Agenda 11/14/2017 Item # 9B11/14/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution declaring the acquisition of the assets of the Florida
Governmental Utility Authority serving the Golden Gate community in Collier County, Florida, by
the Collier County Water-Sewer District, and implementation of county rates is in the public
interest; to establish rates and charges; to modify the service area of the Collier County Water -
Sewer District and authorize the Chair to execute a Utility System Transition Agreement.
OBJECTIVE: To hold a public hearing, pursuant to Florida Statute 124.3041, to enable the Board of
County Commissioners, as Ex-officio the Government Board of the Water-Sewer District, to determine
that the acquisition of the utility serving Golden Gate City from the Florida Governmental Utility
Authority (FGUA) and the implementation of Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD) rates and
charges is in the public interest. The Staff Report (Attachment 1) finds the acquisition to be in the public
interest.
CONSIDERATIONS: At the June 27, 2017 Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting, item
11D, staff was authorized to initiate the final due diligence process to acquire the utility serving Golden
Gate City from FGUA. One of the steps in that process is to hold a public hearing, in accordance with
Florida Statutes, to determine if the acquisition, and the implementation of CCWSD rates and charges, is
in the public interest.
On June 27, staff cited three areas of concern that will be addressed with the acquisition:
1. Public Health - with the expansion of the potable water distribution system to the residents in
Golden Gate City, potable water wells can be eliminated, thus reducing the health threat of septic
systems in close proximity to drinking water wells.
2. Public Safety - installation of fire hydrants on the expanded water distribution system will
provide added fire protection throughout Golden Gate City
3. Environmental Health - to be addressed in the longer term to provide wastewater service to
properties abutting the canal systems.
The Resolution (Attachment 2) Exhibit A addresses the criteria mandated for consideration by the Board
with respect to the acquisition as detailed in the report prepared by the Public Resources Management
Group (PRMG). The report concludes that the acquisition is in the public interest. The Utility System
Transition Agreement (Attachment 3) establishes the terms, conditions and process for transitioning the
ownership of the Golden Gate System from the FGUA to the CCWSD in an expeditious manner.
Staff plans to continue to operate the wastewater plant as a sub-regional plant, which will require staffing
this Class B treatment facility with six (6) FTE’s. However, due to the proximity of the South County
Regional Water Treatment Plant, staff intends to interconnect the Golden Gate City potable water system
with the CCWSD potable water system on or about the transfer date not operate the existing FGUA water
treatment plant. Plans to construct the interconnects are already underway.
To operate and maintain the acquired infrastructure, which includes 47 miles of water mains, 291
hydrants, 328 control valves, 55 miles of sewer mains, 28 lift stations and 437 manholes, staff
recommends eight (8) FTE’s which includes 3 field crews of two each, one (1) Crew Leader and one (1)
Instrumentation/Electrical Technician. Currently, the FGUA employees 11 dedicated staff and eight (8)
shared staff through contractual arrangements.
The current FGUA utility service area will be absorbed into and thereby expand the Collier County
Water-Sewer District’s water and sewer service area upon the acquisition date.

FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance Committee met on October 3, 2017
and recommended that the Series 2010, Series 2012 and Series 2015 Senior Lien Bonds of the Golden
Gate System in the cumulative amount of $34,960,000 be refinanced and restructured to achieve the
greatest net present value (NPV) savings to the water/sewer district as opposed to simply assuming the
debt. This NPV savings based upon a planning interest rate of 2.3% would realize NPV interest savings of
$3,397,000 over the life of the restructured issue. The specific level of savings will not be known until
receipt of the bids. In addition, committee members recommended taking cash from the utility transfer
and pay off one Sun Trust loan totaling $2,265,100 and two State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans in the
amount of $1,433,653.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost of the legal advertisement for this public hearing is $1,890.
Funds are available in the Collier County Water-Sewer District Operating Fund (408).
An estimate of the financial impact to the existing CCWSD FY18 budget for the period March 1 to
September 30, 2018 is anticipated to be revenue centric and is summarized in the following table. A
budget amendment is required. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the estimated expenditures
identified in the Technical Feasibility Report for the collection and distribution system rehabilitation, the
generator capacity evaluation study and minor upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant. Subsequent
years CIP will include, but are not limited to, AC pipe replacements as necessary and future expansion of
the potable water system, including fire hydrants.

