INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes
to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 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.
2
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
as of June 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position, and where applicable, cash
flows thereof 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, budgetary comparison information, and pension liability
schedules on pages 4 through 10 and 68 through 76 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 Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s basic financial statements. The
budgetary comparison fund financial statements and combining nonmajor fund financial
statements 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 (CFR) Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The budgetary comparison fund financial statements, combining nonmajor fund financial
statements, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
3
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison
fund financial statements, combining nonmajor fund financial statements, and the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February
7, 2022, on our consideration of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s internal control over
financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results
of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Cape Girardeau,
Missouri’s 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 Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The discussion and analysis of the City of Cape
Girardeau’s financial performance provides an
overall review of the City’s financial activities
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The
intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at
the City’s financial performance as a whole.
Readers should also review the basic financial
statements and related notes to those statements
to enhance their understanding of the City’s
financial performance.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City
of Cape Girardeau exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows at the close of the most
recent fiscal year by $373,022,268 (net
position).
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the
City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $51,037,987.
Approximately 4.5% of this total amount,
$2,321,766 is available for spending at the
government’s discretion (unassigned fund
balance).
At the end of the current fiscal year, the
unassigned fund balance for the general fund
was $3,491,216 or 11.2% of total general
fund expenditures and transfers.
At the end of the current fiscal year, general
fund balance reserved for emergencies was
$3,214,442 or 10.3% of total general fund
expenditures and transfers.
o The City’s total long-term debt decreased by
$4,346,539 (4.9%) during the current fiscal
year as a result of new debt, early payoff and
amortization and regularly scheduled
principal payments.
During the year $10,300,000 in new debt was
issued to fund a new City Hall project. The
debt service on the new debt will be repaid
from a new capital improvement sales tax
which replaced an expiring capital
improvement sales tax which had previously
supported the construction of the City’s sewer
plant.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to
serve as an introduction to the City of Cape
Girardeau’s basic financial statements.
The City of Cape Girardeau’s basic financial
statements are comprised of 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 themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements.
The government-wide financial statements are
designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the City of Cape Girardeau’s
finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The statement of net position presents
information on all the City’s assets, deferred
outflows, liabilities and deferred inflows, with
the difference between the total of assets and
deferred outflows and liabilities and deferred
inflows 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 is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information
showing how the City’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes
in the net position are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change
occurs, regardless of the timing of the related
cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in the 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
Cape Girardeau 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 Cape
Girardeau include administrative services,
development services, parks and recreation,
public safety, and public works. The business-
CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI
5
type activities of the City include sewer, water
and solid waste utilities and golf course, indoor
sports complex and sports complexes operations.
The government-wide financial statements can
be found on pages 11 to 12 of this report.
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 Cape Girardeau, 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 can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary
funds, and fiduciary 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
statement, 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 the 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
governmental 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 Cape Girardeau maintained 28
individual governmental funds during the current
year. 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, general capital improvement
and transportation trust V, which are considered,
or have been designated, to be major funds of the
City. Data from the other governmental funds
are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation.
The City of Cape Girardeau adopts annual
appropriated budgets for all its governmental
funds except the special revenue funds that are
foundations and the capital project funds which
have project length budgets. Budgetary
comparison statements have been provided for
all major governmental funds as part of the
financial statements to demonstrate compliance
with this budget.
Basic governmental fund financial statements
can be found on pages 13 to 16 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The City of Cape Girardeau
maintains two types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in
the government-wide financial statements.
The City used enterprise funds to account for its
sewer, water, and solid waste utilities and its golf
course, indoor sports complex, and sports
complexes operations. Internal service funds are
an accounting device used to accumulate and
allocate costs internally among the City’s various
functions. The City uses internal service funds
to account for operation of its information
technology systems, fleet management, self-
insured employee benefits and workmen’s
compensation programs, and its internal
equipment leasing program.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of
information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The proprietary
fund financial statements provide separate
information for the sewer, water, and solid waste
utilities. All of these are considered, or have
been designated, to be major funds of the City.
Data from the other proprietary funds are
combined into a single aggregated presentation.
The internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary
fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements
can be found on pages 17 to 21 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 beginning on page 24 of 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. The City of Cape Girardeau’s
assets and deferred outflows exceeded its
liabilities and deferred inflows by $373,022,268,
an increase of $19,134,328 (5.4%). The City’s
net investment in capital assets (land, buildings,
machinery, and equipment less related
outstanding debt used to acquire those assets) of
$326,409,149 makes up 87.5% of the City’s net
position.
Although the City’s investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be
noted that the resources needed to repay this debt
Activity in the following revenue and expense items should be noted for the current fiscal year:
Revenues from General Fund activities:
• During the current fiscal year, the City saw the following changes in its significant revenue sources:
o General Taxes (Sales, Property, Franchise, and other) – $1,107,939 increase over prior year.
▪ Represents 71.65% of current year General Fund Revenue
o Licenses and Permits - $200,965 increase over prior year.
▪ Represents 7.16% of current year General Fund Revenue
o Charges for Services - $226,729 increase over prior year.
▪ Represents 3.09% of current year General Fund Revenue
o Fines and Forfeits- $44,386 decrease over prior year.
▪ Represents 1.71% of current year General Fund Revenue
• Operating and Capital grants and contributions increased $2,978,644 from the previous year. The increase
surrounding grants and contributions is primarily driven by federal funds related to the CARES Act and
American Rescue Plan funds provided to the City and the Airport. This will continue and increase as the City
continues to spend these funds on designated projects through December 2024.
• Sales tax revenue was 44.80% of the total General Fund revenue during the current year. This year’s revenue
was $1,032,794 (9.93%) more than the previous year. The large increase of the sales tax through the pandemic
is driven by federal stimulus payments from the federal government. The payments are projected to slow and
eventually end thus not allowing the growth rate to be sustainable in the long -term.
• Other taxes were $75,145 above the previous year. These include franchise taxes, property, merchant licenses,
liquor licenses, cigarette taxes, and economic activity taxes.
o Franchise tax paid during the current year by the City’s cable TV service providers decreased $14,453 from
the previous year. The decline related to less revenue from city’s cable service providers. In future years
this revenue source will continue to decline due to changes to the State’s use tax legislation that will lower
this charge from the current 5% fee to 2.5% over 5 years beginning in 2023.
• The convention and tourism taxes saw increases during the current year. The restaurant tax increased by
$66,330 and hotel/motel tax increased by $112,175 from the previous year. The increases in the year over year
numbers were heavily driven by the fiscal year 2019-2020 revenues being hurt by COVID-19 closures and
cancelations of events and closure of some venues.
• Gaming revenue received by the casino revenue fund and the riverfront development fund increased $420,883
and $59,498 from the previous year. The Casino was closed approximately 2.5 months during the prior year as a
result of COVID-19 which drastically affected the prior year numbers resulting in significant increases this
year. Revenues in casino revenue fund for the current year is still lower than the pre-pandemic revenues by
$206,554.
• Interest and investment revenue in the General Fund decreased $37,954, while investment revenue decreased
$765,161 for all governmental funds during the current year.
CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI

Expenses from General Fund activities:
• Total General Fund expenses increased $997,960 (3.92%) over the previous year. With capital outlay increasing
$457,669 and operating expenses in the Public Safety division increasing $500,623 they represent the majority
of the overall increase in expenditures in the General Fund for the current year.
• Full-time and Part-Time salary expense decreased $1,045 in the General Fund and $207,443 for all funds during
the current year. Overtime salary expense increased $18,633 in the General Fund and $26,377 for all funds
during the current year. The current year included a 1% across the board wage increase at the beginning of the
year.
• Annual cost of the City’s employee health and dental plan and it workmen’s compensation plan reflects actual
claims incurred during the year. The cost of these plans increased (decreased) $(30,460) and $507,499,
respectively, during the current year. During the previous year the cost of these plans increased (decreased)
$(53,103) and $266,215, respectively.
• Interest and other costs expenses totaled $1,076,976 this year which was $41,630 more than the previous year.

• The City implemented rate increases in Residential Water, Residential Trash and Commercial Water of 2.52%,
4.63% and 4.55% respectively at the beginning of the current year.

• Total Proprietary expense variations are as follows:
o Sewer Fund - $616,344 decrease over prior year
o Water Fund - $321,040 increase over prior year
o Solid Waste Fund - $16,752 decrease over prior year
o Golf Course - $51,561 decrease over prior year
o Indoor Sports Complex - $80,090 increase over prior year

o Water decreased $123,353
o Solid Waste decreased $183,960

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Cape Girardeau uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s
governmental funds is to provide information on
near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of
spendable resources. Such information is useful
in assessing the City’s financing requirements.
In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve
as a useful measure of the City’s net resources
available for spending at the end of a fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s governmental
funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $ 51,037,987, an increase of $5,762,539
(12.73%) from the prior year. Unassigned fund
balances, which are available for spending at the
City’s discretion, account for $2,321,766
(4.55%) of the total fund balances.
The remainder of the fund balances are classified
as non-spendable, restricted, committed, or
assigned to indicate that they are not available
for new spending. The following are the amounts
and classification of the remaining fund balances
at June 30, 2021: (1) $2,872,455 is classified as
non-spendable because it is either (a) not in
spendable form or (b) legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact (2) $42,462,953
is classified as restricted because it can be spent
only for specific purposes because of restrictions
by external parties, constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation 3) $1,537,213 is classified
as committed because it can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints
imposed by formal action of the City Council 4 )
$1,743,600 is classified as assigned because its
expenditure is constrained by the City’s intent to
use it for specific purposes.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of
the City. At the end of fiscal year ending June,
unassigned fund balance of the general fund was
$3,491,216 while total fund balance was
$7,177,905. 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 only 13.2% of total general
fund expenditures including transfers.
However, included in the restricted fund balance is
$3,404,268, which had been reserved to meet the
required City Charter emergency reserve. This
amount represents 12.9 percent of total general fund
expenditures including transfers and could be used if
an emergency was declared by the City Council.
The Governmental Funds Statement of Revenue,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance shows that
the total fund balance of the City of Cape Girardeau’s
general fund increased by $1,409,315 as a result of the
current year’s operations.
Proprietary funds. The City of Cape Girardeau’s
enterprise funds, Sewer, Water and Solid Waste, are
presented as major funds for purposes of this report
while Golf Course, Indoor Sports Complex and
Sporting Complexes funds are reported as non-major
funds.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Excess general fund revenues and unrestricted fund
balances were used to fund all appropriations that did
not have an identified funding source.
During the year departments may transfer budget
appropriations between various expense types within
their department.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. The City of Cape Girardeau’s
investment in capital assets for its governmental and
business-type activities as of June 30, 2021 amounts
to $399,124,720 (net of accumulated depreciation).
This investment in capital assets includes all land,
buildings and system improvements, machinery and
equipment, and infrastructure owned by the City.
Long-term debt.
At the end of the fiscal year, the City of Cape
Girardeau had total debt outstanding of
$107,225,362. Bonded debt outstanding totaling
$60,442,893 is secured by revenues of the sewer and
water funds and capital improvement sales taxes.
The repayment of the remaining debt is subject to
annual appropriations.
The City’s total long-term debt increased by
$2,104,597 (2.00%) during the current fiscal year as a
result of $10,300,000 in new debt, the early payoff of
$566,900 of bonds and $7,516,434 in amortization
and regularly scheduled principal payments.
CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI

During the year $10,300,000.00 in new debt was
issued to fund a new City Hall project and other
Capital Improvement Sales Tax projects. The
debt service on the new debt will be repaid from
a new capital improvement sales tax which
replaced an expiring capital improvement sales
tax which had previously supported the
construction of the City’s sewer plant.
More information about the City’s outstanding
debt can be found in note E to the financial
statements.
Economic Factors and the Next Year’s Budget
Local Retail Economy.
Sales tax is a significant revenue source of the
City and is a barometer of the local economy. In
the current year sales tax revenue from the
general sales tax increased 9.93%. The current
year’s sales tax revenue was impacted by
COVID-19 but in a positive manner. Sales tax
revenue increased at an above standard rate. An
analysis of recent federal stimulus programs
were found to be the leading factor in the
increase. Once factoring in the amount of funds
provided to the citizens of Cape Girardeau it was
found that without the stimulus payments it was
likely that sales tax revenue would have been flat
over the prior year. This leaves a cause for
concern going into future years that lack of
growth in the sales tax revenue could lead the
City to not be able to grow with inflation on a
regular basis.
Use Tax
In November 2021, the citizens of Cape
Girardeau voted to approve a use tax on the
purchase of goods via the internet. This approval
will lower the City’s dependence on the sales
tax. Over recent years with the growth of internet
shopping and Missouri’s lack of a standardized
use tax to capture the sales has left the City of
Cape Girardeau at a disadvantage. This passage
will allow the City to capture the revenue
leakage that was growing annually due to the
continuous increase in internet sales. In addition,
following the passage it was discovered that the
revenue would begin January 1, 2022 instead of
the expected 2023 as was stated in the
legislation. This revenue stream will allow the
City to uphold the promise of strengthening its
employee pay and benefits to get them
competitive in the market we compete in. This has
led to the implementation of the revised pay plan as
proposed to the City Council. It will host a 5.5%
increase to the pay plan in fiscal year 2023 and 6.2%
in fiscal year 2024.
Regional Retail Center.
The City is heavily dependent on sales tax revenue
for support of its general fund services. Above
average growth of local retail sales can have a
positive impact on the City’s ability to fund services
in the future.
Cape Girardeau continues to be a regional retail
center for much of Southeast Missouri and Southern
Illinois. Since 2017 the City’s share of the local
retail market has improved modestly.
Local Economic Development.
In the previous 15 years the City has entered into 6
long-term development agreements to reimburse
companies for public improvements associated with 5
retail development projects and a hotel / convention
center development project from additional sales tax
generated from those projects. The agreements have
resulted in the addition of three major new retailers,
the relocation and expansion of another major
retailer, the addition of a 168 room hotel and related
20,000 square foot convention center, and in the
conversion of a former Sears’s facility into a call
center. Details of these agreements can be found in
Note T in the Notes to the Financial Statements
section.
The City is continuing to market its 247.43 acre
business park site purchased in February, 2013 from
the Southeast Missouri University Foundation and
located along I-55 around the LaSalle interchange.
The land will be used for future business
development and is best suited for distribution
centers, light manufacturing, technology-related
businesses and retail development. The City is
exploring grant options for improvements to the
industrial park to expedite growth.
Revenue Limitations
The state Hancock Amendment requires the City
obtain simple majority voter approval to increase any
permit or license fee that is not based on actual costs
to the user and strictly limits the City’s ability to
increase its real estate and personal property tax
levies to support its general services such as police
and fire protection. The City Charter requires voter

approval to increase sewer, water, and solid
waste fees by more than 5% in any year. All
other user fees can be adjusted to cover actual
costs.
Budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 and
financial condition
The adopted general fund budget for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2021, was projected to
produce a balanced budget and included a 5.5%
increase to the revised pay plan effective July 1,
2022. Projected revenues used in preparing the
budget were based on conservative revenue
assumptions that assumed no further negative
impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the City’s current financial position
has deteriorated over the past five years it still
has more than adequate fund balance to cover
existing claims and potential emergencies. With
the recent passage of the Use Tax and recent
strength in the sales tax numbers the City is
recovering from the prior financial issues it
faced. In addition, a more aggressive and robust
approach to the retirement of debt in all areas the
City is positioning itself to strengthen its
financial position over the next few fiscal cycles.
The City’s general fund ended the current year
with $3,491,216 (125% increase) in unassigned
fund balance.

Net Change in fund balances - total governmental funds (Statement 4)5,784,088$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of
activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However,
in the government-wide statement of activities and changes in net position,
the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives
as depreciation expense. This is the amount of capital assets expended
in the current period.19,584,879
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-
wide statement of activities and changes in net position, but it
does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore,
depreciation expense is not reported as an expenditure in governmental funds.(10,006,380)
Changes in the net OPEB obligation related to the cost of providing future
post-retirement healthcare costs to the City's employees that do not
require current financial resources are reported on the statement of
activities but not in the governmental funds.39,655
Changes in compensated absences does not require the use of current financial
resources and is therefore not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 385,354
Revenues in the statement of activities that do no provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in governmental funds.923,808
Changes in the assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows and outflows related to the
city's employee retirement plan that occurred during the current year that do
not require current financial resources are reported on the statement of
activities but not in the governmental funds. 3,510,751
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds) 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 issuance cost, premium, discounts, and similar items when
debt is first issued, whereas the 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.(7,731,666)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of management
information systems, fleet management, employee fringe benefits, workmen's
compensation, and equipment replacement to the individual funds.
Their assets and liabilities are included in governmental activities in the statement
of net position.(299,552)

