INTRODUCTORY SECTION
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
December 21, 2018
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,
2018. 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, 2018,
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 and cultural center. 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.

Economic Development Activities
Paducah Economic Development (PED) 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, PED
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, PED 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.
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, PED began assembling property to establish Riverport West, an industrial park with rail and river
access in western McCracken County. So far, 229 acres have been purchased.
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.
The availability of higher education in the area is continuing to flourish. West Kentucky Community and
Technical College (WKCTC), formerly known as Paducah Community College, is 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. In 2010, a new 65,000 square feet Emergency Technology Center was opened, offering industrial
and manufacturing technologies, engineering technology, as well as business and industry training and
information technology programs. This is the first state supported new building to be constructed on the
WKCTC campus in over 20 years. In 2011, Murray State University entered into an agreement with the
City, McCracken County, and Paducah Economic Development to construct an approximately 40,000
square foot educational building to serve as their Paducah campus. Classes began at the Paducah campus
in 2014.
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 650 beds for medical needs.
The two largest hospitals, together, employ over 3,000 persons.
- 3 -
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. City parks provide areas for baseball, softball, golf, football, tennis, disc golf, footgolf,
skate boarding, soccer, hiking 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 180-
year-old historic neighborhood. The LowerTown Art and Music Festival is an outdoor-juried show in its
16th year. The weekend exhibits the work of local artists and includes jazz, salsa, zydeco and blues
music, as well as food from area restaurants.
Started in 2004, the Rivers Edge International Film Festival is a four-day event built around the showing
of independent film 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. A second annual show began in
September 2017, which had an estimated 15,000 in attendance.
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 40,000 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 fifteenth year for the
event. Although the event is free, volunteers collect more than $40,000 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 Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center for the Performing Arts 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 supplement this community
resource.
THE GOVERNMENT
Paducah operates under a City Manager plan 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 332 full-time employees as of June 30, 2018. 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 City has one component unit that has been presented as a discrete unit to emphasize that it is legally
separate from the City. Paducah Water Works is included in the City’s financial statements because of its
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; 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.
- 5 -
Internal Control
In developing and evaluating the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal controls. Because the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits to be derived, the objective
of these internal controls is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the financial
statements are free of any material misstatements. 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 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. 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 FY2018, one 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 it policy to contribute the normal cost as well as the minimum actuarially sound contribution
annually that would arise from the fund being in a deficit position as of the actuarial date. For FY2018
this contribution was $376 thousand. This amount was $435 thousand in FY2017.
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: community redevelopment, economic development,
infrastructure capital investment, and property tax relief. During the FY2018 budget process, the
Commission reviewed numerous decision packages proposed for the Investment Fund Budget;
expenditures totaling approximately $5.5 million were appropriated.
The City has numerous infrastructure/capital items that will affect the long-term financial planning
process. The following projects are examples of future considerations facing the City:
Floodwall Restoration. The 12.5-mile long floodwall and levee system protecting a large portion of the
Paducah-McCracken area exceeds 70 years of age. Its age has marginalized its electrical and mechanical
components well beyond their 50 year useful design life; therefore, it is in need of necessary repairs and
upgrades. In FY2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a Feasibility Report, which
recommended a comprehensive reconstruction, rehabilitation, and restoration project to improve the
- 6 -
reliability and restore the system performance of the original floodwall construction. It is anticipated the
USACE will cover 65% of the expenses incurred and the City will be responsible for the remaining 35%
by payment or credited by in-kind services. Pump stations #7 and #11 are currently under construction
through USACE for a total bid amount of $3.7 million. Pump station #2 is currently under construction
through the City for a bid amount of $4.9 million. Pump station #9 has been completed through the City
as well, with the construction being performed in-house by the City. The remainder of the project will be
released by USACE through either one or two bid packages in the 2019 calendar year, and design work is
being finalized on these final phases though USACE in-house design services. Based on USACE revised
authorization, it is still estimated that the City’s portion of the overall project costs is approximately $10.9
million. The City is expected to receive in-kind credits from the work performed on Pump Stations #2
and #9, as well as through professional services the City has acquired on behalf of USACE during their
design of the second phase of the project.
Storm Water Master Plan. In March 2017, the City Commission approved an ordinance to execute an
agreement for professional engineering, consulting, and related services for the development of a
comprehensive storm water master plan (CSMP). The CSMP was completed in the fall of 2018. It
identified 23 problem areas and analyzed solutions for ten priority flood areas, including the analysis of
flood mitigation alternatives, a priority ranking of projects along with a benefit cost analysis, and the
development of a capital project program. Phase 2 of this project has now been initiated to determine the
utility rate needed to launch a storm water management program. This rate would cover capital, operation
maintenance, life cycle replacement, and permit requirements. This phase is expected to be completed in
winter of 2019. Decisions made once this process is complete will require long-term financial planning
consideration.
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
increased slightly in comparison to the prior year, with 28,128 persons employed (McCracken County) as
of June 30, 2018. The June 2018 unemployment rate was 6.4% (McCracken County), which is a decrease
from 6.8% in the prior year, and exceeds the June 2018 federal unemployment rate of 4.0%.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Kentucky Revised Statute 91A-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
Kemper CPA Group, 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, 2017. This was the twenty-
seventh consecutive year that the City achieved this prestigious award.
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.
- 7 -
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 Kemper CPA Group, LLP. We also thank the Mayor, City Manager, and City Commission for their
interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and
progressive manner.

