_ 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, 1994, 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 1993. It is our belief that the accompanying
fiscal year 1994 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 Ill 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 an estimated 1994 population of 28,287. —
The City is located just north of downtown Minneapolis and covers 11 square miles. 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. —
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 4% for the last several years with very little
change. Office and retail space continue to be readily available. The market values for these
properties continue to decline slightly, although they appear to be recovering slowly. The Twin City
area continues to receive a large influx of tourists to visit the Mall of America, the nation's largest mall
which includes a seven acre indoor amusement park. While the hospitality industry adjacent to and
near the Mall is benefitting, the City of Fridley, located 25 miles from the Mall, receives little or no
benefit from the tourist traffic. —'
Long term growth in Fridley's economy will result from new construction and redevelopment within the
City's industrial and commercial areas. During 1994, the City welcomed a number of new businesses. —
Murphy Warehouse,a storage and delivery warehouse, relocated to Fridley from the City of Minneapolis,
opening a 266,000 square foot facility. Slumberland, a retail bed and furniture chain, opened a new
store in the northern part of the City. Also, several smaller businesses relocated from other sites in —
Fridley to larger buildings that were vacant.
In addition to the new businesses, the City saw the opening of Norwood Square, a 50 unit specially
designed low income senior citizen housing complex, in the fall of 1994. It is new development and —
redevelopment such as these projects that will help Fridley grow.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
MAJOR INITIATIVES
During 1994, the City Council continued to focus significant attention on the quality of the housing
stock within the City. On July 11, the City Council adopted a rental housing ordinance which
established an inspection process for all rental housing in the City. These inspections are designed
to ensure that all rental housing meets minimum fire and safety standards. By the end of 1994,. 12.8%
of the rental units had been inspected. The HRA and the City sponsor several housing programs that
— include grants, loans and a first time homebuyer mortgages. During 1994, 35 homeownwers received
over $1,141,000 of assistance. The HRA also acquired eight scattered sites that contained either
abandoned or severly deteriorated housing. The houses were removed and the properties that can
accomodate new housing were sold to a developer in early 1995. The developer will be building new
single family homes on these sites.
_ During the year, the City of Fridley directed a number of construction projects including the repair and
replacement of the Locke Park Filters, storm water construction around Highland Lake and 52nd
Avenue, repalcement of the Locke Lake Dam, improvements to Stinson Bouleveard, and the annual
overlay and reconstruction of various City streets. The sealcoating program resumed in 1994 with a
test of a new process in addition to the standard sealcoat method.
Internally, an information systems committee was formed to review our use of computers, provide
— recomendations on equipment acquisition and develop a five year computer plan. Several new postions
were created during 1994 allowing the City to hire a number of new employees. Three new police
officers were hired in order to meet the increasing demand for police services. The second liquor store
manager was hired in early 1994, completing the reorganization of the management of the City liquor
operation. Finally, a planning coordinator was hired to provide additional support for the increasing
planning requests.
We were also honored to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for our 1993 Budget.
This represented the fifth 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. 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 reveunues.
As a result of reviewing our operations, several new computer systems are projected for installation in
1995. The fixed asset and special assessment modules of the HTE Inc. computer software is scheduled
for installation during 1995. In addition,the HTE code enforcement module will be installed; automating
what was once a manually process. Also, the police and fire departments are reviewing public safety
software with the intent of replacing their outdated software before the end of 1995. These new
software systems are designed to increase our efficiency and the amount of information available.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE (CONTINUED)
During 1995, the City and HRA will be working together to acquire and redevelop a fourteen acre site
at the intersection of University and Mississippi Avenues. This area, known as the Southwest Quadrant, —
currently contains several apartment buildings and small retail establishments. These properties will be
acquired in 1995, demolished and replaced with a combination of townhomes and senior
condominiums. One of the businesses being displaced by this development is the City's liquor
warehouse store. During 1995, the City will be reviewing potential new locations and should begin —
construction of a new liquor store in the summer or fall.
Significant projects budgeted for 1995 in the five year capital improvement plan include: selection and —
installation of an optical disk imaging to archive City records; ballfield safety improvements to protect
participants an spectators while using City facilities; Street reconstruction including concrete curb and
gutter with new asphalt pavement on a number of City streets; relining sanitary and storm sewer pipes —
to decrease inflow and outflow; redesigning and rebuilding of old lift stations; and the annual
sealcoating, well, reservoir and pump house maintenance programs.
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, Special Revenue and Capital
Improvement Capital Project Funds. Budgetary control is maintained in compliance with the City Charter
Requirements. The Charter provides that it is the duty of the City Manager to strictly enforce the —
provisions of the budget. The management policy of the City is such that the existence of a particular
item or appropriation in the approved budget does not mean that it will or must be automatically
expended. It is the policy of the City to control budgets at the expenditure category level Budget —
adjustments between City divisions are made upon the approval of a resolution by the City Council.
The City Charter provides that the City Council shall not have power to increase the total amount of
the budget, whether by insertion of new items or otherwise, beyond the estimated revenue unless the
actual revenue exceeds such revenue estimates, and in that event not beyond such actual revenue. —
There is a constant review process. Expenditures are not approved until it has been determined that
1) the expenditure is necessary, 2) adequate funds have been appropriated, and 3)funds are available.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
— CASH MANAGEMENT
All temporary cash surpluses during the year are invested in various securities which State statutes
.-. permit. The City's policy is to invest all available monies at competitive interest rates in accordance with
the City's over-all fiscal plan coordinated with operating needs and programs projected over the ensuing
12 month period. Investment yields on investments held during the year ranged from 2.02%to 11.62%.
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, 1994 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 totalling $19,727,857. Of this outstanding debt,
$1,725,000 represents special assessment debt with government commitment, $11,435,000 represents
general obligation tax increment refunding bonds, $4,030,000 relates to tax increment issues supported
by revenue from the established tax increment areas, $2,410,000 represents general obligation water,
sewer and storm water revenue bonds and $127,857 represents a construction loan from the State of
Minnesota During 1994, the City retired the remaining portion of the 1982 Special Assessment Bonds
-. and the 1986 Crossover Refunding Bonds by exercising the call provision contained in the bond
resolution.
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 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 redevelopment projects have occurred resulting in a number of benefits to the City.
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, 1994.

