March ___, 2019
Honorable Mayor, Assistant Mayor, Council Members,
and Citizens of Bal Harbour Village, Florida
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) as of and for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2018, pursuant to Florida State law. A CAFR is a set of financial statements
comprising the financial report of a state, municipal, or other governmental entity that complies with
accounting requirements promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB).
The financial statements were audited by a firm of independent certified public accountants retained by
the Village and paid from its public funds.
This report may be accessed via the internet at http://www.balharbourfl.gov.
We encourage you to thoroughly review this document and we welcome the opportunity to discuss
some of the important items it addresses.
While financial activities are never an end unto themselves, their recording and presentation can give
the encouraged and knowing reader great insight into the operations of a community. They can
highlight both strengths and weaknesses and can illustrate the issues that are, at any time, being
addressed by the local government.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Village.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the Village has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect the Village assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable
information for the preparation of the Village’s financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their
benefits, the Village’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.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report
and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The
MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of Bal Harbour Village
The Village of Bal Harbour, Florida (the “Village”) is located on the northern tip of the barrier island
commonly referred to as Miami Beach; it is the northern‐most barrier island in a chain that extends
south to Key West, Florida. A channel between the north end of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean
runs across the northern end of the Village. The main traffic corridor running through the Village is
Collins Avenue, also demarked as Florida State Highway A1A.
DRAFT 3/15/19
ii
Occupying a land area of approximately 0.6 square miles, the Village population is 3,134 and has 291
active business licenses. The Village has one business‐district, which houses the Bal Harbour Shops, an
upscale, open‐air shopping mall which has ranked first in the U.S. for decades in productivity based on
sales per square foot. The remainder of the Village is high end, single family residential, and
condominium or hotel use, a balance that establishes a high quality of life for families.
The Village was incorporated in 1946, with a master plan and a vision for the future. A Resort Tax was
established creating a dedicated funding source derived from hotel and food and beverage purchases
within the Village. The resort tax funds are used to maintain the aesthetics of the community and
promote the Village as a premier tourist destination. This additional tax, contributes to the ability of the
Village to maintain one of the lowest property tax rates and overall taxing efforts among South Florida
municipalities. This community has spent considerable sums maintaining the unique character of the
Village. Our municipal boundaries are compactly defined and give the Village a true sense of place. The
cachet that comes from being associated with the Village of Bal Harbour adds a premium to property
tax values and the Village’s relaunched marketing and renewed branding efforts are thought to pay
dividends not only to commercial property owners, but also to residential property owners who enjoy a
higher value for their property, and pay a lower tax rate than they would absent a resort tax.
Few changes have been made since the original planned development of the Village, however since
2012, redevelopment of existing oceanfront properties commenced. In 2013, the St Regis, an AAA 5
Diamond rated hotel, one of only two hotels with this prestigious ranking in all of Miami‐Dade County,
Florida opened its doors. The 260‐unit luxury oceanfront residential Oceana Bal Harbour complex was
completed in 2017, adding an additional $810 million to the Village’s tax rolls for fiscal year 2018, and a
contribution of $35 million in easements to the Village.
Redevelopment of the Bal Harbour Shops, approved in FY 2018, will add an additional 350,000 square
feet of retail space, with a negotiated development agreement that calls for the development of a new
waterfront park, with partial developer funding, and a new Village Hall constructed by the developer.
This will add value to the Village’s tax roll, new businesses to the community, an engaging waterfront
venue, and a new Village Hall as the center of community life. In addition, the development agreement
also includes revenue streams from leased property, parking surcharges, and guarantees for ad valorem
revenue in future years.
Additional capital improvements on the horizon include the re‐design and updating of the Haulover
Inlet Jetty, inlet cut walk, and entrance to the beach at 96th Street, tying the inland redevelopment
along Collins Avenue, to the oceanfront beachside linear park corridor. The capital improvements
collectively enhance the favorable international image of the Village, and add to the amenities offered
to, and enjoyed by our residents and guests.
This financial report summarizes our current financial condition. It helps us to understand where we can
go and what we can do in the future. Planning is the most important tool available to us and the
Village’s planning efforts include the allocation of financial resources, to sustain the Village into the
future. Our ability to tax is limited. The opportunities provided to municipalities under Florida law are
limited, so we must work within the framework we are provided. For the Village to succeed, we must
continue to build and maintain value in what we have in order to enhance services to our residents in a
fiscally conservative manner, and maximize our existing resources through thoughtful planning and
allocation.

Government Structure and Services Provided
The Village exists as a Council‐Manager form of municipal government. Under Florida law, Bal Harbour
is considered a municipal corporation. The Village is governed by a Council of five (5) qualified persons,
each of whom must be a registered voter residing within the limits of the Village for a period of at least
one year immediately prior to their qualification. The Charter allows, and the Village Council has
enacted, legislation requiring the creation of five (5) districts of nearly equal area and population. To
qualify as a candidate for election, the person must reside within the District that he or she proposes to
represent on the Council. Village registered voters elect each of the five Council Members without
regard to districts. The Council elects one of its members as Mayor. The Mayor presides at the meetings
of the Council. The Council also elects one of its members as an Assistant Mayor who acts as Mayor
during the absences or disability of the Mayor. The Council appoints the Village Manager and the
Village Clerk. The Village Manager appoints Department Directors and administers the government of
the Village. The Department Directors have the primary responsibility to hire and fire employees,
however, the final decision ultimately rests with the Village Manager. The Village is organized into
various Departments as shown in the organization chart on page ix.
VILLAGE MANAGER’S OFFICE. This Office is responsible for leadership and the overall management of the
Village. Any policy that the Village Council wishes implemented becomes the responsibility of this
Office.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT. This Department is responsible for Financial Administration, Business and
Tourism Taxes, Payroll, and Water & Sewer Utility Administration and Customer Service.
BUILDING DEPARTMENT. This Department is responsible for Planning, Zoning, Land Use activities,
Building Permits and Inspections.
POLICE DEPARTMENT. This Department is responsible for all aspects of Public Safety services, inclusive of
Code Enforcement.
PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES DEPARTMENT. This Department combines the Public Works, Park and
Recreation, Water & Sewer Utility Operations, and Beautification activities and is responsible for the
Village’s facilities and infrastructure, beach maintenance, solid waste and recycling, landscaping efforts,
recreational and cultural activities.
TOURISM DEPARTMENT. This Department is responsible for the marketing and branding efforts of the
Village and is the liaison for the Resort Tax Board.
The six departments provide residents and businesses with the full range of municipal services
contemplated by state law or local charter. Services include police, culture, recreation, licensing and
permitting, general administration and finance, water and sewer utilities, public works and
maintenance, solid waste disposal and recycling, and code enforcement.
DRAFT 3/15/19
iv
Accounting Controls and Budgetary Process
Management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that the assets of the Village are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure
that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The internal
control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that these objectives
are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not
exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates
and judgments by management. Village internal controls in the last five years are much improved, to
include proper segregation of duties between accounts payables, receivables and cash receipt
processing, the daily reconciliation of banking activities, a Council approved process for management
approval of any utility billing adjustments, and proper procedures to maintain an accurate listing of
capital assets within an upgraded financial management system.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village’s financial planning and control.
Departmental allocations are based on long range planning efforts in support of the Village’s five key
goals, capital and master planning efforts such as the Utility Master Plan. Village departments submit
requests for appropriation to the Chief Financial Officer, these are incorporated with fixed annual
inflationary costs to produce the preliminary base budget, prior to the presentation and setting of the
preliminary millage by the Village Council in July of each year. The base budget is developed in
collaboration with directors, these requests are used to assist the Village Manager in developing a
Proposed Budget which depending on current year resources and resource allocation priorities, may
include enhancements to current service levels or capital allocations. The Council is required to hold
two public hearings on the Proposed Budget and to enact an Approved Budget as prescribed by the
State of Florida mandated process by the new fiscal year in October.
The Village maintains budgetary controls for all of its funds except fiduciary and agency funds. The
objective of these controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget
adopted by the Village Council. Activities of the various funds are included in the annual budget. The
legal level of control (such as, the level at which actual expenditures and transfers out cannot legally
exceed the “budget” appropriations) is maintained at the department/fund level. The Village does not
maintain an encumbrance accounting system.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the
Village continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.
Financial Policies and Planning
The Village prioritizes the allocation of resources with a focus on five key goals
Enhancing policing strategies and accountability;
Improving and beautifying our public spaces;
Investing in our Information Technology Infrastructure;
Enhance community engagement through public events and expanded communications with our
residents and visitors; and,
Establishing sustainable fiscal policies and planning for future capital investments.
These are the focus of our efforts and will continue to guide our funding priorities from year to year.
DRAFT 3/15/19
v
Coupled with continued administrative improvements, we prioritize the initiatives most important to
our Village Council and residents while keeping costs down consistent with revenue trends. In the past
few years, we added $2.96 million to our Capital Projects Reserve for use toward future capital projects
as a result of a policy to budget $300 thousand toward these contributions on an annual basis, and a
policy of allocating year end surplus (excess revenue over expenditure) in a proportionate manner to fund
both undesignated fund balance and an assigned capital projects reserve. This practice ensures a “rainy
day” fund, is available to the Village in the event of a dramatic downturn due to unforeseen fiscal
conditions that could adversely affect our community and/or economy, and that funds are available for
future capital projects. As a seaside, tourist‐based community, Bal Harbour Village is especially
vulnerable to the volatility of the tourist economy, as well as the annual threat of hurricanes and/or
severe weather events. The Village once again exceeded its requirement to maintain a minimum
unassigned General Fund balance of 33% of the subsequent year’s General Fund budgeted expenditures
in 2018.
To ensure the availability of funding for future capital needs, the Village has implemented:
A policy to allocate fifty percent of excess revenue over expenditure at the close of each fiscal
year to assigned fund balance for a Capital Projects Reserve,
A policy to budget funds for future pay‐as‐you go capital projects on an annual basis;
Continued the identification of alternative funding sources toward the completion of prioritized
capital projects, and allocate Village funding in support of these initiatives;
Competitive design and solicitation processes for the development of capital projects.
In FY 2018, an additional General Fund allocation of $1.749 million was appropriated toward the
Waterfront Park improvements ($884,000), Bal Harbour Haulover Inlet Jetty ($332,000), 96th Street
beach access and jogging path redevelopment ($200,000), Stormwater improvements ($160,000), and
other minor capital improvements. Additional utility appropriations toward the completion of the
Utility Master Plan were $2.277 million, and a Resort Tax allocation of $95,000 for Haulover Bridge
improvements.
Looking forward, major new capital initiatives to commence or continue in fiscal year 2019 include
commencement of construction on the new Waterfront Park, renovation of a new off‐site Park and
Public Spaces Facility, design for the redevelopment of the Bal Harbour Haulover Inlet Jetty, Inlet Cut
Walk and 96th Street beach access, completion of the ongoing Utility Master Plan construction, and
planning efforts toward improvements to the Collins Avenue Corridor, and the construction of a new
Village Hall. All told, the anticipated cost of these capital improvements total $70,500,000, with funding
readily identified for all but $17 million of future year improvements, without the need to issue
additional bonds, as summarized below.

