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, 2019, to the registered owners of
record as of the close of business on the 15th day of the immediately preceding month, whether or
not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint, and will maintain, a bond registrar, transfer agent,
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:
(a) Register. The Registrar will keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in
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) Tra nsfer 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 15th day of the month preceding each interest payment date
and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for
exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate
RESOLUTION 2018 - _____
528581v1 JSB RS125-21 3
principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in
writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any 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 at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of such 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 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 Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar money sufficient for the
payment of all principal and interest then due.
RESOLUTION 2018 - _____
528581v1 JSB RS125-21 4
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of
the City Finance Director and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and
the City Clerk, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of
the originals. If 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. The 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 thereof 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. Form o f Bond.
3.01. Form of Bond. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form set forth
in Exhibit B attached hereto.
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 will be complete except as to dating thereof and to cause the opinion to be
printed 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 2018A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created. The Debt
Service Fund shall be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping
account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the
City. Amounts in the Debt Service Fund are irrevocably pledged to the Bonds. To the Debt Service
Fund hereby created, there is hereby pledged and irrevocably appropriated and there will be credited:

the Debt Service Fund; and (E) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are
appropriated by the City Council 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

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
Improvements and the costs thereof paid, may be used as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section

subsequent collections of Assessments for the Improvements and any Taxes 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:

appropriated for their payment, collections thereof and disbursements therefrom, monies on hand
and, the balance of unpaid Assessments.

City. The taxes will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years

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.

RESOLUTION 2018 - _____
528581v1 JSB RS125-21 7

$5,000,000, within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) 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.
6.04. Bank Qualified. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within
the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following factual statements and
representations:
(a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the Code;
(b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than any private activity
bonds, that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all subordinate
entities of the City) during calendar year 2018 will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year 2018 have
been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
6.05. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any federal
procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by this
section.
Section 7. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
7.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten or
printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.04 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
RESOLUTION 2018 - _____
528581v1 JSB RS125-21 8
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
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner
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
RESOLUTION 2018 - _____
528581v1 JSB RS125-21 9
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. 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 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 or by depositing
irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose,
cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, or
any other security authorized under Minnesota law for such purpose, bearing interest payable at such
times and at such rates and maturing on such dates and in such amounts as shall be required and
sufficient, subject to sale and/or reinvestment in like securities, to pay said obligation(s), which may
include any interest payment on such Bond and/or principal amount due thereon at a stated
maturity (or if irrevocable provision shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such
principal amount, at such earlier redemption date). 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.

* Preliminary; subject to change. The information contained in this Preliminary Official Statement is deemed by the City to be final as of the date hereof; however, the pricing and underwriting information is subject to completion or amendment. Under no circumstances shall this Preliminary Official Statement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JULY 18, 2018
NEW ISSUE S&P Rating: Requested
BANK QUALIFIED
In the opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Bond Counsel for the Bonds, based on present federal and Minnesota laws, regulations, 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 (although interest on the Bonds is included in adjusted current earnings
in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income for taxable years that began prior to January 1, 2018) or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax
imposed on individuals, trusts, and estates. Such interest 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 obligations. See "TAX EXEMPTION" and "OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS" herein.

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, 2019. 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:
2020 $170,000 2021 $185,000 2022 $190,000 2023 $190,000 2024 $195,000
* 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 or maturities in multiples of $5,000. In the event the amount
of any maturity 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 differential 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.
Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of serial bonds and
term bonds. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at a price of par plus
accrued interest to the date of redemption scheduled to conform to the maturity schedule set forth above.
In order to designate term bonds, the proposal must specify “Years of Term Maturities” in the spaces
provided on the proposal form.
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 assessment against
benefited properties for repayment of a portion of the Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds, along with
available City funds, will be used to finance various street and related utility improvements within the City.
- iii -
BIDDING PARAMETERS
Proposals shall be for not less than $920,700 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 for each maturity as stated on the proposal 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.
ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE
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. 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 it 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 10% 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 it 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 shal l
thereafter promptly provide the City and Springsted the prices at which 10% of such maturities are sold to
the public; provided such determination shall be made and the City and Springsted notified of such prices
- iv -
whether or not the closing date has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied as to each maturity of the
Bonds or until all of the Bonds of a maturity have been sold.
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 $9,300 (the “Deposit”) no later than 1:30 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 the assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds;
however, 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. Springsted will
- v -
apply for CUSIP numbers pursuant to Rule G-34 implemented by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be
paid by the Purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
On or about September 6, 2018, 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

