INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Governing Board
City of Clear Lake
Clear Lake, South Dakota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, the modified cash basis of accounting financial statements of the governmental
activities and the business-type activities, each major fund, of the City of Clear Lake, South Dakota (City), as of
December 31, 2018, and for each of the years in the biennial period then ended, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon
dated June 10, 2020.
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) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for
the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph 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. However, as
described in the accompanying Schedule of Current Audit Findings, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal
control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
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 combination of deficiencies, in internal
control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Municipality’s financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiencies described
in the accompanying Schedule of Current Audit Findings as items 2018-001 and 2018-002 to be material
weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, and contracts,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit,
and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
VCity’s Response to Findings . 1 __ is .- i .‘ _ _ _ - - . 1 ., ' A Z»The City’s response to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying Schedule ofCurrentAudit Findings. The Municipality’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.Purpose ofthis ReportThe purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and theresults of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Municipality’s internal control oron compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government AuditingStandards in considering the cntity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, thiseommunication is notsuitable for any other purpose. As required by South Dakota Codified Law 4-l 1-1 l, this report is a matter ofpublicrecord and its distribution is not limited. _.

SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS
PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS:
Finding Number 2016-001:
The auditor assisted in the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosures to the
financial statements. The City does not have the staff to be able to complete the preparation of the financial
statements. This will be restated as a current audit finding number 2018-001.
Finding Number 2016-002:
The City did not file its audit and Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the
9 months of the last audited as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). This was
corrected in 2017.

CITY OF CLEAR LAKE, SOUTH DAKOTA
SCHEDULE OF CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS
Internal Control-Related Findings – Material Weaknesses:
Finding # 2018-001: Financial Statement Preparation
Criteria – Proper controls over financial reporting include an adequate system for recording and processing
entries material to the financial statements, as well as the ability to prepare financial statements and
accompanying notes to the financial statements that are materially correct.
Condition – The City’s internal control system is designed to provide monthly financial statement. Due to time
constraints for the Finance Officer has not designed the annual financial statements in the accounting system.
The City has requested that the auditors draft the financial statements and the accompanying notes to the
financial statements. The City additionally requested that the auditors to prepare journal entries to convert the
financial statements from the accrual basis to the modified cash basis.
Cause – The City does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the
financial statements being audited.
Effect – Inadequate controls over financial reporting of the City results in the likelihood that the City would not
be able to draft the financial statement and accompanying notes to the financial statements that are materially
correct without the assistance of the auditors.
Recommendation – While we recognize that this condition is not unusual in an organization of your size, it is
important that you be aware of this condition for financial reporting purposes. Management and the City
Council should continually be aware of the financial reporting of the City and changes in reporting
requirements.
Response – We are aware of the risk associated with not preparing our financial statements, but believe our
review of the financial statements to be adequate to reduce this risk.
Conclusion – Response accepted.
Finding # 2018-002: Segregation of Duties
Criteria – Proper controls over segregation of duties for revenues, expenditures and payroll resulting in
decreased reliability of reported financial data and increase potential for the loss of public assets.
Condition – Two financial officers processed all revenue transactions from beginning to end. The staff were
able to receive money, issue receipts, record receipts, post receipts in the accounting records, prepare bank
deposits, reconcile bank statements and prepare financial statements.
Cause – The City has a limited budget so the employees are cross-trained and perform their duties as necessary
to fill the administrative needs of the City.
Effect – In order to achieve proper internal control, it is necessary to have segregation of duties provided
between performance, review and record keeping of the tasks related to revenues, expenditures and payroll.
Lack of this segregation of duties could adversely affect the City’s ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial data consistent with management assertions.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City of Clear Lake’s officials be cognizant of this lack of
segregation of duties for revenues, expenditures and payroll and attempt to provide compensating controls
whenever and wherever possible and practical.
Response – The City Council will continue to monitor the Finance Office’s revenue process through monthly
council reports and the implementation of compensating internal controls, whenever, and wherever possible.
Conclusion – Response accepted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the City Council of
City of Clear Lake
Clear Lake, South Dakota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the business type
activities, each major fund, of City of Clear Lake (City), Clear Lake, South Dakota, as of December 31, 2018 and
for each of the years in the biennial period then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1.c.; this includes determining that the
modified cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the
circumstances. Management is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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 of 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 City’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 City’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.

