Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s discussion and analysis is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on
significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the City’s financial activity, (c) identify
changes in the City’s financial position, (d) identify any material deviations from the financial
plan, and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns. Readers are encouraged to consider
the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished
in our letter of transmittal in the Introductory Section of the report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City of Cocoa Beach exceeded its liabilities as of September 30, 2011 by
$ 61,376,494 (net assets). Of this amount, $ 11,191,200 (unrestricted net assets) may be
used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City’s total net assets were increased by $ 1,173,186 over the FY 2010 ending balance
of $ 60,203,308. The increase was shared between governmental activities ($ 744,879) and
business-type activities ($ 428,307).
At September 30, 2011, the City of Cocoa Beach’s governmental fund balance sheet
reported a combined ending fund balances of $ 11,129,580, an increase of $ 93,437 from
the FY 2010 ending fund balance of $ 11,036,143. Of this amount, $ 5,691,311 remains in
the General Fund of the City as unassigned fund balance.
The General Fund reported a total fund balance of $ 9,892,144 at year end, a decrease from
last fiscal year of $ 20,070. The ending fund balance in FY 2010 was $ 9,912,214.
Total external debt decreased $ 410,478 in fiscal year 2011.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Recommendations to make streetscape improvements in the downtown area are under
consideration. The voters authorized the establishment of a community redevelopment area
(CRA) for downtown on January 29, 2008. A formal budget was approved in FY 2011 and
tax increment financing should be in the FY 2014 budget.
A construction contract for the Ocean Beach Boulevard project was awarded in FY 2010.
This multi-year project began in FY 2006. We received grant funding from several agencies
and this complex project was completed in FY 2011.
A dredging project for the 400 Channel was approved by the Army Corps of Engineers and
was partially funded by a grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND). This
project was completed in FY 2011.
A multi-year dredging project for the 200 Channel with a projected cost in excess of one
million ($ 1,000,000) dollars was approved in late FY 2011. The initial phase, spoil site
permitting and preparation, is underway. We expect virtually all project costs to be eligible
for grant funding by FIND and those grants to reimburse fifty (50%) percent of the project
costs.
5
Improvements are underway to enhance a five (5) acre property acquired in 2001 for
conservation purposes. The design includes a one (1) acre alum-enhanced pond and will
also include a nature trail and passive recreation features. The pond is complete and the
site plan review for the other features is also complete. The project is now scheduled for
completion in FY 2012, pending notice of receipt of grant funding. This facility will assist in
handling stormwater runoff in the area and from State Road A1A. Funding includes
reimbursable grants from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, St Johns
River Water Management District and the Florida Department of Transportation.
A roadway project involving upgrades and improvements to the median strip on state road
520 has been approved and will be partially funded by a grant from the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT). This project should be completed in FY 2012.
The wastewater facility plan is a multi-year project with an estimated cost of about eighteen
million ($ 18,000,000) dollars. See notes to financial statements (Note O) for more details.
Overview of the Financial Statements. This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as
an introduction to the City of Cocoa Beach’s basic financial statements. The basic financial
statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2)
fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are
designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances in a manner similar to a
private-sector business. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City’s
assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time,
increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as
the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will
result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused
vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges to external users (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the
City include general government, planning and zoning, public safety, transportation, sanitation,
street and park maintenance, public improvements and recreation. The business-type activities
of the City include a golf course, wastewater treatment/reuse and stormwater management.
The government-wide financial statements include only the City of Cocoa Beach itself (the
primary government). The Cocoa Beach Public Library is funded through the Brevard County
Free Public Library District, a separate taxing authority and is not included under the reporting
entity definition in the City’s financial statements.
6
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City
of Cocoa Beach, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of
Cocoa Beach can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may
be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
During FY 2011, the City of Cocoa Beach maintained three (3) individual governmental funds.
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the
General Fund which is a major fund. Since the Metered Parking Fund and Confiscated Property
Fund are not considered to be major funds, data from those funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. The City of Cocoa Beach adopts an annual appropriated budget for
its governmental funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General
Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary funds. This category of funds includes both enterprise and internal service funds.
However, the City does not use internal service funds. The City does maintain three (3) funds
which are considered enterprise funds. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its golf
course, waste collection/disposal/reuse water system, and stormwater management system.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Golf
Course Fund, Utilities System Fund, and Stormwater Management Fund, each of which are
considered to be major funds of the City.
7
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide
financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s
programs. The City has three (3) pension (General Employees, Police, & Firefighters) trust
funds, and an OPEB trust fund. Financial information for these funds is provided in the notes to
the financial statements.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential
to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial
statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The government-wide financial report represents the approach mandated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). GASB sets the uniform standards for presenting
government financial reports.
As noted earlier, net
assets may serve over
time
as
a
useful
indicator
of
a
government’s financial
position. In the case of
the City of Cocoa
Beach, net assets were
$ 61,376,494 at the
close of the most recent
fiscal year.
This is a $ 1,173,186
increase in net assets
over the $60,203,308
reported in FY 2010.

FY 2010
Governmental
The City’s net assets totaled $ 61,376,494 at the end of FY 2011. The largest portion of the
City’s net assets reflects the investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, and
equipment). Although the City’s investment in its capital assets ($ 49,874,233) (81% of total net
assets) is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be
used to liquidate these liabilities. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

An additional portion of the City of Cocoa Beach’s net assets, $ 311,061 (less than one percent)
represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The
remaining balance of unrestricted net assets ($ 11,191,200) (18%) may be used to meet the
government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors within the respective governmental
and business-type activities.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cocoa Beach is able to report positive balances
in all three (3) categories of net assets as a whole and individually within the governmental and
business type activities.
The following display of Changes in Net Assets shows the governmental and business-type
activities during the fiscal year. The increase in net assets resulted primarily from reductions in
non-current liabilities and a proactive approach to limit expenditures in the face of declining
revenues.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF COCOA BEACH’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City of Cocoa Beach uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The City uses two governmental (General & Special Revenue) fund
types. The purpose of governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2011, the
City
of
Cocoa
Beach’s
governmental funds reported a
combined fund balance of
$ 11,129,580, an increase of
$ 93,437 from the prior year
balance of $ 11,036,143.
The General Fund is the chief
operating fund of the City. As
of September 30, 2011, total
fund balance in the General
Fund was $ 9,892,144 of
which $ 5,691,311 was
unassigned. As a measure of
liquidity, a comparison of total
and unassigned fund balances
to total expenditures for FY
2011 ($ 18,235,599) & FY
2010 ($ 16,754,766) shows
percentages of 31.2% and
32.4%,
respectively
for
unassigned fund balance.

