INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Atlantis, Florida Atlantis, Florida

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Atlantis, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Atlantis, Florida’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City of Atlantis, Florida’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 City of Atlantis, Florida’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 opinion.

Opinion 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, and each major fund of the City of Atlantis, Florida, as of September 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, the cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 27, 2017, on our consideration of the City of Atlantis, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting and 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 the 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 City of Atlantis, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. 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 schedule and other required supplementary information as reflected in the table of contents, on pages 3 through 10 and 58 through 63, 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 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.

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The three components of the financial statements are:

• Government-wide financial statements that include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Net Position. These statements provide information about the activities of the City as a whole.

• Fund financial statements that tell how these services were financed in the short term, as well

as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.

• Notes to the financial statements, provide more information about amounts reported in the

government-wide and fund financial statements as well as information about the City as a whole.

REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Net Position (Government-wide) A frequently asked question regarding the City’s financial health is whether the year’s activities contributed positively to the overall financial well-being. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Net Position report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid. These two statements report the City’s net assets and changes therein. Net assets, the difference between assets and liabilities, are one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets are an indicator of whether the financial health is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Net Position present information about the following:

• Governmental activities – All of the City’s basic services are considered to be governmental activities, including general government, public safety, protective inspections, and physical environment. Property taxes, franchise taxes, building permit fees, sales tax, and grants from other governments finance most of these activities.

• Business-type activities – The City’s water, sewer, and stormwater utility is reported in this

category. The City charges a fee to customers to cover the cost of the services provided.

REPORTING THE CITY’S FUNDS Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the individual funds – not the City as a whole. The City’s three kinds of funds; governmental, proprietary and fiduciary use different accounting approaches as explained below.

1) Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in a governmental fund. Governmental funds focus on how resources flow in and out, with the balances remaining at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called the modified accrual accounting method, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information shows whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The City reports one governmental fund – the general fund. The general fund financial statements can be found on pages 14-17 of this report.

2) Proprietary funds – Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Fund Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Assets. The City’s only proprietary fund is the water and sewer utility and stormwater funds, which charges customers for the services it provides. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on page 18-20 of this report.

3) Fiduciary funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. These include the Police Officer’s Pension Fund and the City’s 457 Deferred Compensation Plan. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements 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 21-22 of this report. However, since the City’s Deferred Compensation Plan is a qualified plan, it is not required to be presented in these financial statements and is not included in the fiduciary fund financial statements.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, total assets minus total liabilities equaled $8.3 million in net assets at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The City’s portion of net assets (32%) that is unrestricted and that may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors is approximately $2.7 million. Another portion (58%) reflects the City’s investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, streets, etc.). The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, continued Governmental Activities, continued The City’s programs include General Government, Public Safety (law enforcement and fire control), Protective Inspections, and Physical Environment. Each program’s net cost (total cost, less revenues generated by the activities) is presented below. The net cost shows the extent to which the City’s gen-eral taxes support each of the City’s programs.

The cost of all governmental activities this year was $5.5 million. As shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Position, approximately $668,000 of this cost was paid by those who directly benefited from the programs or from grants and contributions, with the remaining amount financed through general revenues and related income. Business-Type Activities Net assets of the Proprietary Fund (water, sewer, and stormwater utility) as of September 30, 2016, were approximately $5.5 million. The cost of providing all Proprietary (business-type) activities this year was approximately $1.4 million. As shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Position, customers paid approximately $1.8 million and investment income was approximately $22,000, leaving a change in net assets of approximately $99,000.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds – The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. The focus of the general fund is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS, continued As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s general fund reported an ending fund balance of approximately $3.0 million, an increase of approximately $169,000 from the prior year. This increase is attributable to the results from operations. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare the fund balances to the total expenditures. Fund balance represents 54% of total general fund expenditures. In 2008, the State Board of Administration froze $415,971 of the City’s investment in the fund. The fol-lowing table shows the maturities of Pool A (contained in cash and cash equivalents), Pool B (con-tained in investments), and the estimated unrealized (gain) loss in Pool B.

Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 4 of this report. NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND ECONOMIC FACTORS

