BOX 120219 · CLERMONT, FLORIDA 34712-0219 · PHONE: 352-241-7360 · FAX: 352-394-4082 www.CityofClermontFL.com March 31, 2009 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council and Citizens of the City of Clermont, Florida: We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Clermont, Florida, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. State law requires that every general-purpose local government publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of Clermont has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Clermont’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Clermont’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The City of Clermont’s financial statements have been audited by McDirmit Davis & Company, LLC, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Clermont for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of Clermont’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A provides “financial highlights” and interprets the financial reports by analyzing trends and by explaining changes, fluctuations and variances in the financial data. In addition, the MD&A is intended to disclose any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the City. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. iv Profile of the City of Clermont The City was founded in 1884 and incorporated in 1916. The City currently has a land area of 14.42 square miles and population of approximately 23,476. The City is located in south Lake County, approximately twenty-two miles west of the City of Orlando and about twenty-five miles northwest of Walt Disney World. Clermont, known as “The Gem of the Hills”, is truly the crossroads of Florida, at the intersection of State Road 50 that runs east and west across the state and U.S. Highway 27, which runs north and south through the center of the state. Clermont is on a chain of 15 lakes connected by the winding Palatlakaha River in the Ocklawaha Basin of tributaries of the St. Johns River, the only river system in the United States of America that flows north. The lakes offer residents the opportunity for excellent fishing, boating, swimming and other water sports including competitive skiing and wakeboarding offered by world-class instructional schools. The City of Clermont is known for its scenic beauty, relaxed lifestyle, recreational facilities and temperate climate. Residents have a wide variety of housing and property ownership opportunities, including lakefront and lake access property, golf course communities, homes in existing neighborhoods, residential retirement communities and new subdivisions. The City of Clermont Parks and Recreation Department operates 22 parks, 5.7 miles of scenic paved trails, 4 piers measuring a total of 840 feet, 1-612 foot boardwalk, 4 special purpose buildings and a boat ramp. The City of Clermont provides a full range of services as directed by its charter. These include police and fire protection; streets and sidewalk maintenance, planning and development, code enforcement, mosquito control, recreational facilities and programs, cemetery and general administrative functions. The City also provides potable water, wastewater collection and treatment, reclaimed water production and distribution, stormwater treatment, solid waste collection and recycling services. The City operates according to a Council/Manager form of government, with an appointed City Manager, four elected City Council members and an elected Mayor. The governing body has legislative responsibilities including setting policy, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City’s Manager. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the governing body, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for hiring the directors of the various departments. The annual budget serves as the foundation the City of Clermont’s financial planning and control. All departments of the City of Clermont are required to submit requests for appropriations to the City Manager. The City Manager then uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget. The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the Council for review. The City Council is required to hold public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than September 30, the close of the City of Clermont’s fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund (e.g. general fund), and department (e.g. fire department). The City Manager may make transfers of appropriations within departments; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of a department must be approved by City Council. Original and final amended budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund. The General Fund is presented on pages 20-21, the Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund is presented on page 22 and the Community v Redevelopment Special Revenue fund is presented on page 23 as part of the basic financial statements for the governmental funds. For other governmental funds, these comparisons are presented in the other governmental funds subsection of this report, which starts on page 62. The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Clermont operates. Local economy. The City of Clermont is essentially residential in character and its economy is centered in retail, real estate, personal services and healthcare. At September 30, 2008, Lake County’s unemployment rate was 6.5%. This is an increase of 1.8% over 2007 and is slightly lower than the state’s average of 6.9% and slightly higher than the national average rate of 6.2%. Educational institutions in Clermont such as Lake-Sumter Community College and the University of Central Florida assist in supplying a skilled labor force. South Lake Hospital, one of the City’s largest employers, is a significant economic presence that provides employment to 1,000 healthcare professionals and staff. The hospital has also attracted many new medical offices to the area. The cost of living for the region is below the national average. There is no personal income tax, either locally or state-wide. Sales tax, currently at 7%, is not charged on food or medicine. One cent of the sales tax charged within the county is limited to $50 per transaction (1% of $5,000). As discussed in the MD&A, this additional penny sales tax must be used for infrastructure including roads, buildings, land, land improvements and certain equipment. The national housing market decline affected Clermont during Fiscal Year 2008 in the form of reduced building permits and impact fee collections. The total of these collections decreased nearly 16% from Fiscal Year 2007. The decrease in these collections is continuing in Fiscal Year 2009. Major initiatives. The following items are capital projects that are currently planned for the City: • The planning/design phase for the construction of Fire Station