December 20, 2013
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, 2013 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 unmodified opinion is presented
as the first component of the financial section of this report.
I - 1
The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the
provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget’s Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government and Non-Profit
Organizations. Information related to this single audit, including a schedule of
expenditures of federal awards, findings, questioned costs, recommendations, and
the independent auditor’s reports on the internal control structure and compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, are included in a separately issued single audit
report.
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 city 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, which must be ratified by the voters of Bangor at a referendum held in
June prior to the start of the City’s fiscal year. Once approved, the expenditure of
I - 2
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 (Cross Insurance Center), 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 appropriation resolves.

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 2013 unemployment rate of 6.7% continues to be
on par with or below both county and state rates of 7.6% and 6.8%, 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 2012, Bangor’s retail taxable sales were $1.2 billion, or 6.89% of total
State retail sales and 57.2% of total County sales.
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 four years,
assessed value has remained relatively flat, however over the last ten years, the
average annual increase in assessed value is 4.56%. Tax base growth, the City’s
focus on controlling budgetary growth, and ramped up state funding for education
resulted in a 15.85% reduction in the City’s tax rate from 2004 to 2013.
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.
I - 4
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 Council’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
Bangor gaming facility. In October 2005, the City established a special revenue
fund to account for its share of gross slot and table game revenues to be used
primarily to finance the cost to replace our auditorium and civic center. In August
2011, the City broke ground to replace the aging facility with a right sized state of
the art Arena and meeting complex. In July 2013, the facility was officially named
the Cross Insurance Center. Construction of the $68.7 million facility was completed
in the summer of 2013 and its grand opening was held in September 2013.
The City has identified the need to enhance quality of life and housing opportunities
within a targeted west side neighborhood. Beginning in FY 2013, the City held a
variety of stakeholder and neighborhood meetings, all of which were well attended
and received, to develop a plan that can be implemented in the coming years. In
addition, a consultant was engaged to develop a wide range plan of action to follow.
This plan was recently reviewed with the City Council and the City, on its own, and
in conjunction with private developers, is beginning to implement the
recommendations.
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 to improve our
local environment and protect 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
I - 5
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 to maintain an unassigned fund balance of no more than
16.66% and no less than 8.33% of prior year expenditures, and the Council has
determined that a reasonable target is 8.33%. Unassigned fund balance in the
general fund as of June 30, 2013 was 8.90% 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, 2012 for the seventeenth 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.
Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditor’s Report
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, the discreetly-presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Bangor, Maine, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
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 from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
II-2
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
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, the discreetly
presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City
of Bangor, Maine, as of June 30, 2013, 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 accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and the Schedules 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. 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Bangor, Maine’s basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual fund financial statements, schedules, and statistical section are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual 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 basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America.
II-3
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine
In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the basic 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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 20,
2013, 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 in considering
the City of Bangor, Maine’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

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, 2013. 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 and deferred inflows at the close of
the most recent fiscal year by $204.7 million (net position).
At the close of fiscal year 2013, the City of Bangor’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $25.5 million, a decrease of $28.2 million over the restated prior year balance, the restatement was an increase of $36.4 million (See Note H) which was
partially offset by an increase of $8.2 million in current year activity. Current year increase
was primarily due to the accumulation of committed and assigned fund balances for future
payment of the Arena debt service and specific near term capital projects. Approximately 75% of the total amount, or $19.2 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. By Charter, the City is to maintain an unassigned fund balance of no more than 16.66% and no less than 8.33% of prior year
expenditures, net of debt service and the Council has determined that a reasonable target is
8.33%. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General
Fund was $7.7 million, or 8.90% of the general fund expenditure base. The annual calculation is included within the financial statements as Schedule F-2.
The total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of the City’s governmental funds
decreased by $4.8 million (25.1%), primarily due to the payment of a significant account payable and interim financing related to the Cross Insurance Center construction.
Enterprise fund liabilities increased by $60.7 million (161.0%), primarily due to the issuance
of the permanent financing of the construction of the Cross Insurance Center 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.
II - 4
The statement of net position includes all of the City’s assets, liabilities and deferred inflows,
with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases
in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position 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 leave).
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-18 to II-19 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).
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,
Bass Park and Economic Development Funds are considered to be major. Data from three
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 Position 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-30 through II-55 of
this report. Government-wide Financial Analysis
The following is a condensed version of the Statement of Net Position.
II - 6
By far the largest portion of the City’s net position reflects its net 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 position 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 position
has a deficit of $16.5 million, the governmental activity deficit of $21.3 million is partially offset
by the business type activities balance of $4.9 million. The governmental activity deficit is
primarily due to $24.0 million in outstanding pension obligation bonds.
Governmental-type net position decreased $9.7 million. The major component associated with
the decrease in governmental-type net position is the spend down in Arena funds associated
with the construction of the Cross Insurance Center, net of the receipt of $2.1 million of revenues that result from the casino operation.
Business-type net position increased by $4.9 million. The increase in net position was largely driven by a transfer of resources from the Arena Fund to the Bass Park Fund related to the
construction of the Cross Insurance Center. This was dampened by the fact that 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 $112.9 million. As shown on the Statement of
Activities, the total amount financed by the property tax was $49.9 million, or 44.3% of
expenses. Those who directly benefit from an activity provided $17.7 million in payments. Other governments and organizations subsidized certain activities with operating grants and
contributions in the amount of $31.9 million. Capital grants and contributions accounted for
$2.3 million. The City also received $10.1 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 an
increase of $1.3 million. During FY 2013, City employees did receive a cost of living adjustment
of 1.5% and health insurance increases were lower than anticipated at 8.3% due to the City’s
lower utilization rates and the effects of employee/insurer driven wellness initiatives in prior
years.

