Honorable Mayor and Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
We are pleased to submit Paducah's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City.
The major objective of this report is to describe the City’s financial condition and the financial results of its
operation in a format designed to be useful to the general public, elected officials, investors and creditors. We
believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that it is reported in a manner designed to
present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds. All disclosures necessary to
enable the reader to gain maximum understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included.
City management’s narrative on the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, is in
the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section of this report, immediately following the Report
of Independent Auditors. The letter of transmittal is written to complement the MD&A and the financial
statements, and should be read from that perspective and in conjunction with all other sections of the CAFR.
THE CITY
Paducah was established in 1827 by explorer General William Clark. The City of Paducah is situated at the
confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers in the north central portion of McCracken County. Paducah is
the largest city both in the county and in the Jackson Purchase eight-county region. The City has established
itself as the cultural, economic, medical and transportation center for not only the Jackson Purchase region but
for a large portion of Southern Illinois and portions of Western Tennessee and Southeastern Missouri.
Industry
The Paducah area has moved from the traditional “manufacturing industry” to a “service industry” economy.
Multi-state computer services, significant banking corporations, wholesale and retail trade, river-related
services, the health care industry and related services are the major employment centers. Traditional
manufacturing employment is heavily concentrated in the categories of chemicals, petroleum, coal and rubber,
and enriched uranium.
Economic Development Activities
The Greater Paducah Economic Development Council (GPEDC) coordinates the City’s efforts in
strengthening and building economic development activities. Representatives of financial institutions, utilities,
local government, education and the business community serve as the Board of Directors. In existence since
1987, GPEDC assumes and carries out the responsibility of working with existing industry and business, as
well as identifying and recruiting new companies to the City of Paducah. Additionally, GPEDC is responsible
for development of long-term strategy for economic development activities and coordinates local entities in the
accomplishment of those strategies.
In the early 1990s, the City of Paducah, the State of Kentucky and several federal agencies, in conjunction with
business, developed a 650-acre ‘Information Age’ Park. This park is designed to appeal to firms needing
advanced telecommunications and computing capabilities. The Info Park’s focal point was centered on the
Resource Center, which was designed to coordinate resources of government, business and education.
In 1997, the City of Paducah jointly with the County of McCracken acquired the ‘Industrial Park West of
Paducah and McCracken County’. This park contains 218 acres with immediate access to two major railroad
lines, Paducah and Louisville and Paducah and Illinois (formerly Illinois Central). The park is located within
the southwest quadrant of the I-24/Cairo Road interchange.
In 2007, GPEDC began assembling property to establish Riverport West, a 1,000-acre industrial park with rail
and river access in western McCracken County.
In FY2009, as the following table indicates, there were 483 jobs created and retained, and $4 million capital
invested not to mention the added fiscal impact from the jobs created and capital invested. Additionally,
numerous other retail shops opened, creating several dozen more service industry jobs, further strengthening
Paducah’s retail market.

Churches And Schools
A relatively strong religious base is evident in the community, as demonstrated by the many churches in
Paducah. Numerous churches, representing many of the major denominations, are located within the City.
Several area churches offer televised activities as a convenience to those who do not attend church.
Elementary and secondary education in Paducah is provided by the Paducah Independent School System, the
McCracken County School System, Community Christian Academy, and by the St. Mary’s Parochial School
System. Higher education is available locally from West Kentucky Community and Technical College
(WKCTC), formerly known as Paducah Community College, a two-year institution affiliated with the
University of Kentucky’s community college system. WKCTC also serves as a site for the University of
Kentucky extended campus graduate programs, in addition to a four-year engineering college in conjunction
with the University of Kentucky. In 2008, WKCTC opened a Paducah School of Art, which held classes this
fall in its temporary location, while the permanent facility is under construction.
Medical Facilities
Paducah serves as the regional medical center for much of the Jackson Purchase Area of Western Kentucky, a
large portion of Southern Illinois, and Northwestern Tennessee. Paducah’s medical industry has almost every
major medical specialty represented in the physician population. The medical industry, represented by
Lourdes Hospital and Western Baptist Hospital, provides over 640 beds for medical needs. The two largest
hospitals, together, employ approximately 2,900 persons.
Recreation And Culture
Citizens have available a wide range of recreational and cultural activities which cater to diverse tastes. Area
residents may choose from fishing on nearby Kentucky and Barkley Lakes to enjoying the performing arts.
-2-
City parks provide areas for baseball, softball, golf, football, tennis, disc golf, skate boarding, soccer and
picnicking. The Parks Services Department offers a substantial number of activities for people of all ages.
The ‘Dogwood Festival’, held in April, highlights the coming of spring in Paducah. Residents are encouraged
to spotlight their trees to illuminate a driving tour to celebrate an abundance of dogwood trees.
The LowerTown Art and Music Festival is uniquely showcased within the borders of Paducah’s 140-year-old
historic neighborhood. The LowerTown Art and Music Festival is an outdoor-juried show in its 7th year. The
weekend includes jazz, salsa, zydeco and blues music, as well as food from area restaurants. Over 8,000
people attended in 2009.
Started in 2004, the ‘Rivers Edge International Film Festival’ is a four-day event built around the showing of
independent films from around the world. The festival is held in multiple venues including Maiden Alley
Cinema, Market House Theatre, and Yeiser Art Center. In addition to appealing to the film lover, the festival
also provides filmmakers opportunities for exhibition, education, and networking.
Paducah is the site of the Museum of the American Quilter’s Society. In May 2008, a congressional
designation was passed naming the museum as the National Quilt Museum of the United States. The museum,
dedicated in 1991, is the centerpiece for the quilters’ annual convention held in April. The convention attracts
an estimated 30,000 visitors to Paducah annually.
The ‘After Dinner Downtown Program’, which began in May 1997, started out as an experiment to draw
people to Paducah's downtown district. From May to September, businesses remain open late on Saturday
night, while street corner musicians of all types entertain.
The ‘Paducah Summer Festival’, started in 1967, is an annual celebration held during the last week in July.
Some of the Festival’s activities include skydiving, hot air balloon races, a variety of music concerts, and
usually concludes with a spectacular riverfront fireworks display.
One of Paducah’s oldest celebrations is the ‘8th of August Emancipation Celebration’, which features African
American family reunions, or a homecoming. It is a time for African Americans to pay tribute to their heritage
and roots, and a time of reconciliation.
The ‘Barbecue on the River’ event was started in 1995, as a way for local charities to raise funds. It attracts in
excess of 70,000 participants to Paducah’s riverfront during the last weekend in September. Over time, this
annual event has grown to incorporate other events, including ‘Marine Industry Day’ and ‘Old Market Days’.
Paducah Power sponsors the annual ‘Christmas in the Park’ lighting display at Noble Park. The public is
invited to a special lighting ceremony the Friday after Thanksgiving. This is the eleventh year for the event.
Although the event is free, volunteers collect more than $30,000 in cash and thousands of pounds of canned
food annually.
Paducah has an active symphony and several theater groups. The Paducah Symphony Orchestra stages
concerts during the winter season, with the Market House Theater presenting several productions during the
same time period. In addition, West Kentucky Community and Technical College’s ‘Arts in Focus’ series
sponsors a variety of professional productions.
The most recent addition to the City’s cultural lineup is the ‘Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center for the
Performing Arts’. The Center opened in February 2004, as a regional, multiple-purpose facility, with a 1,800-
seat main hall designed to accommodate a wide variety of cultural and educational programs.
The McCracken County Public Library offers a large selection of literature, special collections and programs.
The West Kentucky Community and Technical College Library supplements this community resource. The
combined inventories of the two libraries yield nearly 121,000 titles, not counting numerous periodicals and
newspapers.

