Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Education
Waterloo Community School District
Waterloo, Iowa
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Waterloo Community
School District, Waterloo, Iowa, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise
the District's basic financial statements, as listed in the Table of Contents. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the District’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and provisions require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the Waterloo Community School District at June 30, 2011,
and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, 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 a report dated January 13,
2012 on our consideration of the Waterloo Community School District'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 those reports 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. Those reports are an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be
read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

Management's Discussion and Analysis, budgetary comparison information and schedule of funding
progress for the retiree health plan on pages 12 through 21 and 50 and 51 are not required parts of the
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Governmental 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.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Waterloo Community School District's basic financial statements. The accompanying
supplemental data on pages 52 through 62 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the financial statements of the Waterloo Community School District. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the aforementioned financial statements
taken as a whole. Information included in the statistical section (pages 63 through 93) has not been
audited by us and we express no opinion or provide any other assurance on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Waterloo Community School District provides this management’s discussion and analysis of the District’s
financial performance and provides an overall review of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2011. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District’s financial performance as a whole.
We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information in the
District's financial statements, which immediately follow this section.
Financial Highlights
•
The assets of the Waterloo Community School District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal
year by $116,077,631 (net assets). Of this amount $13,832,134 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
•
The General Fund cash and pooled investments increased $4,102,928 and the General Fund balance increased
$3,319,057 due to an increase in state funding received.
•
The General Fund Unspent Balance Ratio which measures the percent of Authorized Budget Unspent Balance
improved from 8.39% to 11.6%. This was achieved through budget expenditure management.
•
The State of Iowa granted a 2% allowable growth rate for fiscal year 2011. The State previously granted 2%
allowable growth in fiscal year 2010 and 4% per year for fiscal years 2006-2009.
•
By 2008 State Legislative action, the Local Option Sales and Service Tax (LOSST) which had been voter approved
in every county, was changed to a state tax, Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE). The one-cent sales
tax will be in effect until 2029 and subject to review and extension. The state collections will be received by the
districts based upon enrollment times an estimated three-year average which will reduce the actual funds received
approximately 20%, but guarantees the longevity and ability for the District to bond against the proceeds for future
facility projects.
•
The District has completed remodeling projects of McKinstry Elementary to incorporate Expo Alternative High
School, Waterloo Educational Behavioral Center (WEBC) and Special Education Center (STARC) which opened
December, 2010 and Kittrell Early Childhood Center to open September, 2011. The old Expo High School was sold
and the Devonshire Special Education program operated by AEA 267 was closed to move both programs to the
new Expo Alternative Education Center. Completion of Fred Becker Elementary is planned for January, 2012
which will encompass the students of the former Black Hawk and Edison Elementary buildings.
•
Since the original LOSST/SAVE funding began in fiscal year 1999-2000, the District has constructed seven new
elementary schools, completely remodeled two elementary schools and completed other significant projects.

Overview of the Financial Statements
The annual report consist of a series of financial statements and other information, as follows:
Management's discussion and analysis introduces the basic financial statements and provides an analytical overview
of the District’s financial activities.
The government-wide financial statements consist of a statement of net assets and a statement of activities. These
provide information about the activities of the Waterloo Community School District as a whole and present an
overall view of the District’s finances.
The fund financial statements tell how governmental services were financed in the short term as well as what
remains for future spending. Fund financial statements report the Waterloo Community School District’s operations
in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the most significant funds. The
remaining statements provide financial information about activities for which the Waterloo Community School
District acts solely as an agent or custodian for the benefit of those outside of the District.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional information essential to a full understanding of the data provided
in the basic financial statements.
Required supplementary information further explains and supports the financial statements with a comparison of the
District's budget for the year, as well as presenting the schedule of funding progress for the retiree health plan.
Other supplementary information provides detailed information about the nonmajor governmental and proprietary
funds. In addition, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards provides details of various federal programs
benefiting the District.
Figure A-1 shows how the various parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another.

Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods
similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the District’s assets and
liabilities. All of the current year’s revenue and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities, regardless of
when cash is received or paid.
The two government-wide statements report the District’s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets equal the
difference between the District’s assets and liabilities and, are one way to measure the District’s financial health or
position.
•
Over time, increases or decreases in the District’s net assets are an indicator of whether financial position is
improving or deteriorating, respectively.
•
To assess the District’s overall health, you need to consider additional nonfinancial factors, such as changes in
the District’s property tax base and the condition of school buildings and other facilities.
In the government-wide financial statements, the District’s activities are divided into two categories:
•
Governmental activities: Most of the District’s basic services are included here, such as regular and special
education, transportation and administration. Property tax and state aid finance most of these activities.
•
Business-type activities: The District charges fees to help cover the costs of certain services it provides. The
District’s school nutrition program is included here.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District’s funds, focusing on its most
significant or “major” funds – not the District as a whole. Funds are accounting devices the District uses to keep track
of specific sources of funding and spending on particular programs.
Some funds are required by state law and by bond covenants. The District establishes other funds to control and manage
money for particular purposes, such as accounting for student activity funds or to show that it is properly using certain
revenue such as federal grants.
The District has three kinds of funds:
Governmental funds: Most of the District’s basic services are included in governmental funds, which generally focus on
(1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at
year end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term
view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to
finance the District’s programs.
•
The District’s governmental funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Fund
and Debt Service Fund.
The required financial statements for governmental funds include a balance sheet and a statement of revenue,
expenditures and changes in fund balances.
Proprietary funds: Services for which the District charges a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary
funds are reported in the same way as the government-wide statements.
•
The District’s enterprise funds, one type of proprietary fund, are the same as its business-type activities, but
provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows. The District currently has enterprise funds
for food service and day care.
15
The required financial statements for proprietary funds include a statement of net assets, a statement of revenue,
expenses and changes in net assets and a statement of cash flows.
Fiduciary Funds: The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others. These funds include one
Agency Fund.
The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the District as an agent for individuals, private organizations and
other governments. The Agency Fund is used to account for retiree health insurance premiums and scholarships, school
uniforms and reading materials for students within the District.
The District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in the fiduciary funds are used only for their intended
purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. The District excludes these activities from the government-wide
financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations.
The required financial statements for fiduciary funds include a statement of fiduciary assets and liabilities and a
schedule of changes in fiduciary assets and liabilities.
Reconciliations between the government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements follow the fund
financial statements.

The District’s combined net assets increased 4.4%, or approximately $4,903,000, from the prior year. The largest
portion of the District's net assets is invested in capital assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings and equipment), less
the related debt. The debt related to the investment in capital assets is liquidated with resources other than capital assets.
The District increased their capitalization threshold from $1,000 to $5,000 and retroactively applied the change. See
Note 13 to the financial statements.
Restricted net assets represent resources subject to external restrictions, constitutional provisions or enabling legislation
on how they can be used. The District's restricted net assets increased approximately $5,103,000, or 124.1%, over the
prior year. The increase was primarily a result of sinking fund and reserve fund requirements for revenue bonds issued
in the current year.
16
Unrestricted net assets - the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints
established by debt covenants, enabling legislation or other legal requirements - increased approximately $9,492,000, or
218.7%. The increase in unrestricted net assets was primarily a result of the District's surplus of $5.1 million in
governmental activities along with decreased net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt. The District’s debt
related to capital assets was significantly increased due to additional bonds issued in the current year.
Changes in Net Assets - Figure A-4 shows the changes in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the

In fiscal year 2011, property taxes and unrestricted state grants accounted for 69.9% of governmental activities revenue
while charges for services and operating grants, contributions and restricted interest accounted for 99.1% of businesstype activities revenue.
17
As shown in Figure A-4, the District as a whole experienced a 2.8% increase in revenue and a 0.2% decrease in
expenses. Property taxes increased approximately $484,000 and unrestricted state grants increased approximately
$9,063,000 to fund expenses. The decrease in expenses is related to fewer costs in the operation and maintenance of
plant services functional area.
Revenue for governmental activities was $128,969,377 and expenses were $123,918,387, which amounted to an
increase in net assets of $5,050,990. The following table presents the total and net cost of the District’s major
governmental activities: instruction, support services, noninstructional programs and other expenses.

