Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Shorewood
Shorewood, Minnesota
Dear Council Members:
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota
for the year ended December 31, 1989 and have issued our report dated March 23,
1990. We have not performed any substantive auditing procedures subsequent to
that date. As part of our audit, we have made a study and evaluation of the
City's system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered
necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing
standards. The purpose of our study and evaluation was to determine the
nature, timing and extent of the auditing procedures necessary for expressing
an opinion on the financial statements.
Our study and evaluation, made for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph, would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the
system. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of internal
accounting control of the City of Shorewood taken as a whole. Our study and
evaluation disclosed that even though the City has a small office staff, your
organization has segregation of duties to the extent practicable. Internal
accounting control contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no
one individual handles a transaction from inception to completion. While we
recognize that your organization is not large enough to permit an adequate
segregation of duties in all respects, it is important, however, that you are
aware of this condition.
The following is a listing of other items that warrant your review:
Special Assessments
Special assessments are a significant revenue source earmarked to repay bond
principal and interest. The Deputy City Clerk is responsible for maintaining
the assessment records, certifying new assessment roles to the County and
collecting and notifying the County of any amounts prepaid. Currently, the
Finance Department is not involved in maintaining, updating or reconciling the
assessment records with the County.
We recommend the Finance Department be responsible for superv1s1ng the
maintenance, certification and reconciliation of special assessment records.

Currently, the City is assessing an equalization charge against properties
hooking into the sewer system. The assessments, if not prepaid, are certified
to the County for collection over a four year period. The assessments are
credited to the 1971 and 1972 Sewer Improvement Bond Fund (the bonds are now
defeased).
1
1
We recommend in the future the City consider using a hookup charge or an
availability charge system payable in one installment. This fee would be
credited to the Sewer Operating Fund and be designated for future repair and
maintenance. We believe this type of a system would be easier to administer.
1
Contract Documents
1
During the audit we examined various contract and bid documents. The bid
documents we reviewed were in the files of the public works department and
other contract documents were not readily accessible.
1
We recommend all contract, bid and other legal documents be centrally filed in
a neat and orderly manner for ease of reference.
1
General Fund
1
The fund balance at December 31, 1989 was $953,875 which is an increase of
$182,277 over the prior year. The fund balance is approximately fifty percent
of the 1989 budgeted expenditures.
1
The entire fund balance in 1989 is designated for working capital. In prior
years the fund balance required for working capital was included as part of the
undesignated balance. The designation is in response to a League memo dated
April 16, 1990 in which they suggested the fund balance required for working
capital be specifically identified. In addition, a portion of the fund balance
beyond your working capital requirements should be designated for contingencies,
capital outlay program requirements, etc, as appropriate.
1
1
The fund balances of cities will be a topic of considerable discussion as the
legislature struggles with its own budget problems.
1
Debt Service Funds
1989 Transactions
1
During 1989 several debt service transactions took place. The 1971 and 1972
Sewer Improvement bonds outstanding were defeased. The fund balance of
$409,887 plus the special assessments receivable are available to be used at
the Council's discretion for any public purpose. The Council should
carefully examine all the opportunities available for the use of these funds.
It is a source of funds available to the City which cannot be replenished.
1
1
In addition, permanent bonds were issued to replace the temporary bonds
issued to finance the Shorewood Oaks improvements.

