May 30, 2019
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, 2018.
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.
BerganKDV, 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, 2018. 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 2018 population at
37,341.
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.
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.

Profile of the City (Continued)
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. 2018 continued with steady employment
growth in the region and the Washington County unemployment rate at 2.0%, compared to the national
rate of 3.9%. Wage growth and inflation continued at a moderate pace.
The City's tax base is 80% residential and 20% commercial/industrial property. Total taxable market
value in 2018 was $3.1 billion. Growth in taxable value for 2019 is expected at 9% due to 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, Modern Automotive
Performance, Renewal by Andersen, North Star Sheets 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.
Completion of the renovation of the former Home Depot property into TJ Maxx and HomeGoods along
with Planet Fitness and other retail tenant spaces occurred in November 2018. Adjacent to the HyVee
grocery store in the City's Gateway North development, this completion ends a ten-year struggle with
retail vacancy on this site.
2018 also saw development of the final phases of Norris Square Independent Senior Living and skilled
care facilities and construction of Park Place Storage — a condominium storage facility and Triple
Angels Care Center facilities along West Point Douglas Road.
The City of Woodbury and the City of Cottage Grove were awarded a $9.5 million grant from the State
of Minnesota for construction of the HERO Center on a 9-acre parcel of land adjacent to City Hall. This
$19 million integrated public safety training facility was conceived in 2011 and had previously received
a $1.46 million grant for planning and architectural design. Full construction of the project will be
complete in 2019, opening to police, fire and EMS regional users by January 1, 2020.
C!
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.
Pavement Management projects are not full road reconstruction projects 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. Two
pavement projects of a significant nature are planned for 2020 and 2022 along 80th Street which will
require over $6 million in financing.
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.
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.
5
Major Initiatives (Continued)
Residential development slowed significantly subsequent to the Great Recession of 2007. The real estate
slowdown affected over five years of new home construction in the community. However, since 2015,
the City has seen a consistent year over year increase in construction of single family and multifamily
homes. In 2018, 185 permits were issued for new construction of residential housing units. We
anticipate a similar level of growth in 2019.
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. Residential developers
continue to pursue acreage for development in the master plan area. Construction of the Ravine Parkway
which connects these developments will be completed in 2019.
The City strategy of growth in the residential and commercial/industrial areas, providing more homes
and jobs, has begun to 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, 2017. This was the twenty-
eighth 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 dedication of the Finance
Department staff to whom I express my appreciation, especially Cathy Mohr and Lauren Reichstadt-
Nacar. 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.
Respectfully Submitted,

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,
2018, 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
BERGANKDV, LTD. I BERGANKDV.COM I DO MORE. 13
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph 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, 2018, 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 75
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the City has adopted new accounting guidance,
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions. 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 report letter, and Required Supplementary Information as
listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by 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.
BERGANKDV, LTD. I BERGANKDV.COM I DO MORE. 14
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, 2017,
from which such partial information was derived.
We have previously audited the City's 2017 financial statements and our report, dated May 30, 2018,
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, 2017, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited
financial statements from which it has been derived.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 30, 2019,
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 solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the City of Cottage Grove's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

City of Cottage Grove
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, 2018. 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 $255,530,604 (net position). Of this amount, $32,960,512 (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 increased by $19,857,856. The increase is due to reimbursements
and bonding for construction projects in the City.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove's governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $29,826,872 a decrease of $1,080,955 compared to
the previous year. Approximately 88% or $26,222,854 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
$9,814,949 (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 bonded debt
outstanding of $38,919,104, an increase of $4,033,400 or 11.6% compared to the previous year.
In 2018, the City issued $7,620,000 in General Obligation Improvement bonds and called
$1,480,000 in General Obligation Improvement bonds from 2009.
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.
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.

