December 21, 2012
To the Honorable Chair,
Members of the Bangor City Council, and
Citizens of Bangor
In accordance with the requirements of both our City Charter and state statutes, the
City of Bangor’s comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2012 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 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 City’s 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.
I - 2
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.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (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 (MD&A).
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 in Maine. 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 is the 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 the chief
administrative officer of the City and is appointed by the Council, as are the
Assessor, Solicitor, and Clerk.
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. Under a recent change in state law, the Council approved school
appropriation must be ratified by the voters of Bangor at a referendum held in June
I - 3
prior to the start of the City’s fiscal year. Once approved, the expenditure of this
appropriation is under the direction and control of the School Committee. The
School Committee employs the Superintendent of Schools as its chief operating
officer.
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 1st 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 next 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 1st, the City Manager’s proposed budget
automatically becomes that fiscal year’s budget. In either case, an appropriate
property 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 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 communications, 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 2011 unemployment rate of 7.2% continues to be
on par with or below both county and state rates of 8.1% and 7.5%, 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 hub of the six-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 is proportionally
higher. In 2011, Bangor’s share of the State’s retail sales was 9.2%, and its share
of County sales was 74.8%.
Further evidence of continuing sustained growth is the change in the City’s assessed
value of real and personal property. The annual increase in assessed value is a
combination of three factors: 1) market adjustments to existing property, 2) new
construction/additions, and 3) personal property depreciation. Over the last ten
years, the average annual increase in assessed value is 4.51%. Tax base growth,
the City’s focus on controlling budgetary growth, and ramped up state funding for
education resulted in a 22.9% reduction in the City’s tax rate from 2003 to 2012.
The City is committed to preserving its viable economic base while creating new
opportunities for future economic 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. The City’s capital
improvement plan is an integral part of the annual budget process. A complete list
of near term improvements is submitted as part of the City Manager’s budget
submission for all City functions. The plan includes projects anticipated within the
coming one to two year period with an indication of how the City anticipates funding
the improvements. Certain improvements are longer term in nature and are
updated and reviewed via the City’s Committee structure on an as needed basis.

Under a development agreement with Bangor Historic Track, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, the City receives a percentage of gross slot and
table game revenues as well as land lease payments and property taxes on the new
development associated with Bangor’s gaming facility. In October 2005, the City
established a special revenue fund to account for its share of gross slot and table
game revenues. 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. In August 2011, the City broke
ground to replace the aging facility with a right sized state of the art Arena and
meeting complex. During the year, the City engaged Global Spectrum to be the
private operator of the new facility as well as Front Row Marketing to sell naming
rights, advertising, sponsorships and premium seating in the facility. In July 2013,
the facility was officially named the Cross Insurance Center. Construction is
expected to be completed in the spring of 2013 with its grand opening planned for
September 2013.
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 Federal agencies.
This investment has resulted in the development of a significant regional
entertainment and recreational area.
Over the years, the City has invested significant resources and effort in improving
our local environment and protecting our natural resources. Over the past year, the
major emphasis has been on storm water management issues. Storm water quality
requirements and related regulations affect various water bodies within our
corporate limits and a number of watershed management plans are in various
stages of development and implementation throughout the City. The City has taken
a proactive approach to addressing storm water issues and has begun the process
to implement a storm water utility in order to fund the costs associated with storm
water management.
Relevant Financial Policies. City policy prescribes uses for unassigned fund
balances. In general, unassigned fund balance is not to be used to fund any portion
of the on-going and routine year to year operating expenditures of the City. It is to
be used primarily to ensure adequate fund balances, to respond to unforeseen
emergencies, and to provide overall financial stability.
By Charter, the City is required to maintain a balance between 5% and 10% of
operating expenditures less debt service, and the Council has determined that a
reasonable target is 8.33%. Unassigned fund balance in the general fund as of June
30, 2012 was 8.73% of expenditures, net of debt service.

Awards and Acknowledgements. The Government Finance Officers Association
(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, 2011 for the sixteenth consecutive year. 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 are confident that we have
once again met their expectations.

