Origins of Clermont
Clermont, Florida, has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century, with its origins tied to the development of the central Florida region.
Early Settlement and Naming: Clermont was first settled in the mid-1800s, around the time when pioneers began to move into the area in search
of fertile land. The city's name, Clermont, was chosen by one of the early settlers, Arthur Wrotnowski, who named it after his birth place, Clermont-
Ferrand, France.
Development and Agriculture: In the late 1800s, Clermont was known for its fertile soil and became a popular location for citrus farming,
particularly for orange groves. Like much of central Florida, the agricultural boom helped shape the town's economy. Citrus farming was a key
economic driver, and the area saw the establishment of railroads, which allowed for better transportation of goods.
Growth and Incorporation: Clermont continued to grow throughout the early 20th century, and it was incorporated as a city in 1916. Its
development as a small agricultural community gave way to a more diversified economy as the town attracted new residents and businesses.
Post-World War II Boom: Like many cities in Florida, Clermont experienced significant growth in the years following World War II, with a shift
towards suburbanization. The city became more residential and began to attract tourists and retirees due to its proximity to Orlando and the
theme parks that were emerging in the area.
Modern Day: Today, Clermont is known for its natural beauty, including Lake Minneola and the nearby hills, which are unique in the largely flat
landscape of central Florida. The city has grown rapidly in recent decades, becoming a hub for residential, commercial, and recreational
development, while still maintaining a connection to its agricultural past.

20th Century Clermont Clermont & Citrus
At the turn of the century, Clermont’s economy was centered on citrus
farming, with its fertile land and ideal climate making it a prime
location for orange groves. The city began to gain recognition for its
citrus production, and local growers shipped fruit across the state and
beyond. Clermont officially became a city in 1916. Its agricultural base,
particularly citrus, was the driving force behind its early
development. The construction of the Florida Citrus Belt Railway in the
late 1800s helped boost growth, allowing easier transportation of
citrus and goods.
After World War II, Clermont saw a shift as people moved to Central
Florida for work and a more suburban lifestyle. While the citrus
industry remained significant, the city began to transition to a more
residential community, attracting those looking for a quieter, more
scenic environment near Orlando. Clermont’s nickname, "Gem of the
Hills", began to take hold as the city's scenic landscape—rolling hills,
lakes, and views—attracted tourists and new residents. The area’s
unique topography set it apart from the flatlands of much of Florida.
By the 1970s and 1980s, Clermont's growth surged as suburban
development took off. Residential neighborhoods, shopping centers,
and recreational facilities began to replace some of the older
agricultural lands. The city’s proximity to Orlando, with its growing
tourism industry, made it a desirable place for families and retirees.
The citrus industry began to wane, especially following severe freezes
in the 1980s that devastated many of the groves. The area saw a shift
away from agriculture toward a more diversified economy with a focus
on real estate and services.
By the late 1990s, Clermont’s population had expanded significantly as
more people moved to the area for its natural beauty and suburban
appeal. The city embraced new development while still maintaining its
unique charm. While the city was no longer reliant on citrus, new
businesses, housing developments, and tourism-based activities like
boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation became integral to the local
economy.
The cultivation of citrus in Florida dates back to the 19th century, with
the first commercial groves being established in the 1830s. Clermont,
with its fertile land and ideal climate, became a prime location for
citrus farming in the late 1800s. Early settlers started planting orange
groves and experimenting with citrus varieties.
Clermont was officially incorporated as a city in 1916, but by then,
citrus farming was already central to its identity. The city became
known for its abundant orange groves, with citrus production being a
major economic driver. The arrival of the Florida Citrus Belt Railway in
the late 1800s helped connect Clermont with other parts of Florida,
making it easier to transport citrus products to larger markets.
By the early 20th century, Clermont’s landscape was dominated by
citrus groves, and the city became known for the high quality of its
fruit, particularly oranges. Citrus was not only the main crop but also
the main export, as local growers supplied juice manufacturers and
markets across the U.S. In addition to fresh fruit, Clermont had several
citrus packing houses and juice processing plants, which contributed
to the town's economic prosperity. This industry attracted both
seasonal workers and permanent residents, and the city became one
of the key players in Florida's citrus-producing region. While the citrus
industry continued to be important during the Great Depression, the
economic challenges of the era hit Florida’s citrus growers hard, as
they struggled with lower prices and labor shortages. However, the
citrus industry recovered over time and continued to thrive.
After World War II, the demand for citrus continued, but Clermont also
began to see a shift from its agricultural base to a more suburban,
residential character. As Orlando and other nearby cities grew, more
people began moving to Clermont for its quiet atmosphere and
proximity to urban centers. In the 1980s, Florida’s citrus industry was
dealt a heavy blow by a series of hard freezes that destroyed
thousands of acres of citrus groves. Clermont, along with many other
parts of Central Florida, lost a significant portion of its citrus acreage.
The freeze, combined with other economic pressures, contributed to
the decline of Clermont’s dominance in the citrus industry.
By the 1990s, the citrus industry in Clermont had largely declined due
to a combination of freezes, citrus greening disease, competition from
other citrus-growing regions, and the rise of suburban development.

Gem of the Hills Choice of Champions
One of the most distinctive features of Clermont is its hilly terrain,
which is rare for Florida. The city is nestled in the Lake County region,
part of the Green Swamp, and offers vistas that overlook a series of
lakes and rivers. The rolling hills and the elevated terrain have earned
Clermont the affectionate title of "Gem of the Hills", especially in
contrast to Florida's otherwise flat landscape. The first settlers arrived
in the area around the 1850s, attracted by the rich soil and natural
beauty. Early on, Clermont was noted for its pine forests and fertile
land, which made it ideal for farming. In the late 19th century, the
settlement grew as more people were drawn to the area for its
peaceful environment and scenic views.
By the 1920s, Clermont’s natural beauty began to catch the attention
of developers, real estate agents, and tourists. The scenic hills
became a central selling point for the city, attracting visitors who
sought to escape the flatness of the rest of Florida. The city became
increasingly known for its panoramic views, peaceful ambiance, and
proximity to Orlando and other Florida attractions.
During this period, citrus farming was also booming, and Clermont
benefited from its role as a major center for citrus production.
However, it was the landscape that stood out, and the nickname "Gem
of the Hills" began to take hold, encapsulating the natural allure of the
region. People would visit the area to tour the citrus groves or enjoy
the picturesque views of the surrounding hills.
After World War II, as more people moved to Central Florida in search
of affordable housing, Clermont began to shift from a purely
agricultural town to a suburban community. Despite the growth in
population, the natural landscape remained a key part of the city’s
appeal. The hills, with their sweeping views and elevation, continued to
be an important feature of the city’s identity.
By the 1960s and 1970s, Clermont became increasingly known as a
peaceful, suburban retreat with stunning views. The city promoted
itself as a place where residents could enjoy the beauty of the hills
while still being close to the growing urban centers of Orlando and
Lake County. The city's tagline as "Gem of the Hills" was increasingly
used in advertisements and brochures.
The Florida Citrus Tower, built in the 1950s, was a prominent landmark
for the city, but it was the development of training facilities and the
city's natural landscape that set Clermont on the path to becoming the
"City of Champions." The area’s rolling hills, wide open spaces, and
warm climate made it ideal for outdoor sports training year-
round. Starting in the 1960s and continuing through the 1970s,
Clermont attracted athletes and coaches looking for ideal training
conditions. Track and field athletes, particularly, appreciated the area’s
terrain for running and cycling, leading to the development of more
specialized facilities.
One of the key moments in Clermont’s rise as a sports destination
came with the establishment of the National Training Center (NTC) in
the 1990s. The NTC became a state-of-the-art facility that catered to
Olympic-level athletes and teams from around the world, offering
resources for various sports including track and field, cycling, and
triathlon. This attracted world-class athletes, fostering the city’s
growing association with elite performance.
Clermont is particularly known for being a training ground for cyclists
and triathletes, thanks to its challenging hills and scenic routes. As the
city became home to athletes training for global competitions,
including the Tour de France and the Ironman Triathlon, its reputation
as a place where champions were made began to spread.
Clermont began to host major sports events, including triathlons,
cycling races, and track competitions. One of the most significant was
the Clermont Sprint Triathlon and the Ironman Florida 70.3, attracting
top athletes from around the world.
The presence of Olympic-level athletes training in Clermont further
solidified its identity as the "City of Champions." The city became a
destination for athletes who were preparing for competitions like the
Summer Olympics and World Championships. Many world-renowned
athletes in track and field, swimming, and cycling made Clermont their
home or training base.
Clermont’s identity as the "City of Champions" also grew through youth
athletics. The city invested in youth sports programs, which produced
future champions across various disciplines. Local high school
athletes, particularly in track, cross-country, and swimming, began to
17
As suburban development expanded in the 1980s and 1990s, the
nickname continued to symbolize the balance Clermont maintained
between its beautiful natural environment and its growing residential
and tourist-friendly atmosphere. New developments, including golf
course communities, and the expansion of Lake County led to more
people settling in Clermont, many of whom were drawn to the
peaceful, scenic setting. The "hills" of Clermont also set the stage for
outdoor recreational activities. The rolling hills provided excellent
opportunities for hiking, biking, and scenic drives. The city’s proximity
to the Harris Chain of Lakes also allowed for boating, fishing, and
other water sports, which further added to its allure as a natural
gem. Today, Clermont's hills are still celebrated in local marketing and
community events. The Florida Citrus Tower, built in the 1950s, offers
panoramic views of the surrounding hills and lakes, providing a visual
representation of why the city is still known as the "Gem of the Hills".
Visitors and residents alike continue to enjoy the combination of
natural beauty and growing urban amenities that the city offers.
achieve success at the state and national levels, further enhancing the
city’s sports reputation.
Clermont's local culture embraced and celebrated athletic
achievement, fostering a sense of community pride. With its state-of-
the-art facilities, successful athletes, and world-class training grounds,
Clermont came to symbolize the drive to excel in sports and became a
place where champions could rise, whether they were elite
professionals or young athletes starting their journey.
Today, Clermont is widely recognized as “The City of Champions”, a
title that reflects its commitment to athletic excellence. It continues to
attract elite athletes from around the globe, hosts high-level
competitions, and nurtures local talent in various sports. Whether
through its cycling routes, its Olympic-level track and field training
facilities, or its triathlon events, Clermont’s nickname is now
synonymous with sports achievement.

