Mr. William W. Bums, 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, 1995, 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 1994. It is our belief that the accompanying
fiscal year 1995 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 an estimated 1995 population of 28,204.
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.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The Minneapolis-St. Paul area economy has continued to be relatively stable over the last several years.
Unemployment for Anoka County has ranged around 3.5% for the last several years with very little
change. Office and retail space continue to be readily available. The market values for these
properties have begun to recover after several years of decline. 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 1995, the City welcomed a number of new businesses.
Murphy Warehouse completed its storage and delivery facility. In addition, Home Depot, a national
home improvement retail chain, completed negotiations and constructed a 130,000 square foot store
in the southern portion of the City. The store opened for business in the spring of 1996.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
During 1995, the City Council continued its focus on the quality of the housing stock within the City.
The rental housing inspection program that started in 1994 continued. This program is designed to
identify rental housing units in need of repair and verify that the required repairs are made. By the end
of 1995, 25% of the City's 3,900 rental units had been inspected. In addition, the HRA and the City
sponsor several housing programs that include grants, low interest loans and first time mortgages.
During 1995, 53 homeowners received over$2,010,000 of assistance, and over the last three years 140
homeowners have received over $5,764,000 of assistance.

GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
MAJOR INITIATIVES (CONTINUED)
The redevelopment of the Southwest Quadrant, an area bounded by University Avenue and Mississippi
Street, began in 1995 with the HRA acquiring four apartment buildings and a number of businesses.
Rottlund Homes was selected as the developer and will be building a combination of single family
residences and townhomes on this fourteen acre site. Construction is expected to begin in 1996 and
be completed by late 1997 or early 1998.
Since the City's warehouse liquor store was one of the businesses required to relocate as the
Southwest Quadrant project moved forward, the City spent most of 1995 reviewing potential sites for
a new liquor store while the old store was temporarily relocated to the Holly Shopping Center. While
- several potential sites were reviewed, no decision on a future home for the warehouse liquor store was
made in 1995.
Fridley Pride City-Wide, a week long program designed to clean up and beautify the City was held in
September. This program included curbside pickup of appliances, brush, household goods and refuse.
Other items such as scrap metal and tires could be brought to a central drop-off site. All services were
provided to residents free of charge. In addition, volunteer efforts were coordinated to clean up City
parks, repaint houses and help residents prepare for the curbside pick up. The following summarizes
some of the amounts collected during this program:
Refuse - 265 tons Brush and Branches - 30,000 cubic yards
Appliances - 1,032 Usable Furniture - 14,880 pounds
Junk Cars - 15 Used Oil - 2,000 gallons
Tires - 2,089 Scrap metal and asphalt - 77 tons
In addition, businesses were encouraged to participate in this program to be cleaning up and
beautifying their properties. Four businesses received awards for their beatification efforts which
included additional landscaping and exterior maintenance.
During the year, the City of Fridley directed a number of construction projects including building a
bikeway along University Avenue, the resurfacing of a number of tennis courts, upgrading old
playground equipment with newer and safer equipment, the relining of a portion of the City's sanitary
sewer system, regular maintenance and upgrading of the City's wells and liftstations and the annual
street reconstruction and sealcoating programs.
Internally, in order to balance the 1996 budget, four full-time and one part-time employees were laid off
during the fall of 1995. In addition, five warming houses and skating rinks were closed for the 1995-
- 1996 winter season. These cuts, along with other budget reductions, a three percent increase in the
tax levy and the planned use of $395,367 of reserves resulted in a balanced 1996 budget that Council
adopted in December.
We were also honored to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for our 1994 Budget.
This represented the sixth 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
9
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) —
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE (CONTINUED)
to curtail unfunded state mandates. The City will continue to investigate new funding and cost sharing
alternatives as well as reviewing our operations in order to decrease the reliance on intergovernmental
revenues. —
During 1996, the review of potential sites for a new liquor store will continue. It appears that the
operation will continue in the Holly Center site for most of 1996. Relocating the store to a larger more
permanent location will be important if the Liquor operation is to continue contributing to the General
Fund. Failure to relocate could result in additional reliance on property taxes and intergovernmental
revenues or decreases in services.
Implementation of an imaging system, which is scheduled for 1996, will increase the availability data
and the efficiency in which City staff can access it and respond to resident's requests.
Significant projects budgeted for 1996 in the five year capital improvement plan include: studies to
determine the need for a community activity center and out-sourcing vehicle maintenance; selection and
installation of an optical disk imaging system to archive City records; upgrading playground equipment
by replacing the old equipment with new safer and accessible equipment; construction of a fence and
