To the Citizens ofthe Cityof Fridley,
Mayor and Council Members
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report oftheCity ofFridley, Minnesota, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, is submitted herewith:
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe that
the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects, that it is presented in a manner
designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City as
measured by the financial activity of its various funds, and that all disclosures necessary
to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City’s financial activity
have been included.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that management provide a narrative
introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the
form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is
designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City
of Fridley’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent
auditors.
All City funds, departments, commissions and other organizations for which the City of
Fridley is financially accountable are presented within the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report. The City provides a full range of services to its citizens. These services
include, but are not limited to, police and fire protection; water and sanitary sewer
utilities; the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure; recreational
facilities; and general administrative services. The Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) is included in the reportingentity as a component unit of the City,
because the governing board is appointed by the City Council, and because of the City’s
relationship of financial benefit or burden with the authority.
The organization, form and contents of this report were prepared inaccordance with the
standards prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA), the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor, and the City Charter.
PROFILE OF THE CITY
The City of Fridley is a first ring suburban community with an estimated 2016 population
of 29,142. The City is located 10 minutes north of downtown Minneapolis and 25
minutes northwest of downtown St. Paul. Incorporated in July of 1949, Fridley covers 10
square miles of area and is now home to some of the most important industries in the
Midwest, nation, and the world. An industrial spine around the rail corridor has served
the City well and has provided the city with nearly as many jobs as the number of citizens
who reside in the community. Fridley is home to the largest number of employees in
Anoka County.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The local economy is showing signs of steady improvement over the past year. New
construction and renovation continues to gain traction as activity has steadily increased
over the past few years, unemployment numbers have improved, and property values
appear to have bottomed out and have rebounded with increases over the past several
years.
New construction continued to remain solid in Fridley in 2016. Total Construction was
valued at approximately 73.6 million for 2016. This is $13 Million more than
experienced in 2015. There were many significant projects during 2016, which included
Building II in the Cielo Multi-Family Development valued at $15,332,538. In the
Northern Stacks Development two additional buildings were added with a combined
value of 13,636,491. Northern Stacks also had an interior permit issued with a value of
$1,005,000. A hotel was added to the City's compliment of businesses valued at
$5,120,000. As we have always said, development begets development and we are seeing
many more projects over the horizon. A third Cielo Building and over 750 units of
Market Rate and Mixed income Multi-Family units are being planned and will likely
break ground in 2017.
The estimated market value for all properties in Fridley increased 8% from January 1,
2016 to January 1, 2017. This increase in valuation is consistent with other municipalities
in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
We are a mature City and as such, we are continually met with financial and
redevelopment challenges. It is highly important to protect the property values of our
aging housing stock for our homeowners in addition to maintaining the tax base of the
City. Our property maintenance code enforcement helps to improve the quality of both
residents and businesses of the City. The City is working on a 2040 financial
management plan that emphasizes low tax rates, infrastructure investment and a good
standing within our financial community.
The City continues to focus on quality of life improvements throughout Fridley. These
initiatives include revitalizing our parks andpublic areas, maintaining and improving
current City services and increasing the communication between City representatives and
the public.
The City is working closely with state government, federal government and
neighboringcommunities to improve the area’s state and county transportation
network, which includes upgraded highways and local roads. Funding for
these transportation improvementscomelargelyfromstate,countyand
federalsources with additional funding from assessments to citizens properties.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
For the Year
2016continuedwithitsfastpace of ity initiated projects alongwithpartnering
withdeveloperstobringsubstantialredevelopmentprojectstofruition.Current
projects include:
The Street Programcontinued the on-goingefforts of reconstructing city streets along
with select utilitiesin the project area. The 2016 Street Programincludedvarious
street sections in thePlymouth neighborhood in addition to thecompletion of the
2015 street programintheSummit Manorneighborhood. These projects provided a
$3 million investment in the City’s streets and utilities.
Ground broke in the fall of 2015 on anew interpretivecenter at the Springbrook
Nature Center. Work was completed withthefacility and it opened in the springof
2016. The buildingcostwas approximately$5.4 millionand was fundedentirely
through a grantand donations. Work will continue into2017 on phase II ofthis
projectwhich includes an outdoor playarea, amphitheater and landscaping.
The City enteredits sixth year ofaten year campaign toreplace the City’s
approximately 7,500manual read watermeters with automatic meter reading(AMR)
water meters. Public Works staff is undertaking the change-outin house, which saves
on contractual costs. The City is using bond proceeds to accelerate the project and
plans on having the majority of AMR’s installed by the end of 2018.
TheHRAcontinued work on a number of redevelopment projects in 2016. Phase 2of
theCieloapartmentredevelopment project began the summer of 2016. The
apartments are filling quickly with renters. This project will eventually contain 254
apartment units in 3 separate buildings. A new TIF district #23 was also created and
namedLocke Point Park. Thisis private development tooccur adjacenttothe new
Civic Campus. Phase III of Northern Stacks beganin the fall of2016 and is expected
to be complete in spring of 2017.
5.In 2016, the City council selected the location of a new civic campus and authorized
architectural work to begin. This campus will include City Hall, Police, Fire and Public
Works all on one campus. Construction will be in full swing beginning in the spring of
2017 and is scheduled for completion late 2018. The cost to date for this project is
approximately $1.3 million. This project will be funded through $49.1 million in general
obligation capital improvement plan bonds.
For the Future
As Fridley becomes a fully developed community with a stable population, the ability to
maintain, improve, or expand the types of services provided to our residents continues to
evolve and present new challenges. The 2017 budget reflects the changes necessitated by
the City’s maturity, current and future fiscal restraints, and it attempts to respond to
market pressure and citizen-driven requests through certain innovative but fiscally sound
public service policies. The City is unique in that it has a charter levy limitation which
restricts the increase of the operational levy by the percent change in the Consumer Price
Index. That restriction resulted in no change to the 2017 operational levy over the prior
year.
With no change in the operational levy from the prior year the City continued to look at
new opportunities for cost reductions and efficiencies. The 2017 General Fund budget
does not include any major new initiatives or services. One such example of cost savings
in the 2017 budget was in deferment of equipment. The City has taken a strategic
approach to the planning and acquisition of equipment. Issuing debt in the form of capital
equipment certificates has been eliminated from the current Capital Investment Plan
(CIP) but we continue to re-evaluate replacement of equipment where extending the
useful life could be achieved through renovation or reuse.
Another opportunity for efficiencies has been in the Police Department as they continue
their restructuring which began in 2015. With several more retirements in top level
positions occurring in 2017, the Police Department will be eliminating one non-sworn
position and adding an additional lieutenant position. This restructuring takes advantage
of natural attrition and allows the Department to better respond to the public safety needs
of the community.
The 2017 General Fund budget also includes the restructuring of a part-time position to
full-time in the Planning division of Community Development. This position had been
reduced to part-time several years ago but is needed to keep up with the demands on
services. The Finance Department eliminated a position which helped offset the
additional staffing.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
Indeveloping 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 recordingoffinancial transactions.
Budgets for the General, Special Revenue and Capital Improvement Capital Projects
Funds are adopted on an annual basis. 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
budgetdoes not mean that it will or must be automatically expended.
Budget adjustments between Citydivisions are made upon the approval of a resolution
bythe City Council. The City Charter provides that the City Council shall not have
powerto increase the total amount of the budget, whetherby 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
isnecessary, 2) adequate funds have been appropriated, and 3) funds are available.
Asrequired by the City Charter, budgetary control is maintained within each
departmentatthe department level. This is the level of control at which expenditures
may not legally exceed appropriations.
The purpose of the fund balance policy is to establish appropriate fund balance levels for
each fund that is primarily supported by property tax revenues or user fees. These
policies will ensure that adequate resources are available to meet cash flow needs
forcarrying out the regular operations of the City. The funds addressed in this policy
includethe General Fund, Solid Waste Abatement Fund, Springbrook Nature Center
Fund and EnterpriseFunds. In 2016, all the funds addressed by this policy, with the
exception of the Sewer and Liquor Enterprise Funds, met the fund balance guidelines.
The Utility EnterpriseFunds have implemented multi-year plans to ensure long-term
sustainability.The Sewer Enterprise Funds is expected to meet minimum fund
balance requirements
within the next couple years. The Liquor Fund has recently gone through an extensive
revitalization to improve long-term viability. This fund is expected to meet the minimum
fund balance requirements in 2017 and moving forward.
The purpose of the investment policy is to develop an overall program for cash
investments, designed and managed with a highdegree of professionalism, worthy of the
public trust; to establish that elected and appointed officials and employees are custodians
of a portfolio which shall be subject to public review; to establish cash investment
objectives, delegation of authority, standards of prudence, internal controls, authorized
investments, selection process for investments, and broker representations.
The investment policy outlines the investing philosophy and practices of the City of
Fridley and the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and has been developed
to serve as a reference point for the management of City assets. It is the policy of the
City to invest public funds in a manner whichwill provide for safety, liquidity, and yield
in that order of importance. Investments will conform to all federal, state and local
regulations governing the investment of public funds.
Section 7.13 of the City Charter requires an annual audit to be made of the books of
account, financial records and transactions of all administrative departments of the City
by a certified public accountant or the State Auditor’s Office of the State of Minnesota.
The accounting firm of Redpath and Company was engaged by the City to render an
opinion on the City’s financial statements. The auditor’s report on the basic financial
statements and combining and individual fund statements and schedules is included in the
Financial Section of this report.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United Statesand Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City
of Fridley for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended
December31, 2015. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government
must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial
report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program’s requirements and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its
eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not have been accomplished
without the efficient and dedicated services of all members of the Finance Department,
with special recognition to Korrie Johnson, Carol Meyer, Greg Tirevold and to our
auditors Redpath and Company for their professional guidance. I would also like to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Fridley, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December
31, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely
presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Fridley, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2016, and the respective changes in financial
position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the City of Fridley, Minnesota’s 2015 financial statements, and we
expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the respective financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information in our report dated June 1, 2016. In our opinion, the
summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31,
2015 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has
been derived.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
, the budgetary comparison information, the schedules of
management’s discussion and analysis
pension contributions, and the schedules of proportionate share of pension liability, as listed in
the table of contents,
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide
us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Fridley, Minnesota’s basic financial statements. The introductory
section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by
Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 9,
2017, on our consideration of the City of Fridley, Minnesota’s internal control over financial
reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,
and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and
not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report
is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the City of Fridley, Minnesota’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
’
Government-wide financial statements
. The government-wide financial
statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of
Fridley’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Fridley’s

