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, 2017. The financial statements included in this report conform to generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
("GASB"). The responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Village.
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 making these
representations, the Village's management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable
information for the preparation of the Village's financial statements in conformance with accounting 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 have 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 financial statements have been audited by Caballero Fierman Llerena & Garcia, LLP, Certified
Public Accountants. The independent auditor has issued an unmodified opinion that this report fairly represents the
financial position of the Village in conformity with GAAP. Their audit was conducted in accordance with 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 is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Village for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2017 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 unmodified opinion that the financial statements of Miami Shores Village for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2017 are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
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 the Miami Shores Village, Florida (the “Village”) as
of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
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 of America and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the Village’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
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, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position and, where
applicable, cash flows for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis on pages 3 through 13 and the Budgetary Comparison Schedules and related notes, Schedules of
Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedules of Contributions, Schedules of Investment Returns,
and the Schedule of Funding Progress– Other Post-Employment Benefits, on pages 74 through 88, be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to
our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary and Other Information
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 nonmajor fund financial
statements and budgetary comparison schedules and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are the
responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements
or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements 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 do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 26, 2018, 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, and 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Required Supplementary Information)
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE, FLORIDA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
3
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, 2017. Readers
are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is furnished
in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i to iv of this report.
This discussion and analysis is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues; (b) provide
an overview of the Village’s financial activity; (c) identify changes in the Village’s financial position (its ability to address
the next and subsequent year challenges); (d) identify any material deviations from the financial plan (the approved
budget); and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns. The information contained within this section should be
considered only a part of a greater whole.
Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2017
• At September 30, 2017, Miami Shores Village assets and deferred outflows exceeded its liabilities
and deferred inflows by $32.6 million (net position). Of this amount, $19 million was invested in
capital assets, an increase of $462 thousand compared with the prior year. Additionally, $9.9 million
was restricted by law, agreements, and debt covenants or for capital projects. The Village had an
unrestricted net position of $3.7 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.6 million or a 31%
decrease as compared with the prior year. The decrease in unrestricted net position was due to the
purchase of capital assets and $1.1 million in costs associated with hurricane cleanup which are
anticipated to be recovered in fiscal year 2018.
• During fiscal year 2017, total net position decreased by $616 thousand, from $33.2 million in FY2016
to $32.6 million in FY2017. Of this decrease, $973 thousand was in governmental activities coupled
with an increase of $357 thousand in business-type activities.
• At September 30, 2017, Miami Shores Village’s governmental funds had fund balances totaling $13.2
million. Of the total fund balance, approximately $6.4 million or 48% was unassigned and $769
thousand or 6% was committed for future capital projects and encumbrances. The restricted fund
balance of approximately $6 million, or 46%, is related to funds restricted by the contributing agency.
The nonspendable fund balance of approximately $10 thousand is related to prepaid items. The net
change in fund balances during the year was a decrease of $1.1 million attributable to hurricane
cleanup.
• The General Fund’s fund balance decreased by $510 thousand for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2017. This decrease was due to the purchase of a residence contiguous with an existing park.
The decrease was less than anticipated as a result of departmental savings during the year due to
unfilled vacant positions and other lower than budgeted cost savings.
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 of 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 Position presents information on all of the assets and deferred outflows and liabilities and
deferred inflows of Miami Shores Village, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position 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 position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position 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, public works, building,
planning, zoning, code enforcement, parks and recreation. The business-type activities of the Village include
Sanitation, Stormwater, and Water and Sewer operations.
The government-wide financial statements may be found on pages 14 to 15 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 governments,
uses 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 funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-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 thirteen (13) individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balance for the general fund and the three major funds. Data from the other nine 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 statements may be found on pages 16 to 19 of this report.
Proprietary funds. Miami Shores Village maintains three proprietary or enterprise funds. Enterprise Funds are used
to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Miami
Shores uses enterprise funds to account for its Sanitation, Stormwater, and Water & Sewer 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, Stormwater,
and Water & Sewer operations, the Sanitation Fund is considered to be a major fund 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 20 to 22 of this report.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
5
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 23 to 24 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 25 to 73 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 74 to 88 of this report.
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. Combining and individual fund
statements and schedules may be found on pages 89 to 100 of this report.

Net position may be used to assess the financial position of the Village. The Village’s combined net position as of
September 30, 2017 was $32.6 million. Approximately 58%, or $19 million, of the Village’s net position represent net
investment in capital assets. These assets include land, buildings, machinery and equipment, and infrastructure and
are not available for future spending. Additionally, $9.8 million are restricted net position and are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be spent.
At September 30, 2017, Miami Shores Village had an unrestricted net position of $3.6 million. At the end of the current
fiscal year, Miami Shores Village is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the
government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

Business-type activities. The Miami Shores Village major business-type activities include the following enterprise
funds:
Sanitation Fund
Stormwater Fund
Water & Sewer Fund
Net position of business-type activities decreased by approximately $209 thousand. This decrease is due to increased
costs in Sanitation and the continued implementation of GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting
for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. Under this Statement, the Village is required to record the
net pension liability in the business-type-activities for the current year, as well as, having to restate the net position as
of September 30, 2015. The amount of the restatement is $353 thousand. The ending net position at September 30,
2015 of $5.6 million is restated to the beginning net position of $5.3 million at September 30, 2016. The bar graph
below summarizes the expenses and program revenues of the business-type activities.

