CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 300
CITY COMMISSION AGENDA | APRIL 26, 2021 REGULAR MEETING
TITLE
Tyler Technologies / Energov – Permitting System
SUMMARY
Staff requests the authorization to enter into an agreement with Tyler
Technologies for three (3) years for software and implementation services for
the City's new online permitting system. The current online permitting
system, Project Dox, has not provided adequate results for the last several
years. The online system contains redundancy and lacks certain online
capabilities, such as online inspection scheduling. The current system also
suffers from failures on a continuous basis and the City is looking to
implement a more stable software system.
Staff plans to utilize these services provided by the Energov software to
reduce workload, eliminate redundancies, increase system stability, and
provide the public more online tools. The City is utilizing a piggybank contract
from St. John’s County. The piggybank option allows for the City to move
forward without a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Energov is utilized by several local municipalities such as;
City of Sunrise City of Riviera Beach City of Fernandina Beach
Village of Wellington City of Deltona City of Jacksonville
City of Pembroke Pines Village of Miami Shores City of Kissimmee
City of Coral Springs St. Lucie County Marion County
Miami-Dade County City of Miami Gardens City of Marco Island
City of Miami Beach City of Hallandale
Beach City of Sanibel
City of North Miami
Beach City of Riviera Beach City of Bonita Springs
City of Cape Coral Miami Shores Village City of Melbourne
City of Pinellas Park City of Fort Myers North Bay Village
6
The cost of Energov services is $116,000.00 for implementation and
$90,540.00 annually. There are also travel expenses of $28,900.00. The
contract is for three (3) years with an additional a renewal for two (2)
additional one (1) year renewal terms. The funding source is the development
services enterprise fund and will require an appropriation from fund balance.
Future year’s maintenance costs will be budgeted in the operational
expenditures of the development services fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Commission consider the purchase and
replacement of the Cities current online permitting system Project Dox. Staff
also recommends the City enter into an agreement with Tyler Technologies
Inc. for three (3) years, with two (2) single year renewals for software and
implementation services of the City's new online permitting system, Energov,
in the amount of $116,000.00, plus reimbursement of estimated travel
expenses of $28,900.00. Additionally the ongoing software service fee will be
$90,540.00 annually. The total overall cost for year one is $206,540.
Staff also recommends authorization for the City Manager and City Attorney
to prepare and execute any and all applicable contract documents consistent
with this agenda item.

24

component failure. In the event any of your Data has been lost or damaged due to an act or
omission of Tyler or its subcontractors or due to a Defect in Tyler’s software, we will use best
commercial efforts to restore all the Data on servers in accordance with the architectural

security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and
unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or
otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.

request.

1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in
the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set
forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are based on the scope of the project as of the
Effective Date and are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy. We will bill you
the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the
total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable
hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the
scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for
the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is
required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or
change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the
addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our
personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of
commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for
Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us
on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to
reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you
cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.

with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we
will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to
your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide
implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies
provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
26

7. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative
process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project
deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with
us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be
liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or
to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action
or omission).
8. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing
and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process,
we will:
8.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike
manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to
any applicable release life cycle policy);
8.2 provide support during our established support hours;
8.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
8.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements)
that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a
maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
8.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with
any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party
secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree
to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You
agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with
proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot
resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will
be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was
required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access
to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for
us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend
that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless
Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design;
(c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then-
current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to
27
7
you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at
least one (1) weeks’ advance notice.

purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.

Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third
Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.
3.1 We are authorized by each Developer to grant access to the Third Party Software.
3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive

LIABILITY
1. Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnification.
1.1 We will defend you against any third party claim(s) that the Tyler Software or Documentation
infringes that third party’s patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates its trade secrets,
and will pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we
consent). You must notify us promptly in writing of the claim and give us sole control over its
defense or settlement. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and
information in defending the claim at our expense.

1.3 If we receive information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the
Tyler Software, we may, at our expense and without obligation to do so, either: (a) procure for
you the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a
functional equivalent, in which case you will stop running the allegedly infringing Tyler Software
immediately. Alternatively, we may decide to litigate the claim to judgment, in which case you
may continue to use the Tyler Software consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 If an infringement or misappropriation claim is fully litigated and your use of the Tyler Software
is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final
judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the
right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional
equivalent. This section provides your exclusive remedy for third party copyright, patent, or
trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims.

Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct
flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does
not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100
(each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible
through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure
time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the
connecting flight should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount
opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at
least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement
is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be
required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or
more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable.
Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-
refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.
2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at
the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be
34
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
2
calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with
IRS regulations. Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles
from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost,
convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for
Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may
be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle
coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally
(excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to
and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical.
The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel
shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed
separately.
D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured
in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used.
For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from
the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and
conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include
Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount
rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should
confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such
as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any
lower club rates.
“No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the
hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed
separately.
Employees are not authorized to reserve non-traditional short-term lodging, such as Airbnb,
VRBO, and HomeAway. Employees who elect to make such reservations shall not be
reimbursed.
35
Exhibit B
Schedule 1

4. Meals and Incidental Expenses
Employee meals and incidental expenses while on travel status within the continental U.S. are in
accordance with the federal per diem rates published by the General Services Administration.
Incidental expenses include tips to maids, hotel staff, and shuttle drivers and other minor travel
expenses. Per diem rates are available at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
Per diem for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. protectorates and international destinations are provided
separately by the Department of Defense and will be determined as required.
A. Overnight Travel
For each full day of travel, all three meals are reimbursable. Per diems on the first and last day
of a trip are governed as set forth below.
Departure Day
Depart before 12:00 noon Lunch and dinner

*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
The reimbursement rates for individual meals are calculated as a percentage of the full day per
diem as follows:
Breakfast 15%
Lunch 25%
Dinner 60%
B. Same Day Travel
Employees traveling at least 100 miles to a site and returning in the same day are eligible to
claim lunch on an expense report. Employees on same day travel status are eligible to claim
dinner in the event they return home after 7:00 p.m.*
*7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner.
5. Internet Access – Hotels and Airports
Employees who travel may need to access their e-mail at night. Many hotels provide free high
speed internet access and Tyler employees are encouraged to use such hotels whenever
possible. If an employee’s hotel charges for internet access it is reimbursable up to $10.00 per
36
Exhibit B
Schedule 1

day. Charges for internet access at airports are not reimbursable.
6. International Travel
All international flights with the exception of flights between the U.S. and Canada should be
reserved through TMC using the “lowest practical coach fare” with the exception of flights that
are six (6) or more consecutive hours in length. In such event, the next available seating class
above coach shall be reimbursed.
When required to travel internationally for business, employees shall be reimbursed for photo
fees, application fees, and execution fees when obtaining a new passport book, but fees related
to passport renewals are not reimbursable. Visa application and legal fees, entry taxes and
departure taxes are reimbursable.
The cost of vaccinations that are either required for travel to specific countries or suggested by
the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for travel to specific countries, is reimbursable.

Exhibit C
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
I. Agreement Overview
This SLA operates in conjunction with, and does not supersede or replace any part of, the Agreement. It
outlines the information technology service levels that we will provide to you to ensure the availability of
the application services that you have requested us to provide. All other support services are documented
in the Support Call Process.
II. Definitions. Except as defined below, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in the
Agreement.
Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar quarter, with
percentages rounded to the nearest whole number.
Client Error Incident: Any service unavailability resulting from your applications, content or equipment, or
the acts or omissions of any of your service users or third-party providers over whom we exercise no
control.
Downtime: Those minutes during which the Tyler Software is not available for your use. Downtime does
not include those instances in which only a Defect is present.
Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar quarter that the Tyler Software is capable
of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding maintenance windows, Client Error
Incidents and Force Majeure.
III. Service Availability
The Service Availability of the Tyler Software is intended to be 24/7/365. We set Service Availability goals
and measures whether we have met those goals by tracking Attainment.
a. Your Responsibilities
Whenever you experience Downtime, you must make a support call according to the procedures outlined
in the Support Call Process. You will receive a support incident number.
You must document, in writing, all Downtime that you have experienced during a calendar quarter. You
must deliver such documentation to us within 30 days of a quarter’s end.
The documentation you provide must evidence the Downtime clearly and convincingly. It must include,
for example, the support incident number(s) and the date, time and duration of the Downtime(s).
b. Our Responsibilities
When our support team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work
with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of a Client Error
Incident or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
38
Exhibit C
2
Upon timely receipt of your Downtime report, we will compare that report to our own outage logs and
support tickets to confirm that Downtime for which we were responsible indeed occurred.
We will respond to your Downtime report within 30 day(s) of receipt. To the extent we have confirmed
Downtime for which we are responsible, we will provide you with the relief set forth below.
c. Client Relief
When a Service Availability goal is not met due to confirmed Downtime, we will provide you with relief
that corresponds to the percentage amount by which that goal was not achieved, as set forth in the Client
Relief Schedule below.
Notwithstanding the above, the total amount of all relief that would be due under this SLA per quarter
will not exceed 5% of one quarter of the then-current SaaS Fee. The total credits confirmed by us in one
or more quarters of a billing cycle will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such
credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created
the service interruption.
Every quarter, we will compare confirmed Downtime to Service Availability. In the event actual
Attainment does not meet the targeted Attainment, the following Client relief will apply, on a quarterly
basis:
Targeted Attainment Actual Attainment Client Relief
100% 98-99% Remedial action will be taken.
100% 95-97% 4% credit of fee for affected calendar quarter
will be posted to next billing cycle
100% <95% 5% credit of fee for affected calendar quarter
will be posted to next billing cycle
You may request a report from us that documents the preceding quarter’s Service Availability,
Downtime, any remedial actions that have been/will be taken, and any credits that may be issued.
IV. Applicability
The commitments set forth in this SLA do not apply during maintenance windows, Client Error Incidents,
and Force Majeure.
We perform maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably low-traffic
times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will provide
advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.
V. Force Majeure
You will not hold us responsible for not meeting service levels outlined in this SLA to the extent any failure
to do so is caused by Force Majeure. In the event of Force Majeure, we will file with you a signed request
that said failure be excused. That writing will at least include the essential details and circumstances
supporting our request for relief pursuant to this Section. You will not unreasonably withhold its
acceptance of such a request.

