March 25, 2010 TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA: The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Mobile, Alabama (the City) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 is hereby presented to you. The CAFR is provided to give detailed information about the financial position and activities of the City to its citizens, City Council, City staff and other readers. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City of Mobile management. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to present fairly the fmancial position and results of operations of the City as a whole and the various funds of the City. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities have been included. Alabama state law requires an annual audit of the City's financial statements by independent certified public accountants who must conduct the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The accounting firm of Banks, Finley, White & Co., conducted the audit and their report on the City's basic financial statements is included herein. The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and the U. S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, "Audits of State and Local Governments," The audit has been performed and the separately issued Single Audit Report is available for review at the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors' report. It provides a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. PROFILE OF THE CITY 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

P. O. BOX 1827· MOBILE, ALABAMA 36633-1827

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 and seven-member council form of government, with the council members elected by district. Responsibility for day-to-day operations of the City rests with the Mayor. Various council committees also work closely with the Mayor and department heads. 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. ECONOMIC CONDITION Along with the rest of the country the City faced an economic slowdown in 2009. Although unemployment doubled in the area between September 2008 and September 2009 (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics) and sales tax revenues declined, the City has been able to maintain services and avoid layoffs due to the hard work and dedication of its current employees.

This year Forbes.com listed Mobile as one of the "10 Best Cities for Recession Recovery" for mediumsized cities. To find the 10 cities that look best poised for recovery Forbes.com examined estimates from data provider Moody’s Economy.com of the projected gross domestic product of metropolitan areas across the U.S., as well as unemployment figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and home prices, incomes and affordability data from the National Association of Home Builders. ThyssenKrupp Steel USA, LLC continues to construct a multibillion dollar state-of-the-art carbon steel processing facility in north Mobile County, Alabama. The plant is expected to begin operation in 2010 and when fully operational will create 2,700 jobs. Mobile has always been a center of maritime activity and on April 9, 2009 held a groundbreaking ceremony for GulfQuest, an interactive maritime museum on the downtown waterfront expected to open in 2011. This museum will “celebrate the historical, economic and cultural significance of 'America’s Sea' and its coastal region.” Austal USA continues to be a key player in our current shipbuilding history. Austal builds large aluminum vessels, including everything from high-speed passenger ferries to dinner cruise yachts. Austal delivered its 121 metre Littoral Combat Ship LCS-2 “Independence” to the Navy at a commissioning ceremony on January 16, 2010. Also, in January 2010 the U S Navy awarded Mobile’s Austal USA shipyard $204.2 million for two Joint High Speed Vessels which will create 500 additional jobs in the area. Austal USA also built a new Modular Manufacturing Facility, completed in July 2009 and is currently building an Administrative Building that will accommodate 400 employees and be completed in June 2010. Mobile’s original cruise ship Holiday was replaced by the Fantasy which is 158 feet longer and carries 42% more passengers. It is expected that 17,000 passengers will travel through the port of Mobile. The conversion to the larger ship required the installation of a new gangway at the Alabama Cruise Terminal during the year. In the quality of life category, Mobile Regional Senior Community Center was opened in November 2008. The center includes state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a thermal plunge pool, a billiards room, three multipurpose activity rooms, a full kitchen and café and a computer lab. For sports events, Ladd-Peebles Stadium was renovated during the year in anticipation of the University of South Alabama’s inaugural football season which began September 5, 2009. A $2.5 million project added eleven luxury skybox suites to the 41,000 seat stadium. Unity Point Park was constructed during the year and showcases the work of Mayor Joseph Langan and civil rights leader John LeFlore. The Bring Back Broad Street Project is a step closer with this project and the boulevard and landscaping south of Government Street. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING Moody’s Investor Service and Standard and Poor’s maintained the City’s bond ratings to A1 and AAwhich had been upgraded in 2008. This reflected the city’s financial position, a growing economic base and positive economic development trends. In addition to new and expanding industry in and around the city, citizens in the Theodore and Windmill place subdivision voted to be annexed. These annexations provided a broader tax base for the City along with increasing the City’s service area.

