Security
The Notes shall be general obligations of the City, payable as to both principal and interest from in part
from special assessments levied upon the property benefitted by the construction of certain public improvements
(as hereinafter described in the section entitled “THE FINANCING PLAN – The Note Projects”), or from the proceeds
of general obligation bonds of the Issuer, and if not so paid, from ad valorem taxes which may be levied without
limitation as to rate or amount upon all the taxable tangible property, real and personal, within the territorial limits
of the City. The full faith, credit and resources of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged for the prompt payment
of the principal of and interest on the Notes as the same become due.

The Notes shall consist of fully registered book-entry-only notes in an Authorized Denomination and shall be
numbered in such manner as the Note Registrar shall determine. All of the Notes shall be dated July 27, 2017 (the
“Dated Date”), shall become due in the amount on the Stated Maturity. The Notes shall bear interest at the rate per
annum set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement, and shall bear interest (computed on the basis of
twelve 30-day months) from the Dated Date, payable at the Stated Maturity.
Redemption Provisions
The Notes are not subject to redemption and payment prior to maturity.
Designation of Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar
The City will at all times maintain a paying agent and note registrar meeting the qualifications set forth in the
Note Resolution. The City reserves the right to appoint a successor paying agent or note registrar. No resignation or
removal of the paying agent or note registrar shall become effective until a successor has been appointed and has
accepted the duties of paying agent or note registrar. Every paying agent or note registrar appointed by the City shall
at all times meet the requirements of Kansas law.
The Treasurer of the State of Kansas, Topeka, Kansas (the “Note Registrar” and “Note Paying Agent”) has been
designated by the City as paying agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and note registrar with
respect to the registration, transfer and exchange of Notes.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes
As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, each Note when issued shall be registered in the name of the
Owner thereof on the Note Register. Notes may be transferred and exchanged only on the Note Register as hereinafter
provided. Upon surrender of any Note at the principal office of the Note Registrar, the Note Registrar shall transfer or
exchange such Note for a new Note or Notes in any authorized denomination of the same Stated Maturity and in the
same aggregate principal amount as the Note that was presented for transfer or exchange. Notes presented for
3
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for
exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Owner
thereof or by the Owner’s duly authorized agent.
In all cases in which the privilege of transferring or exchanging Notes is exercised, the Note Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Note Resolution. The City shall pay the fees
and expenses of the Note Registrar for the registration, transfer and exchange of Notes. Any additional costs or fees
that might be incurred in the secondary market, other than fees of the Note Registrar, are the responsibility of the
Owners of the Notes. In the event any Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Note
Paying Agent, the Note Paying Agent may make a charge against such Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge
required to be paid as a result of such failure.
The City and the Note Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Note during
a period beginning at the opening of business on the day after receiving written notice from the City of its intent to
pay Defaulted Interest and ending at the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of Defaulted Interest.
Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Notes
If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the City and the Note Registrar
such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them, then, in the absence of notice to the City or the Note
Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the City shall execute and, upon the City’s request,
the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note, a new Note of the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount. If any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the City, in its discretion, may pay
such Note instead of issuing a new Note. Upon the issuance of any new Note, the City may require the payment by the
Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Note Paying Agent) connected therewith.
Nonpresentment of Notes
If any Note is not presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due at Maturity, if funds
sufficient to pay such Note have been made available to the Note Paying Agent all liability of the City to the Owner
thereof for the payment of such Note shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon
it shall be the duty of the Note Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit
of the Owner of such Note, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever
nature on his part under this Note Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Note. If any Note is not presented for
payment within four (4) years following the date when such Note becomes due at Maturity, the Note Paying Agent
shall repay to the City the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Note, and such Note shall, subject to the
defense of any applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the City, and the Owner
thereof shall be entitled to look only to the City for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to
it by the Note Paying Agent, and the City shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a
trustee of such money.
Method and Place of Payment of the Notes
The principal of, or Redemption Price, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in any coin or currency
which, on the respective dates of payment thereof, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The
principal or Redemption Price of each Note and the interest thereon shall be paid at Maturity to the Person in whose
name such Note is registered on the Note Register at the Maturity thereof, upon presentation and surrender of such
Note at the principal office of the Note Paying Agent.
4
The interest payable on each Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Owner of such Note as
shown on the Note Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest (a) by check or draft mailed
by the Note Paying Agent to the address of such Owner shown on the Note Register or at such other address as is
furnished to the Note Paying Agent in writing by such Owner; or (b) in the case of an interest payment to Cede & Co.
or any Owner of $500,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes, by electronic transfer to such Owner upon
written notice given to the Note Registrar by such Owner, not less than 15 days prior to the Record Date for such
interest, containing the electronic transfer instructions including the bank, ABA routing number and account number
to which such Owner wishes to have such transfer directed.
“Record Date” means, for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the fifteenth day (whether or
not a Business Day) of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defaulted Interest with respect to any Note shall cease to be payable to
the Owner of such Note on the relevant Record Date and shall be payable to the Owner in whose name such Note is
registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special
Record Date shall be fixed as hereinafter specified. The City shall notify the Note Paying Agent in writing of the amount
of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be at
least 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Note Paying Agent) and shall deposit with the Note Paying Agent an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest. Following
receipt of such funds the Note Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Note Paying
Agent shall notify the City of such Special Record Date and shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Owner of a Note
entitled to such notice not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. REMAINS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE NOTES, THE NOTE PAYING AGENT
SHALL TRANSMIT PAYMENTS TO THE SECURITIES DEPOSITORY, WHICH SHALL REMIT SUCH PAYMENTS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS NORMAL PROCEDURES. See “THE NOTES – Book-Entry Notes; Securities Depository.”
Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays
In any case where a Note Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, Redemption Price
or interest need not be made on such Note Payment Date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on such Note Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such
Note Payment Date.
Book-Entry Notes; Securities Depository
The Notes shall initially be registered to Cede & Co., the nominee for the Securities Depository, and no
Beneficial Owner will receive certificates representing their respective interests in the Notes, except in the event the
Note Registrar issues Replacement Notes. It is anticipated that during the term of the Notes, the Securities
Depository will make book-entry transfers among its Participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes to the Participants until and unless the Note Registrar authenticates and
delivers Replacement Notes to the Beneficial Owners as described in the following paragraphs.
The City may decide, subject to the requirements of the Operational Arrangements of DTC (or a successor
Securities Depository), and the following provisions of this section to discontinue use of the system of book-entry
transfers through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository):
(a) If the City determines (1) that the Securities Depository is unable to properly discharge its
responsibilities, or (2) that the Securities Depository is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository
and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) that the
continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of any Notes being issued to any Owner other than
Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Notes; or
5
(b) if the Note Registrar receives written notice from Participants having interest in not less
than 50% of the Notes Outstanding, as shown on the records of the Securities Depository (and certified to
such effect by the Securities Depository), that the continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of
any Notes being issued to any Owner other than Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the
Beneficial Owners of the Notes, then the Note Registrar shall notify the Owners of such determination or
such notice and of the availability of certificates to owners requesting the same, and the Note Registrar
shall register in the name of and authenticate and deliver Replacement Notes to the Beneficial Owners or
their nominees in principal amounts representing the interest of each, making such adjustments as it may
find necessary or appropriate as to accrued interest and previous calls for redemption; provided, that in the
case of a determination under (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this paragraph, the City, with the consent of the Note
Registrar, may select a successor securities depository in accordance with the following paragraph to effect
book-entry transfers.
In such event, all references to the Securities Depository herein shall relate to the period of time when the
Securities Depository has possession of at least one Note. Upon the issuance of Replacement Notes, all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Securities Depository shall be deemed to be imposed
upon and performed by the Note Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Replacement Notes. If the
Securities Depository resigns and the City, the Note Registrar or Owners are unable to locate a qualified successor
of the Securities Depository, then the Note Registrar shall authenticate and cause delivery of Replacement Notes to
Owners, as provided herein. The Note Registrar may rely on information from the Securities Depository and its
Participants as to the names of the Beneficial Owners of the Notes. The cost of printing, registration, authentication,
and delivery of Replacement Notes shall be paid for by the City.
In the event the Securities Depository resigns, is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or is no
longer qualified to act as a securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the City may appoint a successor Securities Depository provided the Note Registrar
receives written evidence satisfactory to the Note Registrar with respect to the ability of the successor Securities
Depository to discharge its responsibilities. Any such successor Securities Depository shall be a securities depository
which is a registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable
statute or regulation that operates a securities depository upon reasonable and customary terms. The Note
Registrar upon its receipt of a Note or Notes for cancellation shall cause the delivery of the Notes to the successor
Securities Depository in appropriate denominations and form as provided in the Note Resolution.

