Honorable Mayor and Members

City of Blair, Nebraska "Independent Auditor's Report"
e
Gentlemen:
I have audited the general purpose financial statements of
the City of Blair, Nebraska, and the combining, individual fund,
and account group financial statements of the City as of and for
the year ended July 31, 1991, as listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements
are the responsibility
si
ilitY
of the entity..
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and generally accepted government auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit
provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
As described more fully in Note 1, the budgetary comparisons
included in the combined statements of revenues and expenditures
are on the basis of cash receipts and expenditures which is
different from the accrual basis on which the actual amounts are
reported. The budgetary information included for the year ended
July 31, 1991, has not been compiled or audited by me and,
accordingly, I do not express an opinion or any other form of
assurance on it.
Management has elected to omit the summaries of significant
assumptions and accounting policies required under established
guidelines for presentation of prospective financial statements.
If the omitted summaries were included in the budgeted
information, they might influence the user's conclusions about
the city's budgeted information. Accordingly, this budgeted
information is not designed for those who are not informed about
such matters.

the City Council

In my opinion, the general purpose financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
financial position of the City of Blair, Nebraska, at July
1991, and the results of its operations and the changes in
flow for its propriety fund types for the year then ended,
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Also, in
my opinion, the combining, individual fund, and account group
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the individual
funds and account groups of the City of Blair, Nebraska, at July
31, 1991, and the results of operations of such funds and the
changes in cash flow of the individual proprietary funds for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
My examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the general purpose :Financial statements taken as a whole and on
the combining, individual fund, and individual account group
financial statements. The Esccompanying financial information
listed as supporting schedules in the table of contents is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the financial statements of the City of Blair, Nebraska.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the examination of the general purpose combining,
individual fund, and individual account group financial statements
and, in my opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements of each of the respective
individual funds and account groups, taken as a whole.

CITY OF BLAIR, NEBRASKA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Blair accounts for its financial position and
results of operations in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to governmental units. Accordingly,
the City uses several funds and account groups which are described
below.
A. Fund Types and Account Groups:
A fund or account group is an accounting entity with a
self -balancing set of accounts established to record the
financial position and results of operations of a specific
governmental activity. The City maintains the
following fund types and account groups:
Governmental fund types, that include the General Fund,
Street Fund, and the Sinking Fund, are used to record the
general operations of the City;
L, Proprietary fund types, that are used to account for
activities conducted on a fee for service basis in a manner
similar to commercial enterprises, provide services to the
public (enterprise funds);
Fiduciary fund types (trust and insurance funds), that are
used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for
private individuals or organizations or in trust;
General fixed assets and general long-term obligation
account groups, that are used to account for property and
equipment and long-term obligations of governmental funds.
General long-term bonded debt was repaid through the Debt
Service Fund.
B. Reporting Entity:
All significant activities and organizations on which the
City exercises oversight responsibility have been included in the
City's general purpose financial statements, for the year ended
July 31, 1991. The following criteria regarding manifestation of
oversight were considered by the City in its evaluation of the
City organizations and activities:
Financial interdependency -The City is responsible for its
debts and is entitled to surpluses. No separate agency receives
a financial benefit nor imposes a financial burden on the City.
Election of the government authority -The locally elected
City Council is exclusively responsible for all public decisions
and accountable for the decisions it makes.

CITY OF BLAIR, NEBRASKA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,_ Continued
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Designation of management -The City Council appoints the CitS
Administrator. The City Administrator hires other members of
City management. The activities under the purview of management
are within the scope of the reporting entity and management is
accountable to the City Council for the activities being managed.
Ability to significantly influence operations -The City
Council has the statutory authority under the provisions of the
Revised Statutes to significantly influence operations. This
authority includes, but is not limited to, adoption of the
budget, control over all assets, including facilities and
properties, short term borrowing, signing contracts, and
developing the programs to be provided.
Accountability of fiscal matters -The responsibility and
accountability over all funds is vested in the City management.
C. Basis of Accounting:
All governmental fund types are accounted for using
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues
are recognized when earned and expenditures are recognized
when incurred except in the case of property tax revenues
recognized when received, and in the recording of interest
on general obligation bonds only when the coupons mature.
The proprietary fund types and similar trust funds
are accounted for using the accrual basis whereby revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized
when incurred.
The City does not apply encumbrance accounting in any
of its funds.
D. Debt Service Fund:
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the
payment of principal and interest on general long-term
debt. The primary sources of revenue are property taxes
and special assessments.
E. Inventory:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
F. Property:
All fixed assets are recorded at cost or estimated
cost, if actual cost is not available.
The proprietary and fiduciary fund assets are
presented on the respective balance sheets except for the
cost of any underground utility lines which are not
included in the assets. Depreciation of the assets is
computed on a straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of'the assets. The range of estimated lives
is from five to fifty years.
Assets in other than proprietary and fiduciary funds
are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase with
the accumulated cost being presented in the general fixed
asset group of accounts. Certain improvements such as
roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks,
drainage systems, and lighting systems are not
capitalized. No depreciation is provided for assets in
the general fixed asset group of accounts.
G. Budgetary Basis:
The City's legally adopted budget is based on
requirements of the State of Nebraska. The budget is
prepared and adopted using the cash basis of accounting
whereby revenues are budgeted when expected to be received
rather than earned and expenditures are budgeted when
expected to be disbursed rather than incurred.
H. Compensated Absences:
The City of Blair does not record accrued compensated
absences as they are unmeasurable as of July 31, 1991.
I. Investments:
The Investments are bank Certificates of Deposits or
U.S. Government Securities with no unusual restrictions other
than penalty for early withdrawal. All unrestricted investments
are short-term. Investments are stated at cost, which
approximates market value. All investments are entirely insured
or collateralized with U.S.'Government Securities and are
considered cash equivalents.
1. The City's investments are categorized to give an
indication of the level of risk assumed by the City at
year end. The City's investments are all category 1 which
means that the investments are insured or registered or the
securities are held by the City or its agent in the City's
name.

