HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND
February 22, 2022
To the Citizens of the City of Sebastian, Florida:
We are submitting the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the City of Sebastian, Florida for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. State law requires that every general-purpose local government
publish a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that requirement
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained
in this report, based on a comprehensive framework of internal control that is established for this
purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
Chapter 218.39, Florida Statutes require that the financial statements of the City of Sebastian be audited
by a certified public accountant. The City's independent Certified Public Accountants, Rehmann Robson,
has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the City of Sebastian's financial statements for the year
ended September 30, 2021. The independent auditors' report is located on page 13, 14 and 15.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors' report 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 Sebastian, Florida is located in Indian River County approximately midway through the east
coast of the Florida Peninsula (between Melbourne and Vero Beach) in an area known as the Treasure
Coast. It is recognized as the Home of Pelican Island, the first designated wildlife refuge in the United
States, a Millennium City, and a Tree City USA. It was first incorporated as the Town of Sebastian in 1924.
In the late 1950s General Development Corporation purchased the land from the Mackle family of Miami
and began the development of a planned community that is now the City of Sebastian. The City has a
population of 25,454 residents.
The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal property located within its
boundaries. It also is empowered by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it
has done from time to time. The City covers approximately 16.3 square miles.
3
The City is a Florida municipal corporation with a five -member City Council. Council members serve a two-
year term. Annual elections are held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November and two
members are elected in even -numbered years and three members are elected in odd -numbered years.
Elections are non -partisan and at -large. Mayor and Vice Mayor are elected from among the members of
every newly seated Council at a Special meeting following the election each year. The City has operated
under a Council -City Manager form of government since 1989.
The City provides a wide range of services including general government administration, police
protection, the construction and maintenance of local roads, public works, recreational and cultural
activities, a golf course, a general aviation airport, and a building department to enforce building and fire
codes.
This report includes all funds of the City. In evaluating the City as a reporting entity, we have included all
component units for which the City Council is financially accountable. The component units have been
blended with the financial statements presented for the Primary Government because the component
unit's governing body is the same as the City Council or because the component unit exclusively serves
the City. The blended component units are the Community Redevelopment Agency and Sebastian Police
Officer's Pension Trust Fund.
The Council is required to adopt a final budget no later than the close of the fiscal year. This annual
budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. The budget is prepared by
fund, function (e.g., transportation), and department (e.g., public works). Shifts in appropriations within
department totals may be done administratively on the authority of the City Manager. Total fund
appropriation changes and use of contingency appropriations must be approved by the City Council.
Local Economy
The region (which includes the City of Sebastian and the surrounding unincorporated area within the
same county) has a fluctuating labor force depending on agricultural demand and is a strong retirement
community. Although the labor force fluctuates, unemployment in the region was showing good
improvement in the last few years, until measures to control the COVID-19 virus restricted the normal
operations of businesses. As of September 2021, the Florida Research & Economic Database reported an
unemployment rate of 4.6%, which corresponds with levels experienced at the state and national levels.
The largest major industry sector was Health Care and Social Assistance with 20.6% of the employment,
followed by Retail with 17.5% of the employment and Accommodations/Food Services with 11.7% of the
employment. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 89% of the population age 25 or older are high school
graduates and 29 % hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The area median age was 53.5 and the median
household income for 2020 was $72,934, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
4
Sebastian offers all of the Florida amenities a business needs to consider. Close connection to
metropolitan areas without the south Florida hustle and bustle, quality housing for affordable prices,
some of the best schools in the State, quality medical services and leisure activities that are second to
none. Transportation is easy in Sebastian, offering easy access to major freight transportation routes. 1-
95, the major north -south trucking route on the Florida east coast, is just six miles west. The Florida East
Coast Railroad (FEC) runs directly through Sebastian. FEC offers freight service from Miami and Ft.
Lauderdale ports of entry, as well as direct connections with other major rail lines at Jacksonville.
Long-term Financial Planning
The voters of Indian River County in November 2003 extended the Infrastructure Sales Surtax in the
amount of $.01 per $1.00 sale for an additional fifteen years and seven months beginning in January
2004. In November 2016, the voters once again extended the Surtax for another fifteen year period. This
Infrastructure Sales Surtax is essential in providing for the City's emergency vehicle and capital
improvement needs. In addition, the City has funded a number of other capital projects with impact fees
and has actively pursued grant funding for some major transportation and environmental improvements.
It has also employed the use of a Community Redevelopment Agency that is funded by means of tax -
increment financing.
The millage was levied at a rate of 3.1514 for fiscal year 2021. The City had an increase in ad valorem
values due to improvements and additions to the tax rolls. However, the millage increase was approved
because of concerns that intergovernmental revenues would decline due to the pandemic. Construction
activity resulted in a total of 255 permits being issued for new construction in fiscal year 2021 with a cost
of $75.1 million compared to a total of 178 permits being issued for new construction in fiscal year 2020
with a cost of $46.9 million. In reviewing these numbers, new commercial was 3 permits costing $11.3
million in 2021 and 1 permit costing $.5 million in 2020, with new residential constructions changing from
175 permits costing $41.5 million in 2020 to 252 permits costing $63.5 in 2021. These comparable
amounts support the premise that favorable conditions still exist for the local construction industry.
At year end, General Fund unassigned fund balance is $6,224,793 and above the $5 million minimum
target. The unassigned fund balance was 48.9% of the general fund expenditures and transfers out. The
City has been steadfast and refused to spend down these balances because the City understands reliance
on accumulated fund balances to fund operating expenditures is not a prudent fiscal strategy and because
having sufficient balances are essential to handle emergencies such as hurricanes. To this end, the budget
for fiscal year 2022 was balanced without a reduction of fund balances.
k,
Major Initiatives
Administration
The City continues to pursue the remaining unpaid reimbursements from Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the State related to Hurricane Matthew that occurred in October 2016.
The City managed to document about $1,582,000 of eligible expenditures and has recovered all but about
$144,000 from that event. A few days after the end of 2021, the City was paid most of that amount,
leaving only $44,000 that should still be recovered. During the 2019 fiscal year, the City received all the
$533,000 in qualified reimbursements initially documented from Hurricane Irma that occurred in
September 2017. A subsequent allocation of another $14,700 in FEMA's share of the eligible costs from
Hurricane Irma was received in 2020. In October of 2019, about $32,000 of expenditures were then
experienced as a result of Hurricane Dorian and the reimbursement process for that event was initiated
and entirely completed during the 2020 fiscal year. Expenditures necessary to handle these storm events
are paid from General Fund unassigned fund balance, so the City strives to recover these outlays as soon
as possible.
The City has continued to make use of advanced technology by upgrading computer servers, improving
the network and acquiring better audio visual equipment. With the COVID-19 Pandemic requiring
stringent measures to safeguard the public and City employees while conducting business and holding
open meetings, additional investments in technology continue to be aggressively pursued.
Stormwater
The City accounts for all Stormwater operating expenditures within the Stormwater Revenue fund in
order to improve transparency about how stormwater fees are being spent. Special committees have
established best management practices that minimize chemical spraying and still keep the canals and
drainage systems clear of vegetative growth and functioning properly. Preliminary approval was received
for a FEMA grant to address drainage improvements that are needed in the Stonecrop area of the City. A
consultant has been hired to prepare a stormwater master plan to guide future decision making.
Traffic & Transportation
The City continues working on transportation improvements. Using a six year plan for funding road
resurfacing and road reconstruction work. Based on the plan, necessary street repaving work is funded
using local option gas taxes and required major road reconstruction is funded by discretionary sales taxes.
In addition, discretionary sales taxes are used to replace heavy construction equipment needed for
maintaining City rights -of -way and transportation infrastructure.
M.
Airport
The Sebastian Municipal Airport's infrastructure is being developed with the intent of attracting economic
development and stimulating the business climate in order to create jobs in the community. Land leases
are a primary source of airport revenues and over 150 acres of property is available for lease, for both
aviation and non -aviation businesses. The Airport's limited resources continue to be leveraged by
aggressively seeking and obtaining grants from the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) and
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop the necessary infrastructure. Construction of Hanger "D"
has been initiated with grant funds matched by funds from discretionary sales taxes. In partnership with
the County, grant funding has also been obtained to provide sewer service to tenants on the west side of
the Airport. This endeavor was initiated in concert with the construction of a new Public Facilities Garage
and Staging Facility.
Public Safety
The Building Department continued measures to effectively operate as the City Fire Marshal which has
insured more timely response and review of development plans. Construction activity has continued to be
strong and is steadily increasing the Building Fund's carryover balance. A recent State mandate requires
excess carryover balances from permit fees to be refunded. The City has recorded a liability for the excess
but is unable to make such refunds until such time as further guidance is prescribed on how they must be
determined. The Police Department continues to participate in the accreditation program offered by the
commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation. The designation encourages the Police
Department to establish goals and objectives with provisions for periodic updating; constant reevaluation
of whether departmental resources are being employed in accordance with agency goals, objectives and
mission; constant reevaluation of departmental policies and procedures as documented in the
department's written directive system; to accommodate correction of internal deficiencies and
inefficiencies before they become public problems; and the opportunity to reorganize without the
appearance of personal attacks. Standards and performance measurements resulting from the
accreditation process will continue to guide both Sebastian Police Department and city administration in
alleviating potentially adverse conditions.
Culture & Recreation
The City continued efforts to promote the "working waterfront" concept on the riverfront properties that
were purchased with grant funding, with City matching funds provided by discretionary sales taxes. In
other areas, the City continued supporting the use of Riverfront Park for gatherings organized by various
community groups, including the Clam Bake, Chamber of Commerce and Art Club. The City is using
recreation impact fees to upgrade the identification signage at all the parks and to focus on one or two
major parks each year to address needed major facility improvements and replacements, including "all-
inclusive" features to accommodate those with special needs.