The outlook for fiscal year 2016-2017 is positive. The Ad Valorem tax value of the City increased 4.3% over the fiscal 2016 value. This has enabled the City to stabilize the revenue and budget some needed projects. Subsequent to the fiscal year end a ballot initiative for an Infrastructure Surtax adding one cent to the local sales tax was passed by the voters in Palm Beach County. The City will share in the revenue generated by this tax over a 10-year period. These proceeds may be used for the City’s infrastructure needs. Building activity continues to be strong. Commercial developments of a gas station-convenience store and a self-storage facility were nearing completion at the end of the fiscal year. JFK Hospital projects including the expansion of a parking garage plus the expansion of a patient tower are nearing completion. The hospital has applied for development review for a $100 Million project to include a new patient tower along with parking and energy facilities to support the expansion. Construction is expected to commence by the summer of 2017. The City finances are healthy, with several planned projects for fiscal year 2016-2017. These projects include the resurfacing of the tennis courts, and a road resurfacing project. Prior to the road project, the final piece of the Military Trail entrance improvement was completed with new island landscaping. The road improvement project was then completed. Our stormwater fund completed a minor pipe replacement project. The water and sewer utility is in the process of completing the generator at the water plant. A additional generator for the master lift station is planned in 2016-2017. The City Council and management have a positive outlook for the future. The overall economy is better than in recent years. The new revenue source will assist in completing additional road resurfacing projects in the years to come.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The City of Atlantis, Florida (the City) was chartered on June 19, 1959, under the provisions of the State of Florida. The City operates under the Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety (police and fire), streets, sanitation, health and social services, culture and recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governments. As required, the City follows Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies: The Reporting Entity These basic financial statements include all of the funds relevant to the operations of the City. The financial statements presented herein do not include agencies which may have been formed under applicable state laws as separate and distinct units of government apart from the City. The financial statements of the City include those funds of separately administered organizations that are controlled by or dependent on the City. Control or dependence is determined on the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority, funding, and appointment of the respective governing board. Based on the foregoing criteria, the financial statements of the Atlantis Utilities Department are included in the accompanying financial statements. The operations of the Atlantis Utilities Department are reported in the water and sewer, and stormwater system fund, both separate enterprise funds. Based on the application of the criteria set forth by the GASB, the City is not aware of any entity that would consider the City to be a component unit. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements

• Government-Wide Financial Statements - The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Net Position) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the City. Governmental activities, which are normally 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 Changes in Net Position reflects the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. 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 program and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements, continued

• Fund Financial Statements - The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts, which are comprised of each fund’s assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and for individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. The various funds are grouped in the fund financial statements as follows:

• Governmental Fund Type - The City reports only one governmental fund. The general fund

is the primary operating fund and is used to account for all financial resources applicable to the general operations of the City except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

• Proprietary Fund Type - The City reports two proprietary funds – enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The accounting policies of the enterprise fund conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to commercial businesses, and Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) pronouncements are applied accordingly. The City’s water, sewer, and stormwater system fund are used to account for the activities related to the water, sewer, and stormwater utilities. The stormwater fund is considered a non-major fund and is therefore combined with the water and sewer fund in the financial statements.

Fiduciary Fund Types The City reports the following fiduciary fund:

• Pension Trust Fund - The pension trust fund accounts for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity for the City of Atlantis Police Officers’ Pension Fund. The pension trust fund is accounted for essentially the same as the proprietary fund since capital maintenance is critical.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued 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 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. 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 City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. 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. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. The proprietary fund and pension trust fund are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting and the flow of economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with the activity are included on the balance sheet. The proprietary fund operating statement presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. Unbilled utility service receivables of the water, sewer, and stormwater system fund are recorded at year-end. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods or services in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s water, sewer, and storm water system fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise fund 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 non-operating revenues and expenses.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:

• Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the

General Fund as well as for the Enterprise Fund. These budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• The City Council approves, by resolution, total budget appropriations only. The City Manager is

authorized to transfer budget amounts between departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any fund must be approved by the City Council. Therefore, the level of budgetary responsibility is by total appropriations; however, for report purposes, this level has been expanded to a functional basis (General Government, Public Safety, etc.).

• Unused appropriations for all of the above annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of year. • Normally, the budget amounts shown in the budgetary comparison schedule represent both the

original and the final authorized amounts as revised during the year. The current year budget was revised, and therefore, the final budget is presented compared to the actual results.

As required by GASB Statement No. 34, a budgetary comparison schedule is presented for the general fund. Budgetary comparison schedules are not required, and have not been presented for the enterprise fund. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in demand deposits as well as in money market accounts and in highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Proprietary Fund Type (enterprise – utility) considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments Statutes authorize the City to invest in certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, passbooks, bankers' acceptances and other available bank investments provided that approved securities are pledged to secure those funds on deposit in an amount equal to the amount of those funds. In addition, the City may invest in direct debt securities of the United States unless law expressly prohibits such an investment. The pension trust fund is also authorized to invest in various instruments in accordance with the State of Florida Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement Law. As of the report date, the pension trust investments consisted of a diversified collection of income and equity based mutual funds. The pension trust investments are carried at fair value, and are uninsured and unregistered as of September 30, 2016.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Investments, continued In computing realized gain or loss, investments are stated at amortized cost determined on a FIFO basis. The calculation of realized gains and losses is independent of the calculation of the net change in the fair value of investments. Also, realized gains and losses on investments that have been held in more than one fiscal year, and sold in the current year, may have included a change in the fair value of investments reported in the prior year(s) and the current year. Receivables Receivables in the Proprietary Fund (enterprise – utility) consist of water, sewer, and stormwater bills owed by City residents and commercial customers and financed water connection charges. The City has no significant concentration in receivables that, if uncollected, would materially affect the financial statements. The City evaluates the collectability of its receivables based on a combination of factors. Management believes that all amounts will be collected in full and no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established. Capital Assets and Depreciation Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements. The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the capital assets associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. General capital assets are assets of the City as a whole. When purchased, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and capitalized as assets in the government-wide Statement of Net Position. General capital assets are carried at historical cost. Where cost cannot be determined from the available records, estimated historical cost has been used to record the estimated value of the assets. Assets acquired by gift or bequest are recorded at their fair value at the date of donation. Capital assets of the enterprise fund are capitalized in the fund itself. The valuation basis for enterprise fund capital assets are the same as those used for general capital assets. Additions, improvements, and other capital outlay that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated lives for each major class of depreciable capital assets are as follows: Buildings and improvements 30 years Improvements other than buildings 10 - 30 years Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3 - 10 years Streets 30 years

