Manager's Budget Message
To: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Chuck Huff, Interim Village Manager
Date: October 1, 2022
Subject: Fiscal Year 2022/23 Annual Budget
I am pleased to share with you this Fiscal Year 2022/23 Annual Budget for the Village of North Palm Beach
which provides a plan to enhance Village services during the coming scal year. Departments have prepared
an ambitious list of village projects and activities that support the goals and objectives established by the
Village Council earlier this year.
Budget Format
To provide the public with information about the nancial plan for the scal year, the Village has created a
user-friendly budget document that provides detailed and meaningful information for many different users.
Speci c managerial and operational responsibilities have been assigned to each Village Department and
staff have been allocated to ensure all functions associated with the individual Departments are performed
in a timely and ef cient manner. Within the budget document, organizational charts are presented
depicting each department’s organizational and supervisory structure. In addition, each Department
provided a detailed report featuring individual goals, operational services, program improvements, and
staf ng as well as capital project expenditures.
It is the intent of the Village to maintain an open exchange of municipal information with all stakeholders
regarding how public nancial resources are received and expended. To that end, this budget document, as
well as a summary, will be posted on the Village website (www.village-npb.org (http://www.village-npb.org/)).
Budget Goals and Objectives
The Village obtains a major portion of its annual general fund nancial resources (66.74%) from ad valorem
property taxes. The Village’s gross taxable property values have increased this year to $2,965,412,110 or nearly
13.04%, over last year’s valuation. However, because of a reduction in the millage rate, ad valorem taxes will
only increase 11.95%, or $2,104,414, to a total of $19,719,991.
For Fiscal Year 2022, the Village implemented a Stormwater Fee and a three-tier structure for single-family
homes. The stormwater fee will allow the Village to not only address the collective impact of non-point
source pollution caused by stormwater runoff, but make immediate repairs to sections of the Village’s
existing stormwater system that are deteriorating to the point that sinkholes are being formed in our streets
and on private property. The Village will be working on a Stormwater Master Plan to identify strategies and
projects that can be used to manage the volume and quality of stormwater as well as address the impact of
sea level rise on the community.
The nancial plan for FY 2022/23 re ects the community’s desire for enhanced services and proper
maintenance of infrastructure. While the budget allocates resources to improve the Village’s ability to
address service and maintenance demands annually, there are also signi cant capital investments to be
made that will be unique to this scal year. Improvement of the dry storage area in Anchorage Park and
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 9
providing funding to Palm Beach County to incorporate aesthetic features and pedestrian amenities into
their design of the Prosperity Farms Road Bridge Replacement Project (which will begin in 2023) are unique
investments for the upcoming year.
The FY 2022/23 budget was developed collaboratively with assistance from the Village’s Management Team,
departmental supervisors and staff. This process allows staff to consider current practices and procedures
while identifying opportunities for new and improved services, programs, and projects that support the
Village Council’s goals and objectives. The nancial plan supports the Council’s strategic themes and
objectives:
People and Organizational Performance
Through this goal, the Village seeks to ensure that Village services are responsive to the
community’s needs and are equitably and ef ciently delivered. This will be done, in part, by
recruiting and retaining quali ed staff. This goal is also intended to emphasize nancial
sustainability and scal responsibility through a diversi ed revenue stream and ef cient
management of resources.
This year ’s scal plan includes a three-tier stormwater assessment fee for single-family home
properties. The assessments received from the fee will be directed to planning, maintenance
efforts and capital projects associated with managing the volume and quality of stormwater in
the Village.
The Department of Public Works continues to re ne its operations by adding new software and
ef ciencies in order to deliver the services the community desires. These new initiatives have
yielded results in service deliverables.
The Department of Leisure Services utilizes a Superintendent of Parks position that focuses on
parks and facilities maintenance and capital projects. This allows the Director of Leisure Services
– which oversees Parks & Recreation and Library Services – to focus on programming and
events.
The Department of Community Development continues to improve ef ciencies by
implementing new software allowing for online permitting, Code compliance and licensing.
Community Development continues to seek annexation of adjacent unincorporated areas and
implementation of the Citizens’ Master Plan Report (adopted in October, 2016), which will
encourage mixed-use development along the Village’s commercial corridors, will assist the
Village in achieving this strategic goal as well.
Functions at the Country Club continue to be reviewed to ensure that revenue is generated to
nance debt, cover operating and maintenance costs and begin funding future improvements.
The second contribution to a Renewal & Replacement (R&R) Fund, which will be used to nance
the repair and replacement of capital assets at the clubhouse, will be made this scal year.
Additionally, because of continued operational changes at the tennis center and the pool, it is
anticipated that the nancial obligations of the General Fund to those functions will be reduced
even though they will continue to be accessible to all Village residents.
Community members can bring an extraordinary degree of knowledge and technical expertise
to address many of the opportunities presented to the Village. The Village will work to encourage
resident participation on Village Boards and in public meetings, programs and events and
enhance their exchange of information with the Village Council. The organization will be
working to address opportunities for process improvement and use the technical expertise of
consultants to supplement Village staff. With the desire to engage the community in addressing
challenges facing the Village, the Council will be challenging members of the Advisory Boards to
identify issues that could be addressed to improve residents’ quality of life.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 10
To create ef ciencies and ensure that the Village obtains the expertise it needs to implement
projects, the Village Council has asked Village staff to identify opportunities to engage
consultants to supplement staff, including the use of landscape architects, architects, traf c
engineers and planners.
Quality of Life
To support one of the suggestions to improve and stabilize neighborhoods in the Citizens’
Master Plan Report, the Village Council established the Environmental Committee. The
Environmental Committee works with staff and neighborhood participants to identify necessary
improvements and is responsible for developing and implementing programs to address them.
The Committee tackled a series of initiatives in its initial year of existence but will take the lead in
guiding the Village Council’s strategic initiative to develop a Green/Environmental Sustainability
Policy.
A greater focus on recreation programming, an increase in maintenance and capital investment
in existing infrastructure, pedestrian improvements to the Earman River bridges and plans to
improve Lighthouse Drive and continued development of the Master Utilities Plan for
underground overhead utilities are all examples of initiatives taking place this year to address
Quality of Life issues.
All Neighborhoods as Safe and Desirable Places to Live
A strong emphasis on code compliance is a key to achieving this goal. The Citizens’ Master Plan
Report highlighted this point by pointing to “stressed” neighborhoods and identifying a lack of
landscape and home maintenance, faded exterior paint, broken shutters and overgrown lawns
as indicators. To address those issues, the Village has continued to fund a third Code Compliance
Of cer and will begin to adjust staff's schedules to provide coverage on weekends. Code will also
work with the Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) to collaborate with residents in
addressing quality of life issues in their neighborhoods. The Village has also added two (2) part-
time Park Ranger positions to assist with residents' needs on the weekends.
Another strategy identi ed in the Citizens’ Master Plan Report was the need to establish in ll
regulations that ensure compatibility in the neighborhood. Residents that participated in the
Citizens’ Master Plan Report charrette process voiced concerns about the character of new
housing in established neighborhoods – speci cally the mass of houses being constructed in
single-family neighborhoods. There were other issues, such as the desire to allow for “granny
ats” in the Village, that were identi ed during the charrette process as well. To address these
and similar issues, the Village will initiate a review of its land development regulations related to
residential neighborhoods. The process will begin with the selection of a consulting rm to assist
in the community engagement process, which will include a series of public meetings, as well as
the identi cation of potential changes to the code for review by the Village Council.
Community Engagement
The Village Council strives to build trust and relationships that inspire citizens to become
involved in the community through effective communication. To that end, the Village is seeking
to continually improve communication with residents and businesses. For example, the
Communications Manager initiated a weekly e-newsletter to keep residents apprised of
upcoming meetings, policy issues to be discussed by the Village Council, upcoming construction
projects and events. The Village also implemented a new sound and video web streaming
system in Village Hall Council Chambers that promotes their desire to “actively engage and
listen” to residents’ input.
Economic Vitality
The Village Council is working to encourage commercial services and retail offerings that
complement our community’s requirements and expectations. The Citizens’ Master Plan Report
served as the springboard for the effort to draft and adopt new regulations that will breathe life
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 11
in our commercial districts, create a more sustainable nancial future for the community and
enhance the small-town living that makes North Palm Beach a special place to live.
The new commercial code has resulted in signi cant interest in the Village from developers.
Village staff anticipates the consideration of at least one signi cant development application on
US1 in the upcoming year. Projects will be reviewed to ensure that they meet the objectives of
the Master Plan, the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development regulations.
As part of this effort, the Village’s Business Advisory Board will be working to engage existing
businesses to determine their needs in order to assist in the revitalization of our commercial
corridors.
Community Cul ture and Character
Preserving and honoring the small-village character, culture and charm of North Palm Beach is a
signi cant consideration of the Village Council in all of its policy decisions. The preservation of
the traditional boat and RV storage at Anchorage Park, the effort to manage the bulk and mass
of new homes to be consistent with the overall character of the Village and the focus on small
events as a means to bring residents together are examples of the Council’s emphasis on
community culture and character.
Budget Highlights:
The nancial plan for the upcoming scal year represents an aggressive approach to adequately maintain
infrastructure and staf ng in order to continue the delivery of quality services to the community.
The Village’s operating millage rate will decrease from $7.0500 mils to 7.0000 mils. The Village has no
outstanding general obligation bond debt; therefore, the combined total millage rate of the Village will equal
$7.0000 mils.
Capital budget needs over the next ve (5) years are addressed in a balanced Capital Improvement Plan. The
FY 2023 budget provides for funding the Capital Improvement Plan needs without the need to transfer
funds from the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance (General Fund Reserves); however, Village staff may
recommend the use of a portion of the fund balance during the course of the year to invest in needed
capital improvements.
The Public Works Department has oversight of village solid waste, infrastructure, streets, facilities,
equipment, and roadways. The departmental structure continues to evolve, including the creation of a
culture that emphasizes collaboration and strategic thinking. This Department continues to play a major
role in maintaining and expanding the focus on community appearance. With the use of revenue from the
voter-approved 1 cent infrastructure surtax, the Village will continue resurfacing roadways, replacing
damaged sidewalks, develop designs and begin the multi-phased project of replacing the alley wall east of
US1 as well as developing designs for pedestrian amenities and architectural features on the US1 and
Prosperity Farms Road bridges. Public Works continues its efforts to develop master plans for stormwater
infrastructure and undergrounding overhead utilities.
The Village's Leisure Services, which are comprised of the Department of Parks & Recreation and the Library,
continue to improve our ability to provide the recreational and events programming desired by the
community. Additionally, the Parks Superintendent will be responsible for the maintenance of, as well as the
planning and implementation of capital projects, for the Village's parks and recreational facilities.
The Police Department has continued to make improvements in neighborhood outreach, crime suppression
and crime clearances. With its two Neighborhood Of cers, the Police Department is integral in the success
of the interdepartmental “Neighborhood Enhancement Team” that focuses on quality of life issues within all
of the Village’s neighborhoods. Other disciplines within this team – including Fire Rescue, Planning, Code
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 12
Compliance, Recreation and Building – will work collaboratively to tackle neighborhood issues that require
creativity and persistence. Additionally, two new police of cer positions have been added to this year’s
budget to better address crime prevention activities.
This will be the new Clubhouse’s third full scal year in operation. Even though the rst couple of years were
particularly challenging given the operation of a new facility in the midst of a global pandemic, the
Clubhouse's leadership team realized a successful nancial outcome and anticipate even better results in the
upcoming year. The Clubhouse and pool facilities provide an enhanced experience for North Palm Beach
Country Club members and visitors alike by adding new cabanas on the pool deck. The staff continues to
improve the tennis facility, which has added a professional team of staff and many new members. The
facility boasts an improved dining experience for anyone visiting the Country Club courtesy of Farmer ’s
Table, Public House and a snack shack for those wanting food or drinks poolside at our Jack Nicklaus
Signature Golf Course. With the Council’s guidance, the staff is proud to be a part of the Country Club’s
history as it will provide residents with a quality experience each time they visit while generating needed
revenues that will ultimately cover operating and needed capital expenditures.
Some nancial details associated with the completed Country Club projects include:
The repayment schedule on the $15 million loan to reconstruct the clubhouse began in FY 2017/18. At
this time, and until the Village develops a better understanding of the new Clubhouse’s operations, the
General Fund will be temporarily servicing the debt on its own.
The $1.7 million golf course renovation project will be funded by a loan from the General Fund to the
Country Club. In accordance with Village Council policy direction, this loan will be repaid at an annual
interest rate of 2.09%.
Personnel Staf ng and Bene ts
The preparation of this portion of the budget is challenging based on continuing increases in the cost of
employee compensation and bene ts. For budget purposes, retirement contribution levels for the General
Employee “De ned Bene t” Retirement Plan are estimated at 15% in the coming year and employee
contributions remain at 6%. The Village’s required contribution for the “De ned Contribution” plan, available
through Mission Square Retirement, is xed at 15% with a required 3%, 5%, 10% or 15% contribution by the
participating employee.
Police and Fire pension matters are subject to the Village’s collective bargaining negotiations. For budget
purposes, retirement rates for Police and Fire employees are estimated at 12% in the coming year and
employee contributions are as follows: Fire (7.5%) and Police (8.5%).
The actual gures will be based on asset returns and actuarial experience.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding
As part of the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Rescue Plan Act provides more
than $130 billion in direct, exible aid to local governments. This in ux of dollars provides a unique
opportunity for local governments to address nancial issues resulting from the pandemic and strategically
invest in the future. The Village has received $6.5 million in federal funding and, in accordance with the
program's funding objectives, has prioritized the need to invest in water quality infrastructure and direct
assistance to Village residents who were negatively affected nancially by the pandemic. Water quality
infrastructure will focus on stormwater system improvements as well as the conversion of household septic
to sanitary sewer systems. Community outreach will assist the Village Council in identifying residents' needs
to develop a funding strategy that meets the objectives of the American Rescue Plan Act.

Total Property Tax Rate
Your property tax bill is based on the assessed value of your property, any exemptions you qualify for and the property tax rate. It is
important to note that your property tax bill contains more than just your Village taxes. You also pay property taxes to the county for
county-wide services, school board, county library and debt service for these entities. Even when the Village’s tax rate remains
constant or is reduced, you may pay more taxes if your property value increases or other taxing authorities raise their rates.

Location
The Village of North Palm Beach is located on the sunny east coast of Florida, 9 miles north of West Palm
Beach in Palm Beach County.
The land area of the Village is approximately 5.8 square miles. The Village has an abundant amount of
waterfront property created by a number of lakes, canals, and the Atlantic Ocean. With such assets as warm
weather, sunshine, golf, ocean shing, boating, sandy beaches and balmy breezes, the Village has much to offer
enthusiastic people who are raising families or are looking to retire.

