PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT Three hundred-year-old historic Mobile is the county seat of Mobile County and is located in the southwestern section of Alabama, at the head of Mobile Bay, thirty-one miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The city covers a land area of 179 square miles and is part of the second largest metropolitan area in Alabama. The latest figures from the 2000 census indicate the population of Mobile to be 198,915 and the Mobile Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) to be 540,258. The City of Mobile, Alabama (the City) was incorporated on January 20, 1814 under the provisions of Act 1911, No. 281, page 330; Code 1940. The City operates under a mayor-council form of government. The City engages in a comprehensive range of municipal services, including public safety, street and drainage, sanitation, health and social services, culture and recreation, public improvements, public transportation, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. This report includes all funds of the City. The City provides a full range of services. These services include police and fire protection; the construction and maintenance of highways, streets and infrastructure; and recreational activities and cultural events. The Mobile Public Library and the Public Parks and Recreation Board (Ladd - Peebles Stadium) have both met the established criteria to be included in the reporting entity as component units, and accordingly are included in the report. The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners of the City of Mobile, Mobile Housing Board, Mobile Airport Authority, Mobile Board of Health, Mobile Emergency Management, and Mobile Personnel Board are related entities but have not met the established criteria for inclusion in the reporting entity, and accordingly are excluded from this report. Additional information on all of these entities can be found in the notes to the financial statements (See Note 1). Policy making and legislative authority are vested in a seven member city council who are, among other things, responsible for passing local ordinances, adopting budgets, appointing committees and board members of related organizations, and approving the appointment of executive directors of the City. The Mayor is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, supervising the operation of the City and appointing executive directors. The Mayor and Council members are elected to four-year terms. All council members are elected from within their respective districts. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The Mayor is required to submit a budget proposal to the City Council for most of the City’s departments and funds by August 20 of each fiscal year. The Council, after public comment and evaluation, adopts the balanced budget by the beginning of the fiscal year each October. The City maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City’s governing body. Activities of the general fund are included in the annual appropriated budget. Project-length financial plans are adopted for the capital projects funds. The comparison between the project-length basis budget to actual expenditures for the year is not meaningful and, therefore, is not presented. The level of budgetary control is on the departmental level within an individual fund for legal and administrative control. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control. Unencumbered amounts lapse at year-end.
ii
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the City continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management. ECONOMIC CONDITION In a year of ups and downs in the national economy, there has been stability in the local economy. Austal Shipbuilding held a ground breaking for their $245M 700,000 sq ft Modular Manufacturing Facility. The value of the contracts exceeds $1.6B for this facility on the Riverfront. The Mobile Container Terminal at the Alabama Port Authority is nearing completion. The Mitchell Cancer Center opened its doors as a regional treatment facility expecting more than 25,000 patients during its first year. SSAB Alabama Inc (formerly IPSCO Steel) selected the area for a $460M expansion of their new state-of-the-art heat-treating facility. Mobile continues to have the fastest job growth in Alabama – having created more than 16,000 jobs over the last four years. Unemployment figures for 2008 rose but remained low in the local and state areas. The unemployment rate for the MSA was 5.5%; Alabama, 5.4% and the US was 6.2%. The median household income for the city was $36,619; for the state was $40,232 and for the US was $ 50,233. The number of houses sold fell from 5,440 in 2007 to 4,106 in 2008. In January 2008 Forbes Magazine named Mobile as one of America’s Fastest-Growing Metros. “Mobile is projected to have the greatest change in ‘gross metropolitan product (GMP),’ 34% between 2007-2012, according to research done for us…” The communities listed offer a promise of booming economies for years to come. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING In 2008, Moody’s Investor Service and Standard and Poor’s upgraded the City’s bond ratings to A1 and AA-. These upgrades reflected the city’s improved financial position, healthy reserves, a growing economic tax base and positive economic development trends. In addition to the new and expanding industry in and around the city, citizens in two areas west and southwest of Mobile voted to be annexed into the city, increasing anticipated tax revenues by $12 to $16 million in the 2008-2009 fiscal year. The Mobile Regional Airport also came into the city limits adding new tax revenue. With the new city limits came new Police Jurisdiction limits and more revenue sources. MAJOR INITIATIVES The City purchased the Alabama Cruise Terminal from Alabama Real Estate Holdings, Inc. by paying off the loan of $18,680, 918. The City will continue to operate the terminal which serves Carnival Cruise Line's ship Holiday through the management team of Point Clear Holdings but will receive all the income from the venture rather than a share of the revenues. SSAB Alabama Inc. announced the building of a $460M expansion for its state-of-the art heattreating facility. This and other major projects calling Mobile home are in great need of qualified employees. Workers will be needed for the new jobs being offered over the next two years with new industry coming into our city. A workforce strategic planning initiative is a collaborative effort of the City of Mobile, Mobile County, Mobile Works and the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce. We also welcome new citizens to Mobile to fill these jobs since the unemployment rate is so low here and so many of our citizens are fully employed. iii
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Single Audit. As a recipient of Federal and State awards, the City also is responsible for ensuring that adequate internal control is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. This internal control is subject to periodic evaluation by the City. As a part of the City’s single audit, tests are made to determine the adequacy of internal control, including that portion related to Federal awards, as well as to determine that the City’s single audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 provided no instances of material weaknesses in internal control or significant violations of applicable laws and regulations. Cash Management. Cash temporarily idle during the fiscal year was invested in government securities and bank certificates of deposit. The average yield on investments was approximately 2.0 percent. The City’s investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on its portfolio. Accordingly, deposits were either insured by Federal Depository Insurance or collateralized. The deposits that were not insured by Federal Depository Insurance were covered under the Security for Alabama Funds Enhancement (SAFE) program. Each of the banks holding the City’s deposits is a certified participant in the SAFE program. Through the SAFE program, all public funds are protected through a collateral pool administered by the Alabama State Treasury. Risk Management. The City is self-insured for claims and judgments, general liability and general automobile liability. These liabilities were estimated to be approximately $416,000 at September 30, 2008 and were accounted for in the Insurance Internal Service Fund. Claim settlement and loss expenses are accrued in this fund for estimated reported claims. Past experience indicates that incurred but not reported claims, in aggregate, do not represent a material amount and, therefore, have not been accrued at year-end. The City is also self-insured for workers’ compensation claims up to $500,000 per accident and employee health insurance claims. An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $500,000 per accident for workers’ compensation claims. The City has contracted with outside third parties for claims administration. These liabilities were estimated to be approximately $7.14 million at September 30, 2008 and are accounted for in the Governmentwide financial statements. The liability for employee health insurance claims of approximately $1.71 million is reported in the Employee Health Plan Fund (Internal Service Fund).

