Hello Russ,

Per your request, we reviewed the permit you provided. Item #4 states:

Nothing in this permit should be construed to limit the authority of the District to declare a water shortage and issue orders pursuant to Chapter 373, F.S. In the event of a declared water shortage, the Permittee must adhere to the water shortage restrictions, as specified by the District. The Permittee is advised that during a water shortage, reports shall be submitted as required by District rule or order. The Permittee is advised that during a water shortage, pumpage, water levels, and water quality data shall be collected and submitted as required by District orders issued pursuant to Chapter 40E-21, F.A.C.

It is recommended the CDD (or delegate) tracks the water usage during a water shortage. The “shall” in that clause of the permit does not leave a lot of wiggle room; however, I did not see other regular/frequent reporting requirements in the permit. As we have advised our CDD clients, it is recommended and best practice to track the water usage on a regular basis anyways to not miss any reporting windows required. The CDD has a max monthly and annual pumping rate (you mentioned below) and hopefully the CDD already has a methodology in place as to stay proactive to not exceed those rates. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you, Joe

Subject: Fronterra Water Management Permit

Gentlemen,

Could you please review the attached Fronterra CDD water management permit and let me know what are the reporting requirements for the District?

I note that we have caps on annual withdraw (17.33 MG) and monthly (2.12 MG). I don’t see the implementation schedule.

I need to make sure the Fronterra HOA is irrigating according to the caps set forth in the permit. Regards,
Russ Weyer

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES FOR THE

FRONTERRA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

The Fronterra Community Development District (“District”) is located in Collier County, Florida. The District is an independent local unit of special-purpose government of the State created in accordance with the Act by Ordinance No. 2016-28 of Collier County (the "Ordinance"). The District encompasses approximately 33 acres of land located entirely within the unincorporated area of Collier County.

The following is a description of accounting procedures followed by the District.

Accounting System

The Fronterra Community Development District follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for Government Fund Accounting.

The District Manager utilizes Quickbooks Pro for its electronic accounting system and has set up the appropriate accounts to manage both the operations and maintenance and debt service accounting processes. The accounts conform to the Uniform Accounting System Manual for Florida Special Districts and other similar local government entities as published by the State of Florida Department of Financial Services Bureau of Local Government.

The accounting system is located at the District Management offices and is backed up at a minimum monthly to three locations. The first location is on the hard drive of the computer that hosts the Quickbooks Pro program. There are also two external hard drives consisting of 1 terabyte of space each that house backup accounting files and electronic files for the District. All other accounting items such as hard copy invoices, checks and District records are kept at the District office.

Both the computer hosting the Quickbooks Program and the District financial files are password protected separately. The District financial files are password protected on the external hard drives while the external hard drives are not password protects. In addition, on-line access to the District bank account is password protected as are the electronic statements emailed to the District at the end of each month.

The District accounts and procedures are audited annually as required by State of Florida Department of Financial Services since the District budget is in excess of $100,000.

Accounting Process Budgets
The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. The District's budgeting process is based on estimates of cash receipts and cash expenditures, which are approved by the Board. The budget approximates a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles).

The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements.

Each year, based on operation and maintenance, contracts and debt obligations, the District's Manager prepares and submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1.
Public hearings are conducted to obtain comments.
Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board.
All budget changes must be approved by the District Board.
The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year and are carried over into the next fiscal year as contingencies.
The budget amounts shown in the financial statements are the final authorized amounts.

The budget for the District is prepared by the District Manager and submitted to the Board for approval.

Cash receipts /Revenue

Generally, no cash is received by the District. Revenue typically falls into the following categories: Assessments, Developer revenues and interest income. At times there may be other miscellaneous income, however, it is accounted for and is usually not significant.

Since the District Management Company is a very small entity, the mail is opened by the District Manager. Checks received via the mail are photocopied before being deposited. The District Manager prepares the deposit and takes the deposit to the bank the same day it is received and makes the appropriate journal entries to account for the deposit. The copy of the check, the portion of the check at the bottom that is kept by the recipient and the deposit slip are all stapled together and placed in the monthly income and expenditures file. The District Manager prepares the monthly bank reconciliation, has it approved by the designated Board Member and presents it to the District Board for review and approval.

For assessments - assessments are levied on either vacant or platted land (lots) within the District and are comprised of two parts: an Operating and Maintenance portion (recorded in the general fund and budgeted separately) and Debt Service assessments (recorded in the debt service funds and budgeted separately). The Debt Service assessment is comprised of two sub-classifications – special assessments and prepaid assessments. Note: there is no distinction between debt service special assessments and debt service prepaid assessments for external reporting. Further, there is no break down required for the principal and interest portion of assessments (special or prepaid) required for external reporting. Assessments are typically levied annually. .