CITY OF CLEAR LAKE
NOTES TO THE MODIFIED CASH BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As discussed further in Note 1.c., these financial statements are presented on a modified cash basis of
accounting. The modified cash basis of accounting differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). Generally accepted accounting principles include all relevant Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements.
a. Financial Reporting Entity:
The reporting entity of the City of Clear Lake (City), consists of the primary government (which includes
all of the funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments, and offices that make up the legal entity,
plus those funds for which the primary government has a fiduciary responsibility, even though those
fiduciary funds may represent organizations that do not meet the criteria for inclusion in the financial
reporting entity); those organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable; and
other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government
are such that their exclusion would cause the financial reporting entity’s financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary
government are financially accountable. The City is financially accountable if its Governing Board
appoints a voting majority of another organization’s governing body and it has the ability to impose its will
on that organization, or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or
impose specific financial burdens on, the City (primary government). The City may also be financially
accountable for another organization if that organization is fiscally dependent on the City.
The Housing and Redevelopment Commission of the City of Clear Lake, South Dakota (Commission) is a
proprietary fund-type, discretely-presented component unit. The five members of the Commission are
appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the Governing Board, for five-year, staggered terms. The
Commission elects its own chairperson and recruits and employs its own management personnel and other
workers. The Governing Board, though, retains the statutory authority to approve or deny or otherwise
modify the Commission’s plans to construct low-income housing units, or to issue debt, which gives the
Governing Board the ability to impose its will on the Commission. Separately issued financial statements
of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission may be obtained from the Clear Lake City Hall.
b. Basis of Presentation:
Government-wide Financial Statements:
The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities display information about the reporting entity as
a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity except for fiduciary funds. The statements
distinguish between governmental, business-type activities and discretely presented component units.
Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-
exchange revenues. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external
parties for goods or services. Discretely presented component units are legally separate organizations that
meet certain criteria, as described in note 1.a., above, and may be classified as either governmental or
business-type activities. See the discussion of individual component units in Note 1.a., above.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each
segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental
activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and,
therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by
recipients of goods and services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted
to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified
as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
28
Fund Financial Statements:
Fund financial statements of the reporting entity are organized into funds, each of which is considered to
be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures /expenses. Funds are
organized into two major categories: governmental and proprietary. An emphasis is placed on major funds
within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating
fund of the City or it meets the following criteria:
1. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or enterprise
fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type, and
2. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or enterprise
fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds
combined, or
3. Management has elected to classify one or more governmental or enterprise funds as major for
consistency in reporting from year to year, or because of public interest in the fund’s operations.
The funds of the City financial reporting entity are described below:
Governmental Funds:
General Fund – The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund is always
considered to be a major fund.
Special Revenue Funds – Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources (other than trusts for individuals, private organizations, or other governments or for major capital
projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Liquor, Lodging and Dining Gross Receipts Tax Fund – to account for the collection of a one
percent tax on the gross receipts of lodgings, alcoholic beverages, prepared food and admissions
which tax shall be used for the purpose of land acquisition, architectural fees, construction costs,
payments for civic center, auditorium or athletic facility buildings, including the maintenance,
staffing, and operations of such facilities and the promotion and advertising of the city (SDCL 10-
52A-2). This fund may be established at the direction of the governing body through local
ordinance. This is a major fund.
Health Care Fund – to allocate sales tax receipts for the support of health care activities. This is a
major fund.
Library Fines Fund – A fund allowed by SDCL 14-2-42 to account for library related fines, similar
charges and donations to be used for library activities. The library fines is a major fund.
Debt Service Funds – Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and
the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
Sales Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service Fund – to account for sales taxes which may be used only
for the payment of the debt principal, interest, and related costs for the construction of a community
center facility. This is a major fund in 2017 and was closed in 2018.
Proprietary Funds:
Enterprise Funds – Enterprise funds may be used to report any activity for which a fee is charged to external
users for goods or services. Activities are required to be reported as enterprise funds if any one of the
following criteria is met. Governments should apply each of these criteria in the context of the activity's
principal revenue sources.
a. The activity is financed with debt that is secured solely by a pledge of the net revenues from fees
and charges of the activity. Debt that is secured by a pledge of net revenues from fees and charges and
the full faith and credit of a related primary government or component unit—even if that government
is not expected to make any payments—is not payable solely from fees and charges of the activity.
(Some debt may be secured, in part, by a portion of its own proceeds but should be considered as
payable "solely" from the revenues of the activity.)
29
b. Laws or regulations require that the activity's costs of providing services, including capital costs
(such as depreciation or debt service), be recovered with fees and charges, rather than with taxes or
similar revenues.
c. The pricing policies of the activity establish fees and charges designed to recover its costs,
including capital costs (such as depreciation or debt service).