Enterprise Operations
Water and Wastewater services within the Village are provided as an enterprise operation, services are
funded as payments for measurable water and wastewater services are consumed. Rates established as
charges for services should sustain its operations and satisfy any related debt. For the Village utility
operations, water is purchased at a wholesale rate from the Miami‐Dade County Water and Sewer
Department (WASD) and the City of Miami Beach applies a wholesale rate for Wastewater or sewer
services which travels through their system for treatment at the Miami‐Dade WASD Virginia Key plant.
Wholesale water service is paid directly to Miami‐Dade WASD, and wholesale sewer services are paid
directly to the City of Miami Beach by the Village, for this reason their rates directly affect the rates the
Village charges to our customers.
Risk Management
The goal of risk management is to qualify and quantify exposures that can weigh upon the Village’s
assets and to affect necessary action to eliminate and reduce losses within the Village. The Village is
exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Coverage is provided for general and auto
liability, workers’ compensation, excess liability, and health insurance through government risk pools
and commercial insurance. Proper management and internal controls serve to minimize this risk.

REPORTING ENTITY
The activities included in our report are those over which the Village has the ultimate financial
accountability, accompanied by the reporting information for the Village’s General Employees’ and
Police Officers’ Pension Plans. Activities for which the Village, as a “primary” government, is ultimately
financially accountable has been presented within this report. No activity has been excluded which
would cause our financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Certain activities are not included
in this report because they do not meet the necessary criteria. For example, in Florida, school boards
are independently elected and financially accountable for their finances. As such, the school board
would present separate financial statements.
Acknowledgements and Other Information
Independent Audit
State statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. Through the
statutorily required competitive process, the Village selected the accounting firm, RSM US LLP, to
conduct its annual audit. Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards were used by the
auditors in conducting the audit. The auditors’ report on the basic financial statements and combining
fund statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this report. The auditors’ report on
internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are included in a separate
section.
Acknowledgements
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the Finance Department and the accounting firm, RSM US LLP. We would
like to express our appreciation to everyone who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this
report. Credit also must be given to the Mayor and Council members for their unfailing support for
maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Village, and to their
appointees serving on the Village’s Budget Advisory Committee, for serving as the selection committee
for the external auditors, and providing their guidance throughout the annual budget development
process.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Village Council
Bal Harbour Village, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Bal Harbour Village,
Florida (the Village), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Bal Harbour Village, Florida, as of September 30,
2018, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 12 to the accompanying financial statements, the Village adopted the recognition
and disclosure requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 75,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions effective
October 1, 2017. The net position balance of the governmental activities as of October 1, 2017 has been
restated. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison schedules, and other post-employment benefits and
pension schedules as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting
for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
We and other auditors have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Village’s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information such as
the introductory section, statistical section, and combining fund financial statements and schedules are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements.
The combining fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion,
the combining fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – UNAUDITED
The following narrative provides an overview of Bal Harbour Village, Florida, (the “Village”) financial
activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. This narrative should be read in conjunction
with the letter of transmittal at the front of this report and the financial statements and
accompanying notes which follow this section. Additional information is provided within this
narrative and the accompanying required supplementary information and statistical sections of the
financial statements.
Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2018
At the close of the fiscal year, the total assets and deferred outflows of the Village exceeded its
liabilities and deferred inflows by $73.8 million (net position), this reflects a 6.2% increase over
the prior fiscal year. Of this amount, $20.7 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet
the Village’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors, reflecting an 8.4% increase over FY
2017. Unrestricted net position is comprised of $12.0 million in governmental activities and $8.7
million in business‐type activities.
At the close of the fiscal year, the total assets are $91.8 million, reflecting a 4.3% increase, total
liabilities are $20.9 million, reflecting a reduction of 5.4% over the prior year, with deferred
pension and post‐employment related inflows and outflows reduced to a net of $2.9 million.
At the close of the fiscal year, the Village’s governmental activities ended with a net positon of
$49.3 million, and the business‐type activities (Water & Sewer Fund) ended with a net position of
$24.5 million. The net position ending reflects an increase of $4.3 million over 2017, comprised of
an increase of $3.8 million in assets largely comprised of $2.2 million attributable to cash and
$1.5 million in capital assets, and a decrease of $1.2 million in liabilities.
At year end, the change in net position of governmental activities totals $3.7 million, comprised
of $456 thousand of accrued revenue, $962 thousand pension liability and debt principle, less
$844 thousand in pension related deferred outflows.
At the close of the fiscal year, the Village governmental funds reported combined fund balances
of $27.1 million, an increase of $3.1 million in comparison to the prior fiscal year. The unassigned
fund balance is $15.2 million, or 56% and 70% of the ending fund balance for governmental funds
and general fund, respectively. This amount is available for spending at the Village’s discretion.
Reflecting an increase of $2.4 million over the prior fiscal year due to excess revenue over
expenditure within the General Fund, resulting in increases to cash.
At the close of the fiscal year, governmental fund revenue increased by $2.3 million to
$21.3 million, comprised of a $1.8 million increase to property taxes, a $494 thousand increase to
resort tax, a $100 thousand increase to licenses and permit revenue, offset by decreases to
developer contributions, and fines and forfeitures, resulting in a $2.9 million increase to the
governmental fund’s ending balances.
At the close of the fiscal year, ending net position for the water and sewer proprietary fund is
$24.5 million, reflecting a change in net position over 2017 of $1.0 million. Unrestricted net
position for the fund is $8.7 million or 36% of total net position, which may be used to meet the
Village’s ongoing utility obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the close of the fiscal year, ending net position for the Village’s two pension trust funds is
$36.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million in comparison to fiscal year 2017.