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
$930,000*
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA
GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2018A
(BOOK ENTRY ONLY)
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Official Statement contains certain information relating to the City of Rosemount, Minnesota (the
“City”) and its issuance of $930,000* General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2018A (the
“Bonds”). The Bonds are general obligations of the City for which it pledges its full faith and credit and
power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City will pledge special assessments from
benefited properties for repayment of a portion of the Bonds.
Inquiries may be directed to Mr. Jeffrey A. May, Finance Director, City of Rosemount, 2875 145th Street
West, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068-4997, by telephoning (651) 423-4411, or by e-mailing
jeff.may@ci.rosemount.mn.us. Inquiries may also be made to Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson Street,
Suite 300, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101-2887, by telephoning (651) 223-3000, or by e-mailing
bond_services@springsted.com.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to assist the Underwriters in complying with SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”), pursuant to the
Awarding Resolution, the City has covenanted to comply with the continuing disclosure certificate (the
“Certificate”) for the benefit of holders or beneficial owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial
information and operating data relating to the City to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board annually,
and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain events enumerated in the Rule to the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board and to any state information depository. The specific nature of the Bonds, as well as the
information to be contained in the annual report or the notices of material events, is set forth in the Certificate
in substantially the forms attached hereto as Appendix II, subject to such modifications thereof or additions
thereto as: (i) consistent with requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the purchaser of the Bonds from
the City, and (iii) acceptable to the Mayor and Clerk of the City.
The City believes it has complied for the past five years in accordance with the terms of its previous
continuing disclosure undertakings entered into pursuant to the Rule, except to the extent the following are
deemed to be material. In reviewing its past disclosure practices, the City notes the following:
• Prior continuing disclosure undertakings entered into by the City included language stating that the
City’s audited financial statements would be filed “as soon as available.” Although not always
filed “as soon as available,” the audited financial statements were filed within the required twelve
(12) month timeframe as required in each undertaking.
A failure by the City to comply with the Certificate will not constitute an event of default on the Bonds
(although holders or other beneficial owners of the Bonds will have the sole remedy of bringing an action for
specific performance). Nevertheless, such a failure must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must
- 2 -
be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale
of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability
and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price.
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, 2019. 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 “banking
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.
- 3 -
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
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests 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 Beneficial 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.
- 4 -
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.
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 to finance various street and related utility
improvements within the City.
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS
The composition of the Bonds is estimated to be as follows:
Sources of Funds:
Principal Amount $ 930,000
Available City Funds 191,300
Total Sources of Funds $1,121,300
Uses of Funds:
Deposit to Project Fund $1,075,297
Costs of Issuance 36,703
Allowance for Discount Bidding 9,300
Total Uses of Funds $1,121,300
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 $914,937 are expected to be filed in the fall of 2018 for first collection in 2019.
Assessments will be collected over a term of five years with equal annual collections. Interest on the unpaid
balance will be charged at an interest rate estimated to be 4.58%.
The City will also levy taxes for repayment of a portion of the Bonds, and will make its first levy in 2018
for collection in 2019. 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.
- 5 -
FUTURE FINANCING
The City does not anticipate issuing any additional long-term general obligation debt within the next
90 days.
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 (although interest on the Bonds is included in adjusted
current earnings in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income for taxable years that began
prior to January 1, 2018) or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals, trusts, and
estates. Such interest 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.
- 6 -
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 the applicable percentage of the amount of tax-exempt interest received or accrued during the taxable
year on certain obligations, including interest on the Bonds.
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 imposed by Section 884 of the Code. 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 a certain percentage 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 obligations 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.
RATING
Application for a rating of the Bonds has been made to S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), 55 Water Street, New
York, New York. If a rating is assigned, it will reflect only the opinion of S&P. Any explanation of the
significance of the rating may be obtained only from S&P.
- 7 -
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 S&P, 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, 2018, the City had a total of $43,695,089 invested funds as follows:
Amount Invested
Type of Security Length of Investment as of 5-31-18

