INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Honorable Mike Robertson, Mayor, and Members of the Board of Aldermen

City of Bunkie, Louisiana

We have audited the accompanying fmancial statements of the govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remainmg fund mformation of the City of Bunkie, Louisiana, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the City's basic fmancial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opmions on these fmancial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards. issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fmancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes exammmg, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, the fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the fmancial position of the govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bunkie, Louisiana, as of June 30, 2010, and the respective changes in fmancial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 23, 2010 on our consideration of the City of Bunkie, Louisiana's intemal control over fmancial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of intemal control over fmancial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the intemal control over fmancial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards and should be considered in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

The required supplementary information on pages 41 through 43 is not a required part of the basic fmancial statements but is supplementary information required by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

The City of Bunkie has not presented management's discussion and analysis that the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board has determined is necessary to supplement, although not required to be part of, the basic fmancial statements.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Bunkie, Louisiana's basic fmancial statements. The other supplementary information on pages 45 through 47 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic fmancial statements. All of the supplementary information, except for the schedule of number of utility customers and the schedule of insurance in force, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic fmancial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in relation to the basic fmancial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of number of utility customers and the schedule of insurance in force have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds

to the Statement of Activifies For the Year Ended June 30, 2010

Total net changes in fund balances at June 30, 2010 per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances $ (372,656)

The change in net assets reported for govemmental activities in the statement of acfivities is different because:

Govemmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. Capital outlay which is considered expenditures on Statement

of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes m Fund Balances. $ 528,007 Depreciafion expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 (183,433) 344,574 .

The net effect of various transactions involving capital assets such as

sales and trade-ins is to increase net assets as a resuh of a gain on

the disposal of capital assets. 11,769

In the statement of activities, only the gain on the sale of capital assets is

reported. However, in the govemmental fiinds, the proceeds from the sale

increase fmancial resources. (28,038)

Govemmental funds report capital lease proceeds as income. However, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activifies. Similarly, the repayment of principal is an expenditure in the

govemmental funds, but reduces the liability in the statement of activities. Less: Proceeds from capital lease (295,928) Add: Principal paid on capital lease expensed in govemmental fijnds 82,700 (213,228)

Net OPEB obligation at June 30, 2010 does not require the use of current economic resources, and therefore, is not recorded as a fund expenditure. (25,542)

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying fmancial statements of the City of Bunkie, Louisiana (City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to govemmental units. GAAP includes all relevant Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. In the govemment-wide fmancial statements and the fund fmancial statements for the proprietary fiinds, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinions on or before November 30, 1989, have been applied unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements, in which case, GASB prevails. The accounting and reporting framework and the more significant accounting policies are discussed in subsequent subsections of this note.

A. Financial Reporting Entity

The City of Bunkie, Louisiana was incorporated under the provisions of Louisiana Law in 1885. The City is governed by its Mayor and a Board of Aldermen consisting of five members.

This report includes all funds that are controlled by or dependent on the City executive and legislative branches (the Mayor and Board of Aldermen). Control by or dependence on the City was determined on the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority, authority to issue debt, election or appointment of goveming body, and other general oversight responsibility.

B. Basis of Presentation

Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS)

The statement of net assets and statement of activities display information about the reporting govemment as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity. The statements distinguish between govemmental and business-type activities. Govemmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovemmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to extemal parties for goods or services.

The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's govemmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or fiinction and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, and (b) grants and confributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.

17

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Fund Financial Statements

The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts. Fund accounting segregates frauds accordmg to theh intended purpose and is used to aid management m demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements.

The various funds of the City are classified into two categories: govemmental and business-type. The emphasis on fimd fmancial statements is on major govemmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. A fimd is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria:

a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that mdividual govemmental or enterprise fiind are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and

b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual govemmental or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all govemmental and enterprise funds combined.

The major funds of the City are described below:

Govemmental Funds -

General Fund

The General Fund is the general operating fimd of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those requu-ed to be accounted for in another fimd.

Special Revenue Fund

Sales Tax Fund -

The Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the proceeds of a one percent sales and use tax tliat is legally restricted to expenditures for constructing, paving, resurfacing, improving and maintaining public streets, sidewalks, and bridges.

