Annual Comprehensive financial Report
To the Mayor and Members of the Village Council:
In compliance with Florida State Statute Chapter § 11 .45, Chapter § 10.550 of the Rules of the
Auditor General, and Chapter 34(3) of the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances, we are
pleased to submit for your review and consideration the Miami Shores Village Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. 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
-i -
FY2020-21 Financial Report April 28, 2022
-ii-
reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Village for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2021 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, 2021, are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
The contents of the ACFR have been influenced by compliance with GASB pronouncements,
including Statement 34 that requires the preparation of government-wide financial statements on
a full accrual basis of accounting for all funds as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). The MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditors’ report.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
Miami Shores Village, a Florida municipal corporation incorporated in 1932, is located in Northeast
Miami-Dade County. The Village has a year-round population estimated at 10,817 residents living
within the 2.5 square mile jurisdiction. The Village generally begins at Biscayne Bay on the east
and goes west to Northwest Second Avenue. The north and south boundaries are generally 115 th
Street and 91st Street respectively. The Village is a residential-based community with two (2)
commercial districts located on Second Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard. Despite its close
proximity to Downtown Miami, the Village maintains a suburban feel. With limited commercial
presence, the need for new growth through redevelopment will be essential to the Village’s future.
Wealth levels in the Village are above average, with per capita income at $47,236 or 144% of the
state, and median household income at $125,202 or 217% of the state.
Operating under a Council-Manager form of government, the Council consists of five members
elected at large. The Mayor is chosen by each of the newly formed councils. Historically, the
individual receiving the highest number of votes during the election is chosen as the Mayor and
the Vice-Mayor has received the second highest. Both the Mayor and Vice-Mayor serve four (4)
year terms, two as mayor/vice-mayor and two as regular council members. The Village Council
is responsible for the selection and appointment of the Village Manager, Village Clerk and Village
Attorney. The Village Manager is responsible for engaging all department heads and their
subordinates.
Miami Shores Village provides a full range of municipal services including recreation and culture,
public safety through the police, public works and general administrative services for its residents
and businesses. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, no legally separate authorities or
agencies operated under the auspices of the Village; therefore, no additional financial
information will be incorporated into these statements.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
The information presented in the Village’s financial statements primarily focuses on the financial
position at the end of each fiscal year as measured by existing resources and claims against those
resources. To better understand the Village’s financial condition, readers should focus on both
FY2020-21 Financial Report April 28, 2022
-iii-
existing and future resources and potential claims (or liabilities) against those resources. This
broader concept is used to assess the financial condition of the Village, reflecting the current
financial position as well as the prospects that today’s financial condition will improve or
deteriorate. To achieve this objective, the Village uses a wide-range of information including local
economic conditions and outlook; long-term debt management; capital construction and
investments; cash management / investments; and, of course, risk controls.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Property values in the Village are expected to continue to increase. Although substantially built-
out, the Village is experiencing a significant amount of residential renovation and
teardown/rebuild activity. New construction, additions, and rehabilitative improvements
continue with a net new taxable value of $3.9 million reflected in fiscal year 2021. Building Permits
continue to be issued at an all-time high. It is anticipated that property values will continue to
increase due to the desirability of the area and the close proximity to Greater Downtown Miami.
The Village experienced an increase in assessed property values of 6.8% for fiscal year 2020 and
5.1% for fiscal year 2021. It is anticipated that this trend will continue, but at slightly lower increases
in property values.
Management continues to make capital improvements that will maintain and further enhance
the lifestyle of the residents and improve services. During fiscal year 2021, the Village began to
undertake capital projects that had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These capital
projects will continue to provide the high level of services that have become a hallmark of the
community. Management continues to control costs by closely monitoring purchasing procedures
and levels of staffing. Due to these efforts the general fund unassigned fund balance for fiscal
year 2021 is $9.7 million. Included in the $9.7 million of general fund unassigned fund balance is a
pending receivable of $3.4 million awaiting FEMA resolution. This surplus will enable the Village to
continue to provide the same level of services to the residents in the upcoming fiscal years,
address continuing capital improvement requirements, and to fund any Hurricane IRMA expenses
not recovered from FEMA.
The Village maintains a strong financial position with adequate reserve levels, modest tax base
with above average socioeconomic indices, and a manageable debt profile. The stable
financial operations are a result of management’s commitment to conservative budgeting and
controlling costs.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Accounting Control
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed
to ensure that the assets of the Village are protected from loss, theft or misuse, and to ensure that
adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The
internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
FY2020-21 Financial Report April 28, 2022
-iv-
requires estimates and judgments by management.
As a recipient of federal, state and local financial assistance, the government is also responsible
for ensuring that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure and document
compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to these programs. This internal control
structure is subject to periodic evaluation by management. In addition, the Village maintains
extensive budgetary controls. The objective of these controls is to ensure compliance with policy
and implementation procedures embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by
Village Council. The level of budgetary control (i.e. the level at which expenditures cannot legally
exceed the appropriated amount) is the department level within each fund. The Village also
maintains an encumbrance accounting system.
The Village’s accounting system is organized on a fund basis. A fund is defined as an independent
fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. The types of funds used are
generally determined by the Village Council, upon the recommendations of the Village Manager
and the Finance Director, which are based upon established and accepted accounting policies
and procedures as well as the number of funds required.
Budgetary Control
Florida State Statute §200.065 requires that all municipal governments prepare, approve, adopt
and execute an annual budget for such funds as may be required by law or by sound fiscal
practices. In compliance with this Statute as well as other state regulatory items, the Village
adopts an annual operating budget into which funds are either formally appropriated by
resolution or non-appropriated in nature, depending upon the fund (i.e. – general, special
revenue, debt service, enterprise, internal service or trust funds). However, in practice, all funds
that have regularly occurring expenses, receive annual budgets and corresponding
appropriations.
The annual budget serves as a foundation for the financial planning, guidance and control of the
Village. Funds which require legal appropriations cannot exceed their original and amended
budgets. All departments are required to annually submit requests for appropriations to the
Village Manager by mid-May of each year. The Village Manager then uses those requests as the
base from which the annual operating and capital budgets are developed. The budget is
presented to the Village Council following the release of the tentatively assessed property values
in early July of each year. A workshop is held in July during which council members are free to
address department staff with general and specific issues proposed in the budget. Following the
summer workshop, the Council adopts a resolution which sets the tentative millage rates which
are subsequently sent to the County using Florida Form DR420 for inclusion on the Proposed Tax
Bills. Two public hearings are held in September of each year during which members of the public
are offered the opportunity to provide insight and solicit information regarding the operations of
their municipality. After the second public hearing, resolutions presenting the final operating and
debt service millage rates, along with corresponding budgets for the fiscal year, are subsequently
adopted by the Village Council.
The annual budget is adopted at the fund and general fund department level. Line-item transfers
are permitted with the approval of the Finance Director and Village Manager; however, changes
to the bottom line of department or fund totals require council approval and are executed by
resolution. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual
FY2020-21 Financial Report April 28, 2022
-v-
governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. As shown by
the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the Village continues
to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Management maintains financial stability with fiscal management controls by constantly
reviewing and monitoring staff levels, and by comparing budget appropriations to actual
expenditures, and estimated revenues to actual revenues. The Village maintains a level of
revenue sufficient to meet operating expenditures. As the world, the country, the state, the
county and the Village recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Village continues to monitor
the situation along with other factors and events in the world that impact the finances of the
Village. The Village strives to serve our residents and ensure the quality of life style our residents
currently enjoy is maintained. The Village maintains a strong fund balance in order to address
many of these issues.
Although the Village is a highly desirable place to live, management has plans to continue making
improvements to our Community. With the development of a strategic plan, the Village will have
a coherent and cohesive plan as to how the Village should progress in the coming years. The
strategic plan will be completed in FY22 and is the result of the work of the Village and the
community at large. The library’s expansion of the children’s section is to be completed in FY22. A
drainage project in Shores Estates, consisting of a pump station and new piping, is underway using
grant funding from FEMA. A septic to sewer project in Shores Estates using Florida Department of
Environmental Protection grant funds has begun. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, ARPA
funds, that the Village received and will receive are in the planning stages. Sidewalks throughout
the Village as well as studies for stormwater improvements and septic to sewer conversions are
the main thoughts of use of the ARPA funds at this point. Once the studies for stormwater
improvements and septic to sewer conversions are complete, it will enable the Village to
determine which areas to focus on first for the upcoming projects and get them to a “shovel
ready” status.
AWARDS and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded
a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Miami Shores Village for its
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. In order
to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. This report must satisfy both
generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Credit must also be given to the members

