draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date
preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available
for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has
been paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of
authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which
case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on
February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2018, to the registered owners of
record as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month,
whether or not that day is a business day.

authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration and the rights and
duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:

which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of
transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered
owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the
registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount
and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for
registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment
date and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the
Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount
and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing.
RESOLUTION 2017 - _____
501248v1 JSB RS125-20 3
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by
the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer,
the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on
the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is
legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make
transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a
Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or
upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the
Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a
transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed,
stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and
tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable
expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond
was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an
appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by
law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to
the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for
redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints U.S. Bank National Association,
St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Clerk are authorized to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of
the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company
authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as
successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar
for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days’ notice
and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must
deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond
register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further
order of this Council, the City Clerk must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the
payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of
the City Clerk and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk,
provided that all signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If
RESOLUTION 2017 - _____
501248v1 JSB RS125-20 4
an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such
officer before the delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery.
Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled
to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the
Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the
Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same
representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it
has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been so
prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Finance Director will deliver the same to the
Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore
made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase
price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds one or
more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B with such
changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon
the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and
cancelled.
Section 3. Delivery of Bonds.
3.01. Form of Bond The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director is authorized and directed to obtain a
copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and cause the opinion to be printed
on or accompany each Bond.
Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
4.01 Debt Service Fund. (a) The Bonds are payable from the General Obligation
Improvement Bonds, Series 2017A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created,
and the proceeds of ad valorem taxes herein or hereafter levied (the “Taxes”) and special
assessments (the “Assessments”) for the Improvements are hereby pledged to the Debt Service
Fund. If a payment of principal or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there is not sufficient
money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Finance Director is directed to pay such
principal or interest from other funds of the City, and such fund will be reimbursed for those
advances out of the proceeds of Assessments and Taxes when collected. There is appropriated to
the Debt Service Fund (i) any amount over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to
the extent designated for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03, and (ii)
the accrued interest paid by the Purchaser upon closing and delivery of the Bonds.
(b) Construction Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in paragraph
(a), together any other funds appropriated for the Improvements and Assessments collected during
the construction of the Improvements will be deposited in a separate construction fund (the
“Construction Fund”) to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment
of principal and interest on the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the
Improvements. Any balance remaining in the Construction Fund after completion of the
RESOLUTION 2017 - _____

Improvements may be used to pay the cost in whole or in part of any other improvement instituted
under the Act. When the Improvements are completed and the cost thereof paid, the Construction
Fund is to be closed and subsequent collections of Assessments for the Improvements are to be
deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
4.02. City Covenants. The City hereby covenants with the holders from time to time of the
Bonds as follows:
(a) It is hereby determined that at least 20% of the costs of the Improvements to the City will
be paid by Assessments. The City has caused or will cause the Assessments for the Improvements
to be promptly levied so that the first installment will be collectible not later than 2018 and will take
all steps necessary to assure prompt collection, and the levy of the Assessments is hereby
authorized. The City Council will cause to be taken with due diligence all further actions that are
required for the construction of each Improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of
the Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final and valid levy of the Assessments
and the appropriation of any other funds needed to pay the Bonds and interest thereon when due.
(b) In the event of any current or anticipated deficiency in Assessments, the City Council will
levy ad valorem taxes in the amount of the current or anticipated deficiency.
(c) The City will keep complete and accurate books and records showing: receipts and
disbursements in connection with the Improvements, Assessments levied therefor and other funds
appropriated for their payment, collections thereof and disbursements therefrom, monies on hand
and, the balance of unpaid Assessments.
(d) The City will cause its books and records to be audited at least annually and will furnish
copies of such audit reports to any interested person upon request.
4.03. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable property in the City,
which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of the
City. The taxes will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years

(See EXHIBIT C)
It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of Assessments and the foregoing Taxes will
produce at least 5% in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest
payments on the Bonds.
4.04. Certification to County Auditor as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is hereby determined
that the estimated collections of Assessments and the foregoing Taxes will produce at least 5% in
excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds.

during the ensuing year, and the County Auditor will thereupon reduce the levy collectible during
such year by the amount so certified.

Section 6. Tax Covenant.
6.01. Tax Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of
the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any
action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, in effect at the time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees
or agents to take, all affirmative action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such
interest will not become subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as
presently existing or as hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds.
6.02. No Rebate Required. (a) The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code
to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under
Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to temporary periods for
investments and limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds.
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small-issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate
requirements, the City finds, determines and declares that the aggregate face amount of all tax-
exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of
the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued is not reasonably expected to exceed
$5,000,000, within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code.
6.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the
Bonds or the Improvements financed by the Bonds or to cause or permit them or any of them to be
used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of
Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.

printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.02 hereof. Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York,
New York, and its successors and assigns (“DTC”). Except as provided in this section, all of the
outstanding Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
7.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent will
have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from
time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (the “Participants”) or to any
other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, including but not
limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC,
Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery
to any Participant or any other person (other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the
registration books kept by the Registrar), of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any
notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in
whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder and
absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with
respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all
other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the registration
books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and
discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest

501248v1 JSB RS125-20 8
of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond
evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City Clerk of a written
notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co.,
the words “Cede & Co.,” will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such a
notice, the City Clerk will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will govern payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any
Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to
take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation letter with respect
to the Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the
Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will
notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City
will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other registered
owners in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue
providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and
discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no
successor securities depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate
Bond certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the
transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the
contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices with respect to
the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC’s Operational
Arrangements as set forth in the Representation Letter.
Section 8. Continuing Disclosure.
8.01. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the City
to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default
with respect to the Bonds; however, any bondholder may take such actions as may be necessary and
appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to
comply with its obligations under this section.
8.02. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure Certificate” means
that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Clerk and dated the
date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be amended from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 9. Defeasance.
9.01. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon, have been discharged as provided in
this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the
RESOLUTION 2017 - _____
501248v1 JSB RS125-20 9
Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and
full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The
City may discharge all Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar or in
escrow on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If any Bond should
not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit.

taxable property in the City, which taxes may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount. The
Bonds of this series are issued only as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof of single maturities.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Bond is
transferable upon the books of the City at the principal office of the Registrar, by the registered
owner hereof in person or by the owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender
hereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by
the registered owner or the owner’s attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for Bonds of
other authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or exchange the City will cause a new Bond or
Bonds to be issued in the name of the transferee or registered owner, of the same aggregate
principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date, subject to
reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
The City Council has designated the issue of Bonds of which this Bond forms a part as “qualified
tax exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as
the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Registrar will be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts,
conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done,
to exist, to happen and to be performed preliminary to and in the issuance of this Bond in order to
make it a valid and binding general obligation of the City in accordance with its terms, have been
done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so required, and that the issuance of this
Bond does not cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed any constitutional, or statutory
limitation of indebtedness.
This Bond is not valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under the
Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Registrar by
manual signature of one of its authorized representatives.