No. 3 was completed during Fiscal Year 2008. The new station to be located in the eastern portion of the City will enable quicker response times to the growing population base in the area. The new station is estimated to cost approximately $1.5 million and will be funded from infrastructure sales taxes. • Planning for the construction of a new community center located on Lake Minneola near Waterfront Park is ongoing. Currently estimated to cost $9 million, the planned facility will accommodate weddings, meetings, and various community functions. This project is anticipated to be funded from infrastructure sales taxes, recreation impact fees and General Fund reserves. • Currently under construction, the East Water Reclamation Facility Expansion project includes construction of processes to upgrade the treatment capacity from two million gallons per day to four million gallons per day. Other improvements in the project include the addition of reclaimed water storage and vi distribution piping to deliver reclaimed water to existing customers. The total budget for the improvements is $19,900,000. The project is being funded from sewer utility reserves and sewer impact fees. • The Greater Hills Water Treatment Plant expansion project includes construction of a one million gallon ground storage tank and a bank of high service pumps to deliver potable water to the distribution system. Also included in the project is a new potable well and associated piping. The total budget for the improvements is $6,100,000. The project is anticipated to be funded from water utility reserves and water impact fees. • The City continued making installment payments on the purchase of 220 acres of land known as the Inland Groves property. The land is undeveloped and will be used for a passive park. Development is not scheduled to begin for several years. The price of the property purchased in 2006 was $16.5 million. The note provides payments to be made over the next four (4) years from infrastructure sales taxes, recreation impact fees and grants. Long-term financial planning. The City uses an extensive water and sewer master plan to manage growth in the water and sewer utility systems. The plan outlines water and sewer line size requirements for planned development with rough cost estimates. The plan also has benchmarks for plant expansions and additional well requirements. Slowed building permits for new home construction are being monitored closely since impact fee revenue is directly impacted by the housing market. This slowed growth also impacts the growth of ad valorem, utility tax and franchise fee revenues in future years. The slowdown in revenue growth may change the need for future borrowing in order to complete planned projects. However, through careful short and long range planning, conservative budgeting and sound management practices, most projects noted in the major initiatives section are anticipated to be accomplished without incurring any additional debt. The City also monitors state legislation regarding ad valorem taxes. Changes approved during the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions affected the Fiscal Year 2009 budget and will continue to affect future years. There are also a number of other changes being proposed during 2009 that could have far reaching implications on how government operates and the revenue sources available to fund them. Due to these circumstances, we are actively monitoring expansion projects and limiting additional personnel that will require multi-year funding commitments. Clermont City Council and management are committed to budgeting and managing all resources in the most cost-effective manner. Relevant financial policies. The City regularly reviews revenues and expenditures throughout the fiscal year. During the course of the year, if actual revenues are expected to fall short of the budgeted amount, expenditures are reduced to ensure that a shortage of funds or a significant use of fund balance does not occur. The City administers a cash management and investment program that seeks to maximize, in order of priority, the preservation of funds, liquidity and interest earnings over its cash and investments. Cash resources of the individual funds are combined to form a pool of cash and investments. The average cash and investment pool balance during the year (not including pension funds) was $55,063,724 and the average vii investment earnings rate was 5.3%. Investment income includes the change in the fair value of investments. During the year monies were invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy. Pension fund assets were invested in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy for Retirement Funds. The total pension fund assets at year end were $11,595,781 and the average investment income was -12.9%. Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Clermont for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. This was the twentieth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of the staffs in the City Manager’s office, Planning Department and Administrative Services Department. We would like to express our appreciation to all members of these departments who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. A special note of appreciation is due Regina Frazier and Rita Edwards in Finance for their hard work and dedicated efforts in the preparation of this report. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and the City Council for their support in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Clermont’s finances.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Clermont, Florida, as of September 30, 2008 and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the general fund, infrastructure special revenue fund and the community redevelopment fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 1 In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 19, 2009 on our consideration of the City of Clermont, Florida's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit preformed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Clermont, Florida basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U. S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and Chapter 10.550, Rulesof the Auditor General and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City of Clermont, Florida. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance and the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them. March 19, 2009 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As management of the City of Clermont, Florida we offer readers of the City of Clermont’s (the City) financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Clermont for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages iii through vii of this report. Financial Highlights • The City of Clermont’s assets exceeded its liabilities at September 30, 2008 by $126,937,864 (net assets). Of this amount, $30,049,284 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The City’s total net assets increased by $16,214,605 (or 15%) over the previous fiscal year. There was also an increase in net assets of $453,886 due to a prior period adjustment. • At September 30, 2008 the City of Clermont’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $21,502,836 a decrease of $1,084,841 over the previous fiscal year. Of this amount $19,382,803 (unreserved fund balance) is available for spending at the government’s discretion. There was also a decrease in fund balances of $250,769 due to a prior period adjustment. • The General Fund, the City’s primary operating fund, reported an unreserved fund balance of $9,572,280, which represents 30% of total general fund expenditures. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Clermont’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Clermont’s financial position, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. They include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Activities. These statements appear on pages 15 and 16 of the report. The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). 3 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Clermont that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Clermont include general government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, human services, and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of the City of Clermont include water, sewer, sanitation, and stormwater utilities. The government-wide financial statements include only the City of Clermont itself (known as the primary government) and one blended component unit (The City of Clermont Community Redevelopment Trust Fund). Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Clermont, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Clermont can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City of Clermont maintains ten individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, and the Infrastructure Fund and the Community Redevelopment Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other seven governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The City of Clermont adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its governmental funds. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget at page 20. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided for the Infrastructure Fund and the Community Redevelopment Fund on pages 22-23. Other nonmajor funds comparisons can be found beginning on page 66. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 17 - 23 of this report. 4 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED Proprietary funds. The City of Clermont maintains two types of proprietary funds: enterprise and internal service, which can be found on pages 24-29 of this report. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City of Clermont uses enterprise funds to account for water, sewer, sanitation and stormwater utilities. Internal service funds are an accounting tool used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among various functions. The City utilizes an internal service fund for its health insurance. Because services accounted for in the internal service fund predominately benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, it has been included within the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for water, sewer and sanitation which are all considered to be major funds. Data for the Stormwater Fund is also included since it is the only nonmajor fund. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Clermont’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for the proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 30 - 31 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to financial statements can be found on pages 33 - 57 of this report. Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with other governmental and proprietary funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 62 - 71 of this report. Government-Wide Financial Analysis The following is a summary of the City’s net assets for governmental and business-type activities for the current year as compared to the prior year. For more detail see the Statement of Net Assets on page 15. 5 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED CITY OF CLERMONT’S Net Assets Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total 2007-08 2006-07 2007-08 2006-07 2007-08 2006-07 Assets: Current and other assets $ 23,365,386 $ 23,914,752 $ 35,551,637 $ 53,538,468 $ 58,917,023 $ 77,453,220 Capital assets 38,254,015 26,543,013 63,171,994 41,767,574 101,426,009 68,310,587 Total assets 61,619,401 50,457,765 98,723,994 95,306,042 160,343,009 145,763,807 Liabilities: Long-term liabilities outstanding 11,319,769 11,144,514 16,872,313 16,954,473 28,192,082 28,098,987 Other liabilities 1,932,670 1,199,517 3,280,416 5,742,044 5,213,086 6,941,561 Total liabilities 13,252,439 12,344,031 20,152,729 22,696,517 33,405,168 35,040,548 Net assets: Invested in capital assets, Net of related debt 27,462,150 15,824,872 46,568,955 24,836,899 74,031,105 40,661,771 Restricted 8,958,624 7,829,950 13,898,851 36,931,532 22,857,475 44,761,482 Unrestricted 11,946,188 14,458,912 18,103,096 10,841,094 30,049,284 25,300,006 Total net assets $ 48,366,962 $ 38,113,734 $ 78,570,902 $ 72,609,525 $126,937,864 $110,723,259 The City’s total net assets at September 30, 2008 were $126,937,864. Of the City’s total net assets $74,031,105 (58%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements, infrastructure and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Clermont’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City’s total net assets, $22,857,475 (18%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the City’s total net assets, $30,049,284 (24%) is unrestricted. These assets may be used at the City’s discretion in meeting its ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The City’s net assets increased by $16,214,605 during the current fiscal year. Almost half of this increase was due to the construction in progress of the East Side and Greater Hills Water Treatment Plants and a reclaimed water plant, which significantly increased capital assets. Restricted reserves represent the accumulation of impact fee funds for upcoming and ongoing capital projects. Unrestricted reserves represent increases in investment cash in governmental funds. The increase is due to actual revenues exceeding anticipated revenues, which is the result of growth in the City’s tax base. The following is a summary of the City’s governmental and business-type activities for fiscal year 2007-08, including revenues and expenses, with a comparison to the prior year.