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied 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 to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The preparation of the comprehensive annual finance report on a timely basis was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance Department and especially the efforts of Patricia Aldrich, Comptroller. Each member of the department has our sincere appreciation for the contributions made in preparation of this report. My sincere appreciation is also extended to our independent auditors, Banks, Finley, White & Co., for their fine cooperation and technical guidance. In closing, without the leadership and support of the governing body of the City, preparation of this report would not have been possible. Sincerely,
Barbara Malkove Executive Director of Finance

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of the City of Mobile’s financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. Please read it in conjunction with the transmittal letter on page i and the City’s financial statements, which begin on page 16. The financial statements are also available on the City’s website at www.cityofmobile.org. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS · ·
·
· ·
The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the current fiscal year by $375.9 million. The City’s total net assets decreased $9.4 million, or 2.44 percent, as a result of this year’s operations. While net assets of our governmental activities decreased by $27.2 million, or 9.20 percent, the net assets of our business-type activities increased by $17.81 million, or 19.89 percent. At the close of the fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $123.2 million. The combined governmental funds fund balance increased by $34.3 million from the prior year's ending fund balance. The General Fund closed with a fund balance of $16.9 million, a decrease of $1.3 million since the beginning of the year. The City’s total debt increased by $123.20 million primarily due to the issuance of $193.9 million in general obligation warrants and a capital leases. The debt provided for the purchase of the Alabama Cruise Terminal, other economic opportunities and city improvement. USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise four components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, 3) notes to the financial statements, and 4) required supplementary information. The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, (pages 16 - 18) provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a longer-term view of the City’s finances. Fund financial statements start on page 19. For governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City’s operations in more detail than the governmentwide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds. The notes to the financial statements 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 start on page 36. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City's general fund budget. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget starting on page 79. 3
REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities One of the most important questions asked about the City’s finances is “Is the City as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. These two statements report the City’s net assets and changes in them. You can think of the City’s net assets – the difference between assets and liabilities – as one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other non-financial factors, however, such as changes in the City’s tax bases and the condition of the City’s drainage systems and roads, to assess the overall health of the City. In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, we divide the City into three kinds of activities: ·
·
·
Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported here, including the police, fire, public works, parks and recreation departments and general administration. Sales, business license, property taxes, franchise fees, and state and federal grants finance most of these activities. Business-type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of certain services provided. Convention center, civic center, the golf and tennis centers and parking facilities are reported here. Component units – The City includes two separate legal entities in its report – Mobile Public Library and The Public Park and Recreation Board (Ladd-Peebles Stadium). Although legally separate, these “component units” are important because the City is financially accountable for them. More comprehensive information about the City’s component units can be found in Note 1. REPORTING THE CITY’S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS
Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State Law and by bond covenants. However, the City Council established many other funds to help control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money (like grants received from the Federal Transportation Authority and the Department of Justice). Major funds are separately reported while all others are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for non-major funds is provided in the form of combining statements in a later section of this report. The City’s two kinds of funds – governmental and proprietary – use different accounting approaches. 4
·
Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Government fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. We describe the relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds in a separate reconciliation following each fund financial statement.
·
Proprietary funds – When the City charges customers for the services it provides, whether to outside customers or to other units of the City, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City’s enterprise funds (a component of proprietary funds) are the same as the business-type activities we report in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds. We use internal service funds (the other component of proprietary funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities – such as the City’s Motor Pool. Because internal service funds primarily serve governmental functions, they are included within the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements. THE CITY AS A WHOLE - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As year-to-year financial information is accumulated on a consistent basis, changes in net assets may be observed and used to discuss the changing financial position of the City as a whole. The City’s net assets at fiscal year-end are $375.9 million. This is a $9.4 million decrease over last year’s net assets of $385.3 million. The following table provides a summary of the City’s net assets:

The largest portion of the City's net assets (72.9 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, equipment, etc.) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding, excluding any unspent proceeds of the debt issued. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; therefore, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay debt must be provided from other sources, since capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City's net assets (26.91 percent) represents resources that are subject to restrictions as to how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets may be used to meet the City's on-going obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets for governmental activities and the government as a whole. However, the unrestricted net assets for business-type activities show a deficit due to increased expenditures for WAVE Transit fuel and utilities, increased para-transit costs, and increased utilities. Total net assets decreased by $27.2 million for governmental activities and increased $17.8 million for business-type activities.

Governmental activities Governmental activities decreased the City’s net assets by $27.2 million. The key elements of this decrease are as follows: ·
Charges for services decreased by $2.21 million.
·
Investment earnings decreased by $1.51 million for governmental activities due to lower interest earnings. Funds available for investing increased.
·
The City received capital contributions during the current year of $3.18 million primarily related to construction and renovation costs.
·
Tax revenues increased by $5.84 million during the year primarily due to leveling in area sales primarily due to the first annexation initiative of the West Mobile corridor along Schillinger Road.
Governmental activity expenses increased over the prior year. Of the $250.85 million of governmental activity expenses, public safety was the largest operating cost, at 38.3% of total costs in 2008. For the government-wide full accrual statements, capital outlay expenses were eliminated and capital assets were reported. Business-type activities Business-type activities increased the City’s total net assets by $17.8 million. Business-type activities are shown comparing costs to revenues generated by related services. The golf course, parking garage and cruise terminal business-type activities are self-supporting with user charges and other revenues designed to recover costs. The civic center, convention center, Firemedics, and WAVE Transit, tennis center, and Affordable Homes Program provided services with user charges that did not recover costs in the current year. These activities required subsidization by the City.