THE GOVERNMENT
Paducah operates under a Council-City Manager form of government. The Paducah Board of Commissioners
is made up of a Mayor and four Commissioners elected at large by the citizens on a non-partisan basis. The
Mayor is elected for a four-year term and Commissioners for a two-year term. The Mayor and Commissioners
have equal voting powers.
The Board of Commissioners sets the policies that govern the City. It appoints advisory citizens groups that
help in the decision-making process. The City Manager is appointed by the Board and assists it in formulating
objectives, policies and programs. The City Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the City’s
343 full-time employees as of June 30, 2009. Department managers are responsible for their respective
departments and report directly to the City Manager.
REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
For financial statement purposes, as required by generally accepted accounting principles, the City’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes all City of Paducah financial statements (primary
government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City’s
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City of
Paducah.
Blended units are presented as such because the units’ governing bodies are substantially the same as the
governing body of the City, or provide services almost entirely to the City of Paducah. The City has only one
blended unit: the Police and Firefighters’ Pension Fund, which was established for the benefit of police and
firemen of the City.
The following component units have been presented as discrete units to emphasize that they are legally
separate from the City. Paducah Water Works and Transit Authority of the City of Paducah are all included in
the City’s financial statements because of their financial relationship with the City.
The City provides a full range of municipal services, including police and fire protection; maintenance of
streets and infrastructure; sanitation services; storm sewer services; cultural events and recreation activities.
Accounting System
The City’s accounting system is organized on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a
separate accounting entity. The financial activities of each fund generate a separate set of self-balancing
accounts, which comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses. Municipal
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to
be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
The City’s accounting records for the governmental funds and agency funds are maintained on a modified
accrual basis, with revenues being recorded when “measurable and available” and expenditures being recorded
when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred. Accounting records for the City’s
proprietary funds and trust funds are maintained on the accrual basis, with revenues recognized when earned
and expenses recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used.
Internal Control
In developing and evaluating the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal
controls. Internal controls were designed for Paducah’s accounting system to reasonably safeguard its assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, check the accuracy of accounting data, promote operational
efficiency and encourage adherence to prescribed managerial policies.
Budgetary Control
Paducah’s budget process provides for input from department managers, top management, elected officials and
the public to determine what programs and services will be provided for during the upcoming year. Budgetary
-4-
control is maintained at the departmental level by comparing budgeted expenditures with actual expenditures
on a periodic and year-to-date basis. An expenditure, which would result in an overrun of department
appropriation, cannot be made until additional funds are appropriated and a budget amendment is approved.
Purchase orders which result in an overrun of department appropriations cannot be honored until additional
appropriations are made available. Open encumbrances at fiscal year end, if any, are reported as reservations
of fund balance. Unencumbered funds at year end roll into the fund balance.
Financial Policies
The City’s financial policies are shaped by state law and established by management and the City Commission.
Financial policies include budgeting and financial planning, capital planning, revenue, investment, debt
management, procurement, and accounting and auditing.
During FY2009, some of the City’s financial policies did have a significant impact on the financial statements:
Pension Obligation Costs. In FY2006, the City issued general obligation bonds of $6,100,000 to finance the
police and firefighters’ pension fund actuary liability. Since the issuance of these bonds, the City has made its
policy to contribute the normal cost annually as well as make the necessary contribution to eliminate any
unfunded liability that would arise from the fund being in a deficit position as of the actuarial date. For
FY2009, the required contribution was $230,530. This amount is up from $54,816 in FY2008 and is expected
to double to $460,000 for FY2010.
FEMA Reimbursements. In FY2009, the City experienced two separate storms that qualified for FEMA
reimbursement. This is the first time the City has received federal disaster assistance since severe flooding in
1993. Neither the expenses nor the related revenues were anticipated and, therefore, were not included in the
City’s budget.
In September 2008, the City and surrounding area experienced extensive wind damage due to
Hurricane Ike. The City incurred over $450 thousand in clean-up costs, with the federal share being
$342 thousand.
In late January 2009, the region experienced a historical ice storm, with nearly 2 inches of catastrophic
icing in the Paducah/McCracken County area. By the evening of January 27, over 90 percent of
southwestern Kentucky was without power. Trees fell on many homes and cars, numerous trees and
power lines blocked roads and caused major travel hazards in the days following the storm, and
communication outages impacted many homes and businesses. As a result of the storm, the City
incurred clean-up costs of over $3 million dollars, with $2.6 million dollars in federally reimbursable
expenses through FEMA.
Fund Balance Reserve. The City’s operating budget policy states that the General Fund’s minimum
undesignated cash balance shall be 8% of the General Fund’s budgeted expenditures. Any year-end operating
surpluses in excess of the required reserve may be kept as additional reserve or made available for capital
projects and/or “one-time only” General Fund expenditures as determined by the Board of Commissioners. In
the fall of 2008, the Commission approved $1.082 million in additional appropriations. The most significant
of these included vehicle acquisitions, mobile data terminal replacement, and installation of efficiency
improvements as a result of the City’s energy audit.
As part of the City’s annual budget process, financial policies are reviewed and amended as necessary. In
FY2009, there were no changes in policy that would have a significant impact on the financial statements of
the City.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
On October 1, 2005, the City’s payroll tax was increased ½ cent. As a result of the payroll tax increase, the
City Commission created the Investment Fund. The Investment Fund is funded with the ½ cent increase and is
dedicated to the following purposes: economic development, neighborhood redevelopment, infrastructure
capital investment, and property tax relief. During the FY 2010 budget process, the Commission reviewed
-5-
numerous decision packages proposed for the Investment Fund Budget; expenditures totaling $4.58 million
were appropriated.
The City has numerous infrastructure/capital items that will affect the long-term financial planning process.
The following projects are two examples of future considerations facing the City:
Floodwall Restoration. The 12.5-mile long floodwall system protecting a large portion of the Paducah-
McCracken area is approaching 60 years of age. It is still in good condition long beyond its design life;
however, it is in need of necessary repairs. The estimated cost of this restoration project is approximately $6
million. Anticipated grant funds will cover 65% of the project. In FY2009, the City proceeded with making
the most seriously needed repairs by borrowing around $2 million. This phase of repairs should be completed
during FY2010.
Riverfront Redevelopment Plan. The City’s Riverfront Redevelopment Plan includes proposed improvements
that will provide public amenities, recreational facilities and public spaces that will tie the City’s downtown to
the Ohio River. The plan includes a public marina, boat ramp, recreational trails and shoreline enhancements,
and a steamboat landing, just to name a few. Completion of Phase I and Phase II of the entire riverfront
redevelopment plan will cost an estimated $46.2 million. In FY2007, the City was allocated $5.3 million in
federal funds for construction of Phase 1 and the Ohio River Boat Launch Project. Environmental assessment
and remediation procedures required by the permitting process have temporarily stalled the construction of this
phase of the project. Once all permits are secured, construction will be able to begin. Operating costs will be a
long-term planning consideration.
Sports Park. The City is in negotiations for a land purchase that will be used to develop a sports park. If the
purchase goes through, a plan will be developed which will likely include soccer fields, softball/baseball fields,
trails, shelters, and ancillary buildings. Depending on possible partnerships and construction phasing,
development costs may range between $2 million and $6 million dollars. Operating costs of the facility will be
a long-term planning consideration and is estimated at build-out to be $150,000 to $200,000 annually.
ECONOMIC CONDITION
The City continues to be aggressive in promoting economic development, since new developmental job growth
is necessary to ensure the continued stability of the City’s tax base. Economic indicators and trends reflect that
the area’s economy has remained fairly steady considering the nation’s recent economic struggles. It is
expected that the economy will continue to hold over the near term. Area employment decreased only slightly
with 29,254 persons employed (McCracken County) as of June 30, 2009.
The June 2009 unemployment rate was 9.3% (McCracken County), which is almost equal to the federal rate of
9.7%. Both local and federal unemployment rates increased, compared to 6.1 and 5.5 in the prior year,
respectively. The number of active electric and water meters was nearly the same as the prior year. The
number of building and electric permits obtained was 1,179 for fiscal year 2009 valued at $37.7 million, which
is $10 million down from fiscal year 2008.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Kentucky Revised Statute 91 A-040 requires an annual audit of each fund of the City by an auditor of public
accounts or a certified public accountant. The independent certified public accounting firm of Williams,
Williams & Lentz, LLP, has conducted this audit and their opinion has been included in this report. The City
is also subject to the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 reporting requirements. The Single Audit Report
is included within this report.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Paducah, Kentucky for its comprehensive
annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. This was the eighteenth consecutive year that
the City achieved this prestigious award.
-6-
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, a government must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must
satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. We
believe our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not be accomplished without the efficient and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the Finance Department. We wish to express our appreciation to all members of
the Finance Department who assisted and contributed to its preparation, and special thanks to Williams,
Williams & Lentz, LLP. We also thank the Mayor and City Commission for their interest and support in
planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Honorable William F. Paxton, Mayor
Members of the Board of Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