Issue Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique
incident number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The incident tracking number is used to track
and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the incident
number, through the portal at Tyler’s website or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority number, which corresponds to the client’s needs and deadlines. The client
is responsible for reasonably setting the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended
to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on
whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to
help guide the client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to
describe generally expected responses and resolutions.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets
1
Critical
Support incident that causes (a) complete
application failure or application
unavailability; (b) application failure or
unavailability in one or more of the
client’s remote location; or (c) systemic
loss of multiple essential system
functions.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 1
incidents within one (1) business hour of receipt of the
support incident. Tyler shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a
circumvention procedure within one (1) business day. For
non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for lost or
corrupted Data is limited to assisting the client in restoring its
last available database.
2
High
Support incident that causes (a) repeated,
consistent failure of essential functionality
affecting more than one user or (b) loss or
corruption of Data.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 2
incidents within four (4) business hours of receipt of the
support incident. Tyler shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a
circumvention procedure within ten (10) business days. For
non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for loss or
corrupted Data is limited to assisting the client in restoring its
last available database.
3 Medium
Priority Level 1 incident with an existing
circumvention procedure, or a Priority
Level 2 incident that affects only one user
or for which there is an existing
circumvention procedure.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 3
incidents within one (1) business day of receipt of the support
incident. Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents without the need for a
circumvention procedure with the next published
maintenance update or service pack. For non-hosted
customers, Tyler’s responsibility for lost or corrupted Data is
limited to assisting the client in restoring its last available
database.
41

Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets
4
Non-
critical
Support incident that causes failure of
non-essential functionality or a cosmetic
or other issue that does not qualify as any
other Priority Level.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 4
incidents within two (2) business days. Tyler shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support
incidents, as well as cosmetic issues, with a future version
release.
Incident Escalation
Tyler Technology’s software support consists of four levels of personnel:
(1) Level 1: front-line representatives
(2) Level 2: more senior in their support role, they assist front-line representatives and take on escalated
issues
(3) Level 3: assist in incident escalations and specialized client issues
(4) Level 4: responsible for the management of support teams for either a single product or a product
group
If a client feels they are not receiving the service needed, they may contact the appropriate Software Support
Manager. After receiving the incident tracking number, the manager will follow up on the open issue and
determine the necessary action to meet the client’s needs.
On occasion, the priority or immediacy of a software support incident may change after initiation. Tyler
encourages clients to communicate the level of urgency or priority of software support issues so that we can
respond appropriately. A software support incident can be escalated by any of the following methods:
(1) Telephone – for immediate response, call toll-free to either escalate an incident’s priority or to
escalate an issue through management channels as described above.
(2) Email – clients can send an email to software support in order to escalate the priority of an issue
(3) On-line Support Incident Portal – clients can also escalate the priority of an issue by logging into the
client incident portal and referencing the appropriate incident tracking number.
Remote Support Tool
Some support calls require further analysis of the client’s database, process or setup to diagnose a problem or
to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote support tool. Support is
able to quickly connect to the client’s desktop and view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with
screen navigation. More information about the remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.

Fees. If you fail to timely pay the SaaS Fees, we may discontinue your access to the SaaS Services.
We may also terminate this Socrata Agreement if you don’t cure such failure to pay within forty-five
(45) days of receiving written notice of our intent to terminate.
3. Ownership.
3.1 Tyler retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the SaaS Services.
3.2 When Client uploads or provides Client Data to the Socrata SaaS platform, Client grants to Tyler
a perpetual non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable license to
use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, and translate the
Client Data as needed in response to a Monthly Active User’s use of the SaaS Services.
3.3 The SaaS Services provide you with functionality to make all or part of Client Data available to
the general public through one or more public facing websites. Client determines which Client
Data is shared publicly, and Client is solely responsible for determining the online terms of use
and licenses relative to the use by public users (“Public User”) of Client Data, and the
enforcement thereof. Once an internal user makes Client Data publicly available using the SaaS
Services, Tyler has no control over a Public User’s use, distribution, or misuse of Client Data.
Tyler has no liability or obligation to indemnify for such usage. Users have the ability within the
SaaS Services to remove the public permissions applied to Client Data.
3.4 Tyler reserves the right to develop derivative data assets based on Client’s publicly available
data. These uses might include but aren’t necessarily limited to: aggregating and summarizing
data; normalizing, standardizing and concatenating data to create new regional or national data
assets; and developing key performance indicators and benchmarks.
3.5 While Tyler agrees to never commercially sell data Client makes publicly available, we reserve
the right to commercially sell derivative data assets we create based on Client’s public data.
3.6 Tyler may develop derivative data assets and insights based on aggregated, anonymized views
of Client’s internally accessible private data for the purposes of the enhancement of the SaaS
Services, aggregated statistical analysis, technical support and other internal business purposes.
46
Exhibit F

3.7 Client retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Client Data. Client expressly
recognizes that except to the extent necessary to carry out our obligations contained in this
Socrata Agreement, Tyler does not create or endorse any data used in connection with the SaaS
Services. During the term of the Socrata Agreement, Client may export Client Data as allowed by
the functionality within the SaaS Services.
3.8 If Client provides feedback, information, and/or or suggestions about the SaaS Services, or any
other services provided hereunder, then Tyler (and those it allows to use its technology) may
use such feedback, information, and/or suggestions under a royalty-free, paid-up, and
irrevocable license without obligation to Client.
4. Restrictions.
4.1 You may not: (a) except as explicitly provided for herein, make the SaaS Services or
Documentation resulting from the SaaS Services available in any manner to any third party for
use in the third party’s business operations; (b) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble,
reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the SaaS Services; (c) access or use the SaaS
Services in order to build or support, and/or assist a third party in building or supporting,
products or services competitive to us; (d) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute,
display, host, outsource, disclose, permit timesharing or service bureau use, or otherwise
commercially exploit or make the SaaS Services or Documentation available to any third party
other than as expressly permitted by this Socrata Agreement; (e) use the SaaS Services to store
or transmit infringing, unsolicited marketing emails, libelous, or otherwise objectionable,
unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third party rights; (f)
interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the SaaS Services (including without
limitation, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing or other manual or automated simulations
of adversarial actions, without Tyler’s prior written consent); or (g) attempt to gain unauthorized
access to the SaaS Services or its related systems or networks.
4.2 Client acknowledges and understands that the Socrata SaaS Services are not designed to serve
as the system of record and shall not be used in a manner where the interruption of the SaaS
Services could cause personal injury (including death) or property damage. The SaaS Services are
not designed to process or store CJIS, PHI or other sensitive data, and by using the Socrata SaaS
Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are using the Socrata SaaS Services at your own
risk and that you are solely responsible for use of data with the SaaS Services in any manner that
is contrary to the uses for which the Socrata SaaS Services are designed and offered for use in
this Agreement.
4.3 Although we have no obligation to screen, edit or monitor the Client Data or Public User content
posted on SaaS Services, if, in our reasonable judgment, we discover your use of the SaaS
Services threatens the security, integrity, stability, or availability of the SaaS Services, or is
otherwise in violation of this Socrata Agreement, we may temporarily suspend the SaaS
Services, or Monthly Active Users’ access thereto. Unless Client has conducted penetration
testing or unscheduled performance testing, Tyler will use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Client with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to such
suspension. Any penetration testing or unscheduled performance testing conducted by Client
will result in immediate suspension of the SaaS Services.
47

5. Reservation of Rights. The SaaS Services, other services, workflow processes, user interface, designs,
and other technologies provided by Tyler pursuant to this Socrata Agreement are the proprietary
property of Tyler and its licensors. All right, title and interest in and to such items, including all
associated intellectual property rights, remain only with Tyler. Client may not remove or modify any
proprietary marking or restrictive legends from items or services provided under this Socrata
Agreement. Tyler reserves all rights unless otherwise expressly granted in this Socrata Agreement.
6. Access and Usage by Internal Client Users and Contractors. You may allow your internal users and
third party contractors to access the SaaS Services and any technical or policy controls, in
compliance with the terms of this Socrata Agreement, which access must be for your sole benefit.
You are responsible for the compliance with this Socrata Agreement by your internal users and
contractors.
7. Your Responsibilities. Client (a) must keep its passwords secure and confidential; (b) is solely
responsible for all activity occurring under its account; (c) must use commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent unauthorized access to its account and notify Tyler promptly of any such unauthorized
access; (d) may use the SaaS Services only in accordance with the Documentation; and (e) shall
comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies of Client, as to its use of the
SaaS Services, Client Data, and instructions to Tyler regarding the same.
8. Client Data Backup. Client is providing Socrata a copy of Client Data. Any laws and regulations
governing Client for retention of Client Data remains Client’s responsibility. CLIENT IS SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP CLIENT DATA unless otherwise specially agreed in writing between
Tyler and Client.
9. Return of Client Data. Upon request, Tyler will make the SaaS Services available to Client to export
Client Data for a period of sixty (60) days following the termination of this Socrata Agreement. After
such sixty (60) day period has expired, we have no obligation to maintain Client Data and may
destroy the Client Data.
10. APIs. Tyler will provide access to the applicable application-programming interface (“API”) as part of
the SaaS Services under the terms of this Socrata Agreement. Subject to the other terms of this
Socrata Agreement, Tyler grants Client a non-exclusive, nontransferable, terminable license to
interact only with the SaaS Services as allowed by the current APIs.
a. Client may not use the APIs in a manner--as reasonably determined by Tyler--that exceeds
the purposes defined in the Investment Summary, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or
fails to comply with any part of the APIs. If any of these occur, Tyler can suspend or
terminate Client’s access to the APIs on a temporary or permanent basis.
b. Tyler may change or remove existing endpoints or fields in API results upon at least 30 days’
notice to Client, but Tyler will use commercially reasonable efforts to support the previous
version of the APIs for at least 6 months from deprecation notice. Tyler may add new
endpoints or fields in API results without prior notice to Client.
c. The APIs may be used to connect the SaaS Services to certain hosted or on premise software
applications not provided by Tyler (“Non-Tyler Applications”). Client is solely responsible for
development, license, access to and support of Non-Tyler Applications, and Client’s
48
Exhibit F
5
obligations under this Socrata Agreement are not contingent on access to or availability of
any Non-Tyler Application.
d. Any open source code provided is provided as a convenience to you. Such open source code
is provided AS IS and is governed by the applicable open source license that applies to such
code; provided, however, that any such open source licenses will not materially interfere or
prohibit Client’s limited right to use the SaaS Services for its internal business purposes.
11. Data Security Measures. In order to protect your Confidential Information, we will: (a) implement
and maintain all reasonable security measures appropriate to the nature of the Confidential
Information including without limitation, technical, physical, administrative and organizational
controls, and will maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such Confidential
Information; (b) implement and maintain industry standard systems and procedures for detecting,
mitigating, and responding to attacks, intrusions, or other systems failures and regularly test or
otherwise monitor the effectiveness of the safeguards' key controls, systems, and procedures; (c)
designate an employee or employees to coordinate implementation and maintenance of its Security
Measures (as defined below); and (d) identify reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to
the security, availability, confidentiality, and integrity of Confidential Information that could result in
the unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration, destruction or other compromise of such
information, and assess the sufficiency of any safeguards in place to control these risks (collectively,
Security Measures). Client acknowledges and agrees that Tyler’s obligations with respect to Security
Measures is subject to Section B(4.2) above.
12. Notice of Data Breach. If Tyler knows that Confidential Information has been accessed, disclosed, or
acquired without proper authorization and contrary to the terms of this Socrata Agreement, we will
alert Client of any such data breach in accordance with applicable law, and take such actions as may
be necessary to preserve forensic evidence and return the SaaS Services to standard operability. If
so required, Tyler will provide notice in accordance with applicable federal or State data breach
notification laws.
13. Confidentiality. Both parties recognize that their respective employees and agents, in the course of
performance of this Socrata Agreement, may be exposed to Confidential Information and that
disclosure of such information could violate rights to private individuals and entities, including the
parties. Confidential Information is nonpublic information that a reasonable person would believe to
be confidential and includes, without limitation, personal identifying information (e.g., Social
Security numbers) and trade secrets, each as defined by applicable state law (“Confidential
Information”). Each party agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information of the other
party and further agrees to take all reasonable and appropriate action to prevent such disclosure by
its employees or agents. The confidentiality covenants contained herein will survive the termination
or cancellation of this Socrata Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality will not apply to
information that:
(a) is in the public domain, either at the time of disclosure or afterwards, except by breach of
this Socrata Agreement by a party or its employees or agents;
(b) a party can establish by reasonable proof was in that party's possession at the time of initial
disclosure;
(c) a party receives from a third party who has a right to disclose it to the receiving party; or
(d) is the subject of a legitimate disclosure request under the open records laws or similar
49
Exhibit F
6
applicable public disclosure laws governing this Socrata Agreement; provided, however, that
in the event you receive an open records or other similar applicable request, you will give us
prompt notice and otherwise perform the functions required by applicable law.
SECTION C – OTHER SERVICES

