Presented by Bray, Beck and Koetter, CPAs, P.A.
Mr. Ed Beck introduced Mr. Charles Tucker, Audit Partner and Ms. Yvonne Clayborough,
Senior Audit Manager to review the results of the annual audit. Mr. Tucker reviewed the
points of the Audit Plan to include Florida Statutes, Rules of the Auditor General, the
Compliance Audit Guide and other technical resources required to compile the audit. Mr.
Tucker suspected additional standards for govemment in the future due to trends in the
wake of the Sarbanes -Oxley Act. Mr. Tucker reported that there were no instances of sport non -
compliance in audit reports and no material weaknesses of intemal control. He also
P
reported that there were no material instances of non- compliance in grant reporting.
Ms. Clayborough reviewed the points of the management letter and any subsequent
comments. Ms. Clayborough announced that GASB 34 reporting would begin next year;
however staff has undergone significant training. She stated that there was minimal

This provision widens the interviewing scope to include Council members and staff. Mr.
Clayborough also noted that the New Independent Standards monitor the actions that an
auditor is allowed to perform during the course of an audit in order to remain independent
of the City's financial functions. Ms. Clayborough reported that the Building Department
would benefit from additional formal, written procedures to provide efficiency and
consistency from one Building Official to another.
Ms. Clayborough reviewed the Unreserved Fund Balance and Retained Earnings. She
stated that the City is well above the benchmark in maintaining its fiscal assets. The City's
debt ratio per capita was well below other municipalities. Mayor Randels inquired if the fire
truck was the notable debt incurred. The auditors affirmed. Ms. Clayborough reviewed
General Revenues versus employees and stated that the City's revenue base has grown
significantly. The City might also want to consider additional personnel in order to better
manage its services efficiently. Ms. Clayborough stated that the City is gaining more in
generating revenue from Other Services and the City is doing well in managing its
investment income in a tight economy. She reviewed the General Fund Revenues by
Source and Expenditures by Activity. Public Safety shows a continued increase of
expenses in the budget. Ms. Clayborough stated that on the Sewer Fund Operating
Revenues and Expenses the City was near a break -even point in the current year. The
auditors would continue to monitor this trend.
Mayor Randels expressed his concern over Expenses nearing Revenues in Sewer Fund
Operations because the State's Bond Debt requirement of 1.25. Mr. Treverton noted that
anticipated new residents would impact sewer operations and revenue should follow to
offset the Sewer Fund Operating budget. Mr. Boucher brought attention to the General
Obligation Debt on Page 67 and noted that the City has room to develop. Mr. Boucher
responded to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog 's question on the increase in Public Safety expense
that the City proactively took action and secured additional personnel in Police, Fire and
the Building Department in light of development.
A motion was made by Mr. Treverton and seconded by Mr. Miller to Approve the
Annual Audit Ending September 30, 2003. The motion carried 4-0 with voting as

Mayor Randels read the resolution in its entirety in order to provide clarification on the
need for the corrections. There were questions due to an application presented to the
Planning and Zoning Board. The City did address the issue in 1980, however staff at that
time did not make the anticipated changes. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog questioned the
difference in the footage that Mr. Venable presented from that on the map. Attorney
Garganese replied that the City Planner sent Mr. Venable a letter stating that the boundary
line was at 350 feet and Mr. Venable used the information on his survey. Subsequent
review discovered that the line should reflect 361 feet.
Attorney Garganese stated that on July 15, 1965 the City Council adopted Ordinance 81-
64 -E that established the C -1 Commercial district boundary for this particular area of the
City. No record has been found to reflect that action was taken to correct the zoning map.
Under City code section 110 -247, the City Council can correct scrivener's errors as long as
that correction does not amend what was decided by a zoning ordinance. Mr. Boucher
replied to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that the surveyor determined the footage as 361 feet and
Mr. Venable has been notified. Mayor Randels called for clarification of the additional
whereas clauses to the resolution from the City Attorney. Attorney Garganese stated the
additional amendments : 1) that the C -1 Commercial district boundary was
established by Ordinance No. 81 -64-E on July 15, 1965 and the C -1 zoning line was
not changed from that date forward, 2) City code section 110 -247 permits the City
Council by Resolution to correct scrivener's errors on the zoning map and 3) in
Section 1 of the Ordinance, the City Council hereby directs that the C -1 commercial
district boundary described in Ordinance No. 81 -64-E as depicted on the attached
Exhibit A pursuant to the professional land survey of 1980 be depicted on the
official zoning map of the City of Cape Canaveral.
There was no public comment.
A motion was made by Mr. Treverton and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Hoog to
Authorize the City Clerk to Make Certain Corrections to the Official Zoning Map to
Include the City Attorney's Amendments. The motion carried 4-0 with voting as
follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For Mr. Miller, For, Mayor Randels, For and Mr.
Treverton, For.