The Sales Tax Fund is used also to account for the proceeds of a one half percent sales and use tax that is dedicated and used for general operating purposes.

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISLANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

The Sales Tax Fund is used also to account for the proceeds of a one half percent sales and use tax that is legally restricted to expenditures for paying salaries and related benefits for the police department, fire department and other city employees.

Proprietary Funds -

Enterprise Funds

Enterprise fiinds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the goveming body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the goveming body has decided that periodic determination of revenues eamed, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,. accountability, or other purposes. The City of Bunkie's enterprise fund is the Utility Fund.

C. Measurement Focus/Basis of Accounting

Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to "when" transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied.

Measurement Focus

On the govemment-wide statement of net assets and the statement of activities, both govemmental and business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus as defined in item b. below.

In the fiind financial statements, the "current financial resources" measurement focus or the "economic resources" measurement focus is used as appropriate:

a. All govemmental fimds utilize a "current financial resources" measurement focus. Only current financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fimd balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.

19

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISLANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

b. The proprietary fund utilizes an "economic resources" measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. Proprietary fiind equity is classified as net assets.

Basis of Accounting

In the govemment-wide statement of net assets and statement of activities, both govemmental and business-type activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when eamed 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.

Govemmental fimd financial statements are reported using the current fmancial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the govemment considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures (including capital outlay) generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.

The proprietary fimd utilizes the accrual basis of accountmg. Under the accmal basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when eamed and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used.

D. Assets, Liabilities and Equitv

Cash and interest-bearing deposits

For purposes of the statement of net assets, cash and interest-bearing deposits include all demand accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposits of the City.

20

•?./

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

For the purpose of the proprietary fund statement of cash flows, "cash and cash equivalents" mclude all demand and savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less.

Interfund receivables and payables

Durmg the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds that may result in amounts owed between frinds. Those related to goods and services type transactions are classified as "due to and from other fiinds." Short-term interfiind loans are reported as "interfiind receivables and payables."

Long-term mterfiind loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances fi'om and to other funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within govemmental activities are eliminated in the statement of net assets.

Receivables

In the govemment-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues eamed at year-end and not yet received. Major receivable balances for the govemmental activities include sales and use taxes. Business-type activities report customer's utility service receivables as their major receivables. Uncollectible utility service receivables are recognized as bad debts through the establishment of an allowance account at the time information becomes available which would indicate the uncollectibility of the particular receivable. The allowance for uncollectibles for customers' utility receivables was $7,000 and $7,000 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Unbilled utility service receivables resulting from utility services rendered between the date of meter reading and billing and the end of the month, are recorded at year-end.

Inventories

Purchases of various operating supplies are regarded as expenditures at the time purchased and are valued at cost. Inventories are adjusted at year-end. The first in first out method of inventory valuation is used.

Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastmcture assets, are reported in the applicable govemmental or business-type activities columns hi the govemment-wide fmancial statements. Capital assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated cost if historical is not available. Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their estimated fau- market value at the date of donation. The City maintains a threshold level of $1,000 or more for capitalizing capital assets.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Prior to July 1, 2001, govemmental funds' infrastructure assets were not capitalized.

21

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets 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' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:

Buildings 40 years Equipment 5 years Utility system and improvements 20-40 years Infrastructure 20 years

In the fiind financial statements, capital assets used m govemmental fiind operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the govemmental fiind upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same as in the govemment-wide statements.

Restricted Assets

Restricted assets include cash and interest-bearing deposits of the proprietary fimd that are legally restricted as to their use. The restricted assets are related to the general obligation bond accounts and utility meter deposits.

Long-term debt

The accounting treatment of long-term debt depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the govemment-wide or fiind fmancial statements.

All long-term debt to be repaid from govemmental and business-type resources are reported as liabilities in the govemment-wide statements. The long-term debt consists primarily of the general obligation bonds payable and utility meter deposits payable.

Long-term debt for govemmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund fmancial statements. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principal and interest reported as expenditures. The accounting for proprietary fund long-term debt is the same in the fimd statements as it is in the govemment-wide statements.

Compensated Absences

The City does not accumulate unpaid vacation. Sick pay may be accumulated not to exceed 30 days, however it is not payable upon resignation or termination. Therefore, there is no compensated absences payable at June 30, 2010.

