To the Citizens of the City of Fridley,
Mayor and Council Members
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (AFR) of the City of Fridley, Minnesota
(City), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, 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. The City believes
that the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects. The data 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. 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 (GAAP) 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’s MD&A may be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
All City funds, departments, commissions and other organizations for which the City is
financially accountable are presented within the AFR. The City provides a full range of
services to its citizens, including police and fire protection; water and sanitary sewer
utilities; the construction and maintenance of streets and sidewalks; recreational facilities;
commercial and residential real estate development coordination; and general
administrative services. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is included in
the reporting entity as a component unit of the City as the governing board is appointed by
the City Council and because of the City’s financial relationship with the HRA.
The organization, form and contents of this report were prepared in accordance 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, the City Charter, the Fridley City Code and other applicable actions of the City
Council.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
PROFILE OF THE CITY
The City is a first–ring suburban community with an estimated 2020 population of 29,374.
The City is located 10 minutes north of downtown Minneapolis and 25 minutes northwest
of downtown St. Paul. Incorporated in July of 1949, the City covers about 11 square miles
and is home to some of the most important industries in the world. An “industrial spine”
around the rail corridor has served the City well and has provided the community with
nearly as many jobs as the number of residents. The City is home to the largest number of
employees in Anoka County.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The local economy continues to grow through an increase in new construction,
redevelopment, and renovation. However, the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a significant effect on unemployment. Unemployment
in Minnesota peaked in May of 2020 at a seasonally adjusted 11.3% and remained elevated
in December of 2020 at 4.7%. In 2020, unemployment remained below the national
average, consistent with the historic trend for the State of Minnesota (State).
In July of 2020, the City received $2,171,608 from the Coronavirus Relief Fund as
authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Public
Law 116–136). Generally, the monies were used to support necessary expenditures related
to the public health emergency created by the outbreak of COVID–19, including business
assistance grants, remote work technologies and sanitation equipment.
Fridley Liquor, the municipal liquor operation owned and operated by the City, had another
record-breaking year of sales, primarily due to the closure or limited capacity of certain
businesses. Although both Fridley Liquor locations were closed due in part to the
pandemic and civil unrest related to the death of George Floyd, gross sales totaled about
$6,800,000, an increase of about 9.75% compared to 2019.
Once again, the taxable market value of the City increased significantly in 2020, growing
by about $215,821,000, or 7.9%, compared to 2019. The number of residential home sales
also increased by about 20% over the same time period, largely due to additional
development adjacent to the Fridley Civic Campus. Additionally, the City experienced
another strong year of real estate development, adding about $99,300,000 of new market
value to the community.
While the estimated market value for all properties in the City increased by about 2.6% in
2020 (unaudited), the average sale price of a residential homestead increased by more than
7% compared to the previous year. These increases in valuation are consistent with other
cities located in the Minneapolis–St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area.
As of May 21, 2021, the City, much like many other municipalities, continues to experience
the impacts of the outbreak of COVID–19. While the City received significant aids to
4

