INTRODUCTORY SECTION

The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the
provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget’s Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government and Non-Profit
Organizations. Information related to this single audit, including a schedule of
expenditures of federal awards, findings, questioned costs, recommendations, and
the independent auditor’s reports on the internal control structure and compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, are included in a separately issued single audit
report.
GASB requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and
analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s
Discussion and Analysis (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 of Maine’s 22 cities. The City occupies approximately 35
square miles on the western shore of the Penobscot River. Bangor was first settled
in 1656, incorporated as a town on February 25, 1791 and as a city on February 12,
1834. Bangor has become a major trade, distribution, service, and commercial
center for the central, eastern, and northern portions of the State.
The City operates under a Charter adopted in 1931 that provides for a Council-
Manager form of government. The City Council is composed of nine members who
are elected at large for three-year staggered terms. The Charter grants to the
Council all powers to enact, amend, or repeal rules, ordinances, and resolutions
relating to the City’s property, affairs, and government; to preserve the public
peace, health, and safety; to establish personnel policies; to give effect to any vote
of the City; and to authorize the issuance of debt. The Council adopts an annual
budget and provides for an annual audit. The City Manager is the chief
administrative officer of the City and is appointed by the Council, as are the
Assessor, Solicitor, and Clerk. In October 2010 the City Council announced that
Catherine Conlow would begin her tenure as City Manager in November 2010.
The City’s schools are governed by a seven-member School Committee. Its
members are elected at large to staggered three-year terms. By Charter, the School
Committee has all the powers and performs all the duties related to the care and
management of the public schools of the City. The Committee annually furnishes to
the City Council an estimate of sums required for school purposes for the ensuing
municipal year. The City Council makes a single gross appropriation for this
purpose. Under a recent change in state law, the Council approved school
appropriation must be ratified by the voters of Bangor at a referendum held in June
I-3
prior to the start of the City’s fiscal year. Once approved, the expenditure of this
appropriation is under the direction and control of the School Committee. The
School Committee employs the Superintendent of Schools as its chief operating
officer.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including police and fire,
highways and sanitation, health and welfare, parks and recreation, education, public
transportation, planning, business and economic development, code enforcement,
and general administrative services. Bangor International Airport, sanitary sewer
services, the Bass Park Complex, parking, golf course, economic development, and a
transitional housing complex are accounted for in the City’s Enterprise Funds.
The City’s budgeting process is structured around its fiscal year, which begins on
July 1st and ends on the following June 30th. The City annually adopts budgets for
its general fund and seven enterprise funds. The City Charter requires that the City
Manager submit a recommended budget to the Council by the second Monday in
April. The budget, which must be in balance, contains estimates of all non-tax
revenues and receipts expected to be received during the next fiscal year, the
expenditures necessary to support City operations, debt service requirements, and
the tax levy required to achieve balance between revenues and expenditures. The
Council may modify recommended expenditures and the recommended tax levy. If
the Council fails to adopt a budget by July 1st, the City Manager’s proposed budget
automatically becomes that fiscal year’s budget. In either case, an appropriate
property tax levy is established and filed with the City Assessor who then sets the
necessary property tax rate.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and
control and is prepared by fund, function, and department. The City Manager may
transfer resources within a department; however, transfers between departments
require Council action.
Special Revenue Funds do not have adopted budgets but have program budgets.
Budgetary controls are maintained on other governmental funds through formal
authorizations by the City Council and through grant agreements. All budgets are
legally adopted by the City Council through the passage of an appropriation resolve.
I-4
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 2009 unemployment rate of 7.6% continues to be
on par with or below both country and state rates of 9.3%, 8.0%, 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 2009, Bangor’s share of the State’s retail sales was 9%, and its share of
County sales was 71%.
Further evidence of continuing sustained growth is the change in the City’s assessed
value of real and personal property. The annual increase in assessed value is a
combination of three factors: 1) market adjustments to existing property, 2) new
construction/additions, and 3) personal property depreciation. Over the last ten
years, the average annual increase in assessed value is 6.1%. Tax base growth, the
City’s focus on controlling budgetary growth, and ramped up state funding for
education resulted in a 19% reduction in the City’s tax rate from 2001 to 2010.
The City is committed to preserving its viable economic base while creating new
opportunities for future economic growth. To achieve these objectives, the City is
proactive in supporting economic activity through planned capital improvements,
innovative financing, and aggressive marketing.
Long-term financial planning and major initiatives. The City’s capital
improvement plan is an integral part of the annual budget process. A complete list
of near term improvements is submitted as part of the City Manager’s budget
submission for all City functions. The plan includes projects anticipated within the
coming one to two year period with an indication of how the City anticipates funding
the improvements. Certain improvements are longer term in nature and are
updated and reviewed via the City’s Committee structure on an as needed basis.
I-5
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.
In addition, after many years of investigation and negotiations with several federal
agencies, the City has completed the major portion of the coal tar remediation. The
City continues to work with State and Federal agencies to ensure and monitor the
long term impacts/success of the project.
Under a development agreement with Bangor Historic Track, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, the City receives a percentage of gross slot
revenue as well as land lease payments and property taxes on the new development
associated with Maine’s only gaming facility. In October 2005, the City established a
special revenue fund to account for its share of gross slot revenue. In addition, the
Council Order establishing this fund specifies that its primary use will be to construct
a new arena in Bangor to replace the Bangor Auditorium which opened in Bass Park
in 1954. Based on a Market Sizing and Feasibility Study related to the construction
of a new arena and meeting space, the City Council contracted for schematic design
services as well as the hiring of a preconstruction manager. The initial plan has
been submitted to the City, anticipating a construction start date of 2011. At this
time, the City Council is reviewing the overall scope of the project and is expected to
make a final decision in early 2011.
Over the years, the City has invested significant resources and effort in improving
our local environment and protecting our natural resources. Over the past year, the
major emphasis has been on storm water management issues. Storm water quality
requirements and related regulations affect various water bodies within our
corporate limits and a number of watershed management plans are in various
stages of development and implementation throughout the City. The City has taken
a proactive approach to addressing storm water issues. We believe it was this
approach that led to the City’s success in obtaining the maximum award of
$3,000,000 from the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund capitalized via the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
In order to achieve significant long term energy savings as well as to provide
environmental, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality improvements, the City
invested $1.2 million in a variety of projects as a result of an energy audit of all its
facilities. The audit indicated that the City would be able to achieve adequate
savings on an annual basis to amortize the debt for the projects in 9.34 years. After
the end of the first year of operations, the City received an energy audit report. The
report detailed the reduced energy demand as well as the financial impact. Due to
the improvements made the City was able to avoid $196,371 of annual utility costs
and lowered its payback period on this investment to 6.08 years.
I-6
Relevant Financial Policies. City policy prescribes uses for undesignated fund
balances. In general, undesignated 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 designated fund balances, to respond
to unforeseen emergencies, and to provide overall financial stability. During the
year, $140,000 was appropriated to fund costs associated with the City Manager’s
retirement and the cost to conduct an executive search and recruitment for a
replacment, in compliance with the aforementioned policy.
By Charter, the City is required to maintain a balance between 5% and 10%, and
the Council has determined that a reasonable target is 7.5%. Unreserved,
undesignated fund balance in the general fund as of June 30, 2010 was 9.99% of
expenditures, net of debt service.
Awards and Acknowledgements. The Government Finance Officers Association
of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Bangor for its comprehensive annual
financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 for the fourteenth
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,py