•
The total cost of all governmental activities was $123,918,387, an increase of less than 0.1% from 2009-2010.
•
The cost financed by users of the District’s programs was $3,039,488.
•
Federal and state governments and private entities subsidized certain programs with grants and contributions
totaling $27,013,391.
•
The net remaining cost of governmental activities was financed with $47,907,941 in property and other taxes,
$50,960,501 in unrestricted state grants and $48,056 in unrestricted investment earnings.
Revenue of the District's business-type activities (nutrition services and day care services) were comprised of charges for
services, federal and state reimbursements and investment earnings. (See Figure A-4).
•
Business-type activities expenses exceeded revenue by $147,741 for 2010-2011. In 2009-2010 revenue
exceeded expenses by $95,545.
•
Charges for services represent 25.9% of total revenue compared to 24.4% for 2009-2010. This represents the
amount paid by students/staff for daily food service.
•
Federal and state operating grants included reimbursement for meals, payments for free and reduced lunches,
commodities provided to the District and other miscellaneous grants totaled $3,819,569, or 73.1%, of total
revenue. This is reflective of the District's population of “free and reduced” students, which is typically over 55%
of the total.
Financial Analysis of the District’s Funds
As previously noted, the Waterloo Community School District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
18
The financial performance of the District as a whole is reflected in its governmental funds. As the District completed
the year, its governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $26,076,047 which was well above last year’s
ending fund balances of $11,022,182. The main reasons for the increase in combined fund balances at the end of fiscal
year 2011 was decreased support services spending and net proceeds from issuing bonds.
Over 11.3% of the governmental fund balance constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at
the District's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned to indicate
that it is not available for new spending.
Governmental Fund Highlights
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the District. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund
balance of the general fund was $2,935,563 while total fund balance increased to $10,852,933.
The fund balance of the District's general fund increased by $3,319,057, or 44.1%, during the current fiscal year. The
main reason for this increase was an increase in state funding that occurred during the fiscal year.
The Debt Service Fund balance increased to $5,486,671 at the end of fiscal year 2011. The Fund had no balance at the
end of fiscal year 2010. Current year revenue and expenditures included bond proceeds and bond principal and interest
payments. The increase in fund balance is related to bond proceeds held and restricted for future bond interest and
principal payments.
The Capital Projects Fund balance increased due to the sale of $69,159,539 of revenue bonds during fiscal year 2011.
The District ended fiscal year 2010 with a balance of $1,256,298. Fiscal year 2011 ended with a balance of $7,661,501,
consisting primarily of unexpended bond proceeds which will be expended as building and remodeling projects are
completed.
Proprietary Fund Highlights
The focus of the District's proprietary funds is to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises. The intent of the entity is that the costs of providing the goods or services be
financed primarily through user charges. Proprietary fund types include the School Nutrition Fund and the Day Care
Fund.
Budgetary Highlights
The District adopts a budget in April for the following year and at the same time considers and approves a budget
amendment for expenditures for the current year. The District amended its original budget once for 2010-2011 to
increase expenditures due to the retirement of revenue bonds.
A schedule showing the original and final budget amounts compared to the District's actual financial activity is
provided in this report as required supplementary information.
The District's total revenue was $2,656,331 less than total budgeted revenue, a variance of 2%. Even though local tax
revenue increased in fiscal year 2011, the total amount received was less than originally anticipated. The District also
over budgeted for state resources and under budgeted for federal sources as they were uncertain to the source of various
funding, the net effect of the error in budgeting was immaterial.
Total expenditures were less than budgeted, due primarily to the District's budget for the governmental funds. The
District significantly over budgeted in the support services and other expenditures area. Specifically, the District over
budgeted for operation and maintenance of plant services expenditures due to the timing of the completion of various
construction and repair related projects and refunding bond payments which were later reclassified as an other financing
use.
In spite of the District's budgetary practice, the certified budget was exceeded in the instruction functional area due to
the timing of expenditures at year end without sufficient time to amend the certified budget. The District did not exceed
its total spending authority.

Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2011, the District had $69,397,848 in total long-term debt outstanding. This represents an increase of
approximately 49.9% from last year. (See Figure A-7)
The Constitution of the State of Iowa limits the amount of debt districts can issue to 5% of the assessed value of all taxable
property within the District. The District’s outstanding debt is significantly below its constitutional debt limit of
approximately $203 million.
In April, 2011, the District issued $69,159,359 of statewide sales, services and use tax revenue bonds for various construction
projects and to retire revenue bonds issued in 2009.

statements.
Factors Bearing on the District’s Future
At the time these financial statements were prepared and audited, the District was aware of several existing
circumstances that could significantly affect its financial health in the future:
•
Beginning in 2008 and continuing in 2011, the United States and the world are experiencing financial upheaval
and it is affecting Iowa revenue. The Governor, in October, 2009, announced a 10% across-the-board cut
reducing the District’s budget by $5.5 million. In addition, the Iowa Legislature set the 2010-2011 budget
allowable growth at 2% which required additional staff reductions and operational efficiencies. As state budget
struggles continued, allowable growth for 2011-2012 was set at 0% and 2012-2013 was approved for 2%. A
reduction in allowable growth will not only reduce cash received, but reduce the spending authority of the
District.
•
Growth in employee wages and benefits has outpaced state funding to schools. Salary and benefits represent
approximately 74% of general fund expenditures. Salary and benefit settlements, with any employee group,
exceeding the rate of growth of state funding will have an adverse impact upon the District’s general fund
budget.
•
Budget shortfalls will certainly mean staff reductions, but retirements will allow the District to reduce the
positions vacated for 2011-2012. Overhead costs, such as heating and vehicle fuel are volatile due to the world
economic status and allows little flexibility for budget planning.
•
District enrollment declined approximately 300 students in 2007-2010 but showed a recovery by increasing
85 students in the Fall of 2011. Under Iowa’s school funding formula, District funding is highly dependent
upon District enrollments. Future enrollment stability is a critical element in maintaining a sound financial
foundation.
•
Effective July 1, 2011, an incremental increase in the employee’s and employer’s share of Iowa Public
Employees Retirement System (IPERS) contributions will go into effect.
•
By Board resolution, 5% of the unspent authorized balance was moved to committed fund balance to support
District policy to maintain a minimum fund balance of 5%. This balance cannot be budgeted or expended
unless the Board action votes to approve.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities are different because:
Capital outlays to purchase or build capital assets are
reported in the governmental funds as expenditures.
However, those costs are reported in the statement of net
assets and are allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense in the statement of activities. The
amounts of capital outlays and depreciation expense for the
year are as follows:

Proceeds from issuing long-term liabilities provide current
financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Repayment of long-term liabilities is an expenditure in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term
liabilities in the statement of net assets. Current year issues

Notes to the Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Waterloo Community School District is a political subdivision of the State of Iowa and operates public
schools for children in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. The District also either operates or
sponsors various adult education programs. These courses include remedial education as well as
vocational and recreation courses. The geographic area served includes the cities of Waterloo,
Evansdale, Elk Run Heights, Raymond, Gilbertville and a portion of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and the
surrounding predominate agricultural territory in Black Hawk County. The District is governed by a Board
of Education whose members are elected on a nonpartisan basis.
The District's financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Reporting Entity
For financial reporting purposes, the Waterloo Community School District has included all funds,
organizations, agencies, boards, commissions and authorities. The District has also considered all
potential component units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause the
District's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include
appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the District to
impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to,
or impose specific financial burdens on the District. The Waterloo Community School District has no
component units which meet the Governmental Accounting Standards Board criteria.
Jointly Governed Organizations
The District participates in a jointly governed organization that provides services to the District but does
not meet the criteria of a joint venture since there is no ongoing financial interest or responsibility by the
participating governments. The District is a member of the Black Hawk County Assessor’s Conference
Board.
Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net assets and the statement of activities report information on all the nonfiduciary
activities of the District. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by tax and intergovernmental
revenue, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on
fees and charges for service.
The statement of net assets presents the District's nonfiduciary assets and liabilities, with the
difference reported as net assets. Net assets are reported in three categories:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances for bonds, notes and other debt that are
attributed to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets.
32
Restricted net assets result when constraints placed on net asset use are either externally imposed
or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net assets consist of net assets that do not meet the definition of the two preceding
categories. Unrestricted net assets often have constraints on resources that are imposed by
management which can be removed or modified.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment are offset by program revenue. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function. Program revenue includes: (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or
directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function and (2) grants,
contributions and interest that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function. Property tax and other items not properly included among program revenue are
reported instead as general revenue.
Fund Financial Statements
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All remaining
governmental funds are aggregated and reported as other nonmajor governmental funds. Combining
schedules are also provided for the capital projects fund accounts.
The District had the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. All general tax revenue and other
receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for
in this fund. From the fund are paid the general operating expenses, including instructional, support
and other costs.
The Debt Service Fund is utilized to account for tax and other revenue to be used for the payment of
interest and principal on the District’s long-term debt.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for all resources used in the acquisition and
construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
The District's proprietary funds are the Enterprise - School Nutrition Fund and the Enterprise - Day
Care Fund. The School Nutrition Fund is used to account for the food service operations of the District,
and the Day Care Fund is used to account for the day care operations of the District. The day care
operations of the District have been terminated.
33
The District also reports fiduciary funds which focus on net assets and changes in net assets. The
District's fiduciary funds include the following:
The Agency Fund is used to account for assets held by the District as an agent for individuals,
private organizations and other governments. The Agency Fund is used to account for retiree health
insurance premiums and scholarships, school uniforms and reading materials for students within the
District. The Agency Fund is custodial in nature, assets equal liabilities and does not involve
measurement of results of operations.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements and the proprietary financial statements are reported using the
“economic resources measurement focus” and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related
cash flows. Property tax is recognized as revenue in the year for which it is levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been satisfied. The agency fund is custodial in nature and has no measurement focus; however, it uses
the accrual basis of accounting.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized as soon as it is both
measurable and available. Revenue is considered to be available when it is collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government
considers revenue to be available if it is collected within 60 days after year end.
Property tax, intergovernmental revenue (shared revenue, grants and reimbursements from other
governments) and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to
accrual. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received by the District.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However,
principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments and compensated absences are
recognized as expenditures only when payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as
expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital
leases are reported as other financing sources.
Under terms of grant agreements, the District funds certain programs by a combination of specific costreimbursement grants and general revenue. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there are both
restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the District's policy to first
apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, and then general revenue.
When an expenditure is incurred in governmental funds which can be paid using either restricted or
unrestricted resources, the District’s policy is generally to first apply the expenditure toward restricted fund
balance and then to less-restrictive classifications -- committed, assigned and then unassigned fund
balances.
34
The proprietary funds of the District apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as the following
pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncements conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements and
Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins of the
Committee on Accounting Procedure.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenue and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenue and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenue of the
District's enterprise fund is charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for
enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenue and expenses.
Assets, Liabilities and Fund Equity
The following accounting policies are followed in preparing the financial statements:
Cash, Pooled Investments and Cash Equivalents
The cash balances of most District funds are pooled and invested. Investments are stated at fair value
except for the investment in the Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust which is valued at amortized cost
and nonnegotiable certificates of deposit which are stated at cost.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all short-term capital investments that are highly liquid are
considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and, at the day of purchase, they have a maturity date no longer than three months.
Property Taxes Receivable
Property taxes in the governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
Property taxes receivable are recognized in these funds on the levy or lien date, which is the date the
tax asking is certified by the Board of Education. Delinquent property taxes receivable represent
unpaid taxes for the current and prior years. The succeeding year property taxes receivable represents
taxes certified by the Board of Education to be collected in the next fiscal year for the purposes set out
in the budget for the next fiscal year. By statute, the District is required to certify its budget in April of
each year for the subsequent fiscal year. However, by statute, the tax asking and budget certification
for the following fiscal year becomes effective on the first day of that year. Although the succeeding
year property taxes receivable have been recorded, the related revenue is deferred in both the
government-wide and fund financial statements and will not be recognized as revenue until the year for
which it is levied.
35
Property tax revenue recognized in these funds becomes due and collectible in September and March
of the fiscal year with a 1-1/2% monthly penalty for delinquent payments; is based on January 1, 2009
assessed property valuations; is for the tax accrual period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011; and
reflects the tax asking contained in the budget certified to the County Board of Supervisors in May,
2010.
Due From Other Governments
Due from other governments represents amounts due from the State of Iowa, various shared revenue,
grants and reimbursements from other governments.
Food and Supplies Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for purchased items and
contributed value for government commodities. At June 30, 2011, food and supplies inventory valued
at $80,082 were on hand. General fund supplies inventory is accounted for under the consumption
method. Expenses are recognized when consumed on the government-wide financial statements and
as expenditures when purchased on the fund financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, furniture and equipment and intangibles, are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide statement of net
assets. Capital assets are recorded at historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated
fair value at the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the
value of the asset or materially extend asset useful lives are not capitalized. Capital assets are defined
by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost in excess of the following thresholds and
estimated useful lives in excess of two years.