The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report consists of six parts – introductory section,
management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required
supplementary information, combining statements for non‐major governmental funds and
statistical section.
Management’s discussion and analysis is designed to: (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant
financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the Village’s financial activity, (c) identify changes in the
Village’s financial position (its ability to address the next and subsequent year challenges), (d)
identify any material deviations from the financial plan (the approved budget), and (e) identify
individual fund issues or concerns.
Since the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to focus on the current year's
activities, resulting changes and currently known facts, please read it in conjunction with the
Village’s financial statements (beginning on page 15).
Overview of the Financial Statements
The financial statements focus is on both the Village as a whole (government‐wide) and on the major
individual funds. Both perspectives (government‐wide and major fund) allow the user to address
relevant questions, broaden a basis for comparison (year‐to‐year or government‐to‐government)
and enhance the Village’s accountability.
Government‐wide Financial Statements
The government‐wide financial statements (see pages 15 and 16) are designed to be corporate‐like in
that all governmental and business‐type activities are consolidated into columns that add up to a
total for the primary government. The focus of the Statement of Net Position (the "Unrestricted Net
Position") is designed to be similar to bottom line results for the Village and its governmental and
business‐type activities. The two government‐wide financial statements report the Village’s net
position and how they have changed. Net position–the difference between the Village’s assets and
deferred outflows and the Village’s liabilities and deferred inflows–is one way to measure the
Village’s financial health and position.
The statement of activities (see page 16) is focused on both the gross and net cost of various
activities (including governmental, component units and business‐type) that are supported by the
government's general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user's
analysis of the cost of various governmental services and/or subsidy to various business‐type
activities and/or components.
The government activities reflect the Village’s basic services, including general government, police,
solid waste, roads and streets, park and recreation, and tourism. Property taxes, franchise and utility
taxes, intergovernmental revenue, special assessments, and tourism revenue finance the majority of
these services. The business‐type activities reflect private sector type operations (Water and Sewer)
where the fees for service typically cover all or most of the cost of operation, including depreciation.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statement presentation focuses on major funds. The Government's major fund
(see pages 17 to 18) presentation is presented on a sources and uses of liquid resource basis. This is
the manner in which the financial plan (the budget) is typically developed. The flow and availability
of liquid resources is a clear and appropriate focus of any analysis of a government. Funds are
established for various purposes and the fund financial statements allow the demonstration of
sources and uses and/or budgeting compliance associated therewith (beginning on page 79).
DRAFT 3/15/19
6
The fund financial statements also allow the government to address its fiduciary (or trust) and
agency funds (see pages 23 and 24) by type (employee retirement funds and pending forfeiture funds).
While these funds represent trust or agency responsibilities of the government, these assets are
restricted in purpose and do not represent discretionary assets of the government. Therefore, these
assets are not presented as part of the government‐wide financial statements and are not
considered generally available to the Village to use for any other purpose.
While the business‐type activity – Enterprise column on the business‐type fund financial statements
(see pages 20 to 21) is the same as the business‐type activities column on the government‐wide
financial statement, the government major funds Total (page 17) column requires a reconciliation
because of the different measurement focus (current financial resources versus total economic
resources) which is reflected on the page following each statement (see pages 17 and 19). The flow of
current financial resources will reflect interfund transfers and other financial sources, as well as
capital expenditures. The reconciliation will eliminate these transactions and incorporate the capital
asset and long‐term obligations into the government activities column (in the government‐wide
statements).
GOVERNMENT WIDE STATEMENTS
The government wide financial statements were designed so that the user can determine if the
Village is in a better or worse financial condition from the prior year. The Village’s overall assets
exceeded liabilities by $73.8 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

As summarized above, the statement of net position for the Village reflects an increase of
$4.32 million, comprised of a $2.59 million net investment increase in capital assets, a net increase of
$1.60 million to unrestricted net position, and a $.12 million increase to restricted net position.
A large portion of the Village’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
building, and equipment) $47.9 million. The Village uses these capital assets to provide service to the
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. An additional, but
relatively minor, portion of the Village’s net position represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used (restricted assets) amounting to $5.2 million; for the
Village these include Tourism, Security District, and State Forfeiture funds.
The Unrestricted balance is intended to be a corporate style measurement of well‐being (or a
bottom line) for the Village and its related governmental and business‐type activities. The
unrestricted net position for the Village is $20.7 million, with $12.0 million for governmental
activities and $8.7 million for business‐type activities.

As summarized above, the statement of net position‐beginning is restated to reflect a decrease of
$441 thousand from the prior year ending balance, this change is due to the implementation of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 75, requiring recognition of
additional Other Post‐employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities as of October 1, 2017. The
restatement reflects the total liability of future OPEB obligations, hence the total net position‐
beginning is restated to $69.067 million from $69.508 million, as reflected above.
The statement of activities as presented in comparative fashion, more closely resembles the manner
in which revenue and expenses are programmed for budget purposes and allocated for
departmental and fund use. The statement of net position ending for the Village in fiscal year 2018 is
$73.8 million, the most notable change is within capital contributions due to the one‐time
negotiated development agreement donation of easements appraised at $35 million from the
Consultatio condominium complex added in the prior year as fixed assets. The Village uses these
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, and equipment), to provide services to the citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Charges for services increased by $1.2 million over the prior year, largely due to an increase to
licenses and permit revenue from the Building Department. Year over year, tax revenue increased
due to the completion of the Consultatio condominium complex and its addition to the Village tax
rolls for the first time in fiscal year 2018.
CURRENT YEAR IMPACTS
Village Highlights
The Village concluded fiscal year 2018 well positioned with an 8.4% increase to unrestricted net
position ending at $20.7 million, and an increase of total net position by 6.2% to $73.8 million. During
2018, the Village negotiated the first amendment to the Bal Harbour Shops Development
Agreement which advanced the timeline for developer proffered improvements and contributions
resulting in approval for redevelopment of the entire Business District of the Village. The negotiated
development agreement includes provisions for the planning of a new waterfront park, a new Village
Hall constructed by the developer, and recurring revenue streams from leased property, parking
surcharges, and guarantees for ad valorem revenue in future years. The improvements associated
with the Bal Harbour Shops redevelopment serve to solidify the Village’s property values and
prospective financial position. The addition of the new oceanfront condominium complex added
$810 million in value to the ad valorem tax rolls for 2018, enhancing the Village’s financial position
for future years.
These projects serve as a catalyst for improvements to Village infrastructure, in 2018 we continue
the implementation of the Utility Master Plan with improvements which will serve residents and
visitors for the next 50 years.
Normal Impacts
There are several basic (normal) impacts on revenues and expenses which could affect the Village as
described below:
DRAFT 3/15/19
9
Revenues
Overall Economic Condition. This can reflect a declining, stable or growing economic environment
and has a substantial impact on property, tourism, and other tax revenue as well as redevelopment
efforts made by the development community. The Village is exposed to risks associated with
tourism. Declines in tourism can adversely affect dollars available to the Village for marketing and
parks, roads, and streets. Declines in tourism can result in reduced property values to the Village,
which would result in lower property tax dollars. Likewise, a poor economy can also negatively
impact the Village’s property tax base. The Village has a handful of large properties that could
stagnate or decline under certain economic conditions. The effect on the Village would be
disproportionately leveraged. The Village has continued to experience redevelopment of its largest
oceanfront properties, and plans for the redevelopment of the entire business district are moving
through the approval process, with developer proffered donations of land, a new Village Hall, and
future new revenue streams. Management believes the Village can weather most short‐term
economic scenarios as it did with Hurricane Irma, and the 2016 Zika outbreak. If this current period
of economic growth should cease, the Village provides services and has planned for capital projects
within its current fiscal resources as they are available and does not leverage new debt in order to
accomplish future capital and operating strategic goals.
Increase/Decrease in Council Approved or State‐Mandated Tax Rates and Assessments. The
Village Council can raise or lower its various tax rates and special assessment levels. These rates have
a direct relationship to the Village’s revenue streams. Volatility in tax rates can be detrimental to
business owners and homeowners, making their properties less attractive to own. The Village has a
stable taxation policy. The fiscal year 2018 millage rate of 1.9654 was maintained making it the
fourth year in a row at an ad valorem tax rate which is the third lowest in Miami‐Dade County, and
well below the statutory cap of 10 mills.
Reliance upon Intergovernmental Revenue. The Village received approximately $748 thousand
dollars in recurring revenue from other governments during FY2018. Since the Village does not
directly control the levy or collection of these revenues, it is exposed to the risk that those revenues
will not grow or even be available in future years. The loss of these revenues would likely require the
Village to raise more money through higher local taxing efforts, or implement level of service
adjustments. The Village has the capacity to raise its tax rates to more than offset the loss of these
other governmental revenues.
Undiversified Tourism Tax Base. The Village receives about 50% of its Tourism funding from one
venue. The loss of the venue would significantly and adversely affect the operations of the Village’s
marketing and tourism efforts. The Village’s finances are not totally dependent upon tourism, but
anything that materially affects tourism, such as a severe recession or natural disaster, could
adversely affect the Village’s revenues and put pressure on the Village to levy higher tax rates. When
tourism declines, commercial property values also tend to decline.
Limits on Annual Assessments for Homestead Properties. Florida’s Constitution restricts
residential homestead assessment growth to 3% per year, or less, on each home that has a
homestead exemption. Commercial properties are limited to a maximum 10% annual increase on
their assessment and they are not generally provided any exemptions from assessment. The Village
is overwhelmingly residential in nature, but is fortunate to have a number of residential units that are
not subject to this annual limitation. Further, the value of the homes that are subject to the annual
assessment cap is substantial and the Village does not suffer from a limited tax base growth to the
extent other Florida municipalities might. However, the Village may be exposed to changes in the
manner with which annual assessments are valued or the limit to which they may be taxed, or
additional homestead exemptions granted by the Legislature, but to a lesser degree than most
municipal jurisdictions.
DRAFT 3/15/19
10
Expenses
Public Safety expenses account for about 45% of the Village’s General Fund expenditures. South
Florida municipalities face constant pressure to remain competitive with the salary and benefits paid
to sworn police personnel. The costs of maintaining competitive pay packages could have a growth
rate that exceeds that of the revenue growth rate, resulting in pressure on the Village’s budget.
Additionally, the Village traditionally affords all civilian employees benefits similar in nature to those
provided to Police employees.
The Village provides water and sewer services to its residents and businesses. The Village buys water
and transmits wastewater for further treatment under large‐user agreements with other units of
government. The Village cannot negotiate from a position of strength for these services and is
largely at the mercy of the service provider. Increased operating costs, pass‐through rate increases
from wholesale service providers, combined with the additional debt service expense associated
with capital improvements of our wholesale service providers, make additional rate increases likely
for the foreseeable future.
Solid Waste Disposal – The Village collects money from its property owners through special
assessments to pay for the cost of collection and disposal of solid waste from its residents. The
Village outsourced its solid waste operation, which resulted in a significant savings that will be
reflected in lower assessments for future years. These costs are guaranteed and fixed through the
contract term, which was renewed in 2017 for an additional five years, however beyond that period
of time, additional costs could occur.
Environmental Risks – The Village is located between an intracoastal waterway and the Atlantic
Ocean and is exposed to significant risks caused by weather, particularly hurricanes. In addition to
the potential damage to structures and infrastructure, substantial loss of beach can occur during
hurricanes. Because a significant portion of the Village’s attraction is its beachfront area, the loss of
the beach, even if only temporary, could result in significant loss of revenue to the Village.
Current Year Impacts
Revenues
For the last four fiscal years, The Village has experienced significant impacts to ad valorem revenue
due to Value Adjustment Board (VAB) action resulting from appeals to assessed property values.
VAB action has resulted in a $401 thousand impact to the fiscal year 2017 and a $267 thousand
impact to current year ad valorem taxes in fiscal year 2018, impacts which were offset by a budget
stabilization reserve established to mitigate the effects of the annual VAB adjustments, since we are
required by State Law to budget ad valorem revenue at 95%.
Red light camera revenue was $222 thousand less than budgeted, resulting from the prolonged
removal of three cameras during improvements related to the Consultatio development. Likewise,
parking revenue was $32 thousand less than budgeted, due to construction staging within the
parking lot for Haulover Inlet Bridge improvements. Interest earnings increased due to basis point
increases from the State Board of Administration with an additional $36 thousand in earnings.
Building permit revenue significantly exceeded budgeted expectations at $1.6 million, an additional
$466 thousand more than budgeted, and $734 thousand more than the cost of the proprietary
operation in the current year, it is important to note that the work performed for the permitting
process and construction completion can span multiple fiscal years.
DRAFT 3/15/19

