REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Bangor as of and for the
yeaz ended June 30, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated October 12, 1999. We
conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.
Comnliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Bangor's financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws,regulations, contracts and grants,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 that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting in order to deternune our auditing procedures for the purpose of e�cpressing our opinion on
the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting.
However, we noted a matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation
that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our
attenUon relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over
financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the City of Bangor's ability to
record,process, summarize and report financial data.consistent with the assertions of management
in the financial statements. A reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of
Findings and Questioned Costs as item#1998- 1.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal
control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts
that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. Our consideration ofthe internal control over financial reporting would not

accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be

to the management of the City in a separate letter dated October 12, 1999.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH
MAJOR PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of Bangor with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget(OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance
Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30,
1999. The City of Bangor's major federal programs are identified in the surnmary of auditor's
results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the
requirements of laws;regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal
programs is the responsibility of the City of Bangor's management. Our responsibility is to e�ress
an opinion on the City of Bangor's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133,Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non-profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material
effect on a major federal program occuned. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
about the City of Bangor's compliance with those requirements and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City of
Bangor's compliance with those retluirements.
In our opinion the City of Bangor complied,in all material respects,with the requirements refened
to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30,
1999.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Bangor is responsible for establishing and rnaintauung effective
internal control over compliance with requirements of laws,regulations, contracts and gtants
applicable to federal programs. In planning and perfornung our audit,we considered the City's
internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing

ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133, CONTINUED
our opinion on compliance and to test and report on intemal control over compliance in accordance
with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters
in internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which
the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major federal program being audited
may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
perfornung their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over
compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
Schedule of Exnenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Bangor as of and for the
year ended June 30, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated October 12, 1999. Our audit

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of
additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part of the financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, School Board,management and
federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs, Continued
Section II-Findings Required to be Reported Under Government Auditing Standards
#1998-1 - Sewer System Controls
Controls at the sewer utility are potentially weakened because of the utility's relationship with the Bangor Water
District,which is a separate,non-City entity. The problem arises because the water and sewer utilities share many
aspects of billing and collection. Specifically, sewer bills are based upon water usage data, as provided by the
water districts;water and sewer bills are mailed together; sewer payments may be made at, among other places,the
water district;and the water district's billing and payment software, which is incompatible with the City's general
accounting software,is also employed by the sewer utility.
As a result, a number of problems arise. First,where payments are made at the water district, City funds remain
outside the City control for the period of time between their receipt from customers and the forwarding of payment
to the City. This, combined with the increased handling of the City assets introduces the potential for diversion of
City properry by non-City employees. Second,the flow of funds between the two utilities and their timing often
results in the"float"of relatively lazge amounts due the City. Third,the incompatibility of systems between the
sewer utility and the rest of City government makes timely tracking of sewer utility performance difficult. Further,
it makes reconcilement increasingly important and time consuming.
We recommend the City review its relationship with the water utility to conect these cash handling and accounting
deficiencies.
