MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Fridley, we offer readers of the City of Fridley’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of
the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information
that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 3
through 9 of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City of Fridley exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most
recent fiscal year by $67,610,967 (net position). Of this amount, $19,967,123
(unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund designations
and fiscal policies.
Net position of the government-wide financial statements was positively impacted in
the current year by $481,970 due to investment earnings. This is more fully
described on page 28.
During 2017, the City’s total net position increased by $4,816,720.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Fridley’s governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $55,573,961. Of this total amount,
$34,836,321, or 62% is restricted through legal restrictions or third-party
agreements.
At the end of the current fiscal year the general fund balance of $9,593,086 included
$55,777 in non-spendable, $14,466 in restricted, and $9,522,843 in unassigned fund
balance.
The City’s total debt increased by $44,800,000 during the current fiscal year. Total
debt outstanding at December 31, 2017 is $58,555,000.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of
Fridley’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise
three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial
statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
23
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
assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of
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
governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in
24
Managements Discussion and Analysis
’
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 four 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, 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 43 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.
25
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 94 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 107 through 134 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 $67,610,967 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
A significant portion of the City of Fridley's net position ($44,904,269 or sixty-six
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 accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 in
2016. 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 $12,831,982 at December 31, 2017 due to
the assumption changes and investment earnings projections from the Public
Employees Retirement Association’s (PERA) own actuarial study. Pension-related
amounts included in the above schedule related to the standard are as follows:
Deferred outflows of resources$8,719,000
Deferred inflows of resources(10,292,170)
Noncurrent liabilities(11,258,812)
Total($12,831,982)
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
$19,967,123 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.

Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City of Fridley’s net position by $3,321,953.
Capital grants and contributions decreased by $963,052 due to a large parks capital
grant that was essentially complete in 2016. Non-restricted grants decreased
$1,106,068 and property taxes increased $1,661,838 with the levy of a 2017 tax-
supported bond issuance. 2017 expenditures reflect the increased interest on long-
term debt related to that new debt issuance. Public Safety expenditures decreased
by $1,184,052 primarily due to the pension expense. For 2016, GASB 68 related
public safety expense was $2,934,169 in comparison to $1,223,833 in 2017. This
large decrease correlates with the large decrease in the Net Pension Liability as a
result of assumption changes made by PERA.

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 $55,573,961.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $421,650 in 2017. This was much
better than the increase of $0 anticipated with the 2017 revised budget. Public
safety was under budget by $141,221 due to vacancies in staffing. A contingency
for emergencies was budgeted in the amount of $120,000 for which no expenditures
were incurred during 2017. Public works was under budget by $102,427 primarily
due to a reduction in supplies and contractual services.
The Debt Service Fund increased by $381,878 in 2017. 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 $1,667,018 and is
identified as a major fund. The fund balance decreased by $1,129,783 in 2017 with
the use of reserves to support the funding of a pedestrian bridge.
The Building Improvements Fund has a restricted fund balance of $32,248,155 and
is identified as a major fund. The fund balance increased $31,575,320 with the
proceeds from capital bonding received in 2017 for a new civic campus.
Non-major special revenue funds increased by $69,272 in 2017. This was primarily
due to an increase in franchise fees and reimbursements for franchise costs
incurred.
Non-major capital project funds increased by $85,282 in 2017. This was primarily
due to proceeds from the sale of capital assets of $69,784 and the delay of projects
scheduled in the park capital fund.
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 $587,140,
water $4,092,586, sewer $3,683,511 and storm water $2,897,997. The liquor,
water, sewer and storm water funds had an increase in net position of $93,345,
$21,138, $345,766 and $1,090,552, respectively.

