To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of the City of Cottage
Grove:
Minnesota statutes require all cities to submit an annual audited financial statement to the Office
of the State Auditor. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of the City of Cottage Grove for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information
contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control standards that
it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed
anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the
financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd., independent certified public accountants have issued an unmodified
(“clean”) opinion on the City of Cottage Grove’s financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2015. The independent auditors’ report is located at the front of the financial section of this
report.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’
report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in
conjunction with it.
Profile of the City
Cottage Grove was organized as a village on July 13, 1965 and was incorporated as a city on
January 1, 1974. Cottage Grove is a suburban community located on the southern border of
Washington County, sixteen miles southeast of Downtown St. Paul. The City currently occupies 34.3 square miles of land. The 2010 Census established the City population at 34,589; recent data estimates 2015 population at 35,814.
Cottage Grove operates as a Statutory Plan A City under Minnesota law. Policy making and
legislative authority are vested in a City Council, consisting of the Mayor and four other members, elected at large and on a non-partisan basis. Terms of office are staggered four year terms, with elections held in each even-numbered year. The City Council is responsible for passing ordinances,
adopting the budget and appointing members of the various citizens’ advisory boards. In addition,
the Mayor and Council appoint a full-time City Administrator, who is responsible for overall
supervision of City operations.
3
The City provides a full range of municipal services. These services include police and fire
protection, ambulance services, parks and park facilities, a golf course, recreational programming,
an ice arena, street construction and maintenance, water, sewer and storm water utilities, planning and zoning, and general administrative functions.
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Cottage Grove is a separate legal
entity organized pursuant to Minnesota Statute 469. There are seven members of the EDA who
are appointed by the City Council; two appointees are Council members and the five others are
appointed from the community. The EDA is included in this financial report as a discretely
presented component unit, due to the EDA’s relationship of financial benefit or burden to the City.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Cottage Grove’s financial planning and
control. The budget incorporates the City’s financial policies, financial operations, debt
management, reserves and investments. The process by which the biennial budget document is
prepared begins with the submission of department appropriation requests in June. The requests, along with projected revenues and stated City Council strategic goals, provide the starting point
for budget development. Collaborative meetings are held with City Staff and workshops are held
with the City Council to refine the budget document in advance of the submission of the
preliminary tax levy in September each year. The preliminary levy may be reduced after it is
adopted, but cannot be increased. An information session is held for taxpayers at the first City Council meeting in December in advance of adoption of the final levy and budget. The Council
is required to adopt a final budget by no later than December 28th of each year.
Local economy
Cottage Grove is part of the Minneapolis/St. Paul seven county metropolitan area; an economically
diverse environment with an equally diverse labor force. 2014 saw steady employment growth in
the region and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.9%, compared to the national rate of 5.6%.
However, as employment improved, wage growth and inflation remained subdued.
The City’s tax base is 80% residential and 20% commercial/industrial property. Total taxable
market value in 2015 was $2.7 billion; a recovery to almost 90% of pre-recessionary levels.
Moderate growth in value is expected for 2016, from both new construction and increases in
property values of existing building stock.
The City’s 600 acre business park is home to 1,150,000 square feet of industrial and manufacturing
businesses, including Up North Plastics, Leafline Labs, American Logistics, Renewal by
Andersen, and Werner Electric. Other major employers in the City include 3M Company, Target,
Menard’s, Walmart, and Aggregate Industries. The City's commercial areas include four
community shopping centers and several restaurants.
In 2015, Renewal by Andersen, Werner Electric and American Logistics all expanded their
facilities by a combined 300,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space, adding over
300 jobs to the Cottage Grove community. Additional businesses expected to locate in the Business
Park in 2016 will include Gardenworld, a garden product wholesaler.
4
Also in 2015 the City of Cottage Grove reached an agreement to purchase the long vacant Home
Depot building in the City’s Gateway North development. Purchase of this property was then parlayed into a three-way redevelopment agreement for the entire center which once housed not
only the Home Depot but a Rainbow Foods grocery store and several smaller tenant spaces
including a liquor store, restaurant and Hallmark card store. The redevelopment will include the
demolition of some of the old spaces, construction of a 92,800 sq. ft. Hy-Vee grocery store and
the sale of the former Home Depot property to a developer for repurposing into new tenant spaces. The project will break ground in late May 2016 and is expected to open in the fall of 2017.
Long-term financial planning
The City places a high priority on planning for future growth. Staff uses different long range revenue and expenditure models during the annual preparation of a biennial budget plan for the
General Fund, Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds. The biennial budget process allows for the
assurance that any change to revenues or expenditures is sustainable in the successive year.
Furthermore, Council and staff compile a five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which addresses the future building and infrastructure projects necessary to address the new residential
and commercial property outlined in the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
As part of the CIP, each capital project is analyzed to determine if sufficient funding exists for the
project and the longer term impact of each of the projects on the individual capital fund balances. For example, during the 2016 to 2020 period over $20 million in total Pavement Management
projects are anticipated. Pavement Management is not a full road reconstruction but rather a
reclamation or mill and overlay process to extend roadway life. Project funding for Pavement
Management is covered by a 45% / 55% cost split: special assessments against benefiting
properties with the balance of the costs covered by general obligation debt to be repaid by annual tax levies. Annual levies for debt repayment are balanced so that no more than 10% of any property
tax levy is for the repayment of debt.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City has financial policies and plans which establish the principles that guide staff and Council
members to make consistent and informed financial decisions. These policies and plans include:
• Fund balance policy
• Cash and investment management policy
• Debt management policy
• Capital improvements plan
• Infrastructure Maintenance Task Force (IMTF) policy
It is important for the financial stability of the City to maintain reserve funds for unanticipated
expenditures or unforeseen emergencies as well as to provide adequate working capital for current
operations without short term borrowing. The City’s fund balance policy identifies that the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund shall be no less than 55% of annual budgeted expenditures.
5
Major Initiatives
The population of Cottage Grove has increased from 833 in 1950 to 34,589 per the 2010 census. Most of the population of the City concentrates in two age groups 0 - 19 years, 32.5% and 30 - 50
years, 38.1%. According to the 2010 census, the average age is 35 years and the median family
income is $80,830. This median family income is 141% higher than the Twin Cities Metro Area.
Cottage Grove has evolved from a 1970’s bedroom community to a steadily growing suburb with an expanding commercial and industrial base. The 1990’s and early 2000’s saw a residential
development boom, with several years of building permits for single family homes numbering
over 300 per year. Residential development slowed significantly since 2007, averaging 60 new
building permits per year.
Master planning of the 4,000 acre “East Ravine” development occurred in 2003-2006.
Development of the first one thousand acres of low density residential housing with park and open
space amenities and nodes of commercial use was anticipated by 2015. In reality, development of
this area began in earnest in 2013 with the approval of two residential plats totaling 226 lots on
100 acres. Construction of 146 homes had been completed by the end of 2015. The City continues to encourage residential developers to pursue acreage for development in the master plan area.
The City strategy of growth in the residential and commercial/industrial areas, providing more
homes and jobs, will ultimately draw the additional retail storefronts and services the community
demands.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded
a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Cottage Grove for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was
the twenty-fifth consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. In order to
receive a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
Preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedicated service of the
Finance Department staff to whom I express my appreciation, especially Brenda Malinowski and
Cathy Mohr. Appreciation is also due to the Mayor, City Council members and City Administrator
for their support in maintaining a fiscally sound and stable organization in the service of its residents and business owners.