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 Miami Shores Village, Florida (the “Village”) as of
and for the year fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, 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 auditors’ 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, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof 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 and budgetary comparison schedules, Pension, and Other Post-Employment Benefits Schedules on
pages 3–14 and 64–77 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.
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 statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards
(the “SEFA”) 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 the SEFA 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 April 28, 2022, 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 solely
to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s 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)
3
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of Miami Shores Village, Florida (“the Village”), we offer the Village’s financial statements
in this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of Miami Shores Village for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2021. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that is furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on
pages i to vi 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 2021
At September 30, 2021, Miami Shores Village assets and deferred outflows exceeded its
liabilities and deferred inflows by $36 million (net position). Of this amount, $21.6 million was
invested in capital assets, an increase of $399 thousand compared with the prior year.
Additionally, $7 million was restricted by law, agreements, and debt covenants or for capital
projects. The Village had an unrestricted net position of $7.4 million at September 30, 2021,
an increase of $1.8 million or a 33% increase as compared with the prior year. The increase
in unrestricted net position was related to cancelled programs, reduced attendance,
unfilled positions, and the re-assignment of budgeted personnel due to the COVID-19
pandemic. The Village was reimbursed through CARES for the re-assigned personnel.
During fiscal year 2021, total net position increased by $4.8 million, from $31.2 million in
FY2020 to $36 million in FY2021. Of this increase, $4.4 million was an increase in governmental
activities and an increase of $330 thousand in business-type activities.
At September 30, 2021, Miami Shores Village’s governmental funds had fund balances
totaling $14.9 million. Of the total fund balance, approximately $8.5 million or 57% was
unassigned and $1.3 million or 8.5% was committed for future capital projects and
encumbrances. The restricted fund balance of approximately $4.1 million, or 28%, is related
to funds restricted by the contributing agency. The nonspendable fund balance of
approximately $19 thousand is related to prepaid items. The assigned fund balance of $931
thousand or 6% is assigned for FY22 capital improvements. The net change in fund balances
during the year was an increase of $3.1 million indicative of the financial stability of the
Village. Much of this change was due to budgeted expenditures amounting to less than
anticipated and the re-assignment of budgeted personnel related to the COVID-19
pandemic which were reimbursed.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2021. The increase in unrestricted net position was related to cancelled
programs, reduced program attendance, unfilled positions, and the re-assignment of
budgeted personnel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 are comprised 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.
4
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 compliance, parks and recreation. The
business-type activities of the Village include Solid Waste, Stormwater, and Water and Wastewater
operations.
The government-wide financial statements may be found on pages 13 to 14 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 eleven (11) 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 two major funds, the police
forfeiture fund and the grant fund. Data from the other eight 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 15 to 18 of this report.
5
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 Solid Waste, Stormwater, and Water &
Wastewater 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 Solid
Waste, Stormwater, and Water & Wastewater operations. The Solid Waste 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 19 to 21 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the Village’s own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements may be found on pages 22 to 23 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 24 to 61 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 62 to 75 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 76 to 86 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
The difference between a government’s assets and deferred outflows and its liabilities and deferred inflows
is its net position. The Village’s net position is summarized on the following page:
Net position may be used to assess the financial position of the Village. The Village’s combined net position
as of September 30, 2021 was $36 million. Approximately 60%, or $21.6 million, of the Village’s net position
represents net investment in capital assets. These assets include land, buildings, machinery and equipment,
and infrastructure and are not available for future spending. Additionally, $7 million is restricted net position
and is subject to external restrictions on how it may be spent.
At September 30, 2021, Miami Shores Village had an unrestricted net position of $7.4 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 for the government as a whole, as well as, the governmental funds and business-type activities.

