This report is published to provide the Village Council, Village staff, our citizens, our lenders, and other interested parties with detailed information concerning the financial condition and activities of the Village government. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Village. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are organized in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the Village as measured by the financial activity of its various funds. We also believe that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the Village's financial affairs have been included. THE REPORT Nowlen, Holt & Miner, P.A., Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the Village of North Palm Beach’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2019. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. The CAFR’s role is to assist in making economic, social, and political decisions and in assessing accountability to the citizenry by: • comparing actual financial results with the legally adopted budget, where appropriate; • assessing financial condition and results of operations; • determining compliance with finance-related laws, rules and regulations; and • evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of Village operations. ii VILLAGE PROFILE The Village The Village of North Palm Beach is primarily a residential community, having been incorporated as a political subdivision of the State of Florida in 1956. The registered population of the Village is approximately 12,177, which increases to approximately 18,000 during the winter months by residents who list their northern homes as their official place of residence. Residents are generally in the middle to upper income brackets. Located in the northeastern quadrant of Palm Beach County, Florida, the Village is known for its abundance of waterfront property (lakes, canals, and the Atlantic Ocean) as well as other assets: Country Club with a golf course, driving range, pool, tennis courts and restaurant; four parks; marina; library; police and fire rescue stations; and a public elementary school. The governing body of the Village consists of a five-member Village Council, each of whom is elected to two-year overlapping terms. The Mayor is selected by majority vote of the Council and serves for a term of one year. Day-to- day affairs of the Village are under the leadership of the Village Manager who is appointed by the Council. FINANCIAL DATA Financial Reporting System and Budgetary Controls The Village's financial records for its general governmental operations are maintained on the modified accrual basis, which means that revenues are recorded when available and measurable and expenditures are reported when goods and services are received and the related liabilities are incurred. Financial reporting for its Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Country Club operation) is presented using the full accrual basis of accounting required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for its annual financial report. The Country Club annual budget is adopted using a modified accrual basis of accounting (identical to the general government operations mentioned above) which is consistent with how general ledger financial records are maintained throughout the year by the Village administration. In developing and evaluating the Village's financial and accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls which are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: (a) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and (b) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (a) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (b) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the Village's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. The Village of North Palm Beach maintains budgetary controls through the annual budget public hearing and approval process for GAAP-based budgets. The formal budget approval for each fiscal year is accomplished in a manner compliant with Florida State Statute 200.065, commonly referred to as Truth- in-Millage (TRIM). iii The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the fund level. 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 year end; however, encumbrances specifically designated to be carried over to the subsequent year are re-appropriated in the following year. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK Property Values The Village obtains a major portion of its annual General Fund financial resources (63%) from ad valorem property taxes. Gross assessed property values increased substantially between the years 2002 through 2006, but slowed significantly in 2007. In years 2008 through 2012, area property values declined in value, in many instances significantly, as a result of the economic downturn. This unprecedented decline in property values was exacerbated by the number of properties in various stages of foreclosure. Both of these real-estate issues have had an adverse impact upon the financial resources of the Village. However, there has been significant residential property investment in the community over the past few years. Both the State and South Florida, in particular, are enjoying resurgence in real estate activity, which has translated into annual gains in market prices for area homes. The Village continues to pursue annexation of surrounding unincorporated areas that complement and enhance the services and values of our existing community. The focus of Village annexation efforts will be to provide exemplary municipal services that are revenue “neutral” to both the annexed areas and to the Village. Investment Revenues The economic downturn and softening of the money market have had a significant impact on Village investment revenues over the past few years. In the short-term, the Village made a conscious decision to modify its investment strategies towards the Treasury market to better protect and ensure the availability of the Village’s investment balances. This move proved successful in safeguarding Village investments during this market free fall but impacted the interest/dividend revenues to the Village. The Village, with the assistance of the Village’s Audit Committee, adopted a “revised” Investment Policy designed to provide safety and liquidity while maximizing investment return(s). The newly adopted policy provided numerous investment strategies, parameters, and safeguards. The policy additionally provided for 1/12 of the annual operating budget to be deposited in a liquid interest-bearing account so as not to impede operations should other funds be temporarily unavailable. The Audit Committee and staff, along with the Village’s Investment Advisor, continue to explore other investment opportunities that will improve yields in future years while still ensuring the safety of our investments. Personnel Costs The Village will continue to face increased financial challenges in the areas of personnel costs for both salaries and benefits. In past years, several retirement plan amendments were implemented by the Village and then followed by significant salary adjustments that magnified the impact and cost of the retirement changes. The impact of these changes as well as the continuous improvement in the financial markets have had a very positive financial impact on both plans. Due to legislative changes and catastrophic claims losses, the Village has encountered significant increases in annual health insurance costs during the past few years. In 2018, the Village introduced a high deductible insurance plan along with funding health saving accounts, is exploring the use of contractual health clinic services for its employees and will continue its focus on Employee Wellness as a measure to help control health care costs and improve our opportunity for additional savings from our providers. iv The impact of personnel salaries and benefits in the coming years will have a broad and continuing effect on future Village financing and service priorities in the areas of staffing, public services, and public projects. Approximately 64% of the annual budget is allotted for wages and fringe benefits. INITIATIVES AND FUTURE PROJECTS The FY 2020 budget reflects a renewed commitment and predictable funding for community infrastructure in areas such as roadways, neighborhood sidewalks, lighting, public buildings, and park facilities. Following a period of deferred maintenance activities during the recession, the use of revenue from a County-wide sales surtax is facilitating the Village’s ability to develop a financially feasible capital program. The Community Development Department provides Planning and Zoning, Code Compliance and Building services. The Department continues to strive to improve its level of services for plan reviews, building inspections, code enforcement and zoning compliance. The Department will move ahead with the conversion of paper records to electronic records storage, resulting in a significant savings of staff’s time and effort in records retrieval. In 2016, following the completion of a design charrette process in which North Palm Beach residents described their vision for the community’s future, the Village adopted the Citizens’ Master Plan. It is anticipated that a viable Master Plan that identifies the highest and best use of properties on U.S. 1 and Northlake Boulevard will encourage investment in the community that will create an enhanced sense of place, active uses and an increase in Village revenues. The Village is actively implementing the Master Plan strategies as well as undertaking additional planning initiatives to include the Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the Comprehensive Plan. Significant initiatives include the creation of a form-based code to encourage redevelopment in the Village’s commercial corridors, which will be completed in 2020, the study of the US1 Corridor to determine if two of the roadway’s six lanes should be repurposed for landscaping and/or bicycle and pedestrian traffic and the redesign of the US1 and Prosperity Farms Road Bridges to serve as architectural features signaling the entry into the community. The Parks and Recreation Department continues to offer programs for all age groups at each of its six (6) facilities. Anchorage Park will host diverse events in the upcoming year to include: movies in the park, food