INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Shorewood, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements
as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 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
City’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 City’s internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of
December 31, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary
comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

Change in Accounting Standards
As described in Note 8 to the financial statements, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standard Board
(GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and
Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date - an Amendment of GASB
Statement No. 68, for the year ended December 31, 2015. Adoption of the provisions of these statements results in significant change
to the classifications of the components of the financial statements.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis
starting on page 19 and the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability and the Schedules of Employer’s
Contributions on page 78 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing
the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’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 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 section and statistical section 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Shorewood, Minnesota, (the 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, 2015.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close
of the most recent fiscal year by $30,398,490 (net position). Of this amount, $13,290,048 (unrestricted net position) may be
used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to residents and creditors.
• The beginning unrestricted net position was decreased by $1,254,080 to recognize the effects of GASB Statement No. 68
implementation.
• The City’s total net position decreased $27,169, which is due to expenses in excess of revenues in business-type activities.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$7,838,036, an increase of $387,906 in comparison with the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of revenues
exceeding expenditures. Approximately 56 percent of this total amount, $4,402,951, is unassigned and available for
spending at the City’s discretion.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General fund was $4,402,951, or 82.5 percent of total
2015 expenditures and transfers out. The City has a policy to maintain a General fund working capital balance of 55.0 -
60.0 percent of expenditures and transfers.
• The City’s total debt increased $105,576, or 1.0 percent during the current fiscal year. This was the result of recording the
net pension liability in relation to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 68 offset by regularly scheduled principal and interest
payments.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial
statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the
financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Figure 1 illustrates how the required parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required
elements, we have included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about
nonmajor governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial statements.

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 position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City 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 revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of
their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general
government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, and interest on long-term debt. The business-type activities of the
City include water, sewer, stormwater management utility, and recycling.
-21-
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also a legally
separate Economic Development Authority (EDA) for which the City is financially accountable. The EDA, although legally separate,
functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary
government.
The government-wide financial statements start on page 33 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 financing
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 statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in
fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains 12 individual governmental funds, four of which are Debt Service 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, Debt Service, and Street Reconstruction funds, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other six
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements or schedules elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the
General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 38 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. 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 water, sewer,
stormwater management utility, and recycling.
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 each of the enterprise funds. The Water, Sewer, and Stormwater
Management Utility funds are considered to be major funds of the City, while the Recycling fund is a nonmajor fund.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 46 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. 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 statements can be found on page 50 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 start on page 51 of this report.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented
following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules starts on page 82 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 and deferred inflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $30,398,490 at the close of the most
recent fiscal year.
Of the City’s net position 56.3 percent reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less
any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City 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.

* GASB Statement No. 68 was implemented for the year ended December 31, 2015 and required a $967,509 restatement of beginning
net position for governmental activities and $286,571 restatement for business-type activities. Prior year amounts were not restated
causing a variance in ending net position at December 31, 2014 and beginning net position January 1, 2015.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
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, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $7,838,036, an
increase of $387,906 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 56 percent of this total amount, $4,402,951 constitutes
unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remaining fund balance is made up of the
following: 1) Nonspendable ($99,216), 2) Restricted ($31,805), and 3) Assigned ($3,304,064).
The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year, the fund balance of the General fund was
$4,502,167. As a measure of the General fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund
balance to total fund expenditures and transfers out. Unassigned fund balance represents 82.5 percent of same year fund expenditures
and transfers out, whereas, total fund balance represents 84.3 percent.
The fund balance of the City’s General fund increased $416,696 during the current fiscal year.
The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $31,805, all of which is restricted for the payment of debt service. The increase in
fund balance of $6,151 was in line with the City’s debt service financing plan.
The Street Reconstruction fund has a fund balance of $1,453,048. The fund balance decreased by $83,624 during the current fiscal
year due to expenditures for various capital projects.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net position of the enterprise funds at the end of the year amounted to $6,572,980. The
total decrease in net position for the funds was $35,502. Other factors concerning the finances of this fund have already been
addressed in the discussion of the City’s business-type activities.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City’s General fund budget was not amended during the year. The budget called for the planned use of General fund reserves in
the amount of $142,178. Revenues were over budget by $255,527, and expenditures were under budget by $303,347. The actual
amounts were different from the final budget amounts because of the following:
• The largest revenue variance was in licenses and permits, which were over budget by $127,797 due to building permits
received in excess of expectations. Another significant revenue variance was in miscellaneous, which was over budget by
$68,349 which was due to additional refunds and reimbursements.
• The largest expenditure variances were in general government and public works, which were $59,923 and $283,350 under
budget, respectively. The general government department was under budget due to Mayor and City Council and Municipal
Building expenditures. The public works department was under budget due to General Maintenance and Snow and Ice
Removal expenditures.

