To the Citizens of the City of Salina, Kansas:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Salina, Kansas (the "City") for the year ended
December 31, 2020, is hereby submitted. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of
our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner
designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of all various funds and account
groups of the City.We believe that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding
of the City's financial activities have been included.
Report Format
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is presented in three sections: Introductory, Financial and
Statistical.The introductory section includes a description of the City, including services provided, and
explanation of the City’s accounting system and budgetary controls, and a brief discussion of the City’s
economic condition and outlook.The City's organizational chart is also included to assist the reader in
understanding the organizational structure of the City.The financial section includes the Independent
auditor’s report, Management’s discussion & analysis, Government wide financial statements, Fund financial
statements, Notes to the financial statements, and Individual and combining statements and schedules. The
statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-
year basis.
The reader is specifically directed to Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) which immediately
follows the independent auditor’s report.MD&A provides a narrative explanation and overview of significant
features and trends reflected by data in the financial statements.
Accounting Systems and Internal Controls
A critical part of the control system is the City’s comprehensive Budgetary and Financial Policies, which
establish guidelines for budgetary and financial practices.The budgetary procedures are reviewed by the
City Commission each year as a part of the budget process.
City staff is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that
the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and that adequate accounting data is compiled
to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
these objectives are met.The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that:(1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require
estimates and judgment by management.
The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Commission.The legal level of budgetary control is maintained at
the Fund level, in accordance with State Statutes.However, management control is maintained at the
department level.The City uses an encumbrance accounting system, in which estimated purchase amounts
are recorded prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors.Open encumbrances are reported as
reservations of fund balance at December 31, 2020 in the general fund and the special revenue funds.
Various internal compliance procedures are implemented to ensure proper implementation of the budget as
well as to maintain a degree of accountability for both revenues and expenditures.
i
Independent Audit
Kansas Statutes Annotated 75-1122 requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial records and
transactions of all administrative departments of the City by independent certified public accountants
selected by the City Commission.This requirement has been complied with and the auditor's opinion has
been included in this report.
Profile of the Community
The Town of Salina was organized in 1858 under the Town and Village Act in the State of Kansas, and
became a City of the First Class on July 9, 1920.The City has had a Commission-City Manager form of
government since 1921.The Commission is comprised of five members elected at large.Each year the
commission chooses one member to serve as Mayor.The City Manager is appointed by the Commission,
and acts as its primary agent in accordance with state statute.Other city officers and employees are
appointed by the City Manager.The population of the City reported by the 2010 decennial census was
47,707.The City anticipates results of the 2020 decennial census during 3rd quarter 2021.
The reporting entity includes the City of Salina as well as two discretely presented component units, both
proprietary fund types.The Salina Airport Authority operates the Salina Municipal Airport and Airport
Industrial Center, and the Salina Housing Authority administers public housing programs within the City of
Salina.The entity also includes one blended component unit which is the Salina Field House Qualified Active
Low-Income Community Business, Inc. (SFH QalicB). SFH QalicB was created for the purpose of providing
an indoor sports facility in the downtown core of the city of Salina. In addition, the City of Salina participates
in a joint venture with Saline County, the City-County Building Authority for the ownership, operation and
maintenance of the City-County Building. This report includes all funds and account groups of the City.
The City provides a full range of services including police and fire protection, development services,
construction and maintenance of streets, drainage facilities and other infrastructure; recreational activities
and cultural programming; emergency medical services and convention facilities.In addition to general
government activities, the City also provides water, wastewater, sanitation, and solid waste services;
therefore, these activities are included in the reporting entity.
Economic Outlook and Strength
The City benefits from its location at the junction of Interstate Highways 70 and 135.This convenient location
has drawn numerous national and regional companies to open manufacturing or distribution centers in or
adjacent to the community.Such companies include Pepsi-Cola, Exide Technologies, Blue Philips Lighting
Company, ElDorado National, and Schwan’s Global Supply Chain. Manufacturing, retail trade, and service
industries rank as the three primary employers in the City. No single industry is dominant.
The City of Salina retains its position near the top of a list of first class cities with respect to “trade pull
factor.” According to the Kansas Department of Revenue’s Annual City Trade Pull Factor report, Salina had
a pull of factor of 1.48 in 2020. The pull factor measures the degree to which a city or county area captures
retail trade from outside the jurisdiction.A pull factor of greater than 1 indicates that a city is attracting retail
trade beyond the expected activity attributable to just the residents of that community. It is apparent from this
that Salina continues to serve as a regional economic hub in 2020.Two Salina area company’s announced
major expansions in the second half of 2020. Schwan’s Company announced expansion of its pizza
production facility, adding approximately 225 jobs to the Salina area. Kubota announced a new plant for the
production of compact track loaders, adding approximately 120 jobs to the Salina area.
Major Initiatives
In April, 2016, voters elected to replace the .40 cent capital improvement sales tax with a .75 cent capital
improvement sales tax for a term of 20 years. Priorities for the sales tax are improving neighborhood streets
and drainage, preserving stable property tax rates, ensuring a quality park system, constructing and
maintaining community improvements, funding equipment for maintenance, repayment of future bonds for
large projects and attracting quality jobs.
ii
In 2018, the City of Salina issued $22,570,000 in STAR bonds which funded several projects in the City’s
downtown corridor. In 2020 Homewood Suites opened for business and the majority of the City’s Downtown
Streetscape project was completed. Other major projects that were on going included gutter and paving on
North 9th Street,South Well Field improvements, continued improvements to the water distribution system
and preliminary design on the Smoky Hill River Renewal and construction of the Police Training Center
project.
The City continues to address fiduciary pressures generated by a recessionary economy and the more
recent financial impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. General adjustments to the pay plan for cost of living
changes at a rate of 2.0%were implemented in 2020. The City offered no merit increases in 2020.
Capital Improvement Planning
The City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) consists of two components.One component consists of “routine”
capital—including vehicle and equipment replacement, technology replacement, building repair and
improvement, routine pavement maintenance activity, utility system enhancements and similar items.The
amount of funding for these projects may fluctuate based on needs and funding availability, however,
planned amounts are allocated over a multi-year period.Source of funding for routine capital is current cash
resources from the fund appropriate to the nature of the purchase.