Dear Council and Citizens,
As your City Manager, I am presenting the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget
Proposal for Clermont. This carefully structured financial plan ensures
our city's continued prosperity while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
The following outlines our comprehensive revenue projections and
spending initiatives for the coming fiscal year.
Strategic Overview
The upcoming fiscal year presents unique dynamics for our growing city. Our budget reflects Clermont's commitment to sustainable
development, community safety, and quality of life enhancements. This proposal emerged from extensive community input, financial analysis,
and strategic planning.
Market Assessment
Current financial indicators suggest a transitional period ahead. Clermont's real estate market remains robust, though showing signs of
normalization. Our revenue streams, particularly from property assessments, continue to support vital community programs, municipal
operations, and development initiatives. Market volatility and national economic trends necessitate careful consideration of our spending
allocations and revenue projections.
Financial Summary
The proposed General Fund revenue for FY 2026 totals $58.5 million. Property tax collections, projected at $28.3 million with a reduced 4.5900
millage rate, remain our cornerstone funding source. This reflects Clermont's healthy 10.9% property value growth, generating an additional $1.6
million in revenue at the reduced rate.
Our spending plan emphasizes community investment, operational excellence, and infrastructure enhancement. Total General Fund allocations
reach $69.0 million, balancing operational needs with strategic investments. Core service expenditures show an 13% increase, reflecting our
commitment to service quality.
This budget adheres to four core principles:
Service Excellence Assurance
Community Growth Enhancement
Development and Modernization
Fiscal Stability Maintenance
Revenue Foundation and Property Valuation Impact
Our tax base continues to strengthen, with the Lake County Property Appraiser's best estimate of total taxable value reaching $6,318,943,548 - an
10.9% increase representing $622.8 million in added value. Property tax revenue, estimated at $28.3 million even with lowering the current millage
rate, and constitutes 48.4% of total General Fund revenues.
Community Protection, Safety and Security
City Manager's MessageCity Manager's Message
21
Our modernization efforts include enhanced law enforcement capabilities through advanced technology integration. Fire and emergency services
receive targeted funding to address growing service demands and equipment needs.
Community Enhancement, Recreation and Community Services
We continue investing in programs and facilities that promote community wellness, social connection, and quality of life. Our focus remains on
accessible, well-maintained recreational spaces and engaging community programs.
Municipal Infrastructure
We're implementing comprehensive improvements to city networks, including roadway enhancement, pedestrian accessibility, and water
management systems. This encompasses ongoing maintenance and strategic upgrades across all infrastructure categories.
Reserve Planning
Our projected General Fund unassigned fund balance of $16.1 million represents 28.1% of operating expenses, exceeding the current city policy
for municipal fiscal health.
Conclusion
Clermont continues to exemplify excellence in municipal management, combining robust services with strategic growth initiatives. This success
stems from our dedicated staff's commitment to serving our community. This budget reinforces our commitment to Clermont's future, ensuring
continued excellence in public services while maintaining our city's unique character and appeal.
Respectfully submitted,
Rick Van Wagner
Clermont, City Manager

What is a Budget?
A budget is a financial and operating plan. It is a tool that is used to anticipates resources and expenditures that will occur in a fiscal time period.
Usually broken down in monthly increments, a budget can also be used to track actual transactions for both resources and expenditures. The
annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Clermont's financial planning and control.
The City of Clermont's fiscal year begins October 1st and ends September 30th. The fiscal year that begins on October 1, 2025 and will end on
September 30, 2026 is commonly referred to as "Fiscal Year 2026". Other references include "FY26" or "FYE26".
City budgets typically include:
Revenue: The money the city expects to receive, primarily from taxes (property taxes, sales taxes, etc.), federal or state grants, fees for services
(like permits or utilities), and fines or penalties.
Expenditures: The money the city plans to spend, broken down into different departments or categories, such as:
Public Safety: Police, fire, emergency services.
Public Works: Roads, bridges, waste management.
Parks and Recreation: Public parks, recreational facilities.
Debt Service: Paying off any city loans or bonds.
Reserves / Fund Balance: money in reserve, typically either due to policy or result of operations, that may be available for use and appropriation in
the future.
Capital Improvement Plan: Funding for long-term projects, like building or renovating public buildings, roads, or other infrastructure. The Clermont
City Council and management, through careful short and long range planning and sound management practices, are committed to budget and
managing all resources in the most cost-effective manner.
The City prepares a Five-Year Capital Plan as part of the annual budget process. The Capital Plan is a multi-year prioritized schedule that
identifies future capital outlay by the year it is intended to be purchased or commenced, the amount to be spent per year, and the funding source.
For enterprise activities, master planning of water and sewer systems is undertaken in order to manage growth in the utility systems, which also
has benchmarks for plant expansions and well requirements.
Overview of Budget Book
The budget is presented in a manner to reflect a shift towards it being a comprehensive fiscal planning tool which includes a significant amount
of information beyond revenues and expenses. The document is meant to serve as a communication tool and policy document to provide
additional insight into the City's operations. Throughout the budget these efforts are on display by data tables, charts and graphs, organization
charts, descriptive narratives, and policy disclosures within the appendix section. The budget is divided into nine sections, based on the common
information within.
Introduction - background information for the City of Clermont including a city profile, organizational chart, and city history.
Budget Overview - describes the budget process and provides background into the City's budgeting/accounting framework.
Executive Summary - provides narratives and analysis to compliment the figures within the budgeted revenues and expenses.
General Fund - an account of revenues and expenses of the General Fund, which serves as the primary operational fund of the City.
Special Revenue Funds - budget information for funds restricted based on legal and/or policy considerations.
Enterprise Funds - displays the activity of the City's four enterprise funds, which are user-fee based operations.
Budget OverviewBudget Overview
23
Other Fund Types - budget information for additional fund types such as fiduciary funds or component units.
Capital Improvement Plan - a comprehensive presentation of the City's capital spending plans during the next five years, for both
governmental and enterprise activities.
Appendix - includes supporting information and fiscal policies.
Budgetary Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Prior to October 1st, the City budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. 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.
The City Council, by ordinance or resolution, may authorize supplemental appropriations in excess of those originally estimated for the year up to
the amount of available revenues.
The level of classification detail at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is the department level. Appropriations lapse at the
close of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended. Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds, and outstanding
encumbrances at year end are reported as assigned fund balances that must be re-appropriated and honored during the subsequent year.
The operating budget does not include expense for depreciation.
24
Budget Cycle
The budget process involves collaboration and coordination among all
city departments, the City Council, and the citizens & stakeholders of
Clermont. It results in annual operating and capital budgets, along
with an annually updated five-year capital improvement plan. While the
fiscal year begins on October 1st, the budget cycle is constantly in
motion and requires continuous monitoring and communication. Any
of five budgeting elements can be a focal point at a given point of time
during the year.
Budget Planning Calendar
Department Preparations
The budget process commences with the widespread distribution of
budget instructions and guidance to all City departments, facilitated
through the Finance Department and Budget Manager. The guidance
includes software administration, proper usage of funding sources,
and accounting rules for proper classification of expenditures. During
the preparation phase, department directors and their teams are
afforded the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate their existing
programs, suggest changes in current services, and propose revisions
in organizational structure and methodologies.
Staff Review
Engaging in periodic meetings with department directors, the Budget
Manager conducts in-depth reviews of proposals to ensure
compliance with instructions and guidance. Upon receipt of budget
requests, the City Manager examines all capital and operating expense
requests. Each department's proposal is subjected to analysis and
evaluation, wherein considerations are weighed against the envisioned
service levels, available resources, and the goals of the City Council.
To ensure comprehensive understanding and collaborative decision-
making, the City Manager hosts staff meetings dedicated to
department review. The City Manager's Recommended Budget is
made publicly available prior to the Budget Workshops.
Budget ProcessBudget Process
25
Truth in Millage (TRIM)
The Truth in Millage (TRIM) process informs taxpayers and the public
about the legislative process by which the City determine ad valorem
(property) taxes. When levying a millage, the City must follow Florida
Statutes which governs TRIM and includes public disclosures and
input.
The millage rate is the amount per $1,000 used to calculate ad
valorem taxes. The rate is multiplied by the total taxable value to
determine the property taxes due. Property owners in Clermont are
subject to ad valorem taxes from multiple local government entities. In
tax year 2024, approximately 26% of the total ad valorem bill was
comprised on the City of Clermont.
Budget Workshops Budget Adoption
The City Council holds public workshop meetings as part of the annual
budget process. During these meetings the City Manager and
Department Directors are available to review their proposed budget
and respond to questions as needed. Following the workshop
meetings, the City Council's proposed budget is advertised in
accordance with TRIM requirements and presented at budget public
hearing meetings in September.
Adoption of the City Budget is required by Florida state law by the end
of September each year. Two separate public hearings specific to the
TRIM process are held in order to hear public input on the adoption of
the millage rate and the adoption of the annual budget. A resolution is
adopted in related to the Millage Rate, and a second resolution is
adopted specific to the budget itself.
Budget Implementation
The budget process extends beyond the legal adoption phase, with
continuous monitoring by city staff and departments throughout the
fiscal year. This monitoring is facilitated by an integrated financial
software system that offers budgetary control and various budgetary
reports to assist in this endeavor. A quarterly budget report is provided
to the City Council and published on the city's website.
26
Amending the Budget Basis of Budgeting
The level of classification detail at which expenditures may not legally
exceed appropriations is the department level. To maintain fiscal
discipline and flexibility, 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. The City Council, by ordinance or resolution, may
authorize supplemental appropriations in excess of those originally
estimated for the year up to the amount of available revenues.
Appropriations lapse at the close of the fiscal year to the extent they
have not been expended. Encumbrance accounting is employed in
governmental funds, and outstanding encumbrances at year end are
reported as assigned fund balances that must be re-appropriated and
honored during the subsequent year.