Special assessments (non prepayments) for debt service are considered “long term” as it is levied annually over a 30 year period in conjunction with the 30 year amortization of the related bonds. The District does not direct bill for special assessments to homeowners. The assessment amount is approved by the Board and the roll is prepared. Assessment are generally placed on-roll for platted properties. The prepared roll is then sent to the County Property Appraiser who then verifies the roll and sends it on to the Tax Collector who bills and collects the assessments. Deposits for amounts collected by the County Tax Collector on behalf of the District are sent to the District via check and deposited into the general fund. The Tax Collector’s Office sends a statement to the District summarizing the amount remitted by parcel. The District Manager records the deposit in the general ledger based on the statement received from the Tax Collector and reconciles the statement to the bank advice.

Assessments are direct billed to the various land owners within the District for un-platted properties. Operations and Maintenance assessments for unplatted properties are direct billed on a semi-annual basis and due on October 1 and April 1 of each fiscal year. The debt service assessments for unplatted lands are direct billed and due the month prior to the debt service payment due date. Those payments are received by the District Manager via mail, recorded in the general ledger, deposited the day of receipt using the same process outlined above then sent to the trustee via check in advance of the due date.

Interest income is automatically credited in the bank accounts.

Developer

Developer contributions and assessments typically fall into one of the following categories. Regardless of the category, funds received from the Developer are always a related party disclosure.

The Developer owns land (lots) within the District which is intended to be, but has not yet been, sold to home buyers (or others). The District bills the Developer for funding needed for operations and/or debt service payments.

The Developer owns land (lots) within the District which is intended to be, but has not yet been, sold to home buyers (or others). Typically, if the Developer own lots are platted then the assessments are placed on the roll; if the Developer own land is un-platted then the assessments are billed directly.

In addition, the Developer may provide funds needed for bond closings, bond prepayments or construction of capital assets, those amounts maybe classified as Developer contributions.

Also, the Developer may contribute capital assets to the District. In that case, these are non-cash contributions.

Cash Disbursements

Vendor invoices are received either by mail or email. They are inputted into the system on the date they are received by the District Manager as bills to be paid. The invoice is then filed in the bills to be paid file folder for that month to await payment.

The District pays invoices on the first and fifteenth of each month. The invoices and supporting documentation are forwarded via email to the District Board Member who is designated to review and approve invoices. Once the invoice is reconciled with the supporting documentation and approved by the Board Member, the District Manager prints the check and manually signs each one. Copies of checks are made and filed in the bills to be paid file folder. The bottom portion of the check is removed and attached to the supporting documentation and filed in the same file folder. The original checks are then mailed. The general ledger is automatically updated through the A/P system when invoices were inputted and checks were issued. Checks are pre-numbered and check registers are maintained as well as batch information for reconciliation and control purposes.

If an invoice is received that is outside of the normal routine, the District Manager consults with the designated Board Member and the Developer for approval. A fiscal year-to-date list of all checks disbursed (by vendor) is provided to the District Board at the Board’s scheduled meeting. Also, a general fund budget-to-actual financial plus a balance sheet financial is provided to the Board and significant variances are explained in a footnote. In addition, all anticipated and year-to-date expenditures are scrutinized by the District Manager and the Board during the preparation of the annual budget.

A reconciled and approved check register that includes funding received and deposits made and other financial reports are included in the meeting packages provided in the agenda package to the Board.

Payroll

The District does not have employees. The Board of Directors is compensated for their meeting time by individual meeting. The District Manager submits the pay information to ADP, and ADP automatically withdraws amounts from the GF cash operating account. Payroll reports from ADP are sent to the District Manager who uses them to enter the information into the accounting system.

Capital Assets

The capitalization threshold is $5,000. For ongoing construction, the District Engineer prepares a requisition and it is reviewed and approved by the Board Chair (or designee). Requisitions are also included in the Board packet for Board approval. The requisitions are submitted to the Trustee for payment from the District's Construction Account. The Trustee for the District then disburses funds for payment, either via wire transfer or by mailing a check to the payee. The District Manager then records the disbursement as capital outlay expenditure in the Capital Projects Fund. The Board approves contracts, advertisements of bids, and transfers of property to the District from third parties or the Developer, or from the District to third parties. The District Manager maintains a capital asset schedule reflecting significant additions and deletions.

