NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DUNE 30, 2014
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP includes all relevant
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. In the government -wide financial statements
and the fund financial statements for the proprietary funds, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989, have
been applied unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements, in which case GASB
prevails.
In June 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 45, Accounting and
Financial Reporting by Employers for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The City implemented this
new statement during the year ended June 30, 2011. Certain significant changes in the Statement include the
following:
1. Recognition of cost of postemployment benefits on the government -wide financial statements on the
accrual basis of accounting instead of the cash basis.
2. Provide information on current values of future benefits, associated liabilities, and summarize major plan
provisions and demographics.
Financial Reporting Entity
In determining the financial reporting entity, the City complies with the provisions for GASB statement No. 14, The
Financial Reporting Entity, and includes all component units of which the City appointed a voting majority of the
units' board; the City is either able to impose its will on the unit or a financial benefit or burden relationship exists.
Primary Government
The City of Kalispell is a political subdivision of the State of Montana governed by an elected Mayor and Council
duly elected by the registered voters of the City. The City utilizes the City Manager form of government. The City
is considered a primary government because it is a general purpose local government. Further, it meets the
following criteria: (a) It has a separately elected governing body (b) It is legally separate and (c) It is fiscally
independent from the State and other local governments.
The accompanying financial statements present the primary government and its component units, entities for which
the government is considered to be financially accountable. These financial statements include all funds, agencies,
boards, commissions and authorities which meet the criteria for inclusion in the City's financial report. These
criteria include financial accountability, appointment of a majority of the secondary government and the financial
benefit or burden derived by the primary government from a secondary government.
Discretely Presented Component Units
Discretely presented component units are separate legal entities that meet the component unit criteria described
above but do not meet the criteria for blending. The City's discretely presented component units, the Downtown
Business Improvement District and the Tourism Business Improvement District are legally separate organizations of
the City, but the City is financially accountable. The two component units are reported in a separate columns to
emphasize that they are legally separate from the City.

Downtown Business Improvement District
On September 2, 2003, by resolution 4828, the City created the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).
The Mayor and City Council appointed the Board of Directors. The City is able to impose its will on the BID as it is
authorized to levy assessments to support the activities of the BID. The annual budget of the BID is subject to
approval by the City Council. The purpose of said Business Improvement District is to promote the health, safety,
prosperity, security and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Kalispell and the proposed district, and
appears to be of special benefit to the property within the District. The District boundaries are roughly 2nd Avenue
East to 2nd Avenue West between Center Street and 4th Street South. Publicly owned property and owner occupied
single family dwellings are exempt from the assessments related to the District.
Tourism Business Improvement District
On May 3, 2010, by resolution 5425, the City created the Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). The
Mayor with the approval of the City Council appointed seven owners of property within the district to act as the
Board of Trustees of the District. The City is able to impose its will on the TBID as it is authorized to levy
assessments to support the activities of the TBID. The annual budget of the TBID is subject to approval by the City
Council. The purpose of said Tourism Business Improvement District is to promote the health, safety, prosperity,
security and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Kalispell and the proposed district, and appears to be of
special benefit to the property within the District. The District is made up of those properties within the corporate
limits of the City of Kalispell with five or more rooms providing overnight stays for transient patrons at its business.
Basis of Presentation, Measurement Focus, and Basis of Accounting
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most
part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is
reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double -counting of business -type activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or
segment. The general government function of the City includes expenses which are, in essence, indirect expenses of
other functions. These expenses are allocated to each related function. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a
given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Indirect expenses reported in the statement of activities must be allocated to the different functions of the City.
These expenses include administration, data processing, and central garage. The administrative cost allocation is
based on each functions percentage of total City expenses. Data processing is allocated based approximately on that
functions usage of the City's computer servers. Central garage expenses are allocated to the other functions of the
City based on actual invoicing.

CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds
and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB 34 in regards to inter -fund activities, payables and
receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing
balances between the governmental activities and business -type activities, which are presented as internal balances
and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities, internal service fund
transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business -type activities
have not been eliminated.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
On the government -wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business -type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and 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, regardless of the timing of the cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues
in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The City generally applies restricted resources to expenses
incurred before using unrestricted resources when both restricted and unrestricted net position are available.
The City has chosen not to accrue the interest payable of general long-term debt at year end. This practice results in
interest expense reported for governmental activities on the statement of activities to equal the interest expenditure
on the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. Although, this is contrary to full accrual
accounting, the City feels that it is immaterial in the presentation of its financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
Fund financial statements of the City are organized into funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting
entity with a self -balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose
and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance -related legal and contractual provisions.
The minimum number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Funds are
organized into three categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds
within the governmental and proprietary categories. Each major fund is displayed in a separate column in the
governmental funds statements. All of the remaining funds are aggregated and reported in a single column as non -
major funds. 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 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and
b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise
funds are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.
Measurement focus and Basis of Accounting
Governmental funds are used to account for the City's general government activities. Governmental fund types
use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
39
CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual. (i.e., when
they are "measurable and available") "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
"available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period. The City considers all revenues available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures
are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred except for un-matured interest on general long-term debt
which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized
when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Real and personal property taxes, special assessments, charges for current services, and interest earnings are
susceptible to accrual. Other receipts and taxes become measurable and available when cash is received by the City
and are recognized as revenue at that time. The City recorded real and personal property taxes and assessments
levied for the current year as revenue. Taxes and assessments receivable remaining unpaid at year-end and not
expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be available to pay obligations of the current year were recorded
as deferred revenue, with a corresponding reduction in revenues, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, prior period delinquent taxes and assessments collected in the current period were recorded
as revenue in the current period as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Entitlements and shared
revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. Expenditure
driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other grant
requirements have been met.
Major Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is always a major fund. This is the City's primary operating fund and it accounts for all
financial resources of the City except those required to be accounted for in other funds.
The Street Maintenance Fund (special revenue fund) was established to account for the repairs and other costs
incurred in the maintenance of the City's streets. An assessment on the City of Kalispell's tax payers is the main
source of revenue for this fund.
The Community Development Loan Revolving Fund (special revenue fund) was originally established to account
for a federal Community Development Block Grant. These federal dollars were loaned to businesses and
individuals for projects approved by the City's Community Development department. The main revenue source for
this fund currently is borrower's principal and interest payments.
SID 344 is a debt service fund established to account for the resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest of the 20 year bonds sold to finance the construction of the Old School Station Industrial and
Technology Park.
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. These funds account for operations that
are primarily financed by user charges. The flow of economic resources focus concerns determining costs as a
means of maintaining the capital investment and management control. Revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recognized when incurred. Allocations of costs, such as depreciation, are recorded in proprietary
funds.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non -operating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connections with a
proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues for enterprise funds are charges
to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.
►o
CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DUNE 30, 2014
All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses. When
both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first,
then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the City's water distribution operations.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the activities of the City's sewer collection and treatment operations and includes the
storm sewer system.
Fiduciary Funds account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf of others.
The Agency Fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations or have a measurement focus.
Agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. This fund is used to account for
assets that the City holds for others in an agency capacity.
As a general rule the effect of inter -fund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements, and the internal service funds have been absorbed pro -ratably into governmental -type and business -type
activities on the government -wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges for services
between various functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Budget Process
An annual appropriated operating budget is adopted each fiscal year for the general fund, special revenue funds, debt
service funds and capital projects funds on the modified accrual basis. In addition, a budget is adopted for the
enterprise and internal service funds on a full accrual basis. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function,
and for the general fund and certain other funds, by department.
The final budget is legally enacted by the City Council, after holding public hearings as required by State statutes,
and within forty-five days of the State providing final shared revenue figures. Budget appropriation transfers may
be made between general classifications of salaries and wages, maintenance and operation and capital outlay.
Reported budget amounts represent the originally adopted budget as amended by resolution of the City Council. It
is management's responsibility to see that the budget is followed to the budgetary line item.
The City Council may amend a final budget when shortfalls in budgeted revenues require reductions in approved
appropriations to avert deficit spending; when savings result from unanticipated adjustments in projected
expenditures; when unanticipated state or federal monies are received; or when a public emergency occurs which
could not have been foreseen at the time of adoption.
The City Manager is granted budget amendment authority for the expenditure of funds from debt service funds,
enterprise funds, internal service funds, trust funds, federal and state grants accepted and approved by the City
Council, special assessments, and donations.
The procedure to amend the budget in total can be made only after the City prepares a resolution, notice is published
of a public hearing, and a public hearing is held in accordance with state law.

