levy of the Village is established by the Village Council prior to October 1 each year,
and the County Property Appraiser incorporates the millage into the total tax levy, which includes
Metropolitan Dade County, Dade County School Board and special district tax requirements.
All property is reassessed according to its fair market value as of January I each year. Each
assessment roll is submitted to the Executive Director of the State Department of Revenue for
review to determine if the rolls meet all of the appropriate requirements of State statutes.
All real and tangible personal property taxes are due and payable on November 1 each year or
as soon as practicable thereafter as the assessment roll is certified by the County Property Appraiser.
Metropolitan Dade County mails to each property owner on the assessment roll a notice of the
taxes due and Metropolitan Dade County also collects the taxes for the Village. Taxes may be
paid upon receipt of such notice from Metropolitan Dade County, with discounts at the rate of

four percent (4 %) if paid in the month of November, three percent (3 %) if paid in the month
of December, two percent (2 %) if paid in the month of January and one percent (1 %) if paid
in the month of February. Taxes paid during the month of March are without discount, and all
unpaid taxes on real and tangible personal property become delinquent and liens are placed on
April 1 of the year following the year in which taxes were assessed. Procedures for the collection
of delinquent taxes by Metropolitan Dade County are provided for in the laws of Florida.
13. Budget and Budgetary Accounting
The Village Council approves a total expenditure budget based on projected expenditures and
revenues for the General Fund and the Capital Projects Fund. The budget allocations among
the various organizational units are included in the Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual.
The Village follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements.
(a) The Village Manager submits to the Council a proposed operating budget for the ensuing
fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed revenues and expenditures with an
explanation regarding each expenditure that is not of a routine nature.
(b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
(c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
(d) The Village Council, by motion, may make supplemental appropriations for the year up
to the amount of revenues in excess of those estimated. There was a supplemental appropriation
during the year to pay -off the capital improvement loan.
(e) Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year
for the General Fund and Capital Projects Fund.
(f) Budgets for the General Fund and Capital Projects Fund are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
(g) The Village Manager is authorized to transfer part or all of an unencumbered appropriation
balance within departments within a fund; however, any revisions that alter the total
appropriations of any department or fund must be approved by the Village Council. The
classification detail at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is at the
department level.
(h) Unencumbered appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. Encumbered amounts are reappropriated
in the following year's budget.
(i) Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended. Individual type amendments
were not material in relation to the original appropriations.

14. Comparative Data/Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the September 30, 1993 columns have been reclassified to conform to September
30, 1994 presentation.
Comparative total data for the prior year has been presented in selected sections of the financial
statements to provide an understanding of changes in the Village's financial position and operations.
15. Memorandum Only - Total Columns
Total columns on the combined statements which are captioned "Memorandum Only" aggregate
the columnar amounts presented by fund type and account group and are presented only to facilitate
financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles nor is such data comparable
to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
B. Cash
At September 30, 1994, the carrying amount of the Village's cash was $366,799 and the bank balance
was $425,290. In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), all deposits are held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of
Florida to hold public funds. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida Securityfor Public Deposits
Act, the State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer
or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to 50% to 125% of the average daily balance
for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage
of eligible collateral (generally in the form of U.S. Government and agency securities, state or local
government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository's financial
history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public depository,
the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. Accordingly,
all amount reported as cash deposits are deemed as insured and are, therefore, not subject to classification
by credit risk category under the provisions of GASB Statement Ns 3.
C. Investments
Village administration is authorized to invest in those instruments authorized by the Florida statutes.
The Pension Trust Fund is authorized to invest in equities, preferred stocks rated A or better by Moody's
and/or Standard & Poor's, corporate debt securities rated BBB or better from Standard & Poor's and/or
Baa or better from Moody's, obligations of the U.S. Government and its fully guaranteed agencies
and debt issues convertible to equities. All other funds are authorized to invest in agencies of the
U.S. government, government trust funds and certificates of deposit.