Village History
1892
Albert Sawyer was given a warranty deed by the State of Florida with the stipulation that he improve, cultivate, or sell the land
before 1907. This land included Lake Park and North Palm Beach. Sawyer died in 1903 and willed the trust to his son, Albert.
The 1907 deadline was extended to 1927.
1919
Albert Sawyer, Jr. sold the deed to Barton Peck in 1915 for $1140. Peck sold the deed to Harry & Mabel Kelsey for $100,000.
Kelsey moved to Silver Beach and bought 14 miles of oceanfront and 11 miles of lakefront property between Miami & Jupiter,
including 100,000 acres which later became Kelsey City/Lake Park and North Palm Beach. He purchased the Florida East Coast
Canal, which is part of the Intracoastal Waterway, and operated it as a toll waterway with a toll chain across the Intracoastal to
stop boats and collect a fee. Dredging became costly, so Kelsey sold the waterway to the state.
1926 Kelsey, with the help of Paris Singer (Singer Island is named after him), built an 18 hole golf course and Winter Golf Clubhouse
(“The Winter Club”) on the land where the North Palm Beach Country Club sits now.
1928
A hurricane with 130 mph winds caused Lake Okeechobee to over ow its banks and drown 3000 residents who lived near the
lake. The hurricane wrenched the concrete Earman River bridge from its mooring, demolished all but a few of the 100 Lake
Park homes, uprooted and leveled Kelsey’s 3 timber mills, and the entire Park Avenue shopping district, and ruined the vital
credit rating of this once thriving town. Many of the pioneer families who had purchased homes in Kelsey City ed North,
abandoning their demolished homes, defaulting on their mortgage payments and causing the Kelsey City Bank to fail. In
Florida, if property taxes went unpaid for 2 years, the state took title to that land. The unpaid taxes totaled $300 per lot and
went up for sale. Kelsey, very disillusioned that his carefully planned town was in ruins, abandoned his rst original home on
the southwest corner of U.S. Highway One and Park Avenue and left Kelsey City.
1929-1930
Sir Harry Oakes purchased the Winter Club and all the NPB land from Kelsey. Oakes added a south wing to the Winter Club.
Oakes opened the golf course to winter visitors but closed it shortly after the stock market crash of 1929-30. Oakes moved his
family to Nassau and spent considerable time in London.
1926-1955
In the period of time from 1926 when Kelsey built the Winter Club and 1955, the land consisted of 7 square miles of sugar sand
and scrub palmetto and fewer than 100 individuals living between Lake Park & Jupiter. The Tesdem Company, formed by Harry
Oakes’ Estate, held trusts of over 1000 lots in Lake Park and all the land in North Palm Beach including both sides of U.S.
Highway One.
1951
Harry Oakes’ widow sold the land to Ralph Stolkin, who used it as collateral for a loan from John D. Macarthur. When Stolkin
defaulted, MacArthur became sole owner of North Palm Beach and Lake Park. However, MacArthur was more interested in
developing Palm Beach Gardens.
1955 Charles Cunningham, Vice President of MacArthur’s Bankers Land offered the North Palm Beach properties for sale to Richard
and Herbert Ross, who purchased the land for $5 million.
1956
Before North Palm Beach was incorporated, the Ross brothers had these services in place: a utilities general manager; a
Village Hall; a Village Council consisting of pioneer rst council members: our rst Mayor Charles Cunningham, Richard Ross,
Jay White; John Schwencke, and John D. MacArthur; a Fire and Police Chief, a Village Manager, Anchorage Park Marina and
ramp, 75 miles of sewer pipes, a bulkhead, and dredged 20 canals and 3 lakes.
08/13/1956
Together with Seward Mott Associates of Washington, D.C., a master plan was drawn, and the Legislature of the State of
Florida enacted Chapter 31481, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1956 Extraordinary Session, which established and created a
municipality to be known as the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida.
1957
The rst business to be issued an occupancy permit was the Pantry Pride / Food Fair at 101 U.S. Highway One. The rst three
permits for occupancy were issued to: 402 S. Anchorage Dr., 406 S. Anchorage Dr. & 410 S. Anchorage Dr.
1958
The developers donated ten acres of land to the school board and North Palm Beach Elementary opened for classes. The
National Association of Home Builders out of Chicago, chose NPB as an award winning community. This was the rst time a
Florida town had won! The criteria used included excellence in landscaping, planning, schools, recreation, zoning, shopping,
variety of home styles and public services in place. The layout for our village had superior planning, and credit for this award-
winning plan goes to Richard & Herbert Ross.
1961
The Village purchased 145 acres around the North Palm Beach Country Club for $1,250,000 by issuing general obligation
bonds. Voters approved spending $400,000 to build a new clubhouse and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. These
improvements opened in 1963 and the bond was paid off in 1988.
1969
North Palm Beach Library, 303 S. Anchorage Dr., was dedicated. Construction began on Old Port Cove, a condominium
complex with over 1,000 units.
1971
Twin City Mall opened at the southwest corner of Northlake Boulevard and U.S. Highway One as Palm Beach County’s second
enclosed shopping mall. This mall was built onto the previous grocery store/strip mall completed in 1959. The Mall was
demolished in the mid-1990s and has gradually been replaced by a mid-sized strip mall anchored by Publix.
1973
The University of North Carolina chose North Palm Beach as an example of “one of the few well planned communities its size
in the U.S.A.”

Village History
1980
1.5 miles of oceanfront land, which lay within North Palm Beach corporate limits, was sold by the MacArthur Foundation to
Palm Beach County for $23 million. It was established as John D. MacArthur Beach State Park in 1989, the only state park in
Palm Beach County.
George Delacorte donated $600,000 toward building our second Community Center. The NPB Community Center on
Prosperity Farms Road was built with the stipulation that no fee is ever charged for use of the building.

and no commercial buildings over 4 stories tall near the road on U.S. Highway One or Northlake Blvd.

Budget Timeline
The budget process incorporates the development, implementation and evaluation of a plan for the
provision of services and capital assets. The budget is to serve as a management and control tool by
measuring current performance against budget standards, focusing attention on future operations and
plans and improving communication of goals, objectives and plans.
The Village’s budget process relies on a timetable of tasks and the planning of steps and meetings that must
be maintained in order to comply with state requirements for Truth in Millage (TRIM) as well as internal
requirements for sound planning and scal responsibility. The budget process begins with setting a calendar
of tasks for the coming months that meets all requirements and is approved by the Village Council. Below is

Budget Process
Through the budget process, an annual budget is developed that integrates priorities and short and long-term
goals as established by the Council in order to meet the needs and goals of the Village and establish annual
resource allocations. These resource decisions address the desired quality of service; staf ng levels; technology
needs, equipment and capital improvements; and programs considered to be priorities by the Village Council.
The Village’s scal year starts on October 1 and runs through September 30.
The Village’s Budget Process can be divided into ve phases:
Policy & Strategy Phase
Assessment Phase
Development Phase
Review Phase
Adoption Phase
Each phase is described below:
Policy & Strategy Phase
Setting priorities for the Village is one of the most important responsibilities of Village Council and these goals
and directives set the tone for the development of the budget. In this phase, the Village Council and staff have
the opportunity to reassess the goals and objectives within the strategic framework in order to provide
direction for the resource allocation and budgetary decision-making process.
Annually, the service priorities and objectives for each scal year are evaluated and the long-term nancial
plan is monitored and updated in order to set direction for the development of the budget that is properly
aligned with the broad goals and strategic directives. This includes an assessment of services, capital needs,
issues and challenges, opportunities, as well as a review of economic trends and nancial forecasts.
Assessment Phase
As part of the budget process, departments evaluate performance towards meeting current and past goals
and objectives and assess current conditions, programs and needs. Various nancial analyses, as well as
productivity and staf ng analyses, are performed. Programs and services are also reviewed thoroughly to
assess their value and the subsequent priority of the residents of the Village. These internal analyses are
necessary to determine service needs and delivery improvements, cost savings and opportunities, and
required staf ng levels.
Development Phase
Each department’s budget package includes forms and instructions to aid in the preparation of their budget
requests. The forms contain two prior years’ actual data, the current year's estimated actual, current year's
budget, and requested amount for the coming year. The departments describe the expenditures on the line
item justi cation form which follows the departmental breakdown of the line items. In addition to requesting
dollars, the departments must submit departmental objectives that provide a strategy linked to the Village’s
overall goals and policy agenda. The departments must also provide current year's achievements and
organization charts that identify changes from the previous year. The above mentioned items are included in
both the proposed and nal budget documents.
In a separate package, the departments submit requests for necessary capital outlay and capital
improvement projects. Each department submits requests in order of priority. These include cost and
description, as well as justi cation for the need. Capital Improvement Projects are forecast in the 5-year
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document. This allows the need to be known in advance. The
department must re-submit and re-justify the need for the project during each subsequent budget process.
The projects include cost and description.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 40
Review Phase
The Village Manager and Finance Director review the departmental requests, meet with the departments,
verify that the department's objectives and measures are in synch with Council goals, and fund what is
deemed necessary.
Public Adoption Phase
In July, the Village Manager presents a proposed budget for the scal year commencing October 1 to the
Village Council for consideration and further input. This proposal includes all proposed operating and capital
expenditures and the means of nancing it. The council reviews the budget and conducts budget workshops
to provide an opportunity for village management and departments to offer additional information. Changes
are made to the budget as per the Council’s instructions. The proposed budget is then revised incorporating
these changes.
The budget is adopted in compliance with requirements found in the Village’s Charter as well as with the
State Statute known as TRIM (truth in millage). The law includes strict requirements and a timetable guide for
noticing budget hearings and ensuring residents have an opportunity to be heard before nal action takes
place.
TRIM Compliance
The Florida Department of Revenue sets a schedule for local governments to follow in adopting tax roll
information in accordance with the county property appraiser of ces. Accordingly, there are two public
hearings scheduled to openly discuss the budget, millage rate and reason for any tax increase.
By July 1 each year, the Property Appraiser certi es the tax rolls for the Village on form DR-420. This roll
is used in formulating the proposed millage rate for the coming year. Thereafter, the following timetable
must be adhered to:
Within 35 days, the Village Manager must have submitted the proposed budget to the Council and
delivered the DR-420 and DR-420 MM-P to the Property Appraiser (August 5 ).
Between 65-80 days from the date of certi cation, the Village must hold a tentative budget and
millage hearing. This hearing cannot be held sooner than (10) days following the mailing of notices by
the Property Appraiser (August 24 ).
Within fteen (15) days of the tentative budget and millage hearing, the Village must advertise a nal
hearing on the budget.
Not less than two (2) or more than ve (5) days after the advertisement, a nal hearing adopting the
budget and millage is held.
Upon completion of the public hearings and prior to October 1 , a nal operating budget is legally
enacted through the passage of an ordinance.
Within three (3) days after adoption, the Village must certify the adopted millage to the Property
Appraiser and Tax Collector.
Within three (3) days after receipt of nal value, as discussed below, the Finance Director completes
form DR-422 and returns it to the Property Appraiser.
Within thirty (30) days of nal millage and budget adoption, the Village must certify compliance with
Section 2000.065 and 200.068, F.S., to the Department of Revenue.
Implementing, Monitoring & Amendment Phase-Budgetary Control
The budget process doesn’t end with the adoption of the budget. Instead, it is a continuous ongoing cycle
that includes budget development, public review, of cial adoption, implementation and auditing.
Upon the nal adoption of the budget, staff implements the new scal year budget and begins the process of
continuous monitoring and ensuring budgetary control throughout the scal year. The objective of budgetary
controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget approved by the
Village Council.
The Village maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary
control. All expenditures, other than personal services, are controlled by a procurement system which
encumbers purchase orders against the budget prior to issuance to vendors. All appropriations lapse at the
st
th
th
st
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 41
year's end. However, encumbrances speci cally designated to be carried over to the subsequent year are re-
appropriated in the following year.
Reports are generated monthly to keep Department Directors informed and to monitor revenues and
expenditures in order to achieve effective control over their departmental budgets. Department Directors are
accountable for over/under expenditures.
During ongoing monitoring, staff may note that corrective action is needed to help accomplish planned or
needed programs and activities and request budget amendments. The level of budgetary control (that is, the
level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the fund level.
Changes or amendments to the budgeted amounts at the fund level must be approved by the Village
Council. All budget amendments, once approved, are processed by the Finance Department.

Fund Structure
Fund Accounting
The accounts and the budget of the Village are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups.
To better understand the budget, a basic understanding of this nancial structure is required.
Funds:
A fund is an independent scal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting
segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating
compliance with nance-related legal and contractual provisions.
Major Funds
Each fund is classi ed as “major” or “non-major”. Major funds have revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets, or
liabilities (excluding extraordinary items) that are at least 10% of the corresponding totals for all governmental
or enterprise funds and at least 5% of the aggregate amount for all government and enterprise funds for the
same item. The Village has four major funds: General Fund; Capital Projects Fund; Infrastructure Surtax Fund
and the Country Club Fund.
Budgetary Funds
The Village has three budgetary funds: the General Fund, the Country Club Fund and the Stormwater Utility
Fund. The other funds are not considered budgetary funds because they either involve multi-year projects or
are funds held in trust for someone else; they are used only for nancial reporting purposes.
For reporting purposes, the funds are classi ed into three basic fund types; governmental, proprietary and duciary
funds. The purpose of the Village’s funds is described in the following paragraphs.
Governmental Fund Types:
Governmental funds are those through which general governmental functions of the Village are nanced.
The acquisition, use, and balance of the Village’s expendable nancial resources and the related liabilities
(except those accounted for in Proprietary Funds) are accounted for through Governmental Funds. The
following are the Village’s Governmental Fund types:
General Fund – The General Fund is the main operating fund of the Village. This fund is used to account
for all nancial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. All general property
taxes, nes, various permits, property rentals and certain intergovernmental revenues are recorded in this
fund. General operating expenditures, xed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid
through other funds are paid from the General Fund. There can only be one General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds – Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of speci c revenue sources
that are legally restricted to expenditures for speci ed purposes.
Capital Projects Funds – Capital Projects Funds account for nancial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities or improvements (other than those nanced by
proprietary funds) being nanced from general long-term debt, grants, or transfers from other funds.
In the Governmental Fund Type category, the Village adopts an annual operating budget and
appropriates funds for the General Fund only. The Capital Projects Fund and the Special Revenue Funds
involve multi-year projects, so annual budgets are not adopted for these funds. Instead, appropriations of
these funds remain open and carry over to succeeding years until planned expenditures are made, or until
they are amended or cancelled.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 44
Proprietary Fund Types:
Proprietary funds account for the delivery of services like those found in the private sector. The services can
be provided to outside parties for a pro t, or internally to other departments for payment based on cost.
There are two types of proprietary funds: enterprise and internal service. Both are described below:
Enterprise Funds – Enterprise Funds report any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for
goods or services. These funds mirror a private business. The Village has two enterprise funds:
Country Club – The Country Club accounts for the following operations: Country Club
Administration, Clubhouse Grounds, Golf, Tennis, Pool and Food & Beverage.
Stormwater Utility – The Stormwater Utility Fund accounts for the operations of the Village’s
stormwater management system. These functions include, but are not limited to, maintenance,
planning, design, construction, regulation, surveying, and inspection as they relate to stormwater
management facilities of the Village.
Internal Service Funds – Internal Service Funds are used to account for operations that are operated
as a private business but the primary customers are internal departments. The Village does not
have any internal service funds.
In the Proprietary Fund Type category, the Village adopts an operating budget for its Enterprise Funds
at the same time as it adopts the General Fund Budget.
Fiduciary Fund Types:
Fiduciary Fund types are used to account for assets held by the Village in a trustee capacity or as an agent for
individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other funds. The funds in this category are the
Village’s Pension Trust Funds and Agency Funds. Annual budgets are not prepared for these fund types.
Trust Funds – To account for assets held by the Village in a trustee capacity. The pension trust funds are
accounted for in essentially the same manner as proprietary funds since capital maintenance is critical.
Agency Funds – To account for assets held by the Village. The Village retains no equity interest in these
funds.
Account Groups:
Account groups are a reporting requirement to account for certain assets and liabilities of governmental funds not
recorded directly in those funds. Account groups are not funds since they don’t re ect available nancial
resources and related liabilities. Instead, they are used to establishing accounting control and accountability for
the Village’s general xed assets and general long-term debt. The following is a description of the account groups of
the Village:
General Fixed Assets - To account for all xed assets of the Village, except xed assets of Proprietary Funds.
General Long-Term Debt – To account for all the outstanding principal balances of any general and special
obligation bonds or notes, capitalized leases, installment purchases, and compensated absences of the Village,
except long-term obligations of Proprietary Funds.

