Financial Report (CAFR)
To the Mayor and Members of the Village Council:
In compliance with Florida State Statute Chapter §11.45, Chapter §10.550 of the Rules of the Auditor General,
and Chapter 34(3) of the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances, we are pleased to submit for your review
and consideration the Miami Shores Village Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2006. The report is presented in conformity with generally accepted auditing standards by
our outside auditors, Rachlin Cohen & Holtz LLP, Certified Public Accountants.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the financial condition of Miami Shores Village
( "The Village "). Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the complete presentation, reliability,
and accuracy of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for snaking these
representations, the Village's management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect the gover inent's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable
information for the preparation of the Village's financial statements in confonnity with principles generally
accepted in the United States. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the
Village's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than
absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we
assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material
respects.
The accompanying report consists of three parts:
a The Introductory Section, including this letter of transmittal, provides general information on the
Village's structure and personnel as well as other information that will assist readers to better understand
the organization's financial condition.
The Financial Section contains the basic financial statements and required supplementary information
including Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD &A), the report of the independent certified
public accountants, and other supplemental information useful to statement readers. The MD &A is a
narrative required to accompany the basic financial statements, providing an objective and `easy -to -read'
analysis of the Village's financial activities. These activities are based on currently known facts,
decisions, or conditions available able to management at the time of preparation. This letter of
FY 2005 -2006 Financial Report - January 29, 2007
transmittal is designed to complement the MD &A for a graphical presentation of the report.
• The Statistical Section provides tables and graphs of unaudited data depicting the financial history of the
Village over the course of the past 10 years including, but not limited to demographics, key taxpayers,
revenue and expense trends and more.
Independent Audit
Rachlin Cohen & Holtz LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has audited the Village's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. Their audit was in accordance with principles of
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States and the Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida. The goal of the
independent auditor was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Village for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2006 are free of material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for
rendering an unqualified opinion that the financial statements of Miami Shores Village for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006 are fairly presented in confonnity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Profile of the Government
Miami Shores Village, a Florida municipal corporation incorporated in 1932, is located in Northeast Miami -Dade
County. The Village has a year -round population estimated at 10,400 residents living within the 2.3 square mile
jurisdiction. The Village begins at Biscayne Bay on the east and goes west to Northwest Second Avenue. The
north and south boundaries are 115`x' Street and 91" Street respectively. The Village is a residential -based
community with two (2) commercial districts located on Second Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard.
Government structure and services provided
Operating under a Council- Manager form of goverrnnent, the Council consists of five members elected at large.
The Mayor is chosen by each of the newly formed councils. Historically, the individual receiving the highest
number of votes during the election is chosen as the Mayor and the Vice -mayor has received the second highest.
Both the mayor and vice -mayor serve four (4) year terms, two as mayor /vice -mayor and two as regular council
members. The Village Council is responsible for the selection and appointment of the Village Manager, Village
Clerk and Village Attorney. The Village Manager is responsible for engaging all department heads and their
subordinates.
Miami Shores Village provides a full range of municipal services including public safety through the police,
recreation and culture, public works and general administrative services for its residents and businesses. For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, no legally separate authorities or agencies operated under the auspices of
the Village; therefore, no additional financial information will be incorporated into these statements.
.BudZetarti Process and Control
Florida State Statute §200.065 requires that all municipal goverrunents prepare, approve, adopt and execute an
annual budget for such funds as may be required by law or by sound fiscal practices. In compliance with this
Statute as well other state regulatory items, the Village adopts an annual operating budget into which funds are
either formally appropriated by resolution or non - appropriated in nature, depending upon the fund (i.e. — general,
special revenue, debt service, enterprise, internal service or trust funds). However, in practice, all funds by those
identified as fiduciary in nature, receive arulual budgets and corresponding appropriations.
IF
FY 2005 -2006 Financial Report - January 29, 2007
The annual budget serves as a foundation for the financial planning, guidance and control of the Village. Funds
which require legal appropriations cannot exceed their original and amended budgets. All departments are
required to annually submit requests for appropriations to the Village Manager by June I" of each year. The
Village Manager then uses those requests as the base from which the annual operating and capital budgets are
developed. The budget is presented to the Village Council immediately following the release of the tentatively
assessed property values in early July of each year. Workshops are held in July during which council members
are free to address department staff with general and specific issues proposed in the budget. Following the
summer workshops, the Council adopts a resolution which sets the tentative millage rates which are subsequently
sent to the County using Florida Form DR420 for inclusion on the Proposed Tax Bills. Two public hearings are
held in September of each year during which members of the public are offered the opportunity to provide insight
and solicit information regarding the operations of their municipality. After the second public hearing,
resolutions present the final operating and debt service millage rates along with corresponding budgets for the
subsequent fiscal year and are subsequently adopted by the Village Council.
The annual budget is adopted at the fund and department level. Line -item transfers are permitted with the
approval of the Chief Financial Officer and Village Manager; however, changes to the bottom line of department
or fund totals require council approval and are executed by resolution. Budget to actual comparisons are
provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been
adopted. For the general fund, this comparison is presented on Page 49 as part of the basic financial statements
for the governmental funds. For government funds, other than the general fund, with appropriated annual
budgets, this comparison is presented in the governmental fund subsection of this report, which begins on page
51. Also included in the governmental fund subsection are project - length budget to actual comparisons for each
governmental fund for which a project - length budget has been adopted (i.e. — the capital projects fund).
Cash ManaQemeat
To maximize returns on liquid cash, the Finance Department pursues aggressive cash management and
investment programs within the constraints and parameters imposed by Florida Statutes and local policies.
Working capital is maintained in investment accounts including, but not limited to, overnight repurchase
agreements, money market accounts, short-term secured financial instruments such as certificate of deposits,
commercial paper and other short- and mid -term investments. Interest earnings are allocated based on asset
values reported in each fund at the close of each month. For those funds which are used as clearing funds (i.e.,
Fund 120, Excise Tax Fund), no interest allocations are reported. Additionally, interest earned on dedicated or
segregated funds, such as capital loan proceeds and restricted cash funds, are invested at par.
A summary and comparison of treasury activity for the last three fiscal years, not including cash with fiscal agents
are as follows:

The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from a
broader perspective of the specific environment within which the Village operates.
PENSION and POST - EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT COSTS
The Village sponsors two independent defined benefit pension plans: the General Employees' retirement Plan
and the Police Officers' retirement Plan. Additionally, a voluntary deferred compensation plan is made
available to those employees who wish to augment their fixture retirement benefits with no financial obligation to
the Village. Complying with the Village's Code, along with various state statutes, an independent actuary is
engaged each year to calculate the annual contributions required by the Village to ensure that each benefit plan is
able to fully meet its current future obligations for its retirees on a timely basis, As a matter- of policy, the Village
maintains fully- funded plans and funds each year's annual required contribution to each respective plan as part of
the annual budget process. As a result of the conservative approach to these plans, both retirement systems are
currently fully funded and report no unfunded liabilities for current or future obligations. No additional post -
employment retirement benefits are offered by the Village at this time.
Additional information related to the Village's two pension programs naay befound in Note 10 (a -d) in the Notes
to the Financial Statements.
Lono -terin Debt Manazenaent
The Village continues to obtain, in an efficient and innovative mariner, long -term financing for the construction
IPA
FY 2005 -2006 Financial Report - January 29, 2007
or acquisition of long -term assets and equipment. Management's objective is to adequately plan and meet the
Village's comprehensive capital plan and related demands which are critical to the continue enhancement of our
infrastructure. At the same time, however, we do not want to place a significant burden on the taxpayers through
general obligation debt through ad valorem taxes.
Following the voters direction, the Village has issued and sold two independent General Obligation Bonds: Series
1999 and Series 2004 funding the capital investment for the Village's $3,500,000 - Aquatics Facility and
$5,000,000 - Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores respectively. The ad valorem levies for the two general
obligation bonds were 0.3627 and 0.5659 for the Aquatics Facility and Charter School respectively.

ENTERPRISE OPERATIONS
The Village operates two individual enterprise operations: Sanitation and Stormwater utilities. Each area operates
separate from the other functions of the Village and are fully supported by fees charged to users for the service
provided. The following is a brief introduction to these two divisions:
Sanitation
Sanitation is an operating division of the Public Works Department. Comprised of 23 full time employees, the
department provides comprehensive solid waste collections and recycling services to the Village's residents and
commercial operations. Servicing more than 3,400 customers, the Village provides regular trash services, special
pickups, recycling programs and other sanitation - related services. The Village also provides recycling services to
the Village of Biscayne Park for a negotiated fee.
Stormwater Utilities
The Public Works Department is also responsible for the day -to -day operations of the Village's stonnwater utility.
Stormwater utilities as defined by Section 20 -102 of the Village's Code of Ordinances provides for a
comprehensive drainage control program throughout the Village. Through the Public Works Department, the
Village is responsible for the maintenance of the system as well as managing various contracts engaged to repair,
rehabilitate, replace and expand the system. Charges for this division are based on a fee determined by
identifying the impervious area of each residential and commercially- developed property in the Village. The
calculation determines each property's Equivalent Residential Units [ERUs] equaling 2,466 square feet divided
by the total impervious area. Impervious means that area of any given property which does not permit rain or
run off to naturally filter back through the ground. The annual fee of $39.00 funds all costs associated with the
function including, but not limited to personnel, operating, administrative, debt service and capital investment
costs. This function reports through an Enterprise Fund and uses the full accrual method of accounting including
v
FY 2005 -2006 Financial Report - January 29, 2007
amortization and depreciation charges.
INTERNAL SERVICE OPERATIONS
The Village provides for two internal service funds: Fleet Maintenance and Risk Management. Internal
service funds are used to capture the true costs for service which are for the sole benefit of Village. The
following are brief introductions for both service areas.
Fleet Maintenance
Fleet Maintenance, a division of the Village's Public Works Department, is fully responsible for the day -to -day
maintenance of all equipment and vehicles operated by the organization. Maintenance includes the costs for
routine repairs, preventive services, general maintenance, fuel, personnel costs and other operational functions.
Additionally, the acquisition of all vehicles and equipment, not specifically identified as an asset of an enterprise
operation are recorded in this division. Through annual depreciation charges, replacement funds accumulate as a
reserve for future equipment requirements. As an internal service fund, operational revenues originate as charges
recorded in each `user' division, transferring the corresponding cash to this self - balancing fund including non-
cash charges such as depreciation, amortization and transfers to reserves.
Risk Manapentent
Risk Management is a function of the Finance Department. The Village is insured by the Florida League of
Cities since October 1, 2005. The Village converted to first dollar coverage from the self - insurance program due
to the significant increases in reinsurance and reserve costs. Claims are filed with the League and various
deductibles are in place depending upon the type of coverage associated with the loss.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
The information presented in the Village's financial statements primarily focus on the financial position at the end
of each fiscal year as measured by existing resources and claims against those resources. To better understand the
Village's financial condition, readers should focus on both existing and future resources and potential claims (or
liabilities) against those resources. This broader concept is used to assist the financial condition of Miami Shores,
reflecting the current financial position as well as the prospects that today's financial condition will improve or
deteriorate. To achieve this objective, the Village uses a wide -range of information including local economic
conditions and outlook; long -term debt management; capital construction and investments; cash management /
investments; and, of course, risk controls.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONAND OUTLOOK
As seen through much of the country, property values have increased exponentially. The same can may be said
about many of the properties located in Miami Shores. Over the past five years, we have seen double -digit
increases in property sales; however, market conditions are showing a slowdown in growth. Property
improvements and investments in homes throughout the Village as demonstrated by the number of building
permits issued during the year remains strong. A turnover in ownership on several of the buildings along our NE
2 "d Avenue business district has resulted in increased capital expenditures making the area more desirable to
attract new businesses in our community.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Across the State, property owners have contacted their respective legislators to take action to control property
taxes, insurance costs and other related issues. We have started to closely evaluate the various proposals which
are currently under consideration by the legislature. The impact to the Village from the implementation of several

of the existing proposals would have severely adverse effects on operations. Basic services would remain in place
such as police and sanitation; however, if revenue streams decrease as might occur, the Village would need to
reduce or eliminate services and programs currently in place. As it remains uncertain, staff will continue to
monitor the events and will respond accordingly.
AWARDS and A CKNO WLEDGEMENTS
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of the
entire staff of the Finance Department. We would like to express our appreciation to Village Comptroller,
Carolyn Modeste and other members of the department, each of whom dedicated numerous hours of hard work to
produce a report of this magnitude. Credit must also be given to Mayor Davis and the members of the Village
Council for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the financial and
operational management of Miami Shores Village. And, finally, we would like to express our sincere thanks and
appreciation to the management and staff of our auditing firm, Rachlin Cohen and Holtz, LLP. Their dedication
to ensuring the accuracy of the data presented to you in this report was greatly evident during the past several
weeks.

DEPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Miami Shores Village,
Florida (the Village), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the
Village's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Village's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Audit 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. An
audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Village's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the 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 opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village, as of September 30, 2006, and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 29,
2007 on our consideration of the Village's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in
considering the results of our audit.