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Deferred Outflow or Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position will periodically report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, rep-resents 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 deferred outflows of resources relate to the pensions (Note 3). Revenue Received in Advance Revenue received in advance consists of payments to the City received in advance for licenses and permits. In addition, the Atlantis Utility Department received payments from all customers for future wastewater capacity when more volume is needed. This amount is reflected as a deferred inflow of resources in the Statement of Changes in Net Position. Benefits Payable - Vacation and Sick Leave All full-time and part-time employees who work a regular schedule shall be granted annual leave with pay. The schedule is graded based on full-time or part-time status and on the number of years worked. For example, a full-time time employee earns twelve days of vacation after twelve months of employment. Vacation can be carried over from one year to the next. However, employees must use two thirds of current year vacation by the end of the fiscal year and are able to accrue one third for use in the subsequent fiscal year or for payout upon termination. Termination payments are limited to a maximum of 240 hours for employees with more than 1 but less than 20 years of service and 500 hours for employees with 20 or more years of service. Sick leave will be earned at the rate of one day per month not to exceed twelve days per fiscal year for all full-time employees. Sick leave will begin to accrue when the employee has been in service of the City for six months. Employees can accrue 100% of unused sick leave per fiscal year with no maximum. Termination payments are limited to a maximum of 50% of accrued sick time for employees with more than 5, but less than 10 years of service, 480 hours, plus ½ of the remaining time up to 960 hours for employees with more than 10, but less than 25 years of service, and 100% of accrued sick time up to 960 hours for employees with more than 25 years of service. Employees with less than 5 years of service are not eligible for sick leave payout. Deferred Inflow of Resources In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will periodically report a separate section for de-ferred 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 deferred inflows of resources relate to the pensions (Note 3).

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Net Assets Net assets in the government-wide Statement of Net Position are displayed in three categories, described as follows:

• Invested in capital assets - consists of capital assets reduced by accumulated depreciation.

• Restricted - consists of net assets that are reported when there are legal limitations imposed on their use by City legislation or external restrictions by other governments, creditors, or grantors.

• Unrestricted - consists of all net assets that do not meet the definition of either of the other two components.

Governmental Fund Balances In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:

• Non-spendable - Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in a non-spendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

• Restricted - Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of the City Charter, the

City Code, state or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors. • Committed - Amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action by

City Council ordinance or resolution. • Assigned - Amounts that are designated for a particular purpose but are not spendable until a

budget ordinance is passed or there is a majority vote approval (for capital projects or debt service) by City Council.

• Unassigned - All amounts not included in other spendable classifications.

Revenue Recognition - Property Taxes The City follows GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Non-exchange Transactions. This statement requires that revenues pertaining to non-exchange transactions be recognized when they become both available and measurable. The City’s application of this statement has had no effect on the reported balances in the financial statements. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of April 1. Tax rolls are completed and become measurable in October. Taxes are levied on November 1 and are due and payable at that time. All unpaid taxes levied November 1 became delinquent April 1 of the following year. Delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible and therefore no allowance for uncollectible taxes is provided.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Use of Restricted Resources When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources (net assets), the City’s policy is to first apply the expense toward restricted resources and then toward unrestricted resources. In governmental funds, the City’s policy is to first apply the expenditure toward restricted fund balance and then to other, less-restrictive classifications—committed and then assigned fund balances before using unassigned fund balances. Pension Plan During the 2004-2005 fiscal year, a decision was made to offer enhanced benefits to its employees by transferring its pension plans for police officers and general employees to the Florida Retirement System (FRS). FRS is a consolidated statewide retirement system for Florida’s public employees administered by the Division of Retirement of the State of Florida. Also in that year, the police officers were given a period of time to opt out of the plan, take a lump sum payment, or join FRS. In response, two active officers elected to opt out, and not participate in the FRS. For those officers and other non-active participants, the existing plan remains with the City and will be terminated upon final payment to the last remaining participant or beneficiary. The Plan has no active participants. For those non-civilian public safety employees that decided to stay in the City plan, they are covered under a defined benefit plan administered by an independent Board of Trustees. The Police Officers’ Pension Fund is accounted for by the City as a separate fiduciary fund. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurement During the year, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, the City’s investments are measured and reported at fair value and classified according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. A government should measure fair value using a valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Fair Value Hierarchy, continued If the fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The categorization of investments within the hierarchy is based up the pricing transparency of the in-strument and should not be perceived as the particular investment’s risk. 2. Deposits and Investments Deposits All of the City’s deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to Florida State Statute, Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. Under the Act, every qualified public depository shall deposit with the Treasurer eligible collateral of the depository to be held subject to his or her order. The Treasurer, by rule, shall establish minimum required pledging levels. The pledging level may range from 25% to 150% of the average monthly balance of public deposits, depending upon the depository’s financial condition and establishment period. All collateral must be deposited with an approved financial institution. Any losses to public depositors are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral, and, if necessary, assessments against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default. As of the year-end, the City’s deposits were covered by federal depository insurance. The City’s deposits are categorized to give an indication of the level of risk assumed by the City as of September 30, 2016. The categories are described as follows:

Category 1 – Insured or collateralized with securities held by the City or by its agent in the City’s

name. Category 2 – Collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution’s trust

department or agent in the City’s name. Category 3 – Uncollateralized.

