j

March 17, 2003 The City of Leesburg is situated between Lake Harris and Lake Griffin. The City was originally a part of* Sumter County and served as the County seat until 1882 when the Florida Legislature created Lake County.

The City has been a part of Lake County since then and is the oldest and highest populated of the fourteen (14) incorporated municipalities in Lake County.

The estimated April 1, 2002 population of 16,104 residents ranks the City of Leesburg as the 105 h largest of Florida's 405 municipalities (the incorporated cities, towns and villages). In addition to Leesburg, the other thirteen incorporated municipalities located within Lake County are Astatula, Clermont, Eustis, Fruitland Park, Groveland, Howey-in-the-Hills, Lady Lake, Mascotte, Minneola, Montverde, Mount Dora, Tavares and Umatilla.

The City of Leesburg is located in north central Florida midway between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic

Ocean, approximately 200 miles southeast of the State
Capitol, Tallahassee, 80 miles northeast of Tampa, 40 miles northwest of Orlando and 70 miles southwest of Daytona Beach. The City is bisected by State Road 44, US Highway 27, and US Highway 441.

Leesburg's location is depicted on the map below.

The major factors in the economy of the City of Leesburg and the surrounding areas are recreation and tourism.

The Leesburg Industrial Park is located on SR 44 and is occupied by several industrial and commercial enterprises.

Government Structure The City of Leesburg is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. As such, it is governed by and derives its operating authority from the constitution and laws of the State of Florida. -

The City operates under a

commission/manager form of government, with a governing board consisting of five City Commissioners, elected to staggered three-year terms. Three of the commission members must meet district residency requirements.

The remaining two commissioners are elected at-large without a district residency requirement.

The Financial Reporting Entity and Its Services This report contains all of the funds and account groups of the City of Leesburg, as well as component units which are required to be included pursuant to the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 14.

Statement 14 generally requires inclusion within the financial statements of organizations for which the City is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City is such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

1<

Based on the application of the foregoing criteria, the Greater Leesburg Community Redevelopment Agency is included as a blended component unit of the City.

2

-j March 17, 2003 After a detailed review of the criteria set forth in Govemmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 14 (the Financial Reporting Entity),

the following

boards, authorities, agencies, and districts have been excluded from the financial reporting entity:

North Lake County Hospital District Leesburg Regional Medical Center The City provides a full range of governmental services contemplated by state law and local ordinance, including police and fire protection, storm water drainage, the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure,

library, recreational activities, cultural
events, planning, zoning, housing, and administrative services. In addition to general govemment activities, the City also provides a full range of utility services, including electric, natural gas, solid waste, communication services (which includes internet service provider),

water and wastewater treatment.

Accounting System and Budgetary Control In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of intemal accounting controls.

Intemal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not

absolute, assurance regarding:

(1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and (2) the reliability of financial records used in preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets.

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 evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

All intemal control evaluations occur within the above framework to adequately safeguard assets, and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.

Formal budgetary integration is used as a management control device during the year for all govemmental funds of the City.

During fiscal year 1997-98, the City adopted a budget policy which establishes budgetary control (i.e. the level at which expenditures cannot exceed the appropriated amount) at the fund level. Budgets for all govemmental fund types are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget adopted by the City Commission.

The City's accounting system is organized and operated on a "fund" basis, which is the basic fiscal and accounting entity in govemmental accounting.

Each fund is classified by category and fund type.

For descriptions of the City's fund types, account groups and a summary of significant accounting policies, see the notes to the financial statements.

For a description of individual

funds, see the combining statements.

An abbreviated summary of the classes of funds is outlined below:

Governmental Funds In Govemmental Funds, measurement focus is based on a determination of the financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income determination. These funds are maintained on the modified accrual basis of accounting, where revenues and other financial resource increments are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period.

Basic financial statements necessary to fairly present financial position and operating results for these funds are the balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance.

3

March 17, 2003 Proprietary Funds The Proprietary Funds (the Enterprise Funds and the Internal Service Funds) are used to account for activities in a manner similar to that utilized in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful for sound financial administration.

The Proprietary Funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis, where revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses when they are incurred.

Fiduciary Funds The measurement focus for Trust and Agency Funds is dependent on the nature of the fund. The only Trust and Agency Funds of the City of Leesburg are the Pension Trust Funds, which are accounted for in essentially the same manner as the Proprietary Funds.

Account Groups The General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt Account Groups are used to establish accounting control and accountability for the City's general fixed assets and general long-term debt.

The City's general fixed assets are not financial resources available for expenditure.

The unmatured principal of the City's general long-term debt does not require the use of financial resources during the current accounting period. Accordingly, these are not accounted for in the governmental funds, but in self-balancing account groups.

General Governmental Functions

Revenues, as included in the govemmental funds, totaled $20,301,379 during fiscal year 2001-02 and increased by

$702,184 or 3.58% over the total revenues of

$19,599,195 reported in fiscal year 2000-01.

Pursuant to the uniform classification of accounts prescribed by the State Comptroller's

office, govemmental fund revenues are classified into one of the following six categories:

Taxes - Includes property (ad valorem) taxes, local option gas taxes, public service taxes (authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 166.231, Florida Statutes), other local taxes, and franchise fees.

Licenses and Permits Includes occupational licenses, building, zoning, and utility permits, right-of-way permits, and other licenses and permits of a local nature.

Intergovernmental Revenues - Includes federal grants, payments, and revenue sharing, state grants, payments, and revenue sharing, such as the City's share of state collected motor fuel taxes and sales taxes.

Charges for Services - Includes park fees, recreational activity fees, marina merchandise and fuel sales, certification and copy of city documents and records, sale of official maps and publications, animal control fees, stormwater utility

fees, zoning fees and other user charges.

Fines and Forfeitures - Includes court fines and fees (including police officers educational funding), the proceeds from the sale of judicially confiscated property, and library fines.

Miscellaneous Revenues Includes interest on investments, rents, sales of surplus property, insurance proceeds from lost or destroyed property, marina storage fees, assessments (including street lighting and impact fees), refunds, contributions, reimbursements, and revenues not more properly recorded in other classifications.

')Includes interest income and reimbursements received from the Enterprise Funds for services provided by General Fund Departments The relationships between the various sources of revenue received in fiscal year 2001-02, as compared to fiscal year 2000-01, may be shown graphically as follows:

Taxes: Revenue generated in this category experienced the single largest increase of any of the major revenue categories. The most significant cause of the increase can be attributed to the communications services tax.

The Florida Legislature enacted the Communications Services Tax Simplification Law", which became effective October 1, 2001, and eliminated three (3) revenue sources (public service tax on telecommunications, cable television franchise fees, and telecommunications franchise fees) which were previously available to units of local government. The new law replaces the eliminated revenues with a single tax collected by the Florida Department of Revenue. On July 9, 2001, the City Commission adopted Resolution Number 6263, which authorized the levy of the maximum discretionary communications services tax of 5.22% and elected not to collect right-of-way permit fees.

During fiscal year 2001-02, a total of $899,359 was collected, which accounts for 89.27% of the increase in this category.

Ad valorem tax revenues increased by

$45,290 or 6.73%, from $2,789,242 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $2,834,532 in fiscal year 2001-02. The millage rate (amount of taxes per $1,000 of assessed value) levied in the City remained constant at 4.50 mills for both years.

Therefore, the increase in ad valorem tax revenues is attributable totally to increases in the assessed value of taxable properties.

Aggregate taxable property values rose by 4.19%

or

$26,924,352 from $641,873,683 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $668,798,035 in fiscal year 2001-02.

In the past fifteen years, the increase in total taxable values has averaged 5.33%

annually, which, may be shown graphically as follows:

5 Percent Change 15.25 %

14.11 %

9.93 %

(1.81)%

(8.14)%

(12.72)%

3.58 %

March 17, 2003 The public service tax (authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 166.231, Florida Statutes),

for electric, natural gas, and water service sold to customers in the incorporated limits of the City was implemented on April 1, 2000.

This revenue source rose by $44,693 or 2.46% from

$1,813,930 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $1,858,623.

Revenues received from the levy of the one cent infrastructure sales surtax experienced an increase of $56,746 from

$1,210,133 in fiscal year 2000-01 to

$1,266,879 in fiscal year 2001-02.

On November 6, 2001, Lake County voters renewed the levy of an additional one cent tax on sales in the County pursuant to the provisions of Section 212.055, Florida Statutes. The City receives a portion of the tax based on an interlocal agreement with Lake County and the fourteen incorporated Lake County municipalities, which expires December 31, 2017. Utilization of the proceeds of this tax is limited to infrastructure improvements, long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure, and public safety vehicles and equipment with a life expectancy of at least 5 years.

