October 22, 2015
To the Citizens of the City of Salina, Kansas:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Salina, Kansas (the "City") for the year ended
December 31, 2014, is hereby submitted. The City’s Finance Department prepared the report.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is
accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position
and results of operations of all various funds and account groups of the City. W e believe that all disclosures
necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.
Report Format
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is presented in three sections: Introductory, Financial and
Statistical. The introductory section includes a description of the City, including services provided, and
explanation of the City’s accounting system and budgetary controls, and a brief discussion of the City’s
economic condition and outlook. The City's organizational chart is also included to assist the reader in
understanding the structure of the City. The financial section includes the Independent auditor’s report,
Management’s discussion & analysis, Government wide financial statements, Fund financial statements,
Notes to the financial statements, and Individual and combining statements and schedules. The statistical
section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis.
The reader is specifically directed to Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) which immediately
follows the independent auditor’s report. MD&A provides a narrative explanation and overview of significant
features and trends reflected by data in the financial statements.
Accounting Systems and Internal Controls
A critical part of the control system is the City’s comprehensive Budgetary and Financial Policies, which
establish guidelines for budgetary and financial practices. The Budgetary and Financial Policies are
reviewed by the City Commission and updated each year as a part of the budget process.
City staff is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that
the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and that adequate accounting data is compiled
to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require
estimates and judgment by management.
The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions em bodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Commission. The legal level of budgetary control is maintained at
the Fund level, in accordance with State Statutes. However, management control is maintained at the
department level. The City uses an encumbrance accounting system, in which estimated purchase amounts
are recorded prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors. Open encumbrances are reported as
reservations of fund balance at December 31, 2014 in the general fund and the special revenue funds.
Various internal compliance procedures are implemented to insure proper implementation of the budget as
well as to maintain a degree of accountability for both revenues and expenditures.
ii
Independent Audit
Kansas Statutes Annotated 75-1122 requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial records and
transactions of all administrative departments of the City by independent certified public accountants
selected by the City Commission. This requirement has been complied with and the auditor's opinion has
been included in this report.
Profile of the Community
The Town of Salina was organized in 1858 under the Town and Village Act in the State of Kansas, and
became a City of the First Class on July 9, 1920. The City has had a Commission-City Manager form of
government since 1921. The Commission is comprised of five members elected at large. Each year the
commission chooses one member to act as Mayor. The City Manager is appointed by the Commission, and
acts as its primary agent in accordance with state statute. Other city officers and employees are appointed
by the City Manager. The current population of the City is 47,867.
The reporting entity includes the City of Salina as well as two discretely presented component units, both
proprietary fund types. The Salina Airport Authority operates the Salina Municipal Airport and Airport
Industrial Center, and the Salina Housing Authority administers public housing programs within the City of
Salina. In addition, the City of Salina participates in a joint venture with Saline County and the City-County
Building Authority. This report includes all funds and account groups of the City.
The City provides a full range of services including police and fire protection, development services,
construction and maintenance of streets, drainage facilities and other infrastructure; recreational activities
and cultural events; emergency medical services and convention facilities. In addition to general
government activities, the City also provides water, wastewater, sanitation, and solid waste services;
therefore, these activities are included in the reporting entity.
Economic Outlook and Strength
The City benefits from its location at the junction of Interstate Highways 70 and 135. This convenient
location has drawn numerous national and regional companies to open manufacturing or distribution centers
in or adjacent to the community. Such companies include Pepsi-cola, Exide Battery, Philips Lighting,
ElDorado Bus, and Schwans. Currently manufacturing, retail trade, and service industries rank as the three
primary employers in the City. No single industry is dominant.
The City of Salina retains its position near the top of a list of first class cities with respect to ‘trade pull factor.”
The pull factor measures the degree to which a city or county area captures retail trade from outside the
jurisdiction. A pull factor of greater than 1 indicates that a city is attracting more retail trade from outside the
city/county than it is losing to other counties. It is apparent from this that Salina continues to serve as a
regional economic hub in 2015.
Major Initiatives
In November, 2008, voters elected to increase the ¼ cent tax to .40 cent, and extend the sunset for an
additional ten years. until March 31, 2019. Ninety-three percent (93%) of the tax is to be used for capital
improvements and tax stabilization. The remaining tax is to be used for economic development programs.
In 2014 several major projects were initiated, including the reconstruction of East Iron Avenue,
reconstruction of the Ohio and North Street and the 9th and Cloud Intersections, the final phase of
remodeling on Fire Station #1, construction of an additional landfill cell, and continuation of water system
distribution improvements and the next phase of Bicentennial Center remodeling.
Solid Waste disposal is becoming a stable operation, with 90,000 to 100,000 tons being disposed of each
year. The community remains committed to recycling and resource conservation, with several initiatives that
began in 1997, including a yard waste recyc ling and composting program in addition to continuing a
mulching mower rebate program. The community currently has about 4,700 yard carts placed to encourage
recycling of yard waste as an alternative to disposal. A Pilot residential recycling program was continued in
2004. The curbside recycling program was converted to a permanent service in 2005, with 900 households
participating.
iii
For several years McPherson County has used the Salina solid waste facility to dispose of a portion of their
solid waste stream. This provided approximately 20,000 tons per year and a concomitant revenue stream.
During 2014, they opened their own disposal facility, and as a result, the Salina facility has experienced a
reduction in tonnage and associated revenues. Several adjustments to operations have been made in order
to accommodate these changes.
2014 saw the dissolution of the City-County Health Department. As a result, the City of Salina terminated
contributions to the consolidated operation, saving $1,018,031 in expenditures (budgetary basis) and
absorbed the cost of operating the Animal Control operations, including operation of the Animal Shelter.
This added $505,232 in expenditures (budgetary basis) to the General Fund, as well as 6 staff positions.
Addressing fiduciary pressures generated by a recessionary economy has also been a challenge. The
primary approach has been to reduce staffing through attrition, after careful evaluation of each vacancy. By
the end of 2014, full time staffing had been reduced from 511 to 473.
The freeze on salaries was removed in 2011, with an allowance granted for an average 2% merit review.
However, general adjustments to the pay plan for cost of living changes have not been resumed.
Capital Improvement Planning
The City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) consists of two components. One component consists of
“routine” capital—including vehicle and equipment replacement, technology replacement, building repair and
improvement, routine pavement maintenance activity, utility system enhancements and similar items. The
amount of funding for these projects may fluctuate based on needs and funding availability, however,
planned amounts are allocated over a multi-year period. Source of funding for routine capital is current cash
resources from the fund appropriate to the nature of the purchase.
The second component of the CIP includes major projects that typically require issuance of bonds or notes,
although these projects may also be supplemented with available cash and grant financing. The plan is
updated each year after an extensive evaluation of the demands on future financial resources. The Capital
Improvement program is scheduled for a major revision as the result of the sales tax to be used for that
purpose.