Recent and Proposed Development
In 2017, building permit levels were relatively consistent with 2016, both in terms of number of units and
valuation. During the first five months of 2018, construction has been more robust. The number of permits
for new dwelling units as of May 31, 2018 is 103 units. That count compares favorably to the 135 total
units for 2017 and 136 total units for 2016. Construction in 2018 includes one apartment building in a
seven-building complex, approved by the City in 2017, and a combination of townhomes and single-family
homes, with the majority being single-family homes.
From the residential side, the City has experienced more applications for development maintaining a supply
of developed lots for future construction. There are presently 246 final platted lots and 46 platted
townhomes with another 353 lots receiving preliminary plat approval. Those numbers do not include the
remainder of the 2017 seven-building apartment complex project noted above. Additional subdivision
applications are anticipated in late summer. These projects will primarily be located in the north central
portion of the City. It is anticipated that another apartment building and a 42-unit affordable townhouse
project will begin in 2018 with completion slated for 2019. Most recently, the University of Minnesota
approved a purchase agreement with Newland Communities for 435 acres within the UMore Park area.
The developer plans to conduct their due diligence and then begin to master plan the area, located south of
County Road 42 and west of Dakota County Technical College.
The City continues to work with OPUS regarding its 160 acres within UMore Park to attract new business
into the community. The City has also proposed to several business park users for other lands within the
UMore Park and Rosemount Business Park areas. Several of these sites ha ve been deemed shovel ready
by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development or through a program initiated
by Xcel Energy, the local power company.
In 2017, approximately $74,717,882 of new valuation, and in the first 5 months of 2018, $32,612,566 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, continues to reinvest in its plant, while with other companies such as
Proto Labs, Halvor Transportation, and Hawkins Chemicals expand their local presence. The local school
district, Independent School District No. 196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan), is also conducting
significant site and building modifications at the Rosemount High School, Middle School, and Elementary
schools.

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
- 21 -
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. Erin Fasbender serves as the City Clerk.
Growth and development of the City is guided by its Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which is currently
being updated with final approval scheduled to occur by the end of 2018. The Comprehensive Plan update,
which covers years 2020-2040, 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 91 regular full-time and 185 seasonal full- and part-time employees.
Services
Police protection for the City is provided by 25 sworn full-time officers, and three other police personnel.
Fire protection is provided by 47 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 2,520,849 gallons pumped daily in 2017.
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.

volunteers therefore, there are no covered payroll amounts or member contributions required. Individuals
with at least 20 years of service who have reached age 50 are entitled to a lump-sum payment of $7,300 per
year of service, plus a Supplemental Benefit 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% after 10 years of service, increasing 4% for each year of service after
10 years to a maximum of 100%. Members retiring before 50 years of age do not receive distributions until
age 50, but interest at 5% per year is added to their retirement benefit until paid.

GASB 68
The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions (GASB 68) and related GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for
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.
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

2018 Omnibus Retirement Bill
On Thursday, May 31, 2018, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed into law the 2018 Omnibus
Retirement Bill, which includes sustainability measures for all four of the St ate’s public pension systems,
including PERA. The City anticipates this legislation will have some level of positive impact on the
proportionate share of pension costs and net pension liability for GERF for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2018 and thereafter.

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 ar e 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.
GASB 75
In June 2015, the Government Accounting Standards Board approved Statement No. 75, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB 75), establishing new
accounting and financial reporting requirements for government employer OPEB plans. GASB 75 will
replace GASB 45 and will take effect for the City for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The City
anticipates some level of impact on its financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

PROPOSED FORM OF LEGAL OPINION
$930,000
General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2018A
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 2018A
(the “Bonds”), originally dated the date hereof and issued in the original aggregate principal amount of
$930,000. 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 against the issuer 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, and 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 (although interest on the Bonds is included in adjusted current earnings in
calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income for taxable years that began prior to January 1,
2018), or the computation of the Minnesota alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals, trusts and
estates. However, such interest is subject to Minnesota franchise taxes on corporations (including financial
institutions) measured by income and the alternative minimum 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 specific 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 subj ect 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 t rust
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 which are payable wholly or partly from the proceeds of
special assessments levied upon property specially benefited thereby, including those which are
general obligations of the municipality issuing them, if the municipality is entitled to
reimbursement in whole or in part from the proceeds of the special assessments.
III-3
2. Warrants or orders having no definite or fixed maturity.
3. Obligations payable wholly from the income from revenue producing conveniences.
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 of any combination thereof or for any other public
convenience from which a revenue is or may be derived.
6. Debt service loans and capital loans made to a school district under the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 126C.68 and 126C.69.
7. Amount of all money and the face value of all securities held as a debt service fund for the
extinguishment of obligations other than those deductible under this subdivision.
8. Obligations to repay loans made under Minnesota Statutes, Section 216C.37.
9. Obligations to repay loans made from money received from litigation or settlement of alleged
violations of federal petroleum pricing regulations.
10. Obligations issued to pay pension fund or other postemployment benefit liabilities under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.52, subdivision 6, or any charter authority.
11. Obligations issued to pay judgments against the municipality under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.52, subdivision 6, or any charter authority.
12. All other obligations which under the provisions of law authorizing their issuance are not to be
included in computing the net debt of 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, 2017, 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 RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves perfonning procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City's preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accolDlting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accmmting 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 fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2017, 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 information (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 context. 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 information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assmance.
Other 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 information, 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 acc01mting 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 supplementary
information is fairly stated, in all materia1 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.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GollERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued om report dated May 7, 2018 on
our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests ofits compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose
of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

