ACCOUNTANTS' OPINION
December 5, 1979
Honorable James P. Nix, Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fairhope, Alabama
MEMBER, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have examined the consolidated and individual statements of financial
position of the General Government, General Fund and the 1977-1978 Public Improve-
ment Assessment Fund, the statement of general fixed assets and the statement of
general long term debt of the City of Fairhope, Alabama as of September 30, 1979
and 1978 and the related statements of revenue and expenditures and statements of
changes in fund balance for the years then ended. Our examination was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included
such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we con-
sidered necessary in the circumstances.
The accompanying financial statements do not include the assets and
liabilities or operating results of the Utility Funds and Recreation Fund of the
City of Fairhope, Alabama.
In our opinion the accompanying financial statements referred to above
present fairly the financial position of the General Government of the City of
Fairhope, Alabama at September 30, 1979 and 1978 and the results of its operations
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to governmental entities, on a basis consistently applied.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1979
NOTE 1 SLT.%MRY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
in the preparation of these financial statements.
A. Basis of accounting
The accounts of the General Fund are maintained and the
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a
modified accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis,
expenditures other than accrued interest on general long
term debt are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred
and revenues are generally recorded when received in cash,
except for certain revenues which are accrued when earned.
B. The financial statements of the General Fund do not include
the financial statements of the Utility Fund, the Recreation
Fund or the Library Board Fund of the City of Fairhope.
C. Valuation of fixed assets
Capital acquisitions by the General Fund are recorded as
an expenditure of the fund in the year of purchase. The
asset is then recorded at cost in the General Fixed asset
accounts. No provision is made for depreciation of fixed
assets. Retired assets are removed at their respective costs.
D. Proceeds of long term loans
Proceeds of long term loans are recorded as an increase of
the fund balance in the year of the loan. The liabilities,
however, are carried in a separate Long Term Debt Fund. The
cost of debt service, both interest and principal retirement,
is charged as an expenditure in the year of payment.
E. Retirement plan
The City has a funded contributory retirement plan available
to substantially all employees after specified periods of service
and attainment of minimum age requirements. Annual contributions
to the plan for current and past service costs are based on
acturial estimates of the plan trustee, New England Mutual Life
Insurance'Company. Contributions to the plan are accrued and
expensed during the year in which the liability is incurred.
Past service costs are being amortized over a 30 year period.

NOTE 3 CASH IN BANK (continued)
Cash in the gasoline tax and Federal revenue sharing accounts can be
expended only for purposes approved by Federal and State regulations. Expendi-
tures from these restricted accounts for the period covered by the accompanying
statements were, in our opinion, in accordance with applicable regulations.
The City of Fairhope's Federal revenue sharing funds and Federal anti
recession funds received in fiscal years ended September 30, 1979 and 1978 were
expended to the Fairhope Public Library Board for operating and maintenance of the
Fairhope Public Library.
NOTE 4 1977-1978 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT FUND
The 1977-1978 Public Improvement Assessment Fund was initiated to
accumulate the cost of paving and water and sewer improvements and to assess
and, collect assessments on the completed project. A portion of the project was
still under construction at September 30, 1979.
Property owners are assessed for their share of the cost. Also, on
completion of the project the cost of the street paving is transferred to the
General Fixed Assets Fund and the water and sewer improvements are transferred
to the Water and Wastewater Fund.
NOTE 5 GENERAL OBLIGATION LONG TERM DEBT
The general obligation refunding, recreational and various purposes
warrants and general obligation public improvement bonds are general obligations
of the City of Fairhope, Alabama and are secured by a pledge of its full faith
and credit.
The general obligation 'recreational warrants and interest are being re-
tired with the funds from the Recreation Capital Improvement Fund in the Recreation
Fund.
The general obligation public improvement bonds and $224,700 of the
general obligation various purpose warrants principal and interest are being
retired with funds from the 1977-1978 Public Improvement Assessment Fund.
On December 28, 1978 the City issued $535,000 of general obligation
various purpose warrants for the purpose of constructing certain street and water
and sewer improvements,.repairing storm damage to streets, purchase certain equip-
ment, purchase a garbage transfer station and to construct improvements to the
City's electric system.
On February 6, 1979 the City issued $400,000 of general obligation public
improvement warrants for the purpose of retiring a general obligation note payable
of $400,000 which was incurred to provide interim financing for construction of
street and water and sewer improvements.