Cash and cash equivalents on deposit, categorized by level of risk, are as follows:

2. Deposits and Investments, continued Investments Deposits with the State Board of Administration (SBA) are in an external investment pool that invests principally in Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, Commercial Paper, and other approved short-term investments. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, the pool records investments at amortized cost, and securities lending cash collateral at fair value, based on quoted prices. The pool examines the difference between amortized cost and fair value monthly, and is directed to take specific action if the two values differ by more than 0.5%. As of June 30, 2016, (the date of the most recent SBA financial statements) the ratio of amortized cost to fair value was 100.01%. Amortized cost is also used to determine the value of participant’s shares sold and redeemed. Because the difference between amortized cost and fair value is historically negligible (as it was at June 30, 2016), the amounts illustrated approximate fair value. The pool does not require that any local government or State agency participate. Furthermore, the pool is governed by the Florida Administrative Code, and is audited by the Office of the Auditor General. A copy of the SBA’s financial statements is available from the SBA, State of Florida. Deposits with brokers are invested in money market accounts that are not insured. The City is authorized to invest its funds as follows:

• Interest-bearing checking or savings accounts in qualified public depositories, as defined in Florida State Statute 280.02;

• Interest-bearing time deposits in qualified public depositories, as defined in Florida State Statute 280.02;

• The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act, as provided in Florida State Statute 163.01;

• Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;

• Direct obligations of the United States Treasury; • Federal agencies and instrumentalities; • Securities of, or interest in, any open-end or closed-end management-type investment company

or investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. sections 80a-1 et seq., as amended from time to time, provided that the portfolio of such investment company or investment trust is limited to obligations of the United States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such United States Government obligations, and provided that such investment company or investment trust takes delivery of such collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian;

• Other investments authorized by law or by ordinance by the City. Investments of the Police Officers’ Pension Fund can consist of every kind of investment except for: options, futures, municipal bonds, non-investment grade bonds, precious metals, private placements, short sales, purchases on margin, real estate, and partnerships.

2. Deposits and Investments, continued Investments, continued Investments, net of accrued interest receivable of which there was $3,821, and $1,684, for the City and Utility, respectively, as of September 30, 2016, are classified as category 2, and are listed as follows: Total Cost Total Fair Value Fiduciary Fiduciary Enterprise Fund Enterprise Fund Fund - (Pension Fund - (Pension City Utility Trust) City Utility Trust) Unrestricted: Certificates of deposit $ 1,282,000 $ 478,834 $ - $ 1,282,000 $ 478,834 $ - Accrued interest 3,821 1,684 - 3,821 1,684 - 1,285,821 480,518 - 1,285,821 480,518 - Restricted: Renewal and replacement - 50,000 - - 50,000 - Water capacity - 363,604 - - 363,604 - Sewer capacity - 525 - - 525 - Customer - deposits and prepayments - 442,037 - - 442,037 - Total restricted - 856,166 - - 856,166 - Mutual funds - - 883,176 - - 1,229,626 Total $ 1,285,821 $ 1,336,684 $ 883,176 $ 1,285,821 $ 1,336,684 $ 1,229,626 The restricted investments of the utility are held for future water connections. The investments of the pension trust are restricted for payment of retirement benefits. Government wide the City holds through the State Board of Administration (SBA) $129,525 of Fund A (Local Government Investment Pool). Fund A is presented in cash and cash equivalents. Fund A is rated AAAm by Standard and Poor’s. The weighted average days to maturity (WAM) of Fund A at September 30, 2016 is 50 days. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The City mitigates these risks in the general government and the utility by investing primarily in certificates of deposit and holding them until their maturity. As stated above Fund A is rated AAAm by Standard and Poor’s. The methods and assumptions used by the City in measuring the fair value of financial instruments un-der GASB No. 72 are presented below. There has been no change in the methodologies used as of September 30, 2016.

2. Deposits and Investments, continued Investments, continued

Financial instruments measured at fair value in these financial statements consist of the following:

• Investments – consist of certificates of deposit and are valued according to Level 1 based on amortized cost which approximates fair value due to their short term nature of the instru-ment.

The fair value of financial instruments is reported using the input guidance and valuation techniques on a recurring basis described above. 3. Pension Plans Defined Benefit Plans – Multi-Employer Plans Florida Retirement System (FRS Plan) The City employees participate in the FRS Plan, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer Public Employment Retirement System (PERS), with a Deferred Retirement Option Program (“DROP”) for eligible employees. FRS Pension Plan members who retired and chose to participate in DROP are not eligible to become members of the FRS Investment Plan. The FRS provides two cost sharing, multiple employer defined benefit plans administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, and an optional defined contribution plan including: Defined benefit plans:

• the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan (“FRS Plan”) and • the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy (“HIS Plan”).

