Deborah A. Cyr, Finance Director
December 21, 2007
To the Honorable Chairman,
Members of the Bangor City Council, and
Citizens of Bangor
In accordance with the requirements of both our City Charter and state statutes,
the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of Bangor for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007 is hereby submitted. Responsibility for both the
accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City of Bangor. To the best of our
� knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and
is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial position and results of
operations of the City of Bangor on a government wide and fund basis.
The City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
framework designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from
loss, theft, and misuse, and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled
to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The internal control structure is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the
costs of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the
valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
management.
The Citys financial statements have been audited by Runyon, Kersteen,
Ouellette. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance
that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor's
unqualified opinion is presented as the first component of the financial section of
. this report.
73 Harlow Street • Bangor, Maine 04401
I - 1
�
�
,The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the
provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management
and Budget's Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government and Non-Profit �- :
Organizations. Information related to this single audit, including a schedule of
expenditures of federal awards, findings, questioned costs, recommendations, �
and the independent auditor's reports on the internal control structure and
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, are included in a separately �
issued single audit report.
GASB requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and
- analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD8cA). This letter of transmittal is ' '
designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
City's MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor's
report. �
Profile of the Government �
The City of Bangor is situated in eastern Maine, is the Penobscot County seat,
and is the third most populous of Maine's 22 cities. The City occupies
approximately 35 square miles on the western shore of the Penobscot River. '
Bangor was first settled in 1656, incorporated as a town on February 25, 1791
. and as a city on February 12, 1834. Bangor has become a major trade, �
distribution, service, and commercial center for the central, eastern, and
northern portions of the State.
,
The City operates under a Charter adopted in 1931 that provides for a Council-
Manager form of government. The City Council is composed of nine members
who are elected at large for three-year staggered terms. The Charter grants to '
the Council all powers to enact, amend, or repeal rules, ordinances, and
resolutions relating to the City's property, affairs, and government; to preserve ,
the public peace, health, and safety; to establish personnel policies; to give
effect to any vote of the City; and to authorize the issuance of debt. The Council
adopts an annual budget and provides for an annual audit. The City Manager is l
the chief administrative officer of the City and is appointed by the Council, as are
the Assessor, Solicitor, and Clerk. The current City Manager has been in his -
position since 1988. � �
The City's schools are governed by a seven-member School Committee. Its ,.
members are elected at large to staggered three-year terms. By Charter, the
School Committee has all the powers and performs all the duties related to the
care and management of the public schools of the City. The Committee annually - .
furnishes to the City Council an estimate of sums required for school purposes '
for the ensuing municipal year. The City Council makes a single gross