Honorable Brandi Harless, Mayor

City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
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, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial
statements of the following component unit: Paducah Water Works, which is presented as a discretely presented
component unit in the statement of net position and statement of activities. These financial statements were audited by
another auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for
Paducah Water Works, discretely presented component unit, is based solely on the reports of the other 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, 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 discretely presented component unit, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Paducah, Kentucky, as of June 30, 2018, and
the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund and the Special Revenue Investment Fund for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and
analysis and pension and other post employment benefits trust fund schedules on pages 13-28 and 102-109 be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City of Paducah, Kentucky’s basic financial statements. The introductory section on pages 1-10; budgetary comparison
schedules, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison schedules for the
nonmajor funds, nonmajor enterprise financial statements, internal service and fiduciary financial statements on pages
110-129; and statistical section on pages 130-149, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards on pages 150-151 is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and is also
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The budgetary comparison schedules, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary
comparison schedules for the nonmajor funds, nonmajor enterprise financial statements, internal service and fiduciary
financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison schedules, combining and individual nonmajor
fund, budgetary comparison for the nonmajor funds, nonmajor enterprise, internal service and fiduciary financial
statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2018
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, 2018. 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 29-101) 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 $26 million at the close of the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
Total net position decreased $3,128,450.
At fiscal year end, City governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $29.7
million. Approximately 15% of this total amount, $4.4 million, is restricted or committed for
highways/streets and capital improvements. Assigned fund balance comprises 24% of combined
fund balance; the majority of which is set aside for capital improvements.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned General Fund balance was $17.7 million and is
available for spending at the City’s discretion. Cash makes up approximately $12.6 million. When
compared to final total appropriations, the General Fund cash balance is 36%.
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 Position presents information on all City assets and liabilities, with the
difference between assets and liabilities reported as net position. Monitoring increases and/or
decreases in net position 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 position changed
during the fiscal year. All net position 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.
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, park and recreation, planning and development, and interest on long-term
debt. Business-type activities of the City include Solid Waste, Section Eight Housing, Civic Center,
and the Transient Boat Dock.
- 14 -
Government-wide financial statements include not only the City (the primary government), but also
a legally separate Paducah Water Works (component unit) for which the City is financially
accountable. Financial information for the component unit is reported separately from the financial
information presented for the primary government itself.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 29-32 of this report.
B. Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is 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 nine (9) 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, Special
Revenue Investment, and Debt Service Funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data
from the other five (5) 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 110-120.
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 35-36) and Exhibit 6 (pages 39-40)
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 33-40 of this report.
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 Transient Boat Dock. Civic Center receives subsidy from the General
Fund.
- 15 -
The City’s component unit enterprise is the Paducah Water Works. This component unit,
which has its own board of directors, is also an enterprise fund and is shown on pages 29-32.
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 121-123 of this report. Individual data for the
internal service funds is likewise presented in the form of combining statements on pages 124-
126 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 three (3) fiduciary funds (Appointive Employees’ Pension, Police and Firefighters’
Retirement, and Cemetery and Parks Trusts Funds) are presented in the form of combining
statements on pages 90-91 and 127-128 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 51-101 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 pension obligation to its
employees as well budgetary comparison schedules for the general and major special revenue funds.
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 112-129 of this report.
III. Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial
position. City assets exceeded liabilities by $26 million as of June 30, 2018.
For FY2018, the largest portion of the City’s net position ($58 million) 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 position ($2.1 million) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on
how they may be used.
- 16 -
In FY2015 the City implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No.
68. It requires that the City report and fully disclose its share of net pension liability, which is $58.9
million as of June 30, 2018. In FY2018 the City implemented GASB 75, which requires that the
City report and fully disclose its share of other post-employment benefit liabilities. This generated a
$20 million liability as of June 30, 2018. Disclosing the City’s participation in the County
Employee Retirement System (CERS) for pension and other post-employment benefits has been the
primary factor in driving the City’s unrestricted net position to a negative $34.1 million in FY2018.
As of June 30, 2018, the City reports positive balances of total net position, both for the government
as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

The exhibit below charts the City’s total net position for the past ten years (as previously mentioned,
prior years have not been restated for implementation of GASB 68 and 75 in this discussion).
After several years of keeping a level net position, the City has experienced significant fluctuations
over the past six years. Substantial increases occurred in fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017,
which resulted from heavy capital development that was funded primarily with grant funding.
Projects during these fiscal years included the completion of the boat launch, Riverfront
Development Phases 1A & 1B, the Olivet Church Road project, and Phase 1 of the Jim & Pat
Brockenborough Rotary Health Park.
The City’s net position decreased significantly in FY2015 due to the implementation of GASB 68.
The City’s participation in the County Employee Retirement System (CERS) led to the inclusion of
an initial noncurrent liability in excess of $30 million. Net position took another hit in FY2018 due
to the implementation of GASB 75. The City’s participation in the Kentucky Retirement Systems
Insurance Fund has generated a noncurrent liability for other post-employment benefits in the
amount of $20 million FY2018.
A. Analysis of the City’s Operations
The following table provides a summary of the City’s operations for the years ended June 30, 2018
and 2017. Governmental activities decreased the City’s net position by $3,092,434 and business-
type activities decreased the City’s net position by $36,016.

