The Honorable Mayor-Commissioner, City Commissioners,
� and Citizens of the City of Clearwater:
The City of Clearwater Charter (Section 2.01(c)3), Florida Statutes, and various covenants relating to debt
,� and pension obligations of the Ciry require an annual audit of the Cit�s financial statements of all funds of
the Ciry by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. These statements must be presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards. Pursuant to these requirements we hereby issue the
� comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Clearwater for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2002.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently,
� management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information
presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management
of the City has established a comprehensive intemal control framework that is designed both to protect
� the governmenYs assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the
preparation of the Cit�s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal
controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls has
been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be
� free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
�
�
�
�
The City's financial statements have been audited by Grant Thornton, LLP, a firm of licensed certified
public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements of the Ciry for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, are free of material
misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for
rendering an unqualified opinion that the Citys financial statements for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2002, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as
the first component of the financial section of the report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally mandated
"Single AudiY' designed to meet the special needs of federal and state grantor agencies. The standards
goveming Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair
presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited governmenYs internal controls and
compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements
involving the administration of federal and state awards. These reports are in the Single Audit section of
this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany
the basic financial statements in the form of ManagemenYs Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter
of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City's
MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the City of Clearwater, Florida
Cleanivater is located on the Pinellas Peninsula midway on Florida's west coast. It is directly located on
the Gulf of Mexico, 20 miles west of Tampa and 20 miles north of St. Petersburg. Clearwater is the
county seat of Pinellas County and one of the largest cities in the Tampa Bay area. The Clearwater
area offers a semitropical climate and 28 miles of beautiful beaches. Consequently, tourism is an
important component of the economy. However, Clearwrater also enjoys a diversity of manufacturing,
service industries, high-tech companies, and a significant retirement population.
The Ciry provides municipal services of police and fire protection; construction and maintenance of
streets, bridges, sidewalks, storm drainage, public parks, and recreation facilities; planning, zoning,
subdivision, and building code regulation and enforcement; redevelopment of declining commercial and
residential neighborhoods; supervised recreation programs; public libraries; water supply and distribution;
waste water collection, treatment, and disposal; natural gas distribution; solid waste collection and
recycling; stormwater management; marina, airpark, convention center, and public fishing pier operations;
and operation of the city-wide parking system.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. Per City Code
of Ordinances the City Manager is required to provide to the City Commission an operating budget for
the ensuing fiscal year, a capital improvement budget, and a five-year capital improvement program,
along with an accompanying budget message no later than 60 days prior to the end of the fiscal year.
7he Commission is required to hold public hearings on the budget and to adopt a final operating
budget and capita� improvement budget no later than September 30, the close to the City's fiscal year.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
�
�
�
�
�
�
Local Economy
The Tampa Bay metropolitan area continues to resist national trends, with housing and job markets �
stronger than most of the nation. The Tampa Bay region has an employed labor force of approximately
1.2 million, which is anticipated to grow at a rate of between 2 percent and 3 percent each year for the
next several years. The unemployment rate for September 2002 was at 4.6 percent versus a national �
average of 5.4 percent. The completion of the new "Memorial Causeway Bridge" should draw national
attention to our beaches as the project proceeds towards completion, bringing additional tourists to the
area. Business development interest in the Cit�s downtown and beach areas has increased significantly
in recent years as property valuation increases reflect. We are also beginning to see renewed interest in �
the Cit�is markets for multi-family and residential housing.
Long-term Financial Planning �
Construction of the new main library, the new Memorial Causeway Bridge, and the `Town Lake" project
began during fiscal 2002. The new 90,000 square foot main library, overlooking the Intracoastal
Waterway in downtown Clearwater, is destined to become a focal point of downtown redevelopment. �
Expected completion is fiscal 2004. The new Memorial Causeway Bridge will be a fixed, high span
"signature piece" bridge to replace the current drawbridge. Expected completion of the bridge is also
fiscal 2004. Finally, the `Town Lake" project is a four acre stormwater treatment pond and park
amenity in downtown Clearwater. The project is expected to be completed during fiscal 2003 and the �
accompanying residential development should play a key role in downtown redevelopment.
�
viii �
�
�
�
�
�
��
�
�J
�'
�
r
Another major project initiated during the current fiscal year is the construction of a new community
sports complex to include a new spring training facility for the Philadephia Phillies major league
baseball organization. Construction is scheduled for completion prior to the 2004 spring training
season.
Several projects also were undertaken in the North Greenwood community during fiscal 2002. These
included a new recreation and aquatics center, branch library, and North Greenwood Avenue corridor
enhancements.
Finally, construction of a new Sand Key fire station was completed during fiscal 2002, with construction
of a new "NorthwesY' fire station, along with replacement of a fire station displaced by a major retail
mall, expected to commence during fiscal 2003.
Cash Management Policies and Practices
As more completely described in Note I— D-1 of the notes to the financial statements, the City employs a
consolidated cash pool to facilitate short-term investment of liquid assets for all City funds. The Ciry
believes that a conservative investment philosophy best serves the residents of Clearwater, and that the
return Qf the investment principal is more important than the return Qn the principal. However, the City
attempts to maximize the return, while maintaining a conservative philosophy, via accurate cash flow
forecasting and competitive selection of investments. The cash pool earned an average rate of return of
4.85% on its investments during fiscal year 2002. Current year investment income includes depreciation
in the fair value of investments that will not be realized if the government holds the investments to maturity
as intended.
Risk Management
The City is self insured within certain parameters for losses arising from claims for general liability,
auto liability, police professional liability, public officials' liability, properry damage, and workers'
compensation. The transactions relating to the self insurance program are accounted for in the Central
Insurance Fund, and are reported as an Internal Service Fund. The Ciry is not self-insured with
respect to major medical coverage. Management believes that the amounts showing as claims payable
and the unreserved retained earnings are adequate to cover all reasonable projected losses arising
from events occurring on or prior to September 30, 2002. Additional information on the Cit�s risk
management activity can be found in Note IV - A of the notes to the financial statements.
Pension and Other Postemployment Beneflts
The Employees' Pension Plan and the Firemen's Pension Plan are single-employer defined benefit
pension plans that are self-administered by the City. Each year, independent actuaries engaged by the
pension plans calculate the amount of the minimum required contributions that the City must make to
each of the plans to ensure that the plans will be able to fully meet their obligations to retired employees
on a timely basis. City contributions for the year were in accordance with actuarially determined funding
requirements.
In addition, supplemental pensions exist for certified Police Officers and Firefighters under the provisions
of Florida Statutes Sections 175 and 185. These plans are funded solely from excise taxes on certain
insurance premiums covering property in Clearwater. The excise taxes are collected by the state and
remitted to the Ciry. Both plans require benefits to be adjusted to equal fund assets provided by the
defined contributions.
Additional information on the Cit�s pension plans can be found in Note IV - E of the notes to the financial
statements.

Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for it's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. This was the twenty-third consecutive year that the City has
received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government
published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both GAAP and
applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We
believe that our current CAFR 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.
In addition, the City also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal year
2002 Budget document, making the sixteenth consecutive year that this award has been received. In
order to qualify, the City's Budget document was judged to be proficient in several categories including as
a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
We wish to thank the many members of the Cirywide Annual Financial Reporting (CAFR) team, which is
composed of individuals in the Finance Department and other financial staff throughout the City, for their
professionalism and dedication in producing this report. In addition, we thank the Graphic
Communications Division for the professional printing of this report. Sincere appreciation is also extended
to the Ciry's external auditors, Grant Thornton, LLP, for their advice and assistance in the preparation of
this report. Finally, we would like to thank the City Commission for their interest, continued support, and
leadership in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a progressive and responsible
manner.
Sincerely,

Report of Independent Certified Putilic Accountants
Honorable Mayor-Commissioner,
City Commissioners and City Manager
City of Clearwater, Florida
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 Clearvvater,
Florida (the City), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. We have also audited the financial
statements of each of the City's nonmajor governmental, nonmajor enterprise, internal service and
fiduciary funds presented as supplementary information in the accompanying combining and individual
fund financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2002, as listed in the table of
contents. We did not audit the financial statements of the Clearwater powntown Development Board, a
component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has
been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Clearwater
Downtown Development Board, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
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 Sfandards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America. Those standards require that we
� plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
� financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
��
�
��
�
�
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of CleanNater, Florida as of September 30, 2002, and
the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
addition, in our opinion, the financiat statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of each nonmajor governmental, nonmajor enterprise, internal service,
and fiduciary fund of the City of Clearwater, Florida as of September 30, 2002, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, effective October 1, 2001, the City adopted
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and
Management's Discussion and Ana/ysis - for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37,
Basic Financial Sfatements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local
Governments: Omnibus, and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated January 10,
2003 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its �
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral
part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in
conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
The ManagemenYs Discussion and Analysis and the pension plan required supplementary information �
on pages 3 and 73, respectively, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Boa�d. We have �
applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the
methods of ineasurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financiat statements. The introductory section and statistical tables are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statement, and accordingly, we express no opinion
on them.
The accompanying schedule of federal and state financial assistance for the year ended September 30,
2002 is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audifs of States, Local Governments, and Non—Profit Organizafions, Section
215.97, Florida Statutes and Chapter 10.550 rules of the Auditor General, and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Management's Discussion and Analysis provides the reader with a narrative overview and analysis of
the City's financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The ManagemenYs
Discussion and Analysis (MD & A) should be read in conjunction with the City's Transmittal Letter,
which begins on page vii of this report.
This is the first year the City of Clean+vater has presented its basic financial sfafements under the new
� financial reporting model required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement Number 34. Because this new reporting model changes significantly not only the
presentation of financial data, but also the manner in which the information is recorded, prior year
� comparative information for this reporting period's MD&A has not been included. This deficiency is a
transition issue and prior year comparative information will be provided in the future, effective with the
fiscal year 2003 MD&A.
�
�

Financial Highlights
The City's assets exceeded its liabilities at the close of fiscal year 2002 by $410.8 million (net assets).
Of this amount, $160.9 million (unrestricted net assefs) may be used to meet the governmenYs
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City's total net assets increased by $33.7 million (or 8.9%). The governmental net assets
increased by $20.2 million (or 12.6%) while the business-type net assets increased by $13.6 million
(or 6.2%).
A significant factor in #he increase in governmental net assets was current year grants and donations
related to major construction projects of approximately $8.5 million as detailed in the Government-
wide Financial Analysis that follows.
The increase in business-type net assets is primarily due to rate increases for Stormwater and Water
& Sewer utilities, along with contributions and grants from other governments and developers, as
discussed in the following analysis of business-type activities.
At September 30, 2002, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
� $102.9 million, an increase of $17.6 million (or 20.6%) in comparison with the prior year. Of this

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis (MD&A) is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of
Clearwater's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three
components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to
the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the
basic financial statements themselves.
3
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities. These statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods
similar to those used by private-sector businesses. Emphasis is placed on the net assets of
governmenta/ activities and business-type activities, and the change in net assets. Governmental
activities are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Governmental activities
include most of the City's basic services, including police, fire, public works, parks and recreation,
and general administration. Business-type activities are intended to recover all or a significant
portion of their costs through user fees and charges. The City's water and sewer system, stormwater
system, gas system, solid waste, recycling, marine, aviation, convention center, and parking system
operations are reported as business-type activities.
• The stafement of net assefs presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities,
with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or
decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator as to whether the financial position of
the City is improving or deteriorating. Net assets are reported in three major categories: 1)
invested in capital assets, net of related debt; 2) restricted; and 3) unrestricted.
The statemenf of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed
as a result of the year's activities. All changes in net assets are recorded in the period in
which the underlying event takes place, which may differ from the period in which cash is
received or disbursed. The Statement of Activities displays the expense of the City's various
programs net of related revenues, as well as a separate presentation of revenues available
for general purposes.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Clearwater itself (known as the
primary governmen�, but also the legally separate Downtown Development Board (DDB). The DDB,
though legally separate, is included as a component unit because it was created by City ordinance
and the City is thereby able to impose its will on the organization. In addition it is the opinion of the
City's management that exclusion of the DDB from the City's financial statements would cause the
financial statements to be incomplete. The Clearwater Redevelopment Agency (CRA), though also
legally separate, is reported as part of the primary government due to the City Commission serving as
the CRA's governing board.
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 fund financial statements provide detailed
information about the City's major funds — not the City as a whole. Fund accounting helps to ensure
and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Based on restrictions on the
use of monies, the City has established many funds that account for the multitude of services
provided to residents. These fund financial statements focus on the City's most significant funds:
governmental, propriefary, and fiduciary.
Governmental funds
Governmental funds are used to report most of the City's basic services. These funds are used to
account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-
wide financial statements. The funds focus on the inflows and outflows of current resources and the
ba/ances 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 governmentai 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 govemmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the governmenYs near-term
financing decisions. Both the govemmental 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 govemmenfal activities.