Collectively, the local option gas taxes, and the one cent voted gas tax increased by $34,445 over the amount received in fiscal year 2000-01.

It should be noted at this point that the voters of Lake County, in a referendum election, approved this tax.

The tax provides for the levy of a one cent per gallon tax on motor fuel and special fuel sold in the County and taxed pursuant to the provisions of Section 206, Florida Statutes. Utilization of the proceeds of this tax is limited to the costs of acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of roads and streets; and the costs of establishing, operating, and maintaining a transportation system and related facilities.

Nearly 30% of both the one cent voted gas taxes as well as the six cent local option gas tax collected are shared with the municipalities based on a

cooperative agreement between Lake County and the fourteen incorporated Lake County municipalities.

On April 22, 2002, the City Commission approved Ordinance Number 02-24, which authorized collection of franchise fees from permit holders that service customers with solid waste collection and disposal within the City limits of Leesburg.

This new revenue source for a partial year generated

$11,935.

Licenses and permits:

The most significant increase in this category is building permits, which experienced an increase of $50,503 or 34.87%

from

$144,814 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $195,317 in fiscal year 2001-02. This increase can be attributed to the total construction value of permits issued, which increased by

$4,787,670 or 12.22% from $39,185,392 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $43,973,062 in fiscal year 2001-02. The total number of building permits issued decreased by 119 from 430 during fiscal year 2000-01 to 311 during fiscal year 2001-02. The decrease in number of permits issued compared to total construction value can be explained by numerous large commercial projects.

In addition, a large volume of permits with high construction values were submitted prior to the fee increase approved by Lake County.

6

_-I March 17, 2003 Occupational license revenue fell slightly by $5,242 or 2.87% from $182,343 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $177,101 in fiscal year 2001-02. This decrease can partially be attributed to three (3) businesses in the sales with inventory category: K-Mart and Belk's department store closed permanently and Publix was closed for renovation.

Gross revenue reported from businesses in this category dropped, which resulted in a decrease in fees collected.

Occupational license fees are payable on or before October 1 of each year; therefore, the timing of when these items are paid could have an impact on the amount received from one year to the next.

Intergovernmental revenue: This category experienced significant changes, which can be seen in the "Schedule of Expenditures" for federal and state financial awards.

Federal grants decreased by $2,096,130 and State grants increased by $2,151,966.

The decrease in federal grants can be attributed to the amount of grant revenue recognized in the stormwater fund in connection with the construction of improvements to the Carver Heights drainage basin.

Grant revenues for this project decreased by $1,178,617 or 74.96%

from $1,569,681 in fiscal year 2000-01 to

$391,064 in fiscal year 2001-02. Grant sources for this project included a federal grant passed through the State of Florida, Department of Community Affairs, as well as funding from the St. John's River Water Management District.

Another decrease can be attributed to a housing rehabilitation grant secured in July 2001, which provided improvements to substandard housing units owned by eligible low-income individuals and families.

Since the amount of grant revenue recognized relates directly to the amount of expenditures incurred, revenues from this source totaled $692,500 during fiscal year 2000-01 and $7,500 in fiscal year 2001-02 to complete the grant.

Finally, the level of activity during fiscal year 2001-02 for various grants related to the provision of law enforcement services from the U.S.

Department of Justice decreased from $236,858 to $144,605. The City received funding from the following agencies:

Type Agency Number Cops Fast Federal I

Local Law Enforcement Federal 2

Block Grant SRO

program, passed State 1

through from the U.S.

Department of Justice SROIDARE I

County 3

These decreases are offset by the increase in state grants, which is primarily due to all the activity associated with airport improvements, specifically land acquisition which totaled $2,166,897 in fiscal year 2001-02.

Also, the proceeds received from the local govemment half-cent sales tax increased $60,211 or 8.16% from $737,543 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $797,754 in fiscal year 2001-02.

Finally, housing grant revenues received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development remained relatively stable and rose by $27,082 or 3.76% from $719,547 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $746,629 in fiscal year 2001-02. Funding is based on the number of leased units, which remained

constant, and the established rate per unit. As of September 30, 2002, this program was transferred to Lake County.

Charges for services: Revenue from this source is subject to variances from year to year. Although this category experienced an overall decrease, stormwater utility fees increased slightly and traffic fine revenues increased $14,458.

Conversely, criminal fines and sales of forfeited property experienced a decrease of $16,583 and

$16,611 respectively.

Activity fees for 7

March 17, 2003 recreation decreased by $8,804 and zoning fees decreased $11,089.

Miscellaneous revenues: The decrease of

$821,811 or 12.72% can be attributed to increases and decreases in the four (4) areas within the category.

The major decrease is related to proceeds from the sale of real property, which generated one time revenues in both the general fund as well as the capital projects fund. In fiscal year 2000-01, the City realized revenue from the sale of the remaining parcels the City owned in the Municipal Industrial Park

($303,219) and the sale of property on the comer of Dixie Avenue and Canal Street, known as the Babe Ruth ball field

($820,310). The proceeds from this sale were deposited into the capital projects fund and will be used to construct the new baseball and softball fields at the Sleepy Hollow Recreation Complex.

Interest earnings also fell from $756,079 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $435,637 in fiscal year 2001-02, a decrease of 42.38% or

$320,442. Although, the amount of surplus funds available for investment (reported as equity in pooled cash and cash equivalents) grew by $766,443 from $12,093,793 as of September 30, 2001 to $12,860,236 as of September 30, 2002, interest revenues decreased as a result of the decline in interest rates. The change in general fund equity in pooled cash and cash equivalents from $5,280,905 as of September 30, 2001 to $6,214,234 as of September 30, 2002 was a result of the effort to restore the general fund to a strong fiscal foundation.

The adjustments required (pursuant to the provisions of GASB Statement 31) to adjust investment values to market prices resulted in a decrease to investment income totaling

$26,317 in fiscal year 2001-02.

The City recorded a market value decrease of

$130,888, which is a change of $157,205.

The reimbursement revenue from the six (6) enterprise funds increased by

$499,912 or 28.72% from $3,835,994 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $4,335,906 in fiscal year 2001-02. General fund departments provide a wide variety of services to the enterprise funds.

The costs of providing these services are recovered from the enterprise funds by way of cost allocation, and are deposited into the general fund as reimbursement revenues. As general fund expenditures of the departments providing services to the enterprise funds increase, the amount of reimbursement revenue generated also increases.

Rent and royalty revenue also rose by

$104,200 or 20.85% from $499,705 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $603,905 in fiscal year 2001-02. More than 100% of this increase can be directly attributed to increases in rental income generated by the Leesburg Regional Airport, which rose by $123,880.

This increase is offset by a decrease of

$7,774 in community building fees and

$9,988 in dry slip rental fees.

Total expenditures, as included in the governmental funds, rose by $2,835,512 or 12.30% from $23,046,920 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $25,882,432 in fiscal year 2001-02.

Similar to the fashion in which revenues are classified into major categories, governmental fund type expenditures are classified into one of the following nine functional categories:

General Government - Includes the costs of services provided by the legislative, judicial and administrative branches of govemment for the benefit of the public and the governmental body as a whole.

Public Safety - Includes expenditures related to the security of persons and

property, such as police services, building inspection

As shown in the above table, significant increases in expenditures for general government, specifically general fund

($2,835,512) and capital projects fund

($3,199,218), are offset by the'decreases in the special revenue funds ($2,191,567) as discussed in the physical environment and economic environment categories.

Throughout the various categories, there will be reference to increases in personal service costs.

In the governmental funds, those costs increased from $12,112,336 in fiscal year 2001-02 to $13,576,908 in fiscal year 2001-02, which is a 12.09% increase totaling $1,464,572.

In addition to the regular merit increases, the market salary survey adjustment

($668,757) and the employer health insurance cost increase

($231,019) were the cause for over 60% of the increase.

=

March 17, 2003 The following is a graphic representation of the changes in expenditures by category from fiscal year 2000-01 to fiscal year 2001-02:

General Government: Personal services expenditures (i.e. salaries and benefits) account for over 60%

of the total expenditures in the general govemment category and experienced an increase of

$516,558 or 17.04% over fiscal year 2001-

02. The other major increase was $108,870 over fiscal year 2000-01 for professional services for the consultant to update the comprehensive plan.

Public Safety:

Personal services expenditures for police department

($469,211) and fire department ($207,975) represent over 94% of the increase.

Physical Environment:

Other than the capital projects category, this category experienced the largest dollar decrease of any of the major expenditure categories. As discussed in the intergovemmental revenue category, more than 100% of this decrease is a result of stormwater projects.