Water Fund – financed primarily by user charges this fund accounts for the construction and
operation of the municipal waterworks system and related facilities. (SDCL 9-47-1) This is a
major fund.
Sewer Fund – financed primarily by user charges this fund accounts for the construction and
operation of the municipal sanitary sewer system and related facilities. (SDCL 9-48-2) This
is a major fund.
c. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting:
Measurement focus is a term used to describe “how” transactions are recorded within the various financial
statements. Basis of accounting refers to “when” revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in
the accounts and reported in the financial statements, regardless of the measurement focus.
The City’s basis of accounting is the modified cash basis, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (USGAAP). Under USGAAP, transactions are recorded in the
accounts when revenues are earned and liabilities are incurred. Under the modified cash basis, transactions
are recorded when cash is received or disbursed.
Measurement Focus:
Government-wide Financial Statements:
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus, applied within the
limitations of the modified cash basis of accounting as defined below.
Fund Financial Statements:
In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic
resources” measurement focus is used, applied within the limitations of the modified cash basis of
accounting.
Basis of Accounting:
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities and the fund financial
statements, governmental, business-type, and component unit activities are presented using a modified cash
basis of accounting.
The modified cash basis of accounting involves the measurement of cash and cash equivalents and changes
in cash and cash equivalents resulting from cash receipt and disbursement transactions. Under the modified
cash basis of accounting, the statement of financial position reports only cash and cash equivalents (those
investments with terms to maturity of 90 days (three months) or less at the date of acquisition). Under the
modified cash basis of accounting, transactions are recorded in the accounts when cash and/or cash
equivalents are received or disbursed and assets and liabilities are recognized to the extent that cash has
been received or disbursed. The acceptable modification to the cash basis of accounting implemented by
the City in these financial statements is:
Recording long-term investments in marketable securities (those with maturities more than 90-days
(three months) from the date of acquisition) acquired with cash assets at cost.
Acceptable modifications to the cash basis of accounting implemented by the City in these financial
statements is the recording long-term investments in marketable securities (those with maturities more than
90-days (three months) from the date of acquisition) acquired with cash assets at cost.
As a result of the use of this modified cash basis of accounting, certain assets and their related revenues
(such as accounts receivable and revenue for billed or provided services not yet collected) and certain
liabilities and their related expenses (such as accounts payable and expenses for goods or services received
but not yet paid, and accrued expenses and liabilities) are not recorded in these financial statements.
30
If the City applied USGAAP, the fund financial statements for governmental funds would use the modified
accrual basis of accounting, while the fund financial statements for proprietary fund types and fiduciary
fund types would use the accrual basis of accounting. All government-wide financial statements would be
presented on the accrual basis of accounting.
d. Deposits and Investments:
For the purpose of financial reporting, “cash and cash equivalents” includes all demand and savings
accounts and certificates of deposit or short-term investments with a term to maturity at date of acquisition
of three months or less. Investments in open-end mutual fund shares, or similar investments in external
investment pools, are also considered to be cash equivalents.
Investments classified in the financial statements consist entirely of certificates of deposit whose term to
maturity at date of acquisition exceeds three months, and/or those types of investment authorized by South
Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) 4-5-6. Under the modified cash basis of accounting, investments are carried
at cost.
e. Capital Assets:
As discussed in Note 1.c. above, the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of
Activities and the fund financial statements, governmental, business-type, and component unit activities
are presented using a modified cash basis of accounting. The City has not elected to modify their cash basis
presentation by recording capital assets arising from cash transactions and depreciating those assets where
appropriate so any capital assets owned by the City and the related depreciation are not reported on the
financial statements of the City.
f. Long-Term Liabilities:
Long-term liabilities include, but are not limited to, General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds, Certificates
of Participation, Financing (Capital Acquisition) Leases, and Compensated Absences.
As discussed in Note 1.c. above the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities
and the fund financial statements, governmental, business-type, and component unit activities are presented
using a modified cash basis of accounting. The City has not elected to modify their cash basis presentation
by recording long-term debt arising from cash transactions so any outstanding indebtedness is not reported
on the financial statements of the City. The City does report the principal and interest payments on long-
term debt as Debt Service expenditures on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances. On the Statement of Activities the principal portion of these Debt Service payments is reported
within the appropriate expense function while the interest portion is reported as Interest on Long-Term
Debt.
The City has presented as Supplementary Information a Schedule of Changes in Long-Term Debt along
with related notes that include details of any outstanding Long-Term Debt.
g. Program Revenues:
Program revenues derive directly from the program itself or from parties other than the City’s taxpayers or
citizenry, as a whole. Program revenues are classified into three categories, as follows:
1. Charges for services – These arise from charges to customers, applicants, or others who purchase,
use, or directly benefit from the goods, services, or privileges provided, or are otherwise directly
affected by the services.