Resort Tax returns outperformed budgeted figures at $3.866 million, exceeding prior year collections
by more than $500 thousand. These returns coincided with the launch of the Village’s new
advertising campaign and promotional efforts. In part, the revenue generated by the resort tax levies
help the Village keep its property tax rates low.
The Security District assessment rate was increased to $2,639.53/single family resident unit, in order
to enhance services to the residents of the area.
Expenses
All of the Village’s General Fund operating departments and activities concluded the fiscal year
within budgeted appropriations, with expenditures less than budgeted, except for legal litigation
expenses. The Village continues to experience increases in existing retirement costs, but has taken
action through the collective bargaining process to reduce those impacts by closing the Police
Officers’ Pension Plan to new participants, and reducing retiree cost of living increases by one‐
percent to new retirees under the Plan, and joining the Florida Retirement System (FRS). All new
police officers hired are now a part of FRS.
At the close of the fiscal year, the net pension liability for the Village is $11.4 million, the annual
required contribution for each year is an actuarial computation which provides a fixed input for
annual expenditures for the General Employees’ Pension Plan that value was $793 thousand, and for
the Police Officers’ Pension Plan that value was $1.38 million. Increases to the actuarial required
contribution for each Village Plan are due to adjusted rate of return assumptions, actual investment
returns, Plan experience, salary increases, and mortality rates.
Other Post‐Employment Benefits (OPEB) refers to the benefits, other than pensions, that state local
government employees are eligible to receive as a part of their retirement benefits. OPEB, which, for
the Village, are limited to healthcare costs, continue to increase. Under state law, the Village is
required to allow its retirees to continue their health care coverage provided the retirees pay the full
premium. This results in an “implied subsidy” to older participants with greater need. The Village
also allows (through a collective bargaining agreement with its police officers) police retirees to
receive a monthly health insurance stipend of $350. An OPEB analysis was completed for 2018
indicating a liability of $1.25 million, this is funded by the Village on a pay‐as‐you‐go basis.
Increases in wholesale water and sewer rates from both Miami‐Dade County, Florida and the City of
Miami Beach, Florida resulted in increased expenses for the purchase of water and sewer service per
1,000/gallons, additional pass‐through rate increases are anticipated in future years. Current
employee and operating expenses and liabilities are allocated to the utility fund for work performed.
Implementation of the Utility Master Plan capital project continued in fiscal year 2018, with the
alternative approach of relining sewer pipes as opposed to excavation and replacement,
reimbursement from Miami‐Dade County General Obligation Bond funds for the sewer portion of
the project will occur in fiscal year 2019 adding an additional $1.9 million to the balance of the Utility
Fund, and completing the drawdown of $6.5 million in funding toward the completion of this capital
project with an anticipated completion date of 2022.
Management curbs expenditures consistent with revenue projections, when trends merit their delay
or abatement.

The unemployment rate for the Miami‐Miami Beach‐Kendall area as of October 2018 was 2.5%, a
2.1% reduction over the prior year. This coupled with the redevelopment plans for the Village’s
Business District and the completion of a new beach front luxury complex, enhanced the economic
outlook for the Village. The property tax millage rate for fiscal year 2018 was maintained at 1.9654
mills per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The Village was able to retain this very low rate, as a result of
increased tax roll value resulting from redevelopment of oceanfront property.

In development of the current year’s budget the Village balanced Florida’s limiting measures on
residential property taxes which allow the exemption of the first $25,000 of assessed values is from
taxation on homestead property. Further, homeowners over age 65 and who have income less than
$20,000 are able to avoid taxes on the next $25,000 of assessed value. Florida’s Constitution also
limits the assessed value on homestead property to a maximum increase of 3% per year, or less if
inflation is less. Commercial property is limited to a maximum 10% increase in assessed value per
year. An additional $25,000 exemption was approved in November of 2018; those impacts were
evaluated for the Village and determined to be nominal in nature. Much of the condominium market
in the Village does not have homestead exemption, and thus enjoys a higher rate of growth. This too
insulates the Village from substantial impacts resulting from future State Legislative proposals.
A recurring challenge for the Village are personnel benefit costs that outpace its tax base growth,
excluding new construction. For this reason, the value added resulting from redevelopment within
the Village is important and permits the Village to retain the third lowest operating millage rate in
the County. The completion of the Oceana Bal Harbour luxury beachfront condominium complex
provided an $810 million increase to assessment roll value, sufficient to offset year‐over year Value
Adjustment Board action to the existing Village tax rolls with an increase of approximately
$1.5 million in ad valorem revenue.
Redevelopment of oceanfront and Business District properties works in conjunction with Village
marketing efforts to increase the value of the Bal Harbour brand and The Bal Harbour Shops, as an
international destination‐shopping venue enhance the tax base of the Village. The Shops is the
Village’s largest commercial taxpayer and the businesses that locate within the Shops tend to have
large retail inventories that are also taxed by the Village. The expansion plans of the Shops,
approved in 2017 will increase the development by an additional 350,000 square feet to total 860,000
square feet. Estimated increased values association with this expansion are appraised at a range of
$193 million to $270 million upon completion, resulting in a significant increase in ad valorem
revenue at any millage rate. Given the present configuration represents more than 5% of ad
valorem revenue, and more than 23% of Resort Tax revenue, and 93% of Business Tax Receipt
revenue; the overall revenue increases will be substantial after project completion. In addition,
the accompanying development agreement provides an estimated benefit in excess of $125 million
to the Village.
Notwithstanding the recently approved expansion to The Shops, the Village’s tax base is heavily
weighted to the residential market and is not very diversified otherwise. This exposes the Village to
the movements of fewer markets that can lead to more volatility in the tax base. This has sometimes
been mitigated by the property tax base growth that can “recapture” limited tax base growth in prior
years. Also, because Bal Harbour residential properties tend to be at the high end of the market,
recoveries have historically been faster than for the residential market as a whole.
Water and sewer rates were increased, to pass‐through increases from our wholesale service
providers, from $4.78/1,000 to $4.88/1,000 gallons of water consumed with a 3,000‐gallon minimum
monthly charge for water and from $8.23/1,000 to $8.38/1,000 gallons of wastewater consumed with
a 3,000‐gallon minimum monthly charge for sewer with further pass‐through rate increases
anticipated in future years. The Village has continued the implementation of the Utility Master Plan
infrastructure project, which when completed in 2022 will result in renewed water, sewer, and
stormwater infrastructure with a 30‐year lifespan.