Part 1: Executive Summary
1. Project Overview
1.1 Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and
technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector
entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect
more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across
disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their
communities.
1.2 Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles
and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler
and Client (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget
Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive
Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs
Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
Providing a user-friendly user interface to promote system use and productivity
Streamline business processes through automation, integration, and workflows
Provide a single, comprehensive, and integrated solution to manage business functions
Eliminate redundant data entry
1.3 Methodology
This is accomplished by City of Winter Springs and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth
of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology.
Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative
description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance
Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective
communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across
Phases, and is scaled to meet the Client’s complexity and organizational needs.
57
City of Winter Springs
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both City of Winter Springs and Tyler commit to including the
necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that City of Winter
Springs and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s
Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where City of Winter Springs’s business processes
are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is
used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As
illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to
efficiently and effectively complete the Project.
58

Part 2: Project Foundation
2. Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of
Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This
allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project
related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to adequately meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities
for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to
accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change
Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement
of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation
which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the
governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate &
Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and City of Winter Springs collaborate to
resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. In the event that project managers do not
possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation
management and City of Winter Springs Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage
responses prior to escalation to City of Winter Springs and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation
process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate
knowledge transfer and issue resolution. City of Winter Springs and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final
escalation point.

3. Project Scope Control
3.1 Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the ‘triple constraints’ or Project management
triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the
work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is
simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle,
the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased,
cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain
cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this
triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall
Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level
of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using
the change control process outlined in the following section.
3.2 Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new
constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that
Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change in order to produce optimal results for
stakeholders. Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the
final contract, and as described below.
3.3 Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the
change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will
occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and possible delays relative to the schedule, some
changes may result in less cost to City of Winter Springs; for example, City of Winter Springs may decide it no
60
City of Winter Springs
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following
information:
The nature of the change.
A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to City of Winter Springs, if any.
The timetable for implementing the change.
The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
City of Winter Springs will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request
within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and City of Winter
Springs). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing
using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and
will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.

4. Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will
vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success
of the Project that each City of Winter Springs office or department designates specific individuals for making
decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City of Winter Springs will identify representative project managers. These individuals will
represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining client feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success
of the Project. The City of Winter Springs project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision
approvals from all authorized City of Winter Springs representatives. Given that the designated decision-
maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision
point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City of
Winter Springs department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make
decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
The City of Winter Springs shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise
mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City
of Winter Springs does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or
the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable
or Control Point as accepted.
If the City of Winter Springs does not agree the particular Deliverable or Control Point meets
requirements, the City of Winter Springs shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with
reasoning within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be
unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable.
Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City of Winter
Springs shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control
Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City
of Winter Springs does not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed
upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as
accepted.
5. Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for City of Winter Springs and
Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at City of
Winter Springs, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the
Tyler and client project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by
multiple people.

Part 3: Project Plan
6. Project Stages
Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into
smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level
components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level
work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during
subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control
Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by City of Winter
Springs.
*Items noted with an asterisk in the graphic above relate to specific products and services. If those products and services are not included in the scope of
the contract, these specific work packages will be noted as “Intentionally Left Blank” in Section 6 of the Statement of Work.

implementation timeframes.
During this work package Tyler will work with City of Winter Springs to coordinate and plan a formal Project
planning meeting(s). This meeting signifies the start of the Project and should be attended by all City of
Winter Springs Project team members and the Tyler Project Manager. The meeting provides an opportunity
for Tyler to introduce its implementation methodology, terminology, and Project management best practices
to City of Winter Springs’s Project Team. This will also present an opportunity for project managers and
Project sponsors to begin to discuss Project communication, metrics, status reporting and tools to be used to
measure Project progress and manage change.
Tyler will work with the City of Winter Springs Project Team to prepare and deliver the Project Management
Plan as an output of the planning meeting. This plan will continue to evolve and grow as the Project
progresses and will describe how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.
During project planning, Tyler will introduce the tools that will be used throughout the implementation. Tyler
will familiarize the client with these tools during project planning and make them available for review and
maintenance as applicable throughout the project. Some examples are Solution validation plan, issue log, and
go-live checklist.

6.2.2 Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process
changes that will be achieved with the new system.
City of Winter Springs and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros
and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration
and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The
options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of
standard Tyler functionality.
The City of Winter Springs will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule
and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the client’s responsibility to verify that in-
scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as
part of the contract. The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the

acknowledged and adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific
work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should
be considered throughout the overall implementation process.
7.1 Project
Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed.
The City of Winter Springs Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually
agreed upon timeframe in order to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project
Schedule.
Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time.
Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will
be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously
referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process.
Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City of Winter Springs
project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to
any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
100
City of Winter Springs
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 45
Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler
software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, City of Winter Springs is responsible for making
decisions based on the options available.
Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and
technical, requiring City of Winter Springs to make process changes.
City of Winter Springs is responsible for defining, documenting and implementing their policies that
result from any business process changes.
7.2 Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City of Winter Springs is responsible for managing Organizational
Change. Impacted Client resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their leadership team
to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An important part of
change is ensuring that impacted client resources understand the value of the change, and why they are
being asked to change.
7.3 Resources and Scheduling
City of Winter Springs resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project
Schedule.
The City of Winter Springs team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities.
Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
Tyler and City of Winter Springs will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project
as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required
work as scheduled.
Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested
through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget and schedule) will be
assessed and documented as part of the change control process.
City of Winter Springs will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and
possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there
be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability,
change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
City of Winter Springs makes timely Project related decisions in order to achieve scheduled due dates
on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as
each analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions.
City of Winter Springs will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in
accordance with the Project Schedule.
City of Winter Springs will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate system
connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
101
City of Winter Springs
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 46
For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the
employee.

City of Winter Springs is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing
erroneous legacy data.
Tyler will work closely with City of Winter Springs representatives to identify business rules before
writing the conversion. City of Winter Springs must confirm that all known data mapping from source
to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion.
All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single
approved file layout.
The client will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each iteration unless
changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the schedule, budget and
resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be incorrect.
The City of Winter Springs Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting
issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
Client is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
7.5 Facilities
City of Winter Springs will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City of Winter Springs
resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City of Winter Springs will provide
multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
City of Winter Springs will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without
distraction.

Part 4: Appendices
9. Conversion
9.1 Data Conversion Process for EnerGov Enterprise Server
9.1.1 Overview:
This document is an introduction to the SQL Server EG_Template database and how to populate it.
The Full Conversion is the same process, as the Templated. However, with the Full Conversion option, Tyler is
responsible for the data import instead of the client.
9.1.2 Modularized Design:
As with the EnerGov software, the EG_Template db is sectioned into modules. Each contains one master
table at the top of the chain (ex. ‘permit’ for the Permit module). Within each module, various child tables
branch below the master table for the associated module (ex. ‘permit_address’, ‘permit_note’, etc.).
Some tables cross multiple modules. The most notable of these involve inspections and payment
transactions.
The EG_Template database includes database diagrams, which indicate the tables and their relationships to
each module.
9.1.3 Required Fields:
In the EnerGov software, some fields are “Required Fields,” and the associated columns must be populated
for records to be written to the EnerGov db. On occasion, these required fields will not be available in the
legacy source data, so a simple default value can be written to the EG_Template db to fulfill any NOT NULL
constraint.
Dropdown picklist columns restrict the user from entering certain values in the EnerGov db. Conversely, drop-
down fields do not have a restriction on values written to the EG_Template db. Therefore, exact spelling or
careful matching to the EnerGov configured values is not a requirement for fields intended for EnerGov drop-
down fields. Tyler maps the values through a separate table to translate the values to the appropriate
EnerGov value during conversion and collaborates with the client to validate the resulting mappings during
the development phase of the conversion.
9.1.4 Custom Fields (any fields not available in the master table for the module in
question):
Most legacy systems have some attribute fields that are not specified in the corresponding master table
within EG_Template. Tyler refers to these as custom fields. Within each module exists a child table for such
custom fields. Since these fields are specific to the legacy system(s), the client may add columns to these
tables in EG_Template to accommodate any needed custom fields in the migration. For example,
‘permit_additional_fields’ is the table for extra fields relating to the ‘permit’ records.
106
City of Winter Springs
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 51
9.1.5 Gap Handling (where legacy data doesn’t fit anywhere within EG_Template):
On occasion, legacy systems contain special features for which EnerGov does not account in the EG_Template
db. As a result, the need may arise to develop a modified solution to address special cases.
9.1.6 Contacts:
Contacts generally fall into two categories:
1. Those managed with each person/company having one contact record, kept up to date over time.
With this model, there is generally no duplication of contact records (except when created by
mistake).
2. Contacts where the user enters the contact attribute info on each permit, case, license, etc. With this
model, there is no single master record representing the contact itself and there is likely
considerable duplication of contacts.
EnerGov stores contacts as in category 1 above. Tyler migrates contacts put into EG_Template without a
master ‘contact’ record link (category 2 above) into custom field memo boxes to avoid duplication of contacts
within the EnerGov contact repository. For example, when populating the permit contacts, for contacts in
category 1, input the record into the ‘permit_contact’ table. Input contacts for category 2 into the
‘permit_contact_no_key’ table.
9.1.7 Multiple Legacy Data Sources:
When presenting multiple data sources, ensure population of EG_Template for all data sources. At the main
table level, an optional column exists for the legacy data source. Tyler provides this column to easily count or
research records originating from a particular legacy data source.
9.1.8 Overall Architecture of Conversion:
There are 3 SQL Server databases involved in the conversion process.
1. EG_Template (for legacy data)
3. EnerGov (the production EnerGov db)
4. A database containing all conversion processes and mapping tables; maintained by Tyler’s data
conversion team. This db translates the data from EG_Tempate into the EnerGov db.