Salaries and Benefits Payable
Payroll and related expenditures for employees with annual contracts corresponding to the current
school year, which are payable in July and August have been accrued as liabilities.
36
Deferred Revenue
Although certain revenue is measurable, it is not available. Available means collected within the
current year or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current year. Deferred revenue in the governmental fund financial statements represents the amount of
assets that have been recognized, but the related revenue has not been recognized since the assets
are not collected within the current year or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used
to pay liabilities of the current year. Deferred revenue consists of unspent grant proceeds as well as
property taxes receivable and other receivables not collected within 60 days after year end.
Compensated Absences
District employees accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused vacation for subsequent use or
for payment upon termination, death or retirement. A liability is recorded when incurred in the
government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds
only for employees that have resigned or retired. The compensated absences liability has been
computed based on rates of pay in effect at June 30, 2011. The compensated absences liability
attributable to the governmental activities will be paid primarily by the General Fund.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are
reported as liabilities in the governmental activities column in the statement of net assets.
Fund Balances
In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:
Restricted - Amounts restricted to specific purposes when constraints placed on the use of the
resources are either externally imposed by creditors, grantors or state or federal laws or imposed by
law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed - Amounts which can be used only for specified purposes determined pursuant to
constraints formally imposed by the Board of Education through resolution approved prior to year
end. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Board of
Education removes or changes the specified use by taking the same action it employed to commit
those amounts.
Assigned - Amounts the Board of Education intends to use for specific purposes.
Unassigned - All amounts not included in other spendable classifications.
Restricted Net Assets
In the government-wide statement of net assets, net assets are reported as restricted when constraints
placed on net asset use are either externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws and
regulations of other governments or are imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
37
Net assets restricted through enabling legislation as of June 30, 2011 consist of categorical funding
$1,541,917, management levy purposes $981,162, physical plant and equipment $548,187 and student
activities $1,093,780.
Budgeting and Budgetary Control
The budgetary comparison and related disclosures are reported as Required Supplementary Information.
During the year ended June 30, 2011, expenditures in the instruction functional area exceeded the
amount budgeted.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Cash and Investments
The District is authorized by statute to invest public funds in obligations of the United States Government,
its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit or other evidences of deposit at federally insured
depository institutions approved by the Board of Education; prime eligible bankers acceptances; certain
high-rated commercial paper; perfected repurchase agreements; certain registered open-end
management investment companies; certain joint investment trusts; and warrants or improvements
certificates of a drainage district.
At June 30, 2011, the District had investments in the Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust Diversified
Portfolio of $31,225,048. The investments are valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The value of the investment is the same as the value of the pool
shares. The Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust is registered with and regulated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Interest Rate Risk
The District’s investment policy limits the investment of operating funds (funds expected to be expended
in the current budget year or within 15 months of receipt) in instruments that mature within 397 days.
Funds not identified as operating funds may be invested in investments with maturities longer than
397 days but the maturities shall be consistent with the needs and use of the District. The District did not
own any investments as of June 30, 2011 other than deposits held in the Iowa Schools Joint Investment
Trust.
38
(2) Cash and Investments
Credit Risk
The Board authorizes the District to invest funds in excess of current needs in interest-bearing savings,
money market and checking accounts in the District’s authorized depositories; the Iowa Schools Joint
Investment Trust Program; obligations of the United States governments, its agencies and
instrumentalities; and certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa
depository institutions. The Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust was rated Aaa by Moody’s Investor
Services. The District’s policy does not further limit the District’s investments in relation to credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The District’s general investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: In making investments, the
District shall exercise the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that
a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use to meet the goals of
the investment program.
The investment in the Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust is not subject to concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk
For deposits, custodial credit risk is the risk that in an event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits
may not be returned to it. For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure
of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
The District’s deposits in banks at June 30, 2011 were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or
by the State Sinking Fund in accordance with Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa. This chapter provides for
additional assessments against the depositories to insure there will be no loss of public funds.