appropriation for this purpose with the expenditure of this appropriation under
the direction and control of the School Committee. The School Committee
� � employs the Superintendent of Schools as its chief operating officer. The current
! � Superintendent has been in his position since July 2000.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including police and fire,
highways and sanitation, health and welfare, parks and recreation, education,
public transportation, planning, business and economic development, code
" enforcement, and general administrative services. Bangor International Airport,
� sanitary sewer services, the Bass Park Complex, parking, golf course, economic
� development, and a transitional housing complex are accounted for in the City's
Enterprise Funds. .
The City's budgeting process is structured around its fiscal year, which begins on
� July ist and ends on the following June 30th. The City annually adopts budgets
for its general fund and seven enterprise funds. The City Charter requires that
� the City Manager submit a recommended budget to the Council by the second
Monday in April. The budget, which must be in balance, contains estimates of all
non-tax revenues and receipts expected to be received during the ne� fiscal
� year, the expenditures necessary to support City operations, debt service
requirements, and the tax levy required to achieve balance between revenues
, and expenditures. The Council may modify recommended expenditures and the
recommended tax levy. If the Council fails to adopt a budget by July ist, the
� Ciry Manager's proposed budget automatically becomes that fiscal year's budget.
� In either case, an appropriate properry tax levy is established and filed with the
City Assessor who then sets the necessary property tax rate.
- The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and
' control and is prepared by fund, function, and department. The City Manager
may transfer resources within a department; however, transfers - between
� departments require Council action.
Special Revenue Funds do not have legally adopted budgets but have program
� budgets. Budgetary controls are maintained on other governmental funds
through formal authorizations by the City Council and through grant agreements.
All budgets are legally adopted by the City Council through the passage of an
appropriation resolve.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
Local economy. The City is the economic, educational, recreational,
, distribution, and health care center for the central, eastern, and northern Maine
' regions. Bangor also serves as northern New England's economic link to the
Canadian Maritimes and Eastern Quebec. The City is a major center for the
I - 3
communication, banking, commercial, industrial, healthcare, and governmental
sectors of the State.
Bangor has a stable and varied economic base. Major employers include a �
diversified mix of health care, educational, professional, retail, manufacturing,
and governmental entities. Bangor's 2006 unemployment rate of 4.4% �
continues to be below both country and state rates of 4.9%, 4.6%, respectively.
Bangor is the second largest retail market in Maine after Portland. The Bangor
Mall, Airport Mall, Broadway commercial center, Union Street commercial
:,
corridor, and the Bangor Center Development District (downtown) have long
established Bangor as the regional hub of the eight-county eastern Maine retail
market. Bangor's retail sector serves an extensive geographic area ranging from �
eastern Maine to the Canadian Maritimes with a population exceeding 3.1 million.
With less than three percent of the State's population, Bangor's share of the �
State's retail sales has remained in excess of 9% since 1999. Over the same
period, Bangor's share of County sales has grown significantly to approximately
71%. '
Further evidence of continuing sustained growth is the change in the City's �
assessed value of real and personal property, which averaged 2.47% from 1991 ,
to 2000 and 6.07% per year over the last 6 years. Tax base growth, the City's
focus on controlling budgetary growth, and ramped up state funding for '
education has resulted in a 16.9% reduction in the City's tax rate from 1998 to ,
2007.
;
The City is committed to preserving its viable economic base while creating new
opportunities for future econornic growth. To achieve these objectives, the City
is proactive in supporting economic activity through planned capital �
improvements, innovative financing, and aggressive marketing.
Long-term financial planning and major initiatives. Unreserved,
undesignated fund balance in the general fund as of June 30, 2007 was 10.63%
of expenditures, net of debt service. By Charter, the City is required to maintain - -
a balance between 5% and 10%, and the Council has determined that a
reasonable target is 7.5%.
The City prepares a five-year capital plan that is updated at least biannually as ' _
part of the overall budget process. The plan identifies all anticipated capital
investments as well as potential funding sources. ,
Progress continues in the redevelopment of almost a mile of prime Penobscot
River frontage extending from the City's downtown area to the Bass Park �
Complex. A majority of the required infrastructure has been installed, for which
. the City has been successful in obtaining partial funding from both State and
I - 4
Federal agencies. Current plans call for some $180 million in development
including: a headquarters hotel and high-technology conference center, new
� � class A office space, restaurant and retail space, residential apartments and
condominiums, and other private sector projects.
The City has entered into a development agreement with Bangor Historic Track,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, to redevelop Bangor
Raceway and a portion of the surrounding Bass Park property. Penn National
Gaming opened a temporary gaming facility containing 475 slot machines in
November 2005 and anticipates opening its permanent facility, including a hotel,
in the summer of 2008. Under this agreement, the City receives a percentage of
gross slot revenue as well as land lease payments and property taxes on new
development. In October 2005, the City established a special revenue fund to
account for all such payments. In addition, the Council Order establishing this
fund specifies that its primary use will be to construct a new arena in Bangor to
replace the Bangor Auditorium which opened in Bass Park in 1954.
Over the years, the City has invested significant resources and effort in
improving our local environment and protecting our natural resources. In recent
years, the City has performed environmental remediation work on the
waterfront, a former gas works site, and a former laundry/dry cleaning
establishment, and has undertaken significant sewer system improvements and a
� project to direct all de-icing fluid used at Bangor International Airport directly to
� the treatment plant. In the coming year, the City will complete its fifteen year
_. commitment to addressing its combined sewer overflows. Expanded attention "
will be given to storm water management and its efFects on various water bodies
� within our corporate limits.
' In conjunction with surrounding communities and various interested parties, the
City will be participating in a regional open space plan. The plan will use
"greenprinting" and geographical information systems to identify appropriate
areas within our region for public and private open space.
In addition, the City continues to work with all interested parties to implement
. the comprehensive approach adopted to address land use issues related to the
�
Penjajawoc Marsh area adjacent to the Bangor Mall.
In order to achieve significant long term energy savings as well as to provide
, environmental, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality improvements, the City
has undertaken an energy audit of all its facilities. The results from this effort
are expected in the coming year. The City will then undertake capital
, improvements recommended by the audit in order to reduce energy use and
related costs. It is anticipated that the savings realized by the improvements will
be applied toward the annual payments required to finance these improvements.
�
I - 5
}
In addition to improving its current facilities, the City has adopted a policy that
will require all new construction and major renoyations to City owned or funded �
buildings to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ;
certification. -
Awards and Acknowledgements. The Government Finance Officers �
Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Bangor for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
This was the tenth consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious -
award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual ,
financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements. ,
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe
that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the �
Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements, and we are submitting it to
the GFOA for consideration for another certificate.
The preparation of this document would not have been possible without the hard �
work of all of the City's employees. Each one contributes on a daily basis, simply ,
by carrying out the responsibilities of their positions. �
Our sincerest thanks are once again extended to our Citizens and the Bangor �
City Council for their continued support for our efforts to further develop the
City's financial management and reporting capabilities. We hope that we have
once again met their expectations. ; �
Respectfully submitted

City of Bangor,Maine
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities,business-type
' activities,each major fund,and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bangor;Maine as
of and for the year ended June 30,2007,which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements.
as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Bangor,
Maine's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on '
our audit. '
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 Comptroiler General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of.material
misstatement. A.n audit includes examining,on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
, --, disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used .
and significant estimates made by management,as well as evaluating the overal]fnancial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion,the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the
' respective financial position of the govemmental activities,business-type activities,each major fund, and
_ the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bangor,Maine,as of June 30,2007,and
° respective changes in financial position and cash flows,where applicable,thereof and the budgetar}j
'_ comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accoidance with Governnzent Auditing Stmzdards,we have also issued our report dated December 21,
2007,on our consideration of the City of Bangor,Maine's internal control over financial reporting and
- l� our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts and grant agreements
� and other matters. The purpose of that report is 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
internal conhol over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral�part of an audit .
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Staizdards and should be considered in assessing the
- results of our audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis,as listed in the table of contents, is not a required part of the
� basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
' principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of ineasurement and presentation of the
' reyuired supplementary information. However,we did not audit the information and express no opinion on
it.

comprise the City of Bangor,Maine's basic financial statements. The introductory section,combining