Note:FY 2010 fund balance restated for comparative purposes.
The increase in fund balance referenced above is due primarily to the completion of the Ocean
Beach project and receipt of all grant funds associated with this project.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights. A budget to actual statement is provided for the
General Fund. A budget column for both the original budget adopted for fiscal year 2011 as
well as the final budget is presented. A comparison of the original budget to the final budget for
current expenditures shows a final difference of $ 1,658,186. The major portion of the
difference is attributed to the carry over and re-appropriation of incomplete FY 2010 capital
projects ($ 1,814,581) to FY 2011.
11
Special Revenue Funds.
Special Revenue Funds account for specific revenues and
expenditures. The entire fund balance of the Metered Parking Fund is considered committed
fund balance and it increased $ 109,622 from the prior year. The primary reason for the
increase is the meter fee and meter fine increases authorized in FY 2010. Committed fund
balances are budgeted to replace and upgrade the parking meters, replace dune crossovers,
replace police vehicles and the Maritime Hammock Preserve loan payment. See the notes
(Note F) to the financial statements for a detailed discussion of these transfers.
The entire fund balance of the Confiscated Property Fund is considered restricted fund balance
because it can only be used for special purchases for law enforcement purposes. It increased
by $ 3,885 to $ 205,435 for FY 2011.
Proprietary funds. The City currently uses one of the two (Enterprise & Internal Service)
types of proprietary funds, and provides the same type of information found in the governmentwide financial statements, but in more detail.
Enterprise Funds. At September 30, 2011, total net assets amounted to $ 33,718,998 for
enterprise funds as compared to $33,290,691 at September 30, 2010. Net asset changes are a
result of operations, investment earnings, capital contributions and transfers in the Golf Course,
Utilities System and Stormwater Management Funds.
The net operating income (loss) for all of the enterprise funds for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 is
as follows:

The operating income in the Utilities System was $ 286,821 greater than FY 2010 primarily due
to a midyear rate increase. A reduction in electrical costs accounted for the remainder of the
increase. These cost reductions are attributed to a continuing decline (i.e. lower fuel adjustment
charges) in rates and the installation of some energy efficient technology in the plant.
The operating loss of the Golf Course decreased $ 38,432 in FY 2011. The re-greening project
is complete. Play has still not returned to historical levels, in part because the economy has
reduced play on all Brevard County public courses, and in part because our usual players have
not returned to our course. However, the Golf Course rate structure must be addressed to
provide adequate revenues. The current system of tying rates to CPI increases is not adequate
to cover increasing operating costs. A workshop was held February 8, 2012 and the staff will be
bringing forward some specific measures to address the situation.
The Stormwater Management operating income increase of $ 16,335 results from increased
analysis work, specifically the identification of unbilled and underbilled accounts.

Major governmental acquisitions included the completion of the Ocean Beach Blvd., 400
Channel, and the Orlando Avenue projects. The major acquisition for the business-type
activities was also the Ocean Beach Blvd. project. This very complex project was completed
and all associated grant funding was received in FY 2011.
The City annually updates a five (5) year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and forecasts
the funding requirements for necessary equipment and facilities. These requirements, as well
as projected costs of operations and maintenance, are compared and adjusted based on
forecasted sources of funding over that timeframe. Additional information on the City’s capital
assets can be found in the notes (Note G) to the financial statements.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Long-term Debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cocoa Beach had total longterm debt of $ 3,880,852.
The City is participating in the State of Florida Revolving Loan Program. These are low interest,
twenty (20) year loans. The initial loan was for the Utilities System’s share of the construction of
new Public Works and Utilities facilities and has an outstanding balance of $ 3,520,852. A
second loan for the utilities facility upgrades has been approved. See the notes to the financial
statements (Note O) for additional information.
During the 2003 fiscal year, the City obtained a ten (10) year bank note secured by a covenant
to budget and appropriate non-ad valorem funds for the purpose of purchasing property for
preservation. The principal outstanding on the bank note at the end of the current fiscal year
was $ 360,000. This note retires in FY 2013.

financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City’s elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the fiscal year
2012 budget, tax rates, and fees to be charged for the business-type activities. In the past few
years, the City has obligated significant dollars on street resurfacing, new public works facilities
and property purchases. The City has also managed to accumulate an acceptable level of
unassigned reserves. Bordering the ocean, the City wishes to hold reserve balances sufficient
for those immediate expenditures associated with hurricanes, as well as expenditures required
to maintain normal operations. Although a substantial portion of hurricane expenditures are
typically reimbursed, this practice is considered necessary to avoid disruptions in operations.
Since the City is effectively built-out, new construction is not expected to produce large annual
increases in property tax receipts. It is important to the City’s future that property tax revenues
be maintained or increase from year-to-year because it the largest component of the General
Fund’s annual revenues. In addition, other revenues are not likely to increase significantly and
since some of those sources (e. g. state shared revenues, grants) are beyond the City’s control,
property taxes were the most promising source of future funding. The Great Recession has
reversed this trend. Developing new revenue sources and increasing existing ones are of
increasing importance.
Although the City is challenged by increased costs for employee benefits (primarily health
insurance, workers compensation and pension contributions), it does not face demands to add
personnel in order to extend current levels of service into new areas. Staffing levels are now
at the levels of a decade ago and we have reached the point at which budget problems cannot
be solved by further staff attrition.
The five (5) year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) always presumes that operations and
capital replacements are expected to be sufficiently funded without having to increase the ad
valorem tax rate. We will have a real opportunity to test this presumption in the coming years.
The City’s Golf Course enterprise fund continues to be challenged to sustain its operations and
cover necessary equipment replacements. The high salt content in the area is extremely
damaging to the equipment used for maintenance and funding the maintenance expense and
replacement costs is an ongoing burden. The course has been re-greened with a salt-resistant
grass and hopefully play will recover as the economy improves. The City has constructed a
garage for equipment storage to aid in mitigating the salt issue and selectively purchases used
equipment to lower capital costs.
14
The twenty seven (27) hole golf course is already actively used, particularly in the busy winter
season, so strategies to increase play are marginally helpful, not a solution. The improvements
and purchasing practices mentioned in the preceding paragraph are also helpful, but do not
produce immediate, dramatic results.
The City Commission acted during 2005 to increase the rates and build in an automatic
increase each year based on the consumer price index (CPI). However, the costs above are
not linked to the CPI, so a rate increase above the CPI will be required in the very near (i.e. FY
2012 – FY 2013) future. We are also exploring alternate approaches (e.g. corporate
sponsorships, structural rate changes) to expand the revenue stream.
The Utilities System enterprise fund is in a similar situation. Environmental standards for
discharges into the Indian River Lagoon have become stricter. We commissioned a
comprehensive study in FY 2008 to address specific capital replacements and upgrades
required to meet the new discharge requirements schedule. We enacted a rate increase of
twenty-five (25%) over three (3) years (i.e. 6.7% per year) to secure the necessary debt service
for capital items, as well as cover increased costs of operations and the new regulatory
requirements. See the notes to the financial statements (Note O) for additional information.
Forecasts for the Stormwater Management enterprise fund show that large capital
improvements will have to be funded using grants or loans. Revenues are not sufficient to fund
both operations and capital projects of any size. In addition to the budgetary challenges facing
the Stormwater Fund, federal Clean Water Act legislation concerning the Total Maximum Daily
Loads (TMDL) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) programs are
unfunded mandates upon local government and require extensive staff resource time and effort.
Operating costs continue to rise, so a rate increase will be required in the near future. We
estimate a rate increase in FY 2013 or FY 2014.
Staffing is provided by this Fund to operate a canal dredging program, which helps the water
quality and improves boat navigation in the City’s canal system. A portion of the dredging
expense considered to be transportation related is billed to the Metered Parking Fund. We have
currently suspended the dredging program.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the City’s budget for the 2012 fiscal year. The
FY 2012 millage rate is 5.024, the rollback rate. This produces the same ad valorem tax
revenue as the previous year and therefore is not a tax increase. See the economic outlook
section of the letter of transmittal for additional details regarding economic conditions.