acquisition) may precede this date by one or more years, and permanent financing may not occur until one
(or more years depending on project magnitude) subsequent to this date.
iv
Financial Policies
The City has adopted a formal set of Budgetary and Financial Policies, addressing such items as fund
balances, capital improvements, operating budgets, long term debt management, accounting, auditing and
financial reporting, revenues, cash management and investments. Financial policies contribute to financial
stability by:
1.Providing consistent guidance in decision making
2.Establishing appropriate levels of fund balances
3.Governing the use of one time or unanticipated resources
4.Providing a multi-year capital improvements process
5.Establishing responsibilities and deadlines for budget preparation
6.Providing for a balanced annual operating budget
7.Providing guidelines on the use of debt, including appropriate purposes and terms
8.Provide a linkage between capital improvement scheduling and long term debt management
planning
9.Require annual audits and financial reporting in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Procedures
10.Require timely and regular interim financial reporting to the Governing body
11.Insure the safety of cash and near cash resources (timely collection of Accounts Receivable,
etc.).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Salina, Kansas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Salina, Kansas, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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 the financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States
and the Kansas Municipal Audit and Accounting Guide. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. We did not audit
the financial statements of the Salina Airport Authority which statements reflect total assets of $48,066,222 as of
December 31, 2014 and total revenues of $4,754,345 for the year then ended, and the Housing Authority of the City of
Salina which statements reflect total assets of $7,598,529 as of June 30, 2014 and total revenues of $2,136,062 for the
year then ended, which are discretely presented component units in the accompanying financial statements. Those
financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Salina Airport Authority and the Housing Authority of the City of
Salina is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
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 entity’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 entity’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.
Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors,the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Salina, Kansas, as of December 31, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General, Tourism and Convention, Special Gas and
Sales Tax Capital Funds for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
2
Emphasis of Matter
Prior Period Restatement
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, certain errors resulting in amounts previously reported as
expenses and capital assets as of December 31, 2013, were discovered by management of the City during the
current year. Accordingly, these amounts have been restated in the December 31, 2014, financial statements now
presented, and adjustments have been made to net position to correct the error. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to these matters.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion
and analysis on pages 3 through 13 and the schedules of funding progress on page 59 be presented to supplement
the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods
of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules, and statistical tables as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of
federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as 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.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison schedules and the
schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate
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 account and other
records used to prepare the basic 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 as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 22, 2015, 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 grants 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 integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
Management Discussion and Analysis
This section of the report contains an overview and analysis of the City of Salina’s financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014. The information contained here, as well as the information contained in the letter of
transmittal, are intended to provide the reader of the financial statements with a well-rounded picture of the City’s
financial condition.
Financial Highlights
The City’s net position increased by $4.5 million from current operations. Governmental net position decreased
by $1.0 million and Business-Type net position increased by $5.5 million.
The change in net position was primarily due to spend-down of previously received funds for the abatement of
groundwater contamination in the Schilling Industrial complex.
At the close of 2014, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $18,330,169, an
increase of $702,586 over the prior year. This resulted from a combination of factors, the most notable of which
were an increase in Capital Projects fund balances ($2,135,485) and a decrease in the Schilling Groundwater
Abatement Capital project ($1,627,511). General Fund balances increased from $3,549,740 to $4,254,429, an
increase of $704,689 (19.8%)
At the close of 2014, the City’s enterprise funds reported combined ending Net Position of $82,778,234, an
increase of $6,328,769 over the prior year. Positive performance was shared by all enterprise funds, with, of
course, the Water and Sewer Fund providing the bulk of the change ($4,060,679).
Total revenues decreased by $6,472,000, due to a change in grant revenue resulting from the Schilling
groundwater contamination project.
Investment revenues continue to be very minimal.
The City-County Joint Health Department was dissolved at the close of 2013; with the City of Salina assuming
responsibility for operations (and expenses) of the Animal Control operation. This added 6 staff positions and
$505,232 (budgetary basis) in expenses for 2014. However, the additional expense was more than offset by a
reduction in contractual service expenses of $1,018,031 (budgetary basis) compared to 2013.
The Basic Financial Statements
The basic financial statements of the City include the government-wide financial statements and the fund financial
statements. The notes to the financial statements follow the basic financial statements, and are essential for the
reader’s understanding of the financial statements. Other supplementary information, including the combining
schedules for non-major funds and the budgetary comparison reports, are at the end of this report to provide
additional information for the reader.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements present the results of the City’s operations using the accrual basis of
accounting, the same basis as is used by private sector businesses. These statements focus on the long-term
financial picture of the City as a whole
The Statement of Net Position reports all of the City’s assets and liabilities. Net position, the difference between
assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities, are an important measure of the City’s overall financial
health. Net position represents the total accumulated and unused resources available to the City for the purpose of
providing services. Over time, the increases and decreases in net position can be monitored to determine if the
City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities shows how net position has changed during the fiscal year. One unique feature of this
statement is how it shows the revenues and expenses related to specific programs and how much of those programs
were supported by the general taxes of the City. Since this statement is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting,
all revenues and expenses are included, regardless of when cash is actually received. Both statements show the
operations of the City broken down between governmental and business type activities. Governmental activities are
the operations of the City generally supported by taxes, such as public safety (police, fire, and EMS), public works,

public health, and culture &recreation. Business-type activities are operations of the City that are intended to
recover a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. These include water and sewer, refuse
collection, the golf course, and operation of the City solid waste facility.
The government-wide financial statements include the Salina Airport Authority and Salina Housing Authority as
discretely presented component units of the City. Note 1, item A in the Notes to the Financial Statements provides a
more complete explanation of the relationship between these entities and the City of Salina.
Fund Financial Statements
The City uses three types of funds to manage its resources: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds. A fund is a fiscal entity with a set of self-balancing accounts recording financial resources together with all
related liabilities and residual equities and balances, and the changes therein. These accounting entities are
separated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with
regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
Governmental fund financial statements are prepared on a modified accrual basis. Under this basis, revenues are
recognized when they become measurable and available, and expenditures are recognized when the related fund
liability is incurred with the exception of long term debt and similar items which are recorded when due. The focus is
on the short-term financial picture of the operations of the individual fund, rather than long-term citywide view
provided by the government-wide statements. Major governmental funds are presented in individual columns, while
non-major governmental funds are aggregated into an “Other Governmental Funds”column. A combining statement
for the non-major funds is presented as supplementary information in the back of the report. The information
presented in these statements can be compared to the governmental activities information in the government-wide
statements. The reconciliation at the end of the fund financial statements details the relationship between the two
types of financial statements.
Proprietary funds fall into two categories: enterprise funds and internal service funds. All proprietary funds are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, and are used to account for business-type activities. Enterprise fund
statements present the same information that is in the government-wide statements for business-type activities, but
in greater detail. The City of Salina currently operates four enterprise funds: Sanitation, Solid Waste Disposal, Golf
Course, and Water and Sewer. Internal service funds are used to account for the cost of operations shared by
various departments of the City. The city operates five internal service funds. Three of these are for self-insurance
activity: Risk Management, Workers Compensation Reserve, and Health Insurance. The remaining two account for
our Information Services activity and for the Central Garage operation. A combining statement for these internal
service funds can be found in the supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements.
Fiduciary funds are used by the City to account for resources held by the City for a third party. Agency funds are a
special class of fiduciary fund in which liabilities always equal assets, and thus there is no net position. The City of
Salina operates nine agency funds. Schedules for these funds may be viewed in the supplementary section of this
report.
Permanent funds are used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, not principal,
may be used. Permanent funds operated by the City include the Citizenship Trust, Cemetery and Mausoleum
Endowments, and the Tri-centennial Commission fund.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of the basic financial statements since they contain valuable
additional information necessary for gaining a complete understanding of the City’s financial statements.

