INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
City Council and Residents
City of Monticello, Minnesota
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 Monticello,
Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
' America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
1 as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2008, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable thereof, for the year then ended in
' conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note i of the notes to basic financial statements, the City has implemented Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45, "Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for
Post -Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions," during the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Schedule of Funding Progress, and the budgetary
comparison schedules, as listed in the table of contents, are not required parts of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and, accordingly, we express no
opinion on it.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section and combining nonmajor fund
statements, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The combining nonmajor fund statements have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

CITY OF MONTICELLO
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2008
As management of the City of Monticello, Minnesota (the City), we offer the readers of these financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the City's financial activities for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at year-end by $114,029,490 (net assets). Of this amount,
$32,975,060 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $35,194,348, a decrease of $3,710,555 from the prior year. Reserved and designated uses of
fund balance totaled $23,281,868, leaving $11,912,480 available for spending at the City's discretion
(unreserved and undesignated fund balance).
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved — undesignated fund balance for the General Fund was
$1,286,439 or 19 percent of total General Fund expenditures for 2008. The City targets 45 percent as the
optimum fund balance level, providing a reserve for cash flow during the first five months of each
subsequent year until property tax receipts are released from the county treasurer's office and distributed
to the local levels of government. The amount that represents this 45 percent level is reported as
designated for working capital in the General Fund.
The City's total long-term liabilities increased by $20,849,169 (38.6 percent) during 2008. Principal
payments made on outstanding debt totaled $20,945,592. The City issued new debt of $41,895,000 in
2008, which included refinancing of the Series 1997 General Obligation Wastewater Treatment Note,
Series 2000A Public Project Revenue Bonds, and the financing of the Fiber Optics Project for the City.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements, which are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund
financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements.
The report also contains other required supplementary information, which can provide detailed
information on the City's financial activity.
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 Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with
the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, the changes in net assets may serve as a
useful indicator of the financial health of the City.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the
year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event affecting the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as uncollected taxes
and earned but unused vacation leave.
-2-
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (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 provided by the City include general government, public safety,
public works, culture and recreation, sanitation, and economic development. Business -type activities
include water, sewer, liquor, cemetery, and fiber optics activities.
Fund Financial Statements — A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other units of
government, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal
requirements. All of the City's funds 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 funds financial statements focus on near-term
receipt and use of spendable resources, as well as on the balance of spendable resources available at the
end of the fiscal year. This 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 statements. By doing so,
readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term financing decisions. Both the
governmental funds Balance Sheet and the governmental funds Statement of Revenue, Expenditures, and
Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison.
The City maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds Balance Sheet and in the governmental funds Statement of Revenue, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Community Center Special Revenue Fund, Capital
Outlay Revolving Special Revenue Fund, Economic Development Authority Special Revenue Fund,
Sanitary Sewer Access Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Fund, all of
which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining 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 budget for its General Fund and several special revenue funds. A budgetary
comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund and budgeted major special revenue funds
to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budgets.
Proprietary Funds — The City maintains five enterprise funds which are considered 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 water and sewer
service operations, liquor sales operation, cemetery maintenance, and fiber optics operation.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements provide separate information for each of the
enterprise operations.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements — The notes to basic financial statements provide additional
information that is essential to obtaining a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide
and fund financial statements.
Other Information — Additional information on nonmajor funds can be found in the combining
nonmajor fund statements section of this report.

GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position.
The City's assets exceeded its liabilities by $114,029,490 at the end of 2008.
A portion of the City's net assets (52 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings,
machinery and equipment, and infrastructure) less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those
assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not
available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of
related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
resources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
A portion of the City's net assets (28.9 percent) reflects its unrestricted net assets which may be used to
meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

At the end of 2008, the City was able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets, both for
the government as a whole and for its separate governmental and business -type activities.
Governmental Activities — The net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt in the City's
governmental activities increased from the previous year due to significant infrastructure improvements
and additions. A significant portion of the increase was related to the continuation of the City's
Reconstruction Program and the additional improvements to the City's infrastructure, including
reconstruction of Jerry Liefert and Kevin Longley Drives in 2008. The City also had a significant prior
period adjustment in fiscal 2008 that was due to efforts by city management to properly account for land
held for resale and capital assets of the City put in place over the last several years.
Business -Type Activities — The net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt in the City's
business -type activities decreased during 2008 mainly due to the prior period adjustment in fiscal 2008
that was due to efforts by city management to properly account for land held for resale and capital assets
of the City put in place over the last several years. The reason for the decrease of unrestricted net assets is
related to the new bond taken out for the construction of the City's Fiber Optics Project. In 2008, the
project included the construction of the central office building which will house the electronics for the
system and fiber backbone within the City.