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the related notes to financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the 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.
15
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, as of December 31,
2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows
thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Implementation of GASB 68 and GASB 71
As discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements, the City has adopted the provisions of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for
Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management's Discussion and Analysis, which follows this letter, and the Required
Supplementary Information, as noted in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the
basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by GASB, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic,
or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements
that collectively comprise the City of Cottage Grove's basic financial statements. The
introductory section, combining and individual fund statements and schedules,
supplementary financial information and statistical section, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
16
Other Matters (Continued)
Other Information (Continued)
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules and supplementary financial
information 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
statements and schedules and supplementary financial information are fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
The financial statements include partial prior year comparative information. Such
information does not include all of the information required to constitute a presentation in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the City's basic financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, from which such partial information was
derived.
We have previously audited the City's 2014 financial statements and our report, dated
May 18, 2015, expressed unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component
unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information. In our opinion, the
summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2014, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial
statements from which it has been derived.
17
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
May 16, 2016, on our consideration of the City of Cottage Grove's internal control over
financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is
to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of
Cottage Grove's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Cottage Grove, we offer readers of the City of Cottage Grove’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of
transmittal, which can be found on pages 3 through 7 of this report.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Cottage Grove and the EDA
Component Unit exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the
most recent fiscal year by $227,369,275 (net position). Of this amount, $38,325,750 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund designations and fiscal policies.
• The City’s total net position decreased by $ 6,038,763, of which $ 7,694,339 is a change in
accounting principle. The reason for this decrease is due to the implementation of GASB
Statement No. 68 and No. 71 which requires the City to record their proportionate share of the
PERA state pension liabilities. The City pays into the PERA state pension plan based on rates set by state statute and is not required to fully fund this liability.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove’s governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $32,733,289 an increase of $3,746,740
compared to the previous year. Approximately 84% or $27,832,502 is available for spending according to the City’s policies and constraints.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General fund was
$8,829,697 (56%) of the total subsequent year General fund expenditures.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove had total long-term debt
outstanding of $26,722,169, an increase of $4,221,120 or 19% compared to the previous
year. The City issued $5,700,000 in General Obligation Improvement bonds in 2015.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Cottage Grove’s
basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic
financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed
to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Cottage Grove’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
19
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Cottage Grove’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 of Cottage Grove is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information on 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 personal leave time).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Cottage
Grove that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs
through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of
Cottage Grove include general government, community development, economic development,
public safety, public works, and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of the City of
Cottage Grove include street lighting, water and sewer, and an ambulance service.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Cottage Grove itself (known
as the primary government), but also a legally separate EDA component unit for which the City of
Cottage Grove is financially accountable. Financial information for this component unit is reported
separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself.
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 of Cottage Grove, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of
Cottage Grove can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike
the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s
near-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statement. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near term financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues,
20
expenditures, and change in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental
fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the City’s six individual major governmental funds. They are as follows:
• General Fund
• Municipal Building Capital Project Fund – Capital project fund
• MSA Construction Capital Project Fund —Capital project fund
• Closed Debt Fund —Debt service fund
• Pavement Management Debt Service Fund —Debt service fund
• Pavement Management Capital Project Fund - Capital project fund
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in the report.
The City of Cottage Grove adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue
funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for those funds to demonstrate
compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 36 of this report.
Proprietary funds: The City of Cottage Grove maintains four enterprise funds and three internal
service funds as a part of its proprietary fund type. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the governmental-wide financial statements. The
City of Cottage Grove uses enterprise funds to account for street light operations, ambulance
service, water operations, and sewer operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device
used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City of Cottage Grove’s various
functions. The City of Cottage Grove uses internal service funds to account for self-insurance, fleet maintenance, and information technology services activity. Because these services predominantly
benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for street light operations, ambulance service, water operations, and sewer operations,
all of which are considered to be major funds of the City of Cottage Grove. Conversely, the internal
service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial
statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Cottage Grove, assets exceeded liabilities by $ 226,798,530 at
the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City of Cottage Grove’s net position ($179,765,680 or 79%) reflects its
investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt
used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City of Cottage Grove uses these capital
assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Cottage Grove’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.

subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The balance of unrestricted net position, $38,266,144 may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove is able to report positive balances in
all three categories of net position; for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
22
Governmental Activities: Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $2,780,081
in 2015, before a change in accounting principle of $6,674,102 is applied. The change in accounting
principle is the result of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement 68.
• Program revenue decreased overall by $2,656,133. This is primarily related to reduced
capital grants and contributions from the state and county for road construction projects.
• Investment income decreased by $256,023 due to the unrealized loss in the value of investments which are annually adjusted in accordance with accounting standards.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of Cottage Grove’s governmental funds is to provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information
is useful in assessing the City of Cottage Grove’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.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $32,733,289 an increase of $3,746,740. Committed, assigned
and unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the government’s discretion has a balance of $27,832,502 at year end. The remainder of the fund balance is non-spendable or
restricted to indicate it is not available for new spending because it has already been obligated 1) to
pay debt service ($2,766,643) 2) for prepaid items ($22,726) 3) for inventory ($20,696) 4) to pay
for capital improvements ($2,042,151) and 5) for future expenditures ($48,571).
The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Cottage Grove. At the end of the current
fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the General fund was $8,829,697 while total fund balance
was $10,253,437. 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. Unassigned fund
balance represents 56% of total subsequent year General fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 65% of the same amount.
The General fund balance increased by $741,296. This increase is primarily due to an increase in
charges for services resulting from development activity in the city. Revenues exceeded budget by
$1,055,278 due to higher than expected building permit revenues and charges for engineering services from development and infrastructure projects. Expenditures were $259,091 under budget
due to reduced public safety salaries and benefits due to personnel changes and reduced public
works expenses for snow and ice control resulting from a mild winter.
The Municipal Building Fund increased $489,854 due to property tax revenues collected for repayment of the interfund loan which funded the Public Safety/City Hall project in 2012.
The MSA Construction Fund decreased by $60,397 due to construction project costs on 70th Street
and Meadowgrass Avenue.
The Closed Debt Fund increased by $242,151 due to interfund loan interest and special assessment revenues.
The Pavement Management Debt Service Fund increased by $625,208 due to special assessment
revenues collected in excess of debt service requirements.
26
The Pavement Management Capital Project Fund increase by $1,943,884 due to the issuance of
municipal bonds which financed the 2014 and 2015 Pavement Management project costs.
Proprietary funds: The City of Cottage Grove’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Business-type activities decreased the City’s net position by $1,124,505 in 2015, before a change
in accounting principle of $1,020,237 is applied. The change in accounting principle is the result
of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 68.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund.
The General Fund actual results were different than the final budget amounts due to the following:
• Licenses and Permits categories were $625,692 more than budgeted due to increased
commercial/institutional building permitting in 2015.
• Intergovernmental revenues were $172,908 more than budget due to unanticipated Federal and State grant revenues and public safety aids.
• Charges for services were $44,657 more than budgeted due to increased community
development and engineering fees resulting from increased development activity.
• Fines revenues were $35,802 more than budgeted due to increased revenues passed through to the City from the state and county.
• General government expenditures were $146,509 more than budgeted amounts due to
additional salary, benefits and professional service expenditures related to unanticipated
personnel changes.
• Public safety expenditures were $125,181 less than budgeted amounts due to staff
retirements and the resulting salary and benefit savings.
• Public works expenditures were $242,649 lower than budget due to lower personnel costs, supplies and contractual services related to the effects of a moderate snow and ice removal
season.
• Culture and recreation expenditures were $40,357 less than final budget due to reduced
operational costs in the Forestry division. Capital Asset and Debt Administration

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources, and therefore,
are not reported in the funds 149,646,231 147,132,457
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures, and therefore,
are deferred in the funds 6,988,734 4,912,684
Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources are created as a result of
various differences related to pensions that are not recognized in the governmental funds.
Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions (1,105,920) -
Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions 1,859,261 -
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period
and therefore are not reported in the funds.(34,455,583)(21,857,861)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of insurance to individual funds.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,Statement 5
EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For The Year Ended December 31, 2015
With Comparative Data for the Year Ended December 31, 2014
2015 2014
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities (page 35) are different because:
Net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds (page 39)3,746,740$ 2,392,092$
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives
and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays
exceeded depreciation in the current period.2,223,716 (1,238,277)
The effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets is to decrease net position
(i.e. sales, and trade-ins).(67,488) (27,296)
Donations of capital assets increase net position in the statement of activities, but do not
appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources.357,546 3,037,468
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources 1,346,349 (102,202)
are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Governmental funds recognize pension contributions as expenditures at the time of
payment whereas the statement of activities factors in items related to pensions on a
full accrual perspective. (281,715) -
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has
any effect on net position. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment
of long-term debt and related items.(4,299,367) 1,373,422
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of insurance
to individual funds. This amount is net revenue (loss) attributable to governmental activities.(81,706) (212,333)
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.(163,994) 33,373
Change in net position of governmental activities (page 35)2,780,081$ 5,256,247$

