Orange County, Florida 

 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Opinions 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund 
of Bonnet Creek Resort Community Development District, Orange County, Florida (“District”) as of and for the 
fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively 
comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective 
financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of September 30, 2024, 
and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

Basis for Opinions 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of 
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing 
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 
section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical 
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the 
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements 

The District’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for 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. 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or 
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a 
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known 
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is 
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one 
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, 
individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the 
financial statements. 


In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: 

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures 
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. 
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. 
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the 
financial statements. 
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that 
raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable 
period of time. 


We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the 
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters 
that we identified during the audit. 

Required Supplementary Information 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s 
discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information be presented to supplement the basic 
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, 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 Included in the Financial Report 

Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial report. The other information 
comprises the information for compliance with FL Statute 218.39 (3) (c) but does not include the financial 
statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other 
information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit 
of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material 
inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an 
uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards 

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 25, 2025, 
on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance 
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of 
that report is solely 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 effectiveness of the District’s 
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 District’s internal control over financial 
reporting and compliance.

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

Our discussion and analysis of Bonnet Creek Resort Community Development District, Orange County, 
Florida (“District”) provides a narrative overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended 
September 30, 2024. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s Independent Auditor’s Report, basic 
financial statements, accompanying notes and supplementary information to the basic financial statements. 

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 

 

• The assets exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year resulting in a net position 
balance of $6,235,582. 


 

• The change in the District’s total net position in comparison with the prior fiscal year was $852,330, 
an increase. The key components of the District’s net position and change in net position are 
reflected in the table in the government-wide financial analysis section. 


 

• At September 30, 2024, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of 
$1,710,571, a decrease of ($458,997) in comparison with the prior fiscal year. The total fund balance 
is restricted for debt service, non-spendable for prepaid items, assigned for capital projects, and the 
remainder is unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the District’s discretion. 


 

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as the introduction to the District’s basic financial 
statements. The District’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report 
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. 

 

Government-Wide Financial Statements 

 

The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the 
District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. 

 

The statement of net position presents information on all the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, 
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the residual amount being reported as net position. Over 
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position 
of the District is improving or deteriorating. 

 

The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during 
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving 
rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are 
reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. 

 

The government-wide financial statements include all governmental activities that are principally supported by 
assessments. The District does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activities of the 
District include the general government (management) and maintenance and operations functions. 

 

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 District, like other state and local governments, uses fund 
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The District has 
one fund category: governmental funds. 


OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

Governmental Funds 

 

Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental 
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial 
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable 
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such 
information may be useful in evaluating a District’s near-term financing requirements. 

 

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, 
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for 
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better 
understand the long-term impact of the District’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund 
balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund 
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental 
activities. 

 

The District maintains three governmental funds for external reporting. Information is presented separately in 
the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and 
changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service fund, and capital projects funds all of which are 
considered major funds. 

 

The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule 
has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. 

 

Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the 
government-wide and fund financial statements. 

 

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 

 

As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the 
case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities at the close of the fiscal year. 

 

Key components of the District’s net position are reflected in the following table: 

 
20242023Current and other assets2,244,283$ 2,274,446$ 
Capital assets, net of depreciation21,553,418 21,561,372

Unrestricted536,138 793,349 
Total net position6,235,582$ 5,383,252$ 
NET POSITIONSEPTEMBER 30,

The District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, land improvements, and 
infrastructure) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are 
used to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. 
Although the District’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the 
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets 
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. 

 

 

 


GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Continued) 

 

The restricted portion of the District’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions 
on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the 
District’s other obligations. 

 

The District’s net position increased during the most recent fiscal year. The majority of the increase 
represents the extent to which ongoing program revenues exceeded the cost of operations and depreciation 
expense. 

 

Key elements of the change in net position are reflected in the following table: 

 
Revenues:20242023Program revenuesCharges for services3,661,462$ 2,981,496$ 
Operating grants and contributions66,142 49,205

Net position - ending6,235,582$ 5,383,252$ 
CHANGES IN NET POSITIONFOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,

As noted above and in the statement of activities, the cost of all governmental activities during the fiscal year 
ended September 30, 2024, was $2,959,543. The costs of the District’s activities were funded by program 
revenues, investment earnings, and miscellaneous income. Program revenues are comprised primarily of 
assessments. In total, expenses increased from the prior fiscal year, the majority of which is a result of 
expenses related to road resurfacing projects in the current year. 

 

GENERAL BUDGETING HIGHLIGHTS 

 

An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the 
requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in 
preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which 
expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the 
aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The general fund budget 
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, was amended to decrease revenues by $5,257 and increase 
appropriations by $89,929. Actual general fund expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year 
ended September 30, 2024. 

