March 9, 2012
To the Mayor and Members of the Board of County Commissioners, and to the Residents of Broward County:
I am pleased to forward the Broward County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2011. These financial statements have been audited by Crowe Horwath LLP, independent certified
public accountants. I am also proud to share within the pages of this report, the impact of Broward County
governments service to the community.
Broward County governments financial position remains sound and strong and its major economic engines, Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades are embarking on major projects which will add
thousands of jobs and millions of dollars to the local economy. The Countys General Obligation bonds are rated
AAA, which is the highest rating given by Fitch and Moodys.
Port Everglades has welcomed new cruise ships from Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Seabourn, Cunard and
P&O, as well as the largest cargo ships in its history. Continued growth will be assured as expansion projects to
be completed over the next six years include the addition of new berths, deepening and widening the channel,
and extending the railhead into the Port.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is in the early stages of construction for the South Runway
expansion project which will be operational by September 2014 and will increase capacity by up to 50%. The
project is expected to generate more than 11,000 jobs and at its peak in 2013, will be contribute more than $1
million per day to the local economy.
Our Adopted 2011 budget was approximately $70M lower than the 2010 budget and provided for property tax
reductions on the County portion of their tax bill for most Broward County property owners.
In January 2011, Broward County Transit implemented a new 95 EXPRESS bus route from Miramar to downtown
Miami with 200 passengers a day. In one year, ridership on the 60-foot hybrid diesel-electric Wi-Fi enabled buses
has grown to 800 daily passengers and the service will be expanded in 2012.
Public access to County government was extended through more than 50 e-newsletters, Facebook, Twitter and
YouTube sites that residents, businesses and visitors can consult to learn more about County programs and
services. In addition, County Commission meetings are streamed live on the internet and broadcast on cable
television and more than 150 videos are available on demand. More information can be obtained at
broward.org/stayconnected.
We are extremely proud of our County Parks, which comprise more than 6,500 acres and are as diverse as our
community-- from small neighborhood passive parks to water parks, a dog park, equestrian facilities, a world class
cricket facility and nature centers in virtually every corner of the County. We are pleased that we were able to
re-open all parks seven days a week.
Our libraries have a multitude of programs for students, seniors and knowledge seekers whether their preferred
medium is the written word, e-reader or anything in between. Public response to Broward County Libraries
Without Walls (WOW) has been overwhelming with use of downloadable books, audio-books and videos
increasing by more than 1000%. We were also pleased to re-open our regional libraries on Sundays.
In Fiscal Year 2011, Broward County welcomed eleven million visitors who spent more than $9 billion locally.
Tourism creates one job for every 85 visitors.
I encourage you to visit broward.org and explore the many ways in which Broward County government is committed
to excellence and providing Our Best. Nothing Less.

March 9, 2012
To the Citizens, Mayor and Members of the Board of County Commissioners of Broward County, Florida
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are pleased to present Broward County's (the County) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2011. The financial statements included in this report conform with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP) established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The County is
responsible for the accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the financial statements and other information presented
herein. The data presented in this report is believed to be accurate in all material respects, and all statements and disclosures
necessary for the reader to obtain a thorough understanding of the County's financial activities have been included.
The County's management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of accounting and other internal controls to
ensure compliance with applicable laws and County policies and that financial transactions are properly recorded and
documented to provide reliable information for the preparation of the County's financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the County'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.
This report (and particularly this transmittal letter) is intended to provide informative and relevant financial information for the
citizens of the County, Board Members, investors, creditors and other concerned readers. All are encouraged to contact the
Department of Finance and Administrative Services with any comments or questions concerning this report. This report may
also be accessed via the Internet at http://www.broward.org/Accounting
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
The County's financial statements have been audited by Crowe Horwath LLP, certified public accountants. The independent
auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the
County's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The
independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of the County is in addition to a federal and state mandated "Single Audit"
designed to meet the special needs of federal and state grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements
require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited
government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on the administration of federal
and state awards. These reports are available in the County's separately issued Single Audit Report.
In accordance with GAAP, this CAFR includes a narrative introduction from management, which provides an overview and
analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's 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 County's MD&A can be found
immediately following the report of the independent auditors. The remainder of this letter provides an overview of local
economic conditions and prospects for the future, and a report on some of the County's current and future initiatives.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The County was incorporated in I9I5 and is located along the southeastern coast of the state. With a developable area of 4I0
square miles and a population of almost I.8 million people, the County is one of the largest counties in the country. The County
is governed by its amended Charter, originally adopted in 1974, and functions as a home rule government under the Florida
Constitution and the general laws of the state.
The Board of County Commissioners (the Board) is the legislative and policy-making body of the County. Each of the nine
Commissioners is elected from a separate district. Annually, the Board elects a Mayor who serves as its presiding officer.
Elections are held every two years for staggered four year terms. The Board appoints the County Administrator to act as the
County's chief executive officer. The Administrator implements policies of the Board, provides organizational leadership, and
directs business and administrative procedures. In addition, there are four elected Constitutional Officers: the Clerk of the
Circuit and County Courts; the Property Appraiser; the Sheriff; and the Supervisor of Elections. Circuit Court and County
Court judges are also elected.
The County provides a broad range of services, including property assessments, tax collections, law enforcement and fire
Broward County, Florida - 2
rescue protection, maintenance of streets, highways, bridges and traffic signals, parks, libraries, airports, a seaport, a convention
center, water and sewer systems, transportation, environmental protection, urban planning, economic development, and other
community and human services. Certain legally separate entities are also included as an integral part of the County's financial
statements as explained in Note I to the financial statements.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the County's financial planning and control systems. Management's budget
request is presented to the Board by the County Administrator. The Board holds public hearings on the proposed budget prior
to adopting the final budget and setting the tax rates for the budget year. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this
report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. These comparisons
are presented in the required supplementary information and other supplementary information sections of the financial
statements.
THE BROWARD COUNTY
ECONOMY IN 2011
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader
perspective of the environment within which the County operates. The County enjoys a diverse economic base thanks to a
vibrant tourism industry, an active construction industry, highly efficient and productive airport and seaport facilities, and other
dynamic industry sectors. There are approximately 50,000 businesses established in Broward County. Although many of these
are classified as small businesses, approximately I00 Fortune 500 companies have facilities in Broward County.
During fiscal year 2011, the Civilian Labor Force within

the County fell by approximately 2,630 or .2% from the
last year. The County's unemployment rate at September
30, 2011 was 9.3%, compared with the rate of 10.6% at
September 30, 2010. In comparison, the unemployment
rates for Florida and the United States were 10.6% and
9.0%, respectively at September 30, 2011. The Countys
population growth has slowed but not stopped, and
property values have declined in line with national
economic trends, which have negatively impacted the
construction and real estate markets.
Tourism and the related service industries are an important economic factor in the County, employing more than 122
thousand people in travel related jobs. For every 85 visitors, one job is created. The combination of a favorable climate (an
average year-round temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit), together with diverse recreational opportunities, including theaters,
parks, pristine public beaches, yacht basins, fishing, golf, tennis, thoroughbred racing, jai alai, and water recreational facilities,
have made the County a major tourist center. Tourists visit the County year round from around the country and the world. In
2011, over 11 million visitors spent approximately $9 billion in the local economy.
Building permits for residential construction, a measure of future construction activity, increased from 940 units in 2010 to
1,622 in 2011. The County is maturing as an urban area, and little undeveloped property remains available. Re-development
will be a primary focus of Broward County in the years ahead, but future population growth and new development may depend
on national economic recovery trends and employment opportunities.
The net assessed value of real and personal property

declined for fiscal 2011 by (14.5%). The resulting decline in
property tax revenues will result in significant budget
challenges for general County services. Although significant
capital improvements are underway at the Airport and
Port Everglades and within the Water and Wastewater
System, these capital investments are generally funded by
revenue bonds and federal grants.