The City as a Whole
This section will identify, discuss, and analyze significant differences and trends that will enhance the reader’s
understanding of the City’s financial position.
Tax Base and Economy
The City of Salina relies on three major groups of revenues to support its’operations. Each of these revenue
streams has a different revenue base. In declining order of magnitude, they are charges for services, sales taxes,
and property taxes. Sales taxes and property taxes apply primarily to governmental activities, while charges for
services apply to both governmental (32%) and business-type (68%) activities.
Charges for Services account for about 47% ($37,014,000) of the City’s revenue stream. Charges for service
depend on both the rate that is set for the activity, as well as the volume of services provided. The following table
illustrates service volume and rate adjustments for some of the more significant services for the year ending
December 31, 2014.

Sales taxes are the next largest component of the revenue mix, providing 22% ($17,150,033) of the total revenues.
The City receives a .90% City-wide sales tax, and also a portion of the County-wide 1% sales tax. Forty-four percent,
(a rate of .4%)of the City-wide sales tax is required to be used for special purposes. The remaining .5%,along with
the City portion of the County-wide tax is available for general purposes. Total revenue from the sales tax in 2014
was up from $16,540,435 in 2013. This 3.7%increase follows a 1.0% increase for 2013.
A number of factors affect the sales tax. First are the regional and local economic conditions and relationships.
These are most directly reflected in the proceeds of the City-wide tax, which grew by 4.3%, compared to .8% in 2013.
The City was unfavorably affected by the formula used to distribute the County-wide sales tax among participating
jurisdictions (only Cities and the County participate, School and other special districts do not). The formula is based,
in part, on the property tax efforts of each jurisdiction. Because the portion of the overlapping levy attributable to the
City of Salina was decreased for 2014, the City’s allocated portion of the County-wide sales tax was also decreased
from 60.86% in 2012 to 60.22% in 2014. The decline in the City of Salina share of Countywide sales tax is a long
term trend. As a matter of comparison, five years ago (2009) the City share was 62.47%.
On November 4, 2008, Salina voters approved an increase of the special purpose .25% tax to a .40% tax. The
extended tax is to sunset March 31, 2019. The tax was also modestly re-purposed, for Capital and Economic
Development purposes only, as well as retaining a property tax stabilization component.
Property Taxes are the third major component of the revenue mix, accounting for 15% ($12,143,105)of total
revenues. Property taxes consist of two components: Real estate and personal property taxes which are
determined by the mill levy set by the city and the assessed value of the property; and motor vehicle taxes, which are
established by a countywide average tax rate, and the assessed value of the vehicle.
Real estate assessed value increased by .6%. The total City mill levy increased by 3.8%. The overlapping levy also
increased, by 3.1%. Tax delinquency decreased from 4.1%to 3.5%.
Personal property value continued to slide, presumably as a result of removing business equipment from the tax
base. Personal property value has now dropped to $13.7 million from its’peak of $39.7 million in 2007. At the 2014
tax rate, this exemption is equivalent to $701,146 in lost revenue for 2014.
Motor vehicle value was stable, however, it is still well below 2010 values. Motor vehicle taxes are distributed based
on a formula using prior ye ar’s tax effort (similar to the Countywide Sales Tax Distribution).
The following table summarizes the comparative property assessed values and tax levy rates:

Comparative Property Values and Tax Levy Rates
The unemployment rate in Salina increased slightly from 5.1% in 2013 to 5.3% in 2014, reflecting general economic
conditions. This is still slightly below the statewide and significantly below the national unemployment rate. The total
labor force declined to 26,303, a change of .5%.
In 2014, the top ten property taxpayers accounted for 7.19% of total assessed value. This is less concentrated than
ten years ago (at 10.87%).

Condensed Statement of Net Position
As of December 31
(In $000)
Total Primary Government
The largest segment of the City’s net position (85%) reflects its investment in capital assets (land, buildings, streets
and drainage facilities, utility plant, vehicles, equipment, etc.), less any debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to citizens. As a result, resources required to retire related
debt cannot come from liquidation of the asset. Such resources generally must be provided from other sources, such
as future taxes or user charges.
A small portion of net position (1%) is restricted for debt service and permanent funds . The remainder (unrestricted)
of net position (15%) may be used to meet the City’s obligations to citizens and creditors. This represents slight
growth in this component compared to 2013.
In 2014, the amount of net investment in capital assets increased by $3,622,000. Unrestricted net position increased
by $1,537,000.These represent diverse changes throughout the financial statement. However, it is clear that for
2014, the City experienced an increase in current assets, including cash and investments.
Total liabilities increased in governmental activities and in business-type activities. In governmental activities, the
increase was distributed between current and non-current liabilities. In business type activities current liabilities
decreased, while non-current liabilities increased substantially. The increase in non-current liabilities is largely
related to completion of projects financed by the Kansas Water Supply Loan Fund.