THE CITY’S FUNDS Governmental Funds The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on short-term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such information is useful in comparing the City’s resources at the end of the year with upcoming financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Governmental funds reported ending fund balances of $123.2 million, of which $106.9 million is unreserved, indicating availability for continuing the City’s service requirements. The reserved fund balances include $8.4 million committed to encumbrances outstanding at year end, $1.8 million committed for long-term receivables, $2.7 million committed to grant administration, $2.5 million committed to economic development, and $884,521 for road and bridge repair and construction. The total ending fund balances of governmental funds show a $34.3 million increase from the prior year. This increase is due primarily to proceeds from the issuance of new warrants during the year for capital improvements and to provide funding for advance refundings on warrants and notes payable. Major Governmental Funds The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and the largest source of day-to-day service delivery. The fund balance in the General Fund decreased by approximately $1.3 million due primarily to increases in personnel costs and spending in public safety. See General Fund Budgetary Highlights for more information. The Capital Improvements Fund has a fund balance of $25.08 million which includes a net decrease of $1.5 million. The 2006 G.O. Refunding and Capital Projects fund has a fund balance of $7.99 million. This fund accounts for expenditures related to projects financed by the proceeds of the 2006 G.O. Refunding and Capital Warrants. The fund balance in this fund decreased by $8.6 million as a result of increased capital outlays. Three new funds were established as a result of the issuance of the 2008, 2008B and 2008C G.O. Warrants. The 2008 General Capital Improvements Projects were classified as a major fund. Proprietary Funds The proprietary fund statements share the same focus as the government-wide statements, reporting both short-term and long-term information about financial status.
12
Enterprise Funds The City’s enterprise funds consist of the Alabama Cruise Terminal (a newly established fund for 2008), the Mobile Civic Center, the Municipal Parking Garage, the Azalea City Golf Course, Firemedics, Mobile Convention Center, the Tennis Center, Affordable Homes Program and WAVE Transit. The total net assets of the Enterprise Funds increased by $17.81 million during the current fiscal year. This overall increase is attributable to increased subsidization of the Firemedics, convention center, civic center, and WAVE Transit. Internal Service Funds Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City’s three internal service funds include the Motor Pool Fund, Insurance Fund and Employee Health Fund. The net assets of the funds decreased by $0.86 from the prior year, due to increases in health benefits paid. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS During the year there was a $8.63 million increase in appropriations between the original and final amended budget. Following are the main components of the increase: ·
$2.6 million supplemental appropriation to the public safety department for increased costs ($1.1 million in Police, $725,000 in Fire and $783,000 in Mobile Metro Jail).
·
$1.9 million supplemental appropriation in public works function for increased cost in the municipal garage for the cost of fuel and parts. This trend has continued into the 2008-2009 year.
There were no changes to anticipated revenues from the original to the final amended budget. The budget for fiscal year 2008 was approximately $165.91 million. This was an increase of $2.27 million from the prior year amended budget. Total revenues were approximately $10.8 million over budget while expenditures were $14.6 million over budget. This was due to increases in business license revenue, charges for services and fines and forfeitures. Total revenues included more than $6.9 million in unbudgeted grant proceeds from state and federal government sources. Grant expenditures were also unbudgeted so that total expenditures were over budget for approximately the same amount. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets As of September 30, 2008, the City’s investment in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation for governmental and business-type activities was $490.0 million and $108.9 million, respectively. The overall increase was $77.4 million or 14.8% from 2007 for the City as a whole. See Note 7 for additional information about changes in capital assets during the fiscal year and construction commitments outstanding at the end of the year.

All of the City's general obligation bond issues are insured and as a result, carry the highest ratings from Standard & Poor's Corporation (AAA) and Moody's Investor Services (Aaa). Subsequent to year end, both S & P and Moody’s increased the City’s underlying rating. Under current State of Alabama statutes, the City's general obligation bonded debt issuances are subject to a legal limitation based on 20 percent of total assessed value of real and personal property. As of September 30, 2008, the City's permissible debt limit exceeded actual debt by approximately $222.6 million. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES With positive economic growth of 2007-2008, the general fund budgeted revenues were expected to increase by approximately $10 million. During the year, an area of western Mobile was annexed into the City. But also, the national economy changed dramatically and sales taxes and other revenue sources have decreased by nearly nine million. This remains true for both the general fund and the capital projects fund. Transfers from other funds were less than last year so that total revenues and transfers in are budgeted at approximately $216 million or about $6 million more than the 2007-2008 budget. By the 2008-2009 year-end, a budget amendment is expected showing the decrease in revenues and some decreases in expenditures, especially fuel and repair costs. For those proprietary funds that have adopted budgets, there have been changes in Motor Pool and the WAVE for increases in fuel cost and repair costs. These costs have decreased so that a budget amendment will be offered to decrease those expenditures.

Contributions of capital assets are not reported as income in governmental funds.

Capital-related debt issued Principal payments - capital lease obligations Principal payments - bonds and notes payable 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 the governmental funds.

Because the City appoints the Boards of Directors for these entities and there is a financial burden or benefit from these entities, they are considered governmental fund type component units and are reported in a separate column in the government-wide statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government. Each discretely presented component unit has a September 30 fiscal year-end. Component Units ·

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The more significant of the government’s accounting policies are described below. Basis of Presentation – Government-wide and Fund Accounting The basic financial statements include both government-wide (based on the City as a whole) and fund financial statements. The focus is on either the City as a whole or major individual funds. Both the government-wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type. In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business-type activities columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) are reflected, on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which incorporates long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The City generally first uses restricted assets for expenses incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted assets are available. The City may defer the use of restricted assets based on a review of the specific transaction.
38
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) The government-wide Statement of Activities reflects both the gross and net cost per functional category (public works, public safety, etc.) which are otherwise being supported by general government revenues (taxes, licenses and permits, etc.). The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses, including depreciation, by related program revenues (charges for services, operating and capital grants, and contributions). The program revenues must be directly associated with a function or a business-type activity. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Direct expenses are not eliminated from the various functional categories. The City does not allocate indirect expenses. The operating grants include operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital-specific grants. The governmental funds financial statements are presented on a current financial resource and modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the manner in which these funds are normally budgeted. Since the governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government-wide statements’ governmental column, a reconciliation is presented which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to reconcile the governmental fund statements to the government-wide statements’ governmental column. The focus of this reporting model is on the City as a whole and the fund financial statements, including the major individual funds of the governmental and business-type categories, as well as the component units. Each presentation provides valuable information that can be analyzed and compared (between years and between governments) to enhance the usefulness of the information. In the fund financial statements, the City’s accounting records are organized and operated on a fund basis. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of carrying on the specific activities or attaining certain objectives, in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. The types of funds used in accounting for the financial operations of the City and their nature and purpose are as follows: Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the City’s expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in proprietary funds) are accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus is based upon determination of changes in financial position, rather than upon net income determination. The following are the City’s governmental funds:
39

Operating revenues shown for proprietary operations generally result from producing or providing goods and services.