Interest rates declined again during the year, reducing

the return on the County's cash and investments. In
order to maximize interest earnings, substantially all of
the County's cash and investments are pooled, except
where legal requirements dictate separate accounts. The
County consistently invests more than 99% of its
available funds and exceeds the 90 day U. S. Treasury bill
rates, which the County uses as a performance
benchmark. The primary objective of the County's
investment policy is preservation of capital. The
County's investment portfolio is rated AAf/SI+ by
Standard & Poor's.
The County is self-insured for general liability, professional, automobile, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, and
Mass Transit bus liability through its Self-Insurance Fund. The County has substantially funded these liabilities with assets
accumulated in this fund of $130.2 million at September 30, 2011. The County also maintains a healthy General Fund balance in
order to meet unanticipated needs or emergencies, such as from the annual threat of hurricanes, which were active in 20042005.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
As stated in the County's Mission Statement, The business of Broward County is to deliver cost-effective and collaborative services to
enhance and promote the quality of life for our residents, business and visitors. The Broward County Commission set forth a number
of goals in support of this mission, and some of the achievements during the year are detailed below.
Efficient and Accessible Regional Intermodal Transportation Network
Instituted 95 Express bus service from Miramar to downtown Miami with 200 passengers per day ridership which has
grown to 800 passengers per day on this Wi-Fi enabled 60-ft articulated hybrid diesel-electric bus.
Obtained more than $16 million in grant funding for the construction and improvement of bus shelters, security and
energy efficiency.
A Community with Accessible, Vibrant Arts and Culture, Recreation and Learning Opportunities
Although the County's Library system increased its reach through the latest available technology, there were more than 9
million walk-in visits during the year, and 535,000 patrons who participated in more than17,000 programs which range
from tutoring, test preparation, sharpening language skills, resume assistance and many more. The Broward County
Library's Without Walls (WOW) programs have made library resources available on computer, e-reader and
smartphones, and usage of downloadable books, audio-books and videos has increased by more than 1,000 percent in the
past year.
A bike-sharing program, managed and operated by B-cycle, LLC, was introduced as a means of providing an inexpensive,
environmentally friendly way to get around town while reducing traffic congestion and promoting physical fitness.
Social Safety Net: An Accessible Collaborative Approach to Health and Human Services
The Community Partnership Division launched an online grant solicitation process which encourages collaborative
application and provides greater capacity for services.
County programs assisted more than 1,300 elderly and veterans in obtaining more than $4 million of approved claims.
The Broward County Commission passed an ordinance regulating licensing and location of "pill mills".
In conjunction with state and federal grants, 7,300 HIV/AIDS clients were assisted and $1.2 million was provided for
intervention services for victims of child abuse, neglect and sexual assault.
A Pristine, Healthy Environment
Environmental considerations are an integral part of all of the County's initiatives - from hybrid buses that reduce
pollution, traffic synchronization which reduces our citizens energy usage, bike sharing reducing traffic congestion, library
programs usage of technology, new facilities incorporating Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design(LEED), rebate
programs for energy efficient appliances and water conservation fixtures.
Unlimited Economic Opportunities
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development awarded more than $72 million to certified firms and continued
its efforts to reach out to targeted industries worldwide to expand and relocate to Broward County.
Port Everglades (the Port) has welcomed new cruise ships from five cruise lines as well as the largest cargo ships in its
history. Major improvements over the next six years include widening and deepening the channel and bringing a railhead
into the Port. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (the Airport) is in the early stages of the South Runway
expansion which will increase capacity by 50%, and additional capital projects to improve the traveling experience for our

Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to
us, and our opinions, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for the activities, component units,
and funds indicated above, are based on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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 reports of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
previously present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County, as of September 30, 2011, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows 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 financial statements, the County restated beginning fund balances to correct
the classification of certain funds that were improperly classified as special revenue funds in its previously
issued financial statements.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 9, 2012
on our consideration of the Countys internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of
our audit.
The managements discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and schedule of funding
progress on pages 12 through 17, 62 through 65, and 66, respectively, are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We and the other auditors have applied certain limited
procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
measurement and presentation of the required 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 Countys basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules, supplemental financial schedules and statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and supplemental financial
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied by us and the other auditors in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other
auditors, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied by us and the other auditors in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on them.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

September 30, 2011
The management of Broward County offers this narrative overview
and analysis of the financial activities of the County for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2011. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with the
additional information that we have furnished in our Letter of
Transmittal.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following are key financial highlights for the fiscal year:
The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at September

30, 2011 by $ 4.8 billion (net assets). Of this amount, $836
million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
governments ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The Countys total net assets increased by $52 million: $77
million from business-type activities which was partially offset
by a $25 million decrease in net assets of governmental
activities.
As of September 30, 2011, the Countys governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $1.3 billion, a
decrease of $76 million from the prior year.
At September 30, 2011, unassigned fund balance for the
General Fund was $102 million, or 9.8% percent of total
general fund expenditures and transfers out.
The Countys total bonded debt decreased by $135 million or
5.9% percent during the fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction
to the Countys basic financial statements. The Countys basic
financial statements contain three components: government-wide
financial statements; fund financial statements; and notes to the
financial statements. This report also contains supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of Broward Countys finances, in a
manner similar to a private sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of Broward
Countys 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 of whether the financial
position of Broward County is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the
Countys net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All
changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the
related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in
this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future
fiscal periods.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish

functions of the County that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of
their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities).
The governmental activities of the County include general
government, public safety, transportation, human services, culture
and recreation, physical environment, and economic environment.
The business-type activities of the County include water and
wastewater, resource recovery, aviation, and a seaport.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the
County itself, but also the Housing Finance Authority, the Health
Facilities Authority, and the Clerk of the Courts, legally separate
entities for which the County is financially accountable. Financial
information for these component units is reported separately from
the financial information presented for the primary government
itself. The government-wide financial statements can be found on
pages 19 and 20 of this report.
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 County, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance related legal requirements. All of the
funds of the County can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds; proprietary funds; and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for
essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on near term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating a governments near term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of
the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare
the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may
better understand the long-term impact of the governments near
term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet
and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures
and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate
this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
Broward County maintains 24 individual governmental funds.
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund
balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General Fund,
the Sheriff Contractual Services Fund, the Transportation Capital
Projects Fund, and the Capital Outlay Reserve Fund, which are
Broward County, Florida 12
considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental

funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds
is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the

proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the
internal service funds and the non-major enterprise funds is
provided in the form of combining statements in the Other
Supplementary Information section of this report.
The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General

Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for
the General Fund and the major special revenue fund to
demonstrate compliance with these budgets.
Fiduciary funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources

held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary
funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement
because resources of those funds are not available to support the
Countys own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds.
Proprietary funds The County maintains two different types of

proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in the governmentwide financial statements. The County uses enterprise funds to
account for its water and wastewater, resource recovery, aviation
and seaport operations. Internal service funds are an accounting
device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
Countys various functions. The County uses internal service funds
to account for its self-insurance, vehicle fleet, and print shop
operations. Because these services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been
included within governmental activities 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 four proprietary operations, all of which are considered to be
major funds of the County. Conversely, the three internal service
Notes to the Financial Statements

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and
fund financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying
notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary
information containing budget to actual comparisons for the
general and major special revenue funds. The combining statements
referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental
funds, nonmajor enterprise funds, internal service funds and
fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required
supplementary information.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a governments financial position. In the case of the County,
assets exceeded liabilities by $4.8 billion as of September 30, 2011.