The second component of the CIP includes major projects that typically require issuance of bonds or notes,
although these projects may also be supplemented with available cash and grant financing.The plan is
updated each year after an extensive evaluation of the demands on future financial resources.The Capital
Improvement program is scheduled for a major revision as the result of the sales tax to be used for that
purpose.
Increases in 2020 and 2021 are a result of the anticipated beginning of the construction of the Smoky Hill
River Renewal Project, Ninth Street Bridge Construction and Wastewater Treatment Plant respectively. Due
to uncertain Sales Tax recovery post Covid-19, the River Renewal project has been delayed. Few major
projects have been planned for 2022 and 2023 until financial resources for those years could be further
evaluated.
*The year a project is scheduled reflects the year that construction is initiated.Preliminary work (design,
acquisition) may precede this date by one or more years, and permanent financing may not occur until one
(or more years depending on project magnitude) subsequent to this date.
Financial Policies
The City has adopted a formal set of Budgetary and Financial Policies, addressing such items as fund
balances, capital improvements, operating budgets, long term debt management, accounting, auditing and
financial reporting, revenues, cash management and investments. Financial policies contribute to financial
stability by:
1.Providing consistent guidance in decision making
2.Establishing appropriate levels of fund balances
3.Governing the use of one time or unanticipated resources
4.Providing a multi-year capital improvements process
5.Establishing responsibilities and deadlines for budget preparation
6.Providing for a balanced annual operating budget
7.Providing guidelines on the use of debt, including appropriate purposes and terms
8.Provide a linkage between capital improvement scheduling and long term debt management
planning
9.Require annual audits and financial reporting in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Procedures
10.Require timely and regular interim financial reporting to the Governing body
11.Ensure the safety of cash and near cash resources (timely collection of Accounts Receivable,
etc.).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Mayor and City Commissioners
City of Salina, Kansas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the City of Salina, Kansas, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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 of America,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 Field House Qualified Active Low-Income
Community Business, Inc. (SFH QalicB), which is included within the financial statements as a major governmental
fund. This activity represents 3% and 1%, respectively, of the total assets and total revenues of the governmental
funds. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for SFH QalicB, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors. We also did not audit the financial statements of the Salina Airport Authority which statements reflect total
assets and deferred outflows of resources of $46,156,436 as of December 31, 2020 and total revenues of 2,652,346
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 $7,540,021 as of June 30, 2020 and total revenues of $2,957,322 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, 2020, 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
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities
that reclassified ten of the City’s funds that had been previously classified as agency funds. As a result of that
implementation, certain fund balances as of January 1, 2020, were restated. Our opinion is not modified with respect
to this matter.
Prior Period Restatement
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, certain errors in amounts previously reported as of December 31,
2019, were discovered by management of the City during the current year. Accordingly, these amounts have been
restated in the December 31, 2020, financial statements now presented, and adjustments have been made to net
position to correct the error. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion
and analysis on pages 4 through 15, the other postemployment benefit schedules on page 71 and 72, the schedule
of the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability on page 73, and the schedule of City contributions on page
73 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 financial statements as a whole. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules, and statistical tables as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of
federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements of Federal Awards, and is
also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management
and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying account and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
3
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 23, 2021, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions, of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. 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 effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in compliance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2020
Management Discussion and Analysis
This section of the report contains an overview and analysis of the City of Salina’s financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020. The information contained here, as well as the information contained in the letter of
transmittal, are intended to provide the reader of the financial statements with a well-rounded picture of the City’s
financial condition.
Financial Highlights
On an accrual basis, the City’s government-wide net position increased $2.6 million from current operations
with net position change of $5.7 million and $(3.1)million in governmental activities and business-type
activities, respectively.
At the close of 2020, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $31.3
million, an increase of $15.5 million from the prior year. The Capital Projects expenditures decreased $3.6
million from prior year. The General Fund balance, Sales Tax Capital Fund balance and Other Governmental
Funds increased $5.8 million, $2.8 million and 2.3 million, respectively, over the prior year.
At the close of 2020, the City’s enterprise funds reported a combined ending Net Position of $96.6 million, an
increase of $3.0 million over prior year. Positive performance was shared by the Water and Sewer Fund,the
Sanitation Fund,Solid Waste Disposal and the Golf Fund.
Revenues from governmental activities increased by $6.6 million from the prior year and revenues from
business type activities decreased $1.3 million from the prior year. Other miscellaneous revenue increased
$6.8 million due to fund transfers and bond proceeds.
Revenues from investments continue to be minimal due to low interest rates.
The Basic Financial Statements
The basic financial statements of the City include the government-wide financial statements and the fund financial
statements. The notes to the financial statements follow the basic financial statements and are essential for the
reader’s understanding of the financial statements. Other supplementary information, including the combining
schedules for non-major funds and the budgetary comparison reports, are at the end of this report to provide
additional information for the reader.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements present the results of the City’s operations using the accrual basis of
accounting, the same basis as is used by private sector businesses. These statements focus on the long-term
financial picture of the City as a whole.
The Statement of Net Position reports all of the City’s assets and liabilities. Net position, the difference between
assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities, are an important measure of the City’s overall financial
health. Net position represents the total accumulated and unused resources available to the City for the purpose of
providing services. Over time, the increases and decreases in net position can be monitored to determine if the
City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities shows how net position has changed during the fiscal year. One unique feature of this
statement is how it shows the revenues and expenses related to specific programs and how much of those programs
were supported by the general taxes of the City. Since this statement is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting,
all revenues and expenses are included, regardless of when cash is actually received. Both statements show the
operations of the City broken down between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities are
the operations of the City generally supported by taxes, such as public safety (police,fire, and EMS), public works,