 

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION 

 

Capital Assets 

At September 30, 2024, the District had $26,450,589 invested in capital assets for its governmental activities. 
In the government-wide financial statements depreciation of $4,897,171 has been taken, which resulted in a 
net book value of $21,553,418. More detailed information about the District’s capital assets is presented in the 
notes of the financial statements. 

 

Capital Debt 

At September 30, 2024, the District had $16,715,000 Bonds outstanding for its governmental activities. More 
detailed information about the District’s capital debt is presented in the notes of the financial statements. 


ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND OTHER EVENTS 

 

The District does not anticipate any major projects or significant changes to its infrastructure maintenance 
program for the subsequent fiscal year. In addition, it is anticipated that the general operations of the District 
will remain fairly constant.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING ENTITY 

 

Bonnet Creek Resort Community Development District ("District") was established by Orange County Ordinance 
2000-16 effective on July 27, 2000, pursuant to the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, 
otherwise known as Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. Chapter 190 provides among other things, the power to 
manage basic services for community development, power to borrow money and issue bonds, and to levy and 
assess non-ad valorem assessments for the financing and delivery of capital infrastructure. 

 

The District was established for the purposes of financing and managing the acquisition, construction, 
maintenance and operation of a portion of the infrastructure necessary for community development within the 
District. 

 

The District is governed by the Board of Supervisors ("Board"), which is composed of five members. The 
Supervisors are elected by the owners of the property within the District. The Board of Supervisors of the District 
exercise all powers granted to the District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. 

 

The Board has the responsibility for: 

1. Allocating and levying assessments. 

2. Approving budgets. 

3. Exercising control over facilities and properties. 

4. Controlling the use of funds generated by the District. 

5. Approving the hiring and firing of key personnel. 

6. Financing improvements. 

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) 
Statements. Under the provisions of those standards, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary 
government, organizations for which the District Board of Supervisors is considered to be financially accountable, 
and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that, if 
excluded, the financial statements of the District would be considered incomplete or misleading. There are no 
entities considered to be component units of the District; therefore, the financial statements include only the 
operations of the District. 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements 

The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements. 

 

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) 
report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of 
interfund activity has been removed from these statements. 

 

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment 
is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or 
segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, 
services or privileges provided by a given function or segment. Operating-type special assessments for 
maintenance and debt service are treated as charges for services; and 2) grants and contributions that are 
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not 
included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. 

 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

 

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation 

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and 
the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a 
liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Assessments are recognized as revenues in 
the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are to be recognized as revenue as soon as all 
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. 

 

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus 
and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable 
and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or 
soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers 
revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures 
are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are 
recorded only when payment is due. 

 

Assessments 

Assessments are non-ad valorem assessments on benefited property within the District. Operating and 
maintenance assessments are based upon the adopted budget and levied annually at a public hearing of the 
District. Debt service assessments are levied when Bonds are issued and assessed and collected on an annual 
basis. The District may collect assessments directly or utilize the uniform method of collection under Florida 
Statutes. Direct collected assessments are due as determined by annual assessment resolution adopted by the 
Board of Supervisors. Assessments collected under the uniform method are mailed by the County Tax Collector 
on November 1 and due on or before March 31 of each year. Property owners may prepay a portion or all of the 
debt service assessments on their property subject to various provisions in the Bond documents. 

 

Assessments and interest associated with the current fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual 
and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. The portion of assessments receivable 
due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. 

 

The District reports the following major governmental funds: 

 

General Fund 

The general fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources 
except those required to be accounted for in another fund. 

 

Debt Service Fund 

The debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the annual payment of principal 
and interest on long-term debt. 

 

Capital Projects Fund 

This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major infrastructure 
within the District. This fund was closed out in the current fiscal year. 

 

As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial 
statements. 

 

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use 
restricted resources first for qualifying expenditures, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. 

 

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity 

 

Restricted Assets 

These assets represent cash and investments set aside pursuant to Bond covenants or other contractual 
restrictions. 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

 

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) 

 

Deposits and Investments 

The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and 
non-interest bearing). 

 

The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 
(17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following: 

 

a) The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized 
pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act; 
b) Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality 
rating from a nationally recognized rating agency; 
c) Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; 
d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. 


 

The State Board of Administration’s (“SBA”) Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (“Florida PRIME”) is a 
“2a-7 like” pool. A “2a-7 like” pool is an external investment pool that is not registered with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company, but nevertheless has a policy that it will, and does, 
operate in a manner consistent with the SEC’s Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which 
comprises the rules governing money market funds. Thus, the pool operates essentially as a money market fund. 
The District has reported its investment in Florida PRIME at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. 