A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Reporting entity
The City of Cocoa Beach, Florida (the City) is a political subdivision of the State of Florida and is
located in Brevard County. The City was incorporated in 1925 and has a Commission/City
Manager form of government. The City Commission consists of a Mayor and four (4)
Commissioners responsible for establishing policies and enacting ordinances and resolutions.
They are elected at large. The City Commission appoints the City Manager who is responsible for
the daily administration of the City’s operations.
The Cocoa Beach Public Library is funded through the Brevard County Free Public Library District,
a separate taxing authority. The City Commissioners appoint an advisory Library Board that has
authority to propose budget recommendations to the County and provide input in the selection of a
library director. The Library’s actual budget is approved and funded by Brevard County and all its
personnel are governed by the policies and procedures of Brevard County. The Cocoa Beach
Public Library is therefore not a component unit of the City.
The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the
more significant policies of the City.
2. Government-wide and fund financial statements
The government-wide financial statements consist of a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of
Activities. These statements report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary
government as a whole. As part of the consolidation process, all interfund activities are eliminated
from these statements, except for the residual amounts between governmental and business-type
activities reported as “internal balances.” Net assets, the difference between assets and liabilities,
as presented in the Statement of Net Assets, are categorized as follows:
a. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt; - the portion of net assets which are
associated with capital assets, less outstanding capital assets related debt, net of
unspent bond and loan proceeds.
b. Restricted net assets - have third party (statutory, bond covenant or granting agency)
limitations on their use, or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net assets - have no third party limitations on their use.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between the direct and indirect expenses of a
given function or segment and its program revenues, and displays the extent to which each function
or segment contributes to the change in net assets for the fiscal year. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable to a specific function or segment. Indirect expenses are costs the City
has allocated to functions through various allocation methods. Program revenues consist of
charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions.

A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2. Government-wide and fund financial statements (continued)
Charges for services refer to amounts received from those who purchase, use, or directly benefit
from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment. Grants and
contributions consist of revenues that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Revenues not classified as program revenues are
reported as general revenues.
Separate fund financial statements report detailed information about the City's governmental,
proprietary and fiduciary funds. The focus of governmental and proprietary fund financial
statements is on major funds. Therefore, major funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements and non-major funds are aggregated and presented as a single column on
each statement. The results of governmental fund accounting are converted to the governmentwide presentation by reconciliation.
Generally, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the City’s
utilities and stormwater management systems and various other functions of the government.
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
3. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation
The government-wide financial statements, as well as the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial
statements, are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses are recognized when
a liability is incurred. Property tax revenues are recognized in the year for which they are levied.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider have been met.
All governmental fund financial statements are reported using a current financial resources
measurement focus on a modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the current period. Available is defined as collectible within the current
period, or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period, usually
considered sixty (60) days.
The primary revenue sources for governmental funds are property taxes, public utility taxes,
franchise fees, and sales and fuel taxes. Primary revenue sources associated with the current
fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of
the current fiscal period. All other revenues, such as licenses and permits, charges for services,
and miscellaneous revenues, are considered to be measurable and available only when payment is
received.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
Expenditures of governmental funds are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under
accrual accounting. However, accumulated sick and vacation pay, prepaid insurance and similar
items, and principal and interest on long-term debt are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary funds distinguish between operating and non-operating revenues and expenses.
Operating revenues generally result from producing and delivering goods or providing services,
such as water, sewer and garbage services, to the public. Operating expenses for these operations
include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation. All revenues
and expenses not meeting the definition of operating are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and the proprietary fund financial statements to
the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Governments also have the option of following subsequent
private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same
limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
Major funds are those whose assets, revenues, expenditures and liabilities are at least ten (10%)
percent of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least five (5%)
percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds for the same item.
The following are major governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in
other funds.
The following are major enterprise funds:
Utilities System Fund - The Utilities System Fund accounts for the provision of sewer and
water reuse services to City residents and some county areas.
Golf Course Fund - The Golf Course Fund accounts for the activities of the municipal golf
course.
Stormwater Management Fund - The Stormwater Management Fund accounts for the
provision of stormwater drainage services to the residents of the City.