whether the financial position of the City of Fridley is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position
changed during the most recent fiscal year.All changes in net position are reported
as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods
(e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of
Fridley that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type
activities). The governmental activities of the City of Fridley include general
government, public safety, public works, community development, and recreation
and naturalist. The business-type activities of the City of Fridley include liquor,
water, sewer and storm water.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 37 through 39 of
this report.
Fund financial statements
. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to
maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or
objectives. The City of Fridley, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the City of Fridley can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds
. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the
same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a
government’s near-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-
wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for
Managements Discussion and Analysis
’
governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statement. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the City's near term financial decisions. Both the
governmental fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and change in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Fridley maintains three individual major governmental funds. Information
is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances for the general fund, debt service fund and street improvement capital
projects fund, all of which are considered to be major funds.
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds
is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Fridley adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, the
Cable TV, Solid Waste Abatement, Grant Management, Springbrook Nature Center,
and Police Activity special revenue funds.
A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for those funds to
demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 40
through 45 of this report.
Proprietary funds
. The City of Fridley maintains four enterprise funds and two
internal service funds as a part of its proprietary fund type. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City of Fridley uses enterprise funds to
account for its liquor, water, sewer, and storm water operations. The City of Fridley
uses internal service funds to account for its employee benefits and self-insurance.
Because these services predominately benefit governmental rather than business-
type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide
financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements
provide separate information for the water, sewer, storm water and liquor operations,
all of which are considered to be major funds of the City of Fridley. Conversely, the
internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the
proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Managements Discussion and Analysis
’
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 46 through
51 of this report.
Fiduciary funds
. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the
benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the
government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not
available to support the City of Fridley’s own program. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund
financial statement can be found on page 52 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements
. The notes provide additional information that is
essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government–wide and
fund financial statements.The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 53 through 96 of this report.
Other information.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with
the non-major governmental funds are presented immediately following the required
supplementary information on budgetary comparisons. Combining and individual
fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 112 through 149 of this
report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a
government's financial position. In the case of the City of Fridley, assets exceeded
liabilities by $62,794,247 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
A significant portion of the City of Fridley's net position ($37,846,020 or 60.27
percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and
equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. The City of Fridley uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the City of Fridley’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it
should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from
other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.

