The Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) of the City of
Casselberry provides citizens and other interested parties with a
basic overview of the City’s financial position. The PAFR
summarizes and condenses the financial activities of the City of
Casselberry’s governmental and business-type activities and
derives its information from the Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The PAFR is
not required to present the same level of detail as the Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report and, therefore, may not fully
conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report includes financial
statements audited by the City’s auditors, MSL, P.A. We invite you

P ROFILE OF THE C ITY
The City of Casselberry is located approximately ten miles northeast of Orlando, Florida, and lies in the
southern portion of Seminole County. Two major roadways, U.S. Highway 17-92 and State Road 436,
intersect, connecting the City of Casselberry to all of Central Florida. City Hall is located at 95 Triplet Lake
Drive, which is off U.S. Highway 17-92. The City of Casselberry is one of seven municipal governments
within Seminole County and operates according to a City Commission/City Manager form of government.
The City Commission is comprised of five elected Commissioners, one of whom serves as Mayor/
Commissioner, and an appointed City Manager. This system combines the political leadership of elected
officials in the form of a City Commission with the managerial experience of a City Manager.
The City has grown from a small, rural, tax-free town in 1940 to a robust population in 2021 of 29,571
citizens which is a 770 resident decrease from the estimated population of 2020 due to more accurate
collection of data and not an actual loss of residents. The City provided a full range of services in FY 2021
that include municipal functions such as police, solid waste services, road maintenance, water and sewer
utilities, parks, recreation, economic development, planning and community development, as well as
administrative support for all City functions. The City’s tax base is comprised of primarily retail
businesses, offices, and residential homes with a small amount of light Industrial businesses. Recent
strategic decisions of the City Commission have poised the City to experience a resurgence of growth
through recent development commitments.

P ROFILE OF THE C ITY
Casselberry has a total area of 7.1 square miles and is a mature city with future growth being driven
largely through redevelopment. Ad valorem taxes generated from the adopted millage rate paid by the
City’s real property owners are used to provide a range of high quality municipal services such as police,
community development, parks, recreation, streets, stormwater and administrative services. In FY 2021,
the City’s millage rate was 2.9990 mills for ad valorem taxes, well under the maximum millage rate of 10
mills allowed by the State of Florida.
The City sets utility rates to provide for the capital and operating expenses of the City’s water, wastewater
and reclaimed water utility system. In August, 2017, the City Commission approved a new five-year utility
rate study. As a result, water and reclaimed water rates increased 6% and wastewater rates increased 1%
in FY 2018 through FY 2021. This scheduled rate increase has provided the resources necessary for the
City to maintain and update the utility infrastructure. Resources are primarily dedicated to renewal and
replacement of existing facilities rather than expansion due to the mature developed status of the City.

Concord Drive Improvements
Construction of Concord Drive Improvements was completed in Fiscal Year 2021. Concord Drive connects
Anchor Road to US 17-92 and is fronted by a combination of residential and commercial
properties. Concord Drive had gaps in the sidewalk and nuisance drainage issues where water tended to
pond and even obstruct the sidewalk, and a water main in need of replacement. The Concord Drive
Improvements project addressed these key issues and much more.
The project reconstructed the road from Anchor Road to N. Cypress Way, installing new drainage
improvements and new 6-foot wide sidewalk separated from the road by raised curb. A pond was
constructed on vacant City-owned lots on the south side of Lake Lotus to intercept stormwater runoff before
it discharges to the lake. This area was also landscaped with several Florida-native and Florida-friendly trees
and shrubs. A boat ramp (for City official use only) was installed at this location so the City can better control
invasive aquatic plants on the lake. Colorized concrete crosswalks were installed at Lotus Lane and N.
Cypress Way. The N. Cypress Way intersection also received brick accent treatments for both aesthetics
and traffic calming. In addition, an existing water main was replaced. From N. Cypress Way to US 17-92,
sidewalk gaps were filled, the road was micro-surfaced, and drainage swales were installed.
Both Lotus Lane and Lotus Lake
Drive were micro-surfaced, providing
a fresh new appearance. In addition,
a new emergency overflow pipe was
installed to reduce flood risk for homes on Lake Lotus during major
storm events.
The City of Casselberry has set a
goal to become the most walkable,
rollable, and bikeable city in Central
Florida by the year 2040.
Construction of the Concord Drive
Improvements project is helping the
City achieve this goal by creating a
safer and complete sidewalk that is
accessible for people walking and
rolling (e.g., using wheelchairs or
other assistive devices.) The project
was funded by a combination of Penny Sales Tax, Gas Tax, Stormwater Utility Fund, Water/Sewer Utility
Fund, and the City’s Tree Replacement Fund.