STAFF REPORT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 125.3401, FLORIDA STATUTES
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Collier County, Florida
FROM: Dr. George Yilmaz
DATE: October 26, 2017
RE: Public Hearing and Resolution Considering the Acquisition of the Water and Wastewater Utility
Assets of the Florida Governmental Utility Authority Golden Gate System and Establishing Rates
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff of the Collier County Water-Sewer District ("CCWSD") of Collier County, Florida ("County") hereby
presents the Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) with this report addressing a proposed Utility
System Transition Agreement ("Transition Agreement") with the Florida Governmental Utility Authority
("FGUA"). The Transition Agreement contains the proposed terms of the conveyance to CCWSD of the
water and wastewater utility facilities comprising the Golden Gate System currently owned by FGUA (the
“Golden Gate System”). If the Board desires to proceed with this transaction under the presented terms,
the Board must adopt Resolution No. 2017-___ which (a) approves the terms of the Transition Agreement
and related transfer documents being presented with this Report (collectively, the Transition Agreement
and transfer documents will hereafter be referred to as the “Transfer Documents”), (b) directs and
authorizes the transition into CCWSD of the real and personal property described in the Transition
Agreement comprising the Golden Gate System, (c) establishes the new water and wastewater rates and
charges as the same rates and charges applied by CCWSD to its existing customers, (d) modifies the
existing CCWSD service area to include the Golden Gate System service area and (e) terminates any pre-
existing authorization from the Collier County Water-Sewer Regulatory Authority to FGUA to own and
operate the Golden Gate System.
BRIEF HISTORY OF FGUA GOLDEN GATE SYSTEM AND COUNTY TRANSITION EFFORTS
Collier County has been contemplating the transition of the FGUA System into the CCSWD since 1999
when the owner of the water and wastewater utility then serving the Golden Gate area decided to sell all
of the water and wastewater systems it owned, which at that time included the Golden Gate System, to
the Florida Governmental Utility Authority. Pursuant to the Florida law applicable to government utility
authorities, the FGUA notified Collier County of the potential to purchase the Golden Gate System. The
FGUA sought the County’s consent to such a purchase. By resolution 199-09 (the “Consent Resolution”),
the Board of County Commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with the FGUA (the “Interlocal
2
Agreement”) which consented to the FGUA’s purchase but also retained to the County the right to
purchase the Golden Gate System. The Interlocal Agreement further established that in the event the
County elected to assume ownership of the Golden Gate System from the FGUA, the purchase price would
be an amount equal to the then-outstanding balance of the debt incurred by FGUA to acquire and improve
the Golden Gate System together with the assumption by the County of any other FGUA obligations
related to such System which may exist at the time of the County’s election to purchase. Copies of the
Consent Resolution and Interlocal Agreement are provided in Appendix A to this Report. Since the
Interlocal Agreement was signed, the FGUA closed on the purchase of the Golden Gate System and has
operated, maintained and improved the System since 1999. The current financial status and other
information pertinent to the Board’s decision whether to pursue the transition of the Golden Gate System
into CCWSD at this time is provided later in this Report and in the appendices hereto.
On November 3, 2015, CCWSD presented, and the Board approved, the County’s “Sustainable Integrated
Water Resource Management Plan.” Transition of the FGUA’s Golden Gate System into CCWSD is another
important step, in addition to the recent Orange Tree Utility System integration, toward fulfillment of such
plan. As the Board reiterated recently when authorizing the integration of the Orange Tree Utility System
into CCWSD, ever since the County began purchasing private water and wastewater utilities, the County
has recognized that the proliferation of small water and wastewater systems may not be conducive to the
most cost effective and efficient provision of water and wastewater service. Where efficient and effective
service is not available, the utility owner, customers, and the environment may suffer. Recognizing the
benefits and efficiencies of economies of scale as a utility system grows as well as other benefits from
CCWSD ownership of utility systems in the County, on June 27, 2017, the Board adopted Resolution 2017-
123 authorizing County staff to work toward the potential transition of the FGUA System into CCWSD
pursuant to the terms of the Interlocal Agreement. CCWSD has proceeded to conduct the negotiation and
due diligence processes relating to the Golden Gate System in a manner consistent with applicable County
ordinances and the Interlocal Agreement since that time.
CCWSD retained financial, legal and engineering experts skilled in the utility acquisition process to assist
the County in the transition process. Public Resources Management Group (“PRMG”), the CCWSD financial
experts, and the engineering firm, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., have presented CCWSD with several
reports regarding the Golden Gate System (the “PRMG Report” and “Stantec Report”, respectively). PRMG
and Stantec support County Staff’s recommendation that the Golden Gate System be transitioned into
CCWSD at this time. In addition, CCWSD, by and through Stantec, has evaluated the Golden Gate System’s
compliance with local, state and federal laws, rules and permits, including environmental impact analyses
as deemed appropriate, and confirmed that the Golden Gate water and wastewater systems are currently
in substantial compliance and capable of CCWSD operation on a cost-effective basis. Follow up
investigations subsequent to Hurricane Irma revealed that the Golden Gate System had not been
materially adversely affected from the hurricanes and thus Staff’s recommendation to proceed with the
transition has not been altered. The Transfer Documents provide the terms of the conveyance of the FGUA
System to the County in the manner and timeframes contemplated in such documents.
Requirements of Florida Law
Public Hearing Requirement
Pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, the County has the power to acquire, operate, construct, own,
and manage water and/or wastewater utility facilities. In accordance with these and similar powers,
3
County Staff has negotiated the terms of the proposed Transition Agreement and Transfer Documents
which provide for the transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD in a manner consistent with the
Interlocal Agreement and applicable County ordinances.
To provide for the public interest and welfare, section 125.3401, Florida Statutes requires the Board to
address and balance numerous factors, listed below, when considering the proposed transition of the
Golden Gate System into CCWSD. The CCWSD acquisition team has spent many hours in the investigation
of this potential transition, conducting due diligence and negotiating terms with the FGUA to ensure the
seamless transition of the FGUA’s Golden Gate System and customers into CCWSD. The following
information, together with, and summarizing, the more detailed financial and engineering information
presented by PRMG and Stantec is provided for the Board’s consideration in determining if the
recommended action is in the public interest:
(1) The most recent available income and expense statement for the utility. This information is
provided in pertinent portions of the most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the FGUA
relating to the Golden Gate System (the "CAFR") for the period ending December 31, 2016. Copies of
pertinent pages of the CAFR are attached in the PRMG Report as Table 2-1.
(2) The most recent available balance sheet for the utility, listing assets and liabilities and clearly
showing the amount of contributions-in-aid-of-construction and the accumulated depreciation thereon.
This information is included in the Financial Section of the CAFR referred to above, copies of pertinent
pages are provided in Table 3-1 of the PRMG Report.
(3) A statement of the existing rate base of the utility for regulatory purposes. As a governmental
authority, the FGUA does not maintain “rate base” information. Rate base is a ratemaking financial
concept which applies only to private or “investor-owned” utilities. Rate base considers such concepts as
“used and useful” plant in service which do not apply to utility systems owned and operated by
government-owned utilities such as CCWSD and FGUA. The FGUA Golden Gate System thus does not have
a recorded “rate base” and has not recorded rate base information since the System was last owned by a
private owner in 1999 prior to purchase by the FGUA.
(4) The physical condition of the utility facilities being purchased, sold or subject to a wastewater
facility privatization contract. Stantec conducted a regulatory compliance review of the FGUA System
operations, which CCWSD has reviewed and continues to follow up on. According to the Stantec Report,
the Golden Gate wastewater system is “in good condition and limited improvements are needed to
maintain wastewater service to existing customers.” The Golden Gate water system is experiencing
problems with unaccounted for water and low water treatment recovery rates from the existing
treatment process which, absent a CCWSD acquisition or interconnect with the CCWSD water system,
would require significant capital expenditures by FGUA to improve water quality and assist the System to
operate more effectively. As reported below in this Staff recommendation and report, CCWSD and its
engineers recommend that an interconnect of the Golden Gate System with the CCWSD water system be
completed as soon as possible after the Transfer Date to remedy these issues. The Transition Agreement
4
provides for this expeditious completion of the required interconnect so water quality and water system
operation, generally, should improve soon after CCWSD takes ownership of the Golden Gate System.
Representatives of CCWSD and its experts also periodically have performed on-site visits to inspect the
FGUA Golden Gate System. CCWSD will need to incorporate the FGUA Golden Gate System into its
geographical information system ("G.I.S.") should the Board approved the proposed transition. The
Transition Agreement, if approved, provides CCWSD and its representatives continued access to the FGUA
System prior to the date title to the FGUA System is to be transferred to CCWSD. CCWSD shall utilize the
period between the Board's approval of the Transition Agreement and the day that ownership of the
Golden Gate System is transferred to CCWSD (the "Transfer Date") to continue to analyze and monitor
system operations and familiarize CCWSD personnel with specific operations protocols to insure smooth
transition of System operations to CCWSD. The Transition Agreement further provides the County the
ability to continue utilization of FGUA contracts or contractors subsequent to the Transfer Date should
the County so desire.
Finally, CCWSD has secured from FGUA in the Transition Agreement representations confirming
substantial compliance of the Golden Gate System with applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and
permits and identifying a single real property related issue which CCWSD is addressing.
(5) The reasonableness of the contract price and terms. The proposed conveyance of the Golden
Gate System and transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD is to be completed pursuant to the
terms of the Transition Agreement and Transfer Documents, and applicable County ordinances, with the
purchase price payable by the County equal to the outstanding debt and other obligations of FGUA related
solely to the Golden Gate System.
The FGUA has acquired other utility systems located in a number of other Florida counties, some of which
systems previously have been transitioned into ownership by the county or city in which such systems
were located. The proposed transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD would occur in a manner
and upon such terms which are similar to the transitions of FGUA systems to other local governments in
the past. In addition, the terms of the Transition Agreement reflect and incorporate the guidance, rights
and obligations provided to CCWSD and the County through the Interlocal Agreement and County
ordinances.
Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement, CCWSD will assume ownership of all assets and associated rights of
the Golden Gate System used to provide service in the existing FGUA Golden Gate service area. Deeds,
easements, a bill of sale and FGUA records and documents pertaining to the Golden Gate System will be
provided by FGUA to the County to enable CCWSD to provide service to current customers as well as
future customer growth.
Liabilities: The FGUA will convey to the County all rights and ownership associated with the Golden Gate
System, including all cash (both restricted and unrestricted), rights to revenue, and title to all property.
The FGUA bonds do not permit any FGUA system to be responsible for the liabilities of any other FGUA
system. Thus, upon conveyance of the Golden Gate System to CCWSD, CCWSD shall be responsible for
satisfying any liabilities associated with the Golden Gate System arising out of any occurrence or event
which occurred prior to, as well as subsequent to, the Transfer Date. Since CCWSD will assume the risks
5
related to past FGUA non-compliance with applicable laws, permits and rules, CCWSD would be assuming
a risk not ordinarily assumed in a utility system transfer situation. Therefore, CCWSD has conducted
thorough due diligence of the Golden Gate System, including consultation with regulatory authorities, to
best be able to assess the potential scope of such a risk. CCWSD and its experts have determined that risks
associated with CCWSD’s assumption of pre-Transfer Date liabilities should not materially adversely affect
CCWSD’s ability to operate the Golden Gate System after the Transfer Date so as to comply with the
financial, operating and engineering projections of CCWSD’s experts, as identified in the PRMG Report.
Transfer Date: March 1, 2017
Title Insurance: FGUA shall provide the County with deeds to the four (4) parcels of property owned by
FGUA in fee title, including the parcel upon which the primary water and wastewater facilities, including
the water and wastewater treatment plants (the “Treatment Plants Parcel”) are located. Existing
easements in favor of FGUA shall be assigned to CCWSD and the Transition Agreement provides that new
deeds and easements shall be granted to CCWSD by FGUA as may be required by CCWSD so that CCWSD
possesses rights of use and access to all assets used by FGUA to operate the Golden Gate System being
integrated into CCWSD. CCWSD will identify property and easements for which title insurance will be
secured as well as the amount of title insurance required. The FGUA will possess no rights to such property
or easements subsequent to the Transfer Date.
To date, CCWSD due diligence and FGUA disclosures have identified one known potential encumbrance
or liability related to real and personal property to be conveyed to CCWSD under the Transition
Agreement. This issue relates to an access easement to Golden Gate System water facilities and related
facilities (antanaeantennae). CCWSD staff and experts are addressing the issues with the expectation that
resolution may be achieved prior to the Transfer Date. At the present time, the issues identified would
not appear to be materially adverse to CCWSD operation of the Golden Gate System in the manner
currently contemplated by CCWSD.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters: FGUA represents to the County that there is no pending litigation or
material regulatory matter relating to the Golden Gate System and that FGUA has no knowledge of facts
which would suggest litigation or a regulatory matter of an enforcement nature may arise based upon any
known act or omission of the FGUA or its contractors. As explained previously in this Report, due to the
unique structure of the FGUA, should a regulatory matter arise subsequent to the Transfer Date, CCWSD
would be liable for rectifying such matter regardless of whether the act or omission giving rise to such
matter occurred prior to the Transfer Date.
(6) The impacts of the purchase and sale on utility customers, both positive and negative. It is
expected that the impact and consequences of acquiring the Golden Gate System from the FGUA on both
ratepayers and landowners will be positive in nature. The area served by the Golden Gate System is
surrounded by CCWSD’s service area and facilities. To improve the quality of water and wastewater
service from the level of service currently being provided by FGUA and generally to comport with the
mission of CCWSD to provide safe, sufficient and economical water and wastewater utility service, the
following is proposed by CCWSD:
6
(a) Acceptance of conveyance of the FGUA System by the County pursuant to the terms of the
Transfer Documents presented to the Board;
(b) Upon the Transfer Date, CCWSD shall charge former FGUA customers the same rates, fees and
charges currently authorized by the Board to be charged to customers of CCWSD. The County’s monthly
water and wastewater rates represent approximately a 25% decrease in the monthly bill for former FGUA
customers using an average of 6,000 gallons of water per monthly billing period.
(c) CCWSD has initiated steps to interconnect the existing water system serving the Golden Gate
community to CCWSD’s water system soon after the Transfer Date. Water quality is anticipated to
improve, and capital expenditures previously anticipated to be made by the FGUA to expand its water
treatment facilities and improve the quality of water it was serving will be prevented.
(d) Upon the Transfer Date, CCWSD will possess the financial ability to provide water and wastewater
services to not only the areas currently served by FGUA, but potentially areas within the Golden Gate
service area which are not yet receiving central water and wastewater service from the FGUA.
(e) After the transition of the FGUA System into CCWSD, CCWSD will continue to possess more than
sufficient financial ability to meet all identified capital needs, renewal and replacement, operations,
management and adequate contingencies for operating the Golden Gate System.
(7) Any additional investment required and the ability and willingness of CCWSD to make that
investment. The transition of the FGUA System into CCWSD represents yet another significant step
forward in fulfilling the County’s Sustainable Integrated Water Resource Management Plan. The Golden
Gate System currently serves approximately 3,640 water and 2,300 wastewater connections. CCWSD,
together with Stantec, have conducted extensive engineering and operations due diligence. The transition
of the FGUA System into CCWSD will advance CCWSD’s ability to provide service in the Northeast service
area. CCWSD will be able to serve the Northeast service area through existing and to be constructed
facilities, as well as provide interconnections between the Golden Gate System and existing CCWSD in-
ground infrastructure.
The Transition Agreement identifies capital projects which will be completed prior to the Transfer Date
by FGUA, as well as those projects which may be initiated by FGUA prior to the Transfer Date but which
would remain in process as of such date. CCWSD shall assume responsibility to complete any FGUA
Transition Projects not completed as of the Transfer Date. Any warranties associated with completed
projects or projects in process on the Transfer Date shall be conveyed to CCWSD by FGUA.
Also, CCWSD has identified certain capital projects and improvements which CCWSD shall initiate if the
Board approves the Transition Agreement which CCWSD anticipates will allow CCWSD to improve service
in the Golden Gate community as of the Transfer Date. Perhaps most significantly, CCWSD and FGUA shall
initiate construction of facilities necessary to interconnect the Golden Gate System water facilities to
CCWSD’s water system in three locations (approximate cost $1.5 million) on or shortly after the Transfer
Date. It is anticipated that completion of the interconnects upon CCWSD taking ownership of the Golden
Gate System will improve water quality, resolve current quality issues currently being experienced by
FGUA (i.e., lead and copper), reduce water system operating costs and eliminate the need to invest larger
sums which FGUA had been contemplating making in other capital projects to address the water issues.
7
(8) The alternatives to the purchase and the potential impact on utility customers if the purchase is
not made. It is in the public interest that long-range planning, management, financing, maintenance,
upkeep, and operations of water and wastewater utilities be coordinated by the County through the
CCWSD. The transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD is another step toward achieving this goal.
This transition initiative meets current growth management plan standards to ensure the adequacy and
availability of viable public facilities, including goals established in the most recent Sustainable Integrated
Water Resource Management Plan.
CCWSD is unable to identify any negative consequence on current customers of the Golden Gate System
from the proposed transition. Customer rates will immediately decrease upon the Transfer Date. Future
rate increases will be lower than customers otherwise would have experienced under continued FGUA
ownership as CCWSD offers significant economies of scale, lower financing costs (tax exempt debt at
better rating), and the ability to manage costs and investments for the long term. Under FGUA ownership,
the utility has been managed for the shorter term as the FGUA knew of CCWSD’s option to assume
responsibility for serving the Golden Gate service area and acquiring the Golden Gate System. Water
quality and the efficiency of water system operations should improve soon after the Transfer Date upon
completion of the interconnection of the Golden Gate System to the CCWSD water system.
As the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement provides the County with the right to acquire the Golden Gate
System at any time, another private utility likely would not purchase the Golden Gate System from the
FGUA since such owner would be bound by the terms of the Interlocal Agreement. The sale of the Golden
Gate System to a private utility would appear to be foreclosed; and it is doubtful that a private utility could
bestow on current customers of the Golden Gate System the many benefits expected to be derived from
the CCWSD acquisition. Based on the foregoing, FGUA customers will benefit from the proposed transition
of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD.
(9) The ability of the County to provide and maintain high-quality and cost-effective utility service. As
indicated previously in this Report, transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD is an important step
toward fulfilling the Sustainable Integrated Water Resource Management Plan approved by the Board on
November 3, 2015. CCWSD, PRMG and Stantec have conducted extensive due diligence and analyzed the
operations and capital needs and cash flow projected to be experienced by CCWSD upon successful
transition of the Golden Gate System into CCWSD. CCWSD will achieve economies of scale and other
efficiencies (i.e., from abandoning the current water treatment plants) when the Golden Gate System is
operated in conjunction with CCWSD’s existing utility operations. CCWSD’s ability to provide and maintain
high-quality and cost-effective utility service for the Golden Gate System is best demonstrated in the AAA
ratings currently bestowed by Fitch rating agency upon CCWSD’s existing water and wastewater bonds, a
testament to the sound utility policies and practices employed by CCWSD. Also, customers of the Golden
Gate System should benefit from CCWSD’s superior bond ratings thus providing access to lower cost public
financing than previously available under FGUA ownership. CCWSD’s superior bond ratings should lower
capital costs for system expansions, interconnects and other improvements. CCWSD’s decades of
experience acquiring, operating, and improving water and wastewater systems is sufficient justification
for customers of the Golden Gate System to be confident that they will be well served by CCWSD.
8
Other Material Facts
Other material facts concerning the Golden Gate System for the Board’s consideration and approval
include (a) approval of the incorporation of the Golden Gate service area into CCWSD’s service area; (b)
termination of any authorization to operate the Golden Gate System previously issued to FGUA by the
Collier County Water and Sewer Regulatory Authority; and (c) the potential impact of reduced monthly
rates to be charged to former FGUA customers after the proposed transition.
(a) The special law passed by the Florida Legislature to create the CCWSD (Chapter 2003-353, Laws
of Florida, to be referred to in this Report as the "Special Act") excludes from CCWSD’s service
area the areas currently served by the FGUA’s Golden Gate System. Upon transition of the Golden
Gate System to CCWSD, CCWSD will assume responsibility to provide water and wastewater
services to this area. The resolution proposed for Board consideration includes a finding that it is
in the public interest for the Golden Gate System to be transitioned from FGUA to CCWSD
ownership together with the expansion of CCWSD’s service area to include those areas in the
Golden Gate community currently served by the FGUA as well as areas in which the FGUA
previously was authorized to provide service but are as yet unserved.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement, and subsequent agreements, the
County’s Water and Sewer Regulatory Authority (the “Regulatory Authority”) has possessed
certain regulatory authority over FGUA operations in the County since 1999. The resolution
presented to the Board provides for the Board, acting as the ex officio board of the Regulatory
Authority, to recognize (i) the transition of the Golden Gate System to CCWSD, (ii) the expansion
of CCWSD’s service area to include all areas in which the FGUA previously was authorized to
provide water and wastewater service, and (iii) the termination of any authorization previously
granted to FGUA to provide water and wastewater services in such area.
(c) Service Rates Under FGUA versus CCWSD Ownership. FGUA over the years has filed rate increase
requests with the Authority to recover its investments in the Golden Gate System and its cost of
operating the System. As of this date, the monthly service rates charged by FGUA for water and
wastewater service are approximately twenty-five percent (25%) higher than the corresponding
rates charged by CCWSD. Upon completion of the recommended transition of the Golden Gate
System into CCWSD, CCWSD proposes that the rates charged to customers previously served by
FGUA be equal to CCWSD rates in accordance with section seventeen of the Special Act, which
prohibits discrimination in the fees, rates and charges for users in the same class which possess
the same service characteristics. Charging CCWSD rates initially is likely to reduce the operating
income from the Golden Gate System from levels currently being obtained by the FGUA as
monthly service revenue will be reduced. The revenue reduction is anticipated to be offset by
reductions in certain operating costs currently projected by CCWSD. It also is unknown whether
significantly reduced monthly customer bills will encourage customers to use more water which
would produce higher revenue than currently projected by the County’s expert. In addition,
CCWSD contemplates offering additional service in areas not currently served by FGUA, which
service would generate additional revenue and have associated public health, safety and
environmental benefits. Considering all pertinent factors, CCWSD believes that the cost and
revenue projections presented to the Board by the County’s financial expert, PRMG, as well as
the projected investments in capital projects to be made by CCWSD subsequent to the Transfer
9
Date, are reasonable and conservative projections which may be relied upon by the Board when
considering the proposed acquisition.
Determination of Public Interest
Upon consideration of the above factors, it is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners find
that the transition of the FGUA System into CCWSD pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement
and Transfer Documents is in the public interest; that the transfer of the water and wastewater assets of
FGUA to CCWSD be approved as of right; that the rates charged by CCWSD to customers served by the
Golden Gate System as of the Transfer Date be those rates currently in effect for CCWSD customers in the
same customer class; that CCWSD be authorized to continue to operate the Golden Gate System pursuant
to the terms of such operations, equipment or other service agreements as CCWSD determines should be
assigned to CCWSD as of the Transfer Date; that the CCWSD service area include the service area
previously served by FGUA; and that any authorization by the Regulatory Authority previously granted to
FGUA to provide water and wastewater service in the Golden Gate community be terminated.
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, AS THE GOVERNING BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AND EX -
OFFICIO AS THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER -SEWER
DISTRICT AND EX -OFFICIO AS THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE COLLIER COUNTY
WATER AND SEWER REGULATORY AUTHORITY DIRECTING AND AUTHORIZING
THE ACQUISITION OF THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED OR UTILIZED
BY THE FLORIDA GOVERNMENTAL UTILITY AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE WATER AND
WASTEWATER SERVICES IN COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, IN THE GOLDEN GATE
COMMUNITY; PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS OF PUBLIC PURPOSE AND NECESSITY;
PROVIDING THAT THE ACQUISITION IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST IN
CONFORMANCE WITH SECTION 125.3401, FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING
AUTHORITY TO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION; PROVIDING FOR TERMINATION OF
AUTHORITY OF THE FLORIDA GOVERNMENTAL UTILITY AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE
SERVICE AND INCLUSION OF SERVICE AREA IN THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER -
SEWER DISTRICT SERVICE AREA; AND PROVIDING FOR APPLICABLIITY AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER
COUNTY, FLORIDA, AND EX -OFFICIO AS THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE COLLIER
COUNTY WATER -SEWER DISTRICT AND EX -OFFICIO AS THE GOVERNING BOARD
OF THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER AND SEWER REGULATORY AUTHORITY as
follows:
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY. Pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 2003-353,
Laws of Florida, the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board") of Collier County, Florida,
and ex -officio as the governing board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District (collectively,
the "County") has all of the powers of local self-government to perform County functions and
render services for County purposes. Such power includes the authority to provide water and
wastewater utility services and to acquire facilities to provide such services within the County.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared:
A. The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (the "FGUA") owns and operates a potable
water treatment and distribution system and a wastewater collection, treatment and disposal
system within Collier County (collectively, the "Golden Gate System"). The Golden Gate
System is operated pursuant to Section 163.01(7), Florida Statutes, and the First Amended
and Restated Interlocal Agreement Relating to Establishment of the Florida Governmental
Utility Authority dated December 1, 2000, as it may be amended (the "FGUA Interlocal").
1
Prior to its acquisition by the FGUA in 1999, the Golden Gate System was operated by an
investor-owned private water and wastewater utility company owned by Avatar Holdings,
Inc. ("Avatar").
B. The FGUA acquired the Golden Gate System from Avatar with consent of the County
based upon the terms of an interlocal agreement between the FGUA and the County
approved by County Resolution No. 99-169/Resolution CWS -99-1 issued on March 9,
1999 (the "Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement"). Section 1 of the Golden Gate Interlocal
Agreement reserves to the County the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Golden
Gate System from the FGUA.
C. Section 1(A) of the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement further provides as follows: "The
terms and provisions of such acquisition shall be established pursuant to a utility
acquisition agreement between the [FGUA] and the [County], subject to the terms and
conditions of the Interlocal Agreement and the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing
and unless otherwise agreed to by the [FGUA] and the [County], the purchase price for the
Golden Gate Utility System shall be the amount required to repay the Bonds and any
additional obligations of the [FGUA] related with the Golden Gate Utility System. The
[County] further agrees to negotiate with the [FGUA] for the payment of a pro -rata share
of any reasonable, verified [FGUA] expenses at the time of acquisition by the [County].
The [County] shall also pay all verifiable expenses associated with the transfer of the
Golden Gate Utility System by the [FGUA] to the [County]."
D. Section 1(B) of the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement provides as follows: "The [FGUA]
hereby also grants the [County] the right to assume the [FGUA's] obligations under the
Bonds and the Indenture (or any successor document thereto), all pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in Article VII of the Indenture. Any such assumption by the [County]
shall take place simultaneously with the transfer of the Golden Gate Utility System from
the [FGUA] to the [County]."
E. To provide for the public interest and welfare, the Board generally is required to address
and balance the impacts of growth with the need to provide and plan water production,
treatment and distribution facilities and wastewater collection, treatment, disposal and
reuse facilities which are necessary to accommodate existing development and anticipated
future growth in a manner concurrent with the demand for such facilities.
F. Transition of the Golden Gate System to the Collier County Water -Sewer District is
consistent with the intergovernmental coordination element of the Collier County Growth
Management Plant as such transition represents a cooperative effort between the limited
purpose special district, the FGUA, and Collier County in the planning and provision of
potable water, reclaimed water and the treatment of wastewater generated by existing and
future residents and businesses in the County. Since the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement
was entered by FGUA and the County in 1999, the County has monitored the operation
and improvement by FGUA of the Golden Gate System in contemplation of the eventual
transition of such System to the Collier County Water -Sewer District. The Golden Gate
System currently is surrounded by the Collier County Water -Sewer District's service area.
2
G. Public ownership and control of existing water and wastewater utility systems, including
the Golden Gate System, will provide the opportunity for the County to: (1) further develop
a regional approach to the comprehensive supply, distribution and treatment of water and
the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater; (2) seek economies of scale resulting
from the unified and regional provision of utility services by local government; (3) ensure
that current and future users of the Golden Gate System and other County facilities are
provided with cost efficient services at reasonable rates by local government; (4) ensure
that the operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities is done in a proactive
and environmentally responsible manner; (5) stabilize rates over the long term, reduce
inefficient expansion and extension of service capacities, and avoid the proliferation of
smaller treatment facilities and sites; (6) assure the appropriate expansion and
interconnection of existing facilities and the construction of future facilities in a
coordinated, uniform and non-discriminatory manner; (7) promote the protection and
environmentally sensitive utilization of water supplies, surface water and groundwater
resources in the County and surrounding areas; and (8) accomplish a greater public use and
increased public benefit which will result from the ownership, operation and control of the
Golden Gate System by the County.
H. The provision of water and wastewater services is a major component of infrastructure
coordination. The public ownership and control of the Golden Gate System will enable the
County to more effectively and efficiently plan and fulfill the County's responsibilities
under Florida Statutes to assure that high quality, cost efficient water and wastewater utility
services needed to support new development are available concurrent with the impact of
such development. The acquisition of the Golden Gate System is consistent with the
County's comprehensive plan.
I. Based upon the foregoing, the Board expressly finds that the provision of water and
wastewater utility services in the Golden Gate community by the County constitutes a
public purpose and is in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the County
and its inhabitants. Further, the Board expressly finds that the acquisition and integration
of the Golden Gate System into the Collier County Water -Sewer District is necessary for
the fulfillment of the public purpose of providing a County -owned and operated water and
wastewater utility, and will provide a greater public use and increased public benefit than
the existing use.
SECTION 3. PUBLIC INTEREST DETERMINATION OF PURCHASE. In conformance with
section 125.3401, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 2003-353, Laws of Florida, the Board has
considered the report presented during the hearing from CCWSD staff and retained financial,
engineering and legal experts (attached as Exhibit "A" hereto) addressing the following criteria
mandated for consideration by the Board with respect to the acquisition of the Golden Gate
System:
A. The most recently available income and expense statement of the Golden Gate System;
3
B. The most recently available balance sheet for the Golden Gate System listing the assets
and liabilities and showing the amount of contributions -in -aid -of construction and the
accumulated depreciation thereon;
C. A statement of the existing rate base of the Golden Gate System for regulatory purposes;
D. The physical condition of the Golden Gate System;
E. The reasonableness of the amount to be paid and the terms of the Transition Agreement;
F. The impacts of the contemplated acquisition on utility customers served by the Golden
Gate System as well as utility customers served by the County, both positive and negative;
G. Any additional investment required and the ability and willingness of the County to make
that investment;
H. The alternatives to the contemplated acquisition and the potential impact on utility
customers if the Golden Gate System is not acquired;
I. The ability of the County to provide and maintain high quality and cost-effective utility
service; and
J. A statement prepared by staff of the Collier County Water -Sewer District, together with
reports from financial and engineering experts, showing that: (1) the acquisition of the
Golden Gate System is in the public interest, including a summary of the County's
experience in utility operation; and (2) the County has the financial ability to provide, now
and in the future, high quality and cost-effective utility services to the Golden Gate
community.
The Staff Report concludes with a recommendation that the Board find the acquisition of the
Golden Gate System by the County to be in the public interest based upon an analysis of these
criteria.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE OF RIGHT TO PURCHASE. The Board hereby exercises its right to
acquire the Golden Gate System from the FGUA and states its commitment to cause the Collier
County Water -Sewer District (the "District") to issue Bonds and otherwise render to FGUA such
payments as are necessary to refund all of FGUA's existing Series 2010 Bonds, Series 2012 Bonds
and Series 2015 Bonds. The County currently intends to refund and redeem FGUA's existing SRF
Loans and SunTrust Loan with cash but reserves the right to refund/redeem such Loans through
the issuance of other debt of the District.
SECTION 5. AUTHORITY TO COMPLETE PURCHASE AND SALE. A Transition Agreement
by and between the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, Collier County, Florida, and the
Collier County Water -Sewer District (the "Transition Agreement") is attached as Exhibit "B" to
this Resolution. The Board hereby approves the form thereof and the Board hereby authorizes and
directs the Chair, or the Chair's designee, to execute the Transition Agreement on behalf of the
Board in substantially the form of the Transition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit `B" and to
deliver executed copies of the Transition Agreement to the FGUA. The Board further authorizes
the Chair, the Chair's designee, members of the Board, officers, attorneys and other agents or
employees of the County to do all acts and things required of them by this Resolution and the
a
Transition Agreement, for the full punctual and complete performance of all of the terms,
covenants and agreements contained in this Resolution and the Transition Agreement, and each
member of the Board, officers, attorneys and other agents or employees of the County is hereby
authorized and directed to execute and deliver any and all papers and instruments, asset closing
documents, bonds and bond documents, and to do and cause to be done all acts and things
necessary or proper for carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Resolution and/or the
Transition Agreement.
SECTION 6. APPROVAL OF TRANSITION AS EX OFFICIO GOVERNING BOARD OF THE
COLLIER COUNTY WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY. The transition of the assets of the
Golden Gate System into the Collier County Water -Sewer District pursuant to the Transition
Agreement, having been duly noticed and a hearing held, is hereby found to be in the public interest
and approved as of right pursuant to section 134-369(f) of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of
Collier County, Florida. Any certificate or agreement previously issued to, or entered with, the
FGUA by the Collier County Water and Sewer Authority is terminated effective on the date of the
completion of the transition of the Golden Gate System into the Collier County Water -Sewer
District and the service area of the FGUA related to the Golden Gate System shall become part of
the service area of the Collier County Water -Sewer District on such date.
SECTION 7. APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall be liberally
construed to affect the purposes hereof and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