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

Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and the notes described above, this report also presents the general fund
and major special revenue fund’s budgetary statements as required supplementary information directly following the
notes to the basic financial statements. The combining statements for the non-major funds are shown after the
required supplementary information. Finally, the statistical section includes selected statistical data about the City’s
operations and economy.
The City as a Whole
This section will identify, discuss, and analyze significant differences and trends that will enhance the reader’s
understanding of the City’s financial position.
Tax Base and Economy
The City of Salina relies on three major groups of revenues to support its operations. Each of these revenue streams
has a different revenue base. In declining order of magnitude, they are charges for services, sales taxes, and
property taxes. Sales taxes and property taxes apply primarily to governmental activities, while charges for services
apply to both governmental (20%) and business-type (80%) activities.
Charges for services account for about 37% ($34.9 million) of the City’s revenue stream. Charges for service
depend on both the rate that is set for the activity, as well as the volume of services provided. Significant services
include water and wastewater fees, sanitation and landfill fees, licenses and permits, inspection fees and golf course
fees.Charges for services decreased slightly in 2020, largely due to the 2020 COVID pandemic as most services
were paused temporarily. This was offset by lower expenses.
Sales taxes are the next largest component of the revenue mix, providing 25%($23.4 million) of the total revenues.
The City receives a 1.25% City-wide sales tax, and also a portion of the County-wide 1.5% sales tax. Forty-four
percent, (a rate of .75%)of the City-wide sales tax is required to be used for special purposes. The remaining .5%,
along with the City portion of the County-wide tax is available for general purposes.
The City is affected by the formula used to distribute the County-wide sales tax among participating jurisdictions (only
Cities and the County participate, School and other special districts do not). The formula is based, in part, on the
property tax efforts of each jurisdiction. As the portion of the overlapping levy attributable to the City of Salina
changes so does the City’s allocated portion of the County-wide sales tax. This change is recognized bi-annually
and can affect the overall allocation of the City’s portion of the County-wide sales tax. In 2020, this allocation
decreased slightly which did not have a significant impact on the tax revenues.
In 2008, Salina voters approved an increase of the special purpose .25% tax to a .40% tax. The extended tax is to
sunset March 31, 2019. The tax was also modestly re-purposed, for Capital and Economic Development purposes
only, as well as retaining a property tax stabilization component.In May 2017, Salina voters approved an increase in
the special purpose .40% tax to a .75% tax (thus repealing the 2008 increase). This change became effective
October 1, 2017 for twenty years.
Property taxes are the third major component of the revenue mix, accounting for 16%($14.9 million) of total
revenues. Property taxes consist of two components: Real estate and personal property taxes which are
determined by the mill levy set by the city and the assessed value of the property; and motor vehicle taxes which are
established by a countywide average tax rate and the assessed value of the vehicle.
Real estate assessed value increased by 4.1%. The total City mill levy increased by 8.7%. The overlapping levy
increased in 2019 by 0.8%.
Personal property value continued to slide, presumably as a result of removing business equipment from the tax
base. Personal property value has now dropped to $11.2 million from its peak of $39.7 million in 2007.

Motor vehicle value increased 2.5%. Motor vehicle taxes are distributed based on a formula using prior year’s tax
effort (similar to the Countywide Sales Tax Distribution).

