20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already
collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which
may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects such
amount, if any, to be immaterial.
Wastewater Service Interlocal Agreement with Okaloosa County
On August 11, 2009, the City adopted the Wastewater Service Interlocal Agreement with Okaloosa
County (Agreement). The Agreement outlines a long–term association with Okaloosa County Water
& Sewer for the treatment of the City’s influent wastewater flow at a set percentage of the County’s
base sewer rate plus a locked-in annual rate escalator. The agreement provides other ancillary
benefits to the City such as the provision of “no cost” tertiary treated effluent for use as irrigation water
at the City’s’ 36–hole municipal Golf Club. The Agreement is effective for 30 years and can be
automatically extended for up to two additional terms for a period of ten years for each extension
term.
On a monthly basis, the County will bill the City at a rate equal to $2.77 per each 1,000 gallons of
wastewater flow. Additionally, the City will pay to the County the Sewer Readiness to Serve Fee,
which is equal to $4,347 per month. Each year in March, the Readiness to Serve Fee will increase
by 3%. The minimum commitment by the City under the Agreement is as follows:
Fiscal Year Ending September 30

21. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE – RESTATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The GASB issued Statement No. 75, Accounting and Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other
Than Pensions, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. The scope of this statement
addresses accounting and financial reporting for OPEB that is provided to the employees of state and
local government employers. This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring
liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures.
The City has elected to implement GASB 75 during the year ended September 30, 2017. The impact
of the City’s adoption of GASB 75 during the current fiscal year requires it to restate the beginning
net position for both the governmental activities and business-type activities in the City’s government-
wide financial statements. In addition, the City will also restate its beginning net position in the
proprietary funds statement of revenue, expenses, and changes in net position.
The table below summarizes the components of the restatement of net position as of October 1, 2016.
