However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the 608,517 amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period. The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets 91,173 (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to increase net assets. Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current 28 286 financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies with generally The financial statements of the City of Eagle a been aentallnunits.forTne Governmental accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant City accounting policies are described below. A. Reporting Entity The City of Eagle is an incorporated city of the State of Idaho. The City operates under a Mayor- Council form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety (police), culture - recreation, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. The accompanying financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The component unit column in the government-wide statements is the financial data of the Eagle Urban Renewal Agency. Eagle Urban Renewal Agency is a separate and distinct legal entity created by state statute. The directors are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. Eagle Urban Renewal Agency provides urban development services for the citizens of the city. Complete financial statements can be obtained from the City of Eagle. B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of City of Eagle. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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 instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. —12-- C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. 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 of the they are collectible within the current period or soon to be aafaeablepay t ely alrlel collected current period. For this purpose, the City considers ers 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 expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, interest susceptible to accaual and so havecbeedn intergovernmentl revenues with the current fiscal period are all consid ered to be recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments as receivable due within the current fiscal eved items dconsideredsto be (measurable accrual and revenue of the current period. All other revenue available only when cash is received by the City. The City reports the following major governmental funds: The general fund is the City's primary operating fund.accounted or for n alnother fundesources of the general government, except those required The library fund accounts for the resources accumulated for the operation of the library. The City reports the following major proprietary fund: The water fund accounts for the activities of the City's water distribution operations. 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 this same limitation. The City has elected 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 payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the City's water function and various other functions of the City. 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. items. Proprietary funds distinguish operating expenses dings services and produging and Operating revenues and expenses generally esult from pro delivering goods in connection with a proprietary se fundds are charges l tongustomeroperations. s for sales principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise es, and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds ds include the cost u f sale expensesicnot administrative expenses and depreciation of capital this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are as they are needed. use, e its the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources D.

Prepaid Expenses Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid expenses in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 4. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, 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 $300 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. 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 maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset 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, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Buildings 20-40 Improvements other than buildings 10-40 Equipment 5-35 5. Compensated Absences It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused annual leave. Annual leave is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. 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, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest 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 issued 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. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Reserves have been established for the amount of the loan that is not available to be appropriated for expenditures, prepaid expenses, tree fund and debt service. -15-- 8. Net Assets The government-wide statement of net assets reports $303,206 of restricted net assets, of which $36,714 is restricted by enabling legislation. II. Reconciliation of Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance — total governmental funds and net assets — governmental activities as reported in the government- wide statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains that "long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds." The details of this $4,449,052 difference are as follows: Bonds payable $ (1,880,350) Deferred charges 35,250 Leases payable (2,482,822) Accrued interest payable (27,286) Compensated absences (93,844) Net adjustment to reduce fund balance—total governmental funds to arrive at net assets — governmental activities $ (4,449.052) B. Explanation of Certain Difference Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-wide Statement of Activities The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that "Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense." The details of this $608,517 difference are as follows: Capital outlay $ 1,187,260 Depreciation expense (578,743) Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances—total governmental fund to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 608,517 Another element of that reconciliation states that "The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to increase net assets." The details of this $91,173 difference are as follows: In the statement of activities, only the loss on the retirement of capital assets is reported. However, in the governmental funds, the proceeds from -16- the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the assets retired. $ (14,105) Donations of capital assets increase net assets in the statement of activities, but do not appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources. 105,278 Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances—total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 91.173 Another element of that reconciliation states that"the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities." The details of the $154,995 difference are as follows: Debt issued or incurred: Issuance of general obligation refunding bonds $ (2,043,783) Principal repayments: Bond paid with refunding proceeds 1,975,000 General obligation bond 155,000 Capital leases 30,566 Payment to escrow agent for refunding 38,212 Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances —total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets of governmental activities $ 154.995 Another element of that reconciliation states that "Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds."

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; and natural disasters for which the City carries commercial insurance. B. Defined Benefit Pension Plan Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho - The Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI), a cost-sharing multiple-employer public retirement system, was created by the Idaho State Legislature. It is a defined benefit plan requiring that both the member and the employer contribute. The plan provides benefits based on members' years of service, age and compensation. In addition, benefits are provided for disability, death, and survivors of eligible members or beneficiaries. The authority to establish and amend benefit provisions is established in Idaho Code. Designed as a mandatory system for eligible state and school district employees, the legislation provided for other political subdivisions to participate by contractual agreement with PERSI. Financial reports for the plan are available from PERSI upon request. After 5 years of credited service, members become fully vested in retirement benefits earned to date. Members are eligible for retirement benefits upon attainment of the ages specified for their employment classification. For each month of credited service, the annual service retirement allowance is 2.0% (2.3% police/firefighter) of the average monthly salary for the highest consecutive 42 months. The contribution requirements of the City of Eagle and its employees are established and may be amended by the PERSI Board of Trustees. At September 30, 2007, the required contribution rate for general employees was 10.39% and 6.23% of covered payroll for the City of Eagle and its employees, respectively. The City of Eagle's contributions required and paid were $151,643; $114,383; and $90,122 for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively. C. Contingencies The City is currently involved in several cases. Although the outcome of these proceedings is not presently determinable, in the opinion of management the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City. Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the city expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. D.