Report of Independent Auditors
City Council
City of Bangor, Maine:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bangor,
Maine, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
City of Bangor, Maine's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bangor, Maine, as of June 30, 2010,
and the respective changes in financial position, and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated December 20,
2010, on our consideration of the City of Bangor, Maine's internal control over financial reporting and
on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be
considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and Schedule of Funding Progress – Retiree Healthcare Plan, 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.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Bangor, Maine’s financial statements as a whole. The introductory
section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, schedules, and statistical section
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do
not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management of the City of Bangor offers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial
activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In addition to comparative
information from the government-wide statements, comparative data is presented on key
information from the fund financial statements. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is furnished in our
letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages I-1 to I-6 of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City of Bangor exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal
year by $208.7 million (net assets).
At the close of fiscal year 2010, the City of Bangor’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $27.7 million, a decreased of $3.8 million over the prior year.
Approximately 79% of the total amount, or $21.8 million, is available for spending at the
City’s discretion (unreserved fund balance).
The City of Bangor has a fund balance policy. The City strives to maintain a general fund
unreserved/undesignated fund balance of 5% to 10% of current expenditures less debt
service. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved undesignated fund balance for the
General Fund was $8.5 million, or 9.99% of the general fund expenditure base. The annual
calculation is included within the financial statements as Schedule F-2.
The total liabilities of the City’s governmental funds increased by $100 thousand (0.7%),
which is considered unchanged, and enterprise fund liabilities decreased by $2.5 million
(5.6%) and is primarily due to principal payments exceeding net debt issued. Accounts
payable can vary drastically from year to year depending upon the timing of invoices
received and/or the projects being undertaken.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Bangor’s basic
financial statements. These statements consist of three components: government-wide
financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the financial statements. This
report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements
present the financial picture of the City from the point of view of economic resources
measurement and using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to that used by
private-sector companies. These statements present governmental activities and business type
activities separately.
The statement of net assets includes all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
II-4
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that are
accrued but not yet paid or collected but will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused employee vacation leaves).
These statements are divided into two categories: governmental activities and business-type
activities.
Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as the
general government, public safety, public works, health and welfare, education, and parks
and recreation. These activities are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues.
Business-type activities – Currently, the City operates the following business-type activities:
Bangor International Airport, Sewer Utility, the Bass Park Complex, Parking, Golf Course,
Economic Development, and the Park Woods Complex.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages II-17 to II-18 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City
of Bangor, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City
can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds.
Governmental funds are used to account for mostly the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements are reported
using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting that measures cash and all
other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. Both the governmental fund
balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate a comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Bangor maintains ten individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement
of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Community
Development Block Grant, Arena fund, and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are
considered to be major funds. Data from the other six governmental funds are combined
into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements (Schedule B)
elsewhere in this report.
The City of Bangor adopts an annual budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this
budget (Schedule A-2).
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
II-5
the only type of proprietary funds maintained by the City. The proprietary fund statements
provide the same type of information as the government-wide statements, only in more
detail.
The City maintains seven individual proprietary funds, of which the Sewer Utility, Airport and
Economic Development Funds are considered to be major. Data from four other proprietary
funds is combined into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of
these non-major proprietary funds is provided in the form of combining statements
(Schedule C) elsewhere in this report.
The City of Bangor adopts annual budgets for all of its proprietary funds. Budgetary
comparison statements have been provided for each proprietary fund to demonstrate
compliance with budgets (Schedule C4 – C10).
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
City. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because
the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The
accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The
Fiduciary Statement of Net Assets is included in this report as Exhibit 10.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is
essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial
statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages II-29 through II-54 of
this report.

