DRAFT BUDGET
FISCAL YEAR 2027

Page 4 of 62

Page 5 of 62

At its core, the Town’s budget begins with a straightforward question: What does it cost to
operate the Town of Ocean Ridge and provide the services our residents rely upon each
day?
For Fiscal Year 2026–2027, the Town’s personnel and organizational operating costs total
$11,394,829. This represents the fundamental cost of Town operations — staffing public
safety and municipal services, maintaining infrastructure and facilities, providing
administrative and professional services, and supporting the day-to-day functions of the
Town. This figure excludes both capital expenditures and debt service and therefore
provides the clearest picture of the Town’s underlying operational cost.
Beyond those recurring operational expenses, the FY 2026–2027 budget includes $382,370
in debt service and $4,300,200 in capital outlay, of which approximately $4,035,000
represents the Town’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The total FY 2026–2027 budget is $20,690,769 across the Town’s budgeted funds and
appropriations. It is important to distinguish this total budget from the annual cost of
operations. The budget is a spending and financial plan — not simply a measure of what it
costs to run Town government. It includes capital investments, debt obligations, fundspecific appropriations, and other planned uses of available financial resources.
The Town also enters FY 2026–2027 from a position of financial strength. The General Fund
Unassigned Fund Balance is projected to be approximately $6.5 million at the end of FY
2026, equivalent to approximately 60.5% of FY 2027 budgeted General Fund expenditures.
This reserve position provides meaningful financial stability and the ability to respond to
emergencies, revenue disruption, unanticipated infrastructure needs, and changing
economic or legislative conditions.
The FY 2026–2027 budget is built upon a projected tax base exceeding $1.8 billion and
anticipated General Fund revenues sufficient to support the Town's core services, including
public safety, infrastructure maintenance, stormwater management, and general
government operations. The Town's budget is a spending plan, not a request for additional
funding. Budget development efforts have focused on balancing service expectations with

Page 5 of 62

Page 6 of 62

long-term financial sustainability while continuing investments in resiliency, water
infrastructure, and public facilities.
The FY 2026–2027 balanced budget reflects several key expenditure drivers that support
the Town's strategic priorities and operational needs. Major factors influencing the budget
include ongoing infrastructure investments, stormwater resiliency projects, personnel and
benefit costs, public safety services, debt service commitments, and inflationary impacts
on goods, services, insurance, and construction-related expenses. These investments are
intended to preserve service levels, maintain critical infrastructure, and support the Town's
long-term financial and operational sustainability.
The Town continues implementation of a
multi-year infrastructure strategy focused
on resiliency, water system reliability,
drainage improvements, roadway safety,
and protection of public assets. The FY
2026–2027 Capital Improvement Program
includes $4.035 million in planned
investments, with emphasis placed on
watermain modernization, stormwater
improvements, seawall protection, public
facility hardening, and long-term resiliency
planning.

Based upon preliminary estimates
prepared by the Palm Beach County
Property Appraiser, Ocean Ridge could
experience annual revenue reductions
ranging from approximately $525,740 to
$829,515 depending upon the final
exemption structure adopted by Florida
voters. These estimates represent a
significant fiscal consideration for a
municipality of Ocean Ridge's size and
underscore the importance of
maintaining flexibility during the FY
2026–2027 budget process.

Several projects are positioned to leverage
outside funding opportunities through state
and federal grant programs, reducing the
financial burden on local taxpayers while
advancing critical infrastructure needs. Two examples of projects utilizing shared funding
are:

➢ Phase 2 Watermain Replacement – this project has been awarded $300,000 in
State Legislative Appropriations funds which will lessen the Town’s taxpayer burden.
➢ Hudson Avenue Seawall – an application is in the final stages of approval with FEMA
for a $600,000 grant award toward construction.
The ability to pair local resources with state and federal funding allows Ocean Ridge to
advance significant infrastructure improvements without relying exclusively upon property
tax revenues or Town reserves.

