Mayor Paula Portugal
and Members of the City Council
City of Paris, Texas
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I am pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Paris, Texas, for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2020.
The City of Paris is a financial reporting entity as defined by the Government Accounting Standards Board codification
section 2100. As such, it has a separately elected governing body chosen by its citizens in a general, popular election, is a
legally separate primary government, and is fiscally independent of other state and local governments. The financial reporting
entity includes all the funds of the primary government and its component unit,'the Paris Economic Development Corporation.
More information about PEDC can be found in footnote I.B. which deals with reporting entity topics. There are no other
potential component units.
The primary purpose of this report is to provide the City Council, citizens, financial community, and others with detailed
information concerning the financial condition and performance of the City of Paris. It is strongly recommended that any user
of this report read the Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the financial section of the report. In addition, this
report provides assurance that the City presents fairly its financial position as verified by independent auditors.
THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Paris, Texas, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, which
follows, was prepared by the Finance Department. The financial statements have been audited by McClanahan and Holmes,
LLP, CPAs, whose report is included herein. This audit satisfies Article III, Section 35 of the City Charter which requires that
an annual audit of all accounts of the City be made by an independent certified public accountant.
The City Finance Department is responsible for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of
the presentations, including all disclosures. I believe the data presented is accurate in all material aspects and is presented in a
manner which fairly sets forth the financial position and results of operations of the City. Furthermore, I believe that all
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain maximum understanding of the City's financial activity have been included.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

The Notes to the Financial Statements are provided in the Financial Section and are considered essential to fair presentation
and adequate disclosure for this financial report. The notes include the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for the
City and other necessary disclosures of important matters relating to the financial position of the City. The notes are treated as
an integral part of the financial statements and should be read in conjunction with them.

Joseph's Hospital, Paris Regional Medical Center is a 154 bed general acute-care hospital.
The City provides utilities through its 36 MGD water plant and 7.25 MGD wastewater plant. Electric power is supplied to
Paris by TXU Electric's interconnected transmission system. It has a generating capacity of 22,808,000 KW. The supply of
electric power is adequate to meet the requirements of any commercial or industrial demand. Atmos Energy provides natural
gas for residential, commercial, and industrial users. Atmos Energy is the largest provider of pure natural gas in America. It
provides service to over three million customers in 12 states. There are 3 transmission lines serving the City with a line
pressure of 300 pounds per square inch. Telephone service is provided by AT &T.
Educational facilities of the City are provided by 3 independent school districts. Each of the districts is accredited by the
Texas Education Agency. Higher education needs in the County are provided at Paris Junior College located in the City.
Total enrollment of these entities is 11,482.
Tourists are attracted to the area by activities on Lake Crook and Pat Mayse Reservoir. Pat Mayse Reservoir is located 15

Also, the City has one 18 -hole golf course, one public swimming pool, 26 tennis courts, 3 walk/jog tracks, a sports complex,
and 24 public park areas.
Government Organization
The City was founded in 1839 with the current charter adopted in November of 1948 and last revised in 2011. The City
operates under the Council/Manager form of government with 7 council members elected from single member districts. The
Mayor is elected by the Council itself to serve as moderator of the group. The Council members can serve a maximum of
three consecutive 2 year staggered terms. The Mayor and Council appoint the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the
Municipal Judge. The City is a Home Rule City with all powers granted to home rule cities by the constitution and laws of the
I-2
State of Texas. The Council enacts legislation, adopts budgets, and determines policies of the City of Paris. The City
Manager executes the laws and administers the government of the City.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Taxable values, as originally certified by the Lamar County Appraisal District, for fiscal year 2020-21 reflect a 7.23% increase
over the 2019-20 values. Building permits for new residential and commercial construction were valued at $21,002,680 for
fiscal year 2019-20. This activity should be reflected in next year's taxable values.
Sales taxes for 2019-20 increased from the prior year by 11.90%. Current rebates are 20.13% above the 2019-20 rebates
through July 2021.
Hotel occupancy taxes were down 4.70% compared to 2018-19 taxes as COVID-19 hindered travelers. First quarter 2020-21
collections were an amazing 51.98% above the same period in 2019-20.
Franchise fees for 2019-20 were up 9.48% compared to the previous year.
The City of Paris, Paris Economic Development Corporation, and the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce have been
actively recruiting new business to the area as well as supporting already existing businesses. PEDC has several active
incentive commitments in regard to its recruitment of new industry and support of existing industry. American Spiral Weld is
the latest recruitment success which will start up next year with an $113,042,600 market value and a $22,500,643 taxable
value.
General Fund receipts equaled 117.64% of budget. This surplus of revenues was caused primarily by Emergency Medical
Service revenue and sales taxes. General Fund expenditures were 117.44% of budget. This variance is mainly due to
expenditures for Public Safety and Public Health. For the 2020-21 fiscal year, the City Council adopted a tax rate of .48078
cents per $100 of value. This rate is $0.0353 cents lower than the previous year but does allow maintaining all services at their
current levels and funds all required interest and sinking funds. Taxable property value increased 18.75%.
Long-term Financial Planning and Relevant Financial Policies
The City continues to update its long-range financial plan. The City formalized a key financial policy in 2010 that had been
informally followed previously: a utility rate maintenance policy. The utility rate maintenance policy will help assure the
financial integrity of the enterprise fund along with its related interest and sinking funds. Another policy was formalized in
2013 in the form of a reserve level guideline for both the general fund and utility fund. Adequate reserve levels provide the
City with the ability to deal with extraordinary events and maintain its credit worthiness. This credit worthiness, as reflected in
the current financial statements, allowed the City to obtain very favorable interest rates on the general obligation bonds issued
in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020.
Major Initiatives
The City continues to work on its long-range plan to maintain its infrastructure. The City called for a general obligation bond
election in May 2013 in the amount of $45,000,000 which passed overwhelmingly. Proceeds from these bonds were used for
water and sewer infrastructure improvements. These bonds will be paid for out of utility system revenues. With the payoff of
earlier debt issues, it was not necessary to raise utility rates to fund the new debt. Likewise a $9,750,000 bond election for
I-3
street construction and repair was approved in 2017 and those projects have been completed. In May of 2021, the City issued
$43,855,000 in Combination Tax and Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation to fund Phase One construction of a new
wastewater treatment plant. These bonds will be paid for out of utility system revenue.
The City also continues to expand its effort in law enforcement related area. Programs in this effort include the Auto Theft
Task Force and Justice Assistance Grant for needed equipment.
From a development standpoint, the City has taken several steps. Reentry into the State of Texas Main Street Program has
channeled additional funds for revitalization of existing structures and businesses. The City continues to work closely with
the Paris Economic Development Corporation to attract new business to Paris and to support existing businesses as well.
Working with the Chamber of Commerce, the City is effectively using the civic center to attract people and business to Paris.
City officials are also closely working with Keep Paris Beautiful, Inc. to promote and improve the City. The Historic
Preservation Committee is working with local property owners to maintain the historical character of the City.
Other Financial Information
The financial statements of the City of Paris, Texas, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the accepted standard-setting
body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Using the GASB 34 reporting model, the
City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report provides for a management's discussion and analysis, government -wide
financial statements, major fund financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and other required supplementary
information.
The City has a written investment policy that conforms to state statutes, which outlines permissible investments. The City
pools its cash balances for investment purposes from the various funds maintained in its consolidated cash account. Interest
earnings of the pool are allocated to the various funds of the City based upon a fund's equity position in the pool. The City of
Paris' primary risk exposures are in the areas of workers' compensation and tort liability. Provision for these risks is made
through participation in the Texas Municipal League's risk pool.
Between 30 days and 90 days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a
proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following October 1. The operating budget, which represents the
financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year, includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Public hearings
are conducted at which all interested persons' comments concerning the budget for the next fiscal year are heard. The budget
is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance not later than the 27th day of the last month prior to the
beginning of the fiscal year. Generally, appropriations are legally adopted at the department level. Budgetary controls are
maintained at the major category of expenditure level within each operating division. All anticipated expenditures are
budgeted for control purposes. Capital project funds are appropriated on a project by project basis. Expenditures and/or
expenses are directly monitored by the City Council.
Internal Controls
Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance of the safeguarding of assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and reliable financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not
exceed the benefits likely to be derived.
I-4
All internal control evaluations occur within this framework. The Finance Department's staff believes the City's internal
control structure adequately ensures compliance with laws and regulations and reasonable assurance for safeguarding of
assets.