Fund Accounting
The framework of the city's financial system is a "Fund Accounting" system. Under such a system, the emphasis is placed on accountability rather
than profitability commonly seen in the private sector. As a result, the city has numerous "Funds" that account for various purposes and activities
separately from others. These segregated funds can be established by restrictions imposed on the city for various legal and/or practical reasons.
All funds are appropriated via an adopted budget resolution.
The City currently has over twenty funds, each unique in their purpose and managed independent of one other. The three most common types of
funds are "Governmental Funds", "Enterprise Funds", and "Special Revenue Funds". These fund types are often grouped together in various
reporting manners.
Governmental & Special
Revenue Funds
Governmental Funds account for traditional
local government activities that are primarily
supported by taxes, such as public safety
and parks & recreation.
Special Revenues Funds are typically
Governmental in nature, yet created to
account for specific revenues that have
limitations placed on how they can be used.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are Proprietary funds that
account for services that are primarily
supported by user charges and fees. These
funds do not receive tax money and are
managed similar to a business. The city's
utility operations - Water, Sewer, Stormwater,
and Sanitation - are managed within the
Enterprise Funds.
Other Funds
The Other Funds consist of fiduciary funds. A
fiduciary fund is a type of fund used by a
government or organization to account for
assets held in trust or custody for others.
These funds are not used to support the
government's own programs, but instead
manage resources on behalf of individuals,
other governments, or entities.

Priorities
In following the City's Mission Statement "To preserve and enhance the quality of life for the Clermont community by providing exceptional services", the
budget priorities include:
Public Safety: To ensuring the safety of our residents through funding for police, fire departments, and disaster preparedness.
Infrastructure: Invest in essential infrastructure such as roads and utility systems to maintain the physical infrastructure of our city.
Economic Development: To support programs that encourage job creation, support local businesses, and promote economic growth, including grants,
incentives, and development projects.
Public Parks and Recreation: To invest in public parks, recreational spaces, community centers, and other public amenities that enhance residents'
quality of life.
Current Events & Concerns
The City of Clermont is fortunate to have current and future resources available when preparing an annual budget. General Fund reserves exceed fund
balance policy requirements. Recent annexations and proposed future development will enable the City to depend on the continued growth in assessed
taxable value and future tax revenue. However, with population growth there is an increased demand for services. The proposed budget includes
additional services and staffing to meet these challenges.
What's Changing from Last Year?
The most significant proposed change in City operations for the FY2025-2026 budget is an expansion of the City of Clermont Fire Department’s
emergency medical services (EMS) transport program. These enhancements are viewed as essential to improving service delivery, reducing dependency
on outside EMS providers, and ensuring timely, life-saving care and patient transport for our community. The proposal includes a combined $3.5 million
in capital and operating investment, primarily within the City's General Fund. The City is currently in discussions with other local government entities to
determine funding sources for the program. However, the proposed budget does not include these potential resources.
Status of the Proposed Budget
The City of Clermont, Florida, has outlined its budget priorities for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026, focusing on several key areas:
General Fund Overview:
Revenues: Projected at $58,474,830
Expenses: Estimated at $69,027,184
Deficit: A shortfall of $10.5 million is presented. The deficit is due in large part to a concerted effort to utilize unassigned fund balance reserves that
are well above the city's fund balance requirement. Please see the General Fund Summary page for additional details.
Capital Investments
The proposed Five Year Capital Plan budget includes an investment of $48.2 million in FY 2025-2026. Funding is provided by multiple sources, based
on the nature of each project. Please see the Capital Improvement Plan Summary page for information and links to individual project pages.

Key Proposed Budget Assumptions
Assumptions for Revenues include:
Millage Rate: The primary revenue source for the General Fund is Ad Valorem Taxes. The current fiscal year budget was based on a millage
rate of 4.8800, which was a decrease from the rate of the previous two years of 5.0600. A historical table is provided on the Budget Process
page. The Proposed Budget for FY 2025-2026 has been prepared at a millage rate of 4.5900. Due to an estimated 10.9% growth in taxable
assessed value, the reduction in the millage rate will still equate to approximately $1.6 million in additional ad valorem revenue. However,
reducing the rate decreases projected ad valorem revenue by $1.8 million.
Fund Balance Policy: Revenue for the Fund 320 (Capital Projects and Expenditures Fund) includes a $4.6 million interfund transfer from the
General Fund, and is based on a proposal to revise the city's Fund Balance Policy. The transfer reflects a portion of the amount of unassigned
fund balance in excess of the city's required 25% policy.
Proposed Debt Issuance: Fund 320 includes a proposed $10 million debt issuance for a proposed Downtown Parking Garage Project.
Utility Rates: The utility rates for Water and Sewer customers were established by a 2023 City Council Resolution which set annual rate
changes through Fiscal Year 2027. Sanitation rates are based on direction of the Florida Public Service Commission. The proposed budget is
based on the following adjustments:
Water & Water Reuse = 3%
Sewer = 8%
Sanitation = 4.5%

Key Proposed Budget Assumptions
Assumptions for Non-Personnel expenses include:
EMS Transport Program: The proposed budget includes a significant investment in expanding the City of Clermont Fire Department’s
emergency medical services (EMS) transport program. These enhancements are essential to improving service delivery, reducing dependency
on outside EMS providers, and ensuring timely, life-saving care and patient transport for our community.
Liability Insurance: City liability insurance is anticipated to increase 8%, with the exception of the Sewer Fund (12%) due to the recent
completion of several large scale capital projects. The City participates in the Florida League of Cities plan.
Capital Expenditures: The proposed budget for FY26 includes $48.2 million in capital expenditures. Significant projects include the
construction of a Downtown Parking Garage, Renovations to Fire Station #2, Hartwood Marsh Relocation, and numerous Parks & Recreation
projects. For details please see the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan section.
Debt Service: The proposed budget includes the addition of a new debt issuance for the purpose of a Downtown Parking Garage. The $12
million project would be supported by $2 million of General Fund unassigned reserves and a $10 million debt issuance. The timeline of the
proposed project would, in part, determine when debt repayment would begin. For budgeting purposes, the borrowing is projected to require
annual debt service payments of $800,000 which would be supported by revenues from the CRA Fund and General Fund.
Interfund Transfers: The proposed budget includes a $4.6 million interfund transfer from the General Fund to the Capital Projects &
Expenditures Fund. This assumes a revised Fund Balance Policy that will be presented to the City Council during the budget workshop. For
details on interfund activity please see the Interfund Transfers page.

Overview
As is the case with many organizations, personnel expenses are the primary operating expense for the City. In the City of Clermont, Florida,
personnel authorization and the establishment of new salaries and benefits are managed by the Human Resources Department. This department
oversees various functions, including recruitment, classification and compensation, employment policies and procedures, employee and labor
relations, training and supervisory development, benefits administration, wellness and safety initiatives, workers' compensation, risk
management, property and liability administration, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
Personnel Authorization:
The City of Clermont operates under a council-manager form of government, with the City Manager serving as the CEO overseeing all city
operations and implementing policies set by the five elected city council members. The city government leadership team includes 13 department
directors, including the Deputy City Manager. The city has over 450 employees with a total compensation budget of more than $54 million. Please
see the individual department pages for full-time equivalent (FTE) counts by area.
Key Budget Assumptions:
Employee Compensation: A 5% pay adjustment for non-union employees is planned for April 2026. In the past eighteen months
collective bargaining contracts with both the Police and Fire Unions were completed, thereby providing known changes in salary
costs.
Health Insurance Costs: The City's employee health insurance plan is a calendar-year based plan. Health insurance is projected to
rise 12% within the proposed budget due mainly to an increase in employees. The actual rate will be known after the budget
process is complete.
Pension / Retirement: No changes are proposed to the general employees plan. Contribution rates for union employees
(Firefighters and Sworn Police Officers) are established through collective bargaining and independent actuarial studies for each
plan (see below).
Proposed Staffing Additions
Due in large part to the proposed expansion of EMS Transport
services, the proposed budget includes 33 new positions at a total
compensation cost of $3.9 million. Funding for the proposed positions
are based on the nature of the job, and segregated between three fund
types in the table to the right. For the General Fund the 25.5 proposed
positions would be at a cost of $3.3 million. Please note while the
Deputy Fire Marshall is a new position, it will be filled by an internal
candidate and that candidates existing position will not be refilled.

employee's tenure. Employer contributions are displayed throughout the budget within the applicable department and fund summary pages.

Overview
The City periodically authorizes various types of debt instruments in order to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major capital
assets. Depending on the type of project the funds are utilized for, various types of revenues may be pledged towards the repayment of the debt.
For example, future revenues generated from the Water or Sewer Enterprise Funds can be pledged towards the borrowing of capital in order to
improve the water or sewer utility system. Projects may have multiple sources of pledged revenues for repayment. Thus, within the budget
interfund transfers of such revenues exist in order to move pledged revenues to the fund responsible for repayment of the long-term debt.
Since 2017 all new debt issuances by the City has been bank loans/notes. Thus the most recent credit rating received by the City was November
2016, when S&P Global Ratings raised the rating on the City of Clermont's Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds to 'AA+' following the application of
revised criteria (disclosure.spglobal.com). What is commonly thought of as traditional long-term debt (bond issuances, revenue notes, etc) are
highlighted below.