The City maintains fourteen individual governmentat 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, Special Development, and Capital
Improvement funds, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other eleven
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 stafements in the
supplementary information section of this report.
The City adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General, Special Development, and Community
Redevelopment Agency funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for these
funds to demonstrate budgetary compliance.
Proprietary funds
The City maintains two different types 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 fiscal activities related to water and sewer, gas,
solid waste and stormwater utilities, along with recycling, marine, aviation, parking system, and
convention center operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate
and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. Internal service funds that
predominantly benefit governmental activities are the General Services and Central Insurance funds.
These funds account for the City's building maintenance, custodial services, self-insurance program,
risk management program, and employee group insurance, and have been aggregated and included
within the govemmental activifies in the government-wide financial statements. Internal service funds
that predominantly benefit business-type activities (or enterprise funds) are the Garage and
Administrative Services funds. These funds account for the City's vehicle acquisition and
maintenance, and various support activities including data processing, legal, telecommunications,
postal, and printing services. They have been aggregated and included within the business-fype
acfivities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements,
only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the
Water and Sewer Utility, Gas Utility, Solid Waste Utility, and Stormwater Utility enterprise funds,
which are considered to be major funds of the City. The remaining five non-major enterprise funds
are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements.
Similarly, governmental activity intemal service funds are aggregated into a single presentation, as
are business-type activity internal service funds. Individual fund data for the non-major enterprise
funds and the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the
supplementary information section of this report.
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 the fiduciary funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The
accounting used for fiduciary funds is similar to proprietary funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes fo fhe financial statemenfs provide additional information that is essential for a full
understanding of the information provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes also present certain required supplementary information concerning the City's progress in
funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplemenfary information concerning the City's progress in funding its obligation to
provide pension benefits to its employees.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds, non-
major enterprise funds, and internal service funds, are presented immediately following the required
supplementary information.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
Because this is the first year to report under the new standard (GASB Statement 34), comparison to
the prior year is not feasible. In subsequent years, this section will discuss and analyze significant
differences.
As noted earlier, nef assefs may serve over time as a useful indicator of a governmenYs financial
position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $410.8 million at the close of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2002. The City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of
net assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and
business-type activities.

land improvements, buildings, and equipment), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire

those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens, and consequently
these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in 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 resources, since the capital assets themselves will not be used to liquidate these
liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's net assets (24.9%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets
($160.9 million) may be used to meet the governmenYs ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Changes in Net Assets
The following table reflects the changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2002. Since
� this is the first year the City has prepared financial statements following the GASB Statement 34
implementation, revenue and expense comparisons to 2001 are not available. In future years, when
prior-year information is available, a comparative analysis of government-wide data will be presented.

Governmental Activities
The increase in governmental acfivifies net assets totaled $20.2 million, or 60% of the total increase
in net assets for the City. Key elements of this increase are as follows:
• Contribution from Pinellas County of $5 million towards construction of the new Memorial
Causeway Bridge.
• Increase of approximately $3.8 million in the net pension asset due to legally required (per
ordinance governing the plan) Employees' Pension Plan contributions in excess of actuarially
required contributions.
• Donations and grants for construction of the new Main & North Greenwood branch libraries of
$2.4 million.
• Contributions from Pinellas County and the State of Florida of $0.6 and $0.5 million,
respectively, towards the construction of a new community sports complex to include a spring
training stadium for the Philadelphia Phillies major league baseball organization.
The cost of all Governmental activities this year was $98.7 million. However, as shown on the
Statement of Activities, the amount that the City's taxpayers ultimately financed for these activities
through taxes was only $64.8 million because some of the cost was paid for by those who directly
benefited from the programs ($18.0 million) or by other governments and organizations that
subsidized certain programs with grants and contributions ($15.9 million).

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 govemmental 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, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
governmenYs net resources available for spend.ing at the end of the fiscal year. The City reports the
General Fund, Special Development Fund, and Capital Improvement Fund as major governmental
funds.
The City's governmental funds for the year ended September 30, 2002, reflect a combined fund
balance of $102.9 million, an increase of $17.6 million in comparison with the prior year. A total of
$53.5 million, or 52%, of this represents unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at
the government's discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not
available for new spending because it has already been committed 1) to liquidate construction
contracts and purchase orders of the prior period ($35.0 million); 2) to pay debt service ($6.1 million);
3) for advances due from other funds ($2.0 million); or 4) for specific program purposes per grant
restrictions ($6.2 million).
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At September 30, 2002, unreserved fund
balance of the General Fund totaled $12.7 million, with the remainder of the $15.7 million in fund
balance reserved to indicate it has already been committed for purchase orders of the prior period
($1.0 million) and for advances due from other funds ($2.0 million). As a measure of the general
fund's liquidity it is useful to compare unreserved fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unreserved fund balance represents 15.7% of total general fund expenditures (before transfers) for
the current fiscal year.
The fund balance of the City's General Fund increased by $2.8 million during the current fiscal year.
This increase was the composite result of actual revenues for the General Fund exceeding final
budgeted revenues by $0.8 million and total actual expenditures less than budgeted expenditures by
$2.1 million. The favorable results were spread across numerous revenue and expenditure
categories.
The fund balance of the Special Development Fund decreased from $8.2 million to $6.9 million during
the current fiscal year. A key factor in the decrease was a decrease in interest earnings on
investments of approximately $1.2 million. This decrease was a result of a significant decrease in
interest rates during the current fiscal year, as well as a decrease in cash balances in the Special
Development Fund.
The Capital Improvement Fund has a total fund balance of approximately $34.6 million. The fund had
a minimal current year increase in fund balance of $0.1 million
11
Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements, but in more detail. The City reports the Water and Sewer Utility Fund, the Gas
Utility Fund, the Solid Waste Utility Fund, and the Stormwater Utility fund as major funds.
The Water and Sewer Utility Fund realized a$2.4 million increase in net assets. Operating revenues
increased 5.9% over the previous year, partially offset by a 3.8% increase in operating expenses. A
rate increase effective October 1, 2001 contributed to the increase in operating revenues. A
significant contribution to the increase in net assets was receipt of $2.3 million in capital grants and
contributions that must be used for capital purposes.
The Gas Utility Fund realized a$2.6 million increase in net assets. Operating revenues actually
decreased by 12.2% over the prior year due to depressed gas prices, but a 16.0% decrease in
operating expenses resulted in a$0.5 million improvement in operating income over the prior year.
The Solid Waste Utility Fund realized a$1.5 million increase in net assets. Operating revenues
increased by 2.0% while operating expenses decreased by 0.2%.
The Stormwater Utility Fund realized an increase in net assets of approximately $4.1 million.
Operating revenues increased by 33.9% as a result of a 4.4% rate increase effective October 1,
2001, and an additional 35.0% rate increase effective January 1, 2002. The increase in operating
revenues was partially offset by a 5.4% increase in operating expenses.

Differences between the original budget for General Fund expenditures and the final amended
budget were relatively minor ($149,500 decrease). Key elements of this decrease are as follows:
$102,612 increase in general government budgeted expenditures, primarily due to an
increase in outside legal counsel fees.
$214,830 decrease in public safety budgeted expenditures, primarily due to approximately
$200,000 of Fire Department budget that was moved to the interfund transfer out category.
This budget transfer was made to provide capital improvement project funding for the
purchase of land for a proposed fire station.
Total actual revenues for the General Fund exceeded final budgeted revenues by $0.8 milfion
and total actual expenditures were less than budgeted expenditures by $2.1 million. The
budget savings occurred over numerous revenue and expenditure categories.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
Capital assets include land, buildings and building improvements, improvements other than buildings,
and machinery and equipment. Capital assets also include infrastructure assets added during the
current fiscal year only. Infrastructure assets acquired prior to fiscal 2002 will be added when the City
retroactively implements the infrastructure portion of the new financial reporting model in fiscal 2006.
The infrastructure asset category includes long-lived capital assets, typically stationary in nature,
such as roads, sidewalks, and bridges. At September 30, 2002, the City had investments in capital
assets totaling $418,171,045 (net of accumulated depreciation).

Net capital assets for the City's govemmental acfivities increased from $116.7 million to $130.5
million, reflecting an increase of $13.8 million for the current fiscal year. Key components of this
increase include:
• Acquisition of land in the amount of $3.9 million for a new community sports complex to
include a spring training stadium for the Philadelphia Phillies major league baseball
organization.
• Expenditures of $3.5 million towards construction of a new North Greenwood recreation
center and aquatics comptex, currently class'rfied as construction in progress.
• Expenditures of $3.7 million towards construction of a new main library, currently classified
as construction in progress.
• A total of $1.2 million in construction in progress expenditures towards the construction of a
� new Sand Key fire station.
• A total of $1.0 million in construction in progress expenditures towards completion of a new
North Greenwood branch library.

�
�
Net capital assets for the City's business-type activities increased by $33.1 million from $254.6 million
to $287.7 million during the current fiscal year. A key component was an increase of $21.8 million in
water and sewer system construction in progress, primarily due to system improvements funded from
the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2002. These improvements include expansion of the
reclaimed water program; continued renewal and replacement as needed of the water, wastewater
13
collection, and water pollution control systems; and upgrading of the water pollution control system to
meet regulatory requirements.
Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in Note III.0 on pages 51-53 of this
report.
Long-term debt
The City's total long-term debt increased by $98.2 million, from $193.7 million to $291.9 million, or an
increase of 51 % for the current fiscal year. Key factors in this increase included:
� Current year issuance of $58,680,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2002, to pay
for the costs of expansion of the City's water and sewer system.
• Issuance during the current year of $24,685,000 Stormwater Revenue Bonds, Series 2002,
to pay for the costs of capital improvements to the City's stormwater management system.
• Current year issuance of $14,810,000 Spring Training Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2002,
to finance a portion of the cost of the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, and equipping of
a community sports complex and spring training facility to be used by the Philadelphia

The City's bonded debt as of September 30, 2002, consists entirely of revenue bonds (secured solely
by specified revenue sources) with no general obligation debt or special assessment debt
outstanding. Governmental activities revenue bonds totaled $73.2 million while business-type
activities totaled $185.7 million.
During the current fiscal year the City issued Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001,
to refinance previously outstanding special revenue bonds that primarily financed governmental
activities. The result is expected to be a decrease in future debt service payments of $958,000.
All revenue bond issues of the City have been rated either AAA by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, or Aaa
by Moody's.
The City's Charter limits legal indebtedness to twenty percent of the assessed valuation of non-
exempt real estate. The current debt limitation is in excess of $1.0 billion, which is significantly in
excess of the City's legal indebtedness at September 30, 2002.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note III (F) on pages 57-61 of this
report.
Economic Factors And Year 2003 Budgets and Rates
Factors considered in preparing the City of Clearwater's budget for fiscal year 2003 included:
The unemployment rate for the Tampa Bay metropolitan area for September 2002 was 4.4%,
an increase of 0.4% from the 4.0% rate for September 2001. The national rate for
September 2002 was 5.6% versus 4.9% for September 2001.
Total taxable assessed values for the City of Clearwater increased 9.2% for fiscal 2002.
• A Florida Power Company rate decrease of 9% effective May 2002 will result in an estimated
$1 million decrease in City franchise fee and utility tax revenues for fiscal 2003.