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management of the City of Bangor offers this narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of the City of Bangor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. In
addition to comparative information from the government-wide statements, comparative
, data is presented on key information from the fund financial statements. We encourage

information that is furnished in our letter of transmittal, whic� can be found on pages I-
' 1 to I-6 of this report.
Financial Highlights
• The assets of the City of Bangor exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most
recent fiscal year by $203.5 million (net assets).
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Bangor's governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances were relatively unchanged from the prior
year at $20.6 million. Approximately 79% of the total amount, or $16.2 million, is
available for spending at the City's discretion (unreserved fund balance).
• The City of Bangor has a fund balance policy. The City strives to maintain a general
, fund unreserved/undesignated fund balance of 5% to 10% of current expenditures
less debt service. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved undesignated
fund balance for the general fund was $8.3 million, or 10.63% of the general fund
expenditure base. The annual calculation is included within the financial statements
, as Schedule F-2.
• The total liabilities of the City's governmental and enterprise funds decreased by
' $700 thousand (5.4%) and $800 thousand (1.5%), respectively. The change in
governmental fund liabilities is due to a decrease in accounts payable within the
City's Capital Project Fund. These payables can vary drastically from year to year
depending upon the projects being undertaken. The decrease in enterprise fund
liabilities is due to principal repayments exceeding new debt issued by $1.9 million,
an increase of $600 thousand in accounts payable due to the timing of invoices
' received in the prior year, an increase in interfund borrowings related to cash flow in �
the amount of $200 thousand and a $200 thousand increase in compensated
absences. �
Overview of the Financial Statements
� This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of
Bangor's basic financial statements. These statements consist of three components:
government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and 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 present the financial picture of the City from the point of view of economic
resources measurement and using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to
� II - 2
that used by private-sector companies. These statements present governmental '.
activities and business type activities separately.
The statement of net assets includes all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in
net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets 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 (e.g. uncollected
taxes and earned but unused employee vacation leaves).
These statements are divided into two categories: governmental activities and business-
type activities.
• Governmental activities — Most of the City's basic services are included here, such as
the general government, public safety, public works, health and welfare, education,
and parks and recreation. These activities are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues. '
• Business-type activities = Currently, the City operates the following business-type
activities: Bangor International Airport, Sewer Utility, the Bass Park Complex,
Parking, Golf Course, Economic Development, and the Park Woods Complex. -
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages II-15 to II-16 of this �
report. '
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 City of Bangor, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary 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 are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual '
accounting that measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be
converted to cash. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental
fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate a comparison between governmental funds and �
governmental activities.
• The City of Bangor maintains ten individual governmental funds. Information is
presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances for the general fund, community development block grant, racino fund, and
II - 3
capital projects fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other six governmental funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in
the form of combining statements (Schedule B) elsewhere in this report.
The City of Bangor,adopts an annual budget for its general fund. A budgetary
comparison �statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate
compliance with this budget (Schedule A-2).
- • Proprietary funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
,business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Enterprise
funds are the only type of proprietary funds maintained by the City. The proprietary
fund statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide
� statements, only in more detail.
The City maintains seven individual proprietary funds, all of which are considered to
I be major.
, The City of Bangor adopts annual budgets for all of its proprietary funds. Budgetary
comparison statements have been provided for each proprietary fund to
demonstrate compliance with budget (Schedule C1 — C7).
• Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the City. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the
City's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used
for proprietary funds. Its' statement of r�et assets is included in this report as Exhibit
10.
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. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages II-27
through II-50 of this report. ,

By far the largest portion of the City's net assets (99% or $203.2 million) reflects its
investment in capital assets (i.e. land, buildings, machinery and equipment) less any
related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital
assets to provide services to citizens. Consequently, these assets are not available for
future spending. Although the City's investment in its 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
satisfy these liabilities. Restricted net assets are those resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. While the remaining balance of
unrestricted net assets is approximately a $600 thousand deficit, the governmental
activity portion shows a deficit of $17.9 million. This is primarily due to $27.3 million in
outstanding pension obligation bonds. With the exception of total unrestricted net
assets, the City is able to report positive balances in the remaining two categories of net
assets for the government as a whole. Business-type activities net assets continue to
remain positive in all categories.
Governmental-type net assets increased by $3.2 million and business-type net assets ,
increased by $1.0 million during the year. Within the governmental-type funds, the
increases are related to actual revenues outpacing estimates, specifically in the area of
property and excise taxes, state revenue sharing, interest earnings, and racino fund
revenues. The business-type net asset increase was due to an increase on investment
returns coupled with increased capital grants and contributions.

Governmental Activities
The cost of all governmental activities was $98.8 million. As shown on the Statement of
Activities, the total amount financed by the Ciry's property taxpayers was $41.7 million,
or 40.5%. Those who directly benefit from an activity provided $16.5 million in
payments. Other governments and organizations subsidized certain activities with
operating grants and contributions in the amount of $30.5 million. Capital grants and
contributions accounted for $2.6 million. The City also received $11.5 million in other
general revenues such as State Revenue Sharing, motor vehicle and boat excise taxes,
homestead exemptions, and interest earnings. .

Total governmental activities expenses increased $1 million over the prior year. No
additional programs were sponsored by the City in the current year, nor were any
eliminated. Increased costs are directly related to personnel and utilities. These
increased costs were offset by reductions in program expenses associated with the
Community Development Block Grant as well as a reduction in spending on the
waterfront, which was based on available grant funding. Governmental functions
experienced a 2% employee cost of living wage adjustment, which is the primary factor
in the increase. There were minimal to no increases in historically volatile expense
areas such as health insurance premiums and utility costs (fuel oil, vehicle fuel, �
electricity). �

. Total governmental activities revenues increased 2.5%. The largest single source of
revenue continues to be the property tax, which remained stable at approximately 40%
of total revenues for both 2006 and 2007. Revenue resulting from services provided
increases in two specific areas, interest earnings and a full year of racino operation. The
largest area of revenue growth is within the properly and other taxes category. Tax
� revenues increased nearly $1 million in 2007 due to new value, as defined by LD 1,
which translates into $49.7 million of new development/improvements within the City
during the prior fiscal year.
Business-type Activities
Total expenses of business-type activities increased 9.2%, or $2.5 million, over the prior
year. Within the Sewer Fund, there were a significant number of equipment upgrades
that were expensed in the amount of $450,000. The Airport continues to see increased
, numbers of international flights requiring services. Most of these flights are directly
related to military troop movements. The additional costs associated with servicing this
market are recovered through additional revenue from charges for�service. In addition,
all business-type activity employees also received a 2% cost of living wage adjustment.