iii

MAJOR INITIATIVES Subsequent to year end the City borrowed $23 million for the construction of GulfQuest Maritime Museum, a parking facility and a fire station. The City also refinanced $56 million in debt from a 2002 bond issue. Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, a new type of bond created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) were used to finance these government projects with economic development outcomes. This program allocates the authority to issue bonds and sell tax credits to bond and tax credit investors in order to finance economic development activities; it is not a direct funding program that allocates public dollars. The City of Mobile used the funds to help finance projects in 2009. In addition to the Recovery Zone Bonds we participated in the new Build American Bonds. Traditionally, tax-exempt bonds provide a critical source of capital for state and local governments, but the recession has sharply reduced their ability to finance new projects. Supplementing this existing market, the Build America Bond program was designed to provide a federal subsidy for a larger portion of the borrowing costs of state and local governments than traditional tax-exempt bonds in order to stimulate the economy and encourage investments in capital projects in 2009 and 2010. At the election of the state and local governments, the Treasury Department will make a direct payment to the state or local governmental issuer in an amount equal to 35 percent of the interest payment on the Build America Bonds. As a result of this federal subsidy payment, state and local governments will have lower net borrowing costs and will be able to reach more sources of borrowing than with more traditional tax-exempt or tax credit bonds. 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, 2009 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 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. iv

Part II Financial Section

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This section of the City of Mobile’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) presents City management’s discussion and analysis of the City’s financial performance during the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2009. Please read this in conjunction with the City’s financial statements, which follow this section, and the additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of the CAFR. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 





 



The assets of the City of Mobile exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $415.1 million (net assets). Of this amount the City had a deficit in unrestricted net assets of $64.0 million offset by $13.3 million in restricted net assets and $465.8 million in capital assets net of related debt. The City’s total net assets increased $39.2 million, or 10.4%, as a result of this year’s operations. While net assets of our governmental activities increased $43.0 million, or 16.0%, the net assets of our business-type activities decreased $3.8 million, or 3.5%. At the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $78.6 million. This was a decrease of $44.6 million (36.2%) from the prior year. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund balance for the General fund was $4.5 million, a decrease of 73.4% from the prior year. The City's only bond issue during the year was for the purchase of copy machines and amounted to $569,000 with 3.84% interest payments due semi-annually and maturing on August 15, 2012. Sales and use tax, the City’s single largest revenue source, declined $7.6 million or 5.2% from the prior year. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements consist of four parts: management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and the narrative notes to the financial statements and the required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City’s finances.  

The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both longterm and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status. The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual elements of the City government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the governmentwide statements.  The governmental funds statements tell how general government services like public safety were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending.  Proprietary funds statements offer short- and long-term financial information about the activities the government operates like businesses such as the cruise terminal.

3

The financial statements also include narrative notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. To assess the overall economic health of the City, additional non-financial factors, such as changes in the City’s tax base, planning and zoning actions, and the condition of the City’s roads and other infrastructure should be considered. USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT 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 government wide 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 78. 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.

4

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. • 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 $415.1 million. This is a $39.2 million increase over last year's net assets of $375.9 million. The following table provides a summary of the City's net assets:

The largest portion of the City's net assets (112.2%) 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 (3.2%) 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 invested in capital assets, net of related debt and restricted net assets but unrestricted net assets has a deficit balance of $62.6 million for governmental activities. This deficit arose mainly because of three factors. First, the City has elected to fund its other post-employment benefits (OPEB) obligation on a pay as you go basis. The OPEB expense for the City of Mobile is substantial and increased by $27.8 million during the current fiscal year. Second, due to a sluggish economy, tax revenues have fallen short of amounts originally anticipated. Finally, due to this revenue shortfall, the City has had to use its fund balances to finance daily operations.

6

Also, the unrestricted net assets for business-type activities show a deficit of $1.4 million due primarily to unrestricted deficits at the municipal garage of $3 million and unrestricted deficits at the WAVE Transit of $1.2 million offset by unrestricted net assets at the Mobile Convention Center of approximately $3.2 million. Comparative data is accumulated and presented to assist analysis.