The Carver Heights drainage project, grant funded, was completed in fiscal year 2000-01 and accounted for $973,890 of the decrease.

The engineering division experienced an increase in the personal services category ($46,604) and purchased new software and licenses ($31,532) to improve the operation of the department.

Finally, the public works administration division purchased a new vehicle and copier, which accounts for $29,000 of the increase.

Transportation: In March 2002, the City contracted with Superior Asphalt to perform services for streets division including street and sidewalk repairs.

This resulted in a

$22,511 savings for fiscal year 2001-02.

Expenditures associated with the Leesburg Regional Airport fell by $17,795 for two (2) reasons. There was a decrease in capital outlay expenditures above and beyond those funded out of the capital projects fund. Capital outlay expenditures in fiscal year 2000-01 totaling $44,000 were made for road construction to the Lowe's store located on airport property. Second, there were two (2) major repairs in fiscal year 2000-01 including a roof repair on Phil's Aircraft associated with the storm of July 20,'

2001 ($15,300), and repairs to the Sim's hangar ($9,175) that accounted for the change.

Economic Environment: The majority of the decrease in this category was associated with the community development block grant for low-income housing units. Expenditures fell from $832,500 in fiscal year 2001-02, when work on the grant neared completion to

$7,500 in fiscal year 2001-02, which was the final administrative payment.

Conversely, personal service expenditures for economic development division increased by $32,648 over fiscal year 2000-01. Expenditures in the federally assisted housing voucher program remained relatively stable and rose by only

$27,082.

Human Services: The change in this category was so minimal there is little need to identify the reasons.

Expenditures associated with the Citizens Utility Relief Effort (C.U.R.E.) Program are dependent on the amount of citizen contributions received, and tend to vary from year to year.

10

-I March 17, 2003 Culture/Recreation:

Excluding capital projects, this category had the second largest increase. In addition to the increases in personal service costs of $13,706 in library and $244,779 in recreation, there were five (5) other expenditures significant to this category, specifically clean air ducts at the library

($19,000),

purchase software

($32,154), and overhead projector ($15,534).

The recreation department spent $20,000 on Venetian Gardens canal dredging and

$20,000 for a new vehicle.

Capital Projects: The significant increase in this category can be attributed to land acquisition at the airport, which represents 90% or $2,882,459 of the increase.

The other major capital project that began during fiscal year 2000-01 and had significant increases is land acquisition for the remaining parcels for the police department and the design and engineering costs associated with the construction of the police station, which increased by $429,678 for both projects.

Debt Service: Expenditures vary depending on the amount of the periodic installments of principal and interest due on long-term obligations during a particular fiscal year.

Total debt service expenditures increased by

$52,952 or 13.71% from $386,303 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $439,255 in fiscal year 2001-02.

The debt service expenditures are associated with the issuance of the

$7,345,000 City of

Leesburg, Florida Refunding and Capital Improvement Bonds, Series 1999 remained relatively stable

($384,255 in fiscal year 2000-01 and

$379,430 in fiscal year 2001-02).

The majority of the change resulted from an increase in principal repayment from $55,000 in fiscal year 2000-01 to $125,000 in fiscal year 2001-02.

Debt Administration The $7,345,000 Refunding and Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, the $15,705,000 Utilities System Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1999A and the

$12,145,000 Utilities System Revenue Bonds, Series 1999B are insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation (Ambac) and carry a AM Standard and Poors Bond Rating and AAA Fitch IBCA Bond Rating.

The following is a summary of long-term debt activity for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002:

3)Represents that portion of the legal settlement with the Tri-County Branch of the NAACP which does not represent a current liability. Specifically, the terms of the settlement require the City of Leesburg to continue an annual funding subsidy, in the amount of $30,000, to the Community Development Corporation, for a period of 10 years, which began in fiscal year 1997-98. In addition, the City is also required to pay an additional $30,000 per year for a period of 10 years, which began in fiscal year 2000-01. The balance due for both settlements, recorded as a long term liability, totals $390,000.

(4)Represents the principal portion of the purchase of the Christley property by the Greater Leesburg Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Fund, which is subject to a 15 year mortgage that extends until May 2014.

Capital Projects Fund As previously described, the City has created a capital projects fund to account for major construction projects, which generally require longer than one fiscal year to complete.

As reported

above, expenditures from the capital projects fund totaled

$4,719,851 during fiscal year 2001-02. Significant revenue sources used to fund the capital projects fund include the proceeds received by the City from the one-cent local government infrastructure surtax, as well as federal and state grants such as the State Department of Transportation airport funding agreements.

Fiscal year 2001-02 capital projects fund revenues totaled $4,016,451.

All other capital improvement expenditures are reported within the appropriate governmental fund type.

Fiduciary Operations The City utilizes three pension trust funds to account for three defined benefit pension plans operated by the City: the General Employees' Pension Fund, the Municipal Police Officers' Retirement Trust Fund and the Municipal Firemen's Retirement Trust Fund. All investments are managed by 12 1,265,521 450,000 120,313 222,142 1,385,834 60,000 12,687 390,000 209,455

March 17, 2003 outside fund managers. The operation of the three pension plans declined during fiscal year 2001-02.

Even though the net decrease to the funds totaled $3,065,681, the net assets held in trust for pension benefits totaled

$35,126,389 as of September 30, 2002.

General Fixed Assets The general fixed assets of the City are those fixed assets used in the performance of general govemmental functions and exclude those fixed assets known collectively as infrastructure, i.e., roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar assets which are immovable and generally of value only to the City of Leesburg. Also excluded from general fixed assets are the fixed assets of enterprise and internal service Electric Gas Utility Utility Operating Revenues Operating Expenses Operating Income (Loss) funds, if any. As of September 30, 2002, the general fixed assets of the City amounted to

$45,167,624. This amount represents the historical cost of purchased assets or the estimated fair market value at the date of acquisition of assets acquired through donation or other means. The City's fixed asset accounting policy requires capitalization in the accounting records of fixed assets with a value of $1,000 or more.

Proprietary Operations The City has created a total of six enterprise funds to account for the following utility services: electric, natural gas, solid waste services, communication services, water and wastewater treatment. The results of operations of the enterprise funds for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002 may be summarized as follows:

In addition to the general government services provided, the following six (6) utility systems are also an important part of the City organization. As shown in the schedule above, four of the six enterprise funds had positive net income during fiscal year 2001-02.

The Wastewater Utility Fund experienced a net loss of $1,375,567 as a result of several factors:

additional expenditures associated with the operation of a second treatment plant, and a reduction in interest revenue earned.

The rate study was completed subsequent to this audit report and the revenue increases in future years will be sufficient to support the operating expenditures of this utility. The loss in the solid waste fund was a result in restatement of the landfill postclosure estimate.

In the aggregate, the net loss (after subtracting operating transfers to the general fund) in the six enterprise funds totaled 13

March 17, 2003

$476,408.

A majority of this loss can be attributed to the decrease in interest earnings from $3,754,972 in fiscal year 2000-01 to,$1,829,975 in fiscal year 2001-

02. In addition to the declining interest rates, the amount of surplus funds available for investment (reported as equity in pooled cash and cash equivalents) fell by

$6,466,532.

Much of this cash was reinvested in capital assets, which had a net increase of $5,256,788.

The City of Leesburg serves residents and many customers outside the incorporated limits. The City has an active maintenance program and considers all systems to be in good condition.

The City believes the rates charged for the use of all the utility systems are reasonably comparable to rates charged by similar utilities. The rates of the electric system are established by ordinance of the City Commission. The current rate structure of the City (as opposed to the actual rates) is subject to the approval of the Public Service Commission (PSC). Rates for the use of the natural gas, water, wastewater, solid waste, communications, and stormwater systems are established by ordinance of the City Commission and are not regulated by any other agency.

Electric System The electric system, established in 1926, serves 19,763 customers.

The system includes five substations, distribution facilities, 371.4 miles of primary electric lines, and covers a total area of 50 square miles.

The City of Leesburg purchases power from the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) on an all-requirements basis.

FMPA was created pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 163, Parts I and 11 ("The Interlocal Act": and "The Joint Power Act") which, among other

things, provides a means for Florida municipal corporations to cooperate with each other to provide for their present and future energy needs.

The agreement remains in effect until October 1, 2020, with two optional successive ten-year renewal periods.

The power rates that FMPA charges the City are subject to a majority vote of the FMPA Board of Directors. The City has limited oversight authority over the operation.

The City operates no generation facilities, but owns an undivided 0.8244%

interest in and generation entitlement share to Crystal River Number 3, a nuclear steam electric generating unit. Florida Progress (formerly known as Florida Power Corporation) owns 90% of the unit and is responsible for the operation of the plant.