By far the largest portion of the City’s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets (i.e.,
land, buildings, machinery and equipment) less any related outstanding debt used to acquire
those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens. Consequently,
these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be
used to satisfy these liabilities. Restricted net assets are those resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used; such as donor, legal or granting agency
restrictions. While the remaining balance of unrestricted net assets has a total deficit of
approximately $2.7 million, the governmental activity portion is significantly higher with a deficit
of $16.3 million. This is primarily due to $24.4 million in outstanding pension obligation bonds
as well as the impacts of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements.
GASB 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other
Than Pensions (OPEB) had a significant impact on both the governmental and business-type
activities. In the end, the City is able to report positive balances in the remaining two
categories of net assets for the government as a whole, and business-type activities net assets
continue to remain positive in all categories.
Governmental-type net assets increased $3.0 million. The major components associated with
the increase in governmental-type net assets is the receipt of $2.4 million of arena fund
revenues that result from the racino operation, and a $1.3 million increase in outstanding
general obligation bonds and leases. The increase in bonded debt was used to fund the annual
on-going reinvestment of governmental assets and does not include single significant
acquisition. The aforementioned increases in net assets are offset by an $800 thousand
increase to the City’s OPEB liability recorded in accordance with GASB 45.
Business-type net assets increased $2.0 million. Although business-type operating revenues
remained relatively unchanged from the prior year, there was a significant increase in net
assets due largely to the increase in capital grants and contributions within the Parking Fund,
related to the construction of a parking deck, and the Bass Park Fund for improvements made
to the harness racing facility by the leaseholder. Total business-type expenses increased $600
thousand, which is wholly attributable to an increase in equipment purchases by the Airport that
did not meet the threshold for capitalization. This increased expense partially offsets the
increase in net assets due to increase capital grants and contributions. All other operating
expenses remained relatively flat in total.

Governmental Activities
The cost of all governmental activities was $116.9 million. As shown on the Statement of
Activities, the total amount financed by the property tax was $48.2 million, or 41.2% 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 $35.7 million. Capital grants and contributions accounted for
$6.6 million. The City also received $11.0 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 decreased $3.5 million over the prior year. No
additional programs were funded by the City in the current year, nor were any eliminated.
FY2009 activities include two significant one-time governmental activities expenses; costs
related to school department energy conversation measures ($7.1 million), and the recognition
of a pollution remediation obligation liability ($7.6 million) related to a coal tar deposit in the
Penobscot River. The results for FY2010 include nearly $5.2 million of expenses related to
activities funded by the American Recovery Reinvestment Act and other new federal grants
funds such as; supplementing education based equipment, tuition, services and supplies, a
neighborhood stabilization program, nonpoint source pollution improvements, public safety
training and equipment, sidewalk improvements and four new police officers. Public building
and services includes a significant increase in costs ($2 million) due to the maintenance and
reconstruction of downtown parking structures. For FY2010, the City employees received a
3% of cost of living adjustment and health insurance costs continued to increase at a much
slower rate than they had historical (6.64% increase effective January 1, 2010).

Total governmental activities revenues increased $7.2 million, or 6.4%. The largest single
source of revenue continues to be the property tax, which increased $1.2 million due to a
modest increase in assessed value of 1.6%, which was attributable to new
development/improvements within the City during the prior fiscal year. The remaining increase
in governmental activities is directly related to nearly $5.2 million of activities funded by the
American Recovery Reinvestment Act and other new federal grants funds such as;
supplementing education based equipment, tuition, services and supplies, a neighborhood
stabilization program, nonpoint source pollution improvements, public safety training and
equipment, sidewalk improvements and four new police officers.
Business-type Activities
Total business-type activities expenses were relatively unchanged compared to prior year levels,
with an increase 1.9%, or $600 thousand. For FY2010, the City employees of business-type
activities also received a 3% of cost of living adjustment and were subject to the much slower
rate of increase in health insurance costs than they had historical (6.64% increase effective
January 1, 2010).

