INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor Thomas Muir
and Members of the City Council
City of Sanger, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Sanger, Texas (the City) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is
to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Sanger, Texas as of
September 30, 2010, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The management’s discussion and analysis, the schedule of funding progress and budgetary
comparison schedule on pages 3 through 11 and 44 through 45, are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited
procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The supplementary information on
pages 46 through 48 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements. This information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
3
The City of Sanger’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis is designed to provide a narrative
overview of the City’s financial activity, and assist the reader in identifying changes in the City’s
financial position. The information presented here should be considered in conjunction with the
City’s financial statements and accompanying footnotes, which can be found on pages 24
through 43 of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The City’s total combined net assets were $19,141,779 at September 30, 2010.
• The General Fund reported a fund balance of $739,010 at September 30, 2010.
• The City’s combined governmental funds reported a fund balance of $5,726,234 at
September 30, 2010.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City
of Sanger’s basic financial statements. This annual report consists of three components:
(1) government-wide financial statements, (2) fund financial statements, and (3) notes to the
financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to
the basic financial statements themselves.
The basic financial statements include two types of statements that present different views of
the City:
• The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both
long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status.
• The two remaining sets of statements are fund financial statements that focus on
individual parts of the government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the
government-wide statements.
o The governmental fund statements tell how general government services were
financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending.
o Proprietary fund statements provide short and long-term financial information
about the activities the government operates like businesses, such as utility
services.
The financial statements also include notes to the financial statements explaining information in
the financial statements and providing more detailed data.
The report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
4
Government-wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the City’s finances in a manner similar to private-sector business. The statements
report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by
private-sector companies.
The statement of net assets includes all of the government’s assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two being reported as net assets. Overtime, increases or decreases in
net assets are an indicator as to whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating. To assess the overall health of the City, additional non-financial factors (such as
the City’s tax base) will need to be considered.
The statement of activities presents information on how the City’s net assets changed during
the fiscal year. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the
statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but not used vacation leave).
Both the statement of net assets and the statement of activities are prepared using the accrual
basis of accounting as opposed to the modified accrual basis of accounting.
In its Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities, the City of Sanger is divided between
two kinds of activities:
• Governmental activities. Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as
general government, public safety, streets, sanitation, and culture and recreation.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, and charges for services finance most of
these activities.
• Business-type activities. A fee is charged to customers by the City to cover the cost of
services it provides. The City’s utility systems (electric, water and wastewater) activities
are reported here.
5
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s most significant
funds and not the City as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep
track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes.
• Some funds are restricted by State law and by bond covenants.
• The City Council establishes guidelines to control and manage money for particular
purposes or to show that it is properly using certain revenue resources.

The City has two categories of funds: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
• Governmental funds. The City’s basic services are included in governmental funds,
which focus on cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash
flow, as well as the balances left at year-end that are available for spending.
Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that
helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent
in the near future to finance the City’s programs. Because this information does not
encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, additional
information is provided on the subsequent pages, explaining the relationship (or
differences) between them. The relationship or differences between governmental
activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and
governmental funds is detailed in a reconciliation following the fund financial statements.
• Proprietary funds (business-type funds). Services for which the City charges customers
a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds, like government-
wide statements, provide both short and long-term financial information. Proprietary
funds are reported in the same manner that all activities are reported in the Statement of
Net Assets and the Statement of Activities.
The notes provide additional information that is essential to understanding the data provided in
the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can
be found on pages 24 through 43 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As of September 30, 2010, the City’s combined net assets were $19,141,779, of which
$8,346,480 can be attributed to governmental activities and $10,795,299 attributed to business-
type activities. This analysis focuses on the net assets (Table 1) and changes in net assets
(Table 2) of the City’s governmental and business-type activities.
Net Assets
Net assets at September 30, 2009, were $18,411,459, representing an increase of $730,320 in
total net assets of governmental and business-type activities. The largest portion of the City’s
net assets (68%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, building, machinery, and
equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City
uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not
available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net
of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be
provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate
these liabilities.