The City acquired its share of the facilities in 1975. Participants are entitled to energy output of the unit based upon their respective generation entitlement share.

Operation costs are paid monthly in proportion to the entitlement share. Nuclear fuel payments are required of participants in advance.

The City, through FMPA, negotiated an agreement with Florida Power and Light Corporation guaranteeing the City the right to purchase up to 1.716 megawatts of generating capacity from the St. Lucie No. 2 nuclear generating plant.

This plant became operational in 1984.

The Public Service Commission approved a

territorial agreement with Florida Power Corporation in May 1982 and with Sumter Electric Cooperative in May 1991. The City of Leesburg entered into a franchise agreement, effective November 1, 1983, with the City of Fruitland Park to provide electric services for 25 years and the right for the City of Fruitland Park to purchase the distribution system in 2008.

The capital improvements plan for the electric system for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 through 2007 includes 14

March 17, 2003 various capital expenditures aggregating

$32,990,956 (including

$5,000,000 for converting electric utilities to underground),

all of which are projected to be paid from revenues of the electric system.

No indebtedness is anticipated to be issued with respect to the electric system in order to finance such capital improvements.

Natural Gas System The natural gas system, established in 1959, encompasses 83 square miles, both inside and outside the City limits, and is composed of 211 miles of steel gas mains and 9,510 steel services. The areas served include the City of Leesburg, the area west along SR 44 including the Municipal Industrial Park and Pennbrooke Fairways, the area east of the City which includes the Lake Square Mall and Bassville Park and is bounded by Dead River, the City of Fruitland Park to the north and the area west of US Highway 27, which includes Okahumpka and extends along CR 470 to the Coleman Federal Correction Facility to the west and the area along US Highway 27 South including Legacy, Highland Lakes, and ending at Royal Highlands just south of the Florida Turnpike to the south.

The City of Fruitland Park is served under a franchise agreement which became effective November 1,

1983.

The agreement provides for 25 years of service and the right for the City of Fruitland Park to purchase its distribution system in 2008.

Installation and maintenance of all gas mains and service lines are the responsibility of the City Gas Department.

Mains that are 4 inches in diameter and larger are installed by outside contractors.

The City of Leesburg is a member of the Florida Gas Utility (FGU) consortium. FGU purchases natural gas for its members from various suppliers and coordinates day-to-day nominations to Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT, an interstate pipeline company) for delivery of natural gas to the City's two gate stations.

The scheduled volumes are based on the weather forecast, daily consumption needs not related to weather, and FGT system constraints.

The Capital Improvement Plan for the gas system for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 through 2007 includes various capital expenditures aggregating

$6,783,823 all of which are projected to be paid from revenues of the gas system. No indebtedness is anticipated to be issued with respect to the gas system in order to finance such capital improvements.

Water System The water system was established nearly 100 years ago.

The water service area encompasses 26 square miles inside and outside the City limits and serves 13,173 customers.

The water distribution system is primarily composed of 332 miles of water mains. The system includes four (4) elevated storage tanks, (College Street 500,000

gallons, Newell Hill 200,000 gallons, Highland Lakes 200,000 gallons, and Lake Square Mall 150,000 gallons).

There are three (3) ground storage tanks within the system. Two (2) of the ground storage tanks within the City limits are rated at 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and the one at Royal Highlands is a 500,000 MGD tank. In addition, there is a 10,000 gallon hydropneumatic tanks at the Leesburg Regional Airport and the Legacy Development.

Water is obtained from 15 Floridian aquifer wells.

The City has a consumptive use permit from St. Johns River Water Management District to withdraw 2,897.9 million gallons in 2002, which is an average daily flow of 7.94 million gallons. Treatment of the raw water is accomplished through the main water treatment plant and four (4) satellite plants.

15

March 17, 2003 The water system is anticipated to have the capacity to meet the needs of the existing customers of the City through the year 2020. The water system received the "Outstanding Water Distribution Award, Division II" from the Florida Section of the American Water Works Association for 1999 and 2000.

The City meets all federal and state drinking water standards.

The Capital Improvement Plan for the water system for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 through 2007 include various capital expenditures aggregating

$11,808,462 all of which are projected to be paid from revenues of the water system.

No indebtedness is anticipated to be issued with respect to the water system in order to finance such capital improvements.

Wastewater System The wastewater treatment system was established in the 1920's. The wastewater collection system serves the City and the surrounding service area which totals 26 square miles and serves 10,338 customers.

The wastewater collection system consists of 100 pumping lift stations and 103 miles of sewer force mains and 70 miles of sewer gravity lines.

Gravity sewer lines range from 4 to 24 inches in diameter and force mains range from 4 to 20 inches in diameter. The City has an operating permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to operate two wastewater treatment plants, the Canal Street Plant, which is rated at 3.5 MGD, and the new Turnpike Plant, which is rated at 3.0 MGD.

The system is in compliance with all state and federal regulations. The City treats its effluent water to an advance secondary standard and irrigates 675 acres of City owned property of which 365 acres are utilized for the hay operation.

The resulting sludge waste generated from the wastewater treatment process is disposed of on 340 acres of City-owned hay fields.

With both the Turnpike and Canal Street wastewater treatment plants and land disposal sites maintained and in service, the City anticipates having sufficient wastewater treatment/disposal capacity through the year 2015.

Wastewater reuse is a commodity that will help the City maximize the life of the drinking water aquifer available for customers. Reuse is a valuable resource for not only residential customers, but for commercial customers that require high volumes of water at reasonable rates. The availability of reuse water in industrial and residential applications will be utilized to provide a means of reducing the City's use of potable water. Construction of a reuse facility and reuse line extensions began in fiscal year 1999-2000.

Although the City has 86 customers in selected areas using the reuse pipelines, the City will be able to expand the reuse water service once the facility is complete. The City anticipates the construction of the additional reuse equipment and the reuse pipeline will be completed by December 2003. This new service will allow certain users to purchase irrigation water at a lower rate than the potable water rate, as well as meet the St.

Johns River Water Management District water consumption requirement.

The Capital Improvement Plan for the wastewater system for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 through 2007 include various capital expenditures aggregating

$30,208,576, of which the majority are projected to be paid from revenues of the wastewater system.

In addition, Canal Street Plant improvements have been identified and estimated to cost

$13 million and will require the issuance of indebtedness with respect to the wastewater system in order to finance such capital improvements. As of September 30,

2002, all the proceeds from the

$12,145,000 Utilities System Revenue Bonds, Series 1999B, have been used to complete specific capital improvements.

16

March 17, 2003 Communication System The communication utility system was established in 1993 and serves customers both inside and outside the City limits. This utility has a variety of customers: cellular telephone tower rental, internet services, and fiber optic communications.

A monopole tower, located at the wastewater system spraysite on CR

470, was constructed in fiscal year 1998 and currently has two (2) cellular tower rental customers.

The water towers serve four (4) customers for cellular telephone tower rental space.

Intemet services were first offered in November 1998 and currently serve 336 customers.

The fiber optic extensions serve 26 municipal facilities and five (5) substations that interconnect all City offices to the IBM AS/400 computer located in the City Hall building. The City currently has seven (7) outside commercial customers.

The City has installed 77 miles of fiber-optic cable, including 12 miles of new cable from 2nd Street north to The Villages retirement community. The City has embarked on an aggressive campaign to install fiber-optic cable. The budget includes funds to install 80,000 feet of new fiber optic lines to customers for high speed internet access, video conferencing, and to secure data transfer between multiple business sites.

In fiscal year 2001-02, the City began offering a 10 mb ethernet service to provide service for easy connectivity and extensions for computer networks that are cost effective.

The Capital Improvement Plan for the communications system for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2003 through 2007 include various capital expenditures aggregating $7,144,599, the majority of which are projected to be paid from revenues of the electric system as a loan to be repaid from user charges over 10 years.

Solid Waste System The solid waste system serves the incorporated area of the City, which totals almost 30 square miles and serves 6,671 customers.

The City provides 90 gallon garbage cans for all residential and small commercial customers.

Large commercial customers are now provided commercial dumpsters in various sizes from 2 cubic yards up to 10 cubic yards, which the City leases. Solid waste management instituted roll off service for construction and demolition debris. During fiscal year 2000-01, the City purchased the following roll off containers: 5 10-yards, 7 20-yards, 7 30-yards, and 4 40-yards. Presently there are:

175(2cy), 170(4cy), 53(6cy), and 75(8cy) dumpsters in service city-wide, 40% of which are City owned.

Internal Service Funds The City has created three intemal service funds to account for fleet maintenance

services, employee health benefits
coverage, and workers' compensation coverage.

