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 Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report of the City of Cottage Grove for the year ended December 31, 2022.
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, 2022.
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. It 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 2021 Census established the City population at 39,605: recent data estimates 2022
population at 41,027.
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 28t' of each year. The legal level of
budgetary control is at the department level.
Local economy
Cottage Grove benefits from a significant amount of developable land and a location within the
economically prosperous Minneapolis/St. Paul seven county metropolitan area. The City's tax base
is 80% residential and 20% commercial/industrial property. Total taxable market value in 2022
was $4.2 billion. This was an increase of 5.87% over 2021, due to new construction and increases
in property values of existing building stock.
The business park is home to Up North Plastics, NorthPoint, Green Thumb, American Logistics,
Modern Automotive Performance, Renewal by Andersen, North Star Sheets, and Van Meter. Other
major employers in the City include 3M Company, Target, Menard's, Walmart, and Aggregate
Industries. In 2021 the companies were doing so well that many began actively expanding their
operations including North Star Sheets, Renewal by Andersen, and Leafline Labs.
The City's commercial areas include four community shopping centers which are home to many
prominent retailers including Hy-Vee, PetSmart, Target, TJ-Maxx, Walgreens, Kohl's, Chipotle,
Aldi, Cub Foods, and Walmart.
In 2022 and into 2023, the city was actively purchasing and selling land in the City's business
park. Numerous deals were struck with companies eager to locate in the city's business park
including Ryan Companies, Enclave, Hohenstein's and NorthPoint. These developments, along
with others, will add more than 4M square feet of warehousing, logistics and manufacturing in the
next several years and grow our workforce by more than 3,000 jobs.

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. In
addition, a Ten -Year Financial Management Plan was developed in 2022 and finalized in 2023 to
determine the impacts of future operating costs, staffing needs, future growth, capital projects and
the impact on the property tax levies. The Plan will be incorporated into the budget.
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 2040 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 full road reconstruction projects or a reclamation 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.
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
• Long-term financial management 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 providing adequate working capital for current
operations without short term borrowing. The City's fund balance policy as of the end of 2022,
identified 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 38,839 per the 2020 census.
Most of the population of the City concentrates in two age groups: 0 - 14 years (22.8%) and 25 -
54 years (41.8%). According to the 2020 census, the average age is 38.1 years, and the median
family income is $102,600. This median family income is 39.8% higher than Minnesota's median
family income.
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, Cottage Grove saw a
residential development boom, with several years of building permits for single family homes
exceeding 300 per year.

Letter of Transmittal
June 6, 2023
Major Initiatives (Continued)
During the Great Recession of 2007, residential development slowed significantly for the Cottage
Grove community. The real estate slowdown affected more than five years of new home
construction in the community. However, from 2015 through 2021, the City saw a consistent year
over year increase in construction of single family and multifamily homes. In 2022, 350 permits
were issued for new construction of residential housing (detached and attached) units. Over 630
platted lots with completed infrastructure awaited construction at the end of 2022.
The "East Ravine Master Plan" was completed in 2006. After the delay, development of the 4,000
acres of low -density residential housing with park and open space amenities and nodes of
commercial use began in earnest in 2013. In the eight years since then, more than 1,000 acres of
land has been developed into a variety of residential housing. Ravine Parkway which serves as the
transportation backbone and connects these developments is now in Phase 3 of construction.
The City strategy of positioning for growth can be seen in the residential and industrial growth.
The growth has provided Cottage Grove more homes and jobs opportunities, which in return has
led to additional interest in commercial/retail users and demands for community services.
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 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was
the thirty-second consecutive year the City has achieved this prestigious award. To receive a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. This report must satisfy both 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
Annual Comprehensive 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.
This report was compiled and completed by the dedicated staff of the Finance Department to whom
I give my heartiest thanks. Lastly, thank you to the Mayor and City Council members for their
support in maintaining a fiscally sound and stable organization in the service of our residents and
business owners.

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the 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, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the
basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in
the Table of Contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements 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, as of December 31, 2022, 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.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Cottage Grove and to meet our
other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter — Implementation of GASB 87
The City has adopted new accounting guidance, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 87, Leases. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City of Cottage Grove's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and for 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.
BERGANKDV, LTD. I BERGANKDV.COM I DO MORE. 13
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements (Continued)
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Cottage Grove's
ability to continue as a going concern for one year beyond the financial statement date, including any
currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 of Cottage Grove's internal control. Accordingly, no
such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the City of Cottage Grove's ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control —related
matters that we identified during the audit.