Basis of Budgeting
Budgetary Basis
The basis of budgeting refers to the period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the funds and
reported on the nancial statements. The only three funds for which operating budgets are prepared are the
General Fund (Governmental Fund), the Country Club Fund (Proprietary/Enterprise Fund) and the Stormwater
Utility Fund (Proprietary/Enterprise Fund).
The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with the
following exceptions:
Depreciation expense is not budgeted
Expenditures for principal payments on outstanding debt are budgeted as expenses.
Capital outlay purchases are budgeted as expenses.
Compensated absences are not included in the budget.
The GAAP basis of accounting for governmental funds is the modi ed accrual basis of accounting. Brie y, this
means that revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available. Measurable means that the
dollar value of the revenue is known. Available means that it is collectible within the current period, or soon
enough after the end of the current period to pay off liabilities of the current period.
Signi cant revenues that are considered to be measurable and available under the modi ed accrual basis of
accounting are property taxes, utility taxes, franchise fees, intergovernmental revenues and charges for services
received within approximately 60 days of the end of the scal year. Expenditures are recorded when a related
fund liability is incurred; however, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
For nancial statement purposes, Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the full accrual basis of
accounting. Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. For
budgetary purposes, these funds are presented on a cash basis, i.e. depreciation and amortization are not
budgeted, while capital purchases and debt service payments are.
The Village maintains budgetary controls at the fund level through the encumbrance of estimated purchase
amounts. All appropriations lapse at year-end. However, encumbrances speci cally designated to be carried
over to the subsequent year are reported as assigned fund balance on the balance sheets as of September 30
and re-appropriated in the following year.
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents the status of the Village’s nances on a GAAP basis. In
order to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results with the budget, the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report presents the Village’s operations on a GAAP basis and also shows fund expenditures and
revenues on a budget basis for the General and Proprietary funds.
th
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 47

BUDGET OVERVIEW

Strategic Plan
In 2019, the Village embarked on a multi-year Strategic Planning process with each subsequent year representing a cycle of
improvement. The strategic planning process is the framework by which the Village develops coordinated strategic projects
that ensure available resources are invested, aligned, and advance the Village’s goals and objectives. With proper funding and
through the deployment of the plan, strategic projects are pursued, tracked, and ultimately measured for success.
2019
Year 1, 2019, presented opportunities for the Council, Management, and Staff to review the long list of projects and begin
prioritization and alignment to the existing vision and Mission. This set into motion a means to communicate and demonstrate
a commitment to the vision and values, set a focus for customer and workforce engagement and create an emphasis on action
to achieve the mission.
2020
In 2020, the Council and staff added a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis to the prioritization
and alignment of existing projects. A SWOT Analysis focuses on the key internal and external factors that may affect the Village.
It’s a way of looking at key in uences so that you can leverage them to your advantage (Strengths and Opportunities) or
mitigate their risks (Weaknesses and Threats).
2021
This year, the Council reviewed the Vision, Mission, and Objectives with the intent of clarifying and better articulating
expectations for the future state of the Village and the priorities for achieving the Vision. This, in turn, communicates direction
for staff and the desired alignment of proposed projects, initiatives, and services to the community.
Vision
A community’s vision is its desired future state. It describes what the community will look, feel, and be like to live in at a future
date. Typically, a vision is set for 10 – 20 years in the future. In looking to the future for the Village, Council was asked to imagine
what North Palm Beach will be like for their children and grandchildren in the future. Each was asked to consider:
What will the Village look like in 10 years? What are your hopes and dreams for the community?
What problem(s) are we solving?
What is it about your destination that motivates the staff and community to reach your aspiration?
Is your aspiration purpose driven?
As a result of this work and dialog, a new vision for the Village was approved:
To sustain and enhance North Palm Beach as the “best place to live under the sun” through superior services,
small Village character, and quality amenities.
Mission
A community’s mission is its core purpose. It acts as a “North Star” providing direction to staff. The mission gives a clear and
effective guide for making decisions. When combined with the vision, it provides a focal point to align staff, thus ensuring that
everyone is working towards a single purpose. When considering the mission, the Council was asked to consider the following:
How does the mission promote constituent ( residents, business owners, etc.) satisfaction and needs?
Does your mission capitalize on your core competencies and help you mitigate weaknesses or threats?
Does your mission inspire action in staff and stakeholders?
Is your mission clear and easily understood?
As a result of this work and dialog, the following mission statement was crafted:
North Palm Beach will provide unparalleled amenities and innovative approaches to meeting the needs of our
unique community. Services shall be delivered in a fair, respectful, and professional manner. We will protect and
enhance our natural resources, provide excellent public safety, and maintain a vibrant physical, social, and
economic community.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 51
Themes & Objectives
During this year’s planning cycle, the Council was asked to review and better de ne the existing objectives for the Village.
Through this exercise, staff would be provided a means to clearly align work and priorities so that resources and investments in
the Village would be best allocated. As the Council reviewed each previous objective, they were asked to answer the following
questions about each:
Is it still relevant for the Village today?
Does it align to your Mission?
Will attainment of this goal help you to execute your mission successfully?
Does the goal ultimately provide a pathway to achieving the Vision and position the Village for success in the next 10
years?
Is it clear and measurable?
Is it realistic and attainable?
Does it leverage your Strengths or Opportunities and/or mitigate your Weaknesses or Threats?
During this discussion, themes began to emerge. Rather than simply focusing on speci c objectives, overarching ideas and
concepts for how work is done today and where the Village is headed ltered out. Strategic themes are the main, high-level
business strategies that form the basis for the Village’s business model. “Load bearing walls” can be used as an analogy of how
they work in strategic planning. These “loadbearing walls” play a critical role in supporting the entire structure of your building.
And their placement and design may dictate what you can and cannot do in terms of the layout and function of your space.
The same is true of strategic themes. They provide structure, support, and often boundaries for your strategy. More importantly,
they de ne your business strategies and business model. They support the execution of your mission in attainment of the
Vision.
The Council identi ed themes, de ned what they mean, and further provided one or more broad objectives within each
theme:
All Neighborhoods as Safe and Desirable Places to Live
Every neighborhood in the Village will be a place where we and our families would want to live.
Objectives:
. Deliver excellent public safety. Continue to be one of the safest cities in Florida.
. Promote and maintain the Village’s aesthetics and beauty in keeping with our character.

Community Cul ture and Character
Preserve and honor the small Village character, culture, and charm of North Palm Beach.
Objectives:

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis
A SWOT Analysis focuses on the key internal and external factors that may affect the Village. It’s a way of looking at key
in uences so that you can leverage them to your advantage (Strengths and Opportunities) or mitigate their risks
(Weaknesses and Threats). SWOT is not an end-all in itself. Rather, it is one additional input to help plan the strategy. It
does this by identifying potential obstacles to successfully executing the Mission in the achievement of the stated vision.
It may also uncover unseen possibilities or limitations.
When developing SWOT, the Council and staff identi ed the following areas of opportunities and concerns:
Strengths:
Village Management
Organizational Culture
Amenities & Recreational Opportunities
Safe & Secure City
Community Involvement
Revenue Generation
Weaknesses:
Infrastructure & Facilities
Financial Sustainability
Process Inef ciencies
Limited hiring market
Outdated Codes
Opportunities:
Extend Village boundaries / tax-base
Improve service ef ciency
Preservation & promotion of community culture
Environment
Business recruitment & support
Threats:
Infrastructure
Safety & Security

Performance Management
Performance Management is the process of creating an environment where employees feel enabled to perform to the best of
their abilities. Strategic Planning is the rst and primary step in creating that environment. Strategic Planning tools guide
decision making and governance for the entire organization.
The Vision and Mission act as the Village’s “North Star” for long term community character, services, and quality of life.
The SWOT and Strategic Goals act as the “pathway” to achieving the vision and executing that mission.
As new initiatives (projects) are proposed we ask:
How well does this align with the strategic goals of the Village?
How does it help us execute our mission and promote the successful achievement of our vision?
How does it leverage our strengths, reduce our weaknesses, take advantage of our opportunities, and mitigate the
threats to our Village?
Having a clear understanding of proposed projects and their value to the Village helps in deciding what new projects move
forward and, ultimately, what gets funded and when.
Conclusion
The Village integrates the annual budgeting process with the strategic planning process. The Strategic Plan helps to prioritize
how the Village will use current and future resources to achieve identi ed goals. In this way, the strategic plan drives budget
preparation decisions and service delivery implementation.
The Village’s ongoing strategic planning process is an af rmation and continuation of a time-honored credo that we are the
“best place to live under the sun.”

Long Range Planning
The long-range planning for the Village of North Palm Beach is outlined in the following policy documents:
. The Comprehensive Plan.
. The Annual Budget.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1989, in compliance with the Florida Statutes Chapter 163,
Department of Community Affairs. The Plan guides future growth and development and provides an overall
vision for the Village. The Plan contains the owing elements:
. Future Land Use
. Transportation
. Housing
. Infrastructure
. Coastal Management
. Conservation
. Recreation and Open Space
. Intergovernmental Coordination
. Capital Improvements
. Public School Concurrency
. Annexation (Optional Element)
Each element of the plan provides goals, objectives and policies to guide the growth of the Village. Levels of
Service (LOS) are also established in the comprehensive plan to ensure that infrastructure and services will be
available to accommodate new residential and commercial developments. The LOS analysis and resultant
capital expenditures are included in the Capital Improvement element, which provides the continuity between
the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and the Annual Budget through the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). The CIP identi es projects and their associated costs and is reviewed and updated annually in both
documents.
Long-Term Financial Plan
The Annual Budget contains a CIP and an analysis of total projected revenues and expenditures for the same
time periods as the CIP. The projections assist management in the planning and allocation of resources to
achieve the Village Council's goals of maintaining a nancially secure municipal government.
The long-range nancial plan should not be confused with the Village’s budget. The budget is the village’s legal
authority for spending. The budget focuses on the near-term future; it is very detailed, and it must be balanced
between resources and requirements. In comparison, the long-range nancial plan has a longer time-frame, is
less detailed and is only used to help management develop budget strategies and prioritize the use of limited
resources.
The results of the long-range nancial plan for the major operating funds (General Fund and Country Club) are
provided on the following pages.

Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 62
Fiscal Year 2023 Comprehensive Pay and Classi cation Plan
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT
A Comprehensive Pay and Classi cation Plan for the Village of North Palm Beach (the “Pay Plan”), pertaining to
all positions, including those that may be speci ed elsewhere in negotiated collective bargaining agreements
or individual employment contracts, is hereby established. This document will supersede and replace the pay-
related provisions of the Village’s Personnel Rules and Regulations.
SECTION 2. DEVELOPMENT OF PAY RANGES
The Pay Plan establishes pay ranges (grades) for each classi cation. These salary ranges of pay have been
determined following a Comprehensive Compensation Study. All FPE and general employee positions were
included in this extensive study. Due with regard to the range of pay for other classes, the relative dif culty and
responsibility of positions in the class, market rates of pay for similar positions, and the nancial position of the
Village as well as other economic considerations were taken into consideration. Base pay is, by de nition, the
pay level within the pay range for each position classi cation. Base pay may not exceed the maximum pay rate
for the position classi cation. For General (non-bargaining unit) employees, the Pay Plan provides for a pay
range, without regard to speci c pay level within that range. Adjustments to pay ranges for FPE, PBA and IAFF
positions are re ected for budgeting purposes and are subject to bargaining.
SECTION 3. APPLICABILITY
All employees of the Village of North Palm Beach, except as provided elsewhere, shall be compensated in
accordance with this Pay Plan depending upon job classi cation.
SECTION 4. IMPLEMENTATION
At the conclusion of the Comprehensive Compensation Study, ndings were reviewed by each Council
Member and Mayor in great speci city. Several positions were regraded, re-classed, renamed and/or newly
created. All pay ranges for FY23 will shift upward by 8% so that the minimum and maximum for each pay grade
is increased. A new, more narrow pay structure for part-time positions in Country Club, Library and Parks and
Recreation Departments is being implemented in which the minimum hourly rate an employee will earn is
$13.50 per hour. Additionally, non-bargaining, full-time and part-time employees, not subject to the new part-
time pay ranges previously described, will receive an 8% across-the-board increase on October 1, 2022.
Bargaining unit employees shall receive base wage increases in accordance with their respective collective
bargaining agreements.
SECTION 5. HIRING PAY RATES
New employees shall be hired at the minimum rate established for a job class. Exceptions may be authorized
by the Village Manager based on the exceptional quali cations of the appointee or the inability to employ
suitable personnel at the minimum rate.
SECTION 6. MERIT INCREASES FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES
All employees of the Village of North Palm Beach, except as provided elsewhere, shall be eligible for a merit
increase on their employee anniversary date. The anniversary date shall be de ned as the employee's entry
date into his/her present position. After the one-year period in their present position, employees shall be
eligible for a merit increase, as de ned herein, and shall be eligible at their annual anniversary date every year
from that time forward. Contractual provisions will govern bargaining unit employees’ merit increases.
Employees may be granted merit increases from zero to six percent (0-6%) of salary, based upon documented
and demonstrated workplace performance as recommended by their supervisors. No employee will be eligible
for a merit increase greater or equal to 4.5% without the approval of the Village Manager. Merit increases are
not automatic and are contingent upon receipt of a satisfactory performance evaluation.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 63
Employees who will exceed the maximum pay for their classi cation will receive a merit increase up to the
maximum of the pay range and be eligible for a lump sum performance payment, as follows:
Exceptional Level $1,800.00
Above Average to Satisfactory review rating $1,500.00
Development Required to Unacceptable $0.00
The lump sum payment shall not be included in an employee’s regular base rate of pay and shall not be carried
forward in subsequent years.
SECTION 7. MERIT INCREASES FOR PART-TIME, SEASONAL AND SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD EMPLOYEES
Part-time Employees are employees who work less than thirty (30) hours per week. Part-time employees are
hired at the pay range (grade) minimum unless otherwise recommended by the Department Director and
approved by the Director of Human Resources and Risk Management. Part-time employees shall be eligible for
a merit increase upon receipt of a satisfactory evaluation. Part-time employees who leave Village employment
and are subsequently rehired are not considered to have continuous service and, as a result, are only eligible for
a merit increase annually based upon their rehire date.
Tennis Instructors are not eligible for merit increases as their hourly rates are based on funds generated from
lesson revenue in keeping with tennis industry best practices. As a result, their entry-level rates fall in the upper
range of the assigned pay grade and, as a result, are much higher when compared to all other part-time
employees whose starting salaries fall in the lower range. To correct the Pay Plan disparity and to ensure Tennis
Instructors are not paid over the maximum for their pay range, merit increases are not awarded for this
particular employee category.
Seasonal Employees are employees hired to work for a de ned period not to exceed twenty-six (26) weeks of
any twelve (12) month scal year. Seasonal employees, who return after working for the entirety of any
scheduled season, will be eligible for a two percent (2%) merit increase at the beginning of the upcoming
season. Those employees who leave employment prior to the end of the season and are later rehired by the
Village will be considered new employees and will not be eligible for an increase upon rehiring.
School Crossing Guards are employed by the Village for approximately nine and one-half (9 ½) months out of
twelve (12) months, following the regular school year calendar on a part-time basis. These individuals obviously
meet the above criteria of being part-time working only ninety (90) minutes per school day, but have never
been afforded performance reviews. While the duration of assignment for these individual employees exceeds
the above de nition of “seasonal employee,” their employment is of seasonal nature. Returning, part-time
School Crossing Guards will be eligible for a two percent (2%) increase at the beginning of each school year.
SECTION 8. PROMOTIONS, DEMOTIONS, TRANSFERS, AND RECLASSIFICATIONS
In the event of a promotion to a higher pay range (grade), employees will either be placed in the new position’s
pay range (grade) at a base pay level or will receive an increase of 10% of their current salary, whichever is
greater, provided the amount does not exceed the pay range maximum for the new position. Upon the written
recommendation of the Department Director and written approval by the Village Manager, employees who are
within two (2) months of their existing anniversary / annual review date may receive a merit increase prior to
the implementation of their recommended promotion. Bargaining unit employees shall receive promotional
increases in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.
In the event of an involuntary demotion, employees will be placed in the same relative position for the lower
position grade as they enjoyed in the previous classi cation, as long as the pay does not decrease more than
10%.
For a voluntary demotion to a lower pay range (grade), employees shall be placed in the lower position grade
while having their current pay “frozen” at their current level or the maximum of the lower level position, which
may be more than 10% – with future pay adjustments being frozen to “offset” this higher pay level until fully
absorbed or until the maximum of the pay range is reached, whichever occurs rst.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 64
In the event an employee is transferred to a position with the same pay grade, their rate of pay will remain the
same. Employees who experienced a lateral transfer during the evaluation period that causes the evaluation
date to change (e.g. due to movement to/from a position covered by a collective bargaining unit to/from a non-
bargaining position) shall be evaluated on a pro-rata basis during the transition from one evaluation period to
the next. Bargaining unit employees shall receive merit increases in accordance with their respective collective
bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.
The Village Administration retains the right to evaluate and, if appropriate, make personnel classi cation
changes (reclassi cations) in support of providing the most cost effective and ef cient delivery of services to
the residents of the Village.
SECTION 9. WORKING TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT AT HIGHER PAY GRADE
General employees who are authorized and directed by the Village Manager or his designee to temporarily
work in an established higher pay grade classi cation shall be paid ve percent (5%) above their base pay rate
for the period of time worked in the higher pay grade classi cation. Increases for temporary work assignments
that do not conform to established pay grade classi cations are handled on a case-by-case basis at the
discretion of the Village Manager.
SECTION 10. OVERTIME
Overtime must be authorized by the Village Manager or Department Director. Unless otherwise speci ed in
the applicable collective bargaining agreement, overtime is paid to non-exempt employees at one and one-
half (1½) times the hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per week. Bargaining unit
employees shall receive overtime in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless
otherwise negotiated.
SECTION 11. EMERGENCY PAY
During a Declaration of Emergency by the Village Manager, employees may be required to work as deemed
necessary and shall be compensated in a fair and equitable manner. Employees may be called in to work
before, during, and/or immediately after an emergency. All employees will be paid in accordance with the
provisions outlined in Resolution 2019-84.
SECTION 12. BENEFIT ELIGIBILITY
Employees in full-time, budgeted positions are eligible for participation in the Village’s retirement plans,
medical and dental insurance, long-term disability insurance, and employer-paid life insurance programs
according to the requirements of these plans/programs. Part-time employees who are regularly scheduled to
work thirty (30) or more hours per week or in excess of 1,560 hours within the of cial measurement period will
be eligible for medical and dental insurance in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Part-time employees
working less than thirty (30) hours per week as well as Seasonal employees are not eligible to participate in
such plans or to receive bene ts associated with such plans/programs.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS BENEFITS/INCENTIVES
457 Deferred Compensation Contributions – The Village will match a non-union, full-time employee’s 457
Deferred Compensation plan through ICMA-RC based on a contribution rate of 50 cents for every dollar of
employee contribution, up to a monthly Village contribution limit of $60/mo. ($720/yr.) and paid on a bi-weekly
basis. Bargaining unit employees shall receive deferred compensation in accordance with their respective
collective bargaining agreements.
Long Term Disability Insurance – Employer-paid coverage for long-term disability shall continue for all full-
time employees who become disabled due to an illness or non-work-related injury, unless otherwise
negotiated. Employees must be disabled for ninety (90) days prior to becoming eligible for the bene t.
Life Insurance – The Village life insurance program for all full-time employees shall continue at a level
equivalent to the maximum level allowed by IRS regulations before imputing added employee compensation

Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 65
Bereavement Leave – Regular full-time employees are entitled to two (2) leaves, a maximum of three (3) days
of leave with pay for each instance, in any one annual period (based on a rolling 12-month period from the

notice, memorial service pamphlet, funeral home announcement, etc.
Sick Leave Incentive Award Program – Regular full-time (non-probationary) general employees who do not
use any sick leave within any continuous (6) six-month period are eligible to earn eight (8) hours of annual leave
time as incentive for not using sick leave. Bargaining unit employees shall receive sick leave incentive(s) in
accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreement, unless otherwise negotiated.
Sick Leave Pool – A voluntary sick leave pool may be established one time during a 48-month period, rolling
backward, on a volunteer basis for a regular, non-probationary, full-time employee who has exhausted or
depleted all accrued leave hours (sick, vacation, etc.) on an employee-only FMLA-eligible illness (not applicable
to an illness incurred by a family or service member). A Sick Leave Pool whereby an employee is permitted to
use up to 240 hours of sick pay as determined by the amount of sick leave time donated by other employees
on a Village-wide basis must be initiated in writing by the employee’s Department Director and approved by
the Village Manager. Available one time during a 48-month rolling backward period for each employee.
Certi cation Incentive - The certi cation incentive program will continue to provide certi cation pay for job-
related certi cations when recommended by the Department Director and approved by the Village Manager.
Employees are not eligible for certi cation pay if they hold or are pursuing certi cations or licenses that are
required as stated in their current job description. Certi cation incentive pay will be issued as follows:
Certi cations requiring continuing education $1,000
Certi cations with no continuing education (Exam Required)$500
The maximum number of certi cations eligible for the certi cation incentive will be three (3) per employee.
The certi cation incentive will not be included in the base pay rate, and payment will be prorated based on the
standard pay cycle. Employees whose compensation has reached the pay range maximum will be ineligible for
certi cation pay above the pay range maximum. For certi cation requiring renewal or continuing education,
employees must meet the appropriate renewal criteria and provide a copy of the renewed certi cate in order
to continue receiving the certi cation incentive pay.
Educational Reimbursement Program – The Village provides educational reimbursement to eligible
employees who are seeking qualifying undergraduate / graduate degrees or professional certi cations or who
wish to obtain job-related training. Only active, full-time employees with at least one full year of continuous
service and in good standing are eligible to apply for the program. Funding is subject to budgetary constraints.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - The Village offers an Employee Assistance Program with various
counseling and referral services and currently provides for six (6) free counseling sessions per year for each
employee (part-time and full-time) or quali ed dependent.
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – Flexible Spending Accounts allow employees to voluntarily set aside tax-
deferred compensation for quali ed health care and work-related dependent care expenses.

Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 68
Fund Balance Overview
Fund Balance is generally de ned as the difference between a fund’s assets and liabilities. Changes in fund balance are based
on the difference between revenues and expenditures for a given scal year. An adequate fund balance is necessary for
numerous reasons, such as to have funds available in cases of emergencies, unexpected events, cushion economic cycles and
special projects. It is also used to maintain or enhance the Village’s nancial position and related bond ratings, to provide cash
for operations prior to receipt of revenues and to maintain investment earnings.
Over the past years, the Village has been able to generate healthy reserves through growth management, strategic planning,
and cost containment measures. The goal of the Village has been to use surplus reserves in ways that positively affect its
nancial plan by reducing long-term obligations. The Village does not use surpluses to offset the subsequent year’s budget,
unless otherwise determined by the Village Council.
GASB 54
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released Statement 54 – “Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental
Fund Type De nitions” on March 11, 2009. The Village implemented GASB 54 in its scal year 2011 annual nancial reports. This
statement impacts only governmental funds; it has no impact on proprietary (enterprise) funds or duciary funds. The
requirements of this statement are intended to improve nancial reporting by providing fund balance categories and
classi cations that will be more easily understood and applied. The categories are more clearly de ned to make the nature and
extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance more transparent by isolating that portion of fund balance
that is unavailable to support the following year’s budget.
GASB 54 eliminates the previous categories of “Reserved” and “Unreserved” for all Governmental Fund balances, and replaces
these with ve new reporting categories. These categories create a hierarchy of constraints that control how speci c amounts
can be spent. The ve new reporting categories are as follows:
Non-spendable – amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be maintained intact (inventories, prepaid
items, inter-fund loans)
Restricted – amounts constrained to speci c purposes by their providers (debt covenants, grant proceeds)
Committed – amounts constrained to speci c purposes by the government itself (disaster recovery, rate stabilization,
insurance, encumbrances)
Assigned – amounts a government intends to issue for a speci c purpose
Unassigned – amounts that are available for any purpose
General Fund:
The fund balance of the general fund, one of the governmental funds, is of signi cance because it is the primary fund
nancing most functions of the Village. It is used by rating agencies as a measure of the nancial strength of the
government. The Unassigned general fund balance increased to $13.89 million during the 2021 scal year. The increase
was primarily due to the increase in several revenue categories and savings in personnel costs. There are no major
changes in fund balances expected.
Enterprise Funds:
The measure of nancial health for enterprise funds is net assets. Enterprise funds have restricted and unrestricted net
assets. So long as net assets are not negative, these funds are self-supporting. The Village has two (2) Enterprise Funds:
Country Club and Stormwater Utility; however, the Stormwater Fund is new for the upcoming scal year so the only
enterprise fund operation with historical activity is the Country Club. In FY 2019, the Country Club Clubhouse
construction and golf course renovation projects were completed. The negative impact in FY 2020 was largely due to the
mandated closure of the Country Club Restaurant and cancellation of several events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even though the rst full year (2021) was particularly challenging given the operation of a new facility in the midst of a
global pandemic, it is anticipated that the Country Club will realize a successful nancial outcome and fund balance will
return to positive levels in Fiscal Year 2022.
Fund Balance tables for the Village’s three Budgetary Funds (one General Fund and two Enterprise Funds) are included on the
following pages. These tables represent the Village’s actual fund balances as of October 01, 2021. The actual fund balances for
scal year 2021-22 will be available upon completion of the Village’s annual audit in early 2023. The reserves shown in these
tables are based on conservative revenue estimates and one hundred percent (100%) of the budgeted expenditures being
expended.

Fund Balance Summary - General Fund
The Village Council has adopted a nancial policy requiring the Village to maintain a fund balance of 35% in the general fund in
order to mitigate potential catastrophes during any given year. As shown in the table below, the General Fund continues to
hold a strong fund balance, well above its requirement.

All Funds
Summary
The budget is a plan (both nancially and policy driven) for the
accomplishment of goals and objectives identi ed as being necessary to
the purpose of our local government. As a nancial plan, the budget
includes estimates of resources required, tax and non-tax revenues
available to support implementation and the number of positions
estimated to ful ll the levels of service set forth by policy decisions. In
other words, the "budget" is the legal authorization to expend Village
funds during the scal year.
The Village adopts an annual budget for three (3) funds: General Fund,
Country Club and Stormwater Utility. The combined budget summary for
all funds is presented below.
Summary
The Village of North Palm Beach is projecting $37.36M of revenue in FY2023, which represents a 12.4% increase over the prior
year. Budgeted expenditures are projected to increase by 12.4% or $4.12M to $37.36M in FY2023.

This budget includes funding to maintain current levels of services provided to our residents and funding for the personnel
necessary to support existing operations and programs. The increase in the total budget is primarily related to the following
items:
An increase in personnel costs related to the following key items:
An 8% across-the-board base wage increase for non-union personnel resulting from the implementation of the
Comprehensive Compensation Study; and
An anticipated salary increase of approximately 4% from performance-based merit increases for non-union
personnel and negotiated increases for union-eligible employees as negotiated in their collective bargaining
agreements
An anticipated increase in debt service expense associated with entering into additional vehicle lease programs;
An increase in reserve/contingency funds to provide for FPE union contract negotiations
An increase in the operating transfer to the general capital improvement plan;
An increase in the operating transfer to the Country Club for the capital renewal and replacement fund; and
An increase in capital outlay expenses at the Country Club for golf related projects.
For more information about the major resources, please refer to the "Funding Sources" section.
For more information about the changes in expenditures, please refer to the "Departments" section.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 92
The Village’s annual budget includes three funds, and the largest is the General Fund:
General Fund – The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village and accounts for all of the core services of general
government (including ad-valorem taxes) that are not required to be accounted for separately. Services provided in the
General Fund include: Public Safety, Solid Waste, Fleet Maintenance, Recreation, Library, Streets & Stormwater Maintenance,
Public Improvements, Planning & Zoning, Code Compliance, Building, and General Administrative Services.
Enterprise Funds – Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are nanced and operated as private businesses.
The goal of the Village is that the full cost of operations, maintenance and capital improvements are recovered through user
charges / fees / assessments. The Village has two Enterprise Funds: Country Club Fund and the Stormwater Utility Fund.
Other funds used by the Village are brie y described below. These funds are not considered budgetary funds because they either
involve multi-year projects or are funds held in trust for someone else; they are used only for nancial reporting purposes:
Special Revenue Funds –These funds account for the proceeds of speci c revenue sources that are legally restricted to
expenditures for speci ed purposes. Examples include grants and infrastructure surtax.
Capital Project Fund –This fund accounts for nancial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital
facilities or improvements (other than those nanced by proprietary funds) being nanced from general long-term debt,
grants, or transfers from other funds.
Fiduciary funds - used to account for resources that are held by the government as a trustee or agent for parties outside the
government and that cannot be used to support the government’s own programs. The funds in this category are the Village’s
Pension Trust Funds and Agency Funds.
Revenue by Fund
As outlined in the Fund Structure section, revenue collected by the village is directed into different funds. These funds help
manage village spending by directing the revenue dedicated to speci c activities or objectives to a group of related accounts. By
maintaining separate funds, the Village is able to comply with laws that require certain money to be spent for speci c
purposes. Basically, a fund provides a distinct accounting mechanism to keep public money designated for different purposes
from being commingled.