Awards and Acknowledgements
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Sebastian for last year's
annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. This is a prestigious
national award -recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local

publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report. This report
must satisfy both U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A
Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current annual
comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
February 22, 2022
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
City of Sebastian, 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 Sebastian,
Florida (the "City'), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, 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
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.
Independent Auditors' 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.
13
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' 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 previously 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 of Sebastian, Florida as of
September 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable,
thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and each major special revenue
fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management's Discussion and Analysis and the schedules for the pension plans, 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 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.
14
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Sebastian, Florida'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 basic financial
statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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 information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section and statistical tables 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 our report dated
February 22, 2022, on our consideration of the City of Sebastian, Florida'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
17
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The City of Sebastian's (the "City") discussion and analysis is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant
financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the City's financial activity, (c) identify changes in the City's financial position, (d)
identify any material deviations from the financial plan, and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns.
Since the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to focus on the current years activities, resulting changes
and currently known facts, please read it in conjunction with the Transmittal Letter and the City's financial statements.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the
close of the fiscal year 2021 by $68,644,863 (net position). Of this amount, $1,386,998 (unrestricted net position) may be
used to meet the City's on -going obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net position from governmental activities increased by $4,055,402 and from business -type activities
decreased by $316,958. Net position was increased in governmental activities, primarily as a result of the favorable
investment returns experienced by the Police Officer's Pension Plan that reduced the net pension liability. Net position of
business -type activities decreased with the recoding of a liability for rebating permit fees which the state has mandated.
Governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $16,844,001, an increase of $360,659 from the prior
year. Almost 36% of this amount, $6,013,917, is unassigned and available for spending.
The Golf Course Fund reported a negative change in the unrestricted deficit in net position attributed to a decline in fee
revenue. The Airport Fund reported a negative change in the deficit in unrestricted net position resulting from the
amount of operating loss. The Building Fund reported a decrease in unrestricted net position, as a result of increases in
the expense recorded for State mandated rebates. In total, the City's enterprise funds reported a decrease in overall net
position at the end of the year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a longer -term view of the City's finances. For
governmental activities, the fund financial statements 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 by providing
information about the City's most significant funds. The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that
is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
Government -wide Financial Statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a
broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between them 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 is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most recent 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).
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant
portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City include
general government, public safety, physical and economical environment, transportation and cultural and recreation. The
business -type activities of the City include the golf course, airport and building operations.
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, 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 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 maintains numerous individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds
balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the
General Fund, Riverfront Redevelopment Fund, Stormwater Utility Fund, American Rescue Plan, Discretionary Sales Tax Fund,
and Transportation Improvements fund all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 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 and schedules elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund and special revenue funds. Budgetary comparison
statements or schedules have been provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary Funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account
for the golf course, airport, and building 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 City's golf course, airport and building department,
which are major funds.
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 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.
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.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA

A substantial portion of the City's net position, $57,115,079 (83.2 percent), 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 uses these
capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
City's 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.
An additional portion of the City's net position of $10,142,786 (14.8 percent) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The City may use the remaining balance of unrestricted net position of $1,386,998 (2.0
percent) to meet its ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, for the
government as a whole and for its separate governmental activities. Program revenues for governmental activities increased
in all categories primarily from increases in capital grants and contributions, resulting from the lifting of restrictions that were
mandated on businesses the year before. General revenues from property taxes and other taxes increased due to due to
adopting a higher millage and additional taxable values. Intergovernmental revenue also increased due to the lifting of
restrictions on businesses the year before. Charges for services in the business -type activities increased as a result of
increased levels of construction activity. Total expenses in the business -type activities decreased due to a lesser amount
recorded for State mandated rebates.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The City's net position increased by $3,738,444 during the current fiscal year. The primary reason for the increase of
$4,055,402 in net position for governmental activities primarily due to the favorable investment returns experienced by the
Police Officer's Pension Plan that reduced the net pension liability. For business -type activities, the $316,958 decrease in net
position when compared to the prior year decrease of $1,095,088 is attributable to the higher operating revenues which were
offset by an additional expense recorded for state mandated rebates.
Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $4,055,402. Key elements of this
increase are as follows:
Total assets increased by $5,662,255 due to construction in progress on the new public works compound.
Total liabilities decreased by $553,720 from amortized payments on long-term debt.
The changes in the net pension liability, deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources from the Police Officer's
Pension Plan increased the City's net position by $389,245.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of
the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$16,844,001, an increase of $360,659 from the prior year. Of this amount, 36 percent ($6,013,917) constitutes unassigned
fund balance, which is available for spending at the City's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is classified as one of the
following: A) Nonspendable for 1) inventories and prepaids, or 2) is nonspendable as permanent fund corpus for cemetery
perpetual care; B) restricted for capital projects or due to debt service and special revenue fund designations; C) is committed
for development by local ordinance; or D) has been assigned for other specific uses in the City's general operations.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the
General Fund was $6,224,793 while total fund balance amounted to $6,689,795. 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
fund balance represents 49.1 percent of total General Fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 52.8 percent of
that same amount.
The fund balance of the City's General Fund increased by $986,794 during the current fiscal year. Given that the fund balance
decreased by $496,060 the prior fiscal year, there was actually a change in fund balance of $1,482,854. Key factors in this
change are as follows:
Property tax revenues increased by $666,377. The increase is due to adopting a higher millage and additional taxable
values.
Charges for services increased by $99,443. The increase is due to adjustments to administrative fees charged to other
funds.
Intergovernmental increased by $509,366. The increase is due to the lifting of restrictions on businesses the year before.
Public utility taxes increased by $89,855. The increase is due to the greater number of customers.
Franchise fees increased by $67,680. The increase is due to the greater number of customers.
All other revenues decreased by $114,095. The decrease is due to a reduction in claims paid by the insurance company.
Transfers out to other funds decreased by $41,263. The decrease is due to transfers made for a project completed in the
prior year.
Expenditures decreased by $205,491. The decrease is due to fewer expenditures for capital outlays.
The Riverfront Redevelopment Fund ended the year with $541,244 in fund balance, an increase of $62,584 from the prior
year. The increase is due to an effort to accumulate monies to be used for capital improvements that will enhance the
redevelopment area.
The Stormwater Utility Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $1,718,263, an increase of $342,514 from the prior year.
The increase is due to funding a consultant's work to compile a comprehensive mast plan document.
The American Rescue Plan Fund received advanced funding of $1,666,064 from the American Rescue Plan Act which is
available for spending in future years. The City is waiting on the U.S. Department of Treasury to publish final guidelines on the
eligible uses for these funds.
24
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Discretionary Sales Tax Fund has a total fund balance $6,104,743, a decrease from the $6,785,087 total fund balance of
the prior year. The decrease is the result of the funds needed for construction of the new public works compound.
The Transportation Improvements Fund has a total fund balance deficit of $89,243. The deficit is the result of payments to
contractors no yet reimbursed by the fund providing the resources for the project.
Proprietary Funds. The City's proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information found in the
government -wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The total net position of the golf course fund at the end of the fiscal year amounted to a deficit of $294,817, while the
unrestricted net position (deficit) amounted to $(1,659,133). Net position has decreased $84,845, while the unrestricted net
position (deficit) changed from $(1,711,345) to $(1,659,133). This is mainly due to because depreciation expense is exceeding
cash flow from operating activities.
The total net position of the airport fund at the end of the fiscal year amounted to $14,469,650, while the unrestricted net
position amounted to $3,369. Net position has decreased by $76,466 while the unrestricted net position (deficit) has changed
from $(194,744) to $3,369. The improvement in the unrestricted net position is because depreciation expense is exceeding
cash flows from operating activities.
The total net position of the building fund at the end of the fiscal year amounted to $754,044. This is a decrease of $155,647
from the prior year, which was primarily due to the recognition of rebates payable and state mandated rebates expense of
$740,620 to comply with Florida statute 553.80. The statute does not allow a local government to carry forward an amount
exceeding the average of its operating budget for the previous four fiscal years.
Other factors concerning the finances of these three funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City's
business -type activities.
Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund originally budgeted for no changes in the fund balance. The actual increase in fund balance resulted from
the following significant variances:
Property tax revenues were slightly less than budgeted with just over 96% of the tax roll being collected. 96% of the tax
roll is budgeted as being collected, based on experience. No less than 95% must be budgeted per Florida statutes.
Intergovernmental revenues were more than budgeted due to expectations that sales taxes would be less because of the
pandemic.
General Fund expenditures had an overall favorable budgetary variance of $712,010, which was a 5.3% difference from
the amended budget total.
25
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Over the course of the fiscal year, the City Council formally approved revisions to the City budget four times. These budget
adjustments fell into four major categories. The first includes amendments to allocate funds for extraordinary and unexpected