City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri (the City) operates under a charter, which went into effect
April 12, 1982. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides
the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety (police and fire), highways and
streets, water, sanitation, health and social services, culture-recreation, public improvement,
planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant accounting policies of the
City are described below.
1. Reporting Entity
In evaluating how to define the City, for financial reporting purposes, management has
considered all potential component units. Generally, component units are legally separate
organizations for which the elected officials of the City are financially accountable. The Cape
Girardeau (Missouri) Public Facilities Authority (CGPFA) is a blended component unit of the
City. The financial statements of the CGPFA are included in the accompanying financial
statements of the City. The Cape Girardeau Parks Development Foundation (CGPDF) is also a
component unit of the City. The financial statement of this foundation is included as a special
revenue fund in the accompanying financial statements.
The CGPFA is a not-for-profit corporation organized and existing under Chapter 355 of the
Revised Statutes of Missouri. The CGPFA board of directors consists of City officials and City
Council members. Due to the significant City influence and financial accountability, the
activities of the CGPFA are blended with the financial presentation of the City. The CGPFA
executed a bond indenture for the purpose of issuing and securing the Series 2009 Bonds. These
bonds were used for the construction of various storm water control improvements, Cape Splash
Family Aquatic Center, Shawnee Park Community Center, and various other park related
improvements. The CGPFA entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with the City from which
the lease payments were used solely to retire the debt. All debt was retired and remaining assets,
$162.10 in cash, were returned to the City prior to the current year. No activity occurred during
the current year.
The CGPDF is a not-for-profit corporation organized and existing under Chapter 355 of the
Revised Statutes of Missouri. The CGPDF board of directors consists of Park and Recreation
Board members and one City Council member. Due to the significant City influence and
financial accountability, the activities of this foundation are included in the financial presentation
of the City. This foundation was established to receive donations to be used for the benefit of the
City.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Although not component units of the City, the City handles the funds of and provides accounting
and other services for the Cape Girardeau Public Library and the SEMO Metropolitan Planning
Organization. Since these funds are held by the City, these entities are shown as Custodial Funds
in the financial statements.
2. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government
and its component units. The effect of inter-fund 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.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
3. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized
as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. With
the economic resources measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with operations
are reflected in the statement of net position.

City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual
basis, 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 City generally considers
revenues to be available if they are collected within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal
period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting.
3. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation -
Continued
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Those revenues susceptible
to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes, special assessments, licenses, interest revenue, and
charges for services. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City
also are recognized as revenue. Fines and permit revenues are not susceptible to accrual
because, generally, they are not measurable until received in cash. With the current financial
resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on
the balance sheet.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The general fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources
of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The general capital improvements fund accounts for the receipts and expenditures of capital
projects.
The transportation sales tax trust fund V accounts for the receipt and expenditure of a
capital improvement sales tax that was approved by voters for street construction and
improvements.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The sewer fund accounts for the operation of the City’s sewage treatment plant, sewage
pumping stations, and collection systems.
The water fund accounts for the operation of the City’s water treatment plants and
distribution systems.
The solid waste fund accounts for the operation of the City’s residential solid waste and
recycling programs.

Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds account for the management of information systems, fleet
management, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, and equipment leasing provided
to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
Custodial funds account for the operations of the Cape Girardeau Public Library and the
SEMO Metropolitan Planning Organization.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other
charges between the City’s enterprise function and various other functions of the government.
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
It is the City’s policy to first use restricted net resources prior to the use of unrestricted net
resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net
resources are available.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as
general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds and of the City’s internal service
funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds
and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported
as non-operating revenues and expenses.
4. Cash and Investments
The City maintains an internal investment pool for the majority of its non-restricted cash and
investments and a small portion of its restricted cash and investments. Investment revenue is
allocated to each fund based on its average equity balance in the pool.
28
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Cash includes amounts in repurchase agreements and other short-term investments with a
maturity date within three months of the date of purchase.
Investments with a maturity date of one year or more at the time of purchase are recorded at fair
value. All other cash and investments are recorded at cost or amortized cost.
5. Capital Assets
All capital assets with an original cost exceeding $5,000 are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Additions are recorded at cost
or, if contributed property, at their estimated fair value at time of contribution. Repairs and
maintenance are recorded as expenses; renewals and betterments are capitalized. The sale or
disposal of capital assets is recorded by removing cost and accumulated depreciation and
charging the resulting gain or loss to income.
Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is charged as an expense against operations in
proprietary funds and a program cost of governmental activities in the statement of activities.
Assets are reported net of depreciation on proprietary fund and government-wide statement of
net position. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives using the straight-
line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings 25-50 years
Improvements 10-40 years
Equipment 3-10 years
When applicable, interest costs are capitalized on self-constructed capital assets.
6. Encumbrances
Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services.
Encumbrance accounting is utilized in all funds. Encumbrances outstanding at the end of the
year in the governmental funds are reported as assigned fund balances and do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be carried forward and honored during
the subsequent year. Encumbrances outstanding in the proprietary funds do not constitute
expenses but will be honored in the subsequent year. No reservations of net assets are made for
encumbrances outstanding at the end of the year on the proprietary fund and government -wide
statement of net position.
7. Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of supplies, valued at cost. The cost of inventories is recorded as
expenditures or expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
8. Inter-fund Transactions
Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made
from it that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the
reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
All other inter-fund transactions, except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are
reported as transfers. Only net transfers between governmental and business-type activities are
reflected on the government-wide statement of activities.
9. Bond Premiums, Discounts, and Issuance Costs
In governmental fund types, bond premiums, discounts, and issuance costs are recognized in the
current period. Bond premiums and discounts for proprietary fund types are deferred and
amortized over the term of the bonds. Bond issuance costs are recognized in the current period
for proprietary fund types. Bond premiums and discounts are presented as either increases or
reductions of the face amount of bonds payable. The accounting treatment of bond premiums,
discounts, and issuance costs used for governmental activities in the government-wide statements
is the same as that used for proprietary funds.
10. Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond June 30, 2021 are
recorded as prepaid items.
11. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for the
repayment of such bonds, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use
is limited by applicable bond covenants. The “revenue bond construction” account is used to
report those proceeds of revenue bond issuances that are restricted for use in construction. The
“revenue bond current debt service” account is used to report resources set aside to make up
potential future deficiencies in the revenue bond current debt service account.
12. Long-Term Obligations
Only that portion of long-term obligations expected to be financed from expendable available
financial resources is reported as a fund liability of a governmental fund. Long-term liabilities
expected to be financed from proprietary fund operations are accounted for in the appropriate
proprietary fund. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental activities are
accounted for in the government-wide statement of net position.