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JUNE 30, 2017
NEW ISSUE Moody’s Rating: Requested
BANK QUALIFIED
In the opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Bond Counsel for the Bonds, based on present federal and Minnesota laws, regul ations, rulings and decisions
(which excludes any pending legislation which may have a retroactive effect), and assuming compliance with certain covenants, interest to be paid on the Bonds
is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and, to the same extent, from taxable net income of individuals, estates and trusts for Minnesota
income purposes, and is not a preference item for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax imposed
on individuals, trusts, and estates. Such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the federal alternative
minimum tax imposed on certain corporations and is subject to Minnesota franchise taxes on corporations (including financial institutions) measured by income.
No opinion will be expressed by Kennedy & Graven regarding other state or federal tax consequences caused by the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds
or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds. The Bonds will be designated as "qualified tax -exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest
expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt Bonds. See "TAX EXEMPTION" and "OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS"

All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at a price of par plus accrued interest to the

repayment of a portion of the Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used for street and utility improvements.

DETAILS OF THE BONDS
The Bonds will be dated as of the date of delivery and will bear interest payable on February 1 and August 1
of each year, commencing August 1, 2018. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of
twelve 30-day months.
The Bonds will mature February 1 in the years and amounts* as follows:
2019 $210,000 2020 $220,000 2021 $225,000 2022 $230,000 2023 $235,000
* The City reserves the right, after proposals are opened and prior to award, to increase or reduce the principal
amount of the Bonds or the amount of any maturity in multiples of $5,000. In the event the amount of any maturity
or maturities is modified, the aggregate purchase price will be adjusted to result in the same gross spread per
$1,000 of Bonds as that of the original proposal. Gross spread for this purpose is the differe ntial between the
price paid to the City for the new issue and the prices at which the proposal indicates the securities will be initially
offered to the investing public.
BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of Bonds made to
the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond, representing the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, which will act as securities
depository for the Bonds. Individual purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000
or any multiple thereof of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC
and its participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered
owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by participants will
be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners. The lowest bidder (the
“Purchaser”), as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The City will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Bonds will not be subject to redemption in advance of their respective stated maturity dates.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and credit and
power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City will pledge special assessments against
benefited properties for repayment of a portion of the Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used for
street and utility improvements.
BIDDING PARAMETERS
Proposals shall be for not less than $1,108,800 plus accrued interest, if any, on the total principal amount
of the Bonds. No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals on the
Sale Date unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or
continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples
of 1/100 or 1/8 of 1%. The initial price to the public as stated on the proposal for each maturity must be
98.0% or greater. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date
of maturity. No conditional proposals will be accepted.
- iii -
ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE PRIOR TO CLOSING
In order to provide the City with information necessary for compliance with Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively,
the “Code”), the Purchaser will be required to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Bonds
and shall complete, execute, and deliver to the City prior to the closing date, a written certification in a form
acceptable to the Purchaser, the City, and Bond Counsel (the “Issue Price Certificate”) containing the
following for each maturity of the Bonds (and, if different interest rates apply within a maturity, to each
separate CUSIP number within that maturity): (i) the interest rate; (ii) the reasonably expected initial
offering price to the “public” (as said term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-1(f) (the
“Regulation”)) or the sale price; and (iii) pricing wires or equivalent communications supporting such
offering or sale price. However, such Issue Price Certificate may indicate that the Purchaser has purchased
the Bonds for its own account in a capacity other than as an underwriter or wholesaler, and currently has
no intent to reoffer the Bonds for sale to the public. Any action to be taken or documentation to be received
by the City pursuant hereto may be taken or received on behalf of the City by Springsted.
The City intends that the sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Terms of Proposal shall constitute a “competitive
sale” as defined in the Regulation based on the following:
(i) the City shall cause this Terms of Proposal to be disseminated to potential bidders in a
manner that is reasonably designed to reach potential bidders;
(ii) all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to submit a bid;
(iii) the City reasonably expects that it will receive bids from at least three bidders that have
established industry reputations for underwriting municipal bonds such as the Bonds; and
(iv) the City anticipates awarding the sale of the Bonds to the bidder who provides a proposal
with the lowest true interest cost, as set forth in this Terms of Proposal (See “AWARD”
herein).
Any bid submitted pursuant to this Terms of Proposal shall be considered a firm offer for the purchase of
the Bonds, as specified in the proposal. The Purchaser shall constitute an “underwriter” as said term is
defined in the Regulation. By submitting its proposal, the Purchaser confirms that is shall require any
agreement among underwriters, a selling group agreement, or other agreement to which it is a party relating
to the initial sale of the Bonds, to include provisions requiring compliance with the provisions of the Code
and the Regulation regarding the initial sale of the Bonds.
If all of the requirements of a “competitive sale” are not satisfied, the City shall advise the Purchaser of
such fact prior to the time of award of the sale of the Bonds to the Purchaser. In such event, any proposal
submitted will not be subject to cancellation or withdrawal. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the notice
of award of the sale of the Bonds, the Purchaser shall advise the City and Springsted if a “substantial
amount” (as defined in the Regulation) of any maturity of the Bonds (and, if different interest rates apply
within a maturity, to each separate CUSIP number within that maturity) has been sold to the public and the
price at which such substantial amount was sold. The City will treat such sale price as the “issue price” for
such maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. The City will not require the Purchaser to comply
with that portion of the Regulation commonly described as the “hold-the-offering-price” requirement for
the remaining maturities, but the Purchaser may elect such option. If the Purchaser exercises such option,
the City will apply the initial offering price to the public provided in the proposal as the issue price for such
maturities. If the Purchaser does not exercise that option, it shall thereafter promptly provide the City and
Springsted the prices at which a substantial amount of such maturities are sold to the public; provided such
determination shall be made and the City and Springsted notified of such prices not later than three (3)
business days prior to the closing date.
- iv -
GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT
To have its proposal considered for award, the Purchaser is required to submit a good faith deposit to the
City in the amount of $11,200 (the “Deposit”) no later than 1:00 P.M., Central Time on the Sale Date. The
Deposit may be delivered as described herein in the form of either (i) a certified or cashier’s check payable
to the City; or (ii) a wire transfer. The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the timely delivery of its
Deposit whether by check or wire transfer. Neither the City nor Springsted have any liability for delays in
the receipt of the Deposit. If the Deposit is not received by the specified time, the City may, at its sole
discretion, reject the proposal of the lowest bidder, direct the second lowest bidder to submit a Deposit, and
thereafter award the sale to such bidder.
Certified or Cashier’s Check. A Deposit made by certified or cashier’s check will be considered timely
delivered to the City if it is made payable to the City and delivered to Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson
Street, Suite 300, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 by the time specified above.
Wire Transfer. A Deposit made by wire will be considered timely delivered to the City upon submission
of a federal wire reference number by the specified time. Wire transfer instructions will be available from
Springsted following the receipt and tabulation of proposals. The successful bidder must send an e-mail
including the following information: (i) the federal reference number and time released; (ii) the amount of
the wire transfer; and (iii) the issue to which it applies.
Once an award has been made, the Deposit received from the Purchaser will be retained by the City and no
interest will accrue to the Purchaser. The amount of the Deposit will be deducted at settlement from the
purchase price. In the event the Purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be
retained by the City.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true interest cost
(TIC) basis calculated on the proposal prior to any adjustment made by the City. The City's computation
of the interest rate of each proposal, in accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-substantive informalities of any proposal or of matters
relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals without cause, and
(iii) reject any proposal that the City determines to have failed to comply with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
The City has not applied for or pre-approved a commitment for any policy of municipal bond insurance
with respect to the Bonds. If the Bonds qualify for municipal bond insurance and a bidder desires to
purchase a policy, such indication, the maturities to be insured, and the name of the desired insurer must be
set forth on the bidder’s proposal. The City specifically reserves the right to reject any bid specifying
municipal bond insurance, even though such bid may result in the lowest TIC to the City. All costs
associated with the issuance and administration of such policy and associated ratings and expenses (other
than any independent rating requested by the City) shall be paid by the successful bidder. Failure of the
municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after the award of the Bonds shall not constitute cause for failure
or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but
neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto will constitute
cause for failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of the Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau
charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the Purchaser.
- v -
SETTLEMENT
On or about August 17, 2017, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the Purchaser through DTC in
New York, New York. Delivery will be subject to receipt by the Purchaser of an approving legal opinion
of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including
a no-litigation certificate. On the date of settlement, payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or
equivalent, funds that shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon,
Central Time. Unless compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds has been made impossible by
action of the City, or its agents, the Purchaser shall be liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by
reason of the Purchaser's non-compliance with said terms for payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), the City will undertake, pursuant to the resolution awarding
sale of the Bonds, to provide annual reports and notices of certain events. A description of this undertaking
is set forth in the Official Statement. The Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Bonds will be conditioned
upon receiving evidence of this undertaking at or prior to delivery of the Bonds.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of a Preliminary Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Preliminary Official Statement will serve as a near -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For copies of
the Preliminary Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any prospective purchaser
is referred to the Municipal Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson Street, Suite 300,
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (651) 223-3000.
A Final Official Statement (as that term is defined in Rule 15c2-12) will be prepared, specifying the maturity
dates, principal amounts, and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other information required by
law. By awarding the Bonds to the Purchaser, the City agrees that, no more than seven business days after
the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the Purchaser up to 25 copies of the Final Official