The Village benefitted from a beach renourishment truck project that widened the beaches
throughout the Village in 2014. In the current year, as a result of Hurricane Irma, the Village is the
recipient of sand resulting from an emergency Army Corps of Engineers dredging project on our
beaches, and through Federal Emergency Management Agency financial assistance are developing a
mitigation plan for the reconstruction and replanting of sea oats to create a more sustainable
beachfront better protected from future storm events. This results in a positive impact on both
tourism taxes and property values for the Village. We continue our efforts to have renourishment
plans included in the County’s long‐term plans to assist the Village in obtaining both County and
State funding for these efforts in the future.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of Bal Harbour Village’s (the Village) significant accounting policies is presented
to assist the reader in interpreting the basic financial statements and other data in this report.
The policies are considered essential and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
basic financial statements.
The financial statements of the Village have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as applied to governmental units.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard‐setting body
for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more
significant of the Village’s accounting policies are described below:
1. Financial Reporting Entity
The Village is a municipal corporation organized under Florida Statutes. The Village, which was
incorporated in August 1946, is located in Miami‐Dade County, Florida. The Village operates
under a Council‐Manager form of government with the Mayor serving as the head of the
government for all purposes and the Village Manager serving as the administrative official. The
Village provides the following services: public safety (police), physical environment (refuse
collection), transportation (maintenance of roads and streets), tourism development, special
security district protection, water and sewer utilities and general administrative services. Fire
protection, education, hospital facilities and welfare services are provided by other units of local
government whose activities are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
2. Government‐Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government‐wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the non‐fiduciary activities of the Village.
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 are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or identifiable activity. Program revenues include charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges
provided by a given function or identifiable activity and 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.

2. Government‐Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
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. The non‐major funds are
presented in one column in the fund financial statements.
3. 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 other than the agency fund which has no measurement
focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as
revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as
revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered available when they
are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose the Village considers all revenues available if they are collected
within 60 days after year‐end. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred as
required by accrual accounting, except for debt service expenditures, compensated absences,
other post‐employment benefits and pension costs, which are recorded when payment is due.
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, if received within the availability 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 Village.

The Village reports the following major governmental funds:
The general fund is the Village’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those accounted for in another fund.
The resort tax special revenue fund is used to account for proceeds of resort tax revenue
sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for tourism development and beach
restoration. Resort taxes are paid monthly by establishments doing business within the
Village based on 4% of their revenues from hotel room rentals and 2% of food and beverage
sales.
The Village also reports the following non‐major government funds:
The security district fund accounts for the special assessments received from the property
owners residing in the special district maintaining the security and common areas within the
special district.
The state law enforcement trust fund accounts for the receipts of state forfeiture monies
received through the participation in law enforcement cases resulting in the forfeiture of
assets awarded by Florida courts. These funds can only be spent for police related activities,
equipment and training and all expenditures are approved by Council.
The federal law enforcement trust fund accounts for the receipts of federal forfeiture
monies received through the participation in law enforcement cases resulting in the
forfeiture of assets awarded by Federal courts. These funds can only be spent for police
related activities, equipment and training and all expenditures are approved by Council.
The Village also reports the following major proprietary fund:
The water and sewer fund is used to account for water and sewer utility operations, which
are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The intent of
the Village is that the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing services to the
general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges.
Additionally, the Village reports the following fund types:
The pension trust funds are used to account for assets held by the Village’s General
Employees’ Pension Trust and the Police Officers’ Pension Trust. The assets of the funds are
restricted to providing retirement and disability benefits to Village employees.

(Continued)
The pending forfeitures fund is an agency fund used to account for the receipts of federal and
state forfeiture monies received through the participation in law enforcement cases resulting in
the forfeiture of assets to the federal or state government. Money deposited in this fund and
earnings on those deposits are not considered property of the Village until awarded to the
Village by an order of the court.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government‐wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Village’s water and
sewer function and various other functions of the Village. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues in the government‐wide financial statements 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 non‐operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the Village’s enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales
and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses and depreciation of capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as non‐operating revenues and expenses.
In fiscal year 2018, the Village adopted four new statements of financial accounting standards
issued by the GASB:
Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans
Other Than Pensions
Statement No. 85, Omnibus 2017
Statement No. 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues
Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction
Period
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans
Other Than Pensions, improved the accounting and financial reporting by state and local
governments for postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment
benefits or OPEB). The adoption of GASB Statement No. 75 is reflected in the government‐
wide financial statements and further discussed in Note 9, Note 12 and the Required
Supplementary Information Section. The implementation of this statement resulted in a
restatement of net position as disclosed in Note 12.

GASB Statement No. 85, Omnibus 2017, addressed practice issues that were identified during
implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. The adoption resulted in no
financial impact to the Village.
GASB Statement No. 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues, improved the consistency in
accounting and financial reporting for in‐substance defeasance of debt. The Statement also
improved accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt that is extinguished
and notes to financial statements for debt that is defeased in‐substance. The adoption
resulted in no financial impact to the Village.
GASB Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction
Period, enhanced the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the
cost of borrowing for a reporting period and simplifies accounting for interest cost incurred
before the end of a construction period. The adoption resulted in the Village not capitalizing
any interest cost in current year and going forward.
4. Deposits and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash and short‐term investments with original
maturities of three months or less. The Village’s cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand
and investments with the Florida PRIME administered by the State Board of Administration.
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, requires that investments be
categorized according to the fair value hierarchy established by this Statement. The hierarchy is
based on valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable
inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
Investments are reported at fair value which is the amount a financial instrument could be
exchanged for in a current transaction between willing parties at the measurement date.
Investments with Florida PRIME are recorded at amortized costs.
5. Receivables
Receivables include amounts due from other governments and others for services provided by
the Village. Receivables are recorded and revenues are recognized as earned or as specific
expenditures/expenses are incurred. Allowances for uncollectible receivables are based upon
historical trends and the periodic aging of receivables.
6. Prepaids
Payments to vendors that reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as
prepaids in the financial statements.

7. Restricted Assets
The Village reports customer water and sewer deposits as restricted assets. Unspent proceeds
of the Village’s bond issue are restricted as to use and therefore are also recorded as restricted
assets.
8. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangible (e.g., easement) and
infrastructure assets (e.g., sidewalks and other similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business‐type activities columns in the government‐wide financial statements
and in the Proprietary Fund. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $25,000 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 acquisition 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 assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and
improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed or as they are otherwise acquired.
Capital assets of the Village are depreciated using the straight‐line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 30
Improvements other than buildings 30
Public domain infrastructure 25-60
Water/sewer system 25-60
Furniture, fixtures and equipment and software 3-20
Intangible assets consist of computer software, rights of way and easements.
9. Compensated Absences
It is the Village’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned, but unused vacation pay
and comp‐time benefits. Both are accrued when incurred in the government‐wide and
proprietary funds and reported as a liability. Compensated absences are reported in
governmental funds only if they have matured.

10. Long‐Term Obligations
In the government‐wide financial statements, and in the proprietary fund type in the fund
financial statements, long‐term debt and other long‐term obligations are reported as liabilities
in the applicable governmental activities, business‐type activities or proprietary fund type
statement of net position. Issuance costs are expensed in the year of issuance, except for
prepaid bond insurance costs.
11. Pensions
For the purposes of measuring the net pension liability, net pension asset, deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Village’s Pension Plans (the Plans) and
additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported by the Plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including
refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
12. Other Post‐employment Benefits (OPEB)
The total OPEB liability, OPEB expense and deferred outflows and inflows of resources related
to OPEB are measured and presented in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement
No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Post‐Employment Benefits Other Than
Pensions.
13. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The Statement of Net Position includes a separate section for Deferred Outflows of Resources.
This represents the usage of net position applicable to future periods and will be recognized as
expenditures in the future period to which it applies. Currently, there is only deferred outflows
related to pensions and other post‐employment benefits (OPEB) in the category.
The Statement of Net Position also includes a separate section for Deferred Inflows of
Resources. This represents the acquisition of net position applicable to future periods and will
be recognized as revenue in the future period to which it applies. Currently, there is only
deferred inflows related to pensions in this category.
14. Fund Balance
The Village reports the following classifications:
Non‐spendable fund balance. Non‐spendable fund balances are amounts that are: (a) not in
spendable form; or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
DRAFT 3/15/19
BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE, FLORIDA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
32
14. Fund Balance (Continued)
Restricted fund balance. Restricted fund balances are amounts that can be spent only for
specific purposes stipulated by: (a) external resource providers such as creditors (by debt
covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b)
imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance. These amounts can only be used for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action (Ordinance and Resolution have the same authority) of the
Village Council, the Village’s highest level of decision making authority. Commitments may
be changed or lifted only by the Village Council taking the same formal action (Ordinance
and Resolution) that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned fund balance. Assigned fund balances are amounts that are constrained by the
Village’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed.
Intent is established by the Village Manager to which the Council has delegated the
authority to assign, modify or rescind amounts to be used for specific purposes. This balance
includes: (a) all remaining amounts that are reported in governmental funds (other than the
General Fund) that are not classified as non‐spendable, restricted or committed; and (b)
amounts in the General Fund that are intended to be used for a specific purpose.
Specific amounts that are not restricted or committed in a special revenue fund are assigned
for specific purposes in accordance with the nature of their fund type. Assignment within the
General Fund conveys that the intended use of those amounts is for a specific purpose that
is narrower than the general purposes of the Village itself.
Unassigned fund balance. This fund balance is the residual classification for the General
Fund. It is also used to report negative fund balances in other governmental funds.
The Village adopted a formal Fund Balance Policy that provided for definitions and
classifications of fund balance. The policy also provides for certain non‐spendable fund balance,
restricted, committed, and assigned categories. Of particular note is the assigned fund balance
for the Village’s excess benefit plan and other postemployment benefits of $1.6 million and
$1.2 million, respectively, in the General Fund; and $3.0 million for future capital projects. A
requirement to maintain a minimum unassigned General Fund balance of 33% of the
subsequent year’s General Fund budgeted expenditures exits, and the Village exceeded that
goal with $15.247 million or 92% of the General Fund fiscal year 2018 budgeted expenditures.
15. Net Position
The net position of the government‐wide and the proprietary fund are categorized as net
investment in capital assets, restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets is that
portion of net position that relates to the Village’s capital assets reduced by accumulated
depreciation and any associated debt used to acquire or construct those capital assets.

BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE, FLORIDA

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
15. Net Position (Continued)
Restricted net position is that portion of net position that has been restricted for general use by
external parties (creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments)
or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted net
position consists of all net positions that do not meet the definition of either of the other two
components.
Sometimes the Village will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance). In order
to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund
balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about
the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Village’s policy to
consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of
unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be
used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund
balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
16. Use of Estimates
The financial statements and related disclosures are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets/deferred outflows of
resources and liabilities/deferred inflows of resources, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the period
reported. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events
and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
17. Excess of Expenditures Over Budgeted Appropriations
The following funds/departments’ actual expenditures exceeded budgeted appropriations as
presented below:

NOTE 2. PROPERTY TAXES
Under Florida Law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all county, municipal
and school board property taxes are consolidated in the offices of the County Property
Appraiser and County Tax Collector. The laws of the State regulating tax assessments are also
designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. State statutes permit
municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10.0 mils. The fiscal year 2018 millage
rate assessed by the Village was 1.9654 mills.
The tax levy of the Village is established by the Village Council prior to October 1 each year, and
the County Property Appraiser incorporates the millage into the total tax levy, which includes
Miami‐Dade County, Miami‐Dade County School Board and special taxing districts.
All property is reassessed according to its fair value as of January 1 each year. Each assessment
roll is submitted to the Executive Director of the State Department of Revenue for review to
determine if the rolls meet all of the appropriate requirements of State statutes.
All real and tangible personal property taxes are due and payable on November 1 each year or
as soon as practicable thereafter as the assessment roll is certified by the County Property
Appraiser. Miami‐Dade County mails to each property owner on the assessment roll a notice of
the taxes due and Miami‐Dade County also collects the taxes for the Village. Taxes may be paid
upon receipt of such notice from Miami‐Dade County, with discounts at the rate of 4% if paid in
the month of November, 3% if paid in the month of December, 2% if paid in the month of
January and 1% if paid in the month of February. Taxes paid during the month of March are
without discount, and all unpaid taxes on real and tangible personal property become
delinquent, on April 1 of the year following the year in which taxes were assessed. Procedures
for the collection of delinquent taxes by Miami‐Dade County are provided for in the laws of
Florida. There were no material delinquent property taxes as of September 30, 2018, however
the Village continues to experience the effects of the Value Adjustment Board’s action on
appealing assessment values, which directly impacts the collection of budgeted property tax
revenue.

Deposits
In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, all deposits
are held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of Florida to hold
public funds. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, the
State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or
another banking institution eligible collateral. In the event of a failure of a qualified public
depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting
losses. Accordingly, all amounts reported as deposits are deemed as insured or collateralized.
Investments – Other Than Pension Funds
Village administration is authorized to invest in those instruments authorized by the Florida
statutes, including the Florida PRIME administered by the Florida State Board of
Administration (State Treasurer’s Investment Pool).
The State Board of Administration (SBA) administers the Florida PRIME, which is governed by
Chapter 19‐7 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 218 and 215 of the Florida
Statutes. These rules provide guidance and establish the policies and general operating
procedures for the administration of the Florida PRIME. The Florida PRIME is not a registrant
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however, the SBA has adopted operating
procedures which permits the use of money market funds in order to maintain a constant net
asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. The fair value of the position in the Florida PRIME is equal to
the value of the pool shares. The Florida PRIME pool is operating in a manner consistent with
SEC rules of 2a‐7 funds. The investments in Florida PRIME are not insured by FDIC or any other
governmental agency.
As of September 30, 2018, the Village’ investment in the Florida Prime is recorded at amortized
cost.
Investment Balance
Florida PRIME 11,637,997 $
Note: Florida PRIME is included as cash equivalents in the financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
The dollar weighted average days to maturity (WAM) of the Florida PRIME at September 30,
2018, was managed at 51‐days or less, with a goal of 60‐days or less. Next interest rate reset
dates for floating rate securities are used in the calculation of the WAM. These dates may be
different than the ultimate rate reset dates. When the ultimate maturity date is used, a far
different WAM may exist. The pool’s guidelines allow for the purchase of only money‐market
assets at least 50% rated ‘A‐1+’ by Standard & Poor’s and no more than 50% rated ‘A‐1’, such as
U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency obligations, corporate obligations including commercial paper
and asset backed commercial paper; municipal securities; bank obligations; and money‐market
mutual funds.

Florida PRIME administered by the Florida State Board of Administration (State Treasurer’s
Investment Pool). The Florida PRIME is rated by Standard and Poor’s as AAAm as of fiscal year
end.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Village structures its investment mix in a manner to control the risk of loss resulting from
concentration of assets to a specific maturity, instrument, issue, dealer, or bank through which
these securities are bought and sold. As of September 30, 2018, the value of each position held
in any one issuer within the Village’s portfolio is less than 5% of total investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk 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 that are in the possession of
an outside party. The Village requires that investments being held by a third‐party custodian be
properly designated as an asset of the Village and be held in the Village’s name.
Investments – General Employees’ Pension Plan
Policy
The Plan maintains a master custodial agreement whereby the investment securities are held in
the plan’s name by a financial institution acting as the Plan’s agent.
The Board of Trustees of the Bal Harbour Village Employees’ Pension Plan & Trust (the Plan)
adopted an amended Investment Policy effective January 1, 2008. Concurrently with this
amended investment policy, the Board of Trustees elected to discontinue active management
of a portfolio of investments, based upon the advice of its investment monitor and advisor. The
Board of Trustees, in keeping with its consultant’s recommendation, has opted to invest in
index funds, as provided for in the investment policy. The policy defines the scope of control of
the Board, the investment objectives, performance measurements, investment and fiduciary
standards, authorized investments, maturity and liquidity requirements, portfolio composition,
risk and diversification, target asset mixes, expected annual rates of return and other
investment requirements.

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The current investment policy limits investments to

The following brief descriptions of the Retirement Plans are provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Plans’ financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Employee
contributions are recognized as revenues in the period in which the contributions are due.
Village contributions are recognized as revenue when due pursuant to the actuarial valuation.
Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Plans. Interest and other income are recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded as of
the ex‐dividend date.
For the purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources,
deferred inflows of resources, pension expense, and information about the fiduciary net
position of the Plans and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have
been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plans.
Plan Descriptions
The Village, as a single employer, maintains two Public Employee Retirement Systems (PERS)
defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all full‐time employees and an unfunded
excess benefits plan. On October 1, 1955, the Village established the Bal Harbour Village
Employees’ Pension Trust (General Employees’ Plan). During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2000, the police officers of the Village elected to form their own plan (Police
Plan) in order to continue receiving Section 185 monies from the State of Florida. The Police
Officers’ Pension Plan was effectively closed October 1, 2016, all full time officers sworn in after
that date are members of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). To fund benefits owed by
employment contracts that cannot be funded through either defined benefit plan, the Village
also established the Bal Harbour Village Excess Benefit Plan (Excess Benefit Plan) in year 2009.
The pension plans are considered to be part of the Village’s financial reporting entity and are
included in the Village’s financial statements as pension trust funds. The Bal Harbour Police
Officers’ Pension Trust (Police Plan) issues a publicly available financial report that includes the
financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by
writing to the Plan Administrator or calling (954) 723‐9521.