Earnings
Total business-type activities revenue increased by $5.2 million. This increase is
partially attributable to an increase in capital grants and in investment earnings and
their market value. The source of funding for Airport capital projects is cyclical in nature.
In one year, the majoriry may be provided by grants while the following year's may be
primarily supported through local sources such as passenger faciliry charges collected by
the Airport. The remaining increase was generated through charges for services.
During the year, the Sewer Fund increased user rates by 5%, the first rate increase in
ten years. In addition, the Airport continues to experience increased revenues from
increased international flights, specifically those tied to military troop movements to and
from the Middle East.
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds reporting is to
provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable
resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Ciry's financing requirements. In
particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At fiscal year end, the City of Bangor's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $20.5 million, which is virtually unchanged from the prior year balance
of $20.3 million. Approximately 79% of this total ($16.2 million) constitutes unreserved
fund balance that is available for spending at the City's discretion. The remainder is
reserved, indicating that it is not available for new spending because it has already been
committed for various purposes including liquidating prior period contracts and purchase
orders ($2.2 million), reserving for potential non-repayment of interfund balances ($1.4
million), or set aside for a variety of other restricted purposes ($700 thousand).
II - 9
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City and is comprised of two major
functions, education and municipal services. At the end of the fiscal year, the total
unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $11.4 miPlion ($3.2 million of which
has been designated by management for subsequent years' expenditures). The general
fund's total fund balance was $13.8 million, an increase from the prior year's balance of
� $13.0 million. The entire increase occurred within the municipal services undesignated
fund balance. The reasons for the increase were relatively low increases in operating
expenditures coupled with increased revenue collections in� the area of taxes, State
Revenue sharing, and increased interest earnings. Over the last few years, the City has
consistently exceeded its 7.5% undesignated fund balance target. In order to bring our
undesignated fund balance into line with the Council's established policy, the City
appropriated $550 thousand from this balance during fiscal year 2008 to fund further
environmental assessment of the Penobscot River and associated legal costs.
Proprietary funds. Information on the City of Bangor's proprietary funds is similar to
that found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The unrestricted net assets of the seven enterprise funds increased $1.0 million to a
total of $172.1 million, including net asset deficits of $1.5 miVlion in the Bass Park Fund
and $200 thousand in the Parking Fund.
With the exception of the Economic Development Fund, the net assets of all other
enterprise funds were relatively unchanged. During 2007, the Economic Development
Fund sold significantly more assets than normal. This fund accounts for vacant land and
other property acquired by the City to support our efforts to attract new and expand
existing businesses within our community.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Differences between the originally adopted budget and the final amended budget were
minimal. The City's commitment to budgetary integrity continues, with actual revenues
exceeding budgeted amounts by 1.8% or $1.5 million while municipal expenditures were
under budget by 3.7% or $3.2 million. The majority of under expenditures, at $2.9
million, occurred in education. By statute, education balances must be segregated from
municipal balances.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. As of June 30, 2007, the City of Bangor's investment in capital assets
for its governmental and business-type activities amounted to $265.5 million (net of
accumulated depreciation), an increase of $1.3 million over the prior year. This
investment includes land, buildings, machinery and equipment, roads, runways, and
sewer lines. The total increase in the City's investment in capital assets for the current
fiscal year was minimal in total but varied vastly by activity. Governmental activities
investment in capital assets increased 3.1% based largely on the final financing of the
new Police Station, while business-type activities net capital assets decreased by
$900,000, as depreciation expenses of$9.6 million outpaced capital investments.
II - 10
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following;
• Investing more than $1.0 million in partially state funded street and highway
improvements �
• Additional costs to construct a new police station in the amount of$3.4 million
• investments in emergency response technologies, vehicles, and equipment in the -
amount of$1.1
• Continuing the City's aggressive combined sewer overflow control program in the
amount of$2.0 million
� Investing $3.0 million in operational assets at Bangor International Airport, including
the upgrading and improving access points, remote custom clearance areas, and
cargo hold aprons, as well as acquisition of an upgraded security system. ,

Debt Administration �
At fiscal year end, the City had a total outstanding bonded debt of $104.1 million, a
decrease of $2.7 million during the year. This decrease includes a one time early
repayment of $1.2 million made through issuing new debt in June 2006 in order to call
outstanding 1995 and 1996 bonds with payments scheduled for September 2006.