this Official Statement. The Bonds shall bear interest (computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months) from the
later of the Dated Date or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid on the Interest
Payment Dates in the manner hereinafter set forth.
Redemption Provisions
Optional Redemption. At the option of the City, Bonds or portions thereof maturing on October 1, 2025 and
thereafter may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity on October 1, 2024, and thereafter
as a whole or in part (selection of maturities and the amount of Bonds of each maturity to be redeemed to be
determined by the City in such equitable manner as it may determine) at any time, at the Redemption Price of 100%
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
Mandatory Redemption. The Term Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption and payment prior to
Stated Maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements hereinafter set forth at a Redemption Price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The payments which
are to be deposited into the Debt Service Account shall be sufficient to redeem, and the Issuer shall redeem on
October 1 in each year, the following principal amounts of such Term Bonds:
Principal
Amount
Year
$520,000 2029
530,000 2030*
_______________
*Final Maturity
Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. Bonds shall be redeemed only in an Authorized Denomination. When
less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed and paid prior to their Stated Maturity, such Bonds shall be redeemed in
such manner as the City shall determine, Bonds of less than a full Stated Maturity shall be selected by the Bond Registrar
in minimum Authorized Denomination in such equitable manner as the Bond Registrar may determine. In the case of
a partial redemption of Bonds by lot when Bonds of denominations greater than a minimum Authorized Denomination
are then Outstanding, then for all purposes in connection with such redemption each minimum Authorized
Denomination of face value shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of a minimum Authorized Denomination.
If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the minimum Authorized Denomination value represented by any
Bond is selected for redemption, then upon notice of intention to redeem such minimum Authorized Denomination,
the Owner or the Owner’s duly authorized agent shall forthwith present and surrender such Bond to the Bond Registrar:
7
(1) for payment of the Redemption Price and interest to the Redemption Date of such minimum Authorized
Denomination value called for redemption, and (2) for exchange, without charge to the Owner thereof, for a new Bond
or Bonds of the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Bond. If the
Owner of any such Bond fails to present such Bond to the Bond Paying Agent for payment and exchange as aforesaid,
such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the redemption date to the extent of the minimum
Authorized Denomination value called for redemption (and to that extent only).
Notice and Effect of Call for Redemption. Unless waived by any Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, if the City
shall call any Bonds for redemption and payment prior to the Stated Maturity thereof, the City shall give written
notice of its intention to call and pay said Bonds to the Bond Registrar. In addition, the City shall cause the Bond
Registrar to give written notice of redemption to the Owners of said Bonds. Each of said written notices shall be
deposited in the United States first class mail not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall contain the following information: (a) the
Redemption Date; (b) the Redemption Price; (c) if less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification
(and, in the case of partial redemption of any Bonds, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(d) a statement that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Bond
or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption
Date; and (e) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be
the principal office of the Bond Paying Agent. The failure of any Owner to receive notice given as heretofore provided
or an immaterial defect therein shall not invalidate any redemption.
Prior to any Redemption Date, the City shall deposit with the Bond Paying Agent an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds that are to be redeemed on such
Redemption Date. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be
redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date, at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after the Redemption Date (unless the City defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Bonds or portion
of Bonds shall cease to bear interest.
For so long as the Securities Depository is effecting book-entry transfers of the Bonds, the Bond Registrar shall
provide the notices specified to the Securities Depository. It is expected that the Securities Depository shall, in turn,
notify its Participants and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified the Beneficial Owners. Any
failure on the part of the Securities Depository or a Participant, or failure on the part of a nominee of a Beneficial Owner
of a Bond (having been mailed notice from the Bond Registrar, the Securities Depository, a Participant or otherwise) to
notify the Beneficial Owner of the Bond so affected, shall not affect the validity of the redemption of such Bond.
In addition to the foregoing notice, the City shall provide such notices of redemption as are required by the
Disclosure Undertaking. The Bond Paying Agent is also directed to comply with any mandatory or voluntary standards
then in effect for processing redemptions of municipal securities established by the State or the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Failure to comply with such standards shall not affect or invalidate the redemption of any Bond.
Designation of Bond Paying Agent and Bond Registrar
The City will at all times maintain a paying agent and bond registrar meeting the qualifications set forth in the
Bond Resolution. The City reserves the right to appoint a successor paying agent or bond registrar. No resignation or
removal of the paying agent or bond registrar shall become effective until a successor has been appointed and has
accepted the duties of paying agent or bond registrar. Every paying agent or bond registrar appointed by the City shall
at all times meet the requirements of Kansas law.
The Treasurer of the State of Kansas, Topeka, Kansas (the “Bond Registrar” and “Bond Paying Agent”) has
been designated by the City as paying agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and bond registrar
with respect to the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds.
8
Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds
As long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding, each Bond when issued shall be registered in the name of
the Owner thereof on the Bond Register. Bonds may be transferred and exchanged only on the Bond Register as
hereinafter provided. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the Bond Registrar shall
transfer or exchange such Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same Stated Maturity
and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond that was presented for transfer or exchange. Bonds presented
for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for
exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the Owner
thereof or by the Owner’s duly authorized agent.
In all cases in which the privilege of transferring or exchanging Bonds is exercised, the Bond Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Bond Resolution. The City shall pay the fees
and expenses of the Bond Registrar for the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds. Any additional costs or fees
that might be incurred in the secondary market, other than fees of the Bond Registrar, are the responsibility of the
Owners of the Bonds. In the event any Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Bond
Paying Agent, the Bond Paying Agent may make a charge against such Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge
required to be paid as a result of such failure.
The City and the Bond Registrar shall not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of any Bond that
has been called for redemption after notice of such redemption has been mailed by the Bond Paying Agent and during
the period of 15 days next preceding the date of mailing of such notice of redemption; or (b) to register the transfer or
exchange of any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on the day after receiving written notice
from the City of its intent to pay Defaulted Interest and ending at the close of business on the date fixed for the payment
of Defaulted Interest.
Method and Place of Payment of the Bonds
The principal of, or Redemption Price, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency which,
on the respective dates of payment thereof, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The principal
or Redemption Price of each Bond shall be paid at Maturity to the Person in whose name such Bond is registered on
the Bond Register at the Maturity thereof, upon presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal office of the
Bond Paying Agent.
The interest payable on each Bond on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Owner of such Bond as
shown on the Bond Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest (a) by check or draft mailed
by the Bond Paying Agent to the address of such Owner shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is
furnished to the Bond Paying Agent in writing by such Owner; or (b) in the case of an interest payment to Cede & Co.
or any Owner of $500,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, by electronic transfer to such Owner upon
written notice given to the Bond Registrar by such Owner, not less than 15 days prior to the Record Date for such
interest, containing the electronic transfer instructions including the bank, ABA routing number and account number
to which such Owner wishes to have such transfer directed.
“Record Date” means, for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the fifteenth day (whether or
not a Business Day) of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defaulted Interest with respect to any Bond shall cease to be payable to
the Owner of such Bond on the relevant Record Date and shall be payable to the Owner in whose name such Bond is
registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special
Record Date shall be fixed as hereinafter specified. The City shall notify the Bond Paying Agent in writing of the amount
of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be at
least 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Bond Paying Agent) and shall deposit with the Bond Paying Agent an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest. Following
receipt of such funds the Bond Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Bond Paying
9
Agent shall notify the City of such Special Record Date and shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Owner of a Bond
entitled to such notice not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
SO LONG AS CEDE & CO., REMAINS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE BONDS, THE BOND PAYING AGENT
SHALL TRANSMIT PAYMENTS TO THE SECURITIES DEPOSITORY, WHICH SHALL REMIT SUCH PAYMENTS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS NORMAL PROCEDURES. See “THE BONDS – Book-Entry Bonds; Securities Depository.”
Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays
In any case where a Bond Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, Redemption Price or
interest need not be made on such Bond Payment Date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on such Bond Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such
Bond Payment Date.
Book-Entry Bonds; Securities Depository
The Bonds shall initially be registered to Cede & Co., the nominee for the Securities Depository, and no
Beneficial Owner will receive certificates representing their respective interests in the Bonds, except in the event
the Bond Registrar issues Replacement Bonds. It is anticipated that during the term of the Bonds, the Securities
Depository will make book-entry transfers among its Participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds to the Participants until and unless the Bond Registrar authenticates and
delivers Replacement Bonds to the Beneficial Owners as described in the following paragraphs.
The City may decide, subject to the requirements of the Operational Arrangements of DTC (or a successor
Securities Depository), and the following provisions of this section to discontinue use of the system of book-entry
transfers through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository):
(a) If the City determines (1) that the Securities Depository is unable to properly discharge its
responsibilities, or (2) that the Securities Depository is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository
and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) that the
continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of any Bonds being issued to any Owner other than
Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; or
(b) if the Bond Registrar receives written notice from Participants having interest in not less
than 50% of the Bonds Outstanding, as shown on the records of the Securities Depository (and certified to
such effect by the Securities Depository), that the continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of
any Bonds being issued to any Owner other than Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, then the Bond Registrar shall notify the Owners of such determination or
such notice and of the availability of certificates to owners requesting the same, and the Bond Registrar
shall register in the name of and authenticate and deliver Replacement Bonds to the Beneficial Owners or
their nominees in principal amounts representing the interest of each, making such adjustments as it may
find necessary or appropriate as to accrued interest and previous calls for redemption; provided, that in the
case of a determination under (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this paragraph, the City, with the consent of the Bond
Registrar, may select a successor securities depository in accordance with the following paragraph to effect
book-entry transfers.
In such event, all references to the Securities Depository herein shall relate to the period of time when the
Securities Depository has possession of at least one Bond. Upon the issuance of Replacement Bonds, all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Securities Depository shall be deemed to be imposed
upon and performed by the Bond Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Replacement Bonds. If the
Securities Depository resigns and the City, the Bond Registrar or Owners are unable to locate a qualified successor
of the Securities Depository, then the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and cause delivery of Replacement Bonds to
10
Owners, as provided herein. The Bond Registrar may rely on information from the Securities Depository and its
Participants as to the names of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The cost of printing, registration, authentication,
and delivery of Replacement Bonds shall be paid for by the City.
In the event the Securities Depository resigns, is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or is no
longer qualified to act as a securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the City may appoint a successor Securities Depository provided the Bond Registrar
receives written evidence satisfactory to the Bond Registrar with respect to the ability of the successor Securities
Depository to discharge its responsibilities. Any such successor Securities Depository shall be a securities depository
which is a registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable
statute or regulation that operates a securities depository upon reasonable and customary terms. The Bond
Registrar upon its receipt of a Bond or Bonds for cancellation shall cause the delivery of the Bonds to the successor
Securities Depository in appropriate denominations and form as provided in the Bond Resolution.
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY
1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for
the Securities. The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s
partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-
registered bond certificate will be issued for each scheduled maturity of the Securities, and will be deposited with
DTC.
2. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the
Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,
and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.6 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and
municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC’s participants (“Direct
Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales
and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and
pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. Direct Participants include U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust &
Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its
regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard &
Poor’s rating of “AA+”. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of
each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however,
expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their
holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and
Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates
representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Securities is discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede &
Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the
11
actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose
accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect
Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect
from time to time.
6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being
redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue
to be redeemed.
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the
Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual
procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy
assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are
credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede
& Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to
credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer
or Paying Agent, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records.
Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,
as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and
will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent, or the Issuer, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds,
distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct
Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be
the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through
its Participant, to the Paying Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to
transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to the Paying Agent. The requirement for
physical delivery of the Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed
satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and
followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to the Paying Agent’s DTC account.
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time
by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor
securities depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
11. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC
(or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained
from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