Budgetary Highlights
General Fund
The original revenue and expenditure budgets were amended ($82,900) primarily to
account for salaries and supplies coming in slightly under budget.
Operating expenditures in total were less than the final budgetary estimates by
$516,971. The City management department was under budget by $47,846
primarily due to a reduction in legal expenses and professional services in the
human resources division. Public safety was under budget by $141,221 due to
vacancies and staffing. Public works was under budget by $91,927 primarily due to
a reduction in supplies and fuel costs. Community Development was under budget
by $76,326 due to staffing vacancies during the year. A contingency for
emergencies was budgeted in the amount of $120,000 for which no expenditures
were incurred during 2017.
Total revenues were less than the final budgetary estimates by $95,321.
Intergovernmental revenues were over budget by $93,485 due to an increase in both
state and federal grants along with receiving more police state aid than projected.
Current and delinquent property taxes were under budget by $84,101 and $103,052
respectively due to tax petitions resulting in reduced current and prior year taxes for
several commercial properties. The anticipated insurance reimbursement for 2017
was only half of what had been anticipated resulting in a budget shortage of
$44,359.
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, 2017, amounts to
$70,383,754 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets
includes land, buildings and structures, improvements other than buildings,
machinery and equipment, infrastructure and construction in progress.

Managements Discussion and Analysis

to 3% of total Estimated Market Value. The current debt limitation for the City of
Fridley is $72,490,155. Only $50,055,000 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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
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, 2017
With comparative amounts for the year ended December 31, 2016
20172016
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)$31,403,619($521,253)
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.22,506,8425,890,743
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.(207,536)318,636
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.(48,926,785)1,230,000
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.(731,779)(2,682,882)
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.(18,326)(37,012)
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.(704,082)17,437

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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
53

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.
TheBuilding Improvements Fund is used to account for repairs and replacement of major
buildings or building related 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.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
TheLiquor Fund accounts for operations of the municipal liquor stores.
54
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.
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
55
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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, 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.

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, 2017
are planned to be eliminated in 2018. 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
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
57
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.

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 estimated useful life
in excess of two years and an initial cost of more than the following:
Capitalization Threshold
Land$1
Building and building improvements$25,000
Land improvements$25,000
Vehicles and equipment$10,000
Infrastructure$50,000
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated acquisition 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.
59
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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, 2017, $86,561 of interest was capitalized in connection with construction in progress.
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 10 – 20 years
Buildings and structures 10 – 40 years
Machinery and equipment 3 – 25 years
Infrastructure 15 – 50 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.
60
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.
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
61
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.
S. Pension Plans
Cost Sharing Multiple – Employer 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
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 ($53,466,759) difference are
as follows:
Bonds payable($50,510,000)
Premium on bonds payable(1,526,785)
Accrued interest payable(742,205)
Other post employment benefits payable(687,769)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities($53,466,759)
62
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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 $22,506,842 difference are as follows:
Net book value of capital asset disposals($170,869)
Capital outlay22,577,062
Capital outlay not capitalized(15,092)
Capital contributions2,688,394
Depreciation expense(2,572,653)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities$22,506,842
Another element of that reconciliation states that “revenues in the statement of activities that
do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds”. The
details of this ($207,536) difference are as follows:
Unavailable revenue - general property taxes:
At December 31, 2016($141,879)
At December 31, 2017148,450
Unavailable revenue - special assessments:
At December 31, 2016(2,166,391)
At December 31, 20171,895,881
Unavailable revenue - interest on loan to HRA:
At December 31, 2016(111,524)
At December 31, 2017167,927
Net adjustments to decrease net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities($207,536)
63
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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
($48,926,785) difference are as follows:
Principal repayments:
G.O. improvement bonds$1,730,000
Bond issuance(49,130,000)
Premium on bonds issuance(1,526,785)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities($48,926,785)
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, 2016, from which the summarized information was derived.
2. Deposits and Investments
A.Deposits

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 other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
either directly or indirectly.Inputs for Level 2 include quoted prices for similar assets in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, inputs other that quoted
prices that are observable for the asset, or inputs derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 investments are valued using inputs
that are unobservable.