Miscellaneous 272,118 1.85% (114,306)
Total $14,687,625 100.00% ($2,215,181)
The most significant changes in revenues from the prior year were in taxes and special assessments,
intergovernmental and interest revenue categories. The large decrease in taxes and special —
assessments is due to an increase in delinquent tax and special assessment collections during 1993
relating to the HRA's purchase of the Lake Pointe Property. In addition, tax increment revenues
decreased due to the expiration of two districts on December 31, 1993. Intergovernmental revenue's _
decrease results from the City receiving $887,280 less in state construction money than was received
in 1993 due to less work being done on streets with a state aid designation. This decrease is in part
offset by an increase in Community Development Block Grant revenues resulting from increasing
programs during 1994. Finally, interest on investments decreased significantly due to much lower —
interest rates during 1994 and the City liquidating several investments during 1993 whose rates were
substantially higher than the market.
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, 1994.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED)
The most significant change is in the general government, debt service and capital outlay categories.
— The general government increase is due to a new home rehabilitation program made available during
1994 with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. This program increased expenditures
from this grant by $233,314. In addition, HRA expenditures increased due to new housing programs,
acquistion and demolition of scattered sites and the beginning of the Southwest Quadrant project. The
large increase in debt service resulted from calling two bond issues in early 1994. The City expended
$1,865,000 to call the 1980 Special Assessment Bonds and the 1986 Crossover Refunding Bonds. The
increase in capital outlay is due to the replacement of the Locke Lake Dam at a cost of $477,348.
Excluding capital outlay, the increased, full reimbursed CDBG expenditures and debt service
expenditures, the overall increase in other categories is 7.4%which is reasonable given inflation of the
new programs initiated by the HRA.
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.

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 $1,539,095 on December 31, 1994
as compared to $1,407,355 at the closing of the last fiscal year. Income before operating transfers
increased from $132,503 in 1993 to $156,740 in 1994.
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
$121,849 representing 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
ENTERPRISE OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
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 and 1994. 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, 1994 were $10,390,651
compared to $10,102,668 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 —
$100,000 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 accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley,
Minnesota,as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994 as listed in the table of contents.
These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,on a
test basis,evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management,as well as evaluating the overall general purpose fmancial
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,
1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
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 fmancial
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 stated in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 ._
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.
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. 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 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. Fund Accounting (Continued)
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.