G. Deferred Compensation Plan
The Village offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all Village employees, permits them to defer a
portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees
until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are (until paid or made available
to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the Village (without being
restricted to the provisions of benefits under the plan), subject only to the claims of the Village's
general creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of general creditors of the
Village in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each participant.
It is the opinion of management that the Village has no liability for losses under the plan but does
have the fiduciary duty that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The Village believes
that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.
The following is a summary of the increases and decreases of the deferred compensation fund for
the year ended September 30, 1994:
Fund assets (at market value) at October 1, 1993 $655,040
Deferrals of compensation 125,786
Earnings and adjustments to market value 13,518
Disbursements to employees (31,619)
Administrative expenses (8101
Fund assets (at market value) at September 30, 1994 $761915
H. Commitments and Contingencies
1. Legal Matters
The Village has several claims arising in the ordinary course of operations pending against the
Village. In the opinion of counsel for the Village, the liabilities which may arise from such
actions would not result in losses which would materially affect the financial position or the
results of operations of any of the Village's various funds. In fiscal year 1991, the Village of
Miami Shores was named as a potential responsible party in an EPA investigation. Potential
liabilities are indeterminate at this time.
2. Workers Compensation
The Village has a commitment to Dade County for a prior workers compensation claim for $285,068
as of September 30, 1994. The current portion of this claim is $25,000, which is recorded in
the General Fund. The long -term portion of $260,068 is accounted for in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Semi -annual payments are made by the Village to Dade County Risk
Management.

3. Post Retirements Benefits
The Village only offers continuation of health insurance benefits to police employees upon retirement.
The Village pays up to $100 per month for each retiree. For general employees, this benefit is
not offered.
4. Contingent Liabilities
Federal programs in which the Village participates were audited in accordance with the provisions
of U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A -128, Uniform Requirements for Grants
to State and Local Governments. Pursuant to the provisions of Circular A -128, certain major
programs were tested for compliance with applicable grant requirements. While no matters of
noncompliance were disclosed by audit, the Federal government may subject grant programs to
additional compliance tests which may result in disallowed expenditures. In the opinion of
management, future disallowances of current grant program expenditures, if any, would be immaterial.
I. Employee Retirement System
1. Plan Description
The Village is the administrator of a single - employer Public Employee Retirement System (PERS)
established by the Village to provide pension benefits for its employees. The PERS is considered
to be part of the Village's financial reporting entity and is included in the Village's financial reports
as a pension trust fund. The latest available actuarial valuation is as of October 1, 1993. The
Village's total payroll for all employees was $3,943,577 for the year ended September 30, 1994.
The covered payroll represents all compensation paid to active employees covered by the PERS
on which contributions are made.

1. Plan Description, Continued
The Village provides all employee retirement benefits through a single - employer defined benefit
plan. Under the plan, all full -time, permanent employees upon completion of one year of credited
service are eligible. General employees who retire at or after age 62 are entitled to a retirement
benefit of 2% of final average compensation times years of service to a maximum of 30 years.
Prior to July 1, 1989, for police employees who terminated or retired with 25 years or more of
service, regardless of age, the retirement benefit was 2% for the first 25 years of service and 2'/2%
for years over 25 to a maximum of 30 years.
Subsequent to July 1, 1989, the retirement benefit for the first 25 years has been increased to 2.4 %.
Subsequent to October 1, 1992, the retirement benefit for the first 15 years of credited service
is 2.4 %; plus 2.7% for the next ten years of service; plus 2.5% in excess of 25 years (maximum
of 30 years). Subsequent to October 1, 1993, the retirement benefit for the first ten years of credited
service is 2.4 %; plus 2.7% for the next 15 years; plus 2.5% in excess of 25 years (maximum of
30 years). Final average compensation is the employee's average of the highest 36 consecutive
months of compensation during the ten years immediately preceding retirement or termination.
Employees are vested after 10 years of service. Vested general employees may retire at or after
age 62. Vested police employees may retire upon completion of 25 years of credited service.
Early retirement for general employees is at age 55 after 15 or more years of service with reduced
retirement benefits. Benefits are established by the pension board and may be amended only by
the Village Council.
General employees and police officers are required to contribute 6% and 9 %, respectively, of their
salaries to the PERS. If an employee leaves covered employment or dies before ten years of service,
accumulated employee contributions with 3% per annum interest are refunded. The Village is
required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to finance the coverage for its employees.
Village contributions are established by Village charter not to exceed one mil and may be amended
only by special referendum.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
PERS financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Employee and
employer contributions are recognized as revenues in the period in which employee services
are performed.
Method Used to Value Investments
Investments of the pension fund are reported at market and unrealized appreciation and depreciation
due to market fluctuations are reflected in the financial statements as investment earnings or
losses. Investment income is recognized as earned.

3. Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown below as "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure
of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases estimated
to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure is the actuarial
present value of credited projected benefits and is intended to help users assess the Village's PERS
funding status on a going -concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets
to pay benefits when due and make comparisons among PERS. The measure is independent of
the actuarial funding method used to determine contributions to the PERS. The pension benefit
obligation was determined as part of an actuarial valuation performed as of October 1, 1993.

4. Contributions Required and Contributions Made
The Village's funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The required contributions are determined using the entry age
actuarial cost method. The minimum contribution consists of the normal cost plus the amortization
of the components of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability that should provide sufficient resources
to pay employee pension benefits on a timely basis. The contributed amounts were actuarially
determined based on an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 1993. Total contributions to the pension
plan during 1994 amounted to $450,537. A breakdown of the contribution is as follows:
The General Employees and Police plans both use the level dollar method to amortize the unfunded
liability over a 30 year period. The difference between the actual contribution and the actuarially
determined contribution is the result of higher than expected contributions by the Village, its
employees and the amount received from the State for its share for police pension costs.
The actuarial assumptions used to compute pension contribution requirements are the same as
those used to determine the standardized measure of the pension obligation.
The computation of the pension contribution requirements for fiscal year ended September 30,
1994 was based upon the same actuarial assumptions, benefits provisions, actuarial funding method
and other significant factors as used to determine the pension contribution requirements in the
previous year.

J. Risk Management
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft, damage to and destruction of assets,
errors and omissions and natural disasters.
The maximum risk of loss for the Village is $350,000; thereafter the Village carries commercial insurance.
Florida law limits the liability in any one claim or judgement not to exceed $100,000 and in each occurrence
not to exceed $200,000.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported
(IBNR's). Claim liabilities are calculated considering the recent claim settlement trends. The liability
for claims is reported in the Internal Service Fund. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities during
the past year are as follows:
Unpaid claims, Beginning of year $329,432
Incurred claims (including IBNR's) 368,283
Claim payments (275,267
Unpaid claims, End of year $422,448

Analysis of Funding Progress
(In Thousands)
Analysis of the dollar amounts of net assets available for benefits, pension benefit obligation, and unfunded pension benefit
obligation in isolation can be misleading. Expressing the net assets available for benefits as a percentage of the pension
benefits as a percentage of the pension benefit obligation provides one indication of the Village's funding status on a going -
concern basis. Analysis of this percentage overtime indicates whether the system is becoming financially stronger or weaker.
Generally, the greater this percentage the stronger the PERS trends in unfunded pension benefit obligation and annual covered
payroll are both affected by inflation. Expressing the unfunded pension benefit obligation as a percentage of annual covered
payroll approximately adjusts for the effects of inflation and aids analysis of the Village's progress made in accumulating
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Generally, the smaller this percentgae the stronger the PERS.

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control Structure
In Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994 and have issued our report thereon dated November
16, 1994.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement.
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the Village for the
year ended September 30, 1994, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not
to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal
control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations
in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
of policies and procedures may deteriorate.