9.1.9 Progression of Conversion Development Process:
Step Step Name Responsible Party Notes
1 Provide empty EG_Template
database to client
Tyler Database format will be SQL Server
2 Load legacy data into template
database
Client If there are multiple legacy data sources, all should
be loaded into the one template SQL database.
3 Mapping process Tyler /Client Dependent on completed EnerGov configuration
Spreadsheets will be used to communicate
mapping values.
Mapping questions may arise and both parties may
need to discuss these until answers are agreed
upon.
4 Import-specific configuration
changes to EnerGov
Tyler Certain fields or values may need to exist for
imported records only. These usually require some
minor EnerGov configuration changes.
5 Customize conversion scripts Tyler Minor customization can be expected for many
conversions, based on special requests from client.
Any special requests would also be added into the
conversion scripts at this time.
6 Conversion execution Tyler Resulting EnerGov database will be provided to
client team for review.
7 Review and either sign-off or
request changes
Client Client team will review the data and the interaction
with it in the EnerGov software.
If it meets the client’s needs, sign-off will occur. If
not, certain steps above may need to be repeated
until client signs off on the conversion.

have a 5-minute opportunity to engage in a brief question and answer period with
124
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES | REGULAR MEETING | MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2021 | PAGE 6 OF 11
each candidate, if the commissioner has any follow-up questions.
Once all candidates have introduced themselves, I will then seek public comment
from anyone who wishes to speak on this item and has completed a blue form.
Each person will be permitted to speak for 3 minutes. Representatives of groups
and HOAs will limit their comments to 5 minutes.
After public input, I will then proceed with the two-step nomination and
appointment process under Robert’s Rules.
Step 1. I will first open the floor for each commissioner to be given the opportunity
to nominate one of the candidates to be the next Mayor of Winter Springs.
Nominations do not require a motion or vote of the commission. Further, a
commissioner is not required to make a nomination, and if the commissioner’s
chosen nominee has already been nominated by another commissioner, it is not
necessary to duplicate the nomination a second time.
Once each commissioner has had the opportunity to make a nomination, I will
close the nomination process and proceed to Step 2.
Step 2. The commission will have an opportunity to discuss the nominations made
in Step 1 and appoint one of the nominees to be the next Mayor. Appointment
requires a formal motion and a majority vote of the commission.
Therefore, once the City Commission completes its discussion on the nominees, I
will then present each nominee for consideration by the City Commission, in
alphabetical order by last name. The City Commission will then have the right to
make a motion or not to appoint that nominee to be the next Mayor. If the nominee
is not selected either because of a lack of a motion or majority vote, I will go to the
next nominee on the alphabetical list until hopefully one of the nominees receives a
majority vote to be appointed the next Mayor.
Assuming one of the candidates is appointed this evening, I would recommend
that the swearing-in ceremony occur at 6:00 PM immediately preceding the City
Commission’s next regularly scheduled meeting on April 26 at 6:30 PM so friends,
family, and the public can be invited to attend and enjoy the inauguration
ceremony. After the swearing-in ceremony, the new Mayor will take his or her seat
at 6:30PM and preside over the regularly scheduled Commission meeting.”
Discussion followed on the proposed procedure and the appropriate time to
discuss each nomination. The Commission agrees to the process previously laid out
by Deputy Mayor Johnson.
Deputy Mayor Johnson then asked applicants to limit their comments to three (3)
minutes and asked that they remain standing at the podium to answer any
125
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES | REGULAR MEETING | MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2021 | PAGE 7 OF 11
questions.
Mayoral applicants presented information about themselves and their
qualifications in the following order: Mr. Kevin McCann, Mr. William Morrisey, Mr.
Howard Parsons III, Mrs. Sabrina Parsons, Mr. Jesse Phillips, Mr. Kenneth Spalthoff,
and Mr. Christopher Wentzell.
After each applicant’s three (3) minute presentation, Commissioners were given five
(5) minutes each to ask questions of the applicant.
Mr. Justin York, 645 Regina Lane, Lake Mary noted he was a City Commissioner for
the City of Lake Mary and expressed support for Jesse Phillips to become the next
Mayor.
Mr. Ken Greenberg, 1635 White Dove Drive, Winter Springs spoke in support of
Jesse Phillips for Mayor, noted he thought the Mayor was an important position as
spokesperson for Winter Springs throughout the community, region, and state. Mr.
Greenberg listed what he believed Mr. Phillip's qualifications were and said he
thought this was an excellent opportunity to bring the City together.
Ms. Gina Shafer, Winter Springs Village, Winter Springs said she thought the
question that should have been asked in the application packet was when was the
last time you have attended a City Commission meeting. Ms. Shafer expressed
support for Mr. Spalthoff.
The Clerk read emails submitted by the following individuals related to the
appointment of the Mayor into the record. The full emails are attached to the end of
these Minutes.

Good afternoon,

Regarding:
1. Minutes from March 22, 2021 City Commission Meeting - Items 606
& 607 Reports of the City Egg Hunt Event
Rustic Journeys and I most specifically want to publicly thank the City andthe efforts of Meghan McNeil, Events Coordinator and Ilana Berman,Marketing & Events Manager for creating this first ever event, “The Egg-Citing Egg Hunt” and supporting small businesses like ours. We were veryhonored and proud to be a sponsor and provide Family Gift Baskets fromour store which highlights local artisans and to create the paint kits for allchildren who attended. We look forward to participating in morecommunity events in Winter Springs.
2. April 12, 2021. Agenda Item 200. Current Economic and CommunityDevelopment Projects Summary
First and foremost, I am proud to be a small business owner in WinterSprings and thank the City and residents for welcoming us. As a smallbusiness owner, I want to share that we are still struggling amidst thepandemic and would like to implore that the City be open to assistingsmall businesses in any way possible. We moved our business fromOviedo to Winter Springs to grow alongside the local community.Instead, we are now faced with a compounding astronomical lease andwhereas the community is slowly coming back and getting out; we havesuffered the equivalency of 3 years of growth placing us back to wherewe were in 2017. Perhaps a Small Business Advisory Committee could beformed and participate with working alongside other committees as well
132
as provide representation in larger community development forums. Iam willing to be part of a solution as more and more small businesseswill be moving into the City’s growing retail development projects.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to see Ken Spalthoff appointed Mayor for his true and heart-felt dedication to
the city of Winter Springs. His volunteer work for the school food pantries, his many daysof help with the free hot lunches through Dominick's last summer, forever supporting the
business owners of Winter Springs, has been absolutely amazing and so very muchappreciated. I appreciate Mr. Spalthoff and respect his volunteer work and dedication to the
community. I can't think of anyone else that would be better suited to lead our city, asMayor, than Ken Spalthoff.
The City of Winter Springs Commission would be lucky to have this successful and highlyeducated professional to assist them in representing the great city of Winter Springs.
Respectfully,

Christian Gowan 1126 E SR 434, Winter Springs, FL 32708
Dear Christian, As I am not a good public speaker, I respectfully request that this be read into the record at the next City Commission meeting on April 12, 2021. I moved to Winter Springs in 1985, We moved away for awhile but when my in-laws past we purchased their home in Tuscawilla to provide our daughter a great school experience and a great place to grow up, she passed in our home at 17 years old, and we have lived there since. My father used to cover the commission and politics of Winter Springs for the Oviedo Voice years ago but I never really paid much attention to things going on in our little city until the out-of-control growth explosion. I started following the politics and activities of the elected officials at that time and was very disappointed, as it seemed developers ran the show. I have heard how the State gutted local Government’s ability to restrict growth, but I believe the right mind set with the right set of zoning and code requirements can limit the growth to quality and community friendly trends. I watched in surprise as a pseudo “Community Association” popped and started to rale against the Commissioners and the direction the voters selected by large majorities, I am fully aware of a “survey “conducted by the afore mentioned “association “stating that 84% of the residents believe the city is going in the wrong direction, as we all know surveys can be swayed by how the question is posed, in my humble opinion the only survey that matters is the ballot box. Our former mayor chose to fight that direction, by vetoing a freeze on certain types of development until a review could be performed. He then resigned claiming he could no longer support the direction the commission. I believe he was a good Mayor and a good man but times and situations have changed. I respectfully request the Commission select a new Mayor that shares the vision that our commission and most important the voters of Winter Springs demanded in recent elections and I believe that man is Ken Spalthoff.
Warm regards,

Dear City Commissioners,I am reaching out as 14 year resident of Winter Springs and Winding Hollow subdivision. I
would like it to be on record that I support Ken Spalthoff as the Interim Mayor of WinterSprings. Having sat back and taking in all of the smear campaigns against Ken and the way he
responded has made me quite convinced that Ken is the man for the job. He has shownpatience, and in an extremely non- partisan way, while setting our community straight in how
he has explained the construction of housing in Winter Springs as well as other issues. AMayor for the people is what we need and I strongly feel Ken is the man for the job and
support him.

Our city faces so many challenges, beginning with the mishandling of the water system, whichmade parts of the Highlands where I live unbearable for months. I know Jesse Phillips and the
Winter Springs Community Association had been trying to warn about these issues for a longtime, and I am very grateful our city had people willing to speak up when not accept the status
quo. I wish the city had listened to him then, but we have a chance to benefit from his voicenow. Our city needs for you to appoint someone with a different perspective as Mayor. Jesse is
the only one who has the experience to do this job right out of the gate. Please appoint him tobe our next Mayor.