Revenues for the City's governmental activities decreased by $3,157,315 or 17.7 percent. The major
components of this decrease are explained as follows:
• Capital grants and contributions decreased by $2,668 or 73.8 percent. This decrease was due to a
decline of capital project activity in fiscal 2008.
• Charges for services decreased by $561,757 or 14.8 percent. This decrease was primarily due to a
reduction in sanitary sewer access fees collected of $177,830, a reduction in storm sewer access fees
of $50,272, a reduction in water access fees of $55,688, and a reduction in planning and engineering
fees of $481,946, all due to a decrease in new development and construction activities.
• Investment earnings decreased by $708,367 due to a decrease in interest rates and available cash to
invest from the prior year.
Expenses — City expenses for governmental activities decreased by $370,647 or 2.6 percent. This decline is
primarily due to a decline in overall general government costs.

Business -type activities decreased the City's net assets by $1,517,183. The rates for each of the City's
utility services operated as enterprise funds are reviewed annually and adjusted by the City Council to assure
operating revenues are independently sufficient to cover their own operating expenses and provide for their
own capital equipment replacement needs. Capital grants and contributions may be necessary for the future
replacement of facility needs as the current and projected future rates will not be sufficient for their ultimate
replacement.
The City's business -type charges for services increased by $268,175 or 8.6 percent primarily due to
increased sales from the liquor store operation of $56,546 and additional revenue from sewer and water
charges of $215,984.
Capital grants and contributions decreased by $375,625 due to a decrease in capital asset contributions from
governmental funds.
Business -type expenses increased from the previous year by approximately $1,550,000 due to increased
costs related to the Fiber Optics Fund of $1,505,643.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related
legal requirements.
Governmental Funds — The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
receipts, uses, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved 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 $35,194,348, a decrease of $3,710,555 from the prior year. Approximately 51.5 percent of
this total amount ($11,912,480) constitutes unreserved and undesignated fund balance, which is available
for spending at the City's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is designated to indicate that,
although it is available for spending, it has been internally committed: 1) to liquidate contracts and
purchase orders of the prior period; 2) to pay debt service, or 3) for a variety of other designated purposes.
The City's General Fund increased $617,065 during the current fiscal year. Increased licenses and
permits, and property taxes provided additional revenues in 2008. The City also implemented a new
revenue source, the rental housing inspection fees, which generated an additional $5,545 in General Fund
revenue in 2008. Each of the main activities of the General Fund were completed efficiently and
effectively as authorized within the adopted budget, without using reserve balances. This resulted in total
General Fund expenditures being under budget by $614,969 for the year.
Community Center Special Revenue Fund — The increase in the Community Center Special Revenue
Fund balance was the result of additional revenue generated through increases in memberships, an
increase in property tax revenues, and a decrease in the transfer to the debt service funds for the 2008 debt
payment for the facility, which was refinanced in 2008.
Sanitary Sewer Access Special Revenue Fund — The Sanitary Sewer Access Special Revenue Fund
decreased by $971,515 due to reduced revenues because of less new development activity taking place in
the City and the transfer of funds for the Sanitary Sewer Access Special Revenue Fund's share of debt
service payments.
Capital Projects Fund — This fund's resources decreased in the current year primarily from previous
proceeds from the sale of bonds being used for completion of various public improvement projects.
12
Proprietary Funds — The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government -wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net assets at the end of the year totaled $4,423,371 for the Water Fund and Sewer Fund,
$2,373,751 for the Liquor and Cemetery Funds, and a deficit ($2,267,292) for the Fiber Optics Fund.
Capital assets, net of related debt, account for approximately 87.3 percent of total enterprise fund net
assets. The City is in the process of installing a fiber optic network to every premise in the City to
provide phone, high-speed Internet, and cable television services. The City will pay for the cost of
operation and maintenance of the system from user fees. Since the City is in the very early stages of
implementing this system, this enterprise fund has no capital assets currently. The City also operates a
municipal liquor operation with some of the profits used to reduce the property tax levies required to
operate other city activities. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have been presented in
the discussion of the business -type activities.
The expenses exceeded revenues in the Water Fund and Sewer Fund during 2008 by $526,598. The
Water Fund and Sewer Fund expended $813,813 in infrastructure improvements in 2008 to accompany
the ongoing street improvement projects. These costs were not offset by the 2008 water rates and revenue
flow of the water utility. The debt service interest and depreciation amounts impact the net income
position of these funds.
The City's liquor operations ended the year with increases in net assets from operations, while the City's
cemetery operations saw a decrease in net assets. The Cemetery Fund sets its charges and fees at a level
to breakeven or have a slight increase. The City's Liquor Fund had operating net income of over
$441,000 and transferred $171,619 to other funds to reduce property taxes.
In 2007, the City started its Fiber Optics Project, which will run a fiber optic system to every premise in
the City to provide customers with phone, high-speed Internet, and cable television services as a
self-supporting system with competitive pricing which will act as an economic development tool for the
City. The project was still in the startup phase as of the year ended 2008.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund revenues for 2008 exceeded budget by $149,885 in total. Licenses and permits collected
were $325,244 higher than anticipated due to a hail storm that affected the City, causing the majority of
the homes and business to need permits for replacing damaged roofing and siding.
General Fund expenditures for 2008 were $614,969 less than budgeted. The cost reductions included an
unfilled position in general government, lower than anticipated legal fees, and less funds spent on
consulting engineering due to fewer new development and construction projects. In addition, there were
funds budgeted for equipment purchases, such as a new fire truck, that were not used because the
purchases were delayed until future years. These funds will be designated equipment purchases in the
future.