2. Program-specific operating grants and contributions – These arise from mandatory and voluntary
non-exchange transactions with other governments, organizations, or individuals that are restricted
for use in a particular program.
3. Program-specific capital grants and contributions – These arise from mandatory and voluntary
non-exchange transactions with other governments, organizations, or individuals that are restricted
for the acquisition of capital assets for use in a particular program.
31
h. Proprietary Funds Revenue and Expense Classifications:
In the proprietary fund’s Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, revenues and
expenses are classified as operating or non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues and
expenses directly relate to the purpose of the fund.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The City pools the cash resources of its funds for cash management purposes. The proprietary funds
essentially have access to the entire amount of its/their cash resources on demand. Accordingly, each
proprietary fund’s equity in the cash management pool is considered to be cash and cash equivalents for
the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows.
j. Equity Classifications:
Government-wide Financial Statements:
Equity is classified as Net Position and is displayed in two components:
1. Restricted Net Position – Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use either by (a)
external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other
governments; or (b) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
2. Unrestricted Net Position – All other net position that do not meet the definition of Restricted Net
Position.
Fund Financial Statements:
Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance, and may distinguish between “Nonspendable”,
“Restricted”, “Committed”, “Assigned”, and “Unassigned” components. Proprietary fund equity is
classified the same as in the government-wide financial statements.
k. Application of Net Position:
It is the City’s policy to first use restricted net position, prior to the use of unrestricted net position, when
an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available.
l. Fund Balance Classification Policies and Procedures:
In accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting
and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, the City classifies governmental fund balances as follows:
• Nonspendable – includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because it is not in
spendable form or because of legal or contractual constraints.
• Restricted – includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which are
externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or amounts constrained due to constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation.
• Committed – includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are
internally imposed by the government through formal action of the highest level of decision-making
authority and does not lapse at year-end.
• Assigned – includes fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes that
are neither considered restricted or committed. Fund Balance may be assigned by the City Council.
• Unassigned – includes positive fund balance within the General Fund which has not been classified
within the above-mentioned categories and negative fund balances in other governmental funds.
The City Governing Board restricted and committed the following fund balance types by taking the
following action:
Fund Balance Type - Restricted Action
Amount
12/31/18
Amount
12/31/17
Liquor, Lodging & Dining Gross Receipts Tax Fund State Statute 41,727.43 37,146.91
Library Fines Fund State Statute 8,826.45 8,177.05
Sales Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service Fund Covenant - -
32
Fund Balance Type - Committed Action
Amount
12/31/18
Amount
12/31/17
Health Care Fund Ordinance 0.00 (0.53)
The City uses restricted/committed amounts first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is
available unless there are legal documents/contracts that prohibit doing this, such as a grant agreement
requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the Government would first use committed, then
assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made.
The City does not have a formal minimum fund balance policy.
The purpose of each major special revenue fund and revenue source is listed below:
Major Special Revenue Fund Revenue Source
Liquor, Lodging and Dining Gross Receipts Tax Fund Sales Tax
Health Care Sales Tax
Library Fines Fines and donations
Sales Tax Revenue Bond – Debt Service (ended in 2017) Sales Tax
2. Violations of Finance-Related Legal and Contractual Provisions
The City is prohibited by statute from spending in excess of appropriated amounts at the department level. The
Library Fines Fund went over its budget by $5,639.20 in 2017 and $2,389.21 in 2018.
The City expects to adopt supplemental appropriations to cover the expenditures that will exceed their original
appropriation.
3. Deposits and Investments Credit Risk, Concentrations of Credit Risk And Interest Rate Risk
The City follows the practice of aggregating the cash assets of various funds to maximize cash management
efficiency and returns. Various restrictions on deposits and investments are imposed by statutes. These
restrictions are summarized below:
Deposits – The City’s cash deposits are made in qualified public depositories as defined by SDCL 4-6A-1, 9-
22-6, 9-22-6.1 and 9-22-6.2, and may be in the form of demand or time deposits. Qualified depositories are
required by SDCL 4-6A-3 to maintain at all times, segregated from their other assets, eligible collateral having
a value equal to at least 100 percent of the public deposit accounts which exceed deposit insurance such as the
FDIC and NCUA. In lieu of pledging eligible securities, a qualified public depository may furnish irrevocable
standby letters of credit issued by federal home loan banks accompanied by written evidence of that bank’s
public debt rating which may not be less than “AA” or a qualified public depository may furnish a corporate
surety bond of a corporation authorized to do business in South Dakota.