& facilities R&R Reserve. The third includes project transfers to cancel or close out capital projects or reallocate funds between
them to address budget shortages. The fourth includes transfers to address budget shortages in operating budget accounts
resulting from properly classifying charges or for unanticipated expenditures. The main components of the increases are as

primarily due to an amendment to the budget for replacing the Yacht Club seawall that could not be accomplished before year-
end.

The City's total debt decreased by $638,689 (19.2%) during the current fiscal year. The net decrease was attributable to
annual principal payments that occurred during the year.
The City's debt is primarily bank notes which are not rated AAA by rating agencies. Other obligations of the City include
accrued vacation pay and sick leave.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget and Rates
The City's elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the next fiscal year 2022 budget, tax rates,
and fees that will be charged for the business -type activities. One of those factors is the economy. Sebastian's local economy
consists largely of retail and service industries. Less than one percent is devoted to industrial activities. Construction of new
homes is the largest single business in the area. Some of the largest retail stores include Publix Supermarket and Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc.° The Indian River County unemployment rate in September 2021 was 5.9 percent and less than the higher levels
of previous years, which is a positive sign and analogous to the economic pattern existing throughout the state and nation.
The City experienced a 6.55% overall increase in property values for 2022. The same millage of 3.1514 was levied for taxes to
be recorded in fiscal year 2022. With increases in other revenue sources, that amount of property taxes was sufficient to
cover projected expenditures.
The Golf Course continues to benefit from the excellent condition of the facility. The Golf Course also benefited from
favorable weather and by the new customers that left competing Golf Courses when they had temporarily closed because of
the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Sizable operating losses for the Airport are primarily the result of depreciation on capital assets. The City actively pursues
grant funds for constructing new facilities that can generate additional rental revenues. Those new facilities also benefit the
local economy by creating new jobs, demand for housing and support to existing businesses.
Although a good level of revenues from building permit fees continued, the Building Enterprise Fund reported a reduction in
net position due to recording a liability for rebating permit fees in accordance with a State mandate. There are signs that
steady activity in the local housing market is continuing, which is encouraging.

Net Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2021
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 360,659
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
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.
Capital assets purchased/constructed 6,083,703
Depreciation expense (3,344,430)
Loss on disposal of capital assets (26,116)
Note proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds
in the period issued, but issuing notes increases long-term liabilities in the
statement of net position. Repayment of note principal is an expenditure in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the
statement of net position.
Principal payments on long-term liabilities 620,000
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.
Change in accrued interest payable on long-term debt 4,405
Change in the accrual for compensated absences (32,064)
Change in the net pension liability and related deferred amounts 389,245
Change in net position of governmental activities $ 4,055,402

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Sebastian (the "City"), a Florida Municipal Corporation, was incorporated in 1924 under
Sections 1826-1832 of the Revised Florida Statutes. The City has a population of 25,454 living in an area of
approximately 16.3 square miles. The governing body is a five member elected City Council with a mayor
elected from the five members. The City Council appoints the City Manager who is responsible for the
administration of all City services.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting
principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below.
Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
government and its component units, entities for which the City is financially accountable. Blended
component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government's operations
and as such, data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Discretely
presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the government -wide
financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the government. The City has no
discretely presented component units.
Blended Component Units
Blended component units are legally separate entities that are from the City but so intertwined with the
City that they are, in substance, the same as the City. Discretely presented component units are entities
legally separate from the City but for which the City is financially accountable, or their relationship with the
City is such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The
City has two component units that are blended with the primary government for financial statement
purposes because the component unit's governing body is substantially the same as the City Council
and/or there is a financial benefit/burden relationship between the primary government and the
component unit.
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) — The governing body of the CRA is identical to the Sebastian
City Council and there is a benefit/burden relationship to the City. The CRA is accounted for in a special
revenue fund entitled "Riverfront Redevelopment." F.S. Section 163.387(8) requires an independent audit
of the fund each fiscal year and a report of such audit. The City has presented the CRA as a major fund of
the City to satisfy this requirement simply due to the scope of the audit for a major fund being broader
than a nonmajor fund.

