Dr. William W. Burns, City Manager
Mayor Nancy Jorgenson and Council Members
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Dr. Burns, Mayor Jorgenson and Council Members:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998, is submitted herewith:
The organization, form, and contents of this report were prepared in accordance with the standards
prescribed by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and
— the Minnesota State Auditor's Office. The Government Finance Officers Association awards Certificates
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to those governments whose annual financial
reports are judged to conform substantially with high standards of public financial reporting including
generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board. The City of Fridley was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting for its annual financial report for the fiscal year 1997. It is our belief that the accompanying
fiscal year 1998 financial report continues to meet program standards and it will be submitted to the
Government Finance Officers Association for review.
This report was prepared by the City's finance staff and consists of three sections:
Section I is the introductory section and contains the table of contents, letter of transmittal, and
other appropriate material.
Section II is the financial section and contains the auditors' opinion, the combined financial
statements, notes to the financial statements, combining statements, individual fund statements,
and account group statements.
Section III is the statistical section that includes the previous year's financial and non-financial data.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe that the data, as presented, is
accurate in all material aspects, that it is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial
position and results of operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds,
and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's
financial activity have been included.
9
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
The City's financial statements include all funds and account groups. Services provided by the City
include police and fire protection; water and sanitary sewer utilities; the construction and maintenance of
streets and infrastructure; recreational activities and cultural events. In addition to general government
activities, the activities of the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) have been included
since they serve the entire City and the City Council has the ability to control the actions of the HRA.
However, the Fridley School Districts and the Fridley Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association have not
met the established criteria for inclusion in the reporting entity, and accordingly are excluded from this
report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND AND LOCATION
The City of Fridley is an older metropolitan community with an estimated 1998 population of 28,335.
The City is located just north of downtown Minneapolis and covers 11 square miles of area. The City
was incorporated July 1, 1949 and is currently committed to redevelopment. With the help of the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the City has been successful in attracting new industries as well
as completing redevelopment projects.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The Minneapolis-St. Paul area economy has continued to be relatively stable over the last several years.
Unemployment for Anoka County has ranged around 3% for the last several years with very little
change. Fridley is home to the largest amount of employees in Anoka County. Approximately 22,000
employees work in over 800 businesses across Fridley.
Long term growth in Fridley's economy will result from redevelopment projects and new construction.
The City has averaged $33 million in building permit valuation over the last three years. The future
economy of Fridley will be further bolstered by the construction of Medtronic Inc.'s world headquarters.
Beginning in 1999, Medtronic plans to build at least 1,000,000 square feet of corporate office space,
research and associated facilities. The estimated market value of the project will be well over $100
million. About 3,000 new employees are anticipated to work out of the new campus. The existing
Medtronic campus will become the company's Cardiac Division headquarters. It is extremely unusual
for a community of Fridley's size to have two corporate campuses within its borders.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
•- During 1998, the City continued its focus on the quality of the housing stock within the City and enjoyed
a great deal of success with the 5% home remodeling program. During the year, 61 loans were closed,
totaling $803,800. In addition, 2 remodeling loans totaling $57,500 were provided to rental owners to
improve apartment buildings. These programs help residents improve and maintain their properties.
They also encourage residents to stay in Fridley by being able to improve their existing home instead of
losing a resident to the outlying communities.
,. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority maintains a revolving loan fund for home remodeling loans.
It is projected that the loan pool will "pay for itself" in fifteen years.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority has also sponsored four successful remodeling fairs and
hired a part time "Remodeling Advisor" to assist homeowners with their remodeling ideas. In 1998, the
Authority, with the help of the remodeling advisor, published a Remodeling Plan Book to encourage
homeowners to remodel.
11
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
An extensive amount of remodeling activity took place in Fridley in 1998, primarily as a result of a major
storm. Over 2,800 permits were issued for new windows, roofs, or new siding. This is four times the
typical number of permits. The valuation for residential permit activity was also the highest in 10 years,
totaling $11.7 million. This means a significant part of the city's housing stock was dramatically
improved.
The redevelopment of the Southwest Quadrant, an area bounded by University Avenue and Mississippi
Street, began in 1995 with the HRA acquiring four apartment buildings and a number of businesses.
Rotund Homes was selected as the developer and has completed the construction of the 118 owner
occupied units.
Since the City's warehouse liquor store was one of the businesses required to relocate as the Southwest
Quadrant project moved forward, the City continued to search for potential sites for a new liquor store
while the relocated store maintained its presence in the Holly Shopping Center. In 1999, the City is
expected to enter into a lease agreement with Lyndale Terminal Co. to lease 13,000 square feet
adjacent to Cub Foods on 57th Avenue and 1-694.
Commercial and industrial activity continued to flourish, although not as high as the two previous years.
Bachman's Inc. opened a new 38,000 square foot facility in 1998. Spikers Grill and Beach Club also
opened its door in 1998 featuring six indoor volleyball courts and a new restaurant. Walgreen's opened —
a new 13,000 square foot facility at the northeast corner of University Avenue and Mississippi Street.
Plunkett's Pest Control built a new 18,150 square foot industrial building on 52nd Way.
Internally, the 1999 budget work sessions were relatively free from major budgetary issues. The gap
between revenues and expenditures widened in the 1999 budget from the 1998 budget. Much of the
discussion at the work sessions focused on the future of the City's recycling center. The budget
sessions ended with no increase in property taxes and the planned use of $886,782 of reserves
resulting in a balanced 1999 budget that Council adopted in December.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The future of the City of Fridley, like all units of government is filled with change and restructuring. The
federal deficit and shortfalls in state revenue have and will continue to have a trickle down effect to lower
levels. Cities are faced with the problems of financing their own traditional levels of service while
simultaneously coping with cuts in intergovernmental revenues and the implementation of both federal
and state mandates. The City applauds the efforts of the Minnesota State Legislature in their attempt to
curtail unfunded state mandates. The City will continue to investigate new funding and cost sharing
alternatives as well as reviewing our operations in order to decrease the reliance on intergovernmental
revenues.
Implementation of an imaging system continued during 1998. This project will increase the availability of
data and the efficiency in which City staff can access it and respond to resident's requests.
The most significant project in the City's history was approved in early 1999. Medtronic, Inc. will build its
world headquarters at the Fridley Executive Center site at the northwest corner of T.H. 65 and 1-694.
First phase construction began in June 1999 on 460,000 square feet of development. Ultimately, the
site may be developed up to 1.6 million square feet, and at minimum, 1 million square feet of corporate
office space is planned.
12
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
The first phase (estimated value at $46 million) will consist of five buildings. The centerpiece of the
development will be the corporate headquarters office, which will be flanked by two additional buildings,
the Research Center and the Education Center. The fourth building will be the headquarters for the
Neurological Division of the company. Finally, the fifth building will house the support functions of the
development including the employee cafeteria, resource center, auditorium and fitness center.
Multi-level parking ramps are necessary to provide adequate parking for the campus. The ramps for the
first phase will be six levels (two below grade) and will contain about 1,000 parking spaces.
Medtronic anticipates that the project when fully developed will create 3,000 new jobs.
Significant projects budgeted for 1999 in the five year capital improvement plan include: The purchasing
of a new Class A Pumper Truck for the Fire Department; upgrading playground equipment by replacing
the old equipment with new safer and accessible equipment; a major street reconstruction project in the
Riverview Heights neighborhood; and the annual well, reservoir and pump house maintenance
programs.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
INTERNAL CONTROLS
In developing and improving the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or
disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires
estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of the proper
recording of financial transactions.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
A complete budgetary system of accounts is maintained for the General and Special Revenue Funds.
Budgetary control is maintained in compliance with the City Charter Requirements. The Charter
provides that it is the duty of the City Manager to strictly enforce the provisions of the budget. The
management policy of the City is such that the existence of a particular item or appropriation in the
approved budget does not mean that it will or must be automatically expended. It is the policy of the
'- City to control budgets at the expenditure category level. Budget adjustments between City divisions
are made upon the approval of a resolution by the City Council. The City Charter provides that the City
Council shall not have power to increase the total amount of the budget, whether by insertion of new
items or otherwise, beyond the estimated revenue unless the actual revenue exceeds such revenue
estimates, and in that event not beyond such actual revenue. There is a constant review process.
Expenditures are not approved until it has been determined that 1) the expenditure is necessary, 2)
adequate funds have been appropriated, and 3) funds are available.
•