• Health insurance cost increases for City employees are expected to impact the fiscal 2003
� budget by over $1.5 million, of which approximately $741,000 impacts the General Fund.
The fiscal 2003 City property tax millage was increased from 5.5032 mills to 5.753 mills, an increase
� of 2498 mills or 4.5%. This increase will generate an estimated $1.3 million in additional property tax
revenues for fiscal 2003, which will assist in offsetting the anticipated loss in franchise fees and utility
tax revenues discussed previously. Budgeted Water and Sewer utility revenues for 2003 reflect a 7%
� rate increase effective January 1, 2003, while fiscal 2003 budgeted Stormwater utility revenues reflect
a 17% rate increase effective October 1, 2002.

Total fund balances of governmental funds
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources, therefore,

accumulated depreciation is $46,834,644.
Total capital assets for governmental activities
Less: Land included in governmental funds as "Land Held for Resale'

resources and is not reported in the funds.
Accrued general long-term debt interest expenses are not financial uses and, therefore,
are not reported in the funds.
Special assessment liens receivable are not financial resources in the current period
and, therefore, are reported as deferred revenues in the funds.
The assets and liabilities of the General Services and Central Insurance internal
service funds (funds used to charge the costs of certain activities to individual
funds) are included in the governmental activities in the statement of net assets.
Net assets of General Services and Central Insurance intemal service funds
Less: Capital assets included in total governmental capital assets above
Less: Net pension asset included in total governmental net pension asset above
Add: Capital lease purchases payable included in total governmental below
Add: Compensated absences included in total governmental below
Add: Adjustment to reflect the consolidation of intemal service fund activities
related to enterprise funds
Interest revenues are not recognized in the current period because the resources are
not available, therefore, are not reported in the funds.

period and accordingly are not reported in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Bonds payable
Less: Deferred charge on refunding (to be amortized as interest expense)
Less: Deferred charge for issuance costs (to be amortized over life of debt)
Less: Issuance discount (to be amortized as interest expense)

City of Clearwater, Florida
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and
Changes ln Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2002
Net change in fund balances - total govemmental funds
Amounts reported for govemmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures while govemmental activities report
depreciation expense to allocate those costs over the life of the assets. This is the amount by
which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.
Expenditures for capital assets
Less current year depreciation
In the Statement of Activities the loss on disposiUon of capital assets is reported. The loss is not
a use of current resources and thus is not reported in the funds.
Loan proceeds provide current financial resources to govemmental funds; however issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. In the current year these amounts are:
Revenue bond proceeds
Capital lease proceeds
Some expenditures and other financing sources (uses) of the govemmental funds are deferred
and amortized in relation to the related debt in the Statement of Activities:
Net discount (premium) on revenue bonds issued during current year
Issuance costs for revenue bonds issued during current year
Loss on current year refunding
Repayment of long term debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, however the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. Current year amounts are:
Revenue bond principal payments
Capital lease principal payments
Principal portion of payment to escrow agent for refunding of bonds
Net pension asset is not a current financial resources and consequentiy is not reported in the
funds. However it is an asset in the Statement of Net Assets.
Current year change in the net pension asset
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial
resources and therefore are not reported as e�enditures in the govemmental funds.
Current year change in compensated absences
Amortization of deferred charge on refunding
Amortization of issuance costs
Amortization of bond discounts and premiums
Accrued interest expense
Special assessment revenues are deferred until collected in the govemmental funds. The
revenues collected in the current year were prior year revenues in the Statement of Activfties.
Interest revenues will not be collected for several months after the fiscal year and are not
accrued in the govemmental funds.
The net revenues of internal service funds (funds used to charge the costs of certain activities
to individual funds) for govemmental activities are reported in the Statement of Activities but not
in the govemmental funds.
Total net assets of govemmental activities

City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
Note I— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Clearwater, Florida (the City) was incorporated in 1923 per Chapter 9710, Special Laws of Florida, as
amended. The City is a Florida municipal corporation governed by a five member City Commission including a
mayor-commissioner. The City has an estimated population of 109,000 and is located in the four-county Tampa-St.
Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which has an estimated population of 2,414,900.
The financial statements of the City of Clearwater, Florida reporting entity (City) have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial
reporting. Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued after November 30, 1989,
are not applied in the preparation of the financial statements of the proprietary fund types in accordance with GASB
Statement Number 20. The GASB periodically updates its codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and
Financial Reporting standards which, along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and
Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units. The City's more significant accounting policies are
described below.
In June 1999, the GASB unanimously approved "Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and
Analysis for State and Local Governments" (Statement #34). This statement results in the most significant change in
governmental financial reporting in over twenty years and is scheduled for a phased implementation (based on the
size of the government) starting with fiscal years ending 2002. As part of this Statement, there are new reporting
requirements for governments' infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc). This requirement permits an optional four-year
delay for retroactive implementation of the infrastructure reporting requirements to fiscal 2006. The City has elected
to implement the basic model for fiscal year 2002 and will defer implementation of the retroactive infrastructure
reporting to fiscal year 2006.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
In evaluating the City as a reporting entity, management has included in the accompanying financial statements the
City of Clearwater (the primary government) and its component units, entities for which the government is considered
to be financially accountable. The City has adhered to the standards set forth in GASB Statement No. 14 in reporting
the primary government (including blended component units), discretely presented component units, the reporting
entity, and related organizations.
Blended Component Units — Component units that meet the criteria for blended presentation in accordance with
GASB Statement Number 14 are reported in a manner similar to that of the primary government itself. Accordingly,
throughout this report, data presented for the primary government includes data of the following blended component
unit. The Clearwater Redevelopment Agency (CRA), created by authority of Florida Statute Chapter 163, Part III, and
City of Clearwater Resolution 81-68, although it is legally separate, is reported as if it were part of the City (blended
component unit) due to the City Commission serving as the governing board of the CRA. Separate financial
statements for the CRA are not available. However financial statements for the CRA are included in the City's
comprehensive annual financial report as a governmental special revenue fund.
Discretely Presented Component Units — Component units that meet the criteria for discrete presentation in
accordance with GASB Statement Number 14 are presented in a separate component units column in the
government-wide financial statements in order to clearly distinguish the balances and transactions of the component
unit from those of the primary government. The discretely presented component unit listed below is reported
separately in the financial statements and in the related notes and required supplementary information. The
Clearwater powntown Development Board (DDB) was created by authority of Florida Statutes 70-635 and 77-637,
and City Ordinance 5347-93, but is legally separate from the City and governed by a separate board. The DDB was
created by City ordinance and the City is thereby able to impose its will on the organization. Additionally the exclusion
of the DDB's activities from the City's financial statements would, in the opinion of the City's management, cause the
financial statements to be incomplete. Consequently the DDB is reported in a separate column in the government-
wide financial statements as a discretely presented component unit of the financial reporting entity, in accordance
with GASB Statement No. 14. The DDB's financial statements have been incorporated into the City's comprehensive
annual financial report as a governmenta/ discretely presented component unit. Separate financial statements for the
DDB can be obtained from the City's Finance Department located at 100 S. Myrtle Avenue, Clearwater, Florida.

B. Basic Financial Statements Under the New Financial Reporting Model
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 the City implemented the new financial reporting model as of result
of the following Statements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB): GASB Statement No. 34,
Basic Financia/ Sfatemenf-and Managemenf's Discussion and Analysis-for Stafe and Loca/ Govemments; GASB
Statement No. 36, Recipient Reporting for Certain Shared Nonexchange Revenues, an amendmenf of GASB
Stafemenf No. 33; GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and
Analysis-for State and Local Governmenfs: Omnibus, an amendment of GASB Sfafements No. 21 and No. 34; and
GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disc/osures.
The City's Basic Financial Statements contain three components: government-wide financial statements, fund
financial statements, and notes to the financial statements.
1. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements report information on all of
the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units using the accrual basis of accounting,
which is similar to the accounting used by private-sector businesses. For the most part, the effect of intertund 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. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from the legally separate
component unit for which the primary government is financially accountable.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the assets and liabilities of the City. The difference
between assets and liabilities is reported as net assets. Changes in net assets may serve as an indicator of whether
the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
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. The operating grants
include operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects
capital-specific grants. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead
as general revenues. All revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the underlying transaction has occurred,
regardless of when cash is received or paid.
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 other quasi-external charges between enterprise
funds 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.
� 2. Fund financial statements. 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. The
fund financial statements are, in substance, very similar to the financial statements presented in the previous financial
reporting model. A new emphasis is on the major funds in either the governmental or business-type categories.
� Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the
fund financial statements. Non-major funds (by category) are summarized into a single column.
�
r
�
The City reports the following major govemmental funds:
The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Special Development fund is a special revenue fund used to account for impact fees, property taxes for road
improvements, local option gas taxes, infrastructure taxes, and other revenues which are restricted legally or by City
Commission policy to be used for specific capital improvement projects.
41
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
The Capital Improvement Fund is used to provide combined accounting presentation for all City capital improvement
projects except those financed from proprietary funds or bond proceeds where bond ordinance provisions require the
segregation of bond proceeds in separate funds.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water and Sewer Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and
maintenance of the water and sewer services of the City from charges made to users of the service.
The Gas Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the
gas service of the City from charges made to the users of the service.
The Solid Waste Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance
of the solid waste service of the City from charges made to the users of the service.
The Stormwater Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance
of the stormwater management system of the City from charges assessed against each developed property.
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 the
proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales
and service, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting
this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds account for fleet management, information technology, telephone, graphics, employee
relations, facilities management, radio communications, insurance, and risk management services provided to other
City departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The Garage and Administrative Services internal service funds
primarily benefit enterprise funds and are therefore included as business-type activities in the government-wide
financial statements. The remaining internal service funds, the General Services and Central Insurance funds,
primarily benefit governmental funds and are consequently included as governmental activities. Pension trust funds
account for the financial operation and condition of the Employees' Pension Plan, the Firemen's Relief and Pension
Plan, the Police Supplemental Pension Plan, and the Firefighters Supplemental Pension Plan.
The Treasurer's Escrow Agency Fund accounts for the receipt, custody, and expenditure of monies held temporarily
in an agency capacity for other parties.
The pension trust funds and the agency fund are fiduciary funds used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not included in the government-wide financial statements
because the resources of these funds are not available to support the City's own programs.
C. 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. Properry taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they
are collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liabiliry
is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are ail considered
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period for the governmental
!; funds. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
government.

D. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
1. Deposits, pooled cash, and investments
Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to meet the definition of cash equivalents.
The majority of the investments in which the City's funds have equity are held by the City's consolidated pool of cash and
investments. The City utilizes the consolidated cash pool to account for cash and investments of all Ciry funds other than
those that are required by ordinance to be physically segregated. The consolidated cash pool concept allows each
participating fund to benefit from the economies of scale and improved yield that are inherent to a larger investment pool.
Formal accounting records detail the individual equities of the participating funds. The cash pool utilizes a single
checking account for all City receipts and disbursements.
Since fund equities in this cash management pool have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that additional
funds may be deposited at any time and also funds may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalry, each
fund's equity account is considered a cash equivalent regardless of the maturities of investments held by the pool.
All individual fund cash equiry in a deficit (overdraft) position with respect to the consolidated cash pool is reclassified
at year-end to short-term intertund payables to the Capital Improvement Fund. The Capital Improvement Fund is the
fund selected by management to reflect the offsetting intertund receivables in such cases.
The City has an agreement with its depository bank to provide that all excess cash is swept daily and automatically
into an overnight money market account which pays interest at 14 basis points (0.14%) less than the daily federal
funds rate (1.75% at September 30, 2002), with no requirement for a minimum compensating balance. This account
is collateralized through the State of Florida Public Deposits Program.
Under City Charter and the current Investment Policy, adopted by the City Commission on September 7, 1995,
consolidated cash pool investments are limited to the following: United States Government Securities, Certificates of
Deposit in Local Banks, Repurchase Agreements, Savings Account in Local Banks, Federal Government Agency
Securities, Municipal Bonds (other than City of Clearwater issues), State of Florida Bonds, and Municipal Bonds
issued by counties in Florida.
The City utilizes a very conservative investment philosophy when it invests its pooled cash funds in that the return of the
principal is more important than the return on the principal. The City does not actively trade its portfolio and generally
holds investments until maturity. Through the use of a laddered approach to maturities and by timing maturities to cash
needs, the City does not anticipate selling investments to meet cash flow requirements.
Under the City's Investment Policy, a pertormance measure standard has been established. The pertormance measure
chosen is a weighted average of: the overnight interest rate; and three month, six month, one year, and three year
� Treasury rates respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the pertormance measure weighted average
is 2.20%. The actual pooled cash eamings pertormance, before bank charges, was 4.85%.
� Investments being held outside of the consolidated cash pool include escrowed debt service investments and
employee retirement investments. Permissible escrowed debt service investments are specifically defined in each
individual debt instrument, but generally follow the same limitations which apply to consolidated cash pool
investments. The City maintains four different employee retirement programs, and each one has its own list of
� permitted investments. Generally, each plan allows the same type of investments as the consolidated cash pool, but
additionally allows some portion of its assets to be invested in stocks, bonds, and notes of corporations listed on one
or more of the recognized national stock exchanges.

City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
2. Receivables and payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal
year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e. the current portion of intertund loans) or "advances
to/from other funds" (i.e. the non-current portion of intertund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds
are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities
and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances".
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account
in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable
available financial resources.
All trade and properry tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Trade accounts receivable
less than 60 days are included in the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles at the five-year average
loss experience rate of 4.89%. Trade accounts receivable in excess of 60 days are reserved at 40%. The property
tax receivable allowance for uncollectibles is 10% of the current year portion of the receivable, and 30%, 50%, 70%,
90%, and 95% for the receivable portions attributable to the prior five years respectively (fiscal 2001 thru 1997), and
100% of the receivable attributable to fiscal years 1996 and prior.
Properry tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied, provided the availability test is
met, in conformance with NCGA Interpretation No. 3. Property taxes for the following fiscal year are levied by
commission action in September of each year. This levy is apportioned to property owners based on the previous
January 1 assessed values. Tax bills are mailed out on or about November 1, and the collection period runs from
November 1 through March 31. On April 1, unpaid property taxes are considered delinquent and become a lien. Tax
certificates are sold in June for real property with delinquent taxes.
Since taxes are not collected prior to November 1, the City does not record revenue for advance collections.
Uncolleated taxes receivable at year-end are recorded, with an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible
amounts. The net amount deemed to be collectible but not current (not expected to be collected within sixty days
after the close of the fiscal year) is shown as a deferred revenue in the appropriate fund. Additionally, taxes assessed
for the following fiscal year are recorded as a receivable and a deferred revenue in accordance with Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 33.
All delinquent property taxes, except those levied specifically for the restricted purposes of financing activities
accounted for in the Special Development Fund, are recorded in the General Fund. Property tax revenues are
recognized in the General Fund and the required transfers to the appropriate debt service or pension fund are
recorded as operating transfers from the General Fund.
The City is permitted by State law to levy ten mills without referendum. Additional millage not subject to the ten mill
limitation is authorized if approved by referendum. The tax rate of 5.5032 mills for the year ended September 30,
2002 was unchanged from the September 30, 2001 rate.
3. Inventories and prepaid items
Inventories of proprietary funds are stated at cost and valued on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. In governmental funds,
the majority of inventory items are accounted for under the purchases method, which provides that expenditures are
recognized when the inventory item is purchased. The only governmental fund inventory that is accounted for under the
consumption method is the General Fund inventory of items for resale at the fishing pier. Under the consumption
method, the expenditure is recognized when the inventory item is sold (or consumed).
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in
both government-wide and fund financial statements.

4. Restricted assets
Certain resources of the City's enterprise funds are classified as restricted assets. Restricted assets include: Water and
Sewer improvement charges restricted by the authorizing ordinances to the construction of additions and improvements
to the water and sewer systems, and assets of the Water & Sewer Utility, Gas Utility, Stormwater Utility, and Parking
System funds restricted under the provisions of authorizing ordinances for revenue bonds to the payment of future
revenue bond debt service, system construction, and renewals and replacements.
5. Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and certain infrastructure assets, (e.g. roads, bridges, and
similar items) are reported in the applicable govemmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. However infrastructure assets are only reported for the current fiscal year. The City has chosen to
defer implementation of retroactive infrastructure reporting to fiscal year 2005/2006 per the current year implementation
of GASB Statement #34. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial individual cost of more than
$5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of five years. Individual assets that cost less than
$5,000, but that operate as part of a network system, will be capitalized in the aggregate, using the group method, if
the estimated average useful life of the individual asset is five years or more. Additionally, higher thresholds for
capitalization apply to the following categories: land improvements, $50,000; buildings, building improvements, and
utility systems, $100,000; and infrastructure, $500,000. Capital assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the
date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred
during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of
the assets constructed. The total interest expense incurred by the City during the current fiscal year was $6,448,996.
Of this amount, $160,073, $769,723, and $60,471 were included as part of the cost of capital assets under
construction in connection with stormwater, water & sewer, and gas system projects, respectively.
Properry, plant, and equipment of the primary govemment, as well as the component units, as applicable, are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings & building improvements 10-40
Public domain infrastructure 20-40
Utility system infrastructure 25-40
Land improvements 5-50
Machinery & equipment 5-33
Vehicles 5-10
6. Compensated absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. Generally
employees may accumulate vacation time not exceeding 360 hours and sick leave not exceeding 1,560 hours. Upon
retirement from City service a qualified employee is paid for all vacation time not exceeding 360 hours and one-half of
accumulated unused sick leave not exceeding 1,560 hours (i.e. maximum pay-out of 780 hours). The City accrues for alt
earned but unused vacation pay up to the "cap" of 360 hou�s, and the portion of unused sick leave estimated to be
payable upon retirement. The current portion of compensated absences is the amount estimated to be used in the
following year.
7. 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
45

activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are �eported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the
term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental 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.
8. Fund equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not
available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund
balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.
Note II — Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
A. Budgets and budgetary accounting
Annual budgets are legally adopted for the City's General Fund, the Special Development Special Revenue Fund, and
the Community Redevelopment Agency Special Revenue Fund.
The City of Clearwater observed the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data for the General Fund and
Special Development Fund, as reflected in the financial statements:
On June 15, 2001, the City Manager submitted to the Clearwater Ciry Commission proposed budgets for the fiscal year
commencing October 1, 2001 and ending September 30, 2002. Public Hearings were held on September 6, 2001, and
September 20, 2001, at the Clearwater Commission Chambers to obtain citizen comments. On September 20, 2001,
official budgets were legally adopted by Ordinance No. 6842-01. Subsequent quarterly budget amendments were
adopted on April 4, 2002, (Ordinance 6956-02) and July 18, 2002 (Ordinance 6995-02). The final amended budget was
adopted October 3, 2002 (Ordinance 7009-02). The budget for the Special Development Fund is adopted on a basis
consistent with GAAP, and appropriations lapse at year-end. Appropriations for open encumbered purchase orders at
year-end in the General Fund do not lapse, but rather continue until liquidated or otherwise cancelled by City
Commission action. On the General Fund budgetary comparison statements, actual expenditures have been adjusted to
include end-of-year encumbrances and to exclude beginning-of-year encumbrances to provide for a meaningful
comparison. Except for the treatment of encumbrances and certain transactions relating to interfund loans, the General
Fund Budget is adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP, and all non-encumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
The level of budgetary control established by the legislative body, the level on which expenditures may not legally
exceed appropriations, is the individual fund. In accordance with provisions of Ordinance 5025-90 and with Section
2.519(4) of the Clearwater Code, the City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation
balance among programs within an operating fund, provided such action does not result in the discontinuance of a
program. Such transfers must be included in the next budget review presented to the City Commission. Upon
detailed written request by the City Manager, the City Commission may by ordinance transfer part or all of any
unencumbered appropriation balance from one fund to another.
As established by administrative policy, department directors may transfer money from one operating code to another
within a program without a formal written amendment. Formal requests for budget amendments from department
directors are required for transfers in capital expenditures, transfers, and reserves. Thus, certain object classifications
within departmental and/or program budget appropriations are subject to administratively imposed controls, in
addition to the legal controls imposed by City Commission action described above.
The annual budget for the Community Redevelopment Agency is adopted by the trustees of that agency in accordance
with state law. The current year budget was officially adopted on June 18, 2001. The budget is adopted on a basis
consistent with GAAP, the level of budgetary control is the total fund, and appropriations lapse at year-end.

Budget amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements reflect all amendments adopted by the City
Commission and the governing boards of component units. All amendments were adopted in conformance with legal
requirements. Individual amendments, as well as the net effects of all amendments during the fiscal year, were not
material in relation to the original appropriations for the governmental funds in the aggregate.
The Clearwater City Commission also adopts budgets for the Enterprise Funds, all Internal Service Funds, the Capital
Projects Funds, the Special Programs Fund, and the Local Housing Assistance Trust Fund. Budgetary comparisons for
the Enterprise and Internal Service funds are not required by NCGA Statement No. 1 for the general purpose financial
statements and are not included in this report. Budgets for the Capital Projects Funds, the Special Programs Fund, and
the Local Housing Assistance Trust Fund are adopted on a multi-year completed program basis, where budgetary
appropriations do not lapse at year-end, but may extend across two or more fiscal years. A comparison of annual results
with these budgets would not be meaningful and is therefore not included in this report.
All City Commission adopted budgets are integrated into the formal accounting system to allow for monthly
comparison of projected and actual experience in all funds for which budgets are adopted.
The annual budget for the Clearwater powntown Development Board (DDB), a discretely presented component unit
of the City, is adopted by the members of that board in accordance with state law. The current year budget was
officially adopted on September 13, 2001. Separate financial statements for the DDB can be obtained from the City's
Finance Department located at 100 S. Myrtle Avenue, Clearwater, Florida.
B. Excess of expenditures over appropriations
The Communiry Redevelopment Agency Special Revenue Fund had intertund "transfers out° in excess of appropriations
in the amount of $210,939 due to unbudgeted transfers to capital projects funds.
C. Re-statement of prior year balances
The following require restatement of prior year balances. All restatement amounts are detailed in the table below.
1. Elimination of contributed capital category
The implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 (GASB 34) required the
elimination of the coniributed capifal equity category and the reclassification of prior contributed capital balances as
net assets.
2. Adjustment to fixed asset balances due to new capitalization policy
Effective October 1, 2001, the City implemented a new capitalization policy that included increased thresholds for
capitalization of fixed assets. This required a prior period restatement to reflect a decrease in general government
capital assets and proprietary fund net assets for the previously capitalized assets that do not meet the revised
capitalization thresholds.
� 3. Adjustments to general fixed asset balances per GASB 34 implementation
The City's current year implementation of GASB 34 resulted in a comprehensive reconciliation of fixed asset activity
� for prior years. This reconciliation process identified buildings and improvements ofher than buildings that
erroneously remained in the fixed asset balances though the assets were previously disposed of. The balances have
been adjusted to reflect the deletion of these fixed assets.
4. Eliminatlon of expendable trust fund
The implementation of GASB 34 eliminated the fiduciary fund category expendable trusf funds. In prior years the City
� reported an expendable trust fund, the Rehabilitation Loan Fund. The City has merged the Rehabilitation Loan Fund
net assets with the Special Programs Special Revenue Fund for current year reporting in compliance with the GASB
34 requirements.