Defined contribution plan: • the FRS Investment Plan (“Investment Plan”)

Detailed information regarding the FRS and HIS Plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the sepa-rately issued FRS Pension Plan and Other State-Administered Systems Comprehensive Annual Finan-cial Report. A copy can be obtained by sending a written request to: Division of Retirement, P.O. Box 9000, Tallahassee, FL. 32315-9000 Plan Description As a general rule, membership in the FRS is required for all employees working in a regularly estab-lished position for a state agency, City government, district school board, state university, community college, or a participating city or special district within the State of Florida. The FRS provides retire-ment and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The FRS was established and is administered in accordance with Chapter 121, Florida Statutes. Retirees receive a lifetime pension benefit with joint and survivor payment options. Participa-tion by cities, municipalities, special districts, charter schools and metropolitan planning organizations is optional.

3. Pension Plans, continued FRS Plan, continued Type of Benefit Benefits under the FRS Plan are computed on the basis of age, average final compensation, and ser-vice credit. For FRS Plan members enrolled before July 1, 2011:

• Regular class members who retire at or after age 62 with at least six years of credited service or 30 years of service regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 1.6% of their final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary, for each year of credited service.

• Vested members with less than 30 years of service may retire before age 62 and receive re-duced retirement benefits.

• Special Risk Administrative Support class members who retire at or after age 55 with at least six years of credited service or 25 years of service regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 1.6% of their final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary, for each year of credited service.

• Special Risk class members (sworn law enforcement officers, firefighters, and correctional offic-ers) who retire at or after age 55 with at least six years of credited service, or with 25 years of service regardless of age, are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 3.0% of their final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary for each year of credited service.

• Senior Management Service class members who retire at or after age 62 with at least six years of credited service or 30 years of service regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 2.0% of their final average compensation based on the five highest years of salary for each year of credited service.

• Elected Officers’ class members who retire at or after age 62 with at least six years of credited service or 30 years of service regardless of age are entitled to a retirement benefit payable monthly for life, equal to 3.0% (3.33% for judges and justices) of their final average compensa-tion based on the five highest years of salary for each year of credited service.

For Plan members enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, the vesting requirement is extended to eight years of credited service for all these members and increasing normal retirement to age 65 or 33 years of service regardless of age for Regular, Senior Management Service, and Elected Officers’ class mem-bers, and to age 60 or 30 years of service regardless of age for Special Risk and Special Risk Adminis-trative Support class members. Also, the final average compensation for all these members will be based on the eight highest years of salary.

3. Pension Plans, continued FRS Plan, continued As provided in Section 121.101, Florida Statutes, if the member is initially enrolled in the FRS Plan before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual cost-of-living adjustment is three percent per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of three percent determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by three percent. Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement. In addition to the above benefits, the DROP program allows eligible members to defer receipt of monthly retirement benefit payments while continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. There are no required contributions by DROP participants. Contributions Effective July 1, 2011, all enrolled members of the FRS, other than DROP participants, are required to contribute three (3.00%) percent of their salary to the FRS. In addition to member contributions, gov-ernmental employers are required to make contributions to the FRS based on state-wide contribution rates established by the Florida Legislature. These rates are updated as of July 1 of each year. The uniform employer contribution rates by job class for the fiscal year 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively, were as follows:

• Regular—7.37% and 7.26%; • Special Risk Administrative Support—42.07% and 32.95%; • Special Risk—19.82% and 22.04%; • Senior Management Service—21.14% and 21.43%; • Elected Officers’—43.24% and 42.27%; and • DROP participants—12.28% and 12.88%.

These employer contribution rates include 1.26% and 1.66% for the HIS Plan subsidy for the fiscal year 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively. The City’s contributions, including employee contributions, to the FRS Plan totaled $182,956 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, net of $67,869 paid subsequent to the measurement date. The City’s required contribution, including employee contributions, amounted to $362,289 for fiscal year 2016. These rates are updated as of July 1 of each year.

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the City’ 2015-16 fiscal year contributions relative to the 2015-16 fiscal year contributions of all participating members. As of June 30, 2016, the City's proportionate share was .0103%, which was an increase of .00078% from its proportionate share measured as of June 30, 2015. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $163,574.