City of Monticello's Outstanding Debt
Total $ 47,132,196 $ 52,627,788 $ 27,352,097 $ 907,097 $ 74,484,293 $ 53,534,885
The City's total debt increased by $20,949,408 or approximately 39 percent during 2008.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 3.0 percent
of its taxable market value. The current debt limit is $37,306,764, which is significantly in excess of the
City's outstanding net general obligation debt of $16,645,000, which is subject to the limitation.
Additional information on the City's debt is located in Note 4 of the notes to basic financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
The City considered many factors when setting the fiscal year 2009 budget, rates, and fees that will be
charged in the business -type activities. With the City Council's decision to increase the previous year's
tax levy by $150,000, they used the electric utility franchise fee of 3 percent, which is expected to
generate $250,000 in revenue for streetlight improvements. Budgeted revenues for permits and charges
for services were reduced to reflect less new development activity taking place in 2009. Budgeted sewer
and water user fees were increased by 5 percent to be used to fund operational costs for their departments
that were previously covered by the General Fund. Finally, reserve funds of $509,643 from the debt
service funds and $150,000 from enterprise funds were included to balance the budget. The City's
property tax levy for 2009 will amount to $7,750,000, which is $150,000 more than 2008.

CITY OF MONTICELLO
Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet to the
Statement of Net Assets
Governmental Funds
as of December 31, 2008
Total fund balances — governmental funds $ 35,194,348
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not
reported as assets in governmental funds. These assets consist of:
Land
8,457,484
Construction in progress
33,451,897
Buildings
13,102,213
Furniture and equipment
335,393
Vehicles
2,042,324
Machinery and equipment
1,239,739
Improvements other than buildings
4,331,791
Infrastructure
36,783,454
Less accumulated depreciation
(25,075,318)
Some of the City's property taxes, special assessments, and notes receivable will be collected after
year-end, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current period's expenditures, and,
therefore, are reported as deferred revenue in the governmental funds. 16,606,838
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in governmental funds, but rather is recognized as an
expenditure when due. Accrued interest for general obligation bonds is included in the Statement of
Net Assets. (933,512)
Net other post -employment benefit obligations payable reported in the Statement of Net Assets do
not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as liabilities in governmental
funds until actually due. (53,680)
Long-term liabilities that pertain to governmental funds, including bonds payable, are not due and
payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities, both
current and long-term, are reported in the Statement of Net Assets:
Bonds payable (46,567,903)
Contract for deed payable (564,293)
Unamortized bond issuance costs 261,622
Unamortized bond premiums (213,640)
Compensated absences (294,337)
Total net assets — governmental activities $ 78,104,420