Employee Health Fund – This fund is used to account for assets held in trust by the City for the payment of health insurance claims.
Basis of Accounting – Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide financial statements, as well as the enterprise funds, apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements, in which case, GASB prevails. The City’s reporting entity does not apply FASB pronouncements or APB opinions issued after November 30, 1989. Government-wide Financial Statements In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-type activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Fund Financial Statements Governmental Funds All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become both “measurable and available” to finance current expenditures. Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities (the City considers revenue available if it is collected within 60 days after year end). Selective sales and use taxes are considered available and measurable when the underlying exchange has occurred (i.e., September sales taxes are recorded as revenue in September even though the taxpayers remit the taxes in October) and are recognized as revenue at that time. Anticipated refunds of such taxes are recorded as liabilities and reductions of revenue when they are measurable and their validity seems certain. Property taxes are recognized as revenue when the enforceable legal claim has occurred. Grant revenues are recognized when all eligibility requirements have been met. Other revenues, including licenses and permits, certain charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues, are recorded as revenue when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually received. 45
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Expenditures (including capital outlay) are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are exceptions to this rule and are recognized when due. Also, expenditures related to insurance claims, employee pension liability, compensated absences and the sinking fund are recognized when payable from expendable available financial resources. Proprietary Funds Proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they are earned, and their expenses are recognized when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting – The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data presented in the accompanying financial statements: ·
Prior to August 20, the Mayor submits to the City Council a proposed current revenue and expenditure budget for the general operations of the City government for the fiscal year beginning October 1, which constitutes the General Fund Budget, a Capital Budget and a budget message. However, a legally adopted budget is only required for the General Fund. By law, expenditures may not exceed revenues and surplus available, if any.
·
A public hearing is held to obtain final taxpayer input, and necessary revisions are made not later than September 30.
·
The budget is adopted by a majority vote of the City Council, and any required revenue measures are legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
·
Changes or amendments to budgeted expenditures of the City at the departmental and fund level must be approved by the City Council.
·
Departmental expenditures may not legally exceed budgetary appropriations for the General Fund. Accordingly, the legal level of budgetary control is established within the General Fund at the departmental level. Management may amend the budget at the object level within departments without City Council approval. All unencumbered balances lapse at year-end.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Revenue Recognition – Ad valorem taxes are assessed on property valuations and statutory liens are attached to such properties as of October 1st each year. These taxes are due October 1st, but do not become delinquent until December 31st, after which penalty fees are levied. If taxes and penalties are not paid by June 30th of the following year, the property is then sold for taxes due and remittance is made at this time by the Mobile County Tax Collector to the City of Mobile. All tax levies are collected and remitted to the City of Mobile by the end of the City’s fiscal year; consequently, the financial statements do not have accounts receivable or allowance for uncollected tax levies. Other material revenue which is susceptible to accrual includes sales tax, interest income and state-shared revenue. Revenue which is not both available and measurable and is thus not susceptible to accrual includes property and franchise taxes and business licenses. Deferred Revenue – The fund financial statements include both unearned revenue and revenue that is not considered available to finance current expenditures. The government–wide financial statements include only unearned revenue. Encumbrances – Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditures of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary control in the General Fund and Capital Projects Funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a reservation of fund balance for subsequent year expenditures. For budgetary purposes, current year encumbrances are treated as expenditures and any unencumbered balances lapse at year-end. Encumbrances have been recorded in the General Fund and Capital Projects Funds. Pooled Cash and Investments – Pooled cash and investments consist of cash, government securities, certificates of deposit, and repurchase agreements. Cash balances and the requirements of all funds are considered in determining the amount to be invested. Interest earned on pooled cash and investments is recorded as General Fund revenue and allocated between funds based upon balances (see Note 3). The City reports its money market investments and investments in short-term debt securities that have remaining maturities of one year or less at amortized cost. Inventories - All City inventories are maintained on a consumption basis of accounting where items are purchased for inventory and charged to the budgetary accounts as the items are consumed. Inventories held by the General Fund consist principally of traffic engineering, municipal garage, public buildings, and electrical department supplies. Inventories are stated at average or weighted average cost. Appropriate allowances have been recorded for obsolete and surplus items.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Interfund Transactions – On fund financial statements, receivables and payables resulting from outstanding balances are classified as “interfund receivables/payables.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” Flow of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment is reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds. The governmentwide statements eliminate interfund transfers and receivables/payables as reported within the segregated governmental and business-type activities column. Only transfers and receivables/payables between the two columns appear in this statement, which zero in total. Capital Assets - The accounting treatment over capital assets depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements. Government-wide Financial Statements In the government-wide financial statements, capital assets are valued at historical cost, or estimated historical cost if actual is unavailable. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated. The City capitalizes assets with a cost of $2,500 or more as purchase and construction outlays occur. Infrastructure has been capitalized retroactively to 1980 using estimated historical costs. Depreciation is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows: Types of Assets Buildings Improvements Infrastructure (Drainage, Streets, Bridges, Sidewalks and Docking) Infrastructure (Utilities and Landscaping) Machinery and equipment Automotive equipment Office equipment
Estimated Useful Life 25-60 years 20 years 50 years 25 years 5-10 years 3-15 years 6 years
Fund Financial Statements In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same as in the government-wide financial statements. 48
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Bond Discounts, Premiums and Issuance Costs - In the governmental funds, bond discounts, premiums and issuance costs are treated as period costs in the year of issue. In the government-wide financial statements, bond discounts, premiums and issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the bonds outstanding method which approximates the effective interest method. Bond discounts/premiums are presented as a reduction/addition to the face amount of the bonds payable whereas issuance costs are recorded as other assets. Compensated Absences – The GASB requires that accrued liabilities for future vacations and sick leave be recorded if, (1) the employees' rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered, and (2) it is probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time off or some other means, such as cash payments at termination or retirement. The liability for these compensated absences is recorded as long-term debt in the government-wide financial statements. The current portion of this debt is estimated based on historical trends. In the enterprise funds, the compensated absences liability is presented in the balance sheet, and is classified as current and non-current. In the governmental fund financial statements, amounts that would normally be paid with expendable available financial resources once the liability has matured, for example as a result of employee resignations and retirements, are recorded in the General Fund, and the amounts considered noncurrent are not reported in the fund financial statements. Amounts paid or payable within 60 days are deemed to be payable from expendable financial resources. Equity Classifications Government-wide Financial Statements Equity is classified as net assets and displayed in three components: ·
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds and mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
·
Restricted net assets – Consists of net assets with constraints placed on the use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) the City’s own laws through its enabling legislation and other provisions of its laws and regulations.
·
Unrestricted net assets – All other net assets that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “invested in capital assets, net of related debt.”