Millions-
The largest portion of the Countys net assets reflects its investment
in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment) less
any related debt used to acquire those assets still outstanding.
These capital assets are used to provide services to citizens;
consequently these assets are not available for future spending. It
should also be noted that the resources required to repay the
related debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

An additional portion of the Countys net assets represents

resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may
be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets may be
used to meet the Countys ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors. As of September 30, 2011 the County reports 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.

Governmental and Business-type Activities

The Countys governmental activities had net expenses of $973
million before general revenues. However, these services are
funded primarily from general taxes and other general revenues,
which reduced net expenses to $23 million before transfers. Key
elements of this decrease are as follows: Charges for services
revenues decreased by 1%, and Operating and Capital Grants
revenues decreased by 6% and 13% respectively. Also, Property
tax revenues decreased by 10.5% as unemployment remained
high, credit remained tight, foreclosures continued to be high and
property values fell.
The Countys business-type activities had net revenue of $70
million and increased net assets by $77 million, with all major
operations reporting net revenues for the year except Resource
Recovery System.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENTS FUNDS
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to insure and

demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the Countys governmental funds is to provide
information on near term inflows, outflows, and balances of
spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
Countys financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund

balance may serve as a useful measure of a governments net

resources available for spending at the end of its fiscal year.
At September 30, 2011, the Countys governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $1,302 million, a decrease of $76
million from the prior year. This decrease resulted from the
decrease of the Capital Outlay Reserve of $44 million, which is
primarily due to the fact that property taxes and interest revenues
decreased and the expenditures of various capital improvement
projects were funded by prior year fund balance, and a general
decrease in the fund balance of Other Governmental Funds.
Approximately 1% ($11 million) of the combined fund balance is

nonspendable, 45% ($583 million) is restricted, 33% ($435 million)
is Committed, 13% ($174 million) is Assigned and 8% ($99 million)
is unassigned and available for spending at the government's
discretion.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the County. At
September 30, 2011, the unassigned fund balance of the General
Fund was $102 million and the total fund balance was $357 million.
As a measure of the General Funds liquidity, the total fund balance
represents approximately 34% percent of total General Fund
expenditures and transfers out.
Proprietary Funds
The Countys proprietary funds provide the same type of
information found in the government-wide financial statements for
business-type activities, but in more detail.
Aviation operating revenues decreased $3.9 million or 2.1%.
Unrestricted net assets of the Aviation Department were $66
million at September 30, 2011.
Port Everglades operating revenues increased $14.5 million or
approximately 11.7% due primarily to cruise revenues.
Unrestricted net assets of the Port Everglades Fund were $210
million at September 30, 2011.
Water and Wastewater System operating revenues increased $4.4
million or 4.1% due to general growth in system usage and to rate
increases. Unrestricted net assets of the Water and Wastewater
System were $34 million at September 30, 2011.
Resource Recovery System operating revenues decreased by $5.8
million or 5.6% due primarily to lower tipping fees. Unrestricted
net assets of the Resource Recovery System were $46 million at
September 30, 2011.
BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Budget and actual comparison schedules are provided in Required
Supplementary Information for the General Fund and all major
special revenue funds. Budget and actual comparison schedules are
also provided in the Combining and Individual Fund Statements and
Schedules for all nonmajor funds with annually appropriated
budgets. The budget and actual comparison schedules show the
original adopted budgets, the final revised budget, actual results,
and variance between the final budget and actual results for the
General Fund and major special revenue funds. After the original
budget is approved, it may be revised for a variety of reasons such
as unforeseen circumstances, new bond or loan proceeds, new
grant awards, or other unanticipated revenues.
Differences between the original budget and the final amended
budget for the General Fund were relatively minor and can be
summarized as follows:
Revenue increased $6.5 million or .6% primarily due to
increases in Fines and Forfeitures.
Expenditures were increased $88.9 million or 8.4% due
primarily to increases in Property Appraiser, Sheriff and Public
Works.
Operating transfers in were increased $7.3 million or 11.2%

Operating transfers out were increased $2.7 million or 10.6%
due to increased expected transfers to other funds.
General Fund actual total revenues were $1.007 billion or 100.6%
of the final budget amount. Total expenditures of $1.02 billion
were 89% of the final budget as several functional areas were under
budget due to reductions of general spending. Net transfers in
were $47.4 million or 107% of the budget. Revenues exceeded
expenditures and transfers, resulting in an increase in the General
Fund balance of $31.8 million, which compared to a budgeted
decrease of $100 million.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The Countys investment in capital assets for its governmental and
business-type activities as of September 30, 2011 amounted to $5
billion (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital
assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and
equipment, parks, roads, highways, and bridges. The total increase
in the Countys investment in capital assets for the current fiscal
year was 1.9%.
Major capital asset events during the fiscal year included the
following:
Road improvement of Pine Island Road from Oakland Park

Boulevard to Commercial Boulevard ($1.5 million)
Road improvement of NW 21 Avenue from NW 19th Street
to Oakland Park Boulevard ($1.6 million)
Improvements to the Countys parks system ($1.2 million)
Completion of the Central County Neighborhood
Improvement Program for improvements to roadways, water,
sewer, drainage, sidewalks, and landscaping ($63 million)

Long-Term Debt
At September 30, 2011, the County had total bonded debt
outstanding of $2.2 billion, a 5.9% decrease from the prior year. Of
this amount, $356 million comprises debt backed by the full faith
and credit of the government,$375 million is special obligation debt
secured by dedicated revenue sources, $30 million is loans payable
and other obligations, and $1.4 billion is secured solely by specified
revenue sources (i.e. revenue bonds).

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION
This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of
the Countys finances for all those with an interest in the
governments finances. Questions concerning any of the
information provided in this report or requests for additional
information should be addressed to:
The Countys outstanding bonded indebtedness decreased by $135

million during the year. The County continues to meet its financial
needs through prudent use of its revenues and creative debt
financing programs. The Countys financial strength and sound
financial management practices are reflected in its general
obligation bond investment ratings, which are among the highest
levels attained by Florida counties:
Aaa Moodys Investor Services
AA+ Standard & Poors Corporation
AAA Fitch IBCA, Inc.
The Countys required Annual Disclosure Statement may be found
on line at www.broward.org/finance. This disclosure report details
and updates certain statistics and financial performance which form
the basis for the security for the Countys indebtedness. Additional
information on the Countys long-term debt can be found in Note
4 to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEARS BUDGETS
AND RATES
Local, national and international economic factors influence the
Countys revenues. Positive economic growth is correlated with
increased revenues from property taxes, sales taxes, charges for
services, as well as state and federal grants. Economic growth in
the local economy may be measured by a variety of indicators such
as employment growth, unemployment, new construction, assessed
valuation, and Enterprise Fund revenues.
The unemployment rate for the County at the end of

September was 9.3%, lower than the rate for the State of
Florida (10.6%) and higher than that of the nation (9.0%).
Tourist visitors during 2011 were 11 million, a new record

and an increase of 700,000 compared with 2010
Net assessed value of real and personal property within the

County decreased 11.1%.
Inflation in the region remains at a relatively low level.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the Countys

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT

OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND

(In Thousands)
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Changes in fund balance for inventory and prepaids
(76,065)
44
(76,021)
Total change in net assets reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities is different
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities,
the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense. In the statement of activities, the loss on disposed capital assets is reported.
144,681
Expenditures for capital assets

Current year depreciation
Loss on disposition of assets
(135,015)
(1,477)
8,189
Some of the revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are
not reported as revenues in the governmental funds.
(752)
Bond and loan proceeds provide current financing resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. Repayment of principal is an expenditure
in the governmental funds but reduces the long-term liability in the statement of net assets.
54,770
Principal payment
Governmental funds report bond and loan issuance costs as expenditures. However, these amounts
are reported on the statement of net assets as deferred charges and amortized over the life of the
debt.