truck nights, organized volleyball leagues, the Village’s annual fishing tournament, and Heritage Day. The North Palm Beach Country Club Pool and Tennis facilities plan to offer a wide variety of leagues, training opportunities and tournaments as well as the July 4th fireworks program and a 5k race. In addition, the Department will provide youth sports training and leagues in baseball, soccer, flag football, volleyball, lacrosse and basketball. The Department will continue to sponsor bus trips throughout the year, ranging from local day activities to weekend excursions to Key West. The Department will review all of its programming and facilities as part of a Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment, which is scheduled to be completed during the fiscal year. The Public Works Department is tasked with the oversight and management of Village sanitation services and maintenance of the Village’s infrastructure, parks, buildings, equipment, and the roadways. The Department’s current focus is on enhancing infrastructure maintenance standards and meeting the community’s expectation regarding the appearance of public spaces during the coming year. Department staff will also be analyzing all critical infrastructure needs in our facilities and throughout the community to determine future project priorities and identify opportunities to improve performance through the use of best maintenance practices. Public Works will address currently identified infrastructure projects such as drainage improvements, road maintenance, and parks improvements in the five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). v The Police Department has focused on improvements in community policing/neighborhood outreach by conducting community meetings and high visibility directed patrols that incorporate a high rate of officer interaction with Village residents. The Department continues to emphasize the importance of reducing crime in the Village through the use of advanced technology to analyze crime trends and deter future crime using predictive policing concepts. Additional crime suppression and community engagement efforts through the use of Transitional Neighborhood Teams and the interdepartmental Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET). Two full-time officers were funded in the FY 2018 budget in order to create this program, which allows officers and other members of the NET team to concentrate their efforts in neighborhoods requiring assistance in achieving their quality of life goals. The Department continues to benchmark itself against the best policing practices by participating in the CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) accreditation process. The Department was re-accredited in July, 2017. Fire Rescue has experienced an annual increase in calls for service since 2011 with the majority (77%) being medical in nature. The Department continues to support the annual Hands-Only CPR initiative as a charter provider. The fire inspector provides existing business inspections, fire code enforcement, and plans review and site inspections of new projects. This proactive approach to fire prevention has resulted in decreased incidents of commercial responses. Through the CIP, the Department anticipates replacing older apparatus on a rolling schedule that will allow it to maintain high quality service to the Village’s residents and guests. The Human Resources Department is committed to fostering a work environment that attracts quality applicants and encourages employees to perform at the highest level in support of the Village's goals and objectives. In accordance with the Council's direction to "continuously improve the way the Village operates", the Department establishes policies and procedures that are consistent across all administrative functions while remaining current, relevant and compliant with local, state and federal labor and personnel laws. Having implemented a new performance evaluation system for personnel in the Fire Rescue Department in 2016, Human Resources expanded the pay for performance initiative to encompass other employee groups in 2017, specifically to include Police Department personnel. The Department will enhance the initiative’s effectiveness by focusing evaluation criteria on those that best measure employees’ adherence to the organization’s values, their ability to perform their key functions and, in some cases, their display of extraordinary effort or innovation to achieve the Village Council’s goals for the organization or the community. In addition, Human Resources will focus on offering diverse training programs and related opportunities to staff members in the areas of Business Etiquette and Professionalism, Cultural Diversity, Conflict Resolution, Office Safety, Progressive Discipline, Drug- Free/Alcohol-Free Workplace, and Leadership skills.. Lastly, the Department, in its role of managing Workers' Compensation (W/C) cases in conjunction with the W/C insurance carrier, is working with the Gehring Group's risk management team, as well as the newly established Employee Safety Committee, to seek solutions to reduce instances of injury, lower W/C costs and provide a more positive claims experience for all stakeholders. The Library is currently streamlining processes and procedures, upgrading outdated equipment, and reorganizing various departments. Additionally, renovations within the Library to create a better experience for children and teens were recently completed. The Information Technology Department has been involved in numerous projects over the last year: preparing the Village for Phase Two of the LPR (License Plate Recognition) systems, Police laptop encryption, Country Club renovation and installations for temporary facilities, Library computer lab automation, and upgrading the Village’s phone system. The IT Department also implemented ArchiveSocial to retrieve and archive all of the Village’s social media outlets. vi The North Palm Beach Country Club recently completed a $19 million dollar reconstruction that includes a new clubhouse and ancillary facilities for members, residents, guests and the general public. The new facility introduces a successful independent restaurant, Farmer’s Table, as its new caterer and food and beverage provider, a splash park for juniors, updated administrative offices, a new pool deck with updated shade structures, multipurpose rooms, locker rooms and an updated golf shop sizable to the demand of a golf course that supports approximately 42,000+ annual rounds. The goal of the Golf Operations Department is to provide first class service at the Jack Nicklaus Signature municipal facility and expand upon its broad range of programming to juniors, women, seniors, beginners, families as well as avid golfers. The Clubhouse opened in December, 2019. The Golf Operations Department also worked with Nicklaus Design Group to implement a project to renovate the golf course and upgrade the driving range turf and lighting at a cost of $1.7 million. The driving range opened in February, 2019. The course opened to members and guests in mid-March and opened to the public in April, 2019. For Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the Village Council reiterated its primary objective to sustain the Village as the “Best Place to Live Under the Sun.” As part of that objective, the Council developed the following goals to guide the budget process: 1. Financial Sustainability 2. Beautification and Quality of Life 3. All Neighborhoods as Desirable Places to Live 4. Waterways and Recreation 5. Strong Local Economy 6. Improve Mobility 7. Organizational Excellence OTHER INFORMATION Independent Audit Article 11, Section 2.18 of the Village Charter requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial records and transactions of all administrative departments of the Village by independent, certified public accountants selected by the Village Council. To substantiate that this requirement has been met, the independent auditor's report is included in this report. Awards The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Village of North Palm Beach for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the 31st consecutive year the Village has received this award. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award, recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both GAAP and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We expect our current CAFR will meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. vii The GFOA also presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Village for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018, the 11th consecutive year the Village has received this award (previously this award had not been received since 1995). The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is a prestigious national award that recognizes conformance with the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communication device. Acknowledgements The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services from the entire staff of the Finance Department. We would like to thank the Mayor and Council for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Village of North Palm Beach’s finances.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. 2 Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida as of September 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 4 through 13, Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit trend information on pages 78 through 84, and budgetary comparison information on pages 85 through 86 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, other supplementary information, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. 3 The other supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the other supplemental information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section and Statistical Section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 11, 2020, on our consideration of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. West Palm Beach, Florida March 11, 2020 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s (Village) Administration offers readers of the Village's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Village for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter beginning on page i, and the accompanying basic financial statements.

