CITY OF CLERMONT
March 31, 2009
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council and Citizens of the City of Clermont, Florida:
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the
City of Clermont, Florida, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. State law
requires that every general-purpose local government publish within six months of the
close of each fiscal year a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is
published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these
representations, management of the City of Clermont has established a comprehensive
internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from
loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of
the City of Clermont's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Clermont's
comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable
rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief,
this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Clermont's financial statements have been audited by McDirmit Davis &
Company, LLC, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the
independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of
the City of Clermont for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, are free of material
misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor
concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
unqualified opinion that the City of Clermont's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2008, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditor's report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent
auditor's report and provides narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic
financial statements. The MD&A provides "financial highlights" and interprets the
financial reports by analyzing trends and by explaining changes, fluctuations and
variances in the financial data. In addition, the MD&A is intended to disclose any known
significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the City. This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with
it.

Profile of the City of Clermont
The City was founded in 1884 and incorporated in 1916. The City currently has a land
area of 14.42 square miles and population of approximately 23,476. The City is located
in south Lake County, approximately twenty-two miles west of the City of Orlando and
about twenty-five miles northwest of Walt Disney World. Clermont, known as "The Gem
of the Hills", is truly the crossroads of Florida, at the intersection of State Road 50 that
runs east and west across the state and U.S. Highway 27, which runs north and south
through the center of the state. Clermont is on a chain of 15 lakes connected by the
winding Palatlakaha River in the Ocklawaha Basin of tributaries of the St. Johns River,
the only river system in the United States of America that flows north. The lakes offer
residents the opportunity for excellent fishing, boating, swimming and other water sports
including competitive skiing and wakeboarding offered by world -class instructional
schools.
The City of Clermont is known for its scenic beauty, relaxed lifestyle, recreational
facilities and temperate climate. Residents have a wide variety of housing and property
ownership opportunities, including lakefront and lake access property, golf course
communities, homes in existing neighborhoods, residential retirement communities and
new subdivisions. The City of Clermont Parks and Recreation Department operates 22
parks, 5.7 miles of scenic paved trails, 4 piers measuring a total of 840 feet, 1-612 foot
boardwalk, 4 special purpose buildings and a boat ramp.
The City of Clermont provides a full range of services as directed by its charter. These
include police and fire protection; streets and sidewalk maintenance, planning and
development, code enforcement, mosquito control, recreational facilities and programs,
cemetery and general administrative functions. The City also provides potable water,
wastewater collection and treatment, reclaimed water production and distribution,
stormwater treatment, solid waste collection and recycling services.
The City operates according to a Council/Manager form of government, with an
appointed City Manager, four elected City Council members and an elected Mayor. The
governing body has legislative responsibilities including setting policy, passing
ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City's Manager.
The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the
governing body, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for
hiring the directors of the various departments.
The annual budget serves as the foundation the City of Clermont's financial planning
and control. All departments of the City of Clermont are required to submit requests for
appropriations to the City Manager. The City Manager then uses these requests as the
starting point for developing a proposed budget. The City Manager then presents this
proposed budget to the Council for review. The City Council is required to hold public
hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than September
30, the close of the City of Clermont's fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared
by fund (e.g. general fund), and department (e.g. fire department). The City Manager
may make transfers of appropriations within departments; however, any revisions that
alter the total appropriations of a department must be approved by City Council. Original
and final amended budget -to -actual comparisons are provided in this report for each
individual governmental fund. The General Fund is presented on pages 20-21, the
Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund is presented on page 22 and the Community
OF
Redevelopment Special Revenue fund is presented on page 23 as part of the basic
financial statements for the governmental funds. For other governmental funds, these
comparisons are presented in the other governmental funds subsection of this report,
which starts on page 62.
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when
it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the
City of Clermont operates.
Local economy. The City of Clermont is essentially residential in character and its
economy is centered in retail, real estate, personal services and healthcare. At
September 30, 2008, Lake County's unemployment rate was 6.5%. This is an increase
of 1.8% over 2007 and is slightly lower than the state's average of 6.9% and slightly
higher than the national average rate of 6.2%. Educational institutions in Clermont such
as Lake -Sumter Community College and the University of Central Florida assist in
supplying a skilled labor force. South Lake Hospital, one of the City's largest employers,
is a significant economic presence that provides employment to 1,000 healthcare
professionals and staff. The hospital has also attracted many new medical offices to the
area.
The cost of living for the region is below the national average. There is no personal
income tax, either locally or state-wide. Sales tax, currently at 7%, is not charged on
food or medicine. One cent of the sales tax charged within the county is limited to $50
per transaction (1 % of $5,000). As discussed in the MD&A, this additional penny sales
tax must be used for infrastructure including roads, buildings, land, land improvements
and certain equipment.
The national housing market decline affected Clermont during Fiscal Year 2008 in the
form of reduced building permits and impact fee collections. The total of these
collections decreased nearly 16% from Fiscal Year 2007. The decrease in these
collections is continuing in Fiscal Year 2009.
Major initiatives. The following items are capital projects that are currently planned for
the City:
• The planning/design phase for the construction of Fire Station No. 3 was
completed during Fiscal Year 2008. The new station to be located in the eastern
portion of the City will enable quicker response times to the growing population
base in the area. The new station is estimated to cost approximately $1.5 million
and will be funded from infrastructure sales taxes.
• Planning for the construction of a new community center located on Lake
Minneola near Waterfront Park is ongoing. Currently estimated to cost $9 million,
the planned facility will accommodate weddings, meetings, and various
community functions. This project is anticipated to be funded from infrastructure
sales taxes, recreation impact fees and General Fund reserves.
• Currently under construction, the East Water Reclamation Facility Expansion
project includes construction of processes to upgrade the treatment capacity
from two million gallons per day to four million gallons per day. Other
improvements in the project include the addition of reclaimed water storage and
In
distribution piping to deliver reclaimed water to existing customers. The total
budget for the improvements is $19,900,000. The project is being funded from
sewer utility reserves and sewer impact fees.
The Greater Hills Water Treatment Plant expansion project includes construction
of a one million gallon ground storage tank and a bank of high service pumps to
deliver potable water to the distribution system. Also included in the project is a
new potable well and associated piping. The total budget for the improvements
is $6,100,000. The project is anticipated to be funded from water utility reserves
and water impact fees.
The City continued making installment payments on the purchase of 220 acres of
land known as the Inland Groves property. The land is undeveloped and will be
used for a passive park. Development is not scheduled to begin for several
years. The price of the property purchased in 2006 was $16.5 million. The note
provides payments to be made over the next four (4) years from infrastructure
sales taxes, recreation impact fees and grants.
Long-term financial planning. The City uses an extensive water and sewer master
plan to manage growth in the water and sewer utility systems. The plan outlines water
and sewer line size requirements for planned development with rough cost estimates.
The plan also has benchmarks for plant expansions and additional well requirements.
Slowed building permits for new home construction are being monitored closely since