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 unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful indicator of the governments
net resources available for spending at the end of a fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the governmental funds for Miami Shores Village reported combined ending
fund balances of $13.2 million, a $1 million decrease compared to FY2016. Of this amount, $6.4 million reflects
unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund
balance is committed or restricted to indicate that it is not available for new spending as those dollars have already
been 1) committed to liquidate contracts or encumbered fiscal obligations (outstanding purchase orders) valued at
$769 thousand, 2) restricted for funds which restrict how the funds may be spent of $6 million and 3) nonspendable
for funds used to account for amounts which cannot currently be spent, such as prepaid expenses of $10 thousand.
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the Village. At the end of the current fiscal year, the unassigned
fund balance for the General Fund was $7.5 million as compared with $7.9 million in the prior year.

The Village's General Fund balance decreased by $502 thousand during the 2017 fiscal year. This can be attributed
to the purchase of a residence contiguous with an existing park increasing available green space for resident use.
Although the Village had budgeted a $1.4 million deficit to purchase the residence, build a park, and hire additional
police officers, departmental savings, due to unfilled vacant positions and other lower than budgeted cost savings,
reduced the anticipated deficit.
The Village has four other major funds, Excise Tax Fund, Police Forfeiture, General Trust Fund and Grant Fund. The
Excise Tax Fund collects public service taxes, per loan requirements, and transfers the taxes to the General Fund.
The fund balance of $766 thousand will be transferred to the general fund in future years.
The Police Forfeiture Fund accumulates proceeds which are received from forfeitures related to ongoing
investigations. The Village has one officer assigned to the federal program. The expenditure of these funds is
restricted by strict governmental rules and approval of the Village Council. The fund balance of $1.5 million will be
used for future projects for the Police Department.
The General Trust Fund accumulates funds that are restricted for specific purposes, i.e. recreation, building
department, library, and charter school repairs. During fiscal year 2017, the fund balance decreased $78 thousand
dollars. These funds were used to upgrade software utilized by the Building Department. The fund balance of $1.2
million will be used for future projects.
The Grant Fund accounts for the proceeds received from Federal, State, and other local sources in the form of grants
that are restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. During fiscal year 2017, the Village accumulated expenditures
related to hurricane cleanup costs and property damage. These expenditures are reimbursed to the Village by the
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the State of Florida. The fund balance at year end was
a deficit of $1.1 million. This deficit will be eliminated in fiscal year 2018 once reimbursement is received from the
agencies discussed above.
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 position of the Sanitation Fund at the end of the year totaled $1 million. Unrestricted net position
will be used to fund future purchases of capital assets.
• Unrestricted net position of the Stormwater Fund at the end of the year totaled $950 thousand, a $52 thousand
increase in unrestricted net position. Unrestricted net position is maintained to fund future projects for the
existing stormwater system.
• Unrestricted net position of the Water & Sewer Fund at the end of the year totaled $26,560. Unrestricted net
position is maintained to fund future maintenance of the system.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The Village adopts annual budgets by fund, general 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 1st year. The Village has also adopted a policy which provides for the reappropriation of committed
fund balance for encumbrances. This amendment is usually 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

Over the course of the year, the Village amended the General Fund budget five times. The budget amendments fall
into two categories: (1) Amendments are approved for rollovers related to prior year encumbrances; and (2)
supplemental appropriations to provide appropriations for various other needs which have arisen since the adoption
of the budget. W ith these adjustments, disbursements were approximately $1.15 million below final budgeted
amounts. Savings were realized in general government, $295 thousand, public safety, $410 thousand, public works,
$114 thousand, and culture and recreation, $327 thousand. These savings in general government costs and various
departmental costs were due to staff vacancies and conservative spending.
The fiscal year 2017 final amended budget was $16.8 million, an increase of 6.6 % over the original General Fund
budget of $15.8 million. Correspondingly, the Consumer Price Index (or inflation index) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics – All Urban Consumers for the past year was 2.2%. The final Adopted Budget is balanced with revenues of
$12.3 million, $3.1 million in operating transfers from Excise Tax, Sanitation Fund and Stormwater Fund and $1.4
million from fund balance. Cost savings of $1.15 million, less the lower than anticipated revenues of $265 thousand,
reduced the fund balance appropriation to $510 thousand.
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, 2017 amounts to $28.5 million (net of accumulated depreciation). The increase of approximately
$222 thousand is related to the $500 thousand purchase of a residence contiguous with an existing park, less annual
depreciation. The investment in capital assets includes Village-owned buildings, equipment and other infrastructure
(streets, sidewalks, easements, right-of-ways). The value of capital investments includes the cost of the Doctors’
Charter School of Miami Shores. The following table summarizes the components of the Village’s investments in
capital assets.

Long-term Liabilities. At September 30, 2016, Miami Shores Village had $22.8 million in long-term liabilities, which
are summarized in the schedule below. The increase of $6.2 million is related to a note payable of $5 million for the
construction of a water and sewer project in the Northeast Second Avenue Business District and GASB Statement
No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. Additional

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
Miami Shores Village is a single-family, residential 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 six-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. Quality 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.
The State of Florida, by constitution, does not have a state personal income tax and therefore, the State operates
primarily using sales, gasoline and corporate income taxes. Local governments (cities, counties, and school boards)
primarily rely upon property taxes and a limited array of permitted other taxes (sales, telecommunication, gasoline,
utilities services, etc.) and fees (franchise, building permits, occupational licenses, etc.) for funding of their
governmental activities. In addition, there are a number of state-shared revenues and recurring and non-recurring
(one-time) grants from both the state and federal governments.
On January 29, 2008, the Florida electorate approved an amendment to the Florida Constitution relative to property
taxation. This amendment (referred to as Amendment 1) was placed on the ballot by the Florida legislature at a
special session held in October 2007. With respect to homestead property, Amendment 1 increases the $25,000
homestead exemption by another $25,000 for the portion of assessed property value exceeding $50,000, except for
school district taxes. Amendment 1 also allows property owners to transfer (make portable) up to $500,000 of their
Save Our Homes benefits to their next homestead when they move. Save Our Homes became effective in 1995 and
limits (caps) the annual increase in assessed value for homestead property to three percent (3%) or the percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less.
With respect to non-homestead property, Amendment 1 limits (caps) the annual increase in assessed value for non-
homestead property (businesses, industrial property, rental property, second homes, etc.) to ten percent (10%), except
for school district taxes. The Amendment also provides a $25,000 exemption for tangible personal property.
Amendment 1 became effective on October 1, 2008 with the exception of the ten percent (10%) assessment cap on
non-homestead property which became effective on January 1, 2009. Additional tax relief bills, which could further
limit the extent to which municipalities can levy taxes, continue to be introduced by the state legislature.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