City of Cottage Grove
Management's Discussion and Analysis
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Government -Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
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 29 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, expenditures, and
change in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Governmental Funds (Continued)
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 eight 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
• Future Projects Fund — Capital project fund
• Pavement Management Debt Service Fund — Debt service fund
• Pavement Management Capital Project Fund — Capital project fund
• 2016 Improvement Projects — 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 32 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.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 39 of this report.

GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Cottage Grove, assets exceeded liabilities by $255,216,602 at the
close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City of Cottage Grove's net position ($216,078,941 or 85%) 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
An additional portion of the City's net position ($6,177,599 or 2%) represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used. The balance of unrestricted net position, $32,960,512
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.
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $11,887,660 in 2018.
• Program revenue increased overall by $5,648,859. This is primarily related to increased capital
grants and contributions from the state and county for road construction projects.
• Investment income increased by $188,772 due to the unrealized gain 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 $29,826,872 a decrease of $1,080,955. Committed, assigned and unassigned
fund balance which is available for spending at the government's discretion has a balance of
$26,222,854 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
($3,370,032), 2) for prepaid items ($58,421), 3) for inventory ($30,297), 4) for future expenditures
($145,268).
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 $9,814,949 while total fund balance was
$11,245,546. 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 64% of the same
amount.
24
City of Cottage Grove
Management's Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS (CONTINUED)
Governmental Funds (Continued)
The General Fund increased by $414,554. This increase is primarily due to an increase in charges for
services resulting from development activity in the City. Revenues exceeded budget by $945,195 due to
higher than expected building permit revenues and charges for engineering services from development
and infrastructure projects. Expenditures were $479,616 over budget due to costs of implementing a new
building permit software package, retirement payouts in the police department and unanticipated vehicle
repairs in the fire department.
The Closed Debt Fund decreased by $1,011,038 due to the call of the Improvement bonds of 2009A in
February 2018. Future special assessments for these retired bonds were assigned to the Closed Debt
Fund.
The Pavement Management Debt Service Fund decreased by $557,947 due to special assessment
revenues collected less than debt service requirements.
The Municipal Building Fund decreased $2,002,973 due to construction costs related to the Central Fire
Station.
The MSA Construction Fund increased by $2,878,015 due to bonding and MSA reimbursements on
construction project costs related to the Ravine Parkway and 70th Street projects.
The Future Projects Fund decreased by $3,119,818 due to 1) construction of the HERO public safety
training center which is a collaboration by the State of Minnesota, City of Cottage Grove and City of
Woodbury and 2) the transfer of accumulated funding towards the Ravine Parkway construction project.
The Pavement Management Capital Project Fund increased by $43,113 due to funding support from the
Sealcoating special revenue fund for the 2018 Trail construction project.
The 2016 Improvement Projects Fund decreased by $1,317,220 due to construction of Summers
Landing phase two. Special Assessments were levied and will be collected over the next three years to
reimburse these 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 increased the City's net position by $7,970,196 in 2018 due to increased charges
for services resulting from increased water and sewer rates and capital contributions from completed
infrastructure projects in new residential developments.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 $110,528 more than budgeted due to increased
commercial/institutional building permitting in 2018.
• Intergovernmental revenues were $63,434 more than budget due to unanticipated Federal and
State grant revenues and public safety aids.
• Charges for services were $648,693 more than budgeted due to increased engineering fees
resulting from increased construction and development activity.
• Donations and miscellaneous revenues were $96,136 more than budgeted due to increased
revenues from the sale of public works equipment.
• General government expenditures were $14,464 more than budgeted amounts due to additional
salary costs resulting from the replacement of the city administrator.
• Community development expenditures were $145,704 more than budgeted amounts due to
planned use of fund balance towards purchase of new building permit software.
• Public safety expenditures were $284,866 more than budgeted amounts due to personnel and
schedule changes combined with additional repair and maintenance costs on police and fire
vehicles.
• Public works expenditures were $61,773 greater than budget due to personnel costs, supplies and
contractual services related to the effects of an unusually challenging snow and ice removal
season.
• Culture and recreation expenditures were $27,191 less than final budget due to reduced
operational costs in Park Maintenance.