First and foremost, thank you for your service to our community.
The leadership of Winter Springs is vital to our community.
I ask that you respectfully consider the appointment of Kenneth Spalthoff to the position of Mayor.
Mr. Spalthoff is the only candidate to submit for appointment that received any vote from the

Good Afternoon,
My name is Rebecca Holcomb, and I have been a lifelong resident of Winter
Springs. Having moved here when I was 5 years old, I have seen this city go
through many changes. From 434 going from a 2-lane road to a 4-lane road, the
building of Indian Trails Middle School and Winter Springs High School, the
expansion of Central Winds Park, to the addition of many neighborhoods. All these
changes are good for the progression of our city but there can be too much of a
good thing.
In the recent years, we have seen our bedroom community, one with a small-town
feel, turn into a concrete jungle taking down most of Winter Springs greenways.
Our streets and trails are now lined with buildings (some empty) and numerous
apartments. Much of Winter Springs charm has been lost through this progressive
approach.
This is one of many reasons why I think Ken Spalthoff would be a great choice as
Winter Springs Mayor. I understand that the Mayor of Winter Springs does not
have the ability to vote on issues, but his vision is in line with our current
commission; to stop the overdevelopment of our City. This will make the
Commissioners work easier because they will finally have the support of our
Mayor.
Ken truly cares about our City. He always has his ear to the ground listening to
peoples’ concerns, needs, and wants. Ken played an instrumental role in helping
many of our current Commissioners become elected. He volunteered his time
campaigning for himself, but also those Commissioners who felt the same way he
did. Ken has been a direct line from the citizens of Winter Springs to the
Commission. Through his Facebook page, Ken is able to relay important
information to our citizens, but he is also able to help provide the Commissioners
insight into how the community is feeling.
Ken has been visible throughout our community for several years now. He has
been a part of the Mentor Program at Winter Springs High School, sponsored 5K
races that raised food for food pantries in our community, held movie nights on his
own front lawn to help build the sense of community and the list goes on and on. It
would be nice to finally have a Mayor take part in our community and to help
make Winter Springs the best that it can be,
Thank you for your time,
Rebecca Holcomb

To the residents of Winter Springs,
I’d like to take a moment to show my support for the appointment of Ken Spalthoff for mayor of
Winter Springs.
I met Ken in 2015 shortly after moving to Winter Springs. In that time, Ken has repeatedly shown
himself to be hard worker, determined, a family first man and someone that has repeatedly given
back to his community. Ken identifies a problem, quickly works to find a solution and then acts
before most would think to help. Ken truly is a community steward that cares for the well-being of
Winter Springs and its residents for now and the future. Ken’s values are also a reflection of our
current elected Winter Springs commission having set a vision of smart growth and smart
development that resonated so well with our citizens.
Ken’s values, vision and leadership is needed in Winter Springs in these trying times and I hope my
support will be considered.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA ITEM 400
CITY COMMISSION AGENDA | APRIL 26, 2021 REGULAR MEETING
TITLE
Waste Pro Contract Addendum and First Reading of Ordinance 2021-03
SUMMARY
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2006-01, as amended by Ordinance No. 2010-24,
Ordinance 2019-04, Ordinance No. 2020-01 and Ordinance No. 2020-09
Waste Pro of Florida, Inc. (Waste Pro) has been providing Solid Waste Services
within the municipal boundaries of the City for Winter Springs since 2006 in
accordance with the Solid Waste Agreement adopted by said Ordinances
(“Existing Franchise Agreement”). Section 4.14(4) of the City Charter requires
the City Commission to renew franchises by ordinance. The Existing Franchise
Agreement expires on February 28, 2022. Except for amending the term of
the Existing Franchise Agreement; the terms and conditions of the Existing
Franchise Agreement with Waste Pro will remain the same and in full force
and effect.
At the March 22, 2021 commission meeting, staff presented a comparative
evaluation of the existing Waste Pro Franchise Agreement with other local
solid waste franchises. The recent competitive bidding experiences of other
nearby municipalities and counties did not result in favorable outcomes for
their residents. As a result of that evaluation, staff recommended that the
Commission grant a long term extension to Waste Pro of Florida because such
extension will be more economically advantageous to the citizens of Winter
Springs than competitively bidding solid waste services in the current market.
That long term extension will become effective 3/1/2022 and remain in effect
through 2/28/2027 with three 1 year extensions available upon mutual
consent.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests the City Commission conduct a First Reading of Ordinance
2021-03 renewing the Existing Franchise Agreement and extending the term
of the existing Solid Waste Agreement with Waste Pro of Florida, Inc. through
February 28, 2027 effective upon execution.

To the Honorable Mayor, City Commission and Citizens of the City of Winter Springs, Florida:
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the City of Winter Springs, Florida Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. Florida Statutes, Chapter 166.241 and the
rules of the Florida Auditor General, Chapter 10.550 require that all general-purpose local governments
publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) and that they be audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards
(GAAS) by a firm of licensed Certified Public Accountants.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information
presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of
the City of Winter Springs has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both
to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information
for the preparation of the City of Winter Springs’ financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the
cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefit, the City of Winter Springs’ comprehensive
framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance
that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, we assert that this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Winter Springs’ financial statements have been audited by McDirmit Davis, a firm of licensed
certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements of the City of Winter Springs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 are free of
material misstatement. The independent audit involved examination of evidence, on a test basis, supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessment of the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and an evaluation of the overall financial statement
presentation. Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that reasonable basis existed to
render an unmodified opinion that the City of Winter Springs’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2020 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The City of Winter Springs’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) can be found immediately
following the report of the independent auditors and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis
of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in
conjunction with it.
Profile of the Government
The City of Winter Springs, incorporated in 1959, is located in Seminole County, which is a part of the greater
Orlando metropolitan area in East Central Florida. The City currently has a land area of approximately 13.3
square miles and a population of approximately 38,000.
196
v
The City operates according to a Council/Manager form of government, with an appointed City Manager,
five elected City Commissioners and a separately elected Mayor. The Mayor and Commission are elected
for four-year terms. The governing body is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances,
adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City’s Manager, Clerk and Attorney. The City
Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the governing body, for overseeing
the day-to-day operations of the government and for hiring the directors of the various departments.
The City of Winter Springs provides a full range of services, including police protection; the construction and
maintenance of highways, streets and other infrastructure; and recreational facilities, activities and cultural
events. The City maintains both a Water and Sewer Utility Fund, a Stormwater Utility Fund, and a
Development Services Fund, which function, in essence, as departments of the City of Winter Springs and
therefore have been included as an integral part of the City of Winter Springs’ financial statements.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Winter Springs’ financial planning and control.
All departments of the City of Winter Springs are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City
Manager. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget.
The City Manager then presents the proposed budget to the City Commission for review on or before July
1. The City Commission is required to hold public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final
budget no later than September 30, the close of the City’s fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared
by fund (e.g., General Fund), department (e.g., Police Department) and division (e.g., Criminal
Investigation). The City Manager may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of
appropriations between departments, however, require the special approval of the City Commission.
Original and final amended budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual
governmental fund. The General Fund, the Road Improvements Fund and the Solid Waste/Recycling Fund,
are presented on pages 22-24 as part of the basic financial statements for the governmental funds. The
non-major governmental funds’ budget comparisons are presented in the governmental fund subsection of
this report which starts on page 77.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is best understood when it is considered from the
broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Winter Springs operates.
Seminole County has adopted a one-cent local government infrastructure sales tax which will be in effect
from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2024. The intent of this legislation is to improve the
infrastructure of the Seminole County public school system and other public infrastructure within the County
and its municipalities. Per the interlocal agreement, 2.99% of net revenues are to be distributed to the City
of Winter Springs. It is estimated that this distribution will be in excess of $2M for the fiscal year 2020-2021.
Approximately 84% of the City’s tax base is comprised of residential properties with a small amount of retail
office and light industrial developments. Per the DR 422 (Certificate of Final Taxable Value) and relative to
the 2019-2020 fiscal year (tax year 2019), the gross taxable value reflects an increase of 9.41% from the
prior year. During fiscal year 2019-2020 (tax year 2019), through prudent fiscal management, the City was
able to maintain the operating millage rate at 2.43 and was able to forgive voted debt millage, therefore
reducing total millage by .0500 mils. At the local level, revenues such as review and permit fees, investment
income and state sales tax revenues continue to hold steady.
New construction in Winter Springs has been robust for the past several years. Tuskawilla crossings is a
single-family residential project currently still under construction and set for completion in late 2021. Single-
family attached projects include Seminole Crossings Townhomes (114 units) and The Hawthorne, located
near the Cross Seminole Trail on SR 434. Commercial construction projects started in 2020 include
Wendy’s, while Chau Medical Center, Chase Bank, and Winter Springs Marketplace have started the
permitting process and should begin construction in 2021.
197
vi
Seminole County Public School system is the 12th largest in the state and widely recognized as a Premier
National School District. It boasts an above average graduation rate and is ranked #1 in STEM. Winter
Springs is home to four elementary schools, one middle and one high school in the district. Winter Springs
is also home to Choices in Learning Charter School, Willow School, The Primrose School, and Creative
Inspiration Journey School which provide diverse educational options. Nearby Seminole State College and
University of Central Florida offer our community an affordable and excellent higher education choice. The
City also continues its partnership with the UCF Business Incubation Program to foster the development of
early-stage businesses in Central Florida.
The City of Winter Springs continues to offer its citizens the highest quality services and community-minded
events. Due to the COVID pandemic this year the City had to get creative with revising the structure and
layout of community events. Movie in the Park was an added event allowing citizens to come together while
keeping their distance. The City also hosts a number of community seasonal events including Spring
Explore Outdoors with free tree giveaways, Celebration of Freedom, Hometown Harvest, a salute to our
veterans in the Veteran’s Day Ceremony, and Winter Wonderland Parade. The City’s Sports Partnerships
include traditional sports such as Babe Ruth Baseball/Softball, Florida Kraze Krush Soccer & Winter Springs
Basketball and Football Leagues. Our very popular summer camp program offers affordable day camp
options and spectacular field trips. With additional protocols in place we are expecting to bring these back
next summer.
The Winter Springs Police Department also coordinates events in the community. In the summer months,
the department hosts its annual Community Youth Outreach program. This program is designed to engage
our youth, in an effort to promote positive interaction and bridge the gap with Law Enforcement. During the
holiday season, children and families in need from Winter Springs are nominated to participate in our annual
‘Shop with a Cop’ festivities. Through the school supply drive the Winter Springs Police Department provides
school supplies to over 200 children with in our community.
The City has a “Perk up Parks” program which is a multi-million dollar Parks initiative with numerous park
upgrades including a new and expanded “Torcaso Cove” at Torcaso Park, which is an ocean, water, and
pirate themed adventure. “Mount Trotwood” received an entrance facelift, and a Trailhead Restroom is being
added at Central Winds Park along with a paved parking lot at the lower baseball fields. Together with the
Winter Springs Senior Association, a number of activities and outings are offered to our seniors, such as
yoga, ceramics and the ever-popular therapy pool. Due to COVID restrictions several of the senior center
activities have been suspended but will reopen in the near future. While being closed the senior center has
gone through several upgrades as well.
Long-term financial planning. The City Commission updated and adopted a 5-year Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP) in September 2017 for fiscal years 2018 through 2022. The CIP is a multi-year prioritized
schedule of improvements that lists each capital improvement with the year of intended purchase/
commencement; annual expenditure; and method of financing. As a part of the update to the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, City staff are preparing an updated 5-year plan to present to the City Commission.
Each year, the plan is reviewed to ensure that all necessary capital improvements are incorporated into the
budget process. It should be noted however, that the CIP is not a static document but a flexible and dynamic
one that may change to reflect changing priorities, opportunities, costs, or financing approach.
Relevant Financial Policies. In fiscal year 2020, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 89,
Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period. This statement eliminates the
requirement to capitalize interest on enterprise fund construction projects. The City also implemented GASB
Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. This
pronouncement provides temporary relief to governments and other stakeholders in light of the COVID-19
pandemic by postponing the effective dates of provisions in certain other statements. There was no effect
on the beginning balances of the City for the implementation of either statement.
198
vii
Major Initiatives. Continued improvements in customer service and information reporting are on-going,
such as upgrades in several behind the scenes technological systems. Upgrades and refurbishment of the
City’s Water and Wastewater Plants and recreational facilities. Infrastructure replacement and improvement
in transportation such as bridge and roadway replacement. There have also been and will continue to be
city-wide safety improvements across parks, sidewalk replacements, and roadway improvements.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Winter Springs for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. This was the
twentieth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, the government must publish an easily readable and efficiently-organized
Comprehensive Financial Report. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current annual report
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program requirements and will be submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another fiscal year.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of
the entire staff of the Finance Department. We would like to express our appreciation to all members of the
department who assisted and contributed to its preparation. Other City departments, although not
extensively involved in year-end audit activities, contributed significantly by ensuring the accuracy and
integrity of accounting information compiled throughout the year. Without their diligence, the work of the
Finance Department would have been considerably more difficult. Appreciation must also be expressed to
the City’s auditors whose suggestions and attention to detail enhanced the quality of this report.
In closing, we would also like to express appreciation to the Mayor and the City Commission for their support
and for maintaining high standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Winter Springs’
finances.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Winter Springs, Florida
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, (the “City”) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance
of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of The City, as
of September 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the
respective budgetary comparison for the general fund, road improvements special revenue fund, and solid waste/recycling special
revenue fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis,
budgetary comparison information, pension and other postemployment benefits disclosures as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited
procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
204
Page | 2
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise The City’s basic
financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical
section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual
nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 24, 2021 on our consideration of The
City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,
and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering The City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Page | 3
As management of the City of Winter Springs we offer readers of the City of Winter Springs’ financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Winter Springs for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. We
encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our
letter of transmittal which can be found on pages iv - vi of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Winter Springs exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of
the most recent fiscal year by $133,403,012 (net position). Of this amount, $32,437,711 (unrestricted net position) may be
used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
As a result of the current year’s activities, the government’s total net position increased by $12,474,213 or 10.32% from the
prior year.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Winter Springs’ governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $38,408,217. Approximately 22% of this total amount, $8,560,892, is available for spending at the government’s discretion
(unassigned fund balance).
At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $8,597,379, or 58% of total general fund
expenditures.
As a result of current year’s activities, the City of Winter Springs’ total debt decreased by $2,071,359 (6%).
Overview of the Financial Statements
The financial statements focus on both the City as a whole (government-wide) and on the major individual funds. Both perspectives
(government-wide and major fund) allow the user to address relevant questions, broaden a basis for comparison (year-to-year or
government-to-government) and enhance the City’s accountability.
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Winter Springs’ basic financial statements, which
are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the
financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Winter Springs’
finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City of Winter Springs’ assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Winter Springs is improving or declining.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All
changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Winter Springs that are principally supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant
portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Winter
Springs include general government, public safety, physical environment and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of
the City of Winter Springs include a Water and Sewer Utility, Stormwater Utility and Development Services.
206
City of Winter Springs, Florida
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Page | 4
The government-wide financial statements include only the City of Winter Springs itself (known as the primary government). The City
of Winter Springs had no component units. The Water and Sewer Utility, the Stormwater utility, and Development Services function as
departments of the City of Winter Springs, and therefore, have been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16-17 of this report.
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 Winter Springs, 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 Winter Springs 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.
The City of Winter Springs maintains 22 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, Road Improvements Special Revenue Fund, and Solid Waste/Recycling Special Revenue Fund, all three of which are
considered to be major funds. Data from the other 19 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The City of Winter Springs adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental funds. Budgetary comparison statements have
been provided for the General Fund, Road Improvements Special Revenue Fund, and Solid Waste/Recycling Special Revenue Fund
to demonstrate compliance with this budget on pages 22-24. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided for the nonmajor
funds on pages 78-95.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18-21 of this report.
Proprietary Funds
The City of Winter Springs maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented
as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City of Winter Springs uses enterprise funds to account
for the Water and Sewer Utility, Stormwater Utility and Development Services department.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The
proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water and Sewer Utility, Stormwater Utility, and
Development Services.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25-29 of this report.