RISK FACTORS AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER OF THE THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECURITIES WHICH MUST BE RECOGNIZED. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS
REGARDING CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OFFERING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPLETE
DESCRIPTION OF ALL RISKS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE DECISION TO PURCHASE THE SECURITIES. PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASERS OF THE SECURITIES SHOULD ANALYZE CAREFULLY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS OFFICIAL
STATEMENT AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE FORM OF THE COMPLETE DOCUMENTS SUMMARIZED
HEREIN, COPIES OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AND MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CITY OR THE UNDERWRITER.
Legal Matters
Various state and federal laws, regulations and constitutional provisions apply to the obligations created by
the Securities. There is no assurance that there will not be any change in, interpretation of, or addition to such
applicable laws, provisions and regulations which would have a material effect, either directly or indirectly, on the
City or the taxing authority of the City.
Limitations on Remedies Available to Owners of Securities
The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the owners of Securities, and the obligations incurred by
the City in issuing the Securities, are subject to the following: the federal Bankruptcy Code and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equity principles which may limit the specific
enforcement under state law of certain remedies; the exercise by the United States of America of the powers
delegated to it by the United States Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain unusual
situations, of the police power inherent in the State of Kansas and its governmental subdivisions in the interest of
serving a legitimate and significant public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of powers by the federal
or state government, if initiated, could subject the owners of the Securities to judicial discretion and interpretation
of their rights in bankruptcy and otherwise, and consequently may involve risks of delay, limitation or modification
of their rights.
Kansas Public Employees Retirement System
As described in “APPENDIX A – FINANCIAL INFORMATION – Pension and Employee Retirement Plans,” the
Issuer participates in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (“KPERS”), as an instrumentality of the State
to provide retirement and related benefits to public employees in Kansas. KPERS administers three statewide
defined benefit retirement plans for public employees which are separate and distinct with different membership
groups, actuarial assumptions, experience, contribution rates and benefit options. The Issuer participates in the
Public Employees Retirement System – Local Group and the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (“KP&F”) (the
“Plan”). Under existing law, employees make contributions and the Issuer makes all employer contributions to the
Plan; neither the employees nor the Issuer are directly responsible for any unfunded accrued actuarial liability
(“UAAL”); however, Plan contribution rates may be adjusted by legislative action over time to address any UAAL.
According to KPERS’ Valuation Report, dated as of December 31, 2015, the Local Group had an UAAL of $1.486 billion
and KP&F had an UAAL of $772 million.
Premium on Bonds
The initial offering prices of certain maturities of the Bonds that are subject to optional redemption may be
in excess of the respective principal amounts thereof. Any person who purchases such a Bond, whether during the
initial offering or in a secondary market transaction, should consider that the Bonds are subject to redemption at
par under the various circumstances described under “THE BONDS – Redemption Provisions.”
14
No Additional Interest or Mandatory Redemption upon Event of Taxability
Neither the Bond Resolution nor the Note Resolution provide for the payment of additional interest or
penalty on the Securities or the mandatory redemption thereof if the interest thereon becomes includable in gross
income for federal income tax purposes. Likewise, neither the Bond Resolution nor the Note Resolution provide for
the payment of any additional interest or penalty on the Securities if the interest thereon becomes subject to income
taxation by the State of Kansas.
Suitability of Investment
The tax exempt feature of the Securities is more valuable to high tax bracket investors than to investors
who are in low tax brackets, and so the value of the interest compensation to any particular investor will vary with
individual tax rates. Each prospective investor should carefully examine this Official Statement, including the
Appendices hereto, and its own financial condition to make a judgment as to its ability to bear the economic risk of
such an investment, and whether or not the Securities are an appropriate investment.
Market for the Securities
Ratings. The Securities have been assigned the financial ratings set forth in the section hereof titled
RATINGS. There is no assurance that a particular rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that it
will not be revised, either downward or upward, or withdrawn entirely, if in the judgment of the agency originally
establishing such rating, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal of any rating may have
an adverse affect on the market price of the Securities.
Secondary Market. There is no assurance that a secondary market will develop for the purchase and sale
of the Securities. Prices of securities traded in the secondary market, though, are subject to adjustment upward and
downward in response to changes in the credit markets. From time to time it may be necessary to suspend
indefinitely secondary market trading in the Securities as a result of financial condition or market position of broker-
dealers, prevailing market conditions, lack of adequate current financial information about the City, or a material
adverse change in the financial condition of the City, whether or not the Securities are in default as to principal and
interest payments, and other factors which may give rise to uncertainty concerning prudent secondary market
practices.
Recent Legislative Proposals
Congress and the President periodically work on various proposals to increase income taxes and to reduce
tax deductions and expenditures. These discussions have made it clear that the tax exemption of municipal bonds
is considered a tax expenditure and as such there is no guaranty that the tax exempt status on municipal bonds will
remain unchanged as a result of these discussions. If a legislative change is enacted which results in all, or a portion,
of the interest on the Securities being subjected to Federal income taxes, such legislation or proposals could affect
the value or marketability of the Securities. Prospective purchasers of the Securities should consult their own tax
advisers regarding the impact of any change in law on the Securities.
LEGAL MATTERS
All matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Securities by the City are subject to the approval
of Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Kansas City, Missouri, Bond Counsel to the City. The factual and financial information
appearing herein has been supplied or reviewed by certain officials of the City and its certified public accountants,
as referred to herein. Bond Counsel has participated in the preparation of the matters appearing in the sections of
this Official Statement captioned INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT, THE NOTES, THE BONDS, LEGAL MATTERS, TAX
MATTERS, and APPENDIX B – OMNIBUS CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING.
15
TAX MATTERS
General
The following is a summary of the material federal and State of Kansas income tax consequences of holding
and disposing of the Securities. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions now in
effect, all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis). This summary does not discuss all aspects of
federal income taxation that may be relevant to investors in light of their personal investment circumstances or
describe the tax consequences to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax
laws (for example, dealers in securities or other persons who do not hold the Securities as a capital asset, tax-exempt
organizations, individual retirement accounts and other tax deferred accounts, and foreign taxpayers), and, except for
the income tax laws of the State of Kansas, does not discuss the consequences to an owner under state, local or foreign
tax laws. The summary does not deal with the tax treatment of persons who purchase the Securities in the secondary
market. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding federal, state, local and other tax
considerations of holding and disposing of the Securities.
Opinion of Bond Counsel
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the law existing as of the issue date of the Securities:
Federal Tax Exemption: The interest on the Securities (including any original issue discount properly allocable
to an owner thereof) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Alternative Minimum Tax. Interest on the Securities is not an item of tax preference for purposes of
computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, but is taken into account
in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on
certain corporations.
Bank Qualification. The Securities have not been designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for
purposes of Code §265(b).
Kansas Tax Exemption. The interest on the Securities is exempt from income taxation by the State of
Kansas.
No Other Opinions. Bond Counsel’s opinions are provided as of the date of the original issue of the
Securities, subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issuance of the Securities in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from
gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with all of these requirements.
Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Securities in gross
income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Securities. Bond Counsel is
expressing no opinion regarding other federal, state or local tax consequences arising with respect to the Securities.
Other Tax Consequences
Original Issue Discount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue discount (“OID”) is the excess of
the stated redemption price at maturity of a security over its issue price. The issue price of a security is the first
price at which a substantial amount of the security of that maturity has been sold to the public.
The Notes. For each security, the stated redemption price at maturity includes all payments on the security,
except interest payable at least annually over the term of the security (“qualified stated interest”). Since the August
1, 2018, interest payment on the Notes will be paid more than one year after the Notes are issued, none of the
interest payments on the Notes constitute qualified stated interest, and the stated redemption price of each Note
includes all payments on the Notes.
16
Under Code § 1288, OID on tax-exempt obligations accrues on a compound basis. The amount of OID that
accrues to an owner of a Note during any accrual period generally equals: (a) the issue price of such Note plus the
amount of OID accrued in all prior accrual periods; multiplied by (b) the yield to maturity on such Note (determined
on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual
period); minus (c) any interest payable on such Note during such accrual period. The amount of OID so accrued in a
particular accrual period will be considered to be received ratably on each day of the accrual period, will be
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and will increase the owner’s tax basis in such Note.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of OID.
The Bonds. Under Code § 1288, OID on tax-exempt bonds accrues on a compound basis. The amount of
OID that accrues to an owner of a Bond during any accrual period generally equals: (a) the issue price of that Bond,
plus the amount of OID accrued in all prior accrual periods; multiplied by (b) the yield to maturity on that Bond
(determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of
the accrual period); minus (c) any interest payable on that Bond during that accrual period. The amount of OID
accrued in a particular accrual period will be considered to be received ratably on each day of the accrual period, will
be excludable from gross income for Federal income tax purposes, and will increase the owner’s tax basis in that
Bond. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of OID.
Original Issue Premium. For federal income tax purposes, premium is the excess of the issue price of a
Security over its stated redemption price at maturity. The issue price of a Security is generally the first price at which
a substantial amount of the Securities of that maturity have been sold to the public. Under Code §171, premium on
tax-exempt obligations amortizes over the term of the Security using constant yield principles, based on the
purchaser’s yield to maturity. As premium is amortized, the owner’s basis in the Security and the amount of tax-
exempt interest received will be reduced by the amount of amortizable premium properly allocable to the owner,
which will result in an increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes
on sale or disposition of the Security prior to its maturity. Even though the owner’s basis is reduced, no federal
income tax deduction is allowed. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the
calculation and accrual of bond premium.
Sale, Exchange or Retirement of Securities. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement (including redemption)
of a Security, an owner of the Security generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale, exchange or retirement
of the Security (other than in respect of accrued and unpaid interest) and such owner’s adjusted tax basis in the
Security. To the extent the Securities are held as a capital asset, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will
be long-term capital gain or loss if the Security has been held for more than 12 months at the time of sale, exchange
or retirement.
Reporting Requirements. In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of
principal, interest and premium paid on Securities, and to the proceeds paid on the sale of Securities, other than
certain exempt recipients (such as corporations and foreign entities). A backup withholding tax will apply to such
payments if the owner fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of foreign or other exempt
status or fails to report in full dividend and interest income. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment
to an owner will be allowed as a credit against the owner’s federal income tax liability.
Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Securities should be aware
that ownership of the Securities may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers,
including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients
of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain S corporations with “excess net passive income,” foreign
corporations subject to the branch profits tax, life insurance companies, and taxpayers who may be deemed to have
incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry or have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to the
Securities. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding these tax consequences. Purchasers of Securities should
consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these tax consequences and other federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities, including the possible application of
state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
17
RATINGS
The City has applied to Moody’s Investors Service for a rating on the Notes and Bonds. Any explanation of
the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from said rating agency. There is no assurance that the ratings
will remain for any given period of time or that they may not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the rating service
if, in their judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward change in or withdrawal of the ratings may
have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes and Bonds.
Moody’s has assigned ratings of “MIG 1” to the Notes and “Aa3” to the Bonds.
MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
George K. Baum & Company, Kansas City, Missouri, has acted as Municipal Advisor to the City in connection
with the sale of the Securities. The Municipal Advisor has assisted the City in the preparation of this Official Statement
and in other matters relating to the issuance of the Securities. The fees of the Municipal Advisor are contingent upon
the issuance of the Securities.
UNDERWRITING
The Notes are being purchased by Commerce Bank (the “Notes Underwriter”) at a price equal to the
principal amount of the Notes, plus an original issue premium of $20,753.60, less an underwriting discount of
$4,011.20.
The Bonds are being purchased by Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (the “Bonds Underwriter”) at a price
equal to the par amount of the Bonds, plus an original issue premium of $178,173.00, less an underwriting discount
of $99,803.20.
The Notes Underwriter and the Bonds Underwriter are collectively referred to herein as (the
“Underwriters”).
ABSENCE OF MATERIAL LITIGATION
The Transcript of Proceedings will contain a certificate of non-litigation dated as of the closing date and
executed by the City to the effect that, except as disclosed in the Official Statement, there is no controversy, suit, or
proceeding of any kind pending or, to the knowledge of the City, threatened wherein or whereby any question is
raised, or may be raised, questioning, disputing, or affecting in any way the legal organization of the City or its
boundaries or the legality of any official act shown to have been done regarding the issuance of the Notes and Bonds
or the constitutionality or validity of the obligation represented by the Bonds or the means provided for the payment
of the Notes and Bonds.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has promulgated amendments to Rule 15c2-12 (the
“Rule”), requiring continuous secondary market disclosure. In 2013, the Issuer adopted an Omnibus Continuing
Disclosure Undertaking (the “Disclosure Undertaking”) wherein the Issuer covenanted to provide annually certain
Financial Information and Operating Data and other information necessary to comply with the Rule, and to transmit
the same to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The Disclosure Undertaking modified previous undertakings
the Issuer entered into pursuant to the Rule (the “Prior Undertakings”), in order to promote future compliance with
its undertakings under the Rule.
In Bond Resolution and Note Resolution, the Issuer covenants with the Underwriter and the Beneficial
Owners to apply the provisions of the Disclosure Undertaking to the Securities. This covenant is for the benefit of
and is enforceable by the Beneficial Owners of the Securities. For more information regarding the Disclosure
18
Undertaking, see “APPENDIX B – OMNIBUS CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING.”
The Issuer believes it has complied during the past five years with its prior undertakings under the Rule,
except as follows:
1. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013, the Issuer failed to timely file
certain operating data. The required operating data for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was
subsequently included in the Issuer’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report filed on December 31,
2013. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, this operating data was filed in a supplemental
operating data filing dated July 8, 2014. A notice of failure to file such operating data was filed on July
15, 2015.
2. Due to administrative oversight in implementation of the new Disclosure Undertaking, for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2013, the Issuer failed to timely file certain operating data, including a
“Financial Overview.” This operating data was filed in a supplemental operating data filing on July 8,
2014. A notice of failure to file such operating data was filed on July 15, 2015.
During the past five years, the Issuer has made filings of event notices on EMMA with respect to certain
bond calls, defeasances, and rating changes, however, during said time period, the Issuer did not make timely filings
of event notices on EMMA relating to all bond calls, defeasances or rating changes. The Issuer believes this
information was disseminated or available through other sources.

