" ROSEMOUNT
MINNESOTA
June 9,2015
To the Honorable Mayor, Council Members, and the Citizens of the City of Rosemount:
Minnesota statutes require that all cities issue an annual financial report on its financial position and
activity prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and audited in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants
or the Office of the State Auditor. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive
annual financial report of the City of Rosemount (the City) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the financial
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to
protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information
for the preparation of the City's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Rosemount's financial statements have been audited by Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, a
firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, are free
of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable
basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31,2014, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany
the basic financial statement in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter
of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City
of Rosemount's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
The City was established as a municipal corporation in 1858, and became a statutory City in 1974. The
City has a Mayor-Council form of government, with the four Council members being elected to
overlapping four-year terms of office and the Mayor serving a four-year term coinciding with the terms of
two of the Council members. This term for the Mayor was a change instituted in 1996. Prior to that, the
Mayor was elected every two years. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing
ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring the City's chief administrative officer.
The City's chief administrative officer is the City Administrator, who is appointed by and serves at the
discretion of the City Council. The City Administrator is responsible for carrying out the policies and
ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City and for appointing the
heads of the City's various departments, with the City Council's final approval.
The City of Rosemount is a growing southern suburb in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area,
located in Dakota County. The City encompasses approximately 36 square miles. The City is one of the
fastest growing communities in the seven-county Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area as demonstrated
by the following population trend:
Population Percent
Population Increase Increase
2014 Staff Estimate 23,044 1,170 5.33%
2010 Census 21,874 7,255 50%
2000 Census 14,619 5,997 70%
1990 Census 8,622 3,539 70%
1980 Census 5,083 1,049 26%
1970 Census 4,034
Rosemount has an extensive system of State and County highways and 108 miles of city streets that
continue to contribute to the community's growth. This extensive highway network and large tracts of
attractive, developable land have made the City an ideal location for residential development and
increasingly commercial/industrial development. There is over 1,000 acres of industrial and commercially
zoned property ready for development. There is also about 1,000 acres of property within the Municipal
Service Area (MUSA) to permit future residential growth. Rail, air, barge and freeway access provides
Rosemount's economic community with an expedient transportation system. Four major highways link
Rosemount to Minneapolis, St. Paul and the rest of the metropolitan area.
The City provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; the construction and
maintenance of highways, streets, and other infrastructure; water, sewer, and storm water services; and
recreational activities and cultural events. Certain economic development services are provided through
the Rosemount Port Authority. The Port Authority's financial data has been presented in this financial
report as a blended component unit.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. All departments
of the City submit requests for appropriation to the City Administrator on or before May 1 st of each year.
The City Administrator uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget. The
City Administrator then presents this proposed budget to the Council for review and adoption of a
preliminary levy by September so". The council holds a public hearing on the proposed budget and must
adopt a final budget and levy by no later than December zo", prior to the close of the City's fiscal year.
ii
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and function. The City's department heads
may make transfers of appropriations within a department; transfers of appropriation between
departments require approval of the City Council. BUdget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this
report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been
adopted. For the general fund, this comparison is presented on pages 51-52 as part of the Required
Supplementary Information.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local economy Rosemount continues to have a significant amount of land available for future
development. The western one third of the community is urbanized with new neighborhoods under
construction in the central portion of the community. This is the area which was the subject of an
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) completed in 2007. A similar review was undertaken and
approved in 2013 for the 5,000 acres owned by the University of Minnesota in Rosemount and to the
south, in Empire Township. The City continues to work with University representatives to market the
business park area on the east side of the landholdings and attract residential development in the west.
The City is experiencing more inquiries about available land for new residential and industrial
development. Projects that were abandoned several years ago are now being purchased by builders
looking to finish the neighborhoods. The largest taxpayers continue to be the same landholders the City
has seen for the last several years. Flint Hills Resources continues to be the largest tax payer with
approximately 12.9% of the City's total local tax capacity.
Labor market data is very impressive for the State, Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Dakota
County, in which Rosemount is located. 2014 labor force numbers were 2,964,848; 1,876,171; and
233,829 respectively with unemployment rates of 3.6%; 3.3% and 3.2% to match. These figures compare
quite favorably with national figures.
Community leadership has preserved 533 beautiful acres of land for 29 parks. Residents can enjoy a
round of golf on a 27-hole public course. Bordered by the scenic Mississippi River, Rosemount also
contains 270 acres of the Spring Lake Regional Park Preserve. Rosemount's Community Center, a part
of the Army National Guard's regional headquarters, provides a variety of indoor recreation opportunities
and meeting spaces, including an ice arena, gymnasium, auditorium and banquet facility.
Given the underlying strength of the economy in the seven county metropolitan area, the diversification of
tax and employment bases and Rosemount's desirable location, the future outlook is very optimistic.
Long-term financial planning Growth and development in the City is guided by the adopted 2030
Comprehensive Plan. The Plan, approved in 2009, has been amended on several occasions to permit
new development more reflective of the current market demand than what was envisioned when adopted.
The City has started to compile information associated with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan process. The
current plan anticipates 6,500 more acres of urbanized growth for all types of development; residential,
industrial and commercial. It is anticipated that land uses, and potentially future development locations
may be modified in the upcoming Comprehensive Plan due to market demand, existing infrastructure and
land ownership.
Other factors New residential units continue to increase over the previous year. In 2013 there were 96
building permits pulled for new residential units; in 2014 there were 180 permitted units. A large part of
the increase came from a 92-unit senior housing facility to be located in the City's historic Downtown.
There are presently 234 platted lots available for residential development. 123 of these lots were
designated for multi-family and had been left vacant during the economic downturn. A developer is
picking up one of the projects and another is investigating building out the remaining, previously approved
townhomes.
iii
Recent construction has resulted in a significant increase in future valuation for the community tax base.
The estimated value of residential construction in 2014 was $45,310,000, which is greater than all the
years since 2006. Commercial and industrial growth has also accelerated with a total estimated
construction value of $28,000,000. Large industrial construction projects included blast modules and
upgrades at Flint Hills Refinery, a processing building at SKB Environmental and tenant improvements at
Akona. Commercial projects include a new retail space for Fluegels, Anytime Fitness retail mall, tenant
finishes for Chuck & Don's and Von Hanson's, and interior upgrades at the Marcus Theater.
Planning approvals for two new senior housing projects will bring a needed housing style to the
community and increase permit revenues and tax base. Additional growth is anticipated in the single
family neighborhoods centered on Akron Avenue.
Mobile Technology In 2014, we expanded our use of web mapping applications for all the utility
maintenance processes (hydrant flushing, gate valve inspections, sump inspections / cleaning and sewer
jetting). The new applications eliminated some of the licensing and access issues we experienced in the
past when multiple users needed the software simultaneously. Support staff continues to explore new
technologies that allow the maintenance staff to be more productive and efficient in their daily activities.
Capital Improvement Projects The Public Works Department coordinated and / or completed several
capital improvement projects in 2014:
• Roof replacement on City Hall
• Elevator upgrades at City Hall
• Remodel front office area at City Hall, including new carpet
• Replace HVAC units at City Hall and Fire Station 1
• Pump recondition at Well 12
• Inspection of all four water towers
• Hydrant painting (approximately 120 hydrants)
• Wash and stain bandshell at Central Park
• New roof, new fascia and new stain at Schwarz Park shelter
2014 Street Improvements The 2014 Street Improvement Project included mill and overlay
improvements to 0.6 miles of streets in the Carrollton 2nd Addition, as well as 0.6 miles of Shannon
Parkway from 145th Street West to Connemara Trail.
Construction Projects
The Engineering Division coordinated the work on several construction projects in 2014:
• Prestwick Place 8th, s" and io" Additions - These neighborhoods include a total of 68 single-
family homes. It is the continuation of the development of Prestwick Place, located west of Akron
Avenue along Connemara Trail.
• Greystone 3rd Addition - The third phase of the Greystone development includes 19 single-family
homes. It is located on the east side of Akron Avenue, north of CSAH 42.
• Bella Vista 2nd Addition - This neighborhood includes 28 single-family homes and is the first
phase of the Bella Vista development located east of Bacardi Avenue and north of Bonaire Path.
• Bacardi Avenue - This project involves upgrading approximately Y2 mile of Bacardi Avenue to a
paved roadway. Trunk water main and sanitary sewer were installed to serve future residential
development to the east of Bacardi Avenue.
• Well 16 - The City's eighth municipal well is located on Bacardi Avenue at the northwest corner
of the Bella Vista development. The production well will be drilled in 2015 and is expected to go
online in 2016.
iv
The Police Department is responsible for policing services to the community to ensure safety and
response to service calls. A Community Oriented Policing philosophy is core to all services through
partnerships and relationships with citizens, businesses and community organizations. Staffing levels are
continually evaluated to meet the needs of a growing community. The specific service functions within
the Police Department are described below.
• Police Administration - The budget provides for the overall leadership, planning, coordination and
management of personnel and administration of activities within the Police Department. This includes
the collection, preparation and filing of crime data and miscellaneous reports with the State of
Minnesota; preparation and oversight of the operating and capital improvements budgets; and
strategic planning for the future needs of the Department and the community. Police Department
leadership is also involved in many consolidated services governance boards that contribute to
policing services for the city. The Dakota Communications Center (DCC), Criminal Justice Integrated
Information Network (CJIIN), Dakota County Drug Task Forces and Dakota County Multi-Agency
Assistance Group (MAAG) are consolidated services organizations that contribute to Rosemount's
policing services.
• Records Unit - The Police Department's Records Unit is responsible for the processing of over 2,200
case reports each year. Reports require transcription and compilation for transmittal to the city or
county prosecutor's office or any other agency (e.g., social services, county crises, corrections)
requiring information for service to the community. Records staff ensure the Police Department is
compliant with all Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension data management laws, regulations
and reporting requirements. Administrative support is provided to the entire Police Department for
gun permit applications, criminal background checks and city licensing requirements.
• Patrol Operations - Uniformed patrol is the core function of the Police Department and the most
visible in the community. Through 24-hour daily patrols in marked police vehicles, patrol officers
respond to calls for service, investigate traffic accidents, conduct preliminary criminal investigations,
enforce traffic laws and enforce criminal laws. Patrol Officers respond to medical calls as trained first
responders. Through patrol operations the Police Department meets its goal of the protection of life
and property and creating a sense of safety and security in the community. Patrol Officers spend a
significant amount of time developing relationships within the community and contacting members of
community organizations. Patrol Officers perform additional specialty assignments as Crime Scene
Technicians, Use-of-Force Instructors, Special Operations Team (SOT), Multi-Agency Assistance
Group (MAAG) Tactical Officers, Drug Recognition Experts, and Field Training Officers.
• Criminal Investigations - Patrol Officers and investigators are responsible for the investigation of
criminal incidents through evidence gathering and analysis, witness and suspect interviews, and court
preparation and testimony. Complex investigations or those requiring multi-jurisdictional or agency
involvement are coordinated by the investigator. This is accomplished by working cooperatively with
other police agencies, the County Attorney's Office, Child Protection, victim services and other local,
state and federal law enforcement agencies. One investigator is assigned to the Dakota County Drug
Task Force, a multi-jurisdictional joint powers entity, whose mission is to investigate drug crimes in
the City of Rosemount and throughout Dakota County. In 2014 we added an investigative Sergeant.
He is responsible for overseeing the investigative division which includes the Community Resource
Officer (CRO), the School Resource Officer (SRO), Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), the Drug Task
Force Officer along with the two officers assigned to be investigators.
• Crime Prevention and Community Education
A significant effort is made by the Police Department to inform residents of crime within the
community, methods that citizens can take to help prevent crimes and building relationships with
community members. While these objectives are part of each officer's daily responsibilities, there are
specific programs that are frequently associated with community policing and that emphasize the
v
need for the police and citizens to work together to prevent criminal activity and reduce the
opportunities for criminals to commit crimes.
~ School Liaison - Officers serve as a liaison to the Rosemount Middle and the Rosemount
High School. One officer is assigned full-time to the High School and a second officer
spends one-quarter time at the Middle School. The liaison officers investigate criminal
incidents that occur at the schools or that involve students at the schools. In addition, the
liaisons work with the school staff to enhance the safety and security for both staff and
students. Presentations on a variety of topics are made by the liaison to classes at all grade
levels. The Middle School officer also spends time at each of the elementary schools,
working with staff on any issues and making presentations in classes.
~ Community Education - In order to work together with the community, police must share
information concerning criminal activity and crime prevention with the community. Officers
are available to make presentations to community groups and organizations on a variety of
topics. In addition, officers provide prevention tips to persons on a daily basis who report
criminal activity. Several events are also held throughout the year in an effort to build
relationships with the residents and business persons. These include Night-to-Unite block
parties and gatherings, Neighborhood Watch meetings and Public Safety in the Park events.
~ Reserve Officer Program - Reserve officers are volunteers who supplement the staff of
sworn officers of the Department. The reserve officers are utilized to handle traffic and crowd
control duties during city festivals and celebrations or emergencies, such as hazardous
materials spills or leaks, damage resulting from tornadoes or other severe weather and major
criminal incidents. Reserve officers patrol on some evenings and handle service calls; for
example, asslstinq stalled motorists and animal complaints. They are also utilized regularly
to provide crime prevention information to citizens at community events or through other
programs.
~ Chaplain Program - The Police Chaplains assist in a variety of situations in which individuals
or families are having difficulties. Chaplains are able to provide support to persons that are
experiencing stress as a result of the death of a loved one, marital or family problems,
financial struggles or any other event. By utilizing the chaplains to console and counsel
persons in crisis, police officers are able to focus on their primary duties, while the chaplains
are able to remain with the persons involved in the crisis.
---- ----------- --- • Animal Control- The Police Department is responsible for the enforcement of ordinances related to
the control and care of domestic animals. These tasks are mainly handled by Community Service
Officers. Their duties include the licensing of dogs and ferrets, assisting in the handling of stray, lost
or injured animals and other complaints of animals causing a nuisance by barking, howling or being
allowed to roam off the owner's property.
• Code Enforcement - The Police Department assists the Community Development Department with
code enforcement of city ordinances related to property maintenance and outside storage. The
Department's Community Service Officers primarily handle this effort. Property owners that are
observed to be in violation of an ordinance are notified of the violation and given an explanation of
how to remedy the violation. The enforcement of city ordinances is important to maintain community
standards, which help the City attain its mission of providing a safe, healthy and pleasant community.
• Emergency Management - The City has an all-hazards emergency plan and the Chief of Police
serves as the City's emergency manager. The emergency manager is responsible for the
development of emergency plans in the event of a chemical, technical or natural disaster in the
community (e.g. tornado, flooding, school shooting, or hazardous materials release). The Chief of
Police represents the City of Rosemount on the Dakota County Domestic Preparedness Committee
(DCDPC). The DCDPC is comprised of police, fire, dispatch, EMS, public health, and medical facility
representatives to aid all Dakota County cities and Dakota County with all-hazards emergency
planning and leadership.
vi
In 1999, a Family Resource Center building in Rosemount began operations. The 3600 Communities
organization (formerly the Community Action Council [CAC]) and other service providers utilize this
building to work with families in need in our community. The City constructed the building with funding
coming entirely from grants and donations and leases the building to 3600 Communities to house their
Rosemount operations.
City's financial policies During the current year, none of the City's financial polices had a significant
impact on the financial statements.
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 Rosemount for its
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. This was the
eighteenth consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the efficient
and dedicated services of the Finance Department. We would like to express our appreciation to all
members of City staff who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. We would also like
to express our appreciation to the Mayor and the members of the City Council for their interest and
support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive
manner.