NOTE 6 EXTRAORDINARY LOSSES:
Flood disaster - On July 26, 1978 the City experienced a severe
and damaging rainfall. Flooding caused extensive damage'to
City streets and utility systems. City estimates as to the cost
of street systems repairs total approximately $300,000. Eighty
per cent of qualifying expenditures for repairs will be reimbursed
by Federal disaster assistance. Approved assistance commitments
reflect that most of the City's street repairs will qualify for
reimbursement. All repair costs were recorded in the period in-
curred and Federal reimbursement was accrued at eighty per cent
of those costs, which were considered to qualify for reimbursement.
Hurricane disaster - On September 12 and 13, 1979 the City sustained
considerable damage to its utility systems, buildings and recreational
facilities when Hurricane Frederic struck the area. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency is to reimburse the City for all un-
insured costs related to restoring the City's utility systems,
buildings and certain other facilities to their pre -hurricane
condition.
All repair costs were recorded in the period incurred and Federal
reimbursement accrued in the amounts approved on the assistance
commitments. FEMA is reimbursing the City for direct costs and
some overhead expenses.
NOTE 7 LITIGATION
The City of Fairhope is involved as a defendent, in several 'cases.
In the opinion of legal counsel for the City, the ultimate outcome of these
pending proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on its financial
statements.

THE UTILITY FUNDS OF THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
. SEPTEMBER 30, 1979
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounts of the Utility Funds are maintained and the accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Property, plant and equipment - Additions, improvements and renewals
are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, as
incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Retired plant and equipment are removed
from the accounts at their respective costs.
Receivables from utility customers - The electric fund purchases, at
face value, the utility receivables of the natural gas fund and the water and
wastewater fund. Purchase is made at the time customers are billed.
Inventories - Materials and supplies inventories are valued at cost and
consist largely of items to be used to construct and maintain utility plant.
Debt expense and discount - Issuance and discount expenses on long term
debt are deferred and amortized, on the bonds outstanding method, over the terms
of the related issues.
Contributions in aid of construction - Non refundable payments from
customers and governmental agencies for the purpose of construction of utility
plant, to which the City retains title, are capitalized, with no effect on
revenues.
Deferred charges - Expenditures for operation and maintenance which will
benefit future periods are amortized over the periods benefited.
Retirement plan - The City has a funded contributory retirement plan
available to substantially all employees after specified periods of service and
attainment of minimum age requirements. Annual contributions to the plan for
current and past service costs are based on acturial estimates of the plan trustee,

Flood disaster - On July 26, 1978 the City experienced a severe and
damaging rainfall. Flooding caused extensive damage to City streets
and utility systems. City estimates as to the cost of utility
systems repairs total approximately $130,000. Eighty per cent of
qualifying expenditures for repairs will be reimbursed by Federal
disaster assistance. Approved assistance commitments reflect that
most of the City's utility repairs will qualify for reimbursement.
All repair costs are being recorded in the period incurred and
assistance reimbursement accrued at 80 per cent of those costs
considered to be qualified expenditures.
Hurricane disaster - On September 12 and 13, 1979 the City sustained
considerable damage to its utility systems, buildings and recreational
facilities when Hurricane Frederic struck the area. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency is to reimburse the City for all un-
insured costs related to restoring the City's utility systems,
buildings, etc. to their pre hurricane condition.
All repair costs are being recorded in the period incurred and
assistance reimbursement accrued in the amounts approved based
on assistance commitments. FEMA is reimbursing the City for
direct costs and some overhead expenses.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have examined the statement of assets, liabilities and fund
balances of the Fairhope Public Library as of September 30, 1979 and 1978
and the related statements of changes in fund balance and cash receipts and
cash disbursements for the years then ended. Our examination was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly include
such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures"as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
The accompanying statements were prepared on the cash basis of
accounting.
In our opinion, the aforementioned statements present fairly the
assets, liabilities and fund balance of the Fairhope Public Library at
September 30, 1979 and 1978, arising from cash transactions and the revenues
collected and expenditures made by it during the years then ended on a con-
sistent basis.