City of Winter Springs, Florida
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Page | 5
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
own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund
financial statements can be found on pages 30-31 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and
fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 32-59 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information (RSI)
RSI can be found on pages 60-64 of this report.
Other Information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented after this.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 65-76 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
Statement of Net Position
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the
City of Winter Springs, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred outflows by $133,403,012 at
the close of the most recent fiscal year.
Of the City of Winter Springs’ net position, $82,307,317 or 62%, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery and equipment); less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City of Winter Springs uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City of Winter Springs’ investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.
Net position subject to external restrictions as to how it may be used total $18,657,984 (14%). The remaining balance of unrestricted
net position ($32,437,711 or 24%) may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At September 30, 2020, the City of Winter Springs is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the
government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities. This was also the case at the close of
the prior fiscal year.

Statement of Changes in Net Position
The following table reflects the Statement of Changes in Net Position for the current and prior year. For more detailed
information see the Statement of Activities on page 17.
As a result of the current year’s activities, the government’s total net position increased by $12,474,213 or 10.32% from the prior
year. The previous fiscal year, 2019, net position increased by $11,309,586.
Governmental activities increased net position by $4,274,796 in fiscal year 2020 compared to an increase of $6,325,542 in 2019.
The increase in net position for fiscal year 2020 is less than the prior year’s increase primarily due to recognition of FEMA
reimbursement in the prior year.
Business-type activities increased net position by $8,199,417 in fiscal year 2020 compared to an increase of $4,984,044 in 2019.
The increase in net position in fiscal year 2020 is more than the prior fiscal year’s increase primarily due to contributed assets
and grant revenues.
Following the Changes in Net Position table is a series of bar and pie charts that relay in pictorial form the revenues and
expenses for each of the governmental and business-type activities as well as the revenue “source” for each.
Additional information regarding the changes in fund balance of the governmental and business-type activities can be found in
the section entitled Financial Analysis of Government’s Funds on page 11.
Note that the first graph depicts governmental program-specific revenues and expenses. For this graph the revenue does not
include property taxes, utility taxes, business tax receipts, intergovernmental revenue, investment income or miscellaneous
revenue. This chart is intended to show the amount of program expenses funded by specific program revenues.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Winter Springs uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City of Winter Springs’ governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Winter Springs’ 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, 2020, the City of Winter Springs’ governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$38,408,217, an increase of $1,804,582 over the prior year. Approximately 22% or $8,560,892 of this total amount constitutes
unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance is
restricted, committed or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for
such purposes as debt service, capital projects, inventories and prepaid costs.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Winter Springs. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund
balance of the General Fund was $8,597,379, while total fund balance was $8,935,394. As a measure of the General Fund’s
liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unassigned and total fund balance represents 58% and 60% respectively, of total General Fund expenditures. The increase in
fund balance of $237,283 is primarily the result of increased taxes and reduced capital outlay.
The Road Improvements Fund balance increased $1,074,289 due to the deferral of budgeted capital projects.
The Solid Waste Fund net position decreased by $266,454. This decrease is primarily due to increased collection costs.
Proprietary Funds
The City of Winter Springs’ proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial
statements but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the Water and Sewer Utility Fund at the end of the year amounted to $17,024,692 and total net
position increased $5,107,501 to $36,751,107. The increase in net position in fiscal year 2020 is more than the prior fiscal year’s
increase primarily due to increased consumption and contributed capital assets.
The Development Services Fund net position increased as a result of current year activities by $1,144,058 to $6,371,018 at the
end of the fiscal year. The increase in net position is less than the prior fiscal year’s increase due to reduced development
activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Stormwater Utility Fund net position increased as a result of current fiscal year activities by $1,947,858 to $9,600,108 at the
end of the fiscal year. This increase in net position is due to capital contributions and a decrease in repair and maintenance
costs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Differences between the original General Fund budget and the final amended General Fund budget resulted in a minor decrease
of $7,240 in appropriation to fund balance.

City of Winter Springs, Florida
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Page | 12
The actual results of General Fund for the year show an appropriation to fund balance of $237,283 compared to a final budgeted
appropriation to fund balance of $129,695. The favorable variance of $107,588 is comprised of a favorable revenues and
expenditure variance, as well as an unfavorable transfers variance. The favorable expenditure variance of $149,422 is displayed
in the departmental cost centers below:
General Government 92,234$
Public Safety 1,314
Physical Environment 5,625
Culture & Recreation 50,249
Total 149,422$
This favorable variance is represented by the following expenditure categories as both amounts and percentage of budget:
Payroll (23,796)$ -0.1%
Other Operating 213,581 1.4%
Capital (40,363) -0.3%
Total 149,422$ 1.0%
Although payroll reflects a slight negative variance it should be noted that this was due to payroll budget transfers and movement
of employees between cost centers. Total payroll costs did not exceed that which was originally budgeted and was more than
offset by favorable variances within the respective departmental cost centers as reflected above.
The comparison of budgeted results to actual results for the General Fund is shown on pages 22.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
Through conservative fiscal policies and aggressive budget oversight, the City Manager and City Commission maintained the
operating millage rate at 2.4300 for FY2020 and reduced the operating millage for FY2021 to 2.4100. The voted debt millage rate
was eliminated for FY2020. The gross property tax values in Winter Springs increased in FY2020 by 9.4% and have increased
an approximate 7.9% in FY2021. In May 2014, a countywide precinct referendum resulted in an additional 1% local government
infrastructure sales surtax, which will largely be utilized for transportation related to infrastructure improvements. The surtax is
expected to result in $2.0 million in additional revenues each year and expires in 2024.
The General Funds’s FY2020 adopted expenditure budget of $19,101,792 (inclusive of transfers) marked an increase of 2.8%
from the previous year. For FY2021 the adopted expenditure budget is $18,143,551, a slight decrease of 5% from FY2020. The
total combined expenditure budget of FY 2021 $51,095,990 (inclusive of transfers) is $374,076 or .8% less than the adopted
budget of FY2020.