Given the uncertainty surrounding potential state legislative actions and the proposed
constitutional amendment expanding homestead exemptions, staff has identified several
discretionary projects and expenditures that could be deferred, reduced, or eliminated if
future revenue projections require budget adjustments. The purpose of this watch list is not
to recommend elimination of these items at this time, but rather to provide the
Commission with a proactive framework for responding to unforeseen revenue reductions
while preserving core services and public safety operations.
The most significant opportunities for expenditure reduction exist within the Capital
Improvement Program. While each project advances important Town priorities, the
following initiatives may be deferred to a future fiscal year if necessary:
Project

Potential
Reduction

Tide Retaining Wall Program

$100,000

Blueway Trail Initiative (Planning Phase)

$250,000

Resiliency Planning / Master Plan Update

$250,000

Total Potential CIP Reduction

$600,000

Operational expenditures also present opportunities for targeted reductions should the
Commission determine that revenue conditions warrant additional cost containment
measures. These include but are not limited to:

Special Events funding currently budgeted at approximately $25,000, which reflects
recent programming levels and could be reduced if one or more events are
modified, postponed, or eliminated.

General Government Non-Building Contractual Services budgeted at approximately
$310,000, which supports unanticipated road repairs, infrastructure failures,
permitting expenses, and other operational needs not associated with a specific
capital project. While reducing this appropriation would increase budget flexibility,
doing so may limit the Town's ability to respond to unforeseen maintenance and
operational demands.

Commissioner cellular phone expenditures of approximately $3,000, which could
be eliminated with minimal operational impact.

Page 7 of 62

Page 8 of 62

Legislative consulting and lobbying services totaling approximately $36,000, should
the Commission determine those services are no longer necessary or provide
insufficient value.

Minor interior improvements planned within Town Hall are estimated at
approximately $10,000, which could be deferred until a future budget cycle.

Fire contract reserve funds set aside in the amount of $200,000 to offset (potential)
future contract increases.
The six operation expenditures bullet pointed
equate to $584,000.

Collectively, these identified items represent
approximately $1.18 million in potential
expenditure reductions that could be considered
if revenue projections decline materially during
FY 2026–2027. Staff believes identifying these
options in advance provides the Commission
with flexibility and transparency while preserving
the Town's ability to maintain essential
governmental functions, public safety services, and critical infrastructure operations.
The Town's taxable value
increased by approximately 6.3%
over the prior year, reflecting
continued strength in the local
property tax base.

Staff recommends maintaining the current operating millage rate of 5.4000 mills for Fiscal
Year 2026–2027. While the Town's taxable value growth has remained strong, several
external factors create uncertainty regarding future municipal revenues and warrant a
cautious approach to budget planning. Most notably, Florida voters will consider a
constitutional amendment in November 2026 that could substantially expand homestead
property tax exemptions. If approved, portions of the amendment are expected to take
effect as early as January 2027, potentially requiring local governments to adjust revenue
projections and amend adopted budgets during the fiscal year.
Analysis provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office indicates that
Ocean Ridge could experience meaningful reductions in taxable value under the proposed
exemption scenarios. Based on 2025 tax roll data, the Town currently has approximately
668 homesteaded properties. Under the proposed expanded homestead exemption
structure, the property appraiser estimates annual municipal revenue impacts could range
from approximately $525,740 under a $150,000 exemption scenario to approximately
$829,515 under a $250,000 exemption scenario, assuming the Town's current 5.4000
millage rate remains unchanged. Additional analysis from the Property Appraiser's Office
indicates that approximately 123 Ocean Ridge homesteaded properties currently have

Page 8 of 62

Page 9 of 62

assessed values below $250,000, while 69
properties have assessed values below
$150,000, illustrating that the Town's
relatively small tax base may be
disproportionately affected by changes to
homestead exemption policies.

Given the uncertainty surrounding
the proposed constitutional
amendment and other legislative
initiatives affecting local government
revenues, staff believes maintaining
the current millage rate represents
the most fiscally responsible course
of action for FY 2026–2027.

Should the referendum be approved and the
resulting impacts materially affect Town
revenues, staff anticipates returning to the
Commission with appropriate budget
amendments (as mentioned earlier in this memo) and recommendations regarding
expenditure reductions, project timing adjustments, reserve utilization, or other financial
management strategies necessary to maintain a balanced budget.

The proposed FY 2026–2027 budget therefore takes a measured approach: fund the
approximately $11.4 million necessary to operate the Town, continue strategic investment
in critical infrastructure, meet existing financial obligations, maintain a strong reserve
position, and preserve the flexibility necessary to respond to circumstances that may
change during the fiscal year.
This approach allows the Town to continue providing the level of service expected by the
Ocean Ridge community while maintaining the fiscal discipline necessary to protect the
Town’s long-term financial position.