impact fee revenue is directly impacted by the housing market. This slowed growth also
impacts the growth of ad valorem, utility tax and franchise fee revenues in future years.
The slowdown in revenue growth may change the need for future borrowing in order to
complete planned projects. However, through careful short and long range planning,
conservative budgeting and sound management practices, most projects noted in the
major initiatives section are anticipated to be accomplished without incurring any
additional debt.
The City also monitors state legislation regarding ad valorem taxes. Changes approved
during the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions affected the Fiscal Year 2009 budget and
will continue to affect future years. There are also a number of other changes being
proposed during 2009 that could have far reaching implications on how government
operates and the revenue sources available to fund them. Due to these circumstances,
we are actively monitoring expansion projects and limiting additional personnel that will
require multi -year funding commitments. Clermont City Council and management are
committed to budgeting and managing all resources in the most cost-effective manner.
Relevant financial policies. The City regularly reviews revenues and expenditures
throughout the fiscal year. During the course of the year, if actual revenues are
expected to fall short of the budgeted amount, expenditures are reduced to ensure that a
shortage of funds or a significant use of fund balance does not occur.
The City administers a cash management and investment program that seeks to
maximize, in order of priority, the preservation of funds, liquidity and interest earnings
over its cash and investments. Cash resources of the individual funds are combined to
form a pool of cash and investments. The average cash and investment pool balance
during the year (not including pension funds) was $55,063,724 and the average
u
investment earnings rate was 5.3%. Investment income includes the change in the fair
value of investments. During the year monies were invested in accordance with the
City's investment policy. Pension fund assets were invested in accordance with the
City's Investment Policy for Retirement Funds. The total pension fund assets at year
end were $11,595,781 and the average investment income was-12.9%.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of
Clermont for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007. This was the twentieth consecutive year that the City has received
this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive
annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and
dedicated services of the staffs in the City Manager's office, Planning Department and
Administrative Services Department. We would like to express our appreciation to all
members of these departments who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this
report. A special note of appreciation is due Regina Frazier and Rita Edwards in
Finance for their hard work and dedicated efforts in the preparation of this report. Credit
also must be given to the Mayor and the City Council for their support in maintaining the
highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Clermont's
finances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Clermont, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Clermont, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2008, which collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Clermont, Florida, as of
September 30, 2008 and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund, infrastructure
special revenue fund and the community redevelopment fund for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March
19, 2009 on our consideration of the City of Clermont, Florida's internal control over financial
reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts
and grants 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 result of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit preformed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in
considering the results of our audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis is not a required part of the basic financial
statements but is supplemental information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which
consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and
presentation of the supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and
express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Clermont, Florida basic financial statements. The introductory
section, combining and individual fund financial statements and statistical section are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U. S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, and
Chapter 10.550, Rulesof the Auditor General and is also not a required part of the basic
financial statements of the City of Clermont, Florida. The schedule of expenditures of federal
awards and state financial assistance and the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and
statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Clermont, Florida we offer readers of the City of Clermont's (the City)
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of
Clermont for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our
letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages iii through vii of this report.
Financial Highlights
• The City of Clermont's assets exceeded its liabilities at September 30, 2008 by
$126,937,864 (net assets). Of this amount, $30,049,284 (unrestricted net assets) may
be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City's total net assets increased by $16,214,605 (or 15%) over the previous fiscal
year. There was also an increase in net assets of $453,886 due to a prior period
adjustment.
• At September 30, 2008 the City of Clermont's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $21,502,836 a decrease of $1,084,841 over the previous fiscal
year. Of this amount $19,382,803 (unreserved fund balance) is available for spending
at the government's discretion. There was also a decrease in fund balances of
$250,769 due to a prior period adjustment.
• The General Fund, the City's primary operating fund, reported an unreserved fund
balance of $9,572,280, which represents 30% of total general fund expenditures.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Clermont's
basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three
components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes
to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to
the basic financial statements themselves.
Government -wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are
designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Clermont's financial position, in a
manner similar to a private -sector business. They include a Statement of Net Assets and a
Statement of Activities. These statements appear on pages 15 and 16 of the report.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net
assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues
and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Clermont that
are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Clermont
include general government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic
environment, human services, and culture and recreation. The business -type activities of the City
of Clermont include water, sewer, sanitation, and stormwater utilities.
The government -wide financial statements include only the City of Clermont itself (known as the
primary government) and one blended component unit (The City of Clermont Community
Redevelopment Trust Fund).
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of
Clermont, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Clermont can be
divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike
the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City's
near -term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near -term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Clermont maintains ten individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, and the Infrastructure
Fund and the Community Redevelopment Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds.
Data from the other seven governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in
the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Clermont adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its governmental funds.
Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate
compliance with this budget at page 20. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided for
the Infrastructure Fund and the Community Redevelopment Fund on pages 22-23. Other
nonmajor funds comparisons can be found beginning on page 66.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 17 - 23 of this report.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED
Proprietary funds. The City of Clermont maintains two types of proprietary funds: enterprise and
internal service, which can be found on pages 24-29 of this report.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the
government -wide financial statements. The City of Clermont uses enterprise funds to account for
water, sewer, sanitation and stormwater utilities. Internal service funds are an accounting tool used
to accumulate and allocate costs internally among various functions. The City utilizes an internal
service fund for its health insurance. Because services accounted for in the internal service fund
predominately benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, it has been included
within the governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for water, sewer and sanitation which are all considered to be major funds. Data for the
Stormwater Fund is also included since it is the only nonmajor fund.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of
Clermont's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for the
proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 30 - 31 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to
a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to financial statements can be found on pages 33 - 57 of this report.