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) Fund Financial Statements The fund equity of the governmental fund financial statements is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is further classified as reserved and unreserved. The fund equity of the proprietary fund financial statements is classified in the same manner as the government-wide financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows – For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the proprietary funds consider cash and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. NOTE 3 – CASH, EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS Deposits Cash balances available for investment by most City funds are maintained in pooled cash and investment accounts to improve investment opportunities. The equity in pooled cash and investment balances in the accompanying combined balance sheet represents the undivided interest of each respective fund in pooled accounts. Included as deposits are bank accounts and certificates of deposit. Each of the banks holding the City’s deposits, as well as those of the Component Units, is a certified participant in the Security for Alabama Funds Enhancement (SAFE) program. Through the SAFE program, all public funds are protected through a collateral pool administered by the Alabama State Treasury. The City’s primary government deposits were fully insured or collateralized at September 30, 2008. At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $125,496,164 and the bank balance was $98,298,449. Included in the bank balances are certificates of deposit totaling $80,673,659. Of the total bank balance, $2,250,000 was covered by Federal Depository Insurance. The remainder of $123,246,164 was covered under the SAFE program. Investments The City is restricted by State statute to investments in U.S. Government Treasury and Agency securities, certificates of deposit and money market accounts, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, banker’s acceptances and commercial paper. In each case, all funds must be fully insured or collateralized by the pledge of securities. Securities allowed as collateral include U.S. Government Treasury and Agency securities, State of Alabama Obligations and City of Mobile Obligations. As of September 30, 2008, the City had the following investments:

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 3 – CASH, EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONT'D) Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk The City’s investment policy prohibits the purchase of debt securities rated below AA. As of September 30, 2008, the City’s investments in Federal Home Loan Bank securities are rated A1+ by Standard and Poor’s (S & P), and the City’s money market investments are rated AAAm by S & P. These are S & P’s highest ratings in the respective investment categories. The investment policy also requires diversification of the City’s investment portfolio by security type and institution. With the exception of U.S. Treasury Securities, the City will allow no more than 65% of its investment portfolio to be invested in a single issuer. Of the City’s total investments 1.99% are in Dreyfus Government Cash Funds and 14.07% are issues of the Federal Home Loan Bank. Custodial Credit Risk The City’s investment policy includes a requirement that City funds be collateralized at 102%. Investments are exposed to custodial credit risk if the securities are uninsured and unregistered and are either held by the counterparty, or by the counterparty’s trust department or agent but not in the City’s name. Interest Rate Risk The City has an investment policy that limits the maturities on individual investments to no more than one year.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT (CONT'D) Under State law, the City’s legal debt may not exceed 20% of the total assessed value of real and personal property within the City. At September 30, 2008, the permissible debt limit exceeded actual debt by approximately $223 million. The City, on behalf of the Mobile Housing Board, has obtained a total of three loans from a bank guaranteed by the Secretary for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Proceeds of the loans were passed through the City to the Mobile Housing Board for the construction of three buildings located in downtown Mobile. Although the City remains contingently liable, the loans have been recorded as obligations of the Mobile Housing Board, a separate reporting entity, because of its agreement to service the debt until retirement with proceeds from a HUD community development block grant. The balances of the loans outstanding at September 30, 2008 totaled $3,650,000. NOTE 9 – DEFEASANCE OF PRIOR DEBT The City has defeased certain outstanding general obligation bonds and warrants and other debt by placing the proceeds of new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old debt. Accordingly, the trust accounts and the defeased debt are not included in the City’s financial statements. At September 30, 2008, the following outstanding debt is considered defeased: 2000 General Obligation Capital Improvement Warrants
$ 11,345,000
NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The City contributes to three retirement plans covering substantially all of its employees. Contributions by the City to the three plans during the year are summarized as follows: Employees' Retirement System of Alabama (ERSA) Police and Firefighters Retirement Plan (PFFRP) General Municipal Employee Pension Trust Fund (GMEPTF) Total
$ 3,346,473 10,579,773 30,070 $13,956,316
Employees’ Retirement System of Alabama – All of the City’s employees, other than police and fire employees, participate in ERSA, an agent multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan. ERSA provides retirement and other benefits for state employees, state police, and, on an elective basis, to employees of all cities, counties, towns and quasi-public organizations. The ERSA issues a stand-alone financial report which may be obtained by contacting The Retirement Systems of Alabama at 135 South Union Street, Montgomery, AL 36130-2150.
61
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) The plan provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Members vest after 10 years of service. Employees attaining the earlier of age 60 or completing 25 or more creditable years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life. Service retirement benefits are calculated by three methods with the members receiving payments under the method which yields the highest monthly benefit: (1) minimum guaranteed, (2) money purchase, or (3) formula. Under the formula method, members are allowed 2.0125% of their final average salary (best 3 of the last 10 years) for each year of service. The plan permits early retirement at the age of 60 and completion of 10 years of creditable service. Active employees who become disabled receive disability benefits which are calculated in the same manner as those used for service retirement benefits. These benefits are paid until the earlier of death or recovery from disability. If an active employee dies, his/her designated beneficiary receives payments, not to exceed the balance of his/her vested contributions plus the member’s annual earnings from the previous fiscal year at date of death. The beneficiary has the option of receiving an initial lump sum or to receive monthly payments until the designated amount is paid in full. If a member’s employment is terminated before the member is eligible for any other benefits under the Employees’ Retirement System of Alabama, the member shall receive a refund of his/her member contribution plus interest credited at 4% per year compounded annually, based upon the following years of service: Service Less than 3 years 3 - 15 years 15 - 20 years 21 - 25 years
Interest Credited None 50% of interest earned 60% of interest earned 70% of interest earned
Employees participating in the plan are required to contribute 5% of their earnings to the plan. Employer contributions during fiscal 2008 were based on 7.74% of salaries. Employer contributions required to support the benefits of the system are determined using a level funding approach and consist of a normal contribution, determined using the “entry age normal” method, and an unfunded accrued liability determined by subtracting the present value of prospective employer normal contributions and member contributions together with the current assets held from the present value of total expected benefits to be paid from the system. Total contributions to the pension plan in fiscal 2008 amounted to $5,475,110 of which $3,346,473 and $2,128,637 were made by the City of Mobile and its employees respectively. The contributed amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of September 30, 2007.
62
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) The authority to establish or amend the Plan’s funding policy is granted under Provisions of Act 515, Acts of Alabama 1945, for the purpose of providing retirement allowances and other specified benefits for state employees, state police, and, on an elective basis, all cities, counties, towns and quasi-public organizations. The responsibility for the general administration and operation of the employee retirement system is vested in the Board of Control. Benefit provisions are established by the Code of Alabama 1975, Sections 36-27-1 through 36-27-103, as amended, sections 36-27-120 through 36-27-139, as amended, and sections 36-27B-1 through 36-27B-6. The annual pension cost and total contributions made for Plan years 2007/08 and 2006/07 were as follows: Plan Year 2007/08
Plan Year 2006/07
Annual pension cost
$ 2,773,256
$ 2,533,082
Contributions made
$ 2,773,256
$ 2,533,082
Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the annual required contribution at September 30, 2007 include: (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8 percent per year compounded annually and (b) projected salary increases depending on age of employee ranging from 4.61 percent to 7.75 percent per year. Of the salary increases assumption, approximately 4.5 percent of the salary increases is attributable to inflation while the remainder is attributable to merit or seniority. The actuarial value of assets was determined using a five year smoothed market method. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at September 30, 2007 was 20 years.