Management's Discussion and Analysis and the required supplementary information on pages 3 to 1 I and
46 to 51, respectively are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have applied
certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods
of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the
information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Village's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of
expenditures of federal awards in presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the United
States Office of Management and Budget Circular A -133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non -
Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements of the Village. The
combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no
opinion thereon.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD &A)
Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of Miami Shores Village, we offer readers of the Village's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of Miami Shores Village for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2006. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information
that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i to vii of this report. All amounts,
unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in thousands of dollars.
Financial Highlights
The assets of Miami Shores Village exceeded liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $7,827,026
(net assets). This amount includes funds identified and reserved for emergencies and capital construction
proj ects.
✓ As of the close of the current fiscal year, Miami Shores Village's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $6,400,865, an increase of $2,537,956.
✓ At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was $2,050,103 or 22.3%
of total general fund expenditures.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the basic financial statements of Miami Shores
Village. The Village's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial
statements; 2) individual fund financial statements; and, 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also
contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government -wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the financial activity of Miami Shores Village, in a manner similar to a private -
sector business.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the assets and liabilities of Miami Shores Village, with
the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a
useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Village is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change
occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement
for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but
unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of Miami Shores Village that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) as well as other functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities).
The governmental activities of Miami Shores Village include general government, public safety, streets and
sidewalks, building, planning, zoning, code enforcement, recreation and leisure. The business -type activities of the
Village include Sanitation and Storm water operations.
The government -wide financial statements may be found on pages 12 -13 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A.fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources
that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Miami Shores Village, like other local govermnents,
use fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance - related legal requirements. All of the funds
of Miami Shores Village can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary or fiduciary funds.
- 3 -
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the govenument -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information
may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term cash flow and financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long -term impact of the government's near -term financing decisions and the impact on short term cash flow
requirements to meet basic on -going operations. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental
fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
Miami Shores Village maintains sixteen (16) individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes
in fund balance for the general fund and the five major funds. Data from the other ten governmental funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic governmental fund financial statement may be found on pages 14 to 15 of this report.
Proprietary funds. Miami Shores Village maintains two proprietary or enterprise funds. Enterprise Funds are used
to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statement.
Miami Shores uses enterprise funds to account for its Sanitation and Storm water Operations. Internal service.funds
provide for an accounting method whereby the organization can accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
other user divisions. The Village uses internal service funds to account for its risk management costs as well as its'
fleet operation. Because both of these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type
functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more
detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Village's Sanitation and
Storm water operations, both of which are considered to be major funds of the Village. Additionally, the Village
segregates the financial reporting of both internal service funds to better distinguish the costs of each function.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements may be found on pages 17 to 19 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements because the resources of
those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements may be found on pages 20 to 21 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to fully understand the
data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements may be
found on pages 22 to 45 of this report.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the progress in funding its obligations to provide pension
benefits to the employees of Miami Shores Village.
Required supplementary information may be found on pages 46 to 51 of this report
-4-
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non -major governmental funds and internal service
funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions. Combining and
individual fund statements and schedules may be found on pages 52 to 55 of this report.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the
case of Miami Shores Village, assets exceeded liabilities by $7,827,026 at the close of the most recent reporting
year.
By far, the largest component of Miami Shores net assets (56.3 %) reflects its investments in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery, and equipment); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. Miami Shores uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens consequently these assets are not
available for future spending. Although Miami Shores' investment in its capital assets is reported net of related
debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the
capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Of special interest, you will note that the total unrestricted.fund balance reflects a deficit. This deficit is the net
result of reclassification of previously accumulated deficits in the Risk Management Fund. The existing deficit is
$1,216,200 less than FY 2005. The remaining deficit results from timing and is anticipated to be cleared by the
close of the first quarter of FY 2007. Additionally, the net unrestricted funds will be positive at the end of FY 2007
as part of the comprehensive restructuring of the risk management and fleet functions.

For FY 2005, property tax revenues remained relatively constant with a 0.4% decrease or $25,627 less than the
$5,398,417 recorded in the previous fiscal year. The decrease is principally associated with the volume of
delinquent tax settlements which occurred during FY 2004. For this reporting period, tax proceeds more accurately
reflect the property tax collections.

Less than expected dumping fee costs
Productivity improvements demonstrated by activity employees
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, Miami Shores Village uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -
related legal requirements.
Governmental.funds. The focus of the governmental funds for Miami Shores Village is to provide information on
near -term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
Village's financing requirements. In particular, the unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful indicator of the
governments net resources available for spending at the end of a fiscal year.

revenues
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the govei-iunental funds for Miami Shores Village reported combined ending
fund balances of $6,400,865, a $2,537,956 increase over FY 2005. Of this amount, $3,762,386 reflects unreserved
fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is
reserved or designated to indicate that it is not available for new spending as those dollars have already been
conunitted to: 1) liquidate contacts or encumbered fiscal obligations (outstanding purchase orders including costs
related to the Charter School Construction Project) valued at $1,036,502; 2) reserved $123,537 for prepaid assets.
The Capital Projects Fund reports a $990,987 deficit at fiscal year end. The deficit is a result of timing as the
Village refinanced and closed a $3.5 million, 10 -year term note to fund the capital project deficits, refinance the 2 °d
Avenue Project and fund the construction of the Fleet Maintenance Facility.
The general fund is the primary operating fund of the Village. At the end of the current fiscal year, the unreserved
fund balance for the general fund was $2,050,103. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both the unreserved and total fund balances to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents
10 % of the total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 11 % of that same amount.
-8-
The value of the Village's general fund balance increased by $643,173 during the fiscal year. Key factors associated
with this increase are as follows:
• Increased property values and corresponding tax revenues (exclusive of delinquent accounts)
• A larger than expected level of attrition in general fund employees resulting in salary savings
• Transferring risk exposures from self insurance to first dollar coverage (internal service charges)
Proprietary funds. The Village's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-
wide financial statements, but in more detail.
• Unrestricted net assets of the Sanitation Fund at the end of the year totaled $361,757, a $8,325 increase in
net asset values.
• Unrestricted net assets of the Storm water Fund at the end of the year totaled $178,705, a $54,876 increase
in net asset values.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The Village adopts annual budgets by fund, department and line item in compliance with Florida State Statute
Section 200.065 (commonly referred to as the Truth -in Millage Legislation). The law requires municipal
organizations to prepare and adopt annual operating budgets for the General, Special Revenue and Debt Service
Funds following uniform time frames related to property tax levies. The balanced budgets may be revised
throughout the year. The Village's code allows for department level budget transfers without council approval;
however, department and fund total changes require Council- approved budget amendments adopted by resolution.
The Village's policy is to adopt the budget following the second public hearing of each fiscal year, held in
September for an October I" year. The Village has also adopted a policy which provides for the reappropriation of
reserved fund balance for encumbrances and prepaid assets. This amendment is always adopted as the first budget
amendment of each fiscal year and is normally presented at the first meeting in November of each fiscal year.
Additional budget amendments may be presented to council at any time during the fiscal year.
For FY 2005, the difference between the adopted and amended budgets relate to the following:
• Budget Amendment #1 provides for the reappropriation of reserved fund equity for encumbrance and
prepaid asset funding ($267,850)
• Budget Amendment #2 provided for an increase of $428,000 relating to the correction of understated
revenue estimates in addition to changes to the Building Department, Unclassified Accounts and Risk
Funds.:
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. Miami Shores Village's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type
activities as of September 30, 2006 amounts to $5,741,364 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes Village -owned buildings, equipment and other infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, easements,
right -of- ways). The value net value of capital investments EXCLUDES the cost of the Doctors' Charter School of
Miami Shores construction project reporting in progress at year end.