Rosemount, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type

as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Rosemount's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City of Rosemount's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Rosemount's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Rosemount, Minnesota, as of December 31,2014 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.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information and schedule of funding progress as listed in the
table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide
us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Rosemount's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial
statements and schedules as listed in the table of contents are 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 combining and
individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Rosemount's basic financial statements. The introductory and statistical sections are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Unaudited)
As management of the City of Rosemount (the City), we offer readers of the City's financial statements
this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction
with the City's financial statements following this section.
Financial Highlights
> The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the
most recent fiscal year by $203,593,295 (net position). Of this amount, $40,272,527 (unrestricted
net position) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
> The City's total net position increased by $8,452,230. Most of this increase is attributable to an
increase of our capital assets which included significant funding by developers, as well as a
contribution received from the maturity of a trust.
> At year end, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $6,288,615, or 55 percent of the
total General Fund expenditures budgeted for the upcoming year. Comparison of this balance to
prior years' balances is illustrated on the table on page 8.
> The City's total debt increased by $285,000 (approximately 2%) during the current year. The
reason for this increase was that there was one larger new debt issuance for new development,
offset almost entirely by the normally scheduled payments on existing debt.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains other 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's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities/deferred
inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government'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/vested but unused vacation and sick leave).
Page 1
Both the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City 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 include general government, public safety, public
works, recreation, and community development. The business-type activities of the City include water,
sewer, storm water and an ice arena.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself, but also a legally separate port
authority, which functions as the economic development arm of the City, and therefore has been blended
in with the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 11-12 of this report.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the
funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service
fund, capital projects fund, and the Port Authority TIF fund all of which are considered major funds. Data
from the three other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual
fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement
has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 14-16 of this report.
Page 2
Proprietary funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City
uses enterprise funds to account for its public utilities and ice arena operations. The internal service fund
is an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions.
The City uses its internal service fund to account for insurance premiums and deductibles and to
accumulate resources for the risk of uninsured loss. Because this service predominantly benefits
governmental rather than business-type functions, it has 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 each of the
public utilities, which are considered to be major funds of the City, and information on the ice arena fund,
which is considered a non-major fund. The internal service fund is also presented separately in the
proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 17-19 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found
on pages 20-50 of this report. \
Other information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are
presented following the basic financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and
schedules can be found on pages 54-58 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by
$203,593,295 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position (77 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure) less any related debt used to acquire those
assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in 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.

An additional portion of the City's net position ($6,687,958 or 3%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance representing unrestricted net
position ($40,272,527 or 20%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of
net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-
type activities.
Governmental activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $5,271,633, accounting for 62% of the total
growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase (from governmental activities) of
$3,370,957 in 2013. Revenues increased by approximately $979,000 related to charges for services,
$2,775,000 related to capital grants and contributions and approximately $778,000 for changes in the fair
value of investments in 2014. The primary factor for the overall increase in net position from 2013 was
due to the nature of the capital projects during 2014.
Business-type activities
Business-type activities increased the City's net position by $3,180,597, accounting for 38% of the total
growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase of $1 ,613,243 in 2013. The
primary reasons for the larger current year increase was an increase in the net transfers from
governmental activities of approximately $1,048,000 and an increase in the change in fair value of
investments of approximately $668,000.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
Page 7
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $24,782,008, an increase of $4,352,222 in comparison with the prior year. $6,288,615
constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion (this
amount is entirely in the General Fund and is typically available to meet cash flow needs). A small amount
($76,238) is classified as nonspendable in regards to prepaid items, $6,397,867 is classified as restricted
to meet debt service requirements and the remainder of the fund balance is considered to be committed
or assigned and unavailable for discretionary spending.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned
fund balance of the General Fund was $6,288,615, while total fund balance reached $9,163,647. The
following table shows year-end General Fund balances as compared to the adopted expenditure budget
of the following year:

* This amount represents the unassigned General Fund balance
During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund increased by $286,987. The
increase was intentional as the City has determined, through the adoption of a formal Fund Balance
Policy, it would like to maintain an unassigned fund balance of 55 percent of the next General Fund
operating expenditure budget. Forty to fifty percent normally provides adequate working capital to finance
General Fund operations until property taxes and state aids are received. The desired unassigned fund
balance level also provides a certain amount of comfort that unforeseen emergencies can be addressed
without causing an immediate financial crisis.
As of December 31, 2014, 100 percent of the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund has been
designated to meet working capital needs.
The debt service fund balance increased by $421,157 primarily due to special assessment payments
collected for future debt service payments. The capital projects fund balance increased by $3,075,705
due to new debt being issued and an increase in transfers into the fund. The Port Authority TIF fund
balance decreased by $24,488 due to limited spending.
Proprietary funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the utility funds at the end of the year amounted to $19,065,696 while the
arena fund had an unrestricted net position amounting to $282,741. The increase in total net position for
the utility funds was $3,169,956 (of which $4,196,691 related to capital contributions into the utility funds
and $1,520,638 of net cash transfers out of the utility funds) and the increase in total net position for the
arena fund was $10,641 which included net transfers in of $111,500.
Page 8
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
There were a few significant variances between final budgeted revenues and actual amounts. Building
permit revenue exceeded budget by approximately $292,000 because of a larger than expected increase
in activity. General government charges for services exceeded budget by approximately $157,000 due
mostly to a significant increase in plan checking fees and zoning fees related to volume of activity.
Investment returns were approximately $333,000 in excess of budget mostly due to the adjustment of the
fair value of investments at 2013 year-end compared to 2014 year-end due to market conditions. All
other revenue areas experienced either small surpluses or deficits that led to the final surplus amount.
Overall, total department expenditures ended up being a little over two percent under budget with most
being slightly less than budgeted and a few being just slightly over budget. The reason for the final
expenditures being more than budgeted were transfers and assignments made prior to the final year-end
close that adjusted the fund balance to 55% per the City's Fund Balance Policy.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of December
31, 2014, amounts to $174,147,810 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets
includes land, buildings and structures, machinery and equipment, water, sewer, and storm water
systems, infrastructure and construction in progress.
Major capital assets events during the current fiscal year included the following:

report.
Long-term debt
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $17,515,000 (including
debt recorded in the Port Authority). Of this amount, $7,180,000 was for general obligation improvement
debt which has financed special assessment construction as part the continuing development within the
City. An additional $6,925,000 was general obligation debt issued by the Port Authority which financed
the City's economic development and redevelopment programs. Another $1,400,000 was general
obligation revenue bond debt issued to add to and improve the water and storm water utility systems
within the City. The remaining $2,010,000 was general obligation and general obligation refunding debt.
Page 9
The City's total debt increased by $285,000, or approximately 2%, during the current fiscal year. The
reason for this increase was that there was one larger new debt issuance for new development, offset
almost entirely by the normally scheduled payments on existing debt.
Cities in Minnesota may issue general obligation debt up to a maximum of three percent of the total
estimated market value of property within the city, per state statutes. The current debt limit for the City is
$58,458,431. Of the City's $17,515,000 in outstanding general obligation debt at the current fiscal year
end, $2,010,000 is subject to the restrictions placed by state statute.
The City received a bond rating upgrade from Aa3 to Aa2 in 2010. These excellent ratings have had a
positive effect on the sale of the City's bonds.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note IV.E. on pages 42-44 of this
report.
Economic Factors
> Dakota County's unemployment rate ended the year at 3.2 percent, which compares favorably
with the state unemployment rate of 3.6 percent, and the national unemployment rate of 5.4
percent.
> City building permits were up significantly in quantity and in value in 2014, as compared to 2013.
A total of 2,879 permits with a total valuation of $75,168,593 were issued in 2014.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended December 31,2014
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 4,352,222
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of net position the cost of these assets is capitalized and they are
depreciated over their estimated useful lives with depreciation expense reported
in the statement of activities.
Capital outlay is reported as an expenditure in the fund financial statements
but is capitalized in the government-wide financial statements
Some items reported as capital outlay but not capitalized
Some items reported as operating expenditures in the fund financial statements but
are capitalized in the government-wide statements
Depreciation is reported in the government-wide statements
Utility infrastructure constructed by capital projects funds not reported
as governmental activities
In the statement of activities, the loss of ($1 ,833,139) on the disposal of
capital assets is reported. In the fund financial statements, proceeds from the sale
of capital assets $348,335 are reported because the proceeds increase
financial resources
Internal service funds are reported in the statement of activities.
Receivables not currently available are reported as unavailable revenue in the fund financial
statements but are recognized as revenue when earned in the government-wide
financial statements.
Issuing debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing
debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
This is the amount of debt issued during the year.
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. This is the amount
of principal payments paid.
Some expenses in the statement of activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures
in the governmental funds. This is the change in the following liabilities.
Compensated absences
Accrued interest on debt