Pension and Employee Retirement Plans
The Issuer participates in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (“KPERS”) established in 1962,
as an instrumentality of the State, pursuant to K.S.A. 74-4901 et seq., to provide retirement and related benefits to
public employees in Kansas. KPERS is governed by a board of trustees consisting of nine members, including four
members appointed by the Governor subject to confirmation by the State Senate, one appointed by the President
of the Senate, one appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, two elected by members and retirants
of the retirement system, which must be members of such system, and the State Treasurer. Members of the board
of trustees serve four-year terms and elect a chairperson annually. The board of trustees appoints an Executive
Director to serve as the managing officer of KPERS and employs a staff of approximately 128 people.
As of June 30, 2016 KPERS serves over 299,000 members and approximately 1,500 participating employers,
including the State, school districts, counties, cities, public libraries, hospitals and other governmental units. KPERS
administers the following three statewide, defined benefit retirement plans for public employees:
(a) Kansas Public Employees Retirement System;
(b) Kansas Police and Firemen’s Retirement System; and
(c) Kansas Retirement System for Judges.
These three plans are separate and distinct with different membership groups, actuarial assumptions,
experience, contribution rates and benefit options. The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System is the largest
of the three plans, accounting for more than 95% of the members. The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System
is further divided into two separate groups, as follows:
(a) State/School Group - includes members employed by the State, school districts, community
colleges, vocational-technical schools and educational cooperatives. The State of Kansas makes all employer
contributions for this group, 85% of which comes from the State General Fund. State legislation enacted in 2003
made certain pre-1962 Board employees (which are part of a small group of pre-1962 Board and University of Kansas
Hospital Authority employees known as the “TIAA Group”), special members of the State/School Group.
(b) Local Group - all participating cities, counties, library boards, water districts and political
A-5
subdivisions are included in this group. Local employers contribute at a different rate than the State/School Group
rate. State legislation enacted in 2003 made certain pre-1962 employees of the University of Kansas Hospital
Authority (which are a part of a small group of pre-1962 Board and University of Kansas Hospital Authority employees
known as the “TIAA Group”), special members of the Local Group.
KPERS is currently a qualified, governmental, § 401(a) defined benefit pension plan, and has received IRS
determination letters attesting to the plan’s qualified status dated October 14, 1999, and March 5, 2001. KPERS is
also a “contributory” defined benefit plan, meaning that employees make contributions to the plan. This contrasts
it from noncontributory pension plans, which are funded solely by employer contributions. The Issuer's employees
currently annually contribute 6% of their gross salary to the plan if such employees are KPERS Tier 1 members
(covered employment prior to July 1, 2009) or KPERS Tier 2 members (covered employment on or after July 1, 2009).
In 2012, the Legislature created a new KPERS Tier 3 category (covered employment on or after January 1,
2015) based on a cash balance plan. Each Tier 3 member shall have a retirement annuity account to which such
participant shall contribute 6% of their gross salary to the plan. The employer or State contribution varies based on
longevity of participant service: (a) 3% for less than 5 years; (b) 4% for at least 5 years but less than 12 years; (c) 5%
for at least 12 years but less than 24 years; and (d) 6% for 24 or more years. Such account shall receive an interest
credit of 5.25% per annum, and under certain circumstances, shall receive additional interest credits. Subject to
certain exceptions, a Tier 3 member, upon retirement, shall receive a single life annuity benefit.
Also in 2012, the Legislature adopted a number of other changes to KPERS including: (a) increasing the
statutory maximum employer contribution annual increase from 0.6% per year (status quo) to 0.9% per year in 2014,
1.0% in 2015, 1.1% in 2016 and 1.2% per year in 2017 and thereafter, (b) eliminating COLA adjustments for Tier 2
member with corresponding benefit adjustments (effective January 1, 2014), (c) providing additional flexibility for
alternative investments for the plan, and (d) providing additional contribution flexibility for Tier 1 members with
corresponding benefit adjustments effective January 1, 2014, subject to approval by the IRS (the IRS issued a private
letter ruling stating the election granted to Tier 1 members was impermissible; therefore, employee contributions
for Tier 1 members increased to 5% of compensation effective January 1, 2014, and to 6% of compensation effective
January 1, 2015).
In 2015, the Legislature authorized, subject to certain conditions, the issuance of revenue bonds in an
amount not to exceed $1 billion (plus associated costs of issuance) (the “Revenue Bonds”), the proceeds of which
must be applied to the unfunded actuarial pension liability as directed by KPERS. The repayment of the Revenue
Bonds shall be subject to legislative annual appropriation, shall not be an obligation of the KPERS system, and the
full faith and credit or taxing power of the State shall not be pledged to the repayment of the Revenue Bonds.
Additionally, the statutory maximum annual increases to employer contributions for State/School Group and certain
employees of the State department of corrections were modified as follows: (a) if the Revenue Bonds are issued
and finance capitalized interest, an increase of 1.1% in 2015 and 1.2% in 2016 and thereafter; or (b) if such Revenue
Bonds are not issued to finance capitalized interest, such rate of contribution shall be 10.91% in 2015 and 10.81% in
2016. The Revenue Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $1,005,180,000 were issued on August 20, 2015, to
finance a portion of the unfunded actuarial pension liability and costs of issuance, but did not finance capitalized
interest.
The Issuer's contribution varies from year to year based upon the annual actuarial valuation and appraisal
made by KPERS, subject to legislative caps on percentage increases. The Issuer's contribution is 8.46% of the
employee’s gross salary for calendar year 2017. In addition, the Issuer contributes 0% of the employee’s gross salary
for Death and Disability Insurance for covered employees for the period beginning April 1, 2016, through June 30,
2017, and 1% of the employee’s gross salary for Death and Disability Insurance for covered employees for the period
beginning July 1, 2017.
According to the Valuation Report as of December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Valuation Report”), the KPERS Local
Group, of which the Issuer is a member, carried an unfunded accrued actuarial liability (“UAAL”) of $1.485 billion at
the end of 2015. The 2015 Valuation Report includes additional information relating to the funded status of the
KPERS Local Group, including recent trends in the funded status of the KPERS Local Group, and is available on the
KPERS website at kpers.org/about/reports.html. The Issuer has no means to independently verify any of the
A-6
information set forth on the KPERS website or in the 2015 Valuation Report, which is the most recent financial and
actuarial information available on the KPERS website relating to the funded status of the KPERS Local Group. The
2015 Valuation Report sets the employer contribution rate for the period beginning January 1, 2018, for the KPERS
Local Group, and KPERS’ actuaries identified that an employer contribution rate of 8.39% of covered payroll would
be necessary, in addition to statutory contributions by covered employees, to eliminate the UAAL by 2033, the end
of the actuarial period. The statutory contribution rate of employers currently equals the 2015 Valuation Report’s
actuarial rate. As a result, members of the Local Group are adequately funding their projected actuarial liabilities
and the UAAL can be expected to diminish over time. KPERS’ actuaries project the required employer contribution
rate to increase by the maximum statutorily allowed rate, which is 1.1% in fiscal year 2016 and 1.2% in fiscal year
2017 and thereafter.
The Issuer has established membership in the Kansas Police and Fire Retirement System (“KP&F”) for its
police and fire personnel. KP&F is a division of and is administered by KPERS. Annual contributions are adjusted
annually based on actuarial studies, subject to legislative caps on percentage increases. According to the 2015
Valuation Report, KP&F carried an UAAL of $772 million at the end of 2015. For the year beginning January 1, 2017,
employees contributed 7.15% of gross compensation and the Issuer contributed 19.03% of employees’ gross
compensation. In 2013, the Legislature adopted a number of changes to the KP&F which included (a) raising the cap
on maximum KP&F benefits from 80% to 90% of final average salary and (b) permitting certain active KP&F members
to pay a lump sum amount prior to or on their retirement date to enhance the individual retirement benefit at their
own cost.
In 2015, the Issuer was required to implement GASB 68 – Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions.
KPERS produces a Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedules of Pension Amounts by
Employer and Nonemployer (the “GASB 68 Report”) which provides the net pension liability allocated to each KPERS
participant, including the Issuer. The GASB 68 Report is available on the KPERS website at
kpers.org/about/reports.html. The Issuer has no means to independently verify any of the information set forth on
the KPERS website or in the GASB 68 Report. It is important to note that under existing State law, the Issuer has no
legal obligation for the UAAL or the net pension liability calculated by KPERS, and such figures are for informational
purposes only.

ECONOMIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CITY
The City of Salina 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 City. Such companies include Schwan’s Global Supply Chain, Inc., Salina Vortex,
GeoProbe, Bergkamp, Kasa Industrial Controls, Premier Pneumatics, Great Plains Manufacturing, PKM Steel,
Crestwood Cabinets, McShares, Inc., Pepsi Cola, ElDorado Bus, Exide Battery, Advance Auto Parts Distribution
Center, and Philips Lighting. Currently, manufacturing, retail trade, and service industries rank as the three primary
employers in the City. No single industry is dominant. The government sector and wholesale trade industries make
up the second tier of Salina employers.
The City serves as a 24-county regional trade center for north central Kansas. Many individuals and
businesses within a 70-mile radius travel to the City to purchase consumer goods and services. This designation as
a regional trade center is supported by the fact that the City had the third highest “trade pull factor” of all Kansas
first class cities in 2012 according to Kansas State University. City trade pull factor is computed by dividing the per
capita sales tax of a city by the statewide per capita sales tax.
According to a 2016 Fort Hays State University Docking Institute of Public Affairs report, at December 31,
2014, over 100 businesses and organizations at the Salina Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Center employed
3,555 employees with a combined payroll in excess of $141.5 million. The report also cited that the Airport/Airport
Industrial Center accounted for 17.3 percent of the employment in Saline County and 25 percent of the total
economic activity in a seven-county area.
The Kansas Department of Labor estimated the civilian labor force in the City of Salina for the year 2016 to
be 34,010 persons. The estimated median household income for the City in 2015 was $46,167 and owner-occupied
housing rates in the City were 63.8%
Salina is a city centered more on industry than agriculture. Currently, there are approximately 100
manufacturing and processing companies located in the City. The City, Saline County, the Chamber of Commerce,
and the Salina Airport Authority have developed several economic incentives which can be offered as inducements
to opening industrial facilities. These include property tax abatement for basic industry, the waiving of building
permit and inspection fees, refunding of sales tax paid on machinery and equipment, and providing training for
employees through the Salina Area Technical College and the Kansas State University at Salina. Additionally, a “build-
to-suit-tenant” agreement is available on sites in the Airport Industrial Center that can provide 100% financing for
land and building costs.
Several major commercial projects are currently under construction in Salina. Dillon Companies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Kroger Company, recently completed and opened a 77,000 square foot facility. Dick’s Sporting Goods
opened a facility formerly occupied by Sutherland Lumber Company. The location is shared with a Marshalls clothing
store. In addition, several new restaurants have opened, including Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Starbucks
and Taco Bell. Daimaru steakhouse doubled in size at a new location. In April 2014, Unified School District No. 305
received voter approval for and subsequently issued $110,700,000 of general obligation bonds to fund a wide variety
of improvements.
The Salina Airport Authority
The Salina Airport Authority (the “Authority”) is a body corporate and politic. The Authority was created
by the City of Salina in April 1965 pursuant to the authority granted by the City by the surplus property and public
airport authority act of the State of Kansas. The Authority was created for the purpose of accepting as surplus
property portions of the former Schilling Air Force Base, which was closed by the United States Department of
Defense in June 1965. By quitclaim deed the Authority received over 2,900 acres of land and numerous buildings
for the purpose of operating and developing the Salina Municipal Airport and the Salina Airport Industrial Center.
The Authority is managed and controlled by a five-member Board of Directors appointed by the Salina City
Commission. In 2012, the Salina Municipal Airport was renamed the Salina Regional Airport.
A-8
The Salina Regional Airport (the “Airport”) is the only commercial service airport serving Salina/Saline
County and the 24-county area, which comprises North Central Kansas. The Airport also services the corporate,
business, private aviation and flight training needs of industry, business and individuals in the area. The Airport is
also used by Kansas State University Polytechnic (“KSUP”). The campus of KSUP is located adjacent to the Airport.
KSUP offers degrees in professional flight training, airframe and power plant maintenance, UAS, airport management
and avionics technology.
During 2016, the Airport’s commercial air service was improved by the commencement of scheduled flights
provided by Great Lakes Airlines. The airline offers daily scheduled passenger air service to Denver International
Airport with a 30-passenger Embraer EMB-120 regional aircraft. Great Lakes Airlines is a United Airlines code share
partner. With the enhanced air service, the airport was also federalized with the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) providing federal screening resources. With the Great Lakes’ service, the Airport anticipates
having over 10,000 passenger enplanements during 2017 elevating the Airport’s classification to that of a “Primary”
airport by the Federal Aviation Administration. Also adding to the increased enplanement count is the Airport’s
status as an Airport of Embarkation/Debarkation by the Fort Riley, Kansas Army Installation located just 60 miles to
the east of Salina on I-17. The Airport also accommodates a wide variety of aircraft including business jets, military,
flight training and general aviation aircraft. During 2016, the Salina Air Traffic Control Tower logged over 77,000
aircraft operations serving the needs of over 7,000 business jets, the professional flight training department of
Kansas State University, general aviation and military aircraft. The Airport’s fixed base operator, Avflight Salina,
delivered over 1.8 million gallons of fuel to the wide variety of aircraft utilizing the Airport during 2016.
The Airport and Airport Industrial Center is home for over 100 businesses and organizations. Fifty-eight of
the businesses and organizations are tenants of the Authority. One of the primary functions of the Authority is to
facilitate the continued growth of jobs and payroll at the Airport and Airport Industrial Center. The Authority works
in partnership with the City of Salina, Saline County, and the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Kansas
Department of Commerce for the retention of existing business and industry and the recruitment of new business
and industry. A 2016 report prepared by the Docking Institute at Fort Hays State University cited the business and
organizations located at the Salina Regional Airport and Airport Industrial Center contributed approximately 60
percent of the total economic activity in Saline County during 2014.