Business-type activities - Business-type activities increased the City of Clermont’s net assets by $5,961,377. Key elements of this increase are as follows: • Charges for services for business-type activities increased by $1,099,816 (11%), primarily due to increase in demand. • Capital contributions totaled $1,479,537. These contributions are water and sewer impact fees paid by developers. The fees were adopted by the City to require new development to pay its proportionate share of the capital costs necessary to accommodate new development impacts on the City’s water and sewer system. The City is using this revenue for large capital projects that are currently under construction such as the Sunburst Lane and Greater Hills Water Treatment Plants and a Water Reclamation Plant.

Governmental Funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Clermont’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $21,502,836 a decrease of $1,084,841 in comparison with the prior year. Of the governmental funds combined ending fund balances, $19,382,803 (90.1%) represents unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending because it has already been committed for debt service, inventories and prepaid expenses, or it is being held in a non-expendable trust fund. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Clermont. As of September 30, 2008, the fund balance in the General Fund was $9,780,786 an increase of $345,472 in comparison with the prior year. Of the total fund balance in the General Fund, $9,572,280 (99%) was unreserved fund balance. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 30% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 30% of that same amount. Contributing to this increase in fund balance is a grant received from the County which partially offset a recreation land purchase made in the prior year. The City also has an Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund that is considered a major fund under criteria set forth by GASB Statement #34. This fund is used to account for the City’s share of the Local Government Infrastructure Surtax. The surtax, which represents a countywide one- cent increase in the state sales tax, was authorized for an additional fifteen years by the voters of Lake County in November, 2001. The surtax may only be used for infrastructure projects or public safety equipment with a useful life in excess of five years or on debt issued to finance the above. During fiscal year 2007-08, the fund balance of the infrastructure fund decreased by $2,874,894. This decrease is due to the transfer of funds to the Capital Projects Fund for expenses associated with the construction of the Fire Administration facility as well as funding for the future construction of a community center. The Community Redevelopment Special Revenue fund is considered a major fund in order for our external auditors to express an opinion on this fund as required by Florida Statutes chapter 163.387(8). This fund was created in 1997 as a dependent taxing district. The incremental annual increase in tax over the base years is used to fund projects. As of September 30, 2008, the fund balance was $907,346 an increase of $303,744 over the prior year. Currently, phase II of the streetscape improvements in this district is being engineered. The remainder of the change ($1,140,837) to the governmental fund balance was from the non- major governmental funds. Recreation, police and fire impact fee fund balances combined decreased a total of $2,610,482. The capital projects fund balance increased by $3,652,722. The fund balances in the remaining non-major funds increased a total of $98,597. 11 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – CONTINUED Proprietary Funds. Proprietary Funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City’s major proprietary funds are water, sewer and sanitation. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont’s proprietary funds reported total net assets of $78,570,902 an increase of $5,961,377 in comparison with the prior year. Total net assets also increased by $704,655 due to a prior period adjustment. Of the proprietary funds total net assets, $18,103,096 (23%) represents unrestricted net assets. Restricted assets of $13,898,851 (18%) are reserved for capital improvements. The Water Fund accounts for the provision of potable water service to City and non-City residents. All activities necessary to the provision of these services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to administration, plant and line maintenance. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont’s water fund reported total net assets of $27,174,724, an increase of $2,546,166 (10%) in comparison with the prior year. This increase is partially due to servicing an expanded customer base. The residential customer base has increased from 16,394 customers in September 2007 to 16,959 as of September 2008. Approximately 54% of the increase in net assets was operating income. The remainder was from impact fee collections that are accumulating for large capital projects that will expand the current water system. The Sewer Fund accounts for the provision of sewer services to City and non-City residents. All activities necessary to the provision of these services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to administration, plant and line maintenance. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont’s sewer fund reported total net assets of $44,036,686, an increase of $2,165,787 in comparison with the prior year. This increase is primarily due to impact fee collections. Much of the money collected for impact fees is accumulating for large capital projects that will expand the current sewer system. The remainder of the increase is due to servicing an expanded customer base. The residential customer base has increased from 11,554 customers in September 2007 to 11,913 in September 2008. The Sanitation Fund accounts for the provision of garbage and trash collection, recycling, and composting services to City residents. All activities necessary to the provision of these services are accounted for in this fund. As of September 30, 2008, the City of Clermont’s sanitation fund reported total net assets of $2,942,867, an increase of $438,329 in comparison with the prior year. This was primarily due to operating income. General Fund Budgetary Highlights During the year there was a $1,659,279 increase in appropriations between the original and final amended budget. Following are the main components of the increase: • $160,000 increase for a FEMA grant to purchase a Fire Simulator Trailer. • $ 26,780 increase for the demolition of the Cooper Memorial Library Building. • $960,000 increase for the Legends Way road extension and the Lake Winona Bridge. 12 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED Actual revenues were $210,973 more than budgeted revenue and actual expenditures were $1,308,702 less than budgeted expenditures.