Fiduciary Component Units
City of Sebastian Police Officers' Pension Plan (the "Plan") — The City sponsors and administers a single -
employer, defined benefit pension plan, which covers the City's police officers. The Plan was established
and may be amended by the City Council and is administered by a 5-member Board of Trustees. The Plan is
administered through a qualified trust. The Plan is included as a fiduciary component unit of the City
because (1) the System is a legally separate entity; (2) the City Council appoints a voting majority of the
Plan Board of Trustees; and (3) the City makes contributions to the Plan on behalf of its participants.
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 primary government and its
component units. 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.
57
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
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, except for expenditure -driven grants which must be collected within one year.
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, intergovernmental revenue, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and as such 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 government.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all the financial
resources of the general government, except those accounted for and reported in another fund.
The Riverfront Redevelopment Special Revenue Fund accounts for revenues and expenditures to be
used for special operations in the defined City's riverfront redevelopment area.
The Stormwater Utility Special Revenue Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that
are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for system maintenance.
The American Rescue Plan Special Revenue Fund accounts for all financial resources of the American
Rescue Plan Act grant program administered by the City.
The Discretionary Sales Tax Capital Projects Fund accounts for the financial resources that are legally
restricted for infrastructure improvements and equipment purchases.
The Transportation Improvements Capital Projects Fund accounts for the financial resources that are
used for improvements and equipment purchases in support of the City's roadway infrastructure.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Golf Course Fund accounts for the activities of the municipal golf course.
The Airport Fund accounts for the activities of the municipality's general aviation airport.
The Building Fund accounts for the activities of the municipality's building department that enforces
state and local regulations pertaining to construction.
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that
are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital
projects.
Debt service funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest.
Capital projects funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of
capital facilities and other capital assets.
The permanent fund is used to record the activity and balance of the Cemetery Trust which provides
funds for perpetual care of cemetery lots.
The pension trust fund accounts for the activities of the Police Officer's Retirement System, which
accumulates resources for pension benefit payments to qualified police officers.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes 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. The General Fund provides certain central services to other funds of
the City which are presented as program expenses in the funds receiving services. The related General
Fund revenue has been netted against program expense in the government -wide statement of activities.
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
enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. 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.
Restricted net position represents resources that are subject to restrictions beyond the government's
control. The restrictions may be externally imposed or imposed by law. 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, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City considers cash on hand and demand deposits, restricted cash deposits, and short-term
investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash for the statement of cash
flows. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested in various interest -bearing securities and
disclosed as part of the City's investments.
59
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, common stock,
guaranteed investment contracts and the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund Investment pool.
The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund is administered by the Florida State Board of
Administration, which is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the
Board has adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 fund or accounts. In
accordance with the regulations of 2a-7 like pools, the City's share of investments held at the State Board
of Administration are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. This pool is regulated by
the State and the fair value of the position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool share.
Investment earnings are allocated to the participating funds at the end of each month based upon the
ratio of each participant's investment to the total pooled investments. Other investments, including the
Police Officers' Pension Fund, are reported at their fair value based on the quoted market price or the best
available information.
Internal Balances
Transactions 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 noncurrent 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 are offset by nonspendable fund balance in General Fund and restricted fund
balance in other applicable governmental funds to indicate they are not available for appropriation and are
not expendable available financial resources.
Restricted Assets
Certain amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents are classified as restricted assets. These include
balances in the debt service funds that are set aside to meet bonded debt requirements, balances in the
capital projects funds to be used for the payment of project costs and balances in the Cemetery Fund that
are either not permitted to be spent or can only be spent for items incidental to cemetery expansions. The
amount of the Cemetery Fund investments is also classified as restricted assets and reported as restricted
investments.
Receivables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles, as applicable.
.e
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Amounts due from other governments include amounts due from grantors for specific programs and
capital projects. Program grants and capital grants for capital assets are recorded as receivables and
revenues at the time reimbursable project costs are incurred. Revenues received in advance of project
costs being incurred are deferred. Receivables consist of trade receivables, due from other governments
and interest receivable and are recorded at the net realizable value. As of September 30, 2021, the City has
no allowance for doubtful accounts, since all receivables are considered collectible.
Other Assets
Inventories are valued at cost using the average cost method. Inventory in the General Fund consists of
materials and supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as an expenditure/expense at the time
the individual inventory items are consumed. Inventory in the Golf Course consists of supplies held for
resale.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both the government -wide and fund financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, improvements, 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. The City defines capital assets as assets
with an initial, individual cost of more than $750 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such
assets are recorded at historical cost, if purchased, and at estimated acquisition cost at date of gift, if
donated. Major additions are capitalized while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the
life of the respective assets are expensed.
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, if any, is included as
part of the capitalized value of the asset constructed.
61
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings and improvements 10-40
Public domain infrastructure 40-50
System infrastructure 15-30
Improvements other than buildings 10-40
Machinery, equipment and other 5-15
Airport runways 20
Deferred Outflows 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 represents a consumption of net
position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources until then.
The City reports deferred outflows of resources related to its pension plan.
Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave
benefits and these are accounted for using the termination payment method. All vacation and sick leave
amounts are accrued in the government -wide and proprietary funds 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.
Unearned Revenue
Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but
not yet earned.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
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 represents an acquisition of net
position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that
time. The City reports deferred inflows of resources related to its pension plan.
M
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Long-term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements and 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.
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. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Fund Equity
Governmental funds report nonspendable fund balance for amounts that cannot be spent because they
are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balance is reported when externally imposed constraints are placed on the use of
resources by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. Committed fund balance
is reported for amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by
formal action of the City Council (the government's highest level of decision -making authority). A formal
resolution of the City Council is required to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment. The
City Council has the authority and reports assigned fund balance for amounts that are constrained by the
government's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. The General Fund is the only
fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not
appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other
than the general fund, 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.
When the government incurs an expenditure for purposes for which various fund balance classifications
can be used, it is the government's policy to use restricted fund balance first, then committed fund
balance, assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
plan and additions to/deductions from the plan fiduciary net position have been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee
contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments
are reported at fair value.
63
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
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 the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
2. BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Budgets are prepared annually on a modified accrual basis with encumbrance accounting for all
governmental funds except the capital project funds, which are approved on a "life of the project basis",
and the permanent fund, which is not budgeted. All annual appropriations lapse at year end.
On or before the third Friday in May of each year, all agencies of the government submit requests for
appropriations to the government's City Manager so that a budget may be prepared. Before July 31, the
proposed budget is presented to the government's council for review. The council holds budget
workshops and public hearings and a final budget must be prepared and adopted no later than
September 30.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the General, Special Revenue and Debt
Service funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year end are carried forward and reappropriated to the next
year's budget.
Actual results of operations presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP basis) and the City's accounting policies do not recognize encumbrances as expenditures until the
period in which the actual goods or services are received and a liability is incurred. It is necessary to include
budgetary encumbrances to reflect actual revenues and expenditures on a basis consistent with the City's
legally adopted budget.
The legal level of budgetary control is at the departmental level for the general fund and at the activity
level for special revenue funds. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the City incurred expenditures
in in excess of the amounts appropriated, as follows:
Local Option Gas Tax fund
Debt service - Interest and fiscal charges
Law Enforcement Forfeiture fund
Public safety