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 is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the 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.
Supplementary 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 accompanying
supplementary information identified in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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 accompanying supplementary
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include
the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial
statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of
assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the
basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report
BERGANKDV, LTD. I BERGANKDV.COM I DO MORE. 15
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards (Continued)
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 6, 2023,
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 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, 2022. 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 6 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 $387,349,836 (net position). Of this amount, $46,339,730 (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 $41,134,261 as a result of current year operations.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove's governmental funds
reported combined ending fund balances of $40,754,875 a decrease of $5,670,250 compared to
the previous year. Approximately 82% or $33,809,235 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
$12,696,178 (55%) of the total subsequent year General fund expenditures.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Cottage Grove had total long-term debt outstanding
of $39,743,447, a decrease of $6,740,564 compared to the previous year due to the repayment of
debt during the current fiscal year.
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)
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 31 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: 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
seven individual major governmental funds. They are as follows:
• General Fund
• Closed Debt Fund —Debt service fund
• Ice Arena Fund —Special revenue fund
• Future Economic Development Fund — Capital project fund
• MSA Construction Capital Project Fund Capital project fund
• Future Projects Fund - Capital project fund
• 3M Settlement-MPCA Fund — Capital project fund
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual
fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in the report.
The City of Cottage Grove adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue
funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for those funds to demonstrate compliance
with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 34 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 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 41 of this report.
Notes to the basic financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a
full understanding of the data provided in the government —wide and fund financial statements. The notes
to the financial statements start on page 45 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 $387,349,836 at the
close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City of Cottage Grove's net position ($334,611,498 or 86.4%) 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.

Net position increased by $25,144,528 or 10.3% in governmental activities as a result of strong current
year operations due to development activities.
Overall, revenues from governmental activities increased by $14,096,538 or 23.82%. Charges for services
increased due to increased building and development activity in the current year. Capital grants and
contributions increased by $14,120,917 or 59.26% during the current year, due to the receipt of Municipal
State Aid for street construction and settlement funding received from the MPCA/3M settlement for water
treatment. Infrastructure related to water treatment was constructed with the use of these settlement funds.
There was a large decline in the unrestricted investment earnings due to the unprecedented interest rate
increases that occurred during the year causing a large mark to market adjustment for financial statement
presentation purposes. The adjustment will be reversed as the investments mature.

City of Cottage Grove
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Government -wide Financial Analysis (Continued)
Governmental activities expenses increased overall by only 4.29% despite high inflationary increases
that were realized during the year, especially in fuel and utilities costs. This was due to strong budget
management practices.
Net position in business -type activities increased $15,989,733 primarily due to the transfers from the
governmental activities. In addition, capital contributions increased from the prior year due
infrastructure contributions from developers related to water and sewer infrastructure in new
developments throughout the city.

City of Cottage Grove
Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 $40,754,875, a decrease of $5,670,250. A portion of the decrease or $3,875,000
was due to bonds that were refunded in the prior year but paid in the current year to realize interest
savings. An additional $3,400,000 of the decrease was for the South District Storm Sewer Project that
was constructed in the current year. The costs of the project were funded with prior and future
development charges. The project was necessary for current and future development in that area of the
city. Committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the
government's discretion has a balance of $33,809,235 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.
General Fund
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 $12,696,178 while total fund balance was
$13,314,103. 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 55%
of total subsequent year General fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 58% of the same
amount.
The General fund balance increased by $209,724. The increase primarily occurred in permit revenue and
charges for services due to increased construction and development activity that occurred during the
current year.
Other Major Governmental Funds
The Closed Debt Fund increased by $101,602 due to property taxes received during the year.
The Ice Arena Fund decreased slightly by $12,660 due to inflationary utility and fuel costs realized during
the current year.
The Future Economic Development Fund increased by $1,173,331 due to land sales brokered by the city
for future development in the business park.
The MSA Construction Fund increased by $2,047,304. Current year receipts of Municipal State Aid for
the 80t' street construction project that was constructed in prior years resulted in the increase in the fund.
The Future Projects Fund decreased slightly by $187,982 due to escrow funds being released to developers
for amounts remaining in the escrows after completion of developments.
The 3M Settlement MPCA Fund decreased slightly by $110,188 due to timing differences between
revenues received from the MPCA/3M settlement and use of those revenues for water treatment activities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Other Major Governmental Funds (Continued)
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 $16,180,792 in 2022 due to increased utility
rates, and capital contributions from completed infrastructure projects in new developments.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund.
The General Fund actual results were different than the final budget amounts due to the following:
Licenses and Permits were $784,320 more than the final budget due to more building permit
activity that occurred than anticipated in the current year. This offset the investment earnings that
were $686,954 less than the final budget due to the unprecedented interest rate increases that were
experienced in the current fiscal year.
Charges for services were $311,899 more than budgeted due to engineering fees resulting from
increased construction and development activity.
Public safety expenditures were $209,878 more than budgeted amounts due to inflationary utility
costs and high worker's compensation premiums realized during the current year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Long-term debt
The City of Cottage Grove currently holds a general obligation debt rating of AAA/Stable from
Standard and Poor's and Aal from Moody's. According to S&P, Cottage Grove received an upgrade due
to "improving economic metrics and its relative growth prospects within the Twin Cities metropolitan
statistical area demonstrated by the availability of developable land, coupled with a history of strong
financial performance and a favorable debt profile."
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a Minnesota city may issue to 3% of total
Estimated Market Value. The current debt limitation for the City of Cottage Grove is $126,788,205. Of
that limit, $13,585,000 of the City's outstanding debt is counted within the statutory limitation because
all other debt is either wholly or partially repaid by revenues other than general property tax levies.
Additional information on the City of Cottage Grove's long-term debt can be found in Note 4.
Requests for information: This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the City
of Cottage Grove's finances for all those with an interest in the government's finances. Questions

