Introduction
The South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board (the "Board") was
established by an interlocal agreement as a joint venture between the Cities of Boynton
Beach, Florida and Delray Beach, Florida (the "Cities") on December 26, 1974. The Board
was established as an Independent Special District pursuant to Section 163.01 of the Florida
Statutes and the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969. The agreement created a legal
entity which provides wastewater treatment and disposal services to the South Central
region of Palm Beach County without regard to political or governmental boundaries. The
Board is governed by a body composed of the Commission members from each City. The
Board has the authority to accept and disburse funds, transact business, and enter into
contracts for budgeted items. In addition, the Board has the authority, subject to approval
by a majority vote of each City Commission before becoming effective, to adopt an annual
budget, establish rates and charges for operations, maintenance, expansions and
construction, enter into contracts, and authorize the return of any excess funds or levy
additional charges for deficits of the Board to the respective cities.
This budget outlines the financial plan for the Board. The primary purpose of this budget is
to establish an effective framework for income and spending. It covers the period from
October 1 2025, to September 30, 2026, and encompasses all key areas of expenditure,
including personnel, operating costs, capital outlay, and debt service. We are projecting
revenues of $12,104,534 and total expenditures of $12,977,998. To balance the budget, we
have applied prior year excess funds in the amount of $458,721 as well as $414,742 of
unassigned reserved fund balance.
This budget reflects our commitment to processing the cities' wastewater in an efficient
and environmentally sensitive manner. The following sections provide a more detailed
breakdown of each budget category and the rationale behind our spending decisions.
i
Brief Exolanation of Funds
General Fund (001 Wastewater)
General Fund 001 is the primary operating fund of the Board. It is used to account for all
financial resources, including Debt Service. Revenue is derived primarily from charges billed
to each City (Boynton Beach and Delray Beach), based on each City's flow for the month. At
the end of the fiscal year any excess or deficiency of program revenue over operational
expenses is calculated. The excess or deficiency is shared proportionately based on each
City's flow. The approved rate per thousand gallons is $1.14.
General Fund (002 Reclaimed Water)
General Fund 002 is the secondary operating fund of the Board. It is used to account for a
portion of financial resources, mainly made up of 25% of base salaries. Like General Fund
001, revenue is derived from charges billed to each City based on flows for the month.
Additionally, the Wastewater Fund provides revenue on a monthly basis in the form of an
operating transfer based on flows for irrigation and injection well #1. The approved rate per
thousand gallons is $0.24.
Unassigned Reserves: $ 2,350,653
Repair & Replacement Fund (101)
This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition, construction,
or repair of major infrastructure. Revenue is derived from charges billed to each City based
on each City's flow for the month. The approved rate per thousand gallons is $0.07.
Restricted Reserves: $1,144,948
Capital Projects Fund (301)
This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
of assets for specific projects. The cost is shared evenly, 50/50, by each city as per the
Interlocal Agreement.
Restricted Reserves: $1,389,324
Total Reserves as of 09/30/24: $4,884,926