Future Indebtedness
The City annually prepares and adopts a five-year capital improvements plan. This plan identifies and
prioritizes potential capital improvement projects within the City and includes the respective funding sources. Over
the next two years the City anticipates issuing general obligation bonds to retire its outstanding Series 2017-1
Temporary Note as well as providing general obligation note and/or bond funding for approximately $25 million of
improvements including construction of a riverfront renewal project and police training facility. A portion of the debt
service payments on bonds issued for the riverfront project are anticipated to be paid from local sales tax. Borrowing
amounts described above do not include future subdivision improvement projects financed with general obligation
bonds payable as to both principal and interest in part from special assessments levied upon the benefitted property.
The City typically undertakes such projects after receiving and reviewing a valid petition from property owners. See
FINANCIAL INFORMATION – “Special Assessments”.
The City has been involved with civil litigation concerning environmental contamination in certain areas
within the boundaries of the Salina Airport Industrial Center. The contamination was caused by military activity that
occurred between 1942 and 1966 when the site was operated as the Schilling Air Force Base. The City, the Salina
Airport Authority, Unified School District No. 305, and Kansas State University (the “Salina Public Entities”) sued the
United States seeking federal funds to clean up federal agency (DoD) caused contamination. The Salina Public
Entities have reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the terms of the
settlement are detailed in a Consent Decree filed in U.S. District Court on May 2nd, 2013. The Consent Decree
provides for a 10% local share of initial project costs to be paid by the City. The Consent Decree settlement is in
relation to an investigation to determine the extent and severity of the contamination and to determine the best
method of remediation. It does not include any funding for actual remediation, but the investigation is fully funded
by the settlement. Once the investigation is completed, there will be another round of negotiations with the Federal
Government to determine respective financial responsibilities for remediating the contamination. In the event
funding cannot be secured in a timely fashion or in sufficient amounts, it may be necessary for the City to issue debt
to relocate certain water supply wells. The exact timing and amount, if any, of such borrowing cannot be determined
at this time. If City borrowing is necessary for the project, it is anticipated that utility revenue bonds will be the final
type of debt considered.
Debt Payment Record
The City has always met principal and interest payments on all outstanding bonds and temporary notes
when due and payable.
Legal Debt Limits
Cities within Kansas are permitted to issue bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed 30% of the total
assessed valuation of the city. Bonds issued for the purpose of improving, acquiring, enlarging, or extending
municipal utilities, including storm and sanitary sewer systems; bonds issued to pay the cost of improvements to
intersections and streets in front of city or school district property; bonds for bridges as authorized by a vote of the
electors of a city; bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds; and bonds payable from revenue sources other than
the general taxing authority of the city are not included in total aggregate debt for purposes of computing a city’s
debt limitation.

Special Assessments
The City has pursued a policy of utilizing special benefit districts to assign the cost of certain internal
improvement projects to the property that directly benefits from the construction. Kansas statutes allow for the
creation of special benefit districts to pay for the cost of a variety of improvements including street construction,
storm water drains, sanitary sewer system improvements, street lighting, water system improvements, recreational
facilities, flood control projects, bridges, and parking facilities. The City has typically utilized special benefit districts
to pay for the costs associated with constructing streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and lighting in new residential
developments within the City. When a developer requests the use of Special Assessments to finance public
improvements, the City requires that they pay 20% of the estimated cost of the project in cash, or file a letter of
credit equivalent to 35% of the estimated cost of the project. The letter of credit is released when Certificates of
Occupancy have been issued for 35% of the lots in the development. Special benefit districts have also been created
to pay for the cost of improvements to streets and sidewalks in the City’s downtown area.
The creation of special benefit districts, the determination of property benefited, and the method of
allocating the cost of the improvement is at the discretion of the City. Property owners have the ability to suggest
improvements through a petition process and to comment on the final amount of their assessment. The City may
or may not be included as part of the special benefit district. All property owners have the option to pay their portion
of the improvement cost with a one-time payment during a 30-day assessment prepayment period or pay in annual
installments with interest over a certain number of years.
Upon completion of the special benefit district improvement projects and a 30-day prepayment period, the
City issues general obligation bonds to provide for permanent project financing. The payment of the principal of and
interest on such bonds is paid from the special assessments levied annually on the benefited property. Special
assessments are paid at the same time and in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes. If at any time the
special assessments received from the property owners are insufficient to provide for the payment of the principal
of and interest on the bonds, the City is obligated to provide for the balance of such payments through its ability to
levy unlimited ad valorem property taxes.

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 or until 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
treasurer at the time of the vehicle’s annual registration. Vehicle registration dates are assigned 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 years shown.

Sales Tax
Sales tax collections are the responsibility of the Kansas Department of Revenue. The Department of
Revenue distributes the local option countywide and citywide sales taxes on a monthly basis. Countywide sales
taxes are distributed between the levying county and the cities located within the county based on population and
relative tax levies. Citywide local option sales taxes are distributed solely to the levying city. Statewide sales taxes
are retained entirely by the state.
In 1982 the voters of Saline County, in accordance with Kansas statutes, approved a 1% countywide local
option sales tax. In 1992 voters of the City approved a local option .50% citywide sales tax for purposes of helping
fund general operations expenditures of the City. Both of these taxes were approved in perpetuity.
In November 2008, voters in the City of Salina approved an additional .40% citywide retailers dedicated
sales tax to pay the costs of various City capital improvements including constructing, operating and maintaining a
$12.5 million aquatic park. In May of 2016, voters approved a .75% citywide retailers sales tax that will replace the
2008 sales tax on October 1, 2016 and will be used for capital improvements and economic development.