(525)

Governmental funds report operating leases as expenditures. However, these amounts are reported
on the statement of net assets as prepaid expenses and amortized over the life of the lease.
(45)
Amortization of prepaid rent

Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of financial resources
and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. These expenses are:
Change in compensated absences
Change in postemployment benefits other than pension
Change in accrued interest payable
Change in arbitrage rebate payable
Amortization of debt discount and premium
Amortization of refunding difference

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Reporting Entity
Broward County, Florida (County) is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. It is guided by an elected Board of
County Commissioners, which is governed by the Florida Statutes and a local County Charter. In addition there are
four elected Constitutional Officers: the Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts (Clerk); Property Appraiser; Sheriff;
and Supervisor of Elections. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), Property Appraiser, Sheriff, and
Supervisor of Elections comprise the Broward County primary government.
The accompanying financial statements present the County (the primary government) and its component units.
Component units are entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended
component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the Countys operations. Discretely
presented component units are reported in a separate column in the government-wide financial statements (see note
below for description) to emphasize that they are legally separate from the County.
Blended Component Units
Water Control Districts are special taxing districts created to maintain and improve water resource and drainage
programs in the County and are governed by a board comprised of the BOCC. The financial results of the four
individual Water Control Districts (District No. 2, District No. 3, District No. 4 and Cocomar) are combined into
one Special Revenue Fund to facilitate presentation.
The legal authority by which each of the following Water Districts was created and the financial statement
requirements for them are as follows:
Broward County Water Control District No. 2 Section 298.01, F.S.; County Ord. No.79-93. The governing body is the Board of County Commissioners. Separate
financial statements are not required or prepared.
Broward County Water Control District No. 3 Section 298.01, F.S.; County Ref. 4/15/69. The governing body is the Board of County Commissioners. Separate
Broward County Water Control District No. 4 Section 298.01, F.S.; County Ref. 3/29/66. The governing body is the Board of County Commissioners. Separate
Cocomar Water Control District
Section 125.01(5) (a), F.S.; County Ord. No. 80-17. The governing body is the Board of County Commissioners.
Separate financial statements are not required or prepared.
The following organizations are also shown as blended component units:
The Broward County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) acts in an advisory capacity to the County
to establish and carry out redevelopment objectives in economically deprived areas of the County. It was established
by Florida Statute Section 163.356 and County Ordinance No. 80-110. The governing body is the BOCC. The agency
conducted no financial transactions during the year and has no assets, liabilities or fund balance.
The Broward County Educational Facilities Authority (EFA) acts in an advisory capacity to the County in
alleviating the shortage of educational facilities and projects in the County. It was established by Florida Statute
Section 243.021 and County Ordinance No. 86-15. The BOCC appoints the governing body. The authority
conducted no financial transactions during the year and has no assets, liabilities or fund balance.
The Broward County Governmental Leasing Corporation (Corporation) has entered into master leasepurchase agreements with the County to finance the acquisition, construction or equipping of certain facilities and is
governed by the BOCC. The Corporation was formed by the County solely for the purpose of acting as lessor of the
facilities. The Corporation has no financial activity to report.
Discretely Presented Component Units

The Clerk of Circuit and County Courts (Clerk) is an elected, Constitutional Office of the County and has separate
legal standing from the County. The governing body of the Clerk is not the same as the governing body of the
County. The Clerk provides services to the courts and receives most of its revenues from those who are utilizing
court services and processes. The Clerk is included as a component unit because its exclusion from the financial
reporting entity could render the Countys financial statements misleading.
The Broward County Health Facilities Authority (HeFA) was created to assist in the acquisition, construction,
financing and refinancing of health facilities in the County. It was established by Florida Statute Section 154.207 and
County Ordinance No. 77-35. The HeFA is governed by a Board appointed by the BOCC and is financially
accountable to the County. The HeFA is authorized to issue bonds which are not deemed to constitute a debt of
HeFA, the County, or any political sub-division thereof (see Note 4).
The Broward County Housing Finance Authority (HFA) was established in 1979 by County Ordinance No. 79-41 for
the purpose of encouraging the investment of private capital and stimulating the construction of residential housing
for low and moderate income families through the use of public financing. The HFA is governed by a Board appointed
by the BOCC, and the County must also approve HFAs contracts and bond issues. The HFA is authorized to issue
revenue bonds that are not deemed to constitute a debt of HFA, the County, or any political sub-division thereof (see
Note 4).
The HFA has a note payable to the County which is secured by an office building. The principal balance of the note
was $455,000 on September 30, 2011.The note is due in full on or before July 1, 2015 and bears interest at 4 percent.
Complete financial statements for each of the individual discretely presented component units that issue them may be

B. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government (the County) and its component units. For
the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is
reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by
program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational
or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for the Countys funds, including governmental funds, proprietary funds,
and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Separate
statements for each fund category are presented. The emphasis of the fund financial statements is on major
governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and
enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
The County reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund This is the Countys primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Sheriff Contractual Services Fund This fund accounts for all financial resources relating to services provided by the
Sheriffs Office for law enforcement services, and emergency medical and fire protection services to the Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, unincorporated areas, and a number of municipalities
through police services contracts.
Transportation Capital Projects Fund This fund accounts for transportation construction and maintenance capital
projects funded by state and local gas taxes, developer contributions, and payments from other government agencies.
Capital Outlay Reserve Fund This fund accounts for special capital outlay projects not routine in nature and not
considered ordinary operating expenditures.
The County reports the following major enterprise funds:
Aviation Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and North
Perry Airports.
Port Everglades Fund This fund accounts for the operation, maintenance, and construction of the Countys seaport
system.
Water and Wastewater Fund This fund accounts for water and sewerage treatment services provided to certain
incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County.
Resource Recovery Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the Countys Resource Recovery System and other
solid waste activities.
The County also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds These funds account for self-insurance coverage for workers compensation claims, public
liability, medical malpractice, and County-owned vehicle accidents, for consolidated vehicle management services, and
for printing services, all of which are provided to other County functions on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Agency Funds These funds account for taxes and licenses collected on behalf of the County and other taxing entities,
funds received and disbursed by the Sheriffs Office in a fiduciary capacity, and various other funds and fees received
and disbursed in a fiduciary capacity.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting
Government-wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements The government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of
when the related cash flows take place. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements 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. The County considers revenues
to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period except for grants which
are collected within six months. Intergovernmental revenues, property taxes and interest are significant revenue
sources considered to be susceptible to accrual in the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded
when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences claims and judgments and postemployment benefits other than pensions, are
recorded only when payment is due.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are
followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards
do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. While governments
have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities, the County has
elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements 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 funds principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the Countys enterprise funds and of the internal service funds are charges to customers for the purchase
or use of the proprietary funds principal products or services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal
service funds include the cost of sales of goods and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements Agency funds report only assets and liabilities, have no measurement focus, and
use the accrual basis of accounting.
D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Fund Balances
1. Deposits and Investments
The County maintains an investment pool for substantially all cash and cash equivalents and investments of all
funds. All money market investments and participating interest-earning investment contracts with a remaining
maturity at time of purchase of ninety days or less are recorded at amortized cost plus accrued interest. All other
investments are carried at fair value as determined from quoted market prices. Each funds portion of the pool is
presented as cash and cash equivalents, investments or restricted assets as appropriate. Earnings are
allocated to each fund based on average daily balances of cash and investments.
The County considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash on hand, demand deposits, investments and equity in
the Countys cash management pool with original maturities at time of purchase of three months or less.
The County is authorized to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities,
commercial paper, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, the State Board of Administration Investment
Pool - an SEC Rule 2a-7 like fund which has the characteristics of a Money Market Fund, and the Florida Local
Government Investment Trust. All cash deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State of
Florida Statutes, Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, and are collateralized with eligible
securities having a market value equal or greater than the average daily or monthly balance of all public deposits.
The Countys investment practices are governed by Chapters 125 and 218.415 of the Florida Statutes, County
Ordinance 87-82, and the requirements of outstanding bond issues.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that represent lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are referred to as due to/from other County 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 property tax receivables are shown net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts of $81,928,000.
2. (a) Disaggregation of Receivables and Payables Balances