The unemployment rate in Salina increased slightly from 3.1% at the end of 2019 to 3.5% at the end of 2020,
reflecting general economic conditions. This is still slightly below the statewide and significantly below the national
unemployment rate. The total labor force decreased to 25,446 from 25,643 in 2019.
In 2020, the top ten property taxpayers accounted for 10.00%of total assessed value.
Statement of Net Position
Net position may, over time, provide an indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City of
Salina, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities by $234.4 million at December 31, 2020. This
represents an increase in net assets of $2.6 million over 2019. A comparative Condensed Statement of Net Position

Condensed Statement of Net Position
As of December 31
(in $000)
The largest segment of the City’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (land, buildings, streets and
drainage facilities, utility plant, vehicles, equipment, etc.), less any debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to citizens. As a result, resources required to retire related
debt cannot come from liquidation of the asset. Such resources generally must be provided from other sources, such
as future taxes or user charges.
A small portion of net position is restricted for debt service and permanent funds. The remainder (unrestricted) of net
position may be used to meet the City’s obligations to citizens and creditors.
CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2020
In 2020, the amount of net investment in capital assets decreased by $8.9 million. Amount restricted for debt service
increased by $726 thousand. Unrestricted increased by $10.7 million. Outside of these changes, 2020 resulted in a
$2.6 million increase to the net position.
Total liabilities increased in governmental activities and slightly decreased in business-type activities.In
governmental activities,current liabilities increased and non-current liabilities decreased primarily due to an increase
in temporary notes and a decrease in general obligation bonds.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2020
Governmental Activities. Charges for services attributable to governmental activities totaled $8.4 million,as operating
grants for those purposes were $4.7 million.Charges for services decreased and operating grants increased slightly
from the prior year due to the 2020 COVID pandemic as most services were paused temporarily.The balance was
funded by general revenues. Sales taxes accounted for $23.4 million of general revenues, with property taxes
providing $14.9 million. The net position increased by $5.7 million as a result of governmental activities. This
increase was primarily related to the increase in sales and other taxes.
Total expenses for governmental activities for the year ending December 31, 2020 were $56.3 million compared to
$59.5 million in 2020. Governmental activities represent 75%of the City’s total expenses. The largest element of
governmental activity expense was public safety, accounting for 33% of the total expenses.
Business Type Activities. Business-type activities are primarily supported by user charges. Total expenses for
business-type activities for the year were $18.8 million, or 25% of the City’s total expenses. The majority of this
expense ($13.4 million)is attributable to water and sewer operations, with the other activities costing a combined
total of $5.4 million. Net position increased by $3.1 million.This increase was primarily related to an overall decrease
in business-type activity expenses due to the 2020 COVID pandemic.

Total governmental fund balances increased by $15.5 million. The reasons for these changes are varied, including
lower expenses during the 2020 COVID pandemic. The Schilling Capital Improvement Fund, which was created to
account for U.S. Government and other funds received for the abatement of groundwater contamination, continues to
decrease as the City uses funds previously distributed. The Capital Projects Fund decrease was largely the result of
the use of funds to fund capital outlays on projects. The SFH QalicB fund was created to account for funds for the
Salina Field House.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2020
Budgetary Highlights
The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Commission. The legal level of budgetary control is maintained at the fund
level, in accordance with State Statutes. Management control is maintained at the departmental level. Within the
departments, considerable discretion is permitted. The City uses an encumbrance accounting system, in which
estimated purchase orders are recorded prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors. Open purchase orders
are reported as reservations of budgetary basis fund balances at December 31, 2020. Formal budgetary
amendments are limited to those circumstances in which the need is perceived to alter the total fund budget. Re-
allocation among departments or line items are not typically recorded as budgetary amendments.
However, in addition to formal amendments, departments within the City are allowed to transfer budget between line
items within a department. Budgets may also be transferred from department to department within each fund. As a
result of these transfers, the original budget and the final budgets may not be the same for departments within a
fund.

Total Net Change In Fund Balances - Governmental Funds 14,887,249$
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 [34,933]
Capital outlays 9,188,324
Depreciation expense [5,881,296] 3,272,095
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.16,584
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 funds are reported with governmental activities.983,576
Certain intrafund transactions have been eliminated between the City's
primary funds and the QALICB blended component unit.[712,617]
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.168,922
Pension payments are reported as expenditures in the governmental funds and
do not affect the statement of net activities.[1,817,189]
Bond, temporary note, loan 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.[8,982,222]
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.7,209,763

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 (see note below for descriptions)to emphasize that
it is legally separated from the government.The blended component unit is reported as a governmental fund
of the City (see note below for description) to emphasize that it is a part of the City.
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. O ne 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. T he
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, 2020.
Blended Component Unit
Salina Field House Qualified Active Low-Income Community Business, Inc.(SFH QalicB)-SFH QalicB was
created to function as a qualified low-income community business, as defined in Section 45D(d)(2) of the

tournaments with the anticipation of becoming a regional destination for youth athletics. This mix of
participation is expected to provide the most consistent visitation and tourism for the downtown district. The
SFH QalicB is managed and controlled by a five-member Board of Directors appointed by the Salina City
Commission. The field house is staffed by City of Salina employees. SFH QalicB has a December 31 fiscal
year end.SFH QalicB is a not-for-profit organization exempt from income tax under Section 50l(c)(3)of the

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. L ikewise, 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. N onmajor 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. G rants and similar items are recognized
as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
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.
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.
The fiduciary funds are used by the City to accounts for resources held by the City for the benefit of a third part.
Because the resources of these funds are not available for the City’s operations, they are not presented in the
government-wide financial statements. The City’s lone fiduciary fund is reported as a custodial fund.
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 58% of the 1.25 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.