The City's total net assets at September 30, 2008 were $126,937,864. Of the City's total net
assets $74,031,105 (58%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
improvements, infrastructure and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets
that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Clermont's
investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's total net assets, $22,857,475 (18%) represents resources that
are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the City's
total net assets, $30,049,284 (24%) is unrestricted. These assets may be used at the City's
discretion in meeting its ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's net assets increased by $16,214,605 during the current fiscal year. Almost half of this
increase was due to the construction in progress of the East Side and Greater Hills Water
Treatment Plants and a reclaimed water plant, which significantly increased capital assets.
Restricted reserves represent the accumulation of impact fee funds for upcoming and ongoing
capital projects. Unrestricted reserves represent increases in investment cash in governmental
funds. The increase is due to actual revenues exceeding anticipated revenues, which is the result
of growth in the City's tax base.
The following is a summary of the City's governmental and business -type activities for fiscal year
2007-08, including revenues and expenses, with a comparison to the prior year. For more detail
see the Statement of Activities on page 16.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED
Governmental activities - Governmental activities increased the City of Clermont's net assets by
$10,253,228. Key elements of this change are as follows:
• Property tax revenue increased by $296,971 (4%) during the year. Franchise fee revenue
and utility tax revenue increased $233,946 (6%). These increases are the result of growth
and not a change in the City's tax rate structure.
• Capital grants and contributions increased by $4,811,577 primarily due to receipt of a
County grant to assist in the purchase of recreation land.
• Charges for services increased by $214,752 primarily due to an increase in collections of
recreation, police and fire impact fees. This represents a slight increase in new
construction from last year.
• Increases in expenses closely paralleled inflation and growth in the demand for services.
The most significant increase can be observed in the public safety category. The majority
of this increase is additional personnel in both the police and fire departments.
The following graph is a comparison of program revenues and program expenses for all
governmental activities. This chart is intended to give the reader an idea of the degree to which
governmental activities are self-supporting.