All material budget amendments and transfers during FY 2014 are described below:
Governmental Funds
The City Manager amended the Drug Enforcement Grant fund $1,650 to account for more than expected health
insurance cost and shift pay.
The City Manager amended the Law Enforcement Grants fund $12,913 to accommodate the expenditure of funds
related to a Justice Assistance grant award accepted by the City Council.
The Trails fund was amended by the City Manager by $58,224. This was necessitated by the City's grant allotment
being increased and project construction accelerated.
The Parks in Lieu fund was amended by the City Manager by $11,673. This was necessitated by the City's Trails
grant allotment being increased which increased the needed grant matching monies provided by the Parks in Lieu
fund.
The City Manager amended the 2012 Sidewalk & Curb debt service fund $64. Interest expense was incorrectly
budgeted.
The SID 343 debt service fund was amended by the City Manager to allow the use of excess funds to pay down the
outstanding principal an additional $10,000.
Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity
1. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand and time deposits, government
backed securities, bonds and warrants, and investments with the State of Montana's short-term investment pool
(STIP). The cash resources of the individual funds are combined to form a pool of cash and investments which is
managed by the City Treasurer.
Investments are carried at cost, which does approximate fair value as described in Note III, A, except for
investments in STIP and particular bonds, which are reported at fair value.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the enterprise and internal services funds consider all funds (including
restricted assets) held in the City's cash management pool to be cash equivalents.
2. Receivables
RPtwoon Funds
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the
fiscal year are referred to as either interfund receivables/payables (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or
advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non -current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as due to/from other funds.
Advances between funds are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate
they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.

Taxes
Property tax levies are set within forty-five days of the State providing shared revenue figures, in connection with
the budget process. Real property (and certain attached personal property) taxes are billed within ten days after the
third Monday in October and are due in equal installments on November 30 and the following May 31. After those
dates, they become delinquent, and a lien is filed upon the property. After three years, the City may exercise the lien
and take title to the property. Special assessments are billed in two equal installments due November 30 and the
following May 31. Personal property taxes (other than those billed with real estate) are generally billed no later than
the second Monday in July (normally in May or June), based on the prior November's levies. Personal property
taxes, other than mobile homes, are due thirty days after billing. Mobile home taxes are billed in two halves, the
first due thirty days after billing; the second due September 30. The tax billings are considered past due after the
respective due dates and are subject to penalty and interest charges.

Total Proprietary 36,238
Total City prepaids $ 237,215
4. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the City's 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. When an expense is incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, it is the
City's policy to first apply the restricted resources.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or
business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the
government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of
five years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. As required by GASB, the
City of Kalispell has retroactively reported its streets as part of capital assets in the financial reports for fiscal year
2009. More detailed information on the City's streets and all capital assets can be found in Note D. Capital Assets.
Police vehicles are an exception despite a useful life less than 5 years. The City has determined that it is important
to capitalize and depreciate these because the total cost, as a group, is substantial.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or extend asset lives are not
capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related assets.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred
during the construction phase of fixed assets is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of
interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.

CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
Depreciation has been provided for the property, plant and equipment of the City of Kalispell using the straight line
method. The useful lives of these assets have been estimated as follows:
Buildings
20-50 years
Improvements other than buildings
10-50 years
Streets
40 years
Machinery, vehicles and equipment
3-20 years
Water and sewer lines, pump stations
10-50 years
6. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy and state law to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused
vacation benefits, which will be paid to employees upon separation from City service. Employees are allowed to
accumulate and carry over a maximum of two times their annual accumulation of vacation. Any vacation leave time
accumulated over this maximum carryover must be used within 90 days of the new calendar year. There is no
restriction on the amount of sick leave that may be accumulated. Upon separation, employees are paid 100 percent
of accumulated vacation and 25 percent of accumulated sick leave.
In fiscal year 2012, the City of Kalispell began offering a voluntary employees beneficiary association (VEBA)
plan. A tax-free post -retirement medical expense account used by retirees and their eligible dependents to pay for
any eligible medical expenses. The plan is funded by 50% of the employee's unused sick leave at the time of
retirement, which is contributed by the City into the plan. The benefit to the retiree of this plan is that they receive
two times the amount of unused sick leave at retirement, none of which is subject to tax.
The liability associated with governmental fund -type employees is reported in Governmental Activities column of
the Statement of Net Position, while the liability associated with proprietary fund -type employees is recorded in the
respective fund and the Business -type Activities column of the Statement of Net Position. For the purpose of
reporting these compensated absences payable as current or noncurrent, the City assumes all employees will use
their vacation accumulated as of June 30th in the succeeding fiscal year (current). The City also assumes sick leave
accumulated as of June 30th will remain accumulated in the succeeding fiscal year (noncurrent).
7. Long - Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term
debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, or
proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed when incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
8. Net Position/Fund Balance
Net position in the government wide and proprietary fund financial statements show the amount of the capital assets
less any outstanding debt issued to fund them as "net investment in capital assets." Restricted net position are those
that have constraints placed on them either by external parties or imposed by law or enabling legislation.
45
CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DUNE 30, 2014
The City implemented GASB Statement 54 for fiscal year 2011. As a result, the classifications for fund balance
now used for governmental funds are reported in two general classifications, non -spendable and spendable:
Non -spendable represents the portion of fund balance that is not in spendable form such as inventories and prepaids,
and, in the general fund, long term notes and loans receivable.
Spendable fund balance is further categorized as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
Restricted fund balance contains balances that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external
parties or through enabling legislation. External parties include grantors, debt covenants, votes, and laws and
regulations of other governments.
Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal
action of the government's highest level of decision -making authority, the City Council. The City Council needs
to formally adopt a Resolution in order to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment.
Assigned fund balances are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the
criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. Assignments of fund balance are created by the governing
body. The City Council has the authority to express assignments in the General fund. In governmental funds
other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or
committed. Also included in the assigned fund balance for the general fund are assignments for the portion of
the current general fund balance that is projected to be used to fund expenditures and other cash outflows in
excess of the expected revenues and other cash inflows in the next fiscal year.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all
spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification should
be used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts
have been restricted, committed, or assigned.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following order, for the
identified fund types:
General Fund: restricted, committed, assigned, unassigned
Special Revenue Funds: restricted, committed, assigned
Debt Service Funds: assigned, committed, restricted
Capital Project Funds: restricted, committed, assigned
NOTE 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Excess of expenditures over appropriations
For the year ended June 30, 2014, all City funds expenditures were less than or equal to budgeted appropriations.
B. Deficit Fund Balances
The City reports one (1) Fund with a deficit fund balance at June 30, 2014.
The SID 344 debt service fund shows a negative fund balance at June 30th. This is due to the fund having more than
$1,000,000 of delinquent assessments. For more information on the SID 344 debt service fund see Note E. Long-
term Debt, page 55.

Special Assessment Debt - Special assessment bonds are secured by a lien on the assessed properties. The primary
source of repayment is the assessments levied against the benefiting properties. However, the City is liable, to an
extent, for repayment of these special assessment bonds. The City is authorized by State law to establish and has
established a revolving fund to ensure the payment of debt service on the bonds in the event that assessed property
owners default.

SID's 343 Assessments
In the event that all future and delinquent assessments are paid and that there are no future adjustments to
assessments by the City of Kalispell, there is a projected surplus of principal assessments in SID 343 of $95,241.
SID 344 Bonds
The City of Kalispell entered into a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking dated as of June 29, 2006 with respect to the
SID 344 Bonds. As part of the Undertaking, the City covenanted and agreed to provide continuing disclosure of
certain financial information, operating data, and timely notices of the occurrence of certain events for the benefit of
the Holders of the Bonds in order to assist the Participating Underwriters in complying with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b) (5), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"). The Bonds were issued pursuant to Resolution No.
5123, adopted by the City Council of the City on June 19, 2006.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 5123, principal of and interest on the Bonds are secured by: (i) special assessments
payable by taxpayers in SID 344; (ii) certain tax increment revenues pledged to the Bonds; (iii) a bond reserve
account ($226,000) established in the SID 344 fund; (iv) the debt service revolving fund ($226,000). On the July 1,
2014 payment date for the Bonds, the City used $367,283 of the $384,576 in the SID 344 bond reserve accounts to
fully satisfy the regularly scheduled debt service payment of $367,283.
The use of the bond reserve monies was necessary because the largest property owner in SID 344 (currently the
owner of 11 of the 17 total parcels in SID 344) had not paid 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013 Special Assessments
when due, and the available Special Assessments and Tax Increments were insufficient to fully satisfy the regularly
scheduled payment. The City has determined that the use of bond reserve monies constitutes a material event (as
defined by the Rule and the Undertaking) because it is an unscheduled draw on the reserves reflecting financial
difficulties for the Bonds. At June 30, 2014, $0 is in the SID 344 bond reserve account, and $17,293 is in the debt
service revolving fund available to pay future debt service on the bonds.