Long Term Debt

The District must comply with the bond covenants stipulated in the Master Bond Indenture. A district with outstanding bonds is required to have a Trustee. A Bond Trustee is responsible for managing the related debt service and investment activity.

The proceeds of the bonds must be used as designated in the Master Bond Indenture and any surplus funds (proceeds not yet expended) may be invested in the types of investments permitted by the indenture and as permitted by law. The Trustee is responsible for making required Debt Service payments. The funds are disbursed by the Trustee from the District’s trust account via wire transfer or by check. Trust statements are sent to the District monthly and activity is reconciled and is recorded into the general ledger as with other disbursements. Debt service payments (principal and interest) are recorded by the District Manager as expenditures in the Debt Service Fund. Annually and subsequently to the scheduled annual principal payment, debt service reserve requirements are evaluated as outlined in the bond indenture. In addition, the District must comply with applicable arbitrage requirements.

District Bank Account

The District has established a bank account with First Florida Integrity Bank (“FFIB”) of Naples for deposit and withdrawal of general funds and a temporary holding account for debt service funds. There are no bank service charges involved with this account. FFIB has four banking locations in the Naples area. FFIB is also insured through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

On-line access to the District bank account is password protected as are the electronic statements emailed to the District at the end of each month.

The District also files a Public Depositor Annual Report to the Chief Financial Officer with the State of Florida to protect District funds.

Financial Reporting Controls

The Board for each District reviews the respective internal financial statements periodically. These financial statements are prepared by the District Manager. The reports are prepared from the accounting system used for transactions described above. The trial balances from the system are used for the audits and the budget-to-actual reports from the accounting system are also reviewed during preliminary planning. Also, based on various procedures discussed herein, Board minutes and other information for reporting purposes are captured through various means and systems. For instance, significant agreements are reviewed by the attorney and discussed in the minutes for Board approval; for conveyance of assets, documentation is typically submitted to the Board for acceptance of operation and maintenance; for significant repairs the District Manager or Engineer discusses with the Board.

Note - the District does not have a formal disaster recovery plan, but there is a backup of data and, due to the nature of record keeping, management’s position is that trial balances, disbursement lists, etc. could be reconstructed and that based on cost-benefit, the benefit of additional software or more sophisticated software does not outweigh the costs.

Journal Entries

The management company utilizes journal entries to update the general ledger. Most journal entries are manual journal entries, with the exception of accounts payable entries which are generated through an interface with a subsidiary ledger/application (e.g. Accounts Payable module).

Journal entries include, but are not limited to the following:

Investments and interest income
Debt payments
Capital outlay
Assessments
Payroll
Interfund transactions

The District Manager prepares the manual journal entries in the system and reviews all entries prior to posting. The District Manager is responsible for ensuring proper documentation is available for all journal entries. There is no formal review/approval process for journal entries. The District Manager posts the entry which updates the general ledger. Support for the journal entries are kept on the shared drive in the form of cash receipts, invoices, bank and trust statements, requisitions, and payroll registers. Each month financials are prepared for the District. The financials are reviewed and approved by the District Board of Supervisors. Supporting documents are available to the Board members for the review. There is no manual or electronic approval of the financial statements.

Procurement Process

The District is required to follow specific procurement procedures for any contract for goods or services with a value exceeding $195,000. When seeking a contract with an anticipated value at or exceeding $195,000 the District management undergoes the RFP process (Request for Proposals). The District often undergoes the RFP process for contracts that do not exceed $195,000 in cost in order to provide value for the District. First, management of the District determines the project boundaries, which include the scope of the project and the expected budget range. Second, management of the District circulates the RFP information to prospective vendors either by posting an ad in the local/regional newspapers or emailing the RFP document to known, reputable vendors. Third, the District obtains all proposals from responding vendors and the Board evaluates the proposals. The proposers are ranked based on a set of criteria which include price, understanding of the scope of work needed, ability to provide services, and other criteria as deemed appropriate. Fourth, the District selects the vendor with the highest rank. The District sends a letter of contract awarding to the winning vendor and sends a letter of rejection to all of the other vendors.

Application Controls

Input Controls

Transactions are initiated as noted above. Support documents may be in the form of invoices received from vendors and, when applicable, payroll reports received from ADP, the payroll processing company, and/or checks received or wire transfers from Tax Collector.

Data Processing Controls

As noted above, the accounting system is not custom developed and the District Manager does not have access to source code to change the program. The system posts transactions as programmed.

Output Controls

On a monthly basis, reports (month-end reports) are generated. Financial reports (including budget to actual and disbursement information) are provided to the Board for review and approval.