Statement of Net Position
September 30, 2020
Total Fund Balance, governmental funds 38,408,217$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are different
because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds.59,122,076
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and,
therefore, are deferred in the funds.1,069,088
Deferred inflows and outflows of resources related to pension earnings are not recognized in
the governmental funds, however, they are recorded in net position under full accrual
accounting 706,589
Long-term liabilities,including bonds payable,are not due and payable in the current period
and therefore are not reported in the funds.(12,537,464)
Net pension liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore, are not
reported in the funds (6,087,727)

The accompanying Notes to Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.Page | 20 228
Net Change in Fund Balances - total governmental funds:1,804,582$
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report outlays for capital assets 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. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the
current period.(921,889)
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e.sales,trade-ins and
disposals) is to decrease net position.(513,972)
Contributions of capital assets are not reported as revenues in the governmental funds.2,160,784
The issuance of long-term debt 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 position. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first
issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This
amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.514,943
The payment of accreted interest that was recognized in a prior year is not reported as an expense
on the statement of activities.857,119
Special assessment revenue reported in the funds must be eliminated from the statement of
activities since revenue was recognized in a prior year.(97,062)
Cash pension contributions reported in the funds were less than the calculated pension expense on
the statement of activities, and therefore decreased net position.1,062,862
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and these are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.(592,571)

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
The City of Winter Springs, Florida (the City) is a political subdivision of the state of Florida located in Seminole County and was
established by the Laws of Florida 59-1614. The legislative branch of the City is comprised of a five-member elected Commission and
a separately elected mayor, which 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 City Manager
appointed by the Commission.
In evaluating how to define the government, for financial reporting purposes, the City has considered all potential component units.
The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially
accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its
officials appoint a voting majority of an organization’s governing body, and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or
there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary
government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on
it.
A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects or
activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the
primary government (a) is entitled to the organizations’ resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to
finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the
organization. In applying the above criteria, management has determined that there are no component units to be included within the
reporting entity.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information
on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported
separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by
program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided
by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are
reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter
are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual
enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized
as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the
end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are
recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current
period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
The government reports the following funds:
Major Governmental Funds
General Fund - is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government,
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Road Improvements Special Revenue Fund - accounts for collected one-cent sales tax revenues restricted for use for
transportation, safety, capacity and infrastructure consistent with 212.055, F.S.
Solid Waste/Recycling Special Revenue Fund - accounts for proceeds from billed solid waste and recycling services performed
by contract vendors. Proceeds are committed to pay monthly vendor charges for providing solid waste and recycling services.
Nonmajor Governmental Fund Types
Special Revenue Funds - account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted or committed to
expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
Debt Service Funds - account for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of principal and interest on certain general
governmental obligations.
Capital Projects Funds - account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
Major Proprietary Funds
Water and Sewer Utility Fund - used to account for the operations of the City’s water and wastewater systems, which are
financed in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the costs, including depreciation, of providing services to the
general public on an ongoing basis are financed primarily through user charges.
Development Services Fund - is used to account for the operations of the City’s building and other permits department, where
the costs, including depreciation, of providing services to the general public are financed primarily through user charges.
Stormwater Utility Fund - used to account for the City’s operation and maintenance of the stormwater system, where the costs,
including depreciation, of providing services to the general public are financed primarily through user charges.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fiduciary Fund
The Pension Trust Fund accounts for contributions to the defined benefit plan.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions
to this general rule are other charges between the City’s water and sewer function and various other functions of the
government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges
provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s water, sewer and stormwater utility funds are charges to
customers for sales and services. The City also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the
cost of connecting customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported
as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources
first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net Position or Fund Balance
Deposits and Investments
The government’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments
with original maturities of less than 2 years from the date of acquisition.
Investments for the City are reported at fair value and are categorized within the fair value hierarchy established in accordance
with GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are
referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e.,
the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other
funds.” 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 in applicable
governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The County bills and collects property taxes and remits them to
the City. City property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
All property is reassessed according to its fair value on the lien date, or January 1 of each year. Taxes are levied on October 1 of
each year. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of November, 3% in the month of December,
2% in the month of January, and 1% in the month of February. The taxes paid in March are without discount. All unpaid taxes
become delinquent on April 1 following the year in which they are assessed. On or around May 31 following the tax year,
certificates are sold for all delinquent taxes on real property.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as
expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both
government-wide and fund financial statements. These are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when
purchased.
Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City’s enterprise fund revenue bonds and notes, as well as certain resources set aside for their
repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate bank accounts and
their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Assets so designated are identified as restricted assets on the balance sheet.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar
items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 or more and an estimated
useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not
capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful
lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 30
Improvements 20-50
Infrastructure 30-50
Intangible Assets 3-10
Equipment 3-10

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability
for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the government does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate
from service with the government. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund
financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a
result of employee resignations and retirements. For governmental activities, compensated absences, other post-employment
benefits and net pension obligation are generally liquidated by the General Fund.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and for proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and
other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts (including deep-discount or capital appreciation
bonds), are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds and notes using the effective interest method. Bonds payable and
notes payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance
costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
Issuances costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The
City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The deferred charge on refunding and deferred outflows of pension
and OPEB reported in the enterprise and government-wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results
from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over
the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has one
type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category.
Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds
report unavailable revenues from two sources: county taxes and special assessments. These amounts are deferred and
recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The City also has deferred inflows of
pension and OPEB reported in the enterprise and government-wide statement of net position.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the
amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow
assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider
restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the city will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of
committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed,
assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about
the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have
been depleted before using any components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund
balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Fund Balance Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of
resources for specific purposes. The City itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment
(committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a
formal action of the government’s highest level of decision making authority. The City Commission is the highest level of decision
making authority for the City that can, by adoption of a Resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once
adopted, the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another
resolution) to remove or revise the limitation.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the
criteria to be classified as committed. The commission may assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to
cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments,
assignments generally only exist temporarily.
The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance. However, in other governmental funds, if
expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it
may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
New GASB Statement Implemented
In fiscal year 2020, the City implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest
Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period. This statement eliminates the requirement to capitalize interest on enterprise
fund construction projects. The City also implemented GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain
Authoritative Guidance. This pronouncement provides temporary relief to governments and other stakeholder in light of the COVID-19
pandemic by postponing the effective dates of provisions in certain other statements. There was no effect on beginning balances of
the City for the implementation of either statement.

NOTE 2 RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-Wide Statement of
Net Position
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance - total governmental funds and net position -
governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that
“long-term liabilities, including bonds 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:
Bonds payable (3,081,089)$
Accreted interest payable (6,686,253)
Notes payable (1,128,333)
Less: deferred charge on refunding (to be amortized as interest expense)9,289
Accrued interest payable (18,335)
Other post employment benefits (1,072,732)
Compensated absences (560,011)
Net Adjustment to Reduce Fund Balance, total governmental funds to arrive
at net position, governmental activities (12,537,464)$
Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balances and the Government-Wide Statement of Activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net
changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and changes in net position 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 Outlay 3,738,360$
Depreciation Expense (4,660,249)
Net Adjustment to Decrease Net Changes in Fund Balances, total governmental
funds to arrive at changes in net position, governmental activities (921,889)$
Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of

NOTE 3 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental funds. All annual
appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The City follows these procedures set forth below in establishing the budgetary data reflected
in the financial statements.
1. On or before July 1st of each year, the City Manager submits a Proposed Budget to the City Commission for the fiscal year
beginning the following October 1st. The budget includes proposed revenues, expenditures and a description of capital activities
for the ensuing fiscal year.
2. The City Commission then holds informal workshops, wherein the public is invited to attend.
3. On or before September 30th of each year, two public hearings are convened and the Commission establishes the ad valorem tax
millage followed by the adoption of the final budget.
4. The budget may be formally amended by the City Commission at any time. Budgeted amounts presented in the accompanying
financial statements have been adjusted for any legally authorized revisions of the annual budgets during the year.
5. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts within a department. At any time during the
fiscal year, the City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriations among programs within one
department. The legal level of budgetary control is the departmental level.

NOTE 4 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Deposits
All bank deposits were covered by Federal Depository Insurance or held in banks that are members of the State of Florida’s Collateral
Pool as specified under Florida law. Florida Statutes provide for collateral pooling by banks and savings and loans. This limits local
government deposits to “authorized depositories”.
Investments
The City’s investment policies are governed by State Statutes and City ordinances. City ordinance allows investments in any financial
institution that is a qualified public depository of the State of Florida as identified by the State Treasurer, in accordance with Chapter
280 of the Florida Statutes. Authorized investments are:
1. Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment Pool (SBA LGIP)
2. U.S. Government securities
3. U.S. Government Agency securities
4. Federal Instrumentalities (U.S. Government sponsored agencies)
5. Interest bearing time deposit or savings accounts
6. Repurchase agreements
7. Commercial paper
8. Bankers’ acceptances
9. State and/or local government taxable and/or tax-exempt debt
10. Registered investment companies (money market mutual funds)
11. Intergovernmental investment pool
The City’s investment policy limits credit risk by restricting authorized investment to those described above. The policy requires that the
investment in federal instrumentalities be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government sponsored agency and that
investments in money market mutual funds have a Standard & Poor’s (S & P) rating of AAm or AAm-G. Investments in commercial
paper and bankers’ acceptances must be rated, at a minimum, “P-1” by Moody’s Investors Services and “A-1” by S & P. Investment in
state and/or local government taxable and/or tax-exempt debt must be rated at least “Aa” by Moody’s and “AA” by S & P for long-term
debt, or rated at least “MIG-2” by Moody’s and “SP-2” by S & P for short-term debt.
Custodial Credit Risk
In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. The city’s
investment policy requires that the bank deposits be secured as provided by Chapter 280, Florida Statutes. This law requires local
governments to deposit funds only in financial institutions designated as qualified public depositories by the Chief Financial Officer of
the State of Florida, and creates the Public Deposits Trust Fund, a multiple financial institution pool with the ability to assess its member
financial institutions for collateral shortfalls if a default or insolvency has occurred. At September 30, 2020, all of the city’s bank deposits
were in qualified public depositories.
For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the government will not be able to recover the value
of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At September 30, 2020, none of the investments
listed are exposed to custodial credit risk because their existence is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy requires diversification, and places limits on the percentage of funds that may be invested with an individual
issuer and type of investment.