Receivables
Receivables in the General Fund consist of: 59% percent liens receivable, the majority of which are not expected to be
collected within one year; 10% vendor receivables; 23% tourist development taxes receivable from hotels and motels;
and 8% loans receivable from the Museum of Art, none of which are scheduled to be collected in the subsequent
year. Receivables in the Special Revenue Funds consist of 78% local housing assistance receivables, which are
principally long term notes receivable, none of which are scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year and 22%
Sheriff Contractual Services receivables. Receivables in the Enterprise Funds are 74% due from customers and 26%
due from haulers which deliver to the resource recovery plants.
Payables
Accounts payable balances in each fund are 100 percent payable to vendors.
3. Due from Other Governments
Sheriff Contractual Services Fund includes $1,072,000 due from the City of Lauderdale Lakes. The total due from the
City of Lauderdale Lakes is $9,120,000 less an allowance of $8,048,000.
4. Property Tax Calendar
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1. Taxes are levied and are due and payable on
November 1 of each year and may be paid upon receipt of the notice at declining discounts through the month of
February. All unpaid taxes on real and personal property become delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year
in which the taxes were levied. Delinquent real property taxes bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent
per month, and interest continues to accrue until a certificate is sold at auction, from which time the interest rate
shall be as bid by the buyer of the certificate. Personal property taxes bear interest at one and one-half percent per
month from April 1 until paid. After May 1 of each year and following proper procedures, a court order may be
issued to seize and sell the property.
5. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories consist principally of materials and supplies held for consumption and are recorded at cost for
Governmental Funds and at the lower of average cost or market for Proprietary Funds. In the Governmental Funds
the cost of inventories is recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase, while in the other funds, the cost of
inventories is recorded as expenditures when consumed. In the Governmental Funds, reported inventories are
classified as Nonspendable fund balances. Payments for prepaid items are reported as expenditures in the
Governmental Funds and are capitalized and reflected as prepaid expenses in the government-wide financial
statements.
6. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets and reserves of the Enterprise Funds at September 30, 2011 represent amounts restricted for
construction, debt service, maintenance and improvements under the terms of outstanding bond agreements or some
other legal outside party requirements. These requirements establish a restriction on net assets in an amount equal to
the restricted assets less any related liabilities.

7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks and
similar items), including those assets acquired prior to fiscal year ended September 30, 1980, are reported at cost or
estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. The
capitalization levels are $1,000 for equipment and $5,000 for land, buildings and infrastructure. The cost 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 business-type activities during fiscal 2011 was
$72,829,000. Of this amount, $2,547,000 was included as part of the cost of capital assets under construction in
connection with various construction projects.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings, structures, and improvements
Runways, aprons, taxiways, and navigation easements
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment
Roads and streets
Bridges
Sidewalks and traffic signals
Lakes, waterways, and water control structures

8. Compensated Absences
It is the Countys policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave and related
fringe benefits. The cost of earned but unused vacation pay is accrued when earned in the government-wide and
proprietary financial statements. A liability for earned but unused sick leave is accrued only to the extent that the
leave will result in cash payments at termination. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only
if they have matured, due to employee retirement or resignation.
9. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide and proprietary fund type financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary
fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, deferral amounts on refundings as well as issuance
costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount and deferral amounts on refundings. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, deferral amounts
on refundings, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issues are
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.
10. Fund Balance Classification Policies and Procedures

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based on the extent to which
the County is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use when expenditures are incurred, it is the County's
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. When unrestricted resources are
to be used, the committed amounts are used first, followed by assigned then unassigned.
Fund balances are classified as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Nonspendable amounts cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form (e.g., inventories, prepaid and longterm loans and notes receivable) or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted amounts are restricted to specific purposes due to the constraints imposed externally by creditors, grantors,
contributors, laws or regulations of other governments or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
Committed amounts can be used for specific purposes pursuant to the constraints imposed by formal actions (e.g.,
ordinance and resolution) of the County Commission, the Countys highest level of decision making authority. Amounts
specifically committed for use in satisfying contractual obligations are also included in this classification.
Assigned amounts are constrained by the Countys intent to be used for specific purposes. Intent should be expressed
by the County Commission or its designee. The Administrative Code identifies the Office of Management and Budget as
the responsible agency for all activities relating to the allocation of County resources. Also included are all remaining
amounts (except for negative balances) reported in Debt Service, Capital Project and Special Revenue Funds that are not
classified as nonspendable and neither restricted nor committed.
Unassigned residual amount reported in General Fund and negative residual amount in Debt Service, Capital Project
and Special Revenue Funds.

E. Passenger Facility Charges

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized the Aviation Department to impose a Passenger Facility Charge
(PFC) of $3 per departing passenger commencing January 1, 1995. This authorization was amended to increase the charge
to $4.50 per departing passenger effective October 1, 2005.
Through initial and subsequent FAA approvals, the Aviation Department is authorized to collect PFCs up to
$1,876,458,000 including interest, of which $531,342,000 has been collected as of September 30, 2011. The net receipts
from PFCs are non-refundable and restricted to be used on FAA approved capital projects and debt service on
revenue bonds that fund approved PFC eligible projects. As of September 30, 2011, $430,929,000 of the collected PFCs
had been spent on approved projects or debt service, and the remaining $100,413,000 of cash along with a receivable of
$3,014,000 is reflected as a restricted asset and a restriction of net assets.

G. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations

B. Deposits
The County maintains a pool for substantially all cash and cash equivalents and investments. These balances are
reflected in the financial statements as cash and cash equivalents, investments, or restricted assets as
appropriate. Earnings are allocated monthly to each fund based on average daily balances of cash and investments.
All cash deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State Statutes. Under the Statutes, all qualified
public depositories are required to pledge eligible collateral having a market value equal to or greater than the
average daily or monthly balance of all public deposits times the depositories collateral pledging level. The pledging
level may range from 50% to 125% depending upon the depositories financial condition and establishment period. All
collateral must be deposited with an approved financial institution. Any potential losses to public depositors are
covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral, and, if necessary, assessments against
other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default.
C. Investments
The County has a formal investment policy that, in the opinion of management, is designed to insure conformity with
State Statutes and seeks to limit exposure to investment risks. The investment policy specifies the types, issuer, and
maturity of investment securities which are permissible, as well as performance measurement criteria. Securities are
held to maturity with limited exceptions outlined in the investment policy. Qualified institutions utilized for
investment transactions are also addressed within the policy, as well as diversification requirements for the
investment portfolio. In 2007, the County was the first county portfolio in the state to receive the highest possible
rating from Standard & Poors (AAAf/S1+), based on credit quality, risk and stability. In August 2011, Standard &
Poor's downgraded the US Government's credit rating to AA+ from AAA. This resulted in the county's rating being
lowered to AAf/S1+ due to the high concentration and duration of US Government securities in the portfolio.