defray certain costs, the effects of the pandemic on the community, and its economy, may
not be fully understood for some time.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
As a fully-developed community, the City continues to experience certain financial
challenges. In order to maintain affordable housing and the corresponding tax base, the
City must help protect its aging housing stock. The City also works diligently, through the
budget process, to develop financial plans that emphasize reasonable tax rates, consistent
service delivery, infrastructure investments, and good standing within the broader financial
and local government community.
The City continues to focus on quality-of-life improvements throughout the community.
These initiatives include revitalizing parks and public areas, maintaining and improving
current City services, and increasing the communication between City representatives and
the public. For example, the City recently undertook a major public engagement effort
related to the development of a Park System Master Plan.
The City also continues to work closely with every level of government and other interested
parties to improve transportation throughout the community, including major investment
in area highways, roads and streets. Funding for these improvements comes largely from
the State and certain federal agencies with additional monies levied through special
assessment against benefiting properties and other applicable funds controlled by the City.
Annually, the City develops a five-year financial plan for all budgeted funds. The plans
help the organization better understand the effects of certain public policy decision and
allow the City to make more proactive decisions regarding its financial position.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
In 2020, the City continued a number of projects in partnership with various public and
private entities related to several infrastructure and redevelopment project. The following
non-exhaustive list outlines many of the more significant projects.
1. The City completed rehabilitation of the Locke Park Water Treatment Plant, further
enhancing the quality of water and the water treatment process for the community.
2. Adjacent to the Fridley Civic Campus, a developer completed both Phase II and
Phase III of a housing development planned in partnership with the City. In total,
the project added another 72 units of housing for the community.
3. Through a Cooperative Agreement with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT), the City replaced fencing and other barriers, modified
lighting, and provided safer pedestrian access in and around on University Avenue.
5
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
4. The City completed three major street rehabilitation projects, including: a
reclamation of various street segments on 69th Avenue; rehabilitation on East
University Frontage road from 69th Avenue to 73rd Avenue; and the rehabilitation
of various street segments in the Western Melody Manor and Springbrook
neighborhoods.
5. The City continued with the development of a Park System Master Plan, which
includes a series of community listening sessions and feedback to identify possible
capital improvements to the parks and trails located throughout the City.
6. A regional developer began construction on 270 units of housing in two separate
buildings adjacent to the Northstar Transit Station as part of the Fridley Station
Village Project. The development began initially in 2019.
7. The City completed construction of a new pavilion at the Springbrook Nature
Center. The new structure, funded in part by a grant the Minnesota Department of
Nature Resources and the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, includes a large
outdoor shelter and indoor classroom space.
8. The City, on behalf of and for the HRA, issued $4,540,000 in General Obligation
Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2020A, which was consolidated with a similar bond
issue from 2019, to refinance a $15,775,000 tax increment revenue note for
developer assistance provided through Tax Increment Financing District No. 20
Moving into 2021, the City continues its effort to enhance and expand various programs
and services while ensuring a fiscally responsible organization sensitive to the needs of the
community. The 2021 Budget reflects these goals while also responding to various cost
pressures and guidance from the City Council. While the 2021 Budget does not include
any new initiatives or services, it does provide additional budget authority to support the
anticipated outcome of an ongoing compensation plan update.
In 2021, construction and development began quite strongly. As of April 26, 2021, the
value of new construction totaled about $69.5M compared to $8.7M at the same time last
year, or an increase of nearly $61M. The City has several large projects anticipated for
2021, including, but not limited to the following:
1. As mentioned above, a regional developer began the third and final phase of the
Fridley Station Village Project. The third building will provide 71 units of
affordable housing for the community.
2. Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) plans to build a new lift
station at 6900 East River Road to replace the existing lift station currently located
in the City of Brooklyn Park.
6
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
3. A regional developer began construction of a 135 unit of senior housing located on
the site of the “old city hall.” The building will provide a mix of independent,
assisted and memory-care living situations.
4. In 2020, the City created TIF District No. 25 to support the redevelopment of the
Holly Center, a mixed-use shopping center. A regional developer recently broke
ground on the construction of 261 units of workforce housing and 10,000 square
feet of commercial space. The building will begin leasing in 2022.
5. The City plans to complete three street projects in 2021. The first will provide for
the rehabilitation of streets and applicable utilities in three neighborhoods. The
second will construct a multi-use trail along 7ths street. The third will provide for
geometric changes for University Avenue Service Road and the construction of a
corresponding multi-use trail.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
In developing and improving the accounting system of the City, 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 from the same. The evaluation of costs and benefits are based on the
reasonable estimates and judgments of City management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. The internal accounting
controls of the City adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of the
proper recording of financial transactions.
Budgets for the General, Special Revenue and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on an
annual basis. Budgetary control is maintained in compliance with the City Charter. The
City Charter provides that it is the duty of the City Manager to strictly enforce the
provisions of the budget. The management policy of the City is such that the existence of
a particular item or appropriation in the approved budget does not mean that it will or must
be expended.
Budget adjustments between City departments are made upon the approval of a resolution
by the City Council. The City Charter provides that the City Council shall not have power
to increase the total amount of the budget, whether by insertion of new items or otherwise,
beyond the estimated revenue unless the actual revenue exceeds such revenue estimates,
and in that event not beyond such actual revenue. There is a monthly process to review
actual revenues and expenditures. The City Council also adopts a revised budget annually
to reflect any material changes, consistent with the City Charter.
7
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
Expenditures are not approved until it has been determined that the expenditure 1) meets a
public purpose, 2) is necessary, 3) adequate funds have been appropriated; 4) funds are
available; and 5) the authorization of the appropriation expenditure by the appropriate
parties. As required by the City Charter, budgetary control is maintained within each
department at the department level per the annually adopted budget resolution. 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 for carrying out
the regular operations of the City. The funds addressed in this policy include the General
Fund, Solid Waste Abatement Fund, Springbrook Nature Center Fund, Cable Television
Fund, and all Enterprise Funds. In 2020, all the funds addressed by this policy met their
fund balance guidelines.
The purpose of the Investment Policy is to develop an overall program and philosophy for
cash investments, designed and managed with a high degree of professionalism and worthy
of the public trust. It establishes that elected and appointed officials as well as certain
employees are custodians of a portfolio. It also establishes cash investment objectives,
delegation of authority, standards of prudence, internal controls, authorized investments,
selection process for investments and broker representations.
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 Office of the State Auditor. The accounting firm of
Redpath and Company was engaged by the City to render an opinion on the financial
statements of the City. 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.