Governmental Activities. Total expenses for governmental activities for the year ending December 31, 2014 were
$54,714,000 compared to $53,221,000 in 2013. Governmental activities represent 73%of the City’s total expenses.
The largest element of governmental activity expense was public safety, accounting for 27% of the total.
Governmental Activity expenses were also affected by the dissolution of the Joint City-County Health Department,
which provided a net savings to the City of about $500,000 for the year.
Charges for service attributable to governmental activities totaled $11,885,000 and operating grants for those
purposes were $4,015,000. Both have declined slightly from 2013. The balance was funded by general revenues.
Sales taxes accounted for $17,150,000 of the general revenues, with property taxes providing $12,143,000.Net
assets decreased by $1,032,000 as a result of governmental activities.
Business Type Activities. Total expenses for business-type activities for the year were $20,015,000, or 27% of the
City’s total expense. The majority of this expense ($14,903,000)is attributable to water and sewer operations, with
the other activities costing a combined total of $5,112,000. These activities are primarily supported by user charges,
with only $328,000 coming from investment and miscellaneous revenues. Net position increased by $5,558,000 as a

as of December 31,
Total governmental fund balances increased by $702,586. The main reasons for these changes are varied. The
Schilling Capital Improvement Fund, which was created to account for U.S. Government and other funds received for
the abatement of groundwater contamination, decreased significantly as the City uses funds previously distributed.
The Capital Projects Fund increase was largely the result of Bond and Note proceeds received. The General Fund
balances grew noticeably.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
Total revenues and other sources decreased by $9,782,411 from 2013 to 2014. The largest components of this
change were in the Schilling Capital Improvement Fund (for which a large one-time grant was received in 2013)and
the Capital Projects Fund.Other changes include an increase in General and Tourism Fund revenues.
Expenditures generally increased, with the notable exception of the General and Capital Projects Funds. General
Fund expenditures were, of course, affected by the dissolution of the Joint City-County Health Department, which
provided a net savings to the Fund of about $500,000 for the year.

Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position
All enterprise funds show healthy results, with increases in net position. The decline in expenses in the Solid Waste
Fund are largely due to the deferral of some internal transfers (to capital improvement reserves) pending assessment
of operational changes. Other enterprise funds experienced good revenue production and controlled expenses,
resulting in positive outcomes.

Budgetary Highlights
The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Commission. The legal level of budgetary control is maintained at the fund
level, in accordance with State Statutes. Management control is maintained at the departmental level. Within the
departments, considerable discretion is permitted. The City uses an encumbrance accounting system, in which
estimated purchase orders are recorded prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors. Open purchase orders
are reported as reservations of budgetary basis fund balances at December 31, 2014. Formal budgetary
amendments are limited to those circumstances in which the need is perceived to alter the total fund budget. Re-
allocation among departments or line items are not typically recorded as budgetary amendments.
However, in addition to formal amendments, departments within the City are allowed to transfer budget between line
items within a department. Budgets may also be transferred from department to department within each fund. As a
result of these transfers, the original budget and the final budgets may not be the same for departments within a
fund.
The City experienced a number of significant variances from budgeted items in the General Fund,however, the total
fund was within budgeted expenses.
Several expenditure items were also significantly over or under budget. Several Departments exceeded budgeted
expenditures.

The notes to the basic financial statements are an integral part of this statement.
Total Net Change In Fund Balances - Governmental Funds 549,140$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities are different because
Capital outlays to purchase or build assets are reported in governmental funds
as expenditures. However, for governmental activities those costs are shown
in the statement of net position and allocated over their estimated useful lives
as annual depreciation expenses in the statement of activities. This is the
amount by which capital outlays exceeds depreciation in the period.
Gain on sale of assets 66,032
Proceeds from sale of assets [89,492]
Capital outlays 5,553,033
Depreciation expense [5,452,848] 76,725
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount
reported in the governmental funds because interest is recorded as an
expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current
financial resources. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense
is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. This is
the amount by which interest decreased.46,847
An internal service fund is used by the city's management to charge the
costs of certain activities to the individual funds. The revenues and expenses
of certain internal service fund is reported with governmental activities.[744,359]
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities, such as compensated
absences and other post employment benefits, do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds.[313,072]
Bond, temporary note and lease proceeds are other financing sources in the
governmental funds, but they increase long-term liabilities in the statement of net
position and do not affect the statement of activities. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when
debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the
treatment of long-term debt and related items.[5,907,757]
Repayment of bond principal and bond issuance costs is an expenditure
in the governmental funds, but it reduces long-term liabilities in the statement
of net position and does not affect the statement of activities.5,260,417

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.Reporting Entity
The City of Salina, Kansas (the City) is a municipal corporation governed by a mayor and a five-member
commission. These financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the
government is considered to be financially accountable. Each discretely presented component unit is
reported in a separate column in the government wide statements to emphasize that it is legally separated
from the government.
Discretely Presented Component Units
City of Salina Airport Authority -The Salina Airport Authority was created for the purpose of accepting as
surplus property portions of the former Schilling A.F.B that was closed by the United States Department of
Defense in June 1965. One of the primary functions of the Airport Authority is to facilitate the continued
growth of jobs and payroll at the Airport Industrial Center. The Airport Authority is managed and controlled by
a five-member Board of Directors appointed by the Salina City Commission. Any director may be removed
by a majority vote of the Salina City Commission. The Airport Authority’s basic mill levy (up to 3 mills)
requires the approval of the City Commission. The Commission must also approve the issuance of general
obligation debt by the Airport Authority. The Airport Authority has a December 31 fiscal year end.
Housing Authority of the City of Salina -The purpose of the Housing Authority of the City of Salina (Housing
Authority) is to administer Public Housing Programs authorized by the United States Housing Act of 1937.
The Mayor of the City of Salina appoints the governing board. The City Commission may remove
commissioners of the Housing Authority. The City must issue revenue bonds for the Housing Authority. The
financial liability of the Housing Authority is essentially supported by the operating and debt service subsidies
received under contract from the Federal government. The Housing Authority has a June 30 fiscal year end.
Information in the accompanying financial statements covers the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
Complete financial statements for each of the individual component units may be obtained at the entity’s
administrative offices.

Joint Ventures
The City of Salina also participates with Saline County in one joint venture. The City and County organized
the Salina County-City Building Authority to acquire, operate and maintain facilities for the administrative
offices of both governments. The primary governments each have an ongoing financial responsibility for the
joint venture. Separate financial statements are available from the governing board of the joint venture.

B.Government-wide and fund financial statements
The statement of net position and the statement of activities report information on all of the nonfiduciary
activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity
has been removed from these statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s
governmental and business-type activities. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is
reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is
financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service,
program or department and therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include
charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program and grants and contributions
that are restricted to meeting the operational requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items,
which are not classified as program revenues,are presented as general revenues of the city.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds,
even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual funds
are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and
presented in a single column in the fund financial statements.
C.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property
taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt
service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available
financial resources.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Property taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to
accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements and shared
revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met.
Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred
and all other grant requirements have been met.
Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net
position. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection with a
proprietary fund’s ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s proprietary funds are
charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service
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 revenues and expenses.
The internal service funds account for risk management, worker’s compensation, health insurance, central
garage and information services that are provided to other departments or agencies of the government, or to
other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not measure results of operations or have a measurement
focus. Agency funds do however use the accrual basis of accounting.Agency funds are used to account for

D. Assets, Liabilities, Fund Balance, and Net Position
1. Pooled cash and investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds managed by the city.
Each fund type’s portion of this pool is displayed in the financial statements as “Cash and Investments.” The
city’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments in the
Kansas Municipal Pool are carried at fair value.
Cash balances from all funds are invested to the extent available in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Investments with maturity dates greater than three months are stated separately.
Earnings from these investments, unless specifically designated, are allocated monthly to the investing fund
based on the percentage of funds invested to total investments. All investments are carried at fair value.
2. Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the year are referred to as either “interfund receivables/payables” (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.”
Accounts Receivable. The City records revenues when services are provided. All receivables are shown net
of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property taxes receivable. Collection of current year property tax by the County Treasurer is not completed,
apportioned or distributed to the various subdivisions until the succeeding year, such procedure being in
conformity with governing state statutes. Consequently, current year property taxes receivable are not
available as a resource that can be used to finance the current year operations of the City and, therefore, are
not susceptible to accrual. Accruals of uncollected current year property taxes are offset by deferred revenue
and are identical to the adopted budget for 2015. It is not practicable to apportion delinquent taxes held by
the County Treasurer at the end of the accounting period, and further, the amounts thereof are not material in
relationship to the financial statements taken as a whole.