13. Receivables
Receivables are stated at the amount the City expects to collect. Receivables are reduced by
allowances for uncollectible accounts that reflect management’s best estimate of probable losses.
These allowances are determined principally on the basis of historical experience for smaller
accounts. Larger receivables are reduced by allowances that reflect management’s best estimate
of probable losses based on specific information known about the troubled accounts. Small-
balance accounts are normally written off when over 12 months delinquent. Accounts not
expected to be collected within the next 12 months are reported as Non-current on the Statement
of Net Position only if management estimates the customer has the ability and intent to pay the
balance due.
14. Compensated Absences
Vested or accumulated vacation leave and termination pay for proprietary funds are recorded as
expenses and liabilities of those funds as the benefits accrue to employees. Amounts of vested or
accumulated vacation leave and termination pay of governmental funds are reported in the
Statement of Net Position. Employees may accumulate up to 30 days of vacation, for which they
are compensated upon termination or retirement. Employees are not compensated for
accumulated sick leave upon termination but are compensated one hour for each eight hours of
unused sick leave upon retirement.
15. Short-Term Inter-fund Receivables/Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for
goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as “inter-
fund receivables/payables” on the governmental balance sheet and proprietary statement of net
position. Only net receivables between governmental and business-type activities are reflected
as internal balances on the government-wide statement of net position.
16. Advances to Other Funds
Noncurrent portions of long-term inter-fund loan receivables and payables are reported as
advances in the governmental balance sheet and proprietary statement of net position. Fund
balances equal to inter-fund loan receivables are reported as non-spendable on the governmental
balance sheet to indicate that they do not constitute expendable available financial resources and
therefore are not available for appropriation. Only net long-term inter-fund loans between
governmental and business-type activities are reflected as internal balances on the government-
wide statement of net position. Net assets are not reserved for inter-fund loan receivables on
proprietary and government-wide statements of net position.

17. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension asset / liability, deferred outflows of resources
and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information
about the fiduciary net position of the Missouri Local Government Employees Retirement
System (LAGERS) and additions to/deductions from LAGERS fiduciary net position have
been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LAGERS. For this purpose,
benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due
and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
18. Post-Employment Health Care Benefits
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note G, it is the City’s policy to provide
postretirement health care benefits to employees hired prior to July 1, 2010 who retired from the
City prior to April 1, 2012 with five or more years of service and who were eligible for LAGERS
retirement (Note G) or after April 1, 2012 after reaching their normal retirement ages through
LAGERS with five or more years of service. Currently, forty-five retirees and twenty-three
employees meet those eligibility requirements. The City provides health care coverage for them
until age 65. The costs of retirees’ health care benefits are recognized as expenditures as
premiums are paid. For the year ending June 30, 2021, those costs totaled $784,316.
COBRA Benefits - Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), the
City provides health care benefits to eligible former employees and eligible dependents. Certain
requirements are outlined by the federal government for this coverage. The premium is paid in
full by the insured on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month for the actual month covered.
This program is offered for the duration of 18 months after the termination date for employees
and their families and 36 months for surviving spouses and children. There is no associated cost
to the City under this program. There were four retiree spouses participating in the health
insurance program and five retiree spouses participating in the dental insurance program as of
June 30, 2021.
19. Infrastructure
The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets that allow the City to function. The
assets include the street system, water system, sewer system, parks and recreation lands and
improvement system, storm water system, and buildings combined with the site amenities such
as parking and landscaped areas used by the City in the conduct of its business. Infrastructure of
the water and sewer systems were routinely capitalized in the water and sewer funds of the City
and are reflected as other improvements in the business-type activities section on the statement
of activities.
During the year ended June 30, 2021 all infrastructures completed during the fiscal year,
including projects started in a previous year, were recorded at their historical costs.

NOTE G - PENSION PLAN
1. Plan Description
The City of Cape Girardeau’s defined benefit pension plan provides certain retirement, disability,
and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The City participates in the Missouri
Local Government Employees Retirement System (LAGERS). LAGERS is an agent multiple-
employer, statewide public employee pension plan established in 1967 and administered in
accordance with RSMo. 70.600-70.755. As such, it is LAGERS’ responsibility to administer the
law in accordance with the expressed intent of the General Assembly. The plan is qualified
under the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) and is tax exempt. The responsibility for the
operations and administration of LAGERS is vested in the LAGERS Board of Trustees
consisting of seven persons. LAGERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information. This report may be obtained by
accessing the LAGERS website at www.molagers.org.
2. Benefits Provided
LAGERS provides retirement, death, and disability benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by
the governing body of the employer, within the options available in the state statutes governing
LAGERS. All benefits vest after 5 years of credited service. Employees who retire on or after age
60 (55 for police and fire) with 5 or more years of service are entitled to an allowance for life
based upon the benefit program information provided below. Employees may retire with an early
retirement benefit with a minimum of 5 years of credited service and after attaining age 55 (50 for
police and fire) and receive a reduced allowance.
Effective September 1, 2018 the City began providing benefits to its current employees under the
LT-14 (65) benefit program available through LAGERS. Previously the City was providing
benefits to its current employees under the LT-8 (65) benefit program. Future benefits will be
based on the final 3 year average salary multiplied by 1.75% and by years of service. The future
benefits are multiplied by 2.00% until age 65. The final 3 year average equals the 36 consecutive
months of credited services, producing the highest monthly average during the last 120
consecutive months of credited service immediately preceding retirement.