Fund Description
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of a city, used to account for resources and expenditures that are not legally required to be
tracked in separate funds. It supports the core services most residents rely on daily and is typically funded through property taxes, service
charges, and other general revenues.
Services commonly funded by the General Fund include:
Police and fire protection
Street maintenance and traffic control
Parks and recreation programs
City administration, planning, and code enforcement
The General Fund covers a wide range of essential services, it is often the most visible and flexible part of a city’s budget. It reflects the city’s
policy priorities and financial health, and careful management of the fund is critical for delivering responsive and sustainable public services.

Major Changes in Fund Balance
The City's Fund Balance policy (Resolution 2020-53R) currently requires a 25% reserve requirement in relation to operating expenses. At the
conclusion of Fiscal Year 2024 the 25% requirement equates to $11.5 million. The status of the city's Unassigned Fund Balance was 60.5%. The
dollar amount of Unassigned Fund Balance in excess of the minimum requirement at the conclusion of FY 2024 was $16.3 million.
The FY 2026 budget proposes the following uses of unassigned fund balance in the General Fund:
Two significant operating based proposals will impact the Fund Balance:
Based on FY 2026 projections, the proposed General Fund budget is presented at a $10.6 million deficit. This result would reduce the Unassigned
Fund Balance to a projected total of $15.8 million. These results would equate to approximately $1.5 million above the 25% requirement.
A $2 million Interfund Transfer to the Capital Projects & Expenditures Fund in support of the Downtown Garage Project
An $4.6 million Interfund Transfer to the Capital Projects & Expenditures Fund to reflect a proposed change in the City's Fund Balance
Policy.
$950,000 purchase of Body Cams and Tasers for the Police Department. The costs are unique in the first year of the multi-year agreement,
but will reduce significantly in the following years. Police Impact Fees are not an option for this expense, and thus will become a
reoccurring expense in the General Fund in future years.
A proposed expansion of the Fire / EMS Transport Service with a cost impact to the General Fund at $3.3 million.

Revenue Description
The city's General Fund revenue refers to the money the city collects to finance its basic operations and services. This revenue supports essential
public services such as police and fire departments, parks and recreation, public works, and administrative functions.
Key Characteristics of General Fund Revenue:
Primary Operating Fund:
The General Fund is the primary location for accounting activity related to day-to-day city operations that are not covered by other specialized
funds (like water, sewer, or other enterprise funds).
Common Sources of Revenue:
Property Taxes: Often the largest source, levied on residential and commercial real estate.
Fines and Penalties: Revenue from parking tickets, code violations, and other municipal infractions.
Service Charges and Permits: Includes fees for building permits, facility rentals, and other city services.
Intergovernmental Revenues: Transfers or grants from state and federal governments.
Flexible Use:
Unlike special-purpose funds, General Fund revenues can typically be used at the city's discretion, making them highly valuable for addressing
broad and changing community needs.
Budget-Driven:
Revenue projections for the General Fund play a key role in annual budget planning. Cities aim to match these revenues with expenditures to
maintain fiscal balance.

and contractual services) are expected to increase 7.9%, largely driven
by the addition of maintenance fees for a new software platform.

Department Overview
Citywide Expenses / Non-Departmental Services
The city's Other General Department ("General Government") is a budget category used to account for city functions, services, and costs that don't
fit within the scope of any single operational department like Police, Fire, or Public Works. These are citywide functions that support multiple
departments or the overall operation of the municipal government. This department often includes centralized costs that affect the entire city but
aren’t specific to one department. Common examples include administrative costs such as telephones or building maintenance at City Hall where
multiple departments are present. In addition, costs associated with the Group Health Insurance Fund are accounted for within this broad
department.

Department Overview
The Clermont Fire Department (CFD) provides an all-hazards approach in protecting the lives and property of the residents, businesses, and
visitors of Clermont, Florida. CFD is consistently working to achieve and/or maintain the highest level of professionalism and efficiency on behalf
of those it serves.
The CFD was first organized in 1923, with all members being volunteers. Over the years, the organization’s evolution changed from its original all-
volunteer form. In 1999, in response to a rapidly growing city, the Clermont Fire Department became a combination department consisting of paid
and volunteer members. Advanced life support services with paramedics were implemented in 2001. The transition to a fully paid department
occurred in 2010.
The performance of the department’s men and women has earned international accreditation by the fire service industry through the Center for
Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). The City of Clermont Fire Department successfully achieved re-accredited status in March of 2023 from the
Commission on Fire Accreditation International and CPSE. In addition, the public protection services delivered by the department have been rated
as “Class 1” by the Insurance Service Offices (ISO) in 2020, which is the highest level of fire protection recognized by ISO and are used to
establish property insurance premiums.
All front-line apparatus have Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities and provide citizens with rapid access to life-saving medical services. Each
ALS apparatus has a minimum of one State of Florida certified paramedic with the remaining staff certified as Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMT). The CFD also operates as special operations team with technical rescue, hazardous materials and water rescue capabilities.
Personnel assigned to providing emergency responses are divided into three shifts, with each shift working 24 hours on followed by 48 hours off.
Each shift is comprised of a Battalion Chief, seven Lieutenants, seven Engineers, and 10 Firefighters operating out of four fire stations on one
Tower Truck Company, one Ladder Company, one Heavy Rescue, and three Engine Companies. CFD admin is comprised of the Fire Chief, two
Assistant Chiefs, one Division Chief, one Fire Marshal, two Captains, one Fire Plans Reviewer, four Fire Inspectors/Investigators, one Fire and Life
Safety Educator, one Logistics Manager, one Office Manager, one Grants and Special Projects Administrator, and two Administrative Assistants.
Today, CFD reflects on its history and remains committed to providing all-hazards emergency services and education to its community with
flexibility, integrity, and accountability. The department continues to honor its community by providing quality services through its proactive focus
on risks and deployment from four stations located strategically throughout the 19.1 square miles of coverage area. Staffed to support the
community, CFD embraces its future vision and excellence in service delivery.

Personnel Services do not have a standard increase in salaried due to a FY25 budget amendment and a transition from overtime to requested
positions. The decrease of Capital Outlay in the Infrastructure fund is due to the moving of vehicle expenditures to the Fire Impact fund. Other
major increases to the Fire Impact are due to the remodeling of Fire Station #2.

Department Overview
The Clermont Fire Department’s Fire-Based Advanced Life Support (ALS) Transport Program marks a transformational step in emergency medical
service delivery for the City of Clermont. Currently, fire department units must wait for a county ambulance to transport patients to the hospital.
This initiative will establish the City’s first in-house ALS transport-capable units, enabling CFD to respond with fully staffed and equipped rescue
units when Lake County resources are unavailable. It will also allow CFD to initiate transport when it is the closest responder to critical
emergencies such as cardiac arrest, stroke, or major trauma. The program seeks to add two transport units, a field supervisor, and administrative
position in the first year. Year two of the program will add an additional two transport units for a total of four. There is potential for cost-sharing
with Lake County Fire Rescue for staffing costs related to the transport units. This program ensures CFD can deliver consistent, high-quality ALS
care through self-reliant, city-operated transport units with the benefits of strengthening public safety, operational readiness, and long-term
capacity to provide life-saving service to the citizens and visitors to the City of Clermont.

Goal and Objectives
Program Goals:
Improve patient outcomes by reducing response, on-scene, and transport times during life-threatening incidents.
Equip both frontline and reserve rescue units to ensure 24/7 availability and add resilience to the emergency response system during maintenance, high call
volumes, or natural disasters.
Reduce reliance on overtaxed mutual aid partners by adding additional resources and managing transport needs locally.
Outfit units with NFPA- and Florida Department of Health-compliant medical, firefighting, and communications equipment.
Establish a scalable transport model to support future expansion with the goal of two transport units in service within 12 months and four units within 24 months.
Program Objectives:
Recruit, onboard, train, and deploy the City of Clermont’s first fire-based ALS transport units (two units).
Equip both the new frontline units and a reserve unit with essential EMS equipment including power stretchers, cardiac monitors, SCBAs, essential firefighting
equipment, MDTs, and radios.
Lay the foundation for a sustainable EMS transport program that is compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.
Add an additional frontline supervisor (24-hour) to maintain span of control and command presence during day to day and significant scene operations.
Develop and enter into an inter-local agreement with Lake County to provide revenue, offsetting staffing costs of each rescue unit.

Department Overview
The Clermont Fire Department (CFD) provides an all-hazards approach in protecting the lives and property of the residents, businesses, and
visitors of Clermont, Florida. CFD is consistently working to achieve and/or maintain the highest level of professionalism and efficiency on behalf
of those it serves.
The CFD was first organized in 1923, with all members being volunteers. Over the years, the organization’s evolution changed from its original all-
volunteer form. In 1999, in response to a rapidly growing city, the Clermont Fire Department became a combination department consisting of paid
and volunteer members. Advanced life support services with paramedics were implemented in 2001. The transition to a fully paid department
occurred in 2010.
The performance of the department’s men and women has earned international accreditation by the fire service industry through the Center for
Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). The City of Clermont Fire Department successfully achieved re-accredited status in March of 2023 from the
Commission on Fire Accreditation International and CPSE. In addition, the public protection services delivered by the department have been rated
as “Class 1” by the Insurance Service Offices (ISO) in 2020, which is the highest level of fire protection recognized by ISO and are used to
establish property insurance premiums.
All front-line apparatus have Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities and provide citizens with rapid access to life-saving medical services. Each
ALS apparatus has a minimum of one State of Florida certified paramedic with the remaining staff certified as Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMT). The CFD also operates as special operations team with technical rescue, hazardous materials and water rescue capabilities.
Personnel assigned to providing emergency responses are divided into three shifts, with each shift working 24 hours on followed by 48 hours off.
Each shift is comprised of a Battalion Chief, seven Lieutenants, seven Engineers, and 10 Firefighters operating out of four fire stations on one
Tower Truck Company, one Ladder Company, one Heavy Rescue, and three Engine Companies. CFD admin is comprised of the Fire Chief, two
Assistant Chiefs, one Division Chief, one Fire Marshal, two Captains, one Fire Plans Reviewer, four Fire Inspectors/Investigators, one Fire and Life
Safety Educator, one Logistics Manager, one Office Manager, one Grants and Special Projects Administrator, and two Administrative Assistants.