2. Receivables and Payables (Continued)
The determination of assessed valuations and the collection of property taxes for all political subdivisions in
the State of Kansas are the responsibility of the various counties. The County Appraiser annually determines
assessed valuations on January 1 and the County Clerk spreads the annual assessment on the tax rolls. The
County Treasurer is the tax collection agent for all taxing entities within the County. In accordance with state
statutes, property taxes levied during the current year are a revenue source to be used to finance the budget
of the ensuing year. Property taxes are levied and liens against property are placed on November 1 of the
year prior to the fiscal year for which they are budgeted. Payments are due November 1, becoming
delinquent, with penalty, December 21. Payments of 50% are accepted through December 20, with the
second 50% then being due on or before May 10 of the following year. This procedure eliminates the need
to issue tax anticipation notes since funds will be on hand prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. The City
Treasurer draws down all available funds from the County Treasurer’s office in two-month intervals. Taxes
remaining due and unpaid at February 15 and July 1 are subject to collection procedures prescribed in state
statutes.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of governmental fund-type
inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items.
4.Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets, are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.
Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000
and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market
value at the date of donation. Capital assets used in governmental fund types of the City are recorded at
cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at their
estimated fair value at the date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend
assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type is included in the capitalized value
of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 50
Other equipment 5 -15
Vehicles 6 -10
Infrastructure 30 -50

5. Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits.
All employees of the City, except temporary and part time employees, may accumulate sick leave at a rate of
8 or 11 hours per month depending on their work duty schedule. There is no limit on the amount of sick
leave that can be accumulated. Employees with more than five years of service with the City are paid for
one-third of their accumulated sick leave at their current wage scale upon termination of employment in good
standing. In 2001, a limited buy back policy was instituted.
All regular employees are entitled to paid vacation time. Such leave is granted each year of employm ent.
Employees must use 50% of leave accrued each calendar year and an employee's maximum accrued
vacation leave balance cannot exceed 250 hours (or 350 hours for employees working 24 hour shifts).
Employees are paid for all accumulated vacation leave at their current wage scale upon termination of
employm ent.
Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources is reported as an expenditure and a fund liability in the government fund financial statements that
will pay it. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for
example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. Vested or accumulated vacation leave of the
business-type funds and government wide financial statements are recorded as an expense and liability of
those funds as the benefits accrue to employees. A liability is recorded for accumulated rights to receive sick
pay benefits that are payable upon termination of employment.
The General Fund, Bicentennial Center Fund, Central Garage Fund, Information Systems Fund, Sanitation
Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Golf Course Fund, and Water and Sewer Fund have been used in prior years to
liquidate the liability for compensated absences.
6.Temporary Notes
Upon authorization for the issuance of general obligation bonds for certain improvements, Kansas law
permits the temporary financing of such improvements by the issuance of temporary notes. Temporary
notes issued may not exceed the aggregate amount of bonds authorized, are interest bearing and have a
maturity date not later than four years from the date of issuance of such temporary notes. Temporary notes
outstanding are retired from the proceeds of the sale of general obligation bonds.
7. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond
issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well
as issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing
sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on
debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual
debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

8. Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in the following classifications:
nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. Nonspendable fund balance includes
amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact. Restricted fund balance indicates that constraints have been placed on the
use of resources either by being externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations
of other governments or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed
fund balances include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed
by formal action of the city commission. Assigned fund balances include amounts that are constrained by the
City management’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has
not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. When an
expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available
restricted amounts are considered to be spent first.When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which
committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance is available, the following is the order in which resources
will be expended: committed, assigned and unassigned.

D.Assets, Liabilities, Fund Balance, and Net Position (Continued)
9. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as
an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The government only has one item that qualifies
for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge on bond issuance reported in the government-wide
statement of net position. A deferred charge on bond issuance results from the difference in the carrying
value of the debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the life of the -
debt.
10. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
11. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities. Net investment in capital assets
consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any
borrowings used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as
restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by
the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other
governments.
Note 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A.Budgetary Information
Kansas statutes require that an annual operating budget be legally adopted for the general fund, special
revenue funds (unless specifically exempted by statute), debt service fund, and enterprise funds.
The statutes provide for the following sequence and timetable in the adoption of the legal annual operating
budget:
1.Preparation of the budget for the succeeding year on or before August 1.
2.Publication in local newspaper of the proposed budget and notice of public hearing on the budget on or
before August 5.
3.Public hearing on or before August 15, but at least ten days after publication of notice of hearing.
4.Adoption of the final budget on or before August 25.
The statutes allow the governing body to increase the originally adopted budget for previously unbudgeted
increases in revenue other than ad valorem property taxes. To do this, a notice of public hearing to amend
the budget must be published in the local newspaper. At least ten days after publication the hearing may be
held and the governing body may amend the budget at that time. The 2014 budget was not amended.