NOTE G - PENSION PLAN – Continued
Benefit terms provide for annual post retirement adjustments to each member’s retirement
allowance subsequent to the member’s retirement date. The annual adjustment is based on the
increase in the Consumer Price Index and is limited to 4% per year.
3. Covered Employees
At June 30, 2021 the following employees were covered by the benefits terms:
Retirees and Beneficiaries 292
Inactive, Non-retired Members 172
Active Members 362
Total 826
4. Contributions
Full-time employees of the City of Cape Girardeau do not contribute to the pension plan. The
City is required to contribute amounts at least equal to the actuarially determined rate, as
established by LAGERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to
finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year. Additional adjustments are
made to these rates based on the over or under funded status of each plan with additional charges
to finance any unfunded accrued liability or credits to use a portion of the assets from plans that
have more assets than accrued liability. During the current year employer annual contribution
rates were 8.4% (General), 11.4% (Police) and 14.3% (Fire) of annual covered payroll.
The original annual required contribution (ARC) was determined as part of the February 28,
2021 annual actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method.
5. Net Pension Asset
The City’s net pension asset was measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total pension liability
used to calculate the net pension asset was determined by an actuarial valuation as of February
28, 2021.
6. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the February 28, 2021 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.75% wage inflation, 2.25% price inflation
Salary Increase 2.75% to 7.15% including wage inflation
Investment Rate of Return 7.00% net of investment expenses

The healthy retiree mortality tables, for post-retirement mortality, used in evaluating allowances
to be paid wee 115 percent of the PubG-2010 retiree for males and females. The disabled retiree
mortality tables, for post-retirement mortality, used in evaluating allowances to be paid were 115
percent of the PubNS-2010 disabled retiree mortality table for males and females. The pre-
retirement mortality tables used were 75 percent of the PubG-2010 employee mortality table for
males and females of general groups and 75 percent of the PubS -2010 employee mortality table
for males and females of the Police, Fire, and Public Safety groups. Mortality rates for a
particular calendar year are determined by applying the MP-2015 mortality improvement scale to
the above described tables.
The actuarial assumptions used in the February 28, 2021 valuation were based on the results of
an actuarial experience study for the period March 1, 2010 through February 28, 2015.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
model method in which the best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding
expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Weighted Average
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Alpha 15.00% 3.67%
Equity 35.00% 4.78%
Fixed Income 31.00% 1.41%
Real Assets 36.00% 3.29%
Strategic Assets 8.00% 5.25%
Cash/Leverage 25.00% -0.29%
7. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability is 7.25%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumes that the City’s contributions will be made at
the actuarially determined rates. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net
position was projected to be available to pay 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 payment to determine the total
pension liability.

NOTE H - POSTRETIREMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS
1. Description
The City follows the provisions of GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. In addition to the relevant
disclosures within this note related to GASB Statement No. 75, the financial statements reflect a
long-term liability and related expenses of $11,408,077 and $727,443, respectively, in the
governmental and business-type activities combined.
The City, through its substantive commitment to provide other post-employment benefits
(OPEB), maintains a single-employer defined benefit plan to provide certain postretirement
healthcare benefits to all eligible former full-time employees until the retiree is eligible for
Medicare (age 65). Such benefits are not available to members’ spouses or dependents - only to
eligible former employees as previously described. Specific details of the Plan include the
provision of certain medical and dental coverage. These benefits are provided through the City’s
self-insured programs. The City is under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide these
postretirement healthcare benefits. Because the Plan consists solely of the City’s firm
commitment to provide OPEB through the payment of premiums to its self-insured programs on
behalf of its eligible retirees, no stand-alone financial report is either available or generated.
2. Funding Policy
Premiums under the Plan for post-employment healthcare benefits are funded in accordance with
rates established by the City for its governmental and business-type funds. Effective July 1,
2010, employees hired on or after that date will not qualify for retiree healthcare coverage.
Effective April 1, 2012 employees who retire early (prior to age 55 for police and fire and prior
to age 60 for all other city employees) are not eligible for retiree healthcare coverage. For the
year ended June 30, 2020, the City paid the full premium cost for eligible retired employees who
were hired prior to January 1, 2007. For eligible employees hired on/after January 1, 2007, the
City paid a percentage of the full premium cost for retired employees with single coverage
according to years of service at retirement. For employees with 10 to 14 years of service at
retirement, the City’s subsidy was 50%. The subsidy for employees with 15 to 19 years of
service was 60%, 20 to 24 years was 70%, and employees with more than 24 years of service at
retirement received 100% subsidy. The retiree is responsible for the full cost of dependent
coverage. The plan is financed on a pay-as-you-go basis.

NOTE K – GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCES REPORTING
In order to improve the usefulness and understandability of governmental fund balance
information, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 54 in which it
classified fund balance into the following categories: Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed,
Assigned, and Unassigned. Definitions of each category and a reconciliation of how the City of
Cape Girardeau reported its Fund Balance follow.
Nonspendable Fund Balance – Includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a)
not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not
in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for
example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes long-term receivables that are not
currently available for expenditure. These financial statements reflect non-spendable fund
balances of $2,100.00 that are legally restricted to provide for the perpetual care and
maintenance of a mausoleum in the City’s cemetery. Only interest earnings on this amount can
be used for mausoleum maintenance. Prepaid expenses of $218,369 and long-term advance
receivables of $2,645,968 are also reflected as non-spendable fund balances.
Restricted Fund Balance – Includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because
of restrictions by external parties, constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation. These
financial statements include the following restricted fund balances. Fund balances totaling
$4,774,663 are restricted by the City Charter to use during officially declared emergencies.
Special revenue fund balances totaling $24,201,546 are restricted by their enabling legislation.
$13,170,536 in capital project fund balances are restricted as the result of special revenue
transfers and unspent bond proceeds. The remaining $189,826 in restricted fund balances result
from legal agreements with various outside parties.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE K – GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCES REPORTING - continued
Committed Fund Balance – These funds can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by formal action of the City’s highest level of decision -making authority
(the City Council). Those amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government
removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of formal action it employed to
previously commit those amounts. Typically, a resolution by the city council would be needed to
commit a portion of a fund balance for a specific purpose. The fund b alance of the Casino
Revenue Fund is committed for various uses identified in a policy approved by the City Council.
Assigned Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for
specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. For all governmental funds other
than the general fund, any remaining positive amounts not classified as nonspendable, restricted,
or committed. For the general fund, amounts can be assigned the intent to be used for a specific
purpose by the city council or a city official authorized by the city council; the amount reported
as assigned should not result in a deficit in unassigned fund balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance – For the general fund, amounts not classified as nonspendable,
restricted, committed, or assigned are included here. For all other governmental funds, it is the
amount expended in excess of resources that are nonspendable, restricted, committed, or
assigned. The general fund is the only fund that should have a positive amount in this
classification.
Order of Usage – Unless specifically identified, expenditures will reduce related restricted
balances first, and then related committed balances, next related assigned balances, and finally
unassigned balances. Expenditures for a specifically identified purpose will reduce the specific
classification of fund balance that is identified.