Explanation of Changes
The Professional Services line item 10560-53100 is 100% lower because an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) consultant is only need
to conduct a study every other year; therefore the consultant is not needed for FY 2026. The Background Investigations line item 10560-53128 is
34% lower because the anticipated amount of background investigations should be lower. The Travel & Per Diem line item 10560-54001 is 34%
lower because the amount of travel has been reduced. The Commercial Insurance line item is 15% higher because the cost of risk insurance is
anticipated to increase and the City should have firm numbers by August. The Minor Equipment line item 10560-55204 is lower because HR does
not need any other minor equipment at this time. Lastly, the Training & Education line item 10560-55401 is 28% higher due to anticipated
increase of conference pricing and certification of HR Director for Certified Labor Relations Professional.

Fund Description
The Police Asset Forfeiture Fund is a restricted special revenue fund used to manage proceeds obtained through the seizure and forfeiture of
assets connected to criminal activity, typically under federal or state asset forfeiture laws. These assets may include cash, vehicles, or other
property involved in or gained through illegal activities such as drug trafficking or organized crime. Accounting related to the program was
originally within the General Fund. The program was segregated from the General Fund as it's own special revenue fund during Fiscal Year 2023,
and the Police Asset Forfeiture Fund was established.
Funds are typically obtained through:
Participation in federal or state asset forfeiture programs
Local enforcement actions resulting in court-ordered forfeitures
Revenue in the Police Asset Forfeiture Fund can only be used for specific law enforcement purposes, as defined by governing regulations. These
may include:
Equipment purchases or upgrades
Specialized training and technology
Community policing initiatives
Crime prevention programs
Support for investigations or task forces
Expenditures from this fund cannot be used to replace or supplement normal police operating budgets, salaries, or routine expenses. Instead, the
fund is intended to enhance law enforcement capabilities beyond what is supported by the General Fund, while promoting accountability and
compliance with state and federal guidelines. Resources are allowed to be budgeted only once funds are received by the City. As a result, the use
of reserves is common for the fund.

Explanation of Changes
The proposed FY26 budget showcases significant adjustments across various spending categories. Personnel Services is seeing an increase of
approximately 31%, with notable rises in regular salaries and group insurance. This is due to a new requested position and the standard merit
increase. However, life insurance costs are decreasing by 17.47%, due to shifts in strategy or improved efficiencies. Operating
Expenditure/Expenses have been reduced by 18.12%, showing a realignment towards more cost-effective operations. The most substantial cuts
come from the elimination of general services and significant reductions in software renewals. Travel & Per Diem expenses have nearly doubled,
pointing towards increased travel needs or costs. Capital Outlay experiences the most significant reduction at 89.81%, due to a completed
software upgrade project.

Department Overview
A city's enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated similarly to private businesses, where the intent is that
the costs of providing goods or services are recovered primarily through user fees and charges. Operations center around utility services
including Water, Sewer, Sanitation, and Stormwater management.
Enterprise funds are separate accounting and financial reporting mechanisms used by municipalities to track income and expenses for specific
services that operate like commercial businesses. These funds help ensure transparency and accountability by keeping the financial performance
of these services distinct from the general fund. The goal is for each enterprise to be self-sustaining, with revenues covering operating costs,
capital improvements, and debt service.

Fund Description
The Water Fund is a dedicated financial account used by a city to manage all revenues and expenses related to its water utility services. It is an
enterprise fund, meaning it operates similarly to a business, where revenues from customer water bills and service charges are used to cover the
costs of providing clean, safe, and reliable water to residents, businesses, and other users.
This fund supports the full range of water-related operations, including:
Water treatment and distribution
Maintenance and repair of infrastructure (e.g., water mains, pipes, pumps)
Capital improvements and system upgrades
Compliance with environmental and public health regulations
Customer service and billing functions
The Water Fund is self-sustaining, relying primarily on user fees rather than general tax revenue.

The proposed budget includes $5.6 million in capital expenditure requests. As a result the fund is projected to realize a $3.8 million decrease in
fund balance. This would decrease the unrestricted net position of the Water Fund from $14.6 million to $10.8 million. The fund would remain in
compliance with city policy.

Fund Description
The Water Impact Fee Fund is a restricted fund used to account for fees collected from new development to help pay for the expansion of the
city’s water infrastructure. These impact fees are charged to developers when new homes, businesses, or facilities are built, as new development
increases demand on the city’s water system.
The purpose of the fund is to ensure that growth pays for growth, rather than placing the financial burden on existing residents.
Revenues from the Water Impact Fee Fund can only be used for capital improvements that expand system capacity, such as:
New water mains or reservoirs
Treatment plant upgrades
Water storage facilities
Infrastructure needed to serve new development
Funds cannot be used for operations, maintenance, or repair of existing infrastructure. The Water Impact Fee Fund plays a key role in ensuring the
water system can grow sustainably while maintaining high service levels for all users.

Major Changes in Fund Balance
The adopted budget includes $3.7 million in operating expenditures and $1.3 million in capital expenditure requests. As a result the fund is
projected to realize a $1.4 million decrease in fund balance. This would decrease the unrestricted net position of the Sanitation Fund from $3.3
million to $1.9 million. The fund would remain in compliance with city policy, slightly above the 25% threshold.

Fund Description
The Sewer Fund is a type of enterprise fund used by a city to account for the financial operations of its wastewater collection, treatment, and
disposal systems. Like the Water Fund, it is self-supporting, with revenues primarily derived from user fees and service charges paid by residents,
businesses, and institutions.
This fund covers the full cost of providing safe and effective wastewater services, including:
Operation and maintenance of sewer lines, lift stations, and treatment plants
Capital improvements and infrastructure upgrades
Regulatory compliance with environmental and public health standards
Sewer system inspections and emergency repairs
Customer service and billing functions
The Sewer Fund ensures that wastewater is safely collected and treated before being released back into the environment, protecting public health
and local water quality. It is designed to be financially sustainable over the long term, with rates set to reflect the true cost of service.

Major Changes in Fund Balance
Debt service repayment of the 2024 WWTP Bond have been relocated to the Sewer Fund in FY2026. In addition, the proposed budget includes
$4.9 million in capital expenditure requests. As a result the fund is projected to realize a $1.7 million decrease in fund balance. This would

decrease the unrestricted net position of the Sewer Fund from $12.9 million to $11.2 million. The fund would remain in compliance with city
policy.

Fund Description
The Sewer Impact Fee Fund is a restricted capital fund that collects and manages impact fees paid by developers when new homes, businesses,
or other developments are built. These fees are intended to cover the cost of expanding the city’s wastewater (sewer) system to accommodate
growth.
As new development increases demand on the existing sewer infrastructure, impact fees ensure that growth pays for growth, rather than shifting
the cost to existing ratepayers.
Revenue from the Sewer Impact Fee Fund is used exclusively for capital improvements that expand system capacity, such as:
New sewer lines and pump stations
Wastewater treatment plant expansions
System extensions to newly developed areas
Other infrastructure directly related to serving new development
These funds cannot be used for ongoing operations, maintenance, or repair of existing facilities. The Sewer Impact Fee Fund helps the city
maintain a high level of service and environmental compliance while supporting responsible, financially sustainable growth.

Fund Description
The Stormwater Fund is an enterprise fund used by a city to manage the planning, operation, maintenance, and improvement of its stormwater
management system. This system helps control and treat rainwater runoff to reduce flooding, prevent erosion, and protect local waterways from
pollution.
The fund is primarily supported by stormwater fees charged to property owners based on the amount of impervious surface (like rooftops and
pavement) on their property, which affects how much runoff is generated.
Revenues from the Stormwater Fund are used to:
Maintain and repair storm drains, culverts, and detention basins
Construct and upgrade stormwater infrastructure
Implement flood control and drainage improvements
Reduce pollution entering rivers, lakes, and streams
Comply with state and federal environmental regulations
Support public education and outreach about stormwater impacts
The Stormwater Fund ensures that the city can sustainably manage rainwater in a way that protects public safety, property, and the environment.

Historically the Stormwater Fund has been difficult to remain in compliance with the City's fund balance reserve polity. The projected budget for
FY 2025-2026 depicts a slight increase in net position of $94,791, which would lead to a revised balance of $1.1 million and exceed city policy
requirement of 25% of operating costs.

Fund Description
The Self-Insurance Fund is an internal service fund used to account for the city’s self-funded insurance programs. Instead of purchasing
traditional insurance coverage for certain risks, the city sets aside money in this fund to pay for claims, legal liabilities, and administrative costs
related to employee benefits, workers' compensation, general liability, property damage, or other insurable risks.
Key uses of the Self-Insurance Fund include:
Payment of claims and settlements
Medical and pharmacy benefits for employees
Administrative costs, including third-party administrators or actuaries
The fund is typically supported by internal charges to city departments based on actuarial estimates of expected claims. This approach allows
the city to control costs, tailor coverage to its specific needs, and promote long-term financial stability in managing risk.