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
CASH MANAGEMENT
All temporary cash surpluses during the year are invested in various securities which State statutes
permit. The City's policy is to invest all available monies at competitive interest rates in accordance with
the City's over-all fiscal plan coordinated with operating needs and programs projected over the ensuing
12 month period. Investment yields on investments held during the year ranged from 4.2% to 6.9%.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Net general bonded debt per capita and the percentage of the net general bonded debt to taxable value
are useful indicators of the City's debt position. At December 31, 1998 the City of Fridley's debt service
funds provided sufficient capital to cover the net general bonded debt.
The City has numerous debt issues outstanding totaling $20,675,000. Of this outstanding debt,
$1,290,000 represents special assessment debt with government commitment, $13,760,000 represents
general obligation tax increment refunding bonds, $5,625,000 represents general obligation water,
sewer and storm water revenue bonds.
The City of Fridley has, since 1982, maintained a credit rating of Aa1 on its long-term bonds.
FISCAL DISPARITIES
The commonly referred to "Fiscal Disparity Law" was adopted by the Legislature in 1971. The area of
the fiscal disparity district encompasses all the properties located within the seven-county metropolitan
area. The law provides that 40% of all new commercial/industrial property valuations or growth be
placed in an area wide"pool,"and shared according to specific criteria.
TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City Council took action on May 7, 1979 to form the first of twelve tax increment districts. In 1985,
the individual districts were combined into one redevelopment district to more easily manage the overall
activities. All of the districts have been established in economically depressed areas within the City.
With the successful relationship that the City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority have
developed, many benefits have been derived.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS
The following schedule presents a summary of the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Projects and Expendable Trust Funds' revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
The most significant changes in revenues from the prior year were increases in taxes,
intergovernmental, and charges for services. Taxes increased by$242,757 mainly due to an increase in
the levy. Intergovernmental revenue increased by $193,618 mainly due to an increase in Municipal
State Aid for Street Projects. The charges for services increase shown was due primarily to antennae
rental charges.