Investments – In general, SDCL 4-5-6 permits City funds to be invested only in (a) securities of the United
States and securities guaranteed by the United States Government either directly or indirectly; or (b) repurchase
agreements fully collateralized by securities described in (a) above; or in shares of an open-end, no-load fund
administered by an investment company whose investments are in securities described in (a) above and
repurchase agreements described in (b) above. Also, SDCL 4-5-9 requires investments to be in the physical
custody of the political subdivision or may be deposited in a safekeeping account with any bank or trust
company designated by the political subdivision as its fiscal agent.
As of December 31, 2018, the City did not have any investments.
Credit Risk – State law limits eligible investments for the City, as discussed above. The City has no investment
policy that would further limit its investment choices.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits – The risk that, in the event of a depository failure, the City’s deposits may
not be returned to it. The City does not have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk. As of December 31,
2018 and 2017 the City’s deposits in financial institutions were not exposed to any custodial credit risk.
33
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments – The risk that, in the event of the counterparty to a transaction, the City
will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the City had no investments.
Concentration of Credit Risk – The City places no limit on the amount that may be invested in any one issuer.
Interest Rate Risk – The City does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a
means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.
Assignment of Investment Income – State law allows income from deposits and investments to be credited to
either the General Fund or the fund making the investment. The City’s policy is to credit all income from
deposits and investments to the fund making the deposit.
4. Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied on or before October 1, of the year preceding the start of the fiscal year. They attach
as an enforceable lien on property, and become due and payable as of January 1, the first day of the fiscal year.
Taxes are payable in two installments on or before June 10 and October 31 of the fiscal year.
The City is permitted by several state statutes to levy varying amounts of taxes per $1,000 of taxable valuation
on taxable real property in the City.
5. Restricted Net Position
Restricted Net Position for the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:
Other Purposes:
Customer Deposits 3,500.00$
Gross Receipts Tax 41,727.43
Library Fines 8,826.45
Total Restricted Net Position 54,053.88$
These balances are restricted due to statutory requirements.
6. Interfund Transfers
Interfund transfers for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
12/31/2018 12/31/2017
Transfers From: Transfer to:
Sales Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service General Fund -$ 56,250.52$
The City paid the final bond payment in 2017. The remaining balance was transferred to the General Fund and
closed the Sales Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service Fund.
7. Tax Abatements
Both the City of Clear Lake and Deuel County have in place a discretionary formula to spur development within
the City and County. The rate of taxation of evaluation of new Non-Residential, Ag, Industrial and Commercial
structures or additions in the County and addition to the County’s property the City includes residential
structures. Under the limits defined in SDCL 10-6-35.22, 10-6-35.24 and 10-6-35.25 shall be set at (A) for the
first year – 20% of the full and true value thereof; (B) for the second year – 40% of the full and true value
thereof; (C) for the third year - 60% of the full and true value thereof; (D) for the fourth year – 80% of the full
and true value thereof; (E) for the fifth year – 100% of the full and true value thereof. The County’s Director
of Equalization (DOE) applies this discretionary formula to all properties that qualify, but only after the
individual or entity has already built the structure or addition. These discretionary programs do not meet the
definition of a tax abatement under GASB 77, since it more closely resembles a broad tax exemptions or
deductions rather than individual tax abatement agreements
8. Prior Period Adjustments
The City adopted to change its basis of accounting from the accrual basis of accounting to the modified cash
basis, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (USGAAP).
34
Under USGAAP, transactions are recorded in the accounts when revenues are earned and liabilities are incurred.
Under the modified cash basis, transactions are recorded when cash is received or disbursed. As a result,
beginning fund balance/net position has been restated to reflect the impact of the change to the prior period as
of January 1, 2017 as follows for pages 23 and 26:

9. Pension Plan
Plan Information:
All employees, working more than 20 hours per week during the year, participate in the South Dakota
Retirement System (SDRS), a cost sharing, multiple employer hybrid defined benefit pension plan administered
by SDRS to provide retirement benefits for employees of the State of South Dakota and its political
subdivisions. The SDRS provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. The right to receive retirement
benefits vests after three years of credited service. Authority for establishing, administering and amending plan
provisions are found in SDCL 3-12. The SDRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained at
http://sdrs.sd.gov/publications.aspx or by writing to the SDRS, P.O. Box 1098, Pierre, SD 57501-1098 or by
calling (605) 773-3731.