UTILITY SYSTEM TRANSITION AGREEMENT
This Utility System Transition Agreement is made and entered into this day of
, 2417, by and between the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, as
the governing board of Collier County, Florida, and ex -officio as the governing board of the
Collier County Water -Sewer District, a political subdivision of the State of Florida and a body
corporate and politic created by special law, as codified in Chapter 2003-353, Laws of Florida
(collectively, "CCWSD"), and the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, a public body and
legal entity created by interlocal agreement pursuant to section 163.01(7)(g), Florida Statutes
("FGUA").
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 163.41(7), Florida Statutes, and the First Amended and
Restated Interlocal Agreement Relating to Establishment of the Florida Governmental Utility
Authority dated December I, 2040, as it may be amended ("FGUA Interlocal"), the Board of
Directors of the FGUA has all the powers to carry out the purposes of the FGUA Interlocal,
including the authority to sell or otherwise dispose of the FGUA's water and wastewater utility
facilities and systems; and
WHEREAS, the CCWSD and the FGUA entered an interlocal agreement dated as of
March 1, 1999 (the "Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement"), pursuant to which the County acting
through the CCWSD authorized the FGUA to purchase certain water and wastewater systems
serving the Golden Gate community (the "Golden Gate System") from Avatar Holdings, Inc.
conditioned upon, among other things, the CCWSD retaining the right to acquire the Golden
Gate System from the FGUA at a time of the CC WSD's choosing; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1 of the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement, the
CCWSD has the right to acquire the Golden Gate System, and on June 27, 2017, the County's
Board of County Commissioners, acting ex -officio. as the governing board of the CCWSD,
passed Resolution 2017-123 indicating the CCWSD's desire to make such acquisition and
instructing the CCWSD staff to initiate final due diligence and negotiate the terms of this
Transition Agreement to complete such acquisition; and
WHEREAS, on or about November 14, 2017, said Board of County Commissioners
acting ex -officio as the governing board of the CCWSD, by Resolution 2017- , indicated its
unequivocal intent to exercise its right to acquire the Golden Gate System and to issue the
CCWSD Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the FGUA has issued certain revenue bonds and incurred other
indebtedness which the Golden Gate Interlocal Agreement and Indenture of Trust provides shall
constitute the purchase price to be paid by the CCWSD for the Golden Gate System; and
WHEREAS, the CCWSD and the FGUA desire to enter into this Transition Agreement
to provide for conveyance of the Golden Gate System from the FGUA to the CCWSD and the
disposition of existing FGUA assets and liabilities related to the Golden Gate System;

and the covenants, obligations, duties and benefits herein set forth, the CCWSD and the FGUA
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION
SECTION 1.01. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Transition Agreement, the

already disclosed to CCWSD and described in Appendix "K", it has not been notified of any
claims or disputes with respect to real property or personal property interests necessary to
operate the Golden Gate System which are being conveyed to the CCWSD pursuant to this
Transition Agreement, and that the FGUA shall convey fee simple title to the real property by
special warranty deed.
(B) The FGUA shall provide the CCWSD with copies of any surveys of the FGUA's
real property interests used in connection with the operation of the Golden Gate System that are
in its possession within ten (10) days of the full execution of this Transition Agreement. The
CCWSD shall have the option to order a new or updated boundary survey of any or all real
property being insured by a title insurance policy hereunder. Such new surveys shall be at the
CCWSD's expense and shall meet the minimum Florida standards for boundary surveys. Any
such surveys shall (A) be received not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Transfer Date and
updated thereafter as required by the title insurer; (B) be satisfactory and sufficient for the title
insurer to delete the standard exceptions of title insurance coverage concerning encroachments,
overlays, boundary line disputes or any other adverse matter which would be disclosed by an
accurate survey; (C) be certified as of the then current date to the CCWSD, the FGUA, the title
13
insurance company, the title agent, or any other parties requested by the CCWSD and the title
agent; and (D) show the location of all improvements and easements. Regarding material adverse
matters (i.e., matters that materially interfere with the present use of the real property) disclosed
by such surveys and disclosed to the FGUA, the FGUA will use its reasonable best efforts to
assist the CCWSD in resolving such matters and assist in removing exclusions to coverage on
the title insurance commitment. Costs incurred by the FGUA in providing such assistance are
Transaction Costs as defined in this Transition Agreement.
(C) The CCWSD shall, if it elects to do so, within thirty (30) days from the execution
of this Transition Agreement obtain at its expense a title insurance commitment or commitments
for the real property and other material easement interests as may be identified by the CCWSD
from a Florida licensed title insurer of its choosing. Any such commitment shall, upon
compliance with requirements set forth therein, commit the title insurer to issue a policy under an
ALTA form owner's title insurance policy (the "Title Policy"). The CCWSD shall, within five (5)
days of receiving the jacketed and signed commitment, deliver a copy of same to the FGUA.
Prior to the Transfer Date, the FGUA will use its reasonable best efforts to assist the CCWSD in
resolving any title defects that affect marketability or insurability of title to the interests in real
property to be conveyed to the CCWSD. Costs incurred by the FGUA in providing such
assistance are Transaction Costs as defined in this Transition Agreement.
(D) The estate or interests to be insured by the Title Policy shall consist of all real
property and any easements identified to the insurer by the CCWSD, and which are necessary for
operation of the Golden Gate System.
(E) All charges and costs for the issuance of the owner's title insurance commitments
and policy(ies) shall be paid by the CCWSD.

* The FGUA is also proceeding with installation of an Emergency Generator for the injection pump station which

As of 8/24/2017 all items associated with the administrative order have been completed. Notification and
closeout of the administrative order should be completed sometime in September 2017.
Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plantes Dual Zone Monitoring Well
A notice was received from the FDEP dated September 1, 2015 regarding concerns with
monitoring data from the FGUA Golden Gate WTP and the WWTP CIass I Injection System. Data from
the zones being monitored indicate that similar water quality parameters exist in zones that previously had
been different. FDEP's concerns relate to possible malfunctioning of the well such that it cannot reliably
monitor for fluid movement, and or that fluid movement may be occurring.
FGUA Consultant CDM Smith conducted a field study and prepared a technical evaluation dated
December 16, 2016. Video inspection indicated no mechanical defects in the well and no corrective
actions are recommended to the dual zone monitoring well. The evaluation also concluded that it is highly
unlikely that operating pressures would initiate fracturing in the confining zone above the injection
interval. It is possible that natural leakance is occurring between the monitored intervals. The evaluation
recommends that geochemical evaluation of the monitor zone water quality data be conducted, involving
sampling of the comingled waste stream and tracing parameters such as phosphorus and radionuclides.
Work authorization No. CDM 17-01 was issued to CDM Smith to prepare a written tracer study
for the evaluation of the potential hydraulic connection between the Class I Injection Well and the lower
monitoring zones in the on-site dual zone monitoring well. As of 8/24/2017 the draft written tracer study
has been completed by CDM and discussions have been held with FDEP regarding the plan. Direction
was given by FDEP and the final tracer plan is being prepared. Upon completion of the written tracer plan
there will be a 6-12 month evaluation/sampling period. It is possible that upon conclusion of the tracer
study, there may be no clear indication as to the cause of the water quality issues. It is uncertain what
requirements, if any, the FDEP may impose on the facility, but it could include a new replacement
monitor well, or that high level disinfection be implemented at the wastewater plant.
Golden Gate Water Treatment Plant — Water Quality
The Golden Gate WTP and water system strives to keep water quality within acceptable limits to
meet all lead and copper rule requirements. As background, corrosion has exceeded certain allowable
limits and as a result the FGUA was required to perform more frequent lead and copper sampling and
monitoring. In addition, a corrosion control system is required to be implemented to address the water
quality issues.
As background, the FGUA completed a Water Quality Analysis project in 2013 with FGUA
consultant Tetra Tech that recommended various chemical process modifications to address water quality
issues at the plant. The FGUA initiated a chemical conversion project for disinfection that involved
switching from anhydrous ammonia to ammonium sulfate. The work was accomplished with contract
operator US Water Services 1 Wade Trim through Work Authorization USWWT #16-44 and was
completed and put into operation in October 2015.
The FGUA further evaluated water quality related to results from its sampling and monitoring
plan required by the lead and copper rule. With the assistance of the Florida Rural Water Association, the
FGUA subsequently prepared and implemented a corrosion control treatment project in 2016 through
Work Authorization USWWT #'s 16-193 and 16-286. The work included a new chemical feed system for
sodium hydroxide which was completed in January 2017 and is currently in operation. Additional lead
and copper sampling will continue to be imposed on the system until a track record of staying within
allowable limits has been established

Memorandum — Plan of Finance
To: Collier County, Florida
From: PFM Financial Advisors LLC
Re: Updated Memorandum -- Acquisition of Golden Gate Utility, Plan of Finance
Please consider this updated memorandum discussing two scenarios to refinance and restructure all of
the Golden Gate Utility Authority senior lien debt obligations. The primary update to this memorandum, in
addition to providing for current market interest rates, is the consideration to refinance all three of the
existing bonds, rather than refinancing portions and assuming other portions.
It is our understanding upon reviewing the available documentation and discussions with the County's
bond counsel that the GGUA bonds and loans were issued with the appropriate disclosures and
mechanism to be acquired in their entirety by the County. In the simplest terms, in order to effectuate the
acquisition the County would issue a bond (covenant) to the GGUA assuming the payment responsibility
for the outstanding debt, however the bonds and loans themselves would remain as -is (no change in
investor holdings). The outstanding GGUA debt is as follows:
• Series 2010 Bonds, outstanding principal amount of $6,315,000
■ Series 2012 Bonds, outstanding principal amount of $16,040,000
• Series 2015 Bonds, outstanding principal amount of $12,605,000
• 2016 SunTrust Loan, outstanding principal amount of $2,265,100
• Two (2) SRF Loans, combined outstanding principal amount of $1,433,653.28
For purposes of this memorandum, we have considered a consolidated alternative which contemplates
refinancing and restructuring 100% of the senior obligations (the series 2010, 2012, and 2015 bonds). As
such the County's Utility can realize overall Net Present Value Savings by virtue of reducing the interest
rate on the debt, and shortening the final maturities on the GGUA bonds to better align with the County
Utility's overall debt structure. In order to provide some context for the sensitivity to market conditions, we
also performed the same analysis with the assumption that actual interest rates on the refinancing were
25 basis points (0.25%) higher at the time of execution.
The results indicate that the restructuring transaction, inclusive of refinancing all three existing series' of
bonds, would produce positive Net Present Value Savings ranging from 9.7% using current market rates,
or 6.8% after adding 25bps to current market indications. Similarly as discussed previously, restructuring
the GGUA debt to shorten the final term will result in dis-savings in the early years ranging from $340,000
to $2.08 million when compared to the existincl GGUA debt schedules. It's important to note however that
the County is not beholden to the prior term issued by GGUA, and should evaluate the transaction from
the standpoint of the Utility's own ability to service the additional debt over this shorter term. To that
point, please review schedule 2 and 3 on the following pages which aggregate the County's total annual
debt commitments after acquisition of the GGUA. A summary of the results of the analysis is also
provided in Table 1 below.
We look forward to continuing the dialogue with the County and refining the plan of finance based on
market conditions at the time of acquisition. Please contact us should you have any questions or desire
any additional analysis.

Chairman and Members, Board of Directors
Florida Governmental Utility Authority
1500 Mahan Drive, Suite 250
Tallahassee, FL 32308
Florida State law requires that all units of local government publish a complete set of financial
statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified
public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of
the Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 is
hereby submitted. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the management of the FGUA. To
the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is
reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the
FGUA. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the FGUA’s
financial activities have been included.
The Florida Governmental Utility Authority’s financial statements have been audited by James
Moore & Co. P.L., a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent
audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Florida Governmental
Utility Authority for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, are free of material misstatement.
The independent audit involved examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The
independent auditor concluded, based on the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unqualified (“clean”) opinion that the Florida Governmental Utility Authority’s financial
statements for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2016, are fairly presented in conformance with
GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section
of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of 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 Florida Governmental Utility Authority’s MD&A can be found immediately following the
report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
The FGUA exists as a legal entity and public body pursuant to Chapters 125, 163 and 166, Florida
Statutes, and a First Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement dated as of December 1, 2000, as
restated, amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Interlocal Agreement”) by and among
Citrus County, Nassau County, Polk County and Sarasota County, each a local government located
in the State of Florida. Sarasota County and Nassau County have since terminated their
membership in the Authority. Osceola County joined as a member in 2003 and has since terminated
its membership in the Authority. Lee County joined as a member on October 18, 2005, Pasco
County joined as a member on February 27, 2008, Hendry County joined as a member on February
21, 2008, and Marion County joined as a member on November 21, 2013. The Town of Dundee
joined as a member on June 12, 2007 and has since terminated membership in the Authority.
Desoto County joined as a member on February 19, 2009 and terminated its membership in
November 2015. Citrus County, Hendry County, Lee County, Pasco County, Polk County and
Marion County are the current counties who are Members in the FGUA. The purpose of the FGUA
is to enable its members to make the most efficient use of their common power to acquire, own,
improve, operate, and maintain water and wastewater facilities; however, Authority membership is
not a prerequisite to the acquisition of property within any particular jurisdiction.
The FGUA does not have any employees. All services are provided on a contractual basis
predicated on the management and operational needs of the FGUA. Overall management (including
executive oversight, administration, financial management, capital planning, and construction
contract supervision) is provided by Government Services Group, Inc. Daily operations,
maintenance, customer service, and billing services are provided by US Water/Wade Trim, with the
exception of services at MacDill AFB Utility System which are provided by US Water Services
Corporation.
The FGUA began its operational and fiscal activities on the date of acquisition of five water and
wastewater systems on April 15, 1999. These systems were acquired from Florida Cities Water
Company and Poinciana Utilities, Inc., units of Avatar Properties, Inc. A sixth system located in
Lee County was part of the acquisition discussions, but was directly purchased by Lee County on
April 15, 1999. The Barefoot Bay Utility System was transferred to Brevard County in February
2000. The Sarasota Utility System was transferred to Sarasota County on August 8, 2002. On
December 5, 2003, the FGUA completed the purchase of two additional utility systems from Florida
Water Services Corporation, the Citrus County Utility System and the Lehigh Acres Utility System
(Lee County). On March 31, 2004, the FGUA sold its Carrollwood Utility System water production
wells to the Tampa Bay Water Authority and its water distribution system and wastewater
collection system to Hillsborough County, ending its ownership in the Carrollwood Utility System.
Continuing with the FGUA’s purpose to transition utility activities from the private sector to public
ownership and operation, the Citrus Utility System was transitioned to Citrus County on February
15, 2007. Shortly thereafter, on April 30, 2007, the Poinciana Utility System was transitioned to
the Tohopekaliga Water Authority. On February 27, 2009, the FGUA purchased the Aloha Utilities
Inc. water and wastewater systems (Aloha Gardens and Seven Springs), collectively called the
FGUA Pasco Utility Systems. On December 23, 2009, the FGUA acquired the Consolidated Utility
Systems. On March 10, 2010, the FGUA acquired the Lindrick Utility System and on July 29,
2010, the FGUA acquired the North Fort Myers Utility System. On June 17, 2010, the Authority
accepted and approved a contract with the United States Government for the acquisition of the
water and wastewater utility facilities at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB). The effective date of this
acquisition was March 1, 2011, after the transition period which ended February 28, 2011. On June
28, 2012, the FGUA acquired the Mad Hatter and Paradise Lakes Utility Systems which are located
in Pasco County, and combined them into the FGUA’s Consolidated Utility Systems enterprise
- 3 -
fund. On March 28, 2013, the FGUA acquired certain water and wastewater utility assets owned by
Aqua Utilities Florida, Inc. and Crystal River Utilities, Inc. located in Pasco, Lake, Alachua, Citrus,
Hardee, Lee, Marion, Orange, Polk, Seminole, Volusia and Putnam Counties, Florida. These
system were separated into three separate enterprise funds; Lake Aqua Utility System, Pasco Aqua
Utility System, and Unified Aqua Utility System. As of September 30, 2016, the FGUA consisted
of ten separate water and wastewater systems located in fourteen counties in Florida. Each of the
systems is accounted for as a separate enterprise fund of the FGUA. One enterprise fund continues
to be maintained for the Barefoot Bay System to account for the Revenue Bond Payable used to
acquire the system and Revenue Bond Receivable used by Brevard County to pay for their purchase
of the system from the FGUA. There is also a Non-System Specific enterprise fund for the other
minor contractual services provided by the FGUA.
GOLDEN GATE UTILITY SYSTEM
SERVICE AREA
Golden Gate is located north and east of I-75 between the Golden Gate main canal and CR 951,
approximately four miles east of the City of Naples in western Collier County. Golden Gate
occupies just more than four square miles of developed urban residential and light-commercial
property.
The majority of properties are single-family residential. Commercial development consists of
support services to the surrounding residents. The Collier County Water-Sewer District surrounds
the Golden Gate system on all sides.
Approximately half of Golden Gate is served with public water service, while less than half of
Golden Gate is served by central sewer. Those residents who are currently not connected use
private wells and septic tanks. The oldest water and sewer lines were installed in 1964.
Half of the southeast quarter of Golden Gate is comprised of a golf course, to which water and
sewer service is provided and on which a water treatment plant is located. The remaining area in
the southeast quarter is served with water and sewer. The FGUA continues to expand the water
service area since additional water treatment capacity is available.
SYSTEM OPERATIONS
Water Treatment
The original water plant, constructed in 1965 and 1966, was a metal lime-softening treatment plant.
This facility was expanded in 1989 to a lime-softening plant capacity of 1.224 MGD. In July 2000,
a 0.25-MGD reverse osmosis (RO) system was put on line at the existing water treatment plant site.
In 2004, a 0.250 MGD - RO system was put on line for a total treatment capacity of 1.70 MGD. In
2006 a phase 3 - RO system of 0.300 MGD was put on line. In 2009 TUB was converted from a
0.504 MGD lime softening unit into a raw water blend. The total production capacity of the Golden
Gate system is now 2.099 MGD (0.720 MGD lime softening, 0.504 MGD raw blend and 0.875
MGD RO). All WTP expansion is contingent upon system growth.

As shown in Table 1, plant flows averaged 1.516 MGD in fiscal year 2016 – 72% of the plant
capacity

Wastewater Treatment
The wastewater treatment plant, which is located next to the Golden Gate canal, is a 1.50 MGD
annual average daily flow conventional activated sludge domestic WWTP with effluent disposal to
on-site percolation ponds and a deep injection well. The original plant was constructed in 1966 with
a capacity of 0.3 MGD and was upgraded to 0.4 MGD in the 1980s and then again in 1995 to 0.95
MGD and in 2009 to its current capacity of 1.50 MGD AADF & 1.80 MGD TMADF.
The annual average daily flow was 1.104 MGD in fiscal year 2016 – 74% of the plant capacity. The
permit to operate the DIW was issued in fiscal year 2012. The DIW and associated dedicated RO
brine concentrate line are currently in service. The RO brine concentrate bypasses the WWTP and
is sent directly down the DIW.

LEHIGH ACRES UTILITY SYSTEM
SERVICE AREA
Lehigh Acres is in the eastern portion of Lee County, Florida, located east of State Road 82 and
south of State Road 80. Fort Myers is the largest population center located due west of Lehigh
Acres. Lehigh Acres occupies approximately 94.9 square miles of developed residential and light
commercial property. The majority of properties are zoned single family residential. Duplex
residential and light commercial properties are located along the main roadways. Originally
designed as a retirement community, Lehigh Acres has grown in population to over 86,784 full and
seasonal residents according to the 2010 US Census. Less than 50 percent of Lehigh Acres is
served by public water service, with 38 percent served by central wastewater service. The Florida

SYSTEM OPERATIONS
Water Treatment
The FGUA operates one (1) 3.10 MGD lime softening water treatment plant (WTP No. 1) that
includes thirteen (13) raw water wells that supply all water to the Lehigh Acres Utility System.
This supply can be supplemented if needed by an interconnect with the City of Fort Myers. There
are two (2) onsite storage tanks, one (1) 1.0 million gallon and one (1) 0.5 million gallon ground
storage tanks and two (2) offsite storage tanks including one (1) elevated tank with a capacity of
0.25 million gallons and one (1) ground storage tank with a capacity of 0.5 million gallons.
Due to high levels of total dissolved solids from the wells associated with WTP No. 2 FGUA
completed the conversion of WTP No. 2 to a Booster Station in FY 2013. WTP No. 2 includes a 2.0
MG onsite storage tank. WTP No. 2 now receives all water from WTP No. 1, Chlorine and
Ammonia residuals are adjusted at WTP No. 2 to ensure adequate treatment is provided for the
water that is sent to the Southern portion of the Lehigh Acres service area.
Eventually when growth resumes in Lehigh Acres, WTP No. 2 will be modified to include Reverse
Osmosis Treatment. Plans call for WTP No. 2 to eventually be expanded to 10.0 MGD and will
provide for all future growth in Lehigh Acres. For the time being until growth resumes WTP No. 2
will be operated as a booster station.

Conversion of WTP No. 2 to a booster station was completed in fiscal year 2013 and the permitted
treatment capacity was reduced from 4.10 to 3.10 MGD. This treatment capacity can be
supplemented if needed via the City of Fort Myers interconnect.
Wastewater Treatment
The FGUA operates one wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with a permitted capacity of 3.0 MGD
AADF & 4.30 MGD TMADF. The WWTP also includes a deep injection well (DIW) with a
permitted disposal capacity of 18.6 MGD which will allow for all future expansions of the WWTP.
The plant is comprised of two (2) separate plants which include contact stabilization and activated
sludge process plants. The Zenon membrane plant was demolished during FY 2015 as part of the
Headworks Capital Improvement Project. The WWTP produces public access quality reclaimed
water that is used for irrigation on three area golf courses. During periods of wet weather the
effluent is diverted to extensive onsite ponds for storage, percolation and evaporation. The DIW is
also used for effluent disposal during wet weather.