The District has pledged future school infrastructure (statewide) sales, services and use tax revenue to
repay the $52,780,000 of bonds, Series A issued in April, 2011. The bonds were issued for the purpose of
financing a portion of the costs associated with site acquisition, construction, reconstruction, remodeling
and refurbishing certain District facilities, refunding the District’s outstanding school infrastructure
(statewide) sales, services and use tax revenue bonds, series 2009 and paying the costs of issuing the
bonds. The bonds are payable from proceeds of any school infrastructure (statewide) sales, services and
use tax revenue received by the District and mature January 1, 2030. The bonds are not a general
obligation of the District. However, the debt is subject to the constitutional debt limitation of the District.
Total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the bonds is $84,586,663. For the current year, no
principal or interest was paid on the 2011 Series A bonds. A principal payment of $46,400,000 and
interest payment of $1,740,450 was paid and retired 2009 series bonds in the current year.
The District has also pledged future school infrastructure (statewide) sales, services and use tax revenue
to repay the $16,379,539 of qualified school construction bonds Series B (direct pay) issued in April,
2011. The bonds were issued for the purpose of financing a portion of the costs associated with site
acquisition and construction of a new elementary school. The bonds are payable from proceeds of any
school infrastructure (statewide) sales, services and use tax revenue received by the District and mature
July 1, 2025. The bonds have an interest rate of 5.85% but the District is entitled to a credit from the
federal government at a rate of 5.4% (Build America Bonds). The District must remit interest net of any
credits received to the bondholder semi-annually. The bonds are not a general obligation of the District.
However, the debt is subject to the constitutional debt limitation of the District. Total principal and interest
net of credits remaining to be paid on the bonds is $17,424,759. For the current year, no principal or
interest was paid on the 2011 Series B bonds.
For the current year, total statewide sales and services tax revenue was $8,746,420.
The resolution providing for the issuance of the school infrastructure (statewide), sales, services and use
tax revenue and refunding bonds include the following provisions:
a. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the bonds be used to pay off any remaining principal
and interest due on the 2009 series bonds.
b. All proceeds from the statewide sales, services and use tax shall be placed in a revenue account
except for the reserve fund noted below.
c. Monies in the revenue account shall be disbursed to make deposits into a sinking account to pay the
principal and interest requirements of the revenue bonds for the fiscal year. There were no required
payments for the year ended June 30, 2011.
d. Any monies remaining in the revenue account after the required transfer to the sinking account may
be transferred to the project account to be used for any lawful purpose.
e. A reserve fund of 10% of the net proceeds must be established (for 2011 Series A only).
The District did comply with all of the revenue bond provisions during the year ended June 30, 2011.