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
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 consist 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 generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America, 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.
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, service 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 in program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
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.
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 the
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 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 except for debt service expenditures,
as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, 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 City.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund — is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Municipal Building Capital Project Fund — accounts for the accumulation of resources and
construction or remodeling costs of municipal buildings and facilities.
MSA Construction Capital Project Fund — accounts for projects related to Municipal State Aids.
City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Closed Debt Fund — accounts for the accumulation of residual resources from debt funds that have
been closed as the associated debt has been satisfied.
Future Projects Fund — accounts for the preliminary expenditures of projects which do not have a
source of funding or which have most of their funding from non -city sources.
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.
Pavement Management Capital Project Fund — accounts for pavement management construction
projects.
2016 Improvement Projects — accounts for the 2016 improvement projects.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
Street Light Fund — accounts for customer street light and service charges which are used to finance
street light operating expenses.
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.
Water Operating Fund — accounts for customer water service charges which are used to finance
water operating expenses.
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 similarity 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.

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
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 revenue 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 offs 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 nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as needed.
D. Budgets
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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. Per statute, public
meetings are held to receive taxpayer comments.
3. 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.
4. The City Administrator is authorized to transfer appropriations within any department budget up
to $2,500. Additional interdepartmental or interfund appropriations and deletions are authorized by
the City Council with expenditure reductions, fund (contingency) reserves or additional revenues.
The City Council may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between City funds.

E. Legal Compliance — Budgets (Continued)
5. 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.
6. Legal debt obligation indentures determine the appropriation level and debt service tax levies for
the Debt Service Funds. Supplementary budget are adopted for the Proprietary Funds to determine
and calculate user charges. These are not reflected in the financial statements.
7. 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 bud award of the
improvement. The appropriations are not reflected in the financial statements.
8. 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.
The following is a listing of expenditure categories that exceed budget appropriations for nonmajor
funds:

F. Deposits and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds are pooled and invested to the extent available in
authorized investments. Earnings from investments are allocated to the 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.
Certain investments for the City are reported at fair value as disclosed in Note 3. The City categorizes its
fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The Hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant
other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
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 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, 2018 are planned to be eliminated in 2018. Long-
term interfund loans are classified as "interfund loans 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 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.
City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 cost of
administering all tax forfeit properties. Pursuant to State Statues, 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.

NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
L. Allowance for Uncollectible
The City directly bills for 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, 2018 were $330,000.
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 government 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 more than one year. Such
assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated
capital assets are recorded at acquisition 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, 2018, 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

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
N. Capital Assets (Continued)
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 became available. The
City presents deferred inflows of resources on the Statements of Net Position for amounts related to
pensions and OPEB.
In addition to assets, the statements 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.

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
R. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association
(PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported by PERA except that PERA's fiscal year end is June 30. For this
purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.
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 internal 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.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 previous 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 — 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, 2018, all of the deposits
were insured or collateralized by securities held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
53
City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 2 — DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. Deposits (Continued)
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 includes: 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 (A I, 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 fair 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 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.

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 (A 1, P 1) 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% of the City's total investments:

NOTE 5 — PENSION PLANS
The city participates in various pension plans. Total pension expense for the year ended December 31,
2018 was $1,240,745. The components of pension expense are noted in the following plan summaries.
Public Employees' Retirement Association
A. 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 Plan (General Employees Plan, accounted for in the General Employees
Fund)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Plan.
General Employees Plan members belong to the Coordinated Plan. Coordinated Plan members are
covered by Social Security.
Public Employees Police and Fire Plan (Police and Fire Plan, accounted for in the Police and Fire Fund)
The Police and Fire Plan, 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 Police and Fire Plan also covers police officers and firefighters belonging to a local relief association
that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statute and can only be modified by the state legislature. 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.