The City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting
and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27.
Essentially, the standard required the unfunded portion of defined benefit pension
plans to be reported by all participating employers. Recording the net pension
liability and the pension related deferred outflows and inflows of resources do not
change the City’s future funding requirements or obligations under the plans, which
are determined by Minnesota statutes.
Net position was negatively impacted by $12,046,279 at December 31, 2016 due to
the assumption changes and investment earnings projections from the Public
Employees Retirement Association’s own actuarial study. Pension-related amounts
included in the above schedule related to the standard are as follows:
Deferred outflows of resources$15,318,307
Deferred inflows of resources(2,845,576)
Noncurrent liabilities(24,519,010)
Total($12,046,279)
A portion of the of the City of Fridley’s net position represents resources that are
subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of
$22,743,244 in unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Fridley is able to report positive
balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole,
as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

$438,226 and property taxes increased $427,230 largely from two bonds. Public
Safety expenditures increased by $2,264,508 primarily due to the new GASB 68

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental funds
. The focus of the City of Fridley’s governmental funds is to
provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable
resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Fridley’s financing
requirements. In particular, unrestricted fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Fridley’s governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $24,170,342.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $227,486 in 2016. This was much
better than the decrease of $695,500 anticipated with the 2016 revised budget.
Building permit and plan review revenue increased as construction continued at a
fast pace in 2016, exceeding budget estimates. Personal services expenditures also
were below budget due to some vacancies in police, engineering and finance.
The Debt Service Fund decreased $133,304 in 2016. The excess of revenues over
expenditures was not enough to cover the monthly operating transfers.
The Street Improvements Fund has an assigned fund balance of $2,796,801 and is
identified as a major fund. The fund balance has increased $259,613 in 2016 due to
a transfer in from closing out the streets fund.
The Park Improvements Fund has an assigned fund balance of $1,470,300 and is
identified as a major fund. The fund balance in this fund decreased $210,660 in
2016 due to project costs for the Springbrook Nature Center.
Non-major special revenue funds increased by $55,106 in 2016. This was due to
less expenditures in 2016.
Non-major capital project funds decreased by $719,494 in 2016. This was partially
due to a movement of LGA from the Capital Equipment Fund to the General Fund, in
addition to activity beginning at the new Civic Campus.
Proprietary funds
. The City of Fridley’s proprietary funds provide the same type of
information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The unrestricted net position in the respective proprietary funds are liquor $406,170,
water $3,500,396, sewer $3,130,609 and storm water $2,657,749. The liquor,
water, sewer and storm water funds had an increase in net position of $93,299,
$339,221, $349,072 and $513,305, respectively.

Budgetary Highlights
General Fund
The original revenue and expenditure budgets were amended ($568,400) primarily
to account for a transfer out of $900K to other funds. This budget amendment was
partially offset by budget amendments to increase building permit revenue and
decrease personal services due to staff vacancies.
Operating expenditures in total were less than the final budgetary estimates by
$688,720. The City Manager department was under budget by $30,580 due to a
reduction in legal and professional services. The Finance department was under
budget by $71,605 primarily due to mid-year vacancies. Non-departmental was
under budget by $52,023 as salary adjustments were less than projected. Public
safety was under budget by $ 92,696 due to vacancies in Community Service Officer
staffing. Public works was under budget by $189,518 primarily due to a reduction in
supplies and contractual services. Community development did not need outside
consulting services and as a result was under budget by $47,832. Parks and
recreation required less program staffing which provided a savings of $46,470 in
temporary salary expenditures. A contingency for emergencies was budgeted in the
amount of $120,000 for which no expenditures were incurred during 2016.
Total revenues were more than the final budgetary estimates by $234,266. Licenses
and permits were over budget by $72,654 due to new construction and re-
development. Intergovernmental revenues were over budget by $39,932 due to
receiving more fire state aid than was anticipated. Charges for services were over
budget by $38,575 due to an increase in Police security services. Investment
income exceeded budget estimates by $54,972 due to an increase in the market
value of investments at year-end offsetting a large market value loss recorded at the
end of 2015. Total miscellaneous revenues were over budget by $62,185 due to an
insurance reimbursement.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets
. The City of Fridley’s, investment in capital assets for its
governmental and business type activities as of December 31, 2016, amounts to