The City's general obligation debt maintained a "AA-" rating from Standard & Poor's and
a "Aa3" rating from Moody's.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may
issue to 15% of its total State assessed valuation. The current debt limit for the City is
$332.1 million, an amount which is significantly in excess of existing general obligation
debt.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note I on pages II-
39 to II-42 of this report.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget and Rates
• The unemployment rate for the City of Bangor for calendar year 2006 was 4.4% and
continued to compare favorably to the State's rate of 4.6%. �
• While Bangor represents less than 3% of the state's population, the City's share of
retail sales remains in excess of 9% of total statewide sales and 71% of Penobscot
County sales.
• The increase in residential construction that began in 2002 has continued, albeit at a
slower pace, and still without a need for the City to significantly improve
infrastructure to accommodate this growth.
• Bangor has experienced a slowing in the rate of appreciation of existing homes
during this calendar year. We project that existing home values will appreciate in
the 5% to 7% range in the coming year compared to the 10% to 15% range in
recent years.
Bangor remains the only municipaliry in Maine that has met the requirements of state
law that allow for the operation of slot machines at commercial harness racing tracks.
In November 2005, Penn National Gaming opened a "racino" at an interim location in
the City. Construction of the permanent gaming facility began in the spring of 2007,
and it is projected to open in the summer of 2008. This facility will include a 1,500 car
parking garage, a 152 room seven story hotel, and approximately 110,000 square feet
for gaming. The project is estimated to cost $131 million.
The Council has adopted a policy directing all rents and state taxes received from the
operation of the slot facility to a separate special revenue fund, the Racino Fund. The
primary purpose of this fund is to provide the necessary resources to construct a new
arena to replace the Bangor Auditorium which opened in Bass Park in 1954.
- II - 12
Beginning with fiscal year 2006, the City became subject to a state statutory system
(known as LD 1) that is designed to limit the increase in that portion of the tax levy that
supports municipal functions. Generally, the growth of the tax levy is limited to an
increase equal to the ten year average percentage change in real statewide personal
incomes plus taxes from property value resulting from new construction, major
renovations to existing properties, or the subdivision of property. In addition, any "net
new state funding," defined as the percentage increase in certain state support
programs to municipalities that are in excess of the LD 1 limit, must be deducted from
the allowable tax levy increase. LD 1 also increased the State's share of local education
costs through the "Essential Programs and Services" model, a mechanism designed to
allocate state funding to local school units and to control local school expenditures.
The implementation of LD 1 complemented a number of the City's long-standing
objectives including controlling the rate of increase in properry taxes and achieving
proportionately greater State funding for the Bangor School Department.
For Fiscal Year 2007 and as required by LD 1, the City Council voted to increase the
City's property tax levy limit to recognize a "net new state funding" increase in Local
Road Assistance. The City earmarks these state provided funds for its annual road
paving capital program and not for day to day operations. Prior to July 1, 2006, the
State legislature amended LD 1 to eliminate local road assistance from the "net new
state funding" limitation; however, that amendment did not become effective until after
July 1, the date by which the City must adopt a budget for the year. The Council's vote
to increase the tax levy limit insured that the City complied, both technically and in
spirit, with the requirements of LD 1. For Fiscal Year 2008, the City was within the
' statutory tax levy limit as established by LD 1.
LD 1 also implemented the Essential Programs and Services Model for educational
funding. This model sets forth a comprehensive methodology for computing the cost of
providing essential educational programs to Maine's children. It also establishes a
schedule designed to increase the State's share of total Essential Programs and Services
costs to 55% over a four year period. Due to this change, the City received
approximately $2 million more in State School Aid for the fiscal year ending ]une 30,
2007. While the State's model recognizes what it considers to be essential programs
and their appropriate funding level, the Bangor School Department has identified a
number of programs that are either under-funded or not funded by this model. As a
result, both the School Committee and the City Council voted to increase the educational
spending limits imposed by LD 1 in order to appropriately fund such services and
programs for both Fiscal Year 2007 and 2008.
In June 2007 as part of the overall state budget, the legislature passed what is referred
to as '�School Administrative Reorganization" (SAR), legislation. The legislative intent is
to ensure that schools are organized in units of sufficient size to provide equitable
educational opportunities, rigorous academic programs, uniformity in delivering
programs, greater equity in tax rates, more efficient and effective use of limited
resources, preservation of school choice, and maximized opportunity to deliver
educational services in an efficient manner.
II - 13
The act requires that all school districts submit a Notice of Intent to the Department of
Education that identifies the district's plan to either engage in planning/negotiating with
other districts to create a regional school unit or �o submit an alternative plan to achieve
efficiencies. The Bangor School Department has filed an alternative plan that seeks to
maintain the system's current status as a municipal'department under the arrangements
set forth in the Charter of the City of Bangor. As such, it would not be combined with
any other districts into a larger educational entity. As of this writing, the Department of
Education has not rendered a final decision on this alternative plan. Further,
amendments to the School Reorganization legislation are expected to be presented to
the Legislature in January of 2008. Given these circumstances, the impact of this effort
on the School Department and the City of Bangor remains unknown at this time.
Management continues to track other areas of revenue and expenditure concern. On
the revenue side, we are focusing on the flat yield curve we are experiencing on City
investments, the ability of the automobile excise tax to keep pace with recent 4.5%
average annual increases, and uncertainty regarding State provided revenues due to
projected State budget shortfalls. As to expenses, health insurance costs have proven
volatile. While the City achieved a rate hold for fiscal year 2007, we were faced with a
49.09%, or $725,000, increase for fiscal year 2008 based upon actual benefit utilization
by our employee group. Given the gap between available resources and this increase in
health costs, the City took the unprecedented action of using $295,000 in one-time
revenues to bridge this gap, with the understanding that costs would have to be
reduced going forward. Over the five month period beginning in July 2007, the City
initiated a collaborative effort including all union and non-union employee groups,
management, and retirees, to address health insurance costs. This resulted in a
recommendation to change health insurance providers effective January 1, 2008, a
recommendation subsequently approved by all twenty-one stakeholder groups (10 non-
union, 10 union, and 1 retiree group) and the City Council. By changing carriers, the
City and those covered_by the program will share in first-year savings of approximately
$650,000. This reduced premium should eliminate the need to use one-time revenues
to cover costs in the City's Fiscal Year 2009 budget. In response to escalating energy
costs, the City is in the midst of a comprehensive four-part energy audit. The results of
the first part, which includes the majority of the City's General Fund buildings, were
presented in December 2007 and recommends that the City undertake $1.2 million in
improvements that will generate over $150,000 in annual savings, an amount suffici�ent
to cover annual financing costs. Implementation of these improvements will reduce
energy'consumption in these facilities by 14% annually.
User fees for governmental and business-type activities are reviewed on an annual basis
to ensure that fee structures are su.fficient to cover service costs. Many fees are
adjusted annually for inflation. A 5% increase in sewer fees will be implemented
effective January 1, 2008, only the second sewer fee increase since March 1996.