Actual taxes levied by the Village in 2017 reflected an increase of $578 thousand, precipitated by an increase in
property values of $73 million or 8.1% in property values as compared with 2016. Based on the current real estate
market within the Village, it is anticipated that assessed values will continue to increase due to the desirability of the
area and the close location to Greater Downtown Miami.
Property values for fiscal year 2017 showed an increase of $73 million, increasing property tax revenues by $578
thousand. During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $7.4 million, a decrease
of $500 thousand compared to the unreserved fund balance in 2016 of $7.9 million. This $7.4 million is approximately
equal to 5.7 months of General Fund operating expenditures. Even though fair market property values are expected
to increase; assessed property values are limited by the “Save Our Homes” benefits. This limits the increase in
property tax revenue even when property values are increasing. Expenditures such as payroll and personnel benefits
will continue to increase. Fiscal year 2018 budgeted expenditures and transfers are expected to be $15.6 million, or
1.3%, less than the fiscal year 2017 budget of $15.8 million. The Village, as can be shown in the following graph, is
maintaining its unassigned fund balance so that a portion of unassigned fund balance will be available to preclude or
moderate additional increases in operational expenditures, or be available to fund capital improvements.
General Fund Unrestricted and Unassigned Surplus
For the Fiscal Years ended September 30, 2008-2017
In 1995, the state of Florida limited all local governments’ ability to increase property assessments of homestead
property in any given year to 3 percent or cost of living, whichever is lower. The graph below shows the millage rates
over the past ten years. For many years, the Village, just like many cities across the country, had to face the challenge
of keeping taxes and service charges as low as possible while providing residents with the level of service they have
come to expect.

For the Fiscal Years ended September 30, 2008-2017
Fiscal year 2018 budgeted expenditures and transfers are expected to decrease $200 thousand compared with fiscal
year 2017. This decrease in expenditures is due to a reduction in debt service and capital transfers.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Financial Reporting Entity
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 its 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 the establishment and adoption of policy. The Village provides the
following full range of municipal services as authorized by its charter: public safety, streets, sanitation,
stormwater, culture and recreational activities, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general
administrative services.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these basic financial statements present the
reporting entity of the Village. Component units are legally separate entities for which the government
is considered to be financially accountable and for which the nature and significance of their relationship
with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the Village’s combined financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The primary government is considered financially
accountable if it appoints a voting majority of an organization’s governing body and 1) it is able to
impose its will on the organization or 2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific
financial benefit to or impose specific financial burden on the Board. Additionally, the primary
government is required to consider other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Based upon the application of these criteria, there
were no organizations which met the criteria described above.
The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting. The more significant of the Village's
accounting policies are described below:
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Village. For the most part, the
effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. 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.
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