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 2021. 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.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Assets, Liabilities, Fund Balance and Net Position (Continued)
2.Receivables and Payables (Continued)
The determination of assessed valuations and the collection of property taxes for all political subdivisions in
the State of Kansas are the responsibility of the various counties. The County Appraiser annually determines
assessed valuations on January 1 and the County Clerk spreads the annual assessment on the tax rolls. The
County Treasurer is the tax collection agent for all taxing entities within the County. In accordance with state
statutes, property taxes levied during the current year are a revenue source to be used to finance the budget
of the ensuing year. Property taxes are levied and liens against property are placed on November 1 of the
year prior to the fiscal year for which they are budgeted. P ayments 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. I nterest 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.

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:

December 31, 2020
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, changes in the pension and OPEB plan liability proportion and
assumptions, net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan and OPEB plan
investments and differences between pension and OPEB plan liability expected and actual experience are
reported 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, differences between expected and actual experience, changes in assumptions, and
changes in the pension liability and OPEB plan proportion are reported as deferred inflows. 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.

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 2020 budget was amended for the Business
Improvement District, Bicentennial Center and Sanitation funds.
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, the SFH QalicB fund, non-major debt service
funds, trust funds, permanent funds, and the following special revenue funds: Community Development
Revolving, Downtown TIF District #1, South 9th CID,Downtown CID, Alley CID, Downtown Hotel CID,STAR
Bonds Subprojects, State Grants, 911 Communications, Kenwood Cove Capital, Special Law Enforcement,
Police Grants, Federal Grants, DARE Donations,War Memorial Maintenance, Federal CARE Grant, Police
Department Federal Forfeiture,Homeowners’ Assistance, Private Grants, Animal Shelter Donations, Special
Assessments Escrow, Court Bond and Restitution, Police Investigation Account, Citizenship, DTF Local, DTF
Reserve, Beechcraft Remediation Settlement and Bail Bond Escrow funds. A legal operating budget is not
required for Internal Service Funds, however, 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.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, 2020, the statutory limit for the City was $152,746,389, providing a debt margin of
$86,997,826.

Note 3. RESTATEMENT OF EQUITY
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities.
The principal objective of this Statement is to enhance the consistency and comparability of fiduciary activity
reporting by state and local governments. This Statement is also intended to improve the usefulness of
fiduciary activity information primarily for assessing the accountability of governments in their roles as
fiduciaries. As a result of the implementation, ten of the City’s fiduciary funds combined with the General Fund
or were reclassified as special revenue funds and their fund balances as of January 1, 2019, were restated.
Also during the year ended December 31, 2020, management discovered certain errors that occurred in the
prior year.
The effects of these items caused a restatement to net position or fund balance as follows:

Note 4. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A.Deposits and Investments
The City’s cash is considered to be active funds by management and is invested according to KSA 9-1401.
The statute requires that banks eligible to hold active funds have a main or branch bank in the county in which
the City is located or in a c ounty 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.
At December 31, 2020, the City has the following investments:

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued)
A.Deposits and Investments (Continued)
The municipal investment pool is under the oversight of the Pooled Money Investment Board. The board is
comprised of the State Treasurer and four additional members appointed by the State Governor. The board
reports annually to the Kansas legislature. State pooled monies may be invested in direct obligations of, or
obligations that are insured as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or any agency thereof, with
maturities up to four years. No more than 10 percent of those funds may be invested in mortgage-backed
securities. In addition, the State pool may invest in repurchase agreements with Kansas banks or with primary
government securities dealers.
The City’s investment policy provides direction on concentration risk. The City policy states that funds shall be
diversified to reduce the extent of losses due to having an unbalanced portfolio in terms of maturities,
instrument type, and issuers. Therefore, portfolio maturities shall be staggered to avoid undue concentration
of assets in a specific maturity sector. Liquidity, free of market risk, shall be assured through practices insuring
that the next disbursement date and payroll date are covered through maturing investments, marketable U.S.
Treasury Bills, the Municipal Investment Pool, or money market accounts.
Default risk shall be minimized by requiring that all security purchases occur on a delivery vs. payment basis,
and that all securities are adequately collateralized.
Risk of market price volatility shall be controlled through the adoption of a "buy and hold" strategy whereby the
City holds each investment to maturity, coupled with maintenance of an adequate liquidity position to insure
the ability to meet normal anticipated cash flow needs.
When advantageous, it is allowable to sell investments to realize a gain due to price fluctuations; however,
such transactions shall not be a part of the normal course of business.
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various
technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio diversification is employed as a way to control
risk due to issuer default. In the event of a default by a specific issuer, the Director of Finance and
Administration shall review, and, if appropriate, proceed to liquidate securities having comparable credit risks.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it.
The City’s deposit policy for custodial credit risk require that the depository banks will maintain 100% security
in the form of FDIC coverage and pledged collateral according to KSA 9-1402. As of December 31, 2020 the
City’s deposits were considered fully secured.
Restricted cash is comprised of a construction account, an interest reserve account (the "Interest Reserve"),
and an expense reserve account (the "Operating Reserve") related to the SFH QalicB blended component
unit. The Interest Reserve and the Operating Reserve accounts are available as part of the loans payable
financing (see Note 4E). As of December 31, 2020, the balance of the construction account, Interest
Reserve, and Operating Reserve was $0, $208,864, and $126,633, respectively.