Police and Firefighters Retirement Plan – Every member of the police and fire departments of the City, except for civilian employees hired on or after April 15, 1985, certain civilian employees hired before April 15, 1985, and certain policemen and firemen who elected not to participate during a temporary period of discretionary participation, participates in the PFFRP, a singleemployer, defined-benefit pension plan. The PFFRP was established by an Act of the Alabama State Legislature. The Act requires that employees contribute 8% of their earnings to the fund, and the City contributes an actuarially determined amount. Also contributed by the City are 5% of certain Municipal Court fines and 2% of the gross fire insurance premiums collected on policies which cover property within the City of Mobile limits and its police jurisdiction. The City reimburses the PFFRP for the liability for the pre-retirement lump sum death benefit equal to a match of the employee contributions up to $5,000. The PFFRP issues a stand-alone financial report which may be obtained by contacting the Mobile Police and Firefighters’ Retirement Plan Board at Post Office Box 1827, Mobile, AL 366331827. Participants in the PFFRP are entitled to certain benefits depending upon whether sufficient assets are in the fund to cover the benefits.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) Participating members hired prior to March 28, 1990, attaining the earlier of age 50 and completing 20 or more years of service with the last ten years being consecutive are entitled to a monthly benefit of 2.5% of the member’s final three years’ average salary, not to exceed 75% of final average salary. Participating members hired on or after March 28, 1990, attaining the earlier of age 55 and completing 20 or more years of service with the last ten years being consecutive are entitled to a monthly benefit of 2.5% of the member’s final five years’ average salary plus 2.25% of final average salary for each year of service in excess of 20 years, not to exceed 72.5% of final average salary. A member actively employed who is eligible for retirement may elect to remain employed by the City as an Eligible Employee and participate in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan for a period not to exceed 36 months, deferring receipt of retirement benefit until employment with the City is terminated. If a participating member of the police or fire department who has at least 15 years of service becomes permanently physically or mentally disabled other than while performing his/her duties as a uniformed officer, he/she shall be entitled to a disability pension equal to 2.5% of his/her final salary multiplied by his/her years of service, but not more than 60% of his/her final salary. If any participant becomes permanently physically or mentally disabled in the line of duty, he/she shall receive a monthly benefit equal to 45% of his/her final salary. If a member disabled in the line of duty can prove to the Board’s satisfaction that he/she is totally disabled, he/she will be entitled to 60% of his/her final salary. If a member terminates his/her employment for reasons other than disability or death after completing more than 15 years of service but less than 20 years, the last 10 years being consecutive, he/she is entitled to receive a maximum monthly benefit equal to 2.5% of his/her final three years’ average salary multiplied by his/her years’ service beginning the later of his/her termination or his/her 65th birthday. If a member with less than 15 years terminates his/her employment for reasons other than disability or death, he/she shall receive a refund of his/her contributions to the Plan. If a member eligible for retirement dies prior to his/her annuity starting date, his/her eligible family members shall receive a benefit equal to the greater of the 50% survivor’s benefit, or a single sum equal to the lesser of twice the member’s contributions to the Plan or the sum of the member’s contributions plus $5,000. If a member eligible for retirement dies prior to his/her annuity starting date who is not survived by an eligible family member, or if a member not eligible for retirement dies, the beneficiary shall receive a single sum equal to the lesser of twice the member’s contributions to the Plan or the sum of the member’s contributions plus $5,000. The PFFRP Board has the authority to establish and/or amend the obligations to contribute to the Plan of the Plan members and/or the Plan’s sponsor with approval by a majority vote of the city council or like governing body of the City.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) The minimum required contribution as determined by the Act is the sum of the following amounts: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
the normal cost for the plan year (determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method); the increasing 30-year amortization payment required to amortize the initial unfunded actuarial accrued liability determined as of October 1, 1996, which amortization payment is scheduled to increase at the rate of 4% per annum; the level-dollar 30-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability due to plan changes; the level-dollar 10-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability due to assumption and method changes; and the level-dollar five-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability due to experience.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the actuarial accrued liability. The required contribution percentages, developed in the most recent actuarial valuations for the plans, to cover minimum pension liabilities are: Determination of minimum required contribution: Normal cost Amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability Total required contributions as a percentage of expected payroll

The actuarial required contribution for 2007/2008 and 2006/2007 plan years were determined as part of the October 1 actuarial valuations using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 8% investment rate of return and (b) projected salary increase of 5% per year. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3.5%. The actuarial value of assets was determined using market value. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at October 1, 2007 was 40 years.