Report of Independent Auditors
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the 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, 2012, 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 Comptroller 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. An 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 overall financial
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 governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bangor, Maine, as of June 30, 2012,
and the respective changes in financial position, and where applicable, cash flows thereof and the
budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 17,
2012, on our consideration of the City of Bangor, Maine's internal control over financial reporting and
on 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be
considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and Schedule of Funding Progress, as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
II-2
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries
of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Bangor, Maine’s financial statements as a whole. The introductory
section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, schedules, and statistical section
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management of the City of Bangor offers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial
activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. In addition to comparative
information from the government-wide statements, comparative data is also presented on key
information from the fund financial statements. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is furnished in our letter of transmittal, which 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 $209.2 million (net assets).
At the close of fiscal year 2012, the City of Bangor’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $17.3 million, a decrease of $10.2 million over the prior year balance, primarily due to the construction of the City’s new arena and meeting complex.
Approximately 58% of the total amount, or $10 million, is either committed, assigned or
unassigned and is available for spending at the City Council’s discretion, if needed.
The City of Bangor has a fund balance policy. The City strives to maintain a General Fund
unassigned fund balance of 5% to 10% of current expenditures less debt service. At the
end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $7.6
million, or 8.73% of the general fund expenditure base. The annual calculation is included within the financial statements as Schedule F-2. In November 2012, voters approved a
charter amendment to increase the target limits of the City’s unassigned fund balance to no
more than 16.66% and no less than 8.33% of the prior year expenditures.
The total liabilities of the City’s governmental funds increased by $3.7 million (23.9%), primarily due a significant account payable related to the arena and meeting complex
construction. Enterprise fund liabilities decreased by $2.2 million (5.5%), primarily due to
principal payments exceeding net debt issued and the timing of accounts payable which can vary drastically from year to year depending upon the timing of invoices received and/or the
projects being undertaken.
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 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
II - 4
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 are
accrued but not yet paid or collected but will 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-17 to II-18 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 mostly 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, Arena fund, and 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).

Governmental

Business-type
Activities Total
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, of which the Sewer Utility, Airport and
Economic Development Funds are considered to be major. Data from four other proprietary
funds is combined into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of
these non-major proprietary funds is provided in the form of combining statements
(Schedule C) elsewhere in this report. 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 budgets (Schedule C4 – C10).
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. The
Fiduciary Statement of Net 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-29 through II-53 of
this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
The following is a condensed version of the Statement of Net Assets.
II - 6
By far the largest portion of the City’s net assets 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; such as donor, legal or granting agency
restrictions. While the remaining balance of unrestricted net assets has a deficit of $11.8
million, the governmental activity deficit of $24.6 million is partially offset by the business type
activities balance of $12.8 million. The governmental activity deficit is primarily due to $24.8
million in outstanding pension obligation bonds and that the City had not fully bonded for the construction costs associated with the arena and meeting complex as of year end.
Governmental-type net assets increased $2.2 million. The major components associated with
the increase in governmental-type net assets is the receipt of $2.4 million of arena fund revenues that result from the casino operation.
Business-type net assets decreased by $5.3 million. The reduction in net assets was largely driven by the fact user fees cannot absorb annual depreciation expense, due to the significant
cost of infrastructure, specifically within the Airport Fund. Airport infrastructure investments are
typically funded via the federal/state Airport Improvement Plan, which provides 97.5% of the
funding for projects or the Passenger Facility Charges, which is a federally regulated program
whereby per passenger fees are collected from the airlines.

Governmental Activities
The cost of all governmental activities was $111.6 million. As shown on the Statement of
Activities, the total amount financed by the property tax was $48.5 million, or 43.5% of
expenses. Those who directly benefit from an activity provided $18.2 million in payments. Other governments and organizations subsidized certain activities with operating grants and
contributions in the amount of $33.1 million. Capital grants and contributions accounted for
$3.7 million. The City also received $10.6 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 remained relatively flat over the prior year with a
decrease of $300 thousand. During FY 2012, City employees did not receive a cost of living
adjustment and due to lower than anticipated utilization coupled with employee/insurer driven
wellness initiatives there were no increase in health insurance costs.

Total governmental activities’ revenues decreased $4.0 million, or 3.4%. The largest single source of revenue continues to be the property tax, which increased $493 thousand. Capital
grants and contributions decreased $1.2 million due to receipt of a $1.5 million ARRA grant for
busses received in FY 2011. In total, charges for services decreased $885 thousand, of that
amount $672 thousand was due to decreased ambulance service billings.
Business-type Activities
Total business-type activities expenses were increased slightly compared to prior year levels,
with an increase of 1.6%, or $523 thousand. For FY 2012, the City employees working in
business-type activities did not receive a cost of living adjustment and due to lower than
anticipated utilization coupled with employee/insurer driven wellness initiatives there were no
increase in health insurance costs.