City's deposits might not be returned. At September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the City of
Sebastian's deposits with banks was $15,392,991 and the bank balance was $15,366,023. All the deposits

Under the Act, every qualified public depository shall deposit with the Treasurer eligible collateral having a
market value equal to 50% of the average daily balance for each month that all public deposits are in
excess of any applicable deposit insurance. If the public deposits exceed the total amount of the regulatory
capital accounts of a bank or the regulatory net worth of a savings association, the required collateral shall
have a market value equal to 125% of the deposits.
Custodial Credit Risk - Investments. On April 23, 2003, Sebastian City Council formally adopted an
investment policy pursuant to Section 218.415, Florida Statutes that established permitted investments,
asset allocation limits and issuer limits, credit ratings requirements and maturity limits for all investments
except the Pension Trust Funds. The City maintains a common cash and investment pool for the use of all
funds, except the Pension Trust Funds, which are held with third party trustees and are governed by rules
established by Florida Statute Chapter 185.
C�
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Investment holdings during the year included United States Government Agencies which were reported at

Interest Rate Risk. The City's investment policy limits interest rate risk by attempting to match investment
maturities with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements. Investment maturities shall not
exceed thirty-six (36) months. Investments of construction funds shall have a term appropriate to the need
for funds and in accordance with debt covenants.
Credit Risk. The City investment policy that covers all investments, except the Pension Trust Fund, permits

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Custodial Credit Risk. The City's investment policy pursuant to Section 218.415(18), Florida Statutes
requires securities, with the exception of certificates of deposits, shall be held with a third party custodian;
and all securities purchased by, and all collateral obtained by the City should be properly designated as an
asset of the City. The securities must be held in an account separate and apart from the assets of the
financial institution. A third party custodian is defined as any bank depository chartered by the Federal
Government, the State of Florida, or any other state or territory of the United States which has a branch or
principal place of business in the State of Florida as defined in Section 658.12, Florida Statutes, or by a
national association organized and existing under the laws of the United States, which is authorized to
accept and execute trusts and which is doing business in the State of Florida. Certificates of deposits
maintained by book -entry at the issuing bank shall clearly identify the City as the owner.
Concentration of Credit Risk. The City's investment policy has established asset allocation and issuer limits
on the following investments, which are designed to reduce concentration of credit risk of the City's

Notes to Financial Statements
Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect
the fair value of an investment or deposit. Foreign currency risk is mitigated by requiring the portfolio to
be broadly diversified by number of holdings, by geographic location and across industry sectors. Country
exposures are monitored through a monthly performance report. The exposure to foreign currency risk is
as follows:
Pension
Investment (currency in U.S. dollar) Investments
Foreign corporate bonds $ 181,366
Foreign corporate equities 3,105,670
Total $ 3,287,036
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes the fair value measurements of its investments within the fair value hierarchy
established by generally accepted accounting principles. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs — other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 - that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Finally,
Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions. These levels are determined
by the management's review of the type and substance of investments held by the City. Level 2 inputs use
one of the following valuation techniques depending on the investment: a) traditional net asset valuation
(dividing the asset value by the number of units owned), b) matrix pricing technique (relying on the
securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities instead of exclusively on quoted prices for
specific securities), or c) quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for
identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.

A pollution remediation obligation was recorded for a Florida Department of Environmental (FDEP) Order
dated March 10, 1997. This was related to an incident of petroleum contamination at the Public Works
Department on April 22, 1991. The City was named as the party responsible for the cleanup but FDEP
determined the discharge is eligible under the Petroleum Cleanup Participation Program and will not
compel site rehabilitation prior to funding becoming available from that program. The program has a
funding cap of $400,000, with a 25% required cost share percentage. The City must also pay for a limited
contamination assessment report sufficient to determine the extent of the contamination and cleanup.
Based on the information available, the City estimated its expenditure to be $91,200 dependent on the
extent of work that is eventually required and recorded a long-term liability of $91,200. This liability would
generally be liquidated by the General Fund.

10. PROPERTY TAXES
The City is permitted by State law to levy taxes up to 10 mills on assessed valuation. The millage rate levied
by the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, was 3.1514 mills. Total tax collections were
approximately 99.7% of the total tax levy.
The tax levy of the City is established by City Council. Under Florida law, the assessment of all properties
and the collection of municipal taxes are provided by offices of the County's Property Appraiser and Tax
Collector. Ad Valorem taxes are levied on property values as of January 1. The fiscal year for which taxes
are levied begins October 1. Taxes are due November I and become delinquent on April 1. All taxes unpaid
as of May 30 are subject to a tax certificate sale. Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for
which they are levied and also become due and payable.

Various suits and claims are currently pending against the City. It is impossible for the City to accurately
quantify the exposure involved given the jury's latitude in assessing compensatory and punitive damages,
and the court's latitude in awarding attorney's fees. The City intends to vigorously defend against these
lawsuits and believes it has a good chance of prevailing on their merits. The City is contingently liable with
respect to lawsuits and other claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operations. In the opinion of
management and based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of lawsuits will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies, principally the federal and state governments. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already
collected, may constitute a liability to 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.

The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of or damage to and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The City purchases commercial insurance with various
deductibles for different types of losses. The cost of this insurance is accounted for in the General Fund,
Golf Course Fund, Airport Fund, and Building Fund. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial
coverage in the past three fiscal years.