3. Pension Plans, continued FRS Plan, continued Net Pension Liabilities, continued The total pension liability for each plan was determined by the plans’ actuary and reported in the plans’ valuations dated July 1, 2016. The fiduciary net position used by the actuary to determine the net pension liability (as shown above) was determined on the same basis used by the plan. Each plan’s fiduciary net position is reported in the financial statements and the net pension liability is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Update procedures were not used. The City reported a liability of $2,597,062 for its proportionate share of the FRS Plan net pension liabil-ity. The detail of proportion shares are as follow: Employer Proportionate Employer Employer Employer Share of Net Proportionate Contribution for Proportion Contribution for Proportion at Pension Share of Net Employer / Pension Plan at Prior Pension Plan Current Liability at Prior Pension Agency Employer Funding for Measurement Funding For Measurement Measurement Liability at Number Agency Name Prior Period Date Current Period Date Date Measurement Date 60124 City of Atlantis $231,804 0.0095076% $ 250,825 0.0102854% $1,228,035 $2,597,062 Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Actuarial assumptions for both defined benefit plans are reviewed annually by the Florida Retirement System Actuarial Assumptions Conference. The FRS Plan has a valuation performed annually. The HIS Plan has a valuation performed biennially that is updated for GASB reporting in the year a valuation is not performed. The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2016, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013. Because the HIS Program is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, no experience study has been completed for this program. Actuarial Assumptions

The total pension liability in the July 1, 2016 actuarial valuation was determined using the following ac-tuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 2.60% Salary increases 3.25% Investment rate of return 7.60% Discount rate 7.60%

Municipal bond rate N/A Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP-2000 with Projection Scale BB tables.

3. Pension Plans, continued FRS Plan, continued Actuarial Assumptions, continued The plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return. The benefits received by retirees and beneficiaries are increased by a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) each July based on their June benefit amount (excluding the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy benefit). For retirees who have been retired for less than 12 months on July 1, the first COLA increase is prorat-ed. The COLA applies to all continuing monthly retirement benefits paid under the FRS Plan (i.e., nor-mal and early service retirement benefits and benefits accruing in participant accounts under the DROP, disability retirement benefits, and survivor benefits). The COLA for retirements or DROP partici-pation effective before August 1, 2011, is 3 percent per year. The COLA formula for retirees with an effective retirement date or DROP begin date on or after August 1, 2011, will be the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit divided by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3 percent. Each Pen-sion Plan member with an effective retirement date of August 1, 2011, or after will have an individual COLA factor for retirement. FRS Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a COLA after retirement. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return The long-term expected rate of return on FRS Plan investments was not based on historical returns, but instead is based on a forward-looking capital market economic model. The allocation policy’s descrip-tion of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and includes an ad-justment for the inflation assumption. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic and geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Compound FRS and HIS Plan Annual Annual Target Arithmetic (Geometric) Standard Asset Class Allocation Return Return Deviation Cash 1% 3.2% 3.0% 1.7% Fixed income 18% 4.7% 4.6% 4.6% Global equity 53% 8.1% 6.8% 17.2% Real estate 10% 6.4% 5.8% 12.0% Private equity 6% 11.5% 7.8% 30.0% Strategic investments 12% 6.1% 5.6% 11.1% Total 100% Assumed inflation – mean 2.60% 1.9%

3. Pension Plans, continued

Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS Plan) Plan Description The HIS Plan is a non-qualified, cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes, and may be amended by the Florida legislature at any time. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of State-administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement. Type of Benefit For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment of $5 for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement, with a mini-mum HIS payment of $30 and a maximum HIS payment of $150 per month. To be eligible to receive these benefits, a retiree under a State-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which may include Medicare. In addition to the above benefits, the DROP program allows eligible members to defer receipt of monthly retirement benefit payments while continuing employment with a FRS employer for a period not to exceed 60 months after electing to participate. Deferred monthly benefits are held in the FRS Trust Fund and accrue interest. There are no required contributions by DROP participants Contributions The HIS Plan is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by the Florida Legislature. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS members. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the HIS contribution rate was 1.66 % of payroll. The City contributed 100% of its statutorily required contributions for the current and preceding three years. HIS Plan contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund from which payments are authorized. HIS Plan benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative appropriation. In the event legislative appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy benefits to all participants, benefits may be reduced or cancelled. The City’s contributions, including employee contributions, to the HIS Plan totaled $29,035 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, net of $6,955 paid subsequent to the measurement date.

3. Pension Plans, continued HIS Plan, continued Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions, continued At September 30, 2016, the City reported a liability of $661,367 for its proportionate share of the HIS Plan’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the City’s 2015-2016 fiscal year contributions relative to the contributions of all participating members. At September 30, 2016, the City's proportionate share was .0057%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $32,143. In addition the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Deferred Outflows of Inflows of Resources Resources Total Differences between expected and actual experience $ - $ (1,506) $ (1,506) Change of assumptions 103,785 - 103,785 Difference between projected and actual Investment earnings 334 - 334 Changes in proportion of employer-specific amounts 35,431 (3,694) 31,737 Contribution subsequent to the measurement date 6,955 - 6,955 Total $ 146,505 $ (5,200) $ 141,305 The net amount reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources will be recognized as pension expense in the fiscal years ended September 30, as follows: Fiscal Year Ending 2017 $ 22,791 2018 22,791 2019 22,791 2020 22,791 2021 22,791 Thereafter 27,350 $ 141,305

3. Pension Plans, continued HIS Plan, continued Net Pension Liabilities The components of the collective net pension liability of the participating employers for the HIS Plan for the measurement date of June 30, 2016, are shown below (in thousands):

HIS Plan Total Pension Liability (A) $ 11,768,445 Plan Fiduciary Net Position (B) (113,859)