Additional information on long- term debt can be found in Note 8 on pages 48 - 50 of this report.

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

total governmental funds:(1,084,841)$ Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because: Governmental funds report outlays for capital assets as expenditures because such outlays use current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement of Activities reports only a portion of the outlay as expense. The outlay is allocated over the assets' estimated useful lives as depreciation expense for the period. This is the amount by which capital outlays $13,561,862 exceeded depreciation $1,844,646 in the current period. The net effect of sales of capital assets is to decrease net assets.(6,214) Governmental funds report bond proceeds as current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement of Activities treats such issuance of debt as a liability. Governmental funds report repayment of bond principal as an expenditure, In contrast, the Statement of Activities treats such repayments as a reduction in long-term liabilities. This is the amount by which proceeds exceeded repayments. (73,724) Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and these are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds: (96,605) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as fleet maintenance and information technology, to individual funds.

Reporting Entity The City of Clermont, Florida (the City) is a political subdivision of the State of Florida located in Lake County. The City of Clermont was incorporated under State law in December 1916 and operates under the council-manager form of government under its charter adopted pursuant to H.B. 2223, Ch.67-1217 Special Acts, of the State of Florida. The legislative branch of the City is composed of a Mayor and four (4) members elected Council. The City Council is responsible for the establishment and adoption of policy. The execution of such policy is the responsibility of the Council appointed City Manager. In evaluating how to define the government, for financial reporting purposes, the City has considered all potential component units. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization’s governing body, and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organizations’ resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. In applying the above criteria, the City has one blended component unit as follows: The City of Clermont Community Redevelopment Fund The City of Clermont created the Downtown Redevelopment Agency in May of 1997. This is a dependent taxing district established in accordance with Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes. Notification to affected taxing agency was done in compliance with Chapter 163.346, Part III, Florida Statutes. The incremental annual increase in tax over the base years will be used to fund projects designed to enhance and improve the described area. The City Council, being the duly elected governmental body for the designated area, passed Resolution 97-950, which established the City of Clermont as the Redevelopment Agency for the purpose of carrying out the community redevelopment programs and plans within the area. Through Ordinance 359-M the City established the Community Redevelopment Trust Fund to account for all transactions generated by this special revenue fund. 33 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. 34 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. The government reports the following funds: Major Governmental Funds The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Infrastructure Special Revenue Fund was established to account for the proceeds of the Local Government Infrastructure Surtax. The proceeds and interest accrued thereto, by law are only to be used to finance, plan and construct infrastructure. The Community Redevelopment Fund was established as a dependent taxing district. The incremental annual increase in tax over the base years will be used to fund projects designed to enhance and improve the described area. Non-Major Governmental Fund Types Special Revenue Funds account for specific revenue sources that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for specific purposes. Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of principal and interest on certain long-term debt. Capital Projects Fund account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Major Proprietary Funds Water Fund is used to account for the operations of the City’s water system, which is financed in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the costs, including depreciation, of providing services to the general public on an ongoing basis are financed primarily through user charges. 35 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Major Proprietary Funds (Continued) Sewer Fund is used to account for the operations of the City’s sewer system, which is financed in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the costs, including depreciation, of providing services to the general public on an ongoing basis are financed primarily through user charges. Sanitation Fund is used to account for the fiscal activities of the City’s refuse collection and disposal operation. Non-Major Proprietary Funds Stormwater Fund (Enterprise Fund) is used to account for the fiscal activities of the City’s stormwater drainage operation, as well as the funding and payment of related debt. Internal Service Fund is used to account for the costs of group insurance which are charged to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis. Fiduciary Funds Pension Trust Funds account for activities of police officers, firefighters and general employees retirement plans which accumulate resources for pension benefit payments to qualified employees. Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance. As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government- wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are other charges between the City’s water and sewer function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. 36 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s water, sewer, sanitation and stormwater utility funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The City also recognizes as operating revenue the meter fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity 1. Deposits and Investments The government’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments of the City are reported at fair value. The City’s investments consist of investments authorized per their investment policy adopted in accordance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The City has implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures. 2. Receivables and Payables Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” 37 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity - (Continued) 2. Receivables and Payables - (Continued) Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances”. Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectables. The County bills and collects property taxes and remits them to the City. City property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables. All property is reassessed according to its fair value on the lien date, or January 1 of each year. Taxes are levied on October 1 of each year. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of November, 3% in the month of December, 2% in the month of January, and 1% in the month of February. The taxes paid in March are without discount. All unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. On or around May 31 following the tax year, certificates are sold for all delinquent taxes on real property. 3. Inventories and Prepaid Items All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 4. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of the City’s enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate bank accounts and their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Assets so designated are identified as restricted assets on the balance sheet. 38 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity - (Continued) 5. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government- wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of $750 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Capital assets of the City are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Buildings 10-50 Improvements 15-50 Infrastructure 30-50 Equipment & machinery 3-15 39 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity - (Continued) 6. Compensated Absences It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary financial statements. A portion of sick pay is accrued for employees with at least ten (10) years of service. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. For governmental activities, compensated absences are generally liquidated by the general fund. 7. Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 8. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. 40 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 2 - Prior Period Adjustment Beginning net assets in the water, sewer and stormwater funds have been adjusted for the effects of certain construction in progress related costs that were incorrectly expensed in the prior year. As a result, prior year operating income was understated by $583,994 in the water fund, $54,817 in the sewer fund, and $65,844 in the stormwater fund. Beginning fund balance of the General fund has been adjusted for removing an expenditure twice that did not belong in the prior fiscal year. The effect was to overstate the change in fund balance in the prior year by $250,769. Note 3 - Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements: A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-Wide Statement of Activities The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that “Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.” The details of this $11,717,216 difference are as follows: Capital outlay 13,561,862$ Depreciation expense (1,844,646) Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities 11,717,216$ Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets.” The details of this $73,724 difference are as follows: Debt issued or incurred: Loan proceeds (8,250,000)$ Principal repayment 8,176,276 Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities (73,724)$ 41 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 3 - Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued): A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-Wide Statement of Activities (Continued) Another element of that reconciliation states that “Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.” The details of this difference are as follows: Compensated absences 101,531$ Accrued interest payable (4,926) Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities 96,605$ Note 4 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability: Budgetary Information - The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: (1) Prior to the end of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. (2) Budget workshops are scheduled as needed. (3) The general summary of the budget and notice of public hearing is published in the local newspaper. (4) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. (5) Prior to October 1, the budgets are legally enacted through passage of a resolution. (6) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any department must be approved by the City Council. (7) The level of classification detail at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is the department level. 42 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 4 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability (Continued): Budgetary Information - (Continued) (8) Appropriations lapse at the close of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended. Encumbrance accounting is not used by the City. (9) Budgets are adopted for the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds and the capital projects fund on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, except as described below under Budget Basis of accounting. Budgets are also adopted for the enterprise funds: however, these data are not presented under generally accepted accounting principles. (10) The City Council, by Ordinance or Resolution, may make supplemental appropriations in excess of those originally estimated for the year up to the amount of available revenues. Budgeted amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted for legally authorized revisions. Budgetary Basis of Accounting - The city includes a portion of the prior year’s fund balances represented by unappropriated liquid assets remaining in the fund as budgeted revenue in the succeeding year. The results of operations on a GAAP basis do not recognize the fund balance allocation as revenue as it represents prior periods’ excess of revenues over expenditures. The City does not budget for capital outlay expenditures and other financing sources related to the acquisition of assets through notes payable. Also, the City does not budget for the state pension contributions that must be recorded as intergovernmental revenue and public safety expenditures in the General Fund GAAP financial statements. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 the following adjustments are necessary to convert General Fund revenues, expenditures, and other financing sources on the GAAP basis to the budgetary basis: Revenues Expenditures Other Financing Sources (Uses) General Fund: GAAP Basis 24,300,718$ 32,477,727$ 8,522,481$ Nonbudgeted state pension amounts (464,090) (464,090) - Nonbudgeted notes issued - (8,250,000) (8,250,000) Budgetary basis 23,836,628$ 23,763,637$ 272,481$ 43 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 5 - Cash and Investments: Deposits At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $154,424 and the bank balance was $366,645. Fiduciary fund cash held by the pension fund is not in the City’s bank. All bank deposits were fully covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral held in banks that are members of the State of Florida's Collateral Pool as specified under Florida law. Florida Statutes provide for collateral pooling by banks and savings and loans. This limits local government deposits to "authorized depositories". Investments Investments in all fund types are stated at fair value, which is the amount for which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. Fair value is based on quoted market prices. Changes in the fair value of investments are recognized as revenue and included in investment income. The City’s investment policies are governed by state statute and city ordinance. Authorized investments are: (a) The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust (SBA). (b) SEC registered money market