Exhibit 5
CITY OF BANGOR,MAINE
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues,Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2007
Net change in fund balances-tota]governmental funds(from E�chibit 4) $ 239,100
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of
activities(Exhibit 2)are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.
However,in the statement of activities,the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is
the amount by which capital outlays of$5,335,997 exceeded depreciation
expense of$3,012,242 and disposals of$90,301 in the current period. 2,233,454
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental
funds,but issuing debt increases long-term]iabilities in the statement
of net assets. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the
governmental funds,but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities
in the statement of net assets. This is the amount by which repayments
of$4,237,099 exceeded proceeds of$3,555,000. 682,099
Some items reported in the statement of activities do not require
the use of current financial resources and,therefore,are not reported
as in governmental fund statements. The differences are as follows:
increase in compensated absences($14,633),deferred taxes($107,277),
decrease in accrued interest$15,303 and self insurance liability$178,648. 72,041
Change in net assets of governmental activities(see Exhibit 2) $ 3,226,694

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements
�une 30, 2007
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Bangor was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine in 1834 and operates under a
council/manager form of government. In evaluating how to define the reporting entity, for financial
reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The criteria used to
determine which entities, agencies, commissions, boards and authorities are part of the City's
operations include how the budget is adopted, whether debt is secured by general obligation of the
City, the City's duty to cover any deficits that may occur, and supervision over the accounting functions.
Based upon all pertinent facts derived from the analysis of the above criteria, it was determined that no
additional entities should be included as part of these financial statements.
The City of Bangor is a member of the Joint Venture of the Equity Charter Municipalities of Municipal
Review Committee, Inc (Joint Venture). The Joint Venture is an organization that resulted from a
contractual arrangement between certain member municipalities, Penobscot Energy Recovery Company
(PERC) and Bangor Hydro Electric Company. It was formed to pool resources of the Equity Charter
Municipalities for the long-term goal of handling the disposal of their present and projected volumes of
non-hazardous municipal solid waste. As of December 31, 2006 (most recent data available) the City
of Bangor's share of the Joint Venture's net assets was $5,832,211. Compete financial statements may
be obtained from Municipal Review Gommittee, 40 Harlow Street, Bangor, ME 04401.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the
efFect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. The City has elected not to allocate indirect costs among the programs,
functions and segments. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restr'icted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns
in the fund financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of
the timing of related cash flows. Properry taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Grants and similar items are 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 generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when the payment is due.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, interest; and charges for services. Other
receipts and taxes become measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are recognized
as revenue at that time.
Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to
accrual criteria are met. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying
expenditures have been incurred and all other grant requirements have been met.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Community Development Block Grant Fund accounts for federal grants obtained and expended
under the Housing and Communiry Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the development of
viable urban communities.
The Racino Fund accounts for the percentage of slot revenues received by the City from the
operation of the Racino. Said funds will be used to replace the Bangor Auditorium.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for the acquisition of capital assets or construction of major
capital projects not being financed by proprietary or fiduciary funds.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds: �
The Sewer Utility fund accounts for the costs of construction and operation of the sewage
, treatment plant, the City sewer system, and sewer operation activities, and is self-supported
through sewer user fees.
II -28
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
The Airport Fund accounts for the operation of Bangor International Airport. The principal
sources of revenues are landing fees and the sale of aviation fuel. Other revenue sources include
lease payments for the use of terminal space and non-aviation industrial buildings.
The Park Woods Fund accounts for the rental of 60 units of surplus housing received from the
federal government pursuant to the McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. The principal source of
revenue is rental income.
The Parking Fund accounts for the operation of the City-owned parking lots and the Pickering
Square garage. Revenue sources include monthly lease payments for parking spaces, hourly/daily
parking fees and fines and waiver fees for parking violations. Certain of these facilities are
operated under a private management contract.
The Bass Park Fund accounts for the operation of the Bangor auditorium, Bangor Ciyic Center, and
Bangor State Fair. Principal sources of revenue are admissions, concession sales and rentals. The �
facility is named after the Bass family, which bequeathed the property to the City for recreational
purposes.
The Municipal Golf Course Fund accounts for the operation of a 27 hole municipal golf course.
Principal revenue sources are season memberships and daily greens fees.
The Economic Development Fund accounts for the operation and development of properties
acquired by the City. Its purpose is to promote economic growth within the City. The principal
source of revenue is rental income. '
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type: �
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf ,
of others. The City's fiduciary funds include the following fund type:
Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not present results of operations or have a
measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
The funds are used to account for assets that the City holds for others in an agency capacity.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the
extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance
for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to the same limitation. The City has
elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's public services function and
various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. . ,
II-29
CIIY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and ,contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations: The principal operating revenues of the
City's proprietary fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses include the
cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
, _ restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
Cash includes amounts in demand deposits as well as short-term investments with a maturity 'date
within three months of the date acquired by the City.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U. S. Treasury, commercial paper,
corporate bonds and repurchase agreements. Ciry policy prohibits the investment in so-called
'�derivative instruments".
Investments are reported at fair value. Income earned from the investment of pooled cash is allocated
to various funds based upon the average cash balance allocated to the fund.
2. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
' end of the fiscal year are referred to as either"interfund loans" (i.e. current portion of interfund loans)
or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans). Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in
' the government-wide financial statements as"internal balances".
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance
� reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for
appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption and are valued at cost. Under the '
consumption method, the costs of inventory items are recognized as expenditures/expenses when
II - 30
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements,.Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
used. The consumption method does not require a reserve for inventory and the City has chosen not
to have such a reserve.
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.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g:, roads, bridges,
sidewalks, sewer mains and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 for machinery/equipment/vehicles, $25,000 for
land/buildings and improvements and $100,000 for infrastructure and an estimated useful life in excess of
one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or ,
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal repairs and maintenance 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. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of '
the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Properry, plant, and equipment of the primary government is depreciated using the straight line method
over the assets' estimated useful lives.
The range of useful lives used to compute depreciation are as follows:
�
Buildings 25 — 50 years
Equipment 5 — 20 years
Infrastructure 10 — 50 years
Aircraft Operational 5 —40 years
Parking Structures 10 — 20 years �
5. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vacation or compensatory time or vested sick leave of governmental funds that is
expected to be liquidated with expendable available resources is reported as an expenditure in
respective fund financial statements only if the liability has matured, for example, as a result of ,
employee resignations and retirements. All accumulated leave; including that which is not expected to
be liquidated with expendable available financial resources, is reported in the government-wide
financial statements. Accumulated leave of Enterprise Funds is recorded as an expense and liability of ,
the respective fund as the benefits accrue to employees. No liability is recorded for non-accumulating
rights to receive sick pay benefits.