DECEMBER 31, 1994
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.
35

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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. Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and
Capital Improvement Capital Projects Funds. Formal budgeting integration is employed
as a management control device during the year for each of these funds. Formal
budgetary integration is not employed for Debt Service Funds because effective
budgetary control is achieved through the bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control
for other Capital Projects Funds is accomplished through the use of project controls.
(See Note 16 for further information on budgeted and unbudgeted capital 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. .,
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 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 1994 taxes were adjusted downward
$229,213 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 —
prior to year end.
Delinquent - amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
IMOM
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

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 17.)
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 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.

'— A. Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statues, 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 Statues require that it be held by
a third party in the City's name. The market value of the collateral must at a minimum be 110%
of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds (140% in the case of mortgage backed
collateral). Repurchase agreements are intentionally overcollateralized at 105% to insure that
the safety of investment principal is attained and losses do not occur from rapid overnight
deterioration. Due to wire transfers and tax settlements credited by the bank at the end of the
day, there were several occasions during the year where overnight deposits were
undercollateralized. On each occasion, the uncollateralized balance was invested with another
financial institution on the following day.

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, 1994, was $3,394,504 and $1,502,283,
respectively; the City's total payroll was $6,087,598.
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 2.65
percent of average salary for each year of service. 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 PEPFF 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, 1994, represented .52 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 (a) help users assess PERA's funding status on a going-concern basis,
(b) assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, —
and (c) 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.

as of June 30, 1994. Net assets available to pay pension benefits were valued as of
June 30, 1994.
For the PERF, significant actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the pension
benefit obligation include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future
assets of 8.5 percent per year, compounded annually, prior to retirement, and 5 percent
per year, compounded annually, following retirement; (b) projected salary increases
taken from a select and ultimate table; (c) payroll growth at 6 percent per year,
consisting of 5 percent for inflation and 1 percent due to growth in group size; (d) post-
- retirement benefit increases that are accounted for by the 5 percent rate of return
assumption following retirement; and (e) mortality rates based on the 1983 Group
Annuity Mortality Table set forward one year for retired members and set back five years
for each active member.
Actuarial assumption used in the calculation of the PEPFF include (a) a rate of return
on the investment of present and future assets.of 8.5 percent per year, compounded
annually, prior to retirement, and 5 percent per year, compounded annually following
retirement; (b) projected salary increases of 6.5 percent per year, compounded annually,
attributable to the effects of inflation; (c)post-retirement increases that are accounted for
the 5 percent rate of return assumption following retirement; and (d) mortality rates
based on the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table projected to 1984 for males and
females.

C. Funding Status and Progress (Continued)
2. Changes in Benefit Provisions
The 1994 legislative session did not include any benefit improvements which would
impact funding costs for the PERF and the PEPFF.
3. Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
Prior to fiscal year 1994, the salary increase assumption and the mortality tables used
in the calculation of pension benefit obligation for the PERF were the same as those
specified for the PEPFF. For July 1, 1994 actuarial valuation, PERA's board of trustees
approved new mortality rates updated to the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table, salary —
increases which were changed to a select and ultimate table and a new payroll growth
assumption which was changed from 6.5 percent to 6 percent. These changes were
made to reflect actual experience of the plan. —
With the adoption of the actuarial assumption changes and the new mortality tables for
the PERF, the pension benefit obligation increased $56,596,000. The actuarial
assumption changes also necessitated a $81,201,000 transfer from the PERF Benefit
Reserve to the PERF Minnesota Post Retirement Investment Fund (MPRIF) Reserve to
finance the increased obligation for future retirement benefits. The change in the
mortality rate assumption increased the PERF's costs because pensioners are living —
longer the assumed previously. The change in the salary increase assumption,however,
offset some of the additional costs because lower salary increases generally translate
into lower benefit liabilities in the future.
Potential changes in the assumptions used for the PEPFF may be made in the future
after completion of a special experience study for that fund. Completion of the PEPFF
experience study is expected by February 1, 1995.
D. Ten-Year Historical Trend Information
Ten-year historical trend information is presented in PERA's Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report for the year ended June 30, 1994. This information is useful in assessing the pension
plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due.
E. Related Party Investments
As of June 30, 1994, and for the fiscal year then ended, PERA held no securities issued by the
City or other related parties.
F. Federal Insurance Contribution Act (Social Security)
Approximately sixty (60%) percent of the permanent City employees are covered by Social
Security. The 1994 contribution rate was 7.65% (6.2% is social security and 1.45% is medicare) —.
up to a maximum in wages of $60,600 for Social Security with no maximum in wages for
Medicare. The cost of Social Security for 1994 was $238,459. In addition, as of April 1, 1986
all newly hired or returning seasonal employees who are not covered by PERA and thus —
contributing to Social Security, must contribute 1.45% of their salary to Medicare with an equal
match made by the City. The 1994 cost for Medicare was $67,315.

