Exhibit A
Operating Data for the Salina Airport Authority for the year ended December 31, 2015
I.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.Reporting Entity
The Salina Airport Authority (Authority) was established by the City of Salina, pursuant to Chapter
27, Article 3, of the Kansas Statutes Annotated for the purpose of acquiring surplus federal
government property, specifically the former Schilling Air Force Base, located near the City of
Salina. The Authority operates, maintains, and develops the Salina Regional Airport and the Salina
Airport Industrial Center. The Authority is controlled by a five-member Board of Directors
appointed by the Salina City Commission and, in accordance with Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 61, the Authority is considered to be a component unit of
the City of Salina. The Authority is discreetly presented in the City’s comprehensive annual
financial reports.
B.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The Authority’sfinancial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) for state and local governments. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles for state and local governments in the United States of
America.
The Authority consists of a single enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are classified as proprietary
funds by the GASB and are accounted for using a total economic resource measurement focus. The
enterprise fund is used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar
to private business enterprises. The intent of the Authority is that the costs of providing services on
a continuing basis be recovered through user fees and rents. The financial statements are prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized as earned and
expenses as incurred.
Revenues from airlines, fuel flowage fees, building and land rents, and rental car commissions are
reported as operating revenues. Transactions, which are capital, financing or investing related, and
the sale of assets, related to economic development, are reported as non-operating revenues. All
expenses related to operating the Airport and Industrial Center are reported as operating expenses.
Interest expense and financing costs are reported as non-operating expenses.

Property Tax Collections
Tax statements are mailed November 1 each year and may be paid in full or one-half on or
before December 20 with the remaining one-half due on or before May 10 of the following
year. Taxes that are unpaid on the due dates are penalized at a statutorily prescribed rate
until paid oruntil the property is sold for taxes. Real estate bearing unpaid taxes is
advertised for sale in July of each year and is sold by the County for taxes and all legal
charges on the first Tuesday in September. Properties that are sold and not redeemed within
two years after the tax sale are subject to foreclosure sale, except homestead properties
which are subject to foreclosure sale after three years.
Personal property taxes are assessed, due and may be paid in the same manner as real estate
taxes. Motor vehicle property taxes are based on valuations provided by the Kansas
Department of Revenue and the county average tax rate for the county in which the vehicle
is registered. Motor vehicle taxes are payable to the county by the State in a manner such as
to equal registration over a twelve-month period. Motor vehicle taxes are distributed by the
county to the state, city and other taxing jurisdictions based on their proportionate tax
levies. Delinquent personal and motor vehicle taxes are penalized at the same rate as
delinquent real property taxes. The following is a summary of tax collections for the
Authority in the years shown.