Respectfully submitted,

Michelle Heiser
Town Manager

The Fiscal Year 2027 (FY 2027) budget is intentionally grounded in the Town of Ocean
Ridge’s refreshed Vision and Mission Statements, as well as the strategic priorities that
were reviewed and affirmed during the Town Commission Budget Workshop held on
June 1, 2026.
During that session, the Commission engaged in a values-driven discussion about the
town’s future, reaffirming Ocean Ridge’s commitment to exceptional public service,
environmental stewardship, and the unique character of the community. The Vision and
Mission were not simply formalities—they were and are treated as living guides to focus
limited resources, guide decision-making, and ensure alignment across departments.
This workshop marked a critical turning point in defining how resources should be
allocated in FY 2027. The Commission emphasized the importance of strengthening
infrastructure, ensuring public safety, maintaining fiscal responsibility, and enhancing the
resident experience —especially considering increasing demands on service delivery and
capital investment.
The priorities identified during the workshop now serve as the foundation for this budget,
ensuring that every dollar spent reflects a thoughtful, forward-looking commitment to the
town’s long-term success.

The Town of Ocean Ridge engaged in a transparent and collaborative budget development
process for Fiscal Year 2027, beginning in June and continuing through the summer. The
Town Commission met regularly through publicly advertised meetings and workshops to
discuss financial priorities, operational needs, and long-range planning efforts. These
sessions provided opportunities for open dialogue between staff, elected officials, and the
public to align on the Town’s goals and the resources necessary to achieve them.
The Commission’s prioritization of key initiatives, including strategic investments in the
Town’s capital improvement plan, have guided the creation of the final budget. Through a
disciplined and inclusive process, the Town developed a budget that reflects its
commitment to responsible stewardship, community-focused service delivery, and
investment in priority improvements that support Ocean Ridge’s continued vitality.

The Town of Ocean Ridge operates three primary governmental funds to account for its
financial activities: the General Fund (001), the Building Fund (101), and the Capital
Fund. Each fund serves a distinct purpose and helps ensure that public resources are
managed responsibly, transparently, and in compliance with applicable Florida statutes.
General Fund (001)
The General Fund is the Town's primary operating fund and supports the essential services
residents rely on each day, including police protection, public works, administration, public
spaces, planning and zoning, and other general government operations. The majority of the
Town's recurring revenues—including ad valorem taxes, state-shared revenues, franchise
fees, and other general revenues—are accounted for within the General Fund to support
these ongoing governmental services.
Building Fund (101)
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2026–2027, the Town has established a separate Building Fund
(101) to account for all revenues and expenditures associated with the administration and
enforcement of the Florida Building Code. This fund was created to comply with Florida
statutory requirements that building code enforcement activities be financially accounted
for separately from general governmental operations.
The Building Fund records permit revenues, plan review fees, inspection-related revenues,
and all expenditures directly attributable to the operation of the Building Department,
including personnel, contractual services, technology, training, and regulatory compliance.
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund is used to plan, finance, and track major infrastructure and capital
improvement projects that preserve and enhance the Town's public assets. These
investments include projects such as roadway improvements, stormwater infrastructure,
water distribution system improvements, facility upgrades, and other long-term capital
initiatives.
Reserves
The Town continues to manage its finances with a long-term focus on fiscal sustainability
and organizational resilience. A cornerstone of this strategy is maintaining a strong
Unassigned Fund Balance within the General Fund to ensure the Town is well-positioned to
respond to unforeseen events, economic uncertainty, and emergency situations.

Page 17 of 62

Page 18 of 62

General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance is projected to be $6.5 million at the end of FY
2026. This amount equals 60.5% of FY 27 budgeted expenditures.
As a coastal Florida municipality, Ocean Ridge takes a prudent approach to financial
practices for maintaining an unassigned General Fund balance. This provides financial
flexibility to address hurricane response and recovery, unexpected infrastructure failures,
revenue fluctuations, and other operational emergencies without disrupting essential
public services.
The Town will continue to allocate available surplus funds in a fiscally responsible manner,
recognizing that maintaining healthy reserves is essential to protecting the community's
financial stability, preserving service levels, and ensuring the Town remains prepared to
respond effectively to future challenges.
Long-Term Debt
The Town of Ocean Ridge maintains a single long-term debt obligation, which was incurred
to finance the construction of the current Town Hall facility. The original loan of $4,000,000
was issued on August 1, 2007, with a fixed repayment schedule concluding on August 1,
2027. The Town makes quarterly payments of $77,793, which include both principal and
interest. This debt is being managed responsibly, with all payments made on schedule, and
the Town remains on track to retire the loan in full by its 20-year maturity date.