retirement and death benefits which are established by state statute to plan members and beneficiaries.
IPERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to IPERS, P.O. Box 9117, Des Moines,
Iowa 50306-9117.
Plan members are required to contribute 4.5% (2011), 4.3% (2010) and 4.1% (2009) of their annual
covered salary and the District is required to contribute 6.95% (2011), 6.65% (2010) and 6.35% (2009) of
annual covered salary for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Contribution requirements are
established by state statute. The District's contributions to IPERS for the years ended June 30, 2011,
2010, and 2009 were $4,461,095, $4,110,440 and $3,717,336, respectively, equal to the required
contributions for each year.
(7) Contingent Liability for Sick Leave Time
District employees accumulate sick leave hours for subsequent use. These accumulations do not vest
and therefore are not recognized as liabilities of the District until used by employees. The District’s
contingent liability for employee sick leave at June 30, 2011 was approximately $10,500,000.
(8) Risk Management
The Waterloo Community School District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft; damage
to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. These
risks are covered by the purchase of commercial insurance. The District assumes liability for any
deductibles and claims in excess of coverage limitations. Settled claims from these risks have not
exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
(9) Area Education Agency Support
The District is required by the Code of Iowa to budget for its share of special education support, media
and educational services provided through the Area Education Agency. The District's actual amount for
this purpose totaled $5,132,642 for the year ended June 30, 2011, and is recorded in the General Fund
by making a memorandum adjusting entry to the financial statements.
44
(10) Early Retirement Plan
The District offers a voluntary early retirement plan to its teachers and administrators. Eligible employees
must have completed at least 15 years of full-time service to the District and must have reached the age
of 55 on or before June 30 in the calendar year in which early retirement commences. The application for
early retirement is subject to approval by the Board of Education.
The District provides a supplemental benefit for administrators. To be eligible for the benefit, the
administrator must have attained age 55 by August 1, have completed 15 years of service with the District
in which 10 of those years were served as an administrator and have submitted application for retirement
by March 31. Benefits are computed as a percent of the salary based on age at retirement. The
administrators are also eligible to continue participation in the District’s group health insurance program to
age 65, as described in Note 11.
The District adopted a one-time temporary supplemental early retirement incentive for teachers who
applied for early retirement no later than February 1, 2010. The benefit amount was $25,000 per teacher
and final payment is due in July, 2014.
At June 30, 2011, 86 employees had requested early retirement and the District’s remaining obligation
was $1,245,000.
(11) Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
Plan Description
The District operates a single-employer retiree benefit plan which provides medical/prescription drug and
dental benefits for retirees and their spouses. There are 1,569 active and 56 retired members in the plan.
Participants must be age 55 or older at retirement. The plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report.
The medical/prescription drug benefits are provided through a fully insured plan with Wellmark. The
dental benefit is administered by Delta Dental of Iowa. Retirees under age 65 pay the same premium for
the medical/prescription drug benefit as active employees, which results in an implicit subsidy rate and an
OPEB liability. There is no subsidy or OPEB liability associated with the dental benefit.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members are established and may be amended by the District. The
District currently finances the retiree benefit plan on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The District’s annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the
District, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC
represents a level of funding which, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each
year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed 30 years.
45
The following table shows the components of the District’s annual OPEB cost for the year ended June 30,
2011, the amount actually contributed to the plan and changes in the District's net OPEB obligation:

$ 1,307,000
For calculation of the net OPEB obligation, the actuary has set the transition day as July 1, 2008. The
end-of-year net OPEB obligation was calculated by the actuary as the cumulative difference between the
actuarially determined funding requirements and the actual contributions for the year ended June 30,
2011.
For the year ended 2011, the District contributed $223,000 to the medical plan.
The District’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the net
OPEB obligation as of June 30, 2011 are summarized as follows:

Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of July 1, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date for the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30,
2011, the actuarial accrued liability was $7.325 million, with no actuarial value of assets, resulting in an
unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $7.325 million. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active
employees covered by the plan) was $60.240 million and the ratio of the UAAL to covered payroll was
12.2%. As of June 30, 2011, there were no trust fund assets.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve 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. Actuarially determined
amounts 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, presented as required
supplementary information in the section following the notes to the financial statements, presents
multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
46
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on 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 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.
As of the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation date, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used.
The actuarial assumptions include a 4.5% discount rate based on the District funding policy. The
projected annual medical trend rate is 10%. The ultimate medical trend rate is 5%. The medical trend rate
is reduced by 0.5% each year until reaching the 5% ultimate trend rate.
Mortality rates are from the RP2000 Group Annuity Mortality Table, applied on a gender-specific basis.
Annual retirement and termination probabilities were developed from the retirement probabilities from the
IPERS Actuarial Report as of June 30, 2010 and applying the termination factors used in IPERS Actuarial
Report as of June 30, 2010.
Projected claim costs of the medical plan are $683 per month for retirees age 60. The salary increase
rate was assumed to be 3.5% per year. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected
payroll expense on an open basis over 30 years.

(13) Prior Period Adjustment
During the current fiscal year, the District’s management discovered $208,161 of June 30, 2010 general
education expenditures should have been allocated to the special education function. Due to the
reallocation of expenditures, the District was eligible to recognize grant funding received in the prior year
of $208,161 which was previously reported as deferred revenue.
The District also elected to increase their capitalization policy for land; buildings and improvements;
improvements other than buildings; and furniture and equipment from $1,000 to $5,000. The increase
was applied retroactively to all assets acquired prior to July 1, 2010. The increase in the capitalization
policy resulted in a decrease of $16,507,725 in fixed assets, $11,430,943 in accumulated depreciation
resulting in a net decrease of $5,076,782 in net assets.
Beginning buildings and improvements; improvements other than buildings; furniture and equipment; and
related accumulated depreciation balances were restated as follows:
Buildings and improvements ............

This budgetary comparison is presented as required supplementary information in accordance with Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 41 for governments with significant budgetary perspective differences
resulting from not being able to present budgetary comparisons for the General Fund and each major Special
Revenue Fund.
In accordance with the Code of Iowa, the Board of Education annually adopts a budget following required public
notice and hearing for all funds, except private-purpose trust and agency funds. The budget may be amended during
the year utilizing similar and statutorily prescribed procedures. The District's budget is prepared on the modified
accrual basis.
Formal and legal budgetary control for the certified budget is based upon four major classes of expenditures known
as functional areas, not by fund or fund type. These four functional areas are instruction, support services,
noninstructional programs and other expenditures. Although the budget document presents functional area
expenditures or expenses by fund, the legal level of control is at the aggregated functional level, not at the fund or
fund type level. The Code of Iowa also provides that District expenditures in the General Fund may not exceed the
amount authorized by the school finance formula. During the year, the District adopted one budget amendment,
increasing budgeted expenditures by $53,050,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2011, expenditures in the instruction functional area exceeded the amount
budgeted.