In total, business-type activities revenue increased significantly or 14.7% ($4.3 million), which
is wholly attributable to an increase in capital grants and contributions. The increase in capital
grants and contributions is due to downtown tax increment financing funds received for the
construction of a parking deck within the Parking Fund and the capital contributions made by
the leaseholder for harness racing improvements at the Bass Park facility.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds reporting is to provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such
information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the net resources available for spending at the
end of the fiscal year.
At fiscal year end, the City of Bangor’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $27.7 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from the prior year balance of $31.5
million. Of that decrease $3.7 million, is a decrease in restricted Penobscot River funds, as the
coal tar remediation work was undertaken in this fiscal year. Of the ending balance of $27.7
million, approximately 79% of this total ($21.8 million) constitutes unreserved fund balance that
is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder is reserved, indicating that it is
not available for new spending because it has already been committed for various purposes
including liquidating prior period contracts and purchase orders ($3.5 million), reserving for
potential non-repayment of interfund balances ($1.7 million), or set aside for a variety of other
restricted purposes ($660 thousand).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City and is comprised of two major
functions, education and municipal services. At the end of the fiscal year, the total unreserved
fund balance of the general fund was $13.2 million ($4.7 million of which has been designated
by management for subsequent years’ expenditures). The general fund’s total fund balance
was $15.9 million, a slight increase from the prior year’s balance of $15.5 million. Designated
fund balances increased $500 thousand, the majority of which is due to an increase in School
Department balances carried. The City’s undesignated fund balance decreased $240 thousand.
During the year, the Council appropriated $140 thousand from undesignated fund balance to
fund costs associated with the City Manager’s retirement and the cost to undertake an
executive search and recruitment process for a replacement. The remaining decrease in
undesignated fund balance represents the FY2010 revenue shortfalls that could not be fully
recovered through reducing expenditures. The most significant revenue shortfall ($570
thousand) being the mid-year reduction in the revenue sharing pool made at the State level.
The Arena Fund continues to outperform the City’s initial projections by approximately 10% per
year. As stated previously, these funds have been set aside by the City Council to finance the
replacement of the current Bangor Auditorium. In early 2010, the City Council reviewed the
recently completed Market Feasibility and Facility Sizing report as well as a report of
recommendations of the Special Committee on Arena Implementation, a citizen committee
appointed by the Council. Based upon this review, in May 2010, the Council authorized the
execution of an architectural contract to schematic design level as well as contract with a pre-
construction manager to develop a guaranteed maximum price for the design.
The Capital projects fund varies significantly from year to year depending upon City Council
priorities and available funding opportunities. Total expenditures increased $15.0 million over
the prior year. Of that increase, $10.4 million is related to the refunding of capital project
related debt. This refunding did not extend the term of the debt and results in cumulative
interest cost savings of $1.8 million over the remaining life of the bonds. In addition, the City
neared completion of the coal tar remediation project in the Penobscot River ($7.6 million).
II-12
Proprietary funds. Information on the City of Bangor’s proprietary funds is similar to that
found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The unrestricted net
assets of the seven enterprise funds increased $2 million to a total of $173 million. Both
operating revenues and expenses remained relatively flat. The increase in net assets is related
to the increase in capital grants and contributions within the Parking Fund, related to the
construction of a parking deck, and the Bass Park Fund for improvements made to the harness
racing facility by the leaseholder.
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
$3.4 million. There were minimal additional amendments to the originally adopted budget. The
City’s commitment to budgetary integrity continues, with actual revenues trailing budgeted
amounts by less than .5%, or $400 thousand, while municipal expenditures were under budget
by 5.7%, or $5.5 million. The majority of under expenditure is related to education, which were
$4.6 million or 8.8% under budget. By statute, education balances must be segregated from
municipal balances. The remaining expenditure variance is directly related to lower actual fuel
costs than originally anticipated.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. As of June 30, 2010, the City of Bangor’s investment in capital assets for its
governmental and business-type activities amounted to $261.7 million (net of accumulated
depreciation), a decrease of $300 thousand over the prior year. This investment includes land,
buildings, machinery and equipment, roads, runways, and sewer lines. The total decrease in
the City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was minimal when netted
against current year depreciation expense. Governmental activities investment increased $2.3
million, and business-type activities invested $10.6 million.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following;
With funding from the City’s Downtown Development District TIF, the City replaced its aging
Columbia Street Parking Deck. This facility is centrally located to the core downtown and
has the highest demand for use at a cost of $1.8 million.
Based on the availability of developer funds and traffic impact fees, the City was able to
complete a reconfiguration of traffic in the mall area, to provide enhanced and safer access
in a high traffic area at a cost of $700 thousand.
The City continues to garner Federal, State and local funding (provided via the Downtown
Development District TIF) for investment in its waterfront. This year the City invested an
additional $1.2 million on our waterfront. The project includes additional utilities, park and
open space, as well as surface parking.
Leaseholder improvements to the harness racing facilities at Bass Park, which included the
removal of aging structures and the construction a new paddock and barn, were received in
the amount of $3.6 million.
The Airport Fund invested $7.1 million in operational assets at Bangor International Airport
including apron improvements, energy conservation projects, replacement of aircraft
servicing equipment, and the acquisition of aircraft fueling equipment from a third party
provider, whose operations were taken over by Airport personnel.