CITY OF MONTICELLO
' Reconciliation of the Statement of
Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
to the Statement of Activities
Governmental Activities
Year Ended December 31, 2008
Total net change in fund balances — governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
$ (3,710,555)
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the Statement of
Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation
expense. This is the amount by which capital assets changed:
Capital outlays 3,178,174
Depreciation expense (2,308,050)
A gain or loss on the disposal of capital assets, including the difference between the carrying value
and any related sale proceeds, is included in the change of net assets. However, only the sale
proceeds are included in the change in fund balances.
The governmental funds report bond proceeds as financing sources, while repayment of bond
principal is reported as an expenditure. In the Statement of Net Assets, however, issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the Statement of Activities:
Proceeds from bonds issued
Repayment of bond principal
Repayment of note principal
Repayment of contract for deed
Change in accrued interest payable
Deferred gain on bond refunding
Net amortization of bond issuance
Amortization of bond premium
Change in compensated absences
Net other post -employment benefit obligations payable reported in the Statement of Activities do
not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds until actually due.
Certain revenues (including delinquent taxes and special assessments) are included in the change in
net assets, but are excluded from the change in fund balances until they are available to liquidate
liabilities of the current period.

CITY OF MONTICELLO
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The financial statements of the City of Monticello, Minnesota (the City) have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to
governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The
significant accounting policies of the City are described as follows:
B. Reporting Entity
The accompanying financial statements include all funds, departments, agencies, boards, commissions,
and other organizations that comprise the City, along with any component units.
Component units are legally separate entities for which the City (primary government) is financially
accountable, or for which the exclusion of the component unit would render the financial statements of
the primary government misleading. The criteria used to determine if the primary government is
financially accountable for a component unit includes whether or not the primary government appoints
the voting majority of the potential component unit's governing body, is able to impose its will on the
potential component unit, is in a relationship of financial benefit or burden with the potential component
unit, or is fiscally depended upon by the potential component unit.
The Monticello Economic Development Authority (EDA) is fiscally dependent upon the City, and its
governing body consists of City Council members. Therefore, the EDA is included as a component unit
of the City. The EDA's financial data has been blended with that of the City (i.e. reported as though its
funds were funds of the City) and reported as a special revenue fund.
C. Government -Wide Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements (Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities) display
information about the reporting government as a whole. These statements include all of the financial
activities of the City. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support. The City's net assets are reported in three parts:
1) invested in capital assets, net of related debt; 2) restricted net assets; and 3) unrestricted net assets.
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. 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; 2) operating grants and contributions; and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special
assessments that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function
or segment. Taxes and other internally directed revenues are reported as general revenues.
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes and special
assessments are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
-23-
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Generally, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government -wide financial
statements. However, charges between functions for certain interfund services provided are not
eliminated, as that would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in those functions. The
City applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for which both restricted and
unrestricted resources are available. Depreciation expense is included in the direct expenses of each
function. Interest on long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is reported separately on the
Statement of Activities.
D. Fund Financial Statement Presentation
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Aggregated information for the remaining nonmajor funds are reported in single columns in the respective
fund financial statements.
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 City's enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The operating expenses for the
enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenues and expenses.
Governmental funds financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting transactions are
recorded in the following manner:
1. Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when it becomes measurable and available.
"Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Grants and similar items are recognized when
all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Major revenue that is susceptible to accrual includes property taxes, intergovernmental revenue,
charges for services, and interest earned on investments. 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. Major revenue that is not susceptible to accrual includes licenses
and permits, fees, and miscellaneous revenue. Such revenue is recorded only when received
because it is not measurable until collected.
2. Recording of Expenditures — Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred,
except for principal and interest on long-term debt and compensated absences, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are