system consolidated with the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota's (PERA)
Police and Fire Consolidation Fund (PFCF), an agent multiple employer retirement plan, on
November 30, 1993. Police officers of the City hired prior to December 15, 1975, were members —
of the Association. Police officers hired after December 15, 1975 are members of the PERA
Public Employees Police and Fire Fund. The City's payroll for employees covered by PFCF
for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $404,822; the City's total payroll was $6,087,598. —
PFCF members have the option to choose benefits identical to these of the Public Employees
Police & Fire Fund identified in Note 8; otherwise, they are covered by the benefit provisions
of the relief association at the time of consolidation, which were as follows: —
Age and Service Retirement

Amount For first 10 years of service, 15/75 of base pay. For each year in excess of 10, an
additional 2/75 is added. For each year in excess of 20, an additional 1/75 is added up to --
a maximum of 42/75 of base pay.
Pay Used for Plan Purposes For benefit determination purposes, "base pay" means the —
salary of a first grade patrolman for the second month of the previous fiscal year. For
contribution purposes, it means the present base pay of a first grade patrolman.
Disability Retirement —
Eligibility Disabled to the extent that member is no longer able to perform the duties of a

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 Adjustment ("Escalator") Each time base pay was changed, payments to all
benefit recipients were simultaneously changed by the same percent that base pay was
changed. (Exception - For members on age and service retirement with less than 20 years
service, the maximum increase was 3% compounded annually. Also, applies to survivors of
these retirees).
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 (a) help
�-' users assess the plan's funding status on a going-concern basis. (b) assess progress being
made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and (c) 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 the most recent actuarial valuation
_ of the plan which was dated June 30, 1994. 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 8.5%per year compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases
of 6.5% percent per year, compounded annually, attributable to the effects of inflation; (c) post-
- retirement increases that are accounted for the 5 percent rate of return assumption following
retirement; and (d) mortality rates based on the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table projected
to 1984 for males and females.

Net assets available/Pension benefit obligation 91.20%
No changes in actuarial assumptions or benefit provisions that would significantly affect the —
valuation of the pension benefit obligation occurred during 1994.
C. 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 PFCF 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. Contributions actuarially required are equal to contributions
made due to the additional municipal contribution, if any, paid by the employer. Current
combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially required contribution rates for the PFCF
are 7.60% for the employee and 11.40% for the employer.
Total contributions made by the City and its employees for the year ended June 30, 1994,
were $43,225 and $30,839 respectively. The contributions represented 10.67% and 7.61% of
covered payroll. The City contributions for the year ended June 30, 1994 represented 4% of —
the total contributions required of all participating entities.
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

17. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) both offer their 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 plans, 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 and HRA,
subject only to the claims of the City's and HRA's general creditors. Participants' rights under the plan
are equal to those of general creditors of the City and HRA in an amount equal to the fair market value
of the deferred account for each participant.
It is the opinion of legal counsel that the City and HRA have 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, stated at market on December 31, 1994, are $4,695,082 and $6,136 for the City and HRA
respectively; and are shown in the financial statements as 'Other assets' in the agency funds with a

18. Litigation —
The City had the usual and customary type of miscellaneous claims pending at year-end, mostly of a

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise Funds are used to account for the operations of self-supporting governmental activities which
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 two off-sale liquor establishments.
Public Utilities Fund
This fund accounts for the operations of the City-owned sewer and water systems.

