CITY OF CLERMONT
Office of the City Manager
March 7, 2003
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Clermont
Clermont, Florida
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Clermont, Florida, for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, is hereby submitted. This report was prepared by
the City's Finance Department. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented
data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests
with the City. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that it
is presented in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of
operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds, and that
it includes the disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum
understanding of the City's financial activities.
THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
The City of Clermont, which occupies 11.5 square miles, was incorporated in 1916. The
City is located in south Lake County, approximately twenty-two miles west of the City of
Orlando and twenty-two miles southeast of the City of Leesburg. The City is
conveniently accessible to Orlando via Florida Highway 50.
The City is essentially residential in character and its economy is primarily centered in
retail trade as well as lodging, food and beverage establishments, which are tourism
oriented.
Lake County, located in Central Florida, is bounded to the north by Marion County, to
the south by Polk County, to the east by Orange County, Seminole County and Volusia
County, and to the west by Sumter County. Tavares, the County Seat, is located
approximately 190 miles southeast of Tallahassee, the State Capitol, and 50 miles
northeast of Orlando.
P.O. BOX 120219 • CLERMONT, FLORIDA 34712-0219
PHONE: 352/394-4081 • FAX: 352/394-1452
The City has a Council -Manager form of government, with a Mayor and four other
Council Members who are elected at large for two year staggered terms. Elections are
held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year. The City
employs a full-time manager who is the chief executive and administrative officer of the
City.
The City provides a full range of municipal services as directed by its charter. These
include Police and Fire Protection, Street and Sidewalk Maintenance, Planning and
Development, Code Enforcement, Animal/Mosquito Control, Recreational Facilities and
Programs, Cemetery and General Administrative functions. Clermont also operates and
maintains water, wastewater treatment, sanitation, and stormwater utilities. In addition,
during fiscal year 2001-2002, the City was the largest financial supporter of a private
library that serves city residents, as well as residents of the surrounding area.
The funds and entities related to the City of Clermont included in our Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, are those for which the City Council has financial
accountability. According to criteria outlined in Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) statements, financial accountability is present if the City Council appoints
a voting majority of a component unit's governing body and has the ability to impose its
will on that organization or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific
financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. Based on these
criteria, the various funds and account groups shown in the table of contents are properly
included in this report.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
The City's accounting records for General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Projects and certain Trust and Agency Funds are maintained on a modified accrual basis
with revenues being recognized when they become measurable and available, while
expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Accounting records for the
Enterprise, Internal Service and certain Trust and Agency Funds are maintained on a full
accrual basis.
In developing and modifying the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to
provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance regarding:
1. The safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and
2. The reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets.
11
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that:
1. The cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and
2. The evaluation of , costs and benefits requires estimates and judgements by
management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. The City's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of
proper recording of financial transactions.
Budgetary integration is established in the accounting records for control purposes at the
object level. The City Manager is authorized to approve transfers within departments,
but changes in total budget appropriations for a department must have prior approval of
the City Council. Budgetary reports are issued and reviewed monthly by staff.

GENERAL FUND
The General Fund encompasses the general government functions of the City and all
other functions not accounted for in other funds.
Unreserved, undesignated fund balance increased 20.7% from $2,119,794 to $2,558,824.
Fund balance is the amount of resources available for expenditure in future years. The
increase in fund balance is primarily due to actual revenues exceeding anticipated
revenues.
Revenues and other financing sources of the current fiscal year as compared with those of
the previous year are presented as follows:

15.5%
General Fund revenues increased 15.5% from $6,142,905 to $7,094,659 primarily due to
increases in taxes, licenses and permits, and intergovernmental revenues. Taxes
increased primarily due to an increase in franchise fees, utility service taxes and ad
valorem revenues. The revenue increases were the result of growth and not a change in
the City's tax rate structure. Clermont continues to enjoy being one of the lowest taxed
communities in Central Florida.
Licenses and Permits increased primarily due to a significant increase in building permits
as is documented in Table 8 of the statistical section. Intergovernmental revenue
increased 19.8% primarily due to the receipt of a capital recreation grant in the 2001-
2002 fiscal year and growth in state revenue receipts.
Due to declining economic conditions following the September 11, 2001 tragedy,
investment income has decreased 36.6%.