As of September 30, 2002, the Fleet Maintenance Fund was transferred to the general fund.

Activity for this fund was reported on the income statement, and assets and liabilities were transferred to the general fund, so the balance sheet reflects a zero balance.

The Health Insurance Fund experienced a net income of $616,574 resulting in positive retained earnings of $313,745.

Although administrative expenses increased significantly, claims experience decreased

$907,584.

On October 1, 2000, the City increased rates in order to build a

substantial reserve over a two year period, which proved to be a successful endeavor.

The City Commission terminated the contract with Well America Group, effective May 31, 2000 and continues litigation to 17

March 17, 2003 recover

$744,109 of claims expense incurred by City participants that should have been paid by Well America as the third party insurance company.

The program provides for the payment of City and employee contributions into a

self-insurance fund, which is managed by the City and a third party administrator.

Specific and aggregate stop loss coverage remains in effect, subject to the limits detailed in the following section.

The Workers' Compensation Fund experienced a net loss of $186,164, resulting in a positive retained earning of $1,103,830.

This loss for the second year led to an increase in user charges from 25% of the state established rates to 37.5%.

Risk Management Risk management is the process of managing the City's activities in order to minimize the potential adverse effects of certain types of losses. The main elements of the risk management program are risk control (loss reduction) and risk financing (restoration of the economic damages of losses incurred).

Presently, the City's risk management program calls for self-insuring many types of risk, subject to the following limitations:

fiscal year 1994-95, the City Commission adopted the City's first comprehensive investment policy.

These policies were amended during fiscal year 1998-1999 to incorporate basic intemal controls over the investment function.

Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in demand

deposits, in ovemight repurchase agreements, in the Local Govemment Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the State Board of Administration, and in govemment securities authorized by the investment policy.

Interest rates and maturities (from the date of purchase) on securities purchased by the City during fiscal year 2001-02 were as follows:

In addition, funds were invested in the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund in order to take advantage of the higher yields and greater liquidity available therein.

Cash Managem'ent The City Clerk/Finance Director invests and disburses funds on behalf of the City Commission as required by law and applicable management directives.

During Major Initiatives' During the past several years, it became increasingly apparent that the financial health of the City's general fund was experiencing considerable stress.

This stress was caused, at least in part, by an increasing dependency on operating transfers from the enterprise funds to finance general govemment operations including certain large scale capital improvements.

In an effort to deal with these issues, on August 14, 2000, the City adopted, by ordinance, three financial policies, which became effective for the fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2000.

18 Amount of Risk Retained by City 400,000 Type of Risk Workers' Compensation Health Benefits

-I March 17, 2003 The first policy requires that the City Commission maintain adequate fund balance/retained earnings and reserves in its various operating funds. This policy basically provides a minimum threshold balance of unreserved undesignated fund balance in the general fund equal to 20% of the adopted budget, and a minimum threshold balance of unreserved retained eamings in each of the enterprise funds equal to 25% of the adopted budget.

During the annual review to determine compliance with this policy, all funds were determined to be in compliance.

The second policy governs the transfer of funds from each of the enterprise funds to the general fund. The policy provides that the operating transfer shall not exceed 10% of operating revenues generated by each of the City's six (6) enterprise funds. During fiscal year 2001-02, operating transfers from the enterprise funds to the general fund totaled 8% of estimated revenues.

The third policy, the special projects transfer policy, governs transfers made from the utility funds for the purpose of financing general government special projects. Once the Commission determines a need for a nonrecurring transfer to a non-enterprise fund for capital improvements, the policy establishes a means to determine if funding is available.

A total of $900,227 was transferred from the enterprise

funds, specifically electric and water funds, to the capital projects fund during fiscal year 2001-02 for the purpose of funding projects including rails to trails and improvements at the Leesburg Regional Airport.

Although not reflected in the total annexations for fiscal year 2001-02, the City continues an active annexation program.

Over the past ten years, the City has expanded in size, from 19.63 square miles in 1993, to 29.71 square miles as of September 30, 2002, which represents an increase of over 50% during the ten year period. While annexations do provide the City with an expanding revenue base, they also create demands for additional services which must be carefully considered as a part of the overall annexation decision.

Also during fiscal year 2001-02, the City entered into a contract with Lake-Sumter Emergency Medical Services, Inc. allowing the Leesburg Fire Department to upgrade and provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) services to the residents of Leesburg and the surrounding area. The fire department has provided Basic Life Support (BLS) services for a number of years. ALS services differ from BLS services in that ALS allows personnel to administer drugs, interpret basic cardiac EKG's and administer advanced life sustaining treatment.

In return for the provision of ALS services by the Leesburg Fire Department, Lake-Sumter Emergency Medical Services, Inc. will compensate the City in an amount equal to a 0.10 mill property tax levy on all City property. The program began to generate revenue in September 2001, and realized revenue of

$63,312 for fiscal year 2001-02.

Prospects for the Future The City of Leesburg Electric Utility represents the single most important financial aspect of the City's operation.

Revenues generated from the electric utility fund accounts for nearly half of all City revenues. Nevertheless, the electric system may be affected by a number of factors which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition.

Deregulation of the electric utility industry has the potential for significant detrimental impact upon the City of Leesburg. Presently, most customers of electric utilities are unable to choose among various suppliers of electricity and are dependent upon the local utility. Rates charged by local utilities are either set or regulated by the govemment, and utilities are generally not subject to competitive-pressures.

The electric utility 19

March 17, 2003 industry may in the future become subject to open retail competition, and it is not possible to predict whether it would have any adverse impact upon the electric system. The City of Leesburg will continue to prepare the electric utility for the prospect of increased competition.

During fiscal year 1999-2000, the City implemented a public service tax on electric, gas, and water services in an effort to protect the City's revenue stream, provide an equitable system to fund City services, and maintain utility rates that are competitive, and to reduce general fund dependence on utility fund income for survival.

Over the past two (2) years, volatility in the cost of fuel used to produce energy has required pricing reactions on the part of the City with respect to electricity and natural gas.

Increasingly, natural gas is used as a fuel source for the production of electricity.

The increase in natural gas prices also had a significant impact to the city's electric utility.

Unfortunately, the City has no option but to pass these increases on to the electric customers. The volatility of the current energy market, and the threat of war, will cause the City to more aggressively monitor these costs and may necessitate additional adjustments to the Bulk Power Cost Adjustment in the months ahead.

One other major issue on the horizon which is of significant concem to the City of Leesburg is the upcoming implementation of the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 entitled Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Govemments.

While the City intends to implement the provisions of GASB-34 statement as required this fiscal year, nevertheless the City has concerns over the effects of its implementation. Specifically, in the global sense, Statement 34 radically changes the traditional focus of governmental financial reporting from one of stewardship and the flow of current financial resources, to a focus on the results of operations and the flow of economic resources. We believe this radical change may not be readily acceptable by several of the classes of users of govemmental financial reports, namely, elected officials, the public and the news media. To illustrate, one of the principal tenets of Statement 34 is the preparation of govemment-wide financial statements. Under current practice, long lived assets and long term liabilities associated with the governmental funds are accounted for in account groups rather than being reported on the balance sheet of the various funds. This permits the users of the financial statements to evaluate the amount of current financial resources available in the govemmental funds.

However, with the entity wide statement of net assets (there will no longer be a balance sheet) required pursuant to Statement 34, long lived assets and long term liabilities will be commingled with current assets and liabilities, which could distort the total amount of resources available to fund the ongoing operations.

By assuming that the value of general fixed assets is equal to approximately half of their useful life remaining, then the un-depreciated value of these assets could appear to show greater financial resources, and could increase the perceived value of the City's net assets. Although the amounts reported do not represent the current cash resources of the City, we are nevertheless concemed about the perception created about the financial health, or lack thereof, of the governmental unit as a whole.

Economic Condition and Outlook The City of Leesburg is part of the Greater Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). As a member of the Economic Development Commission of Mid Florida, Inc., the City of Leesburg is able to take advantage of the unique partnership created with the City of Orlando, Orange, Seminole, 20

March 17, 2003 Lake and Osceola counties to provide a progressive, cohesive effort for new and expanding businesses.

A strong pro business environment also can be seen from a financial point of view. Florida ranks sixth lowest nationwide in corporate income taxes, and there is no state personal income tax. In addition, state and local incentives are available to create enticing packages based on economic impact.

With the adoption of the 1996 fiscal year budget, the City Commission made a

commitment to continue city-wide economic development activities to create more and better jobs for our citizens, stability for their families, and develop balance within the local economy.

