CHILDREN’S SERVICES COUNCIL OF PALM BEACH COUNTY
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018
Executive Summary
PFM Asset Management LLC
The Council’s Core and Short Term Portfolios are of high credit quality and invested in U.S. Treasury, federalagency/GSE, federal agency/CMO, supranational, asset-backed, commercial paper and corporate securities.
The Core Portfolio opened during the quarter with the first purchase occurring on May 9th, 2018. The portfolioopened with a yield to maturity at cost of 2.58%.
At quarter end, the Short Term Portfolio had a yield to maturity at cost of 2.15%, out yielding the Yield to Maturity ofits benchmark, the S&P Rated GIP Index Government 30-Day Gross of Fees yield of 1.87%.
Despite the myriad of global headwinds to economic growth, including global trade wars and geopoliticaluncertainty, the strength and resolve of domestic economic themes continued to rule the day:
– U.S. GDP grew at 2% in the first quarter with YOY growth up to 2.8%;– Inflation trended higher, as the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) core price index grew at 2% YOY
for the first time since 2012;– The labor market saw continued strength as the U.S. unemployment rate reached a multi-decade low of 3.8%
(before bouncing back to 4% in June), job growth remained robust, and wages trended modestly higher;– The S&P 500 Index grinded out a 3.4% return for the quarter;– The Fed increased short-term rates by an additional ¼ percent in June and is expected to continue to pursue
additional gradual rate hikes over the near-term. In light of continued economic growth, inflation near the Fed’s symmetric target of 2%, and strong labor market
conditions, the Fed appears poised to raise rates further. As a result of the expectation for one or two additionalhikes in 2018 and three to four more in 2019, our view remains that the general trend of interest rates will be toincrease gradually over the near-term. Therefore, we plan to maintain a defensive duration posture to mitigate aportion of interest rate risk relative to benchmarks.

à AGENCIES: Federal agency securities and/or Government-sponsored enterprises.
à AMORTIZED COST: The original cost of the principal of the security is adjusted for the amount of the periodic reduction of any discount or premium from the purchase date until

of proposed 2018-2019 CSC Annual Budget and authorize staff to provide the Property Appraiser the tentative millage rate contained in the Budget (with staff having the authority to adjust the millage rate to provide the same amount of budgeted tax revenue in the event the final figures from the Property Appraiser are different than the preliminary figures used to calculate the tax revenue).
On 6/27/2018, the final letter from the Property Appraiser was received. The final number was a 6.2% increase in the tax base (the preliminary number presented to the Finance Committee was a 5.84% increase). Based on the consensus recommendation of the Finance Committee to adjust the Millage to keep the budgeted tax revenues the same, recommends Council approval of the Millage Rate at .6403 (rather than .6425).

AGENDA ITEM: 3
TITLE: Proposed 2018-2019 CSC Annual Budget
CSC STAFF: Debra Heim, Chief Financial Officer
SUMMARY:
In addition to the notes to the budget, this budget incorporates the goals, strategies and outcomes that have been presented at the Annual Council Planning Sessions.
Ad valorem tax revenue to support the proposed budget amounts to $120,540,063 which is based on a projected 6.2% increase in the total tax base within Palm Beach County offset by a reduction in millage of 2.8%. The proposed millage rate will be reduced to .6403 compared to the prior year millage rate of .6590, reflecting a net increase in revenue of 3.19%.
The proposed 2018‐2019 CSC Annual Budget is submitted reflecting the budget of the Children’s Services Council including its special revenue fund, which is also known as Prevention Partnerships for Children, Inc. The total proposed expenditures are $137,681,992.
Of the total proposed $137,681,992, Children’s Programs Direct Services are budgeted for $113,196,465 or 82.22% and Program Administrative Support is budgeted for $10,220,687 or 7.42% for a combined total of $123,417,152 or 89.64% of the total budget. The Children’s Programs Direct Services budget reflects a 4.46% or $4,835,000 increase from 2017/2018. This increase is attributed to supporting needed growth and newly identified community needs. The Program Administrative Support budget reflects a 4.0% or $393,208 increase which relates to the increase in the total budget as well as the annual evaluation of the allocation of staff to support services and administrative expenses.
The proposed budget for the administrative costs of the Council is $5,591,996 representing a 2.77% or $150,632 increase from the 2017/2018 budget. This increase relates to the increase in the total budget as well as the annual evaluation of the allocation of staff to support services and administrative expenses. The proposed budget for capital expenses is $100,000 for computer hardware and software, representing a 61.9% decrease or $162,500.
The budget being proposed contains a projected 10% increase over the 2017/2018 health insurance premiums, a 3% total merit pool in correlation with staff performance evaluations and .5% total pool in relation to promotional increases.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend the Finance Committee and Council approve the proposed 2018‐2019 Annual Budget. The budget will be the subject of the two TRIM Hearings in September before becoming final.