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, 2017. 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 $216,385,154 (net position). Of
this amount, $37,611,118 (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 $5,767,119. This increase is partially attributable to an
increase in capital assets funded by grants or developers.
> At year end, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $7,333,743, 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 7.
> The City's total bonded debt decreased by $4,905,000 (approximately 28%) during the current
year, however $3,275,000 of that decrease related to a payment to an escrow account in 2017 to
refund debt.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets, liabilities, and deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over lime, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned/vested but unused vacation and sick leave).
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 four 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 deductibles and to
accumulate resources for the risk of uninsured loss. Because this service predominantly benefits
governmental rather than business-type functions, It has been included within governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for each of the
public utilities, which are considered to be major funds of the City, and information on the ice arena fund,
which is considered a non-major fund. The internal service fund is also presented separately in the
proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 16-19 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements
The notes provide addltional 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 20-61 of this report.
Other Information
Required supplementary information is included on pages 62-70. 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 71-75 of
this report. Lastly, the statistical section is included on pages 76-94.
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 $216,385,154 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City's net position (79 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 capita! assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in capita!
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 addltional portion of the City's net position ($7,151,722 or 3%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance representing unrestricted net
position ($37,611,118) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of
net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-
type activities.
Governmental activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $5,379,492, accounting for approximately
93% of the total growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase (from
governmental activities) of $2,801,834 in 2016. Revenues increased by nearly $1,500,000 mainly related
to charges for services, property taxes, and capital grants and contributions in 2017. Total expenses
decreased from 2016 and the net effect was the increase in net position of $5,379,492. Net transfers from
business-type activities to governmental activities were $1,041,660 more than the prior year, also
attributing to the changes in net position.
Business-type activities
Business-type activities increased the City's net position by $387,627 accounting for approximately 7% of
the total growth in the government's net position. This compares to an increase of $3,276,434 in 2016.
The primary reason for the change in net position compared to the prior year change was due to
significant capita! grants and contributions received in prior year. IV-4

Financlal 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 $25,445,443, a decrease of $2,333,502 in comparison with the prior year. $7,333,743
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 ($444) is classified as nonspendable in regards to prepaid items, $4,854,162 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 $7,333,743, while total fund balance reached $9,556,250. The
following table shows year-end General Fund balances as compared to the adopted expenditure budget
of the following year:

2017 12,392,700 7,333,743 56%
2018 13,086,400
During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund increased by $414,910. 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, 2017, 100 percent of the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund is available
to meet working capital needs.
The debt service fund balance decreased by $1,323,843 due to accelerated principal payments on the
outstanding bonds. The capital projects fund balance increased by $2,396,654 due to debt issues and
transfers in compared to actual capital expenditures (mostly related to timing of collections and
expenditures). The Port Authority TIF fund balance decreased by $3,145,005 due to the payment to an
escrow account to refund debt.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
There were a few slight variances between final budgeted revenues and actual amounts. Building permit
revenue exceeded budget by approximately $46,000 because of more activity than expected. Public
charges for services exceeded budget by approximately $32,000 due mosUy to higher than expected
collections for highway & street revenues and Park & Rec revenues. State aid intergovernmental
revenues exceeded budget by approximately $62,000 mainly due to the collection of several small grants.
Interest revenues were approximately $33,000 higher than budgeted because of improving market
conditions and miscellaneous revenues were approximately $40,000 more than budgeted mainly because
of a tree dedication received from Flint Hills. All other revenue areas experienced either small surpluses
or deficits that led to the final surplus amount. Overall, total expenditures and other financing uses were
slightly less than 2% under budget with most departments being slightly less than budget and a few being
just slightly over budget.