due to increase in demand.
Capital contributions totaled $1,479,537. These contributions are water and sewer impact
fees paid by developers. The fees were adopted by the City to require new development to
pay its proportionate share of the capital costs necessary to accommodate new
development impacts on the City's water and sewer system. The City is using this revenue
for large capital projects that are currently under construction such as the Sunburst Lane
and Greater Hills Water Treatment Plants and a Water Reclamation Plant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS — CONTINUED
Financial Analysis of the City's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Clermont uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on
near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City of Clermont's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance
may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the
end of the fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $21,502,836 a decrease of $1,084,841 in comparison with the prior
year. Of the governmental funds combined ending fund balances, $19,382,803 (90.1%)
represents unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the City's discretion.
The remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending
because it has already been committed for debt service, inventories and prepaid expenses, or it
is being held in a non -expendable trust fund.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Clermont. As of September 30, 2008,
the fund balance in the General Fund was $9,780,786 an increase of $345,472 in comparison
with the prior year. Of the total fund balance in the General Fund, $9,572,280 (99%) was
unreserved fund balance. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unreserved fund balance represents 30% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund
balance represents 30% of that same amount. Contributing to this increase in fund balance is a
grant received from the County which partially offset a recreation land purchase made in the
prior year.
The City also has an Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund that is considered a major fund under
criteria set forth by GASB Statement #34. This fund is used to account for the City's share of
the Local Government Infrastructure Surtax. The surtax, which represents a countywide one -
cent increase in the state sales tax, was authorized for an additional fifteen years by the voters
of Lake County in November, 2001. The surtax may only be used for infrastructure projects or
public safety equipment with a useful life in excess of five years or on debt issued to finance the
above. During fiscal year 2007-08, the fund balance of the infrastructure fund decreased by
$2,874,894. This decrease is due to the transfer of funds to the Capital Projects Fund for
expenses associated with the construction of the Fire Administration facility as well as funding
for the future construction of a community center.
The Community Redevelopment Special Revenue fund is considered a major fund in order for
our external auditors to express an opinion on this fund as required by Florida Statutes chapter
163.387(8). This fund was created in 1997 as a dependent taxing district. The incremental
annual increase in tax over the base years is used to fund projects. As of September 30, 2008,
the fund balance was $907,346 an increase of $303,744 over the prior year. Currently, phase II
of the streetscape improvements in this district is being engineered.
The remainder of the change ($1,140,837) to the governmental fund balance was from the non -
major governmental funds. Recreation, police and fire impact fee fund balances combined
decreased a total of $2,610,482. The capital projects fund balance increased by $3,652,722.
The fund balances in the remaining non -major funds increased a total of $98,597.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS — CONTINUED
Proprietary Funds. Proprietary Funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed
and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the
governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or
services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through
user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of
revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,
public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City's major
proprietary funds are water, sewer and sanitation.
As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont's proprietary funds reported total net assets of
$78,570,902 an increase of $5,961,377 in comparison with the prior year. Total net assets also
increased by $704,655 due to a prior period adjustment. Of the proprietary funds total net
assets, $18,103,096 (23%) represents unrestricted net assets. Restricted assets of
$13,898,851 (18%) are reserved for capital improvements.
The Water Fund accounts for the provision of potable water service to City and non -City
residents. All activities necessary to the provision of these services are accounted for in this
fund, including, but not limited to administration, plant and line maintenance. As of September
30, 2008, the City of Clermont's water fund reported total net assets of $27,174,724, an
increase of $2,546,166 (10%) in comparison with the prior year. This increase is partially due to
servicing an expanded customer base. The residential customer base has increased from
16,394 customers in September 2007 to 16,959 as of September 2008. Approximately 54% of
the increase in net assets was operating income. The remainder was from impact fee
collections that are accumulating for large capital projects that will expand the current water
system.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the provision of sewer services to City and non -City residents. All
activities necessary to the provision of these services are accounted for in this fund, including,
but not limited to administration, plant and line maintenance. As of September 30, 2008, the
City of Clermont's sewer fund reported total net assets of $44,036,686, an increase of
$2,165,787 in comparison with the prior year. This increase is primarily due to impact fee
collections. Much of the money collected for impact fees is accumulating for large capital
projects that will expand the current sewer system. The remainder of the increase is due to
servicing an expanded customer base. The residential customer base has increased from
11,554 customers in September 2007 to 11,913 in September 2008.
The Sanitation Fund accounts for the provision of garbage and trash collection, recycling, and
composting services to City residents. All activities necessary to the provision of these services
are accounted for in this fund. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont's sanitation fund
reported total net assets of $2,942,867, an increase of $438,329 in comparison with the prior
year. This was primarily due to operating income.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During the year there was a $1,659,279 increase in appropriations between the original and
final amended budget. Following are the main components of the increase:
• $160,000 increase for a FEMA grant to purchase a Fire Simulator Trailer.
• $ 26,780 increase for the demolition of the Cooper Memorial Library Building.
• $960,000 increase for the Legends Way road extension and the Lake Winona Bridge.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Clermont had total debt outstanding of
$28,246,865. This debt includes revenue bonds payable and notes payable. The City of
Clermont issued a note payable during fiscal year 2007-2008 for the purchase of recreation