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Cottage Grove was incorporated in 1974 and operates under the State of Minnesota Statutory Plan A form of
government. The governing body consists of a five member City Council elected by voters of the City. The financial statements of the City of Cottage Grove have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies.
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City of Cottage Grove (the primary government) and its component unit. The component unit discussed below is included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and financial relationship with the City.
COMPONENT UNIT
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) is considered a component unit of the City because the Council appoints the members of the governing authority and because the EDA is in a relationship of financial benefits or burden to the
City. It is governed by a board which is made up of two City council members and five other members. The EDA provides services to the City and to potential future business owners within the City. The financial position and results of operations of the EDA component unit is discretely presented in the primary government’s basic financial statements. The EDA is reported in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City. The
component unit activity is reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the EDA.
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 activities of the primary government and its component unit. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
In the government-wide statement of net position, both the governmental and business-type activities columns: (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column; and (b) are reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The City’s net position is
reported in three parts: (1) net investment in capital assets; (2) restricted net position; and (3) unrestricted net position. The City first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or business-type
activity are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or business-type activity. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business-type activity. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
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 statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized
as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter
to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers all revenues, except reimbursement grants, to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are collected within one year of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest associated with the
current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is
considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Municipal Building Capital Project Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources and construction or remodeling costs of municipal buildings and facilities.
The MSA Construction Capital Project Fund accounts for projects related to Municipal State Aids.
The Closed Debt Fund accounts for the accumulation of residual resources from debt funds that have been closed
as the associated debt has been satisfied.
The Pavement Management Debt Service Fund accounts for debt service payments used to finance the City’s various pavement management projects. Revenue is accumulated from both special assessments and property
taxes.
The Pavement Management Capital Project Fund accounts for pavement management construction projects.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Street Light Fund accounts for customer street light and service charges which are used to finance street light operating expenses.
The Cottage Grove EMS Fund accounts for the operation of the Cottage Grove ambulance service that serves the
cities of Cottage Grove, Newport, Saint Paul Park, and Grey Cloud Island.
The Water Operating fund accounts for customer water service charges which are used to finance water operating expenses.
45
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
The Sewer Operating fund accounts for customer sewer service charges which are used to finance sewer operating expenses.
Additionally, the government reports the following fund type: Internal service funds account for the City’s self-insurance, fleet maintenance, and information services provided
to other departments of the government on a cost reimbursement basis. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as revenues, expenditures or expenses if they
involved external organizations, such as buying goods and services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds of the City of Cottage Grove. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct
costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments.
Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating 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, ambulance, and street light
enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The ambulance fund operating revenues are net of write off’s mandated by various government agencies (including Medicare and Medicaid). 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 non-operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for an allowable use, it is the government’s policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. BUDGETS
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Annual appropriated
budgets are adopted for the General and Special Revenue Funds.
Budgeted amounts are reported as originally adopted, and as amended by the City Council. Individual amendments were not material in relation to the original appropriations which were adjusted. Budgeted expenditure appropriations
can be carried forward to the next budget year subject to City Council approval.
E. LEGAL COMPLIANCE - BUDGETS
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. 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.
2. The City Council reviews the proposed budget and makes appropriate changes.
3. Per Statute, public meetings are held to receive taxpayer comments.
46
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
4. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution on a departmental basis and can be expended by each department based upon detailed budget estimates for individual expenditure accounts.
5. The City Administrator is authorized to transfer appropriations within any department budget up to $1,000. Additional interdepartmental or interfund appropriations and deletions are authorized by the City Council with expenditure reductions, fund (contingency) reserves or additional revenues.
6. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, certain Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds and the Internal Service Fund. The
General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are the only funds with legally adopted annual budgets.
7. Legal debt obligation indentures determine the appropriation level and debt service tax levies for the Debt Service
Funds. Supplementary budgets are adopted for the Proprietary Funds to determine and calculate user charges. These debt service and budget amounts represent general obligation bond indenture provisions and net income for operation and capital maintenance and are not reflected in the financial statements.
8. A capital improvement program is reviewed annually by the City Council for the Capital Project Funds. However, appropriations for major projects are not adopted until the actual bid award of the improvement. The appropriations are not reflected in the financial statements.
9. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the total fund level. The legal level of budgetary control is at the expenditure category level (i.e., personal services, commodities, contractual services and capital
outlay) within each activity. All amounts over budget have been approved by the City Council through the disbursement approval process. 10. The City Council may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between City funds.
The following is a listing of expenditure categories that exceed budget appropriations for non-major funds: Final Budget Actual Over Budget
Nonmajor Funds: Special Revenue Funds:
Recycling: Public works:
Commodities $ 9,100 $ 10,269 $ 1,169 Contractual services 23,800 41,886 18,086