Note 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY (Continued)
A.Budgetary Information (Continued)
The statutes permit management to transfer budgeted amounts between line items within an individual fund.
However, such statutes prohibit expenditures in excess of the total amount of the adopted budget of
expenditures of individual funds. Budget comparison statements are presented for each fund showing actual
receipts and expenditures compared to legally budgeted receipts and expenditures.
All legal annual operating budgets are prepared using the statutory basis of accounting, in which, revenues
are recognized when cash is received, and expenditures include disbursements, accounts payable, and
encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments by the municipality for future payments and are supported
by a document evidencing the commitment, such as a purchase order or contract. All unencumbered
appropriations (legal budget expenditure authority) lapse at year end.
A legal operating budget is not required for capital projects funds, non-major debt service funds, trust funds,
and the following special revenue funds: Bicentennial Center Event, HUD Community Development,
Community Development Revolving, Heritage Commission, HOME 2012,KDOT Signals 9th Street, Flood &
Drainage Improvement, CDBG ED, Kenwood Cover Capital, Special Law Enforcement, Police Grants, DARE
Donations,War Memorial Maintenance, Federal CARE Grant, Police Department Federal Forfeiture,
Homeowners’ Assistance and Animal Shelter Donations Funds. A legal operating budget is not required for
the following Enterprise funds: Solid Waste Disposal, Water and Sewer, Sanitation and Golf Course funds.
A legal operating budget is also not required for the Internal Service funds. Actual to budget comparisons for
these funds that present budgets to the Commissioners are shown strictly for informational purposes.
Spending in funds, which are not subject to the legal annual operating budget requirements are controlled by
federal regulations, other statutes, or by the use of internal spending limits established by the governing
body.
B.Statutory Violations
Actual exceeded budgeted expenditures at December 31, 2014 in the Tourism and Convention Fund,
Sales Tax Capital Fund, Bicentennial Center Fund, Sales Tax Economic Development Fund and Fair
Housing Fund, which violates KSA 79-2935.
C.Legal Debt Margin
The City is subject to the municipal finance law of the state of Kansas which limits the bonded debt (exclusive
of revenue bonds and special assessment bonds) the city may have outstanding to 30 percent of the
assessed value of all tangible taxable property within the city, as certified to the county clerk on the
proceeding August 25. At December 31, 2014, the statutory limit for the City was $136,896,083, providing a
debt margin of $82,270,392.

Note 4. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A.Deposits and Investments
The City’s cash is considered to be active funds by management and is invested according to KSA 9-1401.
The statute requires that banks eligible to hold active funds have a main or branch bank in the county in
which the City is located or in a county adjacent to the City and the banks provide an acceptable rate for
active funds.
Various City investments are considered to be idle funds by management and are invested according to KSA
12-1675. The statute requires that the City invest its idle funds in only temporary notes of the City, bank
certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, and if eligible banks do not offer an acceptable rate for the
funds: U.S. Treasury bills or notes or the Municipal Investment Pool (KMIP). Maturities of the above
investments may not exceed two years by statute.
Some of the City’s investments are of bond proceeds invested pursuant to KSA 10-131. This statute allows
additional investment authority beyond that of KSA 12-1675. Investments of bond proceeds may follow KSA
12-1675 or include other investments such as the KMIP, direct obligations of the U.S.government or any
agency thereof, investment agreements with a financial institution the obligations of which at the time of
investment are rated in either of the three highest rating categories by Moody’s investors service or Standard
and Poor’s corporation, and various other investments as specified in KSA 10-131.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A.Deposits and Investments (Continued)
The municipal investment pool is under the oversight of the Pooled Money Investment Board. The board is
comprised of the State Treasurer and four additional members appointed by the State Governor. The board
reports annually to the Kansas legislature. State pooled monies may be invested in direct obligations of, or
obligations that are insured as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or any agency thereof, with
maturities up to four years. No more than 10 percent of those funds may be invested in mortgage-backed
securities. In addition, the State pool may invest in repurchase agreements with Kansas banks or with
primary government securities dealers.
The City’s investment policy provides direction on concentration risk. The City policy states that funds shall
be diversified to reduce the extent of losses due to having an unbalanced portfolio in terms of maturities,
instrument type, and issuers. Therefore, portfolio maturities shall be staggered to avoid undue concentration
of assets in a specific maturity sector. Liquidity, free of market risk, shall be assured through practices
insuring that the next disbursement date and payroll date are covered through maturing investments,
marketable U.S. Treasury Bills, the Municipal Investment Pool, or money market accounts.
Default risk shall be minimized by requiring that all security purchases occur on a delivery vs. payment basis,
and that all securities are adequately collateralized.
Risk of market price volatility shall be controlled through the adoption of a "buy and hold" strategy whereby
the City holds each investment to maturity, coupled with maintenance of an adequate liquidity position to
insure the ability to meet normal anticipated cash flow needs.
When advantageous, it is allowable to sell investments to realize a gain due to price fluctuations; however,
such transactions shall not be a part of the normal course of business.
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various
technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio diversification is employed as a way to
control risk due to issuer default. In the event of a default by a specific issuer, the Director of Finance and
Administration shall review, and, if appropriate, proceed to liquidate securities having comparable credit risks.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it.
The City’s deposit policy for custodial credit risk require that the depository banks will maintain 100% security
in the form of FDIC coverage and pledged collateral according to KSA 9-1402.

Special Assessment Debt - Component Units
Special assessments. As provided by Kansas statutes, projects financed in part by special assessments are
financed through general obligation bonds of the City and are retired from the debt service fund. Special
assessments paid prior to the issuance of bonds are recorded as revenue in the appropriate project. Special
assessments received after the issuance of bonds are recorded as revenue in the debt service fund. The
special assessments are not recorded as revenue when levied against the respective property owners as
such amounts are not available to finance current year operations. The special assessment debt is a
contingent obligation of the City to the extent of property owner defaults, which have historically been
immaterial.
Conduit debt. The City has entered into several conduit debt arrangements wherein the City issues industrial
revenue bonds to finance a portion of the construction of facilities by private enterprises. In return, the private
enterprises have executed mortgage notes or leases with the City. The City is not responsible for payment of
the original bonds, but rather the debt is secured only by the cash payments agreed to be paid by the private
enterprises under the terms of the mortgage or lease agreements. Generally, the conduit debt is arranged so
that payments required by the private enterprises are equal to the mortgage payments schedule related to the
original debt. At December 31, 2014, total outstanding conduit debt was $60,442,007.

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION
A. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Plan description. The City participates in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) and the
Kansas Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (KP&F). Both are cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plans as provided by Kansas statutes (KSA 74-4901 et seq). KPERS and KP&F provide
retirement benefits, life insurance, disability income benefits and death benefits. Kansas law establishes and
amends benefit provisions. KPERS and KP&F issue a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information. Those reports may be obtained by writing to KPERS
(611 South Kansas, Suite 100; Topeka, Kansas 66603)or by calling 1-888-275-5737.
Funding Policy. K.S.A. 74-4919 establishes the KPERS member-employee contribution rate at up to 5% of
covered salary for all employees hired prior to July 1, 2009. K.S.A. 74-49,210 establishes the KPERS rate at
6% of covered salary for all employees hired after July 1, 2009. K.S.A. 74-4975 establishes the KP&F
member-employee contribution rate at 7% of covered salary. The employer collects and remits member-
employee contributions according to the provisions of section 414 (h) of the Internal Revenue Code. State law
provides that the employer contribution rates be determined annually based on the results of an annual
actuarial valuation. KPERS and KP&F are funded on an actuarial reserve basis. State law sets a limitation on
annual increases in the employer contribution rates. The KPERS employer rate was 9.32% from January 1 to
December 31, 2014.The City employer contributions to KPERS for the years ending December 31, 2014,
2013, and 2012 were $1,357,291, $1,192,221 and $1,081,438, respectively, equal to the required
contributions for each year. The KP&F employer rate established for fiscal years beginning in 2014 is
24.75%. Employers participating in KP&F also make contributions to amortize the liability for past service
costs, if any, which are determined separately for each participating employer. The City's contributions to
KP&F for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $2,611,038, $2,338,786 and
$2,007,908, respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year.
B. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan ("Plan") created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their
salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. Plan assets are transferred to a plan agent in a custodial
trust and are not available to the claims of the City's general creditors.
C. Flexible Benefit Plan (I.R.C. Section 125)
The City Commission has adopted by resolution a salary reduction flexible benefit plan ("Plan") under Section
125 of the Internal Revenue Code. All City employees working more than 20 hours per week are eligible to
participate in the Plan beginning after two full months of employment. Each participant may elect to reduce
his or her salary to purchase benefits offered through the Plan. Benefits offered through the Plan include
various insurance and disability benefits.
D. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; natural disasters and other events for which the City carries commercial insurance. No
significant reductions in insurance coverage from that of the prior year have occurred. Settlements have not
exceeded insurance coverage for each of the past three years.