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, 2017
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
In the statement of activities, the loss of ($25,024) on the disposal of
capital assets is reported. In the fund financial statements, proceeds from the sale
of capital assets ($42,394) are reported because the proceeds increase
financial resources
Internal service funds are reported in the statement of activities.
Receivables not currently available are reported as unavailable revenue in the fund financial
statements but are recognized as revenue when earned in the government-wide
financial statements.
Issuing debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing
debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. This is the amount of
debt issued during the year.
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. This is the amount
of principal payments paid.
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, 2017
NOTE I -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Rosemount, Minnesota (the "City") was formed and operates pursuant to applicable Minnesota
laws and statutes. The governing body consists of a five-member City Council elected at large by voters of
the City. City Council members serve four-year staggered terms and the mayor serves a four-year term
coinciding with the terms of two of the Council members. Elections take place every two years.
The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, as applicable to governmental units. The accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles 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 its component unit. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable or other organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that their exclusion would cause
the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The primary government is financially
accountable if (1) it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and it is able to
impose ns will on that organization, (2) it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body
and there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific
financial burdens on, the primary government, (3) the organization is fiscally dependent on and there is a
potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens
on, the primary government. Certain legally separate, tax exempt organizations should also be reported
as a component unit if all of the following criteria are met: (1) the economic resources received or held
by the separate organization are entirely or almost entirely for the direct benefit of the primary
government, its component units, or its constituents; (2) the primary government or its component units,
is entitled to, or has the ability to access, a majority of the economic resources received or held by the
separate organization; and (3) the economic resources received or held by an individual organization
that the primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access,
are significant to the primary government.
Component units are reported using one of two methods, discrete presentation or blending. Generally,
component units should be discretely presented in a separate column in the financial statements. A
component unit should be reported as part of the primary government using the blending method if it
meets any one of the following criteria: (1) the primary government and the component unit have
substantially the same governing body and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists, (2) the
primary government and the component unit have substantially the same governing body and
management of the primary government has operational responsibility for the component unit, (3) the
component unit serves or benefits, exclusively or almost exclusively, the primary government rather than
its citizens, or (4) the total debt of the component unit will be paid entirely or almost entirely from
resources of the primary government. The financial statements include the Rosemount Port Authority as
a blended component unit. The Port Authority serves all the citizens of the government and is governed
by a board comprised of three of five of the primary government's elected council and four citizens
appointed at large. The bond issuance authorizations are approved by the primary government's council
and the legal liability for the general obligation portion of the Port Authority's debt remains with the
primary government. The Port Authority is reported in a special revenue fund and debt service fund. The
Rosemount Port Authority does not issue separate financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2017
NOTE I -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting
government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity. The statements distinguish
between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed
through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues. Business-type
activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. The City does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the statement
of activities. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other nems not included among program revenues are
reported as general revenues. Internally directed 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 constitute its assets, deferred outflows or resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, net
position/fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.
Funds are organized as major funds or nonmajor funds within the governmental and proprietary
statements. An emphasis is placed on major funds wnhin the governmental and proprietary categories. A
fund is considered major if ii is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets/deferred outflows of resources, liabilities/deferred inflows of resources, revenues, or
expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10% of the
corresponding total for all funds of that category or type, and
b. The same element of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund that met the 10% test is
at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.
c. In addition, any other governmental or enterprise fund that the City believes is particularly
important to financial statement users may be reported as a major fund. IV-17

Fund Financial Statements (cont.)
In addition, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by
one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Insurance Fund -accumulates resources to pay deductibles and uninsured claims, and
pays for a majority of the general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance
premiums for the City.
c. MEASUREMENT Focus, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide statement of net position and statement of activities are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is
incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting
from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Property
taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar Items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider are met. Special
assessments are recorded as revenue when 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 Statements
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when they are both
measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter
to be used to pay liabillties 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-18

As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2017
NOTE I -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AcCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
c. MEASUREMENT Focus, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (cont.)
Fund Financial Statements (cont.)
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest
associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to susceptible to accrual and so have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable
due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current
period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received
by the City.
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting, as described previously in this note.
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.

1. Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with an Initial
maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Investment of City funds is restricted by state statutes. Available investments are limited to:
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.
Government Securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or certain Minnesota
brokers/dealers.
b. General obligations of the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities.

c. Bankers acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
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:
Credit Risk -The policy follows state statutes for allowable investments except that it does
not permit the purchase of shares of investment companies registered under the Federal
Investment Company Act of 1940 whose only investments are direct obligations guaranteed
by the United States or its agencies.
Concentration of Credit Risk -The policy does not limit the amount the City may invest in
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-19

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) in the governmental fund financial
statements because they are not known to be available to finance current expenditures.
Special assessments are levied against the benefited properties for the assessable costs of special
assessments improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. The City usually adopts the
assessment rolls when the individual projects are complete. The assessments are collectible over a term
of years generally consistent with the term of years of the related bond issue. Collection of annual
installments {including interest) is handled by the County in the same manner as property taxes. Property
owners are allowed to prepay total future installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
Special assessments receivable includes the following components:
> Current -amount collected by Dakota County and not remitted to the City.
> Delinquent -amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
> Unavailable -assessment installments, which will be billed to property owners in future years.
> Other -assessments for which payment has been postponed based on council action.
Accounts receivable are considered to be 100% collectible.
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds that may result in amounts
owed between funds. Short-term interfund loans are reported as "due to and from other funds." Long-term
interfund loans {noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other funds." 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
30-65 Years
4-20 Years
60 Years
65 Years
35-50 Years
Land, some land improvements, and construction work in progress are not depreciated.
Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as
capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary
fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the government-wide statements.
5. 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-20

6. Compensated Absences
Under terms of employment, employees are granted vacation, sick and comp time benefits in varying
amounts. These benefits are based upon union contracts and City actions as applicable. Amounts carried
forward for vacation and comp time accruals are governed by these contracts and actions. Sick pay
accruals may be carried forward indefinitely.
All vested vacation, sick leave and comp time pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if
they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements, and are payable
with expendable available resources.
Payments for vacation, sick and comp time leave will be made at rates in effect when the benefits are
used. Accumulated vacation, sick and comp time leave liabilities at December 31, 2017 are determined on
the basis of current salary rates and include salary related payments.
7. Long-Tenn 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 expenditures. The accounting in
proprietary funds is the same as it is in the government-wide statements.
The City has approved the issuance of industrial revenue bonds (IRB) for the benefit of private business
enterprises. IRB's are secured by mortgages or revenue agreements on the associated projects, and do
not constitute indebtedness of the City. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements. At year end, the aggregate principal amount for the four issues
outstanding could not be determined; however, their original issue amounts totaled $13,094,720.
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 lime.

9. Equity Classifications
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets -Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets,
net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances (excluding unspent
debt proceeds) of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to
the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
b. Restricted net position -Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use either by
1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or, 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted net position -All other net positions that do not meet the definitions of "restricted"
or "net investment in capital assets."
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Statements
Governmental fund balances are displayed as follows:
a. Nonspendable -Includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because they are
not in spendable form or because legal or contractual requirements require them to be
maintained intact.
b. Restricted -Consists of fund balances with constraints placed on their use either by 1) external
groups such as creditors, granters, 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-21

Fund Statements (cont.)
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 / 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
$7,333,743, 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. Basis for Existing Rates
Current utility rates were approved by the City Council on December 20, 2016.
11. Pension
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association
(PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the
same basis as they are reported by PERA except that PERA's fiscal year end is June 30. For this
purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.
The PERA has a special funding situation created by a direct aid contribution made by the state of
Minnesota. The direct aid is a result of the merger of the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund into the
PERA on January 1, 2015.

NOTE 11-RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ExPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET AND
THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance -total
governmental funds and net position -governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains that "Some liabilities, including long-
term debt, are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds". The
details of this $11,964,536 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 position.

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

Deposits in each local and area bank are insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for time and
savings accounts (including NOW accounts) and $250,000 for demand deposit accounts (interest-bearing
and noninterest-bearing). In addition, if deposits are held in an institution outside of the state in which the
government is located, insured amounts are further limited to a total of $250,000 for the combined amount
of all deposit accounts.
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), created by the Securities Investor Protection Act of
1970, is an independent government-sponsored corporation (not an agency of the U.S. government).
SIPC membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which
$100,000 may be in cash.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair
value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs
are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

Benefits. PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefrt provisions are established by
state statute and can only be modified by the state Legislature.
Benefrt 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 benefrt 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 benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of a step-rate benefrt 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 percent 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 Benefrts
Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2010 but before July 1, 2014 vest on a
prorated basis from 50 percent after five years up to 100 percent after ten years of credited service.
Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50
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.