Budgeting Procedures
Applicable Kansas statutes require that budgets be legally adopted for all funds (including debt service and
enterprise funds) unless exempted by a specific statute. All budgets are prepared utilizing the modified accrual basis
further modified by the encumbrance method of accounting. For example, commitments such as purchase orders
and contracts, in addition to disbursements and accounts payable, are recorded as expenditures.
The statutes provide that the budget for the succeeding calendar year must be prepared on or before
August 1 and published on or before August 5 of each year. A public hearing is required to be held on or before
August 15, with the final budget being adopted on or before August 25 of each year. Original appropriations may
be modified by supplemental appropriations and transfers among budget categories. The City Commission must
approve all significant changes.
The City may levy taxes in accordance with the requirements of its adopted budget. Property tax levies are
based on the adopted budget of the City and the assessed valuations provided by the County appraiser.
The Kansas Legislature passed legislation in 2015 and 2016 that, among other things, imposes an additional
limit on the aggregate amount of property taxes that may be imposed by cities and counties, without a majority vote
of qualified electors of the city or county (the “Tax Lid”). The Tax Lid has an effective date of January 1, 2017 (and
thus applies only to budgets adopted for fiscal years ended in 2018 and thereafter), and provides that, subject to
certain exceptions, no city or county may approve an appropriation or budget which provides for funding by property
tax revenues in an amount exceeding that of the immediately prior year, as adjusted to reflect the average changes
in the consumer price index for the preceding five calendar years and provided that such average shall not be less
than zero, unless approved by a majority vote of electors. The Tax Lid does not require an election in the following
situations:
“(1) Increased property tax revenues that, in the current year, are produced and attributable
to the taxation of:
(A) The construction of any new structures or improvements or the remodeling or renovation
of any existing structures or improvements on real property, which shall not include any ordinary maintenance or
repair of any existing structures or improvements on the property;
(B) increased personal property valuation;
A-19
(C) real property located within added jurisdictional territory;
(D) real property which has changed in use;
(E) expiration of any abatement of property from property tax; or
(F) expiration of a tax increment financing district, rural housing incentive district,
neighborhood revitalization area or any other similar property tax rebate or redirection program.
(2) Increased property tax revenues that will be spent on:
(A) Bond, temporary notes, no fund warrants, state infrastructure loans and interest
payments not exceeding the amount of ad valorem property taxes levied in support of such payments, and payments
made to a public building commission and lease payments but only to the extent such payments were obligations
that existed prior to July 1, 2016;
(B) payment of special assessments not exceeding the amount of ad valorem property taxes
levied in support of such payments;
(C) court judgments or settlements of legal actions against the city or county and legal costs
directly related to such judgments or settlements;
(D) expenditures of city or county funds that are specifically mandated by federal or state law
with such mandates becoming effective on or after July 1, 2015, and loss of funds from federal sources after January
1, 2017, where the city or county is contractually obligated to provide a service;
(E) expenses relating to a federal, state or local disaster or federal, state or local emergency,
including, but not limited to, a financial emergency, declared by a federal or state official. The board of county
commissioners may request the governor to declare such disaster or emergency; or
(F) increased costs above the consumer price index for law enforcement, fire protection or
emergency medical services.
(3) Any increased property tax revenues generated for law enforcement, fire protection or
emergency medical services shall be expended exclusively for these purposes but shall not be used for the
construction or remodeling of buildings.
(4) The property tax revenues levied by the city or county have declined:
(A) In one or more of the next preceding three calendar years and the increase in the amount
of funding for the budget or appropriation from revenue produced from property taxes does not exceed the average
amount of funding from such revenue of the next preceding three calendar years, adjusted to reflect changes in the
consumer price index for all urban consumers as published by the United States department of labor for the
preceding calendar year; or
(B) the increase in the amount of ad valorem tax to be levied is less than the change in the
consumer price index plus the loss of assessed property valuation that has occurred as the result of legislative action,
judicial action or a ruling by the board of tax appeals.”.
The Tax Lid also provides that “[w]henever a city or county is required by law to levy taxes for the financing
of the budget of any political or governmental subdivision of this state that is not authorized by law to levy taxes on
its own behalf, and the governing body of such city or county is not authorized or empowered to modify or reduce
the amount of taxes levied therefore, the tax levies of the political or governmental subdivision shall not be included
in or considered in computing the aggregate limitation upon the property tax levies of the city or county.”
Because of ambiguities in the Tax Lid, it is unclear how the various exceptions will be interpreted and how
the Tax Lid will be implemented. As a result, is unclear how the Tax Lid will impact the City.
However, as described above, the Tax Lid provides a specific exception for “[b]ond, temporary notes, no
fund warrants, state infrastructure loans, and interest payments not exceeding the amount of ad valorem property
taxes levied in support of such payments” as well as certain lease payments. Therefore, the City is permitted under
the Tax Lid to levy unlimited ad valorem taxes as necessary to pay principal of and interest on the Securities, as
required by the Bond Resolution and the Note Resolution.
The City cannot predict the impact of the Tax Lid on the ratings on the Securities, or the general rating of
the City. A change in the rating on the Securities or a change in the general rating of the City may adversely impact
the market price of the Securities in the secondary market.
Kansas law prohibits cities and other governmental units from creating indebtedness unless there is money
A-20
on hand in the proper fund and unencumbered by previous commitments with which to pay the indebtedness. The
execution of a contract, or the issuing of a purchase order, automatically encumbers the money in the fund for the
payment of the amount represented by the commitment. It makes no difference that the amount may not have to
be paid until more moneys are in the fund or until the following year. An exception to this cash basis law is the
issuance of debt, in the form of bonds, notes, or warrants, pursuant to statutory authority, referendum or by the
State Board of Tax Appeals. In the event debt is issued, funds need not be on hand for future payments.
Appraisal and Assessment Procedures
The determination of appraised and assessed valuation and the collection of property taxes for all political
subdivisions in the State of Kansas are the responsibility of the various counties. The Saline County appraiser
annually determines the appraised valuation of property located in the City. The appraiser’s determination is based
on a number of criteria established by Kansas’s statute. All property, with the exception of agricultural land, is
appraised based on estimated fair market value. Agricultural property is appraised based on productivity value.
Kansas statutes require that each parcel of real property be reviewed and inspected by the county appraiser once
every four years for taxation purposes. Once appraised valuations have been determined, they are multiplied by
the applicable statutory assessment rates to arrive at the assessed valuations. The total assessed valuation is then
used to establish property tax rates.
Property Assessment Rates
In order to determine the assessed valuation of a parcel of property for taxation purposes, the county
appraiser multiplies the appraised value of the parcel by the applicable assessment rate. Current property
assessment rates were established in 1986, effective in 1989, and slightly modified in 1992. The most significant
1992 modifications involved lowering the assessment rate on commercial and industrial real property from 30% to
25% and on residential property from 12% to 11.5%. The following table shows the current assessment rates for the
different classes of taxable tangible property within the State of Kansas.
Real Property:
Residential 11.5%
Commercial and Industrial-
Real Property 25.0
Agricultural Land (1) 30.0
Agricultural Improvements 25.0
Vacant Lots 12.0
Not-for-Profit (2) 12.0
All Other 30.0
Personal Property: (3)
Mobile Homes 11.5%
Mineral Leaseholds (large) 30.0
Mineral Leaseholds (small) 25.0
Commercial & Industrial
Machinery & Equipment 25.0
All Other 30.0
Utilities:
Railroads federally mandated rate
All Other Public Utilities 33.0%
Motor Vehicles: 20.0%
Property Exempt:
Property used for the following purposes, or portions thereof, are exempt from taxation
provided certain statutory requirements are met: religious, educational, literary, scientific,
A-21
benevolent, alumni associations, veterans’ organizations, or charitable purposes, including
parsonages and community service organizations providing humanitarian services.
(1) Agricultural land is valued based on the productivity value of the property and not estimated market valuation.
(2) A bill passed by the Kansas Legislature in 1994 clarified this class of property to include all property owned and
operated by not-for-profit organizations not subject to federal income taxation pursuant to paragraphs (2), (3),
(4), (7), (8), or (10) of Subsection C of Section 501 of the federal internal revenue code. This bill specifically
established that private, not-for-profit country clubs would be assessed at 12% for all land that does not
accommodate buildings or improvements.
(3) The 2006 Kansas Legislature exempted from all property or ad valorem property taxes levied under the laws of
the State, all commercial, industrial, telecommunications, and railroad machinery and equipment acquired by
qualified purchase or lease after June 30, 2006 or transported into the State after June 30, 2006 for the purpose
of expanding an existing business or creation of a new business.
Equalization Ratios
Annually, the Property Valuation Division of the Kansas Department of Revenue conducts a study to
compare the assessed valuation of real property to estimated market value based on property sale prices. The study
derives an equalization ratio which, when divided into assessed valuation, provides a means to approximate actual
market value. According to the 2016 Preliminary Kansas Appraisal/Sales Ratio Study, the equalization ratio for
residential real property in Saline County was 11.36%, and commercial and industrial property was 23.85%.

the Issuer’s Annual Report, consisting of the Financial Information and Operating Data described as
follows:
(1) Financial Information. The financial statements of the Issuer and the System for
such prior Fiscal Year, accompanied by an audit report resulting from an audit conducted by an

is contained in Appendix A of the Official Statement. If such audit report is not available by the

statements shall be filed in the same manner as the Annual Report promptly after they become

document included by reference is a final official statement, it must be available from the Repository. The
Issuer shall clearly identify each such other document so included by reference.
In each case, the Annual Report may be submitted as a single document or as separate documents
comprising a package, and may cross-reference other information as provided in this Section; provided that
the audit report and accompanying financial statements may be submitted separately from the balance of
the Annual Report and later than the date required above for the filing of the Annual Report if they are not
available by that date. If the Issuer’s Fiscal Year changes, it shall give notice of such change in the same
manner as for a Material Event under Section 3(b).
(b) From and after such time that Section (b)(5) of the SEC Rule applies to any series of Bonds,
if the Annual Report is not filed within the time period specified in subsection (a) hereof, the Issuer shall

or System or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or System, other than in
the ordinary course of business, the entry into a definitive agreement to undertake such an action
or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its

Except as provided in Section 2(b) hereof, if the Dissemination Agent has not received an Annual Report

writing to the Dissemination Agent from time to time, inform such person of the event, and request
that the Issuer promptly notify the Dissemination Agent in writing whether or not to report the

(2) Whenever the Issuer obtains knowledge of the occurrence of an event, because of
a notice from the Dissemination Agent pursuant to Section 4(c)(1) or otherwise, the Issuer shall
promptly determine if such event constitutes a Material Event and shall promptly notify the
Dissemination Agent of such determination. If appropriate, such writing shall instruct the
Dissemination Agent to report the occurrence pursuant to Section 4(c)(3).
(3) If the Dissemination Agent has been given written instructions by the Issuer to
report the occurrence of a Material Event pursuant to Section 4(c)(2), the Dissemination Agent
shall promptly file a notice of such Material Event with the Repository and provide a copy thereof
to the Issuer and the Bond Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of Material Events

notice (if any) of the underlying event is given to the Owners of affected Bonds pursuant to the
Bond Resolution.
(d) Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent
shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure Undertaking, and the Issuer agrees
to indemnify and save the Dissemination Agent, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless
against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise or performance
of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) of defending
against any claim of liability, but excluding liabilities due to the Dissemination Agent’s negligence or
willful misconduct. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of
6
the Dissemination Agent and payment of the Bonds. The Dissemination Agent shall not be responsible in
any manner for the content of any notice or report prepared by the Issuer pursuant to this Disclosure
Undertaking.
(e) Other Designated Agents. The Issuer may, from time to time, appoint or designate a
Designated Agent to submit Annual Reports, Material Event notices, and other notices or reports pursuant
to this Disclosure Undertaking. The Issuer hereby appoints the Dissemination Agent and the Designated
Agent(s) solely for the purpose of submitting Issuer-approved Annual Reports, Material Event notices, and
other notices or reports pursuant to this Disclosure Undertaking. The Issuer may revoke this designation at
any time upon written notice to the Designated Agent.
Section 5. Termination of Reporting Obligation. The Issuer’s obligations under this
Disclosure Undertaking for a particular series of Bonds shall terminate upon the legal defeasance, prior
redemption or payment in full of that series of Bonds. If the Issuer’s obligations hereunder are assumed in
full by some other entity as permitted in the Bond Resolution, such person shall be responsible for
compliance with under this Disclosure Undertaking in the same manner as if it were the Issuer, and the
Issuer shall have no further responsibility hereunder. If such termination or assumption occurs prior to the
final maturity of such Bonds, the Issuer shall give notice of such termination or assumption in the same
manner as for a Material Event under Section 3(b).
Section 6. Bonds Subject to this Disclosure Undertaking; Amendment; Waiver.
(a) All outstanding Bonds as of the date of this Disclosure Undertaking shown on Schedule 1
are hereby made subject to this Disclosure Undertaking. The Issuer may make any future series of Bonds
subject to this Disclosure Undertaking by incorporating by reference in a Bond Resolution or executing a
certificate to such effect in conjunction with the issuance of such series of Bonds.
(b) All references to the “Bonds” in this Disclosure Undertaking shall apply separately to each
series of Bonds that are or become subject to this Disclosure Undertaking, without further amendment
hereto.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (d) or anything else contained in this
Disclosure Undertaking to the contrary, in conjunction with the public offering of any series of Bonds, the
Issuer and the Dissemination Agent may amend the categories of Operating Data to be updated as set forth
in Section 2(a)(2) and Exhibit A to conform to the operating data included in the final Official Statement
for such series of Bonds, in conformance with the requirements and interpretations of the SEC Rule as of
the date of such final Official Statement, without further amendment to this Disclosure Undertaking.
Thereafter, the Operating Data to be filed by the Issuer with the Repository with respect to the Bonds (and
all other series of Bonds then subject to this Disclosure Undertaking) shall be deemed to be amended to
reflect the requirements of the revised Exhibit A for the new series of Bonds.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), the Issuer may amend this Disclosure
Undertaking and any provision of this Disclosure Undertaking may be waived, provided that Bond Counsel
or other counsel experienced in federal securities law matters provides the Issuer with its written opinion
that the undertaking of the Issuer contained herein, as so amended or after giving effect to such waiver, is
in compliance with the SEC Rule and all current amendments thereto and interpretations thereof that are
applicable to this Disclosure Undertaking; provided, however, that this Disclosure Undertaking, including
Schedule 1 hereto, may be amended for the purpose of (1) extending the coverage of this Disclosure
Undertaking to any additional series of Bonds or (2) removing reference to any series of Bonds for which
the Issuer’s reporting obligations have terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof, each without the
provision of a written opinion as otherwise required by this paragraph.
7
(e) If a provision of this Disclosure Undertaking is amended or waived with respect to a series
of Bonds pursuant to subsection (d), the Issuer shall describe such amendment or waiver in the next Annual
Report, and shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver
and its impact on the type (or, in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of
financial information or operating data being presented by the Issuer. In addition, if the amendment relates
to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements: (1) notice of such change
shall be given in the same manner as for a Material Event under Section 3(b); and (2) the Annual Report
for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible,
in quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting
principles and those prepared on the basis of the former accounting principles.
Section 7. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Undertaking shall be deemed
to prevent the Issuer from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth
in this Disclosure Undertaking or any other means of communication, or including any other information
in any Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Material Event, in addition to that which is required by
this Disclosure Undertaking. If the Issuer chooses to include any information in any Annual Report or
notice of occurrence of a Material Event, in addition to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure
Undertaking, the Issuer shall have no obligation under this Disclosure Undertaking to update such
information or include it in any future Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Material Event.
Section 8. Noncompliance. In the event of a failure of the Issuer or the Dissemination Agent,
if any, to comply with any provision of this Disclosure Undertaking with respect to a series of Bonds, any
Participating Underwriter or any Beneficial Owner of the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary
and appropriate, including seeking mandamus or specific performance by court order, to cause the Issuer
or the Dissemination Agent, if any, as the case may be, to comply with its obligations under this Disclosure
Undertaking. Noncompliance with the provisions of this Disclosure Undertaking shall not be deemed an
Event of Default under the Bond Resolution or the Bonds, and the sole remedy under this Disclosure
Undertaking in the event of any failure of the Issuer or the Dissemination Agent, if any, to comply with this
Disclosure Undertaking shall be an action to compel performance.
Section 9. Notices. Any notices or communications to or among the parties referenced in this

and valid counterparts of such original documents for all purposes, including the filing of any claim, action
or suit in the appropriate court of law.
Section 11. Beneficiaries. This Disclosure Undertaking shall inure solely to the benefit of the
Issuer, the Dissemination Agent, if any, each Participating Underwriter and Beneficial Owners from time
to time with respect to a series of Bonds, and shall create no rights in any other person or entity.
Section 12. Severability. If any provision in this Disclosure Undertaking, the Bond
Resolution or the Bonds relating hereto, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Disclosure Undertaking shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
8

