Wiggins, Mayor And Members of the City Council City of Pensacola Pensacola, Florida Pursuant to applicable Florida Statutes and sound financial management practices, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Pensacola, Florida, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, has been prepared and is submitted herewith. The City of Pensacola's CAFR was prepared by the Financial Services Department. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. City management believes that the report is a fair presentation of the City's financial position and results of operations as measured by the financial activity of its various funds, that presented data is accurate in all material aspects and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain maximum understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included. This report has been presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These principles require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). The Letter of Transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Pensacola’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. The Reporting Entity The financial reporting entity includes all funds of the primary government, as well as all of its component units. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the City is financially accountable and, for financial statement purposes, are either blended with the activities of the City or discretely presented. The criteria used to determine whether an organization should be a part of the City’s reporting entity were those outlined by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity. 1 The Downtown Improvement Board has been classified as a component unit and is discretely presented in the City’s annual financial report as a separate column in the government-wide financial statements. The Community Redevelopment Agency, an independent agency of the City, also meets the definition of a component unit; however its financial reporting is blended with the City’s financial activity. Form of Government The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council consists of ten members. Members of the City Council serve for two-year terms. Seven members of the City Council are elected from single-member districts and the other three members, including the Mayor, are elected at-large. The City Council is the legislative and governing body of the City. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is responsible for implementing the policies and legislative actions of the City Council. The City of Pensacola provides a full range of municipal services including public works, public safety, health and social services, recreation and cultural activities. In addition, the City’s enterprise activities include a gas utility, sanitation collection system, seaport, and regional airport. On November 24, 2009 a referendum to change the City’s charter received fifty-five percent voter approval. The Council-Manager structure changed to a Mayor-Council form of government effective January 11, 2010. The Mayor and Council will be seated with the November 2010 election. With the new structure, the Mayor will not be a member of Council, will not have voting power and has a four year term of office as opposed to a two year term. Members of Council are limited to three consecutive four year terms. Every ten years the Charter Review Commission will be established to review the City’s charter. City Council adopted the new charter on November 25, 2009. In November 2008 the County Commission and City Council passed a resolution to support the establishment of a Consolidated Study Commission of which they appointed 25 members tasked to study, debate and generate a consolidated plan for referendum. The plan proposes the consolidation of the City of Pensacola, Escambia County and Town of Century. The Town of Century voted a year ago to pull its support. The Escambia County Commissioners voted at their January 2010 meeting to send a letter to the Northwest Florida Legislative Delegation saying Commissioners do not support the current draft thereby delaying the referendum to the November 2012 ballot. The Mayor of the City of Pensacola sent notification to the Delegation that at the January 25, 2010 Pensacola