Since March 1993, when the City initiated its first formal economic development office, efforts to attract new industry and assist the expansion of existing business in Leesburg has been significant. The City has developed strategies to diversify its service based job economy by creating more semi skilled and skilled positions at higher wages. By doing so, the City also hopes to enhance property values and to stabilize taxes.

On March 27, 2000, the City Commission adopted the City of Leesburg Strategic Economic Development Plan. As part of this incentive plan, the Commission has adopted two (2) incentive strategies, a fast track permitting process and a job growth incentive program.

The job growth incentive program adopted by the City Commission mirrors the program approved by the Lake County Commission for the Lake County Industrial Development Authority. In order to fund the job growth incentive program for the City of Leesburg, during fiscal year 2001 2002, the City committed

$15,000 for economic incentive programs, with a maximum of $500 per job. In order to qualify for receipt of job growth incentive funds the following criteria must be met:

Create a minimum of 10 new full time jobs in the City of Leesburg within two years for new businesses, or a minimum of 5 full time jobs in one year for existing businesses, and The starting wage of each position provided an incentive must be 110% of the average wage in Lake County, Florida, as may be annually adjusted, and Created jobs must be from one of the targeted industries identified in the tables provided in the ordinance.

Independent Audit Section 11.45, Florida Statutes, requires a financial audit of the annual financial statements of The City of Leesburg by an independent Certified Public Accountant selected by the City Commission and paid from City funds. This requirement has been accomplished, and the report of our auditors is included in the financial section of this report.

Certificate of Achievement The Govemment Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a

Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Leesburg, Florida for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

March 17, 2003 standards.

A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only.

The City of Leesburg has received a Certificate of Achievement for the last twelve consecutive years (fiscal years ended 1990-2001). The City's current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement Program requirements, and will be submitted to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another Certificate.

Acknowledgments A comprehensive annual financial report of this nature could not have been prepared without the efficient and dedicated service of all staff members involved. I would like to express my appreciation to the staff of the Accounting Division of the Office of the City Clerk/Finance

Director, and specifically Deputy Finance Director Diane Reichard, for their efforts in producing this report, and to the accounting firm of Purvis Gray and Company for their contributions to the design, preparation and publication of this document.

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 -

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The City of Leesburg, Florida (the City) is a Florida municipality governed by an elected five-member City Commission. The City was established by the adoption of its Charter in the Laws of Florida, Chapter 9820, 1923. The City provides services to its citizens including fire and police protection, electric, gas, water, wastewater, solid waste, parks and recreation, streets, and other general governmental activities. The City Commission is governed by the City Charter and by state and local laws and regulations. The City Commission is responsible for the establishment and adoption of policy.

The execution of such policy is the responsibility of the Commission-appointed City Manager.

The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles for governmental entities. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies.

Reporting Entity The accompanying general purpose financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the applicable fund types and account groups governed by the City Commission of the City in accordance with governmental accounting standards. The reporting entity for the City (the primary government) contains one separate legal entity (component unit) for which the City Commission has financial accountability.

Financial accountability is present if the City Commission appoints a voting majority of a component unit's governing body and has the ability to impose its will on that organization or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.

The City established the Greater Leesburg Community Redevelopment Agency as a component unit of the City. The Greater Leesburg Community Redevelopment Agency's Governing Board is composed of the City Council plus two members appointed by the City Council, and is accounted for as a blended special revenue fund in the accompanying general purpose financial statements. Separate financial statements are not issued for the Greater Leesburg Community Redevelopment Agency.

Basis of Presentation The City and its component units maintain their accounting records in accordance with the principles and policies applicable to governmental units set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), as well as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The proprietary funds do not apply FASB statements and interpretations issued after November 30, 1989.

Fund Accounting The accounting system and financial reports of the City are organized and operated on a fund basis. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts 39

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 1 -

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fund Accounting (Concluded) recording cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein which are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.

Fund and Account Group Categories The categories of funds and account groups of the City are summarized as follows:

Governmental fund types are those through which most government functions typically are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of expendable financial resources and the related current liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary funds) are accounted for through governmental type funds. Governmental funds used by the City are as follows:

  • General Fund - The general fund is used to account for all revenues and expenses of the City which are not properly accounted for in other funds.
  • Special Revenue Funds - Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
  • Debt Service Fund - The debt service fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest.
  • Capital Projects Funds - The capital projects funds are used to account for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds).

Proprietary fund types are used to account for the City's ongoing activities which are similar to those found in the private sector.

  • Enterprise Funds - Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are similar to private business enterprises with the intent to recover costs to provide goods through user charges.
  • Internal Service Funds - Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one department to other departments of the governmental unit on a cost-reimbursement basis.

Fiduciary fund types are used to account for assets held in a trustee capacity for others.

  • Pension Trust Funds - Pension trust funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity for public employee retirement systems.

40

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 1 -

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fund and Account Group Categories (Concluded)

Account groups record and control the City's general fixed assets and general long-term debt.

The account groups are not funds and do not reflect available financial resources and related liabilities. The following account groups are maintained by the City:

d General Fixed Assets - The general fixed assets account group is used to maintain control and cost information on City-owned property, plant and equipment, including construction in progress.

  • General Long-Term Debt - The general long-term debt account group is used to account for all long-term debt (principal balances of debt, capital lease obligations, and obligations for compensated absences), which is backed by the full faith and credit of the City and other long-term debt for which special revenues are pledged.

Measurement Focus Governmental fund types (general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds) are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheets.

Reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available, spendable, or appropriable resources." Governmental fund type operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

Proprietary and pension trust fund types are accounted for on a "cost of services" or "capital maintenance" measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with its activity are included on its balance sheet to provide an indication of the economic net worth of the funds. The reported fund equity (net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components.

The proprietary fund types operating statement presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets.

Basis of Accounting Governmental fund type revenues and expenditures are recognized on the modified accrual basis. This method recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become available and measurable.

Expenditures are recognized in the period in which the fund liability is incurred (except unmatured interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due).

Governmental fund type revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes, franchise fees, federal and state revenue sharing revenues, and reimbursements from grants for authorized expenditures through September 30.

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 1 -

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Basis of Accounting (Concluded)

Proprietary fund revenues and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when incurred.

Fiduciary funds of the City consist of pension trust funds which are accounted for on the accrual basis.

Transfers Transfers are recognized in the accounting period in which the interfund receivable and payable arise. Transfers are made from the utility funds to finance operations of the general fund, and the general fund makes transfers to the special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds.

Grants-Proprietary Funds Unrestricted grants, entitlements or shared revenues received are reported as nonoperating revenues.

Such resources externally restricted for capital acquisitions or construction are reported as contributed capital.

Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments held outside of the City's pooled cash system (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and investments held by the pooled cash system are considered cash equivalents for the cash flow statement.

Investments In all funds, investments are stated at fair value. During 1998, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 31, via a prior period adjustment to adjust the carrying value of all investments from amortized cost to fair value.

Receivables Utility operating revenues are generally recognized on the basis of cycle billings rendered monthly. The amount of services delivered after the last billing date and up to September 30 is estimated and accrued at year end.

Inventories Inventories held by the utility, solid waste and fleet maintenance funds are priced by the weighted average cost method at the lower of cost or market. Inventory shown in the fleet maintenance fund consists of fuel held for consumption, which are valued at cost as determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is accounted for by use of the consumption method.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Amortization Bond issue costs and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.

Cost Reimbursements Certain personal services and operating expenses recorded in various funds and departments are a result of services performed and expenses/expenditures incurred for the benefit of other funds and departments.

Cost reimbursements are recorded as nonrevenue receipts in the receiving fund.

The funds and departments that benefit from the services and expenses/expenditures record a cost reimbursement as an increase in expenditures or expenses.

Proprietary Fund Fixed Assets Proprietary fund fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date received.

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Description Useful Lives Buildings 10 to 50 Years Improvements Other Than Buildings 20 to 50 Years Vehicles and Equipment 5 to 10 Years General Fixed Assets General fixed assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the governmental fund types at the time of purchase. Such assets are capitalized at cost in the general fixed assets account group. The City's policy is not to capitalize public domain fixed assets such as streets, right-of-ways, sidewalks, drainage systems and similar assets. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value at the time of acquisition. Depreciation is not provided on general fixed assets.

Compensated Absences The City accrues accumulated compensated absences for governmental and proprietary funds.

Compensated absences are recorded in the governmental fund types as an expenditure for the amount accrued during the year that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. The remainder of the liability is reported in the general long-term debt account group. The proprietary funds accrue compensated absences in the period they are earned. Personnel policies allow employees to accumulate a maximum of 90 days vacation leave and unlimited sick leave.

Upon termination, employees are paid for their accrued vacation leave and 25% of their accrued sick leave balance up to 200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br />.