G. Post Employment Health Insurance Benefits
Terminated employees may remain on the City's health insurance plan for up to 18 months if they pay the monthly
premiums. This benefit is required under federal C.O.B.R.A. law. In accordance with Montana State law (see
below), retirees may remain on the City's health plan as long as they wish, at a rate that does not cover all of the
related costs. This results in the reporting of an implied rate subsidy in the financial statements and footnotes. The
City's contract with Allegiance Benefits details the plan eligibility. MMIA is the administrator of the benefit plan
which covers both active and retired members. The City's retirees may continue coverage for themselves and their
covered eligible dependents if they are eligible for public employees' retirement by virtue of their employment with
the City of Kalispell. The City's current labor contracts do not include any obligations for payments to retirees.
Montana Codes Annotated (MCA) Section 2-18-704 states (1) an insurance contract or plan issued under this part
must contain provisions that permit:
(a) The member of a group who retires from active service under the appropriate retirement provisions of a
defined benefit plan provided by law or, in the case of the defined contribution plan provided in Title 19,
chapter 3, part 21, a member with at least 5 years of service and who is a least age 50 while in covered
employment to remain a member of the group until the member becomes eligible for medicare under the
federal Health Insurance for the Aged Act, 42 U.S. C. 1395, as amended, unless the member is a
participant in another group plan with substantially the same or greater benefits at an equivalent cost or
group plan with substantially the same or greater benefits at an equivalent cost;
(b) The surviving spouse of a member to remain a member of the group as long as the spouse is eligible for
retirement benefits accrued by the deceased member as provided by law unless the spouse is eligible for
medicare under the federal Health Insurance for the Aged Act or unless the spouse has or is eligible for
equivalent insurance coverage as provided in subsection (1)(a);
(c) The surviving children of a member to remain members of the group as long as they are eligible for
retirement benefits accrued by the deceased member as provide by law unless they have equivalent
coverage in subsection (1)(a) or are eligible for insurance coverage by virtue of the employment of a
surviving parent or legal guardian.
For FY2014, the City of Kalispell has recorded other post employment benefits in the governmental funds. This
recording resulted in an expense of $307,647 on the statement of activities, governmental activities, general
government. OPEB is recorded on an accrual basis in the governmental funds. Other post employment benefits
expenses were also recorded in the water fund ($36,918), and sewer fund ($21,682). In prior years, the City of
Kalispell considered other post employment benefits of the water fund and sewer fund immaterial.

Funding Policy. The plan is unfunded by the City and plan members receiving benefits contribute 100 percent of
their cost of the benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City plan's administratively established retiree medical,
dental and vision premiums vary between $415 and $1,665 per month depending on the medical plan selected,
family coverage, and Medicare eligibility. The plan provides different coinsurance amounts depending on whether
members use preferred, non -preferred, or other hospitals. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the City has 12
retired members receiving benefits.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The City's annual other post -employment benefit (OPEB) cost
(expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC). The ARC represents a
level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any
unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the City's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount implicitly
contributed to the plan, and changes in the City's net OPEB obligation to the Retiree Health Plan:

Funded Status and Funding Progress. The projection of future benefit payments for an ongoing plan involves
estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the
future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the
future.