 

Securities listed in paragraph c and d shall be invested to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they 
come due. In addition, surplus funds may be deposited into certificates of deposit which are insured and any 
unspent Bond proceeds are required to be held in investments as specified in the Bond Indenture. 

 

The District records all interest revenue related to investment activities in the respective funds. Investments are 
measured at amortized cost or reported at fair value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. 

 

Prepaid Items 

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid 
items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 

 

Capital Assets 

Capital assets which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks and 
similar items) are reported in the government activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. 
Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 
(amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical 
cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition 
value at the date of donation. 

 

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets 
lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are 
constructed. 

 

Property, plant and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following 
estimated useful lives: 

Assets 

Years 

Infrastructure 

30 

Improvements other than buildings 

10 - 20 



In the governmental fund financial statements, amounts incurred for the acquisition of capital assets are reported 
as fund expenditures. Depreciation expense is not reported in the governmental fund financial statements. 

 

 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

 

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) 

 

Unearned Revenue 

Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet 
earned. 

 

Long-Term Obligations 

In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as 
liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life 
of the Bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are 
expensed when incurred. 

 

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as 
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. 
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt 
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt 
proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 

 

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources 

In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes 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. 

 

In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes 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 a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of 
resources (revenue) until that time. 

 

Fund Equity/Net Position 

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for 
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific 
purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. 

 

The District can establish limitations on the use of fund balance as follows: 

 

Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal 
action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of 
Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources 
accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category. 

 

Assigned fund balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors 
that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed. The 
Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover differences in 
estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Assignments are 
generally temporary and normally the same formal action need not be taken to remove the assignment. 

 

The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund 
balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance 
classifications could be used. 

 

Net position is the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred 
inflows of resources. Net position in the government-wide financial statements are categorized as net investment 
in capital assets, restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets represents net position related to 
infrastructure and property, plant and equipment. Restricted net position represents the assets restricted by the 

 

District’s Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. Unrestricted net position consists of the net position 
not meeting the definition of either of the other two components. 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

 

Other Disclosures 

 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of 
revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

NOTE 3 – BUDGETARY INFORMATION 

 

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are 
adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental funds. All 
annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. 

 

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

 

a) Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year 
commencing the following October 1. 

b) Public hearing(s) are conducted to obtain comments. 

c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board. 

d) All budget changes must be approved by the District Board, unless otherwise delegated by the District 
Board. 

e) The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 

f) Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year. 

 

NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS 

 

Deposits 

The District’s cash balances were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or by a collateral pool pledged 
to the State Treasurer. Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act", requires all 
qualified depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to 
various percentages of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any 
applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally, U.S. Governmental and 
agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the 
depository's financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public 
depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. 

 

Investments 

The District’s investments were held as follows at September 30, 2024: 

 
Amortized CostCredit RiskMaturitiesFirst American Government 
Obligations Fund Class V $ 1,235,192 S&P AAAmWeighted average of the fund 
portfolio: 31 daysTotal Investments1,461,270$ 
Florida PRIME226,078 S&P AAAmWeighted average of the fund 
portfolio:39 days

Credit risk – For investments, credit risk is generally the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its 
obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally 
recognized statistical rating organization. Investment ratings by investment type are included in the preceding 
summary of investments. 

 

Concentration risk – The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer. 

 

Interest rate risk – The District has adopted the State’s alternative investment guidelines as a part of its 
compliance with Sec. 218.415(17) F.S., that limits investment maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair 
value losses arising from increasing interest rates. 


NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) 

 

Investments (Continued) 

However, the Bond Indenture limits the type of investments held using unspent proceeds. 

 

Fair Value Measurement – When applicable, the District measures and records its investments using fair 
value measurement guidelines established in accordance with GASB Statements. The framework for 
measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. 

 

These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, in order of highest priority, as follows: 

 

• Level 1: Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical investments 
in active markets that the District has the ability to access; 
• Level 2: Investments whose inputs - other than quoted market prices - are observable either directly 
or indirectly; and, 
• Level 3: Investments whose inputs are unobservable. 


 

The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that 
is significant to the entire fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of 
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 

 

Money market investments that have a maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less and are held by 
governments other than external investment pools should be measured at amortized cost. For external 
investment pools that qualify to be measured at amortized cost, the pool’s participants should also measure 
their investments in that external investment pool at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. 
Accordingly, the District’s investments have been reported at amortized cost above. 