reported as capital outlay expenditures in the governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt are
reported as other financing sources.
Proprietary funds financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting as described earlier in these notes.
Private sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989 are
generally followed in both the government -wide and proprietary funds financial statements to the extent
those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of GASB. Governments have the option of
following subsequent private sector guidance for their business -type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private sector guidance.
-24-
NOTE I — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Description of Funds
Each fund is accounted for as an independent entity
as follows:
Major Governmental Funds
A description of the funds included in this report is
General Fund — The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources except those required
to be accounted for in another fund.
Community Center Fund — The Community Center Fund accounts for the revenues and
expenditures related to the community center.
Capital Outlay Revolving Fund — The Capital Outlay Revolving Fund is used to account for the
revenues and expenditures related to capital outlay.
Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund — The EDA Fund is used to account for revenues
and expenditures related to the blended component unit.
Sanitary Sewer Access Fund — The Sanitary Sewer Access Fund is used to account for revenues and
expenditures related to sanitary sewer connections.
Debt Service Fund — Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for
and the payment of long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
Capital Projects Fund — The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be
used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by
proprietary funds).
Major Proprietary Funds
Water Fund — The Water Enterprise Fund is used to account for all activities necessary to provide
water services to the residents and businesses of the City.
Sewer Fund — The Sewer Enterprise Fund is used to account for all activities necessary to provide
sewer services to the residents and businesses of the City.
Liquor Fund — The Liquor Fund is used to account for the operations of the City's liquor store.
Cemetery Fund — The Cemetery Fund is used to account for the operation of City's cemetery.
Fiber Optics Fund — The Fiber Optics Fund is used to account for all activities necessary to provide
fiber optic services to the residents and businesses of the City.
E. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds that are combined and invested to the extent
available in savings accounts, certificates of deposit, U.S. government obligations, and other securities
authorized by state statutes. Earnings from investments are allocated to the respective funds on the basis
of applicable participation by each fund. Short-term highly liquid debt instruments (including
commercial paper, banker's acceptances, and U.S. treasury and agency obligations) purchased with a
remaining maturity of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Other investments are reported at
fair value.
-25-
NOTE I — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F. Receivables and Payables
Any outstanding balances between funds that are not lending or borrowing arrangements are reported as
"due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business -type activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances."
When necessary, the City utilizes an allowance for uncollectible accounts to value its receivables.
However, the City considers all of its current receivables to be collectible.
G. Notes Receivable
Notes receivable consist primarily of loans made by the City to area businesses for development or
redevelopment purposes. The terms and interest rates of the individual loans vary. The notes receivable
in the governmental funds are not offset by deferred revenue.
The City has one note receivable totaling $1,600,000 with another local government. This note has an
interest rate of 3.95 percent and will mature at various dates through January 2016. This note receivable
in the governmental funds is offset by deferred revenue.
H. Property Taxes
Property tax levies are set by the City Council each year, and are certified to Wright County for collection
in the following year. In Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all property taxes.
A portion of the property taxes levied is paid by the state of Minnesota through various tax credits, which
are included in intergovernmental revenue in the financial statements.
Wright County spreads all levies over taxable property. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are
recorded as receivables by the City on that date. Property taxes may be paid by taxpayers in two equal
installments on May 15 and October 15. Wright County provides tax settlements to cities and other
taxing districts several times throughout the year. Taxes which remain unpaid at December 31 are
classified as delinquent taxes receivable and are offset by deferred revenue in the governmental funds
financial statements.
Within the governmental funds financial statements, the City recognizes property tax revenue when it
becomes both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. The portion of
delinquent taxes not collected by the City in January is fully offset by deferred revenue because it is not
available to finance current expenditures. Deferred revenue in governmental activities is susceptible to
full accrual on the government -wide statements.
I. Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property
owners. These assessments are recorded as delinquent (levied, but unremitted) and deferred (certified,
but not yet levied) special assessments receivable, and are offset by deferred revenue in the governmental
fund financial statements.
J. Inventories
The inventories of the proprietary funds are stated at cost on the first -in, first -out basis.
-26-
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
K. Prepaid Items
Payments to vendors for services that will benefit future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid.
Prepaid items are accounted for using the consumption method.
L. Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is recorded in the governmental fund which purchased it at the lower of cost or
market. Fund balance is reserved in an amount equal to the land's carrying value as the related funds are
not available for appropriation.
M. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities
columns in the government -wide financial statements. Such assets are capitalized at historical cost, or
estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are
recorded as capital assets at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The City maintains
a threshold level of $5,000 or more for capitalizing capital assets. The cost of normal maintenance and
repairs that does not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives is not capitalized. The
City has elected to retroactively capitalize the infrastructure capital assets of its governmental activities.
Capital assets are recorded in the government -wide and proprietary funds financial statements, but are not
reported in the governmental funds financial statements. Interest incurred during the construction phase
of capital assets for business -type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Since
surplus assets are generally sold for an immaterial amount when declared as no longer needed for city
purposes, no salvage value is taken into consideration for depreciation purposes. Useful lives vary from
10 to 40 years for infrastructure; 5 to 20 years for vehicles, machinery, and furniture and equipment; 12 to
40 years for buildings; and 10 to 20 years for improvements other than buildings. Capital assets not being
depreciated include land and construction in progress.
N. Long -Term Liabilities
In the government -wide and proprietary funds financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts, if material, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond issuance costs, if material, are
also reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as
other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources
while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
-27-
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
O. Compensated Absences Payable
City employees earn vacation days based upon the number of completed years of service. The City
compensates employees for unused vacation upon termination of employment. Employees are entitled to
paid sick leave at various rates for each month of full-time service. Full-time employees who resign or
leave city employment voluntarily and in good standing, after giving proper notice, shall be compensated
for up to 50 days of unused sick leave under the following guidelines:
For union employees, one-fourth of the unused sick leave times the hourly rate at the time of giving
notice is paid. After five years of non-union employment, one-fourth of the unused sick leave times the
hourly rate at the time of giving notice is paid.
After 10 years of employment, all employees accrue one-half of the unused sick leave, times the hourly
rate at the time of giving notice.
Compensated absences payable are paid by the respective fund in which the employee is employed.
P. Budget
Budgets for the General Fund and certain special revenue funds are adopted on a basis consistent with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Reported budget amounts are
as originally adopted or as amended by City Council -approved supplemental appropriations and budget
transfers. No supplemental budget amendments were adopted during the year. Budget appropriations
lapse at year-end.
Q. 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; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City manages these various risks
of loss as follows:
The City participates in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) property and liability
insurance program, a joint self-insurance plan designed and administered by American Business Risk
Services and structured to operate through local insurance agents. Approximately 140 cities currently
participate in the program.
The City has the following coverage with LMCIT: a basic package of property, inland marine,
automotive physical damage and liability; comprehensive general liability; public officials errors and
omissions; umbrella liability; boiler and machinery; and workers' compensation.
The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT, which in turn pays the local agent's commission and pays
an administrative fee to American Business Risk Services. The remaining premium is split between
LMCIT and its reinsurers. The reinsurers in turn reimburse LMCIT for a corresponding share of each
loss.
A profit sharing agreement also provides for a return to LMCIT of a share of the reinsurers' portion of the
premium if the loss experience is favorable.
To protect against the possibility that LMCIT's share of the losses will exceed its share of the premium,
LMCIT also purchases aggregate reinsurance. The loss experience has been favorable the last three years
and the City has received a return of part of the premiums paid.
Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the
past three calendar years. There were no reductions in coverage from the prior year.
904-11!
I NOTE 1—
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
' R. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the City considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an
' original maturity from the time of purchase by the City of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The proprietary fund's equity in the government -wide cash and investment management pool is
considered to be cash equivalent.
S. Net Assets and Fund Balance
' Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities in the government -wide financial
statements. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt, consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or
' acquire the capital assets. Net assets are reported as restricted in the government -wide financial
statements when there are limitations imposed on their use through external restrictions imposed by
creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
In the governmental fund financial statements, reservations of fund balance represent those portions of
fund balance not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. Designated
M fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.