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.
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 Mortgage Corporation5.39%
US Treasury Note14.13%
Federal National Mortgage Association21.99%
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 Bank6.82%
Federal National Mortgage Association14.92%
US Treasury Note27.55%

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
76
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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.
1. GERF Contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1% and
6.50%, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2017. The City was
required to contribute 11.78% of pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50% for Coordinated
Plan members in calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the GERF for the year
ended December 31, 2017, were $479,410. The City’s contributions were equal to the
required contributions as set by state statute.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.8% of their annual covered salary in calendar
year 2017. The City was required to contribute 16.20% of pay for PEPFF members in
calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31,
2017, were $653,014. 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, 2017, the City reported a liability of $6,249,871 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 2017. 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 $78,569. The net pension
77

liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, 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, 2016, through
June 30, 2017, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s
participating employers. At June 30, 2017 the City’s proportion was .0979% which was a
decrease of .0039% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $800,023
for its proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized
an additional $2,269 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.
At December 31, 2017, the City reported its proportionate share of the GERF’s deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the
following sources:

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, 2016, through June 30, 2017, relative to the total
employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30,
2017, the City’s proportion was .3710% which was a decrease of .0340% from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2016. The City also recognized $33,390 for the year ended
December 31, 2017, as revenue and an offsetting reduction of net pension liability 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, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $1,151,494
for its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s pension expense.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017, 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 both plans for males or
females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA’s experience. Cost of living benefit
increases for retirees are assumed to be one percent per year for the General Employees Plan
through 2044 and Police and Fire Plan through 2064 and then 2.5% thereafter.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 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 most recent five-year experience study for the Police and Fire Plan
was completed in 2016.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2017:
General Employees Fund
The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active
members and 60 percent for vested and non-vested deferred members. The revised
CSA loads are now 0.0 percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested
deferred member liability and 3.0 percent for non-vested deferred member liability.
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per
year for all years to 1.0 percent per year through 2044 and 2.5 percent per year
thereafter.
Police and Fire Fund
The single discount rate was changed from 5.6% to 7.5%.
Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016
experience study. The net effect is proposed rates that average 0.34 percent lower than
the previous rates.
Assumed rates of retirement were changed, resulting in fewer retirements.
The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) load was 30 percent for vested and non-vested
deferred members. The CSA has been changed to 33 percent for vested members and
2 percent for non-vested members.
The base mortality table for healthy annuitants was changed from the RP-2000 fully
generational table to the RP-2014 fully generational table (with a base year of 2006), with
male rates adjusted by a factor of 0.96. The mortality improvement scale was changed
from Scale AA to Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was
changed from the RP-2000 disabled mortality table to the mortality tables assumed for
healthy retirees.
Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3.0 percent for the first three years of
service. Rates beyond the select period of three years were adjusted, resulting in more
expected terminations overall.
Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65 percent to 60
percent.
80
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members
(wives assumed to be three years younger) and female members (husbands assumed to
be four years older) to the assumption that males are two years older than females.
The assumed percentage of female members electing Joint and Survivor annuities was
increased.
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.00 perfect for all
years to 1.00 percent per year through 2064 and 2.50 percent thereafter.
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
Asset ClassAllocationReal Rate of Return
Domestic Stocks39%5.10%
International Stocks19%5.30%
Bonds20%0.75%
Alternative Assets20%5.90%
Cash2%0.00%
Total100%
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2017 was 7.50%. 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 and the Police and Fire Fund 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. At June 30, 2016,
the Police and Fire Fund projected benefit payments to exceed the funds projected fiduciary net
position after June 30, 2056 and therefore used a single discount rate of 5.6%, which as stated
above, increased to 7.5% at June 30, 2017.

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 $151,398 and $148,297 in State Aid to the Association for 2017 and
2016, respectively. This transaction is recorded as revenue and expenditures in the City’s financial
statements.
During 2017 and as of December 31, 2017, 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
83
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2017 were:

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, 2017, was calculated as follows:

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, 2017 actuarial valuation, the Projected Unit Credit Actuarial cost method was
used. The actuarial assumptions included a 3.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses) and an initial annual health care cost trend rate of 6.5% reduced by 0.25% each year
to arrive at an ultimate health care cost trend rate of 5.0%, which includes a 2.5% 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, 2017, 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, 2017, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $9,522,843,
compared to its targeted unassigned fund balance of between $5,828,445 and $8,326,350.

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.
89
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017
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, 2017, the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of
$1,209,257 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, 2017.
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.

NONMAJOR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for revenues derived from specific taxes or other
earmarked revenue sources. They are usually required by statute, charter provision or local
ordinance to finance particular governmental functions or activities.
Cable TV Fund - This fund receives revenues from the issuance of a franchise agreement with
the cable TV provider. These revenues are used for the operation and maintenance of a
government access channel.
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.

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.