- 19 -
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.
The graph below depicts the breakdown of revenue by source for fiscal year 2018.
- 20 -
In fiscal year 2018, the City derived approximately 85% of its revenue from taxes/licenses.
Occupational licenses, which include payroll withholding tax, business licenses, and insurance
premium tax is the largest source of income to the City, totaling $30 million. This category of
revenue increased 1.4% from fiscal year 2017. Insurance premium tax carried the majority of the
increase, growing individually by 6%. Payroll tax remained fairly flat, increasing by just over 1%.
Business licenses, which were flat last year, decreased by nearly 2% in FY2018. None of these
changes appear to be the result of one significant taxpayer’s activity, but the result of multiple
entities having modest increases/decreases. Property taxes continue to be a stable source of revenue,
comprising nearly 12% of total revenue in FY2018.
C. Business-Type Activities
The chart below shows the year’s revenues and expenses 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. Only one of the business-type activities reflected these results for
FY2018 – the Solid Waste Fund, with income before contributions and transfers of $609,346.
For fiscal year 2018, business-type activities as a whole had a decrease in net position of $36,016.
Beginning in FY2012, an annual transfer is made from Solid Waste to the General Fund. The Phase
II Storm Water Act requires that the City make an effort to curb solid waste from the landfill/sewer
system. As a result, three full time street sweepers and eighteen right of way maintenance
employees (one day a week) have been assigned to this program. Because these are General Fund
employees, the Solid Waste Fund is making monthly interfund transfers to the General Fund to
compensate for their use. The total amount transferred for FY2018 was $360,000.
Analysis of the remaining business-type activities is included in Section IV-B of this report.
- 21 -
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 $29.7 million. In FY2011, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The redefined categories of fund balance are
described below:
Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required
to be maintained intact indefinitely. For example, at the end of the fiscal year, the City had
$471,135 of real property held in inventory for urban development.
Restricted fund balance has external limitations on use that may be imposed by creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations. For example, at the end of the fiscal year,
the City had $629,440 of municipal aid funds, which are restricted in use for paving by the
State of Kentucky
Committed fund balance has self-imposed limitations enacted by the highest level of decision
making that requires formal action at the same level to remove the limitations. The City had
$2,310,621 in fund balance committed for capital improvements in the Investment Fund.
Assigned fund balance has limitations resulting from intended use; formal action is not
required. Approximately 24% of the City’s fund balance is assigned for various purposes,
including capital improvements, public safety, and debt service.
Unassigned fund balance is the total fund balance in the General Fund in excess of the other
fund balance categories.
- 22 -
Approximately 60% of total fund balance, $17.7 million is unassigned General Fund fund balance,
which is available for spending at the government’s discretion but only up to the amount represented
by cash. At year-end there was $12.6 million available as General Fund cash; the balance is tied up
in other assets including accounts receivable and property taxes collectible. City fiscal policy
(Ordinance 2017-06-8487) requires that an amount not less than 10% of the General Fund’s
budgeted expenditures remain undesignated in the fund balance, or $3.5 million, which leaves $9.1
million as unreserved for fiscal year 2018.
As a measure of General Fund liquidity, readers may compare unassigned (formerly reported as
“unreserved”) fund balance to total General Fund expenditures. Unassigned General Fund fund
balance ($17.7 million) represents 51% of expenditures and transfers out ($34.7 million). This has
remained stable for the last ten years, as illustrated in the table below.
The Investment Fund had a fund balance of $2.3 million, all of which is committed for capital
projects. The Investment Fund was authorized by the City Commission in fiscal year 2005-2006 as
a special revenue fund whose use is restricted to property tax reduction, 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. For FY2018, the fund was originally budgeted at a $250 thousand deficit to spend
down accumulated unreserved fund balance. The actual decrease in fund balance of $77 thousand
was due to a budgeted debt service expenditure for a bond issue that was delayed until FY2019.
Fund balance in the General Capital Improvements fund decreased by approximately $1.6 million
from the prior year to $6.3 million. The decrease is due to the completion of capital projects in
FY2018 for which funds were set aside in prior years. Capital improvement projects for the year are
discussed in Section VI-A of this report.
B. Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same information found in the government-wide financial
statements but in more detail.
- 23 -
Net position of the respective proprietary funds are:
Solid Waste $2,613,594
Section Eight Housing (247,369)
Civic Center 105,305
Transient Boat Dock 12,019
Combined total net asset change for the four funds was a decrease of $16 thousand, broken down as
follows: Solid Waste ($212 thousand increase), Section Eight Housing ($150 thousand decrease),
Civic Center ($86 thousand decrease), and Transient Boat Dock ($8 thousand increase). The largest
proprietary fund, Solid Waste, was discussed under Business Type Activities (Section III-C).
FY2018 was the first year (partial) of operations for the Transient Boat Dock Fund. The 340 foot
transient boat dock opened for business in the fall of 2017. This new facility allows for the mooring
of several transient and local recreational boats with full City services, including power, water, and
sewer pump out. It also has the capacity to supply gasoline and diesel for refueling vessels.
V. General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Differences between the original budget and the final budget resulted in a $530 thousand decrease in
appropriations. This was largely due to an interfund transfer for $900 thousand that was
appropriated for the E911 CAD replacement project. This project was delayed until FY2019 and
subsequently funded through debt proceeds. This decrease was netted with an increase in
appropriations for a General Fund reserve transfers to the Capital Improvements Fund for renovation
of City Hall in the amount of $256,220.
Final appropriations (including operating transfers out) exceeded total actual expenditures by $821
thousand. Nearly half of that ($390 thousand) was due to salary slippage in various departments
from unfilled positions. Additionally, two funds that the General Fund operationally contributes to –
E911 and Fleet Maintenance – required less funding than anticipated.
Intergovernmental Expense of $331 thousand accounts for the pass-through of property taxes to the
Paducah Junior College. The College is technically not a taxing district, and the City levies this tax
on their behalf. The City does not include this account in its budgeting process.
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,
2018, is $66 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 2018, project and equipment additions totaled over $26.4 million, with $3.6
million of that attributed to Construction in Progress at year-end. Two very large projects that have
comprised Construction in Progress for multiple years were officially placed into service in FY2018
– Olivet Church Road and Riverfront Phase 1B. Those projects, along with some of the other
largest capital-type project additions, in terms of dollars in fiscal year 2018, are shown in the
following table:
- 24 -
Olivet Church Road Construction $9,663,647
Riverfront Phase 1B 8,602,026
Jim & Pat Brockenborough Rotary Health Park 763,461
City Hall Renovations – Phase 1 (Construction in Progress) 1,650,498
Storm Water Study (Construction in Progress) 733,825
E911 CAD Upgrade (Construction in Progress) 400,601
Refuse trucks & equipment 1,249,928
In the upcoming years, several street, economic development, riverfront development, and drainage
projects will continue and are estimated to cost several million dollars. Capital improvement projects
including infrastructure, City-owned facility improvements, continued neighborhood revitalization,
and street and sidewalk rehabilitation are among the projects to be addressed.