A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
3. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
Fiduciary Funds report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and therefore cannot
be used to support the government’s own programs.
The following are trust or agency funds:
Trust Funds - The three (3) pension trust funds account for the accumulation of resources to be
used for pension payments to retiring general employees, police officers, and firefighters of the
City. The OPEB trust fund accounts for the accumulation of resources that are used for
payments of retirement benefits other than pensions.
Agency Fund - The agency fund accounted for the collection and payment of utility deposits. It
has been closed. See Note P for details.
4. Cash and cash equivalents
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits,
and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the
date of acquisition. The City maintains centralized checking accounts for all funds (except
fiduciary funds).
Cash equivalents, including those classified as restricted assets include pooled investments
with the Florida State Board of Administration’s (SBA) Local Government Surplus Trust Fund,
which, at September 30, 2011, were earning interest at approximately 0.30%. The SBA is
under the regulatory oversight of the State of Florida and has adopted and met the criteria for a
“2a-7 like” pool as defined in GASB Statement No. 31, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.” This pool consists primarily of U.S.
government and government guaranteed instruments, U.S. Agency obligations, U.S. Corporate
obligations, certificates of deposit, certain repurchase agreements, bankers’ acceptances,
commercial paper, asset backed securities and variable rate securities. The pool’s investments
are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
5. Investments
The City’s investment activities are governed by Chapter 218.415 Florida Statutes. In
accordance with this statute, the City may invest any surplus funds in (a) The Local Government
Surplus Funds Trust Fund (State Board of Administration); (b) Securities and Exchange
Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a
nationally recognized rating agency; (c) interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in
qualified public depositories; (d) direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and (e) federal agencies
and instrumentalities. Securities listed in (c) and (d) must be invested to provide sufficient
liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. The City has adopted a formal investment policy
in compliance with Florida Statutes.
Investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value during the year are included in
investment income or loss.

September 30, 2011
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
6. Receivables and payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (the current portion of
interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (the non-current portion of interfund loans). All
other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported
in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a
nonspendable fund balance account in the applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are
not available for appropriation and are not expendable available resources.
Trade receivables consist of account balances less than thirty (30) days overdue. Account
balances exceeding thirty (30) days overdue are written off and sent to a collection agency.
Therefore, all trade receivables reported are deemed collectible.
7. Inventory
Inventory is stated at cost, which approximates fair value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory
costing method. Inventory in governmental funds is recorded as an expenditure when purchased.
8. Prepayments and deposits
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. These amounts are offset
by a nonspendable fund balance account, which indicates that they do not constitute available
resources.
9. Restricted assets
Certain assets of the City’s enterprise funds are classified as restricted assets on the statement of
net assets because their use is limited by applicable legal restrictions. The restrictions are for the
following:
SRF Loan Repayment Reserve (Clean Water State Revolving Loan) (see Note J for
additional information)
Confiscated Property (see Note J for additional information)

A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
10. Property and equipment
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, infrastructure, improvements, and equipment, are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost
of more than one thousand ($1,000) dollars and an estimated useful life exceeding one year. The
cost of improvements and replacements, which extend the useful lives of assets or increase their
capacity, are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs, which do not improve or extend the
useful life of the respective assets, are charged to expense.
Property and equipment purchased by the City is stated at cost or, if contributed, estimated fair
market value at the date of contribution.
Capital assets use straight-line depreciation over the following estimated service lives:
Classification
Infrastructure
Buildings and building improvements
Improvements other than buildings
Machinery, furniture and equipment
Service Life Ranges
30 - 50 years
40 years
10 - 15 years
3 - 5 years
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are commissioned.
For individual proprietary funds, interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The amount of interest to be
capitalized is calculated using the weighted average of construction expenditures multiplied by the
interest rate on the debt.
11. Compensated absences
The City permits employees to accumulate earned but unused “paid-time-off” (PTO) rather than sick
and vacation leave, as was formerly used. Employees with previously accrued balances of sick or
vacation time have been compensated. All previously accrued sick leave and vacation time was
eliminated in FY 2009. Upon termination PTO is paid in full but limited to four hundred eighty (480)
hours. PTO is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. In governmental funds, a liability for these amounts is reported only if the PTO has
matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. See Note I for
additional information.

A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
12. Long-term liabilities
Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the government-wide
financial statements for both governmental and business type activities and in the individual
proprietary fund statements. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are
deferred and systematically amortized over the term of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net
of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges
and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as an “other financing” source. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other
financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
Issuance costs are reported as debt service expenditures. Losses incurred on refunding debt in
Proprietary Funds is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the new issue or the
remaining life of the refunded issue. Only material amounts of accrued interest are recorded in the
financial statements.
13. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, fund balance classifications are:
Non-Spendable Fund Balance
Represents components not in spendable form and legally or contractually required to be
maintained intact. Examples are inventories, prepaid expenditures, long term portion of notes
receivable, property acquired for resale and unrealized gains.
Restricted Fund Balance
Represents spending constraints externally imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation or by agreements with creditors, grantors, or other governments
Committed Fund Balance
Represents amounts that have internally imposed restrictions mandated by the government’s
highest level of decision-making authority (i.e. City Commission).
Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts constrained by the government’s intent that they will be used for specific purposes, but
are neither restricted nor committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance
Represents amounts that have not been assigned to other funds and that have not been
restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purpose within the general fund

14. Revenues, contributions, expenditures, and expenses
The City’s accounting treatment and recognition policies for certain revenues, expenditures, and
expenses having unique accounting requirements are as follows:
Property taxes
Property taxes are billed November 1st (discounts are available for early payment) for the
calendar year beginning January 1st. Taxes are due March 1st and become delinquent on April
1st and tax certificates on all property on which taxes are delinquent are sold at the end of May
of each year. Property taxes are considered fully collected (i.e. 96% of the levy) during and
prior to the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, no material amounts of property taxes are
receivable.
Administrative Service Charges
Administrative services are provided to certain enterprise fund and special revenue fund
activities by various departments within the general fund. These charges are recorded as
revenues in the general fund and as operating expenses in the fund being charged.
Grants
Operating and capital grants for both governmental and proprietary funds are recorded as
receivables and revenues at the time that eligible (reimbursable) project costs are incurred.
Grant revenues received in advance of meeting all eligibility criteria are deferred.
B - RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental funds balance sheet and the
government-wide statement of net assets
The governmental funds balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance-total
governmental funds and net assets-governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of net assets.
An element of that reconciliation explains that “long-term liabilities, including OPEB obligation
payable, are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the
funds.” The details of this difference are as follows:

2. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental funds statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances and government-wide statement of activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances
includes reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and
changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of
activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that “governmental funds report capital
outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.” The details of
this difference are as follows:
Capital outlays and transfers (net - see Note G, paragraph 3)
Depreciation expense
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances - total
governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets - governmental
activities