Governmental activities Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $43.0 million. The key elements of this increase are as follows:   

  

Excess expenses over revenue for governmental activities amounted to $239.9 million dollars. Investment earnings amounted to $1.0 million which was a decrease of $2.14 million from the prior year. Tax revenues amounted to $174.1 which was a decrease of $7.63 million during the year primarily due to the decrease in spending by consumers and the current condition of the national economy. Due to an annexation of land in October 2008 the City had capital contributions for adopted streets of $105.1 million. Other revenue amounted to $7.7 million. Transfers out of governmental activities totaled $5 million.

Governmental activity expenses increased over the prior year. Of the $301.99 million of governmental activity expenses, public safety was the largest operating cost, at 37.4% of total costs in 2009. For the government-wide full accrual statements, capital outlay expenses were eliminated and capital assets were reported. Business-type activities Business-type activities decreased the City's total net assets by $3.8 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, 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 below graphs illustrate results of operations.

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 balance of $78.6 million, of which $62.0 million is unreserved, indicating availability for continuing the City's service requirements. The reserved fund balances include $8.0 million committed to encumbrances outstanding at year end, $1.6 million committed for long-term notes receivable, $2.5 million committed to grant administration, $0.7 committed to law enforcement, $3.1 million committed to economic development, and $0.7 million committed to road and bridge repair and construction. The total ending fund balances of governmental funds show a $44.6 million decrease from the prior year. This decrease is due primarily to $22.7 million expenditures for the construction of the Public Safety Complex and for ThyssenKrupp Steel & Stainless plant in the 2008 General Capital Improvements Projects Fund. Additionally, there was a $12.4 million reduction in fund balance in the General Fund. This can be attributed to an unfavorable $7.2 million variance in budgeted revenues and a $3.8 million increase in expenditures resulting primarily from an increase of $3 million in transfers to other funds. There was also a $5.3 million reduction in fund balance in Governmental Funds - Non Major and a $3.2 million reduction in fund balance in the 2006 G.O. Refunding and Capital Projects Fund. 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 $12.4 million. See General Fund Budgetary Highlights and the preceeding paragraph for more information. The Capital Improvements Fund has a fund balance of $24.7 million which includes a net decrease of $0.4 million. The 2006 G.O. Refunding and Capital Projects fund has a fund balance of $4.8 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 $3.2 million as a result of increased capital outlays. 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, 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 decreased by $3.7 million during the current fiscal year. This overall decrease is attributable to decreased subsidization in the current year. 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 $3.4 million from the prior year, primarily due to increases in health benefits paid. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS The deficiency of revenues over expenditures on a budgetary basis during the year was $10.5 million. The following are the main components of the deficiency: • Tax revenue was under expected budgeted amounts by $11.3 million due to a severe slowdown in the local and national economy. • Departmental expenditures were under budget by $.6. There were no changes to anticipated revenues from the original to the final amended budget. The budget for fiscal year 2009 was approximately $202 million. This was an increase of $36 million from the prior year amended budget. Total revenues were approximately $7.2 million under budget while expenditures were $3.3 million over budget. This was due to decreases in tax revenue and increases in nondepartmental expenses. Total revenues included more than $4.1 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, 2009, the City's investment in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation for governmental and business-type activities was $360.8 million and $105.0 million, respectively. The overall increase was $191.8 million or 70.0% from 2008 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, 2009, the City's permissible debt limit exceeded actual debt by approximately $246 million.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING ENTITY Organization 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. Reporting Entity The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States as specified by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, these financial statements present the primary government (the City) and its discretely presented component units, entities for which the government is considered financially accountable. 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 • Mobile Public Library - The Library has its own governing body which is appointed by the Council of the City of Mobile. The City contributes financial support to the Library on an annual basis. The Library's other sources of revenue come from State and Federal financial assistance, other municipalities, Mobile County and user fees. • The Public Park and Recreation Board (Ladd - Peebles Stadium) - The City appropriates funds to the Public Park and Recreation Board for operational and capital outlay purposes. The members of the Board are appointed by the Council of the City of Mobile. The Board's other sources of revenue come from the rental of Ladd – Peebles Stadium. Complete financial statements of the individual component units can be obtained directly from their administrative offices as provided below.