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, 2015,
amounts to $19,988,442 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, structures, improvements,
machinery and equipment, park facilities, and roads. Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
• Completion of various projects including two dump trucks, Valleywood Street Reconstruction, Sunnyvale Street
Reconstruction, 2014 Mill & Overlay project, and the 2015 Mill & Overlay project.
• Progress made on various projects including Star Lane & Star Circle Street and Utility projects, 2015 sealcoat project,
Excelsior Blvd Trail project, and the Smithtown Road East sidewalk extension.

Long-term debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $9,300,000. Of this amount,
$7,400,000 is lease revenue bonds and $1,900,000 is general obligation revenue bonds. While all of the City’s bonds have dedicated
revenue streams pledged to repayment, the general obligation revenue bonds are all backed by the full faith and credit of the City.

Minnesota statutes limit the amount of net general obligation debt a City may issue to 3 percent of the market value of taxable
property within the City. Net debt is debt payable solely from ad valorem taxes. Additional information on the City’s long-term debt
can be found in Note 3D starting on page 66 of this report.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
• The City has experienced increases in residential property values, particularly on higher value properties around Lake
Minnetonka, but lower value home prices seem to be trending up in line with the entire region.
• Unemployment trends in the region compare favorably to national indices.
• The 2016 budget was developed to continue using General fund balance to bring the overall balance down to the policy level
while continuing to provide the same service levels to the public.
• The property tax levy for the 2016 budget was increased 3 percent from the 2015 budget.
All of these factors were taken into account in preparing the City’s budget for the 2016 fiscal year. During the 2015 fiscal year, the
fund balance in the General fund increased by $416,696. For 2016, the City budgeted an $180,148 deficit using fund balance to
balance the budget. This planned use of fund balance was in accordance with the Fund Balance Policy adopted by the City Council.
Other than balancing the budget, possible uses of fund balance in excess of the policy level include one-time projects, and transfers to
capital project funds as determined by the City Council.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because
Total net change in fund balances - governmental funds 387,906$
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation
expense.
Capital outlays 885,402
Depreciation expense (1,084,430)
A gain or loss on the disposal of capital assets, including the difference between carrying value and any
related sales proceeds, is included in net position. However, only the sales proceeds are included
in the change in the change in fund balance.30,000
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are amortized in the statement of activities.
Principal repayments 735,000
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.12,574
Long-term pension activity is not reported in governmental funds.
Pension expense 10,912
Capital assets constructed in capital projects funds but intended for enterprise fund use
are transferred in the government-wide financial statements.(245,121)
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as it is earned. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available
to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Delinquent taxes (18,051)
Special assessments (1,222)
Leases (692,391)
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting entity
The City of Shorewood, Minnesota (the City), operates under the “Optional Plan A” form of government as defined in
the State of Minnesota statutes. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a City Council composed of an
elected Mayor and four elected City Council members. The City Council exercises legislative authority and determines
all matters of policy. The City Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating
to the City. The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for
which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City’s
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set
forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority
of an organization’s governing body, and (1) the ability of the City to impose its will on that organization or (2) the
potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the City. Blended
component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these
units are combined with data of the City. The City has the following component unit:
Blended component unit
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City was created pursuant to Minnesota statutes 469.090 through
469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment consistent within the City in accordance
with policies established by the City Council. The EDA Board is comprised of the members of the City Council and has
a December 31 year end. Because the EDA’s Board is the same as the City Council, and the EDA creates both financial
benefits and burdens for the primary government, the EDA is blended and reported in the Debt Service fund. Separate
financial statements are not issued for this component unit.
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 City and its component unit. 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 segment is offset
by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.
Amounts reported as 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 segment and 2) grants and contributions
(including special assessments) that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are
recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon
as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 60 days 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, licenses 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 City.
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is
recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the
year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include
property taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the
year for which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all
eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year
when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the
City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the
resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange
transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.
Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and
entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund is the City’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 accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on
long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
The Street Reconstruction fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for the periodic
reconstruction of City streets and roadways.
-52-
CITY OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water distribution system.
The Sewer fund accounts for the activities of the City’s sewage collection system.
The Stormwater Management Utility fund accounts for the activities of the City’s stormwater collection system.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf of others.
The agency fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations or have a measurement focus.
Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. This fund is used to account for assets that the
City holds for certain residents, developers, and other parties that are involved with escrow related projects within
the City.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s water and sewer function and various other functions of
the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions concerned.
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 water, sewer, stormwater management
utility, and recycling 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.

D. Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and net position/fund balance
Deposits and investments
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments
with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The proprietary funds’ portion in the
government-wide cash and temporary investments pool is considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the
statements of cash flows.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of
the funds.
The City may invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows:
1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received
the highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have
a final maturity of thirteen months or less.
3. General obligations of a state or local government with taxing powers rated “A” or better; revenue obligations
rated “AA” or better.
4. General obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better.
5. Obligation of a school district with an original maturity not exceeding 13 months and (i) rated in the highest
category by a national bond rating service or (ii) enrolled in the credit enhancement program pursuant to statute
section 126C.55.
6. Bankers’ acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
7. Commercial paper issued by United States banks corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less.
8. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial institutions
qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve
System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers.
9. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC’s) issued or guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, a domestic
branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt
obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency.
The City’s investment policy has further restricted the City’s investments to items 1, 2, 3, and 7 above. Investments for
the City are reported at fair value. Earnings on investments are allocated to the individual funds based upon the average
cash and investment balances.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Property taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy in December and certifies it to the County for collection in the following
year. 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 two installments. The taxes are
collected by the County Auditor and tax settlements are made to the City during January, July and December each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years’ uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a deferred
inflow of resources for delinquent taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the governmental fund financial
statements.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. All trade receivables are shown net of
an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2015 is $27,319.
Unbilled utility enterprise fund receivables are also included for services provided in 2015. The City annually certifies
delinquent water and sewer accounts to the County for collection in the following year. Therefore, there has been no
allowance for doubtful accounts established in the enterprise funds.
Special assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners. These
assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County. Special assessments are recognized as revenue
when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental assessments receivable are offset by a
deferred inflow of resources in the fund financial statements.
Lease receivable
The City has a total of five leases receivable. Three of the leases are related to public safety buildings that the City has
leased to the Excelsior Fire District and the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department. The other two leases were
issued to the Excelsior Fire District for equipment financing assistance. As of December 31, 2015, the City has
$6,591,974 of leases receivable outstanding.
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 of the City are accounted for using the consumption
method.

Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and
similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an estimated useful life in excess of one year.
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets
are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. For financial statement purposes only, a capitalization
threshold is established for each capital asset category as follows:

Infrastructure 100,000
Other assets 5,000
In the case of initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the
City chose to include items dating back to June 30, 1980. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial
reporting of these assets through backtrending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be
capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition
year). As the City constructs or acquires capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized
and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially
amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful
life beyond the original estimate.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives:

Assets in Years
Land improvements 15 - 20
Buildings and improvements 7 - 40
System improvements/infrastructure 20 - 50

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Deferred outflows 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 City has only one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, deferred
pension resources, is reported only in the statements of net position. This item results from actuarial calculations and
current year pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions
to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA
except that PERA’s fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll
paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
Compensated absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate a portion of earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits.
Accumulated vacation and sick pay are accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund
financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for
example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. In the case of an employee leaving, the General fund
would be responsible for liquidation of the liability.
Postemployment benefits other than pensions
Under Minnesota statute 471.61, subdivision 2b., public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to continue
coverage indefinitely in an employer-sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1) Retirees must be
receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan, 2) Coverage must continue in group
plan until age 65, and retirees must pay no more than the group premium, and 3) Retirees may obtain dependent
coverage immediately before retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. It was determined, in
accordance with GASB Statement 45, at December 31, 2015 that the City has a zero liability.
Long-term obligations
In the government-wide financial statement 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 position. The recognition of bond premiums and discounts are
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the period incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, 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. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Deferred inflows of resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and fund financial statements 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 and so will not be recognized as an
inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has only one type of item, which arises only under a
modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies as needing to be reported in this category. Accordingly, the item,
unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report
unavailable revenues from two sources: property taxes and lease receivables. These amounts are deferred and recognized
as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. Furthermore, the City has an additional item
which qualifies for reporting in this category on the statement of net position. The item, deferred pension resources, is
reported only in the statement of net position and results from actuarial calculations involving net differences between
projected and actuarial earnings on plan investments and changes in proportions.
Fund balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which
the City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds. These
classifications are defined as follows:
Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items, land
held for resale, and amounts due from other funds.
Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of
the City Council, which is the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used
for any other purpose unless the City Council modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In governmental funds other than
the General fund, assigned fund balance represents all remaining amounts that are not classified as nonspendable
and are neither restricted nor committed. In the General fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established
by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates the authority. The City Council
has adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the City
Administrator.
Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available.
Additionally, the City would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund
balance when expenditures are made.
The City has formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General fund. The City’s policy is to maintain a minimum
unassigned fund balance of 55-60 percent of operating expenditures for cash-flow timing needs.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Net position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources. Net position is displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any
outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
b. Restricted net position - Consists of net position balances restricted when there are limitations imposed on their
use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Unrestricted net position - All other net position balances that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net
investment in capital assets”.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources
first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Note 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for the General fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The City does not use encumbrance
accounting.
In August of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the City Administrator so that a
budget may be prepared. Before September 30, the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. In early
December, the City Council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City’s department heads, with the approval of the
City Administrator, may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments require the approval of the City Council. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.
The City’s budget was not amended during the year.

Note 3: DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Deposits and investments
Deposits
Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits and
investments may not be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an
outside party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the City Council, the City maintains deposits
at those depository banks, 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 fair value of
collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds.
Authorized collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes:
• United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds;
• Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry quotation
service available to the government entity;
• General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “A” or better
by a national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing
powers which is rated “AA” or better by a national bond rating service;
• General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against
funds deposited by that same local government entity;
• Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by
written evidence that the bank’s public debt is rated “AA” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or
Standard & Poor’s Corporation; and
• Time deposits that are fully insured by any Federal agency.
Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a Federal Reserve
Bank, or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or
controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The selection should be approved by the government
entity.
At year end, the City’s carrying amount of deposits was $1,594,496 and the bank balance was $1,388,686. The entire
bank balance was covered by Federal depository insurance or by collateral held by the City’s agent in the City’s name.
Investments
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market fund (the 4M fund) is a customized cash management and investment program
for Minnesota public funds. Sponsored and governed by the League of Minnesota Cities since 1987, the 4M fund is a
unique investment alternative designed to address the daily and long-term investment needs of Minnesota cities and other
municipal entities. Allowable under Minnesota statutes, the 4M fund is comprised of top quality, rated investments.
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market fund and broker money market investment pools operate in accordance with
appropriate State laws and regulations. The 4M fund is regulated by Minnesota statutes and the Board of Directors of the
League of Minnesota Cities and is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC); however, it follows the same regulatory rules of the SEC under rule 2a7. The reported value of the
pool is the same as the fair value of the pool share. Financial statements of the 4M fund can be obtained by contracting
RBC Global Asset Management at 100 South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1240.