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, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of
Fridley, Minnesota’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.
19
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, 2020, 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 2019 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 May 8, 2020. In our opinion, the
summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31,
2019 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
management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedule, the schedule of
changes in total OPEB liability and related ratios, the schedules of pension contributions, and the
schedules of proportionate share of net 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.
20
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 12,
2021, 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 solely 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 the effectiveness of the City of Fridley, Minnesota’s 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Fridley (City), we offer readers of the City’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The City encourages readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information
that we have furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 3
through 9 of this report.
Financial Highlights
The City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$72,708,984 (net position). Of this amount, $16,835,931 (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 negatively impacted
in the current year by $14,962,612 due to the payment to the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority for the pay-off of the Northern Stacks TIF Note. During
2020, the City’s total net position decreased by $3,698,691.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $35,172,600. Of this total amount, $3,591,226,
or 10% is restricted through legal restrictions or third–party agreements.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the General Fund balance of $13,693,825
included $65,779 in non–spendable, $24,513 in restricted, and $13,603,533 in
unassigned fund balance.
The City’s total debt increased by $2,270,000 during the current fiscal year. Total
debt outstanding at December 31, 2020 is $65,590,000.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s
basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise of 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.
Government–wide financial statements. The government–wide financial
statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s
finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. The statement of net
23
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of
resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resource, with the remainder 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 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
that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (i.e.,
governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (i.e., business–type
activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government,
public safety, public works, community development, and recreation. The business–
type activities of the City include Municipal Liquor, Water, Sanitary 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, 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 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
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
24
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
expenditures, and change in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains five 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, Street Improvement, TIF 20
Note Payoff Fund, and Community Investment 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 adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, the Cable
Television (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 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 uses enterprise funds to account for its
Municipal Liquor, Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Water operations. The City
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, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Water and
Municipal Liquor operations, all of which are considered to be major funds of the
City. 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.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 46 through
51 of this report.
25
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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’s own programs. 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 55 through 99 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 129 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, assets exceeded liabilities
by $72,708,984 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
A significant portion of the City's net position ($52,210,917, or 72%) 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 uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are
not available for future spending. Although the City’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.

