To the Members of City Council:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Strongsville,
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, which collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City’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 the Comptroller General of the
United States’ Government Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to reasonably assure 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 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, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Strongsville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, as of
December 31, 2008, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows,
thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General, Fire Levy, and Street Construction,
Maintenance and Repair Funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 3, the City restated the January 1, 2008 net assets of the Governmental and
Business-Type Activities due to changes in long-term liabilities and internal balances. In addition, the City
restated the January 1, 2008 fund balances of the General Bond Retirement Fund due to a decrease in
current assets and the Sewer Fund due to a decrease in current liabilities and long-term debt.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 7,
2009, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other
matters. While we did not opine on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance, that
report describes the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and coce and
the results of that testing. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards. You should read it in conjunction with this report in assessing the
results of our audit.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires. We have applied certain limited procedures, consisting principally of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of measuring and presenting the required supplementary information. However,
we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
We conducted our audit to opine on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic
financial statements. The Schedule of Federal Awards Expenditures is required by U.S. Office of
Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit
Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. We subjected the
Schedule of Federal Awards Expenditures to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements. In our opinion, this information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