B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
in the fund financial statements. All remaining non-major governmental funds are aggregated and
reported as other governmental or other proprietary funds.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of 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. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues
in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as
all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon
as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For
this purpose, the Village considers receivables collected within 60 days after year-end to be available
and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. 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 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. Revenues for expenditure driven grants are recognized when the qualifying expenditures are
incurred. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received by the Village.
The Village reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This fund is the Village’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Grant Fund - This fund accounts for the use of specific designated resources related to grant
programs.
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.
Police Forfeiture - This fund accounts for proceeds obtained through the sale of confiscated and
unclaimed property turned over to the Village through court judgments. Proceeds are to be used
solely for law enforcement purposes.
General Trust Fund - This fund accumulates assets for its employees, other governmental entities
and/or funds, primarily for the recreation, library and police departments, as well as the charter
school.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The Village reports the following major proprietary fund:
Sanitation Fund - This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the Village’s sanitation
system.
Stormwater Fund - This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the Village’s
stormwater system.
Water & Sewer Fund - This fund accounts for the annual assessments to pay for the construction
cost and maintenance fees for the NE Second Avenue Business District Water & Sewer Project.
Future maintenance costs for the grind pumps will be paid from this fund.
Additionally, the Village reports the following fund types:
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 account for the activities of the Police Pension and
General Employees’ Retirement Plans, which accumulate resources for pension benefits to
qualified employees.
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 the operating needs of the
school.
Agency Fund - The agency fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations
or have a measurement focus. This fund is used to account for assets that the Village holds for
others in an agency capacity.
The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for governmental accounting and financial
reporting. The financial statements of the Village follow the guidance of GASB Statement No. 62,
Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989
FASB and AICPA Pronouncements for both the government wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. Governments also have the option of following subsequent FASB pronouncements for their
business-type activities and enterprise funds subject to this same limitation. The Village has elected
not to follow subsequent FASB 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 enterprise fund 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, and 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. Proceeds from local option gas tax and
Transportation Surtax are used to fund transportation related expenditures and therefore are reported
as program revenues under the function “Public Works”.
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 sanitation, and stormwater fund and internal service funds are charges to customers or other
funds for services. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds and internal service funds include the
cost 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 Village policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as needed.
D. Deposits and Investments
The Village's cash and cash equivalents, for purpose of the statement of cash flows, include cash on
hand, time and demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months
or less from the date of acquisition. The Village maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all
funds. Interest earned on pooled cash is allocated to each of the funds, based on the fund’s average
pooled cash balance on a monthly basis.
All of the Village’s investments are reported at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices. The
Village’s investments consist of amounts placed with the State Board of Administration in the Local
Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (Florida PRIME) investment pool. The Florida PRIME is
considered a SEC 2a-7-like fund, thus reported at its fair value of its position in the pool, which is the
same as its value of the pool shares.
The Plan’s investments are carried at fair value using quoted market prices to value investments.
Differences between cost and market value are recorded as net unrealized gains or losses. Net realized
gains or losses for securities which are sold are combined with the unrealized gains and losses and
shown as “net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments” in plan net position. Dividends
and interest are recognized as earned. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-
date basis.
The Village's investments in Florida PRIME are governed by the provisions of Florida Statutes Section
218.415. Investments in the Village's retirement plans are governed by the Plan's investment policies.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
E. 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) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans). All
other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds”. Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
F. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of governmental
fund-type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased
(consumption method). In the governmental funds, reported inventories are offset by fund balance
reserve which indicates that they do not constitute available spendable resources. Certain payments
to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded – in both, the
government-wide and fund financial statements – as prepaid items by recording an asset for the prepaid
amount and recognizing the expenditure in the year such item is consumed (consumption method).
Amounts reported 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.
G. Property Taxes
Property values are assessed as of January 1 of each year, at which time taxes become an enforceable
lien on the property. Tax bills are mailed for the Village by Miami Dade County on or about October 1
of each year and are payable with discounts of up to 4% offered for early payment. Taxes become
delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year of assessment and State law provides for
enforcement of collection of property taxes by seizure of the personal property or by the sale of interest-
bearing tax certificates to satisfy unpaid property taxes.
Assessed values are established by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. In November 1992,
a Florida constitutional amendment was approved by the voters, which provides for limiting the
increases in homestead property valuations for ad valorem tax purposes to a maximum of 3% annually
and also provides for reassessment of market values upon changes in ownership. The County bills and
collects all property taxes and remits them to the Village.
State statutes permit municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10 mills ($10 per $1,000 of
assessed taxable valuation). The tax levy of the Village is established by the Village Council and the
Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser incorporates the Village’s millage into the total tax levy, which
includes the County and the County School Board tax requirements. The millage rate assessed by the
Village for the year ended September 30, 2017 was 7.9000 mills ($7.9000 per $1,000 of taxable
assessed valuation).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
H. Restricted Assets
Assets of the debt service fund have been classified as restricted because their use is restricted by a
bond indenture agreement for the Village’s debt service requirements. Proceeds from forfeiture funds
are classified as restricted in the Law Enforcement Training and Police Forfeiture Special Revenue
Funds since these resources are specifically earmarked for law enforcement purposes only.
Additionally, proceeds from the People’s Transportation Tax and Local Option Gas Tax are classified
as restricted since these resources may only be used for road and transportation related expenditures.
Assets held in the General Trust Fund are restricted primarily for recreation, library and police
departments, as well as the charter school.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities
columns in the government-wide financial statements. The Village defines capital assets as assets with
an initial, individual cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years.
Purchased or constructed assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated
capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The
costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially extend its
useful life are not capitalized.
Capital assets of the Village are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated
useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 10-40
Land improvements 40
Infrastructure 30
Sanitation equipment 10
Vehicles 5
Other equipment, machinery, furniture and fixtures 3-10
J. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized
as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Village has pension amounts that
qualify for reporting in this category on the government-wide statement of net position in the amount of
$3,579,256.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
J. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources (Continued)
In additions to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized
as inflows of resources (revenue) until that time. The Village has local business licenses taxes and
pension expenses that quality for reporting in this category in the amount of $ 87,400 and $410,386,
respectively.
Net position is the residual of all other elements presented in a statement of financial position. It is the
difference between (a) assets plus deferred outflow of resources and (b) liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources.
K. 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 on a monthly basis. Vacation leave accrued in 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 a maximum allotted for the employee’s length of
service.
The Village’s sick leave policy provides for the accumulation of one 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
(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 is accrued and reported as a fund liability when it is probable that the Village
will compensate the employee with expendable available financial resources. Vacation and sick leave
is accrued when incurred in proprietary funds and reported as a fund liability. All vacation pay is accrued
when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these
amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of
employee resignations and retirements. For governmental funds, compensated absences are generally
liquidated by the General Fund.
L. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues include amounts collected before revenue recognition criteria are met and
receivables, which, under the modified accrual basis of accounting, are measurable, but not yet
available. The unearned items consist primarily of license and permit revenues. Unearned revenues
in the proprietary funds are related to billings for the 16-17 fiscal year.