State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a Minnesota city may issue
to 3% of total Estimated Market Value. The current debt limitation for the City of
Fridley is $61,464,679. Only $1,130,000 of the City’s outstanding debt is counted
within the statutory limitation because all other debt is either wholly or partially repaid
by revenues other than general property tax levies.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For The Year Ended December 31, 2016
With comparative amounts for the year ended December 31, 2015
20162015
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities (Exhibit A-2) are different because:
Net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds (Exhibit A-4)($521,253)($185,833)
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,
in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated
over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded
depreciation in the current period.5,890,7431,435,484
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.318,636(328,914)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the
principal of financial long-term debt consumes the current
financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction,
however, has any effect on net position. This amount is the net
effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and
related items.1,230,0001,190,000
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of
certain activities to individual funds. This amount is net expenditures
attributable to governmental activities.(2,682,882)(302,249)
Other post employment benefits in the statement of activities does not
require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, is not
reported as expenditures in governmental funds.(37,012)(40,526)
Accrued interest reported in the statement of activities does not require
the use of current financial resources and, therefore, is not
reported as expenditures in governmental funds.17,43716,292

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Fridley, Minnesota 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 financial statements of the City of Fridley, Minnesota have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the
reporting entity include those of the City of Fridley, Minnesota (the primary government) and its
component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting
entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
Component Units
In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the
component units have been included in the financial reporting entity as discretely presented
component units.
Discretely Presented Component Unit - The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) is governed by commissioners appointed by the Fridley City Council. The HRA is
responsible for providing housing and redevelopment assistance to the City and its residents.
Funding for the various programs administered by the HRA is provided through the issuance of
tax increment revenue bonds and general obligation tax increment bonds guaranteed by the
City. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the HRA.
B.Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement
of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and
its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from
these statements.Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or business-type activity is offset by program revenues.Direct expenses are those that
are clearly identifiable with a specific function or business-type activity.Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or business-type activity and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or business-type activity. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues
are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as
revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as
revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the government considers all revenues, except reimbursement
grants, to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are collected within one year of the end of
the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related
to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and
interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual
and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to
accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
TheDebt Service Fund services debt on the general obligation improvement bonds that were
issued to finance construction of public improvements. Special assessment improvements
are paid for completely or in part by property owners deemed to have benefited from such
improvements.
TheStreet Improvements Fund is used to account for repairs and replacements of city
streets and street related equipment such as signs and street lights.
ThePark Improvements Fund is used to account for repairs and replacements of city park
equipment or park related improvements.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
TheLiquor Fund accounts for operations of the municipal liquor stores.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
TheWater Fund accounts for the water service charges which are used to finance the water
system operating expenses.
TheSewer Fund accounts for the sewer service charges which are used to finance the
sanitary sewer system operating expenses.
TheStorm Water Fund accounts for storm sewer charges which are used to finance the
storm sewer operating expenses.
Additionally, the government reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds are used to account for employee fringe benefits, pension benefits,
and insurance deductibles that are provided on a cost reimbursement or fee basis to
departments or agencies within the City. These funds are essential for segregating costs for
determining the total cost of providing a service and for assuring that the goods and services
provided are properly utilized.
Agency Funds are used to account for monies on behalf of the North Metro Convention and
Tourism Bureau and various senior citizen organization.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as
revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved external organizations, such as buying
goods and services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other
funds of the City of Fridley. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as
general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all
taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operatingrevenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the liquor, water, sewer and storm water enterprise funds are
charges to customers for sales and services.Operating expenses for enterprise funds include
the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for an allowable use, it is the
government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.
D. Budgets
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
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
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. Budgets
for the General, Special Revenue and Capital Improvement Capital Projects Funds are adopted
on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year end.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for
the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the appropriation, is
not employed by the City because it is, at present, not considered necessary to assure effective
budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash management.
E. Legal Compliance Budgets
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal
year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes expenditures
and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution.
4. The City Council may authorize transfer of budgeted amounts between departments within
any fund.
5. Reported budget amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by Council approved
transfers. The City Charter limits appropriations to the total estimated revenues and fund
balances. If actual revenues exceed the original estimates, appropriations may be
increased by the Council up to the amount of revenue increases.
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 and for the following Special
Revenue Funds: Cable TV Fund, Grant Management Fund, Solid Waste Abatement Fund,
Springbrook Nature Fund, and the Police Activity Fund. 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.
8. As required by the City Charter, budgetary control is maintained within department at the
departmental level. This is the level of control at which expenditures may not legally
exceed appropriations.
9. 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.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
There was one Special Revenue Fund (Police Activity Fund) whose expenditures
exceeded budgeted appropriations in 2016 by $84,668.
F. Cash and Investments
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in certificates of
deposit, U.S. government securities and other securities authorized by State Statute. Investment
income is allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation
by each fund. Investments are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices as of the
balance sheet date. Investment income is accrued at the balance sheet date.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of
an advance from another fund shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an
interfund payable in the fund with the deficit, until adequate resources are received. These
interfund balances are eliminated on the government-wide financial statements.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows the City considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All of the cash and
investments allocated to the proprietary funds have original maturities of 90 days or less.
Therefore the entire balance in the Proprietary Funds is considered cash equivalents.
Restricted cash balances relate to unspent bond proceeds.
Investments are stated at fair value, except for investments in external investment pools that
meet GASB 79 requirements, which are stated at amortized cost. Investment income is accrued
at the balance sheet date.
G. Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund
receivables/payables.” All short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31, 2016
are planned to be eliminated in 2016. Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial
statements as “internal balances.”
Uncollectible property taxes and special assessments are not material and therefore have not
been reported. Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible
amounts are established. Uncollectible amounts are not material for other receivables and have
not been reported.
H. Property Tax Revenue Recognition
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December
(levy/assessment date) of each year for collection in the following year. The County is
responsible for billing and collecting all property taxes for itself, the City, the local School District
and other taxing authorities. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as
receivables by the City at that date. Real property taxes are payable (by property owners) on
May 15 and October 15 of each calendar year. Personal property taxes are payable by
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
taxpayers on February 28 and June 30 of each year. These taxes are collected by the County
and remitted to the City on or before July 7 and December 2 of the same year. Delinquent
collections for November and December are received the following January. The City has no
ability to enforce payment of property taxes by property owners. The County possesses this
authority.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied.
Uncollectible property taxes are not material and have not been reported.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the current period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes and State
credits received by the City in July, December and January are recognized as revenue for the
current year. Taxes collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following
January) and taxes and credits not received at year end are classified as delinquent and due
from County taxes receivable. The portion of delinquent taxes not collected by the City in
January is fully offset by deferred inflows of resources because they are not available to finance
current expenditures.
I. Special Assessment Revenue Recognition
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 is handled by the County in the same
manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to prepay future installments without
interest or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon
that property until full payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City
Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is
subject to tax forfeit sale. Proceeds of sales from tax forfeit properties are remitted to the City in
payment of delinquent special assessments. Pursuant to State Statutes, a property shall be
subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal
recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale after five years.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the assessment roll was
adopted by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not
been reported.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City when it becomes measurable and
available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In practice, current and delinquent
special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current year.
Special assessments that are collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the
following January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining delinquent,
deferred and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are completely
offset by deferred inflows of resources.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