D. Risk Management (Continued)
The City has established a limited risk management program for workers’ compensation. The program
covers all City employees. Premiums are paid into the Workers’ Compensation Reserve Fund by all other
funds and are available to pay claims, claim reserves and administrative costs of the program. An excess
coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $250,000 ($350,000 for claims involving
employees classified as policemen or firemen). Incurred claims, including incurred but not reported claims,
have been accrued based primarily upon subsequent payments. Claim liabilities are calculated considering
the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amounts of payouts and other
economic and social factors. The liability for claims and judgments is reported in the W orkers' Compensation
Reserve Fund because it is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Of the
liability, $177,561 is considered to be due within one year. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities
during the past two years are as follows:
2014 2013

The City established a limited risk management program for employee health and dental insurance in 1997.
The program covers eligible City employees. Premiums are paid into the health insurance fund by all other
funds and are available to pay claims, claim reserves and administrative costs of the program. An excess
coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $50,000. Incurred claims, including incurred
but not reported claims, have been accrued based primarily upon subsequent payments. Claim liabilities are
calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and
amounts of payouts and other economic and social factors. The liability for claims and judgments is reported
in the Health Insurance Fund because it is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources. Therefore, all of the liability is considered to be due within one year. Changes in the balances of
claims liabilities during the past two years are as follows:
2014 2013

F. Contingent Liabilities
The City receives significant financial assistance from numerous federal and state governmental agencies in
the form of grants and state pass-through aid. The disbursement of funds received under these programs
generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to
audit. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the General Fund or other
applicable funds. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed claims would not have a
material effect on any of the financial statements of the City at December 31, 2014.
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently
determinable, it is the opinion of the City's legal counsel that resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
G. Municipal Solid W aste Landfill
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill site when it stops
accepting waste, and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after
closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill
stops accepting waste, the City reports a portion of these closure and postclosure care costs as an operating
expense of the solid waste fund in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet
date. The $1,773,027 reported as landfill closure and postclosure care liability at December 31 represents
the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 28.8% of the estimated capacity of the landfill.

G. Municipal Solid W aste Landfill (Continued)
The City's solid waste fund will recognize the remaining estimate cost of closure and postclosure care of
$4,378,208 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled over the remaining life expectancy of 145 years.
These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 2014. Actual
cost may be higher due to inflation, changes, in technology or changes in regulations. The City is required by
State and Federal laws and regulations to provide assurances of financial responsibility for closure and post-
closure care. The City has elected to utilize the Local Government Financial test promulgated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (at 40 CFR 258.74(f)) and the Kansas Department of Health and
Environment to provide these assurances. Any future closure or post-closure care costs will be provided
through the normal budgeting and rate setting process, including the issuance of general obligation bonds, if
necessary.
H. Environmental Matters
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued a report in 1994 indicating the presence
of volatile organic compounds at levels requiring remediation at the Salina Public Water Supply Wells Site.
The City adopted a proactive Policy and Action Plan to remediate the groundwater contamination, and on
December 7, 1994, the City and KDHE entered into a Consent Order and Settlement Agreement under which
the City assumed primary responsibility for the further investigation and remediation of the groundwater
contamination. Field testing work has been completed. The necessary remediation work will be conducted
over the next several years at a yet undetermined cost to the City's W ater and Sewer Fund.
The U.S. Department of Defense transferred property located at the former Schilling Air Force Base (the Base
or Site) to the City on or about September 9, 1966.The property is now known to contain areas of extensive
soil and groundwater contamination, which is a result of the use and disposal of chlorinated solvents during
military operations at the Base from 1942 until Base closure in 1965.
The U.S. Department of Defense is responsible for the investigation and remediation of contamination caused
by military activities at current and former military bases.The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the
lead agency for the Department at formerly used defense sites.The Corps has investigated the soil and
groundwater contamination at the Site under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA)and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE).The Site is not designated as
a National Priority List Superfund site, but investigation and remediation are required to be in compliance with
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Potential liability for contamination under CERCLA extends broadly to parties associated with the release or
presence of hazardous substances, including not only those entities involved with contaminant use and
disposal, but in some cases other current and former owners and operators of contaminated sites.As a
current owner of extensive amounts of property at the Site, the City is potentially liable under CERCLA,
although the City believes that it has meritorious defenses to such liability.
The City is considered to be a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) for the Site, primarily due to its status as a
property owner.The Salina Airport Authority, City of Salina, Unified School District No. 305 and the Kansas
Board of Regents (Kansas State University at Salina) (collectively Salina Public Entities) currently own over
90% of the nearly 4,000 acres of the Base property.No third party has asserted any claim for bodily injury or
property damage.