22

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Equity Classifications

In the govemment-wide statements, equity is classified as net assets and displayed in three components:

a. 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, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, constmction, or improvement of those assets.

b. Restricted net assets - Consists of net assets with constraints placed on the use either by (1) extemal groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other govemments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

c. Unrestricted net assets - All other net assets that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of related debt."

In the fimd statements, govemmental fimd equity is classified as fiind balance. Fund balance is further classified as reserved and unreserved, with unreserved further split between designated and undesignated. Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the govemment-wide statements.

Revenues, Expenditures, and Expenses

Operating Revenues and Expenses

Operating revenues and expenses for proprietary fiinds are those that result from providing services and producing and delivering goods and/or services. It also includes all revenue and expenses not related to capital and related financing, noncapital financing, or investing activities.

Expenditures/Expenses

In the govemment-wide financial statements, expenses are classified by function for both govemmental and business-type activities.

23

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISLVNA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

In the fimd financial statements, expenditures are classified as follows:

Govemmental Funds - By Character Proprietary Fund - By Operating and Nonoperating

In the fiind fmancial statements, govemmental fiinds report expenditures of financial resources. Proprietary funds report expenses relating to use of economic resources.

Interfund Transfers

Permanent reallocations of resources between fiinds of the reporting entity are classified as interfund transfers. For the purposes of the statement of activities, all interfund transfers between individual govemmental funds have been eliminated.

F. Revenue Restrictions

Restricted assets represent resources that must be expended in a specific manner. Restrictions of this nature are imposed by various contractual obligations including grant agreements and bond covenants. Whenever restricted assets can be used to satisfy an obligation, the restricted assets are typically consumed before utilizing any unrestricted resources.

G. Budget and Budgetarv Accounting

The City Charter establishes the fiscal year as the twelve-month period beginning July 1. The procedures detailed below are followed in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements.

The Mayor and City Clerk prepare a proposed budget based on an estimate of the revenues expected to be received in the next fiscal year and submits the proposal to the Board of Aldermen. A summary of the proposed Budget is published and the public is notified that the proposed budget is available for public inspection. At the same time, a public hearing is set.

A public hearing is held on the proposed budget at least ten days after publication of the call for the hearing. After the holding of the public hearing and completion of all action necessary to finalize and implement the budget, the budget is adopted through passage of an ordinance prior to the commencement of the fiscal year for which the budget is being adopted.

24

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISLWA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

As required by state law, the budgets are amended whenever projected revenue fails to meet origmal expectations or when projected expenditures exceed original expectations. Budgetary amounts are presented as amended and all budgetary appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

H. Capitalization of Interest Expense

It is the policy of the City of Bunkie to capitalize material amounts of interest resulting from borrowings in the course of the constmction of capital assets in the Proprietary Fund. At June 30, 2010, there were no borrowings for assets under constmction and no capitalized interest expense was recorded on the books.

I. Use of Estimates

The preparation of fmancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fmancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Restatement of Net Assets - June 30, 2009

Grant revenues in the Sewer fund were overstated in June 30, 2009. A grant receivable was recorded in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 the grant revenues were received and the grant receivable should have been reversed. The grant receivable remained on the sewer funds financial statement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 and was not reversed until the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The effect of this error overstated beginning net assets at June 30, 2009 by $103,030 as follows:

Total net assets as previously reported - June 30, 2009 $3,560,574

Grant receivable incorrectly recorded as of June 30, 2009 $ 103,030 Actual grant receivable as of June 30, 2009 -

Adjustment to correct overstatement of grant receivable (103,030)

Total net assets as restated - June 30, 2009 $3,457,544

25

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

(3) Ad Valorem Taxes

Ad valorem taxes are assessed on a calendar year basis and are due on or before December 31 in the year the tax is levied.

Taxes are levied by the City in September or October and are actually billed to taxpayers m November or December. Billed taxes become delmquent on January 1 of the following year. The City bills and collects its own property taxes using the assessed values determined by the tax assessor of Avoyelles Parish. City property tax revenues are budgeted in the year billed.