J. Inventories
Governmental Funds
Inventories of the general fund are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. The primary government does not maintain material amounts of
inventory within the other governmental funds. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded
as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Proprietary Funds
Liquor fund inventories are valued on the average cost basis. Other proprietary funds inventory
items are expensed at the time they are sold or used (consumption method).
K. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items
are reported using the consumption method and recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time
of consumption.
L. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), and intangible assets such as easements are reported in
the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual
cost of more than $5,000 (with the exception of computer equipment) (amount not rounded) and
an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by
governmental activities) the government chose to include all such items regardless of their
acquisition date or amount. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial
reporting of these assets through back-trending (i.e. estimating the current replacement cost of
the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost
of the infrastructure to be capitalized to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition year).
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. For the year ended December
31, 2016, no interest was capitalized in connection with construction in progress.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, and the component units, are
depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets
Improvements other than building 20 – 25 years
Buildings and structures 20 – 25 years
Machinery and equipment 5 – 10 years
Infrastructure 25 years
M. 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.
N. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
net assets. Bond premiums and discounts are generally immaterial and are expensed in the year
of bond issuance. Material premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of
the bonds.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
O. Fund Balance Classifications
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that
disclose constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as
follows:
Nonspendable- consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items.
Restricted - consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by
creditors, grantors or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are established by
Resolution of the City Council.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
Assigned- consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints reflect the specific
purpose for which it is the City’s intended use. Pursuant to City Council Resolution, the City
Manager and/or the Finance Director are authorized to establish assignments of fund
balance.
Unassigned - is the residual classification for the general fund and also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first
use restricted resources, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
When committed, assigned or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to
use resources in the following order: 1) committed 2) assigned and 3) unassigned.
P. Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made
from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the
reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
Interfund loans are reported as an interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the
movement of cash between funds. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
R. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section
for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows
of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so
willnot be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The
government has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the pension related
deferred outflows of resources reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and
the proprietary funds Statement of Net Position.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s)
and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The
government has pension related deferred inflows of resources reported in the government-wide
Statement of Net Position and the proprietary funds Statement of Net Position. The City also has
a type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for
reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental fund balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from the
following sources: property taxes and special assessments.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Pensions. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of
resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public
Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary
net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA except that
PERA’s fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of
employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and
payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
T. Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
1. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet and the
government-wide statement of net position
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance – total
governmental funds and net position – governmental activities as reported in the
government-wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that
“long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period
and therefore are not reported in the funds”. The details of this ($3,817,566) difference are
as follows:
Bonds payable($3,110,000)

2. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances and the government-wide statement of activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances
includes reconciliation between net changes in fund balances – total governmental funds and
changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that “governmental funds
report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of
those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense”. The details of this $5,090,743 difference are as follows:
Net book value of capital asset disposals($32,668)
Capital outlay8,618,369
Capital outlay not capitalized(519,262)

Another element of that reconciliation states that “revenues on the statement of activities that
do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds”. The
details of this $318,636 difference are as follows:
Unavailable revenue - general property taxes:
At December 31, 2015($163,153)
At December 31, 2016141,879

Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds,
leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of
the principal on long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds”. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. The details of this
$1,230,000 difference are as follows:
Principal repayments:
G.O. Improvement bonds$1,230,000
T. Restricted Assets
There were no restricted cash balances at December 31, 2016.
U. Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent
with the current year’s presentation.
V. Comparative Totals
The basic financial statements, required supplementary information, combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules, and supplementary financial information include certain
prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not at the level of detail required for a
presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such
information should be read in conjunction with the City’s financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2015, from which the summarized information was derived.