Debt Administration
At fiscal year end, the City had a total outstanding bonded debt of $96.6 million, an increase of
$2.3 million during the year.
The City’s general obligation debt obtained a “AA” rating from Standard & Poor’s and a “A1”
rating from Moody’s.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to
15% of its total State assessed valuation. The current debt limit for the City is $365.4 million,
an amount which is significantly in excess of existing general obligation debt.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note I on pages II-42 to II-
45 of this report.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009
Through existing entitlement programs and competitive award processes, the City was awarded
$8.3 million in ARRA funding. Major areas of funding are as follows;
Through a competitive grant application process, the City successful obtained the maximum
award of $3 million from the Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water State Revolving
Loan Fund (the award is in the form of a 0% loan with 50.6% of the principal forgiven).
The funds are being used for a variety of non point source stormwater improvements on
both publicly and privately owned property. As of December 2010, 97% of the funds have
been expended and the City is within the expenditure guidelines established by the EPA.
In 2010, the School Department was awarded $2.2 million in support of three programmatic
areas: stabilization funds ($800 thousand), Title I ($800 thousand), and IDEA ($500
thousand). Nearly $1.7 million of these funds were expended during FY2010. Budget
stabilization funding was used to increase the number of laptops in the classroom and for
necessary capital improvements. Title I funds were used in schools determined to be “free
and reduced” to enhance student knowledge in math and reading. IDEA funds were used
to supplement the general budget for such items as tuition, contracted services and
supplies. In FY2011, the School Department was awarded an additional $1.9 million to
support similar programs as noted in FY2010.
The City was awarded $900 thousand in Department of Justice funding, the largest portion
($700 thousand) of which is funding the cost of four additional police officers for a three
year period.
As a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement community, the City of
Bangor was awarded an additional $300 thousand in funding. The funds will be used to
supplement $200 thousand in Energy Efficiency Block Grant and local funds to convert
downtown streetlights to LED fixtures and to fund sidewalk improvement in low to moderate
income neighborhoods. As of December 2010, the LED streetlight conversion is complete
and 88% of the sidewalk funding has been expended.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
The unemployment rate for the City of Bangor for calendar year 2009 was 7.6%, which is
on par with the State’s rate of 8.0%.
While Bangor represents less than 3% of the state’s population, the City’s share of retail
sales remains in excess of 9% of total statewide sales and 71% of Penobscot County sales.
The increase in residential construction that began in 2002 has continued, albeit at a slower
pace, and without a need for the City to significantly improve infrastructure to accommodate
this growth.
Bangor has experienced a slowing in the rate of appreciation of existing homes. We project
that existing home values will remain flat or decrease slightly in the coming year compared
to the 5% to 7% range experienced in recent years.
In November 2005, Penn National Gaming opened a “racino” (slot machine operation) at an
interim location in the City. A permanent gaming facility was completed in the summer of 2008,
which includes a 1,500 car parking garage, a 152 room seven story hotel, and approximately
110,000 square feet for gaming, at a cost of approximately $131 million.
II-15
The Council has adopted a policy directing all rents and state taxes received from the operation
of the slot facility to a separate special revenue fund, the Arena Fund. The primary purpose of
this fund is to provide the necessary resources to construct a new arena to replace the Bangor
Auditorium which opened in Bass Park in 1954. As noted above (financial analysis – Arena
Fund) the City Council has received a schematic design and pricing for the replacement of the
current auditorium and civic center. At this time, the City Council is reviewing the overall scope
of the project and is expected to make a final decision in early 2011. The Council’s budgetary
goal is approximately $65 million. Between the revenue received by the City from the gaming
operation coupled with a portion of the existing Downtown Development TIF current
conservative projections estimate that the City could support this level of investment.
The City is subject to a state statutory system (known as LD 1). Generally, the growth of the
tax levy is limited to an increase equal to the ten year average percentage change in real
statewide personal income plus taxes from property value resulting from new construction,
major renovations to existing properties, or the subdivision of property less any “net new state
funding”. For Fiscal Year 2010, the City’s LD 1 tax levy limit was as follows:
Prior Year Base Municipal Commitment $ 20,967,582
Growth Factor: 7.57%
Average Real Personal Income 2.28%
Property Growth Factor 5.29%
Net New State Funds -
Municipal Commitment Limit $ 22,554,913
The Fiscal Year 2011 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. This model establishes a
schedule designed to increase the State’s share of total Essential Programs and Services costs
to 55% over a four year period. 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 2010 and 2011 in order to fund such services and programs
and their actions were approved, as required by State Statute 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. To date, the City has seen 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 slowed.
In November, the Governor’s office announced that the Maine Revenue Forecasting
Committee’s has projected an increase in State revenues in both current and future State
II-16
budgets and that the State unemployment rate continues to decline through October. The
Maine State Legislative session begins in January 2011, it remains unseen as to whether or not
there will be a need to address some form of current year budget shortfall, but the larger
challenge will likely be the adoption of the 2012-13 biennium budget. Maine, like the nation
experienced wide scale changes in the makeup of its leadership. As the Governor elect and the
newly elected State legislators prepare to take office in January 2011, management will closely
observe the activities of the Maine State Legislative session to identify and monitor proposed
actions that may have financial and operational impact on the City. The one known negative
impact for the upcoming biennium will be a potential reduction in State Aid to Education. For
the last two years, the State has supplemented its appropriation for State Aid to Education with
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, which will no longer be available. The FY
2012 budget is likely to be a challenge to both the School Committee and the City Council.
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 2011 budget reflects the City’s historical
results for these revenue sources, and actual results appear to be on track with budgetary
estimates.
As for expenditures, we continue to enjoy historically lower benefit utilization rates in our health
insurance program, enabling us to hold insurance rates flat for an additional six months.
Health insurance rates will increase in July 2011, by 7.34%, which is well within our historical
average annual cost increases of 10%. The recently completed energy conservations projects
allowed the City to avoid $196 thousand of annual utility costs. As the useful life of these
improvements is between ten to twenty years, this form of cost avoidance will continue to
benefit the City for many years to come. Actual results year to date expenditures are in line
with budgetary estimates.
For the Fiscal Year 2011 budget, the City Council’s goal was to minimize any tax rate increase.
This goal was made more challenging due to an approximately 25% reduction in commercial
real estate value. In order, to mitigate the impact on the City’s residential taxpayers, the City
Council reduced the captured assessed value percentage of the City’s Downtown Development
District TIF from 100% to 75% for one year. In addition, the City eliminated seven and one
half vacant and approved some small increases in user fees.
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.