Governmental Activities Business-Type Totals
The City adopted accounting guidance, Governmental Account Standards Board
(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 $11,801,381 at December 31, 2020 due to
pension–related amounts included in the above schedule related to the standard are
as follows:
Deferred outflows of resources $3,723,095
Deferred inflows of resources (4,523,667)
Noncurrent liabilities (11,000,809)
Total ($11,801,381)
A portion of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $16,835,931 in
unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
27
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City 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 decreased the City’s net position by $5,837,587. Capital
grants and contributions increased by $4,762,436. This increase is a result of
assessments for the street rehabilitation project and MSA construction allotments.
Operating grants and contributions decreased by $242,108. This decrease is the
result of an overall decrease in donations for 2020 coupled with a SNC in 2019 that
was one year only. In addition, property taxes increased $857,900 with a 3.97% levy
increase. Other general revenues increased $987,879. In 2019, the City had a one-
time receipt of $1,645,020 representing the remaining balance of the North
Suburban Hospital District which dissolved in 2020. In 2020, the City received
$2,171,608 of federal Coronavirus Relief Fund monies. 2020 expenses increased
by $15,210,802. The increase is largely due to the payment of $14,962,612 to the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the pay-off of the Northern Stacks TIF
Note.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’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’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’s governmental funds reported a combined
ending fund balance of $35,172,600.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $3,431,364 in 2020. This was
greater than the $2,045,000 anticipated fund balance change with the 2020 revised
budget. Investment income came in $225,584 over budget, Permit revenue came in
$271,784 over budget and the City received $286,623 in additional
intergovernmental revenues. The City was also $335,910 below budget in Parks &
Recreation largely due to the pandemic.
The Debt Service Fund increased by $622,455 in 2020. This was largely due to a
payment from the HRA for debt service on the TIF bonds due on February 1, 2021.
The Street Improvements Fund has an assigned fund balance of $2,255,127 and is
identified as a major fund. The fund balance increased by $553,834 in 2020.
The Community Investment Fund has a committed fund balance of $9,074,953 and
is identified as a major fund. The fund balance increased $416,363. This fund
provided an interfund loan to the Water fund in the amount of $3,285,970 to finance
the Locke Parke Water Treatment Plant project.
The TIF 20 Note Payoff Fund has a restricted fund balance of $8,748 and is
identified as a major fund. This note was issued to help refinance an outstanding tax
increment revenue note for Tax increment financing district No. 20 (Northern
Stacks).
Non–major special revenue funds decreased by $47,256 in 2020.
Non–major capital project funds decreased by $331,296 in 2020. This was mainly
due to completing capital projects at the City’s Civic Campus and park
improvements.
31
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Proprietary funds. The City’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: Municipal
Liquor, $1,312,053; Water, $2,903,686; Sanitary Sewer, $4,501,824; and Storm
Water, $2,433,583. The Municipal Liquor, Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Water
funds increased in net position of $332,495, $1,011,856, $110,742 and $597,498,
respectively.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund
The original revenue and expenditure budgets were amended, however these
amendments did not change the fund balance.
Operating expenditures in total were less than the final budgetary estimates by
$718,037. The City Management Department was under budget by $45,300,
primarily due to legal expenditures coming in lower than budget. Public Safety was
under budget by $192,237 primarily due to savings in personal services resulting
from staff turnover in addition to lower fuel costs. Emergency reserves was over
budget by $392,640 due to additional expenditures that were encountered due to the
Coronavirus. Public Works was under budget by $164,727. Most of these savings
were in supplies and contractual services. Community Development was under
budget by $142,867 primarily due delays in filling open positions in the midst of the
pandemic.
Total revenues were more than the final budgetary estimates by $651,027.
Investment income was over budget by $225,584 due to higher than expected
investment return rates. Federal grants came in $143,318 higher than budget and
building inspection revenues exceeded budget estimates by $335,555.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and
business type activities as of December 31, 2020, amounts to $105,207,857 (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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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 is
$92,204,535. Only $60,070,000 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.
Requests for information. This financial report is designed to provide a general
overview of the City’s finances for all those with an interest in the government’s
finances. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or
requests for additional financial information should be addressed to the Finance
Director, 7071 University Avenue NE, Fridley, Minnesota 55432.