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 Paducah, Kentucky (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009,
which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s management. Our responsibility
is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial
statements of the Transit Authority of the City of Paducah, a component unit, which represents eight percent of
the assets and revenues of the Component Units column. Those financial statements were audited by another
auditor whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion on the basic financial statements, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for the Transit Authority of the City of Paducah, a discretely presented
component unit, is based on the report of another auditor.
We conducted our audit 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of another auditor, 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 Paducah, Kentucky as of June 30, 2009, and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary
comparisons for the General Fund and Special Revenue Investment Fund, for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial positions of each nonmajor governmental, nonmajor enterprise, internal service, and fiduciary fund,
which collectively comprise the City's combining and individual fund statements and schedules as listed in the
table of contents as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Capital Improvements, Debt
Service Fund and the non-major governmental funds, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 22, 2009,
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 internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and important for assessing the results of our audit.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Pension Trust Fund Schedules on pages 13 through 27 and 90,
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited
procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement
and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no
opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s basic financial statements. The introductory section and statistical
tables are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of
additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of State,
Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial
statements of the City of Paducah, Kentucky. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken 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 express no opinion on them.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2009
The City of Paducah (“City”) offers Management’s Discussion and Analysis to provide a narrative overview
and analysis of City financial activities for fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. To fully understand the entire
scope of the City’s financial activities, this information should be read in conjunction with the letter of
transmittal (pages 1-7) and the basic financial statements (pages 28-89) provided in this document.
The City first implemented Government Accounting Standards Board Statement 34, Basic Financial
Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, for fiscal year
2003.
I. Financial Highlights
Assets exceeded liabilities by $49.5 million at the close of the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Of this
amount, $9.7 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet City government’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
Total net assets decreased $965,199.
At fiscal year end, City governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $16.3
million. Approximately 70% of this total amount, $11.5 million, is unreserved and available for
spending at the City’s discretion. Of the $11.5 million, $1.1 is in various special funds, which are
earmarked for specific purposes.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved General Fund fund balance was $10.3 million, of
which cash makes up approximately $4.2 million. When compared to actual total appropriations,
the General Fund cash balance is 14%.
II. Overview of Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which
consist of four components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, 3)
component unit financial statements, and 4) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
A. Government-Wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
City finances in a manner similar to private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all City assets and liabilities, with the
difference between assets and liabilities reported as net assets. Monitoring increases and/or
decreases in net assets over time may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of
the City is improving, stagnating, or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed during
the fiscal year. All net asset changes are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Revenues and expenses are reported in
the Statement of Activities for some items that will only result in cash flows in the future (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish City functions that are primarily
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other City
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). City governmental activities include general government, public
safety, public service, parks and recreation, planning and development, and interest on long-term
-13-
debt. Business-type activities of the City include Solid Waste, Section Eight Housing, Civic Center
and Telecommunication Information System Authority (TISA).
Government-wide financial statements include not only the City (the primary government), but also
a legally separate Paducah Water Works and Transit Authority of the City of Paducah (component
units) for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for the component units
is reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself.
It should be noted that Paducah Power System was not included as a component unit of the City for
FY2009. The Electric Plant Board of the City of Paducah (Paducah Power) was established under
Kentucky Revised Statutes; which provide for the establishment of municipal electric plants to own
and operate electric utilities in Kentucky. Paducah Power is a political and corporate body with
perpetual succession and may contract and be contracted within and by its corporate name. The
operations of Paducah Power are governed by their four-member board that is independent of the
City Commission of the City of Paducah. The City of Paducah is not legally bound by any of the
actions of Paducah Power and has no financial interest in Paducah Power. Based on these facts,
Paducah Power is not deemed to be a component unit of the City of Paducah and has been excluded
from the financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 28-31 of this report.
B. Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that are used to maintain control over segregated resources
for specific activities or objectives. The City of Paducah, like other state and local governments,
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
City funds can be divided into three categories:
1) Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Unlike
government-wide financial statements, however, governmental fund financial statements focus on
current sources and uses of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. This information may be useful in evaluating a city’s near
term financing requirements.
The City maintains twelve (12) individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately
in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General, General Capital Improvements,
Investment, and Debt Service Funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other eight (8) funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining and individual
fund statements elsewhere in this report on pages 91-104.
Readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City’s near term financing decisions by
comparing the narrow-focus governmental funds financial statements with governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements. Exhibit 4 (pages 34-35) and Exhibit 6 (pages 38-40)
provide a reconciliation to ease comparison between the fund financial statements and the
government-wide statements.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 32-40 of this report.
-14-
2) Proprietary Funds. The City maintains two types of proprietary funds:
a. Enterprise Funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as
business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements and are used to account
for operations:
That are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where
the intent of the governing body is that the costs of providing goods and services to the
general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges; or
Where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned,
expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public
policy, management control, accountability or other purposes.
The City uses four enterprise funds to account for Solid Waste, Section Eight Housing,
Civic Center and TISA, as well as certain component units that provide water and public
transit. TISA and Civic Center receive subsidy from the General Fund.
The City’s component unit enterprises include the Paducah Water Works and Paducah
Transit Authority, which provide water and public transportation. These component units,
each of which has their own board of directors, are also enterprise funds and are shown on
pages 53-56.
b. Internal Service Funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for fleet services,
fleet replacement, risk management (insurance) and employee health programs. Internal
service funds have been allocated between governmental activities and business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements based on revenue earned.
Proprietary funds provide the same kind of information as government-wide financial statements
but in greater detail. Individual data for the nonmajor proprietary funds is presented in the form
of combining statements on pages 105-107 of this report. Individual data for the internal service
funds is likewise presented in the form of combining statements on pages 108-110 of this report.
3) Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government and are not reflected in government-wide financial statements
because those resources are not available to support City programs. Individual data for the
City’s four (4) fiduciary funds (Appointive Employees’ Pension, Police and Firefighters’
Retirement, Other Trust Funds, and Maintenance and Rehabilitation Trust) are presented in the
form of combining statements on pages 111-115 of this report.
C. Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to fully understanding data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. Notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 57-89 of this report.
D. Other Information
In addition to basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information concerning City funding of its obligation to provide pension
benefits to its employees and budgetary comparison schedules for the general and major special
revenue funds.
-15-
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds,
nonmajor proprietary funds, internal service funds and fiduciary funds are presented immediately
following the required supplementary information on pensions and budgetary comparisons.
Combining fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 93-115 of this report.
III. Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position.
City assets exceeded liabilities by $49.5 million as of June 30, 2009.
For FY2009, the largest portion of the City’s net assets (67%) reflects its investment in capital assets
(i.e., land, buildings, machinery, equipment and infrastructure) less outstanding related debt used to
acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide service to citizens and, as a result,
these assets are not available for future spending. The City’s capital assets investment is reported
net of related debt, but the resources to pay this debt must be provided from other sources since the
capital assets cannot be used to liquidate the liabilities.
An additional portion of City net assets (14%) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets (19%) may
be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
As of June 30, 2009, the City reports positive balances of net assets, both for the government as a
whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