The three components of the financial statements are: (1) Government-wide financial statements that include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. These statements provide information about the activities of the Village as a whole. (2) Fund financial statements tell how these services were financed in the short term, as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Village's operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the Village's most significant funds. (3) Notes to the basic financial statements expand upon information reported in the government- wide and governmental fund statements. REPORTING ON THE VILLAGE AS A WHOLE Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities (Government-wide) A frequently asked question regarding the Village's financial health is whether the year's activities contributed positively to the overall financial well being. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the Village as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid. 5 These two statements report the Village's net position and changes therein. Net position, the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources and liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, is one way to measure the Village's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position are an indicator of whether the financial health is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the following: • Governmental activities - All of the Village's basic services are considered to be governmental activities, including general government, community development, public safety, public services, library, and recreation. Property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, and franchise fees finance most of these activities. • Proprietary activities/Business-type activities - The Village charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost of the services provided. The Village's Country Club is reported in this category. REPORTING THE VILLAGE'S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds - not the Village as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law. However, management establishes other funds, which aid in the management of money for particular purposes or meet legal responsibilities associated with the usage of certain taxes, grants, and other money. The Village's three types of funds - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary - use different accounting approaches as explained below. • Governmental Funds Most of the Village's basic services are reported in governmental funds. Governmental funds focus on how resources flow in and out, with balances available for spending remaining at year- end. These funds are reported using an accounting method called the modified accrual accounting method, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can be converted to cash readily. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the Village's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information shows whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the Village's programs. The Village maintains seven individual governmental funds: the General Fund, one Capital Projects Fund, and five Special Revenue Funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the General Fund, the Infrastructure Surtax Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund all of which are considered major funds (generally accepted accounting principles define a fund as major based on that fund’s size relative to the other funds of the government; a fund may also be reported as major if the government's officials believe that fund is particularly important to financial statement users). The remaining funds are considered non-major funds, and data from these governmental funds is combined into a single column for an aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 17-20 of this report. 6 • Proprietary Funds The Village's only proprietary fund is the Country Club Fund, which charges customers for the services it provides. These services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21-23 of this report. • Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. The funds in this category are the Village’s Pension Trust Funds and Agency Funds. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 24-25 of this report. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net positon may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the Village, the net position was $27.10 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year. A significant portion of the Village's net position (82.04%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt still outstanding, which was used to acquire those assets. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. 7 Table 2 Village of North Palm Beach Net Position (In Thousands) Governmental Business-type Activities Activities Total 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Assets: Current and other assets 21,156$ 28,457$ (2,661)$ (1,053)$ 18,495$ 27,404$ Capital assets 32,329 18,361 5,040 4,996 37,369 23,357 Total assets 53,485 46,818 2,379 3,943 55,864 50,761 Deferred outflows of resources:2,572 2,782 1 - 2,573 2,782 Liabilities: Current liabilities 5,415 2,030 415 161 5,830 2,191 Long-term liabilities 20,306 20,973 1,672 1,996 21,978 22,969 Total liabilities 25,721 23,003 2,087 2,157 27,808 25,160 Deferred inflows of resources:3,492 4,025 34 54 3,526 4,079 Net positon: Net investement in capital assets 18,814 15,429 3,422 3,056 22,236 18,485 Restricted 526 485 526 485 Unrestricted 7,504 6,659 (3,162) (1,325) 4,342 5,334 Total net position 26,844$ 22,573$ 260$ 1,731$ 27,104$ 24,304$ Governmental Activities The cost of all governmental activities this year was $24.64 million. As shown on Table 3, Changes in Net Position, those who directly benefited from the programs paid for $4.07 million of this cost and $24.83 million was financed through general revenues. Governmental activities increased the Village's net position by $4.27 million, thereby accounting for 100% of the total increase in the net position of the Village. Additional detail is shown in Table 3, which follows on the subsequent page. 8 Table 3 Village of North Palm Beach Changes in Net Position (In Thousands) Activities Total 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Revenues: Program revenues: Charges for services 4,073$ 3,571$ 1,407$ 2,255$ 5,480$ 5,826$ Operating grants and contributions 395 422 395 422 Capital grants and contributions 808 10 808 10 General revenues: Property taxes 16,185 15,003 16,185 15,003 Local option gas taxes 307 302 307 302 Local option infrastructure surtax 923 880 923 880 Utility service taxes 2,522 2,512 2,522 2,512 Sales and use taxes 1,449 1,413 1,449 1,413 Franchise taxes 1,353 1,294 1,353 1,294 Investment earnings 812 376 14 812 390 Miscellaneous 80 269 80 269 Gain on asset disposals 75 75 Total revenues 28,907 26,127 1,407 2,269 30,314 28,396 Expenses: Program expenses: General Government 3,313 3,214 3,313 3,214 Public Safety 10,505 10,046 10,505 10,046 Public Works 5,604 5,911 5,604 5,911 Community Development 1,686 1,459 1,686 1,459 Leisure Services 3,038 3,058 3,038 3,058 Interest on long-term debt 490 500 490 500 Country Club 2,879 2,913 2,879 2,913 Total expenses 24,636 24,188 2,879 2,913 27,515 27,101 Increase (decrease) in net position 4,271 1,939 (1,472) (644) 2,799 1,295 Net position - beginning of year 22,573 20,634 1,732 2,376 24,305 23,010 Net position - end of year 26,844$ 22,573$ 260$ 1,732$ 27,104$ 24,305$ Governmental Business-type Activities 9 The Village's programs include General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, Community Development & Planning, and Leisure Services. Each program's net cost (total cost, less revenues generated by the activities) is presented below. The net cost shows the extent to which the Village's general taxes support each of the Village's programs.

This increase is primarily due to increased personnel related costs. Business-Type Activities At the end of the current year, as compared to the prior year, Charges for Services (revenues) for the Business-type activities decreased by $0.85 million and expenses decreased by $0.03 million. Net positon of the Proprietary Fund (Country Club) at September 30, 2019, were $0.26 million. Net position decreased by $1.47 million. The negative impact in the Village’s Business-type activities 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 significant revenue loss in the Country Club. 10 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE VILLAGE'S FUNDS As noted earlier, the Village uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. Governmental Funds The focus of the Village's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Village's financing requirements. In particular, unrestricted (unassigned/assigned) fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of the current fiscal year, the combined fund balance for all Governmental Funds was $15.38 million, a $10.98 million decrease from the 2018 fund balance of $26.36 million. Approximately 78% of the combined ending fund balance ($12.07 million) constitutes unrestricted (unassigned/assigned) fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance ($3.32 million) is restricted (non-spendable/restricted) to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for a variety of other restricted purposes. General Fund The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $8.18 million while the General Fund total fund balance was $11.61 million. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance is 33% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 47% of that same amount. The general fund unassigned fund balance ($8.18 million) represents an increase of $0.90 million from the 2018 unassigned general fund balance of $7.28 million. Key elements of this increase are listed below: • Revenues for Franchise Fees and Utility Service Taxes were budgeted on prior year trends ($3.71 million). For the current year, the Village received $3.87 million; • Due to discounts from prompt payments, State law requires that only 95% of the gross ad- valorem taxes be budgeted as revenue ($15.94 million). For the current year, the Village received $16.18 million); and • Revenues for Licenses and Permits were budgeted on prior year trends ($0.98) million. For the current year, the Village received $1.52 million. This is primarily a result of an increase in Building Permits. The increase in the above-mentioned revenues, while holding the line on operating costs, resulted in a positive impact in the Village’s General Fund. 11 General Fund Budgetary Highlights Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were $1,218,375 and can be briefly summarized as follows: • Vehicle Leases ($826,943) • Prior Year Open Purchase Order Carryover ($391,432) General Fund Budget Analysis As shown on pages 85-86 of this report, in the Schedule of Departmental Expenditures – Budget and Actual, there was an overall favorable budget to actual cost variance of $1,164,884 in General Fund Departmental Expenditures. This is primarily a result of several unfinished projects at fiscal year-end that were carried over into the following fiscal year ($565,578); savings in personnel costs ($287,056) as a result of several position vacancies; and savings in operating costs ($115,673) as a result of departments holding the line on operating costs. Capital Projects Fund The Village’s Capital Projects Fund is project specific and involves multi-year projects. Appropriations in this fund remain open and carry over to succeeding years until planned expenditures are made, or until they are amended or cancelled. At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance was $3.73 million, a $13.33 million decrease over the 2018 fund balance of $17.07 million. This is primarily due to the Country Club Clubhouse project activity. Infrastructure Surtax Fund The Village’s Infrastructure Surtax Fund is used to account for 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 surtax will sunset on December 31, 2026. The use of surtax proceeds is restricted to, among other things, the financing, planning and construction of infrastructure. Appropriations in this fund remain open and carry over to succeeding years until planned expenditures are made, or until they are amended or cancelled. At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance was $0.46 million. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets The capital assets of the Village are those assets that are used in the performance of Village functions. Capital assets include equipment, buildings, land, and park facilities etc. The Village has elected to retroactively apply the capitalization requirements of GASB Statement No 34 to major general infrastructure assets acquired in fiscal years ending after June 30, 1980, or that were significantly reconstructed or improved during that multiyear period. The Village's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounts to $37.37 million and $23.36 million, respectively (net of accumulated depreciation). 12 Table 5 Village of North Palm Beach Capital Assets (In Thousands) Governmental Business-type Activities Activities Total 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Land 2,056$ 2,056$ 1,051$ 1,051$ 3,107$ 3,107$ Construction in progress 17,716 5,334 228 1,591 17,944 6,925 Buildings and improvements 26,045 23,973 8,072 6,538 34,117 30,511 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 7,520 8,253 49 212 7,569 8,465 Total assets 53,337 39,616 9,400 9,392 62,737 49,008 Less accumulated depreciation (21,008) (21,255) (4,359)(4,396)(25,367) (25,651) Net position 32,329$ 18,361$ 5,041$ 4,996$ 37,370$ 23,357$ Additional information on the Village's capital assets can be found in Note 5 on pages 46 through 47 of this report. Debt Currently, the Village uses debt financing on an as-needed basis each year. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village had total long-term debt of $15.40 million; $13.78 million in the governmental activities and $1.62 million in business-type activities. None of the Village’s long-term debt comprises debt backed by the full faith and credit of the government.