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
6. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs if materiaf to basic financial statements, are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are
_ reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred
� charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt 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.
7. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that
are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose.
Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
8. Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts and Loans
Allowances for uncollectible accounts are maintained for all types of receivables, which historically
experience uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible loans are established when the City
determines its ability to collect the outstanding loan balance has been impaired.
9. Use of Estimates
Preparation of the City's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent items at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses/expenditures during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Budgets are prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting, with the exception of depreciation
within the enterprise funds. Budgets for the General Fund and enterprise funds are formally adopted �
each year through the passage of an appropriation resolve. Budgets for special revenue and capital
projects funds have adopted project-length budgets. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at fiscal year
end.
II - 32
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY, CONTINUED
Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (i.e., purchase orders,
contracts, and other commitments) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund
balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments have not be
honored in the current year. For budgetary purposes, encumbrances are treated as expenditures
within both governmental and proprietary fund types.
On or before the second Monday in April, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed .�
operating budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The Council holds public meetings and a final budget
must be prepared and adopted no later than June 30th. Should the Council fail to adopt an operating
budget on or before June 30th, by Charter, the budget proposed by the City Manager becomes
effective.
The budget is adopted at the department level through the passage of appropriation resolves. The City
Manager may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers between departments
or additional appropriations require the approval of the City Council. The City Council made several
supplementary budgetary appropriations throughout the year, none were material.
B. Reconciliation of Budgetary Basis Statements
The following schedule reconciles the General Fund, amounts on the Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance—Budget and Actual—Budgetary Basis to the amounts on
the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, Governmental Funds:

C. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations _
The following General Fund departments were over-expended by the indicated dollar amounts; City
Clerk $2.,518, Assessing $1,969, Parks and recreation $19,148, Fire $36,708, Downtown ,development
, district $1,840 and Debt service $11,590. These over-expenditures were funded by receipt of revenues
in excess of appropriation and under-expenditures within other General Fund departments.
The Airport Fund was over-expended on a departmental basis by $697,916, the majority of which is
attributable to underestimated depreciation expense. The Parking Fund was over-expended on a
departmental basis by $46,176. This over-expenditure was funded by receipt ofi revenues in excess of
appropriations. The Park Woods and Bass Park Funds were over-expended on a departmental basis by
$24,716 and $111,946 respectively, but were reasonable based upon the expected deficiencies within
eachfund.
D. Deficit Fund Equity
The Bass Park Enterprise Fund has a deficit fund equity of $1,574,675. The City Council has
determined that the facility will either be closed or replaced in the near future. With continued review
of parking usage and fees it is anticipated that the Parking Fund deficit of $284,480 will at the least
stabilize over the coming years. It is anticipated that program income in subsequent years will fund the
$111,316 deficit in the Community Development Block Grant Fund.
E. Restricted Assets
Donations received by the City whose use in limited are placed in the appropriate �pecial Revenue
fund, depending upon whether or not the principal can be expended. All changes in market value are
added to the earnings, which is allowable by State Statute. As these amounts are invested in a note
receivable, there was no change in market value for fiscal year 2007.