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.
Premises lease.On July 27, 2016, SFH QalicB entered into a lease agreement with the City for the use of
the Salina Field House, as defined in the Net Lease agreement (the "Property"), under a direct financing
lease. The lease term is 30 years, as defined in the Net Lease agreement. Beginning on July 1, 2017 and on
the first day of each December thereafter through December 1, 2046, annual payments are due, in advance,
as specified in the Net Lease agreement.

Sales tax and Revenue (STAR) Bonds.STAR Bonds are authorized to be issued pursuant to K.S.A. 12-17, 160,
et seq., as amended (the STAR Bond Act). T he STAR Bond Act provides a form of tax increment financing that
enables the issuance of bonds payable from certain State and local sales and compensating use tax revenues
and transient guest tax revenues generated from STAR bond projects constructed within a STAR bond project
district. To implement STAR bond financing, a local government must adopt a resolution that specifies a
proposed STAR bond project district’s boundary and describes the overall district plan, hold a public hearing on
the district and plan, and pass a resolution that establishes the STAR bond project district. Additionally, there
may be one or more projects within a STAR bond district.
In accordance with the STAR Bond Act, the City has no liability for payment of bonds in the event that revenues
received from sources noted above are inadequate to pay the debt incurred with the issuance of the STAR
bonds.

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:
o State/School employees
o 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.

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 1.2% of total payroll for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
The actuarially determined employer contribution rates (not including the 1.00% contribution rate for the
Death and Disability Program) and the statutory contribution rate was 8.61% for KPERS and 21.93% for
KP&F for the year ended December 31, 2020. Member contribution rates as a percentage of eligible
compensation for the fiscal year 2020 are 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, 2020,
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, 2020.
The contributions used exclude contributions made for prior service, excess benefits and irregular payments.
At June 30, 2020, the City’s proportion for the Local employees group was 0.767%, which was a decrease
of .003% from its proportion measured at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the City’s proportion for the
Police and Firemen group was 2.038%, which was a decrease of .036% from its proportion measured at
June 30, 2019.
Net Pension Liability. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the City and its component units reported a liability
of $39,533,871 and $32,116,932, respectively, for its total proportionate share of the net pension liability for
the Local and Police and Firemen groups.

A. Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Continued)
Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December
31, 2019, which was rolled forward to June 30, 2020, using the following actuarial assumptions:
Assumptions Rat e
Price inflation 2.75%
Wage inflation 3.25%
Salary increas es , including wage increas es 3.25% to 11.75% including infl at ion
Long-t erm rat e of ret urn, net of inve stment expens e, and
including pri ce infl at ion 7.50%
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Mortality Tables, with age setbacks and age set forwards as well
as other adjustments based on different membership groups. Future mortality improvements are anticipated
using Scale MP-2016.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2019 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study conducted for the period of January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2018. The
experience study is dated January 7, 2020.
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, 2020 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expec ted
Asset Long-Term Allocation Real Rate of Ret urn
US Equities 23.50%5.20%
Non-US Equities 23.50%6.40%
Privat e Equity 8.00%9.50%
Privat e Real Estate 11.00%4.45%
Yield Drive n 8.00%4.70%
Real Ret urn 11.00%3.25%
Fixed Inc ome 11.00%1.55%
Short Term Inves tments 4.00%0.25%
100.00%
Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%. 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. T he 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, $183,446
is considered to be due within one year.

The City established a limited risk management program for employee health and dental insurance in 1997.
The program covers eligible City employees. Premiums are paid into the health insurance fund by all other
funds and are available to pay claims, claim reserves and administrative costs of the program. An excess
coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $50,000. Incurred claims, including incurred
but not reported claims, have been accrued based primarily upon subsequent payments. Claim liabilities are
calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amounts
of payouts and other economic and social factors. The liability for claims and judgments is reported in the
Health Insurance Fund because it is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Therefore, all of the liability is considered to be due within one year. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities
during the past two years are as follows:
2020 2019

E.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, 2020.
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.
F. 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 $2,300,353 reported as landfill closure and postclosure care liability at December 31, 2020,represents the
cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 28.8% of the estimated capacity of the landfill.