The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure the fair value of the asset. The hierarchy has three levels. Level 1 investments are valued
using inputs that are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2
investments are valued using inputs that are based on quoted prices for similar assets or inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 investments are valued using inputs that are
unobservable.

maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) per share of $1. The pool measures their investments in
accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79, at amortized cost. The
PFM Fund has no redemption requirements.
C. Investment Risks
Custodial credit risk – investments – For investments in securities, custodial credit risk is the risk
that in the event of failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover
the value of its investment securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Investments
in investment pools and money markets are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or
book entry form, and therefore are not subject to custodial credit risk disclosures. The City policy
is to limit its exposure by holding investments in securities with a major bank’s corporate trust
department. Investments are delivered to the City’s trust account and then payment is released
to the broker-dealer.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments
could adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The City’s investment policy requires the
City to diversify its investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over
concentration of assets in a specific maturity. The policy also states the City’s investment
portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which
might be reasonably anticipated.
Credit Risk– Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will be
unable to fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. State law limits investments to
commercial paper to those rated in the highest quality category by at least two nationally
recognized rating agencies; in any security of the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities
which is rated “A” or better by a national bond rating service for general obligation and rated “AA”
or better for a revenue obligation; a general obligation of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency
to those rated “A” or better by a national bond rating agency; mutual funds or money market
funds whose investments are restricted to securities described in MS 118A.04. The City’s
investment policy does not place further restrictions on investment options.
Concentration of credit risk (City) – Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be
attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The City places no
limit on the amount the City may invest in any one issuer. Investments in a single issuer
exceeding 5% of the City’s overall investment portfolio are in various holdings as follows:
Federal Home Loan Bank8.95%
Federal National Mortgage Association16.39%
Local government bonds20.50%
Concentration of credit risk (HRA) – Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be
attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The HRA places no
limit on the amount the HRA may invest in any one issuer. Investments in a single issuer
exceeding 5% of the HRA’s overall investment portfolio are in various holdings as follows:
Federal Home Loan Bank6.54%

7. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
A. Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension
plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA).
PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are established and administered in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are tax
qualified plans under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
1. General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF)
All full-time (with the exception of employees covered by PEPFF) and certain part-time
employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF).
GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan
members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. The Basic Plan
was closed to new members in 1967. All new members must participate in the Coordinated
Plan.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
2. Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF)
The PEPFF, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local
relief association, now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective
July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers and firefighters belonging to a local relief
association that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by
state statute and can only be modified by the state legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the
funding ratio of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90 percent funded for two
consecutive years are given 2.5% increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90%
funded, or have fallen below 80%, are given 1% increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions
and apply to active plan 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.
1. GERF Benefits
Benefits are based on a 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 PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual
formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is
2.2% of average salary for each of the first ten years of service and 2.7% for each remaining
year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for
each of the first ten years and 1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity
accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated
Plan members for each year of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full
annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65.
For members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced
Social Security benefits capped at 66.
2. PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014, vest
on a prorated basis from 50% after five years up to 100% after ten years of credited service.
Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014, vest on a prorated basis from
50% after ten years up to 100% after twenty years of credited service. The annuity accrual
rate is 3% of average salary for each year of service. For PEPFF members who were first
hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at
least 90.

C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions.
Contribution rates can only be modified by the state legislature.

6.50%, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2016. The City was
required to contribute 11.78% of pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50% for Coordinated
Plan members in calendar year 2016. The City’s contributions to the GERF for the year
ended December 31, 2016, were $458,639. The City’s contributions were equal to the
required contributions as set by state statute.

D. Pension Costs
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2016, the City reported a liability of $8,265,655 for its proportionate share of
the GERF’s net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to
the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the fund in 2016. The State of
Minnesota is considered a non-employer contributing entity and the state’s contribution
meets the definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate
share of the net pension liability associated with the City totaled $107,922. The net pension
liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate
the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s
proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA
during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2015, through
June 30, 2016, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s
participating employers. At June 30, 2016, the City’s proportion was .1018% which was an
increase of .0014% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $1,097,266
for its proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized
an additional $32,179 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of
the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the General Employees Fund.

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2016, the City reported a liability of $16,253,355 for its proportionate share
of the PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30,
2015, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined
by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was
based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for
employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016, relative to the total
employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30,
2016, the City’s proportion was .4050% which was a decrease of .0120% from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2015. The City also recognized $36,450 for the year ended
December 31, 2016, as revenue (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State
of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the PEPFF. Legislation passed in 2013 required
the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the PEPFF each year, starting in
fiscal year 2014.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $2,820,749
for its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s pension expense.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 3.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members,
retirees, survivors and disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for the General Employees
Plan and RP-2000 tables for the Police and Fire Plan for males or females, as appropriate, with
slight adjustment. Cost of living benefit increases for retirees are assumed to be one percent per
year for all future years for the General Employees Plan and Police and Fire Plan.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016 valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the General Employees Plan
was completed in 2015. The experience study for Police and Fire Plan was for the period July 1,
2004 through June 30, 2009. The most recent five-year experience study for the Police and Fire
Plan was completed in 2016, but the results were not adopted at the time of valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2016:

The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year
through 2035 and 2.5% per year thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount
rate was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%.
Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30, 2015.
The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by
0.25% to 3.25% for payroll growth and 2.50% for inflation.
Police and Fire Fund
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year
through 2037 and 2.5% thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount
rate changed from 7.9% to 5.6%.
The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by
0.25% to 3.25% for payroll growth and 2.50% for inflation.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 7.5%. The State Board of
Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the
reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return
by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The
target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class
are summarized in the following table:
TargetLong-Term Expected