AGENDA ITEM: 5
TITLE: Annual Review of Compliance with Fund Balance Policy
STAFF: Debra Heim, Chief Financial Officer
SUMMARY:
The Fund Balance Policy (attached), requires an annual compliance review during the budget adoption process. The provisions of the Fund Balance Policy have been complied with for FY 17-18. The proposed budget for FY 18-19 also complies with the provisions of the Fund BalancePolicy.
RECOMMENDATION:
For informational purposes only, no action required.
41
Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County
Fund Balance Policy
The Fund Balance represents the cumulative difference of all revenues and expenditures.
The Council believes that sound financial management principles require that sufficient
funds be retained by the Council to provide a stable financial base at all times. To retain
this stable financial base, the Council needs to maintain a General Fund Balance
sufficient to fund all cash flows of the Council, to provide financial reserves for
unanticipated expenditures and/or revenue shortfalls of an emergency nature, to offset
significant economic downturns or revenue shortfalls, and to provide funds for all
existing encumbrances.
This policy will specify the size and composition of the Council’s financial reserves and
to identify certain requirements for replenishing any fund balance reserves utilized.
The term “sufficient funds” as stated above is interpreted to represent a floor of 27.5% of
the proposed annual operating budget for the subsequent year.
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 identifies five
separate categories of fund balance, based on the extent to which the Council is bound to
honor constraints specific purposes for which amounts can be spent. Fund balance
classification are as follows:
Restricted - Non-spendable fund balance,
Restricted fund balance,
Unrestricted – Committed fund balance,
Assigned fund balance, and
Unassigned fund balance.
The first two categories are restrictive in nature. The last three categories are those in
which a constraint on resources or spending is imposed by the Council, The categories
are explained in more detail below.
Non-spendable fund balance – that portion of the fund balance that reflects amounts
assets that are not in spendable form (inventory or prepaid amounts) or are legally
required to be maintained intact (principal of endowment funds).
Restricted fund balance – includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific
purposes stipulated by external resource providers (grant providers) constitutional
provisions or through enabling legislation that creates a new revenue source and restricts
its use. Restrictions may be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource
providers.
42
Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County
Fund Balance Policy
Committed fund balance – This classification includes amounts that can be used only
for specific purposes as determined by formal action of the Council itself, using its
highest level of decision making authority (i.e., the Council Members). These funds
cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Council removes or changes the specified
use by taking the same type of action (resolution) that was employed when the funds
were initially committed.
Assigned fund balance – comprises amounts intended to be used for specific purposes.
The intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official (Chief Executive
Officer) or body which the governing body delegated authority. Assigned fund balance
represents the amount that is not restricted or committed. Assigned fund balance
includes:
Assigned for contingencies; funds that provide for emergency situations requiring
cash flow and/or funding of one time costs not included in the annual budget.
Assigned amounts used to balance the annual budget
Unassigned fund balance – this classification includes amounts that have not been
assigned to other funds and that have not been restricted, committed or assigned to
specific purposes within the General Fund.
Replacement
If the fund balance falls below the minimum 27.5% of the proposed annual operating
budget for the subsequent year in each year of a three year period, a specific amount will
be allocated in the Council’s annual budget to be used to replenish the fund to the 27.5%
floor.
Annual Review
Compliance with the provisions of this policy shall be reviewed as part of the annual
budget adoption process.
Fund Balance Policy Adoption
The Fund Balance Policy was adopted on April 24, 2014, and revised on March 31, 2016.