NOTE M - LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill when
closed and perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill site for thirty
years after closure. The City closed its landfill in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994, and an
expense provision and related liability were recognized at that time based on the future closure
and post closure care costs that were estimated to be incurred near or after the date the landfill no
longer accepted waste. The entire amount of the estimated total costs for landfill closure and
post closure care costs was recognized in prior years since the recognition is based on landfill
capacity used to date, and the landfill was filled to capacity in prior years. The estimated total
future liability for landfill post closure care costs is $9,900.00 as of June 30, 2021, which is
based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities, and services required to
close, monitor, and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2021. However, the actual
cost of closure and post closure care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or
changes in landfill laws and regulations.
The City has used the option of a Contract of Obligation as the financial assurance instrument for
the landfill. The City issued bonds in October 1994 from which the proceeds were used to pay
the closure costs.
NOTE N - 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; natural disasters; cyber-attacks; and employee health benefits.
These risks, with the exception of those discussed in the following paragraphs, are covered by
commercial insurance. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the
past fifteen fiscal years.
The City’s insurance coverage is as follows:
Commercial general liability, law enforcement liability, public officials errors and omissions,
and employment-related practices liability is carried by One Beacon/Intact Insurance Specialty
Solutions – Producer Sunstar Insurance Group, LLC DBA W. E. Walker Lakenan.

The City has established self-insurance plans for employees’ health insurance and workers’
compensation. Both of these are accounted for using internal service funds. Under each plan, the
City is substantially self-insured and uses an administrator to handle claims management.
The City provided health coverage to its employees through a self -insured plan administered by
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri. Anthem had an “A” rating by A.M. Best. Under the
plans, the City paid the administrator a monthly premium for claims administration, cost
management, and specific and aggregate stop loss coverage. The City reimbursed the
administrator for claims paid up to the specific stop loss amount of $150,000 per employee
during each calendar year included in the current fiscal year. The City also reimbursed the
administrator for total claims paid up to the annual aggregate stop loss amounts (125% of
estimated claims) of approximately $4,300,000 and $4,500,000 for years ending June 30, 2020
and June 30, 2021, respectively. Rates were charged by the internal service fund to the other
City funds to cover the monthly premium to the administrator and claims up to 76.0% of the
aggregate stop loss amount during the current fiscal year.
Thomas McGee Group administers the City’s workers’ compensation plan. Under this plan, the
City pays the administrator a per claim fee to administer its claims. All claims are paid directly
by the City. The City has purchased insurance coverage from Midwest Employers that limits the
City’s maximum individual claims liability to $750,000 for USL & H and $750,000 for other
regular employees and per occurrence claims liability to $1,000,000. Rates are charged by the
internal service fund to the other City funds based on rates and experience factors established by
the National Council on Compensation Insurance and City of Cape Girardeau actual claims
trends.

NOTE P - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
1. Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. In the opinion of City management,
the potential loss on all claims and lawsuits will not be significant to the City ’s financial
statements.
2. Grant Audit
The City receives Federal and State Grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and
audit by various Federal and State agencies. Such audits could result in a request for
reimbursement by any of the Federal and State agencies for expenditures disallowed under the
terms and conditions of the appropriate agency. In the opinion of City management, such
disallowances, if any, will not be significant.
3. Construction Commitments
As of June 30, 2021, the City had construction commitments outstanding of $7,426,342. The
construction commitments represent incomplete portions of contracts entered into to construct
various street projects, water plant #1 filter and secondary basin rehab, and design/build a new

received for the Airport Improvement Grant and the Safe Communities Grant for $21,079 and
$452, respectively. A receivable was reversed due to an insurance claim recorded on stolen parts
that was never actually filed for $1,361. This adjustment resulted in the net position of
governmental funds being decreased by $22,892. A prior year grant receivable was not recorded
for trucks purchased that were subsequently reimbursed partially by grant funds. This
adjustment resulted in the net position of the business activities being increased by $283,750.

NOTE R - TAX ABATEMENTS
The City has entered into real property tax abatement agreements with developers pursuant to
provisions of Chapter 353 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri. During the first 10 years of
abatement, 100% of the incremental increase in real property taxes on the land and 100% of the
real property taxes on all improvements are abated. During the next 15 years, between 50% and
100% of the incremental real property taxes on all land and all land improvements are abated.
During the current fiscal year $5,758 in real property taxes were abated related to provisions of
Chapter 353. The abatements related to a project to convert an abandoned retail building into an
office building for a national call center. These abatements will expire in 2032.
The City has established one Redevelopment Project Area in the Cape Downtown Tax Increment
Financing District (TIF) according to Missouri TIF laws. During the current year $131,856 in
real property taxes were abated related to provisions of these laws. Abatement of City real
property taxes accounted for $9,891 of this amount. Payments in lieu of taxes are made to the
City by owners of the abated properties based on the abated assessed values for all taxing entities
included in the TIF. These deposits are kept in a special allocation fund to be used to reimburse
developers for approved redevelopment projects within the TIF.
NOTE S - CONTINGENCY
1. In July 2007, the City entered into a development agreement with Greater Missouri
Builders, Inc. (GMB) to reimburse them for costs associated with the Town Plaza
Redevelopment Project. In conjunction with this agreement, the City established the
Town Plaza Community Improvement District (CID) and determined the project
area to be blighted pursuant to Chapter 353 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
This project involved the conversion of the former Sears facility into a call center for
National Asset Recover Services (NARS) and other various improvements, such as
facade improvements, parking facilities, roof reconstruction, and HVAC enhancements.
Total reimbursements to GMB for redevelopment costs were limited to $3.6 million plus
7.5% interest. These reimbursements will be made from incremental County and City
sales tax revenues, an additional CID sales tax, and real estate tax abatements.
Reimbursements from incremental County and City sales tax revenue will be limited to
$1.2 of the $3.6 million total.
Incremental County and City sales tax revenue was defined as the difference in future tax
revenues from the City’s 1% general sales tax and .5% capital improvement sales tax and
half the County’s .5% general sales tax and the revenues from these taxes from the
project area in calendar year 2006. The CID implemented a 1% sales tax. Improvements
to the redevelopment project will receive 100% real estate tax abatement for the first 10
years and 50% real estate tax abatement for the next 15 years. The current Sears facility