General Fund expenditures increased 29.9% from $5,074,820 to $6,590,755 primarily
due to an increase in personnel and operating expenditures. Public Safety increased due
to the addition of two (2) Police Officers, three (3) Firefighter/Paramedics and one (1)
Firefighter/Inspector. Human Services expenditures increased due to the addition of
mosquito control services in the City. Physical Environment expenditures decreased due
to the reporting of certain personnel related costs in the Transportation category. The
transfer out in 2001-02 was a one-time transfer to the Stormwater Fund for the Center
Lake project.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
The Infrastructure Fund accounts 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, has been in effect since 1987. In November 2001, Lake County
residents voted to continue the surtax for another fifteen (15) years. The surtax may only
be expended on items pertaining to the construction of fixed capital outlay.
Infrastructure surtax funds were used in the fiscal year 2001-02 to subsidize the
downtown revitalization project, assist in the purchase of land for recreational purposes
and annual debt service associated with the 1989 Sales Tax and 2002 Public
Improvement Revenue Bond issues.
v
IMPACT FEE FUNDS
Impact Fee Funds account for the police, fire and recreation 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 police, fire and recreational services.
Comparative impact fee amounts for the last three fiscal years are as follows:
2001-2002
2000-2001
1999-2000
Police Impact Fees
$405,167
$222,503
$201,944
Fire Impact Fees
$387,518
$218,862
$237,720
Recreation Impact Fees
$521,486
$503,454
$556,481
Total Impact Fees
$1,314,171
$944,819
$996,145
Total impact fees increased from $944,819 to $1,314,171 primarily due to increased
commercial construction as outlined in Table 8 of the Statistical Section. Two of the
largest commercial projects include Home Depot and Super Target stores.
Impact fees were used to purchase various equipment and vehicles. In addition,
recreation impact fees were the primary funding source for the purchase of land for a
future community center and lighting at Hancock Park. Fire impact fees were used for
annual debt service associated with the 2002 Public Improvement Revenue Bonds and the
purchase of a new squad truck for Fire Station No. 2.
BLOCK GRANT FUND
The City received a $600,000 Community Development Block Grant from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development in fiscal year 1995-96. As of September
30, 2002 there is a mortgage receivable balance of $32,833. This receivable is amortized
over a 5-year period from when the mortgage was signed. The receivable will be fully
amortized by the end of fiscal year 2002-03.
The City received a $600,000 Community Development Block Grant from the State of
Florida during the 2000-01 fiscal year. This grant was used for the Downtown
Streetscape project during the 2001-02 fiscal year. The project included street
resurfacing, new sidewalks and parking facilities. Attractive lighting, landscaping, and
benches were added also.
vi
DEBT SERVICE: FUND
The Sales Tax Revenue Bond Sinking Fund is maintained to account for the
accumulation of resources and the payment of debt service on the 1989 Sales Tax
Revenue Bond. The bond was issued to provide funding for the development of the
Palatlakaha Recreation Area and construction of the Public Services Complex and Public
Safety Building.
The 2002 Public Improvement Revenue Bond Fund was created to account for the
accumulation of resources and payment of principal and interest for the Public
Improvement Revenue Bonds. The bond was issued to provide funding for the
construction of a new City Hall and to refinance a line of credit loan which was obtained
in 2000 to provide funding for the construction of Fire Station No. 1.
CAPITAL PROJECT FUND
The Building Construction Fund is maintained to account for the financial resources and
related expenditures pertaining to the construction of a new City Hall. The
groundbreaking ceremony for this project was held June 21, 2002 with the estimated
completion date in July 2003. As of the end of the fiscal year $1,025,377 was spent for
construction. Financing for the project is provided through the proceeds of the 2002
Public Improvement Revenue Bond.

of September 2002.
An operating loss was incurred in 2001-02 primarily due to the provision of odor control
services at the City's East Wastewater Treatment Plant and lift stations. Without this

vui
STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The Stormwater Utility Fund accounts for the maintenance and improvement of the
City's stormwater drainage system. The stormwater utility fee is charged to all property
owners/tenants throughout the City and is based on the impervious area of their property.
Comparative data for the last three fiscal years is as follows:

decreased due to one-time payments for professional services for Center Lake in fiscal
year 2000-2001 of $39,150. Excluding these payments, operating expenses increased
24.1 %.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
The City maintains a Group Self -Insurance Fund to account for the accumulation of
resources and the payment of insurance claims pertaining to the employee health and
insurance coverage. The modified Self -Insurance Program is responsible for health and
dental claims up to $40,000 per employee. Reinsurance provides coverage in excess of
the City's limits up to $1,000,000 per employee.