The following key assumptions were chosen by the City:
1. Discount Rate: 4.44%
2. Healthcare (inflation) Trend Rates: 7% as of July 1, 2013 reduced linearly to 5% by fiscal year 2018,
and remaining at 5% thereafter.
3. Retirees are required to pay 100% of the total premium developed for the active population.
4. Program valued as it stands today.
5. Expected Long Term Rate of Return on Assets: N/A
6. Participation Rate: 20% of future retirees are assumed to elect medical coverage. 70% of the future
retirees who elect medical coverage and are married are assumed to elect spousal coverage as well.
7. Marital Assumption: For future retirees, 60% are assumed to be married, and males are assumed to be
3 years older than females.
8. Amortization method: 30 year open (level dollar).
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about
the probability of events far into the future. Examples, as detailed above, include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual
revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations, and new estimates are made about the future.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, is designed to present multiyear trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the
actuarial liabilities for benefits. The City of Kalispell has elected not to fund this liability.
The benefits the plan is expected to provide are assigned to appropriate accounting periods using the Projected Unit
Credit cost method as described under Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45. For each
participant, an actuarial present value of benefit total payments is determined as of the measurement date.

Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by
the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the
historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

K. Joint Ventures
Joint ventures are independently constituted entities generally created by two or more governments for a specific
purpose which are subject to joint control, in which the participating governments retain 1) an ongoing financial
interest or 2) an ongoing financial responsibility.
1. City -County Health Department
The City -County Health Department is operated under an interlocal agreement between Flathead County and the
City of Kalispell. The Department operates under the supervision and control of the City -County Health Board. The
Board consists of seven members, six of whom are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners.
The Department is financed, in addition to revenue generated by providing health services, by the City and the
County levying an identical mill levy, up to 5 mills, in order that all property within the City of Kalispell and all
property in Flathead County outside the City limits are taxed equally. The operation is accounted for in the County
Health Fund and is included in the general purpose financial statements of Flathead County within the Special
Revenue Fund.
2. 911 Dispatch Center
The 911 Dispatch Center is operated under an interlocal agreement between Flathead County, the City of Columbia
Falls, the City of Whitefish, and the City of Kalispell. The Center operates under the supervision and control of the
Flathead Emergency Communications Center Board. The Board consists of six members, the Flathead County
Sheriff, a County Commissioner chosen by the Board of County Commissioners, the County Attorney or other
elected County officer, and an elected official or designee from each of the cities of Kalispell, Whitefish, and
Columbia Falls. The Department is financed by funds received by all members from the State (9-1-1 fees) pursuant
to Section 10-4-302, M.C.A. Any additional operating funds needed will be shared proportionally by all members.
Under the supervision of the Board, the Director shall hire and direct staff to carry out the responsibilities of the
County's Office of Emergency Services and the Flathead County Fire Service Area.
L. County Provided Services
The City of Kalispell is provided various financial services by Flathead County. The County serves as cashier and
treasurer for the City for tax assessment collections and other revenues received by the County which are subject to
distribution to the various taxing jurisdictions located in the County. The collections made by the County on behalf
of the City are accounted for in an agency fund in the City's name and are periodically remitted to the City by the
County Treasurer. The County charges the City for fees associated with City Special Assessments.
M. Risk Management
The City faces a considerable number of risks of loss, including a) damage to and loss of property and contents, b)
employee torts, c) professional liability, i.e., errors and omissions, d) environmental damage, e) workers'
compensation, i.e. employee injuries, and i) medical insurance costs of employees. A variety of methods are used to
provide insurance for these risks. Commercial policies, transferring all risks of loss, except for relatively small
deductible amounts are purchased for property and content damage and professional liabilities. The City
participates in two statewide public risk pools operated by the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority, for workers'
compensation and for tort liability coverage. Employee medical insurance is provided through a state-wide health
insurance pool administered by MMIA. Given the lack of coverage available, the City has no coverage for potential
losses from environmental damages.