International Stocks15%6.00%
Bonds18%1.45%

Cash2%0.50%

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2016 was 7.50%, a reduction from
7.9% used in 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed
that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota
Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees Fund
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan
members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
In the Police and Fire Fund, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2056. Beginning in
fiscal years ended June 30, 2057 for the Police and Fire Fund when projected benefit payments
exceed the funds’ projected fiduciary net position, benefit payments were discounted at the
municipal bond rate of 2.85% based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an
average AA credit rating at the measurement date. An equivalent single discount rate of 5.60%
for the Police and Fire Fund was determined that produced approximately the same present
value of projected benefits when applied to all years of projected benefits as the present value of
projected benefits using 7.50% applied to all years of projected benefits through the point of
asset depletion and 2.85% after.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity

8. Defined Contribution Plan
Five Council members of the City of Fridley are covered by the Public Employees Defined
Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a multiple-employer deferred compensation plan administered by
PERA. The PEDCP is a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less
administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions,
including the employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to
participate. An eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary which is
matched by the elected official's employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer
contributions are determined by the employer, and for salaried employees must be a fixed
percentage of salary. Employer contributions for volunteer personnel may be a unit value for
each call or period of alert duty. Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make
member contributions in an amount not to exceed the employer share. Employer and employee
contributions are combined and used to purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of
the Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund. For administering the plan, PERA receives 2% of
employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1% (.0025) of the assets in each member's
account annually.

9. Defined Contribution Pension Plan - Fridley Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association
Plan Description
The Fridley Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association (Association), is a single employer public
employee retirement system that acts as a common investment administrator for all of the City’s
firefighters. Pursuant to a 1987 amendment to its by-laws, the pension plan is a defined contribution
plan, prior to 1987 the pension plan was a defined benefit pension plan.
Benefits and contribution requirements are established by the Association’s by-laws and can be
amended by the Association’s Board of Trustees with approval from the City of Fridley, Minnesota.
All provisions are within limitations established by Minnesota Statutes.
Type of Benefit
The exclusive pension provided by the Association is a “Defined Contribution Lump Sum Service
Pension,” as defined in Minnesota Statutes §424A.02, Subdivision 4.
Contribution Made
The City collected and remitted $148,297 and $142,002 in State Aid to the Association for 2016 and
2015, respectively. This transaction is recorded as revenue and expenditures in the City’s financial
statements.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
During 2016 and as of December 31, 2016, the Association held no securities issued by the City
or other related parties.
10. Other Post-Employment Benefits
A. Plan Description
In addition to providing the pension benefits described in Note 7, the City provides post-
employment health care benefits (as defined in paragraph B) for retired employees and police
and firefighters disabled in the line of duty, through a single-employer defined benefit plan. The
termPlan refers to the City’s requirement by State Statute to provide retirees with access to
health insurance. The OPEB plan is administered by the City. The authority to provide these
benefits is established in Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.61 Subd. 2a, and 299A.465. The
benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are governed by the
City and can be amended by the City through its personnel manual and collective bargaining
agreements with employee groups. The Plan is not accounted for as a trust fund, as an
irrevocable trust has not been established to account for the Plan. The Plan does not issue a
separate report.
B. Benefits Provided
Retirees
The City is required by State Statute to allow retirees to continue participation in the City’s group
health insurance plan if the individual terminates service with the City through service retirement
or disability retirement. Covered spouses may continue coverage after the retiree’s death. The
surviving spouse of an active employee may continue coverage in the group health insurance
plan after the employee’s death.
All health care coverage is provided through the City’s group health insurance plans. The retiree
is required to pay 100% of their premium cost for the City-sponsored group health insurance plan
in which they participate. The premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and
retiree population. Since the projected claims costs for retirees exceed the blended premium
paid by retirees, the retirees are receiving an implicit rate subsidy (benefit). The coverage levels
are the same as those afforded to active employees. Upon a retiree reaching 65 years of age,
Medicare becomes the primary insurer.
The monthly retiree premiums effective January 1, 2016 were:

D. Funding Policy
The additional cost of using a blended rate for actives and retirees is currently funded on a pay-
as-you-go basis. The City Council may change the funding policy at any time.
E. Annual OPEB Costs and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual other post employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual
required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance
with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if
paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any
unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The net
OPEB obligation as of December 31, 2016, was calculated as follows:

*Using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
G. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality and the health care cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions (ARC)
of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress,
presented as required supplementary information following the notes to financial statements,
presents multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the
plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits
provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs
between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions
used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effect of short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of
the calculations.
In the January 1, 2014 actuarial valuation, the Projected Unit Credit Actuarial cost method was
used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.0% investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses) and an initial annual health care cost trend rate of 7.5% reduced by 0.31% each year
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
to arrive at an ultimate health care cost trend rate of 5.0%, which includes a 3% inflation
assumption. The actuarial value of assets was $0. The plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued
liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount over a 30-year open period. The remaining
amortization period at December 31, 2014, was 30 years.