PASCO UTILITY SYSTEM – ALOHA GARDENS & SEVEN SPRINGS
SERVICE AREA
The physical facilities of the Pasco Utility System are located in two distinct service areas, the
Aloha Gardens service area and the Seven Springs service area. The Pasco Utility systems are
located in Pasco County, immediately north of Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, with the Aloha
Gardens service area west of U.S. Highway 19 and the Seven Springs service area to the east of U.S.
Highway 19.
The Aloha Gardens water system consists of three water treatment plants, plants 1, 3 and 8;
although at present only WTP No. 8 is in service. The Aloha Gardens system receives additional
water purchased from Pasco County through three interconnects with the County Utility system.
Wastewater from the Aloha Gardens service area is sent to Pasco County for treatment through a
bulk service agreement. Since the Aloha Gardens service area is built out, the agreement is
sufficient for future wastewater treatment needs of this area.
The Seven Springs water system consists of one centralized WTP with a permitted treatment
capacity of 2.90 MGD and includes 7 permitted wells. The Seven Springs water system is also
interconnected with Pasco County and is required to purchase all water needed above the 2.289
MGD AADF WUP limitation. The Seven Springs wastewater treatment plant is permitted at 2.50
MGD and is currently operating within its permitted capacity.
Aloha Gardens Water Treatment
The Aloha Gardens water system consists of one active WTP (#8). The Aloha Gardens system
receives additional water purchased from Pasco County through three interconnects with the County
Utility system.
As shown in Table 5, Aloha Gardens flows averaged 0.424 MGD in FY 2016. The majority of
water used in the Aloha Gardens service area was purchased from Pasco County due to water
quality issues with the existing wells.

LINDRICK UTILITY SYSTEM
SERVICE AREA
The Lindrick service area is comprised of approximately 3.24 square miles and consists of a
population of approximately 4,600 people. The majority of the Lindrick service area is located west
of US-19 on Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coastline.
Lindrick’s water supply comes from the Floridan Aquifer. The water system serves its customers
with eight permitted supply wells under Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD)
water use permit number 2978.013. The majority of customers served are residential.
Flows from the 19 lift stations in the Lindrick wastewater collection system are sent to the City of
New Port Richey wastewater treatment plant under a bulk wastewater service agreement. The
current agreement is in effect until July 1, 2021, and allows up to 700,000 gallons per day of
treatment capacity. Under the terms of the agreement with the City of New Port Richey, the
Lindrick system must maintain the chloride levels below 600 mg/l and use its best efforts to achieve
chloride levels of 400 mg/l. Chloride levels in the Lindrick wastewater system fluctuated between
317 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and 1,542 mg/L during FY 2016. In FY 2011 FGUA initiated a
project to identify problem areas in the collection system and then to rehabilitate any pipes or
facilities that might contribute to brackish ground water or salt water introduction into the collection
system.
This project was completed in FY 2014 / FY2015 and the chloride levels were 455 mg/L and 432
mg/L in 2014 and 2015, respectively. However, in FY 2016 chloride levels have begun to increase
again and chloride levels averaged 736 mg/L which exceeded the agreement limits with the city of
New Port Richey. FGUA initiated additional collection system repairs along Leeward Way, of
which repairs carried forward into FY 2017. Due to the proximity of the Lindrick system with the
Gulf of Mexico this issue will likely continue for the length of the agreement with the city of New
Port Richey.
Water Treatment
The Lindrick system organized in 1960 to serve the Gulf Harbor Development and was acquired by
the Lindrick Service Corporation in 1965. In November 2002 Lindrick Service Corporation began
purchasing water from Pasco Reserve Corp. to supplement its water supply. Subsequently on
November 9, 2009 ownership of the Lindrick Utility System and Pasco Reserve well field /
transmission lines was transferred to the FGUA.
The Lindrick system consists of six (6) permitted production wells (No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8). Wells No. 1
and 7 are currently out of service. Well No. 1 includes a 10,000 gallon hydropneumatic tank, Well
No. 4 includes a 6,000 gallon hydropneumatic tank, and Well No. 5 includes a 5,000 gallon
hydropneumatic tank.
Water from all wells is conveyed to a centralized treatment system located at Well No. 1.
Ammonium Sulfate and Liquid Chlorine is injected for disinfection.
As shown in Table 9, plant flows averaged 0.569 MGD in fiscal year 2016 – 65% of the permitted
raw water withdrawals.

The Lindrick wastewater collection system serves a population of approximately 4,600 people and
consists of approximately 550 manholes, 137,500 feet of gravity sewer and nineteen (19) lift
stations. Lift station No. 17 is a triplex station with three pumps and all other stations are dual
pump submersible type.
The wastewater from the Lindrick area is pumped to the old Lindrick WWTP which has been
converted to a “Master Lift Station” (No. 17). From the master lift station it is sent to the City of
New Port Richey WWTP for treatment and disposal under a Bulk Wastewater Treatment Agreement
which allows up to 700,000 GPD of treatment capacity. The bulk wastewater agreement was
reduced from 850,000 GPD to the current 700,000 GPD in fiscal year 2013. The current ADF being
sent to the City of New Port Richey is within the Bulk Wastewater Treatment Agreement and should
provide enough capacity into the 10 year planning period.

FGUA currently owns and operates twenty-five (25) water treatment plants (WTPs) and seven (7)
wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) in Lake County, Florida consisting of both residential and
commercial customers.
SYSTEM OPERATIONS
Water Treatment
The water treatment systems provide potable drinking water to approximately 5,040 customers.
Most of the water systems are relatively small, with 16 of the 25 systems serving 200 connections or
less. Nine of the water treatment systems serve a customer base that ranges from 200 to 400
connections. The largest system in the group (Silver Lake Estates Water Treatment Plant) has a
treatment capacity of 0.629 million gallons per day (MGD). Each water treatment system utilizes
one or two water supply wells, most of which are permitted by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and have a Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) from the St. Johns River
Water Management District (SJRWMD).

PASCO AQUA UTILITY SYSTEM
SERVICE AREA
The FGUA Pasco Aqua Utility System is comprised of three potable water systems that serve
approximately 3,272 connections, primarily residential. Two of these systems, Jasmine Lakes and
Zephyr Shores have their own water treatment plants (WTPs) while the third system, Palm Terrace,
purchases water from Pasco County Utilities and requires no additional treatment before distribution
to its customers. FGUA uses both treated groundwater and purchased water to serve its customers
in the Pasco Aqua Utility System.
Jasmine Lakes
The Jasmine Lakes Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is located at 7612 Pineapple Lane in Port Richey.
Four (4) groundwater supply wells, referenced as the Oak Hill and Hickory Hill wells, provide the
source of water for the Jasmine Lakes WTP.
Jasmine Lakes WTP has four groundwater wells that pump water into a 500,000 gallon, concrete
ground storage tank for raw water storage. The raw water is treated by chlorination after it is
pumped from the ground storage tank and receives disinfection contact time in a 20,000 gallon
hydropneumatic tank prior to entering the distribution system. The hydropneumatic tank does not
contain air, so it is acting solely as a contact tank.
The Jasmine Lakes WWTF is a Type II extended aeration domestic wastewater treatment facility
located at 1000 Holly Lane in Port Richey. The WWTF has a capacity of 370,000 gallons per day
(gpd) permitted on the basis of a three-month rolling average daily flow (3MRAF). It is limited to
308,000 gpd annual average daily flow (AADF) however due to limited effluent disposal.
- 19 -
Palm Terrace
Palm Terrace Gardens is located north of the Jasmine Lakes utility system in Port Richey, and is a
consecutive system that purchases all of its water from Pasco County Utilities.
The Palm Terrace Gardens WWTF is located at 116 Arbordale Drive in New Port Richey, and has a
permitted AADF capacity of 130,000 gallons per day (gpd). The facility is permitted in terms of
annual average daily flow (AADF) and is a Type II, extended aeration domestic wastewater
treatment facility.
Zephyr Shores
The Zephyr Shores water treatment plant is located at 35235 State Road 54 in Zephyrhills. The
WTP is served by two (2) water supply wells that are located on the plant site.
Zephyr Shores WTP has two wells that pump water into a hydropneumatic tank. The system was
recently converted to chloramines and the emergency interconnect with Pasco County was
rehabilitated.
The Zephyr Shores wastewater system is a collection system only. Wastewater is sent to Pasco
County Utilities for treatment.
SYSTEM OPERATIONS
As shown in Table 17, all Pasco Aqua System plant flows were under capacity with the exception of
Zephyr Shores which was at 118% of its WUP limit.

UNIFIED AQUA UTILITY SYSTEM
SERVICE AREA
The FGUA owns and operates 43 water treatment systems and 12 wastewater systems located
throughout various Florida counties which include Alachua, Citrus, Hardee, Lee, Marion, Orange,
Polk, Putnam, Seminole, and Volusia Counties. These facilities are collectively referred to as the
Unified Systems.
SYSTEM OPERATIONS
Water Treatment
Permitted capacities for the water treatment systems range from a minimum of 21,096 gpd (Putnam
County) to a maximum of 541,589 gpd (Seminole County). Twelve (12) of the water systems do
not have consumptive use permits due either to the smaller size of their system or because the
facility purchases water from a neighboring utility. Most of the water facilities are relatively small
with 31 systems serving 200 connections or less. Seven (7) of the water treatment systems serve
between 200 and 400 connections while the largest system in the group (Seminole County -
Chuluota) has a permitted capacity of 0.542 million gallons per day (MGD) and serves 1,410
connections. Each water treatment system utilizes one or two water supply wells, most which are
permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and have a Consumptive Use
Permit (CUP) from one of the Florida Water Management Districts (WMDs).
As shown in Table 19, all Unified System plant flows were under capacity with the exception of the
Twin Rivers WTP which is slightly over capacity.

Wastewater Treatment
The twelve wastewater systems range in size from 12,000 to 264,000 gpd. The collections systems
which serve these facilities include approximately 166,000 linear feet of gravity mains and force
mains in addition to associated pump stations. Two of the wastewater systems (Lake Gibson and
Beecher’s Point) pump flows to a neighboring utility for treatment and disposal. The remaining ten
systems in the group have treatment facilities consisting of extended aeration process treatment for
domestic wastewater using chlorine disinfection for final treatment prior to effluent discharge.
Depending on the facility, effluent disposal consists of using permitted reuse facilities comprised of
rapid infiltration basins, percolation ponds, holding ponds and sprayfields spray irrigation (golf
course), or through an existing reclaimed water agreement (City of Oviedo).
As shown in Table 20, all Unified System plant flows were under capacity with the exception of the
Village Water WWTP which is slightly over capacity.

*Lake Gibson is an Interconnected System
** Florida Central Commerce Park WWTP decommissioned in Sept 2016 and interconnected with the city
of Longwood.
The Unified Aqua Utility System served a total of 7,699 water customer accounts and 1,992
wastewater customer accounts as of September 30, 2016.
Economic Condition
The information presented in the financial statement is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the FGUA utility
systems are located.
Both the Lehigh Acres system and the North Fort Myers system are located in Lee County, which
had been one of the fastest growing regions in the nation until the downturn in the housing market.
According to data from the Florida Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Lee
County’s population was anticipated to increase from 618,754 in 2010 to 680,539 in 2016, an
increase of 10.0%. The increase in the number of housing units permitted in Lee County increased
from 4,095 in 2014 to 6,879 in 2015, an increase of 67.99%. The unemployment rate continued to
decline from the peak of 12.6% in 2010 to 5.0% in 2015. Recent foreclosure information suggests
that the housing market is slowly improving, but significant recovery may take a number of years.
Personal bankruptcy filings improved from 2.29 per 1,000 of population in 2015 to 1.58 per 1,000
of population as of September 30, 2016. The two Lee County systems have a significant amount of
undeveloped land for future growth and expansion.
- 23 -
The Golden Gate System is located in Collier County. There is limited potential for new residential
and commercial growth with the Golden Gate service area. According to data from the Florida
Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Collier County’s population was
anticipated to increase from 321,500 in 2010 to 350,202 in 2016, an increase of 8.9%. The increase
in the number of housing units permitted in Collier County increased from 3,310 in 2014 to 4,060 in
2015, an increase of 12.47%. The unemployment rate continued to decline from the peak of 11.6%
in 2010 to 5.2% in 2015. Personal bankruptcy filings improved from 2.68 per 1,000 of population
in 2015 to 1.37 per 1,000 of population as of September 30, 2016.
The Pasco, Lindrick, Consolidated and Pasco Aqua Utility Systems are located in Pasco County.
According to data from the Florida Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research,
Pasco County’s population is anticipated to increase from 464,697 in 2010 to 495,868 in 2016, an
increase of 6.7%. The number of housing units permitted in Pasco County decreased from 2,785 in
2014 to 2,639 in 2015, a decrease of (5.2%). The unemployment rate continued to decline from the
peak of 11.9% in 2010 to 5.8% in 2015. Personal bankruptcy filings continued to improve from
2.72 per 1,000 of population in 2015 to 2.37 per 1,000 of population as of September 30, 2016.
Again, recent data suggests an improvement in market conditions. Portions of the FGUA service
areas in Pasco County (Seven Springs) have significant potential for future growth and
development, while others have limited growth opportunities.
The Lake Aqua Utility Systems are located in Lake County. The FGUA service area within Lake
County is largely built out and has limited growth opportunities. According to data from the Florida
Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Lake County’s population is
anticipated to increase from 297,047 in 2010 to 323,985 in 2016, an increase of 9.1%. The number
of housing units permitted in Lake County increased from 2,488 in 2014 to 2,778 in 2015, an
increase of 11.7%. The unemployment rate continued to decline from the peak of 11.8% in 2010 to
5.4% in 2015. Personal bankruptcy filings continued to improve from 3.07 per 1,000 of population
in 2015 to 2.45 per 1,000 of population as of September 30, 2016.
The Unified Aqua Utility System is spread throughout 10 different Florida Counties. A majority of
the customers are located within Seminole County and Polk County. According to released data
from the Florida Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Florida’s population
is anticipated to increase by 311,405 from 2015 to 2020. The number of housing units permitted in
Florida is back in positive territory, showing continued strong growth throughout the State. The
unemployment rate continued to decline from the peak of 10.5% in 2010 to 4.9% as of September
30, 2015.
Internal Control
In developing and evaluating the FGUA’s accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition; and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial
statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that: (a) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived there
from; and (b) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
management. We believe all internal control evaluations occur within the above framework and that
the FGUA’s internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable
assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
- 24 -
Budgetary Control
The FGUA maintains a system of budgetary controls. The objective of these controls is to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the
Board. The level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally
exceed the appropriated amount) is at the fund level. The FGUA also maintains an encumbrance
system as one method of maintaining budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year end;
however, outstanding encumbrances are re-appropriated as part of the following year’s budget.
The budget process begins in the spring, when the staff develops proposed capital projects and
operating budgets, with input from the Capital Program and Operations Managers and the Contract
Operator. A planning retreat by the Board of Directors and senior staff is conducted in February or
March of each year and is used to establish or update long-range system goals. Detailed budgets are
presented by staff to the Systems Manager in late May. The System Manager’s budget is forwarded
to the Board of Directors in June. Any adjustments to the budget, to include public hearings for any
necessary rate changes, are typically conducted in August and September. The Board of Directors
approves the final budget at a public hearing in September for the new fiscal year that begins
October 1.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the
FGUA meets its responsibility for sound financial management.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
Capital Improvement Program – The FGUA has adopted a five-year Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) for the years 2017 to 2021, which outlines additions and improvements to its utility systems.
The FGUA reviews and updates this five-year plan annually, authorizing appropriations for those
projects scheduled to be started during the ensuing fiscal year. The cost of all new projects for
fiscal year 2017 is approximately $18.9 million, and is estimated to total $60.0 million for the fiscal
years 2017 – 2021. The CIP for each system is segregated into five major program areas, as
follows:
Wastewater Collection – This program calls for improvements to existing wastewater lines as well
as the addition of new lines as the customer base increases. This program also calls for renewal of
the existing system by repairing lines that allow infiltration/inflow and the rehabilitation of lift
stations.
Wastewater Treatment Facilities/Disposal – This program seeks to increase existing capacity as
well as upgrade existing facilities. The objectives of this program are to promote reuse of reclaimed
water, protect the environment, ensure that treatment capacity is available for growth, and ensure
that facilities are in compliance with regulations of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Water Treatment Facilities (Water Production/Treatment) – This program ensures that the FGUA is
able to deliver water to its customers during peak periods by expanding current production
capabilities. This program also includes a comprehensive renewal program which provides for
maintenance of water tanks, well pump facilities, well power systems, and filtration equipment.
Water Distribution – This program calls for improvements to existing water lines as well as the
addition of new lines as the customer base increases.
- 25 -
Meters – In order to maintain accurate water usage data for appropriate billing and reporting, the
FGUA replaces meters each year. Most residential meters are replaced at ten years of age. Larger
meters need to be replaced more frequently.
General Projects – Specific project cost centers are created for special large projects as needed.
The successful implementation of FGUA’s Capital Improvement Program calls for a portion of
funding to be provided through existing balances of construction funds from bonds, with the
remaining amounts to be funded from operating revenues and impact fees.
Financial Policies
In January 2009, the FGUA Board approved a Net Asset (Working Capital) Policy in order to
maintain and improve financial stability and manage its financial resources for its various
enterprise funds to: (1) provide sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs, (2) secure and
maintain the highest possible investment grade bond ratings, (3) position properly for significant
economic downturns or revenue shortfalls, and (4) provide funds for unforeseen expenditures
related to emergencies.
The FGUA’s investment policy is designed to minimize credit and market risk while maintaining a
competitive yield on its investments. As of the end of the Fiscal Year all deposits were entirely
covered by either federal depository insurance or pooled collateral held by the State Treasurer
pursuant to Chapter 280, Florida Statutes.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
fourteenth consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the
Florida Governmental Utility Authority for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated
services of the financial staff. Appreciation is expressed to all those who assisted and contributed to
its preparation and to the Board for its interest and support in planning and conducting the
operations of the FGUA in a responsible manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors,
Florida Governmental Utility Authority:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities and each major
fund of Florida Governmental Utility Authority (the Authority), as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Authority’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
- 30 -
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the business-type activities and each major fund of the Authority, as of
September 30, 2016 , and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting
for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The introductory and statistical sections are presented
for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The introductory section and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 10,
2017, on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
As management of the Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA), we offer readers of the FGUA’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2016. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be
found in the introductory section of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
he assets and deferred
outflows of the FGUA
exceeded its liabilities
and deferred inflows at the
close of fiscal year 2016 by
$78,486,941 as the chart to the
right indicates. Of this amount,
$52,844,021 may be used to
meet the FGUA’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and
creditors (Unrestricted Net
Position). This is an increase of
$10,428,714 or 25% in
unrestricted net position from
the prior year.
GUA’s total net position increased by $14 million in fiscal year 2016. As the chart on the next
page indicates, all systems net positions increased as follows:
• The MacDill AFB Utility System contributed $4.6 million or 32.6% of the increase in total net
position, primarily thanks to capital grants.
• The Consolidated Utility System contributed $1.7 million or 12.4% of the increase in total net
position.
• The Golden Gate Utility System contributed $1.7 million or 12% of the increase in total net
position.
• The Lehigh Utility System contributed $1.5 million or 11% of the increase in total net position,
primarily because of cost saving from bond refunding.
• The Lake Aqua, Pasco Aqua, and Unified Aqua Utility Systems contributed a combined $1.5
million or 10.5% of the increase in total net position.
• The North Fort Myers Utility System contributed $1.5 million or 10.4% of the increase in total
net position.
• The Pasco Utility System contributed $1.2 million or 8.4% of the increase in total net position.
• The Lindrick Utility System contributed $322,996 or 2.3% of the increase in total net position.
• The Authority has one non-specific fund that pre-pays expenses, and then is reimbursed by the
appropriate enterprise funds upon determination of a reasonable allocation basis. It also pays for
the rare non-allocable expenses for minor contractual services provided to the Authority. This
fund had an increase in net position of $57,484, which increased the FGUA total net position by
0.4%.