The Police Plan received a favorable IRS Determination as of April 20, 2016, and subsequently
on September 18, 2016, the General Employees’ Plan received the same. This indicates that
both Plans are designed and are currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
sections of the Internal Revenue Code. On October 1, 2016, a new bargaining agreement was
reached with the PBA, reducing the annual cost of living adjustment to 1.5% for future retirees.
The Excess Benefit Plan is a qualified governmental excess benefit plan established in
accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of this Plan is to
provide retirement benefits to employees covered by either or both of the Village’s defined
benefit plans whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC §415.
Plan membership consisted of the following. The latest actuarial valuation date for the General
Employees’ Plan and Police Plan is October 1, 2016, and the latest actuarial valuation date is

Deferred Retirement Option Program
The Plan has a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) for participants who are eligible to
receive normal retirement. Eligible members may apply to participate by applying to the Board.
Upon a member’s election to participate in the DROP, that member shall be considered retired.
Monthly retirement benefits that would have been payable had the member retired without
electing the DROP will be paid into the DROP and credited to the retired member who may not
receive any of these amounts until they actually sever employment with the Village. Upon
separation from service with the Village, the entire DROP balance is made to or for the benefit
of the participant as a lump sum distribution. Payments into the DROP will earn the same
return as earned by the remainder of the Plan assets or a fixed rate of 4% at the option of the
participant. This option can be changed every year prior to December 1st for the following
calendar year. If they do not make a choice, the default option is the fixed rate of 4%.
At September 30, 2018, there were 6 members who were enrolled under the DROP. The total

Police Plan
The Police Plan was established to account for the pension for the Village’s police officers. The
Plan is considered part of the Village’s financial reporting entity and is included in the Village’s
financial statements as a pension trust fund. Benefit and contribution provisions are established
by Village ordinance and may be amended only by the Board of Trustees, subject to approval of
the Village Council. The Plan was available to full‐time sworn Police Officers from date of
employment, including probationary period. Participation was mandatory as a condition of
employment, except for the Police Chief, who may opt out. The Police Officers’ Pension Plan
was effectively closed October 1, 2016, all full time officers sworn in after that date are
members of the Florida Retirement System.
The Plan is administered by a Board of Trustees comprised of:
a. Two Village residents appointed by the Village Council.
b. Two Police Officers elected by a majority of Police Officers.
c. A fifth member elected by the Board and appointed (as a ministerial duty) by the Village
Council.
The benefit provisions and all other requirements of the Plan are established by Ordinance No.
474, as amended, and are summarized as follows:
Contributions and Funding Policy
Employees contribute 10% of their compensation. The Village is required to contribute the
amount in excess of employee contributions to pay the annual pension cost. The Village
Council, through establishment or modification of enabling legislation, establishes the required
employee contribution. The required employer contribution, which is a percentage of annual
covered payroll and includes amounts contributed by the State pursuant to Chapter 175, Florida
Statutes, is actuarially determined as of October 1st of each year. The annual required
employer contribution for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, was determined based on
the October 1, 2016 actuarial valuation and was 52.15% of non‐DROP covered payroll.
If any employee leaves covered employment or dies before ten years of credited service,
accumulated employee contributions are refunded to the employee or the designated
beneficiary.

Rate of Return
For the year ended September 30, 2018, the annual money‐weighted rate of return on pension
investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 9.99%.
The money‐weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment
expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested. Inputs to the dollar‐weighted
rate of return calculation are determined on a monthly basis.
Deferred Retirement Option Program
On April 13, 2007, the Plan amended the DROP for participants who are eligible to receive
normal retirement. Eligible members may apply to participate by applying to the Board.
Upon a member’s election to participate in the DROP, that member shall cease to be a member
of the Bal Harbour Village Police Officers’ Pension Plan and shall be precluded from any
additional benefits under the Plan; accordingly, that member shall be considered retired.
Monthly retirement benefits that would have been payable had the member retired and elected
to receive monthly pension payments will be paid into the DROP and credited to the retired
member. Payments in the DROP are made monthly for the period the retired member
participates in the DROP, up to a maximum of 60 months, an increase from prior maximum of
36 months. Payments into the DROP will earn the same return as earned by the remainder of
the Plan assets. Employees also now have the option to select from either the rate of return of
the portfolio or a fixed 4%. This can be changed every year prior to December 1 for the
following calendar year. If they do not make a choice, the default is 4%. Upon termination of
employment, participants in the DROP will receive the balance of their account either in a lump
sum distribution or in any other form of payment selected by the participant, approved by the
Board and conforming to applicable laws.
At September 30, 2018, there was 1 participant enrolled under the DROP. The DROP balance as
of September 30, 2018 is $82,977. The DROP investment assets are included in the total
investment balance presented on the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position.

Benefits are fully vested immediately upon entry into the Plan.
Eligibility for Participation
Based upon employment contract language and participation in either or both defined benefit
plans.
Eligibility for Benefits Under the Plan
A participant shall receive a benefit equal to the difference between the retirement allowance
otherwise payable from either or both defined benefit plans prior to any reduction or limitation
required by IRC §415 and the actual retirement allowance payable as limited by IRC §415. The
benefit shall be subject to withholding for applicable state and federal taxes. The benefit shall
be paid in accordance with the retirement payment option selected by the participant or
beneficiary for the retirement otherwise payable by either or both defined benefit plans.
Funding Policy
To be qualified under IRC §415, Excess Benefits Plans, the Village cannot advance fund any
benefit currently payable under the Plan and any assets held by the Plan during any year can
only be used to pay for benefits coming due during the year or for expenses of the Plan during
the year. Contributions by the Village are not allowed to accumulate from year‐to‐year for
purposes of advance funding of any of the Plan’s liabilities. Any assets, including all property
rights and beneficial interests of the Plan remain the general, unpledged and unrestricted
assets of the Plan and the Village. The interests of participants and their beneficiaries of the
Plan are not senior to the claims of unsecured creditors of the Plan or the Village. The Village
cannot restrict any assets, including cash, for the purpose of providing funding for these
benefits. However, the Village has designated a portion of its General Fund’s fund balance for
the purpose of noting its intent to fund the benefits payable under the Plan. The Village has
sufficient financial assets at September 30, 2018, to pay the benefits payable under the Plan.

Long‐Term Expected Rate of Return – The long‐term expected rate of return on pension plans
investments were determined using a building‐block method in which best‐estimate ranges of
expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense
and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce
the long‐term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of
arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target
asset allocation are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate: A single discount rate of 8.00% and 6.25% were used to measure the total
pension liability for the police and employee pension trust plans, respectively. This single
discount rates were based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 8.00%
and 6.25%, respectively. The projection of cash flows used to determine each single discount
rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and
that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the total
actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions,
the fiduciary net position of the plans were projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long‐term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability for each plan.
The discount rate used to measure the excess benefit plan total pension liability was 3.83%. In
general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single rate
equivalent to discounting at the long‐term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to
the projected depletion date. Because the excess benefit plan is essentially funded on a pay‐as‐
you‐go basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent
discount rate is equal to the Long‐Term Municipal Bond Rate selected by the Village. The
Fidelity Bond Index, general obligation, 20 years to maturity, mixed quality was adopted as the
applicable municipal bond index rate.
Sensitivity of the discount rate: Regarding the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes
in the single discount rate for each plan, the following presents each plan’s net pension liability,
calculated using a single discount rate, as well as what each plan’s net pension liability would be
if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is one percentage point lower or one
percentage point higher than the current rate assumption.

Pension Plans Administered by the State of Florida
The Village provides retirement benefits to sworn police officers hired after October 1, 2016
through the Florida Retirement System (FRS) and the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS)
Plan.
FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM
The Village participates in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), which was created in Chapter
121, Florida Statutes, to provide a defined benefit pension plan for participating public
employees. The FRS was amended in 1998 to add the Deferred Retirement Option Program
(DROP) under the defined benefit plan and amended in 2000 to provide a defined contribution
plan alternative to the defined benefit plan for FRS members effective July 1, 2002. This
integrated defined contribution pension plan is the FRS Investment Plan. Chapter 112, Florida
Statutes, established the Health Insurance Subsidy Program, a cost‐sharing multiple‐employer
defined benefit pension plan, for retired members of any state‐administered retirement system
in paying the costs of health insurance.

The FRS is a single retirement system administered by the Florida Department of Management
Services, Division of Retirement and consists of the two cost‐sharing, multiple‐employer
defined benefit plans and other nonintegrated programs.
The Village’s pension expense for FRS totaled $46,336 for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2018.
A comprehensive annual financial report of the FRS, which includes its financial statements,
required supplementary information, actuarial report, and other relevant information, is
available from the Florida Department of Management Services’ website
(www.dms.myflorida.com).
Plan Description
The FRS is a cost‐sharing multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan, with a DROP for
eligible employees. The general classes of membership are as follows:
Regular Class – Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the
other classes.
Elected County Officers Class – Members who hold specified elective offices in
local government.
Senior Management Service Class (SMSC) – Members in senior management
level positions.
Special Risk Class – Members who are employed as law enforcement officers and
meet the criteria to qualify for this class.
All members enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, once vested, are eligible for normal
retirement benefits at age 65 or any time after 33 years of creditable service (except for
members classified as special risk who are eligible for normal retirement benefits at age 60 or
at any age after 30 years of service). Members of the FRS may include up to four years of
credit for military service toward creditable service.
The FRS also includes an early retirement provision; however, there is a benefit reduction for
each year a member retires before his or her normal retirement date. The FRS provides
retirement, disability, death benefits, and annual cost‐of‐living adjustments to eligible
participants.

NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
The deferred retirement option program (DROP), subject to provisions of Section 121.091,
Florida Statutes, permits employees eligible for normal retirement under the FRS to defer
receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with an FRS employer. An
employee may participate in the DROP for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to
participate, except that certain instructional personnel may participate for up to 96 months.
During the period of DROP participation, deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust
Fund and accrue interest. The net pension liability does not include amounts for DROP
participants, as these members are considered retired and are not accruing additional pension
benefits.
FRS Retirement Benefits and Contributions
Benefits under the FRS are computed on the basis of age and/or years of service, average final
compensation, and service credit. Credit for each year of service is expressed as a percentage of
the average final compensation. For members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the
average final compensation is the average of the eight highest fiscal years’ earnings. The total
percentage value of the benefit received is determined by calculating the total value of all
service, based on the retirement class to which the member belonged when the service credit
was earned. Members are eligible for in‐line‐of‐duty or regular disability and survivors’ benefits.
The following chart shows the percentage value for each year of service credit earned:

Inflation 2.60%
Salary Increases 3.25% average, including inflation
Investment Rate of Return 7.00%, net of pension plan investment expense,

The deferred outflows of resources totaling $991, resulting from the Village’s contributions to
the HIS Plan subsequent to the measurement date, will be recognized as a reduction of the net
pension liability in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Other amounts reported as

Actuarial Assumptions
The HIS plan’s actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions as
of July 1, 2018, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.60%
Salary Increases, average including inflation 3.25%
Municipal Bond Rates – Investment Rate of Return 3.87%
Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP‐2000 with Projection Scale BB tables.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2018, valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the HIS Plan
was 3.87%. In general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the
single rate equivalent to discounting at the long‐term expected rate of return for benefit
payments prior to the projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded
on a pay‐as‐you‐go basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single
equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond rate selected by the HIS Plan sponsor.
The Bond Buyer General Obligation 20‐Bond Municipal Bond Index was adopted as the
applicable municipal bond index.

Plan Description
The Village provides health insurance benefits to its retired employees through a single‐employer
plan that is administered by the Village. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 112.0801, Florida
Statutes, former employees who retire from the Village and eligible dependents, may continue to
participate in the Village’s fully‐insured benefit plan for medical and prescription drug insurance
coverage. The Village subsidizes the premium rates paid by retirees by allowing them to
participate in the plan at reduced or blended group (implicitly subsidized) premium rates for both
active and retired employees. These rates provide an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an
actuarial basis, their current and future claims are expected to result in higher costs to the plan on
average than those of active employees. The benefits provided under this defined benefit plan are
provided for a retiree’s lifetime (or until such time at which the retiree discontinues coverage
under the Village sponsored plans, if earlier). Additionally, and as provided by a collective
bargaining agreement, eligible retired sworn police officers from the Village receive a health
stipend of $350 per month until age of 65 which can be used to pay for health insurance at the
Village or outside. Retirees are required to enroll in the Federal Medicare program for their
primary coverage as soon as they are eligible. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the
Village if Florida law changes or if collective bargaining agreements are amended.
Funding Policy
Currently, the Village’s Other Post‐Employment Benefits (OPEB) are unfunded. That is, the
Village Council has not established a separate trust fund or equivalent arrangement to advance‐
fund the obligation, presently the obligation is funded on a pay as you go basis. For the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2018, the Village provided required contributions of $51,268 toward the
annual OPEB cost, in the form of age adjusted premiums paid on behalf of retirees for the fully
insured benefits and health stipend. If the Plan is amended or terminated by the Village because
of Florida law changes, amendments to collective bargaining agreements, or other reasons, the
Village may amend its funding system or its benefits. The funding percentage for each employee
is 100% of the implied subsidy or 100% of the $350 stipend, as applicable.
Employees Covered by benefit terms. As of October 1, 2017, employee membership data related
to the Plan is as follows:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments 11
Active employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefit payments 49

Total OPEB Liability
The Village’s total OPEB liability was measured as of September 30, 2017.
Actuarial assumptions. The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
September 30, 2017, using the following assumptions, applied to all prior periods included in the
measurement:
Inflation rate 2.50%
Salary increases 6.00%
Discount rate 3.50%
Healthcare cost trend rates:
Select rates 7.50% for 2018, 7.00% for FY 19 and then
decreasing to the ultimate trend rate of 4.50% per
annum
Mortality rates were based on the RP‐2000 Generational Combined Healthy Participant Mortality
Table using Scale AA.
Discount rate. For OPEB plans that do not have assets, the discount rate should equal the tax‐
exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20‐year general obligation bonds with an
average AA credit rating as of the measurement date. For the purpose of this valuation, the
municipal bond rate is 3.5%.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
In the normal course of business, the Village may be involved in pending or threatened litigation,
claims or assessments. The Village’s administration, the Village Council and legal counsel
anticipate that any claims not covered by insurance or limited by state statute would not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Village.
Operating Leases
In fiscal year 2010, the Village entered into a 7‐year operating lease for office space for the police
department at the Bal Harbour Shops, the lease required monthly payments of $4,863, or $58,363
annually with no escalation clauses. In March of 2017, the Village extended the lease through to
March of 2018 with payments of $51,080 annually. The final development agreement executed in
July 2017 with the Bal Harbour Shops provided a second modification to the lease. The second
modification provides for an extension of the existing lease to the VIllage, until 90 days after
conveyance of the new Village Hall to the Village. The First Amendment to the Development
Agreement for the Bal Harbour Shops Expansion was adopted by Village Council December 18,
2018, this included a provision which ceased the payment of rent to the Shops until the
completion of a new Village Hall to house the Police Department and Village operations.
Grants
Grant monies received and disbursed by the Village for specific purposes may be subject to audit
by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursements due to disallowed
expenditures or other actions by grantor agencies. The Village does not believe that such
disallowances or other actions taken by the grantor agencies, if any, would have a material effect
on the financial position of the Village.
NOTE 11. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets, errors and omissions, and natural disasters for which the Village carries commercial
insurance. There were no reductions in insurance coverages from coverages in the prior year and
there were no settlements that exceeded insurance coverages for each of the past three years.

NOTE TO BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULES
NOTE 1. BUDGET AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The Village legally adopts an annual budget for each of its funds, except for the State Law
Enforcement Trust Fund and the Federal Law Enforcement Trust Fund. Of the major funds
presented in a budget‐to‐actual format, only the general and resort tax special revenue funds
have adopted budgets. The budgets are prepared on a basis consistent with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Village Manager may make
transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments and between funds require the approval of the Village Council. Therefore, the
legal level of control for the general fund is at the department or activity level.
The Village follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements.
a) During July, the Village Manager submits to the Village Council a proposed operating and
capital budget for the fiscal year beginning the following October 1st. The budget includes
proposed revenues and expenditures with an explanation regarding each expenditure that
is not of a routine nature.
b) Two public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer and citizen comments.
c) Prior to September 30th, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance or
resolution.
d) At the request of the Village Manager, the Council may, by resolution, transfer any
unencumbered appropriation balance from one activity or department to another. This
typically occurs as a mid‐year budget amendment or end of year budget amendment.
e) Budgeted amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements are as originally
adopted and as amended.

Notes:
1. The ten properties with the highest assessed values comprise 82.35% of the total taxable value for the Village as a whole.
2. 43.24% of the percent of total taxable value for 2018, is within 2 of the 10 highest taxable value.
3. Properties ranked #1, #2 and #10 did not exist 10 years ago, this indicates significant assessed value growth due to
oceanfront development within the Village, as these properties comprise just over half of the top 10 value for the Village.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
Financial Statements Performed In Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Village Council
Bal Harbour Village, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining information of Bal
Harbour Village, Florida (the Village) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated ________, 2019. Our report includes an emphasis of matter
paragraph for the adoption of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 75, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
DRAFT 3/15/19
118
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Criteria: Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
Prior Year’s Condition: We noted that management does not have formalized policies, procedures, and
a system in place to allow for the periodic preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Current Year’s Condition: In the current year during the course of the audit, client prepared post-closing
accounting adjustments were required to be made to the financial statements to properly report the year
end balances.
Cause: See condition above.
Effect: Management may not be able to produce accurate financial statements on a periodic basis for
use by those charged with governance, who rely on the financial statements to assess and plan for the
ongoing operations of the Village.
Recommendation: We recommend that management implement formal policies, procedures, and a
system to allow for the periodic preparation of financial statements in accordance GAAP.
Prior Year Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: FY 2017 marks a
significant improvement in closing the year as compared to FY 2016, this was accomplished through a
concerted effort by management in all departments to submit invoices for timely processing at year end.
We will further reduce the number of subsequent accounts payable invoices and late recording of
transactions with the closing of FY 2018. The Village will continue to make every effort to ensure all
material transactions are captured at the close of the fiscal year. FY 2017 subsequent accounts payable
disbursements (those processed more than 60-days after the year end) totaled four (4) after November,
with two (2) in December and two (2) in January. One of these invoices was held due a contractual
dispute, the remaining three (3) are not for routine services with an average a value of $472 each. As
compared to FY 2016 subsequent accounts payable disbursements of twenty-four (24) after November,
with four (4) transactions posting through April. The average value of these transactions were $24,779
each. Journal entries for FY 2017 posted after November total twenty-five (25), as compared to fifty (50)
after November for FY 2016, many of these entries are related to revenue accruals, which will persist in
prior years, and capital lease and asset adjustments which should be fewer in 2018. The Village does
have a formal policy establishing year end closing procedures, and the processing of invoices.
Current Year Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Closing entries were
decreased by a third compared to the prior year, indicating continued year over year improvement, with
post-closing accounts payable disbursements totaling $23,000 as opposed to $73,000 in the previous

year. The Village maintains a formal policy establishing year end closing procedures, and has developed
check lists based upon each years’ experience to minimize post-closing adjustments.