The City had no new debt issues during FY2018. Debt issues prior to July 1, 2017 are described
below:
Julian Carroll Convention Center Improvements. In January 2017, the City entered into an
agreement with Community Financial Services Bank in the amount of $3 million on behalf of
McCracken County to finance improvements to the Julian Carroll Convention Center.
Police/Firefighter Pension Fund Liability – Refinance. In November 2014, a $4.225 million
general obligation was issued to advance refund $3.845 of outstanding 2005 series bonds. The 2005
bonds were issued to finance the police and firefighters’ pension fund estimated pension liability.
Public Improvement Projects – Refinance. In May 2014, a $5.46 million general obligation was
issued to refund $5.545 million of outstanding 2010 series bonds. The 2010 bonds were issued to
finance several public improvement projects including a major park parking lot renovation and
several resurfacing projects, sports park property acquisition, pavilion acquisition, greenway trail
development, and the public portion of a hotel purchase.
Economic Development. In September 2013, $2.475 million in general obligation taxable bonds
were issued to finance a portion of construction of 1) improvements to a speculative building and 2)
an approximately 30,000 square foot building (TeleTech). Each of these buildings are being utilized
for separate economic development projects.
Public Pool Renovations. In September 2013, $1.12 million in general obligation bonds were issued
to finance Noble Park’s pool renovation project.
Murray State University (MSU) Agreement. In November 2011, the City entered into a general
obligation note in the amount of $2,674,093 with McCracken County and MSU to finance the
construction of an educational facility to be occupied by Murray State University.
Rental Building – Refinance. In August 2011, a $3.91 million bond obligation was issued to
advance refund $3.78 million of outstanding 2004 series bonds. The 2004 bonds were issued to
finance the construction of a rental building in the Paducah Industrial Park West. The previous
agreement with McCracken County was renewed: 50% of the principal amount of the bonds was
issued on behalf of McCracken County, Kentucky.
Margaret Hank Building Agreement. In June 2011, the City entered into an agreement in the
amount of $188,533 with Margaret Hank Memorial Cumberland Presbyterian Church to finance the
acquisition of real property to be used for the development of an indoor recreational facility.
Convention and Performing Arts Center – Refinance. In August 2010, a $7.165 million general
obligation was issued to advance refund $6.725 million of outstanding 2001 series bonds. The 2001
bonds were issued to finance construction of the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center for the
Performing Arts and the expansion of the Julian Carroll Convention Center. The previous agreement
with McCracken County was renewed: 50% of the principal amount of the bond was issued on
- 26 -
behalf of McCracken County, Kentucky, and the County has issued the City a general obligation note
in a principal amount equal to 50% of the principal amount of the bonds.
Convention Center Renovation. In March 2009, McCracken County 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.
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.
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).
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 $269,774,088. The City’s latest bond rating
by Standard & Poor’s is AA-. The City has a relatively 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 2018, just over 1% 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 72-77.
VII. Other Potentially Significant Matters.
A. Post-employment Benefits. Over the years, the City’s contribution to the Kentucky Retirement
System (CERS) has seen a substantial rise in costs that has significantly impacted the City’s
operating budget. The table and graph below show the actual cost of the City’s contributions to
CERS for both Non-Hazardous and Hazardous employees for selected fiscal years 1998, 2008, and
2018.
CERS Employer Contributions
Non-Hazardous Hazardous
FY Rate Amount % Chg Rate Amount % Chg
1998 8.65% $489,327 18.69% $1,002,398
2008 16.17% $1,217,525 149% 33.87% $2,361,399 136%
2018 19.18% $1,668,320 37% 31.55% $2,914,035 23%
- 27 -
In early spring 2013, the State of Kentucky passed a pension reform bill (Senate Bill 2) to prevent
pension costs from escalating even higher. This legislation established a hybrid cash balance plan
for participants entering the plan after January 1, 2014, that provides a retirement benefit based on
an individual’s accumulated account balance. It also reset the amortization period to a new 30-year
period beginning with FY2015. Other highlights include the elimination of automatic cost of living
increases for retirees and provisions for retirement “spiking.” However, employer contribution rates
will not differ for employees beginning participation after January 1, 2014. The contribution rates
will be determined based on all CERS membership, and any excess funds contributed on new
employees will be used to pay down the system’s unfunded liability.
During the 2018 Regular Session of the General Assembly, Senate Bill 151 was passed in an attempt
to further reduce the State’s pension liability. Some of the changes include adjusting retirement
formulas, creating an optional 401(a) defined contribution plan for future employees, and
implementing additional anti-spiking provisions. Prior to this legislation being passed, the KRS
board set FY2019 contribution rates at 28.05% for non-hazardous and 47.86% for hazardous
employees. Because SB 151 did not include the strong measures necessary to bring the retirement
system to a healthy position, the rates set by KRS remained unchanged, and participants in the plan
were faced with substantial budget crises – for some smaller entities it even presented going concern
issues. In order to provide rate relief for the employers participating in CERS, House Bill 362 was
passed. This Bill states that the employer contribution rates established by the board for CERS
payable on or after July 1, 2018 and until June 30, 2028, for the pension and health insurance funds
shall not increase more than 12% per year. This resulted in adjusted contribution rate of 21.48% and
35.34% for non-hazardous and hazardous employees, respectively, for FY2019.
Although HB 362 and the reduced rates for FY2019 provided some much needed relief for the City,
the future of the plan and long-term effects on the City’s operations are of utmost concern. As
indicated in the chart above, the City paid $4.6 million in contributions for FY2018. Should the
future rates be set to result in the capped 12% increase each year, the City will be contributing $7.4
million annually by FY2023. An additional provision of SB 151 requires the Public Pension
Oversight Board (PPOB) to establish an advisory committee to study the benefits and drawbacks of
separating CERS from KRS or restructuring the administration of the systems within KRS. This
advisory committee shall submit recommendations to PPOB on or before December 1, 2019. Along
with the uncertainty of the committee’s findings and potential actions that follow, in June 2018,
Franklin Circuit Judge Shepherd ruled that Senate Bill 151 is unenforceable because the legislative
process violated certain provisions of the Kentucky Constitution. This ruling has been appealed to
the Kentucky Supreme Court.
- 28 -
B. Police & 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 Fund still remains in an unfunded position due to these events. The July
2018 actuary study shows that the PFPF unfunded pension liability is approximately $3.3 million as
the following chart displays.
Since the 2009 drop, the City has contributed approximately $400,000 annually to meet the
actuary’s recommended amount toward the unfunded pension liability. The valuation as of July 1,
2018, indicates the minimum actuarially sound contribution for FY2019 will be $368,373.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
General Statement
The City of Paducah (City) complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to
governmental units. This requires the use of the accrual basis of accounting for government-wide
financial statements and proprietary funds financial statements and a modified accrual basis of accounting
for the governmental funds financial statements. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting
principles. 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. The pension fund is reported as a fiduciary fund and does not issue separate financial statements.
Discretely Presented Component Units
The component unit column in the basic financial statements includes the financial data of the City’s other
component unit. It is reported in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City.
The following component unit is included in the reporting entity because of its financial relationship with
the City; and, the City is able to impose its will on the organization.
Paducah Water Works – The City of Paducah Water Works Commission is appointed by the Mayor
and City Commission. The rates for user charges and bond issuance authorizations are subject to
approval by the City Commission of the City of Paducah.
Complete financial statements of the individual component unit can be obtained from its respective
administrative office at the following location:

Related Organizations
City officials are also responsible for appointing the members of boards of other organizations; but, the
City’s accountability for these organizations do not extend beyond appointing authority. The
organizations listed below are notable related organizations which have not been included as component
units in the City’s report.
Transit Authority of the City of Paducah – The Transit Authority is a legally separate entity that
provides for transit operations both within and outside the City. The Transit Authority is not financially
accountable to the City.
Paducah Housing Authority – The Paducah Housing Authority (PHA) is a legally separate entity that
provides for construction, operation, and management of low income housing projects within the City.
PHA is a legally separate entity and is not financially accountable to the City.

electric utilities to residents in the Paducah area. PPS is not financially accountable to the City.
Joint Sewer Agency – As of July 1, 1999, the assets and liabilities of the Wastewater/Stormwater Fund
were transferred to the Paducah-McCracken County Joint Sewer Agency pursuant to a municipal order
dated June 29, 1999. The Paducah-McCracken County Joint Sewer Agency is a legally separate entity
and is not financially accountable to the City.
Forest Hills Village, Inc. – The Corporation’s purpose is to manage City of Paducah properties known
as “Forest Hills Housing Development”. The City and Corporation have a lease agreement detailing
the terms and conditions of operations. Forest Hills Village, Inc. is a legally separate entity and is not
financially accountable to the City.
Paducah Junior College, Incorporated (PJC) – The College is a part of the University of Kentucky’s
Community College System which is now administered by the Kentucky Community and Technical
College System. Under this system, the Community College System receives the monies from student
tuition, fees and other related income and provides the financing for the operational budget of the
College. A tax levied and collected by the City is a primary revenue source for the College. These
funds, as well as gifts and grants made to the College, may be used for the acquisition or improvement
of property or to finance programs beyond the level of those normally provided by community colleges
in the University of Kentucky system. PJC is a legally separate entity and is not financially
accountable to the City.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position 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, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources,
fund equity, revenues, and expenditure or 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.
Special Revenue Investment Fund – To account for restricted funds from employee license fee used for
economic development, community redevelopment and infrastructure capital investments within
Paducah.
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.
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.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
Basis of Presentation
Fund Financial Statements
Additionally, the City reports the internal service funds which are used to account for the fleet
management services, property and casualty insurance, and self-funded health insurance provided to
departments of the City.
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 Employees' 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 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 Position 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 position (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 position.
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 Position 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.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies:
Basis of Accounting
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.
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.
Unearned revenue
The City reports unearned revenue on its government-wide statement of net position and the fund financial
statements. Unearned revenues arise when potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable” and
“available” criteria for recognition in the current period. 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 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. Allocations are charged to
functions based on use by weighted-average methodology.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
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:
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 departments and their line
items; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures 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 the modified accrued basis of accounting.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for
expenditures 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, 2018.
Cash and Investments
The City Commission adopted formal deposit and investment policies in January 2001. These policies
apply to all City funds not contained in public trusts. The pension trust fund has investment policies
separately approved by their oversight board. The private purpose trust has not adopted a deposit and
investment policy.
For the purpose of the Statement of Net Position, “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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Receivables
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
receivables. Business-type activities report utilities and interest earnings as their major receivables.
Interlocal note receivables include an outstanding loan of $911,375 at the end of the fiscal year due from
the Greater Paducah Economic Development Council, Inc. related to development and construction of an
intermodal industrial park. The note is non-interest bearing, secured by real property within the industrial
park, and due on demand. The City expects full collection of the receivable.
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, 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. 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 receivables include 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 Position. 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 and
fuel of $70,065 held for consumption and re-sell and real property of $471,135 held for urban
development. The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual items are consumed or sold for
urban development rather than when purchased.
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.