Page 19 of 62

Property taxes remain the Town's largest and most stable revenue source. Preliminary
projections estimate ad valorem revenues exceeding $10.5 million.
Additional revenue sources include:



Building permit activity and
development-related fees.
Utility service taxes.
Franchise fees.
State revenue sharing.



Communications services taxes.
Investment earnings and
miscellaneous revenues.
Intergovernmental revenues and
grant opportunities.

While revenues remain strong, staff continues to monitor potential legislative changes
affecting municipal revenue sources and homestead exemptions.

Analysis provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office indicates that Ocean Ridge
could experience meaningful reductions in taxable value under the proposed exemption scenarios.
Based on 2025 tax roll data, the Town currently has approximately 668 homesteaded properties.
Under the proposed expanded homestead exemption structure, the property appraiser estimates
annual municipal revenue impacts could range from approximately $525,740 under a $150,000
exemption scenario to approximately $829,515 under a $250,000 exemption scenario, assuming
the Town's current 5.4000 millage rate remains unchanged. Additional analysis from the Property
Appraiser's Office indicates that approximately 123 Ocean Ridge homesteaded properties currently
have assessed values below $250,000, while 69 properties have assessed values below $150,000,
illustrating that the Town's relatively small tax base may be disproportionately affected by changes
to homestead exemption policies.

Page 20 of 62

Public Safety remains the Town's highest service priority and continues to represent the
largest operational investment within the General Fund.
Funding is provided for:

Police operations and patrol services.

Dispatch and communications services.

Emergency preparedness and response.

Specialized training and certifications.

Vehicle replacement and equipment
maintenance.

Recruitment and retention initiatives.

The budget maintains the Town's commitment
to proactive policing, traffic enforcement,
community engagement, and emergency
response readiness.
Overall Personnel Costs
Personnel-related expenditures continue to
represent the largest recurring operating
expense. The proposed budget includes
funding for:

Salaries and wages.

Retirement contributions.

Health insurance and employee benefits.

Workers' compensation.

Payroll taxes.

This fiscal year’s medical group coverage was
anticipated to see a 15% increase but instead came in with 8.5% increase over the previous
year. Dental group coverage is 5% over the previous year with no increase for next year.
Vision Care and Life Insurance group coverage remains the same as the previous year.
Short Term Disability resulted in a 14.8% decrease over the previous year, and Long-Term
Disability coverage resulted in 34.5% decrease over the previous year. The Town remains
committed to maintaining a competitive compensation structure that supports employee
retention, succession planning, and recruitment of qualified professionals.

The following section presents the operating budgets for each key Town department. To
promote consistency, transparency, and comparability among Florida local governments,
the Town of Ocean Ridge prepares its budget using Florida's Uniform Accounting System,
as prescribed by the Florida Department of Financial Services.
Under this standardized accounting structure, each department is assigned a unique
department code that identifies its operational area within the Town's financial records.
These codes are used throughout the budget document, accounting system, financial
reports, and annual audit to ensure expenditures are accurately tracked and reported.
The legend below provides a reference to the department codes used throughout the
Departmental Budget section. The following pages provide a narrative and further insight to
the Town’s key service departments. The coordinating codes below are provided for ease
of understanding of the budget drafted in the general ledger format.