Net Pension Liability (A-B) $ 11,654,586 Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of the Total Pension Liability (B/A) (.97)% Proportion at measurement date 0.005674747% Employer Net Pension Liability $ 661,367 The total pension liability for each plan was determined by the plans’ actuary and reported in the plans’ valuations dated July 1, 2016. The fiduciary net position used by the actuary to determine the net pension liability (as shown above) was determined on the same basis used by the plan. Each plan’s fiduciary net position is reported in the financial statements and the net pension liability is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Update procedures were not used. The City reported a liability of $661,367 for its proportionate share of the HIS Plan net pension liability. The detail of proportion shares are as follow: Employer Proportionate Employer Employer Employer Share of Net Proportionate Contribution for Proportion Contribution for Proportion at Pension Share of Net Employer / Pension Plan at Prior Pension Plan Current Liability at Prior Pension Agency Employer Funding for Measurement Funding For Measurement Measurement liability at Number Agency Name Prior Period Date Current Period Date Date Measurement Date HIS Plan 60124 City of Atlantis $ 21,867 0.0057204% $ 29,087 0.0056747% $ 583,393 $ 661,367 Basis of Allocation The employer’s proportionate share reported in the pension allocation schedules was calculated using accrued retirement contributions for employers that were members of the FRS and HIS during fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2016. Although GASB No. 68 encourages the use of the employers’ projected long-term contribution effort to the retirement plan, allocating on the basis of historical employer contributions is acceptable. The aggregate employer contribution amounts for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, agree to the employer contribution amounts reported in the FRS CAFR.

3. Pension Plans, continued HIS Plan, continued Basis of Allocation, continued The proportion calculated based on contributions for each of the fiscal years presented in the pension allocation schedules was applied to the net pension liability and other pension amounts applicable to that fiscal year to determine each employer’s proportionate share of the liability, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources and associated pension expense. For the purposes of the pension allocation schedules, pension amounts are allocated to reporting employers. The pension amounts of participating employers whose payrolls are reported and contributions are remitted by another entity are included in the reporting employer’s amounts and will be allocated to the participating employer by the reporting employer. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Actuarial assumptions for both defined benefit plans are reviewed annually by the Florida Retirement System Actuarial Assumptions Conference. The FRS Plan has a valuation performed annually. The HIS Plan has a valuation performed biennially that is updated for GASB reporting in the year a valuation is not performed. The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2016, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2013. Because the HIS Program is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, no experience study has been completed for this program. Actuarial Assumptions

The total pension liability in the June 30, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 2.60% Salary increases 3.25% Discount rate 2.85% Municipal bond rate 3.80%

Mortality rates were based on the Generational RP-2000 with Projection Scale BB tables. The plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return.

3. Pension Plans, continued HIS Plan, continued Sensitivity Analysis The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The sensitivity analysis shows the impact to the collective net pension liability of the participating employers if the discount rate was 1.00% higher or 1.00% lower than the current discount rate at June 30, 2016. Net Pension Liability Current 1% Decrease Discount Rate 1% Increase 1.85% 2.85% 3.85% $758,740 $661,367 $580,555

Payable to the HIS Plan As of September 30, 2016, the City did not owe or have any outstanding contributions to the HIS Plan. Changes of Benefit Terms and Assumptions There were no changes in benefits for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. Changes of assumptions adopted for the 2016HIS Plan valuation included:

• Reduced the discount rate from 3.00% to 2.85% Investment Plan The SBA administers the defined contribution plan officially titled the FRS Investment Plan (In-vestment Plan). The investment Plan is reported in the SBA’s annual financial statements and in the State of Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. As provided in Section 121.4501, Florida Statutes, eligible FRS members may elect to participate in the Investment Plan in lieu of the FRS defined benefit plan. City employees participating in DROP are not eligible to participate in the Investment Plan. Employer and employee contribu-tions, including amounts contributed to individual member's accounts, are defined by law, but the ultimate benefit depends in part on the performance of investment funds. Benefit terms, in-cluding contribution requirements, for the Investment Plan are established and may be amend-ed by the Florida Legislature. The Investment Plan is funded with the same employer and em-ployee contribution rates that are based on salary and membership class (Regular Class, Elect-ed City Officers, etc.), as the Pension Plan. Contributions are directed to individual member accounts, and the individual members allocate contributions and account balances

3. Pension Plans, continued Investment Plan, continued among various approved investment choices. Costs of administering the Investment Plan, in-cluding the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer contribution of 4% of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members. Allocations to the investment mem-ber's accounts during the fiscal year, as established by Section 121.72, Florida Statutes, are based on a percentage of gross compensation, by class, as follows:

• Regular class—6.30%, • Special Risk Administrative Support class—7.95%, • Special Risk class 14.00%, Senior Management Service class—7.67% and • City Elected Officers class—11.34%.