Note 5. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)
F. Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (Continued)
The City's solid waste fund will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and postclosure care of
$5,680,356 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled over the remaining life expectancy of 147 years.
These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 2020. 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.
G.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.
Since 2010, the City has been involved with civil litigation concerning environmental contamination in certain
areas in the vicinity of the Salina Regional Airport and the Salina Airport Industrial Center. The contamination
was caused by military activity that occurred between 1942 and 1966 when the site was operated as the
Schilling Air Force Base. The City, the Salina Airport Authority, Unified School District No. 305 and Kansas
State University (the “Salina Public Entities”) sued the United States seeking federal funds to clean up the
contamination. A remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) were completed in 2019 to determine the
extent and severity of the contamination and to determine the best method of remediation. B ased on the RI/FS,
the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued a Corrective Action Decision (CAD) on July
29, 2019. The Salina Public Entities and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reached a settlement of the
litigation ultimately documented in the form of a Consent Decree filed in U.S. District Court on November 23,
2020. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Salina Public Entities assumed responsibility for the Response
Action in the CAD in exchange for a $69.5 million lump sum payment by the United States to the Salina Public
Entities. The settlement payment was not received by the City or the Salina Public Entities as of December
31, 2020. 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.Other Postemployment Healthcare Benefits
Plan Description. The City offers postemployment health insurance to retirement employees. The benefits are
provided through a single employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan administered by the City.
The Employee Benefit Plan (the Plan) provides medical and dental benefits to eligible early retirees and their
spouses. KSA 12-5040 requires all local governmental entities in the state that provide a group health care plan
to make participation available to all retirees and dependents until the retiree reaches the age of 65 years. No
separate financial report is issued for the Plan.
Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of plan participants and the City are established and amended
by the City. The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. In 2020,
the City did not contribute to the plan.
At December 31, 2020, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Active employ ees 440
Ret irees and cove red spous es 29
Total 469
The total OPEB liability of $3,615,054 was measured as of December 31, 2019 and was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date.
The total OPEB liability in the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Valuat ion dat e Dec ember 31, 2019

The discount rate was based on an index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds
with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher.
Mortality rates were based on the RP 2014 Mortality Tables, with age set forwards as well as other
adjustments based on different membership groups. Future mortality improvements are anticipated using
Scale MP-2017.

J.Other Postemployment Benefits (KPERS)
Plan Description. The City participates in a multiple-employer defined benefit other postemployment benefit
(OPEB) plan (the Plan) which is administered by KPERS. The Plan provides long-term disability benefits and
a life insurance benefit for disabled members to KPERS members, as provided by K.S.A. 74-04927. The Plan
is administered through a trust held by KPERS that is funded to pay annual benefit payments. However, because
the trust’s assets are used to pay employee benefits other than OPEB, the trust does not meet the criteria in
paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No.75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits
Other Than Pensions. Accordingly, the Plan is considered to be administered on a pay-as-you-go basis.

J.Other Postemployment Benefits (KPERS) (Continued)
Benefits. Benefits are established by statute and may be amended by the KPERS Board of Trustees. The Plan
provides long-term disability benefits equal to 60 percent (prior to January 1, 2006, 66 2/3 percent) of annual
compensation, offset by other benefits. Members receiving long-term disability benefits also receive credit
towards their KPERS retirement benefits and have their group life insurance coverage continued under the
waiver of premium provision.
The monthly long-term disability benefit is 60 percent of the member’s monthly compensation, with a minimum
of $100 and a maximum of $5,000. The monthly benefit is subject to reduction by deductible sources of income,
which include Social Security primary disability or retirement benefits, workers compensation benefits, other
disability benefits from any other sources by reason of employment, and earnings from any form of
employment. If the disability begins before age 60, benefits are payable while the disability continues until the
member’s 65th birthday or retirement date, whichever occurs first. If the disability begins after age 60, benefits
are payable while the disability continues, for a period of five years or until the member retires, whichever occurs
first. Benefit payments for disabilities caused or contributed to by substance abuse or non-biologically based
mental illnesses are limited to the shorter of the term of the disability or 24 months per lifetime.
The death benefit paid to beneficiaries of disabled members is 150% of the greater of 1) the member’s annual
rate of compensation at the time of disability, or 2) the members previous 12 months of compensation at the
time of the last date on payroll. If the member has been disabled for five or more years, the annual
compensation or salary rate at the time of death will be indexed using the consumer price index, less one
percentage point, to compute the death benefit. If a member is diagnosed as terminally ill with a life expectancy
of 12 months or less, the member may be eligible to receive up to 100% of the death benefit rather than having
the benefit paid to the beneficiary. If a member retires or disability benefits end, the member may convert the
group life insurance coverage to an individual insurance policy.
Employees covered by benefit terms. At June 30, 2020, the valuation date, the following employees were
covered by the benefit terms:

as other adjustments based on different membership groups. Future mortality improvements are anticipated
using Scale MP-2019. The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2019, valuation were based on
the results of an actuarial experience study for the period of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018.