employees. At September 30, 2017, for purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and pension expense,
information about the General Employees’ Retirement Plan and the Police Officers’ Retirement Plan
are presented in the government-wide statement of net position. The net pension liability is a function
of the annual required contributions, interest, adjustments to the annual required contribution, annual
pension costs and actual employer’s contributions made to the Plans. Please refer to Note 10 for further
information.
N. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
Pursuant to Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, the Village is mandated to permit participation in the
health insurance program by retirees and their eligible dependents at a cost to the retiree that is no
greater than the cost at which coverage is available for active employees. Retirees are required to pay
100% of the premium rates where premiums are determined based upon a blended rates used for
active employees and retirees. These premium rates were adjusted to reflect differing utilization rates
by age and gender and the impact of the Medicare program on claim costs. The blended rates provide
an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an actuarial basis, their current and future claims are
expected to result in higher costs to the plan on average than those of active employees. The Village
currently provides these benefits in accordance with the vesting and retirement requirements of the
Village.
The Village is financing the post employee benefits on a pay-as-you go basis. As determined by an
actuarial valuation, the Village records a net OPEB obligation in its government-wide and proprietary
financial statements related to the implicit subsidy. For governmental funds, the OPEB obligation is
generally liquidated by the General Fund. The OPEB plan does not issue separate financial statements.
O. 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 position.
Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred except for insurance cost which are amortized over the
term of the related debt. For proprietary fund types, bonds payable are reported net of the applicable
bond premium or discount.
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
other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources
while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs are reported
as debt service expenditures as incurred.

P. Net Position
Total net position as of September 30, 2017, is classified into three components of net position:
Net investment in capital assets
This category consists of capital assets (including restricted capital assets), net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by any outstanding balances of bonds, mortgages, notes or other
borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, and improvements of those assets,
excluding unexpended proceeds.
Restricted net position
This category consists of net position restricted in their use by (1) external groups such as grantors,
creditors or laws and regulations of other governments; or (2) law, through constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position
This category includes all of the remaining net position that does not meet the definition of the other
two categories.
Q. Fund Balance
As of September 30, 2017, fund balances of the governmental funds are classified as follows:
Non-spendable
Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in non-spendable form or because they are
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted
Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
Committed
Amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Village
Council. The Village Council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the Village.
Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through ordinances or resolutions
approved by the Village Council. Both ordinances and resoultions are equally binding. Committed
fund balance also should incorporate contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources
in the fund have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.
Assigned
Assigned fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the Village's intent to be used for
specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is established by the Village
Council who has the authority to assign, modify or rescind amounts to be used for specific
purposes. This is delegated to the Village Manager by the Council. This balance includes (a) all
remaining amounts that are reported in governmental funds (other than the General Fund) that are
not classified as nonspendable, restricted, or committed, and (b) amounts in the General Fund that
are intended to be used for a specific purpose.

Q. Fund Balance (Continued)
Assigned (Continued)
Specific amounts that are not restricted or committed in a special revenue or capital projects fund
are assigned for the purposes in accordance with the nature of their fund type, Assignment within
the General Fund conveys that the intended use of those amounts is for a specific purpose that is
narrower than the general purposes of the Village itself.
Unassigned
This fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. The General Fund is the only
fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. This category is also used to report
negative fund balances in other governmental funds.
The Village considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund
balance is available unless there are legal documents/contracts that prohibit this, such as grant
agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the Village would first use committed, then
assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made.

R. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted-net position and unrestricted-net
position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order
in which resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village’s policy to consider restricted net
position to have been depleted before unrestricted-net position is applied.
S. Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the
amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the
governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the
resources are considered to be applied. It Is the Village’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to
have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when
the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund
balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance, if any, is applied
last.
T. Capital Contributions
Capital contributions in proprietary fund financial statements arise from grants or outside contributions
of resources restricted to capital acquisition and construction.
U. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities, revenues and expenditures/expenses
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include assessing the
collectibility of receivables, the realization of pension obligations, OPEB and the useful lives of capital
assets. Although these estimates as well as all estimates are based on management's knowledge of
current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
By its nature as a local government unit, the Village is subject to various federal, state, and local laws
and contractual regulations. The Village has no material violations of finance-related legal and
contractual obligations.
Fund Accounting Requirements
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. The Village, like any other state and local governments,
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related requirements, bond
covenants, and segregation for management purposes.

Revenue Restrictions
The Village has various restrictions placed over certain revenue sources from federal, state, or local
requirements. The primary revenue sources include:
Revenue Source Legal Restrictions of Use
Gas Tax Roads, sidewalks, streets
Transportation Surtax Transportation and roads
Police Forfeitures Law Enforcement
Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster mitigation
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Village complied, in all material respects, with these
revenue restrictions.
NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, all deposits are
held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of Florida to hold public funds.
Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida 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 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 obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies, instrumentalities
and the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the State Board of Administration
(SBA). The investment policy defined in the statutes attempts to promote, through state assistance, the
maximization of net interest earnings on invested surplus funds of local units of governments while
limiting the risk to which the funds are exposed.
The SBA administers Florida PRIME (“PRIME”), which is governed by Chapter 19-7 of the Florida
Administrative Code and Chapters 215 and 219 of the Florida Statutes. These rules provide guidance
and establish the policies and general operating procedures of the administration of PRIME. PRIME is
not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, the SBA has adopted
operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 fund, which permits money market
funds to use amortized cost to maintain a constant net asset value (“NAV”) of $1 per share. The fair
value of the position in the Florida PRIME is equal to the value of the pool shares.
Additionally, the Office of the Auditor General of the State of Florida performs the operational audit of
the activities and investment of the SBA. The SBA accounts are not subject to custodial credit risk as
these investments are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or bank entry form.

Investments (Continued)
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants,
the Village’s investment in the Florida PRIME meets the definition of a qualifying investment pool that
measures for financial reporting purposes all of its investments at amortized cost and should disclose
the presence of any limitations or restrictions on withdrawals. As of September 30, 2017, there were
no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any other requirements that serve to limit a
participant’s daily access to 100 percent of their account value.