Governmental activities. Financial activities for the fiscal year are reported on the following page. Key
indicators, including revenues and expenditures by category are presented herein for review:
Ending net position in governmental activities increased $4.4 million or 16% during FY2021. The increase in
ending net position is attributable to departmental savings associated with unfilled positions, conservative
spending and the reimbursement the Village received for the re-assignment of budgeted personnel due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional contributory factors included the cancellation of events, limited
programs and reduced program size.

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 government’s 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 $14.9 million. Of this amount, $8.5 million reflects unassigned fund balance, which
is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is
nonspendable, assigned, committed or restricted to indicate that it is not available for new spending as
those dollars have already been 1) assigned to spend $931 thousand on capital improvements in FY22 from
the budget adopted in FY22, 2)committed to liquidate contracts or encumbered fiscal obligations
(outstanding purchase orders) valued at $1.3 million, 3) restricted for funds limited by the contributing
agency of $4.1 million and 4) nonspendable for funds used to account for amounts which cannot currently
be spent, such as prepaid expenses of $19 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 $9.7 million as compared with $9.3 million in the prior
year.
The Village's General Fund unassigned balance increased by $454 thousand during the 2021 fiscal year. This
can be attributed to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during which the Village was reimbursed for
personnel re-assigned to COVID related activities. As a result of the pandemic, events and programs were
cancelled or reduced during FY21. Unfilled positions and conservative spending also contributed to the
increase in the unassigned fund balance.
The Village has two other major funds, Police Forfeiture and the Grant Fund.

The Police Forfeiture Fund accumulates proceeds 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 $739
thousand will be used for future projects for the Police Department.
The Grant Fund accounts for the use of specific designated resources related to grant programs. The
negative unassigned fund balance of ($1,198,175) is due to the reimbursement amount that is pending
FEMA approval for Hurricane IRMA.
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 in the Solid Waste Fund at the end of the fiscal year totaled $252 thousand.
Unrestricted net position will be used to fund future purchases of capital assets.
Unrestricted net position in the Stormwater Fund at the end of the fiscal year totaled $1.4 million.
Unrestricted net position is maintained to fund future projects.
Unrestricted net position in the Water & Wastewater Fund at the end of the fiscal year was a negative
$95 thousand. It is anticipated that the unrestricted negative net position will be funded by future
assessments.
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.
Over the course of the year, the Village amended the General Fund budget three 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. With these adjustments, disbursements were
approximately $1 million below final budgeted amounts. Savings were realized in general government,
$203 thousand, public safety, $284 thousand, public works, $109 thousand, and culture and recreation, $368
thousand. These savings in general government costs and various departmental costs were due to unfilled
positions, conservative spending and the re-assignment of budgeted personnel that were reassigned and
reimbursed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, savings in the General Fund are due to the
COVID-19 pandemic effecting anticipated events and programs; cancelling them or reducing the size.
The fiscal year 2021 final amended budget was $16.6 million, an increase of .93% over the original General
Fund budget of $16.4 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 5.4%. The final Adopted Budget is
balanced with revenues of $16 million, $400 thousand in operating transfers from the Solid Waste Fund and
the Stormwater Fund, and a $152 thousand appropriation from the General Fund Balance.