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Capital Assets
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 and work of art capital assets received in a service concession
arrangement which are recorded at their acquisition 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, $2,500 or more after July 1,
1999, $3,000 or more after June 24, 2009 and $5,000 or more after June 30, 2016. Prior to July 1, 2002,
governmental funds’ infrastructure assets were not capitalized. These assets have been valued at estimated
historical cost.
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 10-30 Years
Buildings 30 Years
Building improvements 10-30 Years
Infrastructure 10-30 Years
Equipment 3-10 Years
Furnishings and fixtures 5-7 Years
Vehicles 7-10 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.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Government-wide Statement
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents the consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as
an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The government has two items that qualify for
reporting in the category. These are the deferred charge on refunding and deferred pension and other post-
employment benefits (OPEB) related outflows reported in the statements of net position. A deferred
charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition
price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
The deferred pension and OPEB related outflows result from pension and OPEB contributions subsequent
to the measurement date of the pension and OPEB plans and various changes resulting from actuarial
pension and OPEB measurement. The pension and OPEB contribution amounts are deferred and
recognized as a component of the change in pension plan liability in the next measurement period. The
various changes resulting from actuarial pension and OPEB measurements are deferred and amortized in
future periods as a component of the pension and OPEB expense.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents
an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two type of items reported in this category. These are
property taxes levied during the fiscal year for the next fiscal year and inflows related to the City’s pension
and OPEB plans that qualify for reporting in this category – deferred pension and OPEB related inflows.
The various changes resulting from actuarial pension and OPEB measurements are deferred and amortized
in future periods as a component of the pension and OPEB expense.

Fund Financial Statements
The government has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of account,
which qualifies for reporting as deferred inflows of resources. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue,
is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable
revenues for one source: property taxes. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources
in the period that the amount becomes available.
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 by applicable
bond covenants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Accrued Leave
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 Employees’
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.
Equity Classifications
Government-wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net invested in capital assets – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes,
or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those
assets.
b. Restricted net position – Consists of net assets with constraints placed on the use either by (1)
external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments;
or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net position – All other net assets that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net
invested in capital assets.”

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Fund Statements
Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance and displayed in five components:
a. Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be
maintained intact indefinitely.
b. Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purpose stipulated
by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by the City Commissioners through the approval of City ordinances. Commitments
may be changed or lifted only by the City Commissioners making the same formal action that
imposed the constraint originally.
d. Assigned fund balance comprises the amounts intended to be used for a specific purpose. Intent can
be expressed by the City Commissioners or the City Finance Officer, as stated in the Finance
Department Accounting Policy (FIN-20). No formal action is required.
e. Unassigned fund balance is the residual balance not contained in nonspendable fund balance or
restricted fund balance or committed fund balance or assigned fund balance. The General Fund is
the only governmental fund which reports an unassigned fund balance.
When both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted fund balance first, then unrestricted fund balance. Furthermore, committed fund balances are
reduced first, followed by assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are
incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be
used.
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.
Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that
are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and
as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions are
reported as transfers.
Program Revenues
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services,
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than
as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Operating and Non-Operating Revenues and Expenses – Proprietary Funds
Operating revenues and expenses for proprietary funds are those that result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods and/or services. It also includes all revenue and expenses not related to
capital and related financing, noncapital financing, or investing activities. Operating expenses for the
enterprise and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Expenditures/Expenses
In the government-wide financial statements, expenses are classified by function for both governmental
and business-type activities.
In the fund financial statements, expenditures are classified as follows:
Governmental Funds – by function: Current (further classified by character)
Debt Service
Capital Outlay
Proprietary Fund – by operating and nonoperating
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report expenditures of financial resources.
Proprietary funds report expenses relating to use of economic resources.
Interfund Transfers
Permanent reallocation of resources between funds of the reporting entity are classified as interfund
transfers. For the purposes of the Statement of Activities, all interfund transfers between individual
governmental funds have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
By its nature as a local government unit, the City and its component units are subject to various federal,
state, and local laws and contractual regulations. An analysis of the City’s compliance with significant
laws and regulations and demonstration of its stewardship over City resources follows.

Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
County Employees Retirement System (CERS) and additions to/deductions from fiduciary net position have
been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the pensions. For this purpose, benefit payments

Note 2 - Property Taxes:
The City bills and collects its own property taxes. The City elects to use the annual property assessment
prepared by McCracken County as its base to apply the property tax rate. According to Kentucky Revised
Statutes, the assessment date for the City must conform to the assessment date of McCracken County and
the annual increase in the property tax levy cannot exceed 4%. City property tax revenues are recorded as
a receivable when assessed because the City has an enforceable legal claim to the resources. At this time,
the receivable is offset by unearned revenue. Property tax revenues are recognized during the period for
which they are levied.
The due dates and collection period for all property taxes, exclusive of vehicle taxes, for the fiscal year

Deposits
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits may not
be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside party.
The City's investment policy requires all investments be made in accordance with applicable legal
requirements with consideration of investment safety. Accordingly, the City maintains collateral
agreements with its financial institutions. Deposits are 101% secured with collateral valued at market or
par, whichever is lower, less the amount of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance (FDIC).
The City Commission approves and designates a list of authorized depository institutions based on
evaluation of solicited responses and certifications provided by financial institutions and recommendations
of an evaluation committee and/or Finance Director.
Deposits of the City's reporting entity are insured or collateralized with securities held by the City, its
agent, or by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the name of City. During the
year ended June 30, 2018, the City's only cash and cash equivalents were demand deposits. At year end,

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 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.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset
or liability – either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs – market data are not available and are developed using the best
information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an
asset or liability.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

rated.
(2) Maturities are provided for debt instruments with maturity dates. NA indicates not applicable.
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.
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.