The following schedule presents a summary of the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Projects and Expendable Trust Funds' expenditures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
15
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
The most significant change in expenditures is in the public safety, community development and debt
service categories. The increase in public works is due to an increase in street construction projects.
The increase in community development is primarily due to the contracting of outside help to handle the
increase in building inspections as a result of a spring hailstorm. The decrease in debt service is due to
1997 being unusually high due to the refunding of a bond issue.
Percent of Increase/
Expenditures Amount Total (Decrease)

Capital outlay 3,407,317 17.18% (116,895)
Total $19,815,365 100.00% ($5,168,745)
General Fund Balance
The fund balance is used to provide working capital for the fund until tax settlements and state aids are
received in July and December of each year, to provide funds for unknown events which could have an
adverse effect on the fund, and to help finance future budgets. In 1990 the City Council adopted a
formal policy designating portions of the general fund's fund balance for working capital, subsequent
year's expenditures, contingencies and for replacement of fixed assets at the end of each fiscal year. I.
ENTERPRISE OPERATIONS
The Enterprise Funds account for the financing of services to the general public in which all or most of
the costs involved are paid in the form of charges by the users of such services. In the City of Fridley,
Enterprise Funds are used to account for the operation of the public utility system and two municipal
liquor stores. Except for ownership, Enterprise Funds bear a close resemblance to privately owned --
utility or service enterprises.
Liquor Fund .•.
The Liquor Fund was established to account for the operation and financing of the City-owned municipal
liquor stores. The City operates two liquor stores, one at 6289 Highway 65, and the other in the Holly
Shopping Center. The City owns the store at the Highway 65 location and currently leases space for the —
other store. In 1984, the City changed its sales philosophy to the wholesale approach so that we could
remain competitive with the three neighboring communities that use wholesale pricing. Retained
earnings of the Liquor Fund were $1,919,315 on December 31, 1998 as compared to $1,792,335 at the
closing of the prior fiscal year. Income before operating transfers increased from $254,320 in 1997 to
$266,980 in 1998. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales from 1997 to 1998.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Public Utility Fund
This fund accounts for the operation and financing of the City-owned sewer and water systems.
Included in the assets of the fund is a receivable from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Service
Division of $25,915 representing the City's share of the equity in the Minneapolis Sewer System that
was acquired by the Metropolitan Council in January 1, 1971.
The assets for the Water and Sewer Distribution system, originally financed by special assessments,
were transferred from General Fixed Assets to the Public Utility Fund in 1978. Additional Fixed Assets
were transferred in 1979, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Those improvements to
the utility system paid for or financed directly by the Public Utility Fund have always been carried in the
Public Utility Fund and depreciated. Retained earnings on December 31, 1998 were $13,954,194
compared to$12,299,536 at the close of the prior fiscal year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Self Insurance Fund was set up to account for all revenues and expenditures associated with the
$50,000 deductible on the general liability policy. Self insuring a larger deductible has reduced the
annual premiums which allow us to directly benefit from our good experience rating. In the future an
analysis will be made of the feasibility of self insuring all or a portion of other policies. In 1990,
$1,000,000 was transferred from the General Fund to the Self Insurance Fund.

AUDITOR'S OPINION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fridley, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of
Fridley, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 as listed in the table of
contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of
Fridley, Minnesota's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards 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 general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, as of December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 22 to the general purpose financial statements, during 1998 the City of
Fridley, Minnesota changed its method of accounting for investments to conform with
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)No. 31,Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools.
The year 2000 supplementary information on pages 75 and 76 is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and do not express an
opinion on it. In addition, we do not provide assurance that the City of Fridley, Minnesota is or