Exhibit A-5
2020 2019
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)($5,207,440) $12,893,076
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.(106,368) (2,168,037)
Contributed capital assets recorded as revenue in the statement of 2,228,712 44,500
activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds.
Deferred revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.419,156 (276,473)
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.(3,430,742) (8,456,441)
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.512,127 261,534
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.(73,010) (54,364)
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.(180,022) 17,570

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
55
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
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 and the fiduciary 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.
The Debt 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.
The TIF 20 Note Payoff Fund services debt on a Tax Increment Financing District created by
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to support the eligible costs associated with the
redevelopment of the area known as Northern Stacks.
The Street Improvements Fund is used to account for repairs and replacements of city streets
and street related equipment such as signs and street lights.
56
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
The Community Investment Fund is used to account for capital costs associated with the
parks and public utilities maintained by the City.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Liquor Fund accounts for operations of the municipal liquor stores.
The Water Fund accounts for the water service charges which are used to finance the water
system operating expenses.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the sewer service charges which are used to finance the
sanitary sewer system operating expenses.
The Storm 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.
Fiduciary Funds - Custodial 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 operating revenues 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
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.
58
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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.
The following is a listing of funds whose expenditures exceeded budgeted appropriations:
Final Amount Over
Budget Actual Budget
Nonmajor Funds:
Solid Waste Abatement Fund $497,700 $503,809 $6,109
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 “due from/to other
funds.” All short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31, 2020 are planned to
be eliminated in 2021. 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
59
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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 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.
60
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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.

CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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:
Land $1
Building and building improvements $25,000
Land improvements $25,000
Vehicles and equipment $10,000
Infrastructure $50,000
Capitalization Threshold
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.
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.
62
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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.
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.
63
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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
will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The
government has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. They are the pension and
OPEB 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.
S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources,
and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees
Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to and 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 ($63,359,021) difference are as
follows:
Bonds payable $60,135,000
Premium on bonds payable 2,335,572
Accrued interest payable 888,449
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities $63,359,021
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 ($106,368) difference are as follows:
Net book value of capital asset disposals $ -
Capital outlay 4,412,516
Depreciation expense (4,518,884)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities ($106,368)
65
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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 $419,156 difference are as follows:
Unavailable revenue - general property taxes:
At December 31, 2019 ($180,023)
At December 31, 2020 271,343
Unavailable revenue - special assessments:
At December 31, 2019 (1,152,895)
At December 31, 2020 1,465,491
Unavailable revenue - miscellaneous
At December 31, 2019 (34,760)
At December 31, 2020 50,000
Net adjustments to decrease net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities $419,156
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
($3,430,742) difference are as follows:
Principal repayments:
G.O. improvement bonds $1,540,000
Amortization of premium on bonds issuance 188,917
Bond Premium (619,659)
Bond issuance (4,540,000)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund
balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities ($3,430,742)
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
66
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

information should be read in conjunction with the City’s financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2019, from which the summarized information was derived.
2. Deposits and Investments
A. Deposits
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at those depository banks
authorized by the City Council, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota Statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond, or
collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not covered
by insurance or bonds.
Minnesota Statutes require that securities pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping by the City
Treasurer or in a financial institution other than that furnishing the collateral. Minnesota Statute
118.A.03 identifies allowable forms of collateral.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits: Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. State Statutes require that insurance, surety
bonds or collateral protect all City deposits. The market value of collateral pledged must equal
110% of deposits not covered by insurance or bonds. At times, deposits may be in excess of
collateral pledged.
B. Investments
Subject to rating, yield, maturity and issuer requirements as prescribed by statue, Minnesota
Statutes 118A.04 and 118A.05 authorized the City to invest in United States securities, state and
local securities, commercial paper, time deposits, high-risk mortgage-backed securities,
temporary general obligation bonds, repurchase agreements, Minnesota joint powers investment
trust and guaranteed investment contracts.