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Year Ended December 31,2014
NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Rosemount, Minnesota (the "City") was formed and operates pursuant to applicable Minnesota
laws and statutes. The governing body consists of a five-member City Council elected at large by voters of
the City. City Council members serve four-year staggered terms and the mayor serves a four-year term
coinciding with the terms of two of the Council members. Elections take place every two years.
The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, as applicable to governmental units. The accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles in the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
A. REPORTING ENTITY
This report includes all of the funds of the City. The reporting entity for the City consists of the primary
government and its component unit. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable or other organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that their exclusion would cause
the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The primary government is financially
accountable if (1) it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and it is able to
impose its will on that organization, (2) it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body
and there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific
financial burdens on, the primary government, (3) the organization is fiscally dependent on and there is a
potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens
on, the primary government. Certain legally separate, tax exempt organizations should also be reported
as a component unit if all of the following criteria are met: (1) the economic resources received or held
by the separate organization are entirely or almost entirely for the direct benefit of the primary
government, its component units, or its constituents; (2) the primary government or its component units,
is entitled to, or has the ability to access, a majority of the economic resources received or held by the
separate organization; and (3) the economic resources received or held by an individual organization
that the primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access,
are Significant to the primary government.
Component units are reported using one of two methods, discrete presentation or blending. Generally,
component units should be discretely presented in a separate column in the financial statements. A
component unit should be reported as part of the primary government using the blending method if it
meets anyone of the following criteria: (1) the primary government and the component unit have
substantially the same governing body and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists, (2) the
primary government and the component unit have substantially the same governing body and
management of the primary government has operational responsibility for the component unit, (3) the
component unit serves or benefits, exclusively or almost exclusively, the primary government rather than
its citizens, or (4) the total debt of the component unit will be paid entirely or almost entirely from
resources of the primary government.
The financial statements include the Rosemount Port Authority as a blended component unit. The Port
Authority serves all the citizens of the government and is governed by a board comprised of three of five
of the primary government's elected council and four citizens appointed at large. The bond issuance
authorizations are approved by the primary government's council and the legal liability for the general
obligation portion of the Port Authority's debt remains with the primary government. The Port Authority is
reported in a special revenue fund and debt service fund. The Rosemount Port Authority does not issue
separate financial statements.

As of and for the Year Ended December 31,2014
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting
government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity except for fiduciary funds. The
statements distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities
generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues.
Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods
or services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function, or
segment, are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. The City does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the statement
of activities. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are
reported as general revenues. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
Financial statements of the reporting entity are organized into funds, each of which is considered to be a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing
accounts, which constitute its assets, deferred outflows or resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of
resources, net position/fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.
Funds are organized as major funds or non-major funds within the governmental and proprietary
statements. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A
fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets/deferred outflows of resources, liabilities/deferred inflows of resources, revenues, or
expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10% of the
corresponding total for all funds of that category or type, and.
b. The same element of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund that met the 10% test is
at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.
c. In addition, any other governmental or enterprise fund that the City believes is particularly
important to financial statement users may be reported as a major fund.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds,
even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.

Fund Financial Statements (cont.)
In addition, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by
one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Insurance Fund - accumulates resources to pay deductibles and uninsured claims, and
pays for a majority of the general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance
premiums for the City.
c. MEASUREMENT Focus, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide statement of net position and statement of activities are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is
incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting
from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. 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 are met. Special
assessments are recorded as revenue when earned. Unbilled receivables are recorded as revenues
when services are provided.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and sewer utility and
various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when they are both
measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter
to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are
recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on long-term debt,
claims, judgments, compensated absences, and pension expenditures, which are recorded as a fund
liability when expected to be paid with expendable available financial resources.

As of and for the Year Ended December 31,2014
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
c. MEASUREMENT Focus, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (cont.)
Fund Financial Statements (cont.)
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest
associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to 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.
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting, as described previously in this note. Agency funds follow the accrual basis
of accounting, and do not have a measurement focus.
The proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the water, sewer, storm water, and arena funds are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for proprietary 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.
All Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY
1. Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with an initial
maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Investment of City funds is restricted by state statutes. Available investments are limited to:
1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies, commercial
paper, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S.
Government Securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or certain Minnesota
brokers/dealers.
2. General obligations of the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities.

D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (cont.)
1. Deposits and Investments (cont.)
3. Bankers acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
4. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940
and whose only investments are direct obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
The City has adopted an investment policy. The policy contains the following guidelines:
Credit Risk - The policy follows state statutes for allowable investments except that it does
not permit the purchase of shares of investment companies registered under the Federal
Investment Company Act of 1940 whose only investments are direct obligations guaranteed
by the United States or its agencies.
Concentration of Credit Risk - The policy does not limit the amount the City may invest in
anyone issu/er.
Interest Rate Risk - As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from
rising interest rates, the City's investment policy limits the amount of investments with
maturities of more than five years to 35% of the City's total investment portfolio (including
certificates of deposit).
Investments are stated at fair value, which is the amount at which an investment could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties. Fair values are based on quoted market prices. No
investments are reported at amortized cost. Adjustments necessary to record investments at fair value
are recorded in the operating statement as increases or decreases in investment income. The
difference between the bank statement balance and carrying value is due to outstanding checks and/or
deposits in transit.
See Note IVA for further information.
2. Receivables
Property tax levies are set by the City Council in the fall each year and are certified to Dakota County for
collection in the following year. In Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all property taxes.
The County spreads all levies over taxable property. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are
recorded as receivables by the City at that date. Property taxes are accrued and recognized as revenue in
the year collectible, net of delinquencies.
Real property taxes may be paid by taxpayers in two equal installments on May 15 and October 15.
Personal property taxes may be paid on February 28 and June 30. The County provides tax settlements to
the City three times per year, in January, July, and December.
Taxes which remain unpaid 60 days after year end are classified as delinquent taxes receivable and are
fully offset by unavailable revenue (deferred inflow of resources) because they are not known to be
available to finance current expenditures.

2. Receivables (cont.)
Special assessments are levied against the benefited properties for the assessable costs of special
assessments improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. The City usually adopts the
assessment rolls when the individual projects are complete. The assessments are collectible over a term
of years generally consistent with the term of years of the related bond issue. Collection of annual
installments (including interest) is handled by the County in the same manner as property taxes. Property
owners are allowed to prepay total future installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
Special assessments receivable includes the following components:
> Current - amount collected by Dakota County and not remitted to the City.
> Delinquent - amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
> Unavailable - assessment installments, which will be billed to property owners in future years.
> Other - assessments for which payment has been postponed based on council action.
Accounts receivable are considered to be 100% collectible.
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds that may result in amounts
owed between funds. Short-term interfund loans are reported as "due to and from other funds." Long-term
interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other funds." Interfund
receivables and payables between funds within governmental activities are eliminated in the statement of
net position. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type
activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
In the governmental fund financial statements, advances to other funds are offset equally by a
nonspendable fund balance account which indicates that they do not constitute expendable available
financial resources and, therefore, are not available for appropriation or by a restricted fund balance
account, if the funds will ultimately be restricted when the advance is repaid.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Governmental fund inventory items are charged to expenditure accounts when purchased. Year-end
inventory was not significant. Proprietary fund inventories are generally used for construction and for
operation and maintenance work. They are not for resale. They are valued at cost based on weighted
average, and charged to construction and/or operation and maintenance expense when used.
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 and expensed as the items are
used (consumption method).