any agency or authority of the state, if such obligations are rated, must be rated in one of the two highest rating
categories by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies. Commercial paper not rated must be backed by a
letter of credit or line of credit rated in one of the two highest rating categories. Any investments in World Bank
Notes, Bonds and Discount Notes must be rated AAA or equivalent by Moodys Investor Service and/or Standard
and Poors Corporation.
The Countys investments in U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Agencies are rated AA+ by Standard & Poors and AAA by Fitch
Ratings, and Aaa by Moodys Investor Services. The Countys investments in commercial paper are rated P-1 by
Moodys Investor Services and A-1 or higher by Standard & Poors. The Countys investments in Money Market
Mutual Funds are rated AAAm by Standard & Poors.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The County places no limit on the amount that may be invested in securities of the U. S.
Government and Agencies thereof, or government sponsored corporate securities. The County requires that all
other investments be diversified with no more than 5% of the value of the portfolio invested in the securities of any
single issuer. GASB 40 requires disclosure of investments constituting 5% or more in any one issuer. The investments
which exceed the 5% threshold are: the Federal Home Loan Bank (24.0%), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage

remaining excess funds are used to meet the requirements in the following fiscal year. These excess funds have been

First Florida Governmental Financing Commission Loans Payable

The First Florida Governmental Financing Commission (Commission) was created pursuant to the Florida Interlocal
Cooperation Act of 1969, Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, as amended. The current members of the Commission
are: Broward County, Florida; City of Hollywood, Florida; City of Boca Raton, Florida; City of Gainesville, Florida;
City of Clearwater, Florida; City of Sarasota, Florida and the City of St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Commission is a separate legal entity and public body permitted to authorize, issue and sell bonds for the
purpose of financing or refinancing any capital projects for its members. The Commissions stated purpose is to
enable its participating members to benefit from the economies of scale associated with large financings.
The proceeds of the Commissions bonds are used to fund loans to the participating members. The repayment terms
of the loan agreements are designed to provide for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds when due.
It is the Bond Counsels opinion that each member of the Commission is liable only to the extent of the payments on
its loan agreement. At September 30, 2011, the County had loans payable to the Commission totaling $20,000,000.
The loans are included in Loans Payable and Other Obligations of Governmental Activities in the schedule of changes
in long-term obligations and are due in annual installments through 2028. Interest on these loans is at fixed rates
ranging from 3.6% to 8.0% payable semi-annually.
Obligation under Lease Purchase Agreements - Certificates of Participation
The County has entered into Master Lease-Purchase Agreements (Lease Agreements) with the Broward County
Commission Governmental Leasing Corporation (Corporation), a single purpose not-for-profit Florida Corporation,
to finance the acquisition, construction and or equipping of certain facilities. The Corporation was formed by the
County solely for the purpose of acting as lessor of the facilities, with the County as lessee. The County
Commissioners serve as the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation has title to the facilities subject
to the rights of the County under the terms of the Lease Agreements. A Trustee has been appointed to collect and
disburse all amounts due under the Lease Agreements.
Simultaneously with the Lease Agreements, the Corporation issued Certificates of Participation Series 1998 and
Series 2004 (Certificates), to third parties, evidencing undivided proportionate interests in basic lease payments to be
made by the County, as lessee. The Lease Agreements further provide for successive one year renewal lease terms
unless earlier termination following an event of default or a non-appropriation of funds to make the lease payments.
Failure to appropriate funds to pay the lease payments will result in termination of the Lease Agreements and the
return of certain of the leased property to the Trustee.
The basic rent payments and, consequently, the principal and interest components payable to the owners of
Certificates are payable solely from revenue appropriated by the County for that purpose. The County is not legally
required to appropriate sums for the purpose of making the lease payments and the Certificates are not general
obligations or a pledge of the faith and credit of the County. Payments of principal and interest on the Series 1998
and Series 2004 Certificates are insured by AMBAC Indemnity Corporation and Municipal Bond Investor Assurance
Corporation (MBIA), respectively, under municipal bond insurance policies.
Basic lease payments represented by the Certificates are payable to the owners of the Certificates on each December
1 and June 1, and will be reflected as debt service expenditures when remitted to the Trustee.
The obligation through maturity to the holders of the Certificates, which will be serviced by the annual lease
payments, is as follows (in thousands):

Interest on the Certificates ranges from 2.00% to 5.00%. The principal amount of the Certificates has been included
in Loans Payable and Other Obligations of Governmental Activities in the schedule of changes in long-term
obligations at September 30, 2011.
Derivative Disclosure - Interest Rate Swap
Objective of the interest rate swap -The County entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $46,145,000 of its
2008 Series Subordinate Port Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds for the outstanding period of the bonds as a means
to lower its true borrowing costs when compared against fixed-rate bonds at the time of issuance. The intention of
the swap was to effectively change the Countys variable interest rate. Based on the swap agreement, the County pays
a synthetic fixed rate of 3.642%.
Terms - The bonds and the related swap agreement mature on September 1, 2027, and the swaps original notional
amount of $46,145,000 matches the original principal amount of the bonds issued. The swap was entered into at the
same time that the bonds were issued (July 2008). The notional value of the swap and the principal amount of the
associated debt declined beginning in fiscal 2008. The bonds are also subject to optional redemption beginning in
2008. Under the swap, the County pays the counterparty a fixed payment of 3.642% of the notional amount and
receives a variable payment computed by the remarketing agent that would cause the bonds to have a market value
equal to the principal thereof, plus accrued interest, under prevailing market conditions as of the date of the
determination.
Fair value -As of September 30, 2011, the swap had a negative fair value of $5,752,000. The swaps fair value is
reported in "Deferred Swap Outflow" and "Fair Value of Interest Rate Swap" in the accompanying Statement of Net
Assets. The swap's notional amount of $39,525,000 matches the principal amount of the outstanding bonds.
Credit risk - As of September 30, 2011, the County was not exposed to credit risk because the swap had a negative
fair value. However, should interest rates change and the fair value become positive, the County could be exposed to
credit risk in the amount of the swaps fair value. The swap agreement is subject to termination prior to September 1,
2027, upon the occurrence of certain termination events. An irrevocable transferable direct-pay Letter of Credit
(2008 Letter of Credit) was issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia (BONS) pursuant to the Reimbursement
Agreement dated as of July 1, 2008 between the County and BONS. The 2008 Letter of Credit is an irrevocable
obligation of BONS. The 2008 Letter of Credit was issued in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Series 2008 bonds, plus 56 days interest thereon at the rate of 15% per annum. The Trustee, upon
compliance with the terms of the 2008 Letter of Credit, is authorized and directed to draw amounts sufficient to pay
principal and interest of the Series 2008 Bonds when due because of maturity, redemption or acceleration, delivered
for purchase pursuant to a demand for purchase by the owner thereof or a mandatory tender for the purchase and
not remarketed among other provisions.
Basis risk - Municipal interest rate swaps are normally based on a fixed payment and an indexed variable receipt
instead of the actual variable debt payment. Any difference between the indexed variable receipt and the actual
market-determined variable rate paid on the bonds is called basis risk. Under the swap, the County will be paid the
actual market-determined variable borrowing rate on the swap, as determined by the remarketing agent, which
eliminates the basis risk.
Termination risk - Under certain conditions, the County or the counterparty may terminate the swap. If the swap is
terminated, the variable-rate bonds would no longer carry a synthetic interest rate but would become fixed-rate
bonds and this event could increase the Countys total debt service. If at the time of termination the swap has a
negative fair value by approximately the amount of such negative fair value, the counterparty would have no claim
against the County for any other compensation.
Swap payments and associated debt - As interest rates vary, the variable-rate interest payments and swap payments will
vary. Debt service requirements of the variable-rate bonds and the swap payments, based upon the fixed swap rate,
were as follows (in thousands):