The City Charter requires an annual audit to be made of the accounts, financial records, and transactions of all administrative
departments of the City by a certified public accountant selected by the City Council. The requirement has been complied
with, and the Independent Auditors' Report has been included in this report.
Acknowledgments
The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the full support and efficient and dedicated efforts of
the entire staff of the Finance Department and the competent services of the independent auditors, McClanahan and Holmes,
LLP, CPAs. I express my appreciation to all members of the Finance Department who assisted and contributed to the
completion of this report and to all City departments involved in the preparation of information for this report. In addition, I
express my appreciation to the Mayor, City Council, and City Manager for their continuing interest and support in planning

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Paris, Texas
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information including
the budgetary comparison of the City of Paris, Texas, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in
the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. 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.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Paris, Texas
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 Paris, Texas, as of September 30,
2020, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective
budgetary comparison for the General 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, the schedules of changes in net pension liability, the schedules of changes in total OPEB liability, and
the schedules of City contributions 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 Paris, Texas' basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor
fund financial statements and schedules, statistical section, and continuing disclosure information are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of
expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules and the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the 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 combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules 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 section, statistical section, and continuing disclosure information 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.

the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Paris, Texas' internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of Paris, Texas' internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

As management of the City of Paris (the City), we offer readers of the City of Paris, Texas' financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Paris for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2020. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information
that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal as well as the City's financial statements.
Financial Highlights of the Primary Government
• The City dropped its tax rate from 0.55195 to 0.51608 per $100 of valuation for fiscal year 2019-20.
• For the upcoming 2020-21 fiscal year, the City lowered its tax rate to 0.48078 per $100 of valuation.
• City-wide revenues this year exceeded City-wide expenses by $5,978,761 whereas in the previous year
expenses exceeded revenues by $480,786. The unusually large revenue surplus was the result of increases
in operating grants and general revenues plus City-wide expenditures were also down significantly.
• At the end of the fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $15,990,260 or 58.60%, of
total general fund expenditures. The prior year unassigned fund balance was $12,390,089 or 47.54%, of
general fund expenditures.
• At the end of the fiscal year, the net position of the proprietary funds was $43,803,809 compared to
$42,211,693 the prior year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This management's discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Paris' basic
financial statements. The City of Paris' basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of
Paris' finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Paris' assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a
useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Paris is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and
earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Paris that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended
to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The
governmental activities of the City of Paris include general government, public safety, public works, culture and
recreation, health, and airport. The business -type activities of the City of Paris include water production and
distribution as well as wastewater collection and treatment. The government -wide financial statements include not
only the City of Paris itself (known as the primary government), but also a legally separate economic development
corporation (known as the component unit) over which the City of Paris is able to exercise significant control.
Financial information for this component unit is reported separately from the financial information presented for the
primary government itself.
The government -wide financial statements can be found at Statement 1 and 2.

Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The City of Paris, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Paris can
be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the
government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental
fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of
spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a
government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
government activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Paris classifies its governmental funds as either Nonmajor or Major. Nonmajor governmental funds
include all special revenue funds and permanent 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 fund, capital projects fund, and the debt service fund, all of which are considered to be Major funds.
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data
for each of these Nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found beginning with Statement 3 and continuing through
Statement 6 of this report.
Proprietary Funds
The City of Paris maintains only one type of proprietary fund. An enterprise fund (the type used by the City of Paris)
is used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial
statements. The City of Paris uses an enterprise fund to account for its water and sewer related activities.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more
detail. The proprietary fund used by the City of Paris is considered a major fund.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found beginning with Statement 7 and continuing through
Statement 9 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found immediately
after the Statement of Cash Flows -Proprietary Funds in this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information concerning the City of Paris' progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and
other post -employment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found immediately
following the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found immediately after the required
supplementary information in this report.
Government -Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the
case of the City of Paris, assets exceeded liabilities by $80,850,369 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. This
compares to $73,931,053 for the previous year. This was a 9.36% increase in net position.
By far, the largest portion of the City of Paris' net position ($50,788,111 or 62.82%) reflects its net investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment). The City of Paris uses these capital assets to provide
services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Paris'
investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.

An additional portion of the City of Paris' net assets ($8,272,920 or 10.23%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The balance of unrestricted net assets ($21,789,338 or 26.95%) may
be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Paris is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net
position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business -type activities
6
net investment in capital assets, restricted net position, and unrestricted net position. This was also true for the prior
fiscal year.
Statement 1 reflects the relevant deferred outflows and inflows for the fiscal year. Outflows are intended to account
for the anticipated future liabilities for pension payments as well as contributions toward the cost of retiree health
care and other post -employment benefits. Inflows anticipate future contributions to the pension plan and retiree
health care and other post -employment benefits.
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City of Paris' net position by $4,386,645 or 13.43% (includes prior period
adjustment and transfers) during the current fiscal year. Total general revenues (ignoring transfers) were up
$4,614,468 (15.76%) with general revenues being up $1,494,949 (6.61%) and program revenues being up
$3,142,149 (47.16%). The unusually large increase in program revenues were due to COVID-19 related EMS
charges and a COVID-19 related grant.

increase and reduced expenses.
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Paris uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related
legal requirements.
8
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City of Paris' governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Paris' financing requirements. In
particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Paris' governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $25,056,499. Approximately 63.81% of this total amount ($15,990,260) constitutes unassigned fund
balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is reserved
to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it is non -spendable, restricted, or assigned to 1)
Permanent Fund Principal ($98,400), 2) pay debt service ($1,766,863), 3) inventories ($500,495), 4) law

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Paris. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned
fund balance of the general fund was $15,990,260 ($12,390,089 the previous year), while total fund balance reached
$17,150,077 ($13,451,478 the previous year). The increase in the fund balance of the general fund was primarily
due to increased cash/investments and receivables. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance
represents 47.86% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 51.33% of that same
amount.
During the year, the City also made budgeted transfers from the Water and Sewer Fund to the General Fund for
administrative support and payment of franchise fees. Transfers were made from the Water and Sewer Fund to the
Debt Service Fund to make debt service payments.
Other governmental funds (nonmajor) include the Permanent and Expendable Library Funds, Special Revenue Fund,
Grant Fund, and the Community Development Fund. Only the General Fund had unassigned fund balance at the end
of the year.
Budget Analysis
The City of Paris adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has
been provided as Statement 6 in this report to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The final appropriation of the general fund was overspent by $4,055,949 ($1,035,895 overspent the previous year).
This 17.32% variance is mainly due to bad debt charge offs in the EMS and Police (Municipal Court) Departments.
General Fund revenues were over budget by 17.64% or $4,491,429 ($1,663,881 last year). Higher than expected
sales tax collections and increased billings by EMS and Municipal Court account for most of the increase.
Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund is funded by the General Fund and/or the Proprietary Fund on an as needed basis or by
debt issue authorized by the City Council. As Proprietary Fund projects are completed in the Capital Projects Fund,
they are transferred back to the Proprietary Fund. The fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund was $3,836,182
($6,178,988 last year). This reduction was due to the significant expenditure of existing cash on hand for various
projects with the only offsetting revenue being interest income. Variances from year to year are common in this fund
as projects are approved on a year to year basis by the City Council.
10
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund has a total fund balance of $1,766,863 ($1,727,065 the previous year), all of which is
reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the debt service
fund was $39,798 ($109,097 decrease the previous year). The government enacted a dedicated property tax for debt
service at the beginning of the current fiscal year. This tax produced revenues of $1,892,804 in the current fiscal
year ($1,769,743 the previous year).
Proprietary Fund
The City of Paris' Proprietary Fund provides the same type of information found in the government -wide financial
statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the Water and Sewer Fund at the end of the year amounted to $14,923,230 ($16,431,945
the previous year). Factors concerning the finances of this fund have already been addressed in the discussion of the
City of Paris' business -type activities.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
The City of Paris' investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of September 30,
2020 amounts to $108,048,134 ($103,524,557 the previous year). Both of these amounts are net of accumulated
depreciation. This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment,
park facilities, roads, highways, and bridges.
Net Capital Assets
Additional information on the City of Paris' capital assets can be found in note IV. D. of the Notes to the Financial
Statements.