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 governmentwide 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. 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. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. 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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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: General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City and is considered a major governmental fund. All general tax revenue and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to another fund are accounted for in this fund. The general operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds, are paid from the General Fund. Special Revenue Funds - The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. The Special Revenue Funds are considered non-major governmental funds. Special Revenue Funds used by the City are as follows: • Four-cent Gasoline Tax - This fund accounts for tax revenues to be used to pay for street resurfacing. • Five-cent Gasoline Tax - This fund accounts for tax revenues to be used to pay the cost of construction, improvement, maintenance and supervision of highways, bridges and streets, including the retirement of bonds for the payment of which such revenues have been or may hereafter be pledged. • Seven-cent Gasoline Tax - This fund accounts for tax revenues to be used to pay the cost of electricity for street lights and the cost of operating the concrete and storm sewer maintenance, street sweeping, street repair, ditch cleaning, pipe-laying and heavy equipment departments. • Fuel Inspection Fees - This fund accounts for a special inspection fee levied by the State of Alabama to be used for street improvements and City planning purposes. • Economic Development - This fund is used to account for activities funded by recaptured funds from refinanced second mortgages for economic development planning from the Mobile Housing Board. • Tax Increment - This fund is used to account for revenues generated by tax collections under the Tax Increment Financing Plan and used to pay for redevelopment projects in the downtown area. Debt Service Funds - These funds are non-major governmental funds used to account for assets held for the repayment of principal and interest on the City's outstanding bond issues. Debt service funds used by the City are as follows: 39

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) • 2008-C General Obligation Capital Improvement Projects - This fund is used for certain capital improvement projects of the City. Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds are used to account for the City's ongoing organizations and activities which are similar to those often found in the private sector. The measurement focus is based upon determination of net income. Revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Operating revenues shown for proprietary operations generally result from producing or providing goods and services. Operating expenses for these operations include all costs related to providing the service or product. All other revenue and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. The City's proprietary funds are as follows: Enterprise Funds - The City has the following nine enterprise funds to account for activities whose operations are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business operations where the intent of the City is that the costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The City has determined that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred and net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control and accountability. • Mobile Civic Center - This major enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the Mobile Civic Center which include activities such as sporting events, social events, musical performances, and theatrical performances. • Mobile Convention Center - This major enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the Mobile Convention Center which includes activities such as business conventions and social events. • WAVE Transit - This major enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the City's public transportation system which derives the majority of its income from passenger fare revenues and various government subsidies. • Alabama Cruise Terminal - This major enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the Alabama Cruise Terminal, a cruise ship homeport, which includes an arrival and departure terminal facility and secured parking facilities. • Municipal Parking Garage - This major enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the Municipal Parking Garage which is rented to the general public on a daily basis. • Azalea City Golf Course - This fund is used to account for the operations of the Azalea City Golf Course which derives revenues from course and cart rental. • Firemedics - This fund is used to account for the operations of the firemedics division which provides ambulance services to the general public. • Tennis Center - This fund is used to account for the operations of the Tennis Center which derives the majority of its income from tennis court rentals. • Affordable Homes Program - This fund is used to account for the operations of the Affordable Homes Program which derives the majority of its income from rental activity.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Internal Service Funds - These funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a cost reimbursement basis. The internal service funds are included in governmental activities for government-wide reporting purposes. The excess revenue or expenses for the funds are allocated to the appropriate functional activity (governmental activities). Excess amounts have not been allocated to any business-type activity since these amounts would be insignificant. The City's internal service funds are as follows: • Motor Pool - This fund is used to account for vehicles and equipment provided and maintained by the Motor Pool for other departments of the City. • Insurance Fund - This fund is used to account for automobile and general liability claims and expenses paid for other departments of the City. • 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.

43

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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. 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. 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. 44

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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. 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 government-wide 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. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. 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.

45

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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 straightline 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. 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.