OTHER INFORMATION
A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of
assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters for which the City either
carries commercial insurance or is self—insured. The City currently reports all of its.risk management
activities in the General and Proprietary Funds. Claims expenditure, liabilities and reserves are reported
when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
TheSe losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported.
The City purchases coverage under a number of commercially available insurance policies such as;
commercial general liability, auto, property damage and crime and dishonesty, each with limits and
deductibles deemed prudent given the risks, cost of coverage and the City's ability to fund certain types
of losses. For those claims covered by commercial insurance, the amount of settlements has not
exceeded the coverage for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

In February 1998, the City was served Notification of Potential Liability by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with that agency's efforts to clean up a disposal site. The City is
among approximately 500 potentially responsible parties. At this time, the group is in the process of
implementing the remedy for the off-site area and continue to negotiate with the EPA for the final
remedy of the on-site area. The EPA is expected to file the final Consent Decree prior to June 30,
2008. Based upon the recent passage of LD 1929, there should be no further costs to the City. LD
1929 established a program to fund clean up costs at this site for certain parties, including
municipalities.
In 2002, the City filed suit against Citizens Communication Company (Citizens), a potentially responsible
party to force cleanup of contamination of the Penobscot River bottom due to the inability to reach
settlement. In September of 2005, the U.S. District Court issued an Order finding that the City is
responsible for 40% of the remediation costs. In July 2007, the City reached a settlement agreement
with Citizens, whereby the City received $7.625 million to be held in escrow and applied to the cost of
remediation. At this time, the cost of the remediation, which couGd range from $6 - $14 million, is
unknown.
The City is a parly to various other lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently
determinable, it is the opinion of the City's counsel that resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
D. Retirement
The City of Bangor provides retirement pensions for its employees through a number of vehicles,
including a defined contribution plan, defined benefit pension plan and social security.
Defined Contribution Plan
Description of the Plan - The City provides pension benefits for certain employees through a 401(a)
defined contribution plan administered by ICMA/RC. In addition certain full-time employees are
covered through both a 401 (a) and 457 Deferred Compensation Plans (DCP) also administered by
ICMA/RC. In a DCP, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment
earnings. Covered employ�es are eligible to participate and are fully vested from the date of
employment.
Funding Policx — Plan members not covered by employment contracts are required to contribute 6.5%
of their annual covered salary and the City is required to contribute either 8% or 10% depending upon
the employee's classification. For fiscal year 2007 covered payroll was $9,383,637 and City
contributions were $798,319. For those plan members that have employment contracts, the City
contributes at various rates from 8% - 15% of annual earnings. The covered payroll and City
contributions for those employees with employment contracts approximated $530;759 and $58,575
respectively, in fiscal year 2007.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Description of the Plan —The City contributes to the Maine State Retirement System Consolidated Plan,
a cost sharing multiple-employer retirement system established by.the Maine _State legislature. The
Maine State Retirement System provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The authority to establish and
amend benefit provisions rests with the state legislature. The Maine State Retirement System issues a

information for the Consolidated Plan. That report may be obtained by writing to Maine State
Retirement, 46 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0046 or by calling 1-800-451-9800.
Funding Policy — Plan members are required to contribute 6.5% of their annual covered salary and the
City is required to contribute an actuarially determined rate. The current rate ranges from 2.80% to
6.50% of annual covered payroll. The contribution rates of plan members and the City are established
and may be amended by the Maine State Retirement System Board of Trustees. The City's
contributions to the Maine State Retirement System Consolidated Plan for the years ended June 30,
2007, 2006, and 2005 were $701,159, $701,017, and $692,119 respectively, equal to the required
contributions for each year.
Teachers Group
Description of the Plan - All school teachers, plus other qualified educators, participate in the Maine
State Retirement System's teacher group. The teacher's group is a cost-sharing plan with a special
funding situation, established by the Maine State legislature. The Maine State Retirement System
provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to
plan members and beneficiaries. The authority to establish and amend benefit provisions rests with the
state legislature. The Maine State Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the Teacher's Group.
That report may be obtained by writing to Maine State Retirement System, 46 State House Station,
Augusta, Maine 04333-0046 or by calling 1-800-451-9800.
Funding Policy — Plan members are required to contribute 7.65% of their compensation to the
retirement system. The same statute requires the State of Maine Department of Education, to
contribute the employer contribution, which amounts to $4,172,893 (19.14%) for the fiscal year 2007.
- This amount has been reported as an intergovernmental revenue and education expenditure in.the
GAAP basis financial statements. There is no contribution required by the school department except for
federally funded teachers, for which they contributed 19.14% of their compensation. This cost is
charged to the applicable grant.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation p�an created in accordance with Internal
Revenue (IRC) Section 457. The plan permits participating employees to defer a portion of their salary
until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.

Social Security .
The City does not have a section 218 agreement to provide full social security coverage to its
employees. The City does provide full social security coverage to part-time, seasonal and temporary
. employees under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, and Internal Revenue Service
regulations, which became effective July 1, 1991.
. E. Land�ll Closure and Postclosure Care Costs
Closure of the City's Kittredge Road landfill was completed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
Potential postclosure costs have been deemed immaterial, and therefore no liability for these amounts
has been accrued. All necessary postclosure costs will be funded from the annual operating budget.
F. Subsequent Events
On August 27, 2007, the City Council authorized the issuance of $770,122 in general obligation bonds
for the purpose of funding the City's annual fleet replacement and the local share of State of Maine
road projects and $2,000,000 in general obligation bonds to finance the continuation of the City's
combined sewer overFlow program.
On November 26, 2007, the City Council authorized the issuance of $600,000 in general obligations
bonds for the purpose of renovating and improving property located at 103 Texas avenue.
The City Charter requires maintaining the City's undesignated/unreserved fund balance at between 5%
and 1.0% of the previous year's expenditures, net of debt service. As policy, the City has targeted
7.5% as a reasonable balance. At June 30, 2007, this balance exceeded the City policy of 7.5% by
$2,�522,799. Further City policy prescribes uses for these excess funds, and the Council has been
presented with a series of options for the surplus funds. Thus far, Council has appropriated funds from
the undesignated/unreserved fund balance in the amount of $550,000 to fund further environmental
assessment of the Penobscot river as well as legal costs.