Fund Description
The city's General Employee Pension Fund is a retirement plan specifically designed to provide retirement benefits to the general (non-public
safety) employees of a city. These employees typically include administrative staff, public works personnel, parks and recreation workers, and
others who are not classified as police officers, firefighters, or elected officials. The City serves as the Fiduciary of the accounts managed by a
third party administrator (TPA) and thus is reported in the City's annual audit.
There are two components to the General Employee Pension Fund. The current plan is a defined contribution plan, with an employer match and
vesting schedule based on years of service to the City. Employer contributions associated with the plan are displayed within the personnel section
of the individual department budgets. The fund is included in the budget plan for the first time, in order to disclose the Administrative costs
associated with the plan. Activity shown from FY 2024 is related to the transition of the TPA and does not represent actual expenditures.
Prior to September 2019, the City's general employees participated in a defined benefit retirement plan with the Florida Municipal Pension Trust
Fund (FMPTF). The FMPTF plan has been closed since the transition to defined contribution plans (457b and 401a). Long-term debt obligations
related to the FMPTF plan remain on the City's financial statements as long as there are active retirees or beneficiaries receiving distributions.

Explanation of Changes
The Community Redevelopment Agency Fund for FY26 demonstrates a strategic shift in financial priorities. There is an increase in Personnel
Services by approximately 25%, emphasizing a new position allocation to the CRA fund. Capital Outlay has seen a dramatic reduction of 71%, due
to the shift from Capital Projects to Other expenditures. The Other expenditures includes a $400,000 payment for new debt related to the parking
garage. Operating Expenditures saw a slight reduction of 7%, pointing towards improved operational efficiency and cost-saving measures. This
balanced and targeted approach aims to support economic redevelopment while ensuring effective use of financial resources.

Capital Plan Overview
Following best practice standards widely utilized in local government, the City is pleased to present a multi-year capital plan.
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP): The City of Clermont's CIP has multiple types of Capital projects associated with it. These types of
projects can include recurring and non-recurring projects. Recurring projects are capital items that repeat on a regular basis. For example, the
replacement of city owned vehicles or sidewalks. Non-recurring capital items are unique in scope but are necessary for the development of
our community. For either of these capital projects, our Leadership team develops a plan that identifies and prioritizes capital projects across
various sectors, including stormwater management, potable water, sanitary sewer, police, fire and parks and recreation. Projects are planned
with designated funding sources and fiscal years.
Alignment with Comprehensive Plan Goals: The goal of our CIP is to ensures that capital projects align with the city's comprehensive plan,
addressing existing deficiencies, accommodating future growth, and replacing outdated facilities. This alignment supports the city's
commitment to maintaining adopted Levels of Service (LOS) standards.
Financial Feasibility and Funding Sources: The CIP emphasizes sound fiscal policies, utilizing various funding sources such as cash reserves,
enterprise funds, impact fees, grants, and private contributions. The city also monitors debt service.
Annual Updates and Monitoring: The city updates the CIP annually to reflect changes in priorities, funding availability, and project statuses.
This process involves coordination with the city's budget to ensure financial feasibility and responsiveness to emerging needs.
Capital Planning
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends
that governments prepare and adopt comprehensive, fiscally
sustainable, and multi-year capital plans to ensure effective
management of capital assets. A prudent multi-year plan identifies
and prioritizes expected needs based on a strategic plan, establishes
project scope and cost, details estimated amounts of funding from
various sources, and projects future operating and maintenance costs.
The city's capitalization threshold is $5,000 which matches the State
of Florida.
Capital Plan IntroductionCapital Plan Introduction
277
Capital Improvements Plan
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) section of the budget details the City's approach towards capital planning. The five-year plan provides
detailed information of projects and programs budgeted during FY 2026 and beyond, and also includes information on funding sources and their
impact on future operating expenses.
Adoption of the CIP is a statement of policy regarding the City's approach to meeting future capital acquisition and funding needs. Although it is a
statement of serious intent, adoption does not constitute a commitment of finance or appropriation of funds to approved projects. Some
estimates contained in the plan (particularly in future years) may require further study, analysis, and refinement. In addition, circumstances,
priorities, or professional advice may change the City's approach to some projects. The annual review and update of the plan should adjust for
modifications during the current and future years.
During the budget development phase, the Finance Department coordinates the city-wide process of revising and updating the capital plan. Staff
members from all departments participate in the review of projects in the existing plan and the identification of new projects for inclusion in the
annually updated CIP. A draft of the updated plan is presented in the proposed budget for review and discussion by the City Council and public.
As the CIP displays, the city's utilizes diverse resources for funding the capital plan. These resources can include current revenues, cash reserves,
and/or debt financing. Special revenues funds - such as the Police Impact Fees Fund - have restricted usage rules and reporting requirements the
City must adhere to when planning the budget.

Capital Project / Item(s) Description
Background - The current Enterprise Resource Processing (ERP) system was acquired in the year 2000. It is the core system for day-to-day
business operations across all City departments. In addition to the serving as the accounting platform specific tasks performed within include
Payroll Processing, Requisitions and Purchase Orders, Utility Billing & Collections, and Personnel Management. Annual maintenance costs for the
current platform exceeds $100,000 annually.
Current Status - While a central ERP is necessary in some form, the current platform has not accommodated the changes in technology and staff
needs across the city. In recent years departments have been splitting away for specific tasks such as permitting (Development Services),
budgeting (Finance), work orders (Public Services), and personnel recruitment (HR). These changes have led to challenges and workflow
inefficiency due to the lack of integration with the current platform. In addition, system reliability and customer service concerns have continued
to increase the past two years.
The goal of this project is to identify, acquire, and implement the best ERP System solution that aligns with the City's financial operations,
improves efficiency, and supports scalability as our city grows. The department seeks to ensure the correct platform is in place that will
streamline financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and compliance, while enhancing data accuracy and reducing manual processing.

Fire Station #2 is currently staffed with a daily minimum of 6 personnel (up to 8) and lacks adequate accommodations to meet National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) standards for firefighter health and wellness. The station’s bathroom, locker room, kitchen, gear storage, and
fitness areas are undersized, and some are located in hazardous zones within the apparatus bays. The renovations will:
Expand bunkrooms and common areas to support 24/7 staffing,
Relocate fitness equipment and bunker gear away from diesel exhaust areas,
Add administrative and storage space to support increased call volume and future equipment,
Expand apparatus bays to accommodate modern and future apparatus sizes.
These improvements will enhance both the functional capacity and safety of the station, aligning with best practices in station design, cancer
prevention strategies, and department growth.
Project Funding Sources
Current revenues and cash reserves from the Fire Impact Fees Fund.
Future Operating Impacts
The renovation will extend the service life of Station 2 and align the facility with modern health and safety standards. It will improve firefighter
well-being, reduce contamination risks, and provide flexibility for future apparatus and staffing changes. The expansion addresses critical space
deficiencies without requiring acquisition of new land or relocation of operations. Additionally, leveraging existing fire impact fee funds allows the
City to avoid additional debt obligations or strain on the general fund. This investment ensures the station will remain operational, compliant, and
capable of serving a growing population well into the future.

Item: Fire Department Training Facility at 12th Street – $200,000 for Professional Services and $200,000 for buildings.
Justification/Objectives:
Clermont Fire Department’s training demands have grown significantly alongside increases in staffing, service delivery, and call volume. The
department currently holds an ISO Class 1 rating, requiring high performance in training, including over 200 hours of annual training for each
firefighter and 240+ hours for new hires. Additionally, all members must complete a minimum of 18 hours annually at a designated training
facility designed specifically for firefighting.
At present, CFD relies on external facilities in Leesburg, Tavares, and Orlando—each requiring extensive travel time and coordination. One of these
facilities (Valencia) will no longer be available after 2026, further increasing the urgency for a local training option.
This project directly supports:
Compliance with ISO, NFPA, and departmental training standards,
Reduction in travel time, increasing crew availability for emergency response,

Project Number: 22400
Department / Division: 522 - FIRE
Start Date: 10/01/2025
End Date: 09/31/2026
Capital Project / Item(s) Description
The Clermont Fire Department’s EMS Transport Program will establish the City’s first in-house advanced life support (ALS) transport capable unit.
This program represents a critical evolution in service delivery, allowing the department to respond with transport-capable rescue units when no
Lake County units are available, or when CFD is the closest responder to a life-threatening emergency such as a cardiac or respiratory arrest,
heart attack, or stroke.
This capital and operational investment includes the purchase of one new frontline ALS rescue unit and all required medical and communications
equipment to outfit both the newly acquired frontline unit and a previously purchased reserve transport unit. The proposed budget covers non-
personnel costs such as durable medical equipment, power stretchers, cardiac monitors, SCBAs, mobile data terminals (MDTs), radios, and
technology systems needed to operate two units 24/7 in compliance with local, state, and federal EMS regulations.
Item: Purchase of FD Transport Unit
This project involves the purchase of a new, fully integrated advanced life support (ALS) transport-capable rescue unit. The ambulance will be
used to launch the Clermont Fire Department’s first internal EMS transport operations, providing 24/7 response capacity for life-threatening
emergencies and calls where County EMS units are unavailable or delayed.
The transport unit will be custom-built and equipped with a patient care module, power supply, emergency lighting, warning equipment, chassis
modifications, medical shelving, and interior cabinetry designed to support modern pre-hospital care. The purchase includes all manufacturing
and customization costs, radio pre-wiring for department communication systems, graphic application for identification and branding, and a
$5,000 contingency to cover unforeseen costs during final design or up fitting.
This frontline unit will serve as the primary apparatus in CFD’s EMS transport program and will operate alongside a pre-owned reserve unit already
in the department’s possession.
Item: Outfitting of Transport Units with ALS Medical and Operational Equipment
This capital equipment investment provides for the complete outfitting of both the primary and reserve CFD transport units with advanced life
support (ALS) medical equipment and operational technology. The package includes all required devices and tools to deliver high-quality pre-
hospital care, ensure compliance with Florida Department of Health regulations, and support the deployment of fully independent, department-run
EMS transport operations.
Equipment to be purchased includes powered stretchers and mounting systems, cardiac monitors/defibrillators, stair chairs, automated CPR
devices, diagnostic tools, SCBAs, two-way radios, mobile base stations, vehicle-mounted modems, MDTs, and rugged laptops for electronic

Capital Project / Item(s) Justification and Objectives
The City has four (4) multi-purpose fields that are used extensively. Due to the heavy usage, field maintenance has proven to be difficult and field
conditions are poor. The conversion to artificial turf will provide a safe, consistent playing surface that can be used every day without the need
for the rest and recuperation that grass fields require. Field maintenance costs will decrease. The life expectancy of artificial turf is 10 years.

long-term warranty. The cost to maintain older lights is extensive. The older technology is being phased out over time with parts becoming more
difficult to secure.
2) The usage and volume of patronage at Hancock Park is extensive. Regional and national tournaments take place at the park on a regular
basis. The existing restrooms are not meeting the demand. The restroom addition is necessary to meet the needs of the park.