(14) Post Retirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits

From an accrual accounting perspective, the cost of postemployment healthcare benefits should be associated with the periods in which the cost occurs, rather than in the future year when it will be paid. In adopting the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45 during the year ended June 30, 2009 the City began to recognize the cost of postemployment healthcare in the year when employee services are received, to report the accumulated liability from prior years, and to provide information useful in assessing potential demands on the City's fiiture cash flows. Because the City adopted the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45 prospectively, recognition of the liability accumulated from prior years will be phased in over 30 years, commencing with the 2010 liability.

Plan Description: Continuing health care benefits are provided for those retired employees who have reached the normal retirement age while employed by the City. The plan is a multiple-employer defined benefit health care plan administered by Risk Management through Louisiana Municipal Association. The Mayor and Council have the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the plan. The plan does not issue a pubhcly available financial report.

Funding Policy: The benefits for retirees and similar benefits for active employees are provided through Blue Cross with the monthly premiums being paid solely by the City. Tlie City recognizes the cost as expenditure when paid during the year. The benefits are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Annual OPEB Cost: The City's annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially detemiined 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 unfiinded actuarial

35

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years. The City utilizes the level-dollar amortization method to amortize the unfunded actuarial accmed liability.

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 district's net OPEB obligation:

Annual required contribution $ 59,340

The City's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2010 is as follows:

Fiscal Annual Percentage of Year OPEB Annual OPEB Net OPEB

Ended Cost Cost Contributed Obligation

6/30/2010 $ 59,340 54.2% $ 27,172

Fiscal year 2010 was the year of implementation of GASB Statement No. 45 and the City elected to implement prospectively. Therefore, prior year comparative data is not available. In future years, three-year trend information will be presented.

Funded Status and Funding Progress: The fiinded status of the plan as of June 30, 2010, was as follows:

Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 647,912 Actuarial valuation of plan assets -

Unfiinded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) $ 647,912

Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assets/AAL) 0%

Actuarial valuations for an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Actuarially determined

36

CITY OF BUNKIE, LOUISIANA

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

amounts are subject to continuous revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates about the future are formulated. Although the valuation results are based on values which the City's actuarial consultant believes are reasonable assumptions, the valuation results reflect a long-term perspective and, as such, are merely an estimate of what fiiture costs may actually be. Deviations in any of several factors, such as fiiture interest rates, medical cost inflation, Medicare coverage, and changes in marital status, could resuh in actual costs being less or greater than estimated.

The schedule of fiindmg progress mcluded in required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements presents multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accmed liabilities for benefits. Because 2010 was the year of implementation of GASB Statement No. 45, and the City elected to apply the statement prospectively, only one year is presented in the schedule at this time.

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 plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattem 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 short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

In the July 1, 2009 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation of the plan are as follows:

1. Investment return of 4.0%o per annum, compounded annually.

2. Retirement Rates

Rate

Age Male Female 41-59 6.0% 6.0% 60-65 14.0% 14.0%

3. 40%o of employees who elect coverage while in active employment and who are eligible for retiree medical benefits are assumed to elect continued medical coverage in retirement. Active employees with life insurance coverage are assumed to elect retiree life coverage

4. 80%o of members electing coverage are assumed to also elect coverage for a spouse.

5. Medical Inflation

The Honorable Mike Robertson, Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen

Bunkie, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements of the govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bunkie, Louisiana (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the City's basic fmancial statements and have issued our report thereon dated October 23, 2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fmancial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Intemal Control Over Fmancial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's intemal control over fmancial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the fmancial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's intemal control over fmancial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's intemal control over fmancial reporting.

Our consideration of intemal control over fmancial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in intemal control over fmancial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and therefore, there can be no assurance that all deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses have been identified. However, as described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior year audit findings and corrective action plan, we identified a certain deficiency in intemal control over fmancial reporting that we consider to be a material weakness.

A deficiency in intemal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management of employees, in the nomial course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in intemal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's fmancial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior year audit findings and corrective action plan as item 07-01 (IC) to be a material weakness.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the deteimination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Govemment Auditing Standards and which are described in the accompanying schedule of current year fmdings and corrective action plan.

The City's response to the fmding described in our audit is described in the accompanymg schedule of current and prior year audit fmding and corrective action plan. We did not audit the City's response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

This report is intended solely for the infomiation and use of the City's management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parities. Although the intended use of this report may be limited under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.