funds. (c) Interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories. (d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. (e) Federal agencies and instrumentalities. (f) Securities of, or other interests in, any open-end or closed-end management-type investment company or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (g) Repurchase Agreements. (h) Other investments authorized by ordinance. The assets of the City’s police and firefighters pension funds, as well as the general employees defined benefit pension fund, are invested in the pooled investment fund for the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF). Investments held in this fund consist of corporate bonds and stocks and cash equivalents. The fund is stated at fair value, and investment earnings are allocated to participants in the fund based on their equity in this pooled investment account is stated at fair value as provided by the Florida Municipal Pension Fund. 44 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 5 - Cash and Investments (Continued): Investments - (Continued) Investments made by the City of Clermont at September 30, 2008 are summarized below. Defined benefit pension plan investments, other than $7,750,969 in mutual funds investing in equity securities, are included below. In accordance with GASB 31, investments are reported at fair value. Investment Type Fair Value Credit Rating Weighted Average Maturity Federal Agency Bond 15,191,442$ AAA US Treasury Bond 3,931,314 TSY Federal Agency Discount Note 27,435,153 A-1+ Repurchase Agreements 8,505,815 Unrated <90 days Pension fixed income securities 3,543,188 AA/V4 5.04 years 55,063,724$ Credit Risk: The City’s investment policy limits credit risk by restricting authorized investments to those described above. Custodial Credit Risk: In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. The City’s investment policy requires that bank deposits be secured as provided by Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. This law requires local governments to deposit funds only in financial institutions designated as qualified public depositories by the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, and creates the Public Deposits Trust Fund, a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a default or insolvency has occurred. At September 30, 2008, all of the city’s bank deposits were in qualified public depositories. 45 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 5 - Cash and Investments (Continued): Investments - (Continued) For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the government will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At September 30, 2008, none of the investments listed are exposed to custodial credit risk because their existence is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form. Concentration of Credit Risk: The City’s investment policy requires diversification, but does not specify limits on types of investments. Interest Rate Risk: The City’s investment policy does not specifically address interest rate risk, however the general investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: Investments are made as a prudent person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence, to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and in general, avoid speculative investments. The City manages its exposure to declines in fair values by investing primarily in pooled investments that have a weighted average maturity of less than three months.

The investment and administrative agent for the defined benefit plans is the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund, an agent of the multiple-employer Public Employee Retirement System. The assets of the defined contribution plan is administered by Met Life. Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Each plan is independently governed by separate boards of trustees. Assets may not be transferred between plans, or used for any purpose other than to benefit each plan’s participants as defined in their authorizing ordinances. Each board contracts with the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF), a private, not-for-profit corporation established by the Florida League of Cities (FLC) for FLC members who wish to use its services. The FMPTF acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its members, contracting with a bank custodian, investment manager and actuary to provide a commingled investment fund and plan valuation services. These plans are included as part of the City’s reporting entity in Pension Trust Funds. The Clermont City Council adopted and may amend plan provisions by resolution. Stand-alone audited financial statements of the FMPTF are maintained on file at the FLC offices in Tallahassee, Florida, and are available upon request to the Pension Services Division. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting - The Plans’ financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Employer contributions to each Plan are recognized when due and the employer has made a formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of each plan. Method Used to Value Investments - Investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Investments that do not have an established market are reported at estimated fair value. There are no investments that exceed 5% of the plan net assets. Publicly available financial reports for each plan, that include detailed actuarial data, can be obtained from the City’s Administrative Services Department. 52 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 10 - Retirement Plans (Continued): Plan Descriptions and Contribution Information - Membership of each of the defined benefit pension plans consisted of the following at October 1, 2007, the date of the latest actuarial valuation: General Employees Police Officers Firefighters Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 12 6 1 Terminated plan members entitled to, but not yet receiving, benefits - 20 54 Active plan members - 49 43 Total 12 75 98 Plan Descriptions- The general employees defined benefit pension plan is for general employees hired prior to September 30, 1985. The police officers’ and firefighters’ defined benefit pension plans are both local law, single employer, defined benefit pension plans as defined under Florida Statutes, Chapters 175 and 185, which covers all sworn police officers and firefighters. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon employment with the City, and they are vested in the plan after ten years of service. The normal retirement date for firefighters is the attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service, or earlier attainment of age 52 and 25 years of service. The normal retirement date for police officers is the attainment of age 55 and 10 years of service, or 20 years of service, regardless of age. The normal retirement benefit is the number of years of credited service prior to October 1, 2002 multiplied by 2.25%, and the number of years of credited service after October 1, 2002 multiplied by 3%, and multiplied by the average final monthly compensation. Early retirement is available after age 50 and 10 years of service; however, the early retirement benefit is reduced by 2% for each year before the normal retirement date. Contributions - The City’s actuarially determined contribution rate per the October 1, 2007 actuarial valuations is 0% for general employees, 22.99% for police officers and 19.66% for firefighters.