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.

and a predictable and dependent source of current income. Fixed income investments are flexibly
allocated among maturities of different lengths.

accordance with Kentucky Revised Statutes. The trust provides for an investment manager who has full
discretion of assets allocated to him subject to the provisions of the trust agreement. The trust invests in
domestic and international mutual funds, fixed income securities, U.S. treasury securities, and cash and

Thirteen 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. Termination benefits of $281,108 were paid for the year ended June
30, 2018.
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 an 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, 2018, $201,357 of payments was 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, 2018, 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.

Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Plan
County Employees’ Retirement System
Cost of living adjustments are provided at the discretion of the General Assembly. Retirements is based
on a factor of the number of years’ service and hire date multiplied by the average of the highest five
years’ earnings. Reduced benefits are based on factors of both of these components. Participating
employees become eligible to receive the health insurance benefit after at least 180 months of service.
Death benefits are provided for both death after retirement and death prior to retirement. Death benefits
after retirement are $5,000 in lump sum. Five years’ service is required for death benefits prior to
retirement and the employee must have suffered a duty-related death. The decedent’s beneficiary will
receive the higher of the normal death benefit and $10,000 plus 25% of the decedent’s monthly final rate
of pay and any dependent child will receive 10% of the decedent’s monthly final rate of pay up to 40% for
all dependent children. Five years’ service is required for non-service related disability benefits.
Plan Funding – State statute requires active members to contribute % of creditable compensation based
on the tier:

Actuarial assumptions - The total pension liability in the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation was
determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the

Projected salary increases 2.00% 2.00%
Investment rate of return, net of
investment expense & inflation

For CERS, Mortality rates for the period after service retirement are according to the RP-2000
Combined Mortality Table projected with Scale BB to 2013 for all active and retired employees and
beneficiaries. The RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected with Scale BB to 2013 set back four
years for males is used for the period after disability retirement. The actuarial assumptions used were
based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2013.
For CERS, the long-term expected return on plan assets is reviewed as part of the regular experience
studies prepared every five years. The most recent analysis, performed for the period covering fiscal
years 2008 through 2013, is outlined in a report dated April 30, 2014. Several factors are considered in
evaluating the long-term rate of return assumption including long-term historical data, estimates
inherent in current market data, and a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of
expected future real rates of return (expected return, net of investment expense and inflation) were
developed by the investment consultant for each major asset class. These ranges were combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and then adding expected inflation. The capital market
assumptions developed by the investment consultant are intended for use over a 10-year horizon and
may not be useful in setting the long-term rate of return for funding pension plans which covers a
longer timeframe. The assumption is intended to be a long-term assumption and is not expected to
change absent a significant change in the asset allocation, a change in the inflation assumption, or a
fundamental change in the market that alters expected returns in future years.

These plans are closed to new members.
Benefits provided:
PFPF provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. These benefits are determined by Kentucky
Revised Statutes (KRS) sections 95.851 to 95.884. Retirement benefits for general plan members are
2½% of average salary times years of service up to and including 30 years. The maximum is 75% of
average salary. Average salary is the highest average salary of the member for any 3 consecutive years
of service. Retirement allowed any time after attainment of age 50, provided that at least 20 years of
service have been completed. Occupational disability benefits equal to 70% of the members’ final rate
of pay. Non-occupational disability benefits are available after completing 10 years of service and are
determined in a similar manner as retirement benefits subject to a maximum of 50% of average salary.
Surviving beneficiaries may receive death benefits per the terms of the plan. Benefit terms provide for
an annual cost-of-living adjustment up to 5% a year provided the adjustment is supportable on an
actuarially sound basis. Kentucky Revised Statute 95.859(2) provides that the widow’s minimum
benefit shall be increased by the same percentage as the increase in Social Security benefits, not to
exceed 5%.
AEPF provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Retirement allowed any time after attainment
of age 60, provided that at least 20 years of service have been completed. Retirement benefits for
general plan members are 50% of monthly salary at the time of retirement. Occupational disability
benefits equal to 50% of the members’ final rate of pay. Surviving beneficiaries may receive death
benefits per the terms of the plan. Effective January 1, 1998, all persons receiving benefits received a
one-time increase of 10%.
Funding policy:
PFPF - Plan members are required to contribute 8% of their annual covered salary. A member reserve
is established for member contributions, less amounts transferred to reserves for retirement and
disability and amounts refunded to terminated employees.
AEPF - 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.