13. BENEFIT PLANS
Police Officer's Pension Plan
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Plan Description. The Police Officers' Pension Plan is a Florida Statute Chapter 185 single -employer defined
benefit plan. Only City police officers participate in the Police Pension Plan. The state provides a
contribution to the Police Pension Plan through a distribution of funds collected from insurance premium
taxes. The pension plan data provided in these financial statements are from the actuarial valuation as of
October 1, 2020 to determine the required contribution for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021.
Although the Police Officers' Pension Plan provides separate reporting, which may be obtained in the
Finance department, it is also a component unit (reporting as a Pension Trust Fund) of the City's financial
reporting entity.
Basis of Accounting. Financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member
contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Employer contributions are
recognized when due, and the employer has made formal commitment to provide the contributions.
Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Method Used to Value Investments. Investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are
reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange
are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of
future principal and interest payments, and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar
instruments. Investments that do not have an established market are reported at estimated fair value.
Investments in securities of a single organization (excluding mutual funds and those issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government) held by the pension plan did not exceed five percent of the total plan assets.
Investment Policy. The plan's policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be
amended by the Board of Trustees. The investment policy has been formulated based on consideration of
a wide range of policies and describes the prudent investment process that the Board deems appropriate.
The plan's asset allocation policy is shown on the following pages.
Concentrations. At September 30, 2021, the plan held certain investments (other than those issued or
explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, mutual funds, external investment pools, or other pooled
investments) in certain organizations that represent 5 percent or more of the plan's fiduciary net position.
Please see Note 3 for details of these concentrations.
Plan Membership. Membership of the Plan consisted of the following at October 1, 2020, the date of the
latest actuarial valuation:
Inactive plan members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 18
Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 10
Active plan members 40
Total membership 68

Notes to Financial Statements
Benefit Provisions and Contribution Requirements. The Police Officers' Pension Plan provides retirement
and disability benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. This plan is administered by a separate local
Board of Trustees. Chapter 185, Florida Statutes, as amended governs all benefit provisions of the plan.
Contribution requirements, in accordance with Chapter 185, Florida Statutes, are established by City
ordinance, as provided in Chapter 58, Article III of the Sebastian City Code. The City Council has the
authority to amend funding requirements.
Contributions. Members contribute 8% of their salary. City and state contributions consist of the
remaining amount required in order to pay current costs and amortize unfunded past service cost, if any,
over a period not exceeding 30 years. State contributions are reported as revenues and expenditures in the
General Fund before being reported in the Pension Trust Fund.
Rate of Return. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the annual money -weighted rate of return on
pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 23.63 percent. The money -
weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the

Net Pension Liability of the City. The components of the net pension liability of the City at September 30,
2021, were as follows:
Total pension liability $ 23,049,447

All mortality rates are projected generationally with Mortality Improvement Scale MP-2018.
The most recent actuarial experience study used to review the other significant assumptions was dated
September 13, 2019.
Long-term Expected Real Rate of Return. 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 a long-term expected rate of
return by weighing 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, 2021 are summarized in the
following table:

above projected returns were generated, but also there is an additional correlation resulting from a
diversified portfolio that will provide additional returns, as reflected above.

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.10 percent (prior year
7.20 percent). 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 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.
Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate. The following presents the
net pension liability of the City, calculated using the discount rate of 7.10 percent, as well as what the City's
net pension liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point
lower (6.10 percent) or one percentage point higher (8.10 percent) than the current rate.

Coastal Florida Public Employees Association
Negotiated Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Plan Description. The Communication Workers of America / International Typographical Union Negotiated
Pension Plan (NPP), which began in 1967, is a multi -employer cost -sharing, defined benefit plan. The plan
is available to any Coastal Florida Public Employees Association bargaining unit member and benefits are
portable from one contributing employer to another. The plan is not a state or local governmental plan, is
used to provide defined benefit pensions both to employees of state or local governmental employers and
to employees of employers that are not state or local governmental employers, has no predominant state
or local governmental employer and issues audited financials following FASB guidelines, which can be
obtained at http://www.cwaitu.com. The City of Sebastian approved the plan by Resolution No. R-01-36,
effective April 29, 2001. There is currently no expiration date of the collective -bargaining agreement
requiring contributions to the pension plan. The total number of governmental employees covered as of
September 30, 2021, was 62.
Normal Pension. Minimum age 65: 5 years of service credit required if any portion of service credit was
earned after January 1, 1989. 10 years of service credit required if employees' coverage ended before
January 1, 1989. Once the service credit amount is accrued, the employee is vested and cannot lose the
right to a pension.
Early Pension. Minimum age 62: 20 years of service credit required if employed after January 1, 1989, and
25 years of service credit required if employment ended before January I, 1993. Pension amounts are
permanently reduced based on age on the effective date, because the payments are expected to be made
for a longer period of time.
Disability Pension. No minimum age and the pension amount is not reduced for age; there must be a
Social Security Disability Award, 10 years of actual service credit and a contribution for covered
employment must have been made within three calendar years preceding the entitlement date to Social
Security Disability Pension. An application must be filed with the plan within 6 months of the Social
Security Notice of Award date to receive pension retroactive to the Social Security entitlement date.
Lump Sum Disability Benefit. If the employee has been awarded a Social Security Disability Award with the
date of entitlement before May 1, 2009 and is vested, but not immediately eligible to receive any pension
described above, the employee may be eligible for a lump sum disability benefit.
Death Benefit. If the employee dies before becoming a pensioner and has at least $250 contributed on the
employees' behalf, a lump sum death benefit equal to total contributions credited on the employees'
behalf or 36 times the Normal Pension amount, if greater, will be paid to employees' beneficiary. If the
employee is married at the time of death, the spouse will have the choice of a lump sum or a monthly
survivor benefit.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Withdrawal Benefit. If the employee did not earn enough service credit to qualify for a normal pension,
the employee may be eligible for a lump sum withdrawal benefit, based on total contributions, after the
employee has incurred a break in service. Benefit Provisions and Contribution Requirements: The NPP
provides retirement and disability benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The plan is administered at
the plan office in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Contribution requirements are established by the CWA
contract, effective date October 1, 2011, which is negotiated every 3 years, and approved by City Council.
Benefit Provisions and Contribution Requirements. The NPP provides retirement and disability benefits to
plan members and beneficiaries. The plan is administered at the plan office in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Contribution requirements are established by the CWA contract, effective date October 1, 2013, which is
negotiated every 3 years, and approved by City Council.
Employer Withdrawal Liability. Under federal law, employers who partially or completely withdraw from a
multiemployer plan are assessed withdrawal liability for their proportionate share of the plan's unfunded
vested liabilities as of the beginning of the year in which they withdraw. Withdrawal liability is usually paid
in quarterly installments as determined by a statutory formula over a maximum of 20 years.
Funding Policy. Administration costs of the pension plan are financed by the plan. The employer
contribution rate, expressed as a percentage of compensation, was 9.0% for the 2020-2021 fiscal year.
Employees do not contribute to this plan. Contributions which are equal to 100% of the required
contribution for each year to the CWA Pension Plan are as follows:

Plan Description. The ICMA Retirement Corporation's 401 Retirement Plan is a Defined Contribution Plan
"qualified" under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each participant has a plan account to
which contributions are made. Plan benefits are based on the total amount of money in the employees'
account at retirement or other eligible event. The plan is available to all management staff and may be
rolled over to another "qualified" employer plan that accepts rollovers, or Traditional IRA's.
Plan Participation. As of September 30, 2021, there were a total of 22 employees participating in the plan.
Periodic Payments. Retirement benefits can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annual (at six-month
intervals only) or annual payments until assets are fully paid out.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA
Notes to Financial Statements
Rollover. Retirement benefits can be rolled over to another employer plan (including a 457 deferred
compensation plan) that accepts rollovers, or to a Traditional IRA.
Lump Sum. Retirement benefits can be paid either partially or by total distribution of the employees'
account balance.
Annuities. Retirement benefits can be utilized to purchase an annuity.
Benefit Provisions and Contribution Requirements. The 401 provides retirement benefits to plan members
and beneficiaries. The plan is administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation. Contribution
requirements are established by the City of Sebastian, Management Benefit Package, revised October 1,
2006, and approved by the City Manager.
Funding Policy. The administration costs of the pension plan are financed by the Plan. The employer
contribution rate, expressed as a percentage of compensation, was 9% for the 2020-2021 fiscal year.

14. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note 13, the City provides postemployment benefits
pursuant to Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes. This permits participation in the health insurance program
by retirees and their eligible dependents at a cost to the retiree that is no greater than the cost at which
coverage is available for active employees. The City, by policy, has elected to provide qualified retirees with
partial subsidy. In this respect, the City operates a single -employer plan. Employees are eligible to receive
a partial subsidy from the Retiree Medical Plan upon retirement, if they are enrolled in the active medical
plan immediately prior to retiring and achieved at least 20 years of service in a full time capacity. If eligible,
the City pays 50% of the costs of single coverage group health insurance for up to 2 years after retirement.
Such premiums are expected to be funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. An actuarial valuation of the City's
liability for these benefits in accordance with GASB Statement No. 75 has not been performed. Inasmuch
as the plan is only open to a small number of City employees, management has determined that the net
other postemployment benefit liability would be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) to be a
global pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in operational challenges for the City as it determines the
appropriate methods to provide services to its residents. The City received over $2,217,000 (and expended
approximately $551,000) during 2021 from various funding sources to be used to respond to the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic through the Coronavirus Relief Fund and other funding sources. At this time, management
does not believe that any ongoing negative financial impact related to the pandemic would be material to the
City.

Notes to Schedule of Contributions
Valuation date October 1, 2019
Notes Actuarially determined contribution amounts are calculated as of
October 1, two years prior to the end of the fiscal year in which
contributions are reported.
Methods and assumptions used to determine contribution rates:
Funding method Individual entry age normal actuarial cost
Amortization method Level percentage of pay, closed
Remaining amortization period 14 Years (as of October 1, 2021)
Mortality Healthy Active Lives: Female: RP2000 Generational, 100% Combined
Healthy White Collar, Scale BB; Male: RP2000 Generational, 10%
Combined Healthy White Collar / 90% Combined Healthy Blue Collar,
Scale BB
Healthy Inactive Lives: Female: RP2000 Generational, 100% Annuitant
White Collar, Scale BB; Male: RP2000 Generational, 10% Annuitant
White Collar / 90% Annuitant Blue Collar, Scale BB
Disabled Lives: Female: 60% RP2000 Disabled Female set forward two
years / 40% Annuitant White Collar with no setback, no projection
scale; Male: 60% RP2000 Disabled Male setback four years / 40%
Annuitant White Collar with no setback, no projection scale
The above assumption rates were mandated by Chapter 2015-157,
Laws of Florida. This law mandates the use of the assumptions used in
either of the two most recent valuations of the Florida Retirement
System (FRS). The above rates are those outlined in Milliman's July 1,
2018 FRS valuation report for special risk employees. We feel this
assumption sufficiently accommodates future mortality improvements.

Notes to Schedule of Employer Contributions - Coastal Florida Public Employees Association Pension Plan
Critical Status. Under federal pension law, a plan generally will be considered to be in "critical" status if either the
funded percentage of the plan is less than 65 percent or if certain other tests are met. If a pension plan enters
critical status, the trustees of the plan are required to adopt a rehabilitation plan. Rehabilitation plans establish
steps and benchmarks for pension plans to improve their funding status over a specified period of time.
The Plan's actuary has certified that for the 2021 Plan year, the Plan was in critical status because the Plan has a
deficit in the minimum funding standard account. The Board of Trustees adopted a rehabilitation plan on March 8,
2010, that for new pensions: eliminates the 60 month minimum guarantee in the Life/5 pension option; increases
the minimum age for Early Pension from age 60 to 62 (with 20 years of service credit); removes the Early Pension
subsidy by increasing the reduction factors; discontinues the offering of retroactive pension payments; and
required 5 years of service credit to vest for participants reaching normal retirement age before a break in service.
A mandatory increase in contributions is not required under the Rehabilitation Plan, but decreases in contribution
rates or the exclusion of covered employees are not permitted. A copy of the rehabilitation plan may be obtained
be contacting the Coastal Pension Plan office.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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
February 22, 2022
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
City of Sebastian
Sebastian, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the City of Sebastian, Florida (the "City"), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 2022.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 the City's 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.
159
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 that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control 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 the City's 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 financial statements. 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
City'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.