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.
Actual taxes levied by the Village in 2021 reflected an increase of $481 thousand, precipitated by an
increase in property values of $61 million or 5.1% in property values as compared with 2020. Based on the
current real estate market within the Village, it is anticipated that the Village will continue to experience an
increase in assessed values due to the Village’s desirability and the close location to Greater Downtown
Miami.
During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $9.7 million, an increase
of $454 thousand compared to the unreserved fund balance in 2020 of $9.3 million. This fund balance of
$9.7 million is contingent upon the $3.4 million accounts receivable attributable to Hurricane IRMA. The
balance of $6.3 million is approximately equal to 4.7 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, personnel benefits and operating will continue to increase given
the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other world events. Fiscal year 2022 budgeted
13
expenditures and transfers are expected to be $17.2 million, or 4.8%, more than the fiscal year 2021 budget
of $16.4 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 reductions
in revenues related to a COVID-19 pandemic resurgence and/or any other world crisis, fund capital
improvements, or be available to defray the outstanding costs associated with hurricanes or other natural
disasters.
General Fund Unrestricted and Unassigned Surplus
For the Fiscal Years ended September 30, 2012-2021
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. Since FY16, the Village has maintained the operating
millage consistently at 7.9 mills. For many years, the Village, just like many cities across the country, has had

the level of service they have come to expect.
Miami Shores Village
Total Village Millage
For the Fiscal Years ended September 30, 2012-2021
Fiscal year 2022 budgeted expenditures and transfers are expected to increase $782 thousand compared
with fiscal year 2021. This increase in expenditures is the result of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions
subsiding, as well as the direct economic impact, resulting from the pandemic, with price increases as the
supply chain issues and shortages occur. Additional contributory factors include the increase in Village staff
budgeted positions and the increase in capital improvements delayed due to the pandemic.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Financial Reporting Entity
Miami Shores Village, Florida, (the Village) was incorporated in 1932 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, solid waste, 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 in the fund financial statements. All
remaining non-major governmental funds are aggregated and reported as other governmental or other proprietary
funds.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
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.
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.
Grant Fund - This fund accounts for the use of specific designated resources related to grant programs.
The Village reports the following major proprietary fund:
Solid Waste Fund - This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the Village’s solid waste system.
Stormwater Fund - This fund accounts for the operations and maintenance of the Village’s stormwater system.
Water & Wastewater 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 & Wastewater Project. Future
maintenance costs for the grind pumps will be paid from this fund.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
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.
The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units in accordance with The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) pronouncements. 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.
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.
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 solid waste, 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
G. Property Taxes (Continued)
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, 2021 was 7.9000 mills ($7.9000 per $1,000 of taxable assessed valuation).
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 acquisition 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
Building and improvements 10-40
Land improvements 40
Infrastructure 30
Solid waste equipment 10
Vehicles 5
Other equipments, machinery, furniture
and fixtures 3-10

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 of $2,381,856 and OPEB amounts of $42,515
that qualify for reporting in this category on the government-wide statement of net position.
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 of $73,023, pension amounts of $325,801, and OPEB
amount of $156,018. That quality for reporting in this category on the government – wide statement of net position.
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 workday 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
21-22 fiscal year.
M. Employee Benefit Plan
The Village provides a separate defined benefit pension plan for its police officers and general employees. At
September 30, 2021, 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 an OPEB liability in its government-wide and proprietary financial statements related
to the implicit subsidy. For governmental funds, the OPEB liability 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 / Fund Balance
Total net position as of September 30, 2021, 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
P. Net Position / Fund Balance (continued)
As of September 30, 2021, 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 resolutions 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. 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.

Q. 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.
R. Capital Contributions
Capital contributions in proprietary fund financial statements arise from grants or outside contributions of resources
restricted to capital acquisition and construction.
S. 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 collectability 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, 2021, 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.

Investments (Continued)
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.
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, 2021, 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.
Investments - Village
As of September 30, 2021, the Village had the following investments:
Investment Type Fair Value
SBA-PRIME 321,644
Total 321,644 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, 2021 is 49 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, 2021, is 64 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, 2021, 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.
Investment in all equity securities shall be limited to those listed on a major U.S stock exchange and limited to no
more than 70% (at market) of the Plan’s total asset value. The equity position in any one company shall not exceed
5% of the Plan’s total asset value at the time of purchase. Investments in stocks of foreign companies shall be
limited to 25% of the Plan’s market value.