The City’s total revenues for the year ended September 30, 2010, was $14,583,994 with a
significant portion, 72%, of the City’s total revenue coming from charges for services, 16% from
property taxes, 6% from sales taxes, while 6% is obtained from the remaining revenue sources
(see Figure 1). Because Sanger owns an electric utility, revenues from charges for services are
a large percentage of overall revenues. Without the ownership of its electricity utility, the City’s
property tax rate would be approximately ten cents higher per $100 valuation than its current
rate in order to generate the same amount of operating revenue.
Figure 1
Governmental activities revenues total $4,844,648 for the year ended September 30, 2010, of
which $3,759,621 (78%) is attributed to taxes. Significant general governmental expenses
include public safety (police and animal control), which incurred expenses of $1,276,750, and
streets and sanitation, which incurred expenses of $1,260,016.
Business-type activities increased the City’s net assets by $841,982, accounting for all positive
growth in the government-wide net assets in fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
Compared to last year, business-type operating revenues decreased by $31,156 to $9,458,927
for the year ended September 30, 2010, as a result of minimal decreases in both water and
electric revenues. Business-type expenses also decreased in fiscal year ending September 30,
2010 due to a decrease in water and electric expenses, resulting in total business-type activity
expenses of $8,897,364.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows, and balances of resources available to spend. This information is useful in assessing
the financial requirements of the City.
As of September 30, 2010, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund
balance of $5,726,234, a reduction of $275,185 from the previous fiscal year’s balance of
$6,001,419. The decline in fund balance is primarily due to expenditures for infrastructure
improvements. Of this fund balance, $739,010 constitutes unreserved, undesignated fund
balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the
fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has
already been committed to either purchase or construct capital assets ($3,910,024), pay debt
service ($106,546), or enhance economic development ($970,654).
General Fund. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At September 30,
2010, the unreserved and undesignated fund balance of the General Fund was $739,010, an
increase of $193,355 over the prior year. The increase is primarily due to reductions in
spending and not filling nonessential personnel vacancies. The City took a very conservative
approach to purchasing and employment during 2010 because of the depressed economic
conditions.
Capital Projects Fund. The entire balance of the capital projects fund is reserved for capital
construction and acquisition. At September 30, 2010, the capital projects fund has a fund
balance of $3,910,024, a decrease of $486,258 from 2009. At the end of 2010, the City had
invested $24,345,631 in a broad range of capital assets, including land, equipment, buildings,
and vehicles (see Table 3).

Debt Service Fund. The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $106,546 at September
30, 2010, an increase of $10,165 over 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the City had
$15,239,965 in long-term debt (see Table 4).

Proprietary Fund. The City’s proprietary fund provides the same type of information found in
the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Table 5 represents the cost of
each of the City’s business-type activities as well as each function’s net cost (total cost less fees
generated by the activities and intergovernmental aid). The cost of business-type activities for
fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was $8,897,364. The amount for charges for services
that the City’s tax payers paid for these activities was $9,458,927. Excess funds are used by
the City to help support the general fund, keeping the property tax rate from increasing. Excess
funds are also used to fund capital improvements.

Total fund balances - governmental funds 5,726,234$
Net assets of governmental activities 8,346,480$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets
are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial
resources and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds balance
Costs associated with the issuance of governmental long term debt are
expensed when incurred in the fund statements and capitalized and amortized
over the life of the debt in the government-wide financial statements.
Interest payable on long term debt does not require current financial
resources, therefore interest payable is not reported as a liability in the
governmental funds balance sheet.
Revenues earned but not available within sixty days of the year end are not
recognized as revenue on the fund financial statements.

The issuance of long term debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-
term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts,
and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas the amounts are deferred
and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount consists of proceeds
of $0 less repayments of $561,190 plus amortization of debt issuance costs of
$21,123 plus a change in long-term compensated absences payable of
$25,986, which is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-
term debt and related items.
Current year changes in accrued interest payable do not require the use of
current financial resources; therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.
Certain revenues in the government-wide statement of activities that do not
provide current financial resources are not reported as revenue in the
governmental funds.
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount of capital assets recorded in the current period.
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the statement of
activities and does not require the use of current financial resources.
Therefore, depreciation expense is not reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds.
Governmental funds recognize all amounts received on the sale of fixed
assets as a gain. However, in the statement of activities, the gain or loss is
offset by the remaining net book value of the asset.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Sanger (the City) was incorporated in 1886. The City operates under a Council-
Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its
charter: general government, police and fire protection, emergency ambulance services,
highways and streets, water and wastewater operations, electricity operations, and public
improvements.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the
accompanying basic financial statements conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America applicable to state and local governments.
Generally accepted accounting principles for local governments include those principles
prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the publication entitled Audits of State and Local
Governmental Units and by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable).
As allowed in Section P80 of GASB’s Codification of Governmental Accounting and
Financial Reporting Standards, the City has elected not to apply Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions,
and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after
November 30, 1989. The more significant accounting policies of the City are described
below.
Financial Reporting Entity
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
these financial statements include the primary government and organizations for which
the primary government is financially accountable and other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that
exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or
incomplete.
The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial
accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations
that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate
organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body
and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the
organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial
burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially
accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it.
A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can
significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services
performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship
exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is
legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or
provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the
debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because
of their fiscal dependency on the primary government.
CITY OF SANGER, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Financial Reporting Entity – Continued
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt
its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the
primary government. Complete financial statements for the individual component units
may be obtained at the City’s office.
The following entities were found to be component units of the City and are included in
the accompanying financial statements:
Blended Component Unit (4A) - The Sanger Texas Industrial Development
Corporation (STIDC) is governed by a board of five directors, all of whom are
appointed by the City Council of the City of Sanger and any of whom can be