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, 2015, 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 and deferred outflows of
resources of $46,404,451 as of December 31, 2015 and total revenues of $4,170,264 for the year then ended, and the
Housing Authority of the City of Salina which statements reflect total assets and deferred outflows of resources of
$7,561,852 as of June 30, 2015 and total revenues of $2,364,932 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.
2
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, 2015, 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.
Emphasis of Matter
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the City implemented GASB 68 during the current year. As a
result of the implementation, a restatement was made to the net position for the proportionate share of the City’s net
pension liability at December 31, 2014. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Prior Period Restatement
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, certain errors resulting in amounts previously reported as
expenses, capital assets, deferred charges on bond issuances and capital leases as of December 31, 2014, were
discovered by management of the City during the current year. Accordingly, these amounts have been restated in
the December 31, 2015, 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
The City has not presented management discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America has determined is necessary to supplement, although not required to be a part of, the
basic financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
schedules of funding progress on page 50, the schedule of the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
on page 51, and the schedule of City contributions on page 51 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 combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and
schedules 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 Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 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.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 26, 2017, 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.

The notes to the basic financial statements are an integral part of this statement.
Total Net Change In Fund Balances - Governmental Funds [12,046,328]$
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/[Loss] on sale of assets [4,155]
Proceeds from sale of assets [74,685]
Capital outlays 21,172,676
Depreciation expense [5,496,914] 15,596,922
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.58,156
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.585,779
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.[295,790]
Pension payments are reported as expenditures in the governmental funds and
do not affect the statement of net activities.1,129,005
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.[6,948,397]
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.6,250,285

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 as part of 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, 2015.
Complete financial statements for each of the individual component units may be obtained at the entity’s
administrative offices.

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.

CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
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
assets held as an agent for individuals, other governmental units, private organizations and/or other funds.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General fund - To account for resources traditionally associated with government, which are not required
legally, or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund.
Tourism and convention fund - To account for transient guest tax revenues, which are specifically restricted
to promotion and tourism activities.
Special gas fund - To account for the City's share of motor fuel tax revenues, which are legally restricted to
the maintenance, or improvement of streets within the City.
Sales tax capital fund - To account for 93% of the .40 cent sales tax designated for capital, debt, and human
services purposes.
Schilling capital improvement fund - To account for the funding provided by U.S. Government and Public
Entities and the remedial investigation, feasibility study and expenditures necessary to abate groundwater
contamination beneath the property formerly identified as Schilling Air Force Base.
Debt service fund - To account for the accumulation of resources and payment of general obligation bond
principal and interest from governmental resources and special assessment bond principal and interest from
special assessment levies when the City is obligated in some manner for the payment.
Capital projects fund - To account for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities other than
those financed by proprietary funds and trust funds.

The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Sanitation fund - To account for the operations of the City's refuse collection service.

Golf course fund - To account for the operations of the municipal golf course.
Water and sewer fund - To account for the activities of the City's water and sewer operations.
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 2016. 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.

D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity (Continued)
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 employment.
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
employment.
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, 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.
The following is the detail for fund balance classifications in the financial statements:

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 City reports a 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. Additionally, the City reports changes in the pension
liability proportion and contributions made to the pension plan after the measurement date of the net
pension liability as deferred outflows of resources in the government activities.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as
an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Unavailable revenue – property taxes, is reported in the
governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental activities in the government-wide statement of
net position. Additionally, the City reports differences between expected and actual experience, differences
between projected and actual investment earnings, changes in assumptions, and changes in the pension
liability proportion as deferred inflows for governmental activities. These amounts are deferred and
recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
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.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Note 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY (Continued)
A. Budgetary Information (Continued)
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 2015 budget was amended for the
Tourism and Convention Fund, the Bicentennial Center Fund, the Special Parks and Recreation Fund and
the Special Alcohol Fund.
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: Community Development Revolving, HOME 2012, 911
Communications, Fair Housing, Kenwood Cove Capital, Special Law Enforcement, Police Grants, Federal
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, 2015 in the Tourism and Convention Fund, and
Special Alcohol 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, 2015, the statutory limit for the City was $137,096,966, providing a
debt margin of $83,895,593.

Note 3. RESTATEMENT OF EQUITY
On January 1, 2015, the City changed its method of accounting to adopt Government Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and the City decided
to consolidate several funds. Additionally, following the close of the previous fiscal year, it was discovered
that a capital lease had not been properly recorded, that several capital assets were misclassified or
recorded incorrectly and that the deferred charge on bond issuance had been recorded incorrectly.
Accordingly, the beginning net position/fund balances were restated, the effects of which are as follows:

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)
At December 31, 2015, the City has the following investments:
Investment Type Fair Value Rating
Kansas Municipal Investment Pool 305,350$ S&P AAAf/S1+
U.S. Government Securities 4,000,000 N/A
Total fair value 4,305,350$
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, 2015, total outstanding conduit debt was $51,265,000.
Defeased debt. On July 29, 2015, the City issued $6,825,000 in general obligation refunding and internal
improvement bonds with interest ranging from 2.00 to 4.00% to current refund all $1,320,000 of the
outstanding Series 2006A general obligation improvement bonds with interest rates ranging from 3.80 to
4.35% and to refund all $5,000,000 of the outstanding Series 2014-1 temporary notes with an interest rate of
1.00%. The remaining proceeds will be used for capital improvements. The transaction resulted in an
economic gain of $126,075 and a reduction of $146,642 in future debt payments.

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION
A. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Description of Pension Plan. The City participates in a cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plan (Pension
Plan), as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for
Pension Plans. The Pension Plan is administered by the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System
(KPERS), a body corporate and an instrumentality of the State of Kansas. KPERS provides benefit
provisions to the following statewide pension groups under one plan, as provided by K.S.A. 74, article 49:
Public employees, which includes:
State/School employees
Local employees
Police and Firemen
Judges
Substantially all public employees in Kansas are covered by the Pension Plan. Participation by local
political subdivisions is optional, but irrevocable once elected.
Those employees participating in the Pension Plan for the City are included in the Local employees group
and the Kansas Police and Firemen group.
KPERS issues a stand-alone comprehensive annual financial report, which is available on the KPERS
website at www.kpers.org.
Benefits. Benefits are established by statute and may only be changed by the State Legislature. Members
(except Police and Firemen) with ten or more years of credited service, may retire as early as age 55
(Police and Firemen may be age 50 with 20 years of credited service), with an actuarially reduced monthly
benefit. Normal retirement is at age 65, age 62 with ten years of credited service, or whenever a member’s
combined age and years of service equal 85. Police and Firemen normal retirement ages are age 60 with
15 years of credited service, age 55 with 20 years, age 50 with 25 years, or any age with 36 years of
service.
Monthly retirement benefits are based on a statutory formula that includes final average salary and years
of service. When ending employment, members may withdraw their contributions from their individual
accounts, including interest. Members who withdraw their accumulated contributions lose all rights and
privileges of membership. For all pension coverage groups, the accumulated contributions and interest are
deposited into and disbursed from the membership accumulated reserve fund as established by K.S.A. 74-
4922.
Members choose one of seven payment options for their monthly retirement benefits. At retirement a
member may receive a lump-sum payment of up to 50% of the actuarial present value of the member’s
lifetime benefit. His or her monthly retirement benefit is then permanently reduced based on the amount of
the lump sum. Benefit increases, including ad hoc post-retirement benefit increases, must be passed into law
by the Kansas Legislature. Benefit increases are under the authority of the Legislature and the Governor of
the State of Kansas.
The 2012 Legislature made changes affecting new hires, current members and employers. A new KPERS 3
cash balance retirement plan for new hires starting January 1, 2015, was created. Normal retirement age for
KPERS 3 is 65 with five years of service or 60 with 30 years of service. Early retirement is available at age
55 with ten years of service, with a reduced benefit. Monthly benefit options are an annuity benefit based on
the account balance at retirement.

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)
A. Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Continued)
For all pension coverage groups, the retirement benefits are disbursed from the retirement benefit payment
reserve fund as established by K.S.A. 74-4922.
Contributions. Member contributions are established by state law, and are paid by the employee
according to the provisions of Section 414(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. State law provides that the
employer contribution rates are determined based on the results of an annual actuarial valuation. The
contributions and assets of all groups are deposited in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement Fund
established by K.S.A. 74-4921. All of the retirement systems are funded on an actuarial reserve basis.
For fiscal years beginning in 1995, Kansas legislation established statutory limits on increases in
contribution rates for KPERS employers. Annual increases in the employer contribution rates related to
subsequent benefit enhancements are not subject to these limitations. The statutory cap increase over the
prior year contribution rate is 1.0% of total payroll for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
The actuarially determined employer contribution rates (not including the 0.85% contribution rate for the
Death and Disability Program) and the statutory contribution rates are as follows:
Actuarial Statutory Employer
Employer Rate Capped Rate
Local employees 9.48% 9.48%
Police and Firemen 21.36% 21.36%
Member contribution rates as a percentage of eligible compensation for the fiscal year 2015 are 5.00% or
6.00% for Local employees and 7.15% for Police and Firemen.
Employer Allocations. Although KPERS administers one cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit
pension plan, separate (sub) actuarial valuations are prepared to determine the actuarial determined
contribution rate by group. Following this method, the measurement of the collective net pension liability,
deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense are determined
separately for each of the following groups of the plan:
State/School
Local
Police and Firemen
Judges
To facilitate the separate (sub) actuarial valuations, KPERS maintains separate accounts to identify
additions, deductions, and fiduciary net position applicable to each group. The allocation percentages
presented for each group in the schedule of employer and nonemployer allocations are applied to amounts
presented in the schedules of pension amounts by employer and nonemployer.
The allocation percentages for the City’s share of the collective pension amounts as of December 31,
2015, are based on the ratio of its contributions to the total of the employer and nonemployer contributions
of the group for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015.
The contributions used exclude contributions made for prior service, excess benefits and irregular
payments. At June 30, 2015, the City’s proportion for the Local employees group was 0.764%, which was
a decrease of .040% from its proportion measured at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the City’s
proportion for the Police and Firemen group was 2.258%, which was an decrease of .037% from its
proportion measured at June 30, 2014.