The Group Self -Insurance Fund had a negative retained earnings balance of $63,900 as of
September 30, 2002. The negative retained earnings was primarily due to paid medical
claims exceeding premiums collected. As a result, the City approved a premium
adjustment during the 2002-03 fiscal year.
TRUST FUNDS
Trust Funds account for assets held by the City as Trustee for individuals, private
organizations and other governmental units and/or funds.
The General Employees', Police Officers' and Volunteer Firefighters' Pension Trust
Funds account for the accumulation of resources to be used for the retirement annuities of
all city employees.
The Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Fund accounts for monies received from people
buying lots in the City cemetery. The principal must be kept intact, but the interest may
be transferred to General Fund to defray the cost of cemetery operation and maintenance.
ix
The Community Redevelopment Fund accounts for funds administered by the Downtown
Clermont Redevelopment Agency. The agency is authorized to use the funds to finance
community redevelopment projects within the downtown area. In fiscal year 2001-02 the
Community Redevelopment Fund made a $40,887 contribution to the Community
Development Block Grant Fund to provide matching funds for the Downtown
Streetscape project.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS
The general assets of the City of Clermont are those fixed assets used in the performance
of general governmental functions and exclude the fixed assets of the Proprietary Funds.
As of September 30, 2002, the general fixed assets of the City totaled $20,239,904. This
amount represents the original cost of the assets and is, therefore, considerably less than
their present value. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not recognized in the City's
accounting system.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The City maintains an investment policy that is based on the theory of minimizing credit
and market risks, maintaining reasonable liquidity to meet maturing obligations, and
maximizing return through the use of various investment sources.
The City's investment program consists of funds invested in overnight repurchase
agreements, the Florida State Board of Administration Investment Pool, and in United
States Treasury securities. The overnight repurchase agreements are in relation to a
banking service agreement the City maintains with a local qualified public depository.
The agreement provides that a specific rate of return based on the bank's federal funds
rate and amount of excess funds to be credited to the City's account on a daily basis.
The Florida State Board of Administration Investment Pool is managed by the State of
Florida and is available to any governmental agency within the State. The major
advantages the pool offers to small cities such as Clermont are the higher rate of return
from the large amount of funds available to invest and the liquidity of the invested funds.
Access to the invested funds is on a daily basis.
X
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City has the following long-term debt issues outstanding on September 30, 2002
➢ A long-term note issued in 1980 to finance the purchase of the Library Building.
➢ A Sales Tax Revenue Bond issued in 1989 to provide funding for the development of
the Palatlakaha Recreation Area and construction of the Public Services Complex and
Police Department Building.
➢ A Capital Improvement Revenue Note issued in 1998 to provide funding for the
purchase of computer equipment and a fire truck.
➢ A Capital Improvement Revenue Note issued in 1999 to provide funding for the
purchase of a fire truck.
➢ A Public Improvement Revenue Bond issued in 2002 to provide funds for the
construction of a new City Hall facility and pay off a $2,000,000 line of credit used to
finance Fire Station No. 1 and City Hall engineering and design costs.
➢ A Water and Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bond issued in 2000 to defease its
outstanding 1993 City of Arcadia Dedicated Pool Local Government Revenue Bonds,
refinance the City's outstanding 1996 Bond Anticipation Note, and finance a portion
of the City's sewer treatment plant expansion and various other capital improvements
to the City's Water and Sewer System.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The City maintains Commercial Liability and Worker's Compensation insurance through
programs sponsored and administered by the Florida League of Cities. The limit of
protection for the liability coverage is $1,500,000 per occurrence. The City is not aware
of any pending or threatened litigation, which would not be covered by insurance.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
The overall financial position of the City is good, however, the pressures placed on the
City services by the recent growth of the City requires careful short and long term
planning. The City's tax base is expanding with new development providing additional
revenues. Along with this additional development comes increased demands on all City
services.
xi
The revenue stream created by growth is usually several months behind the demand for
services, which places additional pressures on all departments to have the ability to
continue to provide the necessary level of service within budget constraints.
Fortunately, the City currently enjoys one of the area's lowest ad valorem millage rates
and charges for service are within acceptable ranges. This allows for necessary
adjustments in the future to meet the demands for continued and expanded services at
acceptable levels.