Total governmental activities’ revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 1.9%. The largest single
source of revenue continues to be the property tax, which increased $1.4 million. Capital
grants and contributions decreased $1.4 million due to a reduction of $400 thousand in Federal
Highway funding related to general street reconstruction and Safe Routes to School grants, a
$400 thousand reduction in Neighborhood Stabilization Federal funds, and the remainder
represents reductions in capital grant funding in support of Public Safety, Waterfront and public
transportation improvements. Operating grants and contributions decreased $1.2 million due to
a reduction of $1.9 million in State and Federal funding of education in FY 2013. In total,
charges for services remained relatively flat with a decrease of $463 thousand.
Business-type Activities
Total business-type activities expenses increased $1.3 million compared to prior year levels. For
FY 2013, the City employees working in business-type activities did receive a 1.5% cost of living
adjustment and health insurance increases were lower than anticipated at 8.3% due to the
City’s lower utilization rates and the effects of employee/insurer driven wellness initiatives in
prior years. Lastly, there was a significant increase in interest expense related to the
permanent financing of the Cross Insurance Center, which is recorded as a capital asset in the
Bass Park Fund.

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 $25.5 million, a decrease of $28.2 million over the restated prior year balance. The
restatement was an increase of $36.4 million (See Note H). The current year increase of $8.2
million was primarily due to the accumulation of committed and assigned fund balances for
future payment of the Arena debt service and specific near term capital projects. Of the ending
balance of $25.5 million, approximately 75% of this total ($19.2 million) is either committed,
assigned or unassigned and is available for spending by formal action of the City Council and
$2.9 million, or 11.4%, is restricted. The remainder is nonspendable, indicating that it is in the
form of nonspendable assets such as inventory, prepaid expenditures 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 $15.2 million, a $1.6 million decrease from the prior year’s balance of
$16.8 million. Generally, the overall decrease in fund balance is related to the anticipated spend down of education related restricted fund balances and Arena Pre-opening committed
and subsequent year expenditures assigned fund balances. The municipal unassigned fund
balance increased by $163 thousand.
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 2013 were relatively unchanged compared to the prior year, which was as expected based on the annual grant award of approximately $746 thousand annually. As anticipated, the
annual federal award amount decreased by 21% over FY 2012 levels. This reduction is in
addition to the nearly 16% reduction the City experienced in FY 2012 over prior year levels.
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 finance the cost to replace
the aging Bangor Auditorium and Civic Center. During the year, the Arena provided an additional $8.1 million towards the final project cost of $68.7 million, the balance was financed
with general obligation bonds which are accounted for in the Bass Park Fund.
The Capital projects fund varies significantly from year to year depending upon City Council
priorities and available funding opportunities. Total expenditures decreased $6.8 million over
the prior year. Prior year expenditures included a significant one-time expenditure of $4.3
II - 12
million to 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 position of the seven enterprise funds increased $4.9 million to a total of $170.4 million. With the exceptions
of increased capital grants received by the Airport Fund and the significant transfer of resources
from the Arena and General Funds in support of the capital costs and pre-opening costs related
to the Cross Insurance Center, all other operating revenues and expenses remained relatively
flat. The increase in net position is mitigated by the fact that depreciation expense exceeds
capital acquisitions in the Airport and Sewer Funds.
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, while actual operating revenues ended the year under budget estimates 1.28%, or $1.2 million, municipal expenditures were under budget
by 6.03%, or $5.9 million, which more than offset the negative revenue variance. Education
expenditures were under budget by $5 million or 9.7%, executive expenditures were over
budget by $346 thousand due to fleet maintenance costs and parks and recreation expenditures
were over budget due to the addition of expanded before and after school programming during
the year. There were adequate under expenditures in other municipal areas to offset the
revenue shortfall and any over expenditures. By statute, education balances must be segregated from municipal balances.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. As of June 30, 2013, the City of Bangor’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities amounted to $313.3 million (net of accumulated
depreciation), an increase of $25.7 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 $27.6 million outlay
related to the construction of the Cross Insurance Center. Governmental activities invested
$5.5 million, and business-type activities invested $35 million and depreciation expense was $4
million and $10.6 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 $1.8 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 Cross Insurance Center began in August of 2012 and was completed in
September 2013. During the year, the City invested $27.6 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 $1.27 million investment this year.
II - 13
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
enhancements, additional sidewalks and acceptance of new streets, which amounted to
$770 thousand in additions and spent $1.2 million to replace vehicles.
The Airport Fund invested $6 million in operational assets at Bangor International Airport
including apron improvements, general building improvements, master planning, as well as
the replacement of the primary underground power system. Nearly $5.1 million 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.