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
F. CASH AND INVESTMENTS Cash and investment balances from all funds are pooled and invested to the extent available in authorized investments.
Earnings from investments are allocated to individual funds on the basis of the fund's equity in the cash and investment pool.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of an advance from another fund shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an interfund payable in the fund with the deficit, until adequate resources are received.
Investments are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows for the proprietary funds, cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. All of the cash and investments allocated to the proprietary funds have original maturities of 90 days or less. Therefore, the entire balances in such funds are considered cash equivalents.
G. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund receivables/payables.” All short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31, 2015 are planned to be eliminated in 2016. Long-term interfund loans are
classified as “interfund loan receivable/payable.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” Property taxes, special assessments, and ambulance receivables have been reported net of estimated uncollectible
accounts. (see Note 1 H, I and L) Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible amounts are established. Uncollectible amounts are not material for other receivables and have not been reported.
H. PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RECOGNITION The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December (levy/assessment date) of each
year for collection in the following year. The County is responsible for billing and collecting all property taxes for itself, the City, the local school district and other taxing authorities. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are
recorded as receivables by the City at that date. Real property taxes are payable (by property owners) on May 15 and October 15 of each calendar year. Personal property taxes are payable by taxpayers on February 28 and June 30 of
each year. These taxes are collected by the County and remitted to the City on or before July 7 and December 2 of the same year. Delinquent collections for November and December are received the following January. The City has
no ability to enforce payment of property taxes by property owners; the County possesses this authority. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied. Uncollectible property taxes
are not material and have not been reported.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes received by the City in July, December and January are
recognized as revenue for the current year. Taxes collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following January) and taxes and credits not received at year-end are classified as delinquent and due from County
taxes receivable. The portion of delinquent taxes not collected by the City in January is fully offset by deferred inflows of resources because they are not available to finance current expenditures.
48
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
I. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE RECOGNITION Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of special assessment
improvement projects in accordance with State Statutes. These assessments are collectible by the City over a term of years usually consistent with the term of the related bond issue. Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County Auditor in the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often
do) prepay future installments without interest or prepayment penalties. Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that property until full
payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is subject to tax forfeit sale. Proceeds of sales from tax forfeited properties are allocated first to the County’s costs of administering all tax forfeit properties. Pursuant to State Statutes,
a property shall be subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale after five years. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the assessment roll was adopted by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not been reported.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City when it becomes measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In practice, current and delinquent special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current year. Special assessments that are collected by the County by December 31
(remitted to the City the following January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining delinquent, deferred and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are completely offset by
deferred inflows of resources.
J. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and consist of items for resale, expendable supplies, and vehicle repair parts. The cost of such inventories is recorded as
expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
K. PREPAID ITEMS Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items are recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
L. ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE
The City directly bills individuals for ambulance services. The City reserves an amount as uncollectible based on historical collection rates. The amounts of the estimated uncollectible ambulance billings to individuals as of December 31, 2015 were $311,600.
49
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
M. PROPERTIES HELD FOR RESALE Property is acquired by the City for redevelopment purposes and subsequent resale. Properties held for resale is
reported as an asset at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Fair value estimates have been based on estimated realizable sales proceeds net of selling expenses.
N. 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. Infrastructure assets have been capitalized retroactively to 1980. Capital assets are defined
by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repair which do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not
capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during
the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. For the year ended December 31, 2015, no interest was capitalized in connection with construction in progress.
Capital assets not being depreciated include land, easements and construction in progress. Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 20-50
Equipment and furniture 3-10 Machinery and equipment 5-20
Other improvements 5-20 Streets 50
Storm sewers 50 Sidewalks 50
Trails 20 Street lights 50
Water and sewer lines 50
Capital assets of the water and sewer utility operations include the water distribution system and sewage collection system. These systems have been wholly (or substantially) financed by non-operating funds (special assessments,
general taxes, federal and state grants, and other sources) and contributed to the sewer and water operating funds. City policy is to finance these assets by the sources indicated rather than by user charges. Accordingly, the water and sewer user rates are not established at levels sufficient to cover depreciation on these assets.
O. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND 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 represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City presents deferred inflows of resources on the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet as unavailable
revenues. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The City presents deferred inflows of resources on the Statement of Net Position for amounts related to
50
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
pensions. 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 represents a consumption of net position that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The
City presents deferred outflows of resources on the Statements of Net Position for amounts related to pensions. P. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused annual leave benefits. Under the City’s personnel policies and collective bargaining agreements, city employees are granted annual leave benefits in varying
amounts based on length of service. Annual Leave accruals vary from 18 to 26 days per year.
As benefits accrue to employees, the accumulated leave amounts are reported as an expense and liability in the
proprietary 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 accordance with the provisions of GASB 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences, no liability is recorded for non-vesting accumulating rights to receive accumulated leave benefits. However, a liability is recognized for that portion of accumulating leave benefits
that is vested as severance pay.
Q. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums 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. Issuance costs whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported
as debt service expenditures.
R. PENSION
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
S. FUND BALANCE
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balances in classifications that disclose constraints
for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows: Nonspendable – Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and inventory.
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. Committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Council modifies or rescinds
the commitment by resolution.
51
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Assigned – Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. The Council has adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign fund balances to the City Administrator and/or Finance Director.
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 formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund. The policy establishes an unassigned fund balance range of no less than 55% of the subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures to provide sufficient working capital
and margin of safety to address local emergencies without borrowing. T. NET POSITION
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources in the government-wide financial statements. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or
acquire the capital assets. Net position is reported as restricted in the government-wide financial statement when there are limitations on use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other
governments.
U. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in
the fund that is reimbursed. Interfund loans are reported as an interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the movement of cash between funds. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
V. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
W. COMPARATIVE DATA
Summarized comparative data for the prior year has been presented only for certain sections of the accompanying
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the City’s financial position and operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year data to conform to the current year presentation. The
reclassifications had no effect on the change in net position or total net position as previously reported.