1. General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a liability of $4,155,941 for Its proportionate share of the General
Employees Fund's net pension liability. The City's net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the
State of Minnesota's contribution of $6 million to the fund in 2017. The State of Minnesota is considered a
non-employer contributing entity and the state's contribution meets the definition of a special funding
situation. The State of Minnesota's proportionate share of the net pension liabillty associated with the City
totaled $52,248. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017 and the total pension liability
used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The
City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City's contributions received by PERA during
the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 relative
to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA's participating employers. At June 30, 2017
the City's proportion share was 0.0651 percent which was a decrease of 0.0002 percent from its
proportion measured as of 2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $544,335 for its
proportionate share of the General Employees Plan's pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an
additional $1,509 as pension expense and grant revenue for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota's contribution of $6 million to the General Employees Fund. IV-30

the year ended December 31, 2017, as pension expense and grant revenue for its proportionate share of
the State of Minnesota's on-behalf contributions to the Police and Fire Fund. Legislation passed in 2013
required the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the Police and Fire Fund each year,
starting in fiscal year 2014.

The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017, 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 all plans for males or females, as
appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA's experience. Cost of living benefrt increases for retirees
are assumed to be one percent per year for the General Employees Plan through 2044 and Police and
Fire Plan through 2064 and then 2.5 percent thereafter for both plans.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017, 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 completed in 2016.

Actuarial Assumptions (cont.)
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2017:
General Employees Fund
> The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active
members and 60 percent for vested and non-vested deferred members. The revised CSA
loads are now 0.0 percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested deferred
member liability and 3.0 percent for non-vested deferred member liability.
> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year
for all years to 1.0 percent per year through 2044 and 2.5 percent per year thereafter.
Police and Fire Fund
> Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016 experience
study. The net effect is proposed rates that average 0.34 percent lower than the previous
rates.
> Assumed rates of retirement were changed, resulting in fewer retirements.
> The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) load was 30 percent for vested and non-vested
deferred members. The CSA has been changed to 33 percent for vested members and 2
percent for non-vested members.
> The base mortality table for healthy annuitants was changed from the RP-2000 fully
generational table to the RP-2014 fully generational table (with a base year of 2006), with
male rates adjusted by a factor of 0.96. The mortality improvement scale was changed from
Scale AA to Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was changed
from the RP-2000 disabled mortality table to the mortality tables assumed for healthy retirees.
> Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3.0 percent for the first three years of service.
Rates beyond the select period of three years were adjusted, resulting in more expected
terminations overall.
> Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65 percent to 60
percent.
> Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members (wives
assumed to be three years younger) and female members (husbands assumed to be four
years older to the assumption that males are two years older than females. IV-32

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 rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2017 was 7 .50%. 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 positions of the General Employees Fund and the Police and Fire Fund was projected to
be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-
term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

liability for all plans it participates in, calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding

Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association-Defined Benefit 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
benefit to its members upon retirement, total disability or death. These benefit provisions are established
and can be amended by the Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association's Board of Trustees with
approval by the Rosemount City Council.
Benefits. Individuals with at least 20 years of service who have reached age 50 are entitled to a lump-sum
payment of $7,100 per year of service plus a Supplemental Benefit 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 1 O 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 terms. At December 31, 2016, the following employees were covered by
the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits
Active members

Contributions. The contribution requirements are established and may be amended by the Minnesota
State Legislature. The Rosemount Fire Department Relief Association is comprised of volunteers.
Therefore, there are no covered payroll amounts or member contributions required.
Pension Costs. At December 31, 2017, the City reported a net pension asset of $1,246,634 for the plan.
The net pension asset was measured as of December 31, 2016. The total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension asset in accordance with GASB 68 was determined by applying an actuarial
formula to specific census data certified by the Department as of December 31, 2016.