Increase (decrease) in Net Position by System
for the Year Ending September 30, 2016
he net decrease in total debt as of September 30, 2016 was $15,670,608. As the chart on the next
page indicates, the Lehigh Utility system had the greatest decrease in debt ($15.6 million). The
proceeds from the Lehigh Series 2014 Refunding Revenue Bonds ($19.6 million) were placed into
an Escrow Deposit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank on October 8, 2014 (FY 2015), and were paid out
to the series 2005 bondholders on October 1, 2015 (FY 2016).
The Barefoot Bay Utility System is treated like a custodial fund, where FGUA records the outstanding
debt, along with the restricted assets secured to pay the debt as it becomes due. In fiscal year 2016,
principal payments reduced the debt in this system by $530,000.
While most of the utility systems experienced a decrease in total debt, Golden Gate, Lehigh, North Fort
Myers, Lindrick and Consolidated Utilities took on debt to fund an energy savings program. These five
utility systems are currently installing more efficient equipment. The savings from more efficient
equipment is expected to be more than adequate to repay the additional debt. More information can be
found in Note 7 of the Financial Section.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
his discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Florida Governmental
Utility Authority’s (FGUA) basic financial statements. Since the FGUA is a special-purpose
government involved solely in the provision of water and wastewater services to its customers on a
fee basis, all funds are accounted for in Proprietary Funds, specifically eleven enterprise funds. Therefore,
there are no government-wide financial statements, as they would be redundant to the fund financial
statements. This report contains fund financial statements and notes to the financial statements. The report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The FGUA, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All funds
of the FGUA are proprietary funds, with one fund set up for each geographically separate utility system
operated by the FGUA.
Proprietary Funds
The FGUA operates only one type of proprietary fund, and a separate enterprise fund is maintained for
each utility system. Enterprise funds are used to report business-type functions, which recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges.
T

The proprietary fund financial statements are comprised of a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of
Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Net
Position presents information on the FGUA’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred
inflows of resources and net position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position
presents information on the revenues received, the expenses incurred, and the positive or negative results
of the individual utility system’s increase or decrease in net position, presented on an accrual basis. The
Statement of Cash flows provides information on the cash flows of each utility system, based on
operations, financing activities, capital uses, and investment activities and a supplemental schedule of
noncash activities.
Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the financial statements.
Other Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents supplementary information concerning its compliance with the funding of outstanding debt
issues. This information, known as Coverage Ratios, is provided as part of the information contained in
the Statistical Section of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of
the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, the assets and deferred outflows exceeded the liabilities and
deferred inflows by $78 million at the close of fiscal year 2016. See the condensed Statement of Net
Position on the table on the next page.
• Net investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, and equipment) is presented net of any
depreciation and the outstanding balances of any bond or other borrowings that are attributed to
the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets. These assets are used to provide
services to our customers, and consequently, these assets are not available for future spending
(restricted). Net investment in capital assets ended the year with a deficit balance of $16,569,953
which is a $741,920 decrease from the prior year deficit balance of $17,311,873. The deficit
decreased because more capital assets were added than depreciation was expensed, and because
more capital asset-related debt was paid off than was incurred.
• Net Position Restricted for Capital Projects ended the year with a balance of $12,586,073, which
is an increase of $1.8 million. This is the balance in the Renewal and Replacement fund and the
Water Capacity and Wastewater Capacity funds. These funds are restricted impact fees and by
bond covenants to be used only for the purchase or construction of capital assets to renew and
expand the utilities’ assets.
• Net Position Restricted for Debt Service ended the year with a balance of $29,626,800 which is
an increase of $1,052,615 as compared to the prior year. Restricted for Debt Service represents
resources reserved for payment of the debt service (principal and interest) on external debt;
consequently, these assets are not available for other uses.
• Net Position Unrestricted ended the year with a balance of $52,844,021 which is an increase of
$10.4 million or 24.6% as compared to the prior year and is available for other budgetary uses of
the FGUA.

In the past year, assets decreased by $3 million or 0.60%. The cash in from the additional $15 million
from SunTrust for the Energy Savings program offset the $19 million that was paid to defease the Lehigh
2005 Series bonds. The remainder of the decrease in assets is the interrelation between the increase in
operating income, debt service payments, and deprecation. Deferred Outflows increased by $286,348 as
the FGUA began amortizing a loss on the advance refunding of the Lehigh Series 2005 bonds.
Total liabilities decreased by $17 million or 3.6%. Short term liabilities decreased most significantly
because of the $19 million refunding of the Lehigh 2005 bonds in October 2015. Despite the issuance in
$15 million in new debt for the Energy Savings program, long term liabilities increased only $4.3 million,
because the FGUA pays approximately $10 million a year in principal.
The increase in net position of $14 million represents the degree to which revenues have exceeded
expenses in the past year combined with the decrease in debt. The refundings of Golden Gate and Lehigh
bonds over the past three years has resulted in significantly lower interest expense. See chart on the next
page.
Operating revenues increased 4.46% which was adequate to cover the 3.45% increase in operating
expenses. The increase in operating revenues is partially due to rate increases which varied by system
between 1.7% to 3.2%. Additionally, one of the most significant changes was the adoption of an inactive
charge effective October 1, 2015 on the Aqua system rates. This effectively spreads base fees more fairly
across all connections, and is practiced in all the other FGUA utilities.

Operating expenses increased 3.45%. Nearly 90% of the FGUA’s operating expenses are set in multi-year
contracts which increase annually on an agreed-up consumer price index.
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, all of the FGUA utility systems’ net positions increased.
The FGUA continues to maintain a financially healthy system. The unrestricted cash balance increased by
24% from $39.4 million at FYE 2015 to $49.1 million at FYE 2016, showing a financially healthy utility
system with good liquidity.

SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL ASSET AND LONG TERM DEBT ACTIVITY
The fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 represents the seventeenth full fiscal year of the FGUA’s
operations. During this period, the following significant events occurred:
Capital Assets
uring FY 2016, the FGUA’s net capital assets remained nearly unchanged, with renewals and
capital additions near equal to depreciation. The MacDill AFB Utility System accounted for $3.5
million of the increase in net capital assets during the year thanks to federally-funded capital asset
grants. On the other hand, Lehigh and North Fort Myers saw decreases in capital asset values of $2.9
million and $1.1 million respectively, while large capital projects were awaiting bid results or were put on
hold by regulatory agencies. The remaining systems showed small increases or decreases in net capital
assets. Of the $277 million recorded for Capital Assets (net of depreciation), $6 million represent costs
incurred for capital projects that are under construction, but not yet completed as of September 30, 2016.
Additional information on the FGUA’s capital assets can be found in Note 6 of the Financial Section.

Debt Administration
n September 30, 2016, the FGUA had outstanding debt in the amount of $430 million in the form
of revenue bonds, state revolving loans, seller financed notes and a capital lease. This is a
decrease of $15 million from the prior year’s debt balance of $445 million. The FGUA tends to
pay down $10 million a year in principal. In addition, during 2016, the FGUA issued an additional $15
million in debt while also advance refunding nearly $20 million.
Half of the outstanding debt issues are fully insured via municipal bond insurance policies issued by
Ambac Assurance Corporation and Assured Guaranty. The remaining issuances have reserve accounts
with a September 30, 2016 fair market value of $16.8 million.
The FGUA maintains a debt coverage ratio of 1.1 or better (net operating income to debt service) for each
of its utilities. The following chart shows the actual coverage compared to the required coverage for the
past ten years for debt secured by pledged water and wastewater revenues.
The FGUA is prohibited by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes from imposing property taxes. In addition, it is
further prohibited from issuance of general obligation debt. It is, however, authorized to impose special
assessments upon property owners, whose property will benefit from water and wastewater system
improvements.
Refer to Note 7 and the Statistical Section for more information on the FGUA’s Long Term Debt and
Coverage Ratios for each utility system.

FACTORS EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ON FUTURE OPERATIONS
Future Growth in Customers
ue to continued economic conditions, customer growth within each utility system continues to be
low. There was positive overall utility growth for fiscal year 2016. The net addition of 2,360
active connections to our records is mostly due to changing the inactive account base fee policy
for the Aqua systems. In addition, just over 2,000 re-use irrigation customers in the Pasco systems were
accidentally classified as “sewer” customers, and were re-classified to water customers. The changes in
customer counts in 2016 were verified through further billing and meter audits. We predict the rate of
future growth will continue to be relatively flat. Management monitors growth closely as it has an impact
on the infrastructure needs of the Utility Systems and requires prudent long term capital planning. The
FGUA will continue to meet system demands by managing the capital improvement projects in
accordance with the FGUA capital improvement plan that is adopted each September with the FGUA
operating budget. (Further information on customer growth for the past ten years can be found in the
Statistical Section).
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Operations
core function of the FGUA is to use the collective power of local governments, performing as
board members, to acquire, improve, operate, and maintain water and wastewater facilities. Local
governments hold the option to acquire any FGUA utility system within its jurisdiction. This
makes the FGUA a unique local government. The financial statements can fluctuate significantly as the
FGUA acquires utility systems or transitions them over to the local government. There are also years that
have small to moderate fluctuations when there are no acquisitions or transitions, and the financial
activities are only reflective of traditional operational activities.
There are no major differences in FY 2016 operations as compared to FY 2015 operations. Generally,
revenues and expenses increased modestly. The new debt that was issued was more than offset by
defeasance of other debt. The impacts of acquisitions and transitions are reflected throughout this
narrative as explanations for the large variances from prior years; however, there were no acquisitions or
sales of utility systems neither in FY 2016 nor in FY 2015. As a result, many of the explanations for the
variances may seem redundant; however, each utility system of the FGUA operates independently. It is
important, therefore, for the reader to understand that while the FGUA system, as a whole, may have been
impacted by a transition activity in prior years; the explanations for the individual operations of the utility
systems are more reflective of the traditional governmental utility operation.

perating revenues (excluding the General Fund) increased $3.6 million or 4.5% from $79.9
million in FY 2015 to $83.4 million in FY 2016.
• The Golden Gate Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $222,647 or 2.9%
as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of a Consumer Price Index
increase in rates (1.7%) as well as a 1% increase in the number of connections.
• The Lehigh Acres Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $477,453 or 3.4%
as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of a Consumer Price Index
increase in rates as well as a 1.3% increase in the number of connections and a slight increase in
user consumption.
• The Pasco Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $694,846 or 3.8% as
compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of prior years’ rate increases, a
slight increase in users, and a general increase in consumption.
• The Consolidated Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $354,769 or 6.2%
as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in rates of
3.2% at the beginning of the year, a nearly 1% increase in the number of connections, and a
general increase in consumption.
• The Lindrick Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $47,283 or 1.1% as
compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of a Consumer Price Index
increase in rates at the beginning of the year.
• The North Fort Myers Utility System realized an increase in operating revenues of $522,777 or
4.6% as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of a Consumer Price
Index increase in rates at the beginning of the year, as well as an increase in bulk wastewater
usage by Lee County.
• The MacDill AFB Utility System operating revenues increased $68,289, or 1.5%, as compared to
the prior year. This increase is the result of a Consumer Price Index increase from the Federal
Government effective March 1 of each year.
• The Lake Aqua, Pasco Aqua, and Unified Aqua Utility Systems contributed an additional
$1,174,168 in operating revenues. This increase was primarily the result of a rate structure change
put into effect at the beginning of the year to charge inactive account base fees to all connections.

perating expenses (excluding the General Fund and depreciation and amortization) increased by
$1,347,425, or 3.44% from $39 million in FY 2015 to $40.5 million in FY 2016. Most of the
FGUA’s operating expenses are fixed on multi-year contracts with an agreed-upon Consumer
Price Index increase.
• The Golden Gate Utility System realized a small increase in operating expenses of $51,441 or
1.7%. Lower electricity and regulatory expenses offset the annual contract inflationary increases
(approximately 3%).
• The Lehigh Acres Utility System realized an increase in operating expenses of $470,228 or 7.6%
as the result of increased costs of chemicals, electricity, and security monitoring. In addition,
customer service office rent was temporarily higher while the FGUA coordinated a move into a
less expensive location.
• The Pasco Utility System realized an increase in operating expenses of $527,468 or 5.7%. The
increase is primarily attributed to an increase in purchased water, as well as an increase in
additional operating and maintenance expenses.
• The Consolidated Utility System realized a decrease in operating expenses of $124,995 or -4.7%.
This decrease is related to lower purchased wastewater services during the year.
• The Lindrick Utility System realized an increase in operating expenses of $27,364 or 1.2%. This
increase was the result of a general inflationary increase in operating expenses.
• The North Fort Myers Utility System realized a small increase in operating expenses of $54,675
or 1.0%. Lower electricity and additional maintenance costs offset the annual contract
inflationary increases.
• The MacDill AFB Utility System realized an increase in operating expenses of $10,731 or 0.4%,
which is mostly explained by the 1.5% economic price index increase in effect for the first half of
FY 2016, and the subsequent -0.5% economic price index increase in effect for the latter half of
the fiscal year.
• The Aqua Pasco, Aqua Lake and Aqua Unified Utility Systems contributed to the FGUA’s
increase in operating expenses by $330,512 or 4.1%. The operations and maintenance contracts
increased by 3% (inflation). The remaining 1% increase was related to additional maintenance
and regulatory expenses.

perating income is the net of operating revenue against operating expenses. All of the FGUA
utilities experienced an increase in operating income in FY 2016. Operating income (excluding
the General Fund and depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $2.2 million or 5.4%
from $40.7 million in FY 2015 to $42.9 million in FY 2016. See the chart below for a comparison of FY
2015 to FY 2016 operating income by utility system. The two utility systems with the most significant
increases in operating income were the Consolidated Utility System ($479,764 or 15.7% increase) and the
Unified Aqua Utility System ($588,022 or 25.6% increase). The Consolidated Utility System’s expenses
were lower than anticipated and continue to reap the benefits of rate increases above consumer price
index levels. The Unified Aqua Utility System increase is nearly entirely related to the inactive account
base fee restructure. The third utility with a significant operating income increase is the North Fort Myers
System. North Fort Myers operating income increased $468,102 or 8% over FY 2015. As explained
above in the revenue section North Fort Myers has experienced a significant increase in sales of bulk
wastewater treatment services to Lee County.

CUSTOMERS
he following chart depicts the change in water and wastewater billed customers over the last two
years. The increases and decreases in customer numbers for all systems were primarily the
outcome of continued internal meter audits. The change in Pasco Systems is related to a
reclassification of re-use irrigation water customers from wastewater to water customers. The increase in
the Aqua systems is due to a policy change related to base fee charges. All the FGUA systems charge
base fees as long as there is a connection to a home that must be maintained, whether the home is
occupied or vacant. The Aqua systems did not have this fee in their rate schedule until October 1, 2015.
This resulted in an increase of nearly 1,800 accounts, which adds to the stability of the systems and
improves the utilities’ ability to spread the cost of the treatment plants more fairly across connected
premises.

he following chart shows the change in the number of customers over the past ten years. While the
individual utilities have traditionally experienced relatively flat growth in the customer base,
acquisitions of new systems and transitioning of exiting systems may be reflected in the changes
shown below. The last disposition of any FGUA utility systems was the transition of the Poinciana and
Citrus utility systems in 2007. In 2009, the FGUA acquired the Pasco utility systems. In 2010, the FGUA
acquired the Consolidated, Lindrick, and North Fort Myers utility systems. In 2013, the FGUA acquired
the Lake Aqua, Pasco Aqua, and Unified Aqua utility systems. The number of utility systems and the size
of the customer base of each system for a given year affect the upward and downward changes over this
ten year period.
Refer to the Statistical Section for additional information.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
(a) Reporting entity⎯The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (the “Authority”) was formed
as a legal entity and public body pursuant to Chapters 125, 166 and 163, Florida Statutes and an
Interlocal Agreement dated February 1, 1999 (the "Interlocal Agreement") initially by and between
Brevard County, Lee County, Polk County, and Sarasota County (the "Authority Members"), each a
local government located in the State of Florida. The Interlocal Agreement was amended and
restated on December 1, 2000, by and between Citrus County, Nassau County, Polk County, and
Sarasota County. Sarasota County was a member of the Interlocal Agreement, but withdrew
effective August 29, 2002, after assuming ownership of the Authority's assets and liabilities related
to the Sarasota Utility System. On January 16, 2003, Osceola County was accepted as a member.
Osceola County has since terminated its membership and the Poinciana Utility System assets and
liabilities were transferred to the Tohopekaliga Water Authority on April 30, 2007. The Citrus
Utility System was transitioned to Citrus County on February 15, 2007. On October 15, 2005 Lee
County rejoined the Authority subsequent to the purchase of the Lehigh Acres System. The Town of
Dundee joined as a member on June 12, 2007 and subsequently withdrew on January 21, 2010.
Hendry County joined as a member on February 21, 2008. Pasco County joined as a member on
February 27, 2008. DeSoto County joined as a member on January 13, 2009, and terminated its
membership on November 12, 2015. The purpose of the Authority is to enable the Authority
Members to make the most efficient use of their common power to acquire, own, improve, operate,
and maintain water and wastewater facilities. It is not expected that the Authority will have any
employees. All services will be provided on a contractual basis.
The Authority has adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 61,
The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus, for the purpose of evaluating its financial statements.
Based on the criteria in Statement No. 61, the Authority has determined that there are no other units
that meet the criteria for inclusion in the Authority's financial statements.
(b) Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation⎯The
accounting systems of the Authority are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered
an accounting entity having a self-balancing set of accounts for recording its assets, deferred
outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows, net position, revenues, and expenses. Since the Authority is a
special purpose government involved solely in the provision of water and wastewater services to its
customers on a fee basis, all funds are accounted for in Proprietary Funds.
The focus of proprietary fund measurement is the determination of net income, financial position,
and cash flows. The proprietary funds are used to account for operations: (a) that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body
is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general
public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where
the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenue earned, expenses incurred,
and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability, or other purposes. The Authority operates ten utility systems (Golden Gate, Lehigh
Acres, Pasco, Consolidated, Lindrick, North Fort Myers, MacDill AFB, Lake Aqua, Pasco Aqua,
Unified Aqua) in ten separate funds. The Authority has one non-system specific fund that handles
the administration of the interlocal agreements and also has a fund (Barefoot Bay) that services
outstanding bonds from former utility systems the Authority operated years ago. All funds are
considered major funds.
The Authority utilizes the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the GASB Codification.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
(c) Cash and cash equivalents⎯Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand and on
deposit in banks and money market accounts. Investments with a maturity of three months or less
when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
(d) Investments⎯Investments are carried at fair value.
(e) Accounts receivable⎯The Authority's accounts receivable consists of amounts due from
consumers. The Utility Systems perform credit evaluations on their consumers and generally require
collateral deposits from them.
(f) Restricted assets and reserves⎯Certain assets are required to be segregated from other
assets due to various bond indenture agreements. These assets are legally restricted for specific
purposes such as debt service, construction, and renewals and replacements. The remaining excess
of restricted assets over liabilities is reflected as restricted net position.
(g) Property and plant⎯Property and plant are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation,
except contributed assets which are recorded at fair value on the date of contribution. Expenditures
of $5,000 or more are capitalized. Construction period interest cost, net of interest earned on the
unexpended proceeds of tax-exempt borrowings, is capitalized as part of the asset cost.
Depreciation, on a straight-line basis, is charged over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 35
years.
(h) Intangibles⎯The excess cost over fair value of acquired assets is being amortized, on a
straight-line basis, over the approximate life of the related assets purchased, ranging from 20 to 30
years. The right-of-use capacity agreement for the Lindrick Utility System has an indefinite life.
(i) Bond discounts and premiums⎯Bond discounts and premiums are deferred and amortized
over the term of the bonds using the effective interest method.
(j) Revenue recognition⎯Operating revenue consists primarily of charges for services, which
are billed to customers for water, wastewater, and reclaimed water service. Billings are included in
revenue as meters are read on a cycle basis throughout each month. Unbilled revenues are accrued
based on estimated consumption of the most recent billing. For the MacDill AFB system, all water
and wastewater revenues are earned based on the terms set forth in a formal agreement between the
Authority and the Federal government.
(k) Net position flow assumption⎯Sometimes the Authority will fund outlays for a particular
purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources. In order to determine amounts reported as
restricted and unrestricted net position, it is the Authority’s policy to consider restricted net position
to have been used before unrestricted net position is applied.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
(l) Capital grants, contributions, and impact fees⎯Impact fees are imposed by the Utility
Systems to acquire, construct, equip, or expand the capacity of the water and/or wastewater
facilities in order to serve new users of the facilities and new development within the service area of
the Utility Systems. Impact fees revenue is recognized when the related connection services are
performed. Capital contributions represent contributions of certain water distribution and
wastewater collection systems. Such contributions are recognized as revenue in the period they are
received. The recoverable portion of system purchase price is earned in the MacDill AFB System
based on the terms set forth in the agreement with the Federal government. Capital grants represent
funding from state and Federal agencies to support capital asset construction.
(m) Operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses⎯Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with
principal ongoing operations. The Authority's principal operating revenues are charges for water
and sewer services. Operating expenses include the costs to maintain and repair the water and sewer
treatment plants, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
(n) Deferred outflows/inflows of resources⎯In addition to assets, the statement of financial
position will, if required, report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate
financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net
position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. It is the deferred loss on refunding. A deferred loss on refunding
results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This
amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will, if required, report a separate section
for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority has no items that
qualify for reporting in this category.
(o) Use of estimates⎯The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and changes therein,
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(p) Risk management⎯The Authority participates in various insurance programs for property
and casualty losses. Coverage includes property, general liability, and public officials insurance.
Environmental impairment insurance for potential spills is maintained with a third party insurance
carrier. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage during the last three fiscal years.