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Basic 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 Basic 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.
Descriptions of Funds:
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund — This 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.
Closed Debt Fund — This fund accounts for the accumulation of residual resources from debt funds
that have been closed as the associated debt has been satisfied.
Future Economic Development Capital Project Fund — This fund accounts for the receipt and use of
monies for economic development purposes.

Descriptions of Funds: (Continued)
Major Governmental Funds: (Continued)
Ice Arena Special Revenue Fund - this fund accounts for the operations of the City's ice arena.
MSA Construction Capital Project Fund — This fund accounts for projects related to Municipal State
Aids.
Future Projects Fund— This 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.
3M Settlement— MPCA Capital Projects Fund— This fund accounts for funds and expenditures
related to this agreement.
The government reports the following major proprietary funds:
Street Light Fund — This fund accounts for customer street light and service charges which are used
to finance street light operating expenses.
Cottage Grove EMS Fund — This 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 — This fund accounts for customer water service charges which are used to
finance water operating expenses.
Sewer Operating Fund — This 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.

(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.
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.

E. Legal Compliance — Budgets (Continued)
6. Legal debt obligation indentures determine the appropriation level and debt service tax levies for
the Debt Service Funds. Supplementary budgets are adopted for the Proprietary Funds to
determine and calculate user charges. These 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:
Nonmajor Funds
Storm Water Maintenance
Fines/Seizures
Golf Course
Equipment Replacement
Street Sealcoating

400,000 409,687 9,687
626,000 1,463,397 837,397
Cash and investments include balances from all funds and 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 2. 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 I 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.
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.
City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, 2022, are planned to be eliminated in 2023. 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.
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.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
I. Special Assessment Revenue Recognition (Continued)
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.
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, 2022, were $2,200,000.
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, 2022, no interest was
capitalized in connection with construction in progress.
Capital assets not being depreciated include land, easements, and construction in progress. Property,
plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, is depreciated using
the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets
Years
Buildings and improvements
20-50
Equipment and furniture
3-10
Machinery and equipment
5-20
Other improvements
5-20
Streets

Sidewalks

Trails

Water and sewer lines

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.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 assets 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. Deferred inflows of resources related to lease receivable is reported in both the
government -wide Statement of Net Position and Governmental Funds Balance Sheet.
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 assets 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 and OPEB.
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.
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.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, 2022, all of the deposits
were insured or collateralized by securities held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at financial institutions which are
authorized by the City Council. Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by insurance,
surety bond, or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not
covered by insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral 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 (A1, P1), and maturing in 270 days or less.
e) Repurchase agreements from national or state banks that are members of the Federal Reserve
System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S.
government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
f) Certificates of Deposit collateralized by FDIC or FSLIC insurance. Deposits exceeding $250,000
insurance shall be covered by a surety bond or collateralized with U.S. Treasury or agency
securities computed at 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 Minnesota Statute 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 — The 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.