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 Corporation 20.23%
US Treasury Note 28.95%
Federal National Mortgage Association 32.23%
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 National Mortgage Association 6.03%
Federal Farm Credit Bank 13.09%
Various Local Gov't Bonds 21.11%

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. 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 members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989
receive the higher of Method 1 or Method 2 formulas. Only Method 2 is used for members
hired after June 30, 1989. Under Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is
1.2% of average salary for each of the first ten years of service and 1.7% of average salary
for each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated Plan members is
1.7% of average salary for all years 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.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Beginning in 2019, the
postretirement increase is equal to 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced
by the SSA, with a minimum increase of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. Recipients
that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before
the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the
annuity or benefit for at least one month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the
effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase. For members retiring
on January 1, 2024 or later, the increase will be delayed until normal retirement age (age 65
if hired prior to July 1, 1989, or age 66 for individuals hired on or after July 1, 1989).
Members retiring under Rule of 90 are exempt from the delay to normal retirement.
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.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Beginning in 2019, the
postretirement increase will be fixed at 1%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity
or benefit for at least 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase
will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25
months but less than 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase
will receive a reduced prorated increase.
June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.

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
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 6.5% of their annual covered salary in
fiscal year 2020 and the City was required to contribute 7.5% for Coordinated Plan members.
The City’s contributions to the GERF for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $525,081.
The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Police and Fire member’s contribution rates increased from 11.3% of pay to 11.8% and
employer rates increased from 16.95% to 17.70% on January 1, 2020. The City’s
contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $807,829. 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, 2020, the City reported a liability of $5,671,702 for its proportionate share of
GERF’s net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the
State of Minnesota’s contribution of $16 million. 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 $174,864. The net pension liability was measured as of June
30, 2020, 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, 2019 through June 30, 2020, relative to
the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. The
City’s proportionate share was 0.0946% at the end of the measurement period and 0.0919%
for the beginning of the period.
City's proportionate share of the net pension liability $5,671,702
State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net pension
liability associated with the City 174,864
Total $5,846,566
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the City recognized pension expense of $151,294
for its proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized
an additional $15,219 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of
the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $16 million to the GERF.

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2020, the City reported a liability of $5,329,107 for its proportionate share of
the PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30,
2020 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 proportionate share 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, 2019 through June 30, 2020, relative to
the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. The
City’s proportionate share was 0.4043% at the end of the measurement period and 0.4147%
for the beginning of the period.
The State of Minnesota also contributed $13.5 million to PEPFF during the plan fiscal year
ended June 30, 2020. The contribution consisted of $4.5 million in direct state aid that does
meet the definition of a special funding situation and $9.0 million in fire state aid that does not

million in fire state aid will continue until the fund is 90 percent funded, or until the State
Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) is 90 percent funded,
whichever occurs later.
As a result, the State of Minnesota is included as a non-employer contributing entity in the
PEPFF Schedule of Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer,
Current Reporting Period Only (pension allocation schedules) for the $4.5 million in direct
state aid. PEPFF employers need to recognize their proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota’s pension expense (and grant revenue) under GASB 68 special funding situation
accounting and financial reporting requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the
City recognized pension expense of $587,156 for its proportionate share of the Police and
Fire Plan’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an additional $38,622 as
pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s
contribution of $4.5 million to the PEPFF.
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and
Fire Pension Plan pension allocation schedules for the $9 million in fire state aid. The City
also recognized $38,622 for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 Police and Fire Fund.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using an
individual entry-age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50 percent per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 3.25 percent per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.50 percent
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members,
retirees, survivors, and disabilitants for all plans were based on RP 2014 tables for males or
females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA’s experience. Cost of living benefit
increases after retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25% per year for GERF and 1.0% per
year for PEPFF.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study for GERF was completed in
2019. The assumption changes were adopted by the Board and become effective with the July 1,
2020 actuarial valuation. The most recent four-year experience study for PEPFF was completed
in 2020.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2020:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The price inflation assumption was decreased from 2.50% to 2.25%.
The payroll growth assumption was decreased from 3.25% to 3.00%.
As recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study, assumed salary increase rates
were decreased 0.25% and assumed rates of retirement were changed resulting in more
unreduced (normal) retirements and slightly fewer Rule of 90 and early retirements. Assumed
rates of termination and disability were also changed.
The base mortality tables were changed from RP-2014 tables to Pub-2010 tables, with
adjustments.
81
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP-2018 to Scale MP-2019.
The assumed spouse age difference was changed from two years older for females to one
year older.
The assumed number of married male new retirees electing the 100% Joint & Survivor option
changed from 35% to 45%. The assumed number of married female new retirees electing the
100% Joint & Survivor option changed from 15% to 30%. The corresponding number of
married new retirees electing the Life annuity option was adjusted accordingly.
Changes in Plan Provisions:
Augmentation for current privatized members was reduced to 2.0% for the period July 1,
2020 through December 31, 2023 and 0.0% after. Augmentation was eliminated for
privatizations occurring after June 30, 2020.
Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2018 to MP-2019.
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:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic Stock 35.5% 5.10%
Internal Stock 17.5% 5.30%
Bonds (Fixed Income) 20.0% 0.75%
Alernative Assets (Private Markets) 25.0% 5.90%
Cash 2.0% 0.00%
Total 100%
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2020 was 7.5%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members
and employers will be made at the rate set in Minnesota statutes. Based on that assumption, the
fiduciary net position of the GERF and the PEPFF 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.