Inflation rates adjustments 3.00% (2)
(1) The Aggregate Method does not identify or separately amortize the unfunded actuarial
liabilities. Information about funded status and funding progress is presented using the entry
age actuarial cost method for that purpose; and, that information presented is intended to serve
as a surrogate for the funding progress of the plan.
(2) The plan has no active participants. The pension cost for each year is determined as an
amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over the lesser of 10 years or the
weighted average of expected term of payment of plan benefits.
(3) 6.50% Effective July 1, 2018
Post-retirement mortality – The mortality rates for the plans were based as follows:
PFPF 1971 Group annuity mortality (GAM) table
UP-1984 table set forward 5 years for participants retiring due to disability
AEPF GAM 1983 Male
GAM 1983 Female
Rate of return – Investment return is anticipated to be the major source of additional funds for
payment of benefits. The assumed rate of return is a long-term average. The fund’s rate of return is
determined primarily by the asset allocation – the classes in which it is invested, and the
performance of the associated markets. For the July 1, 2018 PFPF plan year, the assumed rate of
return was 6.50%. For the AEPF July 1, 2018 plan year, the assumed rate of return was 6%.
Discount Rate – The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the
plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that City contributions
will be made equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution and the member
contribution. The pension plans’ fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate
of return on pension plans investment was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability as
of July 1, 2018 was as follows:
PFPF 6.50%
AEPF 6.00%

4.73% of non-hazardous covered payroll and 9.35% of hazardous covered payroll for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2018.
At June 30, 2018, the City reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net OPEB liability for the
CERS Insurance Trust. The collective net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, and the total
OPEB liability used to calculate the collective net OPEB liability was based on a projection of the City’s
long-term share of contributions to the OPEB plan relative to the projected contributions of all
participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2017, the City’s non-hazardous proportion
was 0.320983 percent and hazardous proportion was 1.640259 percent.
The amount recognized by the City as its proportionate share of the OPEB liability that was associated
with the District was as follows:

Actuarial assumptions – The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Investment rate of return 6.25%, net of OPEB plan investment expense, including
inflation.
Projected salary increases 3.05%
Inflation rate 2.30%
Real Wage Growth 0.50%
Wage Inflation 2.00%
Healthcare cost trend rates
Under 65 7.25% for FY 2017 decreasing to an ultimate rate of 4.05%
by FY 2031
Ages 65 and Older 5.10% for FY 2017 decreasing to an ultimate rate of 4.05%
by FY 2029
Municipal Bond Index Rate 3.56%
Discount Rate 5.84%
Single Equivalent Interest Rate 5.84%, net of OPEB plan investment expense, including
inflation.
Mortality rates used for active members is RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected with scale BB to
2013 (multiplied by 50% for males and 30% for females). For healthy retired members and beneficiaries,
the mortality table used is RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected with scale BB to 2013 (set-back
for one year for females). The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table projected with scale BB to 2013 (set-
back four years for males) is used for the period after disability retirement.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a log-normal
distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future
real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

*Modeled as 50% High Yield and 50% bank Loans.
Discount rate - The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 5.84%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the
current contribution rates and the employer contributions will be made at statutorily required rates. Based
on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the
total OPEB liability.
The following table presents the City’s proportionate share of the collective net OPEB liability of the
System, calculated using the discount rate of 5.84%, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the

Note 13 – Restatement of Net Position:
Effective July 1, 2017, the City was required to adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions” (GASB 75). GASB 75 replaced the requirements of GASB 45, “Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions” and GASB 57, “OPEB Measurements by
Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-Employer Plans”, as they relate to governments that provide other
postemployment benefits (OPEB) through plans administered as trusts or similar arrangements that meet
certain criteria. GASB 75 requires governments providing defined benefit OPEB to recognize their long-
term obligation for OPEB benefits as a liability to more comprehensively and comparably measure the
annual costs of OPEB benefits. Cost-sharing governmental employers, such as the City, are required to
report a net OPEB liability, OPEB expense and OPEB-related assets and liabilities based on their
proportionate share of the collective amounts for all governments in the plan.

information, the beginning net OPEB liability was adjusted to reflect the retrospective application. The
adjustment resulted in a $11,950,013 reduction in beginning net position on the Statement of Activities

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND
ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Brandi Harless, Mayor
Members of the Board of Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States, the financial statements of the 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, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise City of Paducah, Kentucky’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 21, 2018.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies
and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. We did identify
one deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs that we
consider to be a significant deficiency (#2018-001).
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Paducah, Kentucky’s financial statements are free
from 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 one instance of
noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and which is
described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item #2018-002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Honorable Brandi Harless, Mayor
Members of the Board of Commissioners
City of Paducah
Paducah, Kentucky
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Paducah, Kentucky’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the
OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s
major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2018. 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.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal
awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of
compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and
Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about 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 on compliance for each major federal program.
However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, City of Paducah, Kentucky, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the
year ended June 30, 2018.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of City of Paducah, Kentucky, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of
compliance, we considered City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal control over compliance with the types of
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each
major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform
Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Paducah, Kentucky’s internal control over
compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does
not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect
and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material
weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in
internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We identified one deficiency in internal control over compliance, as described
in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item #2018-002 that we consider to be a significant
deficiency.
City of Paducah, KY response to the internal control over compliance finding identified in our audit is described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. City of Paducah, KY response was not subject to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
Effect: While the City’s planning department provided oversight assistance to the Section 8 Program and
the Program’s detail financial accounting function is outsourced to a third-party accounting firm
specializing in Section 8 Housing during this period, due to limited personnel actively involved in
oversight of the program, errors in financial reporting and compliance requirements may occur and not be
detected in a timely manner.
Recommendation: We recommend the City hire additional personnel or contract management of the
program to improve controls over the management of the Section 8 program.
City Response: Management became aware of this issue during the fiscal year as a result of significant
unanticipated staffing changes. At that time, additional staffing was provided by the Planning Department
to assist in administrative functions. In conjunction with that staffing allocation, the City began
negotiating with the Paducah Housing Authority to assume administration of the grant. Effective
December 1, 2018, the City contracted with the Paducah Housing Authority to provide administrative
management of the Section 8 voucher program.