Benefits Provided:
SDRS has three different classes of employees, Class A general members, Class B public safety and judicial
members, and Class C Cement Plant Retirement Fund members.
Members that were hired before July 1, 2017, are Foundation members. Class A Foundation members and
Class B Foundation members who retire after age 65 with three years of contributory service are entitled to an
unreduced annual retirement benefit. An unreduced annual retirement benefit is also available after age 55 for
Class A Foundation members where the sum of age and credited service is equal to or greater than 85 or after
age 55 for Class B Foundation judicial members where the sum of age and credited service is equal to or greater
than 80. Class B Foundation public safety members can retire with an unreduced annual retirement benefit
after age 55 with three years of contributory service. An unreduced annual retirement benefit is also available
after age 45 for Class B Foundation public safety members where the sum of age and credited service is equal
to or greater than 75. All Foundation retirements that do not meet the above criteria may be payable at a reduced
level.
Members that were hired on/after July 1, 2017, are Generational members. Class A Generational members and
Class B Generational judicial members who retire after age 67 with three years of contributory service are
entitled to an unreduced annual retirement benefit. Class B Generational public safety members can retire with
an unreduced annual retirement benefit after age 57 with three years of contributory service. At retirement,
married Generational members may elect a single-life benefit, a 60 percent joint and survivor benefit, or a 100
percent joint and survivor benefit. All Generational retirement benefits that do not meet the above criteria may
be payable at a reduced level. Generational members will also have a variable retirement account (VRA)
established, in which they will receive up to 1.5 percent of compensation funded by part of the employer
contribution. VRAs will receive investment earnings based on investment returns.
Legislation enacted in 2017 established the current COLA process. At each valuation date:
• Baseline actuarial accrued liabilities will be calculated assuming the COLA is equal to long-term
inflation assumption of 2.25%.
• If the fair value of assets is greater or equal to the baseline actuarial accrued liabilities, the COLA
will be:
o The increase in the 3rd quarter CPI-W, no less than 0.5% and no greater than 3.5%.
• If the fair value of assets is less than the baseline actuarial accrued liabilities, the COLA will be:
o The increase in the 3rd quarter CPI-W, no less than 0.5% and no greater than a restricted
maximum such that, that if the restricted maximum is assumed for future COLAs, the fair
value of assets will be greater or equal to the accrued liabilities.
All benefits except those depending on the Member’s Accumulated Contributions are annually increased by the
Cost-of-Living Adjustment.
Contributions:
Per SDCL 3-12, contribution requirements of the active employees and the participating employers are
established and may be amended by the SDRS Board. Covered employees are required by state statute to
contribute the following percentages of their salary to the plan; Class A Members, 6.0% of salary; Class B
36
Judicial Members, 9.0% of salary; and Class B Public Safety Members, 8.0% of salary. State statute also
requires the employer to contribute an amount equal to the employee’s contribution. The City’s share of
contributions to the SDRS for the calendar years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, equal to the
required contributions each year, were as follows:
Year Amount
2018 13,491.35$
2017 12,411.20$
2016 11,929.51$
Pension Assets, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources
to Pensions:
At June 30, 2018, SDRS is 100.02% funded and accordingly has a net pension asset. The proportionate share
of the components of the net pension asset of South Dakota Retirement System, for the City as of this
measurement period ending June 30, 2018 and reported by the City as of December 31, 2018 are as follows:
Proportionate share of pension liability 1,272,529.15$
1,272,771.75$
Proportionate share of net pension (asset) (242.60)$
Less proportionate share of net pension
restricted for pension benefits
At December 31, 2018, the City reported a liability (asset) of $ (242.60) for its proportionate share of the net
pension liability (asset). The net pension liability (asset) was measured as of June 30, 2018 and the total pension
liability (asset) used to calculate the net pension liability (asset) was based on a projection of the City’s share
of contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all participating entities. At June 30, 2018,
the City’s proportion was 0.01040210%, which is an increase (decrease) of 0.0004454% from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the City recognized pension expense (reduction of pension expense) of
$18,190.77. At December 31, 2018 the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions from the following sources:

measurement date.
The City reported $6,686.74 as deferred outflow of resources related to pensions resulting from contributions
subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year
ending December 31, 2019. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense (reduction of pension expense) as follows:

Total 51,484.20
Actuarial Assumptions:
The total pension liability (asset) in the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.25 percent
Salary Increases Graded by years of service, from 6.50% at entry to 3.00% after 25
years of service
Discount Rate 6.50% net of plan investment expense
Mortality rates were based on 97% of the RP-2014 Mortality Table, projected generationally with Scale MP-
2017, white collar rates for females and total dataset rates for males. Mortality rates for disabled members were
based on the RP-2014 Disabled Retiree Mortality Table, projected generationally with Scale MP-2017.