For all membership classes, employees are immediately vested in their own contributions and are vested after one year of service for employer contributions and investment earnings. If an accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the Pension Plan is transferred to the Investment Plan, the member must have the years of service required for Pen-sion Plan vesting (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) to be vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. Nonvested employer contributions are placed in a suspense account for up to five years. If the employee returns to FRS-covered employment within the five-year period, the employee will regain control over their account. If the employee does not return within the five-year period, the employee will forfeit the accumulated account balance. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the information for the amount of forfeitures was unavailable from the SBA; however, management believes that these amounts, if any, would be immaterial to the City. The same assumptions were used for both Investment Plan and for FRS Plan. After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the Investment Plan, receive a lump- sum distribution, leave the funds invested for future distribution, or any combination of these options. Disability coverage is provided; the member may either transfer the account balance to the F R S Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits under the FRS Plan, or remain in the Investment Plan and rely upon that account bal-ance for retirement income. The City’s Investment Plan pension contribution totaled $58,356 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

City contributions include amounts required to pay current costs and amortize unfunded past service cost, if any, as provided in Chapter 112, Florida Statues.

Concentrations The Plan did not hold investments in any one organization that represent 5% or more of the Pension Plan’s fiduciary net position. Rate of Return For the year ended, September 30, 2016 (measurement date), the annual money-weighted rate of return on Pension Plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense was 9.10%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested. Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP)

Eligibility - Satisfaction of Normal Retirement requirements. Participation - Not to Exceed 60 Months. Rate of Return - Actual investment return credited to main fund.

3. Pension Plans, continued Police Officers’ Pension Fund, continued Net Pension Liability The Sponsor’s net pension liability was measured as of September 30, 2016 (measurement date). The total pension liability used to calculate the net position liability was determined as of that date. The components of the net pension liability of the sponsor on September 30, 2016 (reporting date) were as follows:

Total pension liability $ 1,441,210 Plan fiduciary net position ( 1,254,604) Sponsor’s net pension liability $ 186,606 Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability 87.05%

Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of October 1, 2014, updated to September 30, 2016 (measurement date) using the following actuarial assumptions:

Inflation 2.25% Salary increases N/A Discount rate 7.69% Investment rate of return 7.69%

Mortality Rate - Healthy Lives: • Female: RP 2000 Generational, 100% White Collar, Scale BB. • Male: RP 2000 Generational, 10% Annuitant White Collar/90% Annuitant Blue Collar, Scale BB.

Mortality Rate – Disabled Lives: • Female: 60% RP 2000 Disabled Female set forward two years/40% Annuitant White Collar with no

setback, no projection scale. • Male: 60% RP 2000 Disabled Male setback four years/40% Annuitant White Collar with no setback,

no projection scale. 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.

3. Pension Plans, continued Police Officers’ Pension Fund, continued Actuarial Assumptions, continued of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of September 30, 2016 are summarized in the following table: Asset Target Long Term Expected Class Allocation Real Rate of Return Equity 57% 6.13% Fixed Income 12% 2.38% Real Estate 2% 5.00% Alternative 29% 6.25% Total 100% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.69%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that the sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between 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.

8. Deferred Compensation Plan The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan (the Plan) created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. The City operates the Plan under GASB Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. This statement was issued in response to a change in federal law that removes the assets in deferred compensation plans from the general creditors in the event of a government bankruptcy. Qualified deferred compensation plans must be held in a trust that meets the requirements of IRC Section 457(g). No financial statement presentation or note disclosure is required for a plan that meets the requirements of IRC Section 457(g). The City's Plan meets the requirements of IRC Section 457(g) and has been correctly omitted from the current year's financial statements and note disclosures. 9. 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; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City continues to purchase workers’ compensation insurance through the Preferred Government Insurance Trust. The City purchases property and liability insurance through the Preferred Government Insurance Trust. Retention of risks is limited to excess of those that are insured, those risks that are uninsurable, and deductibles ranging from $500 to $10,000 per occurrence. As a member of each of the Insurance Trusts with the Preferred Government Insurance Trust, the responsibility of the City is to pay those premiums charged by the non-assessable pool for property, liability, and workers’ compensation coverages. The pool is responsible for paying all claims incurred by the City, less stop loss deductibles for general/professional and automobile liability coverage in the amounts of $10,000 and $2,500 respectively; and a deductible for property and allied insurance of $500. The City may terminate the membership based on a 60 days’ notice to the pool. All pool policies are on an occurrence basis. Major uninsurable risks include damage to infrastructure assets. Since the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated and the likelihood of occurrence is not determinable, no provision for losses is reflected in the financial statements. There were no settled claims that exceeded insurance coverage during the past three fiscal years. 10. Commitments and Contingencies The City insures against loss from damage, theft, litigation and other hazards and contingencies through the Preferred Government Insurance Trust.

The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date, calculated based on thediscount rate and actuarial assumptions below, and was then projected to the measurement date. Any significantchanges during this period have been reflected as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 68.

In general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability under GASB Statement No. 67 is equal to thesingle rate equivalent to discounting at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to theprojected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, the depletiondate is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond rateselected by the plan sponsor. The discount rates used at the two dates differ due to changes in the applicablemunicipal bond rate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED

ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Atlantis, Florida Atlantis, Florida We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Atlantis, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016, which collectively comprise the City of Atlantis, Florida’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 27, 2017. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Atlantis, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purposes of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Atlantis, Florida’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Atlantis, Florida’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 over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Atlantis, Florida’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance, or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Governmental Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