Annual increases to total net assets began in FY2005 primarily due to the increase of the City’s
payroll tax and the creation of the Investment Fund. The additional tax generates an additional $4
million in revenue each year, which is used mostly for capital investment. Increases have leveled
off for the past few years due to mid-year appropriations made by the Commission, reducing the
City’s unreserved cash balance at June 30 to the minimum requirement of 8% each time.
Additionally, several categories of revenue were either flat or decreased due to the economic
downturn.
A. Analysis of the City’s Operations
The following table provides a summary of the City’s operations for the years ended June 30, 2009
and 2008. Governmental activities decreased the City’s net assets by $1,626,416. Business-type
activities increased the City’s net assets by $661,217.

B. Governmental Activities
As with most municipalities, the City’s governmental activities are heavily subsidized by taxes, with
little or no program revenue for each function. The chart below demonstrates the importance of tax
revenue to essential functions of the City.

In fiscal year 2009, the City derived 73% of its revenue from taxes/licenses. Occupational licenses,
which includes payroll withholding tax, business licenses, and insurance premium tax, is the largest
source of income to the City totaling approximately $25 million. This category of revenue
decreased 1.3% from fiscal year 2008. Insurance premium tax collections have been extremely
unpredictable over the past few years. This tax experienced a 14% increase from FY06 to FY07, a
7% increase from FY07 to FY08, and a 14% decrease from FY08 to FY09. Fluctuations similar to
this have occurred in other areas across Kentucky partially due to a lack of regulation. Legislation
was passed during the 2008 session which imposes new requirements on insurance companies with
regard to risk allocation methods, strengthens penalties against insurance companies who don’t
comply with the law, and imposes new requirements on insurance companies to inform policy-
holders/citizens of tax rates and jurisdictions. In addition, City staff conducted its own research and
found that there were several significant “one-time” life insurance policies that the City had received
tax revenue for in the past few years. The large decrease in this tax along with the relatively flat
collections in other areas of occupational licenses (due to economic downturn) contributed heavily
to the overall decrease in general revenues from the prior year.
Another noteworthy comment regarding revenue is the increase in capital grants/contributions from
prior year. This category of revenue increased from $1.3 million in fiscal year 2008 to $4.9 million
in fiscal year 2009. This is due to federal disaster assistance received as a result of the Hurricane Ike
Windstorm and the 2009 Ice Storm.
C. Business-Type Activities
Business-type activities increased the City’s net assets by $661,217.
The chart below shows the operating results for each of the City’s business-type activities. These
activities should break-even; that is, the charges for services should be large enough to sustain
operations. For fiscal year 2009, business-type activities as a whole had an increase in net assets of
$661,217. This was primarily due to the performance of the Solid Waste Fund.

The Solid Waste Fund, a major fund of the organization, experienced a positive change in net assets
for the first time in fiscal year 2008 since fiscal year 2004. During 2008, efforts were made to
improve the performance of this function, including a rate increase as well as efficiency measures
through equipment and route reorganization. In 2009, another rate increase was implemented. In
addition, the entire Public Works department was reorganized, which led to the selling off of
unnecessary equipment and reduced spending.
IV. Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
A. Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near term inflows, outflows
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in determining the City’s financing
requirements. Unreserved fund balance serves as a useful measure of the City’s net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the fiscal year, the City governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $16.3 million. Approximately 70% of this total amount, $11.5 million, is unreserved fund
balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion but only up to the amount
represented by cash. Of the $11.5 million, $1.2 million is in the Debt Service Fund and various
special revenue funds which are earmarked for specific purposes. The remaining $4.8 million of
fund balance is reserved for specific future uses.
The allocation of fund balances among the categories (shown below) is fairly consistent with prior
years. There was a slight decrease in reserved fund balance. At the end of fiscal year 2008, there
was $2.9 million in reserved fund balance for capital improvements. Several capital projects funded
in 2008 were completed or in progress at the end of fiscal year 2009, including various community
development/housing projects, floodwall repairs, and riverfront development work. This brought
the balance to $1.7 million.

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the 2008-2009 fiscal year,
the General Fund unreserved fund balance was $10.3 million. City fiscal policy (ordinance 2008-6-
7431) required that an amount not less than 8% of the General Fund’s budgeted expenditures remain
-21-
undesignated in the fund balance, or $2.4 million, which leaves $7.9 million as unreserved for fiscal
year 2009. While $7.9 million represents unreserved fund balance, it is worth noting here that at
year end there was only $4.2 million available as cash, the balance is tied up in other assets
including accounts receivable and property taxes collectible.
As a measure of General Fund liquidity, readers may compare unreserved fund balance to total
General Fund expenditures. Unreserved General Fund fund balance represents approximately 35%
of expenditures and transfers out ($29 million). This has remained stable since the implementation
of GASB 34, staying between approximately 30 and 35% since fiscal year 2003.