Investment portfolio management is the statutory responsibility of the South Dakota Investment Council
(SDIC), which may utilize the services of external money managers for management of a portion of the
portfolio. SDIC is governed by the Prudent Man Rule (i.e., the council should use the same degree of care as a
prudent man). Current SDIC investment policies dictate limits on the percentage of assets invested in various
types of vehicles (equities, fixed income securities, real estate, cash, private equity, etc.). The long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a 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. Best estimates of real rates of return for each major asset class
included in the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of June 30, 2018 (see the discussion of the pension
plan’s investment policy) are summarized in the following table using geometric means:
Asset Class
Target
Allocations
Long-Term Expected
Real Rate of Return
Global equity 58.0% 4.8%
Fixed Income 30.0% 1.8%
Real Estate 10.0% 4.6%
Cash 2.0% 0.7%
total 100.0%
Discount Rate:
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.50%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution
rate and that matching employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the member rate. Based on these
assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all future benefit
payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability
(asset).

Sensitivity of liability (asset) to changes in the discount rate:
The following presents the City’s proportionate share of net pension liability (asset) calculated using the
discount rate of 6.50%, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) would
be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage point lower (5.50%) or 1-percentage point
higher (7.50%) than the current rate:
1% Decrease
Current
Discount
Rate 1% Increase
City's proportionate share of the net
pension liability (asset) 183,231.82$ (242.60)$ (149,489.09)$
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position:
Detailed information about the plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued SDRS financial
report.
10. Component Unit and Contingencies
The City has guaranteed payment of a Revenue Bond issued to the Clear Lake Housing and Redevelopment
Commission (HRC), a component unit of the City, for up to 25% of $342,553.19.
The City has loaned the HRC a total of $15,071 to support debt service obligations against a non-interest-
bearing note with an open due date.
11. Going Concern
The City is not aware of any conditions or events existing that would cause doubt of the City continuing as a
going concern for a reasonable period of twelve months after the financial statement date of issue.
12. Related Party Transactions
One of the Council Members was paid $980 in 2018 and $1,120 in 2017 for spraying.
13. Significant Contingencies – Litigation
At December 31, 2018, the City was not involved in any litigation during 2018 or 2017.
14. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the
City managed its risks as follows:
Employee Health Insurance:
The City joined the South Dakota City League Health Pool of South Dakota. This is a public entity risk pool
currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for South Dakota local government
entities. The City pays a monthly premium to the pool to provide health insurance coverage for its employees.
The pool purchases reinsurance coverage with the premiums it receives from the members. The coverage
includes a no lifetime maximum payment per person.
Liability Insurance:
The City joined the South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance (SDPAA), a public entity risk pool currently
operating as a common risk management and insurance program for South Dakota local government entities.
The objective of the SDPAA is to administer and provide risk management services and risk sharing facilities
to the members and to defend and protect the members against liability, to advise members on loss control
guidelines and procedures, and provide them with management services, loss control and risk reduction
information and to obtain lower costs for that coverage. The City’s responsibility is to promptly report to and
cooperate with the SDPAA to resolve any incident which could result in a claim being made by or against the
City. The City pays a Members’ Annual Operating Contribution, to provide liability coverage detailed below,
under a claims-made policy and the premiums are accrued based on the ultimate cost of the experience to date
39
of the SDPAA member, based on their exposure or type of coverage. The City pays an annual premium to the
pool to provide coverage for General liability, property and building, vehicle, and enhanced crime coverage.
Effective January 1, 2018, SDPAA revised the method of calculating the amount available to be refunded to a
withdrawing member. Upon giving proper written notice to the SDPAA a member may withdraw. Within 120
days following withdrawal, or as soon thereafter as the next Annual Budget is completed, the SDPAA will
advise the withdrawing member of its total calculated portion of contributions made to SDPAA that shall be
refunded. Refunds are calculated based on the pool’s total contributions, along with the member’s total
contribution, current losses, unpaid losses, and loss expenses, the member’s loss ratio, and number of
membership years.
A member who withdraws from the SDPAA shall receive a calculated portion of their contributions refunded
for unpaid casualty losses, based on the following schedule:
All refunds shall be paid to the withdrawing Member over a five-year term.
The amount available for refund to the City is considered a deposit for financial reporting purposes.