Capital Project / Item(s) Description
The Meet Us in the Middle project is meant to mark the midpoint of the Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail as well as to enhance the redevelopment of
the 8th Street area. Plans for this improvement were first approved by the City Council in 2015 as part of the Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) Plan and the Downtown Master Plan. Both the Master Plan and the CRA Plan were developed to keep our growing community connected
and to protect the very charms that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people to our City that is internationally recognized as one of the
nation’s top places to live, visit and play.
The work of designing a beautiful and functional space for this project is already underway, but construction has not yet begun. Currently, plans
for Meet Us in the Middle have been divided into three subprojects: a Plaza, the Docks, and the Amphitheater. There are links below to additional
details for each of these subprojects.

Capital Project / Item(s) Description
These docks would replace the 8th street pier that was destroyed during Hurricane Milton. One potential design would feature a dedicated and
fully accessibly fishing area and a breakwater. It would also serve as a transitory day-use only dock with no overnight mooring. It is not a boat
ramp nor a marina and will prohibit commercial use, fueling and repairs which could potentially cause damage to our ecosystem.
Design work on this project has already begun but has not been finalized. The proposed cost of this project will vary widely depending on the
final design that the city decides on. We hope to start construction in FY26.

The enhancement and development of the 8th Street Plaza to include the addition of a docking facility was first approved by the City Council in
2015 as part of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Plan and the Downtown Master Plan. Improvements to this area were most
recently set as a Council Priority in 2021. Both the Master Plan and the CRA Plan were developed to keep our growing community connected and
to protect the very charms that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people to our City that is internationally recognized as one of the nation’s
top places to live, visit and play.
Project Funding Sources
The primary source of funding would be the Recreation Impact Fund current revenues and cash reserves.
There is a possibility of partial cost reimbursement from FEMA as this dock would replace one that was destroyed during Hurricane Milton.
However, any amount provided from FEMA would not exceed the cost of replacing the dock to its pre-storm state.
Future Operating Impacts
This space will require ongoing maintenance from the Grounds division, similar to other parks and parts of the waterfront area.

With Clermont’s location along the beautiful shores of Lake Minneola and at the midpoint of the Florida Coast-to-Coast Trail (C2C) the Meet Us in
the Middle concept is most clearly recognized at the Plaza location. The location is ideally situated as a resting place along the trail and the
monument will be a memorable marker for those who are visiting our city. It is hoped that the monument will become one of the many sights to
see when people visit Clermont.
This project will enhance social interactions by providing opportunities for people to connect with neighbors, make new friends, meet new people,
build relationships and create a sense of community. Research shows that community events and activities held in similar locations promote
civic participation and volunteerism.
Project Funding Sources
This project will be funded from Recreation Impact Fees

This green space will be available to local organizations to provide educational and recreational events for residents and visitors alike. Public
green spaces, such as this project, offer a multitude of benefits to a community, enhancing both the physical and social well-being of all users.
The city applied for and was awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the Live Well foundation in order to build this space. The grant stipulates that the
funds only be used for the amphitheater-style green space and not the docks. Also, the Live Well Foundation has naming rights to the space.
Project Funding Sources
A grant from the Live Well Foundation of South Lake will provide $1 Million in funding for this project.
$400,000 of the grant was received in FY25 after the city council approved the project.
$300,000 will be received once the project begins construction.
$300,000 will be received once the project is complete.
Expenditures and Revenues related to the grant will accounted for in the General Fund.

Capital Project / Item(s) Description
Our current UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) have proven invaluable for outdoor operations such as search and rescue, felon apprehension, and
even overwatch. However these systems are typically reliant on GPS for stable flight and possess form factors and propeller designs not
conducive to navigating confined indoor spaces, such as residential building, commercial structure, and schools.
This limitation presents significant operational challenges and inherent risks during critical incidents occurring indoors, including:
Active Shooter Events: Gathering real-time intelligence on suspect location and movement without direct officer exposure.
Barricaded Subjects/Hostage Situations: Assessing the interior layout, identifying potential threats, locating individuals, and potentially establishing
communication lines without making entry.
Building Searches/Clearances: Performing preliminary searches for suspects or victims in complex or hazardous environments (e.g., post-incident
checks, searching large warehouses) before committing personnel.
High-Risk Warrant Service: Gaining visual intelligence inside a location prior to team entry.
Currently, officers must physically enter these potentially lethal or hazardous environments with limited prior intelligence, significantly increasing
their risk exposure.
The proposed acquisition involves two UAS platforms specifically engineered for stable, reliable flight in GPS-denied indoor environments. Key
features typically include:
Compact Size & Maneuverability: Designed to navigate doorways, hallways, and cluttered spaces.
Collision Tolerance: Often feature ducted or protected propellers, allowing incidental contact with walls or objects without catastrophic failure.
Advanced Sensors: Utilize vision positioning systems, LiDAR, or other sensors for stabilization and navigation without GPS.
High-Quality Imaging: Equipped with high-definition visual and often thermal cameras for effective reconnaissance in various lighting conditions.
521-Police: Police Drones521-Police: Police Drones
368
Potential for Audio Communication: Some models offer two-way audio capabilities.
These specialized drones provide a remote observation platform, allowing incident command and tactical teams to "see inside" before making
entry, drastically improving situational awareness and informing tactical decision-making.
Attached you will find a quote for a drone that our team has determined will best meet our needs. The quote is a 5 year contract for $20k per year.
This includes 1 drone with all accessories, warranties, software, etc. During year 3 and year 5 of the contract, we would get the newest version of
their drone as a free replacement, while still being able to keep the original drone operational.

Capital Project / Item(s) Justification and Objectives
Acquiring multiple indoor-capable units is crucial for operational effectiveness and readiness:
Operational Readiness and Redundancy: Critical incidents demand reliable equipment. Having two units ensures operational continuity if one unit is
damaged, requires maintenance, or its battery is depleted during an extended operation. A single point of failure is unacceptable for such a vital safety tool.
Simultaneous Deployment Potential: Certain scenarios may benefit from deploying drones at multiple entry points or locations within a large structure
concurrently, providing more comprehensive intelligence faster.
Training and Proficiency: Allows one unit to be dedicated to regular, essential training exercises while keeping the second unit fully operational and ready for
immediate deployment.
The addition of indoor-capable UAS's represents a critical technological advancement for the Clermont Police Department, directly addressing a
known operational gap and enhancing officer safety. This capability allows for remote reconnaissance in high-risk indoor environments, providing
invaluable real-time intelligence that informs safer and more effective tactical responses. This investment is not merely technological
enhancement; it is a direct investment in the safety and well-being of our officers and the community members they protect during critical
incidents. We strongly recommend approval of this vital acquisition.

1) This mower will replace mower #4429, a 2017 Scag Turf Tiger with currently 1,546 hours and a repair cost of $140 for this Fiscal year. This
large area mower can be utilized in more open areas similar to Lake Hiawatha Park or Waterfront Park, and will reduce the amount of hours it
takes to mow these areas dramatically. This will leave more time for detailing for crews like addressing weeds in the beds, tree trimming,
mulching beds, etc. Besides the main deck under the mower, this machine has 2 side mounted wings that add to the mowing range and folds up
to fit onto the existing trailers that the crews currently use.
2) These mowers will replace mower #4378, a 2007 Scag Turf Tiger Zero Turn mower that has 3,852 hours and currently has a repair cost of $100
for this fiscal year. Mower #4418, a 2015 Bad Boy Outlaw Zero Turn that has 1,900 hours and currently a repair cost of $150 for this fiscal year.
This would begin our mower replacement program for the Grounds Division and would replace the 2 mowers that currently have the most hours
in the fleet. With age comes wear and tear and will result in higher repair costs moving forward including up to motor or drivetrain replacements.

know exactly how bright our retroreflector will appear to drivers as well as determine if the color of the sign falls within the defined color box for
that sign.
2) This skid steer will be a high flow machine that will enhance the machines capabilities allowing it to handle more demanding tasks and operate
a wider range of attachments than the skid steer we currently have. Within just this fiscal year since October, our 2006 skid steer has a repair cost
of $6,170 and has been out of the rotation a combined 3 months due to repairs. Having this machine, combined with the listed attachments, will
allow us to have a more dependable machine on hand for natural disasters and afternoon emergencies while also handling daily projects.

Due to a lack of space to put dumpsters, our downtown businesses have had to use multiple cans of trash with multiple pickups throughout the
week in order to take care of their garbage. This proposal would install trash compactors that require less frequent emptying at seven locations in
downtown.
The table shows the costs to purchase the compactors. Leasing them is also an option. The expected cost to lease the compactors is $533.71
per month per location. With seven sites, a full year of leasing would cost around $44,831.
Project Funding Sources
This will be funded from the Sanitation Fund.
Expected revenues to the city are estimated at 104 downtown businesses paying $41.08 per month. This is $4,272.32 per month and about
$51,268 per year.
Future Operating Impacts
Operating impacts include an additional employee (requested elsewhere in this FY26 budget), additional trucks to haul the garbage, and repair
and maintenance costs for the compactors.