NOTE 5 — PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
B. Benefits Provided (Continued)
General Employees Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan 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 Plan members. Members hired prior to July, 1 1989, receive
the higher of Method 1 or Method 2 formulas. Only Method 2 is used for members hired after June 30,
1989. Under Method 1, the accrual rate for a Coordinated members is 1.2% for each of the first ten years
of service and 1.7% for each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated members
is 1.7% for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when
age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1,
1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding
ratio of the plan. If the General Employees Plan is at least 90% funded for two consecutive years, benefit
recipients are given a 2.5% increase. If the plan has not exceeded 90% funded, or have fallen below
80%, benefit recipients are given a one percent increase. A benefit recipient who has been receiving a
benefit for at least 12 full months as of June 30, will receive a full increase. Members receiving benefits
for at least one month but less than 12 full months as of June 30, will receive a pro rata increase.
Police and Fire Plan Benefits
Benefits for the Police and Fire Plan 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 Police and Fire Plan 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 Police and Fire Plan who were first hired prior to July 1,
1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Police and Fire Plan benefit recipients
receive a future annual 1.0% increase. An annual adjustment will equal 2.5% any time the plan exceeds
a 90% funded ratio for two consecutive years. If the adjustment is increased to 2.5% and the funded ratio
falls below 80% for one year or 85% for two consecutive years, the post -retirement benefit increase will
be lowered to one percent. A benefit recipient who has been receiving a benefit for at least 12 full
months as of June 30 will receive a full increase. Members receiving benefits for at least one month but
less than 12 full months as of June 30 will receive a pro rata increase. For retirements after May 31,
2014, the first increase will be delayed two years.

C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution
rates can only be modified by the state legislature.
General Employees Plan Contributions
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 6.5%, of their annual covered salary in calendar
year 2018. The City was required to contribute 7.5% for Coordinated Plan members in calendar year
2018. The City's contributions to the General Employees Fund for the year ended December 31, 2018,
were $482,521. The City's contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
Police and Fire Fund Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.8% of their annual covered salary and the City was
required to contribute 16.20% of pay for members in fiscal year 2018. The City's contributions to the
Police and Fire Fund for the year ended December 31, 2018, were $803,145. The City's contributions
were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
D. Pension Costs
General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2018, the City reported a liability of $5,198,092 for its proportionate share of the
General Employees Fund's net pension liability. The City's net pension liability reflected a reduction due
to the State of Minnesota's contribution of $16 million to the fund in 2018. The State of Minnesota is
considered a non -employer contributing entity and the State's contribution meets the definition of a
special funding situation. The State of Minnesota's proportionate share of the net pension liability
associated with the City totaled $170,553. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018,
and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City's
contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from
July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of
PERA's participating employers. At June 30, 2018, the City's proportion share was 0.0937%, which was
an increase of 0.0047% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2018, actuarial valuation was determined using the entry age
normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation
Active Member Payroll Growth
Investment Rate of Return
2.50% per year
3.25% per year
7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
survivors, and disabilitants for all plans were based on RP 2014 tables for males or females, as
appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA's experience. Cost of living benefit increases after
retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25% per year for the General Employees Plan and 1.0% per
year for the Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018, valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent six -year experience study in the General Employees Plan was
completed in 2015. The most recent four-year experience study for Police and Fire Plan was completed
in 2016. Economic assumptions were updated in 2017 based on a review of inflation and investment
return assumptions.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2018:
General Employees Fund
• The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2015 to MP-2017.
• The assumed benefit increase was changed from 1.0% per year through 2044 and 2.5% per year
thereafter to 1.25% per year.
Police and Fire Fund
• The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2016 to MP-2017.
• As set by statute, the assumed post -retirement benefit increase was changed from 1.0% per year
through 2064 and 2.5% per year, thereafter, to 1.0% for all years, with no trigger.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the
reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block method
in which best -estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected
future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates
of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the table on the following
page.