will become year 2000 compliant, that the City of Fridley, Minnesota's year 2000 remediation
efforts will be successful in whole or in part, or that parties with which the City of Fridley,
Minnesota does business are or will become year 2000 compliant.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated June
11, 1999 on our consideration of the City of Fridley, Minnesota's internal control over
financial reporting and on its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose
financial statements taken as a whole. The combining, individual fund and account group
financial statements, supporting schedules and statistical information as listed in the table of
contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley, Minnesota. Such information,
except for that portion marked "unaudited," on which we express no opinion, has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the
general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Fridley was incorporated July 1, 1949, under Chapter 410.03 of the Statutes of the State of
Minnesota providing for a council-manager form of government under the "Home Rule Charter City"
concept. The City provides the following services as authorized by its charter: general administrative
services, public safety (police and fire), public improvements, planning and zoning, and culture and
recreation.
The accounting policies of the City of Fridley conform to generally accepted accounting policies applicable
to governmental units. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
A. Principles used in the determination of the scope of the Governmental entity
The City has implemented Government Accounting Standards Boards Statement 14, The
Financial Reporting Entity. As required by Statement 14, these financial statements present the
City and its component units. The component unit discussed below is included in the reporting
entity because of the significance of their operation and financial relationship with the City.
Discretely Presented Component Unit - The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) is governed by commissioners appointed by the Fridley City Council. The
HRA is responsible for providing housing and redevelopment assistance to the City and its
residents. Funding for the various programs administered by the HRA is provided through the
issuance of tax increment revenue bonds and general obligation tax increment bonds
guaranteed by the City. Complete financial statements of the HRA may be obtained from
William W. Burns, Executive Director, 6431 University Avenue NE, Fridley, Minnesota 55432.
The following governmental entities are not included in these financial statements since they do
not meet the criteria contained in Statement 14:
Independent School District #11/Independent School District #13/Independent School
District#14/Independent School District#16 - These four school districts either reside wholly
within the City of Fridley or overlap within the City boundaries. According to Minnesota State
Statutes, Minnesota school districts are totally independent of all other governing jurisdictions.
The City has no authority to appoint board members and has no fiscal responsibility. School
districts are able to levy taxes and issue debt in their own name.
Fridley Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association - This association is organized as a
nonprofit organization by its members to provide pension and other benefits to such members in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The board of directors is elected by the membership of
the Association. All funding is conducted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, whereby state
aids flow to the association, tax levies are determined by the association and is only reviewed by
the City. The association pays benefits directly to its members. The association may certify tax
levies to the County directly if the City does not carry out this function. Because the association
is able to fund its program independently of the City, it is excluded from these financial
statements. (See Note 9 for disclosures relating to the pension plan operated by this
organization.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
B. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with
a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated
to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent
and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped, in
the financial statements in this report, into seven generic fund types and three broad categories
as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Governmental funds include the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds and
capital projects funds. The governmental fund measurement focus is based upon the
determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses and
balances of financial resources rather than upon net income determination). These funds are
maintained on the modified accrual basis of accounting (explained further under Significant
Accounting Policies).
General Fund - The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to
account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of
certain specific revenue sources that are restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of
resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used for the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities other than those financed by proprietary funds.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Proprietary funds include enterprise funds and internal service funds. The proprietary fund
measurement focus is based upon the determination of net income, financial position and
changes in financial position. The generally accepted accounting principles here are those
applicable to similar businesses in the private sector and thus these funds are maintained on
the accrual basis of accounting. "^
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent is that the costs ^
(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a
continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through use charges.
Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods
or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
44
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1998
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds include expendable trust and agency funds. The measurement focus of the
expendable trust funds is the same as governmental funds and is, therefore, maintained on the
modified accrual basis of accounting.
Trust Fund -The Trust Fund is used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity
for individuals, private organizations, other governments, and/or all other funds. The City's
Trust Fund is classified as an Expendable Trust Fund and is accounted for in essentially the
same manner as governmental funds.
Agency Funds - Agency Funds are clearing type funds for the collection of taxes or deposits
held in trust, on behalf of individuals, private organizations and other governments. The funds
are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of
operation.
C. Measurement Focus
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement
focus. All governmental funds and expendable trust funds are accounted for on a spending or
"current financial resources" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and
current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheets. (Their reported fund balance is
considered a measure of "available spendable resources.") Governmental fund operating
statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of"available spendable resources"during a period.
■• Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations (general fixed assets) are recorded at
historical costs and accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Public domain
("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, are
capitalized along with other general fixed assets. No depreciation has been provided on general
"' fixed assets.
Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the
General Long-Term Debt Account Group, not in the governmental funds.
These two account groups are not "funds." They are concerned only with the measurement of
financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of operations.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their
balance sheets, in spite of their measurement focus. However, special reporting treatments are
used to indicate in all governmental funds that they should not be considered "available
spendable resources," since they do not represent net current assets. Recognition of revenues
in these funds represented by noncurrent receivables is deferred until they become current
receivables.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund
types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net
current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type
expenditures or fund liabilities. They are instead reported as liabilities in the General Long-
Term Debt Account Group.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Proprietary funds are accounted for on a cost of services or "capital maintenance"
measurement focus. This means that all assets, including fixed assets, and all liabilities,
including long-term liabilities, associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets.
Their reported fund equity is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in net total assets.
D. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in
the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Governmental Funds and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual —.
basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual,
i.e., both measurable and available. Substantially all revenues are accrued.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the
related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt which
is recognized when due.
Agency Fund assets and liabilities are accounted for on the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. The
City has implemented Statement No. 20 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB), Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental
Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting. This statement provides guidance on business-
type accounting and financial reporting for proprietary activities. Proprietary activities should
apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as the following pronouncements issued on
or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB ^
pronouncements: Statements of Interpretations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB), Accounting Principles Board Opinion, and Accounting Research Bulletins of the
Committee on Accounting Procedures. In addition, a proprietary activity may elect to apply all
FASB Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989, except for those that
conflict with GASB pronouncements. The City has elected not to apply FASB Statements and
Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989.
E. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City Charter grants the City Council full authority over the financial affairs of the City. The
City Manager is charged with the responsibility of preparing the estimates of the annual budget
and the enforcement of the provisions of the budget as specified in the City Charter. Upon
adoption of the annual budget resolution by the Council, it becomes the formal appropriation
budget for City operations. All budget adjustments must be approved by the Council.
46
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
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 commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes expenditures and
the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution.
4. The City Council may authorize transfer of budgeted amounts between departments within
any fund.
a
5. Reported budget amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by Council approved
transfers. The City Charter limits appropriations to the total estimated revenues and fund
balances. If actual revenues exceed the original estimates, appropriations may be
increased by the Council up to the amount of revenue increases. There were no
supplemental appropriations required or made during the year.
6. All budget amounts lapse at the end of the year to the extent they have not been expended
or encumbered. Encumbrances are reappropriated into the following year's budget.
7. Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and
Capital Improvement Capital Projects Funds. Formal budgeting integration is employed as
a management control device during the year for each of these funds. Formal budgetary
integration is not employed for Debt Service Funds because effective budgetary control is
achieved through the bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for other Capital
Projects Funds is accomplished through the use of project controls. (See Note 16 for
further information on budgeted and unbudgeted capital projects funds.)
8. Budgets for the General, Special Revenue and Capital Improvement Capital Projects Funds
are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
9. As required by the City Charter, budgetary control is maintained within department at the
level of three major categories of expenditures: salaries and wages; ordinary expenses;
and capital outlay. This is the level of control at which expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations.
10. The General Fund budget includes prior year encumbrances which were reappropriated to
the current year. Expenditures for the items encumbered are included in the current year's
expenditures.