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 spendable resources. Fund
balance is the measure of a governmental fund’s spendable resources. Governmental funds
report fund balances in one of five possible classifications. The nonspendable portion of fund
balance cannot be spent. Restricted fund balances are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. Committed fund balances are subject to limitations the City Council has imposed,
that are binding unless removed in the same manner. Assigned fund balances reflect the
intended use of resources. Unassigned fund balances are resources which have not been
classified in any other category. Only the General Fund can report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
At fiscal year end, the City of Bangor’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $17.3 million, a decrease of $10.2 million from the prior year balance, primarily due
to the construction of the City’s new arena and meeting complex. Of the ending balance of
$17.3 million, approximately 58% of this total ($10 million) is either , committed, assigned or
unassigned and is available for spending by formal action of the City Council and $4 million, or
23.2%, is restricted. The remainder is nonspendable, indicating that it is in the form of
nonspendable assets such as inventory, prepaid expenses and allowance for advances made to
other funds.
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 General Fund’s
total fund balance was $16.8 million, a $252 thousand decrease from the prior year’s balance of
$17 million. Generally, the overall decrease in fund balance is related to the anticipated spend
down of education related restricted fund balances. The municipal unassigned fund balance
decreased by $455 thousand. As part of the FY 2012 budget process, $250 thousand of unassigned fund balance was transferred to assigned fund balances and $744 thousand was
transferred to the Capital Projects Fund to partially fund Penobscot River remediation work and
to increase operating efficiencies and customer service through technological advancements.
This planned use of unassigned fund balance in the amount of $984 thousand was partially
offset by positive variances within both municipal operating revenues and expenditures.
The Community Development Block Grant Fund accounts for the annual entitlement grant funds received under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Total expenditures for
FY 2012 were relatively flat in comparison to the prior year, which was as expected based on
the annual grant award of approximately $900 thousand annually. As anticipated, the annual
federal award amount decreased by nearly 16% for FY 2013.
The Arena Fund accounts for the allocation of slot and table game revenues received by the
City from the operation of the casino. The fund was established to replace the current Bangor Auditorium and Civic Center. During the year, the City expended $33.6 million to replace this
facility. Additional information related to this project can be found within the Cross Insurance
Center section of this letter
The Capital projects fund varies significantly from year to year depending upon City Council
priorities and available funding opportunities. Total expenditures increased $5.5 million over
the prior year. The current year includes a significant one-time expenditure of $4.3 million to
II - 12
refund capital project related debt and $479 thousand for the Penobscot River coal tar
remediation project.
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 net assets of the seven enterprise funds decreased $5.3 million to a total of $166 million. With the exceptions of
lower margins on fuel sales within the Airport Fund operating revenue and increased operating
expenses within the Sewer Fund due to the development of a capacity management and
operations and maintenance program, all other operating revenues and expenses remained
relatively flat. The decrease in net assets is related to depreciation expense exceeding capital
acquisitions.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
For budgetary financial statement purposes, all balances carried from the prior year are added
to the subsequent year’s total appropriation. This resulted in an overall budgetary increase of
$4.3 million. There were minimal additional amendments to the originally adopted budget. The
City’s commitment to budgetary integrity continues, with actual operating revenues exceeding budget estimates by .8%, or $781 thousand, while municipal expenditures were under budget
by 5.2%, or $5 million. Education expenditures were under budget by $4.8 million or 9.3%,
and general assistance expenditures were over budget by $377 thousand. General assistance is
a state mandated program, for which the each municipality is partially reimbursed. General
assistance costs are directly impacted by economic conditions. By statute, education balances
must be segregated from municipal balances.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. As of June 30, 2012, the City of Bangor’s investment in capital assets for its
governmental and business-type activities amounted to $287.6 million (net of accumulated
depreciation), an increase of $29.3 million over the prior year. This investment includes land, buildings, machinery and equipment, roads, runways, and sewer lines. The increase in the
City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year is due to a $33 million increase in
construction in progress related to the City’s Arena and meeting complex. Governmental activities invested $38.9 million, and business-type activities invested $4.8 million and
depreciation expense was $3.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following;
The school department utilized its allocation of Qualified School Construction Bonds to
capitalize $3.6 million in rehabilitating and upgrading the City’s various school facilities.
These bonds were issued at a taxable rate with a federal interest rate subsidy under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Construction of the City’s Arena and meeting complex began in August of 2012. During the
year, the City invested $33 million in this project and the total estimated project cost is
approximately $68.7 million.
The City continues to enhance its recreational infrastructure on our waterfront with an
additional $230 thousand investment this year.
Additionally, the City continues to invest in its core functions of infrastructure and vehicle replacements. This year the City expanded its surface infrastructure with traffic
II - 13
enhancements, additional sidewalks and acceptance of new streets, which amounted to
$638 thousand in additions and replaced $925 thousand of vehicles.
The Airport Fund invested $4.2 million in operational assets at Bangor International Airport
including apron improvements, general building improvements, snow removal equipment, as
well as the replacement of the primary underground power system. Nearly $963 thousand of this investment was funded through the Federal Department of Transportation’s Airport
Improvement Plan, which provides 92.5% federal and 2.5% state funding for approved
projects and additional $1.6 million was funded with Passenger Facility Charges.