✓ Continued enhancement of the Village's information networks including computer replacements,
enhancements and related equipment

ECOno11ZlC Factors and Next fear's Budgets and Rates
Miami Shores Village is a residential, single - family community. As such, standard economic indicators used to
determine the overall health of a community are slightly different for Miami Shores. Since the Village's "business
community" is restricted to a four -block area on Second Avenue and isolated pockets of business entities on
Biscayne Boulevard, the Village must monitor property values and other residentially- related trends to determine the
health and vitality of the community.
During the reporting year, Miami Shores found strong property value increases for the fourth consecutive year.
Many of the new residents to the Village have relocated from the western regions of the County and enjoy the
Village's close proximity to Downtown Miami and the adjacent business areas while still having a suburban
atmosphere. High recreational activities, including the Village's first -class aquatics facility, support the residents'
requirement for high standards and outstanding recreation and leisure activities. This, along with its own public
safety department, provides a higher standard of living than that which is found in surrounding municipalities.
Leading indicators continue to reflect stability and upward movement of property values for the Village. With the
anticipated investments in Second Avenue, the Charter High school and additional infrastructure enhancement
efforts as identified by the Village's comprehensive five -year planning cycle, it is anticipated that future financing
needs will be met; however, on a cautionary sidebar, it must be recognized that other cost factors will have adverse
impacts on the Village's overall financial condition, i.e., health and risk - related insurances, pension and other
benefits and future actions should be taken with these underlying issues still pending.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES. EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006,
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
(Page 13) are different because:
Net than=e in fund balances - total governmental funds (Page 15) $ 2,537,956
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.
The details of the difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 535,434
Depreciation expense (excluding depreciation in internal service funds) (909,624) (374,190)
The issuance of Ion; -term debt (e.g., bonds) provides current
financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the
principal of long -term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Also, bovernmental funds report the effect of issuance costs,
premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
Issuance of long -tern debt (excluding $1,000,000 accounted for
in internal service funds)
(2,500,000)
Principal payments:
General obligation bonds
$ 165,000
Line of credit
50,000
Revenue notes payable
925,461
Claims payable
1,140,461
Amortization of issuance costs, premiums and discounts
(3,384) 1,137,077
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the
use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds.
The details of the differences are as follows:
Allocation of internal service fund's net income
963,938
Compensated absences
(44,363)
Claims payable
25,643
Accrued interest payable
(10,946)
Decrease in net pension asset
(1,055)
Change in net assets of governmental activities (Page 13)
$ 1,734,060

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Miami Shores Village, Florida (the Village) was incorporated in 1931 and is a political
subdivision of the State of Florida located in northeastern Miami -Dade County. The Village
operates under a Council- Manager form of government, with the legislative function being vested
in a five- member council. The Village Council is governed by the Village Charter and by state
and local laws and regulations. The Village Council is responsible for establishment and
adoption of policy. The Village provides the following full range of municipal services
authorized by its charter: public safety, streets, sanitation, stormwater, cultural and recreational
activities, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The basic financial statements of the Village have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard - setting body for
governmental accounting and financial reporting. The more significant of the Village's
accounting policies are described below.
a. Financial Reporting Entity
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with government accounting standards
which establishes standards for defining and reporting on the financial reporting entity. The
definition of the financial reporting entity is based upon the concept that elected officials are
accountable to their constituents for their actions. One of the objectives of financial reporting
is to provide users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the accountability of the
elected officials. The financial reporting entity consists of the primary government,
organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and other
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary
government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to
be misleading or incomplete. The Village is financially accountable for a component unit if it
appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and it is able to impose its
will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific
financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the Village. The Village does not
have any component units that meet the definition disclosed above.
b. Government -wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the non - fiduciary activities of the Village.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support.

b. Government -wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All remaining- nonmajor
governmental funds are aggregated and reported as other governmental funds.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. The agency fund has no measurement focus. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which
they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
nzeasurernent focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the Village considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise fees, utility taxes, sales taxes, licenses, and interest associated with
the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to
be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Village.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
The Village reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund — This is the Village's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the Village, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Resources are derived primarily from property taxes, franchise fees and utility taxes,
charges for services and state shared revenues. Expenditures are incurred to provide general
government, public safety, public works and community services.
Excise Tax Fund — This fund records revenues received by the Village for contractually -
adopted franchise fee agreements and corresponding public service or utility taxes. The
receipts of these funds are used to subordinate the Village's General Obligation Bond Series
1999 should insufficient debt service revenues be received from ad valorem levies. Surplus
proceeds are then transferred out of this fund and into the General Fund for operating
purposes.
Local Option Gas Tax Fund — This fund accounts for the revenues form the six cents and
additional three cents sales tax levied on all petroleum products sold in Miami -Dade
County.
Hurricane Fund — This fund accounts for hurricane related expenditures as well as FEMA
reimbursements. The fund is used to centralize financial activities required to restore the
Village to normal operations following a natural disaster.
Aquatics Facility Construction Fund — This fund accounts for all the costs associated with
the design, development and construction of the aquatic facility which was completed in
fiscal year 2005 and funded by general obligation bonds issued through the Florida
Municipal Loan Council.
Capital Improvements Fund — This fund accounts for major capital acquisitions and
projects to improve the Village.
The Village reports the following major proprietary fund:
Sanitation Fund — This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the Village's
sanitation system.
The Village reports the following nonmajor proprietary fund:
Stormwater Utility Fund — This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the
Village's stormwater system.