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 $369.6 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-44 to II-
47 of this report.
Cross Insurance Center
For nearly thirty years, City Councils have been actively working to replace the City’s aging,
inadequately sized and equipped auditorium and civic center. Their long term goal and vision
has come to its long awaited and realization in September 2013, with the opening of a state-of-
the-art 5,800 fixed seat arena and conference center, known as the Cross Insurance Center.
Since the introduction of gaming operations in the City, the City Council has directed all rents
and State taxes received by the City from the operation of casino be deposited into a separate
special revenue fund to be used for costs associated with replacing its aging facility.
To ensure the long term success of this facility, the City has engaged the services of a private
management company, Global Spectrum. While the FY 2014 budget is anticipated to
breakeven, that is due to the three months of pre-opening costs that were anticipated prior to
the grand opening. Going forward it is anticipated that the facility will generate net income. In
addition to the traditional revenue streams of ticket sales and rentals, the expectation is that the facility will generate significantly higher annual ancillary revenues in the areas of naming
rights, concessions/food and beverage, seat licensing, advertising and suite sales. The City
expects to receive sufficient revenues from naming rights, Arena Fund revenues and Downtown
Tax Increment Financing District funds to pay the debt service costs. Since it’s opening in
September, the City has also entered into a tentative developer agreement with a hotelier to
construct a 100+ room hotel adjacent to the new facility.
State of Maine Biennial Budget
The recently enacted State Biennial budget proved once again challenging to Maine
municipalities. The initial budget proposed by the Governor included substantial changes to
programs that had a potentially significant negative impact on individual property owners and
municipalities alike. While the final adopted Biennial budget did temper some of the original
proposals, it still resulted in considerable reductions at the municipal level.
Revenue sharing was established to share a portion of sales and income taxes generated by
municipally based economic activity. These funds cover some of the increased operating and
capital costs necessary to support the activity, which generates Maine State sales and income
tax revenue. Understanding that not all economic activity results in increased property taxes,
such as hospitals, educational institutions, etc.. Beginning in FY 2010, the State began to
reduce the Revenue Sharing pool by a fixed “one-time” amount to balance the State biennial