Municipal Way Parking Lot
The City of Casselberry is expanding the number of
parking spaces available within Lake Concord Park.
The City identified a need for additional spaces in a
parking study and committed to design and
construction of 26 spaces adjacent to City Hall. The
additional spaces can be used for events, daily
business activity with City Hall, and general use of
Lake Concord Park. The parking lot will be
constructed and open to the public in the summer of
2022.
Icon Commons
Icon Commons is proposed as a six-story
mixed-use building located at 380 State Road 436.
The unique feature for Casselberry is the urban component of the building to encourage mixed uses
(retail on the first floor and residential on the above
floors). This aesthetically appealing mixed-use
design will encourage pedestrian activity.
Wendy’s at Oxford Road
A proposed Wendy’s restaurant will be the first
development in the Casselberry Oxford Park Overlay
District that includes extra design standards. The
more urban site design with the building oriented
closer to State Road 436, screen drive-through
facilities, architectural elements, and landscaping
will replace a blighted and abandoned Denny’s
restaurant.
Veterinary Emergency Clinic
The assemblage of land was needed for property
located at 245 Lake Ellen Drive and 3340 S. U.S.
Highway 17-92. A rezoning, site plan, and
engineering plans were approved to allow for
construction of the new Veterinary Emergency
Clinic, which is a 24-hour clinic for animals. The
current location is in Casselberry as the business
owners sought a more visible location with better
access for emergency conditions, as well as a site
with more parking. The new construction replaces a
demolished one-story building that had functional
obsolescence and formed a blight within the CRA along a major visible corridor within Casselberry.

CASSELBERRY —THE PLACE TO BE FOR FUN AND ACTIVITIES
Five multi-colored totems from the Dorothy Gillespie Foundation have been installed at Lake Concord Park
near the fountain area.
As part of a traveling exhibit, these pieces were on display in
June 2021 at the Philadelphia Flower Show. It is the nation's
largest and the world’s longest-running horticultural event (193
years) that features stunning displays by some of the world’s
premier floral and landscape designers.
The 2021 Rotary Club of Casselberry’s
Community Arts Calendar Exhibit took
place in the Art House and displayed the
artwork of the thirteen finalists whose
pieces were featured in the calendar, as
well as several other artists who submitted
pieces for consideration.
Best of the Seniors, Students, and
Instructors of the Art House Exhibit
featured the artwork of seniors (55+),
students, and instructors who helped
make the Art House a home to so
many and offered the community the opportunity to experience various
mediums, approaches and skills.
The Art House spent National
Women’s Month with the Women
Artists Group (WAG) as they
explored the ever-changing world in
“Transformational Times."

F INANCIAL A CTIVITY —S TATEMENT OF N ET P OSITION
The following financial summary is based upon a condensed view of the City’s assets and liabilities for all
governmental and business-type funds as of September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020.
Net position is the difference between assets and liabilities, referred to as a balance sheet in the private sector.
When you look at this statement, it is important to consider the direction that net position is flowing and the speed at which it is changing. In FY 2021 there was a total net increase of $5,879,093 in the City’s net position of which
governmental activities increased net position by $2,448,269 and business type activities increased net position by
$3,430,824. The increase in governmental net position was primarily due to unspent commitments for capital
projects. The growth in business-type activities was primarily due to the effective budgeting effort in the Utility
enterprise to maintain current year expenditures in relation to charges for services for the current year. As reflected
in the growth in net assets, the City is prudent with its resources.
Current and Other Assets – Assets that can be
reasonably expected to convert to cash or be consumed within one year.
Capital Assets – The City’s long-term investments in land,
buildings, equipment, improvements, infrastructure, and
construction in progress. The City uses these capital
assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending.
Deferred Inflows of Resources – The acquisition of net
position that applies to future periods and will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that applicable time.
Deferred Outflows of Resources – The consumption of
net position that applies to future periods and will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expenditure or
expense) until that applicable time.
Current and Other Liabilities – This is money owed that
will be paid off in one year or less. This includes accruals
such as accounts payable, payroll payable, interest
payable, and revenue that has not met recognition criteria.
Long-Term Liabilities – This category is primarily
outstanding debt obligations of the City. The proceeds from these various debt obligations are used to finance
large projects such as water, sewer and roadway
construction and major equipment purchases.
Net Investment in Capital Assets – The City’s
investment in its capital assets less accumulated
depreciation and any outstanding debt related to the
capital assets.
Net Position – The difference between total assets and
total liabilities. This provides the reader information as to the availability of resources to meet current and
future needs.
Restricted Net Position – This is the component of net
position that has externally imposed commitments of
the City’s net position. Parts of the City’s net position
are set aside for debt service, capital projects, and
specific projects and programs established by the City
Commission.
Unrestricted Net Position – Resources accessible to the City to provide services to the residents if there
were no additional revenues or resources available.

