Honorable Mavor and Members
of the City Council
City of Blair, Nebraska
Gentlemen:
We have examined the combined financial statements of the
City of Blair, Nebraska as of and for the year ended July 31,
1983 as listed in the foregoing table of contents. Our exami-
nation was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
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.
In our opinion, except for the omission of accrual basis
budgetary comparisons required by generally accepted accounting
principles, the financial statements listed in the aforementioned
table of contents present fairly the financial position of the
City of Blair at July 31, 1983, and the results of its opera-
tions, changes in fund balance for all fund types and changes in
financial position for all proprietary fund types for the year
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis.
Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an
opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole.
The statements of individual funds and supporting schedules
listed in the foregoing table of contents are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
auditing procedures applied in the examination of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF BLAIR, NEBRASKA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. 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 recog-
nized 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,
B. 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.
C. Inventory:
Inventory is stated at
first -out) or market value,
finished goods.
D. Property:
the lower of cost (first -in,
All the inventory is
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
include -d 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 all other funds are recorded as expen-
ditures 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,

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
E. 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.
2. RESTRICTED ASSETS
Restricted assets consist primarily of cash, certificates
of deposit and savings accounts. The assets are restricted
as follows:
Held in trust per bond requirements $223,510
Bond and interest sinking funds 599,466
Utility deposit funds 57.228
Total restricted assets $880.204
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
The City entered into an agreement with the City of Blair
Library Building Corporation on October 1, 1975 to lease a
library building which was constructed by the Building
Corporation with proceeds from the sale of bonds. The City
is required to make payments under the terms of the lease in
amounts equal to the interest and bond principal payments of
the bonds issued by the Building Corporation. At the end of
the lease term title to the building will be conveyed to the
City. The transaction has been treated as a purchase with
the present value of the remaining lease payments recorded as
a liability in the general long-term debt group of accounts.
General long-term debt, excluding bonds, consists of the
following:
Lease payable
10/1/75 6.00-7.00%
Land contract payable
9/1/82 12%

4. PENSION PLANS
The City has two pension plans covering substantially all
of its employees. Employees other than policemen are covered
by a defined contribution plan. All contributions required
including 3% of gross wage in employee contributions and 3%
of gross wage in contributions from the City are invested
with the Travelers Insurance Company. The employees must
have accumulated two years 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, 1983 were $17,267 and are
expected to remain relatively level from year to year.
The policemen are covered under a defined benefit plan
established by the statutes of the State of Nebraska.
Current expenditures are made to policemen terminating before
retirement age for their contributions to date of termination
only. The City has fiduciary responsibility for the plan and
it is a single employer plan only. Current year contri-
butions of $9,926 were 6% of gross wage which complies with
statutory requirements. At September 1, 1980 an actuarial
study reflected an overfunding in the plan of 172%. However,
the City expects the contributions to remain relatively level
from year to year.

5. INSURANCE FUND
The City employees can participate in the City's group
health insurance. The policies provide that the first
$12,500 of employee medical expenses be self-insured. The
City deposits money on employees' behalf to the insurance
fund to build adequate funds to self -insure for the first
$12,500 and also pay the premiums for the insurance that
covers claims over this amount. The insurance fund is an
accounting of these deposits and the City has a fiduciary
responsibility for the maintenance of the funds.
6. PURCHASED POWER AND CAPACITY SALES AGREEMENT
In April 1977 the Board of Public Works entered into two
contracts with the Omaha Public Power District. Under the
terms of the agreements, the Board is restricted to selling
the capacity of the existing electrical generating facilities
only to Omaha Public Power District at an established
contractual rate. The Board continues to own the existing
facilities and provides the personnel to operate them but
must operate them only when and as specified by the Omaha
Public Power District and is required to purchase all of its
electric power requirements from the Omaha Public Power
District. The term of the agreements is five years and is
automatically renewable unless canceled by either party with
three years advance notice.

"Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Blair
Blair, Nebraska 68008
Gentlemen:
In connection with our examination of the financial state-
ments of the various funds and account groups of the City of
Blair as of July 31, 1983, we have made a review of accounting
procedures and internal control. While the primary objective of
such a review is to afford us a basis of determining the scope of
our audit procedures, it nevertheless presents us with an
opportunity to submit, for management's consideration,
suggestions for changes in procedures which, in our opinion,
would strengthen internal control or contribute to the improve-
ment of operating efficiency.
The comments in this letter are based upon observations made
in the course of such review. The review was not designed for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on internal accounting
control, and it would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in
the system. The matters discussed herein were considered during
our examination of the above-mentioned financial statements, and
they did not modify the opinion expressed in our report on those
financial statements. However, we offer for your review the
suggestions, as noted on the following pages and our proposed
solution thereto.
Please indicate in the "Action Taken" column of the letter,
what corrective measures the City intends to implement with
regard to each comment, and return an annotated copy of the
letter to us.
If you have any questions regarding these or any other
matters, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
BUESING DeSMET & ASSOCIATES
F
Dean DeSmet
SECTION A
MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN INTERNAL
ACCOUNTING CONTROLS (MATTERS REQUIRING
CORRECTIVE ACTION)
NONE - (Considering the fact that this
review was not designed for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on internal
accounting control as explained in
paragraph two of or letter)
-1-
SECTION B
OTHER CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND INTERNAL
ACCOUNTING CONTROL
RECONCIIIATION OF COMPUTER ACCOUNTS _ACTION TAKEN
The implementation of the
computerized accounting system for the
City is complete. The system provides for
double entry accounting and provides
reports needed by the City. The
accounting personnel must rely on these
records and be able to support them.
Monthly reconciliation of computer
balances are needed in order for the
accounting personnel to completely rely
upon these computer balances. These
reconciliations are simply a comparison of
an outside record such as a bank statement
or an internally prepared subsidiary
record to the general computer control
balance. These reconciliations are not
being completed for all the necessary
computer accounts. We recommend that the
City review its reconciliation procedures
and modify them so that computer balances
are adjusted monthly so that the detail
and computer balance agree. We have
provided the specific computer accounts
that need this reconciliation to the City
Administrator and the City Clerk and we
understand that steps are being taken to
correct the above problems at the date of
this letter.
-2-
TAX RECEIPTS
ACTION TAKEN
The Washington County Treasurer's
office collects the tax revenues for the
City of Blair and then each month pays
them to the City. The receipts are
accompanied by a letter indicating the
type of taxes collected for the month.
This letter, however, does not give
adequate detail as to which fund, e.g.
general, debt service, etc., to which
receipts apply. Without further
contacting the County Treasurer, this
makes an accurate accounting of County
receipts by fund impossible. We suggest
that the City Clerk request the County
Treasurer to provide a letter with all
receipts that itemizes all receipts by
fund. We understand this also has been
acted on as of the date of this letter.
WORD IN PROCESS ADJUSTMENTS
The City of Blair does certain
projects for customers through its utility
department for a fee. A work order is
completed for each project with all the
necessary material and overhead charges
accumulated. When the project is
completed and the charges are billed to
the customer an accounting adjustment is
necessary to move the accumulated charges
out of the work in process account.
Presently, the charges are adjusted out of
the work in process account to the plant
in service account where they are
depreciated over a 25 to 40 year life. We
later remove these entries from the "plant
in service" account by way of an audit
adjustment.
We recommend that the charges be adjusted
to a cost of goods sold account rather
than the asset account to provide a better
matching of project sales and project
costs in the period sold.
-3-
SECTION C
APPENDIX - OBJECTIVE OF INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROL
The objective of internal accounting control is to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the safeguarding of
assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and the
reliability of financial records for preparing financial state-
ments and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of
internal accounting control should not exceed the benefits
derived and also recognizes that the evaluation of these factors
necessarily requires estimates and judgments by management.
There are inherent limitations that should be recognized in
considering the potential effectiveness of any system of internal
accounting control. In the performance of most control
procedures, errors can result from misunderstanding of
instructions, mistakes of judgment, carelessness, or other
personal factors. Control procedures whose effectiveness depends
upon segregation of duties can be circumvented by collusion.
Similarly, control procedures can be circumvented intentionally
by management either with respect to the execution and recording
of transactions or with respect to the estimates and judgments
required in the preparation of financial statements. Further,
projection of any evaluation of internal accounting control to
future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the
degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