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
• The annual unemployment rate for Lake County in 2008 was 6.5%, which is an increase
from a rate of 4.7% in 2007. This is an increase of 1.8% over 2007 and is slightly lower
than the state's average of 6.9%, however, it is slightly higher than the national average
rate of 6.2%.
• The taxable value of commercial and residential property increased 23% from fiscal year
2006-07 to fiscal year 2007-08.
• Population increased 2.6% from 22,882 in 2007 to 23,476 in 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, the General Fund unreserved fund balance was $9,572,280. The
City appropriated $308,655 of this amount for spending in the 2008-09 fiscal year budget. The
same property tax rate is included for the general fund for the 2008-09 fiscal year budget.
However, property tax revenue is projected to be nearly $255,000 lower in fiscal year 2008-
2009 due to the approval of Amendment 1 by voters in January 2008.
No utility rate adjustments were proposed for the 2008-09 fiscal year with the exception of the
sewer rate structure. The sewer rates increased 2.39% on October 1, 2008 pursuant to a
required adjustment in accordance with the Florida Public Service Commission Annual Deflator
Index previously adopted by the Clermont City Council.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES. EXPENDITURES. AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Year Ended September 30, 2008
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds: $ (1,084,841)
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different
because:
Governmental funds report outlays for capital assets as expenditures because such
outlays use current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement of Activities
reports only a portion of the outlay as expense. The outlay is allocated over the
assets' estimated useful lives as depreciation expense for the period.
This is the amount by which capital outlays $13,561,862 exceeded depreciation
$1,844,646 in the current period. 11,717,216
The net effect of sales of capital assets is to decrease net assets.
(6,214)
Governmental funds report bond proceeds as current financial resources. In contrast,
the Statement of Activities treats such issuance of debt as a liability. Governmental
funds report repayment of bond principal as an expenditure, In contrast, the
Statement of Activities treats such repayments as a reduction in long-term liabilities.
This is the amount by which proceeds exceeded repayments. (73,724)
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and these are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds: (96,605)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as fleet maintenance and information technology, to individual funds.
The net revenue (expense) of certain internal service funds is reported with
governmental activities. (202,604)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Clermont, Florida (the City) is a political subdivision of the State of Florida located in
Lake County. The City of Clermont was incorporated under State law in December 1916 and
operates under the council-manager form of government under its charter adopted pursuant to
H.B. 2223, Ch.67-1217 Special Acts, of the State of Florida. The legislative branch of the City is
composed of a Mayor and four (4) members elected Council. The City Council is responsible
for the establishment and adoption of policy. The execution of such policy is the responsibility
of the Council appointed City Manager.
In evaluating how to define the government, for financial reporting purposes, the City has
considered all potential component units. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily
on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the
organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate
organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and
either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization
to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary
government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental
organizations that are fiscally dependent on it.
A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly
influence the programs, projects or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided
by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government
(a) is entitled to the organizations' resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed
the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is
obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. In applying the above criteria, the
City has one blended component unit as follows:
The Citv of Clermont Community Redevelopment Fund
The City of Clermont created the Downtown Redevelopment Agency in May of 1997. This is a
dependent taxing district established in accordance with Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes.
Notification to affected taxing agency was done in compliance with Chapter 163.346, Part III,
Florida Statutes. The incremental annual increase in tax over the base years will be used to
fund projects designed to enhance and improve the described area. The City Council, being
the duly elected governmental body for the designated area, passed Resolution 97-950, which
established the City of Clermont as the Redevelopment Agency for the purpose of carrying out
the community redevelopment programs and plans within the area. Through Ordinance 359-M
the City established the Community Redevelopment Trust Fund to account for all transactions
generated by this special revenue fund.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
B. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the
statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of
the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1)
charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. 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 government considers revenues
to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal
period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable
due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of
the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available
only when cash is received by the City.
The government reports the following funds:
Maior Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources of the general government, except those required to be
accounted for in another fund.
The Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund was established to account for the
proceeds of the Local Government Infrastructure Surtax. The proceeds and interest
accrued thereto, by law are only to be used to finance, plan and construct
infrastructure.
The Community Redevelopment Fund was established as a dependent taxing
district. The incremental annual increase in tax over the base years will be used to
fund projects designed to enhance and improve the described area.
Non-Maior Governmental Fund Twes
Special Revenue Funds account for specific revenue sources that are restricted by
law or administrative action to expenditures for specific purposes.
Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the
payment of principal and interest on certain long-term debt.
Capital Projects Fund account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition
or construction of major capital facilities.
Maior Proprietary Funds
Water Fund is used to account for the operations of the City's water system, which is
financed in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the costs,
including depreciation, of providing services to the general public on an ongoing
basis are financed primarily through user charges.