The Town Commission Department (GL 511.101) represents the legislative and policymaking body of the Town of Ocean Ridge. The five-member Commission establishes the
Town’s strategic direction, adopts the annual budget and millage rate, approves ordinances
and resolutions, sets municipal policies, and provides oversight of the Town Manager’s
implementation of Commission priorities. Through publicly noticed meetings, workshops,
and hearings, the Commission ensures that major decisions are made transparently and
with opportunities for resident participation.
The Town Commission’s FY2027 requested budget totals $62,344, compared with the
FY2026 Amended Budget of $51,024, an increase of $11,320 or approximately 22%. The
increase does not reflect a change in the Commissioners’ annual salaries, which remain
budgeted at a combined total of $6,000.
The variance is primarily attributable to a $5,000 increase in travel and per diem and a
$5,000 increase in liability, hazard, and damage insurance. The additional funds have been
allocated with an understanding that newly appointed or elected officials typically require a
ramp up time to acclimate to the new role. This fiscal year has a newly appointed
Commission for the beginning of the year, completing the term of a vacating Commissioner
due to death. That term ends in March, which brings the new election and potentially new
Commissioners needing additional education and ramp up time. Travel funding supports
Commissioners’ participation in municipal conferences, legislative activities,
intergovernmental meetings, and professional-development opportunities that strengthen
their understanding of emerging policy issues and municipal responsibilities.
Additional adjustments include increases in communications, and professional
memberships and education. These appropriations reflect the Town’s required
employment-related obligations and provide Commissioners with access to legislative
updates, municipal policy resources, and training relevant to their public responsibilities.
Collectively, the FY2027 budget supports an informed, engaged, and transparent governing
body while maintaining the Commission’s direct compensation at its existing level.

Page 22 of 62

Page 23 of 62

The Town Manager Department (GL 512.102) provides executive leadership and
administrative direction for the Town of Ocean Ridge. The Town Manager is responsible for
implementing Town Commission policy, preparing and administering the annual budget,
overseeing daily municipal operations, coordinating the work of all departments, managing
contracts and major projects, and ensuring that Town services are delivered efficiently,
responsibly, and in accordance with applicable laws and professional standards.
The department also serves as the central point of coordination for the Town's strategic
priorities, including infrastructure resiliency, water system planning, public safety, financial
stewardship, organizational development, intergovernmental relations, and resident
service. Through direct oversight of departmental operations and collaboration with the
Town Attorney, engineers, financial professionals, and other specialized consultants, the
Town Manager's Office works to translate Commission direction into measurable action
while maintaining the Town's lean operating model.
The Department's FY2027 requested budget totals $577,856, compared with the FY2026
Amended Budget of $295,879, an increase of $281,977. The most significant factor is a
one-time $200,000 allocation within Other Contractual Services for the professional due
diligence necessary to evaluate the potential creation of, or participation in, a regional
water authority. Excluding this project-specific allocation, the department's FY2027
operating budget is $377,856.
The $200,000 allocation does not represent a commitment to proceed with a water
authority. It provides the Town with the resources to independently examine the proposal
before making a long-term policy decision. Due diligence may include legal, financial,
engineering, governance, asset-valuation, water-rights, service-delivery, rate-impact, and
transition analyses needed to determine whether participation would protect the Town's
interests and provide sustainable value to residents. Should the Town move forward with
this concept, the funds will be transferred out of the Town Manager Department and into a
project specific GL # for proper tracking of all expenditures, as the expectation is that the
new service authority will reimburse the Town.
A portion of this increase reflects the Town Manager’s contractual provision for a cost-ofliving adjustment. The associated salary adjustment also increases the Town’s required
retirement contribution via the State Statues associated with the Florida Retirement
System. The retirement line increases also as the FY2026 amended budget was
understated. The FY2027 request therefore reflects both the incremental effect of the
contractual cost-of-living adjustment and a correction to align the appropriation more
closely with the actual retirement contribution required for the position. The remaining
variance supports limited allocations for equipment, general maintenance, and vehiclerelated expenses, partially offset by reductions in other benefit and travel lines.

The Ocean Ridge Police Department (GL 521.107) is responsible for providing law
enforcement, emergency communications, crime prevention, traffic enforcement, and
community policing services throughout the Town. The PD is staffed by a combination of
experienced leadership and a developing patrol force, supported by a dedicated and
professional dispatch team. Sworn law enforcement personnel average approximately 7.7
years of service, led by an experienced command staff consisting of the Chief of Police,
with 35 years of law enforcement experience, a Lieutenant, four Sergeants, and 10 officers.
Collectively, the command staff averages more than eight years of service with the
Department, providing stability, institutional knowledge, and consistent leadership. The
Patrol Division is comprised of a balanced mix of seasoned officers with extensive local
knowledge and newer officers who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to the
Department. The Communications Division is led by a 12-year veteran who supervises a
team of 5 dispatchers responsible for handling 911 and non-emergency calls, coordinating
emergency response, and managing radio communications for officers in the field.
Overall, the Department's staffing profile reflects a healthy balance of experienced
leadership and emerging talent across both sworn and civilian positions. This combination
positions the Ocean Ridge Police Department to continue delivering exceptional public
safety services while strengthening organizational depth, promoting professional
development, and preparing for future succession needs.
During Fiscal Year 2026–2027, the Ocean Ridge Police Department will continue to focus
on the following strategic priorities:




Maintain exceptional public safety services through proactive policing, rapid
emergency response, and professional law enforcement.
Recruit, develop, and retain highly qualified personnel to ensure the Department
remains staffed with skilled, dedicated professionals.
Strengthening community partnerships and public engagement through outreach
programs, transparency, and collaborative problem-solving.
Invest in technology, equipment, and infrastructure that enhance operational
effectiveness, officer safety, and service to the community.
Support officer wellness, training, and professional development by providing
ongoing education, leadership opportunities, and resources that promote physical
and mental well-being.
Exercise sound financial stewardship by responsibly managing public resources
while meeting the evolving public safety needs and expectations of the Ocean Ridge
community.
Continue maximizing the skill set of our Reserve Officers, who provide services
without salary attachments.

The Public Works Department (GL 541.113) maintains the Town's roads, rights-of-way,
street lighting, vehicle fleet, and general infrastructure upkeep. Consistent with
Commission direction to keep the Town's payroll footprint lean, the department operates
with a staff of two full-time positions rather than building out a larger in-house
maintenance crew. The majority of specialized and labor-intensive maintenance work is
instead delivered through the private sector — a deliberate policy choice that keeps FTE
count and associated long-term benefit obligations low while still ensuring the Town's
infrastructure meets required standards.
The Town's basins, stormwater management areas, and streets are maintained to
government-regulated standards by multiple external companies, each selected through a
competitive procurement process and retained based on demonstrated quality of work
and availability. Public Works crews handle a portion of right-of-way mowing, edging, and
tree trimming directly, but the majority of large tree trimming and common-ground
maintenance Townwide is performed by local landscape companies under the same
procurement and retention standards.
Public Works staff serve as the Town's first responders on municipal water leaks, road
repairs, and similar incidents — triaging each situation and then engaging the appropriate
private contractor based on the nature and scope of the response needed. This model
allows a small in-house team to maintain oversight and rapid initial response across the
entire Town, while variable and specialized workload is absorbed by a vetted bench of
private-sector partners rather than permanent headcount.
The Public Works FY2027 requested budget totals $456,515, a decrease of $12,052 (-2.7%)
from the FY2026 Amended Budget of $468,967. The decrease is driven primarily by a rightsizing of the repair & maintenance line to better reflect actual spending patterns, which
offsets modest increases in personnel and fuel costs elsewhere in the department.
Historical expenditure trends indicate that the Town’s maintenance and repair needs tend
to follow a cyclical pattern, with higher levels of activity occurring approximately every
other year rather than consistently on an annual basis. The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects
this observed cadence, aligning funding more closely with anticipated maintenance needs
while preserving the Town’s ability to respond to necessary repairs and protect its assets.
Total department costs remain essentially flat year-over-year, with the reduced repair and
maintenance costs helping to absorb higher personnel and fuel costs. No new positions,
new capital equipment, or program expansions are proposed for FY2027.