We must carefully monitor the economy and related growth issues so as not to expand
too quickly while continuing to budget adequately for the continuance of services at a
level all of our residents have come to enjoy. A combination of adequate planning,
conservative budgeting, and sound management practices should. help maintain the City's
financial stability.
CE RTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
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, Florida, for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2001. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of
recognition for excellence in state and local government financial reporting.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an
easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, whose
contents conform to program standards. Such reports must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of
Clermont has received a Certificate of Achievement for the last thirteen consecutive
fiscal years. We believe our current report continues to conform to the Certificate of
Achievement Program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Florida Statutes and the City Charter require an annual financial audit of the financial
statements of the City of Clermont by an independent certified public accountant selected
by the City Council. This requirement has been satisfied and the Auditor's unqualified
opinion has been included in this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Clermont, Florida
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Clermont,
Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002, as listed in the table of contents. These
general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose 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
general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general
purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the City of Clermont Florida, as of September 30, 2002,
and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types and the changes
in pension fund net assets 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
December 13, 2002 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. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering
the results of our audit.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The City of Clermont, Florida was incorporated December 1916, under the laws of the State of
Florida and operates under the council-manager form of government under its charter
adopted pursuant to H.B. 2223, Ch. 67-1217 Special Acts 1967, of the State of Florida.
The accounting policies of the City of Clermont, Florida, conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governments. The
following is a summary of the more significant policies:
Reporting Entity- Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require that these financial statements present the City (the primary government) and its
component units. Component units generally are legally separate entities for which a primary
government is financially accountable. Financial accountability ordinarily involves meeting
both of the following criteria: the primary government is accountable for the potential
component unit (i.e., the primary government appoints the voting majority of its board) and the
primary government is able to impose its will upon the potential component unit, or there is a
possibility that the potential component unit may provide specific financial benefits or impose
specific financial burdens on the primary government. The component unit discussed in this
note is included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of its operational or
financial relationship with the City. Based upon the application of these criteria, the City has
one blended component unit as follows:
The City of Clermont Community Redevelopment Trust 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 expendable trust fund.
Fund Accounting - The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds or account
groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each
fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for
which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The
various funds and account groups of the City are as follows:
16
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Governmental Fund Types
General Fund - To account for all financial resources except those required to be
accounted for in another fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not
allocated by law or contractual agreement to another fund are accounted for in this fund.
The general operating expenditures, fixed charges, and capital improvement costs that
are not paid through other funds are paid from the general fund.
Special Revenue Funds - To account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources
(other than expendable trust, or major capital projects) requiring separate accounting
because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action.
Debt Service Fund - To account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of general long-term debt principal and interest.
Capital Projects Funds - To account for the acquisition and construction of major capital
facilities other than those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds.
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds - To account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing body is
that costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be
financed or recovered primarily through user charges, or where the governing body has
decided that periodic determination of net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,
public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
Internal Service Funds - To account for operations that provide services to other
departments and funds on a cost -reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Trust Funds - To account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity for individuals,
private organizations, other governments, and/or other funds. When these assets are held
under the terms of a formal trust agreement, either a pension trust fund, a nonexpendable
trust fund, or an expendable trust fund is used. The terms "nonexpendable" and
"expendable" refer to whether or not the government is under an obligation to maintain the
trust principal.
17
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets Account Group - To account for all fixed assets of the City, other
than those accounted for in the enterprise funds.
General Long -Term Debt Account Group - To account for the outstanding long-term
obligations not otherwise recorded in enterprise, nonexpendable trust and pension trust
funds.
Basis of Accounting - The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is
determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds and expendable trust funds
are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this
measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the
balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and
other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net
current assets.
All proprietary funds, nonexpendable trust funds and pension trust funds are accounted for on
a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets
and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance
sheet or statement of plan net assets. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into
contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary fund -type operating
statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total
assets. The City has chosen not to use FASB pronouncements issued after November 30,
1989, for its proprietary activities.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all governmental fund types and
expendable trust funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and
available,) "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
"available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. The government considers property taxes as available if
they are collected within 60 days after year-end. A one-year availability period is used for
revenue recognition for all other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded
when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are
recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt
service fund for payments to be made early in the following year.

CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
All major revenues, except property taxes and licenses, are considered measurable and
available and, as such, susceptible to accrual.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by proprietary fund types, pension trust funds and
nonexpendable trust funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — For purposes of cash flows, cash includes amounts in
demand deposits as well as short-term investments with a maturity date within three months of
the date acquired by the government. Governmental fund investments, proprietary fund
investments, and pension funds investments are reported at fair value.
Accounts Receivable From Other Governments — Those amounts that represent a claim
against another government, and are measurable, have been accrued.
Receivables — Enterprise Funds maintain the direct write-off method of bad debt recognition
due to the immateriality of amounts. The City has no concentrations of credit risk.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at cost, using the FIFO method. Inventories are
maintained by the General Fund and the Enterprise Funds. The City uses the consumption
method in expensing governmental fund inventories.
Restricted Assets — The restricted assets shown on the Enterprise Fund- balance .sheet
represent those assets of the Enterprise Fund which are earmarked for specific purposes and
cannot be used for paying general obligations of the Fund. The corresponding liability
designated as payable from restricted assets represents the current maturities for which the
restricted assets are accumulated.
Amortization of Bond Discounts and Issuance Costs — Bond discounts and issuance costs
are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the
life of the bonds. Amortization of bond issuance costs amounted to $13,380 for the 2002
fiscal year. Amortization of bond discount, included in interest expense, amounted to $38,565
for the 2002 fiscal year.
19
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Fixed Assets — General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to acquire or
construct them. Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as expenditures in
governmental funds, and the related assets are reported in the general fixed assets account
group. All purchased fixed assets are valued at cost where historical records are available
and at estimated historical cost where no historical record exists. Donated fixed assets are
valued at their estimated fair market value on the date received.
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. Improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related fixed assets, as applicable.
Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of roads, bridges, curbs and
gutters, street and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems are capitalized by the
City along with other general fixed assets.
Assets in the general fixed assets account group are not depreciated. Depreciation of
buildings, equipment and vehicles in the proprietary fund types is computed using the straight-
line method, over the following estimated useful lives.
Useful
Proproetacy Type_ Funds Lives s (y .ears)
Buildings
Land Improvements
Equipment
25 - 40
5-40
3-35
Interest is capitalized on proprietary fund assets acquired with tax-exempt debt. The amount
of interest to be capitalized is calculated by offsetting interest expense incurred from the date
of the borrowing until completion of the project with interest earned on invested proceeds over
the same period.
Compensated Absences — The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation when earned by
the employee. Upon termination, the employee receives a cash benefit for the number of
days accrued at the employee's current wage rate. The City pays a portion of unused sick
leave for employees with at least ten (10) years of service. Such amounts have been accrued
in the accompanying financial statements. Vacation pay is accrued when incurred in
proprietary funds are reported as a fund liability. Vacation and sick pay that is expected to be
liquidated with expendable available financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a
fund liability of the governmental fund that will pay it. Amounts not expected to be liquidated
with expendable available financial resources are reported in the general long-term debt
account group. No expenditure is reported for these amounts.
20
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Long-term Obligations — Long-term debt is recognized as a liability of a governmental fund
when due. For other long-term obligations, only that portion expected to be financed from
expendable available financial resources is reported as a fund liability of a governmental fund.
The remaining portion of such obligations is reported in the general long-term debt account
group. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from proprietary fund operations are
accounted for in those funds.
Risk Management — The City exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of,
damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; natural disasters; and job -related
illnesses or injuries to employees. Significant losses are covered through participation in a
local government non -assessable self-insurance pool. For these insured programs, there
have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage. Settlement amounts have not
exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the three prior years.
The City provides coverage for the first $40,000 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 City with a total aggregate stop -loss of $1,000,000.
Fund Equity
Proprietary Funds — Contributed capital consists of funds from developers, and federal
and state (capital) grants through September 30, 2000. There have been no additions to
contributed capital since then because the City was required to implement GASB
Statement No. 33 This statement requires governmental entities that use proprietary fund
accounting to recognize capital contributions and impact fees received as revenues, not
contributed capital. However, governments are not allowed to restate contributed capital
arising from periods prior to implementation of Statement No. 33 until implementation of
GASB Statement No. 34. Grants received for operating assistance are recorded as non -
operating revenue.