B. Investments (Continued)
Custodial Credit Risk — Investment — custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of failure of the
depository financial institution, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City has no custodial credit risk
for its investments since all the City's investments held in safekeeping by U.S. Trust in the City's name
are insured and registered.
Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill
its obligations. As indicated previously, Minnesota Statute requires Commercial paper to be of the
highest quality (A1, P1) and municipal general obligations need an "A" rating or better.
Concentration of Credit Risk — The City's investment policy places no limit on the amount that may be
invested in any one issuer. The following is a list of investments by issuer which individually comprise
more than 5% of the City's total investments:

NOTE 6 — PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
A. Plan Description (Continued)
General Employees Retirement Plan (Continued)
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
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.
General Employees Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any 5 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 10 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. Beginning in 2019, the postretirement
increase is equal to 50% of the cost -of -living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a
minimum increase of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. Recipients that have been receiving the
annuity or benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will
receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one month but less
than a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated
increase. For members retiring on January 1, 2024, or later, the increase will be delayed until normal
retirement age (age 65 if hired prior to July 1, 1989, or age 66 for individuals hired on or after July 1,
1989). Members retiring under Rule of 90 are exempt from the delay to normal retirement.

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 10 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
10 years up to 100% after 20 years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3% of average salary
for each year of service. For Police and Fire Plan members who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a
full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is fixed at

Police and Fire Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2022, the City reported a liability of $21,496,929 for its proportionate share of the
Police and Fire Fund's net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022,
and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date. The City's proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the
City's contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates
from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, relative to the total employer contributions received from all
of PERA's participating employers. The City's proportionate share was 0.4940% at the end of the
measurement period and 0.5018% for the beginning of the period.
The State of Minnesota also contributed $18 million to the Police and Fire Fund in the plan fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that does meet the
definition of a special funding situation and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not meet the
definition of a special funding situation. The $9 million direct state aid was paid on October 1, 2021.
Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the State will pay $9 million to the Police and Fire Fund until full
funding is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will
continue until the fund is 90% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota
State Retirement System) is 90% funded, whichever occurs later.
As a result, the State of Minnesota is included as a non -employer contributing entity in the Police and
Fire Retirement Plan Schedule of Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer
(pension allocation schedules), for the $4.5 million in direct state aid. Police and Fire Plan employers
need to recognize their proportionate share of the State of Minnesota's pension expense (and grant
revenue) under GASB 68 special funding situation accounting and financial reporting requirements. For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the City recognized pension expense of $2,080,141 for its
proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan's pension expense. Included in this amount, the City
recognized $182,133 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota's contribution of $9 million to the Police and Fire Fund.
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non -employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire
Pension Plan pension allocation schedules for the $9 million in supplemental state aid. The City also
recognized $938,958 for the year ended December 31, 2022, as revenue and an offsetting reduction of
the net pension liability for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota's on -behalf contributions to
the Police and Fire Fund.

E. Long -Term Expected Return on Investment
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.

The total pension liability in the June 30, 2022, actuarial valuation was determined using an individual
entry -age normal actuarial cost method. The long-term rate of return on pension plan investments used
in the determination of the total liability is 6.5%. This assumption is based on a review of inflation and
investments return assumptions from a number of national investment consulting firms. The review
provided a range of return investment return rates deemed to be reasonable by the actuary. An
investment return of 6.5% was deemed to be within that range of reasonableness for financial reporting
purposes.
Inflation is assumed to be 2.25% for the General Employees Plan and 2.25% for the Police and Fire
Plan. Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the General Employees. The Police
and Fire Plan benefit increase is fixed at 1% per year and that increase was used in the valuation.
Salary growth assumptions in the General Employees Plan range in annual increments from 10.25%
after one year of service to 3.0% after 27 years of service and 6.0% per year thereafter. In the Police and
Fire Plan, salary growth assumptions range from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 years
of service.
Mortality rates for the General Employees Plan are based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality
Table. Mortality rates for the Police and Fire Plan are based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee
Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA's experience.

F. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions (Continued)
Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
Actuarial assumptions for the General Employees Plan are reviewed every four years. The most recent
four-year experience study for the General Employees Plan was completed in 2019. The assumption
changes were adopted by the Board and became effective with the July 1, 2020, actuarial valuation. The
most recent four-year experience study for the Police and Fire Plan was completed in 2020 and was
adopted by the Board and became effective with the July 1, 2021, actuarial valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2022:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
• The mortality improvement scale was changed from scale MP-2020 to scale MP-2021.
Changes in Plan Provisions
• There have been no changes since the previous valuation.
Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
• The mortality improvement scale was changed from scale MP-2020 to scale MP-2021.
• The single discount rate was changed from 6.5% to 5.4%.
Change in Plan Provisions
• There have been no changes since the previous valuation.
G. Discount Rate
The discount rate for the General Employees Plan used to measure the total pension liability in 2022 was
6.5%. 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 these
assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees 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. Discount Rate (Continued)
In the Police and Fire Fund, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2060. Beginning in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2061, projected benefit payments exceed the fund's projected fiduciary net position.
Benefit payments projected after were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 3.69% (based on the
weekly rate closest to but not later than the measurement date of the Fidelity "20-Year Municipal GO
AA Index"). The resulting equivalent single discount rate of 5.4% for the Police and Fire Fund was
determined to give approximately the same present value of projected benefits when applied to all years
of projected benefits as the present value of projected benefits using 6.5% applied to all years of
projected benefits through the point of asset depletion and 3.69% thereafter.