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 $368 million, an
amount which is significantly in excess of existing general obligation debt.
In November 2012, residents approved a citizen-initiated Charter amendment to require voter
ratification of certain debt issuances. Voter ratification will be required for individual projects in
excess of five one-hundredths of one percent of the City’s last certified State Valuation, that do
not meet certain exemptions; such as streets, sewer, self-supporting enterprise funds, refunding, etc.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note I on pages II-42 to II-
45 of this report.
Cross Insurance Center
Since the 1980’s, the City Council has been actively working to replace the City’s current
auditorium and civic center. In 2003, the City Council supported the introduction of gaming
within the City, the primary impetus being that such an operation would generate a revenue
stream that could be dedicated to fund the costs associated with replacing the City’s 50 year old
auditorium and outdated, undersized civic center. Since gaming began in November 2005 the
City Council has directed all rents and state taxes received from the operation of the casino be
deposited into a separate special revenue fund, the Arena Fund. The City Council has adopted
and maintained a policy specifying that the primary use for funds in the Arena Fund is to
finance the cost to replace the City’s current facility. Penn National Gaming operates the casino
which includes, approximately 110,000 square feet for gaming, a 152 room seven story hotel
and a 1,500 car parking garage.
Based upon the results of a market sizing and feasibility study, a schematic design and pricing for the replacement of the current auditorium and civic center, and a thorough initial review of
the City’s financial capacity, the City Council took action to contract for the design and
construction of a new arena/meeting complex. In order to maximize the City’s financial
resources for this project, area legislators supported private and special legislation at the State
level to exempt the debt issued for this project from current legislative constraints (i.e. statutory
debt limits, TIF debt limits and the 20 year limit on use of TIF revenues to pay debt service).
Based on all the available information in May 2011, the initial budget was established at $65 million and ground was broken in August 2011.
In July 2012, the City was pleased to announce a naming rights agreement with the Cross
Insurance Agency to name the facility the Cross Insurance Center. The naming rights
agreement is for a period of 15 years in the amount of $200,000 per year. On July 31, 2012,
the City issued $53.8 million in general obligation bonds to fund the project, $20 million of
which were used to extinguish a bond anticipation note. Based on available resources, and the private business use associated with the facility, the balance of the project costs will be paid for
with accumulated Arena Fund monies. With naming rights secured and actual debt service
requirements known, the City revised its project budget to $68.7 million. This allowed certain
aspects of the project previously deferred due to budget concerns to come to fruition such as;
finishing out the meeting rooms and suites, increasing the furniture, fixture and equipment
budget and finishing of the main parking lot. The debt service for this project is anticipated to
II - 15
be funded by the revenue received by the City from the gaming operation coupled with a
portion of the existing Downtown Development TIF.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009
Through the end of FY 2012, the City has received in excess of $10 million of benefit from a
variety of ARRA programs. Some funding came through a competitive grant process, such as
Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Justice, other through entitlement
programs such as Community Development Block Grant and further funding came as a pass
through from the State of Maine, such as the Departments of Education and Transportation. These funds enabled the City to make significant capital investments it would otherwise not
likely have made as well as provide crucial operational support for our education and police
functions.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
The unemployment rate for the City of Bangor for calendar year 2011 was 7.2%, which
continues to be on par with or below both the county and State rates of 8.1% and 7.5%,
respectively.
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 75% of Penobscot County sales.