In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks
authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts and non-negotiable certificates of deposit.
-29-
NOTE 2 — CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits:
Custodial Credit Risk — In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the
City's deposits may be lost.
Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate surety
bond, or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not
covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes
treasury bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies; general obligations rated "A" or
better; revenue obligations rated "AA" or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that securities
pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in
an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned
or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The City has no additional deposit
policies addressing custodial credit risk.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $4,591,732 while the balance on the bank
records was $4,808,278. At December 31, 2008, all deposits were fully covered by federal depository
insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held by the City's agent in the City's name.
C. Investments
The City has the following investments at year-end:
Investments are subject to various risks, the following of which are considered the most significant:
Custodial Credit Risk — For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the
counterparty to an investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer) the City would not be able to
recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. The City does not have a formal investment policy addressing this risk, but typically limits its
exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments, or by the control of who holds the
securities.

Custodial Credit Risk — For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the
counterparty to an investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer) the City would not be able to
recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. The City does not have a formal investment policy addressing this risk, but typically limits its
exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments, or by the control of who holds the
securities.
-30-
NOTE 2 — CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Credit Risk — This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Minnesota Statutes limit the City's investments to direct obligations or obligations
guaranteed by the United States or its agencies; shares of investment companies registered under the
Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 that receive the highest credit rating, are rated in one of the
two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and all of the investments have a final
maturity of 13 months or less; general obligations rated "A" or better; revenue obligations rated "AA"
or better; general obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated "A" or better; bankers'
acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System; commercial
paper issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, rated of the highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less;
Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, domestic branch of
a foreign bank, or a United States insurance company, and with a credit quality in one of the top two
highest categories; repurchase or reverse purchase agreements and securities lending agreements with
financial institutions qualified as a "depository" by the government entity, with banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000; that are a
primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; or
certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers. The City does not have an investment policy that further
addresses credit risk.
Concentration Risk — This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City's
investment (considered 5 percent or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding U.S.
guaranteed investments (such as treasuries), investment pools, and mutual funds. The City does not
have an investment policy that addresses the duration of investment limits on the amount that it may
be invested in any one issuer. More than 5 percent of the City's investments are in Federal Home
Loan Association, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Farm Credit Bureau, and Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. These investments are 34 percent, 11 percent, 7 percent, and
16 percent, respectively, of the City's total investments.
Interest Rate Risk — This is the risk of potential variability in the fair value of fixed rate investments
resulting from changes in interest rates (the longer the period for which an interest rate is fixed, the
greater the risk). The City does not have an investment policy that addresses the duration of
investments.
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund (4M Fund) is a common law trust organized in
accordance with the Minnesota Joint Powers Act, which invests only in investment instruments allowable
under Minnesota Statutes. Its investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The 4M Fund does not have its own credit rating. MBIA, Inc., who administers the 4M Fund, holds an
organization credit rating of Aa2.

NOTE 5 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERF's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The
retiring member receives the higher of a step -rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual
formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of
average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. The
annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first
10 years of service and 1.7 percent for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is
2.7 percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for
each year of service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3 percent for each year of service.
For all PEPFF members and for PERF members hired prior to July 1, 1989 whose annuity is calculated
using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. Normal retirement
age is 55 for PEPFF members, and 65 for PERF Basic and Coordinated Plan members hired prior to
July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66 for
Coordinated Plan members hired on or after July 1, 1989. A reduced retirement annuity is also available
to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single -life annuity is a
lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree—no survivor annuity is payable. There are also
various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will be payable over joint lives.
Members may also leave their contributions in the fund upon termination of public service in order to
qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to
members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to
active plan participants. 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.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for PERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained on the web at mnpera.org;
by writing to PERA at Public Employees' Retirement Association, Retirement Systems of Minnesota
Building, 60 Empire Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55103-2088; or by calling (651) 296-7460 or