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2018 was 7.5%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from Plan members and employers
will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on those assumptions, the fiduciary net position of
the General Employees Fund and the Police and Fire Fund was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current Plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine
the total pension liability.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following table presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it
participates in, calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what
the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount

H. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about each pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in a separately -issued
PERA financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That
report may be obtained on the Internet at www.mnpera.org.
Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan)
Five council members of the City of Cottage Grove are covered by the Defined Contribution Plan, a
multiple -employer deferred compensation plan administered by PERA. The Defined Contribution Plan
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.
The defined contribution plan consists of individual accounts paying a lump -sum benefit. Plan benefits
depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative expenses;
therefore, there is no future liability to the employer. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies
plan provisions, including the employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel
who elect to participate. An eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary
which is matched by the elected official's employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer
contributions are determined by the employer, and for salaried employees must be a fixed percentage of
salary. Employer contributions for volunteer personnel may be a unit value for each call or period of
alert duty. Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make member contributions in an
amount not to exceed the employer share. Employer and employee contributions are combined and used
to purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment
Fund. For administering the plan, PERA receives 2% of employer contributions and twenty-five
hundredths of 1% (.0025) of the assets in each member's account annually.
Pension expense for the year is equal to contributions made. Total contributions made by the City during
fiscal year 2018 were:

Defined Benefit Pension Plan — Volunteer Fire Relief Association
A. Plan Description
The City of Cottage Grove participates in the Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan
(Volunteer Firefighter Plan accounted for in the Volunteer Firefighter Fund), an agent multiple -
employer lump -sum defined benefit pension plan administered by the Public Employees Retirement
Association of Minnesota (PERA). The Volunteer Firefighter Plan covers volunteer firefighters of
municipal fire departments that have elected to join the plan. As of December 31, 2018, the plan covered
44 active firefighters and 22 vested terminated firefighters whose pension benefits are deferred. The plan
is established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353G.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 5 — PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Defined Benefit Pension Plan — Volunteer Fire Relief Association (Continued)
B. Benefits Provided
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan provides retirement, death, and supplemental benefits to covered
firefighters and survivors. Benefits are paid based on the number of years of service multiplied by a
benefit level approved by the City of Cottage Grove. Members are eligible for a lump -sum retirement
benefit at 50 years of age with five years of service. Plan provisions include a pro -rated vesting schedule
that increases from 5 years at 40 percent through 20 years at 100 percent.
C. Contributions
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan is funded by fire state aid, investment earnings and, if necessary,
employer contributions as specified in Minnesota Statutes. The State of Minnesota contributed $198,977
in fire state aid to the fund for the year ended December 31, 2018. Required employer contributions are
calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The City of Cottage Grove's statutorily -required
contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund for the year ended December 31, 2018, were $0.
D. Pension Costs
At December 31, 2018, the City of Cottage Grove reported a net pension asset of $822,968 for the
Volunteer Firefighter Fund. The net pension asset was measured as of December 31, 2018. The total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension asset in accordance with GASB 68 was determined by
PERA applying an actuarial formula to specific census data certified by the fire department. The
following table presents the changes in net pension liability during the year.

E. Actuarial Assumptions

10,290
The total pension liability at December 31, 2018, was determined using the entry age normal actuarial
cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Retirement eligibility at the later of age 50 or 20 years of service
Investment rate of return of 6.0%
• Inflation rate of 3.0%
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund will be
made as specified in statute. Based on that assumption and considering the funding ratio of the plan, the
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of
current active and inactive members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.