Additionally, the Village reports the following fund types:
Other Governmental Funds — The other governmental funds are used to account for all
other various special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds.
Internal Service Funds — The internal service funds are 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 Village has two internal service funds, the Risk
Management Fund and the Fleet Maintenance Fund.
Pension Trust Funds — The pension trust funds accumulate resources for pension benefit
payments. The pension trust funds account for the activities of the Village's two pension
plans.
Private Purpose Trust Fund — This fund accounts for a donation from a foundation to be
held by the Village on behalf of the Doctors Charter School to assist with meeting operating
needs of the school.
Agency Fund — This fund is used to account for assets that the Village holds for others in an
agency capacity.
Private - sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government -wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The Village has the option of following
subsequent private - sector guidance for their business -type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The Village has elected not to follow subsequent private- sector
guidance.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Village's
utility functions and various other functions of the Village. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, (2) operating grants and contributions, and (3) capital
grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes with the exception of
local option gas tax. Proceeds from the local option gas tax are used to fund transportation
related expenditures and therefore are reported as program revenues under the function "Public
Works ".

c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non - operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the Village's sanitation and stormwater services and of the
Village's internal service funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for
enterprise funds and internal service funds include the costs of services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non - operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and investments with the State Board of
Administration investment pool (2A -7 Pool).
The Village maintains a pooled cash account for all funds. This enables the Village to
invest large amounts of idle cash for short periods of time and to optimize earnings
potential. Cash and cash equivalents represents the amount owned by each fund of the
Village. Interest earned on pooled cash and cash equivalents is allocated monthly based
upon equity balances of the respective funds.
2. Investments
The Village's investments are reported at fair value. The investments held with the State
Board Investment Pool (2A -7 Pool) are reported at its fair value of its position in the Pool,
which is the same as the value of the Pool shares. The investments in the pension trust fund
are reported at fair value.
3. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to /from other funds"
(i.e., the current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the government -wide
financial statements as "internal balances."

4. Receivables
Receivables include amounts due from others for services provided by the Village.
Receivables are recorded and revenues are recognized as earned or specific program
expenditures are incurred.
5. Prepaid Items
Prepaid iterns consist of costs applicable to future accounting periods which have been paid
prior to the end of the fiscal year. Amounts repotted in the governmental funds are offset by
an equal reservation of fund balance in the fund financial statements. This is an indication
that these components of current assets do not constitute "available spending resources ".
6. Inventories
Inventories of materials and supplies in the General Fund are recorded as expenditures when
purchased (purchase method) and are stated at cost. Inventory in the Proprietary Funds
consists of fuel, oil, tires, parts, office supplies and other inventories held for consumption.
The initial cost is recorded as an asset at the time of purchase and is charged against
operations in the period when used (consumption method) using the first -in, first -out
method. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on the balance sheet with a
related reservation of fund balance for inventories accounted for under the purchase method.
7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and certain infrastructure assets
(e.g., roads, curbs and gutters, lighting systems, and similar items), are reported in the
applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the Village as assets with an initial, individual cost
of more than $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are
recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated
capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair market value at the date donated.
The retroactive reporting of infrastructure for governmental activities is being deferred to a
later date. Only the current additions to infrastructure of governmental activities, for which
depreciation is computed in the year of acquisition, are being reported at this time.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and
improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the asset constructed. No such costs were capitalized in 2006.

following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings and improvements 10 -40
Drainage improvements 40
Sanitation equipment 10
Vehicles 5
Other equipment, machinery, furniture and fixtures 3 -10
8. Deferred Charges
Deferred charges in the government -wide financial statements represent the unamortized
portion of bond issuance costs. These costs are being amortized over the term of the
respective bond issue.
9. Compensated Absences
Village employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts based on length
of service and the department which the employee serves.
The Village's vacation policy allows all regular non - temporary employees to accrue
vacation leave with pay on a monthly basis. Vacation leave accrued in a previous year must
be used prior to the next year's anniversary date (unless authorized by the Village
Manager). Upon separation from Village employment in good standing, employees shall
receive a lump sum payment for any unused accrued vacation leave up to the maximum
allotted for the employee's length of service.
The Village's sick leave policy is to accumulate one normal work day per month up to a
maximum of 720 hours for a general employee. A general employee shall receive payment
for one hundred percent (100% to a maximum of 720 hours) of accrued sick leave upon
retirement and fifty percent (50 %) upon separation in good standing.
For both vacation and sick leave, there is no payout for an employee who is discharged for
misconduct, termination or is not in good standing with the Village.
All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government -wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the
governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee
resignations and retirements. The general fund has typically been used to liquidate such
amounts.

10. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund
financial statements, long -term debt and other long -term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary
fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs,
are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight -line amortization
method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond
issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related
debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of
debt issued is reported as an other financing source. Premiums received on debt issuances
are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as
other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the net proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
11. Property Taxes
Property taxes (ad valorem taxes) are assessed on January I" (the lien date) and are billed
and payable November I". They are due March 31" and become delinquent April I". On
June I", delinquent taxes are offered for sale in the form of tax certificates. These taxes are
collected by 'the County and are remitted to the Village. As of September 30, 2006,
delinquent property taxes were immaterial in amount.
Assessed values are established by the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser for all
properties in the County at fair market value. The County bills and collects all property
taxes for the Village. The assessed value of property at January 1, 2005, upon which the
2005 -2006 levy was based, was approximately $705,000,000.
Under Florida law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all County,
municipal, school district and special district property taxes are consolidated in the offices
of the County Property Appraiser and County Tax Collector.
The Village is permitted by Article 7, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution to levy taxes up
to 10 mills ($10 per $1,000 of assessed valuation) for general governmental services other
than general obligation debt service. To the extent required by voter approved general
obligation debt, unlimited amounts may be levied to pay debt service. The millage rate
levied to finance general governmental services for the 2005 -06 fiscal year was 8.250 mills
($8.25 per $1,000 of assessed valuation).

12. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally segregated for a specific
future use. The description of each reserve indicates the purpose for which each was
intended.
Designations of fund balance indicate that a portion of fund balance has been segregated
based on previous fiscal obligations or tentative plans of the Village. Such plans or intent
are subject to change at the discretion of the Village.
Unreserved and undesignated fund balance is the portion of fund equity available for any
lawful use.
13. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the period
reported. These estimates include assessing collectibility of receivables, the use and
recoverability of inventory, the realization of pension and postretirement obligations, and
useful lives and impairment of tangible assets, among others. Estimates and assumptions
are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial
statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
NOTE 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
a. Fund Deficits
The Building Better Communities capital projects fund had an unreserved and undesignated
deficit of $142,142.
The Village, during the ensuing year, will develop a plan to eliminate this deficit.