4. Capital Assets
Government - Wide Statements
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial cost of more than
$5,000 for general capital assets and infrastructure assets, and an estimated useful life in excess of one
year. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual amounts are
unavailable. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation.
Additions to and replacements of capital assets of business-type activities are recorded at original cost,
which includes material, labor, overhead, and an allowance for the cost of funds used during construction
when significant. For tax-exempt debt, the amount of interest capitalized equals the interest expense
incurred during construction netted against any interest revenue from temporary investment of borrowed
fund proceeds. No interest was capitalized during the current year. The cost of renewals and betterments
relating to retirement units is added to plant accounts. The cost of property replaced retired or otherwise
disposed of, is deducted from plant accounts and, generally, together with removal costs less salvage, is
charged to accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the statement of
activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the statement of net position. Depreciation is
provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range
of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:
Buildings
Machinery and equipment
Other improvements
Utility system
I nfrastructu re
30-65 Years
4-20 Years
60 Years
65 Years
35-50 Years
Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as
capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary
fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the government-wide statements.
5. Compensated Absences
Under terms of employment, employees are granted vacation, sick and comp time benefits in varying
amounts. These benefits are based upon union contracts and City actions as applicable. Amounts carried
forward for vacation and comp time accruals are governed by these contracts and actions. Sick pay
accruals may be carried forward indefinitely.

NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (cont.)
5. Compensated Absences (cont.)
All vested vacation, sick leave and comp time pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and
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, and are payable
with expendable available resources.
Payments for vacation, sick and comp time leave will be made at rates in effect when the benefits are
used. Accumulated vacation, sick and comp time leave liabilities at December 31,2014 are determined on
the basis of current salary rates and include salary related payments.
6. Long-Term Obligations/Conduit Debt
All long-term obligations to be repaid from governmental and business-type resources are reported as
liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term obligations consist primarily of notes and
bonds payable, and accrued compensated absences.
Long-term obligations for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial
statements. The face value of debts (plus any premiums) are reported as another financing source and
payments of principal and interest are reported as expenditures. The accounting in proprietary funds is the
same as it is in the government-wide statements.
The City has approved the issuance of industrial revenue bonds (IRB) for the benefit of private business
enterprises. IRB's are secured by mortgages or revenue agreements on the associated projects, and do
not constitute indebtedness of the City. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements. At year end, the aggregate principal amount for the four issues
outstanding could not be determined; however, their original issue amounts totaled $13,094,720.
7. Deferred Inflows of Resources
A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and
therefore will not be recognized as inflow of resources (revenue) until that future time.
8. Equity Classifications
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets,
net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances (excluding unspent
debt proceeds) of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to
the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.

b. Restricted net position - Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use either by
1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or, 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net position - All other net positions that do not meet the definitions of "restricted"
or "net investment in capital assets."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Statements
Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance and displayed as follows:
a. Nonspendable - Includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because they are
not in spendable form or because legal or contractual requirements require them to be
maintained intact.
b. Restricted - Consists of fund balances with constraints placed on their use either by 1) external
groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or 2)
law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Committed - Includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are
internally imposed by the government through formal action of the highest level of decision
making authority. Fund balance amounts are committed through a formal action (resolution) of the
City Council. This formal action must occur prior to the end of the reporting period, but the amount
of the commitment, which will be subject to the constraints, may be determined in the subsequent
period. Any changes to the constraints imposed require the same formal action of the City Council
that originally created the commitment.
d. Assigned - Includes spendable fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for specific
purposes that are not considered restricted or committed. Fund balance may be assigned through
the following: 1) The City Council has authorized the Finance Director and/or Administrator to
assign amounts for a specific purpose. 2) All remaining positive spendable amounts in
governmental funds, other than the general fund, that are neither restricted or committed.
Assignments may take place after the end of the reporting period.
e. Unassigned - Includes residual positive fund balance within the general fund which has not been
classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassigned fund balance may also
include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted,
committed, or assigned for those purposes.

8. Equity Classifications (cont.)
Fund Statements (cont.)
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance
is available unless there are legal documents / contracts that prohibit doing this, such as in grant
agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the City would first use committed, then
assigned and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made.
The City has a formal minimum fund balance policy. That policy is to maintain a working capital fund of 45
to 55 percent of the subsequent year's general fund expenditures. The balance at year end was
$6,288,615, or 55 percent, and is included in unassigned general fund balance.
9. Prior Period Information
The basic financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but
not at the level of detail required for a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the government's financial
statements for the year ended December 31,2013, from which the summarized information was derived.
10. Basis for Existing Rates
Current utility rates were approved by the City Council on December 17, 2013.
NOTE 11- RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET AND
THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance - total
governmental funds and net position - governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that "Some liabilities, including long-
term debt, are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds". The
details of this $17,290,513 difference are as follows:

A. BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Annual budgets have been adopted for the general fund and the capital project fund that is created by the
following sub-funds, Building CIP, Street CIP and Equipment CIP. The remaining capital project sub funds
adopt project-length budgets and therefore are not included in the annual budgeting process. Formal
budgetary integration is not employed for debt service funds because effective budgetary control is
alternatively achieved through general obligation bond indenture provisions.
The budgeted amounts presented include any amendments made. The appropriated budget is prepared
by fund, department and function. The legal level of budgetary control is at the department level. The City
Council may authorize department heads to transfer budgeted appropriations within departments. The
Council approved several supplemental budgetary appropriations during the year, but they were not
considered material.
Appropriations lapse at year end unless specifically carried over. Carryovers to the following year were
$2,689,322.

A. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
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 sheet as cash and
investments. In addition, investments are separately held by several of the City's funds.
The City's cash and investments at year end were comprised of the following:
Carrying Statement Associated
Value Balances Risks
Petty cash and cash on hand $ 2,400 $ 2,400 N/A

Deposits in each local and area bank are insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for time and
savings accounts (including NOW accounts) and $250,000 for demand deposit accounts (interest-bearing
and non interest-bearing). In addition, if deposits are held in an institution outside of the state in which the
government is located, insured amounts are further limited to a total of $250,000 for the combined amount
of all deposit accounts.
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), created by the Securities Investor Protection Act of
1970, is an independent government-sponsored corporation (not an agency of the U.S. government).
SIPC membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which
$100,000 may be in cash.
Custodial Credit Risk
Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a financial institution failure, the City's deposits may not
be returned to the City.
The City maintains collateral agreements with its banks. At December 31, 2014, the banks had pledged
various government securities in the amount of $25,856,192 to secure the City's deposits. The City has no
custodial credit risk in regards to deposits at December 31,2014.
Investments
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the
City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. The City does not have any investments exposed to custodial credit risk.

The contributed plant figure above includes a slight difference from the amount disclosed in the non-
cash section of the statement of cash flows due to final cost allocation adjustments for the various
capital projects.
Generally, transfers are used to (1) move revenues from the fund that collects them to the fund that the
budget requires to expend them, (2) move receipts restricted to debt service from the funds collecting the
receipts to the debt service fund, and (3) use unrestricted revenues collected in the general fund to
finance various programs accounted for in other funds in accordance with budgetary authorizations.
For the statement of activities, interfund transfers within the governmental activities or business-type
activities are netted and eliminated.