will receive 50% real estate tax abatement for 25 years. Based on 2006 assessed values
the abatement of City taxes on the unimproved Sears facility would be $628.
Beginning in year six of the agreement, 50% of the gross rentals from the NARS site will
be used to supplement the incremental sales tax revenues. Reimbursements from
incremental sales tax revenues expire with repayment of the amount to be paid by
incremental sales tax or 20 years, whichever comes first.
This project was completed at a cost of $3,203,308. Reimbursement from incremental
County and City sales tax revenue is limited to $1,164,839. The City and the County are
obligated to make quarterly payments as may lawfully be made from funds budgeted and
appropriated for that purpose by the City and County.

reimburse the local business for the $2,998,434 cost of these improvements plus 4%
interest with quarterly payments from available net sales tax revenue generated from any
businesses operations located in the development.
Available revenue is defined by the agreement as all the net sales tax revenue generated
by two .25% City capital improvement sales taxes and the .50% City transportation sales
tax and half of the net sales tax revenue generated by a .50% County sales tax. All City
sales taxes have expiration dates that could occur before the total costs of the
improvements are reimbursed to the developer. The County sales tax has no expiration
date. No provision is made to replace revenues from the City sales taxes that expire if
they are not extended. The development agreement remains in effect until the total cost of
the public improvements is reimbursed to the developer.
In October 2012, the City of Cape Girardeau and Cape Girardeau County entered into a n
amendment to the original development agreement. Under the agreement, the local
developer agreed to pay for additional public improvements incurred in conjunction with
the development of the 60 acre retail development, and the City and County agreed to
reimburse the local business for the $2,024,360 cost of these improvements from
available net sales tax revenue generated from an Academy Sports retail store. Academy
Sports began operation in May 2013.

BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City adopts annual operating budgets for all funds except Storm Water Projects from Park / Storm
Water Sales Tax Fund, Park Improvement Projects from Park / Storm Water Sales Tax Fund, and Park
Improvement Projects from Park/Storm Water Sales Tax Fund Phase 2 - which have project length
budgets - and the Cape Girardeau Municipal Development Foundation, and the Cape Girardeau Parks
Development Foundation, whose main purposes are to solicit and collect donations.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements.
1. The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal
year ending the following June 30th at the first meeting of June each year. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
4. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between programs within
any department; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any
department must be approved by the City Council. Departments may not legally exceed
their appropriations without approval from the City Council. Appropriations expire at the
end of the year; however, outstanding encumbrances at the end of the year are honored by
the City.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the

Notes to Schedule:
Valuation Date:February 28, 2021
Notes The roll-forward of total pension liability from February 28, 2021 to
June 30, 2021 reflects expected service cost and interest reduced by
actual benefit payments and administrative expenses.
Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Contribution Rates:
Actuarial Cost Method:Entry Age Normal and Modified Terminal Funding
Amortization Method:A level percentage of payroll amortization method is used to
amortize the UAAL over a closed period of years. If the UAAL
(excluding the UAAL associated with benefit changes) is negative,
then this amount is amortized of the greater of (i) the remaining
initial amortization period or (ii) 15 years.
Remaining Amortization Period:Multiple bases from 14 to 15 years
Asset Valuation Method:5-year smoothed market, 20% corridor
Inflation:2.75% wage inflation, 2.25% price inflation
Salary Increases:2.75% to 7.15%, including wage inflation
Investment Rate of Return:7.00%, net of investment expenses
Retirement Age:Experience-based table of rates that are specific to the type of
eligibility condition.
Mortality:The healthy retiree mortality tables, for post-retirement mortality,
used in evaluating allowances to be paid were 115% of the PubG-
2010 Retiree Mortality Table for males and females. The disabled
retiree mortality tables, for post-retirement mortality, used in
evaluating allowances to be paid were 115% of the PubNS-2010
Disabled Retiree Mortality Table for males and females. The pre-
retirement mortality tables used were 75% of the PubG-2010
Employee Mortality Table for males and females of General groups
and 75% of the PubS-2010 Employee Mortality Table for males and
females of Police, Fire and Public Safety groups.
Mortality rates for a particular calendar year are determined by
applying the MP-2020 mortality improvement scale to the above
described tables.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH
MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on each of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s major federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2021. The City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 of Cape Girardeau,
Missouri’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
of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 of
the major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City
of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s compliance.
82
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri complied, in all material respects, with the
types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on
each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri 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 of
Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s internal control over
compliance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
preceding 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 and
therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
However, as discussed below, we did identify a certain deficiency in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be a significant deficiency
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. We consider the
deficiency in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying Schedule of
Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2021-002 to be a significant deficiency.
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s response to the internal control over compliance finding
identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned
Costs. City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
83
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.

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 Members of the City Council
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
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, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri as of and for the year ended June 30,
2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of
Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
February 7, 2022.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Cape
Girardeau, Missouri’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 of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 City’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. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
85
not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri’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 an instance of noncompliance
or other matters that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and which
is described in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2021-001.
City of Cape Girardeau’s Response to the Finding
City of Cape Girardeau’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the
accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. City of Cape Girardeau’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 City’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