General Municipal Employee Pension Trust Fund – In 1968, a significant curtailment with respect to participation in the GMEPTF occurred, the effect of which rendered the plan virtually inactive. Participation in the pension fund by City employees hired after 1968 was ended. Eligible employees in 1968 were able to elect participation in the Employees’ Retirement System of Alabama plus some combination of benefits under the GMEPTF. The pension fund was insolvent at the date of the change in the plan. The City plans to fund benefits under the GMEPTF as they become due. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had no assets; accordingly, the City will pay benefits as needed from the General Fund. Annually, the City reviews the plan for significant changes in actuarial assumptions. As a result of such a review as of September 30, 2008, the City has determined that an actuarial update is not required due to the discontinuance of participation in the plan, stable actuarial assumptions, the annual diminishment of the estimated pension liability resulting from benefit payments and the relative insignificance of the plan to the financial position and results of operation of the City. Benefits paid by the City under the GMEPTF during the year ended September 30, 2008 was $103,245. 67
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) Transit Workers Pension Plan (TWPP) – On June 30, 2003 the City entered into an agreement and declaration of trust (the trust agreement) with Transit Management of Mobile, Inc. (the contracted Operator), to be retroactively effective to July 1, 2002 which contractually obligated the City (as plan sponsor) to reimburse the contracted Operator for the payment of any pension plan or other employee benefits. The trust agreement establishes the TWPP, a single-employer defined benefit pension plan, for the purpose of providing pension benefits to participants, retired participants and beneficiaries that are equivalent to those benefits that were previously offered under the ERSA. The TWPP covers employees of the contracted Operator (former employees of the City) and was established under the Urban Mass Transportation Act which requires provisions for the preservation of rights, privileges and benefits, including the continuation of pension rights and benefits. All full-time employees of the contracted Operator, other than the general manager, are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan year begins July 1, and ends June 30. The TWPP issues a stand-alone financial report which may be obtained by contacting the Board of Trustees of the TWPP at 1224 West I-65 Service Road South, Mobile, AL 36609. The plan provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Members vest after 5 years of service. Employees attaining the earlier of age 60 or completing 25 or more creditable years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life. Participants receive credited service for all periods of full-time covered employment as well as for the period during which the participant was a member of the ERSA, including periods of purchased creditable service under the ERSA, as well as for the period beginning with the date the participant was no longer an active member of ERSA and ending on June 30, 2002. Members receive payments based on 2.0125% of average monthly compensation (best 3 of the last 10 years) multiplied by credited service, offset by the monthly accrued benefit payable from the ERSA and attributable to service recognized as credited service under this plan. The plan permits early retirement at the age of 60 upon completion of 5 years of creditable service. Active employees who become disabled receive disability benefits which are calculated in the same manner as that used for service retirement benefits. These benefits are paid until the earlier of death or recovery from disability. If an active employee dies, his/her designated beneficiary receives payments, not to exceed the balance of his/her vested contributions plus the member’s annual earnings from the previous fiscal year at date of death. The beneficiary has the option of receiving an initial lump sum or to receive monthly payments until the designated amount is paid in full. If a member’s employment is terminated before the member is eligible for any other benefits under the plan, the member shall receive a single lump sum payment equal to accumulated contributions plus interest credited at 4% per year compounded annually (for participants who have earned less than five years of credited service), or a monthly accrued benefit payable at normal retirement age calculated in the same manner as that used for service retirement benefits (for participants who have earned at least five years of credited service).

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) Employees participating in the plan are required to contribute 5% of their earnings to the plan, and the City contributes an actuarially determined amount. Employer contributions required to support the benefits of the system are determined using a level funding approach and consist of a normal contribution, determined using the “entry age normal” method, and an unfunded accrued liability determined by subtracting the present value of prospective employer normal contributions and member contributions together with the current assets held from the present value of total expected benefits to be paid from the system. The contributed amounts were actuarially determined as described above and were based on an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2006. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7% investment rate of return and (b) projected salary increase of 4% per year. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3%. The actuarial value of assets was determined using market value. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2007 was 25 years. Trend information for the Annual Pension Cost of the Plan for the current and two previous years are as follows: Plan Year Ended

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEBs) The City provides post-employment healthcare coverage, including dental benefits, and life insurance, as allowed by Alabama state laws, to eligible individuals on a pay-as-you-go basis. With respect to retirees, life insurance is equal to $6,000 for former employees and $2,000 for each covered dependent and is a fully-insured benefit provided by an insurance company selected periodically by the City. With respect to disabled employees for the first 12 months of disability prior to age 65, life insurance is equal to the lesser of two times annual salary or $75,000 plus an accidental death and dismemberment benefit of the same amount. The cost of retiree health care, dental care and life insurance benefits is recognized as an expenditure as claims are paid. For fiscal year 2008, those costs totaled approximately $5,440,290 and the liability for incurred and not paid claims totaled $2,461,100. Eligible Individuals: Eligible individuals include all regular, full-time employees of the City and their spouses and dependent children who are covered on the date of the employee’s retirement, disability, or death, as applicable. General employees must be age 60 with at least 10 years of service with the City out of the last 12 years of employment or any age with at least 25 years of service, of which at least the last 10 years were in active employment with the City and at least 20 years were under the Mobile County Merit System. Alternatively, general employees with at least 10 years of service who become eligible for a disability pension under the Retirement System of Alabama (RSA) will also be eligible for coverage. Police and fire employees must be age 50 (if hired prior to March 28, 1990) or age 55 (otherwise) with at least 20 years of service or must become eligible for a disability pension from the police and firefighter retirement plan sponsored by the City. Alternatively, police and fire employees who terminate their employment prior to retirement, but who have earned at least 20 years of service, will also be eligible for coverage, provided that they pay the COBRA premium during the deferral period prior to their retirement. All other employees who terminate their employment are eligible for COBRA coverage. Spouses of deceased employees or retirees are also eligible for COBRA coverage prior to age 65. Required Monthly Premium for Post-Employment Benefit Coverage: Retirees must pay the required monthly premium for either single or family coverage, as applicable. During fiscal year 2008, retirees have been assumed to make monthly contributions equal to $38.00 for single coverage and $101.00 for family coverage. COBRA contributions for the same period have been assumed to be $233.00 per month for single coverage and $593.00 per month for family coverage. Dependents of deceased retirees may pay the monthly retiree rate for up to 12 months after the retiree’s death, but must pay the monthly COBRA premium thereafter. Dependents of employees who either have earned at least 10 years of service or die in the line of duty are eligible to pay the same premium. All other terminated employees and dependents must pay the COBRA premium for continued coverage.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 10 – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONT'D) Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation: The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period of time. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation to the OPEB Plan: As of September 30, 2008 Annual OPEB Cost Employer Contributions Interest on Employer Contributions Increase in the Net OPEB Obligation Net OPEB Obligation, beginning of the year

Funding Status and Funding Progress As of September 30, 2007, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $196,597,000, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $71,720,000 and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 274.1 percent. The projection of future benefit payments for an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. 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 with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, present trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. 71

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The City used the projected unit credit cost method to determine all liabilities, with the liability for each active employee assumed to accrue over his working lifetime based on elapsed time from his date of hire until retirement.