gates on the north side of Springbrook Nature Center to provide a north boundary as well as reduce
vandalism; Street reconstruction including concrete curb and gutter with new asphalt pavement on a
number of City streets; design of well #12 filter system to provide an additional filtered well; rebuild
booster station at 53rd and Johnson Street relining sanitary and storm sewer pipes to decrease inflow
and outflow; and the annual sealcoating, well, reservoir and pump house maintenance programs.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
INTERNAL CONTROLS
—
In developing and improving the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or —
disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires —
estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of the proper
recording of financial transactions.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
A complete budgetary system of accounts is maintained for the General and Special Revenue Funds.
Budgetary control is maintained in compliance with the City Charter Requirements. The Charter
provides that it is the duty of the City Manager to strictly enforce the provisions of the budget. The
management policy of the City is such that the existence of a particular item or appropriation in the
approved budget does not mean that it will or must be automatically expended. It is the policy of the
City to control budgets at the expenditure category level. Budget adjustments between City divisions
are made upon the approval of a resolution by the City Council. The City Charter provides that the City
10
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
BUDGETARY CONTROLS (CONTINUED)
Council shall not have power to increase the total amount of the budget, whether by insertion of new
items or otherwise, beyond the estimated revenue unless the actual revenue exceeds such revenue
estimates, and in that event not beyond such actual revenue. There is a constant review process.
Expenditures are not approved until it has been determined that 1) the expenditure is necessary, 2)
adequate funds have been appropriated, and 3) funds are available.
CASH MANAGEMENT
All temporary cash surpluses during the year are invested in various securities which State statutes
permit. The City's policy is to invest all available monies at competitive interest rates in accordance with
the City's over-all fiscal plan coordinated with operating needs and programs projected over the ensuing
12 month period. Investment yields on investments held during the year ranged from 4.40%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, 1995 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 $19,212,597. Of this outstanding debt,
$1,555,000 represents special assessment debt with government commitment, $11,105,000 represents
— general obligation tax increment refunding bonds, $4,090,000 relates to tax increment issues supported
by revenue from the established tax increment areas, $2,325,000 represents general obligation water,
sewer and storm water revenue bonds, $123,931 represents a construction loan from the State of
Minnesota and $13,666 represents capital lease obligations. During 1995, the 1992 Temporary Tax
Increment Bonds were retired upon maturity by issuing the 1995 Temporary Tax Increment Bonds to
provide the required funds.
The City of Fridley has, since 1982, maintained a credit rating of a Aa1 on its long-term bonds.
NOM 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 poor, and shared according to specific criteria.
TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City Council took action on May 7, 1979 to form the first of twelve tax increment districts. In 1985,
the individual districts were combined into one redevelopment district to more easily manage the overall
activities. All of the districts have been established in economically depressed areas within the City.
With the successful relationship that the City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority have
developed, many benefits have been derived.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS
The following schedule presents a summary of the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Projects and Expendable Trust Funds' revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
The most significant changes in revenues from the prior year were in intergovernmental, interest and
miscellaneous revenue categories. The increase in intergovernmental revenue is due $303,410 in
contributions received from other local units of government for various construction projects
administered by the City of Fridley. This increase is in part offset by minor increases and decreases
in other state and federal aids. The decrease in interest revenue is combination of having to reinvest
at lower rates as investments matured and a change int he City's investment policy that resulted in the
shortening of the maturities to less than five years. Finally, miscellaneous revenue's increase was
caused by an reimbursement from the HRA's insurance carrier for a portion of the costs incurred with
the Southwest Quadrant relocations.
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, 1995.
Percent Increase/ —
Revenues Amount of Total (Decrease)
Taxes and special assessments $6,966,331 46.17% $50,856
Licenses and permits 554,182 3.67% 26,071
Intergovernmental 4,003,592 26.53% 194,764
Charges for services 1,015,048 6.73% (23,815)
Fines and forfeits 183,442 1.22% (1,978)
Interest on investments 1,797,917 11.92% (140,893)
Miscellaneous 568,313 3.77% 296,195
Total $15,088,825 100.00% $401,200
The most significant change is in the general government, debt service and capital outlay categories.
The capital outlay and general government increase are caused by the costs incurred with the
relocation and redevelopment of the Southwest Quadrant area. The general government increase is
also due to the aforementioned City-wide Cleanup Days ($188,221) and an increase in the activity in
the HRA sponsored housing programs ($98,221). The increase in debt service expenditures is caused
the by the maturity of the 1992 Temporary Tax Increment Bonds. The $4,030,000 principal payment
in 1995 resulted in principal payments being $2,225,000 higher than 1994 principal payments.