For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedures
in the following categories:
• Cash and Investments
• Revenues and Receivables
• Payables and Accrued Liabilities
• Property and Equipment
• Payroll
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design
of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation and we assessed control
risk.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design operation of
one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk
that errors and irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control structure
and its operations that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the Mayor, Village Council, Village Management and grantor
agencies. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994 and have issued our report thereon dated November
16, 1994.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to the Village is the responsibility of
the Village's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the Village's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the
general purpose financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests indicate that, with respect to the items tested, the Village complied in all material
respects with the provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested, nothing
came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Village had not complied, in all material respects,
with those provisions.
This report is intended for the information of the Mayor, Village Council, Village Management, and grantor

Federal Financial Assistance
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated November
16, 1994. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Village's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and GovernmentAuditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
of the Village taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements.
The information in that schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation
to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Control Structure Used
In Administering Federal Financial Assistance Programs
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated November
16, 1994. We have also audited the Village's compliance with requirements applicable to federal financial
assistance programs and have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 1994.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and Office of Management and Budget
("OMB ") Circular A -128, "Audits of State and Local Governments." Those standards and OMB Circular
A -128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the Village complied with
laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be material to a federal financial assistance program.
In planning and performing our audit for the year ended September 30, 1994, we considered the Village's
internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for purpose of expressing our opinion
on the Village's general purpose financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable
to major programs and to report on the internal control structure in accordance with OMB Circular A -128.
This report addresses our consideration of internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to
compliance with requirements applicable to federal financial assistance programs. We have addressed internal
control structure policies and procedures relevant to our audit of the general purpose financial statements
in a separate report dated November 16, 1994.
The management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal
control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal financial assistance
programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations
in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities, or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the
risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of
the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.

For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedures
used in administering federal financial assistance programs in the following categories:
Activity Cycles
• Cash
• Disbursements
• External Financial Reporting
General requirements
• Political activity
• Civil rights
• Cash management
• Federal financial reports
• Allowable costs /Cost principles
• Drug -free workplace
• Administrative requirements
Specific requirements
• Types of services
• Eligibility
• Matching, level of effort
• Reporting
• Cost allocation
• Monitoring subrecipients
Claims for advances and reimbursements
Amounts claimed or used for matching
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design
of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we
assessed control risk.
During the year ended September 30,1994, the Village expended 100% of its total federal financial assistance
under federal financial assistance programs.
We performed tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A -128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the
design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to
preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and
requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for matching
that are applicable to the Village's federal financial assistance program, which are identified in the accompanying
Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to
render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance with the General Requirements
Applicable to Federal Financial Assistance Programs
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated November
16, 1994.
We have applied procedures to test the Village's compliance with the following requirements applicable
to its federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance
for the year ended September 30, 1994. The general requirements tested included Political Activity; Civil
Rights; Cash Management; Federal Financial Reports; Allowable costs/Cost principles; Drug -Free Workplace,
and Administrative Requirements.
Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and Budget's
Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments. Our procedures were substantially
less in scope than in an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on the Village's compliance
with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of noncompliance
with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this report. With respect to items not tested, nothing
came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Village had not complied, in all material respects,
with those requirements.
This report is intended for the information of the Mayor, Village Council, Village Management, and grantor
agencies. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance with Specific Requirements
Applicable to Federal Financial Assistance Programs
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the "Village "),
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1994 and have issued our report thereon dated November 16,
1994.
We have also audited the Village's compliance with the requirements governing types of services allowed
or unallowed; eligibility; matching and reporting; claims for advances and reimbursements; and amounts
claimed or used for matching, which is identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance for the
year ended September 30, 1994. The management of the Village is responsible for the Village's compliance
with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance with those requirements
based on the audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and OMB Circular A -128, "Audits of
State and Local Governments ". Those standards and OMB Circular A -128 require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the requirements referred
to above occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Village's compliance
with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Village, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements governing types of
services allowed or unallowed; eligibility; matching and reporting; claims for advances and reimbursements;
and amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable to each of its federal financial assistance
programs for the year ended September 30, 1994.
This report is intended for the information of the Mayor, Village Council, Village Management and grantor
agencies. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.