NOTE 3. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, 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. Security for Public Deposits Act, the
State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer
or another banking institution eligible collateral. 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 amounts reported as deposits are deemed as insured or collateralized
with securities held by the entity or its agent in the entity's name.
Investments
The Village is authorized to invest in those instruments authorized by the Florida Statutes,
including obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies, instrumentalities and the State Board of
Administration Investment Pool (SBA). The State Board of Administration administers the
Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund and is governed by Ch. 19 -7 of the Florida
Administrative Code. These rules provide guidance and establish the general operating
procedures for the administration of the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund.
Additionally, the Office of the Auditor General performs the operational audit of the activities
and investments of the State Board of Administration. The Local Government Surplus Funds
Trust Fund is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however,
the board has adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a -7 fund.

exchanges or on the National Market System of the NASDAQ Stock Market and in the case
of bonds only, holds a rating in one of the three highest classifications by a major rating
service. Investment in foreign companies is limited to American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) and foreign common stock listed on U.S. Exchanges. The Plan's investment
policies limit investments to common stocks, corporate bonds rated "A" or higher by
Moody or Standard & Poor's, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMG's) rated "Aaa" by
Moody's or "AAA" by Standard & Poor's rating services.
The Plans' corporate bonds were rated an average of "A" by Standard & Poor's. The Plans'

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Plans' investment policies prohibit equity securities concentrations greater than 5% in
the securities of any one company at cost not- can the aggregate investment in equity
securities total more than 70% of the total funds asset value at market; and fixed income
securities concentrations greater than 10% in any one issuer with the exception of U.S.
government or agency issues. As of September 30, 2006, the value of each equity position
held by the Plans' portfolios consisted of less than 5% of total equity assets and less than
70% in the aggregate. Seven percent (7 %) of the Village's total Pension Investments are
fixed income securities in the Federal National Mortgage Association. Given the restriction
to the highest rating, the additional concentration is not viewed to be an additional risk by
the City.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plans have investments in a combination of investment securities. Investment
securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to
the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty
related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in risks in the near term would materially affect the balances and the amounts
reported in the statements of plan net assets and the statements of changes in plan net assets.
The Plans through their investment advisors monitor the Plans' investments and risks
associated therewith on a regular basis, which the Plans believe minimizes these risks.

NOTE S. POST - EMPLOYMENT RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description
The Village provides post- retirement health benefits in accordance with the requirements of an
agreement between the Village and the Police Benevolent Association (PBA).
Police officers who retire and begin receiving benefits from the Village's pension plan on or
after October 1, 1991 are eligible to receive a monthly benefit of up to $100 to defray the cost
of health insurance coverage for the retiree.
Only those police officers who retire under the provisions of the Village's pension plan with at
least 25 years of creditable service, or who are granted a disability benefit under the provisions
of the Village's Pension Plan, are eligible for the retiree health benefit.
Eligible retired police officers receive the retiree health benefit until they become eligible for
Medicare benefits, at which time the Village retiree health benefit is suspended.

NOTE S. POST - EMPLOYMENT RETIREMENT BENEFITS (Continued)
Plan Descripfion (Continued)
The employer makes benefit payments directly to an insurance carrier or health benefit
program on behalf of the eligible retired police officer up to $100 which is funded through
payroll deductions from each police officer. Total contributions for the year were $5,500. If
the retired police officer is covered by any other insurance or health benefit program, the
Village retiree health benefit will be secondary to any and all other insurance or benefit
programs. If the actual cost of the retired police officer's participation in such other insurance
or benefit program is less than $100 per month, the Village retiree health benefit payable is the
actual cost of such insurance or benefit program.
Employee contributions to the retiree health benefit fund are refundable to the employee if the
employee terminates Village employment after contributing to the retiree health benefit fund
for ten (10) or more years. Any employee who receives a refund of contributions from the
retiree health benefit fund is not eligible to receive a retiree health benefit.
The Village does not provide any other post - employment retirement benefits.
NOTE 9. 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 for which it has purchased commercial insurance.
Prior to October 1, 2005, the Village was self - insured for these claims up to certain limits.
The amount of settlements for each of the past three fiscal years did not exceed insurance
coverage.
Liabilities in the risk management internal service fund include amounts for claims that have been
incurred but not reported (IBNR's) as well as known claims that existed prior to purchasing
commercial insurance. Claim liabilities are calculated considering the recent claim settlement
trends.
Changes in the balances of estimated claims for the years ended September 30 are as follows:
In addition to the above claims liability, the Village has a commitment to Miami -Dade County for
prior workers' compensation claims for $168,387 as of September 30, 2006. The Village
generally makes annual payments to the County on a reimbursable basis.

NOTE 10. PENSION PLANS
The Village maintains two separate single- employer Public Employee Retirement Systems
(PERS). These plans were established 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 statements as pension trust funds.
Summary of Significant Account Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Village's defined benefit pension funds are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due.
Employer contributions to each plan are recognized when due and the employer has made a
formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the terms of each Plan.
Method Used to Value Investzizents
Investments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange
are valued at the last reported sales price. Net appreciation in fair value of investments,
realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined on the basis of specific cost.
Within certain limitations as specified in each of the Plans, the investment policies are
determined by the Plans' Board of Trustees and is implemented by each Plan's investment
advisor.
There were no investments (other than U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government
Guaranteed Obligations) in any one organization that represented 5% or more of plan net
assets, nor were there any investments in, loans to, or leases with any Village official, Plan
Trustee or other related parties.
a. General Employees' Retirement Plan
Plan Desct iption
The General Employees' Retirement System (the Plan) is a single - employer defined
benefit pension plan that covers all Village employees, except for police, and certain
appointed employees. The Plan was established on January 1, 1957 by the Village
Council. On December 31, 1999, the Plan was split between the general employees and
the police officers. The Plans are governed by certain provisions of Chapter 112, Florida
Statutes. The Board of Trustees for the Plan administers the Plan. Plan amendments must
be authorized by the Village Council.
The Plan provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to Plan members and
beneficiaries. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report.