H. Environmental Matters (Continued)
Beginning in August 2007, the Salina Public Entities initiated settlement negotiations with the U.S. Federal
Government.The negotiation objectives at that time included transferring the responsibility for completing the
cleanup from the U.S.to the Salina Public Entities.The local objective was to reach a settlement agreement
with the U.S.that provides the Salina Public Entities sufficient funds to complete cleanup operations over a
30-year period.
During calendar year 2008, the Salina Public Entities, by and through its environmental consultant,prepared a
detailed Cost to Complete Estimate (CTC). The CTC preparation included consultation with the EPA and
KDHE.The Salina Public Entities’ CTC was completed in June of 2008 and submitted to the Corps.
Subsequently, on January 23, 2009, the Salina Public Entities delivered a demand letter to the Corps.The
letter demanded that settlement negotiations begin immediately with the U.S. Department of Justice.On May
14, 2009 the City was notified that the Corp referred the Base demand letter to the U.S. Department of Justice
on May 12, 2009.
The Salina Public Entities delivered on or about May 10, 2010, a settlement offer and a draft of a lawsuit
complaint to the attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice.The Salina Public Entities planned to file suit
against the U.S.if the matter was not settled by the end of May, 2010.The Salina Public Entities did not intend
to cut off settlement negotiations by the filing of suit, and this has been communicated to the U.S.No
remedial action plan or record of decision has been adopted by the EPA or KDHE.
On or about May 27, 2010, the Salina Public Entities filed their Complaint against the United States of
America, the United States Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, in his official
capacity (collectively, "Defendants"). On or about September 22, 2010, the Salina Public Entities filed their
First Amended Complaint in four counts: Count I Citizen Suit Claim Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§ 9659(a)(2), Count
II Citizen Suit Claim Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§ 9659(a)(1), Count III Claim for Recovery of Response Costs
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§ 9607(a) and Count IV Claim for Declaratory Judgment Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§
9613(g)(2).
On or about October 6, 2010, Defendants filed their motion to dismiss and to strike, primarily with respect to
the citizen suit claims. On or about March 25, 2011, Judge Murguia entered his Memorandum and Order. The
Judge granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss Counts I and II (citizen suit claims) for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. He also granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss the Salina Public Entities' requests for attorney
fees, with the exception of non-litigation attorney fees. He denied the Defendants' motion to strike the Salina
Public Entities' allegations of a conflict of interest. The Salina Public Entities' claims under Counts III and IV for
response costs under CERCLA 9607(a) are not affected by the Judge's rulings. The Salina Public Entities
disagree with most of the Judge's filings and, if necessary, plan to take an interlocutory appeal to the Tenth
Circuit to contest the rulings.
On or about April 22, 2011, Defendants filed their Answer to First Amended Complaint and Counterclaim
against the Salina Public Entities. Count I of the Counterclaim alleges a claim for contribution under CERCLA,
42 U.S.C.§ 9613(f)(1). Count II of the Counterclaim alleges a claim for cost recovery under CERCLA, 42
U.S.C.§ 9607(a)(1). Count II alleges costs incurred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of
approximately $1,838,241 as of September 30, 2007, and alleges costs incurred by the Corps of
approximately $14,915,228 as of April 17, 2009. The Salina Public Entities intend to vigorously contest the
claims brought against them and will assert, among other defenses, the third party defense under 42 U.S.C.§
9607(b)(3).

The parties agreed on a mediation to discuss settlement. The mediation sessions occurred in October 2011,
and the mediation discussions continued for over a year. The parties have now agreed upon a partial
settlement. The partial settlement includes payment by the U.S. in exchange for performance by the Salina
Public Entities of a remedial investigation/feasibility study through entry of a Corrective Action Decision by
KDHE (the "W ork"). The present cost estimate of the Work is less than $10,000,000. The agreement is that
the U.S. will pay 90% of the cost of the Work with the Salina Public Entities responsible for payment of the
remaining 10%. It is anticipated that the agreed share of the Salina Public Entities will be paid by the City.
Also,the claims and counterclaims in the lawsuit have been dismissed without prejudice with provisions tolling
any and all statutes of limitation. No party is obligated under the settlement agreement to implement the
Corrective Action Decision upon its entry by KDHE, and the parties will either negotiate an agreement to
implement such Corrective Action Decision or refile their claims in court.The Salina Public Entities have
entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order ("CAFO") with KDHE, which is conditioned upon the U.S.'s
payment to the City. On May 2, 2013, the U.S.District Court for the District of Kansas entered its Consent
Decree. City of Salina, Kansas, et al. v. United States of America, et al., Case No. 1 0-CV -2298 CM/DJW .
The Court's Consent Decree approved the settlement among the parties. The current status is that the U.S.
wire transferred $8,426,700 to the account of the City, and the City added the share of the Salina Public
Entities in the amount of $936,300 to the account.
Although the claims and counterclaims in the lawsuit have been dismissed without prejudice, the City
intends to vigorously pursue its claims that the U.S. should implement the Corrective Action Decision upon
its entry by KDHE and its defenses against any claims brought against it. Based on presently known
information, the City has determined that while a possible liability exists, at this time no reasonable estimate of
the possible liability can be made. Therefore, no liability related to that matter has been recorded.
I. Postemployment Health Care Plan
Plan Description. The City operates a single employer defined benefit healthcare plan administered by the
City. The Employee Benefit Plan (the Plan) provides medical and dental benefits to eligible early retirees and
their spouses. KSA 12-5040 requires all local governmental entities in the state that provide a group health
care plan to make participation available to all retirees and dependents until the retiree reaches the age of 65
years. No separate financial report is issued for the Plan.
Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of plan participants and the City are established and amended
by the City. The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. Plan
participants contributed approximately $185,000 to the Plan (approximately 100% of total premiums) through
their required contribution of $507 per month for retiree-only coverage and $1,360 for family coverage.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost
(expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount
actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a
level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any
unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

Funding Status and Funding Progress. As of the year ended December 31, 2014, the most recent actuarial
valuation date, the Plan was not funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $5,538,770 and the
actuarial value of asset was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $5,538,770. The
covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $22,156,127, and the ratio of
the UAAL to the covered payroll was 25.00%.
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
employm ent, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the
plan and the annual required contributions of the employer 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 following the notes to the financial statement,
presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets (if any) are increasing or
decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

I.Postemployment Health Care Plan (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the
substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan participants) 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 participants to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are 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.
In the year ended December 31, 2014, actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was
used. The actuarial assumptions include a 3.00% investment rate of return, which is the rate of the
employer’s own investments as there are no plan assets and an initial annual medical and dental healthcare
cost trend of 6.60%, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate 4.50% after eighty years. The UAAL is being
amortized as a level dollar over an open thirty-year period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MAT TERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STAT EMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH “GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS”
Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Salina, Kansas
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, and the Kansas Municipal Audit and Accounting, the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Salina, Kansas,(the City) as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 22, 2015.Our report includes a
reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the Salina Airport Authority and the Housing
Authority of the City of Salina, as described in our report on the City of Salina’s financial statements. This report
does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and
other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over
financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for
the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal controls 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal
control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charge with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given
these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs as Finding 2014-1 that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
119
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the 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.
However, we noted certain other matters that we reported to management of the City in a separate letter dated
October 22, 2015.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any
other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Salina, Kansas
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the compliance of the City of Salina, Kansas, (the City) with the types of compliance requirements
described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of
the City’s major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2014. The City’s major federal financial
programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants
applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal programs based on our
audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States; OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and the Kansas
Municipal Audit and Accounting Guide. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance with those requirements and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program.
However, our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended
December 31, 2014.
121
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance,
we considered the City’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and
material effect on each major federal program in order to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to
test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis.
A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a
material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charge with
governance.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not
been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