 

External Investment Pool – With regard to redemption gates, Chapter 218.409(8)(a), Florida Statutes, states 
that “The principal, and any part thereof, of each account constituting the trust fund is subject to payment at 
any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the Executive Director may, in good faith, on the 
occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of the trust fund, for 48 hours limit 
contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that the Board can invest moneys entrusted to it 
in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action must be immediately disclosed to all participants, the 
Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant 
Local Government Advisory Council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting as soon as 
practicable from the time the Executive Director has instituted such measures and review the necessity of 
those measures. If the Trustees are unable to convene an emergency meeting before the expiration of the 48-
hour moratorium on contributions and withdrawals, the moratorium may be extended by the Executive 
Director until the Trustees are able to meet to review the necessity for the moratorium. If the Trustees agree 
with such measures, the Trustees shall vote to continue the measures for up to an additional 15 days. The 
Trustees must convene and vote to continue any such measures before the expiration of the time limit set, but 
in no case may the time limit set by the Trustees exceed 15 days.” With regard to liquidity fees, Florida 
Statute 218.409(4) provides authority for the SBA to impose penalties for early withdrawal, subject to 
disclosure in the enrollment materials of the amount and purpose of such fees. At present, no such disclosure 
has been made. 

 

As of September 30, 2024, there were no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any other 
requirements that serve to limit a participant’s daily access to 100% of their account value. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


NOTE 5 – INTERFUND RECEIVABLES, PAYABLES AND TRANSFERS 

 

Interfund receivables and payables at September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Debt service374,198 - 
Capital projects fund- 4,513 
Total 378,711$ 378,711$ 

 

The outstanding balances between funds result primarily from the time lag between the dates that 
transactions are recorded in the accounting system and payments between funds are made. In the case of 
the District, the balances between the general fund and the debt service fund relate to assessments collected 
in the general fund that have not yet been transferred to the debt service fund. 

 

Interfund transfers for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, were as follows: 

 

 
FundTransfer inTransfer outGeneral-$ 953,672$ 
Capital projects fund953,672 - 
Total 953,672$ 953,672$ 

 

Transfers are used to move revenues from the fund where collection occurs to the fund where funds have 
been reallocated for use. Amounts transferred from the general fund to the capital projects fund were made 
in accordance with the budget in order to fund capital projects.

NOTE 7– LONG-TERM LIABILITIES 

 

Series 2016 

On October 14, 2016, the District issued $25,605,000 of Special Assessment Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 
due on May 1, 2034, with interest rates ranging from 4.5%. The Bonds were issued to refund the District’s 
outstanding Special Assessments Bonds, Series 2002. Interest is paid semiannually on each May 1 and 
November 1. Principal on the Series 2016 Bonds is paid serially commencing on May 1, 2017, through May 1, 
2034. 

 

The Series 2016 Bonds are subject to redemption at the option of the District prior to their maturity. The 
Series 2016 Bonds are subject to optional redemption. The Bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory 
redemption prior to their selected maturity in the manner determined by the Bond Registrar if certain events 
occurred as outlined in the Bond Indenture. 

 

The Bond Indenture established a debt service reserve requirement as well as other restrictions and 
requirements relating principally to the use of proceeds to pay for the infrastructure improvements and the 
procedures to be followed by the District on assessments to property owners. The District agrees to levy 
special assessments in annual amounts adequate to provide payment of debt service and to meet the reserve 
requirements. The amount in the debt service reserve account meets the debt service reserve requirement. 
The District was in compliance with the requirements at September 30, 2024.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 

 

 

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget for the general fund. 
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 legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the 
aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved 
by the Board of Supervisors. The general fund budget for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, was 
amended to decrease revenues by $5,257 and increase appropriations by $89,929. Actual general fund 
expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S 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 Supervisors 

Bonnet Creek Resort Community Development District 

Orange County, Florida 

 

We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities and 
each major fund of Bonnet Creek Resort Community Development District, Orange County, Florida (“District”) 
as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, 
which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued our opinion thereon 
dated, March 25, 2025. 

 

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’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 District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’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 a combination of deficiencies, in 
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’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 was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section 
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, 
significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal 
control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies 
may exist that were not identified. 

Report on Compliance and Other Matters 

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from 
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, 
contracts, and 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.

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the District complied, in all material respects, with the specified

procedures to obtain evidence about whether the District complied with the specified requirements. The 
nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of 
the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide 
a legal determination on the District’s compliance with specified requirements. 

 

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant 
ethical requirements relating to the examination engagement. 

 

In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the 
fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