Estimated payments of compensated absences are not included in the debt service requirement
schedules. The compensated absences liability attributable to governmental activities will be liquidated
primarily by the general fund.
There are a number of limitations and restrictions contained in the various bond indentures and loan
agreements. The City believes it is in compliance with all significant limitations and restrictions, including
federal arbitrage regulations.
The water and storm water utilities have pledged future water and storm water revenues, net of specified
operating expenses, to repay revenue bonds issued in 2000, 2007, and 2010. Proceeds from bonds
provided financing for utility improvements. The bonds are payable solely from water and storm water
revenues and are payable through 2018. Annual principal and interest payments on the bonds are
expected to require 16% of net revenues. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the
bonds is $1,509,123. Principal and interest paid for the current year and the gross customer revenues
were $588,940 and $4,103,375, respectively.

A. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
City employees and firefighters participate in the pension plans administered by the Public Employees
Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA) and the Rosemount Volunteer Fire Relief Association. In
accordance with GASB Statement No. 27, the PERA plans are classified as multiple-employer, cost-
sharing plans, and the Association's plan is classified as a single-employer plan.
1. Public Employees Retirement Association
a. Plan Description
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City of Rosemount, Minnesota are covered
by defined benefit plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of
Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF) and
the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) which are cost-sharing, multiple-
employer retirement plans. These plans are established and administered in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan
members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members
must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, firefighters and peace officers
who qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to
survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute, and vest
after five years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member's
highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and years of
credit at termination of service.

A. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM (cont.)
1. Public Employees Retirement Association (cont.)
a. Plan Description (cont.)
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan
members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula
(Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for
a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service
and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for Coordinated Plan
member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.7 percent for
each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average
salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each year
of service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3.0 percent for each year of
service. For all PEPFF members and for GERF members whose annuity is calculated using
Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. A reduced
retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single-life
annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree - no survivor annuity is
payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will
be payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the fund upon
termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age.
Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but
before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions
and apply to active plan participants.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for GERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained on
the Internet at www.mnpera.org.bywritingtoPERAat60EmpireDrive#200.St. Paul,

b. Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions.
These statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual
contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. GERF Basic
Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1 % and 6.25%,
respectively, of their annual covered salary in 2014. PEPFF members were required to
contribute 10.2% of their annual covered salary in 2014. In 2014, the City of Rosemount was
required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll: 11.78% for Basic
Plan members, 7.25% for Coordinated Plan members, and 15.3% for PEPFF members. The
City's contributions to the GERF for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
were $264,550, $259,654 and $251,921, respectively. The City's contributions to the PEPFF
for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $303,908, $275,788 and
$272,834, respectively. The City's contributions were equal to the contractually required
contributions for each year as set by state statute. Contribution rates will increase on January
1, 2015 in the Coordinated Plan (6.5% for members and 7.5% for employers) and the Police
and Fire Fund (10.8% for members and 16.2% for employers).
2. Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association-Defined Benefit Pension Plan
a. Plan Description
The City of Rosemount contributes to the Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association
Pension Plan; a single-employer retirement system administered by the Rosemount Fire
Department Relief Association. The Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association provides
a lump-sum benefit to its members upon retirement, total disability or death. These benefit
provisions are established and can be amended by the Rosemount Fire Department Relief
Association's Board of Trustees with approval by the Rosemount City Council. The
Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the Rosemount Fire
Department Relief Association Pension Plan. That report may be obtained by writing to City of
Rosemount, 2875 145th Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068-4997, or by calling (651)
423-4411.
b. Funding Policy
The contribution requirements are established and may be amended by the Minnesota State
Legislature. The Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association is comprised of volunteers.
Therefore, there are no covered payroll amounts or member contributions required.
Individuals with at least 20 years of service who have reached age 50 are entitled to a lump-
sum payment of $6,900 per year of service. In the event an otherwise qualified member has
less than 20 years of service, the member is eligible for a pension payment of 60 percent after
10 years of service, increasing 4 percent for each year of service after 10 years to a
maximum of 100 percent. Members retiring before 50 do not receive distributions until age 50,
but interest at 5% per year is added to their retirement benefit until paid.

c. Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligations
Financial requirements of the Association are determined based on a formula prescribed in
Minnesota Statues 69.772. Those statutes prescribe a set amount of funding, per $100 of
lump-sum benefits payable per year of service. For associations with assets exceeding the
statutory pension liability, the financial requirements shall be the increase in the statutory
pension liability for the next year over the current year, reduced by an amount equal to one-
tenth of the surplus. For associations with a deficit of assets to fund the statutory pension
liability, the financial requirements shall be the increase in the statutory pension liability for
the next year over the current year, increased by an amount equal to one-tenth the deficit.
The City's minimum obligation is the financial requirement for the year less anticipated state
aids and interest on investments calculated at a rate of 5 percent. The value of assets was
determined using fair value. Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the last
reported sales price. Investments that do not have an established market value are reported
at estimated fair value.
The annual pension cost for the Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association Pension Plan
for the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:
Amount
State of Minnesota contribution
City of Rosemount contribution
$ 125,594
171,000
$ 296,594
The City recognizes the State of Minnesota's contributions to the Rosemount Fire Department
Relief Association Pension Plan as revenue and expense.

d. Required Supplementary Information, Schedule of Funding Progress
Ten-year historical trend information is presented in the Rosemount Firefighters Relief
Association's Annual Financial Report. This information is useful in assessing the pension
plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due.
The following historical trend information was obtained from the Association's financial report
for the year ended December 31,2014:
Assets as a Overfunded
Percentage of (Underfunded)
Accrued Accrued Accrued
Date Assets Liabilities Liabilities Liabilities
12-31-14 $ 3,348,776 $ 2,609,887 128% $ 738,889
12-31-13 2,874,130 2,468,808 116% 405,322
12-31-12 2,504,979 2,523,870 99% (18,891 )
Computations of the unfunded net pension obligation and employer contributions as a percent
of covered payroll are not applicable since the fire department is a volunteer organization and
no covered payroll exists. The accrued liabilities were determined pursuant to state statutes.
Significant assumptions include: the entry age normal actuarial cost method was used to
determine the normal cost of all benefits, level dollar amortization method, the rate of
investment return used in making the valuation was 5% per annum compounded annually,
age and service at retirement was assumed to occur at age 50, no turnover or early
retirements, projected salary increases and inflationary increases do not apply, no
postretirement benefit increases, and the amortization period is 20 years for normal cost and
10 years for prior service cost. The equivalent single amortization period was not made
available.
e. Related Party Transactions
As of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended, the Association held no securities
issued by City or other related parties.
B. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; workers compensation; and health care of its employees. The City purchases
commercial insurance and participates in a public entity risk pool called the Minnesota League of Cities
Insurance Trust to provide coverage for these various risks of loss. Settled claims have not exceeded
coverage in any of the past three years. There were no significant reductions in coverage compared to the
prior year.
Page 48
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Year Ended December 31,2014
NOTE V - OTHER INFORMATION (cont.)
B. RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)
The City has established an internal service fund (Insurance Fund) to account for and finance uninsured
risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, including deductibles. The
majority of the City's general liability and workers compensation insurance premiums are paid for by this
fund. At December 31, 2014, there are no claims liabilities in the Insurance Fund based on the
requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 10, which requires that a
liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that
it is probable a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated.
C. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the conditions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements are met. The liability and expenditure for claims and judgments are
only reported in governmental funds if it has matured. Claims and judgments are recorded in the
government-wide statements and proprietary funds as expenses when the related liabilities are incurred.
From time to time, the City is party to various pending claims and legal proceedings. Although the
outcome of such matters cannot be forecasted with certainty, it is the opinion of management and the City
attorney that the likelihood is remote that any such claims or proceedings will have a material adverse
effect on the City's financial position or results of operations.
The City has received federal and state grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by
the grantor agencies. Such audits could lead to requests for reimbursements to the grantor agency for
expenditures disallowed under terms of the grants. Management believes such disallowances, if any,
would be immaterial.
The City has active construction projects as of December 31,2014. Work that has been completed on
these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retainages) is reflected as accounts payable and
expenditures.
In 2007, the City committed to a municipal revenue obligation as part of a development agreement with
146th Street Partners, Limited Partnership. The amount of the obligation is $1,500,000, and is payable to
the developer solely from available tax increments collected from a specific portion of the development.
Payments are scheduled through the year 2032, and carry an interest rate of 4.96%. The obligation does
not constitute a charge upon any funds of the city. In the event that future tax increments are not sufficient
to payoff the obligation, the obligation terminates with no further liability to the city. Since the amount of
future payments is contingent on the collection of future TIF increments, the obligation is not reported as a
liability in the accompanying financial statements. The balance of the commitment outstanding at year end
has not been determined.