2,220,549
(1,463,038)
$
757,511
The net adjustment increases net changes in fund balances-total governmental funds
to arrive at changes in net assets-governmental activities
Another element of that reconciliation explains that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds)
provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of
long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of
issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.”
The detail of this difference is as follows:

Another element of that reconciliation states, “some expenses reported in the statement of activities

C - BUDGETS
Budget policy
Annual budgets are prepared for all funds except the following:
The Confiscated Property Special Revenue Fund is not budgeted because its sole purpose is to
account for property confiscated by law enforcement in accordance with State and Federal Law.
The use of these funds is governed by Chapter 932, Florida statutes. Accordingly, these funds
are held in a separate interest bearing account.
The pension and OPEB trust funds are not budgeted because the funds held in these accounts
are in trust for others; however, the City contributions to those funds are budgeted within the
respective departments. See Notes L and M for additional information.
Annual operating budgets are prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Annual budget appropriations lapse at the end of each
fiscal year. Open purchase orders and other commitments are recognized as expenditures in the
period in which the actual goods or services are received and a liability is incurred. Encumbrances
outstanding at year-end for unfulfilled obligations are canceled and appropriated in the succeeding
year’s budget. Such amounts, if material, are disclosed in the notes to financial statements under
“Commitments.”

C - BUDGETS (continued)
Budget policy (continued)
The City Commission pursuant to Article V of the City Charter and state statutes, using the following
procedures, adopts annual operating budgets:
Each department, office or agency of the City submits a work program and budget request
to the Finance Director during March of each year.
The City Manager reviews the departmental requests, conducts workshop sessions and
presents the proposed budget to the City Commission in July of each year.
The City Commission holds a series of budget workshops and public hearings on the
proposed budget and adopts the official annual budget of the City by resolution.
The budgets, as adopted, may be amended through formal approval by the City Commission.
Budgetary integration is established in the accounting records for control purposes at the object of
expenditure level; however, the City Charter establishes the level at which expenditures may not
legally exceed budgeted amounts at the department level. The City’s general governmental
appropriations are budgeted within the general fund as if it were a separate department. Items
making up this legal level of budgetary control include current other general government
expenditures, debt service expenditures and other financing uses. Resolution 2010 - 20 adopted
September 16, 2010 contains budgets for the General Fund and Metered Parking Fund
(governmental funds) as well as the Utilities System Fund, Golf Course Fund, and the Stormwater
Management Fund (enterprise funds). The City Manager may transfer budgeted amounts within a
department, office, or agency of the City without formal approval by the City Commission. The final
budget amounts shown in the financial statements include all amendments as approved during the
year by the City Commission.

Deposits Act (the Act) by maintaining its accounts at a qualified public depository as provided by
Chapter 280 of the Florida Statutes. Under the Act, qualified public depositories must deposit with
the State Treasurer eligible collateral in such amounts as required by the Act. Therefore, all cash
deposits and certificates of deposit held by banks are classified as fully insured.

the City to invest surplus money as provided by Florida Statute 218.415. The investment must be
one of the following authorized types:
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund or any intergovernmental
investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act as
provided in s. 163.01, Florida Statutes.
Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest

to meet the City’s obligations as they come due.
(2) Credit Risk – The City primarily invests in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, Federal
agencies, and the State of Florida local government surplus trust fund pool.

Securities in such accounts, held in the “street name,” are considered held in the name of the City.
(4) Concentration of Credit Risk – No more than fifty (50%) percent of the City’s funds will be
invested with the same issuer, except direct obligations of the United States Treasury. No more than
fifty (50%) percent of the City’s funds will be invested through the same investment institution or
dealer. No more than twenty (20%) percent of the City’s funds will be invested beyond five (5) years
in any security with the same maturity date.
3. Pension fund investment policies
A specific City ordinance created each pension fund. The Board of Trustees for each respective
fund determines investment policies for each of the three (3) pension trust funds.
For each fund, no more than five (5%) percent of fund assets may be invested in the securities (of
whatever type) of any one issuing (this excludes the U. S. Government and its agencies) company.
No investment may exceed five (5%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of any one company.
The aggregate investments in common and capital stock and convertible securities (at cost) may not
exceed sixty-five (65%) percent of the assets of the Police and Fire funds, or sixty (60%) percent of
the assets of the General Employees fund.
Each fund maintains a list of prohibited investment security types. The following investment types
are prohibited:
Futures
Hedge funds
Limited partnerships
Options
Margin accounts
Securities lending
General obligations issued by a foreign government
Bonds issued by a state or municipality
Private equities
Private mortgages
Insurance annuities
Internally managed assets
The investment policies address and mitigate the risk types below as shown:
(1) Interest Rate Risk – The funds’ investment policy requires that the portfolio be structured with
sufficient liquidity to meet the funds’ obligations as they come due.
(2) Credit Risk – The three (3) pension trust funds each hold cash in their respective fund accounts.
To mitigate credit risk, the time, savings and money market deposits of each fund in an institution may
not exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage held by that
institution for those amounts.
(3) Custodial Risk – All cash and securities are held in accounts bearing the name of the respective
fund. Securities in such accounts, even though held in the “street name” are considered held in the
name of the fund. Fund managers are required to carry errors and omissions insurance coverage.

1. Long-term advances to/from other fund
There are five (5) long-term advances outstanding as of September 30, 2011.
a. In 1992, the Utilities System Enterprise Fund made a long-term advance to the Golf Course
Enterprise Fund in the amount of $594,188 for facility upgrades. This advance is being
repaid over a nineteen (19) year period in annual installments plus interest at 3.90% and will
mature in FY 2012.
b. In 2007, the General Fund made a long-term advance to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund in
the amount of $682,126 for the defeasance of the Public Improvement Bonds Series 2002.
This advance is being repaid over a fifteen (15) year period in annual installments including
interest at 4.54% and will mature in FY 2022.
c. In 2007, the Utilities System Enterprise Fund made a long-term advance to the Stormwater

construction phase. This advance is being repaid over a fifteen (15) year period in annual
installments including interest at 5.00% and will mature in FY 2022.
d. In 2009, the problem of salt infiltration of the greens forced a closing of the Golf Course,
which drastically reduced operating revenues. The closure necessitated the advance of
replacement funds by the General Fund to the Golf Course Fund during the year. The loan
with a principal amount of $2,053,374 is being repaid over a forty (40) year period in annual
installments including interest at 2.00% and will mature in FY 2050.

K - RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Property and liability insurance programs
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; injuries to employees, theft of, damage
to and/or destruction of assets, errors and omissions, general liabilities and natural disasters. In
order to limit its exposure to these risks, the City participates in the Florida League of Cities (FLOC)
(a not-for-profit corporation) insurance program for workers’ compensation, general and auto
liability, and property insurance. The FLOC purchases both excess and specific coverages from
third party insurance carriers. Program participants purchase excess and specific coverages and
are not assessed for unanticipated losses incurred by the program. The City has insurance
programs with other carriers for floods, liability insurance for public officials and other specialized
coverages.
Premiums paid by the City during FY 2011 totaled six hundred nine eight hundred forty-two
($609,842) dollars. This is a reduction from $ 649,773 paid in FY 2010. There were no significant
reductions in insurance coverages during FY 2011. The cost reduction may be attributed to a
favorable experience rate for workers’ compensation as well as a realignment of liability coverage
that reflected the results and recommendations of a comprehensive appraisal report prepared in FY
2007. Settled claims have not exceeded commercial excess coverages in any of the past five (5)
years.
2. Hurricane & other event costs, damages and reimbursements
All eligible costs for Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne (2004) and Wilma (2005) have been
reimbursed. Formal closeout documentation for these events is in progress.
Tropical Storm Fay impacted the City in August 2008. A shoreline stabilization and repair project
with a construction value of about two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars is moving through
the approval process required by the various federal and state agencies. All other eligible costs
have been paid.
There were no events in FY 2009, FY 2010 or FY 2011.

L - EMPLOYER RETIREMENT PLANS
The City maintains three (3) contributory single-employer defined benefit pension plans (Plans) as
described below. These Plans are:
City of Cocoa Beach General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund (General Employees)
City of Cocoa Beach Police Officers’ Retirement Trust Fund (Police Employees)
City of Cocoa Beach Firefighters’ Retirement Trust Fund (Fire Employees)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (all Plans)
Basis of Accounting. The Plans’ financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions
are due. Employer contributions to each plan are recognized when due and the employer has
made a formal commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits, refunds and administrative
costs are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of each plan. Onbehalf payments, made by the state totaling $ 88,671 and $ 131,040 for the Police Officers’ and
Firefighters’ plans respectively, were recognized as revenues and expenditures in the general
Fund during the year ended September 30, 2011.
Method Used to Value Investments. Investments are reported at fair value. Short-term
investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national
or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates.
Investments that do not have an established market are reported at estimated fair value.
Presentation of Financial Statements The Plans do not issue stand-alone financial reports and
are not included in the reports of any other entity.
Funding Requirements. At the request of the Division of Retirement, the City is required to fund
the reported percentage of payroll for fiscal years beginning October 1, 2009 instead of a
disclosed dollar requirement.

3. Description of plan benefits - all plans
Plan provisions are established by City ordinance and may be amended by the City Commission.
Each plan provides retirement, death and disability benefits to participating employees. Retirement
benefits vest with the participants based on years of credited service. Employees qualifying for
normal retirements are entitled to a monthly annuity based on a percentage of average
compensation multiplied by the number of years of credited service. Early retirement benefits are
available using reduced benefit formulas. Disability benefits available to employees with ten (10)
years of plan participation provide monthly income (as defined by the respective plan) payable to
normal retirement, death or recovery. In the event of death, the plan provides for a single sum
death benefit equal to the participant’s contribution account on date of death. Optional forms of
benefits are available and may be elected by the employee as provided in the respective plans.
The information presented in the supplementary schedules below was determined as part of the

4. City of Cocoa Beach General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund
Plan description
The General Employees’ Pension Trust Fund (the Plan) covers full-time regular employees of the
City and is administered by a Board composed of the City’s Finance Director (chairman), a City
Commissioner, two (2) general employees (elected by the general employees) and a resident of the
City (selected by the City Commission). The Board’s administrative authority includes, but is not
limited to, eligibility determination for participation in the plan, early and late retirement, disability,
contribution schedules, withdrawals and such investment determination as may be necessary.
Current eligibility requirements provide that regular full-time general employees (not police officers
or firefighters) may participate in the plan.
Funding policy
The City Commission establishes and may amend the contribution requirements of the Plan
members and the City. Employees are required to contribute five (5%) percent of their gross pay to
fund the Plan and the City is required to contribute funds at an actuarially determined rate, as a
percentage of annual covered payroll. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the City’s
contribution rate was 16.03%, which amounted to a required contribution of $ 773,188.
Annual pension costs
The annual required contribution for the current year was determined as a part of the October 1,
2010 actuarial valuation using the frozen entry age actuarial cost method with the initial unfunded
actuarial accrued liability determined by the entry age actuarial cost method and amortization of
unfunded past service liability over a twenty- five (25) year period. The actuarial assumptions
included an eight (8%) percent investment rate of return (net of investment-related expenses) and
projected salary increases of six (6%) percent per year (including inflation at three (3%) percent).
The assumptions did not include post-retirement benefit increases.

with the change in the Net Pension Obligation (NPO), equaled the required contribution.
Annual pension costs
The annual required contribution for the current year was determined as part of the October 1, 2010
actuarial valuation using the frozen entry age actuarial cost method with the initial unfunded
actuarial accrued liability determined by the entry age normal actuarial cost method and
amortization of unfunded past service liability over a thirty (30) year period. The actuarial
assumptions included an eight (8%) percent investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses) and projected salary increases of six (6%) percent per year (including three (3%) percent
inflation). The assumptions do not include post-retirement benefit increases.

M - OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
Effective for the 2009 fiscal year, the City implemented GASB No. 45, Accounting and Financial
Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions, for certain
postemployment benefits provided by the City.
The statement generally requires that state and local governmental employers account for and
report the annual cost of OPEB and the outstanding obligations and commitments related to OPEB
in essentially the same manner as they currently do for pensions.
1. Description of Healthcare Benefits
The post-employment health care benefits are administered by the City pursuant to the
provisions of section 112.0801, Florida Statutes. Former employees and eligible dependents
who retire from the City may continue to participate in the City’s fully insured health and
hospitalization plan for medical coverage.
However, the City subsidizes the premium rates paid by retirees by allowing them to participate
in the plans at reduced or blended group premium rates for both active and retired employees.
These rates provide an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an actuarial basis, their current
and future claims are expected to result in higher costs to the plan on average than those of
active employees. In addition, the City contributes a portion of the premium cost (explicit
subsidy) with the retirees responsible for the remainder of the payment.
Significant changes were made to the OPEB benefit plan effective January 1, 2009. These
changes reduce benefits for current employees retiring after January 1, 2014 and for new
employees hired after January 1, 2009. The cumulative effect is expected to be a significant
reduction in OPEB liability.
Pre-Medicare retirees who retired prior to January 1, 2009 and participate in the group
insurance plan offered by the City are required to contribute fifty (50%) percent of the active
premium. Once these retirees are Medicare eligible, the City converts the health insurance to a
Medicare supplement policy and pays one hundred (100%) percent of the premium. Retirees
who retire after January 1, 2009, but were hired prior to January 1, 2009, must meet certain age
and service requirements in order to be eligible for any City-paid premiums.
For retirees hired after January 1, 2009, at least twenty-five (25) years of service is required
before the City will contribute 33% of Pre-Medicare premiums. In addition, General employees
must be at least age sixty-two (62) and Police Officers and Firefighters must be at least age
fifty-five (55). Retirees are eligible for coverage in the Medicare supplement policy but pay
100% of the premium. In future years, contributions are assumed to increase at the same rate
as premiums.
Dental and Vision coverage is currently not available to retirees.
As of September 30, 2011, the City provided healthcare benefits for forty-eight (48) eligible
retired employees and beneficiaries.

2. Description of Life Insurance Benefits
Life Insurance in the amount of $ 5,000 may be provided to some current retirees up to age 70,
and then coverage drops to $ 2,500. The retiree contributes 100% of the premium for this
benefit. The City provides a pass-through billing service at no charge to the employee. This
benefit provides an implicit subsidy because the retiree receives the same rate as an active City
employee. However, Life Insurance is not offered to employees retiring after October 1, 2006.
At September 30, 2011, there were twenty-five (25) retirees and eligible dependents remaining
in this program.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due.
Benefits, refunds and administrative costs are recognized when due and payable in accordance
with the terms of the plan.
Method Used to Value Investments. Investments are reported at fair value. The Florida
Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF) provides monthly statements for this purpose.
Presentation of Financial Statements The OPEB trust does not issue stand-alone financial
reports and is not included in the reports of any other entity.
4. Funding Policy
The Plan was established by Resolution 2008 – 31 in 2008. The Plan may be amended or
terminated as circumstances require by Resolution.
The numbers shown below reflect a decision to partially fund the program. Therefore, the
contributions made to the program are the benefits paid to retirees (both on an explicit and
implicit basis) and administrative expenses.
An initial $100,000 was contributed to the OPEB fund run by the FMPTF administered by the
Florida League of Cities in October 2008. As of September 30, 2011, three (3) annual
payments of $ 100,000 each had been made to the FMPTF. The annual payment for FY 2012
of $ 100,000 was made in December 2011.
The program was amended as of January 1, 2009, as described above (i.e. benefit changes for
employees hired after January 1, 2009) and those new provisions were used to determine the
Net OPEB Obligation for FY 2009 and years following.
Benefits may be changed from time to time by management as noted above. Under the current
policy, if a retiree does not make his or her payments for the benefits as described above the
benefit is forfeited and cannot be reinstated.

6. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of September 30, 2011, the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) for benefits was $ 4,797,993,
and the actuarial value of assets was $ 217,284 dollars, resulting in an unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (UAAL) of $ 4,580,709. The covered payroll was $ 7,854,652 and the ratio of
the UAAL to the covered payroll was 58.3%. As of October 1, 2010, there were forty-three (43)
retirees and seven (7) eligible dependents receiving postemployment health care benefits.
In FY 2011 the City contribution of $ 462,186 consists of three (3) components: $119,201 for the
current year as noted above, $ 100,000 to partially fund the program, and $ 242,985 of prior
year annual contributions.
The Required Supplementary Information (RSI) immediately following the notes to the financial
statements presents additional multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of
plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for
benefits.

7. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment and termination, mortality, and the healthcare cost
trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required
contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared
with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Projections of benefits for
financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan provisions, as understood by the
employer and participating members, and include the types of benefits provided at the time of
each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and
participating members. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that
are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the
actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The OPEB liability is currently partially funded, with a combination of annual contributions to a
professionally managed fund and City premium payments on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The City’s actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2010, was used to estimate the unfunded
actuarial liability and to determine the annual required contribution for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2011.
The actuarial assumptions included the following:
Funding Method - Entry age normal actuarial cost method (level Percent of Pay)
Retirement age for active employees - Based on historical average retirement ages
for General, Fire & Police employee categories.
Mortality - RP- 2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table
Turnover - City’s historical data by age in General, Fire & Police employee
categories.
Healthcare cost trend rate – eight (8 %) percent in 2010; decreasing 1% each year to
the ultimate rate of five (5%) percent in 2013.
Health insurance premiums - Actual 2011 premiums were used to calculate the
values of benefits to be paid.
Payroll growth rate - three (3.0%) percent per year/ (0% for General employees).
Inflation rate - three (3.0%) percent per year.
Interest rate - six (6.0%) percent per year, compounded annually, net of investment
related expenses.
The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of (closed
amortization over thirty (30) years) payroll.

N – GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS - FUND BALANCE
GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for governmental funds. It establishes
criteria for classifying fund balances into specifically defined classification and clarifies
definitions for governmental fund types. Fund balances for governmental funds are reported in
classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the government
is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be
spent.
When both restricted and unrestricted amounts are available for use, it is the City’s practice to
use restricted resources first. Additionally, the City would first use committed, then assigned,
and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance. The City reported the following
governmental fund balances:
o
Nonspendable Fund Balance – These amounts cannot be spent because they are not in
spendable form.
o
Restricted Fund Balance - These amounts are restricted to specific purposes when
constraints placed on the use of resources are either by:

(a) externally imposed by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors,
contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments;
Or

(b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislations.
o
Committed Fund Balance – These amounts can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Commission. The constraints cannot be
removed unless the Commission remove it in the same manner it was implemented.
o
Assigned Fund Balance – These amounts are constrained by the government’s intent
they be used for specific purposes. Decisions with regard to these amounts may be
made by a committee or other government official (i.e. City Manager etc.)
o
Unassigned Fund Balance – includes residual positive fund balance within the General
Fund which has not been classified within the other above mentioned categories.
Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund
if expenditures exceed amounts restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific
purposes.

O – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
1. Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan Agreement
The wastewater treatment plant operated by the City does not meet the Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) standards finalized by the EPA in 2007. The City commissioned a study to
determine what upgrades, with an appropriate timeline for construction, were required to meet
the new TMDL standards.
A series of public meetings were held on the subject and Resolution 2009 – 29 on August 20,
2009, adopted the final report. Concurrent with the report, a study of financing options
concluded that the most favorable option was the state revolving loan agreement. The City also
determined that an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well could be included in the project
financing plan. Resolution 2011 - 16 on June 2, 2011 authorized the application for and
acceptance of the state revolving loan. The maximum authorization is shown below:

Forty (40) loan payments of $ 749,740 each are scheduled to begin with the initial payment due
March 15, 2014 and continue semiannually each September 15 and March 15 thereafter until
paid. The financing rate is 2.89% per annum. There are reserve requirements and revenue
pledges associated with the loan. The payment start date is based on the assumption that the
project will be completed six months prior (i.e. October 2013) to the initial payment. The data
above assumes the full amount would be borrowed.

P – INFORMATION ITEMS
1. Community Redevelopment Agency
In 2008, the City’s electorate approved the formation of a Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA). As of September 30, 2011 the CRA has been formed, and the plan is scheduled for
delivery to the taxing authorities in April, 2012. Tax increment funding (TIF) will not be available
for the FY 2013 budget. The FY 2012 budget was prepared without the TIF. The TIF funding is
expected in FY 2014.
2. State Board of Administration (SBA) Florida Prime (formerly Local Government Surplus Trust
Funds Investment Pool – Fund A) (LGIP-A)
In December 2008, all Florida Prime balances became 100% liquid.
Currently, LGIP Fund B participants are prohibited from withdrawing from that pool. Fund B
cash holdings are being distributed as they become available from maturities, sales, investment
interest and other income received from the assets in Fund B to the Florida Prime accounts of
participants in proportion to their original adjusted Fund B balances. The investment objective
of Fund B is to maximize the present value of distributions to participants.
The Fund B balance as of September 30, 2011, is $ 22,774. The SBA has, in accordance with
GASB 31, provided a fair value factor of .7568386 to value the City’s investment. Our adjusted
balance is $ 17,236. The weighted average life (WAL) is estimated at 4.82 years.
Additional information regarding these funds may be obtained from the State Board of
Administration.
3. Utility Billing change
The City entered an interlocal agreement with the City of Cocoa regarding the billing of utility
accounts. The transition began in June 2011 and is continuing smoothly. The deposits of our
utility customers have been transferred to the City of Cocoa. Customer deposits are now
collected and administered in accordance with their policies. Our agency fund for such deposits
has been closed.

3. Narrative Summary (Pension Plans)
General Employees' Pension Trust Fund
During the past twelve (12) months, the experience has been mostly in line with the Plan’s actuarial
assumptions.
The primary source of unfavorable experience is due to a -2.0 % investment return (actuarial asset
basis) that was less than the 8.0% assumption. This loss was offset by average increases in
pensionable compensation that were less than the assumed rate by more than two (2%) percent.
1. Plan Changes Since Prior Valuation
There have been no changes in benefits since the prior valuation.
2. Actuarial Assumptions & Method Changes Since Prior Valuation
There have been no changes in methods or actuarial assumptions since the prior valuation.
Police Officers' Retirement Trust Fund
During the past twelve (12) months, the experience has been more favorable than expected on the
basis of the Plan’s actuarial assumptions.
The primary components of gain included average pensionable earnings that were less than the
assumed rate, greater than expected turnover, and greater than expected retiree mortality. These
gains were partially offset by a -0.3% investment return (Actuarial Asset Basis) that was less than
the 8% assumption.

3. Narrative Summary (Pension Plans) (continued)
Firefighters' Retirement Trust Fund
During the past twelve (12) months, the experience has been slightly more favorable than expected
on the basis of the Plan’s actuarial assumptions.
The primary components of gain included average pensionable earnings that were less than the
assumption by more than 6% and greater than expected retiree mortality. Partially offsetting this
gain was a -0.7% investment return (Actuarial Asset Basis) that was less than the 8% assumption.
1. Plan Changes Since Prior Valuation
There have been no changes in benefits since the prior valuation.
2. Actuarial Assumptions & Method Changes Since Prior Valuation
There have been no changes in benefits since the prior valuation. To comply with statutory
requirements the payroll growth assumption was decreased from three (3%) percent to the
ten (10) year average of two (2.9%) and nine tenths percent.
4. Narrative Summary (OPEB Obligation)

Additional Notes
Unless otherwise noted, the information in these schedules is derived from the City’s Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the relevant year.
In 2004 the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 44, which governs
the preparation of the statistical section with an effective date for periods beginning after June 15,
2005. Financial statements present the financial position of a government as of a particular date. The
intention of Statement 44 is to present detailed information, in ten-year trends, to assist users in
evaluating the economic condition of a government over time. This gives a much broader view than
the financial statements themselves.
Most schedules require data presentation retroactively only to the implementation date of GASB
Statement 34. The City implemented GASB Statement 34 in Fiscal Year 2002. The tenth
presentation year was reached in FY 2011.
Actual titles of some schedules will vary from the general titles shown above.
Neither the City of Cocoa Beach Charter or Code, nor the Florida Statutes limit the amount of debt the
City of Cocoa Beach can issue; therefore tables showing the City’s legal debt limit and debt margins
are not applicable. The City has not issued any General Bonded Debt in the last ten (10) years.
The following statistical tables which are normally included in a government’s Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report are not applicable and, accordingly, are not included in this report.

Notes:
1.
Accrual basis of accounting.
2.
Accounting standards require that net assets be
reported in three (3) components in the
financial statements: invested in capital
assets, net of related debt; restricted; and
unrestricted.
3.
Net assets are considered restricted only
when an external party, such as the state
or federal government, places a restriction
on how the resources may be used, or
through enabling legeslation enacted
by the City.

Notes: *Final Taxable Value determined after Valuation Board rulings
**The rate used in the calculation for property taxes. One mil equals $1 per $1,000 of taxable
value. A millage of 4.500 which is the current (FY 2011) rate in effect for the City of Cocoa Beach is equal
to $4.50 for each $1,000 of taxable value on real property.
Property is assessed at actual value and therefore a separate table for assessed
and actual data is not presented.

Refers to the number of personnel authorized for an accounting period, including part-time
personnel converted to the decimal equivalent of a full-time position based on 2,080 hours
per year. For example, a part-time recreation aide working twenty (20) hours per week for
fifty-two (52) weeks a year equals one half (.5) of a full-time position. Elected officials are carried
as General Government employees for payroll purposes, but are excluded from the figures above.