Revenues and expenditures were flat from 2008 to 2009. However, there were significant transfers
made out of the General Fund in fiscal year 2008 that did not repeat in 2009. In 2008, a transfer in
the amount of $550,000 was made out of the General Fund to subsidize the Health Insurance Fund.
Also, a transfer was made to the Capital Improvements Fund in the amount of approximately
580,000 to fund design work on the riverfront redevelopment project. $
The Investment Fund had a fund balance of $2.6 million, all of which is reserved for capital projects.
The Investment Fund’s fund balance increased $537 thousand. The Investment Fund was authorized
by the City Commission in fiscal year 2005-2006 as a special revenue fund whose use is restricted to
economic development, community redevelopment and capital and infrastructure projects. The
Investment Fund captures all manner of financial activities related to revenue from the ½ cent
payroll tax increase effective October 1, 2005. Payroll tax revenue was virtually flat from fiscal
year 2008 to 2009. The increase in fund balance is due to a few projects that were put on hold or
ancelled altogether because of the economic downturn. c
B. Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same information found in the government-wide financial
tatements but in more detail. s
-22-
Net assets of the respective proprietary funds are:
Solid Waste $1,970,974
Section Eight Housing 391,361
Civic Center 198,921
TISA 362,375
Combined total net asset change for the four funds was an increase of $578 thousand, broken down
as follows: Solid Waste ($673 thousand increase), Section Eight Housing ($188 thousand decrease),
Civic Center ($12 thousand decrease), and TISA ($105 thousand increase). The most significant
change, Solid Waste, was discussed under Business Type Activities (Section III-C). Section Eight
experienced a decrease in fund balance of over 20% for the second year in a row in fiscal year 2009.
Annual HUD grant funding is based on expected rentals for the year. During fiscal year 2008 and
2009, rental costs exceeded what had been projected. For fiscal year 2010, the Section Eight
department has implemented a plan to reduce program expenditures so that reserves may be
replenished. Expenditures equaled funding received for the first time in November 2009, indicating
that the plan may be working and a loss will not be experienced for fiscal year 2010.
V. General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Differences between the original budget and the final actual amounts resulted in a $759 thousand
decrease in appropriations and can be briefly summarized as follows:
Appropriations
Department Increase Decrease
(In Thousands)
General administration $ - $ 150
Finance 300 -
Planning - 79
Human rights 91 -
Human resources - 366
Inspection - 274
Information systems 9 -
Risk management - 14
Police - 391
Fire - 439
Public works - 338
Engineering services - 49
Recreation - 38
Other 979 -
Transfers out increased by almost $1 million. This is due to the mid-year budget appropriation
designating just over $1 million for capital projects. The Finance Department’s budget increased by
$300,000 because of its absorption of the Human Resources Department. This increase is countered by
the decrease in the Human Resources Department of $366,000. Many of the other large departments
within the City experienced a decrease in their appropriations. This typically happens for departments
such as Fire and Police due to salary slippage. However, more departments than usual had significant
decreases due to the economic downturn. Budgetary analysis tools were used throughout the year to
monitor each department’s spending. Some positions were not filled as they were vacated, departmental
projects were put on hold, and a general sense of frugalness was applied throughout much of the year.

VI. Capital Asset and Debt Administration
A. Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for governmental and business-type activities as of June 30,
2009, is $36.0 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes
land, buildings and improvements, vehicles and equipment, park facilities, roads, highways, and
bridges, and construction in progress.
Capital improvements are included in each department budget until improvements are completed.
At the end of the fiscal year, completed projects are capitalized in the government-wide statements.
During fiscal year 2009, projects and equipment expenditures totaled nearly $8.6 million. Some of
the largest capital-type projects, in terms of dollars in fiscal year 2009, are shown in the following
table:
Floodwall Rehabilitation $1,108,329
Neighborhood Redevelopment 716,282
J. Carroll Convention Center Rehab 670,670
Fire Truck Purchase 279,907
Riverfront Redevelopment 238,053
In the upcoming years, several street, economic development, riverfront development, quality of life
and drainage projects will continue and are estimated to cost several million dollars. Capital
improvement projects including infrastructure, recreational facility improvements, continued
neighborhood revitalization, and street and sidewalk rehabilitation are among the projects to be
addressed.

B. Long-Term Debt
At year end, the City had $26,849,142 in outstanding bonds, accrued compensated absences, and
notes payable, compared to $22,432,196 at June 30, 2008, with maturities extending through 2029.

TOTALS $26,849,142 $22,432,196
During the year, the City had two major new debt issues:
Floodwall Rehabilitation. In March 2009, a $2.8 million general obligation was issued to finance
significant repairs to the City’s 60 year-old floodwall. The first stage of a $6 million project, this
money was used to fund the relining of the pipes, which have deteriorated with age. These bonds are
required to be fully paid within 20 years from the date of issue and are backed by the full faith and
credit of the City.
Convention Center Renovation. In March 2009, the City entered into an agreement in the amount
$5,000,000 with the Kentucky Association of Counties to finance renovations to the Julian Carroll
Convention Center. The note was issued by McCracken County; however, the City is obligated for
50% of the principal amount through an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement between the City and
McCracken County. The note is required to be fully paid within 20 years from the date of issue and
is backed jointly by the full faith and credit of the City and the County.
Debt issues prior to July 1, 2008, are described below:
Convention and Performing Arts Center. In June 2001, a $9.29 million general obligation bond
was added to the City’s debt obligation to finance construction of the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers
Center for the Performing Arts (approximately $3.0 million) and the expansion of the Julian Carroll
Convention Center (approximately $6.0 million). These bonds are required to be fully paid within 25
years from the date of issue and are backed by the full faith and credit of the City. While the City
issued these bonds, 50% of the principal amount of the bonds is being issued on behalf of the County
of McCracken, Kentucky. McCracken County has issued the City a general obligation note in a
principal amount equal to 50% of the principal amount of the bonds.
Kentucky League of Cities. In fiscal year 2003, the City borrowed $3.5 million to fund a variety of
capital projects, including park improvements ($1.0 million), downtown infrastructure improvements
in conjunction with the FRC ($1.5 million), and City Hall, Police and other City-owned facility
improvements ($1.0 million).
Infiniti Media Building. In fiscal year 2004, the City sold $5.0 million in bonds to construct the
Infiniti Media Building in the Paducah Industrial Park West, an economic development project. By
interlocal agreement, McCracken County is obligated to an amount equal to 50% of the principal
amount of the bonds. After the third year of the life of the bond, the Infiniti Media Company is
obligated to make monthly lease payments to the City in an amount nearly equal to the debt service
obligation.
-25-
Police/Firefighter Pension Fund Liability. In fiscal year 2006, the City issued $6.1 million in
general obligation bonds to finance the police and firefighter’s pension fund estimated pension
liability. These bonds are to be fully paid within 20 years and are backed by the full faith and credit
of the City.
The City’s legal debt limit under §158 of the Kentucky Constitution is 10% of total assessed value of
taxable property in Paducah; therefore, the debt limit is $206,945,061. The City’s latest bond rating
by Moody is A2. The City has a low amount of general obligation debt, which explains our large
legal debt margin.
The City of Paducah, Kentucky, issues and incurs debt in order to fund capital improvement projects,
purchase major capital equipment and facilities, and respond to other special funding needs. In fiscal
year 2009, less than 6.2% of the General Fund budget was expended for debt service and; thus, has
minimal impact on current and future operations.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 3 in the notes to financial
statements on pages 74-77.
VII. Other Potentially Significant Matters.
A. Post-employment Benefits. Personal service costs make up over two-thirds of the City’s annual
operating budget, and that number increases annually partially due to rising retirement costs. In the
past five years, the City’s combined hazardous and non-hazardous retirement contribution has
increased by 57%, from approximately $2.1 million in fiscal year 2005 to $3.3 million in fiscal year
2009. The rates for FY2010 have increased, causing budgeted figures for the upcoming year to
increase another $400,000 compared to what was incurred in FY2009. Based on trends and
projections provided by the Retirement System, the long-term outlook on funding requirements is of
utmost concern.
B. Infrastructure. Recently completed and upcoming major road/infrastructure projects have and will
continue to increase the flow of commerce, tourism and traffic flow in the City. During fiscal 2008,
the Pecan Drive Improvements project was completed, an investment of nearly $5.5 million. The
City continues to work on the $6.5 million Olivet Church Road Project. This project will relieve
traffic congestion and improve traffic safety for Interstate 24 at Exit 3 and 4. During fiscal year
2010, the City plans to complete right-of-way acquisition and begin construction. The onset of
construction will be determined by the availability of state funding. An appropriation of $4.5
million is included in the state’s 6-year plan; however, we are unsure when the funds will be
released.
C. Operating Efficiency Plan. In the spring of 2009, the City Commission adopted an “Operational
Efficiency Plan” in response to the national economic crisis. This plan assumed that the full impact
of the recession had not yet been felt in Paducah and that recovery would take two years. The total
impact of the Plan is an annual cost reduction of about $2 million. There were several
organizational changes including: Public Works and Engineering Departments were merged;
Finance and Human Resources Departments were merged; and GIS was moved from Engineering to
Information Services. Fourteen employees were laid off (including two directors), and 19 additional
positions were eliminated either by leaving vacant positions unfilled or by attrition. Other changes
were made during annual budget discussions to meet the City’s goal of reducing General Fund
expenditures by at least 10% or $3 million. Even though positions were cut and reorganization
began in April 2009, severance pay and transition time lead to most of the effects of the Plan not
being realized until fiscal year 2010.
D. Upcoming Debt Issue. The City plans to issue general obligation bonds in January 2010 in order to
acquire and raze a former hotel complex in downtown Paducah, purchase a pavilion, and acquire
real estate for the future development of a sports park. The bond issue will likely range from $5.5
million to $6.0 million.
-26-
E. Police and Fire Pension Fund (PFPF) Unfunded Liability. In fiscal year 2006, the City issued
$6.1 million in general obligation bonds to eliminate the unfunded pension liability. With the sharp
decline in value of the national stock market in 2009, the PFPF’s equity investment dropped
accordingly. PFPF net assets dropped in 2009 by nearly $3.5 million or 28.5% of the beginning net
assets (July 1, 2008). The City will contribute $460,000 in fiscal year 2010, the actuary’s
recommended amount, toward the PFPF unfunded pension liability.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
General Statement
The City of Paducah (City) complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP
includes all relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. In the
government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements for the proprietary funds,
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APB)
opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989, have been applied unless those pronouncements conflict
with or contradict GASB pronouncements, in which case, GASB pronouncements prevails. For enterprise
funds, GASB Statement Nos. 20 and 34 provide the City the option of electing to apply FASB
pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989. The City has elected not to apply those
pronouncements. The accounting and reporting framework and the more significant accounting policies
are discussed in subsequent subsections of this Note. The financial reporting entity, basis of accounting,
and other significant policies employed by the City are summarized as follows:
Financial Reporting Entity
The City operates under a City Manager form of government. The Board of Commissioners consists of a
Mayor and four Commissioners elected at large by the citizens on a non-partisan basis. As required by
generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of
the City of Paducah (the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed
below are included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or
financial relationships with the City.
Blended Component Units
Police and Firefighters’ Pension Fund - This retirement fund was established for the benefit of the
police and firemen of the City. It is administered by a Board of Trustees consisting of the Mayor, City
Finance Director and representatives of the Police and Fire Departments. The Board is authorized to
establish benefit levels and to approve actuarial assumptions used in the determination of contribution
levels.
Discretely Presented Component Units
The component unit column in the basic financial statements includes the financial data of the City’s other
component units. They are reported in a separate column to emphasize that they are legally separate from
the City. The following component units are included in the reporting entity because of their financial
relationship with the City and the City is able to impose its will on the organizations.
Paducah Water Works - The City of Paducah Water Works Commission is appointed by the Mayor.
The rates for user charges and bond issuance authorizations are subject to approval by the City
Commission of the City of Paducah.
Transit Authority of the City of Paducah - The Transit Authority’s governing board is appointed by
the Mayor of the City of Paducah. The City is the grantee agency receiving, on behalf of the Transit