5. Sales tax revenue correction - Special Development Fund
Due to the timing of sales tax receipts, the prior year's Special Development Fund sales tax revenue included
revenues for the months of September2000 thru August 2001. The fund balance has been restated to reflect the
September 2001 revenues and the current year revenues reflect October 2001 through September 2002 revenues.

Note III — Detailed Notes on All Funds
A. Deposits and investments
Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to meet the definition of cash equivalents.
� The majority of the investments in which the City's proprietary funds have equiry are held by the City's consolidated pool
of cash and investments. Since fund equities in this cash management pool have the general characteristics of demand
deposits in that additional funds may be deposited at any time and also funds may be withdrawn at any time without prior
notice or penalty, each fund's equity account is considered a cash equivalent regardless of the maturities of investments
�� held by the pool. Funds which have deficit (overdraft) positions within the consolidated pool report the deficits as
intertund payables to the City's Capital Improvement Fund.
� Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 3 requires certain disclosures for deposits and
investments, including managemenYs determination of custodial credit risk, defined as follows:
�
LJ
�
�
�
�.
�
For deposits, the bank balance must be categorized as follows:
Category 1: Insured or collateralized with securities held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
Category 2: Collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in
the City's name.
Category 3: Uncollateralized.
For investments other than deposits, the following categories apply:
Category 1: Insured or registered, or held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
Category 2: Uninsured and unregistered, held by the counterparty's (purchasing agent's) trust department or
� agent in the City's name.
Category 3: Uninsured and unregistered, held by the counterparty, its trust department, or agent, but not in the
Ciry's name.
As described above, the City's depository banking agreement provides for the investment of all excess cash daily into
a collateralized repurchase agreement, whereby all deposits deemed to be collected are automatically deposited.
City deposits consist of relatively small cash balances held by Debt Service Trustees and Employee Retirement
Custodians. The bank balances equal the carrying amount for these deposits, and managemenYs classification of
custodial credit risk is indicated in the table below. Because these amounts are part of the trustee's and custodian's
composite account, they are classified along with investments on the balance sheet.
Managed mutual funds and guaranteed investment contracts are not susceptible to classification by risk category and
are disclosed but not categorized pursuant to GASB Statement 3. Management has classified all other investments
into Category 1, with the exception of certain employee retirement investments that are being held by the financial
institution also serving as investment manager, and certain escrowed debt service investments that are being held by
the financial institution from which they were purchased. The carrying value for all investments is fair value in
accordance with GASB Statement 31.

D. Interfund receivables, payables, and transfers
1. Intertund Balances
As mentioned in Note (1 C), individual fund deficits in the consolidated cash pool have been reclassified as of
September 30, 2002, as interfund loans from the Capital Improvement Fund, which was selected by management for
this purpose. This reclassification results in a corresponding reduction in the cash equiry in the Capital Improvement
Fund, offset by an increase in intertund receivables.
The amounts of the reclassified cash pool deficits, as well as other individual fund intertund payable and receivable
balances (current), at September 30, 2002, were as follows:

3. Advance refunding of bonds
On October 15, 2001, the City issued $11.47 million in Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001 with an
average interest rate of 4.9 percent to advance refund $415,000 of outstanding Public Service Tax and Bridge Revenue
Bonds, Series 1985, with an average interest rate of 9.1 percent; and to advance refund $9.77 million of outstanding
Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1995, with an average interest rate of 5.9 percent. The net proceeds of $10.8
million, (after payment of $233,000 in underwriting fees, insurance, and other issuance costs and $867,000 deposited to
the Reserve Fund) plus an additional $395,000 of debt service reserve transfers from refunded bonds, were deposited
in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the 1985 and 1995 Series
bonds. As a result, the Public Service Tax and Bridge Revenue Bonds, Series 1985, and the Improvement Revenue
Bonds, Series 1995, are considered to be defeased and the liability for the bonds has been removed from the
government-wide statement of net assets.
The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old debt by $445,844. This difference, reported in the
accompanying financial statements as a deduction from bonds payable, is being charged to operations through the year
2025 using the effective-interest method. The City completed the advance refunding to reduce its total debt service
payments over the next 24 years by $958,000 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values
of the old and new debt service payments) of $460,000.
In prior fiscal years, the City entered into various advance-refunding transactions related to certain of its bonded debt.
A portion of the proceeds of the refunding bond issues was placed in trust and used to purchase securities of the United
States Government and related agencies at various interest rates and maturities sufficient to meet all debt service
requirements of the refunded debt, of which $64,040,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2002. These assets are
administered by trustees and are restricted to use for retirement of the refunded debt. The liability for the refunded
bonds and the related securities and escrow accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements as the
City defeased its obligation for payment of the refunded bonded debt upon completion of the refunding transactions.

A. Risk management
The City is self-insured within certain parameters for losses arising from claims for general liability, auto liability, police
professional liability, public official's liability, property damage, and workers' compensation. Insurance coverage has
been maintained by the City to pay for or indemnify the City for losses in excess of certain specific retentions and up to
specified maximum limits in the case of claims for liability, property damage, and workers' compensation. The liabiliry
and workers compensation excess coverage is $7,000,000 per occurrence (no aggregate applicable) with self-insured
retention of $500,000. The property damage excess coverage is $240,000,000 at ninety percent of total insurable value
with a$500,000 self-insured retention. Settled claims have not exceeded excess coverage in any of the past three
years.

The transactions relating to the self-insurance program are accounted for in the Central Insurance Fund, an Internal
Service Fund. The billings by the Central Insurance Fund to the various operating funds (the intertund premiums) are
based on actuariat estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims. The claims liabiliry reported
at September 30, 2002, is based on the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10,
which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuanee of the financial statements
indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the
loss can be reasonably estimated.

B. Statements of cash flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to
meet the definition of cash equivalents. The majority of the investments in which the Ciry's proprietary funds have equity
are held by the City's consolidated pool of cash and investments. Since fund equities in this cash management pool have
the general characteristics of demand deposits in that additional funds may be deposited at any time and also funds may
be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty, each fund's equity account is considered a cash equivalent
regardless of the maturities of investments held by the pool. Funds with deficit (overdraft) positions within the consolidated
pool report the deficits as interfund payables to the City's Capital Improvement Fund.
C. Capitalization of interest
Interest costs incurred in enterprise funds during construction are capitalized, net of interest income from the proceeds
of related tax-exempt debt if applicable, as part of the cost of the related assets of the respective enterprise funds.
Interest costs on long-term debt incurred and capitalized during the year ended September 30, were as follows:
Total Interest Interest Costs Net Interest

E. Employee retirement systems and pension plans
1. Defined benefit pension plans
The City contributes to two separate single-employer, self-administered defined benefit pension plans covering
approximately three-fourths of all City employees. The Employees' Pension Plan covers all permanent, full-time City
employees who successfully pass the required physical examination, except for firefighters employed prior to July 1, 1963,
and certain nonclassified (primarily managerial) employees. The Firemen's Relief and Pension Plan covered eligible
firefighters hired prior to July 1, 1963, and is closed to new entrants. Neither of these plans issues a stand-alone financial
report. As indicated, both plans are self-administered, and the costs of administering the plans are paid from the respective
plan assets.
The Employees' Pension Plan is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.391 through 2.411 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Clearwater. Plan provisions have been duly approved as required by the voters in
referendums, the most recent of which was held on March 14, 2000. The plan provisions were changed effective January
1, 2000 to provide a 1.5% cost of living increase, an additional normal retirement age of 65 with 10 years of service, plus
additional eligibilities and benefits for police and firefighters. The normal retirement benefit is a monthly benefit equal to 2-
3/4% of average monthly compensation for the final 5 years of service multiplied by the number of years of service to date
of retirement. The minimum benefit under the plan is $300 per month. Eligibility for normal retirement occurs upon
completion of at least 10 years of service and the attainment of age 65, or completion of at least 20 years of service and the
attainment of age 55, or completion of 30 years of service, for employees engaged in non-hazardous duty. For those
engaged in hazardous duty, eligibility occurs upon completion of 20 years of service. The normal monthly benefits are
payable for the life of the participant and continue, after the participant's death, to be paid at the same amount for 5 years to
eligible surviving beneficiaries; after 5 years, the survivor annuity is reduced to fifty percent (50%) of the original amount.
The plan provides for an annual cost of living increase of up to one and one-half percent (1-1/2%). The plan also provides
for disability and death benefits, vesting after completion of 10 years of service and the refund of employee contributions in
case of a non-vested termination. There are seven other benefit payment options that are computed to be the actuarial
equivalent of the normal benefit. Covered employees contribute 8% of their compensation. It is the city's obligation to
provide a sufficient additional contribution to maintain the actuarial soundness of the fund but, in any event, not less than
7% of participating employee's compensation per the ordinance governing the plan.
The Firemen's Relief and Pension Plan is authorized and operated under the provisions of Subpart B, Article I(Laws of
Florida, Chapter 30658, 1955 and amendments), Sections 1 through 27 of the Municipal Charter and Related Law of
the City of Clearwater and Chapter 26, Article III, Sections 26.50 through 26.52 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Clearwater. The normal retirement benefit is a monthly benefit in the amount of 50% of the prevailing wage at the date
of retirement of the lowest rank held by the participant during the three years immediately preceding retirement plus 2%
of such prevailing wage for each year of service in excess of 20 years up to a maximum of 60%. Participants retiring at
the age of 65 years are entitled to a benefit of 60% of the prevailing wage of the lowest rank held by the participant
during the three years immediately preceding retirement. The ending rate of pay specified above may not exceed the
highest rate of pay for the rank of Captain. Eligibility for normal retirement occurs upon completion of 20 years of
service or attainment of age 65. The monthly benefits are payable for the life of the participant and continue, after the
participanYs death, to be paid to certain eligible surviving beneficiaries at an amount that is one-half of the amount
received by the participant. Benefits are also provided for children of the deceased participant who are less than 18
years of age subject to certain limitations as to amount. The plan also provides for disability and death benefits and for
vesting upon completion of at �east 12 years of service. The plan provides for post retirement cost of living increases
equal to the increase in the prevailing wage for the rank at which the participant retired with a limitation for those retiring
on or after January 1, 1972, of 100% of the initial pension benefit for total cost of living increases. Participating
employees are required to contribute 6% of their salaries up to the equivalent of the salary of a fireman holding the rank
of Captain. The City is required to contribute a sufficient additional amount to maintain the actuarial soundness of the
plan for a period of 35 years commencing January 1, 1972; this contribution is based upon, but not limited to, the
amount of property tax that a levy of 0.6 mills would produce.