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

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 $176,560 and $166,649 in State Aid to the Association for December
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This transaction is recorded as revenue and expenditures in the
City’s financial statements.
During December 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2020, the Association held no securities
issued by the City or other related parties.
10. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
In addition to providing the pension benefits described in Note 7, 8 and 9, the City provides post
employment health care benefits, as defined in paragraph B, through its group health insurance
plan (the plan). The plan is a single-employer defined benefit OPEB plan 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. No assets are
accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75.
84
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
B. Benefits Provided
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.
The City provides health coverage for peace officers or firefighters disabled or killed in the line of
duty in accordance with Minnesota Statute 299A.465. The amount of coverage provided is equal
to the employer portion of health insurance premiums that would have otherwise been paid if the
officer or firefighter was an active employee. During 2020, benefits were provided to three
officers disabled in the line of duty.
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 age 65, Medicare
becomes the primary insurer.
C. Participants
As of the January 1, 2019 actuarial valuation date, participants of the plan consisted of:

E. Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs
The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, as updated to the
measurement date of January 1, 2020 was determined using the following actuarial assumptions
and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases 3.00%
Discount rate 2.90%
20-year muncipal bond yield 3.80%
Healthcare cost trend rates 6.5% in 2019 decreasing to 5.00% over 6 years.
Retirees' share of benefit-related costs 100%
Since the plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, both the discount rate and the investment rate
of return was based on published rate information for 20-year high quality, tax exempt, general
obligation municipal bonds as of the measurement date.
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Mortality tables (Blue Collar for Public Safety, White
Collar for others) with MP-2018 generational improvement scale.
The actuarial assumptions (retirement withdrawal) used in the January 1, 2019 valuation are
similar to those used to value pension liabilities for Minnesota public employees. The state
pension plans base their assumptions on periodic experience studies.

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, 2020, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $13,603,533,
compared to its targeted unassigned fund balance of between $6,497,502 and $9,282,145.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
A. Risk Managements
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 $25,000 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
91
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
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.
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, 2020, the Self Insurance Fund has accumulated equity in the amount of
$953,380 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, 2020.
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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
The City has four 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

16. Conduit Debt Obligation
From time to time, the City has issued Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to
private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed
to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from
payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the
acquired facilities transfers to the private-sector entity served by the bond issuance. Neither the City, the
State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds.
Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
As of December 31, 2020, there are four series outstanding issued after July 1, 1995 with an aggregate
principal amount payable of $45,167,365. There were twenty-two series issued prior to July 1, 1995. The
aggregate principal amount payable for the twenty-two series could not be determined; however, their
original issue amounts totaled $65.2 million.

1Overlapping 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.