F. Assets, Liabilities and Fund Equity
1) Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Investments
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in
certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities and other securities authorized by State
Statute. Investment income is allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable
cash balance participation by each fund. With exception of the Deferred Compensation
Agency Fund which states investments in a deferred compensation plan at market, all
investments are stated at cost which approximates market. Investments with original
maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by
means of an advance from the internal service and enterprise funds. This is classified as
an interfund payable in the fund receiving the advance and as an offsetting interfund
receivable in the internal service and enterprise funds.
In accordance with authorized investment laws, the City invests in various mortgage-backed
securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities are reported at
cost in the balance sheet. They are reported in aggregate as U.S. Government Agencies in
the disclosure of custodial credit risk. (See Note 2 on Investments).
2) Receivables
Property Taxes
The property tax levy was set by the City Council in November and was certified to the
County for collection the following year. In Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for
all property taxes.
The County spreads the levies over all taxable property in the City. Such taxes become
receivables of the City as of January 1.
Property taxes are payable in equal installments by property owners to the County as
follows: -
Personal property- February 28 and June 30
Real property- May 15 and October 15
The County remits the collections to the City and other taxing districts four times a year, in
January, April, July and December. During 1998 taxes were adjusted downward$78,310 by
Anoka County due to abatements and court ordered settlements.
Unpaid taxes at December 31 become liens on the respective property and are classified in
the financial statements as delinquent taxes receivable. The receivable is fully offset by
deferred revenue as it is not available to finance current expenditures.
Taxes payable on homestead property (as defined by State Statutes) are partially reduced
by Homestead and Agriculture Credit Aid. This aid is paid to the City by the State in lieu of
taxes levied against homestead property. The State remits this aid in two equal
installments in July and December each year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Special Assessments Receivable
... Special assessments are levied against the benefited properties for the assessable costs of
special assessment improvement projects in accordance with State Statutes. The City
usually adopts the assessment rolls when the individual projects are complete or
substantially complete. The assessments are collectible over a term of years generally
Oft consistent with the term of years of the related bond issue.
Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County in the same
manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to prepay total future installments
without interest or prepayment penalties.
Special assessments receivable includes the following components:
..
Unremitted - amounts collected by Anoka County and not remitted to the City prior to
year end.
Delinquent-amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
Deferred - assessment installments which will be billed to property owners in future
.. years.
3) Inventories
Inventory in the General Fund consists of expendable supplies held for consumption and is
recorded at cost on a first in first out basis. The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the
time individual inventory items are used. Reported inventories are equally offset by a fund
balance reserve which indicates that they do not constitute "available spendable resources"
even though they are a component of net current assets.
Proprietary Funds inventory items are expensed at the time they are sold or used.
(Consumption method). Liquor inventories are recorded on the average cost basis.
4) Property and Equipment/General Fixed Assets
All fixed assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost, if the original cost
was not available. Donated fixed assets are carried at the fair market value on the date
donated.
Additions to general fixed assets for general City purposes, including public domain
(infrastructure) fixed assets are recorded as expenditures of the applicable fund in the year
... in which the fixed asset was purchased or constructed, and are capitalized in the General
Fixed Asset Account Group. Depreciation is not recorded on these assets.
,.
49
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Property and equipment of the proprietary funds are capitalized in these funds.
Depreciation of exhaustible property and equipment of the proprietary funds is charged as
an expense against their operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on
proprietary fund balance sheets. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful
lives using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Improvements Other Than Building 20 - 50 years
Buildings 20-50 years
Machinery and Equipment 5- 10 years
Land N/A
5) Compensated Absences
All liabilities for compensated absences, both current and long-term, for annual leave,
severance and separation pay are accounted for in the Employee Benefit Fund, an internal
service fund. Each year compensated absence expenditures and expenses are recorded in
the governmental and proprietary funds respectively, equivalent to the full amount accrued
by fund employees during the year. These charges are offset by a corresponding transfer
of assets from the home department funds to the Employee Benefit Fund to fund the
liability. This liability represents the maximum possible dilution of Employee Benefit Fund
assets by retirements or extended leaves by employees. The personnel ordinance limits
the annual accumulation of benefits that can be accumulated from year to year.
6) Encumbrances
Encumbrances represent purchase commitments. Encumbrances outstanding at year end
are reported as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or
liabilities.
G. Revenues, Expenditures and Expenses
The following transactions are accounted for as described below:
General Property Taxes/Special Assessments - Revenue is recognized in the year of
collection, with amounts due from the County and received early in the following year set up as ,1
receivable (unremitted receivables). Uncollected (delinquent) taxes and special assessments
receivable are fully offset by deferred revenue until they become available to finance current
expenditures. General property taxes and special assessments are recognized when cash is
received to prevent overstating due to delinquencies.
Principal Portion of Special Assessments - Revenue is recognized in the year the
assessments are collected.
Interest Revenue on Special Assessments Receivable - Interest revenue is recognized in the
year of collection of the current principal installment.
50
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Intergovernmental Revenues - Intergovernmental revenues in the form of state aids are
recorded as revenue when allocations are made by statutory formula. Other intergovernmental
revenues received as reimbursements for specific purposes or projects are recognized based
upon the expenditures incurred. Intergovernmental revenues received through abatements or
shares are recorded in the year determined to be measurable and available.
Investment Income- Interest is recorded as revenue in the year earned.
Water and Sewer Service Charges - Revenue is recognized when earned with no allowance for
uncollectibles as delinquent accounts are certified as a special assessment lien against the
property billed. Unbilled service charges are included in receivables at year end.
Other Revenues - Licenses, fines, penalties and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as
revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually
received.
Interest Expense on Bonded Indebtedness - Interest expense is recorded as an expenditure
when paid in the governmental fund types and accrued when incurred in the proprietary fund
types.
.. Bond and Interest Payments Due January 1 - Expenditures are recognized when amounts are
remitted to the paying agent (usually in December) for payment of bonds and interest.
H. Comparative Data
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying combined
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the City's financial
position and operations. However, comparative (i.e., presentation of prior year totals by fund type)
data have not been presented in all statements since their inclusion would make the statements
unduly complex and difficult to read.
Total columns on the combined statements are captioned "Memorandum Only' to indicate that
they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks
authorized by the City Council. All such depositories are members of the Federal Reserve
System.
Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral.
If collateral is pledged as protection for the deposits, State Statutes require that it be held by a
third party in the City's name. The market value of the collateral must at a minimum be 110% of
the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds (140% in the case of mortgage backed collateral).
Repurchase agreements are intentionally overcollateralized at 105% to insure that the safety of
investment principal is attained and losses do not occur from rapid overnight deterioration. Due to
wire transfers and tax settlements credited by the bank at the end of the day, there were several
occasions during the year where overnight deposits were undercollateralized. On each occasion,
the uncollateralized balance was invested with another financial institution on the following day.
Balances at December 31, 1998 are as follows:
Bank Carrying —.
Balances Amount
City $532,811 $594,454