46

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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." 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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Adoption of new GASB pronouncements: GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations. Issued on December 2006, this Statement requires governments to estimate their expected outlays for pollution remediation if they know a site is polluted and any of the recognition triggers set by the standard occur. The City and its discretely presented component units were not involved in pollution remediation activities that would require a long-term loss contingency accrual, and accordingly did not report any obligations that required a restatement of beginning net assets. GASB Statement No. 55, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments. Issued on March 2009, the objective of this Statement is to incorporate the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for state and local governments into the Governmental Accounting Standards Board's (GASB) authoritative literature. The "GAAP hierarchy" consists of the sources of accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of state and local governmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP, and the framework for selecting those principles. The requirements in this Statement will improve financial reporting by contributing to GASB's efforts to codify all GAAP for state and local governments so they derive from a single source. The Board concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature source. The Board concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the GASB and is issuing this Statement to accomplish that objective. This Statement will make it easier for preparers of state and local government financial statements to identify and apply all relevant guidance. This Statement did not result in a change in current practice. GASB Statement No. 56, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in the AICPA Statements on Auditing Standards. Issued March 2009, the objective of this Statement is to incorporate into the Governmental Accounting Standards Board's (GASB) authoritative literature certain accounting and financial reporting guidance presented in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statements on Auditing Standards. This Statement addresses three issues not included in the authoritative literature that establishes accounting principles - related party transactions, going concern considerations, and subsequent events. The presentation of principles used in the preparation of financial statements is more appropriately included in accounting and financial reporting standards rather than in auditing literature. This Statement does not establish new accounting standards but rather incorporates the existing guidance (to the extent appropriate in a governmental environment) into the GASB standards. The requirements in this Statement will improve financial reporting by contributing to GASB's efforts to codify all sources of GAAP for state and local governments so that they derive from a single source. This effort is important from the perspective of bringing the authoritative accounting and financial reporting literature together in one place, with that guidance modified as necessary to appropriately recognize the governmental environment and the needs of governmental financial statement users. Future adoption of GASB pronouncements: Future adoption of GASB pronouncements have been issued, but are not yet effective at September 30, 2009

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) GASB Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets. Issued June 2007, the objective of this Statement is to establish accounting and financial reporting requirements for intangible assets to reduce inconsistencies, thereby enhancing the comparability of the accounting and financial reporting of state and local governments. This Statement requires that an intangible be recognized in the statement of net assets only if it is considered identifiable and that it must be treated like capital assets. Additionally, this Statement establishes a specified-conditions approach to recognizing intangible assets that are internally generated. GASB 51 will be effective for the City fiscal year October 1, 2009 - September 30, 2010. GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments. Issued June 2008, the objective of this Statement is to improve the recognition, measurement, and disclosures regarding derivative instruments, thereby improving the understandability of a government's resources available to provide services. Though the changing financial and commodity prices result in changing cash flows and fair values that can be used as effective risk management or investment tools, there is significant exposure to risks and liabilities. Disclosure requirements include the objectives, terms and risks of hedging derivative instruments, a summary of the activity that provides an indication of the location of fair value amounts reported in the financial statements. The City is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that GASB Statement No. 53 will have on its financial statements. GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. Issued February 2009, the objective of this Statement is to improve the usefulness and understandability of governmental fund balance information. This Statement provides more clearly defined categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government's fund balance more transparent. It also clarifies the existing governmental fund type definitions to improve the comparability of governmental fund financial statements and help financial statement users better understand the purposes for which governments have chosen to use particular for financial reporting. GASB 54 will be effective for the City fiscal year October 1, 2010 - September 30, 2011. The City of Mobile will implement the new GASB pronouncements in the fiscal year no later than the required effective date. The City has not yet determined if the above listed new GASB pronouncements will have a significant financial impact to the City or in issuing its financial statements.

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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 3 - CASH, EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued) 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, 2009. At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $72,586,141 and the bank balance was $78,305,395. Included in the bank balances are certificates of deposit totaling $31,881,687. Of the total bank balance, $2,860,885 was covered by Federal Depository Insurance. The remainder of $75,444,510 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, 2009, the City had the following investments:

Money market funds Sweep accounts Certificates of deposit

Fair Value 218,158 11,881,868 31,881,687 $ 43,981,713 $

Weighted Average Maturity (Years) 0.0027 0.0027 0.0612 0.0222

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, 2009, the City's investments in money market accounts are under the SAFE program. 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 single security types. At September 30, 2009, 72% of the City's total investments were invested in certificates of deposit. The City will correct this imbalance in the current current year. Of the City's total investments $218,158 are in Dreyfus Government Cash Funds and $11,881,868 are in sweep accounts at two banks.