Unassigned general fund balance increased to $8.18 million during the current 2019 fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to the increase in several revenue categories. The FY 2019/20 Budget reflects continued improvement to citizen services, public safety, and public facility maintenance while emphasizing improved community appearance and financial stability. Most importantly, the budget provides necessary resources for the Village of North Palm Beach to maintain and further improve services to our residents without increasing the millage rate and without having to use the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance. The Village’s operating millage rate was not increased; it remained flat at 7.5000 mils. The Village’s financial plan represents an aggressive approach to adequately maintain infrastructure and address gaps in the organization in order to deliver services to the community while completing the North Palm Beach Country Club clubhouse construction and golf course renovation projects. Continued work to build a new clubhouse and renovate the golf course will result in reduced Country Club revenues due to the closure of both facilities at different times and the need for the General Fund to support debt service associated with the projects until the Country Club returns to full operation. Increasing property valuations and continued state and national economic growth, however, will blunt the impact of these short-term facility closures to the annual financial plan.

Reporting Entity The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida (“the Village”) was incorporated in 1956 pursuant to Chapter 31481, Laws of Florida, Extraordinary Session 1956. The Village is located in the northeast portion of Palm Beach County, Florida. Its municipal area comprises approximately 1,900 acres of land and 1,200 acres of lakes, canals and lagoons. The Village’s nonseasonal population consists of approximately 13,000 residents, which increases during the winter months to approximately 18,000 people. The Village operates under the Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services to its residents: public safety, planning and zoning, sanitation, library, parks, marinas, and a country club. The Village Council (the “Council”) is responsible for legislative and fiscal control of the Village. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements include the Village (the primary government) and its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the Village is financially accountable. The Village is financially accountable if: • it appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing board and (1) it is able to impose its will on the organization, or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the Village, or • the organization is fiscally dependent on the Village and (1) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to the Village or (2) impose specific financial burdens on the Village. Organizations for which the Village is not financially accountable are also included when doing so is necessary in order to prevent the Town’s financial statements from being misleading. Based upon application of the above criteria, the Village of North Palm Beach has determined that there are two legally separate entities to consider as potential component units. The Village of North Palm Beach General Employees’ Retirement Fund and the Village of North Palm Beach Fire and Police Retirement Fund are component units as they are fiscally dependent on and impose a specific financial burden on the Village. They are reported in the Village’s financial statements as pension trust funds in the fiduciary funds financial statements. B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all non-fiduciary activities of the Village. For the most part, the effect of interfund activities has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely, to a significant extent, on fees and charges for support. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 27 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued) The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and the major individual enterprise fund are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Fiduciary funds use the accrual basis of accounting and, except for agency funds, the economic resources measurement focus. Agency funds do not have a measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Village considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, intergovernmental revenue, investment income, and charges for services are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenue of the current fiscal period. All other revenues are considered to be measurable and available only when received in cash by the Village. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 28 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) The Village reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The general fund is the primary operating fund and is used to account for all financial resources applicable to the general operations of the Village except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Infrastructure Surtax Fund The Infrastructure Surtax Fund is special revenue fund used to account for the surtax proceeds which are restricted to, among other things, the financing, planning and construction of infrastructure. Capital Projects Fund The capital projects fund is used to account for the cost of acquiring, constructing, and placing into service those capital improvements, which are associated with activities in the General Fund. The Village reports the following major (and only) proprietary fund: Country Club Enterprise Fund The fund accounts for the activities related to the Country Club. Additionally, the Village reports the following fund types: Special Revenue Funds The Village has four special revenue funds to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific sources. The funds are the Public Safety Fund, Northlake Boulevard Fund, Recreation, and On-Behalf Pension Contributions. Employee Retirement Funds The pension trust funds account for the activities of the General Employees Retirement Fund and the Fire and Police Officers Retirement Fund, which accumulate resources for pension benefits to qualified employees. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 29 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Agency Funds The Agency Funds account for assets that are held for other parties and cannot be used to finance the Village’s own programs. The two agency funds are the Northlake Boulevard Task Force, which is for the streetscape improvement of Northlake Boulevard, and the Manatee Protection Fund, in which the assets are held in trust for the protection of manatees through the enforcement of boat speed zones on the intracoastal and inland waterways. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government’s country club and various other functions of the Village. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Village’s Country Club Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the Enterprise Fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed. D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of petty cash, deposits in checking accounts, money market mutual funds, investments with Florida Prime managed by the State of Florida, State Board of Administration and Florida Education Trust Fund (FEITF) sponsored by Florida School Boards Association and the Florida Association of District School Superintendents For purposes of determining cash equivalents, the Village has defined its policy concerning the treatment of short-term investments to include investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, as cash equivalents if management does not plan to reinvest the proceeds. Short-term investments that management intends to rollover into similar investments are considered part of the investment portfolio and are classified as investments. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 30 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable of the General Fund consists of billed and unbilled receivables. Concentration of Credit Risk The Village performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The Village maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses. Investments Investments are reported at fair value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value of an investment is the amount that the Village could reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis. Interfund Transactions Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to” or “due from other funds”. Any residual balance outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances. Transfers and interfund balances totally within governmental activities and those that are totally within business-type activities are eliminated and not presented in the government-wide financial statements. Transfers and balances between governmental and business-type activities are presented in the government-wide financial statements. Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories are valued at cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis (FIFO). The costs of governmental fund type inventory are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventories in the Enterprise Fund consist of goods for sale to the public. The initial cost is recorded as an asset at the time the individual inventory items are purchased and are charged against operations in the period when used. Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit future periods are reported as prepaid items using the consumption method by recording an asset for the prepaid amount and reflecting an expenditure in the year in which the services are consumed. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 31 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Capital Assets and Depreciation Capital assets, which include property, plant, infrastructure, and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements. The Village capitalizes all land purchases. The capitalization policy for other assets are items with an estimated life in excess of one year and an initial individual cost of $250,000 for infrastructure, $25,000 for land improvements, $50,000 for buildings and building improvements, and $5,000 for equipment and vehicles. The Village has elected to retroactively apply the capitalization requirements of GASB Statement No. 34 to major general infrastructure assets acquired in fiscal years ending after June 30, 1980, or that were significantly reconstructed or improved during that multi-year period. Infrastructure is reported in buildings and improvements. The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the capital assets associated with a fund is determined by the fund’s measurement focus. General capital assets are assets of the Village as a whole. When purchased, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and capitalized as assets in the government-wide statement of net position. General capital assets are carried at historical cost. Where cost cannot be determined from the available records, estimated historical cost has been used to record the estimated value of the assets. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value. Capital assets of the Enterprise Fund are capitalized in the fund. The valuation basis for Enterprise Fund capital assets is the same as those used for General capital assets. Additions, improvements, and other capital outlay that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated lives for each major class of depreciable capital assets are as follows: Buildings, improvements and infrastructure 5-30 years Golf course improvements 5-30 years Machinery and Equipment 3-15 years Vehicles 3-20 years THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 32 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The statement of net position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This represents the usage of net position applicable to future periods and will not be recognized as expenditures until the future period to which it applies. The Village reports deferred pension items in connection with its two Retirement Systems. These deferred pension charges are either (a) recognized in the subsequent period as a reduction of the net pension liability (which includes pension contributions made after the measurement date) or (b) amortized in a systematic and rational method as pension expense in future periods. The statement of net position also includes a separate section, listed below total liabilities, for deferred inflows of resources. This represents the acquisition of net position applicable to future periods and will not be recognized as revenue until the future period to which it applies. The Village currently has three types of deferred inflows. The first is local business tax revenues received prior to the period for which the taxes are levied, these are recognized as income in the period for which they are levied. The second is deferred pension items in connection with its two Retirement Systems. The third is deferred OPEB items in connection to Other Post- Employment Benefits. These items are amortized in a systemic and rational method and recognized as a reduction of expense in future periods. Unearned Revenue The Village reports unearned revenue on its statements of net position and governmental funds balance sheet. Unearned revenue arises when resources are obtained prior to revenue recognition. In subsequent periods, when revenue recognition criteria are met the unearned revenue is removed and revenue is recognized. Compensated Absences The Village’s employees are granted compensated absence pay for vacation and sick leave in varying amounts based on length of service. Unused compensated absences are payable upon separation from service. Vacation is accrued as a liability when the employee earns benefits. This means that the employee has rendered services that give rise to a vacation liability and it is probable that the Village will compensate the employee in some manner, e.g., in cash or paid time-off, now or upon termination or retirement. The Village uses the vesting method in accruing sick leave liability. Under the vesting method, the liability for sick leave is accrued for employees who are eligible to receive termination payments upon separation. Compensated absences are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if the amounts have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements. For the governmental funds, compensated absences are liquidated by the General Fund. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 33 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources, while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Net Position Equity in the government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary fund is displayed in three categories: 1) net investment in capital assets, 2) restricted, and 3) unrestricted. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets reduced by accumulated depreciation and by any outstanding debt incurred to acquire, construct, or improve those assets. Restricted net position is reported when there are legal limitations imposed on their use by Village legislation or external restrictions by other governments, creditors, or grantors. Unrestricted net position consists of all net position that does not meet the definition of either of the other three components. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the Village is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Fund balance is reported under the following categories: • Nonspendable fund balance represents amounts that are not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external providers (e.g. creditors, grantors, contributor, or laws or regulations of other governments) or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 34 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Fund Equity (Continued) • Committed fund balance represents amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by Village Commission by the adoption of an ordinance, the Village’s highest level of decision making authority. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Village removes or changes the specified use by the adoption of an ordinance. • Assigned fund balance includes spendable fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes, as expressed by the Village Commission or Village Manager, in accordance with the Villages fund balance policy, that are neither considered restricted nor committed. The Small Business Grants is a program the Village Council approved in the prior fiscal year to provide matching grants of up to $7,500 for improvements to small business properties. • Unassigned fund balance is the residual fund balance classification for the general fund. It is also used to report negative fund balances in other governmental funds. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. The Village will first use committed fund balance, then assigned fund balance, and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. Use of Estimates The financial statements and related disclosures are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred inflows and outflows, and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the period reported. These estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, the use and recoverability of inventory, the useful lives and impairment of tangible assets, and the realization of net pension assets, among others. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A. Budgetary Data Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund and the Enterprise Fund. The only governmental fund with a legally adopted annual budget is the General Fund. This budget is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 35 NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. Budgetary Data Except for budgeting capital expenditures and not budgeting for depreciation, the annual appropriated budgets for the Enterprise Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. For budgeting purposes, current year encumbrances are not treated as expenditures. The procedures for establishing budgetary data are as follows: • In July of each year, the Village Manager submits a proposed operating budget to the Council for the next fiscal year commencing the following October 1st. The proposed budget includes expenditures and the means of financing them. • During the months of July, August and September, the Council holds public meetings to obtain taxpayer comments. • Upon completion of the public hearings and prior to October 1st, a final operating budget is legally enacted through the passage of an ordinance. Estimated beginning fund balances are considered in the budgetary process. • Any change to the total fund expenses must be approved by the Village Council. • Appropriations along with encumbrances lapse on September 30th. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended by appropriate action. During the year, several supplementary appropriations were necessary. Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g. purchase orders or contracts) outstanding at year end are reported assigned fund balance and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year. The General Fund had $565,573 and the Capital Projects Fund had $2,345,005 in outstanding encumbrances at year-end. B. Property Taxes Under Florida law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all county, municipal, and school board property taxes are consolidated in the offices of the County Property Appraiser and the County Tax Collector. All property is reassessed according to its fair market value on January 1 of each year and each assessment roll is submitted to the State Department of Revenue for review to determine if the assessment rolls meet all of the appropriate requirements of State law. The laws of the State regulating tax assessment are also designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. State Statutes permit municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10 mills. The tax levy of the Village is established by the Council prior to October 1st of each year during the budget process. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 36 NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY (Continued) B. Property Taxes (Continued) The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser incorporates the Village’s millage into the total tax levy, which includes the County, County School Board, and special district tax requirements. The millage rate assessed by the Village for the year ended September 30, 2019, was 7.5000 ($7.5000 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation). Taxes may be paid less a 4% discount in November or at declining discounts each month through the month of February. All unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. Delinquent taxes on real property bear interest at 18% per year. On or prior to June 1st following the tax year, certificates are offered for sale for all delinquent taxes on real property. After sale, tax certificates bear interest at 18% per year or at any lower rate bid by the buyer. The certificate holder may make application for a tax deed on any unredeemed tax certificate after a period of two years. The County holds unsold certificates. Delinquent taxes on personal property bear interest at 18% per year until the tax is satisfied either by seizure and sale of the property or by the five-year statute of limitations. At September 30, 2019, unpaid delinquent taxes are not material and have not been recorded by the Village. NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS Deposits As of September 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the Village’s deposits (including fiduciary funds) was $2,712,907 and the bank balances totaled $2,995,113. In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, deposits are held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of Florida to hold public funds. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, the State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or other banking institution eligible collateral. In the event of failure of a qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. The Village’s deposits at year end are considered insured for custodial credit risk purposes. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 37 NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) A reconciliation of deposit and investments as shown on the statement of net position and statement of fiduciary net position for the Village is as follows: By Category: Deposits $ 2,712,907 Petty cash 3,483 Investments 57,948,896 Total deposits and investments $60,665,286 Presented in the statement of net position Governmental activities Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,253,207 Investments 11,576,187 Business-type activities Cash and cash equivalents 1,326 Total statements of net position 16,830,720 Presented in the statement of fiduciary net position Pension trust funds Cash and cash equivalents 565,449 Investments 42,887,609 Agency funds Cash and cash equivalents 381,508 Total fiduciary funds 43,834,566 Total deposits and investments $60,665,286 Investments The Village categorizes its investments according to the fair value hierarchy established GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. The hierarchy is based on valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs to include quoted prices for similar assets in active and non-active markets; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 38 NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (Continued) The money market mutual funds consist of investments with financial institutions in open end, institutional, money market funds complying with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 2a7. Rule 2a7 allows SEC registered mutual funds to use amortized cost rather than fair value to report net assets used to compute share prices if certain conditions are met. Those conditions include restrictions on the types of investments held, restrictions on the term-to- maturity of individual investments and the dollar-weighted average of the portfolio, requirements for portfolio diversification, and requirements for divestiture considerations in the event of security downgrades and defaults, and required actions if the fair value of the portfolio deviates from amortized cost by a specified amount. The Florida Public Assets for Liquidity Management (FL Palm) and Florida PRIME are external investment pools which meet the requirements with GASB Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants, which allows reporting the investments at amortized cost. For both funds as of September 30, 2019, there were no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any other requirements that serve to limit a participant’s daily access to 100 percent of their account value. However, the Trustees of the funds can suspend the right of withdrawal or postpone the date of payment if the Trustees determine that there is an emergency that makes the sale of a Portfolio’s securities or determination of its net asset value not reasonably practical. Money market mutual funds, FL Palm and Florida Prime are exempt from the GASB 72 fair value hierarchy disclosures. Equity securities, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt securities classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing values securities based on the securities relationship to benchmark quoted prices. The American Core Realty Fund, LLC is a diversified open-end commingled fund that invests primarily in high quality core income-producing office, industrial, retail, and multi-family properties. This fund is an alternative investment vehicle valued using the net asset value (NAV) provided by the investment manager of this fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund minus its liabilities and then divided by the number of shares or percentage of ownership outstanding. The NAV’s unit price is quoted on a private market that is not active. Investments valued at NAV are excluded from the fair value hierarchy because the valuation is not based on actual market inputs but rather is quantified using the fund’s reported NAV. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 39 NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (Continued) Redemptions from the fund may be made quarterly upon ten days’ notice. The units that are subject to a redemption notice may be redeemed in full or in installments on a pro-rata basis as funds become available for such redemptions and are subject to the availability of cash flow arising from investment transactions, sales and other fund operations occurring in the normal course of business. The fund is not required to liquidate or encumber assets or defer investments in order to satisfy redemption requests. The value of this alternative investment is not necessarily indicative of the amount that could be realized in a current transaction. The fair value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the underlying fund existed, and the differences could be material. Future confirming events will also affect the estimates of fair value and the effect of such events on the estimated fair value could be material. The Florida Public Assets for Liquidity Management FL Palm – Term Series invests in highly rated securities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, deposits including certificates of deposit and commercial paper Securities are rated at least ‘A/F1’ by Fitch Ratings or equivalent. The term portfolio is a fixed-rate, fixed-term portfolio with a maximum term of one year. The maturity profile of the term portfolio is managed to meet preset redemptions of the portfolio’s participants. Upon investing in the program, a participant selects a planned maturity date on which the portfolio seeks to produce a share price of at least $1.00 for the participant that redeems on said date. Participants may request premature redemption, but the portfolio may charge significant penalties for any redemption prior to the agreed-upon redemption date and net asset value may be more or less than $1.00 per share. Redemptions will be made seven days after the request is received. The Village’s investments in FEITF Term Series are as follows: Maturity Interest Rate Amount 12/13/19 2.62% $ 2,000,000 This fund is an alternative investment vehicle valued using the net asset value (NAV) provided by the investment manager of this fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund minus its liabilities and then divided by the number of shares or percentage of ownership outstanding. The NAV’s unit price is quoted on a private market that is not active. Investments valued at NAV are excluded from the fair value hierarchy because the valuation is not based on actual market inputs but rather is quantified using the fund’s reported NAV.

The Village’s investment policies limit its investments to high quality investments to control credit risk. The table below outlines the Village’s credit ratings for investments with certain investments not specifically rated by both S&P and Moody’s.

Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the greater the exposure to interest rate risks. The Village limits its exposure to fair value losses resulting from rising interest rates by structuring the investment portfolio so that the securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity; and investing operating funds primarily in short-term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools unless it is anticipated that long-term securities can be held to THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 42 NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (Continued) maturity without jeopardizing the liquidity requirements. The Retirement Funds do not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. Custodial credit risk – Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Village will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The Village’s investments are held by a third-party custodian, not in the name of the Village. Investments are held in book entry form at the Federal Reserve by Depository Trust Company (DTC) via the custodian. The custodian further segregates the Village’s investments in their trust accounting system. The investments in mutual funds and investment partnerships are considered unclassified pursuant to the custodial credit risk categories of GASB Statement No. 3, because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book-entry form. Concentrations of credit risk – Concentration of credit risk is defined as the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single user. The Village places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one issuer, except those in the Fire and Police Retirement Fund. Not more than five (5) percent of the Fund’s assets shall be invested in the common stock or capital stock of any one issuing company. Investing in Foreign Markets – Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in companies in the United States of America. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social, and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign governments may be less liquid, subject to delayed settlements, taxation on realized or unrealized gains, and their prices are more volatile than those of comparable securities in U.S. companies. Investing in Real Estate. – The Village is subject to the risks inherent in the ownership and operation of real estate. These risks include, among others, those normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the industry including creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under environmental and other laws. Authorized Investments –The Village has adopted an investment policy that applies to all the investment activity except the Employees’ Pension Funds, which are organized and administered separately, as listed below, or for funds related to the issuance of debt where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect for such funds.