It is the City's policy to fund pension costs accrued as determined on an actuarial basis. Annual required contributions
(ARC) for the Employees' Pension Fund are calculated using the Entry Age Normal with Frozen Initial Liability method.
The initial unfunded actuarial accrued liability determined at July 1, 1963, is being amortized over a 40-year period;
changes made in 1979 and subsequent years which have had the effect of either increasing or decreasing the actuarial
liability are being amortized over a 30-year period from their effective dates in accordance with State law. Annual
required contributions (ARC) for the Firemen's Relief and Pension Fund are based on a variation of the aggregate
actuarial cost method, under which the unfunded portion of the present value of the projected benefits is allocated over
the present value of a 6.0% per year increasing annuity for the remaining years in the 35-year funding period which
began January 1, 1972, pursuant to an agreement between the City and the Plan participants. For this purpose, the
unfunded actuarial liability is determined after consideration of the available assets at the valuation date. The
increasing fixed schedule produced by this method was established in 1988 and will be modified in the future only to the
extent that a current valuation indicates a higher required cost level, or if the resulting cost level exceeds 60% of a mill
in a current year. Under the non-standard cost method used for this plan (due to the fact that there are no longer any
active employees), all liabilities are unfunded actuarial liabilities and are being amortized according to the cost method.
The net pension asset for the Employees' Pension Plan, representing excess contributions as calculated per GASB 27
requirements, is identical in amount to the plan "credit balance" as disclosed in prior years. A total of $14,731,211 of
the current net pension asset balance is attributable to governmental funds and therefore is not reflected in the
governmental fund financial statements in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. The remaining
$6,714,771 attributable to proprietary funds is reflected in the proprietary fund financial statements on the accrual basis
of accounting.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Nos. 25 and 27 require the presentation, as supplementary
information, of certain 6-year historical trend information. These disclosures are presented on pages 73-75 of this report.
2. Police Supplemental Pension Fund
A supplemental defined contribution pension plan exists for all eligible policemen which is funded by earmarked
� revenues received from the State and is administered by the Ciry. The revenues received from the State are allocated
among eligible police officers on the basis of days employed as Cleanivater Police Officers. These revenues, which
comprise the plan contributions, amount to $770,578 in the year ended September 30, 2002, and are obtained from an
� eighty-five one hundredths of one percent (.85)% excise tax on the gross receipts from premiums collected on casualty
insurance policies covering property within the City's corporate limits. The current year contributions represent 5.2% of
current year covered payroll. The fair value of investments at September 30, 2002, totaled $9,329,372.
�
�
�
ii
�
�
The Police Supplemental Pension Fund is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.471 through
2.480 of the Municipal Code of the City of Clearwater and Chapter 185 of Florida Statutes. Under the plan provisions, the
total monies received during each fiscal year, after payment or provision for all costs and expenses of management and
operation of the plan, are allocated to participants on the basis of the total number of shares to which each participant is
entitled. Each participant is entitled to one share in the fund for each day of senrice as a police officer of the City.
All police officers, as defined in Section 26.70(g) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clearwater, who are elected,
appointed, or employed full-time by the City are eligible to participate in the plan. There are no employee contributions
to the supplemental plan. Benefits are fully vested for a lump sum distribution after twenty years from the date of hire,
with provision for partial vesting after ten or more years under the plan. Accumulated benefits are payable in full in case
of death while employed by the City or in case of total and permanent job-related disability. Non-vested participants'
account values upon termination of employment during any fiscal year are added to the monies received during that
fiscal year for allocation to the remaining participants in the plan on the basis of total days worked.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the payroll of the covered officers' was $14,850,669; the City's total payroll
for the same period was $71,987,553.
Since the entitlement to benefits is based entirely upon the allocation of monies received by the plan to the participants'
share accounts, there is no actuarial liability on the part of either the State or the City.

City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
3. Firefighters Supplemental Pension Fund
A supplemental defined contribution pension plan exists for all eligible firemen, which is funded by earmarked revenues
received from the State and is administered by the City. The revenues received from the State are allocated among
eligible firemen on the basis of days worked during the previous year. These revenues, which comprise the plan
contributions, amounted to $594,442 in the year ended September 30, 2002, and are obtained from a one and eighty-five
one hundredths percent (1.85%) excise tax on the gross receipts from premiums collected on property insurance policies
covering property within the City's corporate limits. The contributions represent 6.79% of current year covered payroll. The
fair value of investments at September 30, 2002, totaled $8,470,023.
As the plan is described as a money purchase pension plan, whereby contributions are allocated based on the number
of days worked during the fiscal year ended September 30, and interest earnings allocated based on the beginning
balances in each participant's account, there is no actuarial liability on the part of the State or City.
The Firefighters Supplemental Pension Fund is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.441
through 2.450 of the Municipal Code of the City of Cleanivater and Chapter 175 of Florida Statutes. Eligibility requires
two years of credited calendar year service as a firefighter with concurrent participation in the Employees' Pension Plan.
There is no employee contribution to the supplemental plan, and benefits are vested for a lump sum distribution at ten
years unless there is early retirement, disability or death. Non-vested participants' account values upon termination of
employment are reallocated among the remaining participants on the basis of days worked during the previous year.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the covered payroll was $8,757,987 the City's total payroll for the same
period was $71,987,553.
4. 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan
For all management employees not covered under either of the defined benefit pension plans, the City provides pension
benefits through a 401(a) defined contribution plan. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts
contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Employees are participants from the date of employment and are fully
vested upon enrollment. The plan is totally contributory on the part of the City in an amount equal to 15% of
compensation on behalf of the City Manager and the City Attorney; 12% of compensation on behalf of the Chief of
Police; and 6% of compensation on behalf of all other management contract employees and assistant city attorneys.
The City makes bi-weekly contributions to the Trust throughout the plan year to meet its funding obligations under the
plan.
The International Ciry Management Association Retirement Corporation (ICMA-RC), the trustee for the defined annuity,
offers participants a variety of investment options.
The City's total payroll for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, was $71,987,553. The Plan members' payroll for
the same period totaled $3,458,985. The City's contribution, using the above referenced formula, totaled $247,410.
The assets of the trust, at market value, totaled $1,164,818 at September 30, 2002.
5. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section
457. The plan, available to all Ciry employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.
Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement,
death, or unforeseeable emergency.
Effective January 1, 1997, Federal legislation converted the Section 457 deferred compensation assets from City assets to
employee assets. As a result of these changes, plan assets are no longer subject to the claims of the City's general �
creditors.
The City has previously reported the assets and associated liabilities of the deferred compensation plan in the City's
financial statements as an agency fund. Effective with the change in legislation these assets are no longer City assets and
the fiduciary responsibility has been transferred to the third party plan administrator. Consequently, effective with fiscal
1997, these assets are no longer reported in the accompanying financial statements, in compliance with Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 32.

PACT. Inc.
PACT, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1978, for the purpose of financing, constructing, and operating a
performing arts center. Per a Guaranty Agreement dated May 18, 2001, the City guaranteed $1,000,0000 on a
$5,000,000 mortgage note for PACT, Inc., used to refinance a previous mortgage with a similar City guarantee. Ciry
management does not consider it probable that this guarantee will be called, and, accordingly, no amounts have yet
been accrued or othervvise recorded in the accompanying financial statements to reflect this possibility.
Contin�ent Loan Guarantee
On March 30, 1992, the City Commission approved a contingent loan guarantee of $1,000,000 on a$2,500,000 note for
the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation, Inc. The proceeds of the note were used to refinance existing foundation debt
incurred to construct a golf course on a parcel of City owned land. Subsequently, the note was refinanced with Variable
Rate Demand Revenue Bonds (Chi Chi Rodriquez Youth Foundation Project), Series 1998, on August 1, 1998.
In the event of default, the City is obligated to contribute $1,000,000 out of legally available non-ad valorem revenues.
In addition, the City has the option to retire the entire unpaid balance and assume ownership and operation of the golf
course facility. At the present time, management expects the foundation to meet all debt service payments and does not
consider it likely that the City's guarantee will be invoked.
Soil and groundwater contamination site
The City owns a property, currently used by the City Gas Division as its administrative offices and operating facility, that
has been identified as having soil and groundwater impacts in a June 1990 report prepared by a United States
Environmental Protection Agency contractor. The contamination allegedly resulted from the prio� operation of a
manufactured gas plant. Contamination assessment activities by the City were initiated during 1995 and a draft
Contamination Assessment Report was submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on
December 29,1999. On March 20, 2000, FDEP requested further assessment be undertaken. On July 25, 2000, FDEP
approved the City's proposed scope of work for additional on and off-site assessment activities. Additional field
activities were initiated in December 2000. As of this date, all additional work has been completed. The supplemental
contamination assessment results were submitted to FDEP as part of the May 2001 and July 2001 site status reports.
The cost of this additional work, including preparation and submittal of the May and July 2001 site status reports, was
approximately $39,462.
On May 16, 2002, the City received a letter from FDEP requiring additional fieldwork to better define the soil and
groundwater contamination on the site. In September 2002, Clearwater Gas met with FDEP to discuss their May 16'h
letter and the future of the gas plant site. In that meeting, it was agreed the City would install seven (7) new monitoring
wells and drill twelve (12) soil samples around the perimeter of the site. This additional work will be performed in early
2003, at an estimated cost of $70,000.
Approximately $487,500 has been recovered from City insurance policies to be applied to any required remediation.
Letter of Credit Guarantee - soil contamination sites
The City has provided a standby letter of credit in the amount of $463,040 to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP). The Letter of Credit is required by FDEP for the Ciry's approximate 41% share of the remediation
costs for three Ciry-owned petroleum contamination sites under FDEP's °Pre-approved Advance Cleanup (PAC)
program. The PAC program awards state funds to assist with remediation of petroleum contaminated sites. The City
has available funds set aside to fully fund the City's commitment of $463,040 under the PAC agreements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
Contractual Commitment - Water and Sewer Utilitv
Under the terms of a 30-year contract between the City and Pinellas County, which is effective through September 30,
2005, the City is required to purchase a minimum of 4 million gallons of water per day on an annual average basis from
the County within each calendar year, with a maximum amount of water available to the City of 10 million gallons per
day on an annual average basis. Effective October 1, 1995, the rate, which is set by the Pinellas County Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC), was $1.7902 per 1,000 gallons, including a$.60 per 1,000 gallon surcharge for
funding capital projects. On November 19, 2002, the BOCC approved the following rate increases: $1.9334 effective
January 1, 2003; $2.0881 effective October 1, 2003; $2.2969 effective October 1, 2004; $2.5266 effective October 1,
2005; and $2.7792 effective October 1, 2006. The cost of water purchased from the Counry during fiscal years 2001
and 2002 was $7,305,983 and $7,516,678, respectively.
Contractual Commitment - Parking System
Under the terms of a development agreement, the City has committed to repurchase a beach land parcel at the
appraised amount not to exceed $6,000,000, if the developer is unable to proceed with the development project by
March 2006. A contingency reserve has been established in the Parking System fund in the amount of $6,000,000 as
of September 30, 2002.
Grant Revenues
During fiscal year 2002 and prior fiscal years, the City received revenues and contributions related to grants from the
Southwest Water Management District, the State of Florida, and the federal government. These grants are for specific
purposes and are subject to review and audit by the grantor agencies. Such audits could result in requests for
reimbursement for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. Based upon prior experience, City management
believes such disallowances, if any, will not be significant.
G. Pending Litigation
In the normal course of operations the City is a defendant in various legal actions, the ultimate resolution of which is not �
expected to have a material effect on the financial statements, other than for amounts which have been reserved and
recorded as liabilities in the Central Insurance Fund.
H. Conduit debt
The Ciry has one issue of conduit debt outstanding as follows:
�- . .� n.
Original Amount Amount

Drew Gardens Refunding Bonds / Residential rental facility $ 3,425,000 $ 3,090,000 $ 3,040,000
The bonds do not constitute a debt, liability, or obligation of the City of Clearwater, the State of Florida, or any political
subdivision thereof and accordingly have not been reported in the accompanying financial statements.

