Mr. William W. Burns, City Manager
Mayor William J. Nee and Council Members
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Mr. Burns, Mayor Nee and Council Members:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, for the fiscal year ending
— December 31, 1992, 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 1991. It is our belief that the accompanying
fiscal year 1992 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 four 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 supplemental information section which includes information regarding federal
programs and tax increment financing activity.
Section IV is the statistical section which includes the previous year's financial and non-financial
data.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
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 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. —
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 a 1990 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 redevelopment projects in the —
past and for the future.
LOCAL ECONOMY
During the last half of 1991 and the first part of 1992, the Minneapolis area was fortunate enough to
host a number of major sporting events that created a major influx of tourists to the area These events
included the National Football League's Super Bowl, the United States Open Golf Championship, and —
the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men's Basketball Final Four. While local businesses,
especially those in the hospitality field, undoubtedly benefitted, events such as these provide only short
term benefits.
Long term growth in Fridley's economy will result from new construction and redevelopment within the
City's industrial and commercial areas. During 1992, the City issued a building permit for the
construction of a Wal-Mart Store in the northern portion of the City. By the end of 1992, the building —
was mostly complete and the opening was scheduled for March of 1993. Also, in early 1992,
McGlynn's Bakery opened in the vacant Totino's building, creating 300 new jobs. It is new development
and redevelopment such as these projects that will help Fridley grow. —
MAJOR INITIATIVES
—
During the year, the City of Fridley directed a number of construction projects including sealcoating of
13 miles of City streets, relining of sewer pipes, the diversion of Stonybrook Creek, construction of a
service road on the west side of University Avenue and the annual overlay and reconstruction of
various City streets.
Internally, the City continued the installation of portions of the HTE, Inc. software purchased in 1991.
On January 1, 1992, the general ledger, accounts payable and payroll modules were implemented after
training and parallel testing were completed in 1991. In the fall of 1992, training, testing and
6
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED),
MAJOR INITIATIVES (CONTINUED)
implementation of the utility billing, licensing and building permit modules were completed. These
modules were installed despite division head vacancies within the effected divisions during portions of
the installation. In addition to the computer system, a consultant was chosen to review all City fees and
make recommendations regarding fee and procedural changes. By year end, interviews with
department managers and a detailed analysis of each fee was complete. The consultant's report will
be issued in early 1993.
Other notable initiatives included: preparation for and issuance of improvement, water revenue and tax
increment bonds; receipt of a loan and grant from the State Department of Natural Resources for the
reconstruction of Locke Lake Dam; reacquisition of the Lake Pointe property by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority; receipt of a grant from the State Department of Trade and Economic
Development to aid McGlynn's Bakeries in creating jobs by converting a vacant property to meet their
needs; and increasing the recycling program's tonnage by 57% from 1,370 tons in 1991 to 2,150 tons
in 1992.
_ We were also honored to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for our 1992 Budget.
This represented the fourth consecutive year in which the City has received this award.
'-' 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. One alternative is to share services and facilities between the City and
-� neighboring cities. Along these lines,the City continues to investigate the feasibility of a regional senior
citizen center to serve Fridley's and three neighboring cities senior citizens. The City will also be
negotiating with the United States Army and a neighboring city to receive excess potable water
generated from the Army's clean up efforts at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant.
Internally , we will continue to review our operation and to make changes to improve our effectiveness
and efficiency. The budget and fixed asset modules of the HTE Inc. computer software are schedule
"' for installation during 1993. In addition, increased familiarity with the report writer feature of the software
will allow all users design reports tailored to their needs. Based on past reviews, we will be
reorganizing our liquor store operations in an effort to increase their profitability. The new organization
structure will be in place during the summer of 1993 and should begin to show results before the end
of the year. A major fire training facility is planned for construction in 1993 to help train the City's
volunteer firefighters. In addition, a housing coordinator will be hired to start up and oversee a housing
rehabilitation program.
Significant projects budgeted for 1993 in the five year capital improvement plan include: remodeling
the fire department storage room; resurfacing of tennis courts; adding picnic shelters and construction
of a parking lot at Moore Lake Park; construction of paths and the addition of picnic shelters within
Riverview Heights Park; repair and modification of the Locke Filter Plant; relining of various storm and
sanitary sewer lines; diversion of Highland Lake storm sewer; and the annual sealcoating, street
reconstruction, well, reservoir and pump house maintenance programs.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
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. —
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 3.30%to 10.20%.
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, 1992 the City of Fridley's debt 1■4
service funds provided sufficient capital to cover the net general bonded debt.
The City has numerous debt issues outstanding totalling $22,605,000. Of this outstanding debt,
$4,215,000 represents special assessment debt with government commitment, $13,515,000 represents
general obligation tax increment refunding bonds, $2,540,000 relates to tax increment issues supported
by revenue from the established tax increment areas, $2,200,000 represents general obligation water
revenue bonds and $135,000 represents a construction loan from the State of Minnesota During 1992,
the city issued$840,000 of general obligation bonds to finance various improvement projects completed