The interest rate swap agreement does not affect the obligation of the County under the Indenture to repay the
principal and variable interest on the Series 2008 bonds. However, during the term of the swap agreement, the
County effectively pays a fixed rate on the debt. The debt service requirements to maturity for these bonds
(presented in this note) are based on that fixed rate. The County will be exposed to variable rates if the counterparty
to the swap defaults or if the swap agreement is terminated. A termination or default of the swap agreement may also
result in the County making or receiving a termination or default payment.
Defeased Bonds
The County has entered into refunding transactions whereby refunding bonds have been issued to facilitate the
retirement of the Countys obligation with respect to certain bond issues already outstanding. The proceeds of the
refunding issues have been placed in irrevocable escrow accounts and invested in U.S. Treasury obligations that,
together with interest earned thereon, will provide amounts sufficient for future payments of interest and principal on
the bond issues being refunded. Refunded bonds are not included in the Countys outstanding long-term debt since
the County has legally satisfied its obligations through the refunding transactions.

NOTE 5 - SELF-INSURANCE
The County is exposed to various risks and losses related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Under the Countys Self-Insurance Program, the
Risk Management Fund provides coverage for up to a maximum of $2,000,000 (Self-Insured Retention Limit) for each
workers compensation occurrence. In addition, the County has purchased excess coverage for losses above the selfinsured retention limit. Transportation Department, Auto liability, Medical malpractice, and General liability are
entirely self-insured, with the County providing coverage up to the statutory limits of $100,000 per person and
$200,000 per occurrence. The County (through the Risk Management Fund) purchases commercial insurance for life,
disability, airport liability, property damage, and numerous smaller policies that are required by lease agreements,
union contracts, state statutes, etc. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in the past three
years.
The Sheriffs Office operates a Self-Insurance Program for general, professional and auto liability risks. The Sheriff
provides coverage up to the statutory limits of $100,000 per person and $200,000 per occurrence. Excess coverage
for losses up to $5,000,000 per occurrence is provided through commercial coverage. Settled claims have not
exceeded this commercial coverage in the past three years.
Funds participating in the Self-Insurance Program make payments to the Risk Management Fund based on actuarial
estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims and to establish reserves for all losses. The
actuarial estimates include the effects of specific, incremental claim adjustment expenses, salvage, subrogation and
other allocated claim adjustments.
The reserves for the Self-Insurance Program totaled $98,535,000 at September 30, 2011 and are reported as a liability
of the Internal Service Funds. Participating funds are indemnified against any losses in a given year in excess of the fees
charged. Fees charged are expensed as incurred in all funds. The total claims liability at September 30, 2011 reflects
managements loss estimates of $54,674,000 for all reported claims and $48,360,000 for claims incurred but not
reported, net of a discount of $4,499,000 computed based on varying interest rates that range from 0.31% to 1.01%.
The net assets accumulated in the Countys Self-Insurance Program are designated for future catastrophic losses or
for the purchase of additional commercial insurance against such losses when available at advantageous rates. Changes

that statute or budget requires to expend them, (2) move receipts restricted to debt service from the funds collecting
the receipts to the debt service fund as debt service payments become due, and (3) use unrestricted revenues
collected in the general fund to finance various programs accounted for in other funds in accordance with budgetary
authorizations.
NOTE 7 -LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COSTS

State laws and regulations require the County to place a final cover on its landfills when it stops accepting waste and
to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for up to thirty years after closure. Although
closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the landfill stops accepting waste, the County
recognizes a portion of these costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity utilized.
At September 30, 2011, the County estimates that the cost of permanently capping and maintaining its landfills in
accordance with existing regulations will be $45,696,000. Of this amount, the County has accrued a liability of
$23,921,000 based on amortizing the total estimated cost over the operational life of the landfills. Of the total liability,
$295,000 is included in current liabilities payable from restricted assets and $23,626,000 is included in other longterm liabilities on the Proprietary Funds Statement of Net Assets.
The Countys three landfills are the Davie landfill, which has been closed and is now Vista View Park, the Southwest
Regional (interim contingency) landfill and the resource recovery landfill. A summary of the landfill accounts is as
follows (Dollars in thousands):

The $45,696,000 cost estimate is considered sufficient by County management and the Countys consulting engineers.
However, existing regulations may change which may require the County to incur additional closure and postclosure
costs. With the completion of the Ash Monofill cell expansion project in 2009, the estimated capacity of the landfill
was recalculated and the remaining life of the landfill was increased by 10 years. Based on the recent consulting
engineers' analysis, the estimated life of the Southwest Regional landfill was extended by 21 years and the estimated
closure date is scheduled for year 2045.
The County is required by state laws and regulations to make annual deposits to finance closure and postclosure care.
At September 30, 2011, cash and investments of $28,681,000 are held for these purposes. These are reported as
restricted assets on the Proprietary Funds Statement of Net Assets. The County expects that future inflation costs
will be paid from interest earnings on these annual deposits. However, if interest earnings are inadequate or
additional closure or postclosure care requirements are determined, these costs may need to be covered by charges
to future landfill users.
NOTE 8 -LARGE USER AGREEMENTS

The County has entered into agreements with large (wholesale) users of the North Regional Wastewater System (the
System). These agreements provide that the cost of operating the System be charged to each large user on the basis
of each users proportionate share of total gallons processed. In addition, each large user is charged a debt service fee
for the principal, interest and debt coverage requirements on debt issued to finance the construction of the North
Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. The debt service charge is based on the relative percentage of reserve
capacity designated for each user to total reserved capacity.
NOTE 9 -RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The County allocates certain support department costs which include legal, fiscal, purchasing, personnel, internal audit
and communication costs to other County departments. Certain funds are also charged for the cost of services
provided by the Self-Insurance, Fleet Services and Print Shop Funds. Costs of approximately $128,986,000 for the
above-mentioned services were allocated between funds during the year ended September 30, 2011.
NOTE 10 -PENSION COSTS

The County participates in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple-employer Public Employment
Retirement System (PERS), which covers substantially all permanent full and part-time County employees. FRS offers
a defined benefit plan (the Pension Plan) or a defined contribution plan (the Investment Plan).
Pension Plan benefits are computed on the basis of age, average final compensation and service credit. For employees
enrolling in FRS for the first time after June 30, 2011, average final compensation is the average of the eight highest
fiscal years of earnings compared with the average of the five highest years of earnings for those already enrolled.
The Florida Retirement System provides vesting of benefits after eight years of creditable service for employees
enrolling in the Pension Plan for the first time after June 30, 2011 compared with a vesting period of six years for
those already enrolled. Early retirement may be taken any time after vesting; however, there is a 5% benefit reduction
for each year prior to normal retirement age or date. The FRS also provides death and disability benefits. A State
statute establishes benefits.
FRS issues an annual financial report. A copy can be obtained by sending a written request to the Division of
Retirement, P.O. Box 9000 Tallahassee, FL 32315-9000 or by visiting their website at http://dms.myflorida.com.
The Countys required contribution rate is established by State statute, and ranges from 4.91% to 14.10% of covered
payroll, based on employee risk groups. In 2011 the State legislature mandated a 3% employee contribution effective
July 1, 2011 for all FRS covered employees. Employees who were enrolled in the Deferred Retirement Option
Program (DROP) before July 1, 2011 are not subject to the contribution. The combined employer/employees
contribution rates range from 7.91% to 17.10% of covered payroll based on employee risk groups. A summary of the
covered payroll, contributions and percentage of covered payroll are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 11 -OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