b. Police Officers' Retirement Plan
Plait Description
The Police Officers' Retirement System (the Plan) is a single - employer defined benefit
pension plan that covers substantially all of the Village's certified police officers. The Plan
was established as of the effective date of January 1, 1957 by the Village Council. It was
amended on December 31, 1999, to split the Plan between General Employees and Police
Officers. The Plan is also governed by certain provisions of Chapter 185, Florida Statutes.
The Board of Trustees for the Plan administers the Plan. Plan amendments must be
authorized by the Village Council.
The Plan provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to Plan members and
beneficiaries. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report.
Deferred Retirement Option Plan
Effective May 5, 1998, subsequent to the approval from the State of Florida, Division of
Retirement, current employees with at least 25 but not more than 30 years of continuous
service as a member of the plan may elect to participate in the deferred retirement option
plan (DROP) for sworn police personnel. The employee may elect to participate in the plan
for a maximum of 60 months before the employee attains 30 years of continuous service.
A member's continuous service and accrued benefit under the plan shall be detennined and
frozen on the effective date of the employee's election to participate in the DROP. Additional
continuous service or benefits under the plan shall not be accrued, except for cost -of- living
adjustments provided to retirees under the plan. No payments are made directly to the
employee from the pension plan while the member participates in the drop plan.
During the period of the member's participation in the DROP, the employee's normal
retirement benefit shall be credited to the employee's DROP account. No further
contributions to the police officers' retirement system will be required by the Village nor the
employee on behalf of any employee who has elected participation in the DROP. The
member's account is invested as part of the corpus of the system by the Board and is
credited with interest equal to the overall net rate of return on the fund assets during the
reporting period during which the member participates in the DROP.
At the conclusion of the member's participation in the DROP, the member will receive a
normal benefit calculated in accordance with the plan using an average monthly earnings
and continuous service as of the effective date of the member's election to participate in the
DROP. The DROP account is distributed to the member in a cash lump sum, unless the
member alternatively elects to receive payments in approximately equal quarterly or annual
installments over a period designated by the member. If a member dies before distribution
of the member's DROP plan commences, the account balance is paid to the member's
designated beneficiary in an immediate cash lump sum. Provisions of the plan do not allow
for the distribution of a member's DROP account to begin later than April 1 following the
later of the calendar year in which the member separates from service with the Village or
attains age 701 /2 years.

Funding Policy
Plan members are required to contribute 9% of their annual covered salary. The State of
Flo►ida contributes a portion of the property insurance premiums, which pass through the
Village as contributions to the Plan. The Village is required to contribute at actuarially
determined rates that are designed to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.
Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligation (Asset)
As of October 1, 2005, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, the Village's net pension
obligation (asset) was as follows:

October 1, 2005 actuarial valuation using the frozen entry age normal actuarial cost method.
This method is the same as the Aggregate Cost Method and does not identify and separately
amortize the unfunded actuarial liabilities. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 8%
investment rate of return and (b) projected salary increases of 6.5% per year. Both (a) and
(b) included an inflation component of 4 %. The actuarial value of assets was determined
using market values.

a. Legal Matters
The Village has several claims arising in the ordinary course of operations pending against the
Village. In the opinion of legal counsel and management, any potential losses arising from
such actions, would not have a materially adverse affect on the financial position of the Village.
b. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by
grantor agencies. While no matters of non - compliance were disclosed by the audit, grantor
agencies may subject grant programs to additional compliance tests, which may result in
disallowed costs. In the opinion of management, future disallowances of current grant
expenditures, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Village's financial
condition.

MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE, FLORIDA
NOTE TO BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The Village annually adopts an operating budget for the General Fund, Excise
Tax Fund, Local Option Gas Tax Fund, Half Cent Surtax Fund and the Debt Service Fund.
(1) 35 days prior to fiscal year end, the Village Manager submits to the Village Council a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1 st. The
operating budget is restricted to proposed expenditures and the means of financing them by
means of appropriated revenues, other financing sources and appropriations of fund balances.
Budgetary control over expenditures for the General Fund is legally maintained at the
departmental level.
(2) Two public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments as required by Truth in
Millage (TRIM) legislation.
(3) Prior to September 28th (unless preempted by TRIM) as stated in the Village's Charter, the
budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
(4) The Village Manager may at any time transfer any unencumbered appropriated balance or
portion thereof between general classifications of expenditures within an office, department
or agency. At the request of the Village Manager and within the last three months of the
budget year, the Council may by resolution transfer any unencumbered appropriated balance
or portion thereof, from one office, department or agency to another.
(5) Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended. No significant revisions to the
budget were required in 2006. There was one supplemental appropriation in the general fund
during fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 for funding outstanding financial obligations
and unanticipated expenses. The total General Fund budget did not change.
(6) Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the Village),
as of September 30, 2006 and for the year then ended, which collectively comprise of the Village's basic
financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 29, 2007. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Village's internal control over financial reporting
in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the basic
financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our
consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be
material in relation to the basic 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 over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over financial
reporting that we have reported to management in the accompanying schedule of findings.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Compliance with
Requirements Applicable to Each Major Program and on Internal Control
Over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A -133
Honorable Mayor, Village Council and Village Manager
Miami Shores Village, Florida
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Miami Shores Village, Florida (the Village), with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-
]33 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended
September 30, 2006. The Village's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's
results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is
the responsibility of the Village's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Village's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A -133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non - Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A -133
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
Village's compliance with those requirements and perfori-ning such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
audit does not provide a legal determination on the Village's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the Village, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that
are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended September 30, 2006.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal
programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Village's intemal control over
compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in
al
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and
to test and report on the internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A -133.

SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR YEAR AUDIT FINDINGS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30. ?006
I. PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
05 -04 Capital Asset Records
Finding
The establishment and maintenance of detailed accounting records for capital assets are necessary to help
assure that government property, plant and equipment are not stolen, misused or subject to undue wear
and tear. These records aid in the establishment of stewardship responsibility for particular assets on
individual governmental officials. They are also a necessary element in an on -going governmental fixed
asset repair and preventative maintenance program and enhance efforts to obtain optimum insurance
coverage levels. We noted that the Village did not have a comprehensive detail inventory record of
capital assets. Schedules provided consisted of the prior year balances and current year additions and
deletions to the capital assets.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Village compile a comprehensive listing of all capital assets that clearly identifies
all assets owned by the Village. This listing should include a detailed description of the asset, the assets
location, acquisition date, estimated life, cost and accumulated depreciation.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action
The Finance Department is in the process of revising the Village's Capital Asset procedures. Previous
policy capitalized the costs of many items under the "capital" threshold. Recording and tracking items
valued less than the set threshold of $750 resulted in condition which may have misstated the value.
Effective 10/1/06, the Village's policy for capital projects will be for those items valued at $750 or more
and a comprehensive capital asset analysis will be performed by the Finance Department.
05 -05 Recreation Revenue
Finding
Revenues generated for programs run at the Village's various recreational facilities are first entered into
the Recreation Department's revenue system, RecTrac D. Cash receipts collected at the various recreation
facilities are brought to the Village along with a revenue summary report generated from the RecTrac a
system. The Village cashier then enters the information into the cash receipts module of the Village's
C, ledger system, Mainstreet a based on the information recorded on the revenue summary report.
During procedures performed for revenue transactions, cash receipt reports obtained from the �:
RecTrac
system for various recreation departments did not reconcile to the revenue balances recorded in the
Village's general ledger.