Paris' bond debt had a net decrease of $2,065,000 (3.83%) during the fiscal year. The City's underlying bond rating
from Moody's is Aa3. The maximum tax rate permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas constitution is
$2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation. Consequently, no legal debt margin can be calculated. The state attorney
general has traditionally allowed up to $1.50 per $100 valuation to be applied to debt service. The City levied a tax
rate of $0.51608 per $100 valuation for the 2019-20 fiscal year. This rate was broken down into $0.40868 per $100
valuation for operations and $0.10740 per $100 valuation for debt service. Using the traditional allowance of the
state attorney general as a guide, the City of Paris is utilizing only 7.16% of its debt capacity.
Additional information on the City of Paris' long-term debt can be found in note IV. K. of the Notes to the Financial
Statements.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
• Sales tax revenues are projected to grow 5% in the coming year.
• New construction amounted to 25 residential units and 15 commercial units.
• Local population growth is expected to be minimal.
• The tax rate is expected to drop below $0.50 per $100 of value as property values continue to grow.
• Franchise fees are expected to remain stable.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the City of Paris' budget for 2020-21.

Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds (above)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore,
are not reported in the funds. (Net of Accumulated Depreciation)
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and, therefore,
are deferred or not reflected in the funds.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and,
therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Included in noncurrent liabilities is the recognition of the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability
required by GASB 68 in the amount of $10,915,075, a Deferred Outflow of Resources in the amount of
$1,634,296, and a Deferred Inflow of Resources in the amount of $2,661,329. This amounted to a decrease
in Net Position of $11,942,108.
Included in noncurrent liabilities is the recognition of the City's proportionate share of the net OPEB liability
required by GASB 75 in the amount of $2,606,860, a Deferred Outflow of Resources in the amount of
$334,164, and a Deferred Inflow of Resources in the amount of $243,149. This amounted to a decrease
in Net Position of $2,515,845.

CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and
Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
Year Ended September 30, 2020
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities (Statement 2) are
different because:
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds (Statement 4)
Governmental funds reported capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded
depreciation in the current period.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales and
donations) is to decrease net assets.
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in governmental funds.
Accrued interest expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental
funds.
Compensated absences reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
The net change in inventory is a direct adjustment to fund balance in the funds.
Pension expenses are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds and contributions
after the measurement date are deferred.
OPEB expenses are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds and contributions
after the measurement date are deferred.
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has
any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums,
discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred
and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these
differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Change in net position of governmental activities (Statement 2).

CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
I. Summga of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Description of Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (e.g., the statement of net position and the statement of activities)
report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and it's component unit. 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 the legally separate component unit for which the primary government
is financially accountable.
B. Reporting Entity
The City of Paris, Texas (the City), operates under a council-manager form of government with the mayor and
six council members being elected. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its
component unit. The discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government -
wide financial statements (see note below for a description) to emphasize that it is legally separate from the
government.
Discretely Presented Component Unit: The Paris Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) is a
governmental nonprofit corporation established July 19, 1993, funded by a quarter percent sales tax. PEDC was
organized exclusively for the purpose of benefiting and accomplishing public purposes of the City by
promoting, assisting, and enhancing economic development activities for the City as provided by the
Development Corporation Act of 1979. The business and affairs are managed by a five -member board of
directors appointed by the governing body of the City. PEDC is fiscally dependent upon the City as the City
Council approves their budgets and must approve any debt issuance. However, the component unit does not
qualify for blending because the component services directly benefit the community rather than the City itself.
Complete financial statements for PEDC may be obtained at its administrative office at 1125 Bonham Street,
Paris, Texas 75460.
C. Basis of Presentation - Government -Wide Financial Statements
While separate government -wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The
governmental column incorporates data from governmental funds while business -type activities incorporate
data from the government's enterprise funds. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds
and proprietary funds. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable
with a specific function or segment.
As discussed earlier, the government has one discretely presented component unit, PEDC. PEDC is shown in a
separate column in the government -wide financial statements.
D. Basis of Presentation — Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the government's funds, including its discretely
presented component unit. Separate statements for each fund category — governmental and proprietary — are
presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each
displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as
nonmajor funds. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the
fund financial statements.

CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2020
I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Basis of Presentation — Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for and reports all financial
resources not accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for and reports financial resources that are restricted, committed, or
assigned to expenditures for principal and interest.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for and reports financial resources that are restricted, committed, or
assigned to expenditures for capital outlay.
The City reports nonmajor funds as Other Governmental Funds which include Special Revenue Funds and
a Permanent Fund as follows:
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources
that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specific purposes other than for debt service or
capital projects.
The Permanent Fund is used to account for and report resources that are restricted to the extent that
only earnings and not principal may be used.
The City reports the following enterprise funds as one major fund:
The Water Fund accounts for the water distribution system as well as the billings and collections for that
service.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the sewer system as well as the collection activities for that service.
During the course of operations, the City has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances
outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. While these
balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the
government -wide financial statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities (e.g., the
governmental and internal service funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal
balances in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business -type
activities (e.g., the enterprise fund) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in
the business -type activities column. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of
consolidation
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In the fund
financial statements, these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund
financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government -wide financial
statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that only the net
amount is included as transfers in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds
included in business -type activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the
business -type activities column.