Minnesota securities broker dealers.
(g) Future contracts sold under authority of Minnesota Statutes 471.56, subd. 5.
The City invests in collateralized mortgage obligations (a form of mortgage backed security). These
securities allow cash flows to be split so that different classes of securities with different maturities and
••••• coupons may be created. The City by policy is only allowed to invest in these types of securities if they are
classified as a Planned Amortization Class 1 (PAC 1) with a stated maturity of 3 years or less.
The City's investments are categorized below to give an indication of the level of risk assumed at year
— end. The level of risk is defined by the following criteria set out by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board within Statement No. 3. Category 1 includes investments that are insured or registered
for which the securities are held by the City or its agent in the City's name. Category 2 includes uninsured
and unregistered investments for which the securities are held by the counterparty's trust department or
agent in the City's name. Category 3 includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the
securities are held by the counterparty, or by its trust department or agent but not in the City's name.

between the present vale f the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of$90,281.
The City is respon i for the debt service of the 1991 refunded bonds through the crossover date
(February 1, 2001 nd the debt service of the 1998 refunding bonds after the crossover date. The
debt service of the 1998 refunding bonds before the crossover date is payable from the escrow
account. Assets held with the escrow agent total $1,140,520 at December 31, 1998.
The financial statements present both bond issues and the escrow account assets pursuant to SFAS
No. 76. The effect on the financial statements is to report greater debt than, in substance, the City will
be responsible for paying.

"� C. Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) - Defined Contribution
Plan Description
Three council members of the City of Fridley are covered by defined contribution pension
plan administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA).
PERA administers the Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP) which is a
multiple-employer deferred compensation plan.
Benefit Provisions and Contribution Rates
The PEDCP is a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and
all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal.
•
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings,
less administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies the
employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to
participate. An eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5 percent of
salary which is matched by the elected official's employer. For ambulance service
personnel, employer contributions are determined by the employer, and for salaried
employees must be a fixed percentage of salary. Employer contributions for volunteer
personnel may be a unit value for each call or period of alert duty. Employees who are paid
for their services may elect to make member contributions in an amount not to exceed the
employer share. Employer and employee contributions are combined and used to purchase
shares in one or more of the six accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund.
For administering the plan, PERA receives 2 percent of employer contributions and one-
tenth of one percent of the assets in each member's account.