Plan Description
The County has two single employer defined benefit healthcare plans, the County plan and the Broward Sheriffs
Office (BSO) plan. The County plan allows its employees and their beneficiaries to continue obtaining health, dental
and other insurance benefits upon retirement. The BSO plan provides postemployment health insurance benefits for
employees and sworn officers upon retirement and subsidizes a portion of the premiums. The benefits of the
Countys plan conform with Florida statutes, which are the legal authority for the plan. The provisions of the BSO
plan may be amended through negotiations between BSO and its employee bargaining units. The plans have no assets
and do not issue separate financial reports.
Funding Policy and Annual OPEB Cost

The County makes no direct contribution to the County plan. Retirees and their beneficiaries pay the same group
rates as are charged to the County for active employees. The Countys actuaries, in their actuarial valuation, calculate
an offset to the cost of these benefits in the same manner as the BSO actuaries which is described below as the
Employer Contribution.
BSO retirees and their beneficiaries pay the same blended rates as active employees. However, BSO provides a
discount of 2% for each year of service with BSO up to 50% of the blended rates if retirees and their beneficiaries
meet certain qualifications and if the retiree was hired prior to October 1, 2007. BSO also pays 100% of the
premiums for line-of-duty disabled retirees.
BSO makes no advance funding contributions to the plan; rather, it pays the discounts for retirees and their
beneficiaries when due. In addition, the actuaries calculate an offset to the cost of these benefits that it includes in the
Employer Contributions. This offset equals the total age-adjusted costs paid by BSO or its active employees for
coverage of the retirees and their dependents for the year, net of the retirees own payments for the year.
Cumulatively, the County has set aside a reserve for future plan costs of $24.28 million, including $3.31 million during
fiscal year 2011. The reserve balance also includes accumulated interest of $.7 million. The County intends to set
aside additional funds for this purpose when available in the future. However, the County did not establish an
irrevocable trust fund, so these amounts are not considered as plan funding under the definitions of GASB
Statement No. 45.
Other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost for each plan is calculated based on the annual required contribution of
the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The
annual required contribution represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover
normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years. The
annual OPEB cost for the County and BSO for the current year and related information for each plan are as follows

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of
events in the future. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required
contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations
and new estimates are made about the future. The required schedule of funding progress presented as required
supplementary information is designed to provide multi-year trend information to show whether the actuarial value of
plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. However, the
County has not contributed assets to the plans at this time.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members)
and include the types of benefits in force at the valuation date and the pattern of sharing benefit costs between the
County and plan members to that point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and employ methods
and assumptions that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value
of assets. Significant methods and assumptions were as follows.

NOTE 12 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The County is currently actively engaged in various lawsuits including cases where the redress sought is for other
than monetary damages, i.e., mandamus, injunction, declaratory relief and cases for which the County has insurance
or is named as a nominal defendant. The County Attorney is of the opinion that the possible exposure resulting from
any ultimate resolution of litigation in which the County is a defendant would not have a material effect upon the
financial statements of the County.
Federal and State of Florida grants are subject to audit by the granting agencies to determine if activities comply with
conditions of the grant. Management believes that no material liability will arise from any grants audits.
The County leases office facilities and equipment under various leases, most of which have been executed on a yearto-year basis. Rental expenses for equipment leases and office facilities for the year ended September 30, 2011
amounted to $6,645,000. Future commitments under operating leases at September 30, 2011 are not material.
The County and twenty-six municipalities have entered into agreements requiring, among other things, the delivery of
a minimum number of tons of processable waste to the two recovery plants. To the extent that the minimum annual
tonnage is not delivered, the County and the contract municipalities are required to make payments sufficient to
compensate the operators of the plants for the undelivered tonnage at the current tipping fees less a credit for nonBroward tonnages delivered to the plant. In addition, the agreement with the operators of the plants provides for an
annual adjustment to the base tipping fee. With expiration of the Wheelabrator South Broward's service agreement
on August 4, 2011, the County negotiated a new contract for solid waste disposal charges. The new service
agreement does not include any minimum annual tonnage requirements.
During fiscal year 2011, the County was obligated to deliver 998,255 tons of processable waste to the plants. Actual
obligated deliveries were 850,674 tons. As a result, the County did not meet the minimum tonnage commitment and
was below by 14.8%. The County also delivered an additional 76,553 tons under the newly negotiated Wheelabrator
South Broward contract.
The Countys encumbrance policy is for fiscal year end individual encumbrances exceeding $500,000 to be considered
significant encumbrances. All encumbrances are classified as Restricted, Committed or Assigned Fund Balance in the
governmental fund balance sheet.
Significant encumbrances as of September 30, 2011 were (in thousands):

NOTE TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Budgetary Information
State Statutes require that all county governments establish budgetary systems and approve balanced annual budgets for such
funds as may be required by law or by sound financial practices and accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The BOCC, after review of the tentative budgets, holds public hearings and then adopts the annual budget for the
General, certain Special Revenue and Debt Service Funds. The Constitutional Officers, except for the Clerk of the Courts,
prepare annual operating budgets for their general funds which are reflected in the General Fund. No annual budgets are
established for the Sheriffs Special Revenue Fund and the Capital Projects Funds. The Sheriffs Special Revenue Fund has no
budget since all costs incurred are budgeted in the Sheriffs General Fund and are reimbursed by the Sheriffs Special Revenue
Fund. The Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a multi-year basis. All governmental fund appropriations lapse at year end
except capital outlay items.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and division on the same basis of accounting as required for
governmental fund types and conforms with GAAP. By local budget policy, transfers of appropriations between departments
and overexpenditure of appropriations at the department level require the approval of the Board. The County legal level of
budgetary control, which is the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations, is at the department level.

Energy and Building Automation Section

Facilities Maintenance Division
The Energy and Building Automation
Section (EBAS) of Facilities Maintenance
Division, has been quietly implementing
energy efficiency projects resulting in over
half a million dollars in utility cost savings.
Two notable projects are resulting in savings of more than $400,000 annually.
In the first project, a
Barry Allen,
Facilities team reviewed
Chief Energy
more than 1,600 electric
and Building
bills to evaluate how variAutomation
ous agencies use energy.
The goal was to reduce
utility costs by taking advantage of a Florida
Power and Light (FPL) rate option called
time-of-use, where utility accounts are
David Cabrera,
billed based on time of day usage. As a reEnergy
Engineer II
sult, 25 percent of Browards accounts with
FPL are time-of-use accounts, up from five
percent in 2008. There were 189 accounts
converted in 2010 alone, for an annual savings of $286,000.
The second project was a collaborative
effort between EBAS and the Parks and
Recreation Division to improve utility cost
savings at four County
aquatic facilities. The
Jim Murcliffe,
team determined that by
Engineering Tech II
installing Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs),
pump motors could operate at a precise
speed required for water flow rather than
inefficient full motor speed. The VFDs not
only pay for themselves within one year, but Albert Peterson,
provide an annual savings of $180,000. As an Engineer III
added bonus, the pumps will experience less
stress and, hence, have a longer lifespan.

* The 2006 Professional Sports Facilities Bonds are primarily secured by the three revenue sources listed at the beginning of this
schedule. Because non-ad valorem revenues represent a secondary source of repayment for the 2006 Professional Sports Facilities
Bonds, debt service for these bonds is not included in the debt service capacity calculations. Non-ad valorem revenues were not
used as a source of repayment for those bonds in fiscal year 2011 and are not anticipated to be used as a source of repayment in
fiscal year 2012.