As of September 30, 2017, the Village had the following investments:
Investment Type Fair Value

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the portfolio’s exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest
rates. The Village does not have a written policy on interest rate risk; however, the Village manages
its exposure to declines in fair values by limiting the weighted average monthly maturity of its investment
portfolio to less than 180 days. The weighted average days to maturity (WAM) of the Florida PRIME as
of September 30, 2017 is 51 days. Next interest rate reset dates for floating rate securities are used in
the calculation of the WAM. The weighted average like (WAL) of Florida PRIME at September 30, 2017,
is 80 days.
Credit Risk
State law limits investments in bonds, U.S. Treasuries and agency obligations, or other evidences of
indebtedness to the top ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO)
of the United States. The PRIME is rated AAAm by Standard and Poor’s.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Village’s investment policy does not stipulate any limit on the percentage that can be invested in
any one issuer. GASB Statement No. 40 requires disclosure when the percent is 5% or more in any
one issuer. As of September 30, 2017, the value of each position held in the Village’s portfolio
comprised of less than 5% of the Village’s investment assets.
Investments Pension Plans
The Pension Board of Trustees has developed certain investment guidelines and has retained
investment managers. The investment managers are expected to maximize the return on the
investment portfolio and may make transactions consistent with that expectation within the Board's
guidelines. The investment managers are compensated based on a percentage of their portfolio's
market value.
The Plans’ investment policy is determined by the Board who is responsible for directing the investment
of the assets of the Plans to ensure that there will be adequate monies for future benefits. The policy
has been identified by the Board to conduct the operations of the Plans in a manner so that the assets
will provide the pension and other benefits provided under applicable laws, including Village
ordinances, preserving principal while maximizing the rate of return.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair
value to changes in market interest rates. As a means of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, the
Plan diversifies its investments by security type and institution, and limits holdings in any one type of
investment with any one issuer with various durations of maturities.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of its value due to a real or
perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. This risk is generally measured by the
assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Plan’s investment
policy utilizes portfolio diversification in order to control this risk. The Plan’s investment policies limit
investments in fixed income securities to a rating of investment grade or higher.

The investment policy of the Plan contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one
issuer as well as maximum portfolio allocation percentages. As of September 30, 2017, no investment
by any one issuer was above the 5% threshold required for disclosure.
Custodial of Credit Risk
This is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the Plan will not be able to recover the
value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Consistent
with the Plan’s investment policy, the investments are held by Plan’s custodial bank and registered in
the Plan’s name.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan has investments in a combination of stocks, bonds, government securities and other
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 balances and the amounts reported in the
statement of plan net position and the statement of changes in plan net position. The Plan, through its
investment advisors, monitors the Plan's investments and the risks associated therewith on a regular
basis, which the Plan believes minimizes these risks.
The Village does not participate in any securities lending transactions nor has it used, held or written
derivative financial instruments.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Village categorizes
its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of
the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are
significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Plan’s investments measured
at fair value:
Fixed income securities are valued using pricing inputs that reflect the assumptions market
participants would use to price an asset or liability and are developed based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. This includes government securities,
corporate bonds, and mortgage backed securities.
Equity securities traded on national or international exchanges are valued at the last reported sales
price or current exchange rates. This includes equity mutual funds, common stock, and exchange-
traded fund.
The Plans have the following recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2017:

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS - PLANS’ REPORTING
The Village maintains two separate defined benefit single-employer pension plans, the General
Employees' Retirement Plan and the Police Officers' Retirement Plan which cover substantially all of
its full-time employees. The Village accounts for these pension plans as pension trust funds.
Basis of Accounting
The Village's pension plans are accounted for 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 Investments
Investments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on national or international exchanges are
valued at the last reported sales price or exchange rate. Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of
investments includes the difference between cost and fair value of investments held as well as the net
realized gains or losses from securities sold. Interest and dividend income is recognized on the accrual
basis when earned. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis.

General Employees’ Retirement Plan
Plan Description
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 Plan is 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 and death
benefits to Plan members and beneficiaries. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report.
Deferred Retirement Option Plan
Effective December 5, 2006, current employees may elect to participate in the deferred retirement
option plan (DROP) the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date of normal
retirement. Election into the DROP is voluntary. The employee may elect to participate in the plan for
a maximum of 60 months. Once participation in the DROP commences, such participation constitutes
an irrevocable election.
A member's continuous service and accrued benefit under the Plan shall be determined 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. No payments are made directly to the employee from
the 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 General Employees'
Pension Plan 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.

General Employees’ Retirement Plan (Continued)
Deferred Retirement Option Plan (Continued)
Upon termination of employment with the Village or 60 months of DROP participation, the balance of
the DROP account will become payable in addition to the monthly normal retirement benefit (which is
based on credited service and average monthly salary on the DROP election date). The DROP account
is distributed to the member in a single lump sum payment or a direct rollover to another qualified
retirement plan. If a member dies before the member's DROP account balance has been paid in full,
distribution of the DROP account balance will be made according to the member's designation. DROP
payments to a beneficiary will be in addition to any retirement benefits payable by the Plan. Under any
option and in no event may the total benefit payments to the member or the beneficiary be less than
the member's own accumulated contributions. As of September 30, 2017, there were 7 members in the
DROP and their fair value of DROP investment was $635,558 which is included in the Plan’s net
position. At the end of September 30, 2017, the Plan had no DROP Liability.
Funding Requirement
Plan members are required to contribute 6% of their annual covered salary. The Village contributes at
actuarially determined rates that are designed to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when
due. Effective May 30, 2012, the Division of Retirement mandated that local governments confer with
the Plan’s actuary to select and maintain contribution method (percentage of payroll or fixed dollar
contributions) that best fits the funding requirements of the Plan. The Plan determined to use the
“percentage of payroll contribution” method for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
The actual contribution from the Village for active members were actuarially determined using the
actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2015 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The contributions
consisted of the following at September 30, 2017:

Significant Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2017 and rolled
forward to the measurement date of September 30, 2017 using the following actuarial assumptions:
Interest rates:
Single discount rate 7.50%
Long-term expected rate of return 7.50%
Mortality table RP-2000 Combined Healthy Participant Mortality
Table for males and females with mortality improvement
projected to all future years after 2000 using Scale BB.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investment was determined using the long-term
nominal building block data less the long-term inflation assumption of 2.5%. The building block long-
term real return projections were develop considering the long-term historic capital market returns, 10-
15 year expected capital market return assumptions, as well as, historical, current, and expected
inflation data. Best estimates of arithmetic real return for each asset class included in the pension plan’s
target allocation as of September 30, 2017 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Asset Group Real Rate of Return
Domestic Equity 7.5%
International Equity 8.5%
Fixed Income 2.5%
Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. This single discount
rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be
made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the
difference between the total actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments (7.50%) was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the single discount rate, the following
presents the plan’s net pension liability, calculated using a single discount rate of 7.50%, as well as
what the plan’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is 1-
percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher:

Police Officers' Retirement Plan
Plan 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 determined 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 70 1/4 years. As of September 30, 2017, there were 4 members in the DROP and their fair
value of DROP investment was $1,050,437 which is included in the Plan’s net position. At the end of
September 30, 2017, the Plan had no DROP liability.
Funding Requirement
Plan members are required to contribute 9% of their annual covered salary. The Village contributes at
actuarially determined rates that are designed to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when
due. Effective May 30, 2012, the Division of Retirement mandated that local governments confer with
the Plan’s actuary to select and maintain contribution method (percentage of payroll or fixed dollar
contributions) that best fits the funding requirements of the Plan. The Plan determined to use the
“percentage of payroll contribution” method for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
Pursuant to Chapter 185, Florida Statutes, a portion of all insurance premium tax monies received in
excess of the threshold of $60,386 are to be utlized to provide future minimum extra benefits and may
not be used to reduce or offset the contribution requirements of the employer.
The actual contribution from the Village for active members were actuarially determined using the

difference between the total actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments (7.50%) was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the single discount rate, the following
presents the plan’s net pension liability, calculated using a single discount rate of 7.50%, as well as
what the plan’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is 1-
percentage-point lower or 1-percentage-point higher:

As described in Note 9, the Village maintains two separate defined benefit single-employer pension
plans, the General Employees' Retirement Plan and the Police Officers' Retirement Plan which cover
substantially all of its full-time employees. The following details the disclosures as required by GASB
Statement No. 68.
Basis of Accounting
The Village's pension plans are accounted for 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 Investments
Investments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on national or international exchanges are
valued at the last reported sales price or exchange rate. Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of
investments includes the difference between cost and fair value of investments held as well as the net
realized gains or losses from securities sold. Interest and dividend income is recognized on the accrual
basis when earned. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis.
Membership

General Employees’ Retirement Plan
Plan Description
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 Plan is 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 and death
benefits to Plan members and beneficiaries. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS VILLAGE’S REPORTING (Continued)
General Employees’ Retirement Plan (Continued)
Deferred Retirement Option Plan
Effective December 5, 2006, current employees may elect to participate in the deferred retirement
option plan (DROP) the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date of normal
retirement. Election into the DROP is voluntary. The employee may elect to participate in the plan for
a maximum of 60 months. Once participation in the DROP commences, such participation constitutes
an irrevocable election.
A member's continuous service and accrued benefit under the Plan shall be determined 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. No payments are made directly to the employee from
the 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 General Employees'
Pension Plan 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.
Upon termination of employment with the Village or 60 months of DROP participation, the balance of
the DROP account will become payable in addition to the monthly normal retirement benefit (which is
based on credited service and average monthly salary on the DROP election date). The DROP account
is distributed to the member in a single lump sum payment or a direct rollover to another qualified
retirement plan. If a member dies before the member's DROP account balance has been paid in full,
distribution of the DROP account balance will be made according to the member's designation. DROP
payments to a beneficiary will be in addition to any retirement benefits payable by the Plan. Under any
option and in no event may the total benefit payments to the member or the beneficiary be less than
the member's own accumulated contributions. As of September 30, 2017, there were 7 members in the
DROP and their fair value of DROP investment was $635,558 which is included in the Plan’s net
position. At the end of September 30, 2017, the Village had no DROP liability.
Funding Requirement
Plan members are required to contribute 6% of their annual covered salary. The Village contributes at
actuarially determined rates that are designed to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when
due. Effective May 30, 2012, the Division of Retirement mandated that local governments confer with
the Plan’s actuary to select and maintain contribution method (percentage of payroll or fixed dollar
contributions) that best fits the funding requirements of the Plan. The Plan determined to use the
“percentage of payroll contribution” method for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investment was determined using the long-term
nominal building block data less the long-term inflation assumption of 2.5%. The building block long-
term real return projections were develop considering the long-term historic capital market returns, 10-
15 year expected capital market return assumptions, as well as, historical, current, and expected
inflation data. Best estimates of arithmetic real return for each asset class included in the pension plan’s
target allocation as of September 30, 2015 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Asset Group Real Rate of Return
Domestic Equity 7.5%

Fixed Income 2.5% Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. This single discount
rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.50%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be
made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the

Plan 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 Description (Continued)
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 determined 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 70 & 1/4 years. As of September 30, 2017, there were 4 members in the DROP and their
fair value of DROP investment was $1,050,438 which is included in the Plan’s net position. At the end
of September 30, 2017, the Plan had no DROP liability.
Funding Requirement
Plan members are required to contribute 9% of their annual covered salary. The Village contributes at
actuarially determined rates that are designed to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when
due. Effective May 30, 2012, the Division of Retirement mandated that local governments confer with
the Plan’s actuary to select and maintain contribution method (percentage of payroll or fixed dollar
contributions) that best fits the funding requirements of the Plan. The Plan determined to use the
“percentage of payroll contribution” method for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Pursuant to Chapter 185, Florida Statutes, a portion of all insurance premium tax monies received in
excess of the threshold of $60,386 are to be utlized to provide future minimum extra benefits and may
not be used to reduce or offset the contribution requirements of the employer.