10. Defined Benefit Pension Plan - Police Consolidation Fund
A. Plan Description
The City of Fridley Police Relief Association was consolidated into the Police and Fire
Consolidation Fund (PFCF) of the Statewide Public Employee's Retirement Association
(PERA). Essentially, this means that administration of Associations' affairs will henceforth be
handled by PERA, with the Associations' Board of Directors being abolished. It also means that
nonretired members of the Associations have the choice of receiving benefits under the
Associations by-laws, or the PERA Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) benefits schedule. The
PFCF is an agent, multiple-employer defined benefit plan.
This plan provides retirement and disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon
death of eligible members. All benefit provisions and the obligation to make contributions are
established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for PFCF. That report may be obtained by writing to PERA, 514 St.
Peter Street#200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 or by calling (651)296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026.

17. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During 1987, the City established the
Self Insurance Fund (an Internal Service Fund) to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss.
The Self Insurance Fund provides coverage for up to a maximum of $50,000 for each liability and property
claim with an annual aggregate of $100,000 for all claims. The City purchases insurance through the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust for claims in excess of coverage provided by the fund and for
all other risks of loss.
The City's workers compensation insurance policy is retrospectively rated. With this type of policy, final
premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is
not reasonably estimable and is not recorded until received or paid.
In 1990, the General Fund contributed $1,000,000 to the Self Insurance Fund in lieu of the Self Insurance
Fund charging losses back to each fund.
There is no recorded liability for unpaid claims because the amount of such claims, if any, are considered
to be immaterial.
As of December 31, 1998, the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of $1,822,591
to cover future claims and losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

18. Commitments and Contingencies
A. Litigation
The City attorney has indicated that existing and pending lawsuits, claims and other actions in
which the City is a defendant are either covered by insurance; of an immaterial amount; or, in
the judgment of the City attorney, remotely recoverable by plaintiffs.
The HRA is involved in ongoing litigation regarding the condemnation of certain property
acquired in 1995. In 1996, the Anoka County Condemnation Commissioners changed the
acquisition value on the property to $1.5 million, an increase of approximately $300,000 from
the $1.2 million the HRA paid in 1995 to acquire the condemned property. The HRA is
appealing the award and their attorney has indicated that the final award will more than likely be
close to the$1.5 million.
B. Federal and State Funds
The City receives financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form
of grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires
compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to
audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a
liability of the applicable fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed
claims will not have a material effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund
types included herein or on the overall financial position of the City at December 31, 1998.
C. Tax Increment Districts
The City's tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a
liability of the applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any
instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements.
19. Leases
Operating Lease
The City leased property at the Holly Shopping Center for a warehouse liquor store. The City renewed the
lease on March 1, 1998 for the period ending February 28, 1999.
Total rental expense for 1998 was $50,050.

Special Revenue Funds:
Solid waste abatement ($24,685)
Chemical assessment team (18,954)
Capital Projects Funds:
Special assessments (1,434,668) —
These deficit balances will be funded by a combination of future General Obligation Improvement Bonds
and transfers from other funds.
21. Conduit Debt Obligation
From time to time, the City has issued Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to private-
sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in
the public interest. The bonds are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from
payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the
acquired facilities transfers to the private-sector entity served by the bond issuance. Neither the City, the
State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds.
Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
As of December 31, 1998, there were twenty-four series of Industrial Revenue Bonds issued. The
aggregate principal amount payable for the two series issued after July 1, 1995 was $6,545,000. The
aggregate principal amount payable for the twenty-two series issued prior to July 1, 1995, could not be
determined; however, their original issue amounts totaled $65.2 million.
22. Change in Accounting Principle
The City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 31,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and External Investment Pools, during
1998. GASB Statement 31 requires that investments be reported at fair value on the balance sheet
with changes in the fair value of investments reported on the operating statement. The effect of
implementing GASB 31 during 1998 was to decrease investment income by approximately$1,f2,0QQ.
The effect of implementing GASB 31 was immaterial at December 31, 1997 and accordingly 1997
financial statements have not been restated.

