& ASSOCLA TES
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Okeechobee
Okeechobee, Florida
We have examined the financial statements of the various funds and
account groups of the City of Okeechobee, Florida at September 30,
1979 and for the year then ended, as listed in the financial section
of the foregoing Table of Contents (Pages 1 to 9, inclusive).' Our
examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting rec-
ords and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances.
The City does not maintain detailed records of the Water and Sewer
Property or General Fixed Assets, nor is adequate control maintained
over capital additions and retirements, particularly as with regard
to items constructed by the City. We do not know, and it is impractical
to ascertain, if the recorded cost of property and equipment in the
Water and Se\.;er Fund and in the Statement of General Fixed Assets is a
fair presentation of the cost of the City investment in Fixed Assets.
In our opinion, except for the effect of the lack of records and con-
trols on the assets and net income in the Water and Sewer Fund and assets
in the Statement of General Fixed Assets, the aforementioned financial
statements present fairly the financial position of the various funds
and account groups of the City of Okeechobee, Florida at September 30,
1979 and the results of operations of such funds and the changes in
financial position of the Water and Sewer Fund for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1979
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Generally accepted accounting principles applicable to local governmental units
have been promulgated by the Municipal Finance Officers Association's National
Committee on Governmental Accounting and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants' Committee on Governmental Accounting and Auditing. The accounting
policies of the City of Okeechobee &o~form to these generally accepted accounting
principles. .
Basis of Accounting - The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed for all
governmental funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual and
expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability in in-
curred. Proprietary and fiduciary funds follow the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments - Investments in certificates of deposit are stated at cost.
General Fixed Assets - General fixed assets are recorded as expenditures in the
General Fund at the time of purchase and capitalized at cost in the general fixed
asset group of accounts.
Utility Plant - Additions to Utility Plant are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed on a composite annual rate of 2-1/2 percent.
Note 2 - Revenue Bonds Pavable
J
The 1958 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds are secured by a pledge of net revenues of the
Water and Sewer System and the utility taxes. The bonds bear interest at the rate of
4-1/2 percent and are due in annual principal installments ranging from $16,000 to
$23,000 with the final payment due in 1988.
The 1972 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds are secured by a pledge of net revenues of the
Water and Sewer System and cigarette taxes. The bonds bear interest at the rate of
5 percent and are due in annual principal installments ranging from $5,000 to $24,000
with the final payment due in 2012.
Note 3 - General Obligation Bonds Payable
The general obligation bonds are secured by the full faith and credit of the City.
The bonds are being retired by a levy of ad valorem taxes. The bonds bear interest
at rates varying between 6.75 percent to 7.5 percent and are due in annual principal
installments ranging from $15,000 to $35,000 with the final payment due in 1996.
Note 4 - Contributed Capital

Note 5 - Revenue Bond Reserve and Retirement Funds
The 1958 and 1972 Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Ordinances require, among other things,
deposits on a monthly basis, 6f amo~~ts necessary to provide for semi-annual interest
and annual principal requirements. In'addition, the 1958 Revenue Bond Ordinance re-
quires a reserve equal to the largest annual bond principal and interest payment while
the 1972 Revenue Bond Ordinance requires a reserve of $23,400. At September 30, 1979,
the amounts required and the amounts on deposit are as follows:
Cash Balance - September 30, 1979

Note 6 - Depreciation Fund
The 1958 Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Ordinance requires that a Depreciation Fund of
$25,000 be maintained. The Fund may be used, with the approval of the City Council,
to pay for capital additions or unforeseen emergencies. At September 30, 1979, the
Fund was $6,767 in excess of requirements.
Note 7 - Pensions
The City has three pension plans, which cover substantially all employees except the
City Council, Mayor, and City Attorney. The total pension expense for the year 1979
was $10,200. The actuarial1y computed value of vested benefits for all plans has
not been determined. The plan year for the pension funds ends December 31 and annual
reports are issued on that basis.
Note 8 - Contingency
The City is presently involved in a class action suit that was filed in the Federal
District Court seeking relief which would require the expenditure of substantial
funds. The suit also seeks to order the City to place in an escrow account an amount
of money equal to the Federal Revenue Sharing money previously received by the City.

Okeechobee. Florida
Our examination of the financial statements of the City of Okeechobee,
Florida was made primarily for the purpose of formulating an opinion
on the financial s~atements taken as a whole. The information presented
on Pages 11 through 18 inclusive, although not considered necessary for
a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and
changes in financial position in conformity with generally accepted ac-
counting principles, is presented for supplementary analysis purposes.
This information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in
our examination of the financial statements and is, in our opinion,
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

Honorable }fuyor and City C~~cil
City of Okeechobee
Okeechobee, Florida
We have examined the financial statements of the various funds and
account groups of the City of Okeechobee, Florida for the year ended
September 30, 1979. Our examination was made in accordance with gen-
erally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests
of the ~ccounting records and such other auditing procedures as we con-
sidered necessary in the circumstances.
The ordinance authorizing the issuance of the 1958 Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds requires that the audit contain an analysis regarding
the adequacy of the acts of the City and its officers in carrying out
the requirements of the resolution.
~ong the requirements of the ordinance are the following:
(1) Money in the Sinking Fund in excess of the amount
of interest and principal coming due in the ensuing
twelve months may be invested in direct obligations
or guaranteed securities of the United States of
America.
(2) Allor any part of the Depreciation Fund may be
invested in direct obligations or guaranteed
securities of the United States of America.
The investments made from the Sinking Fund and Depreciation Fund during.
the year were in certificates of deposit in the Okeechobee County Bank
a~d First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Okeechobee County.
Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that any other
requirements of the 1958 Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Ordinance were
not complied \,lith. HO\vever, it should be noted that our examination
was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such non-
compliance.