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. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered City of Eagle's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Eagle's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Eagle's internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects City of Eagle's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of City of Eagle's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by City of Eagle's internal control. We consider the deficiencies described below to be significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. 1-As is common for small governmental units in Idaho, the accounting staff of City of Eagle do not possess the knowledge and skills to prepare the annual financial statements in accordance with governmental accounting principles nor do they have the expertise to prepare the year-end accrual and closing entries. -33- MEMBER OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS IDAHO SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 2-Due to its relatively small size, City of Eagle has inadequate segregation of duties. Based on the size of City of Eagle, management believes the cost of correcting the first two items listed above will exceed the benefits to be derived from doing so. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by City of Eagle's internal control. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, of the significant deficiencies described above, we consider both items to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to management of City of Eagle in a separate letter dated November 3, 2008. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Eagle's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management and any applicable governmental agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. GIBBONS, SCOTT & DEAN LLP Certified Public Accountants November 3, 2008 -34- Gibbons, Scott & Dean T,T, ' Certified Public Accountants NOV Professional Building r Terry L.Scott,CPA 1803 Ellis Avenue '1� (20$)459-4649 John P.Dean,CPA Caldwell,Idaho 83605 Rot o; X208)454-9091 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Eagle Eagle, Idaho As the result of our audit of the accounting records of City of Eagle for the year ended September 30, 2007, we submit the following comments. As reported in the audited financial statements in the Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards, there are two significant internal control deficiencies. Of these, we consider both to be material weaknesses: 1-As is common for small governmental units in Idaho, the accounting staff of City of Eagle do not possess the knowledge and skills to prepare the annual financial statements in accordance with governmental accounting principles nor do they have the expertise to prepare the year-end accrual and closing entries. 2-Due to its relatively small size, City of Eagle has inadequate segregation of duties. In addition to the above significant deficiencies, we noted the following matters involving the internal control and its operation that are not considered significant deficiencies. During our examination of payroll transactions, there were two employees where the federal and state withholding was not in agreement with the marital status on the W-4. The deputy clerk was aware of this problem. They will be having all employees complete a new W-4. It appears that you are complying with the Idaho Code as it relates to the budgeting process and you are maintaining your accounting records in compliance with the uniform system of accounting in all material respects. We again wish to compliment your Clerk for the manner in which the records are being maintained. The following represents a schedule of working capital available as of September 30, 2007 and 2006. Working capital is described as current assets minus current liabilities and generally equates to unreserved, undesignated fund balance. Also included below is the percent of working capital to total expenditures. September 30, 2007 September 30, 2006 Working Percent to Working Percent to Fund Capital Expenditures Capital Expenditures General $ 2,461,170 39.0% $ 3,064,067 49.5% Library 217,124 21.9% 293,346 34.9% —1— MEMBER OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS IDAHO SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS We generally recommend working capital at September 30 should be between at least 25 to 30% of expenditures to maintain a positive cash flow position. Working capital ranges from fair to good. The large drop in the percent to expenditures in the general fund is mainly due to revenues decreasing ($60,462) and expenditures increasing ($116,551). The main areas where revenues decreased were in building inspection ($213,802), annexation/reviews ($293,343), impact fees ($327,999) and interest income ($18,126). These decreases were offset by increases in grants ($111,560), other government payments ($316,730) and taxes ($368,365). Expenditures increased mainly in the areas of personal services ($403,896), lease payments ($120,297), law enforcement ($147,861), engineering/legal- developer charge ($124,940), art commission projects ($24,345), downtown study ($20,019), healing fields display ($23,607) and parks ($66,955). These increases were offset by decreases in capital outlay ($709,121) and transmission line payments ($196,291). The following is a condensed comparative statement of revenues and expenses for the water fund: Variance- September 30, Favorable 2007 2006 (Unfavorable) Operating revenues $ 372,412 $ 367,520 $ 4,892 Operating expenses: Personal services 29,778 (29,778) Utilities 412 (412) Other expenses 534,172 415,654 (118,518) Depreciation 21,116 17,810 (3,306) Total 585,478 433,464 (152,014) Operating loss (213,066) (65,944) (147,122) Nonoperating revenues 80,896 5,590 75,306 Net income (loss) $(132.170) $ (60.354) $ (71,816) As you will note the net loss increased $71,816 over the prior year. Operating revenues increased due to higher collections from United Water. Operating expenses mainly increased in the area of personal services and engineering. While the customer revenue appears to be covering the operating expenses for the system (payment to United Water), it is not enough to also cover the additional expenses incurred by the city. It is important to monitor the activity on a monthly basis so that the city will be in a position to consider raising rates or decreasing expenses as needed. We wish to thank your staff for the assistance and cooperation extended to our staff during the course of the audit. We are pleased to have served you in an auditing capacity and hope that we can be of service to you in the future. If you have any questions concerning our comments, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss them with you. GIBBONS, SCOTT & DEAN LLP Certified Public Accountants November 3, 2008 -2-