B. MINIMUM UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE POLICY
The City Council has formally adopted a policy regarding the minimum unassigned fund balance
for the General Fund. The most significant revenue source of the General Fund is property
taxes. This revenue source is received in two installments during the year – June and
December. As such, it is the City’s goal to begin each fiscal year with sufficient working capital to
fund operations between each semi-annual receipt of property taxes. The City’s policy for
unassigned funds in the General Fund is equal to 35% - 50% of the following year General Fund
expenditures.
At December 31, 2016, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $9,084,228,
compared to its targeted unassigned fund balance of between $5,650,050 and $8,071,500.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During 1987, the City
established the Self Insurance Fund (an Internal Service Fund) to account for and finance its
uninsured risks of loss.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through
the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to
the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the
LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA)
as required by law. For workers compensation, the City is subject to a $2,500 deductible.
Property and casualty insurance coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program
through LMCIT. The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to
supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through
commercial companies for claims in excess of various amounts. For property (other than
vehicles for which the City is self-insured) and casualty coverage, the City has a $75,000
deductible per occurrence with a $150,000 annual maximum. This deductible gets paid out of the
Self-Insurance Fund as necessary.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including employee
health and disability insurance.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess
of insurance coverage for any of the past three fiscal years.
In 1990, the General Fund contributed $1,000,000 to the Self Insurance Fund in lieu of the Self
Insurance Fund charging losses back to each fund.
There is no recorded liability for unpaid claims because the amount of such claims, if any, is
considered to be immaterial.
As of December 31, 2016, the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of
$1,223,927 to cover future claims and losses.
B. Litigation
The City attorney and management has indicated that existing and pending lawsuits, claims and
other actions in which the City is a defendant are either covered by insurance; of an immaterial
amount; or, in the judgment of the City attorney and management, remotely recoverable by
plaintiffs.
C. Federal and State Funds
The City receives financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form
of grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires
compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and are subject to
audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a
liability of the applicable fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed
claims will not have a material effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund
types included herein or on the overall financial position of the City at December 31, 2016.
D. Tax Increment Districts
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability
of the applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of
noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements.
E. Tax Abatements – Pay-As-You-Go Tax Increment
The City provides tax abatements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.174 to 469.1794 (Tax
Increment Financing) through a pay-as-you-go note program. Tax increment financing (TIF) can
be used to encourage private development, redevelopment, renovation and renewal, growth in
low-to-moderate-income housing, and economic development within the City. TIF captures the
increase in tax capacity and property taxes from development or redevelopment to provide
funding for the related project.
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
The City has three tax increment pay-as-you-go agreements. The agreements are not a general
obligation of the City and are payable solely from available tax increment. Accordingly, these
agreements are not reflected in the financial statements of the City. Details of the pay-as-you-go
notes are as follows:
TIF District #6, Lake Pointe (Medtronic):
Issued in 2001 in the principal sum of $20,000,000 with an interest rate of 6.75% per annum.
Principal and interest shall be paid on August 1, 2001 and each February 1 and August 1
thereafter to and including March 1, 2026. Payments are payable solely from available tax
increment derived from the developed/redeveloped property and paid to the City.The pay-as-
you-go note provides for payment to the developer equal to 90% of all tax increment received in
the prior six months. The payment reimburses the developer for public improvements. The
City shall have no obligation to pay any unpaid balance of principal or accrued interest that may
remain after the final payment on March 1, 2026. The current year abatement (TIF note
payments) amounted to $528,968. At December 31, 2016, the principal amount outstanding on
the note was $20,000,000
TIF District #19, Mainstreet:

In 2014, the HRA entered into an agreement with Cielo Partners LLC for the sale of land from the HRA to
Cielo Partners LLC for the sum of $1.00. Per the agreement Cielo Partners LLC is to complete certain
performance obligations to complete the site improvements. If these performance obligations are not met
then Cielo Partners LLC will be obligated to pay the HRA for an amount up to $1,700,000. The HRA
believes that these obligations will be met and therefore has chosen not to record a receivable for the
sale of land to Cielo Partners LLC.

20. Change in Accounting Principle/Prior Period Adjustment
On January 1, 2016, the HRA recorded prior period adjustments in the General, Gateway
NorthEast and BAE Hazardous Sub District Funds. Interest on previously reported interfund
loans was unrecorded. As a result, beginning fund balance in each fund has been restated as
follows:

Net position/fund balance - January 1, 2016 as restated$9,974,774($3,664,652)($1,341,801)
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 68,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27.
GASB 68 addresses accounting and financial reporting for pension plans that are provided to
employees of state and local governments. The standard requires the City to record its share
of the net pension liability of defined benefit plans, as well as any corresponding deferred
inflows and outflows of resources. See Note 7 for further information.
The standard required retroactive implementation which resulted in a restatement of net
position as of December 31, 2014. Certain amounts necessary to fully restate 2014 financial
information are not determinable, therefore, prior year comparative amounts have not been
restated.
On January 1, 2015 the City also recorded a prior period adjustment in the Park Improvements
Fund. Revenues and fund balance previously reported were understated due to grant
expenditures that had occurred but had not been submitted for reimbursement. Details of the
prior period adjustment are as follows:

earmarked revenue sources. They are usually required by statute, charter provision or local
ordinance to finance particular governmental functions or activities.
Cable TV Fund - This fund receives revenues from the issuance of a franchise agreement with
the cable TV provider. These revenues are used for the operation and maintenance of a
government access channel.
Grant Management Fund – This fund administers grants received from a variety of
intergovernmental agencies, which the amounts are restricted. In most cases, grant funds are
provided on a reimbursement basis following proper documentation of expenditures, however, in
some cases the money is provided in advance to spend on specific activities outlined in the
grant.
Solid Waste Abatement Fund - This fund receives grants, recycling fees and yard waste fees.
These revenues finance the City’s curbside recycling pickup and operation of the yard waste
transfer site.
Drug and Gambling Forfeiture Fund - This fund receives forfeited property in connection with
illegal gambling or drug activity. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, the proceeds are disbursed
between the investigating agency and the prosecuting agency.
Police Activity Fund - This fund is used to track the revenue and expenditures of externally
funded police positions.
Springbrook Nature Center Fund - This fund was established in 2005 after a $275,000
referendum supporting the Springbrook Nature Center was approved by the voters in
November of 2004. The revenues from the annual levy are used for the on-going operation of
the nature center and the capital improvement projects required in the park.

associated with providing fringe and pension benefits for employees.

Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term
debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not
imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