1974 Sewer Improvement
1
The fund balance plus the future special assessments will not be sufficient
to repay all the bonds outstanding. An additional source of funding will be
required over the remaining four years of the bond.
1
Southeast Project
1
This fund has a fund balance deficit of $90,541 at year end. Financing sources
have been identified to eliminate this deficit. The deficit will be eliminated
by a transfer from the Southeast Water Debt Service Fund. The transfer was
reviewed and approved by the City's bond counsel.
1
Water Enterprise Fund
1
The Water Fund reported operating income of $12,418 in 1989. The fund still
has a cash deficit of $36,615 at year end. Because the revenues have not been
sufficient, the G.O. Water Revenue Bonds have been repaid through a tax levy.
1
We recommend the Council review the Water Fund operation and establish rates
which are sufficient to cover the fund's operating costs, meet its debt service
requirements, and establish cash reserves for major maintenance needs.
1
Sewer Fund
1
In 1989 the estimated costs of Sewer Improvements prior to 1978 were recorded
in the City's accounting records. The additional depreciation recorded in the
1989 expenses was $160,638. Because of this the Sewer Fund reported a net loss
of $49,596 in 1989 compared to a net income of $29,454 the previous year.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Shorewood, Minnesota
I
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the
City of Shorewood, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 1989 as listed in
the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
City of Shorewood, Minnesota's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
I
I
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
I
I
I
Because the City does not maintain general fixed assets records which provide
complete accounting control over quantities and original costs of all property,
it is impracticable 'to audit the accompanying financial statements of the General
Fixed Assets Account Group, and therefore, we express no opinion on them.
I
I
In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements of such
adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we
audited the General Fixed Assets Account Group, the general purpose financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota at December 31, 1989 and
the results of its operations and changes in financial position and statement
of cash flows of its Proprietary Fund Types for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
I
I
I
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an oplnlon on the general purpose
financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund
financial statements listed in the table of contents are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general
purpose financial statements of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
I
A. City Structure and Scope of the Entity
I
The City of Shorewood operates under "Optional Plan A" as defined
in the State of Minnesota Statutes. Under this Plan, the
the government of the City is, directed by a Council composed of
an elected mayor and four elected trustees or council members.
The Council exercises legislative authority and determines all
matters of policy. The Council appoints personnel responsible
for the proper administration of all affairs relating to the
City.
I
I
For financial reporting purposes, in conformance with section
2100 of the Governmental Accounting and Reporting Standards of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the City's
financial statements and footnotes include all Boards and
Commissions over which City officials exercise oversight
responsibility.
I
I
I
Oversight responsibility includes such aspects as appointment of
governing body members, budget review, approval of property tax
levies, outstanding debt secured by City full faith and credit
or revenues, responsibility for funding deficits, and others.
I
I
The accounting policies of the City of Shorewood conform to
generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant
policies.
B.
Basis of Presentation
I
I
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and
account groups, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted
for with a separate set of se~f-balancing accounts that comprise
its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures,
or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated
to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes
for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped, in
the financial statements in this report, into four generic fund
types and two broad fund type categories as follows:
I
I
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
I
I
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of
the City and accounts for all revenues and expenditures not
required to be accounted for in another fund.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Debt Service Funds - The Debt Service Funds are used to account
for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of,
general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs.
Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds account for all
resources used for the acquisition and construction of major
capital facilities.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for
operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the
governing body is that the costs (expenses, including
depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general
public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily
through user charges; or (b) where the revenues earned, expenses
incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability,
or other purposes.
Fixed Assets and Long-term Liabilities Account Groups
The Governmental Fund Types previously discussed are designed to
account for the financial flow of a particular fund; therefore,
generally include only current assets and current liabilities on
their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance is considered
a measure of available spendable resources. The City also
maintains two account groups for noncurrent assets and
liabilities. These account groups are concerned only with
the measurement of financial position. They are as follows:
General Fixed Assets Group of Accounts (unaudited) -
This separate group of accounts contains the fixed assets
used in the Governmental Fund Type operations. They are
assets of the City as a whole and not of individual funds.
Public domain general fixed assets consisting of certain
improvements other than buildings, including curbs and
gutters, streets and sidewalks and drainage systems, are
capitalized along with other general fixed assets. No
depreciation has been provided on the assets in this account
group.
All fixed assets are valued at historical or estimated
historical cost. Donated fixed assets are valued at their
estimated fair value on the date donated.

General Long-term Debt Group of Accounts - This separate
group of accounts contains the long-term liabilities of
the City expected to be financed from Governmental Funds.
They are liabilities of the City as a whole and not of
individual funds. The exception to this rule is for
Enterprise Fund long-term debt which is accounted for in
that fund type.
All Proprietary Funds are accounted for on a cost of
services or capital maintenance measurement focus.
Therefore, all assets and liabilities, both current and
noncurrent, are included on their balance sheets. All
fixed assets are stated at historical or estimated
historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-
line method over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation on contributed assets is also charged to
operations. Their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets
Furniture and
Equipment
Distribution and
Collection System
Estimated
Useful Lives
10 years
40 years
C.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or
expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the
financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus
app lied.
Governmental Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Their revenue is recognized when it becomes
measurable and available. Substantially all sources of revenue
are accrued except special assessments which are recognized when
received in cash and tax revenue which is recognized when received
in cash or within sixty days after year end.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified
accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability
is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include: (1)
principal and interest on long-term debt which are recognized when
due.
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of
accounting. Their revenue is recognized when it is earned and
expenses are recognized when they are incurred.