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
in the Holly Shopping Center. The City owns the store at the Highway 65 location and currently leases
space for the other store. In 1984, the City changed its sales philosophy to the wholesale approach
so that we could remain competitive with the three neighboring communities which use wholesale
pricing. Retained earnings of the Liquor Fund were $1,478,181 on December 31, 1995 as compared
to $1,539,095 at the closing of the last fiscal year. Income before operating transfers decreased from
$156,740 in 1994 to $14,086 in 1995. This decrease is primarily due to costs associated with the
Mississippi Street store to Holly Center and costs associated with evaluating potential new sites for the
store.
Public Utility Fund
This fund accounts for the operation and financing of the City-owned sewer and water systems.
— Included in the assets of the fund is a receivable from the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Service
Division of $97,868 representing the City's share of the equity in the Minneapolis Sewer System which
was acquired by the Metropolitan Council in January 1, 1971. This amount will be paid to the City by
means of issuing credits against future sewer billings. 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, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Those improvements to
the utility system paid for or financed directly by the Public Utility Fund have always been carried in the
Public Utility Fund and depreciated. Retained earnings on December 31, 1995 were $10,111,705
compared to $10,390,651 at the close of the last fiscal year.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Self Insurance Fund was set up to account for all revenues and expenditures associated with the
$50,000 deductible on the general liability policy. Self insuring a larger deductible has reduced the
annual premiums which allow us to directly benefit from our good experience rating. In the future an —
analysis will be made of the feasibility of self insuring all or a portion of other policies. In 1990,
$1,000,000 was transferred from the General Fund to the Self Insurance Fund.
OTHER INFORMATION

_ 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 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, 1995,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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1995
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 ..
co
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 and its 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 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 Note 9 for disclosures relating to the
pension plan operated by this organization.)

DECEMBER 31, 1995
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. 1995
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
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. 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, Uabllltles 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 1995 taxes were adjusted downward
$105,234 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

consistent with the term of years of the related bond issue.
Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County in the
same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to prepay total future
installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
Special assessments receivable includes the following components:
Unremitted - amounts collected by Anoka County and not remitted to the City
prior to year end.
Delinquent - amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
Deferred - assessment installments which will be billed to property owners in
future years.
3) Inventories
Inventory in the General Fund consists of expendable supplies held for consumption
and is recorded at cost on a first in first out basis. The cost is recorded as an
expenditure at the time individual inventory items are used. Reported inventories are
equally offset by a fund balance reserve which indicates that they do not constitute
'available spendable resources' even though they are a component of net current —
assets.
Proprietary Funds inventory items are expensed at the time they are sold or used.
(Consumption method). Liquor inventories are recorded on the average cost basis.
4) Property and Equipment/General Fixed Assets
All fixed assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost, if the original
cost was not available. Donated fixed assets are carried at the fair market value on the
date donated.
Additions to general fixed assets for general City purposes, including public domain
(infrastructure) fixed assets are recorded as expenditures of the applicable fund in the
year in which the fixed asset was purchased or constructed, and are capitalized in the
General Fixed Asset Account Group. Depreciation is not recorded on these assets.
Property and equipment of the proprietary funds are capitalized in these funds.
Depreciation of exhaustible property and equipment of the proprietary funds is charged
as an expense against their operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on

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.

interest Revenue on Special Assessments Receivable- Interest revenue is recognized in the
year of collection of the current principal installment.
Intergovernmental Revenues - Intergovernmental revenues in the form of state aids are —
recorded as revenue when allocations are made by statutory formula. Other intergovernmental
revenues received as reimbursements for specific purposes or projects are recognized based
upon the expenditures incurred. Intergovernmental revenues received through abatements or
shares are recorded in the year determined to be measurable and available.
interest on investments - Interest is recorded as revenue in the year earned.
Water and Sewer Service Charges - Revenue is recognized when earned with no allowance
for uncollectibies as delinquent accounts are certified as a special assessment lien against the
property billed. Unbilled service charges are included in receivables at year-end. —
Other Revenues - Licenses, fines, penalties and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as
revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 9 requires that governments
include a statement of cash flows for proprietary and nonexpendable trust funds to replace the
statement of changes in financial position as a basic financial statement. GASB statement No. —

2. Deposits and Investments
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.
Balances at December 31, 1995 are as follows:
Bank Carrying
Balances Amount
1) Insured or collateralized by securities held
by the City or its agent in the City's name $686,044 ($141,258)

The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes to invest in the following:
(a) Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
(b) Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act
of 1940 and whose only investments are in securities described in (a) above.