CITY OF KALISPELL
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DUNE 30, 2014
Effective July 1, 1987 The City of Kalispell joined with other Montana cities to form the Montana Municipal
Insurance Authority, a self-insurance pool offering Worker's Compensation and Liability Coverage. Both public
entity risk pools currently operate as common risk management and insurance programs for the member
governments. The liability limits for damages in tort action are $750,000 per claim and $1.5 million per occurrence
with an $11,250 deductible per occurrence. State tort law limits the City's liability to $1.5 million.
The city pays an annual premium for its employee injury insurance coverage, which is allocated to the employer
funds based on total salaries and wages. The agreements for formation of the pools provide that they will be self-
sustaining through member premiums. The tort liability plan and workers' compensation program issued bonds in
the amount of $4.41 million and $7.610 million, respectively, to immediately finance the necessary insurance
reserves. All members signed a contingent note for a pro rata share of this liability in case operating revenue was
insufficient to cover the debt service. The City's share is $201,445 for liability and $281,715 for Workers'
Compensation to finance the necessary insurance reserves. Based on the plan's current financial position, the City
doesn't expect to make any payment on these notes. Separate financial statements are available from the Montana
Municipal Insurance Authority.
On October 1, 2004, Kalispell signed a 5 year agreement with many other Montana Cities, and through the Montana
Municipal Insurance Authority, to create a state wide health insurance pool. The City pays the total monthly
premium for employees who only choose to cover themselves. For employees who choose to cover additional
dependents, the City pays a percentage of the extra costs.
N. Pending Litigation
The following is a list of litigation pending against the City and the amount of damages claimed by the Plaintiff.
The City Attorney has made no evaluation as to the outcome of each case. The City has liability insurance that may
cover all or part of the damages. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the financial statements for these
contingent liabilities.

Loans Receivable
Community Development Loan Revolving
The City entered into a community development program, which includes funding from a community development
block grant, to make available to eligible applicants (low -to -moderate income residents), a loan for at least one-half
of the required rehabilitation cost. These funds from the City, together with loans from the First Federal Savings
Bank (now Glacier Bank) of Montana, the lender, must provide the total funds required for the purchase and
rehabilitation of the housing unit. At the time the bank loans are closed with the borrower, the proceeds of the City's
loan will be deposited into the borrower's construction account at First Federal (Glacier). The City's loan is secured
by the property, and filed in a third lien position. Repayment of the City loan will not begin until 30 days after the
Lender's loan (second lien) for construction of the unit has been paid off. The City's loan is interest free until such
time as repayment begins. The maximum amount of a private lender loan cannot exceed $20,000 per property with
a ten-year pay back.
In addition, when an owner -occupant is unable to afford a private lender loan at the pre -determined interest rate
agreed to by the City and lender, he or she may qualify for City financing. The City may provide a direct loan of up
to $25,000 with a varying interest rate (as low as zero percent) or with a longer amortization period (maximum of
fifteen years) or a deferred loan to be repaid simultaneously, at a later date, with a balloon payment, or to be released
at the end of ten years.

Hampstead Partners
In August of 2002, the City of Kalispell entered into two notes receivable agreements with 2nd Avenue West
Partners, L.P. (Hampstead Partners) for property on 2nd Avenue West in Kalispell. The property consists of a 40-
unit low-income apartment complex known as 2nd Avenue West Independent Living Center. As stipulated in the
agreement, this property is restricted as low income housing, and shall remain as such for a period of thirty-five
years.
One of these notes is for $480,000, and bears interest at 1% per annum. The second of these notes is for $400,000,
and bears interest at 4.81% per annum. These loans mature on February 28, 2032. Payments of interest on the note
are due on or before the last day of the taxable year, to the extent there is surplus cash, as defined by the note.
Unpaid interest shall accrue until paid, but not compound on the first loan. Payments of principal are not required
until the maturity date of the loans. The notes are secured by a deed of trust on the property. Accrued interest as of
June 30, 2014, is $57,255, and $284,067, respectively.
Community Development Block Grant Economic Development Program
In fiscal year 2007, the City entered into a community development program with funding from a community
development block grant economic development program. Eligibility for these low interest loans is tied to the
creation of jobs within Kalispell with a percentage of the jobs created to be filled by low and moderate -income
persons.

Rural Development Loan Revolving
On May 5, 2003, the City Council passed Resolution No. 4780 establishing an Economic Development Revolving
Loan Fund (ED RLF) for small business retention and expansion. The resolution also created an Economic
Development Loan Review Committee to process all applications for assistance. Additionally, on August 16, 2004
and again on November 6, 2006, the City Council, by Resolution No. 4929 and 5158, respectively, authorized the
City Manager to enter into loan agreements with the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development
office, in the amount of $520,000 and $750,000. These monies will be used to assist in the retention and expansion
of small business, which may stimulate economic development activity by assisting the private sector where a
funding gap exists and alternative sources of public and private financing are not adequate.