Page 25 of 62

Page 26 of 62

The Town Clerk / Finance Department (GL 513.103) serves as the official recordkeeper for
the Town of Ocean Ridge, responsible for maintaining the Town's public records, preparing
and preserving meeting minutes, administering municipal elections, ensuring compliance
with Florida's public records and Sunshine Law requirements, and supporting the
Commission's official actions. The department also carries the Town's financial
management, budget administration, and treasury-related functions, operating under the
Commission's continued commitment to lean municipal staffing.
Reflecting the Town's broader streamlining of its administrative operations, the Clerk and
Deputy Clerk have also absorbed responsibilities beyond the traditional clerk function —
including planning and zoning support, human resources, community standards, and
payroll administration. Rather than maintaining separate dedicated positions for each of
these functions, the Town has consolidated this work within the existing Clerk/Finance
staff, allowing the organization to do more with fewer people.
Consistent with that same commitment to lean staffing, the Town does not intend to fill the
Treasurer position that has long existed within the organizational structure, during the 2027
fiscal year. Rather than carrying that role as permanent in-house headcount, the Town will
continue to rely on the private sector to provide these services at a higher level of
specialization than an in-house hire would typically offer. In place of an in-house
Treasurer, the Town contracts with separate, independent CPA firms and government
financial consultants to perform the technical and oversight functions the role would
otherwise carry. This approach provides a clear separation of duties between day-to-day
Town staff and the professionals reviewing and advising on the Town's finances, which
adds a structural safeguard that strengthens internal controls rather than weakens them. It
also gives the Town access to a depth of governmental accounting expertise and current
regulatory knowledge that would be difficult to replicate with a single in-house position,
which matters given the increasing complexity of municipal budgeting and Florida's
evolving financial reporting methodologies and requirements. Beyond the oversight and
expertise benefits, this model is expected to deliver cost efficiencies relative to carrying a
full-time Treasurer with associated salary, benefits, and retirement obligations.
The most notable operating change is in Accounting & Auditing, which increases from
$50,500 to $73,000 (+44.6%), the clearest budgetary reflection of the Town's strategy to
expand its reliance on independent CPA firms and financial consultants in place of an inhouse Treasurer. Other Current Charges rise from $5,800 to $17,500, which together with
the Accounting & Auditing increase reflects added consulting and compliance support tied
to this model. Other Contractual Services decreases from $20,300 to $16,300, and Travel
& Per Diem and Subscriptions/Memberships/Education both decline modestly, reflecting
continued cost discipline elsewhere in the department even as financial oversight capacity
is strengthened.

Page 27 of 62

The Inspections Department (GL 524.108), commonly referred to as the Building
Department, is responsible for building permitting, plans review and inspections,
contractor registration and relations, community standards (code enforcement), and
customer service for all permitting and compliance activity in the Town. Beginning in
FY2027, the department is budgeted entirely within its own dedicated Building Fund (Fund
101), separate from the Town's General Fund, with its costs supported by building permit
revenue rather than ad valorem taxes.
The Town's Building Official is a contracted position, filled by Hy-Byrd Inspections, which
provides plans review, inspection, and building official services. Within the office, the
Town employs one dedicated staff member who handles all front-line intake, building
permit processing, contractor registration and relations, community standards
administration, and overall customer service. A second in-house role, a field agent,
handles code enforcement and community standards matters in the field. Both the
Building Administration and field agent positions pursue code compliance and prepare
and manage all documentation required when infractions escalate to the Special
Magistrate level.
The Inspections Department's FY2027 requested budget totals $720,000, funded entirely
within the new Building Fund and matched dollar-for-dollar by projected building permit
revenue of $720,000 — reflecting the department's transition to a self-supporting
enterprise-style structure rather than General Fund support. This compares to a FY2026
Amended Budget of $545,104 within the General Fund, an increase of $174,896 (+32.1%),
driven by the fund restructuring and associated compliance requirements rather than
growth in underlying department headcount.
The department's largest single cost is Professional Services
at $381,900, reflecting the contracted Building Official
services provided by Hy-Byrd Inspections along with
associated plans review and inspection support.

Page 28 of 62

The Capital Fund is used to plan, finance, and track major infrastructure and capital
improvement projects that preserve and enhance the Town's public assets. These
investments include projects such as roadway improvements, stormwater infrastructure,
water distribution system improvements, facility upgrades, and other long-term capital
initiatives.
Funding for the Capital Fund may consist of transfers from the General Fund, grants,
infrastructure-related revenues, and designated reserves. Capital Fund expenditures are
generally one-time investments that improve public infrastructure or extend the useful life
of existing assets rather than supporting ongoing operational costs.
The Town’s capital priorities are guided by public safety, infrastructure reliability,
resiliency, responsible asset management, and long-term financial sustainability. Projects
are evaluated based on urgency, condition of existing infrastructure, regulatory
requirements, community benefit, available funding, and the potential consequences of
delaying investment.
The CIP is also an important financial planning tool. By identifying anticipated capital
needs over multiple years, the Town can better coordinate project timing, pursue state and
federal grants, strategically use available reserves and dedicated funding sources, and
reduce the likelihood that major infrastructure needs become unexpected financial
emergencies.
For FY 2026–2027 and the years ahead, the Town continues to make significant
investments in stormwater and drainage improvements, roadway infrastructure, water
system modernization, coastal and community resiliency, public facilities, public safety
equipment, and other critical Town assets. Many of these projects represent investments
in infrastructure that must remain dependable for decades.
The CIP should be viewed as a living plan rather than a commitment to spend every dollar
identified in future years. Project costs, schedules, priorities, and funding sources will
continue to be refined as engineering advances, bids are received, grant opportunities
become available, and community needs evolve. Each major expenditure remains subject
to the Town’s established procurement, budgeting, and Commission approval processes.
This fiscal year may bring changes to the Town’s Capital Improvement Plan as discussions
continue regarding the potential transition of the Town’s water infrastructure, assets, and
future service responsibilities to a regional water service authority. Should this transition
occur, the most significant impacts to the CIP are anticipated beginning in Fiscal Year 2028
and beyond.
Detailed ten-year capital improvement plans can be found in the appendices.

The Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget represents more than a plan for revenues and
expenditures. It reflects the Town of Ocean Ridge’s commitment to responsible
stewardship, exceptional public service, thoughtful investment, and long-term planning.
Throughout the development of this budget, decisions were made with both today’s needs
and tomorrow’s responsibilities in mind. One example is the conceptual conversations
that are occurring to potentially transition the Town’s water service infrastructure to a
separate utility authority. Moving in this direction will take time and money for the Town to
complete its due diligence. While the successful creation of a sovereign agency would
most likely result in reimbursement of any transition expenditures, the Town will still need
to invest the money in the beginning of the process. To anticipate these needs, the budget
has appropriated $200,000 in GL# 001-512.102-503.400 Other Contractual Services within
the Town Manager department, and an additional $100,000 in GL# 001-514.104-503.110
Legal Special Counsel within the Legal department. This money was not added to the
budget or taken from reserves; the money is reprioritized funds moved from the CIP where
$300,000 was earmarked for Town Hall Hardening. Should the Commission choose to
move in this direction, the budget is prepared. If the Commission chooses otherwise, the
funds will be reprioritized appropriately as directed. The Town continues to maintain
essential services, invest in public safety, care for its infrastructure and public assets,
advance critical capital improvements, and prepare for the challenges that come with
being a small coastal community.
During FY 2026–2027, Town staff will continue to:






Deliver high-quality municipal services while carefully managing operating costs.
Advance the Town’s multi-year Capital Improvement Plan and infrastructure
priorities.
Protect the Town’s long-term financial position and maintain strong reserves.
Seek grants, partnerships, and other outside funding to leverage local dollars.
Measure departmental performance and strengthen accountability for results.
Maintain transparency by providing the Town Commission and residents with clear
information about the Town’s finances, projects, and progress.
Remain responsive as conditions, costs, legislation, and community needs evolve.

The budget establishes the plan. Execution, accountability, and measurable results will
determine its success.
As we enter Fiscal Year 2026–2027, the Town remains focused on preserving what makes
Ocean Ridge special while making the responsible investments necessary to protect its
future.

SEPTIC TO SEWER CONVERSION – FUNDING ASSUMPTIONS
Total Program Estimate: $60,000,000 | Assumed Grant Funding (30%): $18,000,000 | Town-Funded / Local Share (70%): $42,000,000
Construction Phases 1-6 (2031-2036) assume the $54,000,000 balance remaining after Land Acquisition ($4,000,000 in 2029-2030) and Design & Permitting ($2,000,000 in 2029-2030) is divided evenly across the six construction years ($9,000,000/year). Grant percentage is a planning assumption only; no grant award, application, or commitment has been confirmed at this time.

Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office
June 4th, 2026
Estimates of Impacts Related to 2026 Property Tax Proposal – Ballot Amendment
Assumptions are based on the 2025 Tax Roll
NOTE: This spreadsheet reflects the total of specific individual property taxable values for each taxing authority.
A similar spreadsheet dated June 1st contained data assuming all homesteaded property would be eligible for the full exemption amount, however some taxpayers do not have a taxable value
that rises to the $150,000 or $250,000 level. This sheet reflects that additional datapoint.
Exemption values also include secondary exemptions such as widows, disability, low income seniors and others. Another variable, millage rates
remain constant year over year for this estimate.
This sheet contemplates that the same owner would own the homesteaded property for all years represented. When a homesteader sells their home, that property value may rise above the
$150,000 or $250,000 level and thus adjust the exempt amount up for the new buyer or remove the exemption entirely – we cannot predict how frequently this will happen, so it is not reflected here.