However, as a former participant in SERMA, the Village is liable for claims incurred through September 30, 2006. In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, SERMA was dissolved and the outstanding claims were transferred to the Village’s current workman’s compensation administrator. As part of the dissolution, the Village received $61,100 from SERMA as its portion of the claims reserve balance, this was recorded as an accrued liability in the General Fund. At this time, the Village believes that the $18,790 currently recorded in the General Fund is adequate to cover the outstanding claims. NOTE 7 – RISK MANAGEMENT The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The Village currently reports all of its risk management activities in the General Fund. Claims expenditures and liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported. The Village is covered by Florida Statutes under the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity which effectively limits the amount of liability of municipalities to individual claims of $200,000/$300,000 for all claims relating to the same incident. However, under certain circumstances, a plaintiff can seek to recover damages in excess of statutory limits by introducing a claims bill to the Florida Legislature. The limits addressed in Florida Statutes do not apply to claims filed in federal courts. There have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage in the prior year. No settlements exceeded insurance coverage for the past three years.

Additionally, the State collects locally authorized insurance premium surcharges which can only be distributed after the State has ascertained that the local government has met its actuarial funding requirement for the then most recently completed fiscal year. Contributions to the Plan from the State of Florida totaled $310,200 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 57 NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) All Retirement Plans Net Pension Liability. The components of net pension liability of the Village on September 30, 2019 were as follows: General Employees Fire and Police Total pension liability $ 18,093,051 $ 30,766,565 Plan fiduciary net position (16,970,487) (26,428,153) Village's net pension liability $ 1,122,564 $ 4,338,412 Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability 93.80% 85.90% The pension liability of the Fire and Police plan increased by $205,896 due to the discount rate going from 7.75% to 7.70% and $1,660,762 due to changes in the benefit terms, the most significant of which was a prospective increase of the benefit accrual rate to 2.75% from 2.50% for Credited Service earned after September 30, 2018 and an increase in the maximum accrued benefit to 75% AME from 60%. Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2018 updated to September 30, 2019 using the following actuarial assumptions applied to the September 30, 2019 measurement period. General Employees Fire and Police Inflation 2.75% 2.50% Salary increases Service based Service based Investment rate of return 6.75% 7.70% Mortality RP2000 Combined Healthy Participant, Scale BB. Female: 100% Annuitant White Collar, Male Annuitant White Collar/50% Annuitant Blue Collar Female: RP2000 Generational, 100% Combined Healthy White Collar, Scale BB Male: RP2000 Generational, 10% Combined Healthy White Collar/90% Combined Healthy Blue Collar, Scale BB THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 58 NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) All Retirement Plans (Continued) The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of September 30, 2019, are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return General Employees Fire and Police Domestic equity 6.75% 7.50% International equity 6.50% 8.50% Domestic bonds 2.50% 2.50% Real estate N/A 4.50% Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.75 percent for the General Employees Retirement Fund and 7.70 percent for the Fire and Police Retirement Fund. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rates assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plans’ fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate. The following presents the net pension liabilities of the Village, calculated using the discount rates above, as well as what the Village’s net pension liabilities would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage-point lower or one percentage-point higher than the current rate.

Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2017 updated to September 30, 2018 using the following actuarial assumptions applied to the September 30, 2018, measurement period. General Employees Fire and Police Inflation 2.75% 2.50% Salary increases Service based Service based Investment rate of return 6.75% 7.75% Mortality Female: RP2000, 100%Annuitant White Collar, Scale BB Male: RP2000, 50%Annuitant White Collar/50% Annuitant Blue Collar, Scale BB Female: RP2000 Generational, 100%Annuitant White Collar, Scale BB Male: RP2000 Generational, 10%Annuitant White Collar/90% Annuitant Blue Collar, Scale BB THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 60 NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) All Retirement Plans (Continued) The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of September 30, 2018, are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Target Allocation Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return General Employees Fire and Police General Employees Fire and Police Domestic equity 45% 50% 6.75% 7.50% International equity 15 10 6.50% 8.50% Domestic bonds 40 30 2.25% 2.50% Real estate N/A 10 N/A 4.50% Total 100% 100% Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.75 percent for the General Employees Retirement Fund and 7.75 percent for the Fire and Police Retirement Fund. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rates assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plans’ fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

The four pension plans include Village Manger, Directors, General Employees, and Municipal Employees. The defined contribution plans are administered by International City/County Management Association and Retirement Corporation (ICMA-RC). The ICMA-RC is a nonprofit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Contribution requirements of employees’ and the Village are established and may be amended by the Village Council. The vesting period for each defined contribution plan is five years, with a vesting of zero percent in the first year, and a vesting of twenty-five percent for each year thereafter. While the plans will not provide for retroactive funding, the vesting period shall run from each employee’s original date of hire. If an employee terminates before becoming fully vested, forfeited amounts will be used to reduce future Village contributions. No loans are permitted by the plan. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 69 NOTE 11 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (Continued) The normal retirement age for the plan shall be age sixty. There is no waiting period for participation in the plan. The minimum age for participation is eighteen. The Village contributes 15% of participant earnings for the plan year. Earnings include regular and bonus compensation, but do not include overtime or commissions. Employee contributions are voluntary, after-tax contributions that are not matched by the Village. Employees may contribute 3%, 5%, 10%, or 15% of earnings to the plan. Contributions are remitted to the trusts every payroll period. Because the Village has little administrative involvement and does not perform the investing function for funds in the plans, the Village’s activities do not meet the criteria for inclusion in the fiduciary funds of a government. Consequently, the plans are not included in the Village’s financial statements. Plan detail for participating employees at September 30, 2019, is listed below: Village Manager Directors General Employees Municipal Employees Employee contributions $ 4,770 $ 67,508 $ 53,306 $ 74,351 Village pension expense 23,850 121,678 166,349 82,829 Forfeitures - - 5,963 6,620 Payable as of fiscal year end - - - - NOTE 12 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN ASSETS Employees of the Village may participate in a deferred compensation plan adopted under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 457 (Deferred Compensation Plans with Respect to Service for State and Local Governments). The deferred compensation plan is available to all employees of the Village. Under the plan, employees may elect to defer a portion of their salaries and avoid paying taxes on the deferred portion until the withdrawal date. The deferred compensation amount is not available for withdrawal by employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. A third party administers the deferred compensation plan. In 1998, the Village Adopted GASB-32, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. The Village modified its Deferred Compensation Plan to conform with the changes in the Internal Revenue Code brought about by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the “Act”). The Act requires that eligible deferred compensation plans established and maintained by governmental employers be amended to provide that all assets of the plan be held in trust, or under one or more appropriate annuity contracts or custodial accounts, for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. As a result of this change, these plan assets are not property of the Village and are not subject to the claims of the Village’s general creditors. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 70 NOTE 12 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN ASSETS (Continued) Because the Village has little administrative involvement and does not perform the investing function for funds in the Plan, the Village’s activities do not meet the criteria for inclusion in the fiduciary funds of a government. NOTE 13 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS General Information about the OPEB Plan Effective October 1, 2016, the Village implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 75 (GASB 75), Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, see Note 19. Retirees of the Village pay an amount equal to the actual premium for health insurance charged by the carrier. The premium charged includes an implied subsidy, as the amount charged for all participants (active employee or retiree) is the same, regardless of age. Under GASB 75, an implied subsidy is considered other post-employment benefits (OPEB). The following describes the Village’s OPEB Provisions: Plan Description The Village provides a single employer defined benefit health care plan to all of its employees and the plan is administered by the Village. The plan has no assets and does not issue a separate financial report. Benefits Provided The plan allows its employees and their beneficiaries, to continue to obtain health and dental benefits upon retirement. The normal retirement age for police and firefighters is 55 or 52; , depending on the option selected by the employee and the normal retirement age for all other Village employees is either age 60 or 65, depending on the option selected by the employee. The benefits of the plan are in accordance with Florida Statutes, which are the legal authority for the plan. The plan has no assets and does not issue a separate financial report. Employees Covered by Benefit Terms At September 30, 2018, the following employees were covered by benefit terms: Participants Active employees 144 Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 4 Inactive employees entitled to but not receiving benefits - Total 148 THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 71 NOTE 13 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (Continued) Contribution Requirements: The Village does not make direct contributions to the plan on behalf of retirees. Retirees and their beneficiaries pay the same group health rates as active employees. However, the Village’s actuaries, in their actuarial valuation, calculate an offset to the cost of these benefits as an employer contribution, based upon an implicit rate subsidy. This offset equals the total annual age-adjusted costs paid by the Village, or its active employees, for coverage of the retirees and their dependents net of the retiree’s own payments for the year. Total OPEB Liability The Village’s total OPEB liability of $1,641,689 was measured as of September 30, 2019 and was determined by the actuarial valuation as September 30, 2018 with results actuarially projected on a “no gain/no loss” basis. Actuarial Assumptions and Methods The total OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and other methods: Valuation Date: September 30, 2018 Measurement Date: September 30, 2019 Discount Rate: 3.58% per annum Source Bond Buyer GO 20-Bond Municipal Index Salary Increase Rate: Service based between 4% to 12.5% per annum Health Care Trend Rate: An initial rate of 8.5% decreasing by 0.5% annually to an ultimate rate of 5.0%. Inflation Rate: General 2.75% per annum Fire and Police 2.5% per annum Marriage Rate/Participation: The assumed number of eligible dependents is based on the current portions of single and family contracts in the census provided. The spousal participation assumed at retirement is 75%. Actuarial Cost Method: Entry Age Normal based on level percentage of projected salary. Amortization Method: Experience/Assumptions gains and losses are amortized over the closed period of 9 years starting on October 1, 2017, equal to the average remaining service of active and inactive plan members (who have no future service). THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 72 NOTE 13 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (Continued) Actuarial Assumptions and Methods (Continued) Plan Participation Percentage: The participation percentage is the assumed rate of future eligible retirees who elect to continue health coverage at retirement. It is assumed that 40% of employees in the General and the Fire and Police Pension Plans and 35% in the Defined Contribution Plan elect coverage. This assumes that a one-time irrevocable election to participate is made at retirement. Mortality Rates: General and Defined Contribution Plans: RPH- 2018 Total Dataset Mortality Table fully generational using Scale MP-2018. Police and Fire Plan: RPH-2018 Blue Collar Mortality Table fully generational using Scale MP-2018 Discount Rate The Village does not have a dedicated Trust to pay retiree healthcare benefits. Per GASB 75, the discount rate is a yield or index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt municipal bonds. As a result, the calculation used a rate of 3.58%.

It also clarifies which liabilities governments should include when disclosing information related to debt NOTE 19 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Below is a brief description and effective date of new accounting standards that could have a significant impact on the Village. • GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. This Statement will increase the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting that is based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. This Statement is effective for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2019 77 NOTE 19 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) • GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. This Statement will improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported. This Statement is effective for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these statements on the Village’s financial statements.

This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the Village of North Palm Beach. This process recognizes that, when considering the Village's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government. (1)For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Value that is within the Village's boundaries and dividing it by the County's and School Board's total taxable assessed value. This approach was also used for the other debt.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 116 Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. West Palm Beach, Florida March 11, 2020 117 MANAGEMENT LETTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the financial statements of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida, as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, and have issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2020. Auditor’s Responsibility We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Other Reporting Requirements We have issued our Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of the Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and Independent Accountant’s Report on an examination conducted in accordance with AICPA Professional Standards, AT-C Section 315, regarding compliance requirements in accordance with Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Disclosures in those reports, which are dated March 11, 2019, should be considered in conjunction with this management letter. Prior Audit Findings Section 10.554(1)(i)1., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether or not corrective actions have been taken to address findings and recommendations made in the preceding financial audit report. Finding 2018-1 is a comment from the prior year that still applies. 118 Official Title and Legal Authority Section 10.554(1)(i)4., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that the name or official title and legal authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed in this Management Letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. This information is disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. Financial Condition and Management Sections 10.554(1)(i)5.a. and 10.556(7), Rules of the Auditor General, require us to apply appropriate procedures and communicate the results of our determination as to whether or not the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida has met one or more of the conditions described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes, and to identify the specific condition(s) met. In connection with our audit, we determined that the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida did not meet any of the conditions described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Pursuant to Sections 10.554(1)(i)5.b. and 10.556(8), Rules of the Auditor General, we applied financial condition assessment procedures. It is management’s responsibility to monitor the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s financial condition, and our financial condition assessment was based in part on representations made by management and the review of financial information provided by same. Our assessment was done as of the fiscal year end. The results of our procedures did not disclose any matters that are required to be reported. Section 10.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we communicate any recommendations to improve financial management. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such recommendations. Special District Component Units Section 10.554(1)(i)5.c, Rules of the Auditor General, requires, if appropriate, that we communicate the failure of a special district that is a component unit of a county, municipality, or special district, to provide the financial information necessary for proper reporting of the component unit, within the audited financial statements of the county, municipality, or special district in accordance with Section 218.39(3)(b), Florida Statutes. Based on the application of criteria in publications cited in Section 10.553, Rules of the Auditor General, there are no special district component units of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida. Additional Matters Section 10.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires us to communicate noncompliance with provisions of contracts or grant agreements, or abuse, that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred, that have an effect on the financial statements that is less than material but warrants the attention of those charged with governance. In connection with our audit, we had one finding. 119 Finding 2018-1 The 2006 loan agreement with Bank of America requires that pledged revenues cover 100% of the debt service due plus the expenses, other than non-cash expenses, of owning and operating the Country Club. Due to the Golf Course and Country Club being closed for part of the year for renovations this requirement was not met. Management Response Continued work on the North Palm Beach Country Club clubhouse construction and golf course renovation projects disrupted the Country Club’s ability to deliver services and resulted in significant revenue loss in the Country Club. Without the revenues from the operation of the Country Club, the General Fund is supporting the debt service associated with the projects until the Country Club returns to full operation. All required debt service payments have been paid on time for the loan. Single Audits The Village expended less than $750,000 of federal awards and less than $750,000 of state financial assistance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, and was not required to have a federal single audit or a state single audit. Response to Management Letter The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described above. The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. Purpose of this Letter Our management letter is intended solely for the information and use of the Legislative Auditing Committee, members of the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives, the Florida Auditor General, Federal and other granting agencies, the audit committee, the Village Council, and applicable management, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Management of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida is responsible for the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s compliance with the specified requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced above.