NOTE 11 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.
As of September 30, 2017, there were two workers' compensation claims outstanding under the
previous self-insurance program.
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 past three years ended September 30, 2017 are
as follows:
2017 2016 2015
Unpaid claims, beginning $ 340,000 $ 340,000 $ 340,000

NOTE 12- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of operations are pending against the Village.
While the ultimate effect of such litigation cannot be ascertained at this time, in the opinion of legal
counsel, the Village has sufficient insurance coverage to cover any claims and/or liabilities, which may
arise from such action. The effect of such losses would not materially affect the financial position of the
Village or the results of its operations.
Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. In the opinion of management, future disallowances of grant expenditures, if any,
would not have a material adverse effect on the Village's financial condition.
NOTE 13 - OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description and Provisions
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) are available to all employees eligible for Disability, Early or
Normal Retirement, as above, after terminating employment with the Village. The OPEB benefits
include access to coverage for the retiree and dependents under the Medical and Prescription Plans
as well as participation in the Dental group plans sponsored by the Village for employees. The Village

Plan Description and Provisions (Continued)
provides all financial information and required disclosures of its other post-employment benefit plan in
this document; therefore, a separate audited post-employment benefits plan report is not available.
Membership
As of October 1, 2015 (the date of the latest actuarial valuations) health care and dental plan
participants consisted of:
Active participants 100
Retired participants 7
Total participants 107 Health-Related Benefits
Eligible retirees may choose among the same Medical Plan options available for active employees of
the Village. Dependents of retirees may be covered at the retiree’s option the same as dependents of
active employees. Prescription Drug coverage is automatically extended to retirees and their
dependents who continue coverage under any one of the Medical Plan options. Covered retirees and
their dependents are subject to all the same Medical and Prescription benefits and rules for coverage
as are active employees.
Retirees who are over age 65 are only eligible to enroll in Medicare Advantage Plan.
Retiree Contributions for Medical/Prescription
In order to begin and maintain retiree Medical/Prescription coverage, premium contributions are
required from the retiree. For dependent coverage, the retiree is required to pay a premium as well. If
any required amounts are not paid timely, the coverage for the retiree and/or the dependent(s) will
cease. The amount of the contributions required for retiree and dependent coverage may change from
time to time.
Medical Insurance Supplement
Retired Police Officers are eligible for supplemental payments from the Village in the amount of $100
per month to help pay for the costs of health insurance, even if retired officers have coverage through
a different health plan. Eligibility is conditioned upon demonstration that the Officer has health insurance
coverage. The benefit stops at age 65.
This benefit is partially funded during active employment with the Village – Police officers contribute
$4.05 per pay period towards future payments from the Village. In the event of termination prior to 10
years of service, the accumulated employee contributions are forfeited. In the event of termination after
10 years of service but prior to OPEB eligibility, the member may request a refund of the employee
contribution and forfeit the right to future coverage. The employee contributions are not held in a
qualifying trust or similar arrangement.

Disabled Retirees Premium Contributions
Members eligible for disability retirement are subject to premium payments the same as all regular
retirees. An exception is made to Police Officers who had sustained catastrophic injuries in the line of
duty. Premiums for health coverage of such officers, their spouses and any dependent children will be
paid by the Village as prescribed by the Florida Statute Sections 112.19(2)(g)1 and 112.19(2)(h)1
respectively (first introduced as the Alu-O'Hara Public Safety Act).
Funding Policy
Benefits are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Annual Required Contribution (ARC)
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 45, an actuarial study was prepared calculating the
postemployment healthcare costs as of October 1, 2015. The actuarial valuation estimated the
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued liability (UAAL) of $1,767,654 and an Annual Required Contribution (ARC)
of $199,950. The ARC represents a level of funding that if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to
cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded liability amounts over a period not to exceed
30 years.
The following table shows the components of the Village's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount
actually contributed, and the changes in the net OPEB obligation:
Annual required contribution (ARC) $ 204,660
Interest on net OPEB obligation 30,138

fund, Risk Management and Fleet Maintenance Fund.
a) 35 days prior to the fiscal year end, the Village Manager submits to the Village Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1st. 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. For all other
funds it is legally maintained at the fund level.

(TRIM) legislation.
c) Prior to September 28th (unless preempted by TRIM) as stated in the Village's Charter, the budget
is legally enacted through passage of a resolution.
d) 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.
e) Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended. There were supplemental
appropriations in the General Fund totaling $321,215, during the fiscal year ended September 30,
2017 for funding outstanding obligations and unanticipated expenses
f) Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.

Note: Property in the Village is reassessed each year. State law requires the Property Appraiser to appraise property at 100% of market value.
The Florida Constitution was amended, effective January 1, 1995, to limit annual increases in assessed value of property with homestead
exemption to 3 percent per year or the amount of the Consumer Price index, whichever is less. The increase is not automatic since no
assessed value shall exceed market value. Tax rates are per $1,000 of assessed value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 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 and Members of the Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively com prise the Village’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 26, 2018.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village’s financial statements are free from
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 or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
