Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Dr. Bums, Mayor Jorgenson and Council Members:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Fridley, Minnesota,for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997,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 1996. It is our belief that the accompanying
fiscal year 1997 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.

Oft
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 induded.
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, the Fridley Police Relief Association 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 1997 population of 28,419.
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 3.2% 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 new construction and redevelopment within the
City's industrial and commercial areas. In 1997, the City issued building permits valued at over $38
million,the highest amount in the City's 48-year history. About 37%of this volume was the result of new
development or business expansion. Also, the Senior High, Junior High, Woodcrest Elementary, and
Totino Grace High Schools completed major remodeling projects for a permit value of$7,500,000. Five
new industrial projects started, totaling 238,386 square feet with permit.values totaling $5,326,914. In
addition seven companies expanded their industries resulting in 65,744 additional square feet and
totaling $1,538,578 in permit values. Commercial projects included a new 37,987 square foot
"' Bachman's Retail facility with a permit value of$1,538,000. Two major retailers in Fridley, Sam's Club
and Menards, expanded their facilities for a total value of$2,780,000.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
During 1997, 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, 69 loans were dosed,
totaling $745,000. In addition, 3 remodeling loans totaling $18,000 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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY,MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION(CONTINUED)
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 three successful remodeling fairs and —
hired a part time"Remodeling Advisor"to assist homeowners with their remodeling ideas. In 1997, the
Authority, with the help of the remodeling advisor, published a Remodeling Plan Book to encourage
homeowners to remodel.
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.
Rottlund Homes was selected as the developer and is currently building a combination of single family
residences and townhomes on this fourteen-acre site. Construction has passed its half way
development point. The project will provide 118 owner occupied units. Of the 118 units, 106 are either
under construction or have been sold. The project is expected to be complete by the end of 1998.
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. While —
• several potential sites were reviewed, no decision on a future home for the warehouse liquor store was
made in 1997.
The City took over the operation of the Recycling Center on January 1, 1997. The Recycling Center
provides a "drop off' service for Anoka County and north area metro residents and businesses for all
types of recyclable materials. Customer service surveys reveal high marks for site cleanliness and
friendly staff. The City is now accepting appliances and fluorescent lights for a small fee. Scrap metal
drop off was also added to the site.
During 1997, the City of Fridley had its highest building permit volume in the City's history, surpassing
the 1996 amount by$1,711,111 ($38,747,784 vs. $37,036,673). This construction boom was a result of
the continuation of major new residential construction at the Southwest Quadrant of University and
Mississippi Street. The City completed a joint project with School District 14 to construct a new ...
gymnasium at Hayes Elementary School and constructed a new addition to the Fridley Community
Center. During the year, a number of other City projects were completed such as rewiring the City Hall
with new data cable to enable the City to improve it's communication both within the City offices and with
others, resurfacing a number of tennis courts,upgrading old playground equipment with newer and safer
equipment, building the Central Avenue bike path, relining a portion of the City's sanitary sewer system,
and the regular maintenance and upgrading of the City's wells. In addition, the City finalized the
construction of a Filtration System attached to the City's Well No. 12 to provide additional filtered water.
Internally, the 1998 budget work sessions were relatively free from major budgetary issues. While the
City is still operating within the context of financial constraints, the gap between revenues and
expenditures that was present in the 1997 budget process was not as marked in the 1998 budget
process. Much of the discussion at the work sessions focused on the need for housing revitalization in
various areas of the City. The budget sessions ended with no increase in property taxes and the
planned use of $276,807 of reserves resulting in a balanced 1998 budget that Council adopted in
December.
We were also honored to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for our 1997 Budget. —
This represented the seventh consecutive year in which the City has received this award.

CITY OF FRIDLEY,MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION(CONTINUED)
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.
During 1997, the review of potential sites for a new liquor store continued. The City continued the
search for a new location during 1997 with no success. It appears the Holly Center site will continue to
be the center of the operation for the near future. Relocating the store to a larger more permanent
location is important, but will be a long-term goal of the Liquor operation.
Implementation of an imaging system continued during 1997. This project will increase the availability of
data and the efficiency in which City staff can access it and respond to resident's requests.
Development is slated to begin in 1998 on the Fridley Executive Center Site located at the northwest
corner of 1-694 and T.H. 65. Phase I construction will entail a 106,000 square foot, one story
office/technology space valued at over$6,000,000. Future phases will indude 250,000 square feet of
multi-story office space, plus a hotel,restaurant,and other commercial services. The developer is Duke
Realty Investments, Inc.
Significant projects budgeted for 1998 in the five year capital improvement plan indude:The joint project
-- with the County for upgrading 57th Avenue and improving the 1-694 and T.H. 65 intersection; upgrading
playground equipment by replacing the old equipment with new safer and accessible equipment; street
reconstruction including concrete curb and gutter with new asphalt pavement on a number of City
streets; Rice Creek bank stabilization; 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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY,MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION(CONTINUED)
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.
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 4.85%to 9.798%.
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, 1997 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 $19,880,000. Of this outstanding debt,
$1,510,000 represents special assessment debt with government commitment, $13,665,000 represents
general obligation tax increment refunding bonds, $4,705,000 represents general obligation water,
sewer and storm water revenue bonds.
The City of Fridley has,since 1982, maintained a credit rating of a 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 commerciaUndustrial 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, 1997.
The most significant changes in revenues from the prior year were decreases in taxes and special
assessments and increases in intergovernmental and miscellaneous revenue. Taxes decreased by
$37,393 mainly due to a decrease in the collection of delinquent taxes and special assessment revenue
decreased by $70,814 due to less improvement projects being certified in 1997 than in 1996.
Intergovernmental revenue increased by$1,423,071 due to an increase in Municipal State Aid for Street
Projects as well as Federal Disaster Aid received by the City and various grants applied for and
received by the Police Department. The miscellaneous revenue increase shown was due primarily to
donations received for improvements to the Fridley Community Center in the amount of$187,732.
Percent of Increase/
Revenues Amount Total (Decrease
Taxes and special assessments $4,312,005 30.79% ($108,207)
Licenses and permits 792,622 5.66% (36,030)
Intergovernmental 5,410,058 38.63% 1,423,071
Charges for services 1,313,705 9.38% 14,210
Fines and forfeits 186,631 1.33% 10,571
Interest on investments 1,448,366 10.34% 73,554
Miscellaneous 541,546 3.87% 250,720
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, 1997.
The most significant change in expenditures is in the general government, public safety, public works,
debt service and capital outlay categories. The increase in general government is due to the City
operating the Recycling Center and providing additional services in areas reimbursed by grant revenue.
public safety expenditures show an increase due to a union contract settlement in 1997 that resulted in
backpay being paid out in 1997 for the prior year. The City refunded a bond issue in 1997 resulting in a
large increase in debt service expenditures, but which will result in significant interest savings for the