Expenditures by Expense Type
Fund appropriations are classi ed into four "expense types" (Personnel, Operating, Capital and Debt Service). This section
includes discussion regarding appropriations for the Village's FY 2022/23 Budget by expense type:
Personnel - Personnel costs include employee salaries, pension contributions, health care, workers' compensation costs,
taxes, etc. The assumptions used in budgeting these costs are brie y described below:
Salaries - Performance based merit increases for non-union personnel are budgeted at an average of 4.0% based on a
0% - 6% scale. Salary increases for union eligible employees (FPE, PBA and IAFF) are budgeted in accordance with the
merit increases as negotiated in their collective bargaining agreements.
Retirement - For the purpose of creating the 2022/23 budget, the estimated annual required employer contributions
are listed below. The actual gures will be based on asset returns, actuarial experience and the results of collective
bargaining. All budgeted plan contributions are outlined below:
General Employee Pension Plan - Employer Contribution (15%); Employee Contribution (6%)
Police and Fire Pension Plan - Employer Contribution (12%); Employee Contribution (Police = 8.5%; Fire = 7.5%)
Mission Square Retirement 401a Plan - Employer Contribution (15%); Employee Contribution (3%, 5%, 10% or 15%)
Health Insurance - Budgeted at the employee level for the cost provided by the insurance carrier based on type of
coverage.
FICA - This item is budgeted at 7.65% of total estimated payroll.
Workers' Compensation - This item is budgeted at the employee level for the cost provided by the insurance carrier
based on type of position.
Operating Costs - Includes department operating costs (supplies, materials and other consumable items related to duties
or function of the department). The following items are also categorized as operating costs for reporting purposes: reserves
& contingencies and transfers to other funds.
Department Operating Costs - Appropriations for each department are budgeted based on past history and the needs
of the department. Some of the items included in this category are: professional services and contracts, utilities,
repairs and maintenance, fuel, operating supplies, rental agreements, software licensing, general of ce supplies,
training costs, etc.
Reserves & Contingencies - During the budget process, reserves are set aside to accommodate unanticipated
expenditures. Hurricane expense, which is not a budgetary expense, is also recorded in the reserve category as the
expense is incurred.
The General Fund includes a contingency of $240,682 to address the FPE Union contract negotiations.
The Country Club includes a reserve in the amount of $174,000 as a contribution to the Country Club renewal
and replacement fund, which will be used to nance the repair and replacement of capital assets at the
clubhouse.
Transfers - Operating transfers from the General Fund to other funds as discussed and approved by Village Council
during the budget process. The FY2023 General Fund budget includes the following transfers to other funds:
Transfer to the Capital Projects fund for general fund CIP items ($679,800); and
Transfer to the Country Club ($482,550) to provide funding for the tennis & pool operations and the renewal and
replacement fund for the repair and replacement of capital assets at the Clubhouse.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 102
Capital Outlay - Capital needs and resource availability are assessed annually through a capital planning process that
results in a ve-year capital plan. The ve-year capital plan includes:
the cost to furnish and maintain capital facilities and equipment, such as roadways, parks, drainage systems and other
valuable infrastructure; and
the cost of new and replacement xed assets, such as vehicles, equipment, etc.
Those items deemed necessary are funded in the respective department's budget; the remaining items are deferred
to future years. For FY 2022/23, a total of $1,028,000 is budgeted as capital outlay ($508,000 in the Country Club fund,
$20,000 in the General Fund and $500,000 in the Stormwater Utility Fund). For the remaining capital items, separate
Village Council actions will be brought forward to appropriate any anticipated funding during Fiscal Year 2023.
Debt Service - Debt service payments are the series of payments of principal and interest required on a debt over the scal
year. The budgeted amount is based on the amortization schedule for each debt service instrument.
General Fund - The General Fund has one loan obligation and several capital lease agreements for the purpose of
nancing the purchase of vehicles.
Country Club - The Country Club has one loan obligation and one inter-fund loan outstanding.

Fund Balance
The Village’s actual fund balances as of October 01, 2021 are shown below . The actual fund balances for scal year 2021-22
will be available upon completion of the Village’s annual audit in early 2023. The reserves shown are based on conservative
revenue estimates and one hundred percent (100%) of the budgeted expenditures being expended.
The signi cant decline in the 2020 fund balance was largely due to the Country Club Clubhouse construction and golf
course renovation projects. The closure of both facilities disrupted the Country Club's ability to deliver services and resulted
in signi cant revenue loss for the Country Club. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to the transfer of pool and tennis
assets with a net book value of $3.25 million from the General Fund.

Stormwater
Fund
The Village implemented a Stormwater Management Utility Assessment in
Fiscal Year 2022, which is levied as a non-ad valorem assessment on the
annual property tax bill using the Uniform Method of Collection as
authorized by the State of Florida in Florida Statute 403.0893. The Village
established a Stormwater Management Utility Fund as an enterprise fund
into which all revenues from the Stormwater Management Utility
Assessments, grants, and other funding sources are deposited and
expenditures relating to the stormwater management system are paid.
Summary
The Village of North Palm Beach is projecting $500K of revenue in FY2023, which represents a 3.5% decrease over the prior
year. Budgeted expenditures are projected to decrease by 3.5% or $18.11K to $500K in FY2023.

The decrease in this fund is primarily due to the reduction in the total number of properties included in the assessment roll.
Revenue by Fund
The amount of the Stormwater Management Utility Assessment is based on the estimated amount of
stormwater runoff generated by impervious surfaces located on parcels of real property within the Village
(based on land use type). Each Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) is assessed at a rate of $7.78/month or
$93.36/year. It is estimated that the Village will collect $500,000 from the Stormwater Management Utility
Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023.

Ad Valorem Taxes Summary
The primary source of funds for most cities in Florida is property taxes. Property taxes are an ad valorem tax, meaning they
are allocated to each property according to its value. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser establishes the value of
each property and the exemptions allowed, resulting in an assessed, or taxable, value. The Village Council establishes the
millage rate which is applied against these values to generate the Ad Valorem Taxes for the Village.
Fiscal Year 2023:
Ad Valorem Taxes account for 53% of the Village's overall budget and 67% of the General Fund budget, making this the
single largest revenue line item for the Village.
Millage Options:
For Fiscal Year 2022/23, the taxable property value increased from $2.63 billion to $2.96 billion (this includes $13.14
million in new construction). Based on the nal taxable value and current legislation, the millage options, with respect
to voting and advertising requirements, are discussed in the following paragraphs.
As per current tax law (FS 200.185), the Village is required to follow these procedures for FY 2022/23 when setting its
millage rate:
$6.2648 Mils (Rolled-Back Rate): A simple majority is all that is required to approve the rolled-back millage rate of
$6.2648 or less. The rolled-back rate is the rate required to produce the same amount of ad valorem tax revenues this
year as the previous year, excluding the effect of new construction. The typical example is that as assessments
increase, the millage rate decreases proportionately to equalize the revenues.
$6.2649 - $7.0148 Mils (Majority Vote Maximum Millage Rate): A simple majority vote is also all that is required to
approve a rate above the rolled-back rate, up to $7.0148 mils (This rate is calculated by adjusting the rolled-back rate by
the growth in Florida per capita personal income). However, since this is higher than the rolled-back rate, it must be
advertised as a tax increase.
$7.0149 - $7.7163 Mils (Two-Thirds Vote Maximum Millage Rate): A super majority vote is required to increase the
millage rate by up to 110% of the majority vote maximum rate.
$7.7164 - $10.0000 Mils (Unanimous Vote Maximum Millage Rate): A unanimous vote is required to increase the
millage rate by more than 110% of the majority vote maximum rate. However, this is subject to an overall legal ceiling
for municipalities of 10 mils.
The Village Council established the millage rate at $7.0000 mils for FY 2022/23, which is 11.74% above the FY 2023
Rolled-Back Rate of $6.2648 Mils and 0.71% lower than the FY 2022 millage rate of $7.0500 mils. At the millage rate of
$7.0000 mils, the gross ad valorem tax revenue is $20.76 million; however, due to discounts for prompt payment, state
law requires that only 95% of the gross taxes be budgeted as revenue - equating to $19,719,991. The formula is shown
below:

Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Summary
The Village implemented a Stormwater Utility Non-Ad Valorem Assessment (Resolution # 2021-68) in Fiscal
Year 2022. The stormwater fee will allow the Village to not only address the collective impact of non-point
source pollution caused by stormwater runoff, but make immediate repairs to sections of the Village’s
existing stormwater system that are deteriorating to the point that sinkholes are being formed in our streets
and on private property. The Village will be working on a Stormwater Master Plan to identify strategies and
projects that can be used to manage the volume and quality of stormwater as well as addressing the
impacts of sea level rise on the community.

by the state each year.
Municipal Revenue Sharing - The Florida Revenue Sharing Act of 1972 created a revenue sharing trust fund for
municipalities in order to ensure revenue parity. An allocation formula serves as the basis for the distribution of these
revenues to each municipality that meets strict eligibility requirements. The apportionment factor is calculated for
each eligible municipality using a formula consisting of the following weighted factors: municipal population,
municipal sales tax collection, and the municipality's relative ability to raise revenues. The budget estimate is provided
by the Florida Department of Revenue each year.

Other Sources
Revenues from other sources include items such as operating transfers, capital lease acquisitions and fund balance
appropriations. These items are evaluated every year and are appropriated only if necessary.
Note: Capital Lease acquisitions are not budgetary and are recorded for nancial reporting purposes in the general fund
only:
GASB:
"When a capital lease represents the acquisition or construction of a general capital asset, the acquisition or
construction of that asset should be re ected as an expenditure and other nancing source, consistent with the
accounting and nancial reporting for general obligation bonded debt."
Fiscal Year 2023:
Other Sources account for 1.29% of the Village's overall budget and 6.6% of the Country Club budget and is primarily made
up of operating transfers from the General Fund to the Country Club:
Functions at the Country Club continue to be reviewed to ensure that revenue is generated to nance debt, cover
operating and maintenance costs and begin funding future improvements. The functions at the Country Club
continue to be reviewed to ensure that revenue is generated to nance debt, cover operating and maintenance costs
and begin funding future improvements. A contribution to a Renewal & Replacement (R&R) Fund, which will be used
to nance the repair and replacement of capital assets at the clubhouse, is included in the budget. Additionally,
because of continued operational changes at the tennis center and the pool, it is anticipated that the nancial
obligations of the General Fund to those functions will be reduced even though they will continue to be accessible to
all Village residents.

Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 177
New Initiatives
Although not a new initiative, the Village will be conducting a series of workshops to review the recently
passed Village’s Development Code. Updating the Village’s code was a key action item identi ed in the 2016
Citizens’ Master Plan. The code rewrite process, which was completed in coordination with Dover Kohl and
Partners, has resulted in a new set of regulations that provides for development in the community’s
commercial areas that is consistent with the vision articulated in the Master Plan – namely active and vibrant
development that is interesting in its form and is accessible to residents by foot, bicycle or golf cart.
An Ad-Hoc committee was formed in FY2022 to review and recommend to the Planning Commission and
Village Council the second story massing of Single Family homes which will go into effect in FY2023. The Ad-
Hoc committee will be tasked to review more codes and make recommendations to Council to improve the
residential codes based upon concerns that development in the Village’s neighborhoods are consistent with
the community’s character.
The Village Administration will continue to work towards the US1 Corridor within the Village for a lane
repurposing project. The existing six-lane con guration within the Village is bookended with four-lane
con gurations north of the Parker Bridge and south of Northlake Boulevard. As part of the evaluation process,
traf c projections have been completed and concluded that US1 would see minor increases in travel time
(approximately 13 seconds) in the year 2040. To be conservative, this assumes a level of development along the
corridor that is highly unlikely – 250,000 sf of commercial development and over 2,000 dwelling units and
limits the lane repurposing initiative to the segment of US1 between Anchorage Drive North and Anchorage
Drive South. These results will continue to be shared with the public as the community must weigh in on how
US1 should look, feel and function in the future.
In addition to the lane repurposing endeavor, the Village is working collaboratively with the Florida
Department of Transportation to introduce architectural and pedestrian features that will provide visual access
to the Earman River and improve safety for all modes of transportation. This project is slated to begin in the
summer of FY2023, taking approximately eighteen months to complete.
Palm Beach County will be rebuilding the Prosperity Farms Road Bridge with monies from the one cent sales
tax program. As part of the design and construction process, the Village will encourage the introduction of
architectural features that enhance the appearance and functionality of the bridge for Village residents as
identi ed in the Citizens' Master Plan. Residents and the Village Council will be asked to provide input on
design alternatives at meetings throughout the year. This project is slated to begin in FY2023, taking
approximately eighteen months to complete.
The Environmental Committee and staff have been working collaboratively to implement new initiatives
developed by the Committee over the course of the last year. This year, the Committee will be asked to assist
staff in the development of a Community Sustainability (“Green”) Policy for the Village.
The Business Advisory Board continues to work and improve communication within the business corridor,
designing strategies to attract quality development and businesses to the US1 Corridor and its other main
thoroughfares in order to meet the objectives of the Citizens' Master Plan. The Village Manager, Public Works
Director and Community Development Director will work collaboratively to assist the Board to develop and
implement new programs.
The Village Council has prioritized the need to develop an Annexation Action Plan this scal year. The Village
Manager will work with the Village Council to identify annexation priorities and strategies to pursue to annex
certain unincorporated “pockets”.

Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 195
Service Levels Narrative
The team establishes and maintains strong working relationships with Village departments for the sourcing,
induction, assignment, retention, professional development, safety and performance of all staff. The team is also
responsible for implementing and managing the comprehensive employee bene ts program, workers’
compensation, property & liability programs, personnel policies and procedures, wage and salary directives, and
employee relations activities. Development and oversight of these functions in one of ce ensures consistency and
objectivity in their administration.
The Village workplace consists of 156 full-time and 108 part-time (both year-round and seasonal) employees. Full-
time staff members are eligible to receive the comprehensive bene ts package, which includes employer-funded
medical and dental coverage for employees as well as optional employer-subsidized dependent coverage.
The self-funded retirement plan options offered by the Village are extremely generous. In addition, Flexible
Spending Accounts, Health Savings Accounts, Life and AD&D insurance, Long-Term Disability, Vision and other
optional bene t programs are available. The Village also offers Education Reimbursement and a completely
con dential Employee Assistance Program. HR delivers these programs equitably, consistently and in full
compliance of all federal and state regulations (i.e., FLSA, PPACA , COBRA, FMLA , HIPAA, etc.).
The Department is staffed with a Director of Human Resources and Risk Management, two full-time Human
Resources Specialists and a part-time Administrative Assistant.
The Director of HR and Risk Management oversees and supervises all HR functions including personnel support
and regulation, policy formulation, legal compliance, employee bene t administration, recruitment and selection,
planning and delivery of training programs, investigation and resolution of personnel matters, and employee
complaints and disciplinary actions. The Director ful lls a vital role by working to control Workers’ Compensation
costs and liability factors. The Director also serves as the main point of contact for all Risk Management cases, issues
and activities.
The HR Specialist (Talent Management) ensures that the Village attracts and hires highly quali ed candidates for
employment. This is accomplished through evaluation of the skill sets needed for each vacancy, creating and
updating job descriptions, advertising in appropriate forums, rigorously screening candidates, conducting reference
and background checks and facilitating interviews in accordance with federal and state guidelines. The Specialist
also administers new hire orientations.
The HR Specialist (Compensation and Bene ts) ensures that all Village employees who are eligible for
compensation adjustments and bene ts are correctly processed. The Specialist is also responsible for working
closely with Finance in reconciling bills for employee bene ts, processing new hires, handling requests for
educational reimbursement, calculating merit-based pay increases and providing oversight for employee rates of
pay and other disbursements.
The Administrative Assistant serves as a front-line liaison for the Department, responding to employee and vendor
inquiries and providing administrative support. The Administrative Assistant also serves as the records coordinator
for the Department of Human Resources and Risk Management, managing the Village’s personnel records to
ensure compliance with Florida public records laws and records retention schedules.
The Human Resources and Risk Management Department maintains the Village’s Comprehensive Pay and
Classi cation Plan which includes position descriptions for all Village jobs. Accordingly, HR conducts market-

The Department has partnered with the Village’s Agent of Record (and health insurance broker) to monitor changes
in healthcare regulations as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, including notices, coverage, and minimum levels
of care requirements. The Department continues to work closely with the Village’s broker to negotiate the best
pricing for group health insurance with a quality carrier that has a viable network and a balanced bene ts package.
With less than 500 full-time employees, the Village is not a large enough employer to be rated by the carriers on

Service Levels Narrative
The Police Department consists of thirty-seven (37) police of cers, a Records Clerk, a Clerical Assistant, a Police
Service Aide, a Crime Intelligence Analyst and an Administrative Coordinator. The Department currently has
fteen (15) part-time personnel (one who serves as the CALEA Manager/Captain of Professional Standards and
fourteen (14) School Crossing Guards). There are twelve (12) Reserve Of cers and four (4) non-sworn volunteers.
A Police Academy Sponsorship initiative was implemented to remain competitive with recruitment efforts. The
Patrol squads work a twelve-hour shift schedule and Records and Administration personnel work an eight-
hour shift, with a minimum staf ng requirement to provide appropriate law enforcement coverage.
The Police Chief serves as part of the Village management team reporting to the Village Manager and is
responsible for the overall operation and performance of all Police personnel. The Chief communicates on a
regular basis with the Village Manager, other Village Department Directors and Village Council on all police-
related matters.
The Administrative Coordinator is responsible for all secretarial duties required by the department. Coordinates
and performs duties related to payroll, purchasing, and Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission
requirements. Additional responsibilities include marketing Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET)
programs and soliciting community participation while working in collaboration with other Village
Departments and Village residents to ensure neighborhoods remain desirable places to live.
The Police Department consists of three (3) functional areas:
Operations/Patrol
Operations Support/Detective Squad & Internal Affairs
Professional Standards/Accreditation/Training
Each functional area is commanded by the Deputy Police Chief. The Police Captain is responsible for
overseeing: Patrol, the Detective Squad, Special Operations, Records, and other administrative duties. The
current organizational structure has streamlined internal communications and processes, thereby improving
responsiveness and overall customer service.
Patrol consists of four (4) squads assigned to work two (2) shifts with a minimum of four (4) Police Of cers
assigned to each squad. The minimum staf ng level is four (4) Police Of cers and one (1) Police Sergeant for
each squad to provide the necessary coverage 24-hours per day.
The Detective Squad consists of a Police Detective Sergeant, a Criminal Intelligence Analyst, three (3) Police
Detectives, and a Police Detective/Crime Scene Investigator. They are primarily assigned to investigate and
process evidence of both crimes against property and persons and to analyze criminal activity, allowing the
Department to maximize the use of personnel to prevent and deter criminal activity.
Professional Standards consists of the Training and the CALEA Accreditation function.
The Village of North Palm Beach has a number of waterways within its jurisdiction. Since the Village borders
Lake Worth, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Earman River, a Marine Unit is deployed to provide for the
safety of the boating public and to investigate any marine-related issues.
A Police Sergeant is certi ed as a crime prevention practitioner and is responsible for coordination of
community programs, residential and business security surveys.
The Police Department continues to work diligently to improve training programs with the realization that by
providing staff with the best training possible, their performance will be enhanced and the delivery of services
will be improved. The Training Section is exploring new initiatives for police of cer development; and the
Department now hosts regional classes to provide them with the tools to be successful. Police Of cers receive
regular high liability training, along with various other classes to develop their abilities.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 227
The Police Department continues to closely monitor its response to traf c crashes within the Village. Because
citizen safety is paramount, the Department is always looking for ways to decrease traf c crashes. An analysis of
accident data identi es causation, frequency, location, and time of day, affording the Department with the
necessary information to properly focus its education and enforcement efforts. In addition, the Department
deploys traf c monitoring devices to pinpoint and verify traf c complaint issues. This proactive approach
enables the Department to maximize the use of police resources and to have the greatest impact on the
identi ed problem areas.
The Department’s fully functional crime scene component continues to develop. It is composed of a trained
investigator and Crime Scene van that is equipped to process almost any scene and to collect evidence that
may assist in the apprehension of a suspect or suspects. The vehicle is also out tted to serve as a mobile
command post if the need arises.
The Department continues to research methods for staff to work “smarter ” not necessarily “harder.”
Information Technology personnel continue to work with community policing of cers to deploy surveillance
technology at key locations to assist the Department with crime prevention and detection. Each police vehicle
is equipped with a laptop for report writing and easy access to intelligence information.
In April 2021, the North Palm Beach Police Department completed the fourth national re-accreditation on-site
assessment. The Department was re-accredited for a four-year assessment cycle at the July 2021 Commission
Conference. The Police Department continued to participate in the re-accreditation process, which began
thirteen (13) years ago after receiving the initial accreditation in 2008. The core accreditation team continued
the daunting challenge of reviewing and ensuring compliance with all policies as well as completing
inventories and task analyses to bring the Department into compliance with the high standards set by CALEA .
By choosing to be accredited through CALEA , the Police Department voluntarily accepted the challenge to
meet the most rigorous set of standards designed for law enforcement in the United States. The Police
Department agreed to meet all the standards applicable to the largest sized agency de ned by CALEA and to
prove compliance with those standards on a continual basis through documentation and inspection.
Inspections occur both internally and every four (4) years. Since 2008, inspections have been conducted
annually by a team of law enforcement professionals selected by CALEA from non-bordering jurisdictions.
CALEA standards apply to patrols, investigations, administration, crime prevention, property and evidence, the
Reserves, and all other areas of police operations.
The following community programs are supported by police personnel:
Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET)
The NET team’s goal is to work with residents to ensure neighborhoods remain desirable places to live.
Outreach plans include crime walks, neighborhood clean-ups, beauti cation projects and efforts to obtain
grant money to support neighborhood enhancement initiatives and community revitalization. In
collaboration with the Solid Waste Authority (Paint-Your-Heart Out Program), the NET program painted
and beauti ed ve (5) residential homes.
Police Of cer Reserve Program
The Police Of cer Reserve program was established for Florida Certi ed Law Enforcement Police Of cers
who have an interest in serving this community as part of the North Palm Beach Police Department. The
program currently has twelve (12) Reserve Police Of cers.
**Please note that the ongoing pandemic has negatively affected the numbers below **
Volunteers in Policing
A trained group of volunteers assist with recent victim re-contact in the detective squad and other
administrative tasks throughout the agency. This program currently has four (4) participants.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 228
Security Surveys/Home and Business
The Department’s specially trained community policing of cers provide free residential and business
security surveys to reduce the chances of a break-in at a residence or business. A police of cer provides
tips about door locks, alarm systems, lighting, landscaping and other areas that may help prevent the
property owner from becoming a victim. The Department completed six (6) security surveys last year.
Trespass Program
This program allows business owners to sign an af davit giving consent for police of cers to act as an
agent, thereby giving them the authority to request people to vacate the premises. After the af davit is
signed, the owner installs (at their own expense) speci cally worded “No Trespass” signs in visible
locations throughout the property. Police Of cers advise persons found on the premises that failure to
leave the area may result in arrest. Currently, there are twenty (20) properties involved in this program.
Alert Program
Crime and information bulletins are distributed to residents and business owners to notify them of
current crime trends and prevention strategies. The goal is to create an atmosphere of awareness that
reduces the chances of residents and business owners becoming victims of crime. These prevention
strategies are accomplished by a park, walk and talk technique and by distributing yers, faxes and e-
mails. The Department distributed approximately four hundred (400) yers last year.
Gun Lock Program
Free gun locks are provided for residents to keep their homes safe through secured rearms. The
Department distributed fteen (15) gun locks last year.
Community Participation Meetings
Police Of cers conduct crime prevention meetings throughout the community to learn and discuss what
problems may be occurring and ways to help one another combat crime. This is an open dialogue
between all parties involved in hopes of nding solutions to issues. This program also helps to organize
neighborhoods into Crime Watch groups. There were approximately ve hundred (500) residents who
either attended or showed interest in community meetings last year.
Neighborhood Watch Meetings
Preventing crime in the community is a shared responsibility between the police and residents.
Neighborhood Watch has been entrusted with the responsibility of empowering Village residents to keep
their neighborhoods safe. Safe neighborhoods and crime prevention education for village residents is the
Department’s challenge and goal. The program encourages Village citizens to become actively involved
with the Department through practicing crime prevention techniques and reporting crime or suspicious
activity. The Department attended four (4) meetings. These included NET (Neighborhood Enhancement
Team) meetings.
Safety Awareness Training Seminars
The concept behind Safety Awareness training is to empower individuals and to encourage them to work
as a team with police of cers. Participants are taught how crime prevention relates to them and how to
anticipate and recognize their crime-risk potential. Citizens are educated and provided information on a
variety of topics, including personal safety, child safety, internet safety, gun safety, identity theft and how
to protect their homes and vehicles from burglary. The Department conducted seven (7) seminars.
Workers On Watch (WOW)
This program encourages the many employees of the Village to remain vigilant and immediately report
any suspicious activity to the police. This program is a cooperative effort between the Department and the
other entities within the Village to help prevent crime and assist with quality of life issues. The department
conducted three (3) Workers on Watch meetings held at Public Works.

Performance Measures
Performance Measures FY 2021
Actual
FY 2022
Projected
FY 2023
Estimated
Number of Inspections 10,118 11,000 10,500
Number of Primary Building Permits Issued 2,523 2,400 2,400
Number of opened Code Enforcement Cases 291 200 175
Number of Code Enforcement Special Cases 72 42 35
Code Compliance Cases: Code Of cers collaborate with residents and businesses in an effort to gain voluntary
compliance through education and alternative code methods, which in turn reduces the number of Magistrate
Hearings. Code compliance activity is expected to stay high in FY 2023 with the addition of two new code
of cer positions, but we have tried to focus on taking fewer cases to the magistrate.
Building Permits: Building permits have had a slight decrease in FY 2022, and are expected to remain at a
similar volume in FY 2023. The number listed re ects only the primary permit issued. No sub permits,
certi cates of completion or changes of contractor are included in the reporting numbers or graph as was
done in years’ past.
Number of Building Inspections: The total number of building inspections has been increasing due to th
steadily rising demand for residential and commercial redevelopment and, as such, is projected to remain hig
in FY 2023. The number of required inspections depends on the complexity and size of the construction project.

Goals and Objectives
In the coming year, the Public Works Department plans to achieve the following goals and objectives:
Strategic Goal: Quality of Life
Department Goal:
Lighthouse Bridge Replacement
Objectives:
a. The current bridge has surpassed its service life.
b. Continue moving forward with the design of the new bridge with replacement occurring in
subsequent scal years.
Department Goal:
Roadway Pavement Rehabilitation
Objectives:
a. Look into pavement preservation management to extend pavement life and improve the
safety/effectiveness of pavement treatments.
b. Portions of Village Roadways are failing and in poor condition overall. The Master Plan highlights it as
an important link with numerous bene ts. The project will cross scal years.
Department Goal:
East Alleyway Wall Replacement
Objectives:
a. Design of the wall, which is in very poor condition, is to be determined. The intent is to use the same,
or similar, design used for the new Anchorage Park Dry Storage area. Signi cant public outreach will
be needed.
b. The project will span across scal years.
Department Goal:
Solid Waste Small Construction Debris Pickup
Objectives:
a. For small home projects done by owners, construction debris is dif cult to pick up. It can
contaminate standard garbage.
b. Solid waste will explore providing collapsible bags for homeowners to place by the swale for pickup
of construction debris.
Department Goal:
Lakeside Park Seawall
Objectives:
a. The southeast seawall is in very poor condition. It simply has so many de ciencies that repair is not
feasible. The seawall is clearly at or near the end of its useful life, and could suffer a structural failure
at any time.
b. Due to very poor condition, the Village has performed engineering for the replacement of the seawall
and intends to pursue reconstruction in the upcoming scal year.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 275
Strategic Goal: People and Organizational Performance
Department Goal:
Public Works Complex Construction and/or move
Objectives:
a. The Old Public Works Complex is outdated, too small, not very functional and located next to a Single
Family Residential zone.
b. The garage is too low to pull in front loaders for repair and maintenance, so this work must be done
outdoors. Village vehicle parking is challenging due to lack of space. If the parking lot lease for next
door is lost, the employees will not have any parking availability. It could be an opportunity to get
Community Development and Public Works under one roof and no longer lease space.
Department Goal:
Implement new Work Order Software
Objectives:
a. The current work order system is not tied to inventory or assets.
b. Initiating new work order software will allow the Department to better manage assets and the costs
associated with maintaining them.
Department Goal:
Solid Waste Ordinance Revision
Objectives:
a. Fix inaccuracies and gaps; improve solid waste services to maintain the level of service (5/week) that
the residents expect.
b. The current code is incorrect and is missing key elements. Started work on the project in 2021.
Improve solid waste services by updating the Code of Ordinances.

Service Work Orders: The Village uses a program named
Facility Dude for work orders that is interactive and allows
for work projection and trend analysis. Numbers
decreased this year as there was less staf ng to perform
work orders.
Fuel Consumption: This graph illustrates fuel usage for the
entire Village eet and assorted machinery and
equipment. When older vehicles are replaced they are
replaced with more fuel ef cient models. There are
additional vehicles that have been added to the eet.