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities display information about the reporting
government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity except for fiduciary funds. The
statements distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities
generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues.
Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or
services.
Fund Financial Statements
Fund financial statements of the reporting entity are organized into funds, each of which is considered to
be separate accounting entities. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditure/expenses. Funds are
organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed
on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered major if it is the
primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or
enterprise fund are at least ten percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or
type; and
b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or
enterprise fund are at least five percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise
funds combined.
The funds of the financial reporting entity are described below:
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial
resources. The City has presented the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - To account for resources traditionally associated with governments which are not
required to be accounted for in another fund.
General Capital Improvements – To account for the acquisition or construction of major capital projects
other than those financed by proprietary fund operations and special assessments.
Special Revenue Investment Fund - To account for restricted funds from employee license fee used for
economic development, neighborhood redevelopment and infrastructure capital investments within
Paducah.
Debt Service Fund – To account for the accumulation of resources and payment of bond and note
principal and interest, and capital lease activity.
The City has presented the following major proprietary fund:
Solid Waste Fund – To account for the provision of refuse services to the residents of the City.
Additionally, the City reports the internal service funds which are used to account for the fleet
management services, self funded property and casualty self insurance and self funded health and
disability insurance provided to departments of the City.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
Fiduciary funds report resources held in trust. Two of these funds are single-employer defined benefit
funds and are administered by the City. These funds are Police and Firefighters' Pension Fund (PFPF) and
Appointive Employee' Pension Fund (AEPF). Pension trust funds report the receipt, investment, and
distribution of retirement contributions. The remaining funds are private-purpose trust funds which report
the receipt and distribution of in accordance with maintenance trust agreements.
The Agency Fund accounts for the City's payroll wages, taxes and related withholdings.
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe “which” transactions are recorded within the various
financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to “when” transactions are recorded regardless of the
measurement focus applied.
On the government-wide Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business-like activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus as defined in item
b. below.
In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic
resources” measurement focus is used as appropriate:
a. All governmental funds utilize a “current financial resources” measurement focus. Only current
financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating
statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period.
These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end
of the period.
b. The proprietary, pension and private-purpose trust funds, and financial statements of City
component units utilize an "economic resources" measurement focus. The accounting objectives of
this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost
recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities (whether current or
noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. Proprietary, pension and private-purpose
trust fund equity is classified as net assets.
c. Agency funds are not involved in the measurement of results of operations; therefore, measurement
focus is not applicable to them.
Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business-type activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting generally including the
reclassification or elimination of internal activity (between or within funds). Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred
or economic asset used.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when “measurable
and available.” Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available
means collectible within the current period or within sixty days after year end. Expenditures (including
capital outlay) are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for general obligation bond
principal and interest which are reported when due. Agency funds are presented using the accrual basis of
accounting.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
All proprietary, pension and private-purpose funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting. Under the
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the
liability is incurred or economic asset used.
Revenues – Exchange and Non-Exchange Transactions
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal
value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis,
revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be
collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year. For the City,
available means expected to be received within sixty days of year end.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return,
include employee license taxes, property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. The City considers
property taxes as available if they are collected within sixty days after year end. Revenue from grants,
entitlements, and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility requirements have been
satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources
are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City
must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which
the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue
from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.
The revenues susceptible to accrual are taxes, intergovernmental, employer and employees’ contributions
to trust funds, interest revenue and charges for services. Permit revenues are not susceptible to accrual
because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.
Deferred/unearned revenue
The City reports unearned revenue on its government-wide statement of net assets and deferred revenue on
the fund financial statements. Deferred/unearned revenues arise when potential revenue does not meet
both the "measurable” and “available” criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred/unearned
revenues also arise when resources are received by the City before it has a legal claim to them, as when
grant monies are received prior to the incurrence of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when
both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the City has a legal claim to the resources, the liability
for deferred/unearned revenue is removed and revenue is recognized.
Allocation of Indirect Expenses
The City allocates indirect expenses primarily comprised of fleet management services and various self
funded insurance coverage provided to departments and employees of the City not directly allocated.
Allocations are charged to functions based on use by weighted-average methodology.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City legally adopts annual budgets for all governmental and proprietary funds except for Section Eight
Housing Fund. The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in these
financial statements:

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1. Prior to July, the City Manager submits to the City Commission a proposed operating budget for the
fiscal year commencing on July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing those.
2. Public hearings are conducted by the City to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to July, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
4. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between department line items;
however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any department must be approved by the
City Commission.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year and the
budget is legally adopted. Budget amendments are also legally adopted.
6. The budget is adopted on a basis (budget basis), which differs from generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP basis).
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds,
Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Funds. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances
since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. There are no encumbrances at June 30, 2009.
Cash and Investments
The City Council updated and adopted formal deposit and investment policies in January 2001. These
policies apply to all City funds not contained in public trusts. Pension trust fund has investment policies
separately approved by their oversight board. The private purpose trust has no adopted deposit and
investment policy.
For the purpose of the Statement of Net Assets, “cash and cash equivalents” includes all demand and
savings accounts of the City. For the purpose of the proprietary fund Statement of Cash Flows, “cash and
cash equivalents” include all demand and savings accounts, and certificates of deposit or short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Investments are reported at fair value which is determined using selected bases. Short-term investments
are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Managed funds related to the
pension and private purpose trust funds not listed on an established market are reported at estimated fair
value as determined by the respective fund managers based on quoted sales prices of the underlying
securities. Cash deposits and certificates of deposit are reported at carrying amount which reasonably
estimates fair value. Additional cash and investment disclosures are presented in Note 3.
Receivables
In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at year end and not yet
received. Major receivable balances for the governmental activities include property taxes, employee
earnings taxes, business licenses, insurance premiums taxes, franchise taxes, grant revenue and interlocal
note receivable. Business-type activities report utilities and interest earnings as their major receivables.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Receivables
The government-wide statements also include general obligation notes receivable related to the general
obligation bonds outstanding as described in Note 3. In the fund financial statements, material receivables
in governmental funds include revenue accruals such as franchise tax, employee earnings taxes, business
licenses, insurance and grants and other similar intergovernmental revenues since they are usually both
measurable and available.
Nonexchange transactions collectible but not available are deferred in the fund financial statements in
accordance with modified accrual, but not deferred in the government-wide financial statements in
accordance with the accrual basis. Interest and investment earnings are recorded when earned only if paid
within sixty days since they would be considered both measurable and available. Proprietary fund
material receivables consist of all revenues earned at year end and not yet received. Utility accounts
receivable and interest earnings compose the majority of proprietary fund receivables. Allowances for
uncollectible accounts receivable are based upon historical trends and the periodic aging of accounts
receivable.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds that may result in
amounts owed between funds. Those related to goods and services type transactions are classified as “due
to and from other funds.” Short-term interfund loans are reported as “interfund receivables and payables.”
Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as “advances from and to other funds.”
Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmental activities are eliminated in the
Statement of Net Assets. See Note 3 for details of interfund transactions, including receivables and
payables at year end.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists of expendable supplies of
$73,605 held for consumption and real property of $2,019,630 held for urban development.
Capital Assets
The accounting treatment of property, plant, and equipment (capital assets) depends on whether the assets
are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in
the government-wide or fund financial statements.
Government-wide Statement
In the government-wide financial statements, property, plant, and equipment are accounted for as capital
assets. All capital assets are valued at historical cost, or estimated historical cost if actual is unavailable,
except for donated capital assets which are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.
Estimated historical cost was used to value the majority of the assets acquired prior to June 30, 2004.
Assets capitalized have an original cost of $500 or more prior to July 1, 1999, and $2,500 or more after
July 1, 1999. Prior to July 1, 2002, governmental funds’ infrastructure assets were not capitalized. These
assets have been valued at estimated historical cost.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Capital assets of the primary government are depreciated over the estimated useful lives using the straight-
line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Land improvements 10-20 Years
Buildings 30-60 Years
Building improvements 3- 7 Years
Infrastructure 15-20 Years
Equipment 5-25 Years
Furnishings and fixtures 3-10 Years
Vehicles 3- 9 Years
Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as
capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary
fund operations are accounted for the same as in the government-wide statements.
Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their
repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited to applicable
bond covenants.
Compensated Absences
Accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay, and other employee benefit amounts are recorded as long-term
debt in the government-wide statements. The current portion of accrued compensated absences is
estimated based on historical trends. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report only the
matured compensated absence liability payable from expendable available financial resources, while the
proprietary funds report the liability as it is incurred.
Accumulations for vacation pay are restricted to a maximum of 50 days and provide vesting rights upon
completion of six months service. Accumulations for sick pay are restricted to a maximum of 150 days
and provide payment to employees or beneficiaries for accumulations in excess of 50 days and up to 120
days upon death or retirement from City service. Qualified participants in the County Employee's
Retirement System, under certain circumstances, are eligible to convert accrued sick pay benefits into
additional credit for years of service upon retirement.
Long-Term Debt
The accounting treatment of long-term debt depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund
operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund
financial statements.
All long-term debt to be repaid from governmental and business-type resources is reported as liabilities in
the government-wide statements. The long-term debt consists primarily of bonds payable, notes payable
and accrued compensated absences.
Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements. The
debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principal and interest as
expenditures. The accounting for proprietary funds is the same in the fund statements as it is in the
government-wide statements.

Investment Policies
City Policy
Credit Risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
Generally, the City's investing activities are managed under the custody of the City's Finance Director.
Investing is performed in accordance with investment policies adopted by the City Commission complying
with State Statutes. In accordance with the City's investment policy and the State Statutes, the City may
invest funds temporarily in excess of operating needs in the following:
Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS 66.480) authorize the City to invest in:
1. Obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and instrumentalities, including obligations subject to
repurchase agreements, provided delivery of obligations subject to repurchase agreements are held
by the City or through an authorized agent;
2. Obligations and contracts for future delivery or purchase of obligations backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States or a United States government agency;
3. Obligations of any corporation of the United States government;
4. Bonds or certificates of indebtedness of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and of its agencies and
instrumentalities;
5. Certificates of deposit issued by or other interest-bearing accounts of any bank or savings and loan
institution which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar entity or which
are collateralized, to the extent uninsured, by any obligations permitted by section 41.240(4) of the
Kentucky Revised Statutes;
6. Securities issued by a state or local government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, in the
United States, and rated in one of the three highest categories by a national recognized rating
agency.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. The City policy provides that to the extent practicable, investments are matched with
anticipated cash flows. Investments are diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from
overconcentration of assets in a specific maturity period, a single issuer, or an individual class of
securities. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, investments are not, in general, made in securities
maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. Surplus cash may be invested in securities
exceeding five years if the maturity of such investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with
the expected use of the investment. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the
magnitude of the City's investment in a single issuer. The City policy does not specifically address
concentration of credit risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 3 - Detail Notes on Transaction Classes/Accounts:
Pension Trust Policy
The City's pension trust is the Police and Firefighters' Pension Fund (PFPF). Investment policy provides
for investment manager(s) who have full discretion of assets allocated to them subject to the overall
investment guidelines set out in the policy. Overall investment guidelines provide for diversification and
allow investment in domestic and international common stocks, fixed income securities, and cash
equivalents. Custodial credit risk is addressed by the policy providing for the engagement of a custodian
who accepts possession of securities for safekeeping; collects and disburses income; collects principal of
sold, matured, or called items; and provides periodic accounting to the pension board.
Asset allocation guideline for the plan is as follows:
PFPF Retirement Plan
Minimum Target Maximum
Equities 35% 50% 65%
Fixed income 35% 50% 65%
The retirement plan addresses credit risk and concentration of credit risk with a policy that prohibits
investment of more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer with the exception of U.S.
government. Policy further prohibits investment of more than 20% in any one market sector. No more
than 10% of corporate debt securities in the fixed income portfolio may be rated below-investment grade.
Commercial paper must be rated A1, P1.
Interest rate risk is addressed by the policy requiring the plan manager(s) to maintain both diversification
and a predictable and dependent source of current income. Fixed income investments are flexibly
allocated among maturities of different lengths.
Private Purpose Trust