Capital Project / Item(s) Justification and Objectives
1) The current plant lift station services the Wastewater Treatment facility and Hancock Park. This lift station was designed to run on 2 pumps if
necessary while a third pump is on standby. The station currently runs with all 3 pumps when in high demand on a regular basis due to increased
flows, adding risk of sanitary sewer overflows at the station. The upgrades will include, upsizing the three pumps and discharge piping to the
main, replacing and upsizing the current electrical service wiring and control panels and adding automation for controls.
2) These radios relay information such as wet well levels, pump run status, communication failures, generator run status and automatic transfer
switch status as well as utility power status to the east wastewater treatment plant main computer server. Priorities are set for each component
of information and as the priority level is reached, on call personnel are notified if an emergency is taking place at a station, such as a high level
and potential overflow is beginning to occur. The current radios and antenna connections are failing on a weekly basis in clear weather situations
and must be attended to immediately for communication to get back to normal. It is imperative that the radio communications operate properly in
inclement weather as they send wastewater information for on-call personnel and other personnel to assess and resolve lift station issues before
the issues become sanitary sewer overflows, which must be reported to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Florida
Department of Health (FDOH).
3) Current equipment such as piping, connectors, valves, vault safety grates, pumps, fencing and other components at lift stations are
deteriorating due to sewer gasses and age. Plug and check valves, base elbows and riser piping as well as generator enclosures and other
equipment are corroded due to sewer gasses like hydrogen sulfide. These components need to be replaced before the corrosion creates major
issues such as pump misalignment, pipe breakage and check valves to stick open which will allow fluids that have been pumped, back into the
wet well to be pumped again and possibly causing wet well overflows due to the additional fluids.
4) The existing odor control units at two lift stations are currently not removing all odors effectively and residential complaints of odor are
investigated on a regular basis. The odor control units reduce or remove gasses which cause these issues.
5) The replacement electrical breakers will be used to take the current breakers offline to perform a much needed preventative maintenance. The
existing breakers have been in service since 2002 and power to the majority of the Wastewater plant. If the breakers fail, the plant will lose the
ability to treat up to 4 million gallons of incoming flow and supply reuse water to the residents.
6) The light tower is necessary to light the area of infrastructure malfunctions in dark areas at night and has the capability to provide power for
additional equipment such as jack hammers, grinders and saws to help more efficiently and safely get work tasks completed.

resources do not adhere to jurisdictional boundaries, participation ensures our utility has a seat at the table in discussions about shared water
sources, infrastructure planning, and regional growth strategies. This helps prevent duplication of efforts and supports more cost-effective,
integrated solutions.
The initiative may provide opportunities for joint funding applications, state and federal grants, and cost-sharing on large-scale projects such as
interconnects, treatment expansions, or alternative water supply development. Being an active participant enhances our eligibility and influence.
By collaborating with neighboring agencies, we can jointly explore and implement sustainable practices like aquifer recharge, reclaimed water
expansion, and conservation programs improving the long-term reliability of our water supply. Engagement in the initiative allows us to contribute
to regional water policy development, ensuring our community’s needs and priorities are represented in broader planning and regulatory
discussions.
Participation facilitates access to shared data, modeling tools, and technical expertise, which improves our ability to make informed decisions,
forecast future demands, and optimize system performance.

Capital Project / Item(s) Justification and Objectives
1) Replace outdated fiber optic controls at Sunburst.
The equipment and processes at the Sunburst Water Treatment Plant is monitored and controlled 24 hours a day by a SCADA system. SCADA
receives all of its inputs, outputs, and information from the plant through a fiber optic connection. This fiber optic system is nearing 20 years old,
the end of its life expectancy. The ends of the cable and associated hardware connections have become problematic and we are finding the
connections to be outdated and increasingly hard to source and repair. Our IT department has recommended updating connections and switching
gear in order to ensure reliability. The failure of any portion of the fiber system results in the loss of monitoring and requires physical monitoring
24 hours per day until repaired.
2) Replace outdated and unsupported security system at Greater Hills well #4 and the Distribution warehouse.
Security access at the Greater Hills Water Treatment Plant, is currently controlled and monitored by a system that has become problematic and
no longer supported. Electronic access systems enable updated and real time monitoring and control to who can access critical facilities
requiring a heightened level of security. This request would provide for the necessary hardware and installation for the migration to a new access
system, making it compatible to other existing City facilities. This would include the changeover of the Greater Hills Water Treatment Plant and
Well #4 / Elevated Tank site. It would also extend control to the entrances of the Distribution warehouse at the wastewater treatment plant, which
currently has no electronic access control.
3) Spare bowl assembly for Greater Hills.
This request is to purchase a spare bowl assembly for the Greater Hills Treatment Plant high service pumps. A bowl assembly is the part of a well
pump, located in the water at the bottom, that moves or pumps the water. This assembly is made of a series of impellers, called bowls, put
together. Each bowl, is designed to move a specific amount of water a specific height, or head. Multiple bowls are then put together to form a
bowl assembly. Each bowl assembly is designed and manufactured specifically for a very specific application, and as a result these assemblies
are not “off the shelf” items and have a long lead time. This necessitates having a spare on hand to provide minimum down time in the event of a
failure. There have been several times this spring when every one of our high service pumps were utilized to keep up with periods of peak
demand, losing one could create a loss of system pressure.
4) Upsize High Service Pump at Sunburst Water Treatment Plant.
High service pumps are the components that pump water directly into the distribution system. They are controlled automatically to adjust as
needed to maintain a system pressure set point. At the Sunburst treatment plant, five high service pumps maintain this pressure by automatically
adjusting on / off status and speed of each pump. Four of these pumps are 200 HP pumps rated at 2,500 gallons per minute (gpm), and one,
called a jockey pump, is 75HP and rated at 700 gpm. When this plant was built approximately 20 years ago, the smaller jockey pump was
sufficient to keep up most of the time and was more efficient than running a 200 HP pump cycling on and off when it wasn’t needed. With
population growth, the flows are now such that the jockey pump is no longer an effective component and replacing it with a 2,500 gpm pump
assembly will add needed capacity for periods of peak demand. Master planning recognized this so the plant was designed and built to allow for
this. As a result, all below grade infrastructure is already in place. Due to current flows both the master plan and capacity analysis report identify
the need for the new high service pump.
5) Paint exterior of Bloxam Tower.
The exterior coating of the Bloxam elevated tank has begun to fail and large sections are coming off. It is recommended that this tower be
pressure washed to remove all loose coating and the bare surfaces be prepped for spot priming. After priming and preparation, the entire surface
would receive a full coating of fluoropolymer paint and the existing logo will be re-applied. Beyond just the aesthetic aspect, this elevated tank is a
very high value, necessary asset, and as such needs to be maintained to extend its life. Failure to maintain at this time could result in a much
more aggressive process of sand blasting and priming of the entire tank prior to finish paint. This would be a very expensive and time consuming
process.
6) Many of the large water meters currently in use at commercial properties across our distribution system are nearing the end of their
operational life. Accurate and reliable metering is essential for both revenue recovery and system performance monitoring. To address these
challenges, we propose the replacement of existing large commercial meters with new water meters.
7) Our current portable air compressor has become increasingly unreliable due to age, frequent breakdowns, and diminished performance. This
equipment is a critical tool for daily operations, supporting a wide range of tasks such as operating pneumatic tools, installing new service lines,
pressure testing, and general maintenance across the water distribution system

During peak demand times, current tank will completely turn over its volume 3-4 times per day. Volume in tank is drawn down to low levels. CUP
modifications will both increase the demand on this tank and at the same time reduce the recovery capacity to refill. This creates the potential for
outflow shut down and a potentially catastrophic chain reaction to the water system as a whole.

Our current distribution system relies heavily on Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) to manage and stabilize water pressure across various zones.
Many of these PRVs are aging, experiencing increased maintenance needs, or no longer meet the performance standards required for optimal
system efficiency. As the system continues to age and demand patterns evolve, the limitations of these outdated components are becoming
more apparent.
Installing new PRVs is necessary for Improved Pressure Control: Modern PRVs offer greater accuracy and responsiveness, helping to maintain
consistent pressure levels across the network. This prevents excessive pressure that can lead to pipe bursts, leaks, and increased non-revenue
water.
Project Funding Sources
Current revenues or cash reserves from the Water Fund.
Future Operating Impacts
Having new valves should decrease costs due to pipe bursts and leaks.

Fund balance policies – Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations requiring the
use of resources for specific purposes. The City itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed
fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
Non-spendable fund balance: Non-spendable fund balances are amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form
or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balance: Restricted fund balances are restricted when constraints placed on the use of resources are either: (a) externally
imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance: The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. City Council (Council) is the highest level of decision-
making authority for the City that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the
limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the
limitation.
Assigned fund balance: Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not
meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Council is the only body that may assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund
balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s
appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally
have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a
commitment.
Unassigned fund balance: Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund.

Fund Fund Balance Fund Types - Governmental
Funds
An accounting entity that has a set of self-
balancing accounts and that records all
financial transactions or specific activities of
government functions.
Otherwise known as fund equity – is the
assets of a fund minus its liabilities.
Generally, in non-enterprise funds it
represents the surplus of income over
expenditures within a fund that is carried
over from prior years and may be
appropriated in the budget to support
anticipated expenditures, although
designated or restricted fund balance can
only be appropriated for a specific use.
Governmental fund reporting focuses
primarily on the sources, uses and balances
of current financial resources and often has a
budgetary orientation. The governmental
fund category includes the general fund,
special revenue funds, capital projects funds,
debt service funds and permanent funds
Fund Type - Proprietary Funds GAAP GASB
Proprietary fund is used in governmental
accounting to account for activities that
involve business-like interactions, either
within the government or outside of it. The
two types of proprietary funds are enterprise