Bangor has experienced a slowing in the rate of appreciation of existing homes. We project that existing home values will remain flat or increase slightly in the coming year.
Value of commercial properties has begun to increase slightly after realizing significant
downward adjustments made in FY 2010 and remaining flat for FY 2011.
Bangor businesses continue to reinvest in personal property. Business equipment tax
exempt (BETE) investments are not subject to local taxation however, the State reimburses
each municipality on an annually declining percentage of the calculated tax on the
investment. BETE value (net of depreciation) for FY 2013 increased $8.4 million, or 14.6%, for a total of $57.6 million.
The City is subject to a state statutory system (known as LD 1). Generally, the growth of the
tax levy is limited to an increase equal to the ten year average percentage change in real
statewide personal income plus taxes from property value resulting from new construction,
major renovations to existing properties, or the subdivision of property less any “net new state
funding”. For Fiscal Year 2012, the City’s LD 1 tax levy limit was as follows:
Prior Year Base Municipal Commitment $ 21,410,926
Growth Factor: 4.80% Average Real Personal Income 1.66%
Property Growth Factor 3.14%
Net New State Funds -
Municipal Commitment Limit $ 25,320,691
The Fiscal Year 2012 budget was within the statutory tax levy limit.
II - 16
The State’s “Essential Programs and Services” model, is a mechanism designed to allocate state
funding to local school units and to control local school expenditures. 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 for both Fiscal Year 2012 and 2013 in order to fund
such services and programs and their actions were approved, as required via a local election.
In response to the continued uncertainty surrounding the national economy, management has
been closely tracking not only revenues and expenditures, but also foreclosure, liens,
unemployment rates, construction starts and related building permit levels, and the State of
Maine’s budgetary projections. The City continues to see only slight increases in foreclosure and lien rates and will continue to monitor these levels and take steps to assist our tax/rate
payers in obtaining assistance wherever possible. Both residential and commercial construction
and permitting has begun to increase slightly.
The Maine State Legislature will return in January 2013. Based on current information, it
appears that a supplemental budget appropriation will likely be necessary to address the State’s
current year budget shortfall. City and school management will closely monitor their actions, as resolution of their budget shortfall will undoubtedly impact municipal/education funding in one
form or another. During FY 2010 and FY 2011, the State supplemented its appropriation for
State Aid to Education with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. In FY 2012, those
funds were no longer available, but that reduction was partially offset by Federal jobs grant
funds. The FY 2013 budget was able to absorb this reduction in funding without programmatic
reductions.
We continue to monitor key revenue areas such as: flat investment yield curves, automobile
excise taxes, property tax collection and State sales and income tax collections that impact the
City’s share of State Revenue Sharing. The fiscal year 2013 budget reflects the City’s historical
results for these revenue sources, and actual results to date appear to be on track with budgetary estimates. User fees for governmental and business-type activities are reviewed on
an annual basis to ensure that fee structures are sufficient to cover service costs. Many fees
are adjusted annually for inflation. For the Fiscal Year 2013 budget, the City Council’s goal was
to minimize any tax rate increase, begin to rebound from austere budget trends and increase
operating efficiencies. As always this goal was challenging due to relatively flat revenue
projections and assessed value. These challenges were partially offset by continued historically
lower benefit utilization rates in our health insurance program (increase of 7.34% July 2011, decrease of 2.9% in January 2012), strategic reductions in staffing, and a continued increase in
BETE valuation. The afore referenced coupled with a small increase in property taxes of 2.3%
allowed the City Council to provide a 1.5% cost of living increase to employees for the first time
in three years, increased level of investment in infrastructure, as well as reinstatement of the
practice of funding assigned fund balances for future capital purchases on a current basis.