D. RELATED ORGANIZA TION
The City entered into an agreement with SKB Environmental, Inc. for the purpose of providing for the
construction and maintenance of facilities for public recreation, to improve living and working conditions
within the City, further public educational opportunities, and to provide for the charitable needs of the City.
This agreement created a trust called the City of Rosemount - SKB Environmental Trust Fund. Beginning
in 2011, the amount of distributions to the City would be equal to the excess of the trust value over
$1,525,000. The trust agreement states the funds can be used by the City for any lawful public purpose.
During 2014, the trust was liquidated and the City received a total of $1 ,588,610. In addition, SKB
Environmental, Inc. donated $400,000 to the City to be used toward the Rosemount Activity Center
project.
E. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ON CURRENT-PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has approved the following:
> Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 27
> Statement No. 71, Pension - Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement
Date - an amendment of GASB No. 68
When they become effective, application of these standards may restate portions of these financial
statements.

Note: Property values shown are established at January 1 of the year preceding the "Pay-Year" listed.
They are the basis of the taxes collected and applied to the "Pay-Year".
(1) For 1997 and 1998, the State Legislature changed the class rates of many types of property. This did not have an impact on the estimated market values
but it did have the effect of lowering the overall net tax capacity rates. Beginning with 2001, payable 2002, the State made massive changes to the class rates
of almost all properties. This resulted in large decreases in the overall net tax capacity rates. To offset part of this change, the State added a new "State Tax"
on commercial and industrial properties that helped make up part of the losses. Beginning with 2011, the State made changes in the valuations by adding a
"Market Value Exclusion" for properties valued at less than $414,000 that resulted in large reductions in the Estimated Market Values and the Net Tax Capacity Values.

Note: All rates are overlapping rates except for the "City" and the "City Market Referendum Rates" (these two are the
City's direct rates). Overlapping rates consist of the "School Districts", "Dakota County" and the "Special Districts".
(1) Beginning with property taxes payable in 1996, levies for voter approved referendums were based on market
value. Therefore, a separate rate for these market valued levies will be included for the applicable entity for the
life of the levies. Since these rates are calculated separately, they are not included in the total tax rates.

MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Independent Auditor's Report
.Hcncraole.Maycr.and.Members of__City_C_ouncll ..
City of Rosemount, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
the financial statements of the governmentai activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rosemount as of and for the year ended December 31,
2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 9, 2015.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions, promulgated by the State Auditor
pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 6.65, contains seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding,
deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous
provisions, and tax increment financing. Our study included all of the listed categories.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Rosemount
failed to comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions.
However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly,
had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City of
Rosemount's noncompliance with the abov~ referenced provisions.
This report is intended solely for the information and use those charged with governance and management of
the City of Rosemount and the State Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

--In--planning-and--performing-ouLaudiLoLthe financial.statements __ of.the.Citz.of.Rosemount.as.of and.for.the _year_
ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, we considered its internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing our
auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
However, as discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a
material weakness and other deficiencies that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal
control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We consider the following
deficiency in the City's internal control to be a material weakness:
> See the discussion on the following page under Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe
than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We
consider the following deficiency in the City's internal control to be a significant deficiency:
> See the discussion on the following page under Internal Control Environment.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, those charged with
governance, and others within the organization and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Properly designed systems of internal control provides your organization with the ability to process and
record monthly and year end transactions and prepare annual financial reports.
Our audit includes a review and evaluation of the City's internal controls relating to financial reporting.
Common attributes of a properly designed system of internal control for financial reporting are as follows:
> There is adequate staffing to prepare financial reports throughout and at the end of the year.
> Staff is properly trained and knowledgeable to perform all financial reporting functions.
> Material misstatements are identified and corrected during the normal course of duties.
> Complete and accurate financial statements including footnotes are prepared.
> Financial reports are reviewed by an individual who is not the preparer for completeness and
accuracy.
Our evaluation of the City's internal controls relating to financial reporting has identified control
deficiencies that are considered to be a material weakness surrounding the preparation of complete and
accurate financial statements and footnotes, adjusting journal entries to correct misstatements, and an
independent review by someone other than the preparer.
As a result of these deficiencies, management is unable to prepare financial statements that are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management should consider what resources and changes are necessary to address and resolve the
control deficiencies identified.
INTERNAL CONTROL ENVIRONMENT
Auditing standards require that we perform procedures to obtain an understanding of your government
and its internal control environment as part of the annual audit. This includes an analysis of significant
transaction cycles.
A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing as well as policies and
procedures to properly segregate duties. This includes systems that are designed to limit the access or
control of anyone individual to your government's assets or accounting records, and to achieve a higher
likelihood that errors or irregularities in your accounting processes would be discovered by your staff in a
timely manner.
At this time, due to staffing and financial limitations, the City does not have proper internal controls in
place to achieve adequate segregation of duties. As a result, errors or irregularities could occur as part of
the financial process that may not be discovered by the City. Therefore, we are reporting a significant
deficiency related to the City's internal control environment.
Our recommendations for strengthening controls are listed below.
CONTROLS OVER UTILITY BILLING
1 . Persons involved in the cash receipting process should be independent of other billing duties.
Page 2
INTERNAL CONTROL ENVIRONMENT (cont.)
CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING ON A MONTHL y BASIS
1. Adjusting journal entries and supporting documentation should be reviewed and approved by an
appropriate person who is not the original preparer. At a minimum, a system generated report of
manual journal entries should be reviewed by someone independent of posting journal entries.
2. Account reconciliations prepared throughout the year should be performed by someone
independent of processing of transactions in the account.
We recommend that a designated City employee review the segregation of duties and these potential
controls and determine whether additional controls should be implemented. This determination should
take into consideration a cost / benefit analysis to the City. It is very important that the governing body
provide the appropriate level of financial oversight to the City's day to day activities.