Gas & Plastic Recycling: This graph indicates that glass
and recycling collection may have topped out and efforts
should be made to promote more recycling.
Solid Waste Collection: This graph depicts the number of
tons of garbage and trash collected on an annual basis. The
reduction in solid waste is due to a concerted effort to
enforce the vegetation ordinance where landscapers
remove any vegetation debris they create.
Paper & Cardboard Recycling: Cardboard is going to Solid
Waste Authority for recycling. Additional cardboard
dumpsters have been placed at commercial properties.
Govdeals Sales: This graph shows the amount of Govdeals
Sales. Govdeals is used to sell any surplus items within the

Service Levels Narrative
Library Services in North Palm Beach were rst provided in 1963 by the Library Society in a room in the old
Country Club. With the library growing at a rapid pace, operations were turned over to the Village in 1965. The
decision to build a new library at its current location was made in 1968. A ground breaking ceremony on
October 24, 1968 launched the construction of the new building. Upon completion, Mayor Tom Lewis cut the
ribbon in front of the library during dedication services on October 4, 1969.
The two-story building, described as “modi ed Aztec,” sits behind the Village Hall, off U.S. 1, and includes a
multi-purpose meeting room, a Florida book collection, a genealogy section, the local history & archives, a main
reading area, a children’s library, and a computer lab.
The library is staffed with one (1) Director of Leisure Services, one (1) Library Manager, one (1) Administrative
Coordinator, one (1) Librarian, one (1) Senior Library Assistant, two (2) Library Assistants, and nine (9) part-time
Library Clerks for a total of 11.5 FTE. Staff provide an array of services and programs for patrons of all ages and
abilities, and work hard to keep the library safe, cozy and friendly.
Services are available seven (7) days a week, fty-six (56) hours per week, and many resources such as Mango
Languages, Rosetta Stone, Heritage Quest, MyHeritage, and ebooks and eaudiobooks from cloudLibrary and
Overdrive are accessible 24 /7 through the library’s website.
The library’s collection includes print and media items as well as a number of electronic resources available
through the website. Formats include print, large print, newspapers and magazines, books on CD, DVDs,
ebooks and eaudiobooks, and e-readers containing bestsellers and classics.
The computer lab provides access to twelve (12) Internet computers and offers printing (including wireless and
remote), photocopying, scanning, and faxing services. Microsoft Of ce 2016 is installed on computers and
patrons have in-house access to Ancestry Genealogy and ABCmouse. Wi-Fi is available for free throughout the
building.
The children’s department contains play areas and reading corners, soft seating, two (2) teen rooms, three (3)
large screen TVs for gaming and movies, twelve (12) laptops for afterschool use, toys, games and puzzles.
The Friends of the Library actively support the library’s many programs through fundraising activities and have
been integral to the success of the library in the community since 1982. Since that time, they have raised
thousands of dollars for various library initiatives. In April of 2022, the Friends gifted $30,000 to the library, a new
record.

and print circulation is projected to increase 10%. Circulation of electronic materials grew substantially during
the COVID-19 pandemic. That trend has continued through to today. Circulation of print materials bounced
back as more and more patrons visited the library physically. With class visits from TCS starting again this Fall,
we expect circulation of print materials to grow even more. We also expect a healthy increase in program
attendance as well as meeting room bookings.

Service Levels Narrative
The Village of North Palm Beach commenced a project to rebuild the North Palm Beach Country Club
Clubhouse in June 2018.
The golf course was renovated in 2018 to improve playability for differing skill levels by reshaping some greens,
adjusting the location and size of bunkers and re-grassing the entire course. The project also included the
introduction of Latitude 36 to the tee boxes, fairways and roughs, and the extension of cart paths to reduce
wear on the facility. In 2021, the golf course received numerous accolades. Golf Magazine ranked NPBCC as the
# 20 Muni Golf Course in the USA and the top rated Muni course in Florida. The country club also received the
prestigious Distinguished Golf Destination award from Boardroom magazine and Forbes Travel Guide, which
selects only a few top resorts, semi-private, daily fee and public golf courses recognized as providing a golf
experience at a level attained by only the nest establishment in the world.
The course remains the second public municipal golf course in the United States to bear the prestigious
moniker of a Jack Nicklaus “Signature” Golf Course. The Village’s Nicklaus “Signature” course offers six (6) sets of
tees, so golfers may challenge the course in a manner commensurate to their individual game. The course
plays up to 7,071 yards at a par 71. A putting green is located adjacent to hole number one with a
pitching/chipping green near hole number 15 for golfers to perfect their “short game.” Also, a members-only
short game area on the north side of the maintenance facility is available.
Golf operations are open seven (7) days-a-week, offering individual, group and clinic instruction from on-staff
PGA professionals and a lighted driving range. The golf course operates a select number of tournaments for
members and the local community. In addition, the golf shop offers a variety of merchandise for sale.
The tennis facilities are open seven (7) days-a-week, featuring ten (10) HarTru lighted tennis courts. The tennis
building offers a tennis shop with merchandise and racquet stringing, showers, a multi-purpose room and
of ces. The shop staff assist with scheduling social play, group clinics, private lessons and registration for
special events. There is a weekly schedule of daily activities and a monthly schedule of special events.
The pool facility is open six (6) days-a-week, featuring an L-shaped Olympic-sized pool with six 50-meter lanes,
six 25-yard lanes, a deep diving well with (2) 1M and (1) 3M boards, an interactive splash pad for children, a locker
room with showers and a poolside snack bar. There is a daily and weekly schedule of activities to include NPB
Swim Team, water aerobics, swim lessons, water polo, master's swim and scuba training. With the introduction
of new amenities on the pool deck, the Country Club will partner with Farmer’s Table to introduce a series of
events for residents and members. Featured events will include Monthly Community Dinners, Family FUN
parties, kids’ movie night, cookouts and musical performances.
Our restaurant partner, Farmer’s Table NPB, is open seven (7) days a week, offering an early-morning snack
shack, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The newly added NPB Public House features a casual pub-like
atmosphere featuring a daily happy hour. Private events are held both inside and out, offering lavish wedding
receptions in the Grand Ballroom or casual island-style parties outside near the pool and South Patio. Farmer's
Table will provide a series of events for residents and members, which will include monthly Community
dinners, comedy nights, Yoga, Environmental Wellness and Weekend Jazz Brunch.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 343
Memberships
For the upcoming scal year, a maximum of 190 annual golf memberships has been established to provide
reasonable member access to course play while preserving access for “walk-in” guests during high season and
holidays. A restricted resident membership was created to introduce a limited number of residents to this
program to encourage resident families to join the Club in hopes of upgrading in the future. Available golf
memberships will continue to be prioritized as follows:
Renewal of existing club members, and
Utilization of the Golf Wait List Program:
Effective May 2021, golf operations are only accepting residents for the wait list program.
Beginning in FYE 2022 – we will utilize our Resident First Priority Program
for every resident member that resigns – a resident must replace that membership; and
for every 4 non-residents that resign – they will be replaced by 3 residents and 1 non-resident
Organizational Structure
Oversight of the Country Club facility is headed by the General Manager (GM) who supervises all staff and
oversees the daily operation. The GM manages contracts associated with golf operations, golf course
maintenance, tennis and pool facilities, as well as, the restaurant and banquet facility. The GM is also
responsible for business development and marketing functions. One (1) full-time Executive Assistant and one
(1) full-time Accountant assists the General Manager with the day-to-day operations of the Country Club,
including processing payroll and invoices, correspondence with contractors and consultants, scheduling
meetings, performing research, of ce management, answering inquiries from the public and overseeing all
country club social media and marketing platforms to include Village website maintenance as it relates to the
country club.
The golf operation is led by a full-time Head Golf Professional. In addition to the Head Pro, the golf organization
includes two (2) full-time Assistant Golf Professionals, one (1) full-time teaching professional, one (1) full-time
Member Relations Coordinator, one (1) full-time Golf Shop Attendant, one (1) part-time Golf Merchandising
Assistant and twenty- ve (25) part-time Country Club Attendants.
The tennis operation is led by one (1) full-time Tennis Center Manager. In addition to the Tennis Manager, the
tennis operation also includes six (6) part-time tennis attendants, one (1) camp counselor, one (1) part-time
Head Tennis Pro and seven (7) part-time USPTA or USPTR certi ed instructors.
The pool operation is led by an independent contractor. In addition to the independent contractor, the pool
operation also includes three (3) part-time pool attendants and fteen (15) part-time and seasonal lifeguards.
One (1) full-time Head Lifeguard reports to the GM and coordinates with the Independent Contractor.
Historically, the maintenance of the club building, tennis and pool has been assigned to the Public Works
Department. In FY 2020, the Village hired one (1) full-time Trades Mechanic who is responsible for the
maintenance of the Country Club buildings, which include the Clubhouse, Tennis, Pool, Driving Range
restrooms and Golf Course Maintenance building. In FY2023, this full-time position was re-classed to a Facilities
Maintenance Technician to better ful ll the responsibilities of maintaining the country club campus and
reporting directly to the GM.
To improve ef ciency and offer a higher level of service, the Village has outsourced ground maintenance of the
golf course and tennis courts. Golf course maintenance services are outsourced to BrightView, which affords a
higher level of conditioning on the Nicklaus “Signature” course layout and realizes a signi cant monetary
savings to the Village. BrightView was hired in the summer of 2019 and has demonstrated their ability and
commitment to giving our members and visitors a much improved gol ng experience. To maintain the
“Signature” course, however, the proposed Golf Operations budget re ects funding for irrigation, trees and sod
which supports the “ ne tuning” of the golf course as it moves into its third and nal phase of the “grow-in” (re-
grassing plan from 2018) season of play. The tennis courts are maintained by Splash & Swing, Inc. Janitorial
services and landscaping services for the country club facilities are outsourced as well.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 344

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 377
Capital Improvement Plan Narrative
INTRODUCTION
Municipal government provides needed and desired services to the public and in order to provide these
services, the Village must furnish and maintain capital facilities and equipment. This is accomplished through
the use of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The CIP is a ve-year projection of future improvements to existing facilities, the acquisition of land and
buildings, construction of new facilities and major equipment purchases. This includes the regular
replacement of equipment such as vehicles and computer hardware/software. The Village Council adopts the
ve-year plan as a part of the annual budgeting process. The ve years of the CIP lists the capital projects
that will be done and their estimated cost…funding requirements are identi ed, but are not authorized.
The Village of North Palm Beach de nes a “capital outlay” as the cost(s) associated with the acquisition of land,
land improvements, buildings, building improvements, construction in progress, machinery and equipment,
vehicles and infrastructure, and other tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have an
initial useful life extending beyond a single reporting period. Capital assets and infrastructure are capitalized
and depreciated as outlined in the capitalization table below:
Capitalization Threshold Table:
Capitalize and
Depreciate
Land Capitalize only
Land improvements $25,000
Building $50,000
Building Improvements $50,000
Construction in Progress Capitalize only
Machinery & Equipment $5,000
Vehicle $5,000
Intangible Assets:
Internally Generated
Software
$100,000
Purchased Software $25,000
Easements $5,000
Other Intangible
Assets
$100,000
Infrastructure $250,000
The plan places projects in priority order, and schedules the projects for funding and implementation. As
presented, it is a ve-year forecast that allows the Village to plan ahead for its new capital and renewal and
replacement needs. Programming capital requirements over time can promote better use of the Village’s
nancial resources, reduce costs and assist in the coordination of public and private development. Careful
management of its assets keeps the Village poised for exible and responsive strategic planning that allows the
Village to proactively prepare the groundwork for capital projects, so when funding opportunities arise, a plan
is ready to be implemented. By looking beyond year-to-year budgeting and projecting what, where, when and
how capital investments should be made, capital planning enables the Village to maintain an effective level of
service for the present and future population.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The result of this continuing planning process is the CIP, which is the Village’s ve-year roadmap for creating,
maintaining, and funding present and future capital requirements. The CIP serves as a planning instrument in
conjunction with the Village Comprehensive Plan and the Village Council’s goals to identify needed capital
projects and coordinate the nancing and timing of improvements in a way that maximizes the return to the
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 378
public. It provides a planned systematic approach to utilizing the Village's nancial resources in the most
responsive and ef cient manner to meet its service and facility needs. It serves as the “blueprint” for the future
of the community and is a management and planning tool.
The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for capital expenditures necessary for the safe and ef cient
provision of public services in accordance with Village policies and objectives adopted in the Village’s
Comprehensive Plan. It involves conducting needs assessments and allowing for exibility to take advantage of
opportunities for capital investment. Capital planning decisions are made based on an analysis of each project
which includes: cost versus bene ts, capital renewal strategies, repair-versus-replacement costs and new
service demands. A critical element of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to both preserve or enhance
existing facilities and provide new assets to respond to changing service needs.
While the program serves as the long range plan, it is reviewed and revised annually in conjunction with the
budget. Projects and their scopes are subject to change as the needs of the community become more de ned
and projects move closer to nal implementation. Priorities may be changed due to funding opportunities or
circumstances that cause a more rapid deterioration of an asset. Projects may be revised for signi cant costing
variances.
The adoption of the CIP is neither a commitment to a particular project nor a limitation to a particular cost. As
a basic tool for scheduling anticipated capital projects, it is a key element in planning and controlling future
capital nancing. When adopted, the CIP provides the framework for the Village’s management team and the
Village Council with respect to investment planning, project planning and managing any debt.
CIP REVIEW
The Village Manager is responsible for reviewing capital project requests and providing recommendations to
the Village Council. Each department submits requests for its capital funding requirements to the Village
Manager. These requests could be for something as minor as the purchase of a piece of equipment for the
complete rebuild/new installation of a piece of infrastructure.
The Village Manager, along with the Finance Director and Department Head, conduct an in-depth analysis of
the impact of the CIP on cash ow and nancial obligations, as well as the Village’s ability to nance, process,
design and ultimately maintain projects. The scal impact of each individual project (including future
maintenance and replacement costs) is also analyzed. The overall goal is to develop CIP recommendations that:
Preserve the past, by investing in the continued upgrade of village assets and infrastructure;
Protect the present with improvements to village facilities and infrastructure;
Plan for the future.
CIP CRITERIA & CATEGORIES
The CIP is developed through input by professional staff, citizens of North Palm Beach, and elected Village
of cials. There are typically more proposals than can be funded in the ve-year CIP period, so the projects are
evaluated and ranked in order of priority according to the following guidelines:
a. Whether the proposed project is nancially feasible, in terms of its potential impact upon the village
budget;
b. Whether the project is needed to protect public health and safety, to ful ll the Village’s legal commitment
to provide facilities and services, or to preserve, achieve full use of, or increase the ef ciency of existing
facilities;
c. Whether the project represents a logical extension of facilities and services within a designated Village
Planning Area; and
d. Whether or not the proposed project is consistent with the plans of state agencies and the South Florida
Water Management.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 379
Further, the projects are broken down into the following categories:
. The project is urgent and/or mandated, and must be completed quickly. The Village could face severe
consequences if the project is delayed, possibly impacting the public health, safety, and welfare of the
community, or having a signi cant impact on the nancial well-being of the Village. The project must be
initiated or nancial/opportunity losses will result.
. The project is important and addressing it is necessary. The project affects safety, law enforcement, public
health, welfare, economic base, and/or quality of life in the community.
. The project would enhance the quality of life and would provide a bene t to the community. Completion
of the project would improve the community by providing cultural, recreational, and/or aesthetic effects.
. The project would be an improvement for the community, but need not be completed within a ve-year
CIP.
Based on the criteria and category, the project is either included in the CIP or excluded.
CIP POLICIES
The Village will update the CIP annually and make every attempt to complete all capital improvements in
accordance with the plan.
The Village will coordinate the development of the CIP budget with the development of the operating
budget to ensure future operating expenditures and revenues associated with new capital improvements
will be projected and incorporated into the current and future operating budgets.
The Village will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the Village’s capital investment
and minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
In making or providing for capital improvements, The Village shall not incur a general obligation debt
requiring the full faith and credit and taxing power of the Village that exceeds ve (5%) of the property tax
base of the Village. For Fiscal Year 2023, this amounts to $148 million (tax base of $2.96 billion). The Village
has no general obligation debt.
CIP FINANCING/FUNDING ALTERNATIVES
Capital improvements may be funded by a variety of means depending on the nature of the project, availability
of funds, and the policies of Village Council. Financing decisions are made based on established Village policies
and available nancing options directly related to project timing and choice of revenue sources. The funding
methodology for the CIP is reliant upon available resources including regular operating funds, funds from
grants and user fees, useful life of the improvement, and sharing the costs between current and future users.
While some projects can be delayed until funds from existing revenues are available, others cannot. The Village
explores all options such as ad valorem taxes, grants, developer contributions, user fees, bonds, loans, and
undesignated reserves to fund improvements. The following nancing sources are available to fund the CIP:
Ad Valorem Taxes: The Village does not use these funds as a debt security due largely to the required
electoral approval (voter referendum) prior to issuance. Property taxes are directly linked to the assessed
value of individual property, not to the consumption of speci c goods and services.
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues: These types of revenues can be pledged to support various types of bond
issues. Such bonds are similar to general obligation bonds in that proceeds are often used for general
government purposes and repayment is unrelated to the revenue generating capacity of the project
being nanced. However, unlike general obligation bonds, non-ad valorem revenue bonds are payable
solely from revenues derived from the pledged revenue (such as sales tax, local option fuel tax, and the
guaranteed portion of municipal sharing).
Non-Ad Valorem Assessments: These revenues are special assessments on the property tax bill for services
or infrastructure that affect the property (not based on property value).
User Fees and Charges: These revenues include a variety of license and permit fees, facility and program
fees, and nes. They are rarely used as debt security for non-enterprise fund capital projects, but could be
a source of direct funding for a small capital improvement.
Enterprise Fund User Fees: These revenues are derived from self-supporting business enterprises which
provide services in return for compensation. The enterprise revenue used to secure debt is commonly
termed “net-revenue”, consisting of gross revenues less operating costs.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 380
Note: A written, short-term promise to repay a speci ed amount of principal and interest on a certain date,
payable from a de ned source of anticipated revenue. Usually, notes mature in one year or less. Rarely
used by the Village.
Commercial Paper: Generally de ned as short term, unsecured promissory notes issued by organizations
of recognized credit quality, usually a bank. Rarely used by the Village.
Grant: Contribution or gift of cash or other asset from another government to be used or expended for a
speci c purpose, activity or facility.
Developer Contributions: Monies paid by developers in lieu of land dedications. These contributions are
used for parks and recreational purposes.
Infrastructure Surtax Proceeds: On November 8, 2016, PBC voters approved a one-cent sales surtax, raising
the sales tax from 6 to 7% effective January 1, 2017. The use of surtax proceeds is restricted to, among other
things, the nancing, planning and construction of infrastructure. The surtax sunsets on December 31,
2026.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Funds: Periodically, General Fund budgetary savings at scal year-end are
transferred to the Village’s Capital Projects Fund as “CIP Funds”. These savings roll over from year to year
and are utilized for funding the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); this process reduces the impact
of the CIP on the Village’s Annual General Fund Budget and millage rate. Village Council approval is
required for both the transfer and use of CIP Funds.
Unassigned Fund Balance: Fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and has not been
restricted, committed or assigned to speci c purposes within the general fund.
Bond: An issuer ’s obligation to repay a principal amount on a certain date (maturity date) with interest at
a stated rate. Bonds are distinguishable from notes in that notes mature in a much shorter time period.
General Obligation Bonds: A bond secured by the full faith and credit of the Village’s ad valorem
taxing power. These are not used by the Village due to the requirement for a voter referendum.
Revenue Bonds: Bonds payable from a speci c revenue source, not the full faith and credit of an
issuer’s taxing power and require no electoral approval. Pledged revenues are often generated by
the operating or project being nanced.
The administrative ability to seek and utilize the best possible source, or combination of sources, from the
various alternatives for nancing capital Improvements can maximize the Village’s Capital Improvement Plan,
saving the cost of inef ciencies, which occur from not adequately addressing capital needs. The future
development, growth and general well-being of our citizens are directly related to an affordable and realistic
Capital Improvement Plan.
THE CIP SCHEDULE AND PROJECT LISTS
The CIP includes a comprehensive listing of all projects contained in the Five-Year CIP. Projects included in the
CIP were evaluated based on the criteria mentioned above. Application of these criteria ensures that each
project recommended for Council consideration does indeed support the policy objectives of the Village’s long-
term planning documents and identi es a basis for scheduling and allocation of resources. The Fiscal Year
2023-2027 CIP recommends a total investment of $26.51 million in the Village of North Palm Beach’s
capital facilities and equipment during a ve-year period.
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 381
Capital Improvements: Mul ti-year Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a ve-year projection of future improvements to existing facilities, the
acquisition of land and buildings, construction of new facilities and major equipment purchases. This includes
the regular replacement of equipment such as vehicles and computer hardware/software. The Village Council
adopts the ve-year plan as a part of the annual budgeting process. The ve years of the CIP lists the capital
projects that will be done and their estimated cost. Funding requirements are identi ed, but are not
authorized.

