These statements require special expertise and more time to prepare than other types of financial statements. City Management did not dedicate the necessary resources, such as staff time and training to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting. Status The condition reported during the 2010 audit has been resolved. City Management has chosen to present cash basis statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters in Accordance
with Government Auditing Standards
City of Bonney Lake
Pierce County January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
Mayor and City Council City of Bonney Lake Bonney Lake, Washington We have audited the financial statements of the City of Bonney Lake, Pierce County, Washington, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and have issued our report thereon dated February 11, 2013. 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 Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Washington State Auditor's Office
2
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 the City’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination 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 Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended for the information and use of management and the Mayor and City Council. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Financial
Statements
City of Bonney Lake Pierce County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 Mayor and City Council City of Bonney Lake Bonney Lake, Washington
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of Bonney Lake, Pierce County, Washington, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as listed on page 5. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with Washington State statutes and the Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual prescribed by the State Auditor described in Note 1. This includes determining that the basis of accounting is acceptable for the presentation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of the City of Bonney Lake, for the year ended December 31, 2011, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1. Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared in accordance with the basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with Washington State statutes and the Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual prescribed by the State Auditor, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Long-Term Liabilities is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the prescribed BARS manual. This schedule is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Purpose of this Report
The report is intended for the information and use of the management and the Mayor and City Council of the City. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial 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 internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an

City of Bonney Lake December 31, 2011
CITY OF BONNEY LAKE Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Bonney Lake reports financial activity using the revenue and expenditure classifications, statements, and schedules contained in the Cash Basis Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) Manual. This basis of accounting and reporting is another comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA) that is prescribed by the State Auditor’s Office under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09 RCW. A. Reporting Entity
The City of Bonney Lake, organized as a non-chartered code city, was incorporated in 1949 utilizing the Mayor/Council form of government. The City’s legislative authority, the City Council, consists of a Mayor and seven Council members who are elected to overlapping four-year terms of office. The Council is responsible for assuring citizen representation through policy direction and adoption of local codes and legislation.
B. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Beginning with the FY2011 statements, the City has elected to report on a cash basis. Prior reporting was on an accrual (GAAP) basis. Revenues are recognized only when cash is received and expenditures are recognized when paid, including those properly chargeable against the report year’s budget appropriations when required by state law. In accordance with state law the City also recognized expenditures paid during twenty days after the close of the fiscal year for claims incurred during the prior period. Purchases of capital assets are expensed during the year of acquisition. There is no capitalization of capital assets, nor allocation of depreciation expense. Inventory is expensed when purchased. The basis of accounting described above represents a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
D. Budgetary Information
The City of Bonney Lake’s budget procedures are mandated by Chapter 35A.34 of the Revised Code of Washington. Biennial budgets are adopted for all governmental funds on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Budgets are adopted at the level of the fund, and the budgets constitute the legal authority for expenditures at that level. For administrative purposes, the biennial budget allocates budgets separately for each year of the biennium; however, legally, the combined allocations for the biennium constitute the officially adopted budget. Appropriations lapse at biennial end. The appropriated and actual expenditures for the legally adopted budgets were as follows:

Other Financing Sources/Uses The City of Bonney Lake’s Other Financing Sources/Uses consists of Transfers In and Transfers Out. 8. Risk Management The City of Bonney Lake is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 126 Members. New members initially contract for a three-year term and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership. Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $3 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $12 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $15 million per occurrence subject to aggregate sub limits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually. Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance and auto physical damage are self-funded from the members’ deductible to $500,000, for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of reinsurance. In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services. WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.

City of Bonney Lake December 31, 2011
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA's assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions of the membership's annual assessment. A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of WCIA. In the prior three years, settlements did not exceed the City’s insurance coverage. 9. Reserved Fund Balance
Reserved fund balances are used primarily for customer deposits.

City of Bonney Lake December 31, 2011
Property tax revenues are recognized when cash is received by the City of Bonney Lake. Delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible because a lien affixes to the property after the tax is levied.
The city may levy up to $3.6 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, subject to two limitations:
1. Washington State (RCW 84.55.010) limits the growth of regular property taxes to one percent per
year unless approved by a majority of the voters at an election as provided in RCW 84.55.050. Under this statute, local governments are free to place measures on the ballot seeking approval of property tax increases for: Specific dollar amounts, specific periods of time, which can exceed one year, and/or general or limited purposes;
2. The Washington State Constitution limits the total regular property taxes to one percent of
assessed valuation or $10 per $1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the 1 percent limit.
The City levy does not include voter approved special levy for payment of debt on the Public Safety Building. Because the city belongs to the local fire district and library district, according to law the local fire district’s levy and the library district’s levy must be subtracted from the City’s levy. Since these districts are currently levying their maximum amounts, the local levy can be no higher than $1.60 per $1,000: ($3.60 less $1.50 for the fire district less $.50 for the library district = $1.60.)
Special property tax levies approved by the voters are not subject to the limitations listed above.
The City’s regular tax levy for the tax year 2011 was $1.265 on an assessed valuation of $1.99 billion for a total regular levy of $2,516,516. Additionally, a special levy for debt service on the Public Safety Building was $0.182 per $1,000 for a total additional levy of $359,750. The total City property tax levies for tax year 2011 was $1.447 per $1,000 of assessed value yielding $2,876,266.

NOTE 8 – OTHER DISCLOSURES
A. Contingencies and Commitments
In September 2008, the City received a claim for damages arising from a marine vessel accident occurring in 2006. This matter is still outstanding at 12/31/2011, with no action occurring in 2011. Although the outcome of this claim is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the City’s management, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the government. The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted programs. These grants are subject to audit by the grantors or their representatives. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement to grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. City management believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial. During fiscal year 2011 the City booked a Prior Period Adjustment applicable to fiscal year 2010. The adjustment was detected during our 2010 audit engagement for over-reporting cash balances in financial statements for all funds in the amount of $725,182. B. Subsequent Events There are no subsequent events at the time of financial statement preparation. C. Other Post Employment Benefits As required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter41.26 the City has a commitment to provides lifetime medical care for members of the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters (LEOFF) retirement system hired before October 1, 1977, under a defined benefit plan administered by the City. This plan is commonly referred to as LEOFF 1 and includes coverage for medical, vision, nursing care, etc. The City provides LEOFF 1 post employment benefits for one retired law enforcement employee. The city’s funding policy is based upon pay-as-you-go financing requirement and retirees in this category are not required to contribute any portion of the cost coverage. For the City’s one member, the city purchased health insurance from the Untied Benefit Trust. The retired law enforcement employee received a benefit contribution of $634 per month or $7,608 per year for the retiree only coverage .