OTHER COMMUNICATIONS TO THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
TWO WAY COMMUNICATION REGARDING YOUR AUDIT
As part of our audit of your financial statements, we are providing communications to you throughout the
audit process. Auditing requirements provide for two-way communication and are important in assisting
the auditor and you with more information relevant to the audit.
As this past audit is concluded, we use what we have learned to begin the planning process for next
year's audit. It is important that you understand the following points about the scope and timing of our
next audit:
a. We address the significant risks or material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, through
our detailed audit procedures.
b. We will obtain an understanding of the five components of internal control sufficient to assess the
risk of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to error or fraud, and to
design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. We will obtain a sufficient
understanding by performing risk assessment procedures to evaluate the design of controls
relevant to an audit of financial statements and to determine whether they have been
implemented. We will use such knowledge to:
> Identify types of potential misstatements.
> Consider factors that affect the risks of material misstatement.
> Design tests of controls, when applicable, and substantive procedures.
We will not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or
compliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of contracts or grant programs. For audits done
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, our report will include a paragraph that
states that the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing and not to provide an opinion
on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance and that the
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering internal control over financial reporting and compliance. The paragraph
will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose.
c. The concept of materiality recognizes that some matters, either individually or in the aggregate,
are important for fair presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles while other matters are not important. In performing the audit, we are
concerned with matters that, either individually or in the aggregate, could be material to the
financial statements. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance that material misstatements, whether caused by errors or fraud, are detected.
d. Your financial statements contain components, as defined by auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which we also audit.
Page 4
TWO WAY COMMUNICATION REGARDING YOUR AUDIT (cont.)
We are very interested in your views regarding certain matters. Those matters are listed here:
a. We typically will communicate with your top level of management unless you tell us otherwise.
b. We understand that the City Council has the responsibility to oversee the strategic direction of
your organization, as well as the overall accountability of the entity. Management has the
responsibility for achieving the objectives of the entity.
c. We need to know your views about your organization's objectives and strategies, and the related
business risks that may result in material misstatements.
d. Which matters do you consider warrant particular attention during the audit, and are there any
areas where you request additional procedures to be undertaken?
e. Have you had any significant communications with regulators or grantor agencies?
f. Are there other matters that you believe are relevant to the audit of the financial statements?
Also, is there anything that we need to know about the attitudes, awareness, and actions of the City
concerning:
a. The City's internal control and its importance in the entity, including how those charged with
governance oversee the effectiveness of internal control?
b. The detection or the possibility of fraud?
We also need to know if you have taken actions in response to developments in financial reporting, laws,
accounting standards, governance practices, or other related matters, or in response to previous
communications with us.
With regard to the timing of our audit, here is some general information. We typically perform preliminary
financial audit work in early February. Our final financial fieldwork is scheduled during the first couple
weeks of March to best coincide with your readiness and report deadlines. After fieldwork, we wrap up
our financial audit procedures at our office and issue drafts of our report for review. Final copies of our
report and other communications are issued after approval by your staff. This is typically 8-12 weeks after
final fieldwork, but may vary depending on a number of factors.
Keep in mind that while this communication may assist us with planning the scope and timing of the audit,
it does not change the auditor's sole responsibility to determine the overall audit strategy and the audit
plan, including the nature, timing, and extent of procedures necessary to obtain sufficient appropriate
audit evidence.
We realize that you may have questions or wish to provide other feedback. We welcome the opportunity
to hear from you.

COMMUNICATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND INFORMATIONAL POINTS TO MANAGEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation #1
During our audit, it was noted that the amount of long term investments with maturity dates beyond five
years accounted for 37% of the total investments, which is a sizeable decrease from 43% at the end of
2013. The investment policy states that the targeted maximum for investments with this length to maturity
should not exceed 35%. We understand that the majority of the investments in this category include step
bonds which does provide for some protection with regards to interest rate risk. We recommend that the
maturities of investments continue to be monitored to determine if any modifications are deemed
necessary going forward to bring the total back in line with the targeted threshold.

The requirements of this Statement will eliminate the

accrual-basis financial statements of the city. This will
be addressed with the implementation of GASB No.

onrecnve of this project is to consider the
measurement concepts that should be used in
governmental financial statements. A measurement
approach determines whether an asset or liability
presented in a financial statement should be (1)
reported at an amount that reflects a value at the date
that the asset was acquired or the liability was
incurred or (2) remeasured and reported at an amount
that reflects a value at the date of the financial
statements.
The this project is to review and consider
alternatives for the further development of the
definition of fair value, the methods used to measure
fair value and the applicability of fair value guidance to
investments and other items currently reported at fair
value, and the disclosures about fair value.
The Board will consider the possibility of rYlf'"l,riltllf"-:l1tlf'"lrlC

financial reporting transparency and to improve the
usefulness of information to the various users of the
financial statements.

Rosemount, Minnesota
Thank you for using Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as your auditor.
We have completed our audit of the financial statements of the City of Rosemount for the year ended

communications required by our professional standards.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER AUDITING STANDARDS GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA
The objective of a financial statement audit is the expression of an opinion on the financial statements. We
conducted the audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
These standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute,
assurance about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are free of
material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. Our audit included examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our audit does not relieve management or those charged vvith governance of their responsibilities.
As part of the audit we obtained an understanding of the entity and its environment, including internal control,
sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature,
timing and extent of further audit procedures. The audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal
control or to identify deficiencies in internal control.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of the City of Rosemount's compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulation, contracts, and grants. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions is not an
objective of our audit.
OTHER INFORMA TION IN DOCUMENTS CONTAINING AUDITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS
Our responsibility does not extend beyond the audited financial statements identified in this report. We do
not have any obligation to and have not performed any procedures to corroborate other information
contained in client prepared documents, such as official statements related to debt issues.
PLANNED SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE AUDIT
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated to you in our
engagement letter and prior year communication to those charged with governance.

QUALITATIVE ASPECTS OF THE ENTITY'S SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Accounting Policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the
terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies
and their application. The significant accounting policies used by the City of Rosemount are described in Note I
to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies
was not changed during 2014. We noted no transactions entered into by the City of Rosemount during the year
that were both significant and unusual, and of which, under professional standards, we are required to inform
you, or transactions for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly
from those expected.
Financial Statement Disclosures
The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent, and clear.
DIFFICUL TIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing our audit.
AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit,
other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. There was one
audit adjustment considered material to the financial statements for $400,000 to record donation revenue in the
capital projects fund. In addition, we prepared the GASB No. 34 conversion entries which are summarized in
the "Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Net Position" and the
"Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental
Funds to the Statement of Activities" in the financial statements.
A summary of uncorrected financial statement misstatements is attached. Management has determined that
their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter,
whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that
could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such
disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Page 10
To the City Council
City of Rosemount
CONSUL TATIONS WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial
statements or a determination of the type of auditors' opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our
professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has
all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter. This letter follows this required communication.
INDEPENDENCE
We are not aware of any relationships between Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP and the City that, in our
professional judgment, may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence.
Relating to our audit of the financial statements of for the year ended December 31, 2014, Baker Tilly Virchow
Krause, LLP hereby confirms that we are, in our professional judgment, independent with respect to the City in
accordance with the Code of Professional Conduct issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and provided no services to the City other than audit services provided in connection with the
audit of the current year's financial statements and nonaudit services which in our judgment do not impair our
independence.
> Financial statement preparation
> Adjusting journal entries
> CIVIC Systems software
None of these nonaudit services constitute an audit under generally accepted auditing standards.
OTHER AUDIT FINDINGS OR ISSUES
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City's auditors. However, these discussions
occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our
retention.
Page 11
To the City Council
City of Rosemount
OTHER MATTERS
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the
basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information which accompanies the financial statements but
is not RSI. With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, we made
certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to
determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate
and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to
the financial statements themselves.
RESTRICTION ON USE
This information is intended solely for the use of the City Council and management and is not intended to be,
and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss the information included in this letter and any other matters. Thank you
for allowing us to serve you.

Dear Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP:
We are providing this letter in connection with your audit of the financial statements of the City of Rosemount
as of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Rosemount and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We confirm that we are responsible for
the fair presentation of the previously mentioned financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We are also responsible for adopting sound accounting
policies, establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, and preventing and detecting fraud.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are
considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that,
in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on
the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. An omission or misstatement that
is monetarily small in amount could be considered material as a result of qualitative factors.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your audit.
Financial Statements
1. We have fulfilled our responsibilities, as set out in the terms of the audit engagement letter.
2. The financial statements referred to above are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have engaged you to advise us in fulfilling that responsibility. The
financial statements include all properly classified funds of the primary government and all component units
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to be included in the
financial reporting entity.
3. We acknowledge our responsibility 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.
4. We acknowledge our responsibility for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control to prevent
and detect fraud.
5. Significant assumptions we used in making accounting estimates are reasonable.