THE BONDS
General Description
The Bonds are dated as of the date of delivery and will mature annually on February 1 as set forth on the
front cover of this Official Statement. The Bonds are issued in book entry form. Interest on the Bonds is
payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2018. Interest will be payable to
the holder (initially Cede & Co.) registered on the books of the Registrar as of the fifteenth day of the
calendar month next preceding such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360 day year of twelve 30-day months. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid as described in
the section herein entitled “Book Entry System.” U.S. Bank National Association, Saint Paul, Minnesota
will serve as Registrar for the Bonds, and the City will pay for registrar services.
Redemption Provisions
Optional Redemption
The Bonds will not be subject to redemption in advance of their respective stated maturity dates.
Book Entry System
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the
Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s
partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One
fully-registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal
amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banki ng
organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System,
a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing
agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC
holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate
and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants
(“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct
Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic
computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the
need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S.
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other
organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation
(“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation, and Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users
of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and
non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect
Participants”). The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will
receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each
Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners
are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
- 3 -
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership int erests in the Bonds are to be accomplished
by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners.
Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except
in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the
name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co.
or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of
the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants
to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct
and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to
Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Bene ficial Owners will be
governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the
transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders,
defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Bonds
may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit
notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and
addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed,
DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity
to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds
unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI procedures. Under its usual
procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The
Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose
accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co. or
such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to
credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from
the City or its agent on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s
records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or
registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or the City,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of
redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or its agent,
disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement
of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
reasonable notice to City or its agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository
is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from
sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
- 4 -
AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475. The proceeds of the
Bonds, along with available City funds, will be used for street and utility improvements.
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS
The composition of the Bonds is estimated to be as follows:
Sources of Funds:
Principal Amount $1,120,000
Available City Funds 305,789
Total Sources of Funds $1,425,789
Uses of Funds:
Deposit to Project Fund $1,379,346
Costs of Issuance 35,243
Allowance for Discount Bidding 11,200
Total Uses of Funds $1,425,789
SECURITY AND FINANCING
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and credit and
power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City will pledge special assessments against
benefited properties for repayment of a portion of the Bonds. Special assessments in the principal amount
of approximately $1,073,557 are expected to be filed on November 1, 2017 for first collection in 2018.
Assessments will be filed over a term of five years with level annual payments of principal and interest.
Interest on the unpaid balance will be charged at an interest rate estimated to be 3.955%.
The City will also levy taxes for repayment of a portion of the Bonds, and will make its first levy in 2017
for collection in 2018. Thereafter, each year’s collection of taxes and special assessments, if collected in
full, will be sufficient to pay 105% of the interest payment due August 1 of the collection year and the
principal and interest payment due February 1 of the following year.
FUTURE FINANCING
The City does not anticipate issuing any additional long-term general obligation debt within the next
90 days.
- 5 -
LITIGATION
The City is not aware of any threatened or pending litigation affecting the validity of the Bonds or the City's
ability to meet its financial obligations.
LEGALITY
The Bonds are subject to approval as to certain matters by Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, as Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel has not participated in the preparation of this Official
Statement and will not pass upon its accuracy, completeness, or sufficiency. Bond Counsel has not
examined nor attempted to examine or verify any of the financial or statistical statements or data contained
in this Official Statement and will express no opinion with respect thereto. A legal opinion in substantially
the form set out in Appendix I herein will be delivered at closing.
TAX EXEMPTION
At closing Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bond Counsel for the Bonds, will
render an opinion that, at the time of their issuance and delivery to the original purchaser, under present
federal and State of Minnesota laws, regulations, rulings and decisions (which excludes any pending
legislation which may have a retroactive effect), the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income
for purposes of United States income tax and is excluded, to the same extent, from taxable net income of
individuals, estates and trusts for Minnesota income purposes, and is not a preference item for purposes of
computing the federal alternative minimum tax or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals, trusts, and estates. Such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings
for the purpose of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations and is
subject to Minnesota franchise taxes on corporations (including financial institutions) measured by income.
No opinion will be expressed by Kennedy & Graven regarding other federal or state tax consequences
caused by the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds.
Preservation of the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from federal gross income and state gross and taxable
net income, however, depends upon compliance by the City with all requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in
order that interest thereon be (or continue to be) excluded from federal gross income and state gross and
taxable net income.
The City will covenant to comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain
the Bonds as tax-exempt under Section 103 thereof, including without limitation, requirements relating to
temporary periods for investments and limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on
the Bonds.
OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Property and Casualty Insurance Companies
Property and casualty insurance companies are required to reduce the amount of their loss reserve deduction
by 15% of the amount of tax-exempt interest received or accrued during the taxable year on certain Bonds,
including interest on the Bonds.
- 6 -
Foreign Insurance Companies
Foreign companies carrying on an insurance business in the United States are subject to a tax on income
which is effectively connected with their conduct of any trade or business in the United States, including
“net investment income.” Net investment income includes tax-exempt interest such as interest on the
Bonds.
Branch Profits Tax
A foreign corporation is subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of the “dividend equivalent amount”
for the taxable year. The “dividend equivalent amount” is the foreign corporation's “effectively connected
earnings and profits” adjusted for increase or decrease in “U.S. net equity.” A branch's earnings and profits
may include tax-exempt municipal bond interest, such as interest on the Bonds.
Passive Investment Income of S Corporations
Passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds, may be subject to federal income taxation
under Section 1375 of the Code for an S corporation that has Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close
of the taxable year if more than 25% of the gross receipts of such S corporation is passive investment
income.
Financial Institutions
Financial institutions are generally not entitled to a deduction for interest expenses allocable to the owners
of tax-exempt Bonds purchased after August 7, 1986. The City will designate the Bonds as qualified tax-
exempt obligations pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
General
The preceding is not a comprehensive list of all federal or State tax consequences which may arise from the
receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds. The receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds may otherwise
affect the federal income tax (or Minnesota income tax or franchise tax) liability of the recipient based on
the particular taxes to which the recipient is subject and the particular tax status of other items of income
or deductions. All prospective purchasers of the Bonds are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to
the tax consequences of, or tax considerations for, purchasing or holding the Bonds.
BANK-QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
The Bonds will be designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct
from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring
tax-exempt obligations.
- 7 -
RATING
Application for a rating of the Bonds has been made to Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), 7 World
Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 23rd Floor, New York, New York. If a rating is assigned, it will reflect
only the opinion of Moody’s. Any explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained only from
Moody’s.
There is no assurance that a rating, if assigned, will continue for any given period of time, or that such
rating will not be revised, suspended or withdrawn, if, in the judgment of Moody’s, circumstances so
warrant. A revision, suspension or withdrawal of a rating may have an adverse effect on the market price
of the Bonds.
MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
The City has retained Springsted Incorporated, Public Sector Advisors, of Saint Paul, Minnesota
(“Springsted”), as municipal advisor in connection with certain aspects of the issuance of the Bonds. In
preparing this Official Statement, Springsted has relied upon governmental officials, and other sources,
who have access to relevant data to provide accurate information for this Official Statement, and Springsted
has not been engaged, nor has it undertaken, to independently verify the accuracy of such information.
Springsted is not a public accounting firm and has not been engaged by the City to compile, review, examine
or audit any information in this Official Statement in accordance with accounting standards. Springsted is
an independent advisory firm, registered as a municipal advisor, and is not engaged in the business of
underwriting, trading or distributing municipal securities or other public securities.
Springsted is under common ownership with Springsted Investment Advisors, Inc. (“SIA”), an investment
adviser registered in the states where services are provided. SIA may provide investment advisory services
to the City from time to time in connection with the investment of proceeds from the Bonds as well as
advice with respect to portfolio management and investment policies for the City. SIA pays Springsted, as
municipal advisor, a referral fee from the fees paid to SIA by the City.
CERTIFICATION
The City has authorized the distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement for use in connection with
the initial sale of the Bonds and a Final Official Statement following award of the Bonds. The Purchaser
will be furnished with a certificate signed by the appropriate officers of the City stating that the City
examined each document and that, as of the respective date of each and the date of such certificate, each
document did not and does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary, in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.