Note 2 RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE SHEET AND THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance – total governmental funds
and net position – governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that “long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds.” The details of this $(34,455,583)
difference are as follows:
Bonds payable $ (19,780,000)
Capital leases payable (4,842,432) Accrued interest payable (329,500)

B. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND
STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES AND THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a
reconciliation between net changes in fund balances – total governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that
reconciliation explains that “governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
expense.” The details of this $2,223,716 difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 6,677,600 Depreciation expense (4,453,884)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at
changes in net position of governmental activities $ 2,223,716
53
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Another element of that reconciliation states that “revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.” The details of this $1,346,349 difference are as follows:
General property taxes:
At December 31, 2014 $ (197,875)
At December 31, 2015 126,473 Special assessments:

Net adjustments to increase net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net
position of governmental activities $ 1,346,349
Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides
current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.” Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position.
The details of this $(4,299,367) difference are as follows:
Debt issued:
Issuance of general obligation bonds $ (5,700,000) Plus premium on debt issued (254,265)
Principal repayments: General obligation debt 1,320,000
Capital leases 316,255 Amortization of deferred premiums 18,643

Another element of that reconciliation states that “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.” The details of this $(163,994) difference are as follows:
Compensated absences:

Note 3 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A. DEPOSITS
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type’s portion of this pool is displayed on the statement of net position and balance sheets as “Cash and Investments.”
Custodial Credit Risk – Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City will not be able to recover its deposits. Neither the City nor the Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority, a discretely presented component unit, has a deposit policy for custodial credit risk – deposits beyond the requirements of state statutes. As of December 31, 2015, all of the deposits were insured or collateralized by securities held by the
City or its agent in the City’s name.
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at financial institutions which are authorized by
the City Council. Minnesota Statutes require that all 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 corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral include: U.S. government treasury bills, notes, or bonds; issues of a U.S. government
agency; general obligations of a state or local government rated “A” or better; revenue obligations of a state or local government rated “AA” or better; irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a Federal Home Loan Bank; and time deposits insured by a federal agency. Minnesota statutes require securities pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping
in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or at an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution not owned or controlled by the depository.

B. INVESTMENTS
Minnesota Statutes and the City’s investment policy authorize the City to invest in the following: a) Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies, its instrumentalities or
organizations created by an act of congress, excluding mortgage-backed securities defined as high risk. b) General Obligations of the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities as follow: 1) general obligation of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “A” or better
by a national bond rating service; 2) revenue obligation of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “AA” or better by a national bond rating service; and
3) general obligation of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better by a national bond
rating agency. c) Bankers acceptance of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
d) Commercial paper of the highest quality (A1, P1), and maturing in 270 days or less. e) Repurchase agreements from national or state 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.
f) Certificates of Deposit collateralized by FDIC or FSLIC insurance. Deposits exceeding $250,000 insurance shall be covered by a surety bond or collateralized with U.S. Treasury or agency securities computed at market value which shall be at least 10% more than the amount of each deposit in excess of the insured
portions. All collateral shall be assigned to the City from the depository.
g) Shares of mutual funds holdings pursuant to M.S. 118A.04. The City participates in the Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund (4M Fund) whereby, the fair market value of the position in the pool is the same as the
value of the pool shares owned. Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The City’s formal investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to
fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The policy also states that no more than 25% of total investments should extend beyond five years and in no circumstance should any extend beyond ten years.

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Custodial Credit Risk – For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of failure of the depository financial institution, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City has no custodial credit risk for its investments since all the City’s investments held in
safekeeping by U.S. Trust in the City’s name are insured and registered. Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
As indicated previously, Minnesota statute requires Commercial paper to be of the highest quality (A1, P1) and municipal general obligations need an “A” rating or better.
Concentration of Credit Risk – The City’s investment policy places no limit on the amount that may be invested in
any one issuer. The following is a list of investments by issuer which individually comprise more than 5 percent of the City’s total investments:
Credit
Type Amount Percent
Federal Home Loan Bank - FHLB $ 3,681,486 8%

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
All long-term bonded indebtedness outstanding at December 31, 2015 is backed by the full faith and credit of the City, including special assessment and revenue bond issues. Delinquent assessments receivable at December 31, 2015 totaled $12,084.
On November 18, 2015 City Council authorized calling the remaining outstanding balances of the 2009B Water Revenue Refunding Bonds of 2009B in advance of their original maturities. The bonds were called and paid in full
on February 1, 2016.
D. CAPITAL LEASES
In 2008, the City entered into a lease-purchase agreement with the EDA (a component unit) to finance the expansion
of the ice arena. Per the agreement, the EDA issued $6,500,000 of revenue bonds and the proceeds were used by the City to finance the expansion. The lease qualifies as a capital lease for accounting purposes, and therefore, the construction costs have been capitalized in the primary government.
In 2012, the City entered into a lease agreement for the purchase of 75 golf carts. This lease agreement qualifies as a capital lease for accounting purposes, and therefore, has been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments as of the inception date.
The assets acquired through capital leases are as follows:

Note 8 PENSION PLANS A. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION (PERA) - DEFINED BENEFIT
Plan Description
The City of Cottage Grove 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.
65
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) The PEPFF, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local relief association, now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers and
firefighters belonging to local relief associations that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to PERA. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state statute and can only be modified by the state legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding ratio of the plan.
Members in plans that are at least 90% funded for two consecutive years are given 2.5% increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90% funded, or have fallen below 80%, are given 1% increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
GERF Benefits Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and years
of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan
members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2% of average salary for each
of the first ten years of service and 2.7% for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and
normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014, vest on a prorated basis from 50% after five years up to 100% after ten years of credited service. Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014,
vest on a prorated basis from 50% after ten years up to 100% after twenty years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3% of average salary for each year of service. For PEPFF who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity
is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90. 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 9.1% and 6.50%, respectively, of
their annual covered salary in calendar year 2015. The City of Cottage Grove was required to contribute 11.78% of
pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50% for Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2015. The City of Cottage
Grove contributions to the GERF for the year ended December 31, 2015, were $403,968. The City of Cottage Grove’s
contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
PEPFF Contributions Plan members were required to contribute 10.8% of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2015. The City of
Cottage Grove was required to contribute 16.20% of pay for PEPFF members in calendar year 2015. The City of Cottage Grove’s contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2015, were $664,299.

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the City of Cottage Grove recognized pension expense of $840,772 for its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s pension expense. The City of Cottage Grove also recognized $39,060 for the year ended December 31, 2015, as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the PEPFF. Legislation passed in 2013 required the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the PEPFF each year, starting in fiscal year 2014.
At December 31, 2015, the City of Cottage Grove reported its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:
$332,150 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from City of Cottage Grove contributions
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 pensions will be
recognized in pension expense as follows:
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% effective every January 1st through 2026 and 2.5% thereafter.
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 reivewed annually.
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions in 2015.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 7.9%. 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:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.9%. 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.

in, calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what the City of Cottage Grove’s

B. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION (PERA) - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Five council members of the City of Cottage Grove are covered by the Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a multiple-employer deferred compensation plan administered by PERA. The PEDCP is a tax qualified plan
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the employee and employer contribution rates
for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary which is matched by the elected official's employer. Employer and employee contributions are combined
and used to purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund. For administering the plan, PERA receives 2% of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1% (.0025) of the
assets in each member's account annually.

C. COTTAGE GROVE FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION Plan Description
The Volunteer Firefighters of the City of Cottage Grove are members of the Cottage Grove Fire Relief Association.
The Cottage Grove Fire Relief Association is the administrator of a single employer defined benefit pension plan established to provide benefits for members of the Cottage Grove Fire Department. The plan is established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statute, Chapter 69.
The Relief Association provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established in accordance with State Statute, and vest after ten years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member’s years of service. Benefit provisions can
be amended by the Relief Association within the parameters provided by State Statutes.
The Relief Association issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to Cottage Grove Volunteer Fire Relief Association, 8641 80th Street South, Cottage Grove, MN 55016.
Benefits Provided Volunteer firefighters of the City are members of the Cottage Grove Fire Relief Association. Full retirement benefits
are payable to members who have reached age 50 and have completed 20 years of service for a lump sum service pension. Partial benefits are payable to members who have reached 50 and have completed 5 years of service. Disability benefits and survivor benefits are also payable to members or their beneficiaries based upon requirements set forth in the bylaws. These benefit provisions and all other requirements are consistent with enabling state statues.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At December 31, 2014, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms: Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits - Inactive employees entitled to but not receiving benefits 18
Active employees 45 Total number of participants 63
Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 424A.092 specifies minimum support rates required on an annual basis. The minimum
support rates from the municipality and from State aids are determined as the amount required to meet the normal
cost plus amortizing any existing prior service costs over a ten year period. The City's obligation is the financial requirement for the year less state aids. Any additional payments by the City shall be used to amortize the unfunded
liability of the relief association. The Association is comprised of volunteers: therefore, there are no payroll expenditures (i.e. there are no covered payroll percentage calculations). During the year, the City recognized as
revenue and as an expenditure an on behalf payment of $191,183 made by the State of Minnesota for the Relief
Association.

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Net Pension Liability The City's net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2014, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions.
The total pension liability in the December 31, 2014, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.75%
Salary increase N/A Investment rate of return 5.5%
The value of death benefits is similar to the value of the retirement pension. Because of low retirement ages, the
plan assumes no pre-retirement mortality. Post-retirement mortality does not apply as the benefit structure and form of payment do not reflect lifetime benefits.
The long-term return on assets has been set based on the plan's target investment allocation along with long-term
return expectations by asset class. When there is sufficient historical evidence of market outperformance, historical average returns may be considered. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as of the measurement date are summarized in the table on the following page.
Asset Class Target Allocation Long-term Expected
Nominal Rate of Return
Domestic equity 40% 8.0% International equity 20% 8.0%
Fixed income 30% 4.5% Real estate and alternatives 0% 6.5%
Cash 10% 3.0%
Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.50%. Assets were projected using expected benefit payments and expected asset returns. Expected benefit payments by year were discounted using the
expected asset return assumption for years in which the assets were sufficient to pay all benefit payments. Any
remaining benefit payments after the trust fund is exhausted are discounted at the municipal bond rate. The equivalent single rate is the discount rate.