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, 2010
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (from Exhibit 4) (3,732,910)$
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 depreciation expense of $3,729,052 and
disposals of $19,199 exceeded capital outlays of $2,474,119. (1,274,132)
Financing proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental
funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement
of net assets. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities
in the statement of net assets. This is the amount by which financing
proceeds of $12,696,640 in general obligation bonds were less than
principal payments of $13,981,065. 1,284,425
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 in accrued interest ($93,843), net OPEB obligation ($759,529),
compensated absences ($158,469), self insurance liability ($62,153), deferred
taxes $243,625 and decrease in Penobscot River remediation $7,560,000. 6,729,631
Change in net assets of governmental activities (see Exhibit 2) 3,007,014$

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Bangor was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine in 1834 and operates under
a council/manager form of government. In evaluating how to define the reporting entity, for financial
reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The criteria used to
determine which entities, agencies, commissions, boards and authorities are part of the City’s
operations include how the budget is adopted, whether debt is secured by general obligation of the
City, the City’s duty to cover any deficits that may occur, and supervision over the accounting
functions. Based upon all pertinent facts derived from the analysis of the above criteria, it was
determined that no additional entities should be included as part of these financial statements.
The City of Bangor is a member of the Joint Venture of the Equity Charter Municipalities of Municipal
Review Committee, Inc (Joint Venture). The Joint Venture is an organization that resulted from a
contractual arrangement between certain member municipalities, Penobscot Energy Recovery Company
(PERC) and Bangor Hydro Electric Company. It was formed to pool resources of the Equity Charter
Municipalities for the long-term goal of handling the disposal of their present and projected volumes of
non-hazardous municipal solid waste. As of December 31, 2009 (most recent data available) the City
of Bangor’s share of the Joint Venture’s net assets was $6,158,980. Complete financial statements
may be obtained from Municipal Review Committee, 40 Harlow Street, Bangor, ME 04401.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the
effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function
or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable
with a specific function or segment. The City has elected not to allocate indirect costs among the
programs, functions and segments. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants
who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function
or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns
in the fund financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when the payment is due.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, interest, and charges for services. Other
receipts and taxes become measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are
recognized as revenue at that time.
Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to
accrual criteria are met. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying
expenditures have been incurred and all other grant requirements have been met.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Community Development Block Grant Fund accounts for federal grants obtained and expended
under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the development of
viable urban communities.
The Arena Fund accounts for the percentage of slot revenues received by the City from the
operation of the Racino. Said funds will be used to replace the Bangor Auditorium.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for the acquisition of capital assets or construction of major
capital projects not being financed by proprietary or fiduciary funds.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Sewer Utility fund accounts for the costs of construction and operation of the sewage
treatment plant, the City sewer system, and sewer operation activities, and is self-supported
through sewer user fees.
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Notes to the Financial Statements, Continued
II - 31
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
The Airport Fund accounts for the operation of Bangor International Airport. The principal
sources of revenues are landing fees and the sale of aviation fuel. Other revenue sources include
lease payments for the use of terminal space and non-aviation industrial buildings.
The Economic Development Fund accounts for the operation and development of properties
acquired by the City. Its purpose is to promote economic growth within the City. The principal
source of revenue is rental income.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf
of others. The City’s fiduciary funds include the following fund type:
Agency funds account for assets the City holds for others in an agency capacity. They are
custodial in nature and do not present results of operations of the City or have a
measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
The City serves as an agent for the American Folk Festival, Bangor Area Stormwater Group
and various School Activity funds.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the
extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance
for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to the same limitation. The City has
elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s public services function and
various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs
and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the City’s proprietary fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses include
the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues
and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
Cash includes amounts in demand deposits as well as short-term investments with a maturity date
within three months of the date acquired by the City.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U. S. Treasury, commercial paper,
corporate bonds and repurchase agreements. City policy prohibits the investment in so-called
“derivative instruments”.
Investments are reported at fair value. Income earned from the investment of pooled cash is allocated
to various funds based upon the average cash balance allocated to the fund.
2. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “interfund loans” (i.e., current portion of interfund loans)
or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances”.
Advances between funds are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental
funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available
financial resources.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption and are valued at cost. Under the
consumption method, the costs of inventory items are recognized as expenditures/expenses when
used. The consumption method does not require a reserve for inventory and the City has chosen not
to have such a reserve.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, sewer mains and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 for machinery/equipment/vehicles, $25,000 for
land/buildings and improvements and $100,000 for infrastructure and an estimated useful life in excess of
one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal repairs and maintenance that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of
the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government is depreciated using the straight-line method
over the assets' estimated useful lives.
The range of useful lives used to compute depreciation are as follows:
Buildings 25 – 50 years
Equipment 5 – 20 years
Infrastructure 10 – 50 years
Aircraft Operational 5 – 40 years
Parking Structures 10 – 20 years
5. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vacation or compensatory time or vested sick leave of governmental funds that is
expected to be liquidated with expendable available resources is reported as an expenditure in
respective fund financial statements only if the liability has matured, for example, as a result of
employee resignations and retirements. All accumulated leave, including that which is not expected to
be liquidated with expendable available financial resources, is reported in the government-wide
financial statements. Accumulated leave of Enterprise Funds is recorded as an expense and liability of
the respective fund as the benefits accrue to employees. No liability is recorded for non-accumulating
rights to receive sick pay benefits.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
6. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs if material to basic financial statements, are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are
reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as
deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt is reported as other
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
7. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts
that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific
purpose. Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
8. Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts and Loans
Allowances for uncollectible accounts are maintained for all types of receivables, which historically
experience uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible loans are established when the City
determines its ability to collect the outstanding loan balance has been impaired.
9. Use of Estimates
Preparation of the City’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
items at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses/expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Budgets are prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting, with the exception of depreciation
within the enterprise funds. Budgets for the General Fund and enterprise funds are formally adopted
each year through the passage of an appropriation resolve. Budgets for special revenue and capital
projects funds have adopted project-length budgets. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at fiscal year
end.

STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY, CONTINUED
Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (i.e., purchase orders,
contracts, and other commitments) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund
balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments have not 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 30
th, 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, only one of which was
material. The Council appropriated $140,000 from the General Fund’s undesignated fund balance to
fund costs associated with the City Manger’s retirement and the cost to conduct an executive search
and recruitment for a replacement.

Assessing $959, Health and Community Services $172,081, Parks and Recreation $41,852, and Debt
Service $66,733. These over-expenditures were funded by receipt of revenues in excess of
appropriation and under-expenditures within other General Fund departments.
The Municipal Golf Course was over-expended by $57,139, due to part time employee wages and
transfers to the General Fund. The Parking Fund and the Bass Park Fund were over-expended by
$8,728 and $30,955 respectively, which is attributable to depreciation expense.
D. Deficit Fund Equity
The Grant Fund has a deficit fund equity of $69,988 which is expected to be funded in subsequent

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 2010.

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 in addition to the $250,000
provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of June 30, 2010, $0 of the City’s
bank balance of $20,053,236 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and
uncollateralized.
At June 30, 2010, the City had the following investments and maturies:

Totals $ 20,994,268 $ 5,994,823 $ 2,549,887 $ 10,714,710 $ 1,734,848
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, 2010, 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.
CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE

Securities will be held by a third party custodian, or Trust Department, designated by the Treasurer
and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s Investment Policy states that the City will diversify its investments by security type and
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 8, 2009, on the assessed value listed as of the
prior April 1 for all real and personal property located in the City. Assessed values are periodically
established by the City's Assessor at 100% of assumed market value. Taxes were due in two
installments: September 15, 2009 and March 15, 2010. Interest was charged at 9.00% 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
revenues. Tax liens are placed on real property within twelve months following the tax commitment
date if taxes are delinquent. The City has the authority to foreclose on property eighteen months after
the filing of the lien if the tax liens and associated costs remain unpaid.

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, 2010, the statutory limit for the City was
$365,400,000. The City’s outstanding long-term debt of $96,645,995 at June 30, 2010 was within the
statutory limit.
Advance and Current Refunding
In prior years, the City defeased certain general obligation bonds which reduced total future debt
service payments in governmental and business-type funds by $408,000 and $302,000, respectively.
This transaction placed the proceeds of the new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future
debt service payments on the old bonds. The trust account assets and the liability for the defeased
bonds are not included in the City’s financial statements. At June 30, 2010, $27,500 and $392,500 of
the governmental and business-type activities, respectively, are considered defeased. Within the
Proprietary Funds the advance refunding transaction gave rise to a deferred amount on refunding. The
deferred amount on refunding is being amortized over the remaining life of the original bonds.
Authorized and Unissued
On August 27, 2007, the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $100,000 in general obligation
bonds for the purpose of funding the City’s share of State of Maine road projects. As of June 30, 2010,
$50,000 remains authorized and unissued. The City expects to issue the debt within the next fiscal
year.
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, 2010, $155,000 remains authorized and unissued. The City expects to issue
the debt within the next twenty four months.

Overlapping Debt
In addition to the bonds and notes payable, the City may be contingently responsible for a
proportionate share of overlapping debt. Overlapping debt is debt issued by a separate entity that
shares the same tax base as the City of Bangor. As of June 30, 2010 the City did not have any
overlapping debt obligations.
Lease/Purchase Agreement
The City has entered into a lease purchase agreement as lessee for financing school department
energy conservation measures in the amount of $7,091,928. The conservation measures included
building envelope improvements, boiler retrofits, HVAC improvements, etc. None of the improvements
met the criteria for capitalization and have been expensed in the current year. During fiscal year 2010,
this agreement was paid in full through the issuance of general obligation bonds.

net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the
outstanding balance of bonds and capital leases payable and adding back any unspent proceeds. Net
assets are reported as restricted when there are limitation imposed on their use either through the
enabling legislations adopted by the City of through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors
or laws or regulations of other governments. The City’s net assets invested in capital assets, net of
related debt was calculated as follows at June 30, 2010:

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, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

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, 2010, the amount of self-insurance liabilities was
$1,979,642. This liability is the City’s best estimate based on available information. Changes in the
reported liabilities since July 1, 2008 resulted from the following:

C. Contingent Liabilities
In February 1998, the City was served Notification of Potential Liability by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with that agency’s efforts to clean up a disposal site. In 2007,
LD 1929 was passed to establish a program to fund the cleanup costs at this site for certain parties,
including municipalities. As such there should be no further costs to the City. A Consent Decree has
been negotiated with the EPA and provides the terms for the final remedy of the site, part of which
provides that the program, established under LD 1929, will sell bonds with the proceeds being used to
pay future costs. Additional funds from the sale of bonds in excess of the final settlement costs will be
available to the PRPs for payment of past costs.
In 2002, the City filed suit against Citizens Communication Company (Citizens), a potentially
responsible party to force cleanup of contamination of the Penobscot River bottom due to the inability
to reach settlement. In September of 2005, the U.S. District Court issued an Order finding that the
City is responsible for 40% of the remediation costs. In July 2007, the City reached a settlement
agreement with Citizens, whereby the City received $7.625 million to be held in escrow and applied to
the cost of remediation. A Consent Decree has been negotiated with the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) for the remediation which is expected to be completed by December 2009. At this
time, the remediation project cost has been completed. The City continues to work with State and
Federal agencies to ensure the long term success of the work undertaken.
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 2010 covered payroll was $13,444,409 and City
contributions were $1,128,127. 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

OTHER INFORMATION, CONTINUED
contributions for those employees with employment contracts were $540,771 and $64,829
respectively, in fiscal year 2010.
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 2.80% to
6.50% of annual covered payroll. The contribution rates of plan members and the City are established
and may be amended by the Maine 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, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $447,626, $677,652, and $703,675 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 $4,248,963 (17.78%) for fiscal year 2010. 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 17.78% of their compensation. This cost is
charged to the applicable grant.

Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue (IRC) Section 457. The plan permits participating employees to defer a portion of their salary
until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
Social Security
The City does not have a section 218 agreement to provide full social security coverage to its
employees. The City does provide full social security coverage to part-time, seasonal and temporary
employees under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, and Internal Revenue Service
regulations, which became effective July 1, 1991.
E. Other Postemployment Benefits
In June of 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 45 which
addressed the reporting and disclosure requirements for other postemployment benefits (OPEB). 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 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:
Normal cost $ 493,875
Amortization of unfunded liability 622,717
Interest 22,113
Annual required contribution $1,138,705

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 year ending June 30, 2010 were as

Net OPEB obligation, June 30, 2009 $ 1,002,046
Annual OPEB cost 1,138,705

Net OPEB obligation, June 30, 2010 $ 2,004,092
City contributions as a percentage of annual required contribution (ARC): 12.00%
The unfunded actuarial accrued liability as a percentage of covered payroll for June 30, 2010 is as
follows:
Governmental Business-type Total
Activities Activities June 30, 2010
Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 8,488,427 $ 2,710,336 $ 11,198,763

Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) $ 8,488,427 $ 2,710,336 $ 11,198,763
Covered payroll $ 17,224,485 $ 5,439,647 $ 22,664,132
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 49.41%
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 two 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 7/1/08
Actuarial cost method Entry age actuarial cost method
Amortization method Level dollar
Remaining amortization period 29 years - closed
Actuarial assumptions:
Investment rate of return 4.0%
Participation 62.5% of eligible employees
Healthcare cost trend rate 7.5% - 5.2%

F. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs
Closure of the City’s Kittredge Road landfill was completed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
Potential postclosure costs have been deemed immaterial, and therefore no liability for these amounts
has been accrued. All necessary postclosure costs will be funded from the annual operating budget.
G. Subsequent Events
On August 23, 2010 the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $1,636,000 in general obligations
bonds for the purpose of funding the City’s annual fleet replacement, local share of State of Maine road
projects, salt dome roof replacement and replacement of the HVAC at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
operations building.
On November 22, 2010, the City Council authorized the issuance of up to $4,710,000 in general
obligation bonds to refund outstanding general obligation bonds on a current basis. The final maturity
dates of the refunded general obligation bonds will remain unchanged. This refunding is expected to
result approximately $700,000 in cumulative interest cost savings over the next ten years.
The City Charter requires maintaining the City’s undesignated/unreserved fund balance at between 5%
and 10% of the previous year’s expenditures, net of debt service. As policy, the City has targeted
7.5% as a reasonable balance. At June 30, 2010, this balance exceeded the City policy of 7.5% by
$2,118,018.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises. The intent of the government is to have
the costs of providing goods or services to the general public financed or recovered
primarily through user charges. The government has decided that periodic
determination of net income is appropriate for accountability purposes.
In addition to the major funds reported in Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
Note C the City has the following nonmajor enterprise funds:
Park Woods – This fund accounts for the rental of 60 units of surplus housing received
from the federal government pursuant to the McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. The
principal source of revenue is rental income.
Parking Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the City-owned parking lots and
the Pickering Square garage. Revenue sources include monthly lease payments for
parking spaces, hourly/daily parking fees, and fines and waiver fees for parking
violations. Certain of these facilities are operated under a private management contract.
Bass Park Fund – This fund accounts for the operation of the Bangor auditorium, Bangor
Civic Center, and Bangor State Fair. Principal sources of revenue are admissions,
concession sales, and rentals. The fund is named after the Bass family, which
bequeathed the property to the City for recreational purposes.
Municipal Golf Course – This fund accounts for the operation of a 27 hole municipal golf
course. Principal revenue sources are season memberships and daily green fees.
