FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) developed a comprehensive set of
recommended budget practices that has been endorsed by the Government Finance Officers Association,ICMA,
academia,etc. These recommended practices provide a framework for the budget process encompassing a broad
scope of governmental planning and decision-making with regard to the use of resources.
NACSLB Principal 2, Element 4, "Adopt Financial Policies" addresses the need for jurisdictions to establish
policies to help frame resource allocation decisions.As such,the following are five categories of recommended
financial management policies developed within these guidelines with the associated measurable benchmarks for
adoption by the City Commission.The five categories are Operating Management,Debt Management,Investment
Management,Account Management and Financial Planning&Economic Resources and are detailed below:

be budgeted in the manner delineated below.

1.3. Franchise fee revenue should be budgeted at 95% of the maximum estimate prepared by Financial
Services Department.
1.4. Public Service Taxes on Electric, Propane and Natural Gas should be budgeted at 95% of the
maximum estimate prepared by the Financial Services Department.
Policy#2:

should show fiscal restraint. Expenditures should be managed to create a positive cash balance(surplus) in each
fund at the end of the fiscal year.
Policy#3:
The City should maintain a prudent cash management and investment program in order to meet daily cash
requirements, increase the amount available for investment, and earn the maximum rate of return on invested
funds commensurate with appropriate security.The City will use the following performance benchmarks for its
investment portfolio.
3.1.The Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year US Treasury&Agency Index which is a subset of The
Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Treasury & Agency Index including all securities with a remaining
term to final maturity less than 3 years, will be used as a benchmark for the performance of funds
designated as core funds and other non-operating funds that have a longer-term investment horizon. The
index will be used as a benchmark to be compared to the portfolio's total rate of return.
3.2.The S&P rated LGIP Index/All will be used as a benchmark as compared to the portfolio's net book
value rate of return for current operating funds.