therefore, there is no future liability to the City. 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%
(.25%) of the assets in each member's account annually.
Pension expense for the year is equal to the contributions made. Total contributions made by the City
during fiscal year 2021 were:

• Investment rate of return of 6.0%
• Inflation rate of 3.0%

NOTE 6 — PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)

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.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the net pension liability for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund, calculated using the
assumed discount rate, as well as what the City of Cottage Grove's net pension asset would be if it were
calculated using a discount rate 1 percentage point lower or 1 percentage point higher than the current
discount rate:

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 1IA 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.
L 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 on the following page:

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 2022 for the
Volunteer Firefighter Fund.
K. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the Volunteer Firefighter Fund's fiduciary net position as of December 31,

NOTE 8 — TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The City has entered into three Tax Increment Financing agreements 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 agreements, 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the City generated $1,750,799 in tax increment revenue and
made $365,714 in payments to developers.
TIF District 91-12 was established in 2001 for redevelopment of certain blighted properties
into retail, commercial, and senior housing developments. An agreement with PHS/Cottage
Grove Inc. called for up to $2.8 million to be reimbursed through tax increment over a ten-
year period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the district generated $335,887 of tax
increment and $233,979 in payments on the pay as you go note were made. The balance due
on the note at year end was $433,108.
TIF District 1-17 was established in 2016 for the establishment of senior housing. An agreement
with Cottage Grove Leased Housing I, LLLP called for up to $1.7 million to be reimbursed
through tax increment over a fifteen -year period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the

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 $25,000 medical expense deductible. The City's
premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is
considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
Property and casualty insurance coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through
LMCIT. The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental
assessments as deemed necessary by the LMCIT.
The City established 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.

NOTE 12 — POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides health benefits for retirees as required by Minnesota Statute §471.61 subdivision 2b
through a single -employer defined benefit OPEB plan. Pursuant to the provisions of the plan, retirees are
required to pay the total premium cost. No assets are accumulated in a trust.
B. Benefits Provided
Active employees, who retire from the City when over age 50 and with 20 years of service, may
continue coverage with respect to both themselves and their eligible dependent(s) under the City's health
benefits program until age 65.
C. Contributions
Retirees contribute to the health care plan at the same rate as City employees. This results in the retirees
receiving an implicit rate subsidy. Contribution requirements are established by the City, based on the
contract terms with Medica. The required contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing
requirements. For the year 2022, the City contributed $44,681 to the plan.

The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2021, using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise
specified:
Key Methods and Assumptions Used in Valuation of Total OPEB Liability
Discount rate 3.72%
Inflation 2.25%
Healthcare cost trend increases 8.00% initially decreasing
to an ultimate rate of 4.14% by 2040
Mortality assumption Pub-2010 Mortality Table adjusted for moratlity
improvements using projecxtion scale MP-2020 by employee
class
The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2021, valuation was based on the results of an actuarial
experience study dated June 30, 2021, for PERA's General Employees Retirement Plan and dated July
14, 2021, for PERA's PEPFF Plan.
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.72 % based on the Bond Buyer 20-
Bond Obligation Index.
F. Total OPEB Liability
The City's total OPEB liability of $484,409 was measured as of December 31, 2022, and was

City of Cottage Grove
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 13 — COMMITTED CONTRACTS
At December 31, 2022, the City had commitments of $8,515,544 for uncompleted construction
contracts.
NOTE 14 — CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
The City has issued Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to private sector entities
for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities which are deemed to be in the
public interest. The bonds are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments on
the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities
transfers to the private sector entity served by the bond issue. The City is not obligated in any manner
for the repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, a series of Industrial Revenue Bonds
were outstanding.

NOTE 15 — CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPAL
$ 31,779,500 $ 29,128,447
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 87 — Leases, which resulted in the recording of leased
Assets and lease liability on January 1, 2022, in offsetting amounts of $38,239. Because there was no net
effect on the beginning net position, a change in accounting principle is not reported on the Statement of
Activities.
NOTE 16 — NEW STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements establishes that a
Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangement (SBITA) results in a right -to -use subscription
asset and a corresponding liability. Under this statement, a governmental entity generally should
recognize a right -to -use subscription asset — an intangible asset — and a corresponding subscription
liability. This statement will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2023.