Note 12 CONTINGENCIES A. RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions and natural disasters for which the City carries commercial insurance policies. The City retains risk for the
deductible portions of the insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles is considered immaterial to the financial statements.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of insurance coverage
for any of the past three fiscal years.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments as deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Worker’s Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) as required by law. For workers compensation, the City is subject
to a $10,000 medical expense deductible. The City’s premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
Property and casualty insurance coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through LMCIT. The
City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments as deemed necessary by the LMCIT.
The City established a Self Insurance Fund in 1986 to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. Under this program, the Self Insurance Fund provides coverage for losses up to $50,000 for each claim (annual
aggregate is $100,000). The City purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the Fund and for any risk of loss not covered. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the
past three fiscal years.
This fund is presented as an internal service fund type. All funds of the City participate in the program and make payments to the Self Insurance Fund based on historical cost information. The claims liability of $143,708 reported
in the Fund at December 31, 2015 is based on the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the
financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Changes in the fund's claims liability amounts were as follows:
Beginning Claims and End of Year Changes in Claim of Year Year Liability Estimates Payments Liability
2015 $ 158,905 $ 125,171 $ (140,368) $ 143,708

B. LITIGATION
The City attorney has indicated that existing and pending lawsuits, claims and other actions in which the City is a
defendant are either covered by insurance; of an immaterial amount; or, in the judgment of the City attorney, remotely recoverable by plaintiffs.

C. FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS The City receives financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form of grants. The
disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the applicable fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such
disallowed claims will not have a material effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types included herein or on the overall financial position of the City at December 31, 2015.
D. TAX INCREMENTS
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the applicable fund.
Note 13 DEFERRED AD VALOREM TAX LEVIES - BONDED DEBT
General Obligation bond issues sold by the City are financed by ad valorem tax levies and special assessment bond issues sold by the City are partially financed by ad valorem tax levies in addition to special assessments levied against the benefiting
properties. When a bond issue to be financed partially or completely by ad valorem tax levies is sold, specific annual amounts of such tax levies are stated in the bond resolution and the County Auditor is notified and instructed to levy these taxes over
the appropriate years. The future tax levies are subject to cancellation when and if the City has provided alternative sources of financing. The City Council is required to levy any additional taxes found necessary for full payment of principal and interest.
These future scheduled tax levies are not shown as assets in the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2015 and
2014. Future scheduled tax levies for all bonds outstanding at December 31, 2015 totaled $12,481,346.

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Note 15 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLAN At December 31, 2008, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 45, Accounting
and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions. The City engaged an actuary to determine the City’s liability for postemployment healthcare benefits other than pensions. A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The City provides benefits for retirees as required by Minnesota Statute §471.61 subdivision 2b. Active employees,
who retire from the City when over age 50 and with 20 years of service, may continue coverage with respect to both themselves and their eligible dependent(s) under the City’s health benefits program until age 65. Pursuant to the
provisions of the plan, retirees are required to pay the total premium cost. As of December 31, 2015 there were approximately 114 active participants, 2 retired participants and 1 disabled participant receiving benefits from the
City’s health plans. The Plan does not issue a separate report.
B. FUNDING POLICY
The City funds its OPEB obligation on a pay as you go basis. For fiscal year 2015, the City contributed $14,939 to
the plan.
C. ANNUAL OPEB COST AND NET OPEB OBLIGATION
The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required
contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and
amortize any un-funded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB costs for the year, the amount actually paid from the plan, and changes in the
City’s net OPEB obligation:
Annual required Contribution $ 24,194
Interest on Net OPEB Obligation 684

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

D.FUNDED STATUS AND FUNDED PROGRESS
As of January 1, 2014, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the City’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability
(UAAL) was $324,523. The annual payroll for active employees covered by the plan in the actuarialvaluation was $9,765,700 for a ratio of UAAL to covered payroll of 3.3%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and healthcare cost trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the
plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding
progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or
decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
E.ACTUARIAL METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan asunderstood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of eachvaluation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to
that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce theeffects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent withthe long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the January 1, 2014 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 1% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which is a
blended rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer’s own investments calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date. The inflation assumption was 1%. The initial healthcare trend rate was 8%, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 3% after five years. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payrolls on an open basis. The
remaining amortization period at December 31, 2015 was 22 years.
Note 16 OPERATING LEASES
The City leases land for the golf course under an operating lease. The monthly lease payments equal $1 per month
for the remaining term of the lease agreement. The lease was amended in 2015 to add a first extension option to 2020. In 2015, $60 was paid under this lease arrangement for the entire five year extension.

Revenues in the statement of activities that do not report current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds:

The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has
any effect on net position. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment
of long-term debt and related items:
Principal repayments 280,000
Governmental funds recognize pension contributions as expenditures at the time of
payment whereas the statement of activities factors in items related to pensions on a
full accrual perspective. (3,637)
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:
Compensated absences:
At December 31, 2014 15,955
At December 31, 2015 (4,624)
Other post employment benefits:

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