Overlapping
Debt*
Source: Black Hawk County Auditor’s office and District financial records
Notes: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries
of the District. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping
governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the District. This process recognizes that,
when considering the District'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.
* The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable property values. Applicable
percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable value
that is within the District's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable value.

Miscellaneous Information
The Waterloo Community School District includes the cities of Waterloo, Evansdale, Elk Run Heights,
Gilbertville and Raymond, part of the City of Cedar Falls and certain unincorporated areas in Black Hawk
County, including Mt. Vernon, Bennington, East Waterloo, Poyner, Cedar and Orange Townships,
encompassing a total of 150 square miles. Black Hawk County is located in northeast Iowa and was
named for the famous Native American leader Black Hawk (1767-1838), the principal figure in the
Black Hawk War of 1832. The first permanent residents of Black Hawk County were the Sturgis and
Adams families who settled here in 1845. In 1850, the population of Black Hawk County was 135;
Cedar Falls was the largest town. Population increased in Waterloo and in 1855, the county seat was
moved from Cedar Falls to Waterloo. By 1868, 23,000 acres of land were under cultivation in Black Hawk
County. In 1990, the county was the fourth largest in the state, with a population of 123,798.
The Districted operated 20 schools plus an early childhood education building, an administration building,
a maintenance building, warehouse and a bus garage in 2010-11. The following data provides the
number of buildings per grade level:

Community and Economic Development
The Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments was formed in 1973 and is organized pursuant to
Chapter 28E, State Code of Iowa. Their service area is a six-county area, including Black Hawk County.
Their major functions are:
•
To increase the coordination of programs between the local governments.
•
To promote regional and metropolitan long-range planning.
•
To provide a forum for the discussion of common interests, problems and concerns of the local
governments.
•
To provide mechanism for legally reviewing federal and state grant and aid programs for the cities and
counties in the region.
The Cedar Valley Economic Development Corporation provides leadership in Black Hawk County for
creating jobs through expansion of existing businesses and industries, new business formation and
relocation of companies. It is governed by a Board of Directors, representing a wide geographical
representation.
After surviving the downturn in the Iowa farm economy in the mid-80’s that included the closing of Rath
Packing Company and the loss of 8,000 jobs at Deere & Company, the local economy has rebounded.
This is evidenced by increases in construction activity and growth in the Crossroads Shopping area.
Deere & Company continues to be a dominant player in the local economy, employing approximately
5,300 people, on four sites totaling 2,700 acres of land.
In August of 2001, Target picked twin city, Cedar Falls, for a mammoth 900 employee, 1.35 million square
foot distribution center. Work began on the site in September, 2001. It was the biggest industrial or
commercial construction project in the Waterloo-Cedar Falls metro area in 20 years. A cold storage
addition was completed in 2008.

Special Attractions/Activities
The National Park Service has designated a large part of northeast Iowa, including the Cedar Valley area,
as a national heritage park area. This designation is for the express purpose of telling the story of
America’s agricultural and industrial revolution, resulting in significant tourism. Silos and Smokestacks is a
private, nonprofit organization, funded by city, state and federal funds and private contributions. Work is
underway to utilize existing agricultural sites (National Cattle Congress, Rath facility, farms, etc.) as tourist
attractions.
The county boasts of 5,000 park acres in 190 parks including Black Hawk Park, Hickory Hills Park,
McFarlane Park, Paw Park, Hartman Reserve Nature Center, George Wyth State Park, Sturgis Park,
Sullivan Park and Cedar Valley Nature Trail. The 52-mile Cedar Valley Nature Trail winds along the
Cedar River bottomlands between Waterloo and Cedar Rapids. The Cedar Valley Lakes and Trails
project is a cooperative venture which resulted in the creation of an 800-acre “Chain of Lakes” along a
ten-mile Cedar River corridor in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area.
The area also features a variety of performing arts centers including the Oster Regent Theatre, Waterloo
Community Playhouse, Black Hawk Children’s Theatre, Strayer-Wood Theatre at the University of
Northern Iowa, Waterloo/Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra and the UNI School of Music.
The University of Northern Iowa is home to the 115,000 square foot Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts
Center. The main auditorium can accommodate 1,600 concertgoers, with each seat less than 100 feet
from the stage and no more than 30 degrees off center.
The Isle of Capri Casino and Hotel is a tropical paradise offering 1,110 slots, including more than
80 video poker machines, 35 table games, 4 restaurants, a feature bar, resort pool, spa and a 600-seat
entertainment venue. The hotel has 195 rooms and 27 suites.
New to the Cedar Valley in 2008 was the Phelps Youth Pavilion. The Youth Pavilion is a 39,000 square