budget. What began as a one-time reduction of $25 million, has become a $44.5 million fixed
transfer to the State General Fund for FY 2014. In 2012, Bangor generated $1.21 billion in
taxable sales or $60.4 million in sales tax receipts alone. If the State complied with existing
Statute, the City would be entitled to in excess of $5 million in revenue sharing versus $2.3
million currently anticipated. This resulted in a reduction of $1.4 million over FY 2013 levels. The FY 2014 allocation is also subject to further refinement should the State be unable to
identify an additional $40 million in savings a corresponding reduction to the Revenue Sharing
pool will be made. If that were to happen, the City would realize an additional $1.4 million
reduction during FY2014.
As part of the biennial budget, the State of Maine transferred a portion of teacher retirement
costs to the local school districts. Until FY2014, the State of Maine provided 100% of the employer’s retirement contribution for teachers. While the shift is only for the normal cost
portion of the employer’s contribution and funding was added to the State Aid to Education
funding to offset the costs, this change in practice bears watching to ensure that other portions
of the costs are not shifted to the local school districts without additional state funding or a reduction in existing state funding levels of education
Changes to the General Assistance reimbursement formula and business personal property tax programs initially proposed, were not enacted, it is likely that these issues will come forward
again in the coming session as well as the funding level of State Aid to Education.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
The unemployment rate for the City of Bangor for FY 2013 was 6.7%, which continues to be on par with or below both the county and State rates of 7.6% and 6.8%, respectively.
While Bangor represents less than 3% of the state’s population, the City’s share of retail
sales is nearly 7% of total statewide 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 since.
Bangor businesses continue to reinvest in personal property. While not subject to local
taxation, the State reimburses each municipality on an annually declining percentage of the
calculated tax on the investment. BETE value (net of depreciation) for FY 2014 increased $6.6 million, or 10%, for a total of $72.6 million.
The City is subject to a state statutory tax levy calculation 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 2013, the City’s LD 1 tax levy limit was as follows:
II - 16
The Fiscal Year 2013 budget was within the statutory tax levy limit.
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 2013 and 2014 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 to session in January 2014. But at this time it is not clear what form any supplemental budget appropriation will take (refer to State of Maine
Biennial Budget section for additional information). City and school management will closely
monitor legislative actions, as it is highly likely that their actions will impact municipal/education
funding in one form or another.
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 2014 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 2014 budget, the City Council’s goal was
to minimize any tax rate increase, continue to recover from austere budget trends and increase
operating efficiencies. As always this goal was challenging due to continued reductions in State
and Federal funding, relatively flat non-property tax revenue projections and assessed value.
These challenges were partially offset by strategic reductions in staffing and a continued
increase in BETE valuation. The afore referenced actions coupled with a small increase in
property taxes of 5.8% allowed the City Council to provide a 1.5% cost of living increase to employees, maintain increased levels of investment in infrastructure, as well as 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, 2013
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (from Exhibit 4)(28,242,720)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of
activities (Exhibit 2) are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.
However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
This is the amount by which capital outlays of $5,447,993, exceeded
depreciation expense of $3,996,663 and loss on disposal of assets of $74,649.1,376,681
Financing proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental fund,
but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
Repayment of bond and capital lease principal are expenditures in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the
statement of net position. This is the amount by which principal payments of
$28,325,576 and $95,572 exceeded financing proceeds of $10,378,985 and
$456,581 in general obligation bonds and capital leases, respectively.17,585,582
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 ($244,976), bond premium ($639,850), unavailable revenues
($226,841), self insurance liability ($472) and decrease in compensated
absences ($146,511), accrued interest ($56,878).(455,068)

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements June 30, 2013
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.
The Bangor Public Library is a nonprofit organization which operates under the control of a nine
member Board of Trustees. The Bangor City Council appoints four members and the City of Bangor
Charter appoints a fifth member. The Board has the power to hire officers, approve the budget and
direct the operations of the Library. However, the Library is financially dependent upon the City in that
the City provides approximately 61% of the operating financial support received by the Library during
the year ended June 30, 2013. The City believes that the financial statements would be incomplete
without the inclusion of the Library as a discretely presented component unit. Complete financial
statements may be obtained from the Bangor Public Library, 145 Harlow Street, Bangor, ME 04401.
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, 2012 (most recent data available) the City
of Bangor’s share of the Joint Venture’s net assets was $5,900,476. Complete financial statements
may be obtained from Municipal Review Committee, 395 State Street, Ellsworth, ME 04605.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position 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, as well as
from legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable.
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.
II - 30
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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.
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.
II - 31
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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.
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 Bass Park Fund accounts for the operation of the Cross Insurance Center, a harness racing track and the 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.
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 Bangor Area Stormwater Group and various School
Activity funds.
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.