(2) Purchase and Transition of Utility Systems:
In recent years, the Authority has periodically engaged in acquiring new utility systems, most
recently acquiring the Lake Aqua, Pasco Aqua, and Unified Aqua systems in fiscal year 2013.
No such acquisitions or transitions occurred during the year ended September 30, 2016.
(3) Sale of Utility Systems:
(a) Barefoot Bay utility system⎯Effective February 2, 2000, Barefoot Bay Water and Sewer
District (the “District”), a component unit of Brevard County, Florida, acquired all the assets and
assumed all operating liabilities of the Barefoot Bay Utility System at net book value. This
transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $250,000, equal to the accumulated deficit of the
Barefoot Bay Utility System at the sale date. In payment for the Barefoot Bay Utility System, the
District issued Barefoot Bay Water and Sewer District Utility Revenue Bonds Series 2000 (the
“Series 2000 Bonds”) in the amount of $17,135,000. The respective interest rates and maturities of
the Series 2000 Bonds are identical to the Florida Governmental Utility Authority Utility System
Revenue Bonds (Barefoot Bay Utility System), Series 1999 Bonds issued at the acquisition of the
Barefoot Bay Utility System by the Authority and which remain outstanding. The trust estate as
defined in the Series 2000 Bonds trust indenture secures the Series 2000 Bonds. This trust estate has
replaced the net revenues of the Barefoot Bay Utility System as the pledged revenue source securing
the Series 1999 Bonds. The Series 2000 Bonds are included in restricted assets in the combined
Statement of Net Position of the Authority.

(4) Deposits and Investments:
(a) Deposits⎯At September 30, 2016, the Authority held cash on deposit with various financial
institutions. In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation,
deposits are held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of Florida to
hold public funds. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, the
State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or
another banking institution eligible collateral. In the event of failure of a qualified public depository,
the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. The
Authority's deposits at year end are considered insured for custodial credit risk purposes.
(b) Investments⎯The Authority measures and records its investments using fair value
measurement guidelines established by GASB Statement No. 72. These guidelines recognize a
three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets;
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices; and,
Level 3: Unobservable inputs.
At September 30, 2016, the Authority's investments consisted of the following, all of which were
valued using Level 2 inputs from the above hierarchy:
Types of Investments Maturities
Credit Quality
(Moody’s) Fair Value
Municipal bonds receivable 14.00 N/A $ 10,960,000
Municipal bonds 2.79 Aa3 3,434,077
Total investments $ 14,394,077
(c) Custodial credit risk⎯For an investment, custodial credit is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the Authority will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. In order to manage the custodial
credit risk, the Authority's investment policy specifies certain requirements to pre-qualify financial
institutions and brokers/dealers and an annual review of the institutions used.
(d) Credit risk⎯Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counter party to an investment will
not fulfill its obligations. The Authority does have a formal investment policy that limits its
investments to high quality investments to control credit risk, which requires diversification of
investments, limited investments in securities with higher credit risks, investing in securities with
varying maturities, and continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds
such as local government investment pools or money market funds. In addition, Certificates of
deposit and other evidences of deposit at qualified depositories, bankers' acceptances, and
commercial paper, rated in the highest tier (e.g., A-I, P-I, F-I or D-1 or higher) by a nationally
recognized rating agency. The municipal bonds receivable and money market mutual funds do not
have credit quality ratings. The municipal bonds receivable are insured by a financial guaranty
insurance policy.
(e) Interest rate risk⎯Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely
affect the fair value of an investment. The Authority has a formal investment policy that, except for
special situations, limits investment maturities to instruments maturing within three years from
purchase as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.
At September 30, 2016, the Plan’s municipal bonds had a weighted average duration of 2.79 years.

Notes:
(2) Other Debt includes State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) debt, the SunTrust Energy Project debt, and Seller-Financed Notes. The
MacDill AFB Seller-Financed note is excluded because it is fully-subsidized, the note is not secured by revenues, and because the
AFB is considered one customer, which would skew the "per utility customer" ratio. See Note 7 for MacDill debt balance.
(1) This amount excludes the Barefoot Bay bonds as the FGUA acts as a pass-through agent only. See Note 7 for Barefoot Bay
bonds balance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors,
Florida Governmental Utility Authority:
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in the Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the business-type
activities and each major fund of Florida Governmental Utility Authority (the Authority) as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 10,
2017.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination
of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Authority’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations,
during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
- 84 -
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority’s financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance
with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Tarek and I appreciated you taking the time to meet with us. We also appreciate the cooperative
relationship that has developed between the FGUA, its local service provider and the golf course
resort owners and operators.
As you suggested in the meeting, we have been investigating the title encumbrances and fee
conveyances on the golf course property and found a number of problems. The great news is that it
doesn't appear that anything is too difficult to remedy.
Attached as Exhibit A, you will find a complete summary of our title search. We have also prepared
a couple of maps to assist you with identifying the issues. The first map, attached as Exhibit B,
illustrates the locations of the fee parcels and utility easements on the golf course, and the second
map, attached as Exhibit C, illustrates the location of an access easement that was apparently
originally intended to provide access to the water plant parcel, the adjacent maintenance area and the
parcel with the large antenna located on it. Attached as Exhibit D are copies of all the documents
identified in the title summary.
By referencing the first map (Exhibit B), the most significant problem that we see is that, due to
numerous conveyances of the water plant parcel, and apparent mistakes in the legal description, the
FGUA finds itself in the strange position of owning two water plant parcels. The primary reason for
this strange situation is the apparent error in the legal description used in the quitclaim deed recorded
at Official Records Book 1131, Page 1230 of the Public Records of Collier County, Florida.
By referencing the second map (Exhibit C), it seems pretty obvious that the access easement to the
water plant is in the wrong location and should be properly located and corrected to reflect the access
that all parties actually use. The terms of this easement are somewhat unusual in that it appears to
give the FGUA the right to license others to use this access easement -- which is apparently exactly
what the FGUA's predecessors did. It is this license that allows the owners of the parcel that contains

the antenna (identified on the first map as the "Cable Parcel") to access their fee parcel.
A license, by definition, can be revoked at will by the grantor of the license. Consequently, this is a
somewhat precarious title state for the antenna parcel fee owners as this is their only access to their
fee parcel. Additionally, the terms of the license are rather onerous on the antenna fee parcel owners
as they have the sole responsibility to indemnify the FGUA for any damage that may occur to the
access. For example, the hurricane damage that you pointed out in our meeting and in your prior
correspondence would be the complete responsibility of the antenna parcel fee owners under the
terms of the license. As you pointed out, this is probably not equitable, nor what the parties likely
intended - but the license terms remain.
One item that is not shown on the map is a utility easement that we discussed in our meeting. It is
recorded at Official Records Book 4508, Page 1308. As we indicated in our meeting, this easement
was recorded in the public records without the FGUA's knowledge or approval. It was apparently
conveyed to the FGUA to contain a small portion of recently installed pipeline that extends outside
the 30' -wide utility easement between the water plant parcel and the lots on the west side of the golf
course.
The portion of pipeline that lies outside the granted utility easement need not have been contained
within this additional encumbrance. Instead, since the portion of the pipeline lying outside the utility
easement lies under the driveway within the existing access easement, it would have been a simple
matter to make the access easement into an access and utility easement when the revised legal
description is completed. This would have completely eliminated the need for this additional
encumbrance.
While there are other smaller title defects outlined in the title summary below, these seem to be the
major problems. However, it may be possible to further clear the title on the golf course, because it
appears that the FGUA may no longer need the easement lying across the golf course property and
extending up the east side of the property, so long as the FGUA can get another easement closer to
the water plant parcel. It may be possible to have this easement located partially within the second
water plant parcel illustrated on the map, with a small fee parcel reserved for the well itself, and
extend northward along the cart path to the original water plant parcel. Naturally, we would wish to
work with you on this to be sure that it does not interfere with your golf operations.
To assist us all with developing a summary solution to this rather lengthy set of title issues, we have
taken a stab at outlining a proposed global resolution:
Proposed Resolution
1. The golf course fee owners, the antenna parcel fee owners and the FGUA will
evenly split the cost to have the antenna parcel and the three associated appurtenant
easements and the water plant parcel and two associated appurtenant utility easements
Letter to Vocisano and Romer
September 27, 2010
Page 3
surveyed to create correct legal descriptions that all three parties can agree upon. The surveys
will be certified to all three parties. The surveyor will also make sure the associated
appurtenant easements properly connect to the revised fee parcel descriptions.
2. The golf course owners, the antenna parcel owners and the FGUA will evenly
split the cost to have a replacement access and utility easement surveyed. The easement
should be located about 10' west of the existing concrete drive and abut the antenna fee
parcel and the water plant parcel on the east side of the corrected easement, then extend
along and adjacent to the water plant parcel south boundary.
3. The FGUA attorney will prepare corrective deeds to adopt the new legal
descriptions for the fee parcels and draft two new non-exclusive access and utility easements
to replace the current access easement and access license and incorporate the new legal
descriptions. The access and utility easement for the antenna parcel will terminate at the
antenna parcel's southern boundary while the FGUA's access and utility easement will
include this same area as well as the area extending along the west boundary of the water
plant parcel and along the south boundary of the water plant parcel. The FGUA attorney will
also prepare a bill of sale to the golf course fee owners for any pipelines or appurtenances
that may lie within the exclusive easement to the east of the water plant parcel that will also
be vacated.
4. The FGUA will vacate the current access easement and the exclusive
easement east of the water plant parcel and record these vacation instruments in the pubic
record along with the bill of sale conveying any pipeline or appurtenances in the vacated
exclusive easement to the golf course fee owners.
5. The FGUA will revoke the access license to the antenna parcel fee owners and
record the revocation in the public record.
6. The parties will record the corrective deeds for the antenna parcel and three
associated appurtenant easements and the water plant parcel and two associated appurtenant
utility easements.
7. The parties will record the new replacement access and utility easements.
8. The FGUA will quitclaim its interest in the second water plant parcel created
by the quitclaim deed recorded at OR 1131, PG 1230 to the golf course fee owners.
9. The parties will equally split the attorney cost that the FGUA incurs to repair
the title for everyone.
10. The parties will develop an agreement to deal with maintenance and damage

to the access road moving forward and resolve any other issues between them, including, but
not limited to tree trimming, planting restrictions and set backs and any other issues that any
of the three parties feel should be included in an agreement between the parties.
Please let us know when you will be available to meet to continue the resolution of these issues. It
would probably be advisable for all three parties to meet next time so we can all see and understand
the issues and the proposed resolutions. To that end, we would appreciate any information you may
have on the proper contact persons for the current antenna parcel fee owners. As we indicated in our
meeting, we also welcome any additional title information that you may have uncovered in your
internal records search that could add to the title summary we have assembled to date.
We look forward to working with you to resolve these problems and continue our cooperative
relationship moving forward.
Sincerely,