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, 2012
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (from Exhibit 4)(10,196,586)$
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 $38,893,499, of which
$470,415 was contributed, exceeded depreciation expense of
$3,945,810 and disposals of $67,810.34,879,879
Financing proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental
funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities 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 financing
proceeds of $30,659,143 in general obligation bonds exceeded
principal payments of $8,440,651.(22,218,492)
Some items reported in the statement of activities do not require
the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported
in governmental fund statements. The differences are as follows:
increase net OPEB obligation ($221,492), self insurance liability ($255,866),
deferred taxes ($180,193), and decrease in compensated absences
($9,654) and accrued interest ($36,544).(250,967)

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2012
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, 2011 (most recent data available) the City
of Bangor’s share of the Joint Venture’s net assets was $5,952,477. Complete financial statements
may be obtained from Municipal Review Committee, 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 segments 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 restricted 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.

II - 30
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 financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property 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 Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the development of
viable urban communities.
The Arena Fund accounts for the percentage of slot revenues received by the City from the
operation of the casino. 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.
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
II - 31
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 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 account for assets the City holds for others in an agency capacity. They are
custodial in nature and do not present results of operations of the City or have a
measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
The City serves as an agent for the American Folk Festival, Bangor Area Stormwater Group
and various School Activity funds.
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.
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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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. City 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 are offset by nonspendable fund balance 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. The cost of
inventories are recognized as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
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.
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
II - 33
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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.
Property, 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.
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 material to basic financial statements, are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
II - 34
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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 fund balances in one of five possible
classifications. Classification is based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor
constraints on the specific purposes for which the funds can be spent. The categories are as follows;
Nonspendable fund balance cannot be spent.
Restricted fund balances are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions.
Committed fund balances are subject to limitations the City Council has imposed, that are binding
unless removed or modified by the City Council.
Assigned fund balances reflect the intended use of the resources. The City Council authorized
itself and the Finance Director and City Manager within defined limits with this authority.
Unassigned fund balances are resources which have not been classified in any other category.
Only the General Fund can report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
Should there be multiple sources of funding available for a particular purpose, it is the City’s policy to
expend currently budgeted resources first, then use other sources in the order of restricted, then
committed, then assigned, then unassigned amounts.
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.
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 in assigned fund balance and
do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments have not been 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 of which were material.

The following schedule reconciles the amounts on the enterprise funds’ Schedules of Revenues,
Expenditures and Encumbrances—Budget and Actual—Budgetary Basis to the amount on the Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets:
C. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
The following General Fund departments were over-expended by the indicated dollar amounts;
Executive $13,229, Legal $742, Insurance $7,233, Fire $216,921, Health and Community Services
$337,195, and Parks and Recreation $133,667. These over-expenditures were funded by receipt of
revenues in excess of appropriations and under-expenditures within other General Fund departments.
The Park Woods Fund was over-expended by $66,020, due to increased supplies and contractual
services expenses.
D. Deficit Fund Equity
The Arena Fund has a deficit fund equity of $4,603,950 which was funded in the subsequent year with
bond proceeds. The Grant Fund has a deficit equity of $4,584 which was funded in the subsequent
year.
E. Restricted Assets
Donations received by the City whose use is limited are placed in the appropriate Special 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 2012.

DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Deposits and Investments
The City maintains a cash pool that is available for use by all funds. In addition, cash and investments
are separately held by several of the funds.
Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be
returned. The City does not have a policy with respect to custodial credit risk for deposit accounts.
The City maintained certain accounts whose balances were fully covered, for other accounts in which
the balance exceeded the $250,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
pledged collateral securities were held in the City’s name. As of June 30, 2012, $0 of the City’s bank
balance of $19,038,426 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and
uncollateralized.
At June 30, 2012, the City had the following investments and maturies:
Interest Rate Risk
The City’s investment policy requires that, to the extent possible, the City will attempt to match
investments with anticipated cash requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City is not
allowed to directly invest in securities maturing more than three years from the date of purchase.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
Maine statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S agencies,
repurchase agreements and certain corporate stocks and bonds. In accordance with City policy,
investments in certificates of deposits must be F.D.I.C. insured and any excess of the amounts covered
by insurance must be collateralized in accordance with Title 30-A, Section 5706 of the Maine Revised
Statutes; investments in mutual funds must be “no load” (which means no commission or fee shall be
charged on the purchase or sale), have a constant daily net asset value of $1.00 per share and limit
assets of the fund to U.S. Treasury Obligations or Federal Instrumentality or Agency Securities; the
total investments in stock can not exceed 10% of the portfolio value and no more than 5% can be
invested in any one company.
Custodial Credit Risk - Investments
For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of the outside party. As of June 30, 2012, the City had no investments that were subject to
custodial risk. The City’s investment policy states that all security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City shall be conducted on a “delivery vs. payment” basis.