Maior Proprietary Funds (Continued)
Sewer Fund is used to account for the operations of the City's sewer system, which
is financed in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the costs,
including depreciation, of providing services to the general public on an ongoing
basis are financed primarily through user charges.
Sanitation Fund is used to account for the fiscal activities of the City's refuse
collection and disposal operation.
Non -Major Proprietary Funds
Stormwater Fund (Enterprise Fund) is used to account for the fiscal activities of the
City's stormwater drainage operation, as well as the funding and payment of related
debt.
Internal Service Fund is used to account for the costs of group insurance which are
charged to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds
Pension Trust Funds account for activities of police officers, firefighters and general
employees retirement plans which accumulate resources for pension benefit
payments to qualified employees.
Private -sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,
1989, generally are followed in both the government -wide and proprietary fund financial
statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of
following subsequent private -sector guidance for their business -type activities and
enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow
subsequent private -sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are other charges between the
City's water and sewer function and various other functions of the government. Elimination
of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
September 30, 2008
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues
include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating 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 City's water, sewer, sanitation and stormwater utility
funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The City also recognizes as
operating revenue the meter fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers
to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds 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 nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
The government's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on
hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Investments of the City are reported at fair value. The City's investments consist
of investments authorized per their investment policy adopted in accordance with
Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The City has implemented Government
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment
Risk Disclosures.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from
other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from
other funds" (i.e., the non -current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds."

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity - (Continued)
2. Receivables and Payables - (Continued)
Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business -type activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements
as "internal balances".
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset
by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate
that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available
financial resources.
All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectables. The County
bills and collects property taxes and remits them to the City. City property tax
revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current
receivables.
All property is reassessed according to its fair value on the lien date, or January
1 of each year. Taxes are levied on October 1 of each year. Discounts are
allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of November, 3% in the
month of December, 2% in the month of January, and 1 % in the month of
February. The taxes paid in March are without discount. All unpaid taxes
become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. On
or around May 31 following the tax year, certificates are sold for all delinquent
taxes on real property.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed
rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods
and are recorded as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial
statements.
4. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City's enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain
resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the
balance sheet because they are maintained in separate bank accounts and their
use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Assets so designated are identified
as restricted assets on the balance sheet.

5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure
assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the
applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -
wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with
an initial, individual cost of $750 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of
one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost
if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated
fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of
business -type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Capital assets of the City are depreciated using the straight line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings
10-50
Improvements
15-50
Infrastructure
30-50
Equipment & machinery

6. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused
vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the
government -wide and proprietary financial statements. A portion of sick pay is
accrued for employees with at least ten (10) years of service. A liability for these
amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for
example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. For
governmental activities, compensated absences are generally liquidated by the
general fund.
7. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the
fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are
reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type
activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and
discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of
the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of
the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as
deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current
period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as 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.
8. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund
balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally
restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund
balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.

Note 2 - Prior Period Adjustment
Beginning net assets in the water, sewer and stormwater funds have been adjusted for the
effects of certain construction in progress related costs that were incorrectly expensed in the
prior year. As a result, prior year operating income was understated by $583,994 in the water
fund, $54,817 in the sewer fund, and $65,844 in the stormwater fund.
Beginning fund balance of the General fund has been adjusted for removing an expenditure
twice that did not belong in the prior fiscal year. The effect was to overstate the change in fund
balance in the prior year by $250,769.
Note 3 - Reconciliation of Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements:
A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government -Wide
Statement of Activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds
and changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government -wide
statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that "Governmental
funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost
of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense." The details of this $11,717,216 difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 13,561,862
Depreciation expense (1,844,646)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances -
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental
activities $ 11,717,216
Another element of that reconciliation states that "the issuance of long-term debt (e.g.,
bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the
repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets." The
details of this $73,724 difference are as follows:
Debt issued or incurred
Loan proceeds $ (8,250,000)
Principal repayment 8,176,276
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances -
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental
activities $ (73,724)

reported as expenditures in governmental funds." The details of this difference are as

Accrued interest payable (4,926)
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances -

Note 4 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability:
Budgetary Information -
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
(1) Prior to the end of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October
1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of
financing them.
(2) Budget workshops are scheduled as needed.
(3) The general summary of the budget and notice of public hearing is published in
the local newspaper.
(4) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
(5) Prior to October 1, the budgets are legally enacted through passage of a
resolution.
(6) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within
departments; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any
department must be approved by the City Council.
(7) The level of classification detail at which expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations is the department level.