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows/Outflows 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 accounts 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 using the
weighted average method. 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.
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.
II - 33
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
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. Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets and liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows or inflows, respectively, of resources. Deferred outflows of resources
represent consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and therefore will not be
recognized as an expense/expenditure until then. The City has no items that qualify as deferred
outflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that
applies to future period(s) and therefore will not be recognized as revenue until that time. Due to
differences in the modified accrual basis of accounting, the City has one type of deferred inflow of
resources, unavailable revenue. There are three sources of unavailable revenue; property taxes,
community development loans and special assessments. These amounts are considered unavailable
and recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) in the period that the amounts become available.
6. 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.
7. 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 position.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-
line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
II - 34
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts
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.
8. 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 passage of a Council Order.
Assigned fund balances reflect the intended use of the resources. The City Council adopted a
comprehensive fund balance policy which authorized itself and the Finance Director and City
Manager, within defined limits, with the authority to assign fund balances.
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.
9. 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.
10. 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.

$196,147, Other Agencies $124, and Other Appropriations $255,573. These over-expenditures were
funded by receipt of revenues in excess of appropriations and under-expenditures within other General
Fund departments.
The Park Woods and Bass Park Funds were over-expended by $15,367 and $145,780, respectively,
due to increased supplies and contractual services expenses.
D. Deficit Fund Equity
The Grant Fund has a deficit equity of $5,736 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 2013.

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, 2013, $0 of the City’s bank
balance of $27,596,354 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and
uncollateralized.
At June 30, 2013, the City had the following investments and maturities:
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, 2013, 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.

institution. No more than 40% of the City’s total investment portfolio will be invested in any
combination of commercial paper and time certificates of deposit.
B. Property Tax
Property taxes for the current year were levied July 11, 2012, on the assessed value listed as of the

installments: September 17, 2012 and March 15, 2013. Interest was charged at 7.00% on all taxes
unpaid as of the due date.
Property taxes levied during the year were recorded as receivables at the time the levy was made.
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 inflows.
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 the filing of
the lien if the tax liens and associated costs remain unpaid.

CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS, CONTINUED
Legal Debt Margin
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, 2013, the statutory limit for the City was
$369,300,000. The City’s outstanding long-term debt of $145,219,790 at June 30, 2013 was within the statutory limit.
Refunding
The City issued $4,585,000 and $1,255,000 in public improvement and airport improvement (federally
taxable) general obligation bonds, respectively, with interest rates ranging from .50% - 4.25%. The
proceeds were used to advance refund $5,815,000 portions of outstanding 2003 Series A, 2004, 2005
Series A and B, and 2006 general obligation bonds which had interest rates ranging from 3.90% -
5.00%. The net proceeds were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide
funds for the future debt service payments on the refunded bonds. As a result, the portions of the
2003 Series A, 2004, 2005 Series A and B, and 2006 general obligations bonds are considered
defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the statement of net position. The
City advance refunded the general obligation bonds to reduce its total debt service payments over 13
years by $679,840 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present value of the debt
service payments on the old and new debt) of $625,903.
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, 2013, $155,000 remains authorized and unissued. The City expects to issue
the debt within the next twenty four months.
On August 8, 2011, the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $2,000,000 in general obligation bonds to provide funding for remediation of the Penobscot River. As of June 30, 2013, no debt for this
purpose had been issued. The City will continue to monitor when and if the debt will be issued.
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, 2013, Penobscot County had
$2,750,000 debt outstanding. The City of Bangor represents 23.68% of the overall county value,
therefore, the City had $651,200 in overlapping debt obligations as of June 30, 2013.

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 investment in capital assets was calculated as follows
at June 30, 2013:
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, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
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, 2013, the amount of self-insurance liabilities was
$2,327,918. This liability is the City’s best estimate based on available information.

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 2013 covered payroll was $16,022,388 and City
contributions were $1,370,840. 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 $471,245 and $56,153
respectively, in fiscal year 2013.

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 5.30% to
12.20% 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, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $936,700, $942,629, and $794,677
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 $3,716,192 (15.86%) for fiscal year 2013. 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 16.33% of their compensation. This cost is
charged to the applicable grant. Beginning on July 1, 2013, as a result of the State Biennial budget,
the Department will be responsible for approximately half the normal cost of the teacher’s plan. This
approximates 2.65% of compensation.

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, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:
The unfunded actuarial accrued liability as a percentage of covered payroll for June 30, 2013 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 five 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 06/30/13 Actuarial cost method Projected unit credit cost method Amortization method Level dollar Amortization period 30 years - open Actuarial assumptions: Inflation rate 3.0% Investment rate of return 4.0% Payroll growth 3.0% Healthcare cost trend rate 9.0% - 5.0% Post retirement benefit increases 0.0% - retirees pay 100% of premium

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.
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.