The capital projects identi ed in the Village's CIP don’t have a signi cant impact on the Village’s operating
budget. The majority of the projects are considered maintenance of infrastructure or equipment replacement
or purchase. There may be operating ef ciencies or avoidance of future costs that result from the capital
projects, but these impacts are not presently quanti able and are believed to be marginal.

DEBT
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 398
Debt Overview
The Village has limited its borrowing to prudent levels that are able to be covered through existing revenue and
cash ow projections. The Village utilizes debt nancing on large expenditures for capital projects. When
establishing debt, there are a number of factors to be considered in the process. These factors include:
the long-term needs of the Village
the amount of resources available to repay the debt
There are a few ways for the Village to achieve debt nancing. The Council considers the asset’s useful life and
current economic conditions to determine the appropriate nancing instrument. Some nancing options
available to the Village include:
bank loan
lease agreements (capital lease or operating lease)
inter-fund loan
issue special revenue bonds (pledged by a speci c revenue source and limited by available revenue)
issue general obligation bonds (require voter referendum approval)
The Village Charter and the Constitution of the State of Florida do not provide for a legal debt limit. However, in
regards to capital improvements, the Village has adopted a policy to limit general obligation debt (debt
pledging payment from ad valorem taxes which must be approved by referendum) to an amount that does
not exceed ve (5%) percent of the property tax base of the Village. For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, this would
amount to $148 million (tax base of $2.96 billion) in available general obligation debt. The Village has no
outstanding General Obligation debt.
Outstanding Debt
The Village has two loan obligations and an inter-fund loan outstanding. In addition, The Village has entered
into capital lease agreements for the purpose of nancing the purchase of vehicles. A brief description of each
outstanding debt instrument and its annual debt service requirement to maturity is listed below:

Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The current kitchen and bathrooms are original to the building, having been completed in 1999. These spaces were designed
for a smaller daily user count and use during disasters was not factored. Cabinet and counter space are inadequate to serve
the present use. All appliances, with the exception of the dishwasher, are original. The oor tile is cracked in places and the
cabinets are in disrepair. This remodel will enhance operations and boost employee morale.

A littoral plant can be de ned as any aquatic plant along a lake shoreline. Littoral zones provide a key habitat for wading
birds, sh and other aquatic invertebrate to forage or nd refuge in. Water quality has been a major issue in South Florida
and littorals act as a lter marsh to improve water quality and prevent algae growth. The aquatic plants also help stabilize
shorelines, which can prevent dangerous erosion problems. Finally, the plants can provide an aesthertically pleasing view
with its array of owers ranging in colors and natural beauty.

This infrastructure enhancement will reduce the amount and expense of emergency repairs. Emergency repairs divert
human and nancial resources from other course maintenance priorities. Additionally, the diversion of resources as well as
the degradation of the golf experience impacts the organizations' ability to deliver ef cient and valued services.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The project will protect the pond banks and tee box #5 from erosion. Latitude grass has a weak root system and some pond
banks are suffering from erosion as a result. This project would stabilize approximately 5,000 linear feet of pond banks. Bank
stabilization will assist in the reduction of emergency repairs and maintenance costs and provide golfers with an enhanced

Comments
Originally, the scope of this project was much larger and focused on a complete renovation of the front lobby. However, in
FY18/ FY19, measures were taken to address needed repairs and safety issues related to the front steps, and these improved
the entryway dramatically. Measures included reinforcing the front steps with steel brackets and removing old treads and
installing new commercial grade heavy-duty rubber treads with a safety feature strip to prevent tripping hazards.

Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The Anchorage Park Master Plan includes improvements that enhance the function and aesthetics of the entire park. An
element of this Plan is to replace the seawall on the south side of the boat ramp - which is in poor condition currently. The
north side of the marina was renovated in FY2019 and included a new seawall, oating docks, walking trail, shelter and
landscaping. Ultimately, a scope of work similar to that on the north side of the marina will be implemented on the south
side of the boat ramp as well. It will also include adding a day trailer parking lot on the south side.
Comments
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 452
The Village Engineer recommends a design similar to the north seawall and marina to provide a preliminary opinion of
probable costs for the marina construction. A decision will need to be made on whether oating or xed docks should be
constructed, and the possibility of installing boat lifts vetted.
Operating Impact
Due to Strategic Plan prioritization and budget constraints, this project will be planned (Floating versus xed docks) and
then engineered. However, construction will not occur until funding source(s) are secured. If the south seawall fails before
this can occur, we may need to reprioritize the CIP and move the project up on the schedule. This is why the planning and
engineering is being completed, so we are ready to go out to bid immediately if needed.
Grant Information
LWCF / FIND Grant (50/50); Grant can only be used for seawall, shelter, landscaping and trash cans/benches.
We cannot use Grant on wet slips.

The project will allow the Village to avoid an emergency purchase and having to remove windows to install temporary A/C
units. The Library is heavily used by residents and is considered a valuable asset to the community. Replacement of the a/c
will allow the Village to continue to deliver services without disruption and/or risk of damage to the building or materials.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The A/C System Air Handler on the second oor of the Library is the originally installed system (1968). This system requires
R22 Refrigerant which is no longer produced. If the system leaks or has a compressor failure, the second story A/C unit will
no longer be able to dehumidify the area. Additionally, the compressor units and electrical system has been found to be
undersized as staff has worked on developing the scope of this project. This is a proactive measure that must be taken to
ensure that the Library is able to remain open and no damage occurs to any materials inside the building.
Comments
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 503
The scope has expanded since this project was originally conceived as a replacement of the air handlers. It is now
anticipated that the existing compressor units will be replaced by a 30-ton unit, electric service will be upsized, a new
mounting pad and wall will be installed, air handler and asbestos removal from the second oor crawl space, interior repairs
following removal of the air handler, landscaping, and engineering services.
Operating Impact
There may be operating ef ciencies or avoidance of future costs that result from the improvements, but these impacts are
not presently quanti able and are believed to be marginal.
Grant Information
Grant funding will be provided by monies from the American Rescue Plan Act (air quality).

The Public Works Department is critical to the Village. The Department constructs, repairs and maintains all of the publicly
owned property and touches every private property within the Village through its Solid Waste Collection services. Having a
rightsized complex will allow for more effective, ef cient and safe operations.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The site is constrained and does not allow for ef cient operations. For example, the garage is too low to pull in Front Loaders
for repair and maintenance so this work must be done outside. Village vehicle parking is limited and restrictive -- sanitation
vehicles are parked adjacent to residential properties and staff is dependent upon neighboring properties for parking.
Stormwater is not currently maintained on site and impacts adjacent properties.
Comments
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 516
This project has been under discussion for many years. The Village made an offer to purchase the Palm Beach Gardens
Public Works Complex for $2.5M in 2018, which exceeded the appraised value of $2.26M, but was out bid. Other options for
relocation are being explored. However, if no relocation options are available, the property should be evaluated and
recon gured to better use the limited space.
Operating Impact
There may be operating ef ciencies or avoidance of future costs that result from the improvements, but these impacts are
not presently quanti able and are believed to be marginal.

The Public Works complex oods during rain events and the wash rack for the vehicles no longer functions. This project will
help protect expensive Public Works vehicles and equipment and prevent stormwater and water from maintenance
activities from discharging onto adjacent properties.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
Following a rain event, Public Works' trucks and equipment sit in water which causes damage (i.e. wheels start to rust, water
penetrating wheel bearings) and employees must wear rain boots and stand on pallets to enter vehicles as the yard is served
only by a single French drain. Vacuum trucks are hired to pump out the yard after rain events. The wash rack, which is used
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 522
for sanitation vehicles, drains untreated and over ows onto the asphalt when it oods. A properly working wash rack is an
NPDES best management practice and a new stormwater system will improve the longevity of the Village's trucks and heavy
equipment, ensure the safety of all employees and protect the environment.

The seawall at Lakeside Park is showing signs of deterioration and requires replacement. The replacement will be necessary
to maintain needed infrastructure that will preserve the park and prevent impacts to water access to residential properties
that share the canal.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
Due to the very poor condition of the seawall, particularly the southeast section, engineering was completed in 2020 in case
the seawall fails and an emergency repair is needed. Part of the project scope is a "living seawall" to protect and promote
water quality. The seawall is clearly at or near the end of its useful life, and could suffer a structural failure at any time,
especially during a severe rain event or during a sudden recession of the water level in the lake (such as from waves or a drop
from an unusually high tide to a relatively low tide).
Comments
Village of North Palm Beach | Budget Book 2023 Page 525
Staff recommendations are based upon an engineering study completed in December 2017 to assess damage at Lakeside
Park after Hurricane Irma. The canal side seawall will need to be addressed as well.

A breakdown of the cost estimate by phase.
Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
This area that is unserved by sanitary sewer system will eventually fail, allowing untreated sewage to leach into surface
waters and private groundwater wells. Malfunctioning septic systems can release bacteria, viruses and chemicals toxic to
local waterways. The conversion will improve the water quality along the Earman River.
Comments
It is anticipated that this project will be completed in two phases. The rst phase will include Lorraine Court, Conroy Drive,
and Honey Road. The roads, Richard Road and Hinda Lane, are included as a second phase and would not be completed by

Need, Justi cation, Bene ts
The court lighting system is over 20 years old and not adequate for standard tennis play. The courts are used for night play
throughout the year by members, residents, and guests. With this project, the lighting on the courts would be uniform and
dark areas would be eliminated. Most importantly, several light boxes are no longer stable and spin in high winds; this is a
safety risk as the boxes each weigh 270 pounds.
Drainage on the courts is hindered in certain areas due to the improper location of bottom rails and mesh. The rails have
dropped lower over the years and some rest on the court surface, which prevents the courts from draining properly. This has
resulted in additional maintenance in order to remove algae accumulation.

Seek grants and/or capital lease arrangements through lighting product suppliers.
Operating Impact
There may be operating ef ciencies or avoidance of future costs that result from the improvements, but these impacts are
not presently quanti able and are believed to be marginal. It is estimated that with replacement, the total energy usage
reduction would be approximately 82% and the CO2 emissions would be reduced by approximately 516 tons.