INVESTMENTS
The City has a formal investment policy. City funds are invested in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 118A and the City's investment policy which is more restrictive than State statutes. The City
investment portfolio is managed in a manner to attain a market rate of return while preserving and protecting
the capital of the overall portfolio. The Finance Director or the City Administrator is responsible for investing
all funds, including making investment decisions on a daily basis and monitoring the portfolio.
Pursuant to the City's investment policy the City is authorized to invest in the following:
1. Governmental Securities: Instruments such as bonds, notes, bills, mortgages and other securities
which are direct obligations of the federal government or its agencies, with the principal fully
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The City will not invest in any mortgage or
mortgage-related security unless a return of principal is completely guaranteed by a federal entity.
2. Certificate of Deposit.
3. Repurchase Agreement.
4. Reverse Repurchase Agreement.
- 14 -
5. Prime Commercial Paper.
6. Any security which is a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities.
7. Bankers acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
Collateralization is required on two types of investments, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements.
In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level
is 110% of the market value of principal and accrued interest.
The City attempts to diversify its investments according to type and maturity. The portfolio, as much as
possible, contains both short-term and long-term investments. The long-term portion of the portfolio,
meaning longer than five years, should not exceed 35% of the total funds in the portfolio. This is done to
reduce overall market risk of rates changing.
As of May 31, 2017, the City had a total of $40,303,238 invested funds as follows:

Recent and Proposed Development
City building levels continue to bring more value into the community with higher construction of residential
development along with non-residential uses. A couple of larger high density residential projects present
an uneven growth pattern but in general, single family development continues to dominate. In 2016,
commercial and industrial growth increased as compared to previous years, representing 30% of the total
year’s construction value.
New dwelling unit construction in 2015 and 2016 averaged 150 units, fueled by small lot single family
development in the Akron Avenue area. National and regional builders continue to be the primary source
of construction although the City is experiencing some local builders purchasing individual lots from land
developers. The biggest increase in units in 2015 was due to a 60-unit senior housing project. The project,
owned and operated by the Dakota County Community Development Agency, provides affordable housing
for residents over 55. Recent planning approvals indicate there will be additional high density rental units
introduced into the market over the next several years. There will also be more attached single family units
constructed as new builders pick up the remaining platted lots associated with previously approved mixed
- 18 -
residential projects. These few projects will void the community of platted medium density lots, and it is
anticipated that new projects will begin to introduce even smaller lot single family and detached
townhouses. The existing land supply allows for these more dense projects and there continues to be land
available that has access to services for more traditional single family development.
The City is currently working to update the Comprehensive Plan which will open up additional lands ease
of Highway 52 to provide an ample supply of land for development in the future. The City continues to
work with the University of Minnesota on their 3,000-acre landholdings. An agreement is in place to permit
OPUS to market and develop a Business Park on 160 acres. Later in 2017, the University will put out an
RFP to attract a builder/developer of 440 acres for mixed residential development.
In 2015, approximately $68,256,000 of new valuation, and in 2016 $82,205,000 of new valuation, was
added in the community. Much of that value continues to come from residential development, through new
construction and remodeling projects on existing units. Flint Hills, one of the largest employers in the
community, is in the process of significant reinvestment to increase efficiencies an d plant capacity. They
are also expanding their footprint with a new ATS facility and will soon be constructing a Co-Generation
Plant. In the first five months of 2017, the development pace is roughly similar to 2016. Housing is online
to hit 150 new units in 2017. Additionally, there are several larger nonresidential projects that continue to
illustrate reinvestment in existing businesses through building additions or new construction to benefit
existing operations.
The following lists platted lots currently available for development. The majority of these lots are approved
as attached housing parcels.

GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION AND SERVICES
Organization
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.
The following individuals comprise the current City Council:
Expiration of Term
William Droste Mayor December 31, 2018
Mark DeBettignies Councilmember December 31, 2018
Heidi Freske Councilmember December 31, 2020
Shaun Nelson Councilmember December 31, 2018
Jeff Weisensel Councilmember December 31, 2020
The City's chief administrative officer is the City Administrator, who is appointed by and serves at the
discretion of the City Council. Mr. Logan Martin was appointed to the position of City Administrator in
January 2017. Previously, Mr. Martin served as the City Administrator of the City of Bayport, Minnesota
since 2013. Mr. Jeffrey A. May, who has served in the City's Finance Department since 1985, was
appointed as the City's Finance Director in March 1991. Mr. May also serves as the City Treasurer.
Ms. Clarissa Handler serves as the City Clerk.
Growth and development of the City is guided by the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, most recently adopted
in 2009, covering development expectations until the year 2030. The Comprehensive Plan outlines the
long-range land use plan and development policies of the community, and is designed to encourage and
promote orderly development and growth, perpetuating a sound and steady growth in the City tax base.
The City has 82 regular full-time and 186 seasonal full- and part-time employees.
- 21 -
Services
Police protection for the City is provided by 24 sworn full-time officers, and five other police personnel.
Fire protection is provided by 52 trained volunteers. The City has class 4, 5, and 10 insurance ratings,
depending on the availability of hydrants and location in relation to a fire station.
Municipal water, sanitary sewer and storm water services are provided to virtually all of the developed areas
of the City. The municipal water service is provided by eight wells with four water towers having a total
storage capacity of 3,500,000 gallons. The maximum pumping capacity is 12,384,000 gallons per day with
an average demand of 2,520,915 gallons pumped daily in 2016.
It is the City's policy to finance all of its lateral sanitary sewer and water improvements by special
assessments filed against benefited property; however, there is a provision for deferred assessments, in
which case it may be necessary to provide some tax support. Core facilities are intended to be financed
from water and sewer connection charges, but these too may require some tax support in the event sufficient
connections do not occur in a timely manner. To date, tax support has not been necessary.
The City finances the construction and long-term maintenance of its storm water core facilities through the
operation of a storm water utility. Each property in the City pays a quarterly “stormwater user fee” and an
initial connection charge to support the program.
Interceptor sewer lines and wastewater treatment plants in the seven -county metropolitan area, of which
the City is a part, are under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (“MCES”).
MCES finances its operations through user charges based on usage. The City is responsible for the
construction and maintenance of sewer laterals.

Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date-an amendment to GASB 68, which revised
existing standards for measuring and reporting pension liabilities for pension plans provided to City
employees and require recognition of a liability equal to the City’s proportionate share of net pension
liability, which is measured as the total pension liability less the amount of the pension plan's fiduciary net
position.
- 23 -
The City’s proportionate shares of the pension costs and the City’s net pension liability for GERF and
PEPFF for the past two years are as follows:
GERF PEPFF
Proportionate Net Proportionate Net
Share of Pension Share of Pension
Pension Costs Liability Pension Costs Liability
2016 0.0653% $5,302,014 0.2060% $8,267,138
2015 0.0645 3,342,725 0.2130 2,420,178

Other Post-Employment Benefits
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 45, Accounting and
Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB 45), which
addresses how state and local governments must account for and report their obligations related to post
employment healthcare and other non-pension benefits (referred to as Other Post-Employment Benefits or
“OPEB”).
The City does not fund health insurance for retired City employees. All former employees who were
eligible to participate in the City’s health insurance program while employed with the City are allowed to
continue their coverage after employment has ended through COBRA. However, this coverage is to be
paid in full at the former employee’s expense. The only cost to the City comes from the implicit rate
subsidy. Under GASB 45 such costs must be accounted for on an annual basis, however; management has
determined that any liability related to postemployment benefits is immaterial and is not reported in the
City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

PROPOSED FORM OF LEGAL OPINION
$1,120,000*
General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2017A
City of Rosemount
Dakota County, Minnesota
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of Rosemount, Dakota County, Minnesota (the “Issuer”)
in connection with the issuance by the Issuer of its General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2017A
(the “Bonds”), originally dated the date hereof and issued in the original aggregate principal amount of
$1,120,000*. In such capacity and for the purpose of rendering this opinion we have examined certified
copies of certain proceedings, certifications and other documents, and applicable laws as we have deemed
necessary. Regarding questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied on certified proceedings
and other certifications of public officials and other documents furnished to us without undertaking to verify
the same by independent investigation. Under existing laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on
the date hereof, and based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that:
1. The Bonds have been duly authorized and executed, and are valid and binding general
obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms.
2. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from special assessments levied or
to be levied on property specially benefited by local improvements and ad valorem taxes for the Issuer’s
share of the cost of the improvements, but if necessary for the payment thereof additional ad valorem taxes
are required by law to be levied on all taxable property of the Issuer, which taxes are not subject to any
limitation as to rate or amount.
3. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the recipient for federal income
tax purposes and, to the same extent, is excludable from taxable net income of individuals, trusts, and estates
for Minnesota income tax purposes, and is not a preference item for purposes of the computation of the
federal alternative minimum tax, or the computation of the Minnesota alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals, trusts and estates. However, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current
earnings for the purpose of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations
and is subject to Minnesota franchise taxes on corporations (including financial institutions) measured by
income and the alternative mnimum tax base. The opinion set forth in this paragraph is subject to the
condition that the Issuer comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue
to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and from taxable net income for
Minnesota income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Failure
to comply with certain of such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income
for federal income tax purposes and taxable net income for Minnesota income tax purposes retroactively to
the date of issuance of the Bonds. We express no opinion regarding tax consequences arising with respect
to the Bonds other than as expressly set forth herein.
I-2
4. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights
generally and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity.
We have not been asked and have not undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or
sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds, and accordingly we
express no opinion with respect thereto.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update, revise, or
supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or
any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