Net Pension Liability. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the City reported a liability of $26,423,473 and
$24,948,243, respectively, for its total proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Local and
Police and Firemen groups.
Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of
December 31, 2014, which was rolled forward to June 30, 2015, using the following actuarial assumptions:
Assumptions Rate
Price inflation 3.00%
Wage inflation 4.00%
Salary increases, including wage increases 4% to 16.00%, including inflation
Long-term rate of return, net of investment expense, and
including price inflation 8.00% Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table for Males and Females, with
adjustments to better match actual experience. Separate tables apply for males and females as well as
each group (State, School, Local, KP&F and Judges).
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2014 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study conducted for three years ending December 31, 2012.
The long-term expected rate of return of pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges
are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates
of return by the target asset allocation percentage.
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s
target asset allocation as of June 30, 2015 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Asset Long-Term Allocation Real Rate of Return
Global Equity 47.00% 6.30%
Fixed Income 13.00% 0.80%
Yield driven 8.00% 4.20%
Real Return 11.00% 1.70%
Real estate 11.00% 5.40%
Alternatives 8.00% 9.40%
Short-term investments 2.00%-0.50%
100.00%
Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 8.00%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be
made at the contractually required rate. The State, School and Local employers do not necessarily
contribute the full actuarial determined rate. Based on legislation passed in 1993, the employer
contribution rates certified by the System’s Board of Trustees for these groups may not increase by more
than the statutory cap. The expected KPERS employer statutory contribution was modeled for future
years, assuming all actuarial assumptions are met in future years. Employers contribute the full actuarial
determined rate for Police & Firemen, and Judges. Future employer contribution rates were also modeled
for Police & Firemen and Judges, assuming all actuarial assumptions are met in future years. Based on
those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine
the total pension liability.

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.
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 Workers' Compensation
Reserve Fund because it is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Of the
liability, $181,093 is considered to be due within one year.

Claim payments [905,465] [887,806]
Unpaid claims, December 31 281,601$ 342,362$ 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:

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, 2015.
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 Waste 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 $1,902,252 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.
The City's solid waste fund will recognize the remaining estimate cost of closure and postclosure care of
$4,697,309 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled over the remaining life expectancy of 142 years.
These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 2015. 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 Water 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.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)
H. Environmental Matters (Continued)
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.
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).

H. Environmental Matters (Continued)
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 "Work"). 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.

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)
I. Postemployment Health Care Plan (Continued)
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 $209,000 to the Plan (approximately 100% of total premiums) through
their required contribution of $507 per month for retiree-only coverage and $1,360 for family coverage.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost
(expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount
actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a
level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any
unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the Plan for the year, the
amount actually contributed to the plan, and the changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation to the Plan:
Annual required contribution 570,840$
Interest on Net OPEB Obligation 130,099
Adjustment to Annual Required Contribution [144,554]
Annual OPEB cost (expense) 556,385
Benefit payments [209,000]
Change in net OPEB obligation 347,385
Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year 4,336,620
Net OPEB obligation - end of year 4,684,005$
The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the Plan, and the net OPEB
obligation for the year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows:
Annual
Fiscal Annual OPEB Net
Year OPEB Cost OPEB
Ended Cost Contributed Obligation
December 31, 2013 570,434 148,000 3,986,743
December 31, 2014 534,877 185,000 4,336,620
December 31, 2015 556,385 209,000 4,684,005 Funding Status and Funding Progress. As of the year ended December 31, 2015, 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 $22,958,300, and the ratio of
the UAAL to the covered payroll was 24.13%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. 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, 2015, 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.
I. Deficit Fund Balance
The Capital Projects Fund maintained a deficit fund balance of $[10,537,480] at December 31, 2015, as did
the following nonmajor funds: 911 Communications Fund - $[3,281], Police Grants Fund - $[25,139], Federal
CARE Grant Fund - $[10,785].
J. Statutory Violations - Deficit Cash Balance
The Capital Projects Fund had a deficit cash balance of $[3,499,129] at December 31, 2015, which is a
violation of K.S.A. 10-1113.
K. Subsequent Events
On January 9, 2014, the City entered into a $4,250,000 loan agreement with the Kansas Department of Health
and Environment. However, the City did not make its first draw on the loan until 2016. The loan proceeds will
be used to fund various capital projects related to achieving and maintaining compliance with the Safe
Drinking Water Act. The City will be obligated to make semi-annual payments of $139,229 from February 1,
2016 to August 1, 2035. These payments will include a gross interest rate of 2.43% plus a .35% service fee.
On July 26, 2016, the City issued Series 2016-A general obligation internal improvement bonds in the
amounts of $6,570,000. The bonds will be used to finance various capital projects. The City will make the first
payment on the bonds on April 1, 2017 and the last payment on October 1, 2036. The interest rate on the
bonds ranges from 2.00% to 2.50%.
On July 26, 2016, the City issued Series 2016-B general obligation refunding bonds in the amounts of
$13,750,000. The bonds will be used to refund certain maturities of the Series 2006-B, 2007-A, 2008-A, 2009-
A, 2010-A and 2011-A general obligation bonds. The City will make the first payment on the bonds on April 1,
2017 and the last payment on October 1, 2036. The interest rate on the bonds ranges from 2.00% to 2.50%.
On February 2, 2016, the City issued Series 2016-1 temporary notes in the amounts of $6,890,000. The
temporary notes will be used to finance improvements to the Bicentennial Center. The maturity date of the
temporary notes is August 1, 2017 and the interest rate on the notes is 0.65%.
On July 20, 2016, the City issued Series 2016-2 temporary notes in the amounts of $4,615,000. The
temporary notes will be used to finance improvements to the Salina Fieldhouse. The maturity date of the
temporary notes is September 1, 2019 and the interest rate on the notes is 1.00%.

Section II - Financial Statement Findings
Current Year Findings
Material Weaknesses:
Finding 2015-1 - Cash and Bank Reconciliations
Conditions and Criteria:
During our audit of cash balances we noted the following:
a. The City did not prepare individual bank reconciliations for the months of August, 2015 through November, 2015.
b. The City did not complete the bank reconciliation for the month ended December 31, 2015 until May, 2016.
c. The City did not have formal bank reconciliation procedures in place from August, 2015 through the completion of audit fieldwork in May, 2017.
Context:
The City underwent an accounting software conversion in August, 2015 and also experienced significant turnover in key finance department staff
positions during 2015, 2016 and 2017. After the conversion process, the City was unable to properly reconcile cash balances due to problems
encountered with the new software and due to inexperienced personnel attempting to perform the reconciliations.
Effect:
The cash balances for the months of August, 2015 through November, 2015 were inadequately documented and analyzed and the cash balances
at December 31, 2016 were unable to be effectively audited until May, 2017.
Cause:
No procedures were in place to properly reconcile cash balances after the software conversion in August, 2015.
Auditor's Recommendation:
We recommend that the City establish written procedures to document the bank reconciliation process and ensure that bank reconciliations are
prepared timely after each month-end. Additionally, we recommend that the City ensure that there is proper separation of duties with regards to
individuals responsible for handling cash, recording accounting transactions, receiving and opening bank statements, preparing bank
reconciliations and reviewing bank reconciliations.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions:
The City agrees with the recommendation and will work to implement the proposed steps.
Finding 2015-2 - Capital Assets and Construction in Progress
Conditions and Criteria:
During our audit of capital assets and construction in progress we noted the following:
a. During 2015, the City did not properly update their capital asset software for capital assets acquired and disposed of throughout the year.
b. During 2015, the City did not consistently track the status of the various capital projects in progress and did not keep an accurate
accounting of expenditures and open payables related to these projects.
c. At the beginning of audit fieldwork, City staff did not possess appropriate knowledge of the City's asset capitalization policies or asset
management systems.
Context:
The City underwent an accounting software conversion in August, 2015 and also experienced significant turnover in key finance department staff
positions during 2015, 2016 and 2017. During much of this time, the City was unable to keep up with the management of capital asset and
construction in progress reporting.
Effect:
The capital asset and construction in progress balances for 2015 were inadequately documented during much of audit fieldwork. It was not until
June, 2017 that the City as able to complete the accounting for capital assets and construction in progress as of December 31, 2015.
Cause:
No procedures were in place to properly maintain capital asset and construction in progress balances during 2015.
Auditor's Recommendation:
We recommend that the City establish written procedures to document the recording of capital assets in their software and that all capital projects
be continuously tracked and monitored to ensure accurate construction in progress balances. Additionally, we recommend that the City ensure that
there is proper separation of duties with regard to individuals responsible for purchasing, recording and reconciling capital assets and construction
in progress.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions:
The City agrees with the recommendation and will work to implement the proposed steps.

Section II - Financial Statement Findings (Continued)
Current Year Findings (Continued)
Finding 2015-3 - General Accounting Policies & Procedures
Conditions and Criteria:
During our audit, many of the reports requested by the auditors had to be re-run multiple times over the course of the approximately one year time
period it took to complete audit fieldwork. It was necessary to re-run the reports after it was determined that the previous versions contained
inaccurate or incomplete data. Each time a report was re-run, the audit process for that report had to be started over again, which significantly
increased audit time. Reports that were re-run on multiple occasions included detail and summary trial balances, year-end accounts payable
balances, year-end encumbrances balances, capital asset summaries, construction in progress reconciliations and other reports containing
supplemental data.
Context:
The City underwent an accounting software conversion in August, 2015 and also experienced significant turnover in key finance department staff
positions during 2015, 2016 and 2017. During much of this time, the City was attempting to identify errors created in the software conversion and
post journal entries to correct the errors.
Effect:
Accounting reports necessary for the audit were incorrect or incomplete.
Cause:
The City lacked appropriate knowledge of the new accounting system to be able to correctly record transactions and generate reports.
Auditor's Recommendation:
We recommend that the City continue to provide appropriate levels of training for staff using the new accounting software and that the City work to
develop appropriate written accounting policies and procedures that include adequate internal controls.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions:
The City agrees with the recommendation and will work to implement the proposed steps.
Significant Deficiencies:
Finding 2015-4 - Municipal Court Accounts Receivable
Conditions and Criteria:
During our audit of municipal courts accounts receivable balances we noted the following:
a. The City was unable to produce an accounts receivable aging report or accounts receivable subledger that agreed to the municipal courts
accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015 Municipal Court Monthly Report.
b. Per a comparison of the 2015 and 2014 Municipal Court Monthly Reports, the number of municipal court cases filed decreased by
approximately 1% and the amount of cost and fine revenues collected decreased by approximately 7% during 2015.
c. Per a comparison of the 2015 and 2014 Municipal Court Monthly Reports, the number of cases closed decreased by 1% during 2015 and the
number of pending cases at December 31, 2015 was 22% higher than at December 31, 2014.
Context:
The City collects municipal court revenues and tracks municipal court accounts receivable balances. In the year under audit, the City was unable to
provide appropriate documentation and explanations to the auditor to support the case numbers, revenues recorded, accounts receivable
balances.
Effect:
The municipal court revenue and accounts receivable balances were inadequately documented and analyzed.
Cause:
No procedures were in place to produce the appropriate accounts receivable reports or analyze the differences between years of various municipal
court revenue data.
Auditor's Recommendation:
We recommend that the City process and save a detailed accounts receivable aging report at the end of each month that agrees to the Municipal
Court Monthly Report. Additionally, we recommend that the City designate an appropriate individual to review and approve these reports each
month and to closely monitor the number of cases closed and cases pending in order to determine if sufficient progress is being made to close
cases and collect related revenues. Additionally, we recommend the City evaluate its ticket issuance policies to determine if the number of tickets
issued and potential revenues generated by these tickets are in line with the City's projections and budget.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 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 Guide, 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, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 26, 2017. 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.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph 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. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, we identified
certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.
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 entity’s financial statements will
not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiencies described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs to be material weaknesses: Finding 2015-1, Finding 2015-
2, Finding 2015-3.
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. We consider the
deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs to be significant deficiencies:
Finding 2015-4.
92
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 June
26, 2017.
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 THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
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 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, 2015. 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; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards
and the Uniform Guidance 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, 2015.
94
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 the Uniform Guidance, 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 and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exists that were not identified. 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 the Uniform Guidance.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