The City uses the aggregate actuarial cost method to value its pension plans, which does not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities. Information about the plan’s funded status and funding progress has been prepared using the entry age actuarial cost method for that purpose, and the information presented is intended to serve as a surrogate for the funded status and funding progress of the plan. Additional information as of the latest actuarial valuation follows: General Employees Police Officers Firefighters Valuation date 10/1/2007 10/1/2007 10/1/2007 Actuarial Cost Method Aggregate Cost Aggregate Cost Aggregate Cost Amortization Method N/A N/A N/A Remaining Amortization Period N/A N/A N/A Asset Valuation Method Market Value Market Value Market Value Actuarial Assumptions: Investment rate of return 7.5% 7.5% 7.5% Projected salary increases (including inflation of 3.5%)0.0% 5.5% 5.5% 55 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 10 - Retirement Plans (Continued): General Employee Defined Contribution Pension Plan - The defined Contribution Pension Plan for General Employees of the City of Clermont was established October 1, 1985, as defined in Chapter 16, Article IV, of the Clermont Code, and is available to all permanent general employees of the City, once they have completed one year of employment. Employees are fully vested in the plan after ten years of service. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan, plus investment earnings. Contributions for, and interest forfeited by, employees who terminate employment before five years of service are used to reduce the City’s current period contributions. Covered payroll for this Plan for fiscal year 2008 was $4,440,059; the City’s total payroll for City employees was $9,699,959. The City contributes annually to the pension account of each active participant an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the employee’s annual compensation. No contribution is required by employees. The City of Clermont City Council adopted and may amend plan provision by resolution. The actual contribution made by the City for fiscal year 2008 was $444,309. Note 11 - Post-Retirement Benefits: Retired employees have the option of continuing the same type of health and dental insurance coverage available to them while they were employed with the City. The cost of the premiums is shared by the City and the retirees. Note 12 - Risk Management: During fiscal year 1990, the City established an internal service fund to account for its uninsured risk of loss for employee medical and dental coverage. Under this program, the fund provides coverage for the first $50,000 per year in medical, dental, or prescription claims for each covered employee. The City purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the fund with a total aggregate stop-loss of $2,000,000. There has been no reduction in insurance coverage from that carried in the prior year. Claims provided have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. 56 CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued September 30, 2008 Note 12 - Risk Management (Continued): The general, water, sewer, sanitation and stormwater funds participate in the program and make payments to the internal service fund based on the number of employees budgeted in each fund. 2008 2007 Claims liabilities, beginning of year $ 272,165 $ 153,177 Incurred claims 2,138,680 1,714,624 Payments on claims (1,996,339) (1,595,636) Claims liabilities, end of year $ 414,506 $ 272,165 Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies: Litigation - The City is engaged in various liability claims incidental to the conduct of its general government operations at September 30, 2008. While the ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot be determined at this time, management believes that any amounts not covered by insurance, if any, resulting from these lawsuits would not materially affect the financial position of the City.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management of employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the City’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City’s financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the City’s internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the City’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and accordingly would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. 107 Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City of Clermont, Florida, in a separate letter dated March 19, 2009. We did not audit the City’s response, and accordingly, we express no opinion on it. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the City Council and the Auditor General of the State of Florida, and is not intended to be, and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. March 19, 2009 108 109 REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND STATE PROJECT AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Clermont, Florida Compliance We have audited the compliance of the City of Clermont, Florida with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the Executive Office of the Governor's State Projects Compliance Supplement, that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2008. The City of Clermont, Florida’s major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects is the responsibility of the City of Clermont, Florida’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Clermont, Florida’s compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Clermont, Florida’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City of Clermont, Florida’s compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the City of Clermont, Florida, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2008. Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the City of Clermont, Florida is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs and state projects. 110 In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Clermont, Florida’s internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state project in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Clermont, Florida’s internal control over compliance. A control deficiency in an entity’s internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weaknesses, as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, of the City, the Auditor General of the State of Florida and federal or state awarding agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