SUMMARY OF TAX LEVIES, PAYMENT PROVISIONS, AND
MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION
Following is a summary of certain statutory provisions relative to tax levy procedures, tax payment and
credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation. The summary does not purport to be
inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions discussed, and is qualified by reference to the
complete text of applicable statutes, rules and regulations of the State of Minnesota.
Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
Assessor's Estimated Market Value. Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by statute, be
appraised at least once every five years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal. With certain exceptions,
all property is valued at its market value, which is the value the assessor determines to be the price the
property to be fairly worth, and which is referred to as the “Estimated Market Value.” The 2013 Minnesota
Legislature established the Estimated Market Value as the value used to calculate a municipality’s legal
debt limit.
Economic Market Value. The Economic Market Value is the value of locally assessed real property
(Assessor’s Estimated Market Value) divided by the sales ratio as provided by the State of Minnesota
Department of Revenue plus the estimated market value of personal property, utilities, railroad, and
minerals.
Taxable Market Value. The Taxable Market Value is the value that Net Tax Capacity is based on, after all
reductions, limitations, exemptions and deferrals.
Net Tax Capacity. The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied, extended and
collected. The Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate percentages spec ific to each type
of property classification against the Taxable Market Value. Class rate percentages vary depending on the
type of property as shown on the last page of this Appendix. The formulas and class rates for converting
Taxable Market Value to Net Tax Capacity represent a basic element of the State's property tax relief system
and are subject to annual revisions by the State Legislature. Property taxes are the sum of the amounts
determined by (i) multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, and (ii) multiplying the
referendum market value by the market value rate.
Market Value Homestead Exclusion. In 2011, the Market Value Homestead Exclusion Program (MVHE)
was implemented to offset the elimination of the Market Value Homestead Credit Program that provided
relief to certain homesteads. The MVHE reduces the taxable market value of a homestead with an
Assessor’s Estimated Market Value up to $413,800 in an attempt to result in a property tax similar to the
effective property tax prior to the elimination of the homestead credit. The MVHE applies to property
classified as Class 1a or 1b and Class 2a, and causes a decrease in the City’s aggregate Taxable Market
Value, even if the Assessor’s Estimated Market Value on the same properties did not decline.
Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies
(Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279-282 and 549, Minnesota Statutes)
Ad valorem property taxes levied by local governments in Minnesota are extended and collected by the
various counties within the State. Each taxing jurisdiction is required to certify the annual tax levy to the
county auditor within five (5) working days after December 20 of the year preceding the collection year.
A listing of property taxes due is prepared by the county auditor and turned over to the county treasurer on
or before the first business day in March.
III-2
The county treasurer is responsible for collecting all property taxes within the county. Real estate and
personal property tax statements are mailed out by March 31. One-half (1/2) of the taxes on real property
is due on or before May 15. The remainder is due on or before October 15. Real property taxes not paid
by their due date are assessed a penalty on homestead property of 2% until May 31 and increased to 4% on
June 1. The penalty on nonhomestead property is assessed at a rate of 4% until May 31 and increased to
8% on June 1. Thereafter, an additional 1% penalty shall accrue each month through October 1 of the
collection year for unpaid real property taxes. In the case of the second installment of real property taxes
due October 15, a penalty of 2% on homestead property and 4% on nonhomestead property is assessed.
The penalty for homestead property increases to 6% on November 1 and again to 8% on December 1. The
penalty for nonhomestead property increases to 8% on November 1 and again to 12% on December 1.
Personal property taxes remaining unpaid on May 16 are deemed to be delinquent and a penalty of 8%
attaches to the unpaid tax. However, personal property that is owned by a tax-exempt entity, but is treated
as taxable by virtue of a lease agreement, is subject to the same delinquent property tax penalties as real
property.
On the first business day of January of the year following collection all delinquencies are subject to an
additional 2% penalty, and those delinquencies outstanding as of February 15 are filed for a tax lien
judgment with the district court. By March 20 the county auditor files a publication of legal action and a
mailing of notice of action to delinquent parties. Those property interests not responding to this notice have
judgment entered for the amount of the delinquency and associated penalties. The amount of the judgment
is subject to a variable interest determined annually by the Department of Revenue, and equal to the adjusted
prime rate charged by banks but in no event is the rate less than 10% or more than 14%.
Property owners subject to a tax lien judgment generally have three years (3) to redeem the property. After
expiration of the redemption period, unredeemed properties are declared tax forfeit with title held in trust
by the State of Minnesota for the respective taxing districts. The county auditor, or equivalent thereof, then
sells those properties not claimed for a public purpose at auction. The net proceeds of the sale are first
dedicated to the satisfaction of outstanding special assessments on the parcel, with any remaining balance
in most cases being divided on the following basis: county - 40%; town or city - 20%; and school district
- 40%.
Property Tax Credits (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
In addition to adjusting the taxable value for various property types, primary elements of Minnesota's
property tax relief system are: property tax levy reduction aids; the homestead credit refund and the renter’s
property tax refund, which relate property taxes to income and provide relief on a sliding income scale; and
targeted tax relief, which is aimed primarily at easing the effect of significant tax increases. The homestead
credit refund, the renter’s property tax refund, and targeted credits are reimbursed to the taxpayer upon
application by the taxpayer. Property tax levy reduction aid includes educational aids, local governmental
aid, equalization aid, county program aid and disparity reduction aid.
Debt Limitations
All Minnesota municipalities (counties, cities, towns and school districts) are subject to statutory “net debt”
limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Net debt is defined as the amount
remaining after deducting from gross debt the amount of current revenues that are applicable within the
current fiscal year to the payment of any debt and the aggregate of the principal of the following:
1. Obligations issued for improvements that are payable wholly or partially from the proceeds of
special assessments levied upon benefited property.
2. Warrants or orders having no definite or fixed maturity.
3. Obligations payable wholly from the income from revenue producing conveniences.
III-3
4. Obligations issued to create or maintain a permanent improvement revolving fund.
5. Obligations issued for the acquisition and betterment of public waterworks systems, and public
lighting, heating or power systems, and any combination thereof, or for any other public
convenience from which revenue is or may be derived.
6. Certain debt service loans and capital loans made to school districts.
7. Certain obligations to repay loans.
8. Obligations specifically excluded under the provisions of law authorizing their issuance.
9. Certain obligations to pay pension fund liabilities.
10. Debt service funds for the payment of principal and interest on obligations other than those
described above.
11. Obligations issued to pay judgments against the municipality.
Levies for General Obligation Debt
(Sections 475.61 and 475.74, Minnesota Statutes)
Any municipality that issues general obligation debt must, at the time of issuance, certify levies to the
county auditor of the county(ies) within which the municipality is situated. Such levies shall be in an
amount that if collected in full will, together with estimates of other revenues pledged for payment of the
obligations, produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to pay principal and interest when
due. Notwithstanding any other limitations upon the ability of a taxing unit to levy taxes, its ability to levy
taxes for a deficiency in prior levies for payment of general obligation indebtedness is without limitation
as to rate or amount.
Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Chapter 473F, Minnesota Statutes)
“Fiscal Disparities Law”
The Charles R. Weaver Metropolitan Revenue Distribution Act, more commonly known as “Fiscal
Disparities,” was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975. Forty percent of the increase in commercial-
industrial (including public utility and railroad) net tax capacity valuation since 1971 in each assessment
district in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul seven-county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, excluding
the City of Northfield, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, excluding the City of New Prague, and Washington
Counties) is contributed to an area-wide tax base. A distribution index, based on the factors of population
and real property market value per capita, is employed in determining what proportion of the net tax
capacity value in the area-wide tax base shall be distributed back to each assessment district.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the City Council and Management
City of Rosemount, Minnesota
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rosemount,
Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSmiLITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Guvernment Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable ass1.D'8Ilce about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves perfonning procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend oo the auditor's judgmeot, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City's preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accmmting 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 on the previous page present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business~type activities, each
major fimd, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31,2016, 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 and the required supplementary infonnation (RSI), as listed in the table of
contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such infonnation, 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 contexl We have applied certain limited procedures to
the RSI 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 infonnation 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 infonnation because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Otber Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of fonning opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, supplementary infonnation, and
statistical section, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary 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.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic :financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund infonnatioo in our report dated May II, 2016. Io our
opinion, the partial comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31,
2015 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been

