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.
3
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.

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.

Salina, KS
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.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Sanitation fund - To account for the operations of the City's refuse collection service.
Solid waste disposal fund - To account for the activities of the City's landfill.
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.

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:

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.

CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2015
1. Organization
The City of Salina, Kansas (the City), is the recipient of several federal awards. All federal awards received
directly from federal agencies as well as those awards that are passed through other government agencies,
are included on the schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of the City,
and is presented on the Kansas regulatory basis of accounting which includes cash disbursements, accounts
payable and encumbrances. The information presented in this schedule is in accordance with the
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Therefore, some amounts
presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of the basic
financial statements. The City elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate.
3. Local Government Contributions
Local cost sharing is required by certain federal grants. The amount of cost sharing varies with each program.
Only the federal share of expenditures is presented in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
4. Additional Audits
Grantor agencies reserve the right to conduct additional audits of the City’s grant programs for economy and
efficiency and program results that may result in disallowed costs to the City. However, management does not
believe such audits would result in any disallowed costs that would be material to the City’s financial position at
December 31, 2015.
5. Outstanding Loans
The City did not have any outstanding loans under any federal grants at December 31, 2015.

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.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions:
The City agrees with the recommendation and will work to implement the proposed steps.

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.

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.

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.