Reservations of retained earnings are created by increases in assets restricted for debt
service, renewal and replacement, and other contractual obligations. These increases
result from earnings on restricted assets and other intrafund transfers to (from) restricted
accounts. Earnings on restricted assets are included in net income of the Proprietary
Funds. Reserves are not established for bond proceeds deposited into construction
accounts.
Governmental Funds — Reserves of the governmental funds are limited to the portions of
fund balance, which are either not subsequently appropriated for expenditures or legally
segregated for specific use.
21
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
Interfund Transactions — Transactions which constitute reimbursements to a fund for
expenditures (expenses) initially made are recorded as expenditures or expenses (as
appropriate) in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of the expenditures (expenses) in
the reimbursed fund.
All interfund transactions except advances and reimbursements are accounted for as
transfers. Non -recurring or non -routine transfers of equity between funds are considered
residual equity transfers. All other interfund transactions are treated as operating
transfers.
Property Tax Recognition — The key dates in the property tax cycle (latest date where
appropriate) are as follows:
Assessment/lien date
January 1
Assessment roll validate
July 1
Millage resolution approved
September 30
Beginning of fiscal year for which taxes have been levied
October 1
Tax bills rendered and due
November 1
Property taxes payable:
Maximum discount
November 30
Delinquent
April 1
Tax certificates sold
May 31
Property taxes are collected and remitted by the county tax collector. The City does not
accrue its portion of county held tax sale certificates because such amounts are neither
measurable nor available at balance sheet date.
The statutory maximum tax rates, which may be assessed by the City, are as follows:
Ad valorem millage
Utility tax (electric, gas telephone)
Utility tax (telecommunications service tax)
10 mills
10%
5.52%
Total Columns on the Combined Statements — Overview — Total columns on the
Combined Statements — Overview are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are
presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial
position, results of operations, or changes in cash flows in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Neither is such data
comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation
of this data.
22
CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
September 30, 2002
Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability:
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting — Budgets are legally adopted for all of the City funds
except the internal service fund and the pension trust funds. Budgets for governmental funds
and the expendable trust fund are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles. The budgets for the enterprise funds are prepared on the modified
accrual basis of accounting, which is not the same basis of accounting that is used to account
for the actual results of operations. The actual results of operations are accounted for on the
accrual basis. The following item indicates the primary difference between the budgetary
basis and the GAAP basis used to account for the results of operations in the enterprise
funds:
Depreciation expense is not budgeted; however, expenses for capital outlays are
budgeted. These outlays have been capitalized into fixed assets and eliminated from
the results of operations on a GAAP basis.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. Prior to August 31 st, the City Manager submits to the City Council the proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1st. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to October 1st, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution.

Note 7 - Retirement Plans (Continued):
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 Commission 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.
Summ2W of Signifin2nt A _ _o inting 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.
Description of Plans — The General Employees Defined Benefit Pension Plan is for general
employees hired prior to September 30, 1985. The police officer and firefighters defined
benefit pension plans are both local law, single employer, defined benefit pension plans as
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.
Benefits are available after normal retirement at age 55 and 10 year of service, or earlier
attainment of age 52 and 25 years of service. The normal retirement benefit is the number of
years of credited service multiplied by 2% and multiplied by 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.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
The Honorable Mayor and
City Commissioners
City of Clermont, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Clermont, Florida, as of
and for the year ended September 30, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated December
13, 2002. 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.
Compliance — As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Clermont,
Florida's general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants,
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 that are required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standards. However, we noted certain immaterial instances of noncompliance that we
have reported to management of the City of Clermont, Florida, in a separate letter dated December
13, 2002.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — In planning and performing our audit, we considered
the City of Clermont, Florida's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements
and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of
the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely
period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no
matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to
be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over
financial reporting that we have reported to management of City of Clermont, Florida in a separate
letter dated December 13, 2002.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE MAJOR
PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Clermont, Florida
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, that are applicable to the major federal program for the year ended
September 30, 2002. The City of Clermont's major federal program is 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 its
major federal program is the responsibility of the City of Clermont, Florida management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Clermont, Florida 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; and
OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations. Those
standards, and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about City of Clermont, Florida
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
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 its major federal program for the year ended
September 30, 2002.

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. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the
City of Clermont, Florida internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on
internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of
laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major state program
being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control
over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the City, the Auditor
General of the State of Florida and federal awarding agencies and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