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Note 3 - Detail Notes on Transaction Classes/Accounts:
Termination Benefits
Seven employees, through employment contracts, are entitled to certain termination benefits upon
involuntary termination of employment by the City Commission. These benefits include provision for
salary payments for three to six months, as well as, certain health, life, dental, and disability insurance
coverage for same period of time. As these benefits are only provided for involuntary termination of
employment, no provision has been made for these benefits. The City funds these benefits on a pay-as-
you-go basis in the period incurred. For the year ended June 30, 2009, no payments were made for
termination benefits.
In addition, qualified participants in the County Employee's Retirement System (CERS), under certain
circumstances are eligible to convert accrued sick pay benefits into additional credit for years of service
upon retirement. Costs and notification of payment for these benefits are not calculated by the CERS
actuary until a qualified participant submits application for retirement benefits. Accordingly, no provision
has been made for these benefits and the City funds these benefits in the period of notification for payment
by the CERS. For the year ended June 30, 2009, payments of $21,459 were made for these benefits.
Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Costs
The County of McCracken, Kentucky (County) closed the local landfill to the public on June 30, 1995.
The County must comply with established state and federal landfill closure procedures and must perform
maintenance and monitoring procedures at the site for thirty years after closure. The 30-year period will
begin upon approval from the Commonwealth of Kentucky regarding the environmental condition of the
landfill site. As of June 30, 2009, approval had not yet been granted. The County estimated post-closure
care costs totaling $4,125,000 or $125,000 per year plus 10% for inflation. Actual costs may be higher due
to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations. In the year ending June 30, 2001, the City
entered into an inter-local agreement to share equally the costs for post-closure costs and, accordingly, has
recorded a long-term liability for 50% of the estimated closure expense. It is anticipated that post-closure
costs will be paid out of the Solid Waste Fund to the extent that funds are available with any excess costs
being funded using long-term borrowing.

a multi-employer public employee retirement fund administered by the Kentucky County Employees

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
Plan member and employer contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are
due, pursuant to formal commitments. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the terms of each plan.
Funding - The Appointive Employee’s Pension Fund Board and the City of Paducah Police and
Firefighter’s Pension Fund Board are responsible for establishing or amending contribution rates and
requirements for their respective plans.
Administrative Costs - Administrative costs are funded from investment earnings.
Valuation of Investments - Investments are reported at fair value. Investments are composed of

Police and Firefighters’ Pension Fund
Plan Description: PFPF is a single-employer defined benefit plan. On August 1, 1988, the plan was
closed to new entrants and current active duty police and firemen of the City were given a choice of
remaining in this plan or transferring into the CERS. Effective August 1, 1988, the PFPF covered 21
active duty members; all other active duty members elected coverage under CERS. PFPF provides
retirement, disability and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. These benefits are
determined by Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) sections 95.851 to 95.884. PFPF does not issue a
separate, stand-alone report. Accordingly, the plan financial statements are included in this audit report.

Appointive Employees’ Pension Fund
Plan Description: AEPF is a single-employer defined benefit plan which covers past appointed
employees of the City. In 1975, the City froze admission of new entrants into the plan. There are no
active participants in the plan at June 30, 2009. AEPF does not issue a separate, stand-alone report.
Accordingly, the plan financial statements are included in this audit report.
Contributions: Since there are only retired employees and beneficiaries receiving benefits, the City
expects little or no additional pension obligation. The City has pledged to maintain benefits and the
financial soundness of the plan by appropriations from the General Fund, as necessary.
Funding: The schedule of funded status and funding progress can be found on page 90, which contains
trend information about the changes in actuarial value of the plan assets relative to the actuarially
determined liability for benefits over time.
Components of annual pension cost for AEPF are as follows:

and death benefits to plan members. Retirement benefits may be extended to beneficiaries of plan
members under certain circumstances. Cost-of-living adjustments are provided at the discretion of the
State legislature. Under the provisions of Kentucky Revised Statute 61.645, the Board of Trustees of
Kentucky Retirement Systems administers the CERS. Kentucky Retirement Systems issues a publicly
available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for

1260 Louisville Road, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601-6124 or by calling 1-502-564-4646.
Funding Policy: Hazardous position employees are required to contribute 8% to the plan and
nonhazardous position employees are required to contribute 5% of their creditable compensation by
State statute. The City is required by the same statute to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to
pay benefits when due. For the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the City contributed

13.50%, 16.17%, and 13.19%, respectively, of each nonhazardous employee’s creditable compensation.
These actuarially determined rates are set by the Board of Trustees of Kentucky Retirement Systems.

During fiscal year 1999, the City established the Health Insurance Fund (an internal service fund) to
account for and finance employee medical costs relating to the City’s employee self-insured medical
benefit plan that went into effect as of July 1, 1999. The health insurance provides coverage for up to
$150,000 for each covered individual. The City purchases commercial insurance (reinsurance) for claims
in excess of the coverage provided per individual or in excess of the maximum aggregate limit, which is
based on a formula that considers group census and anticipated claims. As of June 30, 2009, that number
was $2,572,801. Self-insurance costs are accrued based on claims reported within 90 days of the balance
sheet date as well as an estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. The total accrued liability

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
Honorable William F. Paxton, Mayor
Members of the Board of Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Paducah, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which collectively
comprise the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
December 22, 2009. We conducted our audit 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of
Paducah, Kentucky's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City of Paducah, Kentucky's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency 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 misstatements on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
adversely affects the City of Paducah, Kentucky's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than
a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City of Paducah, Kentucky 's financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the City of Paducah, Kentucky's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or
detected by the City of Paducah, Kentucky's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
-140-
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s financial statements
are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended for the information and use of the Board of Commissioners of the City of Paducah,
Kentucky, management, others within the organization, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through
entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable
to Each Major Program and On Internal Control Over
Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133
Honorable William F. Paxton, Mayor
Members of the Board of Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of Paducah, Kentucky, with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that
are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2009. The City of Paducah,
Kentucky’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the
City of Paducah, Kentucky’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Paducah,
Kentucky’s compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal
program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City of Paducah
Kentucky’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. Our
audit does not provide a legal determination of the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s compliance with those
requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Paducah, Kentucky complied, in all material respects, with the requirements
referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Paducah, Kentucky, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to
federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Paducah, Kentucky’s
internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major
federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
compliance, 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 City of Paducah, Kentucky's
internal control over compliance.
-142-
A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance 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 noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely
basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely
affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of federal program that is more than inconsequential
will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Commissioners of the City of
Paducah, Kentucky, management, others within the organization, and federal awarding agencies and pass-