NOTE 4 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Interest Rate Risk
The policy limits investment in U.S. Government securities and agencies and federal instrumentalities to a maximum length to maturity
of five years. The maximum length to maturity for an investment in any state or local government debt security is three years.
Certificates of deposit maximum maturity is one year and commercial paper and bankers’ acceptances are 180 days. The maximum
length to maturity for repurchase agreements is 90 days.
Fair Value
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair
value of the asset. The City uses a market approach in measuring fair value that uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets, liabilities, or groups of assets and liabilities.
Assets or liabilities are classified into one of three levels. Level 1 is the most reliable and is based on quoted price for identical
assets, or liabilities, in an active market. Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs when obtaining quoted prices for
identical or similar assets, or liabilities, in markets that are not active. Level 3 is the least reliable, and uses significant
unobservable inputs that uses the best information available under the circumstances, which may include the City’s own data in
measuring unobservable inputs.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2020:

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the government will not be able to recover the value of its
investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At September 30, 2020, none of the Trust
investments listed are exposed to custodial credit risk because their existence is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or
book entry form.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s Trust investment policy requires diversification, and places limits on the percentage of funds that may be invested with an
individual issuer and type of investment. The policy limits an individual issuer of common or capital stock to no more than 5% of the
fund’s assets; the aggregate investment in any one stock issuing company to no more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the
company; and the value of bonds issued by any single corporation to no more than 3% of the total fund. The policy limits investments
in corporate common stock and convertible bonds to no more than 75% of the fund assets at market value; foreign securities to no
more than 20% of fund assets at market value; and alternative investments, such as timber and real estate, to no more than 15% of
the fund assets at market value. At September 30, 2020, there were no security investments in the Trust that were over their
respective limitations.

investments in the Pension portfolio are commingled funds.
The Pension fixed income portfolio may be invested in securities with a maturity up to (30) years, as long as the average duration of
the portfolio will not exceed +/- 125% of the duration of the Policy benchmark. There were no security level fixed income investments
in the Pension Portfolio.

NOTE 9 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The City maintains a single-employer defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to City employees. The pension
plan is maintained as a Pension Trust Fund and is included with the fund financial statements. This pension plan does not issue a
stand-alone financial report. General employees hired on or after October 1, 2011 are no longer eligible for the defined benefit pension
plan, but are eligible for the City’s defined contribution plan. Employees hired as sworn police officers or hired as forensic professionals
on or after October 1, 2011 will continue to participate in the defined benefit plan.
In October 2008, the City consolidated fire services with Seminole County, and firefighters were given the option to either remain in the
City’s pension plan or enroll in the County’s pension plan. As a result, 27 firefighters elected to remain in the City’s pension plan of
which 3 remain although they are no longer employees of the City.
The Board of Trustees of the plan are appointed by the City Commission to make advisory recommendations regarding the plan’s
investment and portfolio strategies. Any recommendations are then taken back to the Commission for final approval.
Plan Membership
At September 30, 2020 plan membership consisted of the following:
Inactive Plan Members or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits 125
Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but Not Yet Receiving Benefits 167
Active Plan Members 73
365
Benefits Provided
For Firefighters, Police Officers and Forensic Professionals, 3% times final average compensation multiplied by accrual service
up to a maximum of 30 years. For General Employees, 3% times accrual service earned through September 30, 2011 times final
average compensation plus 2.5% times accrual service earned after September 30, 2011 times final average compensation, up
to a maximum of 30 years of accrual service.
Contributions
Contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City Commission. The
Plan currently requires employees to contribute 5% of their salary.
Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability was measured as of September 30, 2020, and the pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of October 1, 2019 updated to September 30, 2020. The components of the net pension liability of the sponsor on
September 30, 2020 were as follows:
Total Pension Liability 65,975,808$
Plan Fiduciary Net Position (58,544,989)
Sponsor's Net Pension Liability 7,430,819$
Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of

NOTE 9 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2019 updated to September 30, 2020 using
the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.75%
Salary Increases 3.0% - 4.5%
Investment Rate of Return 7.75%
For healthy General Employee participants, the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table was used with separate rates for males and
females and fully generational mortality improvements projected to each future decrement date with Scale BB. For healthy
Firefighter and Police Officer participants, the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table with Blue Collar Adjustment was used with
separate rates for males and females and fully generational mortality improvements projected to each future decrement date with
Scale BB. For disabled participants, the RP-2000 Combined Disability Mortality Table was used with separate rates for males
and females, without projected mortality improvements.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-
estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expenses and inflation)
are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long term expected rate of return by
weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best
estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of
September 30, 2020 are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class Target Allocation
Long-Term Expected
Real Rate of Return
Domestic Equity 50%10.00%
International Equity 15%11.00%
Domestic Bonds 20%5.00%
International Bonds 5%6.00%
Real Estate 10%7.00%
Total 100%
Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the
discount rate assumed member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and employer contributions will be
made at rates equal to the difference between the actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to
all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 10 DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
In March 2012 the City established the Winter Springs Defined Contribution (General Plan) as a defined contribution plan covering all
full time employees of the City hired after October 1, 2011, not eligible to participate in the Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The plan is
administered by the City. This plan is authorized and may be amended by the City Commission. The City makes employer
contributions of 5%. Employees are eligible to participate in the General Plan after 6 months of employment. Vesting is 0% for the first
3 years, 60% at the end of year 3, 80% at the end of year 4, 100% at the end of year 5. Benefits are available upon termination subject
to IRS regulations, regardless of age, based on vested years of service. Normal retirement age has been designated by the employer
as age 65.
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, employer contributions required and made were $152,199 As of September 30, 2020,
participation in the plan consisted of 80 active members. During the year, the General Plan held no securities issued by the employer.

NOTE 11 OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 112.0801, the City makes continued group health insurance through the city’s
current provider available to retirees and eligible dependents provided certain service requirements and normal age retirement
requirements have been met. This plan is a single employer plan. This benefit has no cost to the City, other than the implicit cost
of including retirees in the group calculation. All premiums are paid by the retiree. The City has chosen pay-as-you-go funding,
but is recording the liability in the government wide financial statements. This plan does not issue stand-alone financial
statements.
As of October 1, 2019, the valuation date, there were 133 active employees and 35 inactive employees or beneficiaries currently
receiving benefits. The OPEB liability of $1,495,067 was measured as of October 1, 2019 and was determined by the actuarial
valuation. The covered payroll was $6,870,391, and the ratio of net OPEB liability as a percentage of covered payroll was
21.76%.
Summary of Actuarial Methods & 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, mortality, and the healthcare
cost trend. 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. The OPEB Liability and Related Ratios Schedule, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to
the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing
or decreasing over time.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and the plan 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 plan members to that point. 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 Total OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods
included in the measurement unless otherwise specified:
Healthcare cost trend rates Based on the Getzen Model starting at 6.0% gradually decreasing to an
ultimate rate of 4.1% in 2040
Valuation Date October 1, 2019
Measurement Date October 1, 2019
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Discount Rate 2.74%
Inflation Rate 2.50%
Salary Rate Increase 3.00% - 4.50%
Retiree's share of benefit related costs
100% of blended health insurance premium rates except by law 0% for
certain conditions for police officers death and disability benefits

NOTE 12 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
All employees of the City may voluntarily elect to participate in one of two available deferred compensation plans created in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plans are administered by Nationwide Retirement Solutions and ICMA
Retirement Corporation. The plans permit participants to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred
compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
Because the Plan Assets are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries, the Plan is not
accounted for in the City’s financial statements.
NOTE 13 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; job-
related illnesses or injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Risk of loss from above is transferred by the City to various
commercial insurers through the purchase of insurance. There has been no significant reduction in insurance coverage from the
previous year. There have been no settlements in excess of insurance coverage in any of the prior three fiscal years.
NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal
government and the State of Florida. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time,
although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Litigation
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the
City’s counsel the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
Commitments Under Construction Contracts
At September 30, 2020, the City had entered into construction contracts in the amount of $2,178,189.
Transportation Impact Fee Credits
The City has entered into a number of agreements with developers under which the developer donates transportation infrastructure
improvements or rights of way to the City and receives credit for future transportation impact fee payments. As of September 30, 2020,

NOTE 15 FUND BALANCE
Minimum Fund Balance Policy
In accordance with Resolution 2002-36, the City designates an amount equal to 20 percent of the total operating expenses of the
General fund to be maintained as a required minimum unreserved fund balance. The purpose of the policy is to provide capacity to (1)
provide sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs, (2) secure and maintain investment grade (i.e. A or above) bond ratings, (3) offset
significant economic downturns or revenue shortfalls, and (4) provide funds for unforeseen expenditures related to emergencies.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Winter Springs, Florida’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for
the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of City of Winter Springs’ internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed
to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider
to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Winter Springs’ financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such
an opinion. The result of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance, or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral
part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Winter Springs, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of City of Winter Springs as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and have
issued our report thereon dated March 24, 2021. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters
relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated August 11, 2020, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is
to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your
oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than
absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of City of Winter Springs solely for the
purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant
to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the
purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of significant accounting
policies adopted by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial
statements, during the year, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 89, Accounting
for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period and GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective
Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional
standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of
significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s
current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s
current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:
Management’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical loss levels, and an analysis of the
individual accounts. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Management’s estimation for the allowance for depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the capital assets. We
evaluated the reasonableness of the useful lives as well as the depreciation methods in determining that it is reasonable in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s allocation of the net pension liability, deferred inflows/outflows and pension expense is based on the
participating employees’ contributions made. We evaluated the reasonableness of the allocation methods in determining
that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s allocation of the net OPEB liability, deferred inflows/outflows and OPEB expense is based on the
participating eligible employee headcounts in each department. We evaluated the reasonableness of the allocation methods
in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting City of Winter Springs’s financial statements relate to the
recording of investments at fair value.
Significant Difficulties Encountered During the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements
identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of
audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements
taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved
to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to City of Winter
Springs’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated March 24,
2021.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management
informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting
matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with City of Winter Springs, we generally discuss a variety of matters,
including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity,
and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted
in a condition to our retention as City of Winter Springs’s auditors.
This report is intended solely for the use of management, the City Commission and the Auditor General of the State of Florida
and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Very truly yours,