I. Summgg of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
E. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis
of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial
resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for
recognition in the financial statements.
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability
is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year
for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of 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.
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt
service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are
recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other
financing sources.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, interest, and special assessments are susceptible to accrual. Sales taxes
are recognized as revenue in the period when the exchange transaction on which the tax is imposed occurs.
Other receipts and taxes become measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are recognized
as revenue at that time. 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.
The proprietary funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual
basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the
time liabilities are incurred. The proprietary fund is used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the governing body has decided that the
determination of revenues earned, costs incurred, and/or net income is necessary for management
accountability.
F. Budgetary Information
1. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for
all governmental funds except the capital projects fund, proprietary funds, and library trust fund. The
budget for the capital projects fund is legally adopted for specific projects and may exceed one year.
Formal budgetary integration is not employed for the proprietary funds. The City adopts an annual,
informal budget as a financial plan for all proprietary funds. The library trust fund includes nonbudgeted

financial activities, which are not subject to an appropriated budget and the appropriation process or to any
legally authorized nonappropriated budget review and approval process. The community development
block grant fund is not annually appropriated. The City has no special revenue funds which are reported as
major funds.
At the close of each fiscal year, any unencumbered appropriation balance (appropriations including prior
year encumbrances less current year expenditures and encumbrances) lapse or revert to the undesignated
fund balance.
At least thirty days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council
a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning on the following October 1. The operating budget,
which represents the financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year, includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them. Public hearings are conducted at which all interested persons' comments
concerning the budget are heard.
The budget for the next fiscal year is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance
not later than the twenty-seventh day of the last month of the fiscal year. If the City Council does not enact
the budget within this time period, then the budget as submitted by the City Manager becomes the legally
authorized budget.
2. Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
For the year ended September 30, 2020, expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the
department level for each legally adopted annual operating budget. The City Manager may, without
Council approval, transfer appropriation balances from one expenditure account to another within a
department or agency of the City. The City Council, however, must approve any transfer or unencumbered
appropriation balances or portions thereof from one department or agency to another. During the year
ended September 30, 2020, the City Council approved a transfer of $1,000,000 from various departments to
other departmental line items. Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the following departments: Council
$121,020, Manager $2,594, Clerk $1,729, Finance $99,215, Police $2,766,349, Fire $244,858, Community
Development $302,371, Sanitation $58,695, Health $1,049,041, and Other $39,721.
G. Assets, Liabilities, and Equity
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand,
demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from date of
acquisition.
2. Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value being
reported as part of investment income. The City also holds investments in an external investment pool,
Texas Local Government Investment Cooperative (LOGIC), managed by Southwest Securities Group, Inc.
PEDC holds investments in two external investment pools, Texas Class and Lone Star Investments. Both
investment pools carry investments at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments are

2. Investments (Continued)
priced daily and compared to the carrying value. If the ratio of the fair value of the portfolio of investments
to the carrying value of investments is less than .995 or greater than 1.005, the investment pools will sell
investment securities, as required, to maintain the ratio at a point between .995 and 1.005. Participation in
external investment pools was voluntary.
Statutes authorize the City and PEDC to invest in obligations of the U. S. Treasury, direct obligations of the
State of Texas, other obligations guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States,
obligations of states and political subdivisions of any state meeting certain rating requirements, certificates
of deposit, and fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date. The
City did not engage in repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement transactions during the current year.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value are prioritized according to a fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level I — Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level II — Fair values are based on generally indirect information such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active.
Level III — Fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are
unobservable and include the City's own assumptions about pricing.
This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level I inputs and the lowest priority to Level III
inputs. The City's investments are classified in Level II of the hierarchy.
3. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost using the first -in, first -out method. Inventories of governmental funds are
recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. An equivalent amount is reported as
nonspendable fund balance in the governmental funds.
4. Restricted Assets
Prior to the issuance of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, the City's Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds and Certificates of Obligation covenants required certain restrictions of net assets. After the
refunding occurred, these legal restrictions no longer existed. In order to safeguard the financial integrity of
the water and sewer system, the City Council approved a resolution establishing and maintaining funds
comparable to those required by the refunded bonds.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items) 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 $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two
years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.

CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2020
I. Summary of Significant Accounting. Policies (Continued)
G. Assets, Liabilities, and Equity (Continued)
5. Capital Assets (Continued)
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service
concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value at the date of donation. Infrastructure acquired
prior to the implementation of GASB 34 are included in the financial statements.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as an expense
during the period incurred.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component unit, is depreciated
using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and Improvements 20-40 years
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment 5-10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Works of Art 50 years
Public Domain Infrastructure 25-45 years
System Infrastructure 25-30 years
6. Capital Leases
Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease
payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed
using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets and is included in depreciation expense.
7. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
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
a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City reports a deferred outflow of resources related to
pensions and OPEB. See footnote IV. F. for further information.
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 so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The government has a deferred inflow of resources related to pensions
and OPEB. See IVY. for further information. In addition, the government has one type of item, which
arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category.
Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The
governmental funds report unavailable revenues from the following sources: property taxes, EMS,
municipal court, and street assessments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amount becomes available.

8. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted
bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted
— net position and unrestricted — net position in the government -wide and proprietary funds financial
statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be
applied.
It is the government's policy to consider restricted — net position to have been depleted before unrestricted
— net position is applied.
9. Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts
to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund
financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered
to be applied. It is the government's policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before
using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted
fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by
assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
10. Fund Balance Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations
requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The government itself can establish limitations on the
use of resources through either a commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund
balance).
The committed fund balance classification 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
governing council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the government that can, by
adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the
limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of
another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation. The City does not have any restricted fund balances
by enabling legislation.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific
purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The council allows the finance director
to assign the fund balance, and may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to
cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year's appropriated budget.
Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action
does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an
additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment.