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, 2016. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction
with the letter of transmittal and the City's financial statements following this section.
Financial Highlights
> The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $210,618,035 (net position). Of
this amount, $34,839,802 (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 $8,078,268. Most of this increase is attributable to an
increase in capital assets funded by grants or developers.
> At year end, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $6,918,833, or 56 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 bonded debt decreased by $4,215,000 (approximately 20%) during the current
year, however nearly 40% of that decrease related to a bond that was called in 2016.
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, liabilities, and deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, with the difference 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 governmenfs 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).
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; culture, education and recreation; and conservation and economic development. The business-
type activities of the City include water, sewer, storm water and an 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 two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on 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 schedule
has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 13-15 of this report. IV-3
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 deductible& 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 16-19 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 20-60 of this report.
other lnfonnatlon
Required supplementary information is included on pages 61 -67. 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 68-72 of
this report. Lastly, the statistical section is included on pages 73-91.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources by $210,618,035 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position (80 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 Mure 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 ($7,113,065 or 3%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance representing unrestricted net
position ($34,839,802 or 17%) 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 $2,801,834, accounting for 46% of the total
growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase (from governmental activities) of
$4,753,023 in 2015. Revenues increased by approximately $1,200,000 mainly related to capital grants
and contributions in 2016. Total expenses increased from 2015 but in relation to total revenues the net
effect was the increase in net position of $2,801,834.
Business-type activities
Business-type activities increased the City's net position by $3,276,434, accounting for 54% of the total
growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase of $451,777 in 2015. The primary
reason for the larger current year increase was a large increase related to capital grants and contributions
that accounted for almost all of the increase in net position. IV-4

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's
net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
~
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $27,778,945, a decrease of $284,292 in comparison with the prior year. $6,918,833
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
($10,113) is classified as nonspendable in regards to prepaid items, $9,301,251 is classified as restricted
to meet debt service requirements or relates to donations for capital projects 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 $6,918,833, while total fund balance reached $9,888,534. The
following table shows year-end General Fund balances as compared to the adopted expenditure budget

6,506,697 • 55%
6,918,833 • 56%
During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund increased by $412,136. 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, 2016, 100 percent of the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund has been
designated to meet working capital needs.
The debt service fund balance decreased by $949,650 due to accelerated principal payments on the
outstanding bonds. The capital projects fund balance decreased by $114,984 due to larger capital
expenditures tied to previous year revenue collections. The Port Authority TIF fund balance increased by
$459,643 due mainly to the sale of a land parcel to the owners of the new Culver's restaurant.
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 $21,417,538 while the
arena fund had an unrestricted net position amounting to $321,582. The increase in total net position for
the utility funds was $3,229,912 after $635,389 of capital contributions from governmental activities and
$2,876,985 from private entities (i.e. developers) as well as net transfers out of $847,810. The increase in
total net position for the arena fund was $46,522 which included net transfers in of $126,500. IV-6
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
There were a few significant variances between final budgeted revenues and actual amounts. Building
permit revenue exceeded budget by approximately $181,000 because of more activHy than expected.
General government charges for services exceeded budget by approximately $133,000 due mostly to an
increase in plan checking fees and zoning fees related to volume of activity. State aid-general
intergovernmental revenues exceeded budget by approximately $228,000 mainly due to the Safe Routes
to Schools (SRTS) project that had the State paying the CHy $213,000 to help fund the project. All other
revenue areas experienced eHher small surpluses or deficits that led to the final surplus amount. Overall,
total expendHures and other financing uses were 2% over budget with most departments being slightly
less than budget and a few being just slightly over budget. The reason for the final expenditures and other
financing uses being more than budgeted were due to the City share of the SRTS project exceeding the
amount received from the State.

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, 2016
Net change in fund balances -total governmental funds
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
Capital contributions from external parties
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 ($904, 728) on the disposal of
capital assets is reported. In the fund financial statements, proceeds from the sale
of capital assets ($407,581) 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.
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.
Governmental funds report the effect of premiums and discounts, and similar
items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts were amortized in the
statement of activities.
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
Net pension liability
Net pension asset
Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions
Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2016
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 UnHed
States of America, as applicable to governmental units. The accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles is 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 Hs component unH. Component unHs are legally separate organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable or other organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship wHh 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 ) H appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and H 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 unH 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, Hs component units, or Hs constHuents; (2) the primary government or Hs component units,
is entHied 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 Hs component units, is entHied to, or has the ability to otherwise access,
are significant to the primary government.
Component unHs 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 unH should be reported as part of the primary government using the blending method if it
meets any one of the following crHeria: (1) the primary government and the component unH 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, tha primary government rather than
its citizens, or (4) the total debt of the component unH 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 govemmenfs elected council and four citizans
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.

B. GOVE.RNIIIENT-WIDE AND FUNO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In February 2015, the GASB issued Statement No. 72 -Fair Value Measurement and Application. This
statement addresses accounting and financial reporting issues related to fair value measurements. It
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard was
implemented January 1, 2016.
In August 2015, the GASB issued Statement No. 77-Tax Abatement Disclosures. This statement
addresses accounting and financial reporting issues related to tax abatements. This standard was
implemented January 1, 2016.
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. The statements distinguish
between governmental and business-type activHies. 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 wHh 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 capHal requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes end 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 City 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 constHute Hs 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 nonmajor funds within the governmental and proprietary
statements. An emphasis is placed on major funds wHhin 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 1 0% 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 1 0% 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. IV-16

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 levied. 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 St;ltaments
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 amounts are due and payable. IV-17

As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2016
NOTE I -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AccOUNTING POUCIES (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.
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,
deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources 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.

Investment of City funds is restricted by state statutes. Available investments are limited to:
a. 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.

d. 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:
C18dlt 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
any one issuer.
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 IV .A. 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. IV-18

AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY (cont.)
2. Receivables (cont.)
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.
Special assessments are levied against the benefrted 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." lnterfund
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 acquisition 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
Infrastructure
Fund Financial Statements
30-65 Years
4-20 Years
60 Years
65 Years
35-50 Years
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. Deferred Outflows of Resources
A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net position/fund balance that applies to a
future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that future
time. IV-19

6. Compensated Absences
Under terms of employment, employees are granted vacation, sick and comp lime benefrts 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 indefin~ely.
All vested vacation, sick leave and comp lime 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, 2016 are determined on
the basis of current salary rates and include salary related payments.
7. 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, accrued compensated absences, and net pension liability.
Long-term obligations for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial
statements. The face value of debts (plus or minus any premiums or discounts) are reported as another
financing source and payments of principal and interest are reported as expend~res. 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.
8. 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.

9. Equity Classifications
Govemmen...,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 acquis~ion, 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 cred~ors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or, 2) law through const~ulional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net position -All other net pos~ions that do not meet the definitions of "restricted"
or "net investment in cap~l assets."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, ~ is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Statements
Governmental fund balances are displayed as follows:
a. Nonspendable -Includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because !hay 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 e~her 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 do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. The City Council
has authorized the Finance Director and/or Administrator to assign amounts for a specific
purpose. Assignments may take place after the end of the reporting period. IV-20

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 or
committed for those purposes.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance
is available unless there are legal documents I 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 budgeted expenditures. The balance at year end was
$6,918,833, or 56 percent, and is included in unassigned general fund balance.
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.
10. Prior Period lnfonnation
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, 2015, from which the summarized information was derived.
11. Basis for Existing Rates
Current utility rates were approved by the City Council on December 15, 2015.
12. Pension
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association
(PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported by PERA except that PERA's fiscal year end is June 30. For this
purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefrt payments and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefrt terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.

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 $16,500,950 difference are as follows:
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activities are not due and payable in the current
period, and accordingly, are not reported as fund liabilities. Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in
governmental funds, but rather is recognized as an expenditure when due. All liabilities -both current and
long-term -are reported in the statement of net PQSition.

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
altemetively 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.