The investments of the City are subject to the following risks:
• Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Ratings are provided by various credit rating agencies and where applicable, indicate associated
credit risk. Minnesota statutes and the City’s investment policy limit the City’s investments to the list on
page 54 of the notes.
• Custodial Credit Risk. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. In accordance with the City’s investment policy, the
investment officer shall structure all investments, deposits and repurchase agreements so that the custodial risk
is categorized as either insured or registered, or securities held by the City or its agent in the City’s name or
uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty’s trust department or agent in the City’s
name. All investments are placed in safekeeping at financial institutions.
• Concentration of Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a
government’s investment in a single issuer. In accordance with the City’s investment policy, the City diversifies
its investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specific
maturity, a specific issuer or a specific class of securities. As of December 31, 2015 the City had invested
5.0 percent or more of its total investment portfolio in the following issuers: Columbia County GA, 6.7 percent,
and Illinois State Taxable, 6.6 percent.
• Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. In accordance with its investment policy and also detailed in the description of concentration of
credit risk, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair values by “laddering” their investment maturities to
ensure that a portion of the portfolio is maturing monthly, or as needed to meet projected expenditures. The
City also permits no more than 30 percent of total investments to extend beyond five (5) years and does not
directly invest in securities maturing more than 15 years from the date of purchase.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE
A. Plan description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are established
and administered in accordance with Minnesota statutes, chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined benefit pension plans
are tax qualified plans under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Retirement Fund
(GERF). GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are
covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. The Basic Plan was closed to new members in 1967. All
new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan.
B. Benefits provided
PERA provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by Minnesota statute and can
only be modified by the state legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding ratio of the plan.
Members in plans that are at least 90 percent funded for two consecutive years are given 2.5 percent increases. Members
in plans that have not exceeded 90 percent funded, or have fallen below 80 percent, are given 1 percent increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active plan
participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the
provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
GERF benefits
Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and
years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic
Plan members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level
accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average
salary for each of the first ten years of service and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a
Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.7 percent for each
remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and
1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full
annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or
after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
C. Contributions
Minnesota statutes, chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution rates can only be
modified by the state legislature.
GERF contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.10 percent and 6.50 percent,
respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2015. The City was required to contribute 11.78 percent of
pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50 percent for Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2015. The City’s
contributions to the GERF for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $93,614, $89,427 and $86,064,
respectively. The City’s contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by
Minnesota statute.

D. Pension costs
GERF pension costs
At December 31, 2015, the City reported a liability of $1,088,330 for its proportionate share of the GERF’s net pension
liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total pension liability used to calculate the
net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportion of the net pension
liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll
paid dates from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 relative to the total employer contributions received from all of
PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2015, the City’s proportionate share was 0.021 percent which was a
decrease of 0.003 percent from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2014.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the City recognized pension expense of $76,424 for its proportionate share of
GERF’s pension expense.
At December 31, 2015, the City reported its proportionate share of GERF’s deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources, and its contributions subsequent to the measurement date, from the following sources:
Deferred Deferred
Outflows Inflows

Differences between expected and
actual experience 11,535$ 54,870$

Changes in proportion - 121,738
Contributions to GERF subsequent
to the measurement date 47,057 -
Total 124,928$ 273,489$
Deferred outflows of resources totaling $47,057 related to pensions resulting from the City’s contributions to GERF
subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended
December 31, 2016. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to GERF pensions
will be recognized in pension expense as follows:

DECEMBER 31, 2015
Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE - CONTINUED
E. Actuarial assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions:
Inflation 2.75% per year
Active member payroll growth 3.50% per year
Investment rate of return 7.90%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors and
disabilitants were based on RP-2000 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments. Cost of living
benefit increases for retirees are assumed to be: 1 percent effective every January 1st until 2034, then 2.5 percent for
GERF.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2015 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The
experience study in the GERF was for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2008, with an update of economic
assumptions in 2014. Experience studies have not been prepared for PERA’s other plans, but assumptions are reviewed
annually.
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions in 2015.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 7.9 percent. The State Board of Investment, which
manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness of the long-term expected rate of return on
a regular basis 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 arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class
Domestic stocks 45.00 %5.50 %
International stocks 15.00 6.00
Bonds 18.00 1.45
Alternative assets 20.00 6.40
Cash 2.00 0.50
Total 100.00 %
Target Expected Real
Allocation Rate of Return
Long-term
F. Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.9 percent. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the rate specified in
statute. Based on that assumption, each of the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. 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.

A. South Lake Minnetonka Police Department
The City participates in a joint powers agreement with the cities of Excelsior, Greenwood and Tonka Bay, which
establishes the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (the Department) for the purpose of providing police
protection within the four communities. The agreement creates a coordinating committee, comprised of the Mayors of
each participating community, as the governing body, which meets quarterly. Each year, the coordinating committee
adopts an operating budget, which is approved by all participating cities. The cost of the operating budget is divided
between the participating cities based upon a five-year average demand for service in each City.
Any budget shortfall is made up first from department reserves, with any excess shortfall assessed to each participating
community according to the formula. The most recent year of audited information is December 31, 2015.
Separate financial statements can be obtained by writing to the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department,

Note 6: OTHER INFORMATION
A. Risk management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters for which the City carries insurance. The City obtains insurance
through participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) which is a risk sharing pool with
approximately 800 other governmental units. The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT for its workers compensation
and property and casualty insurance. The LMCIT is self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure for
claims above a prescribed dollar amount for each insurance event. Settled claims have not exceeded the City’s coverage
in any of the past three fiscal years.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The City’s
management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims.
B. Legal debt margin
The City’s statutory debt limit is $43,675,353 computed as three percent of $1,455,845,111, which is the taxable market
value of property within the City. Long-term debt issued and financed partially or entirely by special assessments, tax
increments or the net revenues of enterprise fund operations is excluded from the debt limit computation. The City has
no debt that is subject to the statutory debt limit.
C. Southshore Community Center
On July 1, 2009, the City entered into an agreement to take over operations of the Southshore Community Center. The
City also contracted with Community Recreation Resources (CRR) for the operation, management, and programming of
the Southshore Community Center. The contract with CRR was for the period of July 1, 2009 to July 1, 2012 with an
option to renew for another three years or renegotiate. The contract was re-negotiated in January, 2012. The City agreed
to pay CRR $5,000 per month for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. During this time, the City paid a
15 percent commission on monthly revenues to CRR. A quarterly bonus commission of five percent was due if the
quarterly program and rental income exceeded $13,500. The contract was subsequently extended on a month by month
basis through March 31, 2013 when CRR ceased to provide services as the Southshore Community Center management
company.
Note 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Note 8: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
During 2015, the City implemented several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB), including Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an Amendment of
GASB Statement No. 27 and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement
Date - an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, for the year ended December 31, 2015. These standards required a
retroactive implementation which resulted in the restatement of beginning balances in the December 31, 2014 financial

Sources : Market value data used to estimate applicable percentages provided by the County Board of Equalization
and Assessment. Debt outstanding data provided by the county.
Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and
businesses of the City. This process recognized that, when considering the government'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.
* The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable market property values. Applicable
percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the county's taxable market value that is within the City's
boundaries and dividing it by the county's total taxable market value.