The receivables collected during the year and in the first sixty days following the end of the fiscal year
have been recorded as revenues. The remaining receivables have been recorded as deferred
revenues. Tax liens are placed on real property within twelve months following the tax commitment
date if taxes are delinquent. The City has the authority to foreclose on property eighteen months after

DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS, CONTINUED
Annual debt service requirements to maturity for general obligation bonds and notes payable are as
follows:
The City is subject to the laws of the State of Maine, which limits the amount of long-term debt to 15%
of the state’s assessed valuation of the City. At June 30, 2012, the statutory limit for the City was
$368,467,500. The City’s outstanding long-term debt of $109,382,148 at June 30, 2012 was within the
statutory limit.
Bond Anticipation Note
On June 8, 2012, the City issued $30,000,000 of twelve month bond anticipation notes for the
construction of its new arena. The City only drew down $20,000,000 of funds at a rate of .88%. The
principal plus accrued interest was permanently financed on July 31, 2012 and was therefore
recognized as long-term debt as of June 30, 2012.
Authorized and Unissued
On November 26, 2007, the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $600,000 in general
obligation bonds for the purpose of renovating and rehabilitating property located at 103 Texas
Avenue. As of June 30, 2012, $155,000 remains authorized and unissued. The City expects to issue the debt within the next twenty four months.
Overlapping Debt
In addition to the bonds and notes payable, the City may be contingently responsible for a
proportionate share of overlapping debt. Overlapping debt is debt issued by a separate entity that
shares the same tax base as the City of Bangor. As of June 30, 2012 the City did not have any
overlapping debt obligations.

net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balance of bonds and capital leases payable and adding back any unspent proceeds. Net
assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the
enabling legislations adopted by the City of through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors
or laws or regulations of other governments. The City’s net assets invested in capital assets, net of
related debt was calculated as follows at June 30, 2012:
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, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
The City is self-insured for its workers’ compensation liability. Reserves are actuarially determined
each year to assure funding adequacy. In addition, the City purchases excess workers’ compensation insurance to limit its financial risk. At June 30, 2012, the amount of self-insurance liabilities was
$2,429,846. This liability is the City’s best estimate based on available information.

incremental increase in real estate and/or personal property tax revenues over staggered twenty year
periods for the following purposes:
B.I.A. Municipal Development District No. 1 – Partially financed $27.5 million dollars of capital
expenditures at manufacturing facilities leased by General Electric Company.

C. Contingent Liabilities
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 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. A Consent
Decree has been negotiated with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the
remediation the first phase of which has been completed. The City continues to work with State and
Federal agencies to negotiate an agreement for the remainder of the remediation.
In 1991, the City entered into a consent decree with the Federal Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in regards to wastewater discharge. The City complied with and completed the projects and
plans as originally identified in the 1991 decree. The EPA has indicated that the City will now need to
undertake additional projects related to long term control and asset management plans, and a capacity
management operations and maintenance program. The City has not yet entered into any agreement
with the EPA, but has begun work on the areas identified to date by the EPA.
The City is a party 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 employees are eligible to participate and are fully vested from the date of
employment. The authority to establish and amend plan provisions or requirements rests with the City.
Funding Policy – 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 2012 covered payroll was $14,696,711 and City
contributions were $1,254,952. For those plan members that have employment contracts, the City
contributes at various rates from 10% - 15% of annual earnings. The covered payroll and City
contributions for those employees with employment contracts were $462,404 and $53,075
respectively, in fiscal year 2012.
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued

OTHER INFORMATION, CONTINUED
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Description of the Plan – The City contributes to the Maine Public Employees Retirement consolidated
plan, a cost sharing multiple-employer retirement system established by the Maine State legislature.
The Maine Public Employees 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 Public Employees
Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for the Consolidated Plan. That report may be obtained by writing
to Maine Public Employees 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 4.40% to
10.20% of annual covered payroll. The contribution rates of plan members and the City are
established and may be amended by the Maine Public Employees Retirement System Board of
Trustees. The City’s contributions to the Maine Public Employees Retirement System Consolidated Plan
for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $942,629, $794,677, and $702,525
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
Public Employees 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 Public Employees 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 Public Employees 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 Public
Employees 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 $3,977,170 (16.36%) for fiscal year 2012. 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 16.36% of their compensation. This cost is
charged to the applicable grant.

Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan 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. Other Postemployment Benefits
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting
by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, was implemented, as required, by
the City for the year ended June 30, 2009. Under this pronouncement, it requires that the long-term
cost of retirement health care and obligations for other postemployment benefits (OPEB) be
determined on an actuarial basis and reported similar to pension plans.
Description of the Plan - The City sponsors a single-employer post-retirement benefit plan providing health insurance to retiring employees through CIGNA. CIGNA issues a publicly available financial
report that may be obtained through their website www.cigna.com. Full- time City employees age 50
or older and covered under the active medical plan are eligible to participate. Retirees that are designated in a plan pay 100% of the coverage premium. A Medicare Supplement plan is available for
eligible retirees. For retirees without Medicare, coverage is available without a Medicare offset.
Funding Policy and Annual OPEB Cost - GASB Statement 45 does not mandate the prefunding of
postemployment benefits liability. The City currently plans to fund these benefits on a pay-as-you-go
basis. No assets have been segregated and restricted to provide postemployment benefits. The annual
required contribution (ARC), an actuarial determined rate, represents a level of funding that, if paid on
an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize unfunded actuarial
liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The following table represents the OPEB costs for the year and the annual required contribution:

Funding Status and Funding Progress – The City’s annual OPEB cost, the net OPEB obligation and the
percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan for the years ending June 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are as follows:
The unfunded actuarial accrued liability as a percentage of covered payroll for June 30, 2012 is as
follows:
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of events in the future. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and
the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are
compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The required schedule
of funding progress presented as required supplementary information provides multiyear trend
information (only four years available) that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
Actuarial methods and assumptions – Projections of benefits are based on the substantive plan (the
plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits in force at
the valuation date and the pattern of sharing benefit costs between the City and plan members at that
point. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and employ methods and assumptions that
are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
plan assets. Significant methods and assumptions were as follows:
Actuarial valuation date 1/1/11
Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit cost method
Amortization method Level dollar
Amortization period 30 years - open
Actuarial assumptions:
Investment rate of return 4.0%
Claims aging 3.0%
Healthcare cost trend rate 8.7% - 4.0%

F. Landfill 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.
G. Subsequent Events
On July 31, 2012, the City issued $53,800,000 in general obligation bonds for the purpose of funding
the arena/meeting complex project. The City Council has identified a portion of the City’s Downtown
Tax Increment Financing District proceeds, as well as the gaming revenue received by the City as the
source of repayment for this debt. A portion of the proceeds were used to extinguish a $20,000,000
bond anticipation note issued in June 2012.
On August 13, 2012 the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $4,939,000 in general obligations
bonds for the purpose of funding street and bridge work, Wastewater Infrastructure, the City’s annual
fleet/equipment replacement, and a fire engine.
On October 23, 2012, the City issued $2,800,000 in general obligation federally taxable direct payment
Qualified School Construction Bonds, under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009. The bond proceeds will finance the rehabilitation, reconstruction, repair, upgrading and
equipping of the City’s various school facilities. The bonds were issued at a taxable interest rate of
4.05% for a period of twenty-three years. The City will be entitled to receive interest subsidy
payments equal to the full 4.05%, as the applicable tax credit rate on the date of the issuance was in
excess of the stated rate, from the United States Department of Treasury for the life of the issue.
This subsidy is subject to action by the United States Congress.
On November 6, 2012, Bangor residents voted to approve a citizen-initiated Charter amendment to
require voter ratification of certain debt issuances. The amendment will require voter ratification of
any order authorizing the issuance of debt for an individual project in excess of five one-hundredths of
one percent of the City’s last certified State Valuation. The amendment also exempts certain
borrowings from the voter ratification requirement such as; streets, sewers, self-supporting enterprise
funds, refunding, etc.
On November 6, 2012, Bangor residents voted to approve a Charter amendment to increase the target
limits of the City’s unassigned fund balance from no more than 10% and no less than 5% of the City’s
prior year expenditures less debt service to no more than 16.66% and no less than 8.33% of prior year
expenditures.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises. The intent of the government is to have
the costs of providing goods or services to the general public financed or recovered
primarily through user charges. The government has decided that periodic
determination of net income is appropriate for accountability purposes.
In addition to the major funds reported in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
Note C the City has the following nonmajor enterprise funds:
Park Woods – This 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.
Parking Fund – This 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.
Bass Park Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the Bangor auditorium, Bangor
Civic Center, and Bangor State Fair. Principal sources of revenue are admissions,
concession sales, and rentals. The fund is named after the Bass family, which
bequeathed the property to the City for recreational purposes.
Municipal Golf Course – This fund accounts for the operation of a 27 hole municipal golf
course. Principal revenue sources are season memberships and daily green fees.