Other Debt Information
Estimated payments of compensated absences and the net pension liability are not included in the debt
service requirement schedules. The compensated absences liability and net pension liability attributable to
governmental activHies will be liquidated primarily by the general fund.
There are a number of limitetions 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 arbHrage 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 2007, 2010, and 2015. Proceeds from bonds
provided financing for utility improvements. The bonds are payable solely from water and storm water
revenues and are payable through 2026. Annual principal and interest payments on the bonds are
expected to require 9% of net revenues. The total principal and interest remaining to be paid on the bonds
is $2,325,330. Principal and interest paid for the current yaar and the gross customer revenues were
$477,360 and $4,242,919, respectively.
Crossover Refunding
On November 19, 2015, the City issued $3,335,000 in general obligation bonds with an average coupon
rate of 2.73% to advance refund $3,275,000 of outstanding bonds with an average coupon rate of 4.025%.
The net proceeds were used to purchase U.S. government securities. Those securities were deposited in
an account to provide for Mure debt service payments on the new bonds until the crossover date. The
bonds are not considered to be defeased and the liability for those bonds as well as the escrow account
are recorded in the financial statements. This type of advance refunding is commonly called a crossover
refunding.
The cash flow requirements on the refunded debt prior to the advance refunding was $5,014,739 from
2016 through 2032. The cash flow requirements on the refunding bonds are $4,571,096 from 2016
through 2032. The advance refunding resulted in an economic gain (difference between the present
values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of $373,276.
On February 1, 2017, the Port Authority TIF, Series 20088 bonds were called and the balance of
$3,275,000 was paid off. The cash and investments held with a fiscal agent from the proceeds of the Port
Authority TIF Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series 2015A, were liquidated to pay off the bonds.

Benefits. PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by
state statute and can only be modified by the state Legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefrt recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding
ratio of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90 percent funded for two consecutive years are given
2.5 percent increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90 percent funded, or have fallen below
80 percent, are given one percent increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to
active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving
them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
1. General Employees Plan Benefrts
General Employees Plan benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five
successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are
used to compute benefrts for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2).
Under Method 1 , the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average salary for
each of the first ten years of service and 2. 7 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for
a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percerrt of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1. 7 percent
for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary for
Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For
members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and
normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989 normal retirement age is the age
for unreduced Social Security benefrts capped at 66.
2. Police and Fire Plan Benefits
Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 201 0 but before July 1, 2014 vest on a
prorated basis from 50 percent after f1ve years up to 1 00 percent after ten years of credited service.
Benefrts for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50
percent after ten years up to 100 percent after twenty years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate
is 3 percent of average salary for each year of service. For Police and Fire Plan members who were first
hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.

non-employer contributing entity and the state's contribution meets the definition of a special funding
situation. The State of Minnesota's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the City

the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018 relative
to tha total employer contributions received from all of PERA's participating employers. At Juna 30, 2016
the City's proportion share was 0.0653 percerrt which was an increase of 0.0008 percent from its
proportion measured as of Juna 30, 2015.

The total pension liability in the June 30, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation
Active Member Payroll Growth
Investment Rate of Return
2.50% per year
3.25% per year
7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
survivors and disabilitants were based on RP 2014 tables for General Employees Plan and RP-2000
tables for the Police and Fire Plan for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments. Cost of
living benefit increases for retirees are assumed to be one percent per year for all future years for the
General Employees Plan and Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016, valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the General Employees Plan was
completed in 2015. The experience study for Police and Fire Plan was for the period July 1, 2004 through
June 30, 2009.

2035 and 2.5% per year thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
> The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount rate was
changed from 7.9% to 7.5%.
> Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30, 2015. The
assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by 0.25% to 3.25%
for payroll growth and 2.50% for inflation.
Police and Fire Fund
> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year through
2037 and 2.5% thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
> The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount rate
changed from 7.9% to 5.6%.
> The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by 0.25% to
3.25% for payroll growth and 2.50% for inflation.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the
reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block method
in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected
future rates of return by the target asset allocation ·percentages. The target allocation and best estimates
of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Discount rata. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2016 was 7.5%, a reduction
from the 7.9% used in 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed
that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes.
Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees Fund was projected to
be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-
term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.
In the Police and Fire Fund, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2056. Beginning in fiscal years ended
June 30, 2057, when projected benefit payments exceed the funds' projected fiduciary net position, benefit
payments were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 2.85% based on an index of 20-year general
obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating at the measurement date. An equivalent single discount
rate of 5.60% was determined that produced approximately the same present value of projected benefits
when applied to all years of projected benefits as the present value of projected benefits using 7.50%
applied to all years of projected benefits through the point of asset depletion and 2.85% after.

Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association-Defined Banent Pension Plan
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
benefH to its members upon retirement, total disability or death. These benefrt provisions are established
and can be amended by the Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association's Board of Trustees with
approval by the Rosemourll City Council.
Benefits. Individuals with at least 20 years of service who have reached age 50 are entHied to a lump-sum
payment of $7,000 per year of service plus a Supplemental Benefrt of 10% of the regular lump sum
distributions, but not more than $1 ,000. 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.
Employees covered by benefit tenns. At December 31, 2015, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits

male rates set back two years, female rates set back two years.
Healthy Post-Retirement-RP 2000 non-annuitant generational mortality, white collar adjustment,
without age adjustment.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2015 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period January 1, 201fH>ecember 31, 2015.
The discount rate was updated from 6.00% to 5.75%.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best estimates for expected Mure real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension
plan investment expense and inflation) were developed for each major asset class. The asset class
estimates were combined to produce the portfolio long-term expected rate of return by weighting the

Discount rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5. 75 percent. The
discount rate was developed using the aHemative method. Considering the plan's current overfunded
status, combined with statutory funding requirements, H is assumed the projected plan assets will be
adequate to pay future retiree benefits. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.

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 heaHh 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.
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, 2016, 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. IV-34

C. COIIIIMITWIENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the condHions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements are met. The liability and expenditure for claims and judgments are
only reported in governmental funds if H 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. AHhough the
outcome of such matters cannot be forecasted with certainty, H 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 posHion or resuHs 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, 2016. Work that has been completed on
these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retain ages) is reflected as accounts payable and
expenditures. $389,426 remains on commitments on signed contracts that were not year complete as of
year-end.
In 2007, the City through the Port Authority TIF (Authority) entered into an agreement with 14601 Street
Partners, Limited Partnership (Developer) in the form of a tax incremental revenue note to stimulate
economic development. 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 agreement is authorized
through the Contract for Private Redevelopment between the Authority and Developer. The Developer
pays property taxes as they become due, and since meeting the crHeria established in the development
agreement, is entitled to incentive payments that directly correlate to the taxes paid. The incentive is
based on the repayment schedule in the tax incremental revenue note but only to the extent of available
tax increment, defined as 90% of the tax increment that is received by the Authority in the six-month
period immediate before each payment date. The obligation does not constitute a charge upon any funds
of the City. In the event that future tax increments are not sufficient to pay off the obligation, the obligation
terminates with no further liability to the City. Since the amount of future payments is contingent on the
collection of Mure TIF increments, the obligation is not reported as a liability in the accompanying financial
statements. Incentive payments for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $142,603.