DEBT ADMINISTRATION (CONTINUED)
and assessed against benefitted property and to call the 1980 Special Assessment Bonds at their next
call date, February 1, 1993. In addition, $620,000 of general obligation water revenue bonds were
issued in 1992 to finance various water utility improvements. These bonds are secured by the full faith
and credit and taxing powers of the City and the net revenues of the City's water utility. Finally,
$4,030,000 of general obligation tax increment bonds were sold to acquire property for future
development.
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 commercial/industrial property valuations or growth be
placed in an areawide 'pool', and shared according to specific criteria
TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City Council took action on May 7, 1979 to form the first of nine 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.
During the past few years there has been numerous development/redevelopment activities in various
areas throughout the City. In the North Area the Springbrook apartments at Northtown were completed.
In the Moore Lake area, three projects have been completed and the Northwest Racquet and Swim
Club opened in the summer of 1990. There is also a new shopping center and an office complex
which are in the process of leasing space. Two new areas were designated tax increment areas in
1992, and the City anticipates activity in these areas in the upcoming years.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) —
GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED) —
The most significant changes in revenues from the prior year were in the intergovernmental revenue,
and interest income categories. The large increase in intergovernmental revenue is traceable to three —
individual aids or grants. First, as discussed above, the City received a one-time $250,000 grant from
the State Department of Trade and Economic Development. Second, the city received approximately
$650,000 more money for the construction of streets than it received in 1991. Finally, the City received
an additional $125,000 in local government aid from sales tax collections at the state level. Interest on
investments was up significantly due to increased fund balance and favorable investment rates of which
the City was able to take advantage.
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, 1992.
Percent
Expenditures Amount of Total Increase
Current:
General government $2,860,098 15.62% $329,398
Public safety 3,320,123 18.13% 50,887
Civic center 172,664 0.94% 6,696
Public works 2,306,970 12.60% 92,976
Community development 378,690 2.07% (43,691)
Recreation and naturalist 702,421 3.85% 46,436
Debt service 1,884,325 10.29% 18,020
Capital outlay 6,684,269 36.51% 5,480,192
Total $18,309,560 100.01% $5,980,914
—
The most significant increases are in the general government and capital outlay categories. The
increase in general government is attributable to the pass-through of the aforementioned grant for
McGlynn's Bakery and increases in the referendum returns from tax increments. The capital outlay
increase is caused by the acquisition of the Lake Pointe property (4,230,000), taxes and on the propety
at the time it was acquired (470,000) and the implemenation of a street reconstruction program
(772,000) where overlays had been done previously. After factoring out capital outlay, the overall
increase in other categories is 4.5% which is somewhat reflective of inflation and the imposition of a —
new sales tax on City expenditures. However, a more detailed analysis among categories indicates
the public safety increase relates to 1991 new employees beginning to progress through the salary
steps. The public works category reflects increased amounts for sealcoating. The decline in
Community Development category is due to decrease personal services resulting from the temporary —
replacement of the Building Official position with a part-time employee.