Rate of Return
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan
investments, net pension plan investment expense, was 21.63% for the General Employee Retirement Plan and
21.19% for the Police Retirement Plan. The money weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net
of investment manager and consultant expenses adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested. Inputs to
the internal rate of return calculation are determined on a monthly basis.

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.

NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Concentration of Credit Risk
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, 2021, no investment by any one issuer was
above the 5% threshold required for disclosure.
Custodial 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.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Plan may have exposure to foreign currencies by making direct investments in non-U.S. currencies or in
securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies, purchasing or selling forward currency exchange contracts in non-
U.S. currencies, non-U.S. currency futures contracts and swaps for cross currency investments. Foreign currencies
will fluctuate, and may decline, in value relative to the U.S. dollar and other currencies and thereby affect the
Funds’ investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in
derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies.
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:
Debt 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.

NOTE 9 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS - PLANS’ REPORTING (CONTINUED)
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.
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, 2021, there were
7 members in the DROP and their fair value of DROP investment was $450,927 which is included in the Plan’s net
position. At the end of September 30, 2021, 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, 2021.

mandates the use of mortality tables from one of the two most recently published FRS actuarial
valuation reports.
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 2.25%. 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

Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.00% 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 7.00%. 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 (7.00%) 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 7.00%, 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-

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, 2021, there were 3 members in the DROP and their fair value of DROP
investment was $588,597 which is included in the Plan’s net position. At the end of September 30, 2021, 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, 2021.
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 uitlized to provide future minimum extra benefits and may not be used to reduce or
offset the contribution requirements of the employer.

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, 2020 are
summarized in the following table:

Domestic Equity 7.50%
International Equity 8.50%
Domestic Bonds 2.50%
International Bonds 3.50%
Real Estate 4.50%
Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 7.00% 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 7.00%. 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 7.00% was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

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, 2021, there were 3 members in the DROP and their fair value of DROP
investment was $588,597 which is included in the Plan’s net position. At the end of September 30, 2021, 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, 2020.
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 actuarial
valuation as of October 1, 2019 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The contributions consisted of the
following at September 30, 2020:

Net Pension Liability:
The Village's net pension liability was measured as of September 30, 2020 and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by the October 1, 2019 actuarial valuation.
Significant Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2019 and rolled forward to the
measurement date of September 30, 2020, using the following actuarial assumptions:

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.
The amount of settlements for each of the past three fiscal years did not exceed insurance coverage.
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 provides all financial information and
required disclosures of its single employer other post-employment benefit plan in this document; therefore, a
separate audited post-employment benefits plan report is not available.
Membership
As of September 30, 2019 (the date of the latest actuarial valuations) health care and dental plan participants
consisted of:
Active participants 96
Retired participants 6
Total participants 102 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.

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, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
the Village’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 28, 2022.
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) as a basis for designing 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 financial statements. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR THE MAJOR PROGRAM
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program
We have audited the Miami Shores Village, Florida’s (the “Village”) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the Village’s
major federal program for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Village’s major federal program are identified in
the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal
awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the Village’s major federal program based on our audit of
the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform
Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major
federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Village’s compliance with
those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for the major federal program.
However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Village’s compliance.
Opinion on the Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Village, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on the major federal program for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2021.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we
considered the Village’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and

circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for the major federal program and to test and
report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of

Report on Internal Control over Compliance (Continued)
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does
not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect
and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material
weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness
in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly,
this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE PURSUANT TO
SECTION 218.415 FLORIDA STATUTES
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
Miami Shores Village, Florida
We have examined the Miami Shores Village’s (the Village) compliance with the requirements of Section 218.415
Florida Statutes during the period of October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Management of the Village is responsible
for the Village's compliance with the specified requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Village's
compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Village complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced
above. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether the Village complied with the
specified requirements. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including
an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Village’s compliance with specified requirements. In our
opinion, the Village complied, in all material respects, with the requirements of Section 218.415 Florida Statutes during
the period of October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Mayor, the Village Council, others within
the Village and the Auditor General of the State of Florida and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