Budgetary Information - (Continued)
(8) Appropriations lapse at the close of the fiscal year to the extent they have not
been expended. Encumbrance accounting is not used by the City.
(9) Budgets are adopted for the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service
funds and the capital projects fund on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles, except as described below under Budget Basis of
accounting. Budgets are also adopted for the enterprise funds: however, these
data are not presented under generally accepted accounting principles.
(10) The City Council, by Ordinance or Resolution, may make supplemental
appropriations in excess of those originally estimated for the year up to the
amount of available revenues. Budgeted amounts presented in the
accompanying financial statements have been adjusted for legally authorized
revisions.
Budgetary Basis of Accounting -
The city includes a portion of the prior year's fund balances represented by unappropriated
liquid assets remaining in the fund as budgeted revenue in the succeeding year. The
results of operations on a GAAP basis do not recognize the fund balance allocation as
revenue as it represents prior periods' excess of revenues over expenditures. The City
does not budget for capital outlay expenditures and other financing sources related to the
acquisition of assets through notes payable. Also, the City does not budget for the state
pension contributions that must be recorded as intergovernmental revenue and public
safety expenditures in the General Fund GAAP financial statements.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 the following adjustments are necessary to
convert General Fund revenues, expenditures, and other financing sources on the GAAP
basis to the budgetary basis:

Note 5 - Cash and Investments:
Deposits
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $154,424 and the bank balance
was $366,645. Fiduciary fund cash held by the pension fund is not in the City's bank. All
bank deposits were fully covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral held in
banks that are members of the State of Florida's Collateral Pool as specified under Florida
law. Florida Statutes provide for collateral pooling by banks and savings and loans. This
limits local government deposits to "authorized depositories".
Investments
Investments in all fund types are stated at fair value, which is the amount for which an
investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced liquidation sale. Fair value is based on quoted market prices. Changes in the
fair value of investments are recognized as revenue and included in investment income.
The City's investment policies are governed by state statute and city ordinance. Authorized
investments are:
(a) The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust (SBA).
(b) SEC registered money market funds.
(c) Interest -bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories.
(d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.
(e) Federal agencies and instrumentalities.

the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF). Investments held in this fund
consist of corporate bonds and stocks and cash equivalents. The fund is stated at fair
value, and investment earnings are allocated to participants in the fund based on their
equity in this pooled investment account is stated at fair value as provided by the Florida

Credit Risk:
The City's investment policy limits credit risk by restricting authorized investments to
those described above.
Custodial Credit Risk:
In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's
deposits may not be returned to it. The City's investment policy requires that bank
deposits be secured as provided by Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. This law requires
local governments to deposit funds only in financial institutions designated as qualified
public depositories by the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, and creates
the Public Deposits Trust Fund, a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to
assess its member financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a default or
insolvency has occurred. At September 30, 2008, all of the city's bank deposits were
in qualified public depositories.

Note 5 - Cash and Investments (Continued):
Investments - (Continued)
For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty,
the government will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At September 30, 2008,
none of the investments listed are exposed to custodial credit risk because their
existence is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The City's investment policy requires diversification, but does not specify limits on
types of investments.
Interest Rate Risk:
The City's investment policy does not specifically address interest rate risk, however
the general investment policy is to apply the prudent -person rule: Investments are
made as a prudent person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence,
to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and in general, avoid speculative
investments. The City manages its exposure to declines in fair values by investing
primarily in pooled investments that have a weighted average maturity of less than
three months.

Note 10 - Retirement Plans:
The City maintains three separate single -employer, defined benefit plans for general
employees, sworn police officers and firefighters, as well as a defined contribution plan for
general employees. The investment and administrative agent for the defined benefit plans is
the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund, an agent of the multiple -employer Public Employee
Retirement System. The assets of the defined contribution plan is administered by Met Life.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Each plan is independently governed by separate boards of
trustees. Assets may not be transferred between plans, or used for any purpose other than to
benefit each plan's participants as defined in their authorizing ordinances. Each board
contracts with the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF), a private, not -for -profit
corporation established by the Florida League of Cities (FLC) for FLC members who wish to
use its services. The FMPTF acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its
members, contracting with a bank custodian, investment manager and actuary to provide a
commingled investment fund and plan valuation services. These plans are included as part of
the City's reporting entity in Pension Trust Funds. The Clermont City Council adopted and
may amend plan provisions by resolution.
Stand-alone audited financial statements of the FMPTF are maintained on file at the FLC
offices in Tallahassee, Florida, and are available upon request to the Pension Services
Division.
Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies
Basis of Accounting - The Plans' financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis
of accounting. Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the
contributions are due. Employer contributions to each Plan are recognized when due and the
employer has made a formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds
are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of each plan.
Method Used to Value Investments - Investments are reported at fair value. Short-term
investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a
national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current
exchange rates. Investments that do not have an established market are reported at
estimated fair value. There are no investments that exceed 5% of the plan net assets.
Publicly available financial reports for each plan, that include detailed actuarial data, can be
obtained from the City's Administrative Services Department.