NOTE 3 - CASH, EQUITY IN POOLED CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued) 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.

Repayment of principal and interest maturities is made from sales taxes. Also, for governmental activities, compensated absences are generally liquidated by the general fund. 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, 2009, the permissible debt limit exceeded actual debt by approximately $246 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, 2009 totaled $4,155,000.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

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. 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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) 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 16 - 20 years 21 - 25 years

Interest credit 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 2009 were based on 9.20% 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 2009 amounted to $6,838,674 of which $4,260,938 and $2,577,736 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, 2008. 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 2008/09 and 2007/08 were as follows: Plan Year 2008/09

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the annual required contribution at September 30, 2008 include: (a) rate of return on 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, 2008 was 20 years.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) 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 single employer, 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 actuarial1y 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 36633-1827. Participants in the PFFRP are entitled to certain benefits depending upon whether sufficient assets are in the fund to cover the benefits. 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.

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) 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. The minimum required contribution as determined by the Act is the sum of the following amounts: (a) the normal cost for the plan year (determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method); (b) the increasing 30-year amortization payment required to amortize the initial unfunded actuarial accrued determined as of October 1, 1996, which amortization payment is scheduled to increase at the rate of annum; (c) the level-dollar 30-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial liability due to plan changes; (d) the level-dollar 10-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial liability due to assumption and method changes; and (e) the level-dollar five-year amortization payment required to amortize changes in the unfunded actuarial liability due to experience.

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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) At September 30, 2009, 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, 2009, 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, 2009 were $23,218. 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 1-65 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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) 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). 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 unit credit cost 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, 2008. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 5.9% 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, 2008 was 6 years. Trend information for the Annual Required Contribution of the Plan for the current and three previous years are as follows:

Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEBs) The City provides post-employment health care 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 2009, those costs totaled approximately $5,901,520 and the liability for incurred and not paid claims totaled $920,600. 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.

CITY OF MOBILE, ALABAMA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2009

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) 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 2009, retirees have been assumed to make monthly contributions equal to $54 for single coverage and $140 for family coverage. COBRA contributions for the same period have been assumed to be $275 per month for single coverage and $714 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. 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:

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) Funding Status and Funding Progress As of September 30, 2009, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $254,637,000, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $93,574,000 and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 272.1 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.

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.

Deferred Compensation Plans - The City offers its employees a choice of two deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plans, available to all City employees, permit them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. One of the plans is administered by a nongovernmental third party and the other by the Retirement Systems of Alabama. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the plans, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the individuals who participate in the deferred compensation plan and are not subject to the claims of the City's general creditors.

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 $411,804 for fiscal year 2009 is included in the Enterprise Funds - Municipal Parking Garage fund. Also see Note 8 for additional information relating to leased property. 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, 2009. 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.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) 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.

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 $420,000 and $632,341. Consequently, the City has accrued at September 30, 2009, the lesser of the range equal to $420,000. Loss contingencies categorized as "reasonably possible" range between $398,504 and $786,000.

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 $420,000 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, 2009 is $7,298,112. 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, 2009 is $2,114,828. The schedule below presents the changes in claims liabilities for the past two years for the City's selfinsured liabilities:

Claims and judgments, general liability and general and automotive liability 2007-2008 2008-2009 Employee Health 2007-2008 2008-2009 Workers' Compensation 2007-2008 2008-2009

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, 2009, 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 $971,017 reported in the Statement of Net Assets as a landfill postclosure liability at September 30, 2009 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.

NOTE 17 - IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT The City entered into an Irrevocable Letter of Credit on May 14, 2002 with their 2002 Limited Obligation Tax Increment Warrants' Paying Agent in the amount of $11,148,326 for the benefit of the holders of the $10,655,000 City of Mobile, Alabama Limited Obligation Tax Increment Warrants, Series 2002 (Warrants) issued by the City pursuant to an Ordinance duly adopted by the City on May 7, 2002.

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 governemnts 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.