NOTE 12 – RENTAL INCOME The City is lessor of a parking garage under a lease agreement effective August 17, 2004 for an initial term of 49 years. The lessee may, at its option, extend the initial term of the lease for two additional periods. The first extension shall be for a term of 15 years on the same terms and conditions of the initial term by giving written notice to the City at least 60 days prior to the end of the initial term. The second extension shall be for a term of 12 years and 2 days, terminating on August 19, 2080 on the same terms and conditions of the initial term by giving written notice to the City at least 60 days prior to the end of the first extension term. The lessee paid a base amount of $5,000,000 which constituted payment in full of all base rent due under the lease for the lease term; therefore the base rental amount is being recognized as revenue over a period of 49 years. The lease allows the lessee to pay all expenses associated with the operation of the parking garage from rentals received. A percentage of the balance remaining after payment of these expenses is to be remitted to the City at the end of each lease year commencing on October 1 of each year. Rental income of $315,206 for fiscal year 2008 is included in the Enterprise Funds – Municipal Parking Garage fund. Also see Note 8 for additional information relating to leased property. On February 3, 2004, the City entered into a ground lease agreement with Alabama Real Estate Holdings, Inc. (AREH) for a portion of Mobile Landing on which AREH agreed to develop a cruise terminal, parking garage and related commercial and retail facilities. Under the agreement, AREH is required in each twelve month period commencing October 1 of each year to pay to the City an amount equal to a specific percentage of excess cash flow as defined in the agreement for the immediately preceding operating year (the “Excess Cash Flow (ECF) Distribution Percentage”). 73
CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 12 – RENTAL INCOME (CONT'D) The initial ECF Distribution Percentage is 60%, and payments shall be made commencing on January 1, 2006 and on each January 1st thereafter based on the excess cash flow for the operating year ending on the immediately preceding September 30th and calculated on the basis of the financial statements for such operating year. Concurrently with the making of any such payment, AREH shall deliver to the City a certificate of the chief financial officer of AREH demonstrating its calculation of the amount to be paid. In the event the sum of debt service on the AREH Loan and Operating Expenses is greater than the Gross Project Receipts for any Operating Year (an “Operating Deficiency”), the City must pay such Operating Deficiency to AREH within 30 days of its receipt of the certificate. For the operating year ended September 30, 2008, the amount to be remitted to AREH was $580,199, which is included in accounts payable in the Capital Improvements Fund at September 30, 2008. NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Joint Governmental Complex On June 26, 1990, the City entered into an operating lease with the County of Mobile (The County) to lease space in a joint governmental complex. Lease payments for the City were $1,313,389 for the year ended September 30, 2008. The above referenced lease agreement is renewable annually and calls for the City to pay a minimum $935,000 in lease payments for each full renewed lease year. The annual rent is adjusted once every two lease years by a factor based on the fee received by the City from the County for the City’s collection of the County’s sales tax. University of South Alabama Cancer Center The City entered into a performance agreement with the University of South Alabama dated December 7, 2004 to pay to the University a sum sufficient to pay debt service on $6 million (plus interest at 5% per annum) of the total construction and start-up costs of the Cancer Center. The funds will be paid over a ten year period commencing August 1, 2005. In order to provide for a method of paying the sums agreed, the City adopted Ordinance No. 34-055 effective December 7, 2004 to amend the tax rate imposed on hotels, motels, tourist courts, tourist cabins, lodging houses and rooming houses (the Lodging Tax) within the City, in addition to all license taxes already imposed upon them, a license tax equal to 8% of gross receipts and that in the Police Jurisdiction to an additional 3% of gross receipts. The City has specially and irrevocably pledged this increase for the payment of the principal and interest to the University.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT'D) Self-Insured Liability - Legal The City of Mobile is a defendant in various suits and has been notified of claims against it, said suits and claims arising from alleged defects in sidewalks, streets, public drainage facilities and other public ways, or arising from alleged negligent operation of motor vehicles and other alleged tortuous misconduct on the part of City employees. The City attorney has reviewed these claims and lawsuits in order to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to the City and to arrive at an estimate, if any, of the amount or range of potential loss to the City. As a result of such review, the various claims and lawsuits have been categorized into “probable,” “reasonably possible” and “remote” contingencies. According to the City attorney, loss contingencies categorized as “probable” range between $415,874 and $466,273. Consequently, the City has accrued at September 30, 2008, the lesser of the range equal to $415,874. Loss contingencies categorized as “reasonably possible” range between $425,000 and $1,000,000. NOTE 14 – 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. The claim liabilities are reported if information prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The City is self-insured for claims and judgments, general liability, and general automobile liability. As more fully discussed in Note 13, the City has determined and recorded an estimate of $415,874 for loss contingencies relating to claims and judgments. Claim settlement and loss expenses are accrued for estimated reported claims. Past experience indicates that incurred but not reported claims, in aggregate, do not represent a material amount and, therefore, have not been accrued at year-end. The City is also self-insured for workers’ compensation claims up to $500,000 per accident and for employee health insurance claims. An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $500,000 per accident for workers’ compensation claims. The City has contracted with outside parties for claims administration. The estimated liability for workers’ compensation claims as of September 30, 2008 is $7,148,114. The liability for employee health insurance claims includes an estimated amount for claims that have been incurred but have not been reported. The present value of the estimated liability for employee health claims as of September 30, 2008 is $1,704,746.

NOTE 16 – MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS The City has in operation two solid waste landfills. The responsibility for annual operation and future closure and postclosure care costs of one of the landfills has been transferred to another entity. At September 30, 2008, the City believes that this entity is financially capable of meeting the closure and postclosure care obligations when they are due. Accordingly, a liability for such future costs has not been established. The City owns a second landfill site which has reached full capacity. State and federal laws and regulations require the City to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill site for thirty years after closure. The $1,007,459 reported in the Statement of Net Assets as a landfill postclosure liability at September 30, 2008 represents the estimated current cost of all postclosure care. However, due to changes in technology, laws or regulations, these costs may change in the future.

Sources: Assessed value data used to estimate applicable percentages provided by the Mobile County Commissioner's Office. Debt outstanding data provided by the County. Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City of Mobile. This process recognizes that, when considering the government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government. 1
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the county's taxable assessed value that is within the government's boundaries and dividing it by the county's total taxable assessed value.