Notes To Schedules Of Required Pension Supplementary Information
Annual required contributions for the Employees' Pension Fund are calculated using the Entry Age Normal with Frozen
Initial Liabiliry method. The initial unfunded actuarial accrued liability determined at July 1, 1963 is being amortized over
a 40-year period; changes made in 1979 and subsequent years which have had the effect of either increasing or
decreasing the actuarial liabiliry are being amortized over a 30-year period from their effective dates in accordance with
State law.
Annual required contributions for the Firemen's Relief and Pension Fund are based on the aggregate actuarial cost
method, under which the unfunded portion of the present value of the projected benefits is allocated over the present
value of a 6.0% per year increasing annuity for the remaining years in the 35-year funding period which begin January 1,
1972, pursuant to an agreement between the Ciry and the Plan participants. For this purpose, the unfunded actuarial
liabiliry is determined after consideration of the availabie assets at the valuation date. The increasing fixed schedule
produced by this method was established in 1988 and will be modified in the future only to the extent that a current
valuation indicates a higher required cost level, or if the resulting cost level exceeds 60% of a mill in a current year.
The actuarially determined contribution requirements for the Citys fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, are based on
actuarial valuations as of January 1, 2001. Since the City's contributions are made during its fiscal year, which
commences nine months after the date of the actuarial valuations, the Ciry, with approval of State regulatory authorities,
is following the practice of adding interest to its required contributions at the assumed rate of retum on investments for a
period of one year in the case of the Employees' Pension Fund and for nine months in the case of the Firemen's Relief
and Pension Fund.
Significant actuarial assumptions utilized in the actuarial valuations as of January 1, 2001, in the determination of the
annual required contribution are as follows:
Employees' Pension Fund
i�)
�2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
Assumed rate of return on investments of 7.0% per annum.
Projected salary increase at a rate of 5% per year, including cost-of-living adjustments of 3% and merit or
seniority increases at 2%.
Mortaliry based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortaliry Table for Males with female ages set back 6 years.
Pre-retirement withdrawals assumed to occur in accordance with standard scales of moderate turnover rates
(Scale 255) for males and heavy tumover rates (Scale 355) for females.
Pre-retirement incidence of disability assumed to occur in accordance with a standard scale of moderate disabiliry
rates (Class 1, 1952 Inter-Company); rates for females assumed to be twice that for males.
Assumed inflation rate of 3%
Firemen's Relief and Pension Fund
(1) Assumed rate of retum on investments of 5.5% compounded annually.
(2) Assumed benefits grow at annually compounded rate of 2% related to cost of living adjustments only.
(3) Mortaliry based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for both active and retired; assumed disabled
participants will e�erience mortaliry according to PBGC Tables 3& 4 for males and females, respectively.
(4) Assumed no withdrawals will occur.
(5) No active participants
(6) Assumed value of one mill of ad valorem tax will increase at rate of 5% per year.
(7) Assumed inflation rate of 3%
Significant changes affecting the presented 6-year trend information include:
(1) The actuarial valuation of the Firemen's Relief and Pension Fund as of January 1, 1999 reflected several changes
in actuarial assumptions. An investment yield of 5.5% for both pre and post retirement was assumed whereas the
prior valuation assumed 6.5%. Additionally, beneflt increases of 2.0% were assumed while the previous
assumption was 4.0%. The impact of these changes increased the unfunded actuarial accrued liabiliry by
$212,878.

City of Clearwater, Florida
Continuing Disclosure — Gas System Revenue Bonds
Series 1996A,1997A&B, and 1998
Supplementary Information
The System:
Rates, Fees and Charges
The City Commission has established a schedule of rates and charges by ordinance, which includes a
purchased gas cost adjustment provision allowing the City to pass-through to customers any increase or
decrease in the purchased price of gas. The City is not subject to regulation by any State agency in
establishing or revising its rates. Where competitive fuel sources or transportation service are available to
the customer, the City Commission has authorized the City Manger to enter into contract gas service rates
at special rates and/or conditions as required to obtain/retain the customer load. Such contract service
must meet the normal construction feasibility formula to insure profitable payback to the City. As of
September 30, 2002, contract rates applied to 664 customer accounts and impacted 27.85% of total
revenues.
The rates charged by the System through September 30, 1996 were part of the Phase I Gas Rate Case
implemented October 1, 1995, which was based on a comprehensive cost of service study pertormed by
the Utility Advisory Services Group of the international accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand, LLP (the
"Rate Study"). This Phase I implementation resulted in an extensive overhaul of the Gas System
customer rates, providing numerous classes of service and a modernized billing methodology.
The new rates, effective October 1, 1996, were designed to be industry-based and responsive to the
competitive energy challenges. The goal of the Rate Study was to establish rates which would be fair to
all classes of customers, provide funding to implement planned expansion in both existing northern
Pinellas County services area and into the newly acquired southwestern Pasco service area, and provide
an adequate growth potential in return to the City of Clearwater to further offset the ad valorem tax rates
(current impact is about .5 mills).
As the result of experiences during the first seven months of the Phase I implementation, adjustments
made to the Phase II rates were implemented October 1, 1996 and additional adjustments (Phase III) were
implemented effective October 1, 1997. The total projected impact of both new phases of the rate case is
$1.05 million or less than 7.9% of total gas sales revenues.
The rate ordinance containing the Phase II and Phase III rate changes was approved by the City
Commission on June 6, 1996.

The Ciry uses a three-tiered rate structure for water and sewer usage. The base rate includes a
minimum usage for residential and nonresidential water rates. Any usage over the minimum is
billed at one rate per 100 cubic feet up to a designated level and at a second rate for usage over
that level. For irrigation, there is a base rate, with no minimum, and a charge per 100 cubic feet of
water usage up to a designated level and a higher charge for usage over that amount. The sewer
base rate includes a minimum usage and a fixed charge per 100 cubic feet of water usage over
the basic allowance. The minimum usage and second tier usage level vary with the size of the
meters. For Fiscal Year 2002 there were no changes to the three-tiered rate structure for water or
sewer usage. Effective October 1, 2000 the basis for billing was converted from cubic feet to
gallons.

Fire Services Program
Supplementary Information
Pursuant to agreements between the City of Clearwater, the Pinellas County Fire Authority and the Pinellas
County Emergency Medical Services Authority, the City has provided fire and emergency medical services to
the respective authorities. With respect to fire services, the services are provided for the benefit of properties
located outside the corporate limits of the City, but within a designated service area. Emergency medical
services are provided for the benefit of persons residing both inside and outside the corporate limits of the
City, based on the Authority's nearest unit dispatch policy.
With respect to the Fire Services Program, a budget was prepared by Fire Department personnel covering
proposed expenditures for fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, for the Fire Department as a whole. Since
the funding for the Emergency Medical Services Program is based on the level fixed in prior years, the Fire
Services Program budget is essentially the residual obtained by deducting the approved level of funding for
the Emergency Medical Services Program from the budgeted amounts included in the total Fire Department
budget. This budget was submitted to, and duly approved by, the relevant Authority prior to the
commencement of the fiscal year. Income received from Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority and valid
program expenditures for the Fire Services Program for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 are
summarized below.

(a) The Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001, were issued October 15, 2001 in the amount
of $11,470,000. They were secured by a lien upon and a pledge of the Public Service Tax pursuant to
Section 166.231, Florida Statutes as amended. Effective October 1, 2001, the Florida Legislature
repealed the public service tax on telecommunications created per Section 166.231(9), Florida Statutes,
and created a simplified tax structure for communications services pursuant to Chapter 2000-260, Laws
of Florida. To the extent that the Public Service Tax receipts derived by the City pursuant to Section
166.231(9), Florida Statutes, is eliminated as a result of this new tax, all of the revenues received by the
City pursuant to the new Communications Services Tax shall be deemed to replace the Public Service ,
Tax receipts so eliminated. Consequently the pledged revenues include both public service taxes and
communications services taxes effective October 1, 2001.
Note: During October 2001 the City issued $11,470,000 Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001,

Honorable Mayor — Commissioner,
City Commissioners and City Manager
City of Clearwater, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Clearwater, Florida ("City") as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2002, and have issued our repo�t thereon dated January 10, 2003. 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. We did not audit the financial statements of the Clearwater powntown Development Board.
Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for the Clearwater powntown Development Board, is based on the
report of the other auditors.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and
grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of the City's
financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reoortinq
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Cit�s internal control over financial reporting in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the City's financial statements
and not to provide assurance on the intemal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal
control over financial repo�ting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial
reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur
and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over
financial reporting that we have reported to management in a separate letter dated January 10, 2003.
This report is intended solely for the information of the Mayor-Commissioner, City Commissioners, City Manager,
management, federal awarding agencies, pass-through entities, and State of Florida program officials and is not
intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

� Governments, and Non-Pcofit Organizations and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Those
standards, OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or major
, state project occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with
those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal
� determination of the City's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are
applicable to each of its major federal programs and major state projects for the year ended September 30, 2002.
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed no instances or noncompliance that are required to be reported
in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 or Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General.
Internal Control Over Compliance
— The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
� compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs and state
projects. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program or major state project in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test
� and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and Chapter 10.550,
Rules of the Auditor General.

� Our consideration of the intemal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation
� of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in
relation to a major federal program or major state project being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters
� involving the intemal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

We have audited the financial statements of the City of Clearwater, Florida (the "City"), as of and for the

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. We have issued our Independent Auditor's
Report on Compliance and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Disclosures in that report, if any,
which is dated January 10, 2003, should be considered in conjunction with this management letter.
Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
Auditor General. Those rules (Section 10.554(1)(g)1.a.) require that we address in the management
letter, if not already addressed in the auditor's reports on compliance and internal controls or schedule of
findings and questioned costs, whether or not inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, fraud and/or
violations of laws, rules, regulations and contractual provisions reported in the preceding annual financial
audit repo�t have been corrected. There were no inaccuracies, irregularities, shortages, defalcations
and/or violations of laws, rules, regulations and contractual provisions disclosed in the preceding annual
report.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)1.b.) require that we address in the management
letter, if not already addressed in the auditor's reports on compliance and internal controls or schedule of
findings and questioned costs, whether or not recommendations made in the preceding annual financial
audit report have been followed. The current status of the recommendations made in the preceding
annual financial report are included under the heading "Current Year Status of P�ior Year Comments."
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(g)2.), the scope of our audit included

the management letter, unless disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The City, located in

created and is governed is its charter, which was derived from Chapter 9710 Special Laws of Florida, as
amended. The Clearwater Redevelopment Agency- (CRA), a blended component unit of the City of
Cleanivater, Florida, was created by authority of Florida Statute Chapter 163, Part III, and the City of

in agreement with the annual financial audit report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

insights. Despite our close working relationship, we are, in fact, outsiders to the City and can therefore be �
objective in presenting to you our observations and suggestions. As stated in our accompanying report letter,
our comments relate to matters observed as by-products of our audit engagement, and are not based on a
detailed study of all aspects of the City's operations. They are offered in the hope that they will lead to a creative
exchange of ideas that will result in meaningful actions to benefit and strengthen the City. �

CURRENT YEAR COMMENTS
� MORTGAGE RECEIVABLES
Observation:
� During our testing of the Local Housing Assistance Trust Fund (SHIP) and the Rehabilitation Loan Fund (HOME
Program), we noted a significant amount of deferred payment loans receivable. Based upon the nature of these
� loans (repayment is not required for a specified period of time or untii the property is no longer owned or used by �
the borrower), there is the risk that the original mortgagee could have sold the property or could be renting the
property to another person and therefore repayment of the loan would be required.
� Recommendation:
�
�
We recommend that the City consider perfoRning periodic reviews of the deferred payment loans, including site
visits, if necessary, to ensure that the original mortagee is still listed as the property owner in the County tax
collecto�'s records and still occupies the property in acc:o�dance with the loan documents and provisions of the
Cit�s g�ant agreements. This will also help ensure the Federal and State funds are being used for allowable
costs and activities.
Management Response:
� Management concurs that the monitoring of defeRed loans is an important function and believes that it has
adequate controts currently in place, inciuding required annual insurance certification of the properties by the
mortgagee. Additionally, the State of Florida and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
� monitor the programs on a bi-annual basis, with both reviewing and issuing satisfactory reports on the Housing
Division and related loan programs during fiscal 2002. Management will review, on a cosUbenefit basis, the
recommendation to add a procedure for site visits and will implement site visits during fiscal 2003, if warranted.