As of December 31, 2018, the City’s balance available to be refunded per the SDPAA was $36,879.00, which
was an increase of $17,134.13 from the previous year. The change in the amount available for refund was not
recorded since the City reports on a modified cash basis.
The City carries a $0 deductible for governmental general liability coverage and $1,000 deductible for City
property.
The City does not carry additional insurance to cover claims in excess of the upper limit. Settled claims
resulting from these risks have not exceeded the liability coverage during the past three years.
Worker's Compensation:
The City joined the South Dakota City League Worker's Compensation Fund (Fund), a public entity risk pool
currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for South Dakota local government
entities. The objective of the Fund is to formulate, develop, and administer, on behalf of the member
organizations, a program of worker’s compensation coverage, to obtain lower costs for that coverage, and to
develop a comprehensive loss control program. The City’s responsibility is to initiate and maintain a safety
program to give its employees safe and sanitary working conditions and to promptly report to and cooperate
with the Fund to resolve any worker’s compensation claims. The City pays an annual premium, to provide
worker's compensation coverage for its employees, under a self-funded program and the premiums are accrued
based on the ultimate cost of the experience to date of the Fund members. Coverage limits are set by state
statute. The pool pays the first $650,000 of any claim per individual. The pool has reinsurance which covers
up to statutory limits in addition to a separate combined employer liability limit of $2,000,000 per incident.
The City does not carry additional insurance to cover claims in excess of the upper limit. Settled claims
resulting from these risks have not exceeded the liability coverage over the past three years.
Unemployment Benefits:
The City provides coverage for unemployment benefits by paying into the Unemployment Compensation Fund
established by state law and managed by the State of South Dakota.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, no claims for unemployment benefits were paid. At December 31,
2018, no claims had been filed for unemployment benefits and none are anticipated in the next fiscal year.
15. Subsequent Events
The City has evaluated for subsequent events through June 10, 2020, the date which the financial statements
were available to be issued. The City is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements. A nonrecognized subsequent event has occurred, but the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic cannot be determined for the City at this time.

CITY OF CLEAR LAKE
NOTES TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
SCHEDULES OF BUDGETARY COMPARISONS FOR THE GENERAL FUND
Note 1. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting:
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the schedules:
1. At the first regular board meeting in September of each year or within ten days thereafter, the City
Council introduces the annual appropriation ordinance for the ensuing fiscal year.
2. After adoption by the City Council, the operating budget is legally binding and actual expenditures for
each purpose cannot exceed the amounts budgeted, except as indicated in number 4.
3. A line item for contingencies may be included in the annual budget. Such a line item may not exceed
5 percent of the total municipal budget and may be transferred by resolution of the City Council to any
other budget category that is deemed insufficient during the year.
4. If it is determined during the year that sufficient amounts have not been budgeted, state statute allows
the adoption of supplemental budgets.
5. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year end unless encumbered by resolution of the City Council.
6. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the
General Fund and special revenue funds.
Note 2. Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting Modified Cash Basis/Budgetary Accounting Basis
Differences
The financial statements prepared in conformity with USGAAP applied within the context of the modified
cash basis of accounting present capital outlay expenditure information in a separate category of
expenditures. Under the budgetary basis of accounting, capital outlay expenditures are reported within the
function to which they relate. For example, the purchase of a new fire truck would be reported as a capital
outlay expenditure on the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances, however in the Budgetary SI Schedule, the purchase of a fire truck would be reported as an
expenditure of the Public Safety/Fire Department function of government, along with all other current Fire
Department related expenditures.

NOTES TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Schedule of Pension Contributions and Schedule of the
Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset)
Changes of benefit terms:
No significant changes.
Changes of assumptions:
Legislation enacted in 2017 modified the SDRS COLA. For COLAs first applicable in 2018, the SDRS COLA will
equal the percentage increase in the most recent third calendar quarter CPI-W over the prior year, no less than 0.5%
and no greater than 3.5%. However, if the FVFR assuming the long-term COLA is equal to the baseline COLA
assumption (currently 2.25%) is less than 100%, the maximum COLA payable will be limited to the increase that
if assumed on a long-term basis, results in a FVFR equal to or exceeding 100%. That condition existed as of June
30, 2017 and exists again this year as of June 30, 2018. Future COLAs are assumed to equal the current restricted
maximum COLA which was 1.89% as of June 30, 2017 and is 2.03 as of June 30, 2018.
The changes in actuarial assumptions increased the Actuarial Accrued Liability by 1.5% of the Actuarial Accrued
Liability based on the 1.89% COLA, reflecting the current and assumed future restricted maximum COLA of
2.03%.