K.Tax Abatements
In 2020, the City of Salina participated in real property tax abatements for five local companies. Property tax
abatements are authorized under Kansas state statutes K.S.A. 12-1740 et seq. and K.S.A. 79-201a and subject
to City policy.
The City provides property tax abatements to encourage existing industry to expand, assist new business start-
ups, recruit new companies from out-of-state or internationally, encourage high technology and research based
businesses, encourage training and development of Salina area employees, and encourage location and
retention of businesses which are good "corporate citizens" that will add to the quality of life in the community
through leadership and support of civic and philanthropic organizations. Property tax abatements reduce ad
valorem property taxes. T he percentage of reduction ranges from 40.5% to 100%, but in all cases, the maximum
duration is for ten years as per state statute. To receive an abatement, applicants must submit an application,
which undergoes due diligence and analysis before being considered by the City Commission. I f the abatement
is authorized, the applicant must sign a performance agreement that specifies annual compliance measures.
Each year, the applicant submits a renewal application, along with compliance information, which is reviewed
by City staff for conformance with agreement provisions. If compliance is not met, appeals can be made to the
City Commission to determine the amount of incentives, if any, to be received by the property owner. The City
of Salina negotiates property tax abatements on an individual basis.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF).TIFs are an economic development tool established by the Kansas TIF Act
(K.S.A. 12-1770 et seq.) and subject to City policy to aid in financing projects for substantial public benefit.
Public benefits can include creating jobs or retaining existing employment, eliminating blight, strengthening the
employment and economic base of the City, increasing property values and tax revenues, reducing poverty,
creating economic stability, upgrading older neighborhoods, facilitating economic self-sufficiency, promoting
projects that are of community wide importance, or implementing the economic development goals of the City.
The program works by reimbursing a portion of the incremental increase in property taxes resulting from
improvements and a portion of local sales tax generated within the district to the property owner. The base
value, or what the property was valued at prior to improvements, is shielded from the rebate.
To receive a TIF, applicants must submit a detailed, written proposal to the City, which will undergo due diligence
and analysis before being considered by the City Commission. The City Commission then determines if it will
commence the statutory process to create a redevelopment district.
If the TIF district is authorized, the City and applicant will enter into an agreement that specifies performance,
certification, and reimbursement requirements. City Staff will work with the property owner to certify eligible
expenses and compliance with agreement provisions. O nce the project begins to generate TIF revenues (sales
tax and/or property tax), City staff works with the distributing agency and property owner to generate and track
reimbursements. Because reimbursements are not paid until after improvements are put in place, agreement
compliance is met, eligible expenses are certified, and sales and/or property tax distributions are made to the
City, there are no provisions for recapturing taxes. The City of Salina negotiates TIFs on an individual basis.

initially by the developer and are reimbursed annually via a two percent (2%) transportation district sales tax on
retail or taxable services occurring within the district.

To establish a CID, the applicant first submits a CID petition which is signed by the owners of all of the land
within the proposed district. The City Commission then considers the request to establish a CID.
If the CID is authorized, the City and applicant will enter into an agreement that specifies performance,
certification, and reimbursement requirements. City Staff will work with the property owner to certify eligible
expenses and compliance with agreement provisions. Once the project begins to generate CID revenues, City
Staff works with the distributing agency and property owner to make and track reimbursements. Because
reimbursements are not paid until after improvements are put in place, agreement compliance is met, eligible
expenses are certified, and CID sales tax distributions are made to the City, there are no provisions for
recapturing taxes. The City of Salina negotiates CIDs on an individual basis.

Neighborhood Revitalization Areas (NRA).NRAs are authorized under Kansas state statutes K.S.A. 12-117 and

improvements back to the property owner. The base value, or what the property was valued at prior to
improvements, is shielded from the rebate. Participation in the program and percentage of rebate and duration
are determined separately by the City, County, and School District. The current City of Salina adopted plan is
a 4-year plan running from 2015-2019. It allows for a 10-year rebate and provides rebates from 25% to 100%
depending on year in plan and type of improvement. To receive an NRA, taxpayers must submit an application,
which undergoes due diligence and analysis before being approved by the City. If the NRA is approved, each
year, the applicant must submit proof that property taxes have been paid in full. Because the rebate is not given
until after improvements are put in place and property taxes paid, there are no provisions for recapturing taxes.
The City of Salina approves NRAs on an individual basis.

On April 12,2021, the City issued Series 2021-A general obligation internal improvement bonds in the amounts
of $5,230,000. Proceeds from the bonds will be used to provide long-term financing for a portion of the costs
of certain public improvements within the City and to retire a portion of the City’s outstanding general obligation
temporary notes. The City will make the first payment on the bonds on October 1, 2022 the last payment on
October 1, 2041. The interest rate on the bonds ranges from 2.00% to 4.50%.
Also on April 12, 2021, the City issued Series 2021-1 temporary notes in the amounts of $5,230,000. Proceeds
from the notes will be used to provide interim construction financing of certain public improvements within the
City. The maturity date of the temporary notes is May 1, 2022 and the interest rate on the notes is 2.00%.
On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus outbreak as a “Public Health
Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions were
taken to help mitigate the spread of the virus, including social-distancing, quarantines and forced closures of
certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it
have had and are expected to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many
countries, including the geographical area in which the City operates. It is unknown how long the adverse
conditions associated with the pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the City.
Management cannot quantify the financial and other impacts to the City’s financial position but believes a
material impact is reasonably possible.

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 and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States,the financial statements of the government 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, 2020, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report
thereon dated July 23,2021.
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) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal controls exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charge with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting 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 financial reporting
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
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 financial statements.
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.
127
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 FEDERAL 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 the City’s major
federal program for the year ended December 31, 2020. The City’s major federal financial program is 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 federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its
federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for the City’s major federal program 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 State 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 (CFR) 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 the 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 its major federal program for the year ended December 31,
2020.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
The 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 the major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for the 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.
129
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 charged 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 the internal control over compliance that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not
been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