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
years 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 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 at 214
Mississippi Street. The City owns the store at the Highway 65 location and currently has a lease with
one year options at 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 which use
wholesale pricing. Retained earnings of the Liquor Fund were $1,274,852 on December 31, 1992 as
compared to $1,112,630 at the closing of the last fiscal year. Income before operating transfers
decreased from $165,116 in 1991 to $162,222 in 1992.
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 Waste Control Commission of
$161,836 which represents the City's share of the equity in the Minneapolis Sewer System which was
acquired by the Commission on January 1, 1971. This amount will be paid to the City by means of
issuing credits against future sewer billings from the Commission. These credits will be applied in
annual installments with interest through 1999.
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 and 1992. 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, 1992 were $10,266,263 compared to
$10,102,711 at the closing 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 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
TAUTGES, REDPATH & CO., LTD.
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
—. To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fridley,Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley,Minnesota, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1992 as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government
Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall 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,
1992, and the results of its operations and its cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole.The combining,individual fund, account group financial statements,
supporting schedules and statistical information in the table of contents is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1992
1. Summary of Significant Accountings 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.
Blended Component Unit - The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is
governed by commissioners appointed by the Fridley City Council. Although it is legally
separate from the City, the HRA is reported as if it were a part of the City because its sole
purpose is to provide housing and redevelopment assistance to the City's residents. The
majority of funding for the various programs administered by the HRA is provided through the
issuance of general obligation tax increment bonds guaranteed by the City.
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 Police and Volunteer Firefighters Relief Associations - These associations are
organized as non-profit 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 Notes 9 and 10 for
disclosures relating to the pension plans operated by these organizations.) --

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31. 1992
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued).
>-B. Fund Accounting —
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.
The 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.

DECEMBER 31. 1992
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus (Continued)
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.
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.
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.
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.

E. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting (Continued)
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. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Capital Improvement Capital ._
Projects 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.
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. 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.

F. Assets, Liabilities and Fund Equity (Continued)
1) Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Investments (Continued)
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by
means of an advance from the internal service funds. This is classified as an interfund
payable in the fund receiving the advance and as an offsetting interfund receivable in
the internal service funds.
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 1992 taxes were adjusted downward
$28,502 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.
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.
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 —

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
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 approved leaves by
employee. 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

8. Defined Benefit Pension Plans-Statewide
A. Plan Description
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City of Fridley are covered by defined benefit —
pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota
(PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) and the Public
Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) which are cost-sharing multiple-employer public —
employee retirement systems.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated members
are covered by Social Security and Basic members are not. All new members must participate
in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, firefighters and peace officers who qualify for
membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF. The payroll for employees covered by PERF
and PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 1992, was $3,274,358 and $1,302,892,
respectively; the City's total payroll was $5,776,079.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to
survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by State Statute, and vest
after three years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on member's
average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at
termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for Coordinated and Basic —
members. The retiring member receives the higher of step-rate benefit accrual formula(Method
1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1,the annuity accrual rates for a Basic
member is 2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.5 percent
for each remaining year. For a Coordinated member, the annuity accrual is 1 percent of
average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.5 percent of each remaining year. Using
Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5 percent of average salary for Basic members and 1.5
percent for Coordinated members. For PEPFF members,the annuity accrual rate is 2.5 percent —
of average salary for each of the first 25 years and 2 percent for each remaining year. For
PERF members whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, and for all PEPFF members, a full
annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal annuity
is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree. No survivor annuity is payable.
There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will reduce —
the monthly normal annuity amount, because the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members
may also leave their contributions in the fund upon termination of public service, in order to
qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at any
time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin.
B. Contributions Required and Contributions Made
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. The
City makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount required by State
statutes. According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356.215, Subdivision 4 (g), the date of full
funding required for the PERF and the PEPEF is the year 2020. As part of the annual actuarial
valuation, PERA's actuary determines the sufficiency of the statutory contribution rates towards
meeting the required full funding deadline. The actuary compares the actual contribution rate
to a 'required' contribution rate. Current combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially
required contribution rates for the plans are as follows:

year ended June 30, 1992, represented .54 percent of total contributions required of all
participating entities.
C. Funding Status and Progress
1. Pension Benefit Obligation
The 'pension benefit obligation' is a standardized disclosure measure of the present
value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and step-
rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to
,..- date. The measure, which is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits,
is intended to help users assess PERA's funding status on a going-concern basis,
assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and
make comparisons among Public Employees Retirement Systems and among employers.
PERA does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation
for individual employers.

10. Defined Benefit Pension Plan - Fridley Police Relief Association (Continued)
A. Plan Description (Continued)
Vested Deferred 10 years of service and separated before age 50. Maximum benefit is 40/75
of base pay. Payment beginning is deferred to attainment of age 50.
Post-Retirement Adlustment ('Escalator'), Each time base pay is changed, payments to all
benefit recipients are simultaneously changed by the same percent that base pay is changed.
(Exception - For members on age and service retirement with less than 20 years service, the
maximum increase is 3% compounded annually. Also, applies to survivors of these retirants).
Police officers who are members of the Association are required to pay 8 percent of their base
pay to the Association; 75 percent of the member's contribution is refundable, without interest,
if no benefit is payable upon separation of service. The City makes annual contributions to the
relief association equal to the amount required by state statutes.
B. Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown below as the 'pension benefit obligation' is a standardized disclosure
measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary
increases, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The
measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is intended to (i) help
users assess the plan's funding status on a going-concern basis. (ii) assess progress being
_ made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and (iii) allow for comparisons
among public employees retirement plans. The measure is independent of the actuarial funding
method used to determine contributions to the plan.
The pension benefit obligation was determined as part of an actuarial valuation of the plan as
of December 31, 1992. Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the pension
benefit obligation include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of
5.0% per year compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 3.5% per year
compounded annually, attributable to inflation, and (c)the assumption that benefits will increase
3.5% per year after retirement.

10. Defined Benefit Pension Plan - Fridley Police Relief Association (Continued)
C. Contributions Required and Contributions Made
Financial requirements of the Association are determined on an actuarial basis using the entry
age normal actuarial cost method. Normal cost is funded on a current basis. The unfunded
actuarial accrued liability is to be funded by December 31, 2010. The City's minimum obligation
is the financial requirement for the year less anticipated member contributions and state aids.
Any additional payments by the City shall be used to amortize the unfunded liability of the
Association. The funding strategy for normal cost and the unfunded actuarial accrued liability
should provide sufficient resources to pay Association benefits on a timely basis.
Total contributions to the Association in 1992 amounted to $220,312, of which $30,471 and
$25,969 were made by the City and its police officers respectively and of which $163,872 was
state aid received by the City and remitted to the Association. The contributed amounts were
actuarially determined as described above and were equal to the contribution requirements
determined by an actuarial valuation of the plan as of December 31, 1990. The contributions
represent funding for normal cost of $59,125 and the amortization of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability of $161,187. Contributions made by the City, state and its police officers
represent 9.7 percent, 52.4 percent and 8.3 percent, respectively, of covered payroll for the
year.
--
Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute pension contribution requirements are
substantially the same as those to determine the standardized measure of the pension
obligation.
The computation of the pension contribution requirements for 1992 was based on the same
actuarial assumptions, benefit provision, actuarial funding method, and other significant factors
used to determine pension contribution requirements in previous years. The contribution
requirements based on the December 31, 1992 actuarial valuation and effective January 1, 1994
are $38,512 to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and $136,763 of employer
contributions for normal costs.
D. Historical Trend Information
Historical trend information related to the pension plan is presented in the Association's annual
financial report. The information is presented to enable the reader to assess the progress made
by the Association in accumulating sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become
due.

16. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan established in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all employees, permits them to defer a portion of
their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until
termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made
available to the employees or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the City, subject only
to the claims of the City's general creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of
general creditors of the City in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for
each participant.
It is the opinion of the City's legal counsel that the City has no liability for losses under the plan but —
does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City
believes that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the
future. ,_
Plan assets are $4,067,826 stated at market on December 31, 1992 and are shown in the financial
statements as 'Other assets' in the agency funds with a corresponding credit to 'Deposits payable'.
17. Litigation
The City had the usual and customary type of miscellaneous claims pending at year-end, mostly of a
minor nature and usually all covered by insurance carried for that purpose. At the present time, there
is no significant litigation pending not covered by the City's insurance.
18. Leases
The City leases the property at 214 Mississippi from the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority —
for a warehouse liquor store. The City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority have a lease with
one year options. Rental expense is $21,250 annually.
19. Deficit Balances

taxable value is currently retained by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
21. Gain on Issuance of Sewer Availability Charge Credits
In order to finance additions to the metropolitan area sewage disposal system,the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission (MWCC) requires cities to collect and remit a sewer availability
charge as a property connects to the system. Credits are issued to a city when a property
changes uses and generates less sewage. During 1992, MWCC determined that it owed the
City $167,500 in such credits. These credits will be used to offset future availability collections
by the City.
22. Restatement of Prior Years
For the year ended December 31, 1992, the City implemented Statement 16 of the Government
Accounting Standards Board, which resulted in recording as a liability the employer's share of
Medicare and Social Security. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1991
have been restated to reflect this new accounting standard. The effect of this change was to
increase Internal Service Fund liabilities and expenses in 1991 by $58,277.
23. Subsequent Event
On February 1, 1993, the City redeemed the Special Assessment Bonds of 1980 by exercising
the call provision contained in the bond resolution. The call of the remaining $250,000 was
funded by a portion of the proceeds from the General Obligation Special Assessment Bonds
of 1992, Series A.

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.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for revenues derived from specific taxes or other
earmarked revenue sources. They are usually required by statute, charter provision or local ordinance
to finance particular governmental functions or activities.
Cable TV Fund
This fund receives revenues from the issuance of a franchise agreement with the cable TV provider.
These revenues are used for the operation and maintenance of a government access channel.
Grant Management Fund
This fund administers grants received from a variety of intergovernmental agencies. In most cases,
grant funds are provided on a reimbursement basis following proper documentation of expenditures,
however, in some cases the money is provided in advance to be spent on specific activities outlined
in the grant.
Solid Waste Abatement Fund
This fund receives grants, recycling fees and yard waste fees. These revenues finance the City's
curbside recycling pickup and operation of the yard waste transfer site.
Drug and Gambling Forfeiture Fund
This fund receives forfeited property in connection with illegal gambling or drug activity. Pursuant to
Minnesota statutes the proceeds are disbursed equally between the investigating agency and the
prosecuting agency.
HRA Reimbursement Fund
This fund receives revenues from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. These revenues are used
to reimburse the City for professional services provided by city staff for HRA related activities.

In connection with our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley,
Minnesota,and with our consideration of the City of Fridley's control structure used to administer
federal financial assistance programs,as required by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
- 128, "Audits of State and Local Governments," we selected certain transactions applicable to
certain nonmajor federal financial assistance programs for the year ended December 31, 1992. As
required by Circular A-128,we have performed auditing procedures to test compliance with the
requirements governing the allowability of services and program expenditures that are applicable to
—
those transactions. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion on the City of Fridley Minnesota's compliance with these
requirements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested,the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of
noncompliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not

Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Control Structure
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fridley,Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley,Minnesota, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1992, and have issued our report thereon dated June 10,
1993.
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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the City of
Fridley, Minnesota,for the year ended December 31, 1992,we considered its internal control
structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control
structure.
The management of the City of Fridley, Minnesota,is responsible for establishing and maintaining
an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility,estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control
structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide
management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition,and that transactions are executed in accordance with
_ management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of
inherent limitations in any internal control structure,errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur
and not be detected. Also,projections of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject
to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
For the purpose of this report,we have classified the significant internal control structure policies
and procedures in the following categories;receivables,cash receipts, billings,accounts payable,
cash disbursements and payroll.
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the
design of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation,and we
assessed control risk.

Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a reportable condition
in which the design or operation of one or more of the specific internal control structure elements
does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would
— be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not
be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Control
Structure Used in Administering Federal Financial Assistance Programs
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fridley,Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley,Minnesota, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1992, and have issued our report thereon dated June 10,
1993.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;Government
Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of
Management and Budget(OMB)Circular A-128,Audits of State and Local Governments. Those
standards and OMB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement
and about whether the City of Fridley,Minnesota,complied with laws and regulations,
noncompliance with which would be material to a federal financial assistance program.
In planning and performing our audits for the year ended December 31, 1992, we considered the
City's internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the City's general purpose financial statements. This report addresses
our consideration of internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to compliance with
requirements applicable to federal financial assistance programs. We have addressed policies and
procedures relevant to our audit of the general purpose financial statements in a separate report
dated June 10, 1993.
The management of the City of Fridley,Minnesota is responsible for establishing and maintaining
an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility,estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control
structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide
management with reasonable,but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition,that transactions are executed in accordance with
— management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,and that federal
financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,errors,irregularities,or instances
of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also,projection of any evaluation
of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies
and procedures may deteriorate

4810 White Bear Parkway • White Bear Lake, Minnesota 55110 • 612/426-7000 • FAX/426-5004 • Member of HLB International
For the purpose of this report,we have classified the significant internal control structure policies
and procedures used in administering federal financial assistance programs in the following
categories:
General Requirements: Specific Requirements:
Political Activity Types of Services
Civil Rights Eligibility
Cash Management Special Tests and Provisions
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Claims for Reimbursement
Acquisition
Allowable Costs/Cost Principles
Administrative Requirements
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above,we obtained an understanding of the
design of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in
operation, and we assessed control risk.
During the year ended December 31, 1992,the City of Fridley,Minnesota had no major federal
financial assistance programs and expended 68%of its total federal financial assistance under the
-. Community Development Block Grant nonmajor federal financial assistance program.
We performed tests of controls,as required by OMB Circular A-128,to evaluate the effectiveness
of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we have
considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements,
general requirements,and requirements governing claims for reimbursements applicable to the
aforementioned nonmajor programs. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary
to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly,we
do not express such an opinion.
We noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be
reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to out attention relating to significant
deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that,in our judgment,could
adversely affect the City's ability to administer federal financial assistance programs in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations.
_ A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of
the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a federal financial assistance
program may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course
of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control structure that might be reportable conditions and,accordingly,would not
necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as
defined above.

SIGNIFICANT MINNESOTA TAX POLICIES
DECEMBER 31, 1992
GENERAL
All non-exempt property in Minnesota is subject to taxation by local taxing districts. 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.
A tax rate is determined by the County Auditor by dividing each taxing jurisdictions tax levy by the ^
jurisdiction's adjusted net tax capacity. The taxes on a property are then computed by multiplying this
tax rate by the property's tax capacity.
The schedule below shows some of the major classes of property and their applicable class rates.
Type of Property 1992
Class Rates
Residential Homestead
First $72,000 1.00%
$72,000 - 115,000 2.00
Over $115,000 2.50
Commercial/Industrial
—
First $100,000 3.10
Over $100,000 4.75
Rentals
Apartments: 4+ units 3.50
Less than 4 units 3.80
Title II, MFHA, Sect. 8 2.30
Property Tax Refund. Residential property tax credits are gauged by percentages of the net property
tax to household income: to the extent a homeowners income (1.2% for incomes below $1,000, up to
4% for incomes of $60,000) homeowners may receive State refunds up to $400.
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 10 percent.
The refund is equal to 75 percent of the first $275 of the increase and 90 percent of the increase over
$275. .,