defined under Florida Statutes, Chapters 175 and 185, which covers all sworn police officers
and firefighters. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon
employment with the City, and they are vested in the plan after ten years of service.
The normal retirement date for firefighters is the attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service,
or earlier attainment of age 52 and 25 years of service. The normal retirement date for police
officers is the attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service, or 20 years of service, regardless
of age. The normal retirement benefit is the number of years of credited service prior to
October 1, 2002 multiplied by 2.25%, and the number of years of credited service after
October 1, 2002 multiplied by 3%, and multiplied by the average final monthly compensation.
Early retirement is available after age 50 and 10 years of service; however, the early
retirement benefit is reduced by 2% for each year before the normal retirement date.
Contributions - The City's actuarially determined contribution rate per the October 1, 2007
actuarial valuations is 0% for general employees, 22.99% for police officers and 19.66% for
firefighters. Police officers make a minimum mandatory contribution of 3% and firefighters

Note 10 - Retirement Plans (Continued):
General Employee Defined Contribution Pension Plan - The defined Contribution
Pension Plan for General Employees of the City of Clermont was established October 1,
1985, as defined in Chapter 16, Article IV, of the Clermont Code, and is available to all
permanent general employees of the City, once they have completed one year of
employment. Employees are fully vested in the plan after ten years of service.
In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan,
plus investment earnings. Contributions for, and interest forfeited by, employees who
terminate employment before five years of service are used to reduce the City's current
period contributions.
Covered payroll for this Plan for fiscal year 2008 was $4,440,059; the City's total payroll for
City employees was $9,699,959.
The City contributes annually to the pension account of each active participant an amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the employee's annual compensation. No contribution is
required by employees. The City of Clermont City Council adopted and may amend plan
provision by resolution.
The actual contribution made by the City for fiscal year 2008 was $444,309.
Note 11 - Post -Retirement Benefits:
Retired employees have the option of continuing the same type of health and dental
insurance coverage available to them while they were employed with the City. The cost of
the premiums is shared by the City and the retirees.
Note 12 - Risk Management:
During fiscal year 1990, the City established an internal service fund to account for its
uninsured risk of loss for employee medical and dental coverage. Under this program, the
fund provides coverage for the first $50,000 per year in medical, dental, or prescription
claims for each covered employee. The City purchases commercial insurance for claims in
excess of coverage provided by the fund with a total aggregate stop -loss of $2,000,000.
There has been no reduction in insurance coverage from that carried in the prior year.
Claims provided have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal
years.

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies:
Litigation - The City is engaged in various liability claims incidental to the conduct of its
general government operations at September 30, 2008. While the ultimate outcome of the
litigation cannot be determined at this time, management believes that any amounts not
covered by insurance, if any, resulting from these lawsuits would not materially affect the
financial position of the City.
Risk Management - The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of,
damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which
the City carries commercial insurance. The City has obtained excess insurance coverage
with varying retentions and limits to further limit exposure to large losses. There have been
no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year and settlements have not
exceeded insurance coverage during the past three years.

CERTIFIED Punic ACCOUNTANTS AND ADVISORS
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND
ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Clermont, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of City of Clermont, Florida, as of and for the year
ended September 30, 2008, and have issued our report thereon dated March 19, 2009. 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.
Internal Control Over Financial Reportinq
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management of employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control
deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the City's ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood
that a misstatement of the City's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will
not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies,
that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial
statements will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and accordingly would
not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
107
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit
and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City of Clermont, Florida,
in a separate letter dated March 19, 2009. We did not audit the City's response, and
accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the City Council
and the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and is not intended to be, and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND ADVISORS
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR
FEDERAL PROGRAM AND STATE PROJECT AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Clermont, Florida
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of Clermont, Florida with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Executive Office of the Governor's
State Projects Compliance Supplement, that are applicable to each of its major federal programs
and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2008. The City of Clermont, Florida's major
federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of
the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal
programs and state projects is the responsibility of the City of Clermont, Florida's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Clermont, Florida's compliance based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; OMB
Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, and Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state
project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of
Clermont, Florida's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City of Clermont,
Florida's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Clermont, Florida, complied, in all material respects, with the
requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state
projects for the year ended September 30, 2008.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Clermont, Florida is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and
grants applicable to federal programs and state projects.
110
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Clermont, Florida's internal control
over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal
program or state project in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City of Clermont, Florida's internal control over compliance.
A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance 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 noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency,
or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a
federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type
of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be
prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies
in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weaknesses, as defined
above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, of the City, the Auditor
General of the State of Florida and federal or state awarding agencies and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