S TATEMENT OF A CTIVITIES
The following graphs show revenues and expenses for Governmental and Business-type activities as they
relate to the program category in which the money was collected or spent. Governmental activities include
general government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, and culture/
recreation. Business-type activities are comprised of water, wastewater and reclaimed water utilities and the
revenue and expenses related to the operation of the City’s golf course.
Business-type
activities charge fees
adequate to cover
the cost of daily
operations and any
capital needs.
Revenue from
business-type
activities exceeded
expenses in FY 2021
by $4,785,094. The
Utility Fund provides
for water and
wastewater
operations for
citizens inside and
outside of the City
limits. There are
significant operating
and capital costs for
these activities. Revenue in some years exceeds expense due to the costly planning and execution of
capital projects. The City’s golf course experienced higher revenues than expenses collected by $155,366.
The City acquired the course in 2015 and is investing in this community asset to improve the recreational
enjoyment of the course.
This graph shows
how much the revenue collected
covers the costs of
services provided.
Police Department
operations are
considered a public
safety program,
which represents the
largest deficit from
associated revenues.
These expenses
account for 34% of all
governmental activity
expenditures. The
City’s policy on
other programs is to
charge minimal fees
to the users of
services to offset
some of the costs of the program, and to ensure that high quality services are provided to citizens. The
graph above shows how the expenses exceed generated revenue by program.
12
G OVERNMENTAL A CTIVITIES
The City follows accounting rules
applicable to governments. These
accounting rules require the use of
separate buckets of money (called funds)
to account for all activities. Funds are
divided according to the source of the
revenue and the General Fund is the
bucket of money that is unrestricted and
can be used for any purpose. The General Fund provides for many of the City’s
municipal operations such as public safety
(police), street and roadway maintenance,
parks and recreation activities, community
development activities, stormwater, solid
waste and all administrative support for
these activities. Other funds that are
classified as governmental funds can be
special revenue funds, (where there is a restricted use for the revenue), capital
projects funds (where the revenue must be
used for capital projects,), or debt service funds (where the revenue must be used to pay for outstanding debt). The
reader should keep in mind that this is summarized information, and should refer to the City’s Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report for FY 2021 to discover more detailed information. Charges for services (23%) include revenue from
fees charged to provide services such as stormwater, solid waste, and parks and recreation services. This is a
relatively constant revenue stream. Property taxes (20.1%) increased in dollar value due to appreciation in property
values and growth within the City. The Infrastructure Surtax is a sales tax approved by Seminole County citizens that restricts the revenue to be used only for defined infrastructure projects. Intergovernmental revenue is revenue that is
shared, primarily from the State. Capital Grants and Contributions are made up of grants from other governmental
agencies. When comparing FY 2021 to FY 2020, this revenue source can vary widely and the revenue received can
only be used for grantor approved expenditures. Other primary revenue sources include franchise fees, public service
taxes and sales tax. There are various other minor sources of revenue to support the City’s governmental functions.

G ENERAL F UND
As the General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and its revenues can be used for any lawful
purpose, it is helpful to review activity in this fund. The General Fund is where property taxes and a
majority of the City’s expenditures are accounted for, including public safety (police), streets
maintenance, parks and recreation and City administration. Total revenues (not including Other Sources)
increased by $412,647, while total expenditures (not including Other Sources) decreased by $911,424
from the prior year. Investment Income decreased by $177,633 over FY 2020. Miscellaneous Revenues
also decreased in the amount of $37,495 while Taxes increased by $349,411 over FY 2020. The largest
decrease in expenditures was in Physical Environment in the amount of $1,350,857. General
Government decreased by $155,635 and Debt Service decreased by $58,285. Much of the decrease in
expenditures can be attributed to the completion of construction of the Sausalito Shores Wall in the prior
fiscal year. The remaining differences in expenditures were due to routine variations.
General Government: Financial and administrative
services provided for the benefit of the public and the
governmental body as a whole.
Public Safety: Services provided by the City for the safety and security of the public. This category includes
activities of the Police Department in addition to Code
Compliance and Building Safety.
Physical Environment: Functions performed by the
City to achieve a satisfactory living environment by
controlling and utilizing elements of the environment for
the community as a whole. This includes stormwater
operations.
Transportation: Costs of providing and maintaining the
safe and adequate flow of vehicles, travelers and pedestrians on City-owned roadways.
Culture & Recreation: Costs of providing and
maintaining cultural and recreational facilities and
activities for the benefit of citizens and visitors.

B USINESS -T YPE F UNDS
Business-type funds are used to report any activity that charges a fee to users for goods or services to
recover the cost of the service provided, similar to private business. The City’s business-type funds account
for water, reclaimed water, wastewater and golf course operations. Over time, these funds generate
enough revenue to cover the costs of their operating and capital expenses. The graph below shows
“Where the Money Comes From” for business-type funds, the graph shows that the majority of revenue
comes from the charges for services. Charges for Services are made up of the fees users pay for water,
wastewater, reclaimed water and other related fees. The “Where the Money Goes” graph shows how the
money was spent in business-type funds. These expenses are largely made up of the
administration and operating costs of running three water production plants, one reclaimed water plant,
wastewater operations, and the golf course. The utility costs tend to be fairly consistent from year to year.
The cost for depreciation can vary with the age of the assets. As the depreciation between years is fairly
constant, it reflects that many of the City’s assets are still within their useful lives and are being depreciated.