including 30 of gross wage in employee contributions and 3% of
gross wage in contributions from the City are invested with an
investment manager. The employees must have accumulated one
year of service to participate in the plan. The plan is a
single employer plan with the City maintaining fiduciary
responsibility for it. Contributions for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1991 were $59,156 and are expected to remain

4. PENSION PLANS (Continued)
The policemen are covered under a defined benefit plan
established by the statutes of the State of Nebraska.Policemen
terminating before retirement age receive payment for their
contributions to date of termination plus interest accrued and
vested portion of the City's contributions based on the
statutes of the State of Nebraska. The City has fiduciary
responsibility for the plan and it is a single employer plan
only. Current year contributions of $36,554 were 120 of gross
wages which, compiles with statutory requirements. The City
contributed 60 of gross wages and the policemen contributed
60. The City has no material pension benefit obligations as
of January 1, 1990, per Actuarial Report dated November 7,

level from year to year.
During the year ended July 31, 1984, the City transferred
police pension funds to an independent trustee for investment.

were reported as an expenditure during the year ended July 31,
1991.

Honorable Mayor and Members

City of Blair, Nebraska
Dear Gentlemen:
November 6, 1991
RESIDENCE:
(402) 468-5253
OFFICE:
(402) 426-4080
I have audited the general purpose financial statements of
the City of Blair, Nebraska for the year ended July 31, 1991, and
have issued my report thereon dated November 6, 1991. My audit
was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;
the standards for financial and compliance audits contained in the
Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs,
Activities, and Functions, issued by the U.S. General Accounting
Office; the Single Audit Act of 1984; and the provisions of OMB
Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments and
accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as I considered necessary in the
circumstances. The management of the City of Blair, Nebraska is
responsible for the City's compliance with laws and regulations in
connection with the examination referred to above I selected and
tested transactions and records from non -major federal financial
assistance programs to determine the City's compliance with laws
and regulations non-compliance with which I believe could have a
material effect on the allowability of program expenditures.
The results of my tests indicated that for the transactions
and records tested the City of Blair, Nebraska compiled with the
laws and regulations referred to above. My testing was more
limited than would be necessary to express an opinion on whether
the City of Blair, Nebraska had administered those programs in
compliance with in all material respects with laws and regulations
non-compliance with which I believe could have a material effect
on the allowability of program expenditures. However, with
respect to the transactions that were not tested by me nothing
came to my attention to indicate that the City of Blair, Nebraska
had violated and laws and regulations.

November 6, 1991 (402) 426-4080
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Blair, Nebraska
Dear Gentlemen:
I have audited the general purpose financial statements of
the City of Blair, Nebraska for the year ended July 31, 1991, and
have issued my report thereon dated November 6, 1991. As part of
my examination I have made a study and evaluation of the syster['of
internal accounting control of the City of Blair, Nebraska to the
extent I considered it necessary to evaluate the system as
required by generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards for financial compliance audits contained in the U.S.
% General Accounting Office Standards for Audits of Governmental
Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions. For the
purpose of this report, I have classified the significant internal
accounting controls in the following categories:
Accounting Controls Administrative Controls
Cycles of the Entities' Activity
Treasury or financing
Revenue/receipts
Purchases/disbursements
External financial reporting
Financial Statement Captions
Cash and cash equivalents
Receivables
Inventory
Property and equipment
Payables and accrued liabilities

The purpose of my study and evaluation was to determine the
nature, timing, and extent. of the auditing procedures necessary
for expressing an opinion on the entities financial statements.
My study and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary
to express an opinion on the system of internal. accounting control
taken as a whole or on any of the categories of controls
identified above.
The management of the City of Blair, Nebraska is responsible
for establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting
control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives
of a system are to provide management with reasonable but not
absolute assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are executed
in accordance with management's authorization and recorded
properly to prevent the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because
of inherent limitations on any system of internal accounting
controls errors or irregularities may never the less occur and not
be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the system to
future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of
compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
My study and evaluation made for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph would not necessarily disclose
all material weaknesses in the system. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the system of internal accounting.control of
the City of Blair, Nebraska taken as a whole or on any of the
categories of controls identified in the first paragraph.

However, my study and evaluation disclosed the following
conditions that I believe result in more than a relatively low
risk the errors and irregularities in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial statements of the City of
Blair, Nebraska may occur and not be detected within a timely
period. The City of Blair does not have adequate segregation of
duties.
These conditions were considered in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of the audit tests to be applied in my
examination of the 1991 financial statements and this report does
not affect our report on the financial statements dated November
6, 1991.
This report is intended solely for the use of management and
the applicable cognizant agency and should not be used for any
other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the
distribution of this report, which upon acceptance by the
cognizant agency is a matter of public record.