CURRENT STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR COMMENTS
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
PeonleSoft
Observation:
During our review of controls related to the use of PeopleSoft, we observed the following:
�
�
• Security could be strengthened for PeopleSoft user accounts. Currently, the required minimum password
length is two characters and the forced password change parameter is not used. Additional PeopleSoft �
security parameters have not been invoked.
• A segregation of duties issue may exist within the Human Resources and Payroll depa�tments in which
one individual can perform all the functions within the PeopleSoft modules.
• The PeopleSoft audit t�ail log for changes to the production database (records; tables; database) is not �
reviewed.
• A backup PeopleSoft administrator does not exist.
• A test database does not exist for the PeopleSoft application. Database or application fixes, patches or �
modifications are made on the production data base ("on-the-fly").
• Tape backups are inadequate: daily backups are kept off-site for one day and weekly backups are kept for
one week. .,,
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City consider implementing the following procedures:
• Establishing PeopleSoft user account parameters as follows:
o Minimum of six alphanumeric characters �
o Passwords forcibly changed at an interval no greater than 60 days
o Password uniqueness set to ten
o Lockout invoked after five unsuccessful login attempts and require the system administrator to
reset.
o Conducting a review of user's access to the PeopleSoft application to ensure the individual's
security rights are commensurate with their position. �
o Auditing of the PeopleSoft audit trail by management on a consistent basis to ensure only
authorized changes are being made to the production environment.
o Identifying an individual to act as the secondary PeopleSoft administrator and provide the
necessary training so that they can provide the, required support, especially when the primary �
cannot be contacted.
o Establishing a separate test database for the PeopleSoft application. Implementing database or
application modifications directly to the production (live) environment could adversely impact �
PeopleSoft's production and potentially corrupt data. All changes to PeopleSoft should be tested
on a separate database and approved by management prior to loading the modification to the
production environment.
o Reviewing the PeopleSoft backup tape retention and rotation cycle. This review should be �
performed as part of the overall backup scheme review.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS — Continued
Management Response:
Management concurs �nnth the recommendation. We have already taken steps to address several of the specific
issues mentioned, including identifying and training a backup PeopleSoft Administrator, managing the PeopleSoft
audit trail, and making changes in the user account parameters to inGude more controls.
Other specific issues related to the PeopleSoft system are being addressed as pa�t of the planned upgrade that
the City is involved with. This upgrade from PeopleSoft version 7.5 to 8.3 will inGude the addition of a separate
Test environment for PeopieSoft, as well as the acquisition and deployment of a Storage Attached Network
(SAN) solution. This SAN solution will address the concerns raised related to cu►rent back-up procedures and
business continuity planning. It is expected that once we have deployed the SAN solution, the upgrade project
will be on track to complete within six months.
Current Status:
The PeopleSoft upgrade is in progress and will be implemented on schedule. The Storage Area Network (SAN)
has been purchased and installed and a full test environment has been created. Backup procedures have been
reviewed and improvements are in progress.
SECURITY
Observation:
We observed that network monitoring tools are not currently being used to indicate potential nefin►ork attacks.
Recommendation:
To reduce the risk of unautho�ized users gaining access to the network and/or applications, we recommend a
real-time firewall monitoring application (Intrusion Detection System) be implemented as soon as possible. it is
noted that a Cisco Security and Intrusion Detection device has been purchased, which will provide the required
network monitoring functionality. Management should ensure the IDS has paging functionality to be able to notify
the on-call network administrator of possible network attacks.
Until the network intrusion detection system becomes operational, we �ecommend the current practice of
reviewing the Pix firewall logs approximately every two weeks be increased to twice a week.
Management Response:
� Management concurs with the recommendation. While the IT Department was originally planning on purchasing
a Cisco Intrusion Detection ha�dware solution, we instead purchased GFT's software-based LanGuard IDS
solution. Additionally, we are deploying SNORT, a software-based real-time network intrusion detection system
� that can be used to notify an administrator of a potential intrusion attempt. It is expected that both of these
solutions will be ready for deployment by tlie end of April 2002.
�'
� 163
Current Stafus:
All network security improvements have been implemented and are operational.
DATA PROCESSING POLICIES
�
LJ
�
Obsenration:
Current network backup and tape retention/off-site policies do not appear to be consistent across operating �
platforms, applications or remote o�ces.
Recommendation:
We recommend a complete review of all network and operating system backup processes and the corresponding
backup tape retention/off-site storage policies be conducted to ensure the backup system is satisfactory to
prevent a loss of clata.
Leading best practices indicate that at a minimum:
�
• Daily backup tapes be maintained for a period of 14 days in a fire-proof container located away from the "
server room (off-site preferred, but optional).
• Full weekly backups be kept off-site and be rotated (kept for no less than four weeks). �
• Full monthly backups are kept for one year at an off-site location.
• Yea�ly backups should also be performed and kept off-site for any indefinite period of time.
• Backup tapes be periodically tested to ensure the data is readable. j
Management Response:
Management concurs with the recommendation. A comprehensive review of all current back-up and tape
retention off-site policies is planned and is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter 2002.
Current Status:
Backup procedures have been reviewed and improvements are in progress.
DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Observation:
�
City management has acknowledged the importance of a disaster recovery plan (DRP) and is in the process of
finalizing and approving a DRP that addresses the recovery of critical operating systems. It is critical for the City
to have a complete disaster recovery plan for all critical applications and neiwork connectivity so to ensure a �
timely and successful network recovery in case of a disaster. Without an accurate and documented recovery
plan, the City is at risk of an untimely and inaccurate system recovery, impacting production and/or the execution
of critical financial transactions. �

Recommendation:
We encou�age the staff to continue their efForts to ensure the recently documented disaster recovery plan is
complete and approved by ezecutive management.
Leading best practices state a disaster recovery plan should include (at a minimum) the following:
• Risk Assessment phase (identify and prioritize �i applications/functions)
• Definition of a"disastep' and who can declare a disaster
• Callout trees
• Documented hardware/software requirements and specifications
• Documented nefinrork and server configuration requirements and recovery process steps to restore
critical applications in a timely manner
• Responsibilities of individuals during the recovery
• Designated recovery site(s) (hot versus cold site)
• User and vendor contact numbers
• A detailed disaster recovery test plan, ou�ining what is to be tested, the expected test results, who will be
involved (IT and/or users) and the process to document and analyze the test results
• A process to periodically review the plan to ensure it is current
• Copies of the plan should be distributed to participants, stored at the off-site storage facility with the
backup tapes, and at the hot site, if used
Management Response:
Management concurs with the recommendation. The Cit�s IT Department has completed a preliminary draft of
the revised Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). It is expected that this will be finalized, approved by Senior
Management and distributed by the end of May 2002.
Current Status:
The update to the DRP has been completed and implemented.
NETWORK CONTROLS
Observation:
The IT department has implemented controls over their networlc, such as the firewall and the incorporation of
NAT to hide intemal IP addresses, as a means to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access from the'outside'. An
additional control that can be implemented to reduce the risk of an outside attack is the use of penetration
testing.
Recommendation:
We recommend full penetration tests be performed on the City's entire network at least once a year. Such
penetration tests and subsequent reports can indicate vulnerabilities of the firewall and nefinrork, the inherent
risk(s) of the wlnerability and the necessary steps to control the risk of the vulnerability.
165
Management Response:
Management concurs with the recommendation. However, at this time, budget constraints prevent annual
penetration testing. This issue will be addressed as resources allow.
Current Status:
A full network security audit, including penetration testing, was completed in August of 2002 (work pertormed by
Dyntek, inc.). The City received a favorable evaluation, and the few vulnerabilities identified have been
addressed.
SYSTEM ACCESS
Obse►vation:
The City does not currently review user access on a regular basis.
Recommendation:
We encourage a yearly review by data owners' (management) of user access to their applications, libraries and
files. A review of user access rights to data owners' �les reduces the risk of unauthorized access to data by
former employees or contractors, or individuals that have changed positions. Thus, we recommend that IS
review user security groups and security levels with the corresponding data owners for appropriateness on a
semi-annual basis.
Managemenf Response:
Review of user access to departmental applications, libraries and files is conducted on an ongoing as needed
basis. The City will evaluate the recommendation to develop bi-annual reviews.
Current Status:
After some consideration, the City does not plan to implement a bi-annual review of access since ongoing
network and system administration by IT and departmental system administrators has produced good to
excellent results to date.
CISCO ROUTER
Observation:
There is no redundancy for the MSBWAS Cisco router 3640. If this router fails, remote sites will not be able to
access the primary data center or Internet. �
Recommendation:
We recommend that if this router is deemed critical, management obtain a backup device or contract with a
service provider to guarantee the replacement of the router within a specified time period.

ESTABLISHMENT OF AN AUDIT COMMITTEE
Observation:
The City does not have an Audit Committee.
Recommendation:
Many organizations have formed audit committees of their goveming board and have found that such
committees have made a significant contribution. We strongly recommend consideration be given to establishing
such an Audit Committee of the City Commissioners.
The Commissioners have broad responsibility for the direction of the operational and business affairs of the City.
The discharge of this responsibility is accomplished through designation of administrative officers and policy
guidance given to such officers. However, the Commissioners likewise have an important responsibility for the
quality of the organization's financial reporting. The primary role of an audit committee is to plan for, evaluate
and meet with the independent auditors.
Management Response:
Consideration will be given to establishing an Audit Committee of the City Commissioners during the current
fiscal year.
Current Stafus:
Management has discussed this recommendation and decided that formation of an Audit Committee is not
necessary at the current time. The City Commission will be reviewing the status (function, success,
appropriateness) of all currently established Commission Advisory Committees at an upcoming Commission
meeting. City management will continue to review the need for an Audit Committee of the City Commissioners in
the future and will establish, if deemed necessary and appropriate.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Observation:
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements And Management's
� Discussion and Analysis For State and Local Govemments ("GASB 34") is effective for the City's fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2002. GASB 34 will require substantial changes to the City's financial statements and
accounting records.
�
�
� 167
Recommendation:
The City should begin developing a plan for implementation of GASB 34 so that changes to the City's accounting
records and budget process can be made by the required implementation date.
Management Response:
Planning for the current year implementation of GASB 34 is currently in process.
Current Status:
Representatives from various City departments have been meeting on a weekiy basis since May of 2002 to
address implementation issues and implementation will be completed for fiscal 2002.
FUND BALANCES
Observation:
The City Commission currently requires that the General Fund maintain an unreserved fund balance of a
minimum of 8% of the prior year expenditures.
Recommendafion:
We recommend that consideration be given to establishing minimum fund balance requirements for other types
of governmental funds as well.
Management Response:
The establishment of minimum fund balance requirements for governmental funds other than the General Fund
will be taken into consideration during the fiscai 2003 budget process.
Current Status:
The establishment of minimum fund balance requirements for govemmental funds other than the General Fund
was reviewed by Finance staff during the fiscal 2003 budget process and determined to be non-applicable. The
purpose of the minimum fund balance threshold in the General Fund is to ensure the financial stability of the
general government operations. The other govemmental funds maintained by the City (Special Revenue, Debt
Senrice, Capital Projects) are for specific purposes (not general operations) and either have established reserve
requirements (i.e. debt covenants for debt service funds) or are used for specific purposes upon appropriation of
available funds (i.e. Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds) that cause "minimum fund balance
requirements" to be non-applicable. Additionally, Management is unaware of other City govemments
establishing minimum fund balance levels for other than the General Fund, due to the nature of the other
governmental funds.