H. Plan Investments Investment Policy
The Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) is established by Article XI of the Minnesota
Constitution to invest all state funds. Its membership as specified in the Constitution is comprised of the
governor (who is designated as chair of the board), state auditor, secretary of state and state attorney
general.
All investments undertaken by the SBI are governed by the prudent person rule and other standards
codified in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter I IA and Chapter 353G.
Within the requirements defined by state law, the SBI, with assistance of the SBI staff and the
Investment Advisory Council, establishes investment policy for all funds under its control. These
investments policies are tailored to the specific needs of each fund and specify investment objectives,
risk tolerance, asset allocation, investment management structure and specific performance standards.
Studies guide the on -going management of the funds and are updated periodically.
I. Asset Allocation
To match the long-term nature of the pension obligations, the SBI maintains a strategic asset allocation
for the Volunteer Firefighter Plan that includes allocations to domestic equity, international equity,
bonds and cash equivalents. The long-term target asset allocation and long-term expected real rate of
return is the following:

Domestic Stocks
International Stocks

I. Asset Allocation (Continued)
The 6% long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building
block method. Best estimates for expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of inflation)
were developed for each asset class using both long-term historical returns and long-term capital market
expectations from several investment management and consulting organizations. The asset class
estimates, and the target allocations were then combined to produce a geometric, long-term expected
real rate of return for the portfolio. Inflation expectations were applied to derive the nominal rate of
return for the portfolio.
J. Description of significant investment policy changes during the year
The SBI made no significant changes to their investment policy during fiscal year 2018 for the
Volunteer Firefighter Fund.
K. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the Volunteer Firefighter Fund's fiduciary net position as of June 30, 2018,
is available in a separately -issued PERA financial report that includes financial statements and required

NOTE 7 — TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The City has entered into one Tax Increment Financing agreement which meets the criteria for
disclosure under GASB Statement No. 77 — Tax Abatement Disclosures. The City's authority to enter
into this agreement comes from Minnesota Statute 469. The City entered into this agreement for
economic development.
Under the agreement, the City and developer agree on an amount of development costs to be reimbursed
to the developer by the City through tax revenues from the additional taxable value of the property
generated by the development (tax increment). A "pay as you go" note is established for this amount, on
which the City makes payments for a fixed period with available tax increment revenue after deducting
certain administrative costs.

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 more than
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.

A. Risk Management (Continued)
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 the 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 more than 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 $170,124 reported in the Fund at December 31, 2018 is based on the requirements of GASB
Statement No. 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:

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, 2018.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 17 — NEW STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
GASB Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations establishes criteria for determining the
timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a corresponding deferred outflow of resources for
Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). This statement requires that recognition occur when the liability
is both incurred and reasonably estimable. The determination of when the liability is incurred should be
based on the occurrence of external laws, regulations, contracts, or court judgments, together with the
occurrence of an internal event that obligates a government to perform asset retirement activities. Laws
and regulations may require governments to take specific actions to retire certain tangible capital assets
at the end of the useful lives of those capital assets, such as decommissioning nuclear reactors and
dismantling and removing sewage treatment plants. Other obligations to retire tangible capital assets
may arise from contracts or court judgments. Internal obligating events include the occurrence of
contamination, placing into operation a tangible capital asset that is required to be retired, abandoning a
tangible capital asset before it is placed into operation, or acquiring a tangible capital asset that has an
existing ARO. This statement will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2019.
GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of
all state and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is
controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary
relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify fiduciary component units and
postemployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities. This statement will be effective for
the year ending December 31, 2019.
GASB Statement No. 87, Leases establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the
foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this
statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right -to -use lease asset, and
a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing
the relevance and consistency of information about governments' leasing activities. This statement will
be effective for the year ending December 31, 2020.
GASB Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, Including Direct Borrowings and Direct
Placements improves the information that is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. It also
clarifies which liabilities governments should include when disclosing information related to debt. This
statement will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2019.
GASB Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period
enhances the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing
for a reporting period and simplifies accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period. This statement will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2020.
GASB Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests improves the consistency and comparability of
reporting a government's majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and to improve the
relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. This statement will be
effective for the year ending December 31, 2019.

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
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.