FINANCIAL INFORMATION(CONTINUEDI
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.
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 dose 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 $1,792,335 on December 31, 1997 as compared to$1,613,015 at the
dosing of the last fiscal year. Income before operating transfers increased from $209,834 in 1996 to
$254,320 in 1997. This increase is primarily due to a reduction in operating costs from 1996 to 1997.
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 $50,864 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, 1997 were $12,299,537
compared to$10,668,535 at the close of the last 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.

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 fmancial statements of the City of Fridley,Minnesota,as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1997,as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose fmancial statements
are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
purpose fmancial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and 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 fmancial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining,on a test basis,evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the general purpose fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management,as well as evaluating the overall general purpose fmancial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,the general purpose fmancial statements referred to above present fairly,in all material respects,the
fmancial position of the City of Fridley,Minnesota,as of December 31, 1997,and the results of its operations and
the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards,we have also issued a report dated June 12, 1998 on our
consideration of the City of Fridley's internal control over financial reporting and on its compliance with certain
provisions of laws and regulations.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a
whole. The combining and individual fund and account group financial statements,supporting schedules and
statistical information 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 presented in
all material respects in relation to the general purpose fmancial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF FRIDLEY. MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1997
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 Associations-These associations are organized as
nonprofit organizations by their members to provide pension and other benefits to such
members in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. Their boards of directors are elected by
the membership of the Association. All funding is conducted in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, whereby state aids flow to the associations, tax levies are determined by the
associations and are only reviewed by the City. The associations pay benefits directly to
their members. The associations may certify tax levies to the County directly if the City
does not carry out this function. Because the associations are able to fund their programs
independently of the City, they are 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, 1997
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 project 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.
36
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1997
- 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. 1997
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 increase
(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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
■
DECEMBER 31, 1997
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.
.... 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 15 for further information on budgeted and unbudgeted capital project 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.
a
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. Earnings from such investments are 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 1997 taxes were adjusted downward
$10,146 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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY,MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1997
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 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.
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) Other Assets
This account represents the market value of investments and other assets held in an
agency fund for the City's deferred compensation plan. (See Note 16.)
6) 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 -yk
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.
7) 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 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.
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.
Interest on Investments- 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.
42
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
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.
a
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.
I. 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
a 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.

less.

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 •-r
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.
Total contributions made by the City during fiscal year 1997 were:

17. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The deferred compensation plan is offered by International City
Managers Association (ICMA). The plan, available to all employees, permit them to defer a portion of
their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to the employees until
termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
On August 20, 1996 the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 457 were amended to enable
plans to hold all assets and income of the plan in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their _
beneficiaries. These assets were previously required to be held as property of the City. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 32 in October 1997. This
Statement rescinds GASB Statement 2 statements. GASB 32 is effective for the year ended
December 31, 1999 or on the date (if earlier) that the plan changes its trust provisions. The plan
provisions for the ICMA defined compensation plan was amended to hold the plan assets in trust for
the plan participants and their beneficiaries.
18. 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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1997
,■■ 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, 1997, the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of
$1,843,569 to cover future claims and losses.
19. 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, 1997.
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.
D. Construction Commitments
The significant construction commitment at December 31, 1997, was in regard to the Fridley
Community Center Project. The bid on the project was awarded in the amount of
$1,809,342 with $1,562,444 completed to date and a remaining commitment of$246,898.

22. 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, 1997, 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.

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.

SIGNIFICANT MINNESOTA TAX POLICIES
December 31. 1997
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.
Type of Property 1997
Class Rates
Residential Homestead
First$75,000 1.00%
Over$75,000 2.00
Commercial/Industrial
First$100,000 3.00
Over$100,000 4.60
Rentals
Apartments: 4+ units 3.40
Less than 4 units 2.30
Title II, MFHA, Sect. 8 2.30
Property Tax Refund. Residential property tax credits are indexed by the percentage of net property tax to household
income to the extent a homeowners property tax exceeds a percentage of household income. This percentage ranges
from 1.2%for incomes below$1,000 up to 4%for incomes of$61,930. The maximum refund if$440.
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 $1,500.
- 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.