Budgeting The City's procedures in preparing and adopting the annual budget are as follows:

  • The City Manager is responsible for preparing a proposed operating budget for all governmental funds for the upcoming year prior to September 30, that includes estimated revenues, proposed expenditures, and other financing sources and uses.
  • Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayer comments and suggestions.

The budget is enacted through passage of an ordinance.

  • The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within any fund, but may not revise total fund expenditures without the approval of the City Commission. The budgetary data presented is in agreement with the originally adopted budget as amended by the City Commission.
  • Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for substantially all funds.

Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Total budgeted appropriations within a governmental fund type may not be exceeded legally. Appropriations lapse at the end of the year. Budget data, when presented in the general purpose financial statements, is prepared on the same basis of accounting as that prescribed for the fund.

During the year, the City made supplemental budget appropriations which increased or decreased the budgets as indicated below:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded)

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 assessment are also designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. Florida Statutes permit municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10 mills.

The tax levy of the City is established by the City Commission prior to October 1 of each year and the Lake County Property Appraiser incorporates the City millages into the total tax levy, which includes the County and the County School Board tax requirements.

Chapter 193, Florida Statutes, requires that all property shall be assessed at just or fair value as of January 1 of each year. Each assessment roll is submitted to the Executive Director of the Florida Department of Revenue for review to determine if it meets all of the appropriate requirements of the Florida Statutes.

All taxes are assessed, due and payable on November of each year or as soon thereafter as the assessment roll is certified and delivered to the County Tax Collector. Unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 of the subsequent year. Discounts are allowed at the rate of 4% in November, 3% in December, 2% in January, and 1 % in February. The taxes paid in March are without discount.

On or prior to June 1 following the tax year, certificates are sold for all delinquent taxes on real property. After sale, tax certificates bear interest of 18% per year or any lower rate bid by the buyer. Application for a tax deed on any unredeemed tax certificates may be made by the certificate holder after a period of two years. Unsold certificates are held by the County.

Delinquent taxes on personal property bear interest of 18% per year until the tax is satisfied either by seizure and sale of property or by the five-year statute of limitations.

The City does not accrue its portion of the County held tax sales certificates or personal property tax warrants because such amounts are not measurable and available as of the balance sheet date.

Deposits and Investments Pooled Cash and Investments The City maintains a cash and investment pool which -carries substantially all cash and investments of the City, and is used by all funds except the pension trust funds. Each fund's portion of the pool is displayed in the accompanying general purpose financial statements as "Cash and Investments."

The cash and investments of the pension trust funds are held separately from those other funds of the City.

Deposits and Investments (Continued)

Deposits All of the City's deposits are maintained in banks and financial institutions which are covered by the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act (the Act); Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes.

The Act established a multiple financial institution collateral pool with the ability to assess member institutions to satisfy the claims of governmental entities if any member financial institution fails. This ability to assess provides protection which is similar to depository insurance.

At September 30, 2002, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was

$1,964,539 and the bank balance was $1,872,119.

Investments Florida Statutes, the City Charter and investment policies authorize the investment of funds in time deposits or savings accounts of financial institutions approved by the State Treasurer, and obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and mutual funds. Investments may also include repurchase agreements and deposits with the State Board of Administration pool.

Revenue bond covenants also restrict the type and maturities of investments in bond-related funds.

Investments of the municipal police officers' retirement trust fund may be held in bonds, stocks, or other evidence of indebtedness issued or guaranteed by a corporation under the laws of the United States provided the corporation meets certain rating and profitability criteria.

Investments of the municipal firemen's retirement trust fund and the general employees' pension fund may be invested in accordance with Florida Statutes as previously described.

This statement requires accounting recognition be given to all estimated closure and postclosure care costs during the operating life of the landfill.

The $922,352 liability recorded represents the estimated costs of postclosure care for fourteen years after closure as required by state and federal laws and regulations.

This amount was calculated by the City's consulting engineer. The actual costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.

The City is required to deposit adequate funds into an escrow account before year end to meet postclosure care costs for the following year. During the year ended September 30, 1992, the City established an escrow subaccount within the City's pooled cash system for this purpose.

Electric Power Agreements Crystal River Unit No. 3 Participation Agreement The City is a participant in an agreement with Florida Power Corporation. Under terms of the agreement, the City acquired a 0.8244% ownership interest and generation entitlement share in the nuclear steam electric generating unit. Participants are entitled to energy output of the unit based upon their respective generation entitlement share.

Florida Power Corporation has been appointed by the participants to act as their agent and has sole authority to manage, control, maintain and operate the unit. Operating costs of the unit, in general, are shared in proportion to each generation entitlement share on a monthly basis.

Common and external facilities of the generating unit are solely owned by Florida Power Corporation, and participants share in the operating and maintenance expenses of such facilities.

The participation agreement provides for reversion of the ownership interest of the unit to Florida Power Corporation upon retirement from service. The book value of the investment included in utility plant in service on September 30, 2002, was $1,327,536.

Florida Municipal Power Agency The City is a member of FMPA. FMPA was created pursuant to Chapter 163, Parts I and II ("The Interlocal Act" and "The Joint Power Act") to, among other things, provide a means for the Florida municipal corporations to cooperate with each other to provide for their present and projected energy needs. The City has limited oversight authority over the operation of FMPA. This oversight is manifested in the appointment of one member to the 28-member Board of Directors of FMPA. Furthermore, the City, by agreement, has no equity interest in any of the assets owned by FMPA. The City participates in the following FMPA projects:

  • St. Lucie No. 2 Power Purchase Agreement The City, through FMPA, has negotiated an agreement with Florida Power and Light Corporation guaranteeing the City the right to purchase up to 2.326 megawatts of generating capacity from the St. Lucie No. 2 nuclear generating plant. This plant became operational in 1984.

The cost of this agreement has been capitalized and is being amortized over the plant's expected useful life.

  • All-Requirement Power Supply Agreement The City has an agreement with FMPA whereby the City is purchasing its electric power from FMPA on an all-requirement basis. The agreement will remain in effect until October 1, 2020, with two optional successive ten-year renewal periods. Power rates charged to the City by FMPA are subject to a majority vote of the Board of Directors of FMPA.

Other Pension Plan Information The annual required contribution for the current year was determined as part of the October 1, 2001, actuarial valuation for the GERP and MPRP using the entry age actuarial cost method.

The MFRP annual required contributions were determined using the aggregate actuarial cost method. The actuarial cost method does not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities. The actuarial assumptions include an 8.0% rate of return on investments for all plans. Projected salary increase for the GERP, MPRP and MFRP was 5.50%, 6.50% and 6.00%, respectively. The assumptions did not include postretirement benefit increases.

The actuarial value of assets was determined using market value for all plans. The excess of the actuarial value of assets over the actuarial accrued liabilities is being amortized using the level dollar, closed method for the GERP and MPRP. The remaining amortization period at October 1, 2001, was between 17 and 30 years for both plans. Because the NPO is negative, it has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 10 - Self-Insurance Fund Employee Health Insurance Fund The City maintains a self-insurance program for the payment of employee health and medical claims. The program provides for the payment of City and employee contributions into a self-insurance fund, which is managed by the City and its administrative agent. Employee claims up to $75,000 per person are paid from the assets of the self-insurance fund; claims in excess of $75,000, up to a maximum of $1,925,000 per employee per year, are paid from a reinsurance policy purchased by the City.

Workers' Compensation Insurance Fund The City maintains a self-insurance program for the payment of employee workers' compensation claims. The program provides for City contributions into a self-insurance fund which is managed by the City and its administrative agent. Employee claims up to $400,000 per occurrence are paid from the assets of the self-insurance fund with amounts in excess of

$400,000 per occurrence being paid from a reinsurance policy purchased by the City.

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 12 - Deferred Compensation Fund The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation plan is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.

In October 1997, the GASB issued Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457Deferred Compensation Plans. This statement allows the employer to not report the assets and liabilities in their financial statements if the employer has met the new criteria of the Internal Revenue Code Section 457 and does not retain fiduciary accountability for the plan assets. During 1997, the City amended its deferred compensation plan to reflect the changes in the Internal Revenue Code and, in the opinion of management, does not retain fiduciary accountability for plan assets.

Accordingly, the City has implemented GASB Statement No. 32, and no longer includes the assets and liabilities of the deferred compensation fund in its financial statements. There is no effect on the City's overall fund balance or retained earnings, as the plan was an agency fund in which plan assets equals liabilities.

It is the opinion of the City that the City has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City believes that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.

Note 13 - Contingencies and Commitments The City participates in a number of state and federal grant programs. These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. The audits of these programs as of and including the year ended September 30, 2002, have not yet been accepted/approved by the grantors.