EXHIBIT A
Title Search Summary
9/23/63 PB 5, PG 60 - Gulf American Land Corporation plats Golden Gate Unit 1. This is
where the access easement from Golden Gate Parkway to the water plant site will be
located on a parcel identified as Tract B in this plat.
8/29/66 OR 221, PG 410 - Gulf American Land Corporation conveys in fee the future site of
the Best Western to Golden Gate Inn, Inc.
4/3/69 PB 91) PG 107A - Golden Gate Golf and Country Club, Inc. and Gulf American Corporation
plat Golden Gate Unit 8, Part 2. This is where the water plant will eventually be built
on a parcel identified as Tract A in this plat.
1/8/73 OR 530, PG 916 - This is the deed from GAC Properties Inc. and Golden Gate Golf and
Country Club, Inc. to GAC Utilities, Inc. conveying the water plant site in fee and
two 30' -wide utility easements that intersect the fee parcel.
Notes: 1) The legal description of the fee parcel does not close.
2) The legal descriptions of the two 30' -wide utility easements appear
to be correct.
4/30/73 OR 530, PG 922 - This grants a 30' -wide easement "for road purposes" to the utility,
its assigns, successors, agents and, strangely, its "licensees." This appears to be
interpreted to allow the utility to license others to use this easement.
Notes: 1) This seems intended to abut the entire west side of the water plant site and
extend around to an entrance contemplated on the southern boundary
of the water plant parcel.
2) On the Relative Access Easement Location map, this easement is
denoted in orange. Note that it does not appear to line up properly
with the actual location of the water plant parcel.
3) This easement does not mention use for utility purposes so
although the pipeline that was improperly placed apparently lies
within this easement, it could be argued that this may not be an
allowed use of the easement rights conveyed. There may also be a gap
between the easement and the fee parcel.
6/18/73 OR 5385 PG 353 - This is the deed from Golden Gate Golf & Country Club to Gulf
Communicators, Inc. for the fee parcel that contains the large antenna, adjacent to the
north boundary of the water plant parcel.
ll/l/73 OR 585, PG 85 - Golden Gate Golf and Country Club, Inc. grants numerous drainage
and power easements to GAC Properties Inc. that will encumber the eventual water
plant parcel and subsequent utility easements and access easements.
11/1/73 OR 585, PG 92 - GAC Properties Inc. reserves the same easements outlined in the
previous instrument to itself and its assigns or grantees.
5/8/74 OR 589, PG 760 - This is purportedly a corrective deed to correct the legal description in the
fee portion of the deed recorded at OR 530, PG 916, but the corrective description of
the fee parcel does not close and is therefore a nullity.
6/10/75 OR 622, PG 787 - This is the corrective -corrective deed! It is intended to correct the
erroneous legal description used in the corrective deed recorded at OR 589, PG 760 --
which itself was intended to correct the erroneous description used in the first deed
recorded at OR 530, PG 916.
Notes: 1) This creates the legal description of the plant and the two utility
easements.
2) The easement on the west side of the plant begins between Lots 13
and 14, Block 281 of the Golden Gate Unit 8, Part 2 subdivision
recorded at PB 9, PG 111.
12/20/82 OR 2848, PG 2969 (recorded as part of the Assignment of Interests from Florida
Cities Water Company to the FGUA which begins at OR 2848, PG 2958) - Frank
J. Callahan, Norman S. Edelcup and Juanita Rivera, being directors of Golden Gate
Golf & Country Club, Inc., a dissolved Florida Corporation, quitclaimed their interest
in Tract A, GOLDEN GATE, Unit 8, Part 2, as recorded in PB 9, PG 107A to
Domenic D'Agostino, Frank D'Agostino, Marion (sic) Vocisano and Robert
Vocisano.
Note: 1) This deed specifically excepts the area previously conveyed to Gulf
Communications, Inc. by the warranty deed recorded at OR 538, PG
353, but nothing else.
4/12/83 OR 1086, PG 181 - Frank D'Agostino quitclaims his interests in Tracts A and B,
GOLDEN GATE, Unit 1, as recorded in PB 5, PG 62 and Tract A, GOLDEN GATE,
Unit 8, Part 2 as recorded in PB 9, PG 107A (among other parcels) to Robert
Vocisano, Mario Vocisano, Dominic D'Agostino and Salvatore Forlani, who are
identified as a Florida general partnership also known as Golden Gate Inn.
Note: 1) This deed specifically excepts the area previously conveyed to Gulf
Communications, Inc. by the warranty deed recorded at OR 538, PG
353 as well as the areas purportedly previously conveyed to GAC
Utilities, Inc. by the deeds recorded at OR 530, PG 916 and OR 589,
PG 760 but makes no mention of the corrective -corrective deed
recorded at OR 622, PG 787.
4112183 OR 1086, PG 182 - Sam Montello quitclaims his interests in Tracts A and B,
GOLDEN GATE, Unit 1, as recorded in PB 5, PG 62 and Tract A, GOLDEN GATE,
Unit 8, Part 2 as recorded in PB 9, PG 107A (among other parcels) to Robert
Vocisano, Mario Vocisano, Dominic D'Agostino and Salvatore Forlani, who are
identified as a Florida general partnership also known as Golden Gate Inn,
Note: 1) This deed specifically excepts the area previously conveyed to Gulf
Communications, Inc. by the warranty deed recorded at OR 538, PG
353 as well as the areas purportedly previously conveyed to GAC
Utilities, Inc. by the deeds recorded at OR 530, PG 916 and OR 589,
PG 760 but makes no mention of the corrective -corrective deed
recorded at OR 622, PG 787.
3/30/84 OR 1077, PG 772 - American Cablevision Services, Inc., f/k/a Gulf Communicators
Inc. conveys the antenna fee parcel and guy and power line easements described in
the document recorded at OR 538, PG 353 to Florida Cablevision Management Corp.
Note: 1) The description confirms the existence of the access easement recorded at
OR 530, PG 922 that is located adjacent to the fee parcel.
3/30/84 OR 1077, PG 774 - This is a license agreement from Avatar Utilities, Inc. (AUI) to
Florida Cablevisions Management Corp. (FCMC). This appears to be a license from
the non-exclusive easement holder (AUI) to another entity (FCMC). This is usually
not possible unless the easement is a perpetual, exclusive easement, but this seems to
have been contemplated by the parties as indicated in the easement grant noted in the
instrument recorded at OR 530, PG 922.
Notes: 1) This is very important as this appears to be the only basis by which the
cable company can access its fee parcel.
2) There is an indemnification in this license whereby the licensee
agrees to pay "for any and all liability for personal injuries, property
damage, or for loss of life or property resulting from, or in any way
connected with, the condition or use of the premises covered by this
License, except for personal injuries, property damages, or loss of life
or property caused solely by negligence of Licensor."
3) This indemnification would seem to leave the FGUA without any
responsibility to pay for repair of the road resulting from hurricanes.
2/25/85 OR 1131, PG 1230 - This is a quitclaim deed from Domenic D'Agostino, Mario
Vocisano, Salvatore Forlani and Robert Vocisano, who are identified as a Florida
General Partnership, to Avatar Utilities, Inc. for the water plant parcel and the two
connecting utility easements. The legal description for the water parcel does NOT use
the correct description found in the corrective -corrective deed recorded at OR 622,
PG 787. It uses a different call distance from the point of commencement that is 685
feet south of the original description. However, the description docs apparently close.
This therefore amounts to the conveyance of a second water treatment parcel located
to the south of the original described parcel.
Note: 1) In addition to the first call distance from the point of commencement, this
legal description varies slightly in the remainder of the legal
description from that recorded at OR 622, PG 787. It will have to be
determined by a surveyor which is actually correct.
12/31/86 OR 1241, PG 2343 - Dominic D'Agostino and Salvatore Forlani quitclaim their
interests in Tracts A and B, GOLDEN GATE, Unit 1, as recorded in PB 5, PG 62 and
Tract A, GOLDEN GATE, Unit 8, Part 2 as recorded in PB 9, PG 107A (among
other parcels) to Robert Vocisano and Mario Vocisano, a Florida general partnership
known as Golden Gate Inn.
Notes: l) This deed specifically excepts the area previously conveyed to Gulf
Communications, Inc. by the warranty deed recorded at OR 538, PG
353 as well as the areas purportedly previously conveyed to GAC
Utilities, Inc. by the deeds recorded at OR 530, PG 916 and OR 589,
PG 760 but makes no mention of the corrective -corrective deed
recorded at OR 622, PG 787.
2) This deed also specifically excepts the properly deeded to Avatar Utilities,
Inc. as recorded at OR 1131, PG 1230.
1/15/87 OR 1251, PG 790 - Avatar Properties Inc. grants a 10' -wide utility easement to
Avatar Utilities Inc. along the south side of Lot 14, Block 281 of Golden Gate Unit 8,
Part 2. This increases the 6' -wide public utility easement that was dedicated pursuant
to the plat another 4' and specifically names the utility company as the grantee.
3/17/87 OR 1270, PG 2130 - Dennis Getman records an affidavit that indicates that Avatar
Utilities Inc. has merged with Florida Cities Water Company.
3/23189 OR 1434, PG 238 - Golden Gate Inn / Robert Vocisano grants an easement to
Florida Power & Light Company to presumably allow power service to the water
plant parcel.
Notes: 1) The legal description does not connect to the actual water plant parcel.
Instead it connects to the quitclaimed parcel recorded at OR 1131, PG
1230.
2) The grantor does not appear to be the owner of the fee where the
easement was granted since the easement granted actually lies within
the second water plant parcel conveyed to the utility pursuant to the
quitclaim deed recorded at OR 1131, PG 1230.
8/23/96 Not recorded - On or about this date, Mike Acosta, a Vice President for Florida
Cities Water Company, signed an "Agreement to Purchase an Easement" document
that had previously been executed by Robert Vocisano and Mario Vocisano.
Notes: 1) This is essentially a purchase and sale document.
2) The sale apparently was completed as evidenced by the recording
of the easement below.
3) Paragraph 21(a) indicates that this agreement is not to be recorded.
This paragraph also provides that the contract shall bind the
successors to the parties. This would suggest that the provisions of
the contract may have been intended as a restrictive covenant that
runs with the land, but the absence of these specific words and the
restriction against recording the document seem to contradict this
interpretation.
4) Paragraph 21(b) seems to contemplate an ongoing payment of
property taxes over the 1.55 acres that are encumbered by the
easement. The payment is apparently intended to be the taxes for the
fee value of the encumbered lands even though the interest being sold
is only an easement.
5) if the document is deemed a restrictive covenant, it does not apply
to the FGUA. (See Ryan v. ManalaRan, 414 So. 2d 193 (Fla. 1982).
6) Despite the claim that the contract binds successors, the FGUA is
not in privity of contract for terms that it did not assume. There is no
mention of the contract in the Utility System Asset Acquisition
Agreement.
7) Even if the FGUA is somehow deemed to stand in the shoes of the
Buyer in this contract, the sole remedy for the Buyer's breach
according to paragraph 15 is the Seller keeping the deposit as
liquidated damages.
8) Paragraph 16 has a prevailing party clause in case of litigation.
9/11/96 OR 2228, PG 1331 - This is an exclusive easement for the well located near the 1 st
tee and Collier Blvd. (a/k/a S.R. 858 on the plats and C.R. 951 in a number of
conveyance documents) and the pipeline that connects it to the water treatment plant.
Notes: 1) This expires automatically if abandoned, but abandonment is not
defined.
2) This can be used for more than 1 well.
3) There seems to be a belief that the FGUA is to pay for taxes
related to this. There is no such provision in this instrument - only the
unrecorded purchase and sale agreement described above.
4) This parcel does NOT abut the right-of-way so legal access,
including power lines, is only currently possible via the water
treatment plant parcel which would probably be detrimental to the
golf course if the FGUA were to use the easement for power lines.
4/7!99 OR 2536, PG 900 - This is the Special Warranty Deed whereby Florida Cities
Water Company conveyed the water plant parcel, and all other Golden Gate fee
parcels, to the FGUA. The legal description of the water plant matches the legal
description in the corrective -corrective deed recorded at OR 622, PG 727.
11/6/09 OR 4508, PG 1308 - Someone, without the knowledge or consent of the
FGUA, records a utility easement from "Golden Gate Country Club owned
representative" to the FGUA for an area that supposedly contains the pipeline
improperly installed outside the FGUA's existing utility easement.
Note: l) This does not appear to be the proper name of the grantor.
2) It does not appear to be signed by the grantor, but is instead
filled in with a printed name. However, Sharon Romer, the notary
who notarized the document, who is also the General
Manager/Comptroller of the property, indicated that this was indeed
the person's signature (apparently the superintendent of the property
at the time) and that the owner had authorized the execution of the
document.
3) We do no know whether the easement described in this
document actually contains the pipeline that was installed outside the
FGUA's existing utility easement.
Summary of Title Problems for the Fee Owners that the FGUA can Help Resolve
1. The access easement recorded at OR 534, PG 922 encumbers significant land that is not used
by the FGUA or any other party for access. It is therefore an unnecessary title encumbrance
that can be removed if a correct combined access and utility easement is substituted.
2. The quitclaim deed recorded at OR 113 1, PG 1230 granted the FGUA a second water plant
parcel. This significantly encumbers the golf course owners' property and the FGUA could
quitclaim its interest in this second water plant parcel back to the owners to remove this
problem.
3. There is considerable doubt about the actual legal description of the water treatment plant
parcel since it has been conveyed a number of times and the legal descriptions in these
instruments were not consistent. The FGUA and the owners could get a survey to properly
describe the water plant parcel, its associated appurtenant utility easements and the new
combined access and utility easement running north and south to the parcel. Corrective
documents could then be prepared and recorded that would resolve the title problems for
good. Due to the doubt in the water plant parcel description, it is likely the adjacent fee
parcel on which the antenna is located is also defective. To make sure all parties are
protected, both fee parcels should be surveyed with the surveyor certifying the survey to all
three parties.
4. If the FGUA no longer needs the easement to Well #9 and a replacement easement closer to
the water plant parcel could be obtained, the FGUA could vacate this long easement across
the golf course and provide a bill of sale to the owners for any pipelines or appurtenances
that might be in the easement.
5. The FGUA is the grantor of a license to the owners of the antenna parcel so that these owners
can access their parcel. The ability to grant the license is indicated in the easement grant to
the FGUA's predecessor in interest recorded at OR 530, PG 922. The FGUA could revoke
this license at any time and leave the owners of the antenna parcel without access, but it has
not done so because the license also provides that the owners of the antenna parcel will
indemnify the FGUA for any damage that occurs in the access easement. Consequently, the
golf course fee owners are obligated to look solely to the owners of the antenna fee parcel for
any damages that may result from hurricane damage or other maladies. The FGUA could
consider some more equitable solution to these problems for the two other fee owners.
7. Without the FGUA's acceptance or knowledge, someone recorded an easement over the golf
course fee owners' property that was executed by the golf course owners' previous
superintendent that creates an encumbrance on the golf course fee owners" property that is
not consistent with other easement encumbrances on the property. The FGUA could vacate
this easement if it is replaced by the combined access and utility easement outlined above.
Summary of Title Problems for the FGUA that the Fee Owners can Help Resolve
1. The access easement granted pursuant to the instrument recorded at OR 530,
PG 922 does not reflect the actual location of the road used to access the plant. The owners
could convey a new combined access and utility easement along the actual location of the
access driveway, also assuring that the corrected easement would abut the antenna parcel and
the water plant parcel.
2. One of the FGUA's contractors installed a pipeline that strayed outside the
utility easement into the access easement for a few feet. The owners could replace the faulty
access easement with a combined access and utility easement in exchange for all the other
title resolutions outlined above.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 1-1
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION
At the June 27, 2017 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (the "BOCC") of Collier
County (the "County"), the BOCC authorized the staff of the Collier County Water-Sewer
District (the "District" or the "CCWSD") to initiate the final due diligence process for the
District's acquisition of the Golden Gate water and wastewater utility system (the "Golden Gate
System") currently owned and operated by the Florida Governmental Utility Authority
("FGUA"). One of the steps in the process is to hold a public hearing, in accordance with Florida
Statutes, to determine if the acquisition is in the public interest.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF GOLDEN GATE SYSTEM
General
FGUA currently owns and operates the Golden Gate System, which is solely located within
unincorporated County in an area west of the City of Naples. The service area of the Golden
Gate System occupies approximately four square miles and is comprised primarily of single-
family and multi-family residential, light commercial, and undeveloped properties. The majority
of the developed properties are single-family homes while the limited commercial development
consists of support facilities to the surrounding residents.
The Golden Gate System provides service to approximately 3,681 water accounts and 2,303
wastewater accounts. A portion of the service area remains undeveloped (vacant properties) or
unserved (private onsite potable water wells and wastewater disposal systems). The Golden Gate
water system includes nine raw water supply wells, one water treatment plant incorporating both
lime softening and reverse osmosis ("RO") water treatment processes with a total plant capacity
of 2.099 million gallons per day ("MGD") expressed on a maximum daily basis, two water
storage tanks, nearly 45 miles of water transmission and distribution lines ranging in size from
3/4-inch to 12-inches in diameter, and other appurtenances such as service lines, hydrants, and
meters to deliver potable water to the retail water customers served by the FGUA (the "Golden
Gate Water System"). The wastewater system includes one wastewater treatment plant with a
capacity of 1.80 MGD expressed on a maximum three-contiguous month basis, over 21 miles of
gravity sewer lines, 28 lift stations, more than 16 miles of force mains, and other appurtenances
such as manholes and sewer laterals (the "Golden Gate Wastewater System").
The rates for the Golden Gate System are currently adopted by the FGUA Board of Directors
(the "FGUA Board"). Under the "Interlocal Agreement Relating to the Acquisition of the Golden
Gate System" between the FGUA and the CCWSD dated March 1, 1999, the County has the
power to review and/or approve rates, fees, and charges relating to the Golden Gate System, but
does not have the authority to deny any rates, fees, and charges established by the FGUA Board
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 1-2
to comply with financial covenants contained in the Trust Indenture[1] that authorized the
issuance of the existing bonds for the Golden Gate System. The County's Operation and
Regulatory Management Division currently collects regulatory fees equal to two-percent (2%) of
gross utility revenues from the Golden Gate System.
Since the FGUA is a public utility and the FGUA Board supports the acquisition of the Golden
Gate System by the County, the ownership transfer is viewed as a cooperative and beneficial
venture for both entities as well as residents served by the utility. Accordingly, the County has
initiated the acquisition process of the Golden Gate System and has prepared this report in
support of such process.
Acquisition of the Golden Gate System
This transaction would allow for the Golden Gate System to be integrated with the District's
existing regional water and wastewater system (the "District System") and would allow the
Golden Gate System to be regulated by and to be under the management oversight of the BOCC
as part of the overall District System. The transaction is anticipated to provide the following
benefits assuming the consolidation of the Golden Gate System into the District System:
1. The County anticipates charging the current District rates to the Golden Gate System
customers, which will result in a reduction in the monthly bills for utility service to such
customers. The existing Golden Gate System monthly user rates are currently higher than
those of the CCWSD. If the County were to acquire the Golden Gate System and charge
the CCWSD rates to the Golden Gate System customers, the customers currently served by
the Golden Gate System could recognize overall savings of about 25% on their monthly
water and wastewater bills (based on a comparison of Fiscal Year 2017 rates) – assuming
no change in monthly usage.
2. The recognition of operational synergies and cost savings anticipated to be experienced
through the elimination of duplicative costs currently existing with the operation of the
individual systems, which, in part, would support the anticipated reduction in Golden Gate
System rates for the long-term benefit of the Golden Gate System customers.
3. Any future financing required to meet increasing regulations and capital improvements
within the Golden Gate System service area could possibly be secured at lower interest
rates given the CCWSD's strong (AAA) credit rating providing for the long-term benefit of
the Golden Gate customers.
4. The transaction would allow for the continuity of service (going concern) on a regional
basis.
Although there would be an immediate reduction in several financial metrics of the CCWSD, the
acquisition is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the existing customers currently
[1] Represents Indenture of Trust between the Authority and the Trustee, dated as of April 1, 1999, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, which authorized the issuance of certain utility revenue bonds by the FGUA for
the Golden Gate System to finance the initial acquisition of the System and additional capital improvements (the
"Trust Indenture").
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 1-3
being served by the District and is not expected to result in a reduction to the credit rating of the
CCWSD from a financial standpoint. The transaction should not compromise the ability of the
County System net revenues to meet the rate covenants as delineated in Resolution
No. CWS-85-5 adopted on July 30, 1985 as amended, restated, and supplemented from time to
time (the "Bond Resolution") which authorized the issuance of the outstanding utility revenue
bonds for the District System.
1.2 REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 125.3401, FLORIDA STATUTES
Any potential utility transaction that results in the transfer of utility ownership from one entity to
another is governed by Section 125.3401 of the Florida Statutes that states:
125.3401 Purchase, sale, or privatization of water, sewer, or wastewater reuse utility by county.
No county may purchase or sell a water, sewer, or wastewater reuse utility that provides service
to the public for compensation, or enter into a wastewater facility privatization contract for a
wastewater facility, until the governing body of the county has held a public hearing on the
purchase, sale, or wastewater facility privatization contract and made a determination that the
purchase, sale, or wastewater facility privatization contract is in the public interest. In
determining if the purchase, sale, or wastewater facility privatization contract is in the public
interest, the county shall consider, at a minimum, the following:
1. The most recent available income and expense statement for the utility.
2. The most recent available balance sheet for the utility, listing assets and liabilities and
clearly showing the amount of contributions-in-aid-of-construction and the accumulated
depreciation thereon.
3. A statement of the existing rate base of the utility for regulatory purposes.
4. The physical condition of the utility facilities being purchased, sold, or subject to a
wastewater facility privatization contract.
5. The reasonableness of the purchase, sales, or wastewater facility privatization contract
price and terms.
6. The impacts of the purchase, sale, or wastewater facility privatization contract on utility
customers, both positive and negative.
7. a. Any additional investment required and the ability and willingness of the purchaser, or
the private firm under a wastewater facility privatization contract, to make that
investment, whether the purchaser is the county or the entity purchasing the utility
from the County.
b. In the case of a wastewater facility privatization contract, the terms and conditions on
which the private firm will provide capital investment and financing or a combination
thereof for contemplated capital replacements, additions, expansions, and repairs. The
county shall give significant weight to these criteria.
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 1-4
8. The alternatives to the purchase, sale, or wastewater facility privatization contract, and the
potential impact on utility customers if the purchase, sale, or wastewater facility
privatization contract is not made.
9. a. The ability of the purchaser or the private firm under a wastewater facility
privatization contract to provide and maintain high-quality and cost-effective utility
service, whether the purchaser is the county or the entity purchasing the utility from
the County.
b. In the case of a wastewater facility privatization contract, the county shall give
significant weight to the technical expertise and experience of the private firm in
carrying out the obligations specified in the wastewater facility privatization contract.
10. All moneys paid by a private firm to a county pursuant to a wastewater facility
privatization contract shall be used for the purpose of reducing or offsetting property taxes,
wastewater service rates, or debt reduction or making infrastructure improvements or
capital asset expenditures or other public purpose; provided, however, nothing herein shall
preclude the county from using all or part of the moneys for the purpose of the county's
qualification for relief from the repayment of federal grant awards associated with the
wastewater system as may be required by federal law or regulation.
The county shall prepare a statement showing that the purchase, sale or wastewater facility
privatization contract is in the public interest, including a summary of the purchaser's experience
in water, sewer and wastewater reuse utility operation and a showing of the financial ability to
provide the service, whether the purchaser is the county or the entity purchasing the utility from
the county.
The remainder of this document provides a summary of the above considerations.

INCOME AND EXPENSE STATEMENTS
125.3401(1) The most recent available income and expense statement for the Utility.
The most recent income and expense statement for the Golden Gate System is contained in the
FGUA's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2016
(the most recently completed and audited fiscal year for the Golden Gate System) and is
contained at the end of this section as Table 2-1: Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes
in Net Position. The most recent historical operating results were considered by the County in its
evaluation of the Golden Gate System. As can be seen in Table 2-1, the current revenues of the
Golden Gate System, which are based on the existing Golden Gate System rates, are sufficient to
i) fund the reported or identified operating expenses of such system; and ii) produce Net
Revenues that provide for a strong debt coverage ratio and provide funds for additional capital
reinvestment.

SECTION 3
BALANCE SHEET
125.3401(2) The most recent available balance sheet for the utility, listing assets and liabilities
and clearly showing the amount of contributions-in-aid-of-construction and accumulated
depreciation thereon.
The most recent balance sheet for the Golden Gate System is contained in the FGUA's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2016 (the
most recently completed and audited fiscal year for the Golden Gate System) and is contained at
the end of this section as Table 3-1: Statement of Net Position. The most recent historical
operating results were considered by the County in its evaluation of the System. As can be seen
in Table 3-1, the original gross utility plant investment based on the original cost of when such
plant was placed into service or incurred as part of the construction of asset additions was
reported by the FGUA to be $47,602,118 for the Golden Gate System (includes $46,716,195 in
utility plant plus utility land or property of $500,040 and $385,883 in construction in progress for
projects that were currently underway during the Fiscal Year 2016). The net plant in service
(total gross utility plant less accumulated depreciation of $22,558,111) as reported by the FGUA
for the Fiscal Year 2016 was $25,044,007. It should be noted that the estimated net replacement
cost of the utility plant-in-service (predicated on today's construction cost values) is expected to
be higher than the original installed costs of such facilities.
In order to finance the original acquisition of the Golden Gate System in 1999 by the FGUA and
to construct additional improvements, replacements, and betterments to the Golden Gate System,
the FGUA has issued senior and subordinate lien debt. The senior lien debt represents
indebtedness issued pursuant to the Trust Indenture (reference Section 1) which has a first lien
pledge on the Net Revenues (Gross Revenues less the payment of Operating Expenses) and
Connection (Impact) Fees of the Golden Gate System and the subordinate lien debt consists of
low interest Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Fund loans administered through
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and a Loan Agreement with SunTrust
Equipment Finance & Leasing Corp. As reported in the Fiscal Year 2016 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the FGUA, the total bonds and notes payable as of September 30, 2016 was
$39,871,983 and as of September 1, 2017 the total bonds and notes payable is estimated to be
$38,658,753 (reference Section 6 for a summary of the outstanding debt). Upon acquisition of
the Golden Gate System by the County, and in accordance with the "Interlocal Agreement
Relating to the Acquisition of the Golden Gate System" between the FGUA and the CCWSD
dated March 1, 1999, the Golden Gate System's outstanding debt and any additional obligations
of the FGUA as it relates to the Golden Gate System will either be repaid as part of the terms of
the acquisition or may be assumed by the County (no longer a liability of the FGUA) and
become a debt of the District System.

SECTION 4
STATEMENT OF EXISTING RATE BASE
125.3401(3) A statement of the existing rate base of the utility for regulatory purposes.
Generally speaking, the rate base of a utility company represents the depreciated cost to the
utility company of the plant and facilities financed by the owners of the utility, which is used to
provide utility service to the public. Specifically, the rate base of a utility includes gross plant in
service, less accumulated depreciation and net contributed capital and/or plant, an allowance for
working capital, materials and supplies inventory, and certain other financial considerations. The
concept of rate base essentially deals with the establishment of rates for a privately-owned
utility. Since the FGUA is a publically-owned, not-for-profit entity, rate base calculations for the
Golden Gate System are not readily applicable. However, since the concept of rate base links to
utility plant-in-service, reference is made to Section 3, which provides a discussion of the Golden
Gate System net utility plant-in-service.

PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE UTILITY FACILITIES
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 5-1
SECTION 5
PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE UTILITY FACILITIES
125.3401(4) The physical condition of the utility facilities being purchased or sold.
The County retained an engineering firm, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. ("Stantec"), to
evaluate the technical feasibility of the County's acquisition of the FGUA Golden Gate System
and identify / evaluate opportunities to: i) address safe and reliable drinking water and
wastewater service delivery; ii) provide water service to residents at best value rates; iii) make a
long-term investment improving viability in the Golden Gate System; and iv) provide a long-
term strategy to address environmental impacts. Based on their review of available information
(e.g., available reports, permits, operational data) and on-site inspections of the water and
wastewater treatment facilities, findings and conclusions are presented in the "Technical
Feasibility Study for Acquisition of FGUA Water and Wastewater Assets in Golden Gate" (the
"Technical Feasibility Study") report dated June 13, 2017. A copy of the executive summary for
the Technical Feasibility Study is included in Appendix A of this report.
At the request of the County, AECOM Technical Services, Inc. ("AECOM") as the consulting
engineer for the District's master plan is currently performing due diligence activities to evaluate
and document the physical condition of the FGUA treatment facilities and the capacity of the
facilities to provide safe and reliable potable water and wastewater service to meet existing and
future customer needs. As a part of this effort, AECOM reviewed existing engineering and
operational reports to gain an understanding of the condition and regulatory compliance of the
potable water and wastewater facilities. In addition, interviews with FGUA and CCWSD
operational staff and due diligence site inspections of the FGUA Golden Gate Utility System
potable water and wastewater treatment facilities were completed. A brief summary of the
findings from the due diligence site inspections is provided below.
AECOM is in general agreement with the conclusions and findings presented in the "Technical
Feasibility Study for Acquisition of FGUA Water and Wastewater Assets in Golden Gate"
report, which are summarized as follows:
1. The existing wastewater treatment plant is in good condition and limited short-term
improvements are needed to maintain wastewater service to existing customers.
Improvements were made recently to the following components of the wastewater
treatment plant:
a. In June 2016, a flow metering device designed to accurately measure the flow from the
effluent pump station to the percolation ponds was installed as directed by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP").
b. In June 2017, repairs (cleaning and coating) to address corrosion at the facility
(including digester steel tanks in package plant 1) were completed to be in compliance
with FDEP regulations.
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 5-2
c. In August 2017, two (2) new positive displacement blowers and associated piping
were installed to service the aeration units.
d. In September 2017, deep injection well system improvements including a 250 kilowatt
generator and deep injection well pad were installed.
2. The existing wastewater collection system is in good condition. Pump station
rehabilitations are recommended for long term use to meet the Collier County Water-Sewer
District standards. Future expansion of the wastewater collection system to areas presently
served by private onsite wastewater treatment systems is recommended to be evaluated.
3. The existing lime softening water treatment facility is in poor condition and further
evaluation of the structural integrity of the existing tankage is required, should it be
retained in service. The existing reverse osmosis treatment facility is in generally good
condition. However, raw water improvements are needed to increase the efficiency of the
membrane filters. The source water for the plant has elevated concentrations of dissolved
iron and organics causing reverse osmosis ("RO") membrane filter fouling issues. Poor
water quality leads to increased maintenance and inefficient operation. Therefore, the raw
water wells are currently being refurbished to address issues related to dissolved iron and
organics.
4. The existing water distribution system is in need of upgrades to address areas where
frequent water main breaks are occurring, which are considered to be a result of improper
construction methods at the time original development. This will require additional capital
investment to improve the condition of the water distribution system. A meter replacement
program has been completed recently and Automated Metering Infrastructure ("AMI")
installation is currently underway.
The County's preliminary plan based on the findings discussed above is to decommission the
water treatment plant facilities and interconnect the Golden Gate potable water system with the
CCWSD potable water system shortly after acquisition and to remove both the reverse osmosis
and lime softening plants from service, with a goal of providing safe drinking water and adequate
fire protection (fire hydrants) throughout the service area. Additionally, the County plans to
continue to perform ongoing renewals and replacements (capital re-investment) on the water
distribution system in a systematic manner to improve the overall long-term service capability.
The County’s plan based on the findings discussed above is to continue the operation of the
Golden Gate wastewater treatment and collection systems in the near-term.
SECTION 6
REASONABLENESS OF PURCHASE PRICE AND TERMS
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 6-1
SECTION 6
REASONABLENESS OF PURCHASE PRICE AND TERMS
125.3401(5) The reasonableness of purchase or sales price and terms.
Based on the review of the utility assets and utility service area (customers and revenues) which
would convey to the District from the FGUA as a result of the transaction, and the proposed
acquisition payment terms as previously established by agreement between the District and the
FGUA, the County is of the general opinion of the following:
1. In accordance with the "Interlocal Agreement Relating to the Acquisition of the Golden
Gate System" between the FGUA and the CCWSD dated March 1, 1999 (the "Acquisition
Agreement"), the CCWSD may acquire the Golden Gate System for a purchase price equal
to the amount required to repay the Golden Gate System's outstanding bonds and any
additional obligations of the FGUA. The CCWSD must also pay a pro-rata share of all
reasonable and verifiable expenses associated with the transfer of the Golden Gate System
by the FGUA to the CCWSD.
As of October 1, 2017, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of debt for the Golden
Gate System is anticipated to total $38,658,753, consisting of:
● Utility Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 Bonds, outstanding principal amount
of $6,315,000;
● Utility Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2012 Bonds, outstanding principal amount
of $16,040,000;
● Utility Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2015 Bonds, outstanding principal amount
of $12,605,000;
● Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan – Loan Agreement CS12090902P,
outstanding principal amount of $656,137;
● Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Loan – Loan Agreement DW1127010,
outstanding principal amount of $777,516; and
● SunTrust Equipment Finance & Leasing Corp. loan pursuant to a Guaranteed Energy,
Water and Wastewater Performance Savings Contract with Siemens, outstanding
principal amount of $2,265,100.
Upon acquisition, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of bonds on the day of the
Golden Gate System transfer will be determined and may be slightly different from the
amount indicated above.
2. All cash balances remaining after the payment of any liabilities (not associated with the
outstanding utility debt shown above) will be transferred to the County. Based on financial
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 6-2
information provided by the FGUA and in support of the financial statements reported in
the Fiscal Year 2106 FGUA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the total amount of
cash and cash equivalents was $13,155,345 (reference Table 3-1 in Section 3) of which the
estimated amount of unrestricted funds (funds available for any system purpose, not
restricted to payment of debt service, specific capital projects, or customer deposits) was
$6,205,853. Additionally, it is estimated that there are $2,285,135 in net capital-related
funds (the Renewal and Replacement Fund and the Water and Wastewater Connection Fee
Funds) that may be available for the financing of future capital projects. There is a debt
service reserve established for the Utility Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 Bonds in
the amount of $631,782, which is anticipated to be available to be applied towards the
financing of the cost of the acquisition by the District. Finally, as of September 30, 2016,
there were unspent bond proceeds, which would be available to be applied towards the
repayment of the outstanding Golden Gate System the financing of the cost of the
acquisition by the District or that may be applied to the financing of capital projects in the
amount of $335,015.
The net immediate financial cost associated with the acquisition to the County is estimated
at $29,500,968 as shown below:
Amount
Total Estimated Bonds Outstanding $38,658,753
Plus: Allowance for Transition Costs 300,000
Less: Estimated Fund Deposit Transfers:
Unrestricted Reserves / Rate Stabilization Fund ($6,205,853)
Renewal & Replacement / Connection Fee Funds (2,285,135)
Series 2010 Bonds – Debt Service Reserve Fund (631,782)
Series 2010 Bonds – Construction Fund (335,015)
Net Amount of Transaction $29,500,968
Net Utility Plant Investment (9/30/2016) (Section 3) $25,044,007
As can be seen above, the net amount of the transaction approximates the net utility plant
in service (original installed cost), a fact which promotes the reasonableness of the
transaction.
In order to evaluate the reasonableness of the purchase price, a comparison of the sale price
per net utility plant investment for this transaction with a survey of 42 other transactions
for which information was readily available to PRMG was performed and is included in
Tables 6-1 and 6-2 at the end of this section. The purchase price was considered
comparable to the average price paid per net utility plant investment for the transactions
surveyed as shown below.

________
[*] Amount derived from the average Price to Net Investment Ratio based on a survey of 42 other
transactions as shown in Table 6-2 at the end of this section.
Since the purchase price is specified in the Acquisition Agreement between two publicly-owned,
not-for-profit entities and essentially represents the assumption of Golden Gate System debt
liability by the County (essentially is for assets in service) which, when recognizing the available
funds that would be transferred to the County, approaches the reported net utility plant
investment of the Golden Gate System, the County considers the purchase price to be reasonable.

SECTION 7
IMPACTS OF PURCHASE
125.3401(6) The impacts of the purchase or sale on utility customers, both positive and
negative.
There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the acquisition of
the water and wastewater utility assets of the Golden Gate System by the District, which are
summarized as follows:
1. The Golden Gate System under District ownership will become a part of a large regional
utility system. Correspondingly, the ability to finance ongoing infrastructure re-investment
needs, the ability to meet increasing regulations on the cost of providing service, and the
overall consistency in the management of utility systems located in unincorporated Collier
County should result in long-term benefits to the Golden Gate System ratepayers.
Additionally, over time the Golden Gate System will receive benefit associated with lower
unit costs for utility service (operations and financing of capital needs) due to the overall
economies of scale that generally result for regional utilities such as the County (ability to
allocate costs over a large customer base, etc.).
2. It is anticipated by the County that upon the acquisition of the Golden Gate System, the
rates for monthly utility service will be adjusted to be consistent with the current District
rates. The current District rates for both water and wastewater service are lower than the
current Golden Gate System rates which will result in a positive impact in the form of rate
relief for the existing Golden Gate System customers. Depending on the directions of the
Board of County Commissioners, the benefits received by the Golden Gate customers
could be significant. Approximately 89% of Golden Gate System water customers and 87%
of wastewater customers are classified as residential customers who receive service
through a 5/8-inch meter (the smallest meter size in service, which is typically used for
providing service to individually-metered single-family residential service customers).
Table 7-1 at the end of this section presents a bill comparison of the current Golden Gate
System rates to the current CCWSD rates at different usage levels. The combined monthly
residential water and wastewater bill comparison as shown on Table 7-1 represents rates as
of August 2017 and is summarized on a consolidated basis in the table below:

basis.
3. Another positive impact of the County's acquiring the Golden Gate System relates to the
County's plans for capital investment in the Golden Gate System. As discussed in further
detail in Section 8 of this report, the CCWSD plans to interconnect the Golden Gate water
system to the CCWSD's regional potable water system with a goal of: i) removing water
treatment facilities from service to provide for improved water resource management and
delivery and the overall regionalization of water service; and ii) providing 100% fire
hydrant coverage to greater than 90% of residences in the primary Golden Gate System
service area. A longer-term goal (within 10 to 20 years after acquisition) is to i) make the
necessary investments to extend regional wastewater service to residences and commercial
properties currently being served by on-site disposal systems (i.e., septic tanks) to promote
the long-term environmental needs of the County and to assure that all wastewater
customers have access to the treatment and disposal needs that meets the then effective
regulations; and ii) interconnect the wastewater systems as the Golden Gate System
wastewater treatment facility begins to reach their estimated useful service life.
4. Management policies would be more beneficial to the Golden Gate System under District
ownership since there will be common and consistent construction standards, extension
policies, fees for new development, customer service and accounting policies, and other
standards applied to new and existing customers of the Golden Gate System (all policies
and fees will be consistent with other County policies and fees).
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 7-3
5. Do to the regional nature of the District System and the more favorable ability to finance
utility infrastructure, the District should be able to better control and correct any current or
future regulatory environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater, and other
environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the
public.
6. Customers of the Golden Gate System should receive improved local representation
relative to customer service, rate regulatory issues, and overall system operations since
those customers will be served and represented by the BOCC.
The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following:
1. A negative impact associated with the proposed utility acquisition is that, as owner of the
Golden Gate System, the County will have to assume responsibility for operations and
maintenance of the system and ensure that any capital deficiencies are corrected in order to
meet County operating standards. The County will be required to assume all the future
liabilities involved in ownership of the Golden Gate System, if any, and responsibility for
the application of rates and charges.
2. The addition of the Golden Gate System and the attendant additional debt in order to
finance the acquisition of such system will have a near-term negative fiscal affect to the
current financial position of the District System. Although it is anticipated that there would
be a reduction in several financial metrics of the District System (e.g., net revenue margin
relationship, debt service coverage, etc.), the acquisition of the Golden Gate System is not
anticipated to have a significant impact on the existing customers currently being served by
the District or to result in an immediate reduction to the credit rating of the District from a
financial standpoint. The transaction will not compromise the ability of the District Net
Revenues to meet the rate covenants as delineated in the Bond Resolution which authorized
the issuance of the Districts outstanding utility revenue bonds (senior lien).

SECTION 8
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT REQUIRED
125.3401(7) Any additional investment required and the ability and willingness of the County to
make that investment.
As documented in Section 5 regarding the current physical condition of the Golden Gate System,
it was determined that the wastewater treatment facility and collection system are in generally
good condition. However, continued capital investment is required to maintain the wastewater
treatment facilities and the collection system. Initial upgrades were recommended in the
Technical Feasibility Study report dated June 13, 2017. The Technical Feasibility Study includes
the following near-term improvements and evaluations for the wastewater system:
Estimated Costs for Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment and Collection System
Near-Term Improvements and Evaluations [1]
Project Amount
Replace Hatches / Handrails and Address Corrosion at Headworks $95,000
Address Corrosion at Facilities 60,000
Repair Pump Mount and Remove Corrosion / Coat Piping at the
Deep Injection Well Pump Station 25,000
Evaluate Generator Capacity 10,000
Perform Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation Study 100,000
Total Cost $290,000
________
[1] Amounts shown are contained in Technical Feasibility Study report; reference Appendix A at the end of this
report for a copy of the executive summary to the Technical Feasibility Study.
AECOM concurs with the $190,000 earmarked for near-term wastewater treatment plant
upgrades given the recent improvements made. However, it is recommended that the $100,000
identified for Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation Study be increased so that a Sanitary
Sewer Assessment can be completed to identify deficiencies in the collection system and to
develop a prioritized list of improvements to be implemented as part of a capital improvement
program. The Sanitary Sewer Assessment is recommended to include field investigative work
such as television inspection and manhole inspections. Therefore, preliminary costs for this
assessment are estimated to be approximately $300,000 to $400,000, which would increase the
budget for the Collection System Rehabilitation Study to $400,000. Consequently, the
recommended implementation cost for near term improvements is $590,000.
AECOM observed that the FGUA potable water distribution system is in need of upgrades.
Also, the lime softening water treatment facility is in poor condition, requiring further evaluation
of the structural integrity of the existing tankage. The RO system is in need of upgrades to
improve efficiencies, which ultimately require refurbishment and expansion of the raw water
supplies. Similar observations were noted in the Technical Feasibility Study along with
recommended near-term improvements to interconnect the FGUA potable water service area
with the CCWSD potable water service area. The interconnection proposed in the Technical
Feasibility Study included new piping from the CCWSD potable water main located at the
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 8-2
intersection of Collier Boulevard and Green Boulevard to the existing FGUA potable water
storage tank and booster pump station (located on Green Boulevard), along with the addition of a
2 million-gallon (MG) potable water storage tank and expansion of the existing booster pump
station. The Technical Feasibility Study also recommended near-term projects to complete a
detailed evaluation of the FGUA Water Treatment Plant, an evaluation of the potable water
production well performance, and a water distribution system rehabilitation study. The costs of
these near-term improvements are summarized below:
Estimated Costs for Golden Gate Water Treatment and Distribution System

________
[1] Amounts shown are contained in Technical Feasibility Study report; reference Appendix A at the end of this
report for a copy of the executive summary to the Technical Feasibility Study.
AECOM is in agreement with the conclusion provided in the Technical Feasibility Report that
upgrades are needed to the potable water distribution system, and the FGUA potable water
system is recommended to be interconnected with the CCWSD potable water system. However,
AECOM recommends that the plan to interconnect the systems be modified to include three
interconnection points and the decommissioning of the Water Treatment Plant, a plan currently
being evaluated by CCWSD staff. The FGUA potable water service area is contiguous with the
CCWSD potable water service area and it is located in close proximity to the South County
Regional Water Treatment Facility. Therefore, decommissioning the FGUA Water Treatment
Plant facilities in lieu of planning to make the necessary upgrades to the RO system and raw
water supplies is recommended after the two potable water service areas are interconnected.
The CCWSD is currently developing construction plans to interconnect the CCWSD potable
water system to the FGUA system in three locations. AECOM has reviewed 60% design plans
to interconnect the potable water systems (three locations) and the opinion of probable
K:\DC1125-45\Rpt\Chapter 125 Report\Briefing Doc 125 Hearing 8-3
construction cost that has been developed and concurs with the preliminary plans and associated
probable construction cost of $1.1 million. However, AECOM recommends that additional
hydraulic modeling of the potable water system be completed to verify that the system is able to
meet the current CCWSD level of service standards associated with available pressure, potable
water storage, and domestic and fire protection demands. AECOM anticipates the cost of this
modeling would be approximately $150,000. AECOM also recommends that $100,000 should
be put in place to address piping upgrades along with the $100,000 earmarked in the Technical
Feasibility Report for a Water Distribution System Rehabilitation Study. The purpose of the
Study is to complete a detailed assessment of the water distribution system in order to identify
deficiencies, planned improvements with construction costs, and a prioritization of
improvements to facilitate capital planning. The total cost for recommended near-term
improvements and evaluations for the water system would be $1.45 million. The County staff is
currently evaluating options associated with decommissioning or reusing the existing facilities,
and there will be additional costs depending upon the option ultimately selected.
The Technical Feasibility Study report also provided estimated costs for future improvements to
be implemented within a ten-year period to increase reliable potable water service and provide
100% fire hydrant coverage to greater than 90% of residences in the primary service area. The
budgetary cost estimate for these "Phase 2 Improvements" is $21,212,250.
Finally, the Technical Feasibility Study report provided cost estimates for long-term
improvements to provide increased wastewater service to residences and commercial properties
currently on septic tanks that could be implemented between 10 and 20 years after acquisition.
The budgetary cost estimate for these "Phase 3 Improvements" is $26,348,000.
The implementation costs for Phase 2 and Phase 3 Improvements are currently under review by
AECOM.
The County has the financial capacity and expertise to finance and manage the additional capital
investment as noted herein for near-term improvements and as delineated in the Technical
Feasibility Report for future improvements.

SECTION 9
ALTERNATIVES TO THE PURCHASE
125.3401(8) The alternatives to the purchase or sale and potential impact on utility customers if
the purchase or sale is not made.
If the Golden Gate System were not purchased by the County, the system would most likely
continue to be operated by FGUA since there exists an existing agreement granting the District
the right to purchase the utility and such utility is located within the service territory of the
District (is not located in any municipality or outside the boundaries of the District). The existing
Golden Gate System would continue to be managed by the FGUA and the customers would
continue to pay monthly user rates as established by the FGUA, which are currently higher than
the rates charged by the District. The capital improvements identified in Technical Feasibility
Study or as identified by the FGUA to address the utility plant issues would still need to be
funded, which could affect monthly service rates in the future if debt financing is required to
fund the improvements.
While it is possible that an outside investor may offer to purchase the Golden Gate System, it is
unlikely that private ownership would provide the same level of benefits to the customers as
provided under FGUA or County ownership nor it is anticipated that the County would assign
the right to purchase the Golden Gate System to a private investor or utility.

125.3401(9) The ability of the purchaser to provide and maintain high-quality and cost-effective
utility service, whether the purchaser is the County or the entity purchasing the utility from the
County.
The District, which surrounds the utility service area of the Golden Gate System, has consistently
operated in a prudent and efficient manner the District System, a large regional public water and
wastewater utility system in Florida. The District has consistently complied with all regulations
required by various regulatory agencies and rate covenants dictated by financing institutions and
has continuously provided and maintained high-quality and cost-effective utility services. In
addition, the District has maintained a renewal and replacement fund / capital improvement fund
for the ongoing capital re-investment / replacement of the utility plant components within the
District system to ensure that the District System continues to provide the adopted level of
service to its customers. The District is rated "AAA" by Fitch Ratings and "Aa1" by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., and these high credit ratings represent a positive reflection on the
management of the District. The District has consistently met the financial and rate covenants
outlined in the Bond Resolution, which authorized the issuance of the outstanding utility revenue
bonds for the funding of capital expenditures.
Based on the foregoing, the management of the District is of the opinion that it will be able to
continually provide and maintain the high-quality and cost-effective utility service required to