H. Revenues and Expenditures/ Expenses
1. Program Revenues
Amounts reported as 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.
2. Property Taxes
The City's property taxes are levied on October 1 and are due no later than January 31 of the following
year. Taxes become delinquent February 1, after which time penalties and interest and, if not paid by July,
attorney's collection fees are added. A tax lien attaches to property (real and personal) on January 1 of each
year to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed on the property. The lien
is effective until all such amounts are paid.
3. Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick leave benefits are accumulated by City employees in accordance with guidelines
suggested in the City's personnel policies.
4. Proprietary Funds Operating and Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the water and sewer enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. The water and sewer
fund also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of
connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of
sales and service, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses
not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance — total governmental funds
and net position — governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of net position. One
element of that reconciliation explains that "capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds." The details of this $41,127,102 are as follows:

The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a
reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total governmental funds and changes in net position of
governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of activities. One element of that
reconciliation explains that "governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense." The details of this $2,663,451 difference are as follows:

Another element of that reconciliation states that "the net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving
capital assets (i.e., sales and donations) is to increase net position." The details of this $8,164 difference are as
follows:
In the statement of activites, only the gain on the sale of assets is
reported. However, in the governmental funds, the proceeds from
the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net
position differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the
capital assets sold. $ (14,467)
Donations of capital assets increase net position in the statement
of activities, but do not appear in the governmental fund because
they are not financial resources. 22,631
Total Governmental Funds to Arrive at Changes in Net Position
of Governmental Activities $ 8,164
Another element of that reconciliation states that "the issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, leases) provides
current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect
on net position. Also, governmental funds report the premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first
issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities." The details of
this $33,379 difference are as follows:

A. Cash and Cash Equivalents
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 policy requires deposits to be secured by collateral valued at market or par, whichever is lower, less the
amount of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. Collateral agreements must be
approved prior to deposit of funds as provided by law.
At September 30, 2020, the City had deposits with a carrying amount of $24,261,087, and the bank's balances
were $25,702,624. The City was not exposed to custodial credit risk since deposits are insured or collateralized
with securities held by the pledging financial institution's agent in the name of the City.
B. Investments
As of September 30, 2020, the City had the following investments:

The City invested in the Texas Local Government Investment Cooperative (LOGIC) Liquid Asset Portfolio.
LOGIC is a public funds investment pool managed by Southwest Securities Group, Inc. LOGIC uses amortized
cost rather than market value to report net position to compute share prices. Accordingly, fair value of the
position of LOGIC is the same as the net asset value of LOGIC shares. LOGIC issues an annual report that can
be obtained upon request. The accounts remain open at September 30, 2020. However, the City had a zero
balance at year end.
The City invested in Texas Cooperative Liquid Assets Security System (Texas CLASS) Trust. Texas CLASS
was created as an investment pool for its participants pursuant to Section 2256.016 of the Public Funds
Investment Act, Texas Government Code, or other laws of the State of Texas governing the investment of funds
of a participant or funds under its control. Texas CLASS is administered by Cutwater Investor Services Corp.
with Wells Fargo Bank Texas, NA as the Custodian. Texas CLASS is supervised by a Board of Trustees who
are elected by the participants. Texas CLASS uses amortized cost rather than market value to report net position
to compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position in Texas CLASS is the same as the net asset
value of Texas CLASS shares. Texas CLASS issues a publicly available annual report that can be obtained at
www.texasclass.com.
Interest rate risk is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest
investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and
conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. The City's investment
portfolio is designed with the objective of attaining an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and
economic cycles and commensurate with the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics
of the portfolio. The City's investment strategy is active. Given this strategy, the basis used by the Finance

formal policy related to interest rate risk is included in the City's adopted investment policy.
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations to the holder of the
investment. This type of risk is typically expressed in terms of the credit ratings issued by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The City and PEDC reduce the risk of issuer default by limiting
investments to those instruments allowed by the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas
Government Code.
Concentration credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single
issuer. With the exception of obligations of the United States or its agencies and authorized pools, no more than
50% of the City's total investment portfolio will be invested in a single financial institution with the exception
of its local depository. PEDC's investment balance consists of only externally pooled accounts.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in
the possession of an outside party. In accordance with the City's deposit and investment policy, all deposits
placed at a financial institution shall be insured or collateralized with applicable State law.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that an investment denominated in the currency of a foreign country could
reduce in value as a result of changes in currency exchange rates. At September 30, 2020, the City was not
exposed to foreign currency risk.
C. Accounts Receivable and Payable
Amounts are aggregated into a single accounts receivable (net of allowance for uncollectibles) line for certain

1. Texas Municipal Retirement System
Plan Description
The City of Paris participates as one of 888 plans in the nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined
benefit pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is an agency
created by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8,
Texas Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple -employer retirement system for municipal
employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of the
System with a six -member Board of Trustees. Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's defined benefit
pension plan is a tax -qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan financial
statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. TMRS issues a publicly available
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that can be obtained at www.tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the city are required to participate in TMRS.

Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and the
city -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may choose to
receive their retirement benefit in one of seven payments options. Members may also choose to receive a
portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36 monthly
payments, which cannot exceed 75% of the member's deposits and interest.
Upon retirement, benefits depend on the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and the City -
financed monetary credits, with interest. City -financed monetary credits are composed of three sources:
prior service credits, current service credits, and updated service credits. At the inception of the plan, the
City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began (or prior service credits) of a
theoretical amount at least equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with
interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began (or current
service credits) are 150% of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant,
either annually or on an annually repeating basis, another type of monetary credit referred to as Updated
Service Credit. This monetary credit is determined by hypothetically recomputing the member's account
balance by assuming that the current member deposit rate of the City has always been in effect. The
computation also assumes that the member's salary has always been the member's average salary — using a
salary calculation based on the 36 -month period ending a year before the effective date of calculation. This
hypothetical account balance is increased by 3% each year, not the actual interest credited to member
accounts in previous years, and increased by the City match currently in effect. The resulting sum is then
compared to the member's actual account balance increased by the actual City match and actual interest
credited. If the hypothetical calculation exceeds the actual calculation, the member is granted a monetary
credit (or Updated Service Credit) equal to the difference between the hypothetical calculation and the
actual calculation times the percentage adopted. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of
the employee's contributions, with interest, and the City -financed monetary credits, with interest, were used
to purchase an annuity.
The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state
statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the City were as follows:

Employees Covered by Benefit Terms.
At the December 31, 2019, valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the
benefit terms:
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits 227
Inactive Employees Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 144
Active employees 246
Total 617
Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of an employee's gross earnings, and
the City matching percentages are either 100%, 150%, or 200%, both as adopted by the governing body of the
City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually by the
actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an
additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 6% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal year.
The contribution rates for the City were 6.95% and 7.18% in calendar years 2019 and 2020, respectively. The
City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended September 30, 2020, were $852,884 and were equal to the
required contributions.
Net Pension Liability
The City's Net Pension Liability was measured as of December 31, 2019, and the Total Pension Liability
(TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2019, actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall payroll growth 3.5% to 11.5%, including inflation
Investment Rate of Return 6.75%

Actuarial Assumptions (Continued)
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and
beneficiaries were based on the gender -distinct 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Table. The
rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale UMP to account for future mortality
improvements. For disabled annuitants, the mortality tables for healthy retirees are used with a 4 -year set -
forward for males and a 3 -year set -forward for females. In addition, a 3.5% and 3% minimum mortality
rate is applied to reflect the impairment for younger members who become disabled for males and females,
respectively. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by scale UMP to account for future
mortality improvements subject to the floor.
The actuarial assumptions were developed from the actuarial investigation of the experience of TMRS over
the four year period from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018. They were adopted in 2019 and used
in the current valuation. The post-retirement mortality assumption for healthy annuitants and Annuity
Purchase Rate (APRs) were updated based on the mortality experience investigation study dated December
31, 2013, but as part of the most recent experience study, the valuation assumes the mortality used for the
ARPs and for valuation purposes will be equivalent over the longer term.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 6.75%. The pension plan's policy in
regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by the TMRS Board of
Trustees. Plan assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation as
well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding needs of TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and
best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the
rates specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plan's Fiduciary Net Position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive
employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all
periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

2. Firefighters' Relief and Retirement Fund
Plan Description
The Paris Firefighters' Relief and Retirement Fund, a single -employer defined benefit pension plan, is
established under the authority of the Texas Local Firefighters' Retirement Act and is administered by a
Board of Trustees made up of three members elected from and by the fund's members, two representatives
of the City of Paris, Texas, and two citizen members. Specified plan provisions are governed by a plan
document and a trust agreement executed by the Board of Trustees. The plan is an independent entity for
financial reporting purposes and issues a stand-alone financial statement. A copy of the audited financial
statement may be obtained from the Board of Trustees, Paris Firefighters' Relief and Retirement Fund, P.O.
Box 9037, Paris, Texas 75461. Governing state law requires public retirement systems to hire an actuary to
make a valuation at least once every three years of the assets and liabilities of the system and to determine
if the assumptions and methods are reasonable. The plan financial statements are prepared using the
accrual basis of accounting. All plan investments are reported at fair value.
Eli ibili
The plan covers current and former firefighters of the City of Paris, Texas, as well as certain beneficiaries.
The City of Paris contributes 14% of each member's total pay (including regular, longevity, and overtime
pay but excluding lump sum distributions for unused sick leave or vacation). Fund members contribute to
the fund at a rate of 16% of pay.
Employee contributions are "picked up" by the City of Paris, Texas, as permitted under Section 414(h)(2)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Fund members receive credit for service for the period during which
they pay into and keep on deposit in the fund, the contributions required by the fund.
The fund was established August 28, 1941, and was most recently amended effective August 31, 2019.
Contributions
The City's annual required contribution to the plan for fiscal year 2020 was based on a payroll of
$2,817,872 and amounted to $393,157. Covered employees made contributions of $450,860.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2019, valuation date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Service Retirement Disability and Death Benefits
A member is eligible for service retirement upon the earlier of (a) the date that the member has both
attained age 55 and completed 20 years of service or (b) the date as of which the sum of the member's age
and years of service first equals 80 provided the member has completed 20 years of service. A member
who retires under the service retirement provisions of the fund will normally receive a monthly benefit
equal to $94 multiplied by his/her years of service at retirement. The minimum service retirement
benefit is $500 per month. Service retirement benefits are payable for the member's lifetime. In the event
the member's death precedes that of his/her spouse, two-thirds of the member's pension will be
continued to the spouse for his/her lifetime. An active member who becomes disabled will receive a
monthly disability benefit. If a member dies while in active service, his/her widower) will receive an
immediate monthly benefit, payable for his/her lifetime.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The actuarial valuation date used to determine the total pension liability for the year ended September 30,
2020, and the most current available information required for disclosure under GASB Statement No. 67 is
based on an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2018, rolled forward to December 31, 2019. The
actuarial cost method used in the December 31, 2018, valuation is the entry age service actuarial cost
method. This method is also referred to as the entry age actuarial cost method under the terminology
developed by the Joint Committee on Pension Terminology. There has been no change in the actuarial cost
method since the last actuarial valuation.
The assumed rate of return was developed using both the plan's historical rates of return and expected
future rates of return. Rate of return experience studies have been performed in connection with the plan's
valuations.
The demographic assumptions were chosen based on expected future rates of retirement, mortality,
disability, and termination. Mortality was taken from published studies and was updated to reflect expected
future improvement. Retirement and salary increase rates were developed based on the plan's own
experience. Disability and termination rates were based on published rates, adjusted as necessary, to
conform to the plan's own experience.
Both economic and demographic assumptions were further tested through the calculation of the plan's
aggregate experience with respect to both demographic decrements and economic assumptions.

G. Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Obligations
1. Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
Plan Description
The City also participates in the single -employer defined benefit group -term life insurance plan operated by the
Texas Municipal Retirment System (TMRS) known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). SDBF
covers both active and retiree benefits with no segregation of assets, and therefore doesn't meet the definition of
a trust under GASB No. 75 (i.e., no assets are accumulated for OPEB). The City elected, by ordinance, to
provide group -term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The City may terminate
coverage under and discontinue particiapation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any
year to be effective the following January 1.

G. Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Obligations (Continued)
1. Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (Continued)
Benefits
Payments from this fund are similar to group -term life insurance benefits, and are paid to the designated
beneficiaries upon the receipt of an approved application for payment. The death benefit for active employees
provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated based on the
employee's actual earnings, for the 12 -month period preceding the month of death). The death benefit for
retirees is considered an "other post -employment benefit" (OPEB) and is a fixed amount of $7,500. The
obligations of this plan are payable from the SDBF and are not an obligation of, or a claim against, the Pension
Trust Fund.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the December 31, 2019 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by benefit
terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 173
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 34
Active employees 246
Total 453
Contributions
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the participating member
city. The contractually required contribution rate is determined annually for each city. The rate is based on
mortality and service experience of all employees covered by the SDBF and the demographics specific to the
workforce of the City. There is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the
employer contribution rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The funding policy for the SDBF
program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming
year; the intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during employees' entire careers.
Employees of the City were not required to contribute to the OPEB plan during the fiscal year. The contribution
rates for the City were 0.25% of gross earnings in calendar year 2019 and 2020. The City's TMRS SDBF for the
year ended September 30, 2020 were $29,938 and were equal to the required contributions.

The City Council appoints the governing board of an entity which is legally separate from the City. The City is
not able to impose its will on this entity, and a financial benefit/burden relationship is not present; therefore, it is
considered a related organization.
O. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies,
principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute
a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor
cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently
determinable, it is the opinion of the City's counsel that resolution of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.

O. Contingent Liabilities (Continued)
The City has incurred certain asset retirement obligations related to the operation of its wastewater utility
system. The estimated liability of the legally required closure costs for the wastewater utility system cannot be
reasonable estimated as of September 30, 2020, since the specific legally required costs of retirement have not
yet been identified. The City anticipates identifying those specific legally required costs and obtaining an
estimate of those costs in a subsequent fiscal year.
P. Tax Abatements
As of September 30, 2020, the City provides tax abatements through two progams-Industrial and Residential:
1. Industrial abatements are possible for manufacturing, research, regional distribution, regional services,
regional tourist entertainment, basic industry, and any primary jobs creating industry. The property involved
must be newly created or improvements to an existing facility. Abatements may be extended to the value of
buildings, structures, fixed machinery and equipment, site improvements, tangible personal property, and office
space and improvements necessary to the operation and administration of the facility. Inventory and supplies
are not eligible for abatement. The City Council grants abatements on a case by case basis. The abatement is
stated as a percentage of the eligible property under consideration and for a specified period of time up to ten
years. The City has a written industrial tax abatement policy. Provisions for recapturing abated taxes, if any, are
included in this policy.
2. Residential abatements are granted for five year periods. The property involved must be new
residential structures or improvements to existing structures that will be at least a 20% increase in the previous
appraised value of the property. The abatements are stated as a percentage of the increased value using the
following schedule: Year 1-100%, Year 2-100%, Year 3-80%, Year 4-60%, and Year 5-40%. The City has a
standard written residential tax abatement agreement. Provisions for recapturing abated taxes, if any, are
included in this policy.

Sources: Outstanding debt and applicable percentages provided by each governmental unit.
Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with geographic boundaries of the City.
This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne
by the property taxpayers of the City of Paris. This process recognizes that, when considering the
government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the property
taxpayers should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident,
and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.

Legal Debt Margin Information
September 30, 2020
Unaudited
The maximum tax rate permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas constitution is $2.50 per $100 of
assessed valuation. Consequently, no legal debt margin can be calculated. The state attorney general has traditionally
allowed up to $1.50 per $100 valuation to be applied to debt service. The City levied a tax rate of $.51608 per $100
valuation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.

* Sales taxes increased from the prior year due to a one time collection of an amount due from a prior period. This collection alone would
have provided the City a 13.50% increase in sales taxes. The remaining increase is consistent with the expected sales tax revenues due to
the recovering local economy.

Independent Auditors' 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 Mayor and City Council
City of Paris, Texas
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 discretely
presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Paris, Texas
(the City), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated August 30, 2021.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control.
A deficiency in internal 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. Given these
limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material
weaknesses. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs as items 2020-01, 2020-02, and 2020-03 that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City'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 financial statements. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Paris, Texas
City of Paris, Texas' Response to Findings
The City's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. The City's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results
of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

review bank reconciliations prepared by finance department staff.
Cause: Account reconciliations were not accurate in the clearing of outstanding items and were not
properly reviewed by management to ensure accuracy.
Effect: As a result of this condition, cash reconciliations misrepresented cash balance at year end.

outstanding items and that management review and approve reconciliations monthly. Any reconciling items
should be investigated and corrected in a timely manner.

Criteria: The City's management should be responsible for preparing period -end financials including
recording recurring and non-recurring adjustments to the financial statements.

procedures used to analyze transactions compromising general ledger activity and controls over recording
recurring and non-recurring adjustment to the financial statements.
Cause: Journal entries to adjust accounts to proper balance are not consistently recorded.

We have audited the City of Paris, Texas' (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the City's major
federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2020. The City's major federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditors' 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.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City's major federal programs based on our
audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards
and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material
effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's
compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program.
However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended
September 30, 2020.
128
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Paris, Texas
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City of Paris, Texas, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit
of compliance, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could
have a direct and material effect on each major federal program 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 the City's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis.
A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than
a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those 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 did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