SUPPLEMENTAL SECTION
Independent Auditors Report on Compliance With
Specific Requirements Applicable to Nonmajor Federal
Financial Assistance Program Transactions
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, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
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,Minnesota'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, 1994.
As required by OMB Circular A-128,we have performed auditing procedures to test compliance
with the requirements governing the types of services, and special tests and provisions 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
tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Fridley, Minnesota
had not complied,in all material respects, with those requirements. Also, the results of our
procedures did not disclose any immaterial instances of noncompliance with those requirements.
This report is intended for the information of the City of Fridley, Minnesota and the Federal
Cognizant Audit Agency. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is
not limited. ,, L/

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, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
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, 1994, 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.
— 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. We also performed tests of controls
to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and
procedures that we considered relevant to preventing and detecting irregularities that are material to
the general purpose financial statements, and to preventing misstatements resulting from illegal acts
and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the general purpose
financial statements. Our tests were less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on
internal control structure policy and procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
141
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 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 errors and 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 operations that we consider to
be material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the City of Fridley, Minnesota and the Federal
Cognizant Audit Agency. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report,
which is a matter of public record.

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, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
We conducted our audit 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 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.
In planning and performing our audits for the year ended December 31, 1994, we considered the
internal control structure of the City of Fridley, Minnesota in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements
of the City of Fridley, Minnesota and to report on the internal control structure in accordance with
OMB Circular A-128. 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 internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to our
audit of the general purpose financial statements in a separate report dated June 7, 1995.
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.
145
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: Accounting applications:
Political Activity Receivables
Civil Rights Cash disbursements
— Cash Management
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, 1994, the City of Fridley, Minnesota had no major federal
financial assistance programs and expended 87.76% of its total federal financial assistance under
the Community Development Block Grant 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 considered
relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general
requirements, and requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts
claimed or used for matching that are 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.
Our consideration of the internal control structure policies and procedures used in administering
federal financial assistance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control
structure that might constitute 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 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. We noted no matters
involving the internal control structure and its operations that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above.

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
We have applied procedures to test the City of Fridley, Minnesota's compliance with the following
requirements applicable to its federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the
Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance,for the year ended December 31, 1994. The general
requirements tested were:
_ Political Activity Allowable Costs/Cost Principles
Civil Rights Administrative Requirements
Cash Management
Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management
and Budget's Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments. 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 the requirements listed in the
preceding paragraph. 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 second paragraph of this report. With respect to
items not tested,nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Fridley,
Minnesota had not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. Also, the results of
our procedures did not disclose any immaterial instances of noncompliance with those
requirements.

Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance
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, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Fridley,
Minnesota's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the provisions of
Office of Management and Budget 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.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
general purpose financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of
Federal Financial Assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the general purpose financial statements. The information in that Schedule 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
— financial statements taken as a whole.

Compliance Report Based on an Audit of General
Purpose Financial Statements Performed 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, 1994 and have issued our report thereon dated June 7, 1995.
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.
Compliance with laws,regulations,contracts, and grants applicable to the City of Fridley,
Minnesota, is the responsibility of the City of Fridley,Minnesota's management. As part of
obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of the City of Fridley, Minnesota's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations,contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit
of the general purpose financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance
with such provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Reportable noncompliance findings consist of irregularities and illegal acts that are not clearly
inconsequential and instances of other noncompliance that are material to the financial statements.
Irregularities are intentional misstatements or omissions of amounts or disclosures in financial
statements. Illegal acts are violations of laws and regulations. Instances of other noncompliance
include failures to follow requirements or violations of prohibitions contained in contracts or grant
agreements that cause us to conclude that the aggregation of the misstatements resulting from those
failures or violations is material to the financial statements. The results of our tests of compliance
disclosed no reportable noncompliance findings.
This report is intended solely for the information of the City of Fridley, Minnesota and the Federal
Cognizant Audit Agency. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report,
which is a matter of public record.

SIGNIFICANT MINNESOTA TAX POLICIES —
DECEMBER 31, 1994
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.

The maximum refund is $440.

provides refunds to homestead property owners for part of their tax increase in excess of 12 percent,
if the increase is at least $300. The refund is equal to 75 percent of the increase over 12%. The —
maximum refund is $1,500.