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

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, 1995, was $3,599,740 and $1,607,553,
respectively; the City's total payroll was $6,410,816.
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
highest 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. A reduced retirement annuity is also available to
.... eligible members seeking early retirement.
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.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions
and apply to active participants. Vested,terminated employees who are entitled to benefits, but
are not receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated
their public service.

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 July 1, 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. The required contribution rate consists of (a) normal costs
based on entry age normal cost methods, (b) a supplemental contribution for amortizing any
unfunded actuarial accrued liability by the date required for full funding, and (c) an allowance
for administrative expenses. Current combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially
required contribution rates for the plans are as follows:
Statutory Rates: Required
Employees Employer Rates
PERF:
PERF(A blended rate
for both the Basic and
Coordinated plans 4.31% 4.60% 9.76%
PEPFF 7.60% 11.40% 19.00%
Total contributions made by the City during fiscal year 1995 were: ...

PERF $158,153 $170,463 4.39% 4.74%
PEPFF 122,174 183,261 7.60% 11.40%
Total $280,327 $353,724
The City's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1995, to the PERF represented .12 percent
of total contributions required of all participating entities. For the PEPFF, contributions for the
year ended June 30, 1995, represented .60 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 is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and 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. The
measure is independent of the actuarial funding method used to determine required
contributions, which is discussed in Section B. PERA does not make separate
measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers.

The pension benefit obligation was determined as part of an actuarial valuation at July
1, 1995.
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 an age related table which incorporates a 5 percent base inflation
assumption; (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

2. Changes in Benefit Provisions —
Since the July 1, 1994 actuarial valuation, there were no changes in actuarial
assumptions of the PER and the PEPFF which impacted funding costs.
3. Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
—
Potential changes in the actuarial assumptions used for the pepff may be made in the
future. Results of an experience study for the fund during the four-year period ending
June 30, 1994. disclosed (a) retirees are living longer; (b) the expected active member
death rate is declining; (c) the trend toward earlier retirement continues; and (d) the
pattern of salary increases varies substantially by ages, with a strong merit and seniority
component evident at the younger ages. Based on these results, PERA will soon
consider revising the actuarial assumptions for retirement age, mortality, payroll growth, _
and individual salary increases. These changes, if adopted within fiscal year 1996, will
significantly impact the July 1, 1996 actuarial valuation of the PEPFF.
D. Ten-Year Historical Trend information

Medicare. The cost of Social Security for 1995 was $250,490. 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 1995 cost for Medicare was $71,886. ...

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 Adiustment (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, 1995. 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.

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 December 31, 1995,
were $47,345 and $31,563 respectively. The contributions represented 11.40% and 7.60% of
covered payroll. The City contributions for the year ended December 31, 1995 represented
.37% 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, 1995, are$5,440,158 and$13,287 for the City and HRA
respectively; and are shown in the financial statements as 'Other assets' in the agency funds with a
corresponding credit to 'Deposits payable'.

18. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During 1987, the City established
the Self Insurance Fund (an Internal Service Fund)to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss. —
The Self Insurance Fund provides coverage for up to a maximum of $50,000 for each liability and
property claim with an annual aggregate of $100,000 for all claims. The city purchases insurance
through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust for claims in excess of coverage provided by
the fund and for all other risks of loss.
The City's workers compensation insurance policy is retrospectively rated. With this type of policy,final
premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if any,
is not reasonable estimable and is not recorded until received or paid.
In 1990, the General Fund contributed $1,000,000 to the Self Insurance Fund in lieu of the Self
Insurance Fund charging losses back to each fund.
There is no claims liability reported at December 31, 1995, since the requirements of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 10 have not been met. This Statement requires that
a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates
that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the
amount can be reasonably estimated.
As of December 31, 1995,the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of$1,750,621 ...,
to cover future claims and losses.
19. Leases
Operating Lease
The City leased property at 214 Mississippi from the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority for -,
a warehouse liquor store. On August 1, 1995, the Housing Redevelopment Authority exercised its
authority to terminate the lease. The City subsequently relocated its warehouse liquor store to Holly
Shopping Center by entering into a lease with the management of the center. The Lease terminates
February 29, 1996.
Total rental expense for 1995 was $36,850.
Capital Lease
The City has entered into a lease agreement as lessee for financing the acquisition of a sidewalk
snowplow. This lease agreement qualifies as a capital lease, and therefore,the sidewalk plow has been
recorded as machinery and equipment in the General Fixed Asset Account Group at the present value
of future minimum lease payments.
The future minimum lease obligation and net present value of these minimum lease payments as of
December 31, 1995 are as follows:

22. Contingent Uability
In 1993, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) entered into a limited tax increment revenue
note with a developer whereby the HRA shall pay the developer the lesser of the scheduled payment
or available tax increment. Whether a payment will occur and if so, the amount of the payment are
uncertain since all payments are dependent on the HRA receiving tax increments from the developer's
project. As such, this liability has not been recorded in the financial statements.
At December 31, 1995, the maximum possible payment to the developer was $1,478,207.

23. Prior Period Adjustment
In 1994, the City incorrectly recorded the amount payable to its health insurance provider. To correct
this error, the January 1, 1995 General Fund fund balance has been corrected. The effect of this
correction is to reduce the General Fund fund balance by$22,462 from the previously reported amount
of $7,134,694 to $7,112,132.
General Fund accounts payable for 1994 were increased by $22,562 due to this correction.
24. Subsequent Event
On February 1, 1996, the City and the management of Holly Shopping Center agreed to extend the
lease on the liquor store space through February 1, 1997. All terms remained the same except for the
monthly rent which was reduced from $4,850 to $3,850.

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

improvements and the acquisition of assets that require a large capital outlay.
Special Assessment Fund
This fund is used to account for the construction of public improvements, such as residential streets,
sidewalks, and storm sewers or for the provision of services which are to be paid for primarily by the
benefited property owner.

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

SIGNIFICANT MINNESOTA TAX POLICIES
DECEMBER 31. 1995
GENERAL
—
All non-exempt property in Minnesota is subject to taxation by local taxing districts. The tax levied on
a property is determined by computing its tax capacity, which is the property's market value multiplied
by the appropriate class rate. The taxes on a property are computed by multiplying the tax rate by the —
property's tax capacity. The tax rate is determined by the County Auditor, dividing each tax levy by
the taxing jurisdiction's adjusted net tax capacity.
—
Properties are physically reviewed by assessors at least once every four years.
The assessors market value is multiplied by the appropriate class rates to arrive at the adjusted net tax
capacity (taxable value). The class rates vary by class of property. —
Type of Property 1995
Class Rates
Residential Homestead
First $72,000 1.00% —
Over $72,000 2.00
Commercial/Industrial
First $100,000 3.00
Over $100,000 4.60
—
Rentals
Apartments: 4+ units 3.40
Less than 4 units 2.30
Title II, MFHA, Sect. 8 2.30
—
Property Tax Refund. Residential property tax credits are indexed by the percentage of net property
tax to household income to the extent a homeowners property tax exceeds a percentage of household
income. This percentage ranges from 1.2%for incomes below$1,000 up to 4%for incomes of$61,930.
The maximum refund is $440. —
In 1989 the Minnesota Legislature also enacted a targeting property tax credit program. This program
provides refunds to homestead property owners for part of their tax increase in excess of 12 percent, —
f the increase is at least $100. The refund is equal to 75 percent of the increase over 12%. The
maximum refund is $1,500.
—
Property Tax Deferred. In 1993, the Minnesota legislature enacted a law commonly known as 'This
Old House' which exempts from the property tax all or a portion of the value of improvements made
to homes 35 years of age or older. Homestead property owners could exclude the property tax on
those improvements for 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the value of the improvements is added to
the market value of the home in equal installments every five years. There are limits to the dollar
amount eligible for the tax exclusion: $25,000 on homes 35 to 69 years old;and $50,000 on homes 70
years or older. Only improvements adding$1,000 or more of market value are eligible. This is effective —
for improvements made through January 2, 2003.