D. Budgets and Budgetary Data
I
The City's budgeting procedures are as follows:
I
The City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the
following January 1. The operating budget includes
proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
Budgets for the General Fund are adopted on a basis
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). Budgeted amounts shown in the financial statements
are as originally adopted by the City Council. Unencumbered
appropriations lapse at year end.
I
I
E. Accumulated Unpaid Vacation and Sick Pay
I
Accumulated unpaid vacation has been accrued in the Enterprise
Funds and recognized as an expense when earned. In the Governmental
Funds, the liability has been recorded in the general long-term
debt account group and is recognized as an expenditure when paid.
Sick leave may be accumulated but is not payable upon termination
from City employment and therefore no liability is reported at
year end.
I
I
F. Total Memorandum Only
I
Total columns on the combined financial statements are captioned
"memorandum only" to indicate that they are presented only to
facilitate analysis. Data in these columns does not present
financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial

A. Cash and Temporary Investments
I
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the
extent available, in certificates of deposit and other authorized
investments. Investments are carried at cost which approximates
market value. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the
basis of applicable participation by each of the funds.
I
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits
at those depository banks authorized by the City Council.
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 (140% in the case of mortgage notes pledged).
Authorized collateral includes the legal investments described
below, as well as certain first mortgage notes, and certain other
State or local government obligations. 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. At December 31, 1989, the City did
have sufficient collateral to secure its deposits.

B.
Property Taxes
I
I
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to
the County for collection. The County is responsible for
collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an
enforceable lien on taxable property within the City on January 1
and are payable by the property owners in May and October each
year. The taxes are collected by the County Treasurer and tax
settlements are made to the City three or four times each year.
I
I
Taxes payable on homestead property, as defined by State Statutes,
are partially reduced by a homestead credit. These credits are
paid to the City by the State of Minnesota in lieu of taxes levied
against homestead property. The State remits this credit in two
equal installments in July and December each year.
I
I
Allowances are provided for the amount of delinquent taxes
receivable, which are not remitted to the City within sixty days
after the year end. This allowance is reported as deferred
revenue.

primary source of revenue to retire the bonds.
On April 29, 1987 the City issued general obligation refunding bonds
in the amount of $875,000 to advance refund $1,250,000 outstanding
1984 general obligation bonds. The proceeds of the refunding issue
plus additional cash from the debt service have been placed in an
irrevocable escrow account and have been invested in U.S. Government
obligations. The maturities of these investments coincide with the
principal and interest payment dates of the refunded bonds and have
been certified to be sufficient to pay all principal and interest on
the refunded bonds when due, as required by applicable laws.
Accordingly, the original refunded bonds have been removed and the new
advance refunding bonds are reported on the financial statements. The
City remains contingently liable in the remote possibility that the
escrow account is insufficient to pay the refunded bonds.

Note 6: Defined Benefit Pension Plan
A. Plan Description
I
I
I
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City of
Shorewood are covered by defined benefit pension plans administered
by the Public Employee Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA).
PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) which
is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement plan. PERF members
belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan.
Coordinated members are covered by Social Security and Basic
members are not. All new members must participate in the
Coordinated Plan. The payroll for employees covered by PERF for
the year ended December 31, 1989 was $430,445; the City's total
payroll was $491,940.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits
to members, and benefits to survivors upon death of eligible
members. Benefits are established by State Statute, and vest
after three years of credited service. The defined retirement
benefits are based on a member's average salary for any five
successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at
termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits
for Coordinated and Basic members. The retiring member receives
the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a
level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity
accrual rate for a Basic member is 2 percent of average salary for
each of the first 10 years of service and 2.5 percent for each
remaining year. For a Coordinated member, the annuity accrual
rate is 1 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years
and 1.5 percent for each remaining year. Using Method 2, the
annuity accrual rate is 2.5 percent of average salary for Basic
members and 1.5 percent for Coordinated members. For PERF members
whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is
available when age plus years of service equal 90.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon
retirement. A normal annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases
upon the death of the retiree. No survivor annuity is payable.
There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options
available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount,
because the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also
leave their contributions in the fund upon termination of public
service, in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement
age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to
members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits
begin.
B.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and
employee contributions. The City makes annual contributions to
the pension plans equal to the amount required by State Statutes.
According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356.215, Subd. 4(g), the
date of full funding required for the PERF is the year 2020. As
part of the annual actuarial valuation, PERA's actuary determines
the sufficiency of the statutory contribution rates towards
meeting the required full funding deadline. The actuary compares
the actual cntribution rate to a "required" contribution rate.
Current combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially
required contribution rates for the plans are as follows:

C. Funding Status and Progress
1.
Pension Benefit Obligations
I
I
The "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure
measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted
for the effects of projected salary increases and step-rate
benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result
of employee service to date. The measure, which is the
actuarial present value of credited projected benefits, is
intended to help users assess PERA's funding status on a
going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make
comparisons among Public Employees Retirement Systems and
among employers. PERA does not make separate measurements of
assets and pension benefit obligations for individual
employers.
I
I
I
The pension benefit obligations as of June 30, 1989, are

2. Changes in Actuarial Methods and Benefit Provisions
I
A number of benefit improvements became effective during
fiscal year 1989. Some of the major improvements affecting
each fund include a reduction in the period required for
vesting from five years to three years; an option for members
hired before July 1, 1989, to have their annuity calculated
under a level benefit accrual formula; the interest rate
credited on refunds of member contributions increased from 5
percent to 6 percent; and the provision for an automatic
bounce back feature for all joint and survivor annuity
options.
I
I
I
I
For each fund, there were changes in the actuarial assumptions
used in the annual actuarial valuation. Effective for all
funds beginning in fiscal year 1989, the preretirement
interest rate assumption was increased from 8 percent to 8.5
percent. Additionally for the PERF, the amortization target
date has been changed to 2020. Shown below are the effects
on the pension benefit obligation of these changes in plan
benefits and actuarial assumptions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE BASED SOLELY ON A
STUDY AND EVALUATION MADE AS A PART OF AN AUDIT
OF THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I
I
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Shorewood, Minnesota
I
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of
Shorewood, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1989, and have
issued our report thereon dated March 23, 1990.
I
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement.
I
I
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial
statements of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota for the year ended December 31,
1989, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general
purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal
control structure.
I
I
The management of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota is responsible for
establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies
and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide
management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that
transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and
recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or
irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of
any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that
procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may
deteriorate.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
I
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal
control structure policies and procedures in the following categories:
I
o Cash receipts
o Cash disbursements
o Payroll
I
I
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained
an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and whether
they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk.
I
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its
operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to
record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements.
I
I
Our study and evaluation disclosed that because of the limited size of your
office staff, your organization has limited segregation of duties. A good
system of internal control structure contemplates an adequate segregation of
duties so that no one individual handles a transaction from inception to
completion. While we recognize that your organization is not large enough to
permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects, it is important,
however, that you be aware of this reportable condition.
I
I
I
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation
of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that
would be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
I
I
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be reportable
conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable
conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above.
I
We also noted other matters involving the internal control structure and its
operation which have been reported to the management of the City of Shorewood,
Minnesota in a separate letter dated March 23, 1990.
I
I
This report is intended for the information of management and the State
Auditor's Office. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution
of this report, which is a matter of public record.

I
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of
Shorewood, Minnesota for the year ended December 31, 1989, and have issued our
report thereon dated March 23, 1990.
I
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement.
I
I
Our audit was also conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Legal
Compliance Audit Guide promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes. The Legal Compliance Audit Guide covers five main
categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and
investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, and claims and
disbursements. Ou~ study included all of the listed categories.
I
I
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to the City
of Shorewood is the responsibility of the City's management. As part of
obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants.
However, our objective was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with
such provisions.
I
I
I
The results of our tests indicate that, with respect to the items tested, the
City of Shorewood complied, in all material respects, with the provisions
referred to in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested,
nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City had not
complied, in all material respects, with those provisions.