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
December 31, 1998
YEAR 2000 INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The City is currently addressing year 2000 issues relating to its computer systems and other
electronic equipment. The year 2000 issue refers to the fact that many computer programs use only
the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, both 1900 and 2000 would be referred to as "00."
Computer programs have to be adjusted to recognize the difference between those two years or the
programs will fail or create errors. Also, some programs may not be able to recognize that 2000 is a
leap year. Further, the year 2000 issue could affect electronic equipment—such as vehicles, pump
stations and phone systems—containing computer chips that have date recognition features.
In 1998, the City created a Project Team to help address the year 2000 issue. The Project Team has
identified various computer systems and pieces of electronic equipment that are critical to conducting
the entity's operations and that need to be year 2000 compliant. The Project Team is monitoring year
2000 compliance efforts at the various departments on a quarterly basis and is providing assistance
and assigning resources to accelerate compliance for all mission-critical systems and equipment.
The Project Team also is monitoring and assisting the department's efforts to develop contingency
plans should year 2000 failures adversely affect the department's mission-critical operations.
STAGES OF WORK
The City has identified three computer systems that are mission critical (that is, critical to conducting
operations). Then we are subjecting those systems and equipment to the following stages of work to
address year 2000 issues:
• Awareness stage— Establishing a budget and project plan for dealing with the year 2000
issue.
• Assessment stage— Identifying the systems and components for which year 2000
compliance work is needed.
_ • Remediation stage— Making changes to systems and equipment.
• Validation/testing stage—Validating and testing the changes that were made during the
remediation stage.
The City's year 2000 remediation work for its mission-critical systems and equipment are in the
following stages of work.
Financial Accounting Systems. The City has made plans with its current software vendor to upgrade
to their Y2K compliant version of financial accounting software.
Police Records System. The MIS and Police staffs are in the process of implementing a new system.
Telephone and Voice Mail Systems. The telephone and voice mail systems will be replaced with Y2K
compliant versions during the first half of 1999.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE
December 31, 1998
SEC DISCLOSURE.
The City has identified external parties whose preparedness for year 2000 could affect the City's
ability to provide services and meet its obligations, including the timely payment of its indebtedness.
Examples of such external parties are as follows:
External Party Description —
Anoka County The County is responsible for billing and
collecting property taxes and special
assessments. The County reports that it is
currently assessing its billing and collection
systems.
Financial Institutions Our main financial institution has completed the
validation stage and are year 2000 compliant.
They will begin testing with the Federal Reserve
System in early 1999. —
Various financial institutions are the paying
agents for the City bond issues. They report
that they are currently testing its wire transfer —
and paying agent related systems.
Investments of the City are held by various
financial institutions. They report that they are
currently remediating all wire transfer and
investment related systems.
As of December 31, 1998, other than internal staff time, the City has spent zero dollars associated
with fixing year 2000 issues, and estimates future expenditures of approximately$300,000. The City
has not incurred losses because of the year 2000 issue.
The City had no liabilities associated with year 2000 issues at December 31, 1998.
UNCERTAINTIES
Because of the unprecedented nature of the year 2000 issue, its effects and the success of related
remediation efforts will not be fully determinable until the year 2000 and thereafter. Management
cannot assure that the City is or will be year 2000 ready, that the City's remediation efforts will be
successful in whole or in part, or that parties with whom the City does business will be year 2000
ready.

GENERAL FUND
The General Fund was established to account for the revenues and expenditures necessary to
carry out basic governmental activities of the City, such as general government, public safety, and
public works. Revenues are recognized by source, such as property taxes, licenses and permits,
fines and forfeits, charges for services and state-shared taxes. General Fund expenditures are
made primarily for current day to day operations and are recorded by functional classifications and
by operating departments. This fund accounts for all financial transactions not accounted for in
another fund.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for the operations of self-supporting governmental activities
that render services or goods to the public. The accounting records are maintained on an accrual
basis.
The reporting for enterprise funds is similar to comparable private enterprises. Creditors,
legislators or the general public can evaluate the performance of a municipal enterprise on the
same basis as they can the performance of investor-owned enterprises.
Liquor Fund
This fund accounts for the operation of the City's off-sale liquor establishments.
Public Utilities Fund
This fund accounts for the operations of the City-owned sewer and water systems.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
SIGNIFICANT MINNESOTA TAX POLICIES
December 31, 1998
GENERAL
All non-exempt property in Minnesota is subject to taxation by local taxing districts. The tax levied on a property is
determined by computing its tax capacity, which is the property's market value multiplied by the appropriate class rate.
The taxes on a property are computed by multiplying the tax rate by the property's tax capacity. The tax rate is determined
by the County Auditor, dividing each tax levy by the taxing jurisdiction's adjusted net tax capacity.
Properties are physically reviewed by assessors at least once every four years.
— The assessors market value is multiplied by the appropriate class rates to arrive at the adjusted net tax capacity (taxable
value). The class rates vary by class of property.

from 1.2%for incomes below$1,000 up to 4% for incomes of$68,510. The maximum refund amount is $490.
In 1989, the Minnesota Legislature also enacted a targeting property tax credit program. This program provides refunds
to homestead property owners for part of their tax increase in excess of 12 percent, if the increase is at least $100. The
refund is equal to 75 percent of the increase over 12 percent. The maximum refund is $1,000.
Property Tax Deferred. In 1993, the Minnesota legislature enacted a law commonly known as "This Old House" which
exempts from the property tax all or a portion of the value of improvements made to homes 35 years of age or older.
Homestead property owners could exclude the property tax on those improvements for 10 years. At the end of 10 years,
the value of the improvements is added to the market value of the home in equal installments every five years. There are
limits to the dollar amount eligible for the tax exclusion: $25,000 on homes 35 to 69 years old; and $50,000 on homes 70
years or older. Only improvements adding $1,000 or more of market value are eligible. This is effective for improvements
made through January 2, 2003.