Mortality rates were based on the July 1, 2016 Minnesota Public Employees' Retirement Association
Police and Fire Plan actuarial valuation as described below:
Healthy Pre-Retirement -RP 2000 non-annuitant generational mortality, white collar adjustment,
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, 2016 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period January 1, 2016-December 31, 2016.
The discount rate was updated from 5.75 % to 6.75%.
The benefit lump-sum payment per year of service increased from $7,000 to $7,100.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best estimates for expected future 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
expected future real rates of return by the current asset allocation percentage and by adding expected
inflation (2.75%). All results are then rounded to the nearest quarter percentage point.

Discount rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6. 75 percent. The
discount rate was developed using the alternative method. Considering the plan's current overfunded
status, combined with statutory funding requirements, it 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.
Net pension asset sensitivity. The following presents the City's net pension asset for the plan,

8. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; workers' compensation; and health care of its employees. The City purchases
commercial insurance and participates in a public entity risk pool called the Minnesota League of Cities
Insurance Trust to provide coverage for these various risks of loss. Settled claims have not exceeded
coverage in any of the past three years. There were no significant reductions in coverage compared to the
prior year.
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, 2017, there are no claims liabilities in the Insurance Fund based on the
requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 10, which requires that a
liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that
it is probable a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated.

C. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the conditions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements are met. The liability and expenditure for claims and judgments are
only reported in governmental funds if it has matured. Claims and judgments are recorded in the
government-wide statements and proprietary funds as expenses when the related liabilities are incurred.
From time to time, the City is party to various pending claims and legal proceedings. Although the
outcome of such matters cannot be forecasted with certainty, it is the opinion of management and the City
attorney that the likelihood is remote that any such claims or proceedings will have a material adverse
effect on the City's financial position or results of operations.
The City has received federal and state grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by
the granter 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, 2017. Work that has been completed on
these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retainages) is reflected as accounts payable and
expenditures. $1,680,484 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) which was established under Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 469.0813, entered into an agreement with 146th 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 criteria 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 future TIF
increments, the obligation is not reported as a liability in the accompanying financial statements. Incentive
payments for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $144,735 IV-36

Budgetary Information
Budgetary information is derived from the annual operating budget and is presented using generally
accepted accounting principles and the modified accrual basis of accounting with departures from
generally accepted accounting principles for encumbrances.
Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA)
The amounts determined for each fiscal year were determined as of the calendar year-end and occurred
within the fiscal year.
The City is required to present the last ten years of data; however, accounting standards allow the
presentation of as many years as are available until ten fiscal years are presented.
Changes in benefit terms: There were no changes of benefit terms for any participating employer in the
Public Employees Retirement Association.
2017 General Employees Fund Changes:
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
> The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active members
and 60 percent for vested and nonvested deferred members. The revised CSA loads are now
zero percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested deferred member liability, and 3.0
percent for nonvested deferred member liability.
> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year for all
years to 1.0 percent per year through 2044, and 2.5 percent per year thereafter.
2016 General Employees Fund Changes:
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year
through 2035, and 2.5 percent per year thereafter, to 1.0 percent per year for all years.
> The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. The single
discount rate was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent.
> 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 percent to
3.25 percent for payroll growth, and 2.50 percent for inflation.

2015 General Employees Fund Changes:
Changes in Plan Provisions:
> On January 1, 2015, the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund was merged into the General
Employees Retirement Fund, which increased the total pension liability by $1.1 billion and
increased the fiduciary plan net position by $892 million. Upon consolidation, state and employer
contributions were revised.
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year

percent per year thereafter.
2017 Police and Fire Fund Changes:

> Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016 experience
study. The net effect is proposed rates that average 0.34 percent lower than the previous rates.
> Assumed rates of retirement were changed, resulting in fewer retirements.
> The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) load was 30 percent for vested and nonvested deferred
members. The CSA has been changed to 33 percent for vested members and 2 percent for
nonvested members.
> The base mortality table for healthy annuitants was changed from the RP-2000 fully generational
table to the RP-2014 Fully Generational Table (with a base year of 2006), with male rates
adjusted by a factor of 0.96. The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale AA to
Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was changed from the RP-2000
Disabled Mortality Table to the mortality tables assumed for healthy retirees.
> Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3.0 percent for the first three years of service.
Rates beyond the select period of three years were adjusted, resulting in more expected
terminations overall.
> Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65 percent to 60 percent.
> Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members (wives
assumed to be three years younger) and female members (husbands assumed to be four years
older) to the assumption that males are two years older than females.
> The assumed percentage of female members electing joint and survivor annuities was increased.