(Continued)
I. PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
Recommendation
Though the variances noted in the current fiscal year were not material, we recommend that the Village
implement procedures to ensure that amounts recorded in the general ledger as revenue from the various
recreation facilities are in agreement with the revenue summary reports generated by RecTracO.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action.
The Finance Department reconciles recreation receipts to daily deposits and also enters the adjustments or
reclassifications provided by Recreation; however, in many instances, the reclassification results from
prepaid classes and timing may be an issue. The Finance Department will continue to monitor cash
receipts against RecTrac reports in an effort to ensure compliance between the two systems.
05 -06 Infrastructure Reporting Requirements
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 34, the Village, which is a Phase 2 government, is allowed four
additional years after the basic effective date of the statement to implement the required retroactive
capitalization of major infrastructure assets for all major general infrastructure assets that were
acquired or significantly reconstructed, or that received significant improvements, in fiscal years
ending after June 30, 1980. For the Village, the effective date for retroactively recording infrastructure
assets is September 30, 2007.
Recommendation
We suggest that the Village obtain an outside appraisal service to inventory and value all general
infrastructure assets. This procedure is essential as the Village approaches the period for compliance with
the retroactive capitalization of major infrastructure assets provisions of GASB Statement No. 34.
View of Responsible Officials
The Village is working with its new insurance provider, the Florida League of Cities, to value all capital
assets. The Village's infrastructure is limited to buildings, sidewalks and for storm water improvements
made after 2002.
01 -9. Accounting Procedures Manual
Finding
We noted that the Village does not have an accounting procedures manual. There may be an assumption
that because the Village's accounting system is relatively simple and accounting personnel have direct
access to the chief financial officer when questions arise, there is no need for a manual. However, written
procedures, instructions, and assignments of duties will prevent or reduce misunderstandings, errors,
inefficient or wasted effort duplicated or omitted procedures, and other situations that can result in
inaccurate or untimely accounting records. This comment was also reported in the prior year.

SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR YEAR AUDIT FINDINGS
(Continued)
I. PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
Recommendation
A well - devised accounting manual can also help to ensure that all similar transactions are treated
consistently, that accounting principles used are proper, and that records are produced in the form desired
by management. A good accounting manual assists with the training of new employees and possibly
allows for delegation of some of the accounting functions currently performed by management for other
employees. It will take some time and effort for management to develop a manual; however, we believe
this time will be more than offset by time saved later in training and supervising accounting personnel.
Also, in the process of the comprehensive review of existing accounting procedures for the purpose of
developing the manual, management might discover procedures that can be eliminated or improved to
make the system more efficient and effective. Should management desire; we would be pleased to assist
the Village in developing an accounting manual as a separate engagement.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action
The Village has an accounting procedures manual. Each component of Main Street and other operations
of the Department are retained by the individual primarily responsible for the operations.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
SECTION II — FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
06 -01 Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
Finding
Pursuant to Section 166.241 (2) of Chapter 166 of the Florida Statutes, the governing body of each
municipality shall adopt a budget each fiscal year. The budget must be adopted by ordinance or
resolution unless otherwise specified in the respective municipality's charter. The amount available from
taxation and other sources, including amounts carried over from prior fiscal years, must equal the total
appropriations for expenditures and reserves. The budget must regulate expenditures of the municipality,
and it is unlawful for any officer of a municipal government to expend or contract for expenditures in any
fiscal year except in pursuance of budgeted appropriations. We noted that various categories of
expenditures in the General Fund, Excise Tax Fund, Local Option Gas Tax Fund and Half Cent Surtax
Fund exceeded budgetary provisions.
Recornnzendation
Section 166.241(3)a of the Florida Statutes provides the authority for the governing body of the Village to
increase and decrease appropriations within each fund. We suggest that, in the future, all budgets be
monitored to ensure compliance with Florida Statutes.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action
Standard procedures provide for budget amendments, two of which were presented and passed during
fiscal year 2006. The overruns were inadvertently overlooked and were excluded from the Budget
Amendments passed by the Village Council. Future financials will be maintained within budgetary
restraints.
06 -02 Fund Deficits
Finding
Deficits place a financial burden upon a municipality. The effects of a deficit are varied but their initial
impact will generally be felt on cash Flows.
The financial statements of the Village reflect and unrestricted deficit in the Fleet Maintenance internal
service fund of $253,293 at September 30, 2006.
• The deficit in the Fleet Maintenance Fund decreased in the current year by $847,260 primarily due
to operating transfers from the general fund. In prior years, the deficit was created as a result of
expenditures in excess of charges for services.
• The 2i6 Ave. Rehabilitation Capital Projects Fund reflects an unreserved and undesignated deficit of
$142,143 as of September 30, 2006. This deficit is the result of construction costs in excess of
funding to date.

SECTION II — FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
06 -02 Fund Deficits (Continued)
Recommendation
We suggest that the Village Council address the deficits in these funds. For the internal service fund, the
Village may consider increasing the charges to the other funds to eliminate the deficit. For the Capital
Projects Fund, the Village should authorize the necessary funding to ensure the elimination of the deficit.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action
The Deficits resulted from cash flow and timing issues.
The deficit in Fleet Maintenance resulted from emergency repairs on vehicles. Future budgets will
include reservations for shortfalls and emergencies.
The deficit in the 2"d Ave. Rehabilitation Fund is a result of timing. Investments were recorded in the
General Fund and will be reclassified in 2007, eliminating the deficit.
06 -03 Contractor vs. Employee Determination
Finding
We noted there is currently no methodology in place to determine the appropriate classification of an
individual providing services to the Village as either an employee or a contractor. We noted individuals
currently classified as employees who may more appropriately be considered contractors, and vice versa.
The current practice appears to be classifying individuals based on their preference rather than according
to tax regulations.
Recommendation
We recommend that all individuals providing service to the Village be evaluated in accordance with
established Internal Revenue Service regulations to determine the appropriate classification.
View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action
The Village will assign this responsibility as appropriate.