Basis of Presentation
The government-wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the City. The effect of
interfund activity within the governmental and business-type activities columns has been
removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Fund Financial Statements
The City segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate
funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance.
Separate statements are presented for governmental and proprietary activities. These
statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial
statements; all non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a single column.
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions
typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources,
uses and balance of current financial resources. The City has presented the following
major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City. This fund is used to
account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax
revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement
to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures,
fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds
are paid from the General Fund.
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial
resources for the payment of principal, interest and related costs on general
long-term debt paid primarily from taxes levied by the City. The fund balance of the
Debt Service Fund is reserved to signify the amounts that are restricted exclusively
for debt service expenditures.
Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for
the construction and renovation of thoroughfares, arterial streets and drainage
improvements in the City and construction, renovation, expansion and major
improvement of various City facilities, acquisition of land and other large
nonrecurring projects.
4A and 4B Funds
The 4A and 4B Funds are to account for sales tax revenues collected for the
purposes set forth by the Sanger Economic Development Corporation.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Fund Financial Statements – Continued
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. The accounting objectives are determinations of
net income, financial position and cash flow. All assets and liabilities are included on the
Statement of Net Assets. The City has presented the following major proprietary fund:
Water, Sewer and Electric Fund
The Water, Sewer and Electric Fund is the primary operating fund for water, sewer
distribution and electric. It also accounts for all financial resources of the City
concerning water, sewer and electric sales. Its activity is financed with debt secured
by a pledge of the net revenues and has the requirement that the cost of providing
services, including capital costs, be recovered by user fees and charges.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing
operations. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost of personal
and contractual services, supplies and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to
when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the
financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement
made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds are
reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and
liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the statement of net assets
and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses)
in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when earned, including unbilled water and wastewater services which are accrued.
Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available.
Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available
means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period. The City considers receivables collected within sixty days
after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
CITY OF SANGER, TEXAS
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting – Continued
However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.
The revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise fees, licenses,
charges for service, interest income and intergovernmental revenues. Sales taxes
collected and held by the state at year end on behalf of the government are also
recognized as revenue. All other governmental fund revenues are recognized when
received.
Cash and Investments
Cash of all funds, including restricted cash, are pooled into common pooled accounts in
order to maximize investment opportunities. Each fund whose monies are deposited in
the pooled cash accounts has equity therein, and interest earned on the investment of
these monies is allocated based upon relative equity at month end. An individual fund’s
pooled Cash and Investments are available upon demand and are considered to be
“cash equivalents” when preparing these financial statements. In addition, any
marketable securities not included in the common pooled accounts that are purchased
with a maturity of ninety days or less are also considered cash equivalents.
All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is
the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Government or its
agencies; obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; and contain other obligations,
repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds and certificates of deposits within
established criterion.
Restricted Resources
If both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to
use restricted resources first and unrestricted resources as needed.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied by October 1 on the assessed value listed, as of the prior
January 1 for all real and business person property in conformity with Subtitle E, Texas
Property Tax Code. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and are delinquent if not
paid before February 1 of the year following the year in which imposed. On January 1 of
each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties,
and interest ultimately imposed. Property tax revenues are considered available when
they become due or past due and receivable within the current period. Personal
property taxes not collected by April 1 are forwarded for collection proceedings. Real
property taxes not collected by July 1 are forwarded for collection proceedings.

Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories, which are recognized as expenses as consumed, are stated at cost (first-in,
first-out method). Inventories consist primarily of expendable supplies for the Proprietary
Fund. Prepaid balances are for payments made by the City in the current year to
provide services occurring in the subsequent fiscal year.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-
type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal
balances.
Transactions between Funds
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues and expenditures
or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures or
expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded
as expenditures or expenses in the reimbursing fund and as a reduction of expenditures
or expenses in the fund reimbursed. All other interfund transactions are recorded as
transfers.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets, are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for
proprietary funds. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical
cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair
market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses.
Renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Assets capitalized, not including infrastructure assets, have an original cost of $5,000 or
more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class
of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as
follows:
Buildings and improvements 5-50 years
Machinery and equipment 3-20 years
Infrastructure 10-30 years

Accumulated Vacation, Compensatory Time and Sick Leave
The amounts owed to employees for unpaid vacation and sick leave liabilities, including
the City’s share of employment-related taxes, are reported on the accrual basis of
accounting in the applicable governmental or business-type activity columns of the
government-wide statements and in the enterprise activities of the fund financial
statements. The liabilities and expenditures are reported on the modified accrual basis
in the governmental fund financial statements.
Nature and Purpose of Reservations and Designations of Fund Equity
Reservations of fund balances of the governmental funds indicate the portion of fund
equity that is not available for appropriation for expenditure or is legally restricted by
outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance are the
representations of management for utilization of resources in future periods.
Net Assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested
in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the
acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent
proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on
their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the City or through external
restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain beginning balances have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in
the current-year financial statements.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the
ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by investing mainly in
certificates of deposit which purchase a combination of shorter term investments with an
average maturity of less than 30 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The City
monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average
maturity of its portfolio. The City has no specific limitations with respect to this metric.
As of September 30, 2010, the City had the following investments:
Amount
Certificate of deposit 5,268,471$ 95 days
Investment Type
Weighted Average
Maturity
As of September 30, 2010 the City did not invest in any securities which are highly
sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum
rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the City’s
investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each
investment type.

the City did not have 5% or more of its investments with one issuer.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The
Public Funds Investment Act and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or
policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds
Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local
governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The
market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank
balance less the FDIC insurance at all times.
At September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the City’s cash on hand and deposits
were $3,962,744 and the bank balance was $4,169,438. Of the bank balance, $250,000
was covered by federal depository insurance while the remaining $3,919,438 was
secured with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or
agent in the City’s name.

NOTE 7. PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The City of Sanger provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees through a
non-traditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide Texas
Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), one of 833 administered by TMRS, an agent
multiple-employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that have
been adopted by the City are within the options available in the governing state statutes
of TMRS.
Benefits
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee’s contributions to the plan, with interest,
and City-financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City
granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical
amount equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee with
interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan
began are a percent (100%, 150%, 200%) of the employee’s accumulated contributions.
In addition, the City can grant as often as annually another type of monetary credit
referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when
added to the employee’s accumulated contributions and the monetary credits for service

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7. PENSION PLAN – CONTINUED
Benefits – Continued
since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributions
accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and the City matching
percent had always been in existence and if the employee’s salary had always been the
average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee’s accumulated
contributions with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest were
used to purchase an annuity.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options
available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also
in the statutes. Plan provisions for the City are as follows:
Deposit rate 6%
Matching ratio (City to employee) 2-1
A member is vested after 5 years
Updated service credit 100% repeating, transfers
Annuity increase (to retirees) 0% of CPI repeating
Members can retire at certain ages, based on the years of service with the City. The
Service Retirement Eligibilities for the City are 5 years at 60 years of age or 20 years at
any age.
Contributions
Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined
annually by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate
consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate,
which is calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost
contribution rate finances the portion of an active member's projected benefit allocated
annually; the prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded)
actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for the City. Both the normal cost and
prior service contribution rates include recognition of the projected impact of annually
repeating benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity Increases.
The City contributes to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the
employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its
contribution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between
the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when
the rate goes into effect (i.e., December 31, 2009 valuation is effective for rates
beginning January 2011). The annual pension cost is $187,668 for the year ended
September 30, 2010, and there is no net pension obligation as of September 30, 2010.

League. The City insures its workers compensation risk by participating in the Texas
Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool which is a self-insurance policy mechanism
for political subdivisions in Texas. Rates are set by the State Insurance Board. Each
participant's contribution to the pool is adjusted based on its workers' compensation history.
The City is responsible only to the extent of premiums paid and contributions made to Texas
Municipal League and the Intergovernmental Risk Pool. There have been no significant
changes in insurance coverage as compared to last year and settlements have not
exceeded coverage in each of the past three fiscal years.

various assets of the borrower.
The total amount outstanding on all of the notes payable is $34,151,507 as of