Accordingly, the final determination of the City's compliance with applicable grant requirements will be established at a future date. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

The City is defending several claims and judgements arising from the normal course of business. The City expects to prevail in these matters; however, the final outcomes have not yet been determined. In addition, the City is involved in a claim related to the construction of a wastewater plant. The ultimate outcome of this matter should not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

CITY OF LEESBURG, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 14 - Risk Management The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the City carries commercial insurance. Insurance against losses are provided for the following types of risk:

  • General and Automobile Liability
  • Commercial Property Damage
  • Contractors' Equipment
  • Crime The City is self-insured for workers' compensation and employee health as explained in note 10. Amounts of settlements, if any, have not exceeded insurance coverage for each of the past three years.

Note 15 - Postemployment Benefits In addition to the pension benefits described in note 9, the City provides postretirement health care benefits, in accordance with City ordinance, to all employees who retire from the City.

Employees retiring between the age of 50 and 58 may remain in the City's plan and pay all premium costs. Employees retiring on or after attaining age 58 with at least 15 years of service remain in the plan with all employee premiums paid by the City. Retirees reaching the age of 65 with less than 15 years of service pay 50% of the premiums for a Medicare supplement. In all cases, the retiree is responsible to pay dependent care premiums.

Expenses for postretirement health care benefits are recognized as retirees report claims and include a provision of estimated claims incurred, but not reported. During the year, expenses of $372,188 were recognized for postretirement health care, which were offset by $159,961 of retiree premiums paid. Currently, there are 61 retirees that the City continues to pay health insurance premiums for and 46 who are responsible for all or one-half of their premiums as discussed above.

Note 16 - Commitments As of September 30, 2002, the City had the following commitments related to significant unfinished construction projects:

STATISTICAL SECTION Statistical schedules differ from financial statements because they usually cover more than one fiscal year and may present non-accounting data.

These schedules reflect social and economic data and financial trends of the City of Leesburg, Florida, and are designed to give the reader insights into the financial position of the City of Leesburg not readily apparent from the financial statements.

The schedule entitled "Computation of Legal Debt Margin," which is recommended for inclusion in the Comprehensive Annual Financial report by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, is not included within this report inasmuch as no legal debt margin has been established for the City of Leesburg pursuant to the Constitution of the State of Florida, Florida Statutes, City ordinances or other laws applicable to the City of Leesburg.

STATISTICAL SECTION (Unaudited)

Statistical data are presented to provide greater detailed information than reported in the preceding general purpose financial statements. This information in many cases has been spread throughout the report and is brought together here for greater clarity. Statistical data are not necessary for fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The City has had no general obligation debt outstanding during the past ten years.

Company INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Honorable City Commission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Leesburg, Florida (the City), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated January 24, 2003. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting.

Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the intemal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters inVolving the internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to the City Commission in a separate letter dated January 24, 2003.

Company INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT Honorable City Conunission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida Compliance We have audited the compliance of the City of Leesburg, Florida (the City) with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2002. The City's major federal programs and state financial assistance projects are identified in the summary of audit results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs and state financial assistance projects is the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program and state financial assistance projects occurred. An audit includes exarnining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs and state financial assistance projects for the year ended September 30, 2002.

Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.

Honorable City Commission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT (Concluded)

Internal Control Over Compliance (Concluded)

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or state financial assistance project in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General.

Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major federal program or state financial assistance project being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Company INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON EXAMINATION OF MANAGEMENT'S ASSERTION ABOUT COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIED REQUIREMENTS Honorable City Commission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida We have examined management's assertion included in its representation letter dated January 24, 2003, that the City of Leesburg, Florida (the City) complied with the allowable cost requirements of the grants and aids appropriations identified in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance for the year ended September 30, 2002. Management is responsible for the City's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the City's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the City complied with the allowable cost requirements of the grants and aids appropriations identified in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Commission, management, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Company MANAGEMENT LETER COMMENTS Honorable City Commission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida During the course of our audit, the following item came to our attention. These items involve primarily operational matters which, if improved, will result in more efficient and effective operations:

Prior Year Recommendation Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 The GASB has issued Statement No. 34, which becomes effective for the 2003 fiscal year end and will radically change the financial reporting process previously followed by the City of Leesburg, Florida (the City). The City has anticipated implementation and has addressed a number of critical issues; however, the most significant task remaining to be completed is the inventory and valuation of the previously unrecorded infrastructure of the City. We anticipate this will be a joint process involving the City's Engineering Department and an external consulting engineer. With the effective date of implementation fast approaching, we recommend that the City review its current timetable to ensure this important task is completed within the time frame necessary to ensure a smooth implementation of the new standard.

Current Year Recommendations Bulk Power Cost Adjustment The City's electric fund will be experiencing higher than normal purchased power costs during 2003, as a result of higher natural gas and oil prices being experienced by the electric generation plants that supply the City's power. As a result, the City will have to monitor its Bulk Power Cost Adjustment closely to ensure that all purchased power costs incurred are properly passed on to the City's customers. Because of unusual volatility of expected fuel costs, failure to recover all power costs incurred could have a severely negative impact on the working capital of the electric fund. We recommend that the City work closely with its purchased power supplier (FMPA) to forecast upcoming costs and adjust the monthly Bulk Power Cost Adjustment factor accordingly.

Honorable City Commission City of Leesburg Leesburg, Florida MANAGENENT LETTER COMMENTS (Concluded)

Current Year Recommendations (Concluded)

Pension Plans All three of the City's employee retirement plans have experienced significant depreciation in the fair value of their investment portfolio's over the past couple of years as a result of the poor performance of the financial markets. Because the funded status of all three plans was good prior to the decline, the plans remain relatively strong, with plan assets exceeding the actuarial accrued liability of each plan.

However, continued investment deterioration could reverse this relationship and require significant increases in future City contributions to the plans. Accordingly, we recommend that the City consult with an independent investment manager to determine if a more defensive investment posture is prudent under current market conditions.

Travel Reinbursement Rates A recent Attorney General Opinion (AGO) reversed a previously issued AGO that allowed municipalities, through the use of the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, to enact travel and per diem rates separate from those found in Section 112.016, Florida Statutes, which regulates travel for other state public agencies.

The apparent effect of this new AGO is to require municipalities to follow the rates found in the statute, which may require amendment of existing travel policies. Accordingly, we recommend that the City consult with its legal counsel to determine the effect of the new AGO on the City's current travel policies.

Grants Administrator The City is the recipient of many different federal and state grants that have been of great benefit. To ensure the continued high level of compliance with grant requirements that the City has established to-date, we recommend that the City consider creation of a grants administrator position within the Finance and Accounting Department.

These management letter comnents are intended solely for the information and use of the City Commission, management, the State of Florida, and other governmental agencies, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the courtesies which have been extended to our staff. If you have any questions or comments about the contents of this letter, or the information accompanying this letter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

commendations

1.

Bulk Power Cost Adjustment (BPCA)

As of September 30, 2002, the balance available in the deferred revenue accountgrewto$1,134,101. FloridaMunicipalPowerAgency(FMPA)has passed on to us projected rate increases for April and August 2003, which will be used to consider the BPCA rate in the coming months. This rate will be adjusted monthly as'necessary and will continue to be monitored throughout the year by staff.

2.

Pension Plans During the upcoming fiscal year, the'City will consider improvements in the

-_general employees pension plan-to protect current investments.- The Police and Fire Pension plans have their own boards, but will be advised of this comment.

3.--

Travel Reimbursement Rates-The City will contact the City Attorney to determine the effect of the AGO opinion on our current policy, established by Code of Ordinances Section 2-227, and any future amendments to that ordinance.

4.

Grants Administrator This position would only enhance the quality of reporting to grant agencies to ensure compliance and will be considered in the fiscal year 2003-04 budget process.- It is unlikely, however,'that the City will be able to add any additional positions in the near future in light of the general economy, the limitation on state and local revenues caused by reduced tourism, and the tight budget conditions currently being experienced.

1.

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 As noted by our auditors, the City agrees that the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 34, effective September 30, 2003 will dramatically affect the presentation of financial information, including, but not limited to, basic financial statements, both government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements, notes to the financial statements, the required supplementary information, and management's discussion and analysis.

The critical issue, "inventory and valuation of previously unrecorded infrastructure assets (i.e., roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, and drainage systems), is on schedule for completion by September 30, 2003.

The bid was let and the committee consisting of engineering and accounting met to select the consultant. Once the Commission approves the contract, the project should take 12 weeks to complete. The City will schedule the auditors to participate in the first strategy meeting with the consultant to determine the approach to this requirement.

As always, should you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me.