Minnesota Statute, Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes
are established and amended by the State Legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the
pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. PERF Basic and Coordinated Plan members
were required to contribute 9.1 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in
2008. PEPFF members were required to contribute 8.6 percent of their annual covered salary in 2008.
That rate will increase to 9.4 percent in 2009. The City was required to contribute the following
percentages of annual covered payroll in 2008: 11.78 percent for Basic Plan PERF members, 6.5 percent
for Coordinated Plan PERF members, and 12.9 percent for PEPFF members. Employer contribution rates
for the Coordinated Plan and PEPFF will increase to 6.75 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively, effective
January 1, 2009. The City's contributions for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were
$194,943, $178,303, and $161,068, respectively. The City's contributions were equal to the contractually
required contributions for each year as set by state statutes.

NOTE 6 — CITY OF MONTICELLO FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A. Plan Description
The City contributes to the City of Monticello Fire Relief Association (the Association), a single
employer retirement system that acts as a common investment manager and administrator for the City's
firefighters. All active members of the fire department are members of the Association. The Association
issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information. A copy of the report may be obtained at Monticello City Hall.
Upon approval by the Board of Trustees, lump sum retirement benefits are either paid or deferred as
follows:
1. Benefits accrue and vest to members based on $3,950 per year of active service in the fire
department and Association with 100 percent vesting at 20 years.
2. Members retiring with less than 10 years of service forfeit their accrued benefits.
3. Members who separate from service and have at least 10 years of active service and membership,
but are less than 50 years of age, are entitled to a deferred service pension payable upon reaching
the age of 50.
4. The Association also provides death benefits, whereby upon approval of application, the
beneficiaries of each deceased active member would receive $3,950 per year of service.
B. Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes § 69.772 sets the minimum contribution requirement for the City on an annual basis,
including state aid passed through the City. These statutes are established and amended by the State
Legislature. The Association is comprised of volunteers, and no member contribution is required.
C. Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligation
The City's annual pension cost and net pension obligation to the Association for the year ended
December 31, 2008 is as follows:
Annual required contribution $ 74,110
Interest on net pension obligation —
Adjustment to annual required contribution —
Annual pension cost 74,110
Less contribution made (74,110)
Increase (decrease) in net pension obligation
Net pension obligation — beginning of year —
Net pension obligation — end of year $
-38-
NOTE 6 — CITY OF MONTICELLO FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION (CONTINUED)
The annual required contribution for the current year was determined as part of the August 1, 2007
actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included:
(a) 5 percent investment rate of return and (b) age and service retirement was assumed to occur at the age
of 50. The assumptions did not include post-retirement benefit increases, which are funded by state
statute when granted. Three-year trend information for the pension plan is as follows:

NOTE 7 — OTHER POST -EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides post -employment insurance benefits to certain eligible employees through the City's
Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan, a single -employer defined benefit plan administered by
the City. All post -employment benefits are based on contractual agreements with employee groups.
These contractual agreements do not include any specific contribution or funding requirements. These
benefits are summarized as follows:
Post -Employment Insurance Benefits — All retirees of the City have the option under state law to
continue their medical insurance coverage through the City from the time of retirement until the
employee reaches the age of eligibility for Medicare. For members of all employee groups, the
retiree must pay the full premium to continue coverage for medical and dental insurance.
The City is legally required to include any retirees for whom it provides health insurance coverage in
the same insurance pool as its active employees, whether the premiums are paid by the City or the
retiree. Consequently, participating retirees are considered to receive a secondary benefit known as
an "implicit rate subsidy." This benefit relates to the assumption that the retiree is receiving a more
favorable premium rate than they would otherwise be able to obtain if purchasing insurance on their
own, due to being included in the same pool with the City's younger and statistically healthier active
employees.
B. Funding Policy
The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with additional
amounts to pre -fund benefits as determined annually by the City.
-39-
NOTE 7 — OTHER POST -EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (CONTINUED)
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City's annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on annual required contributions (ARC) of the
City, an amount determined on an actuarially determined basis in accordance with the parameters of
GASB Statement Nos. 43 and 45. The ARC represents a level funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis,
is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding
excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The following table shows the components of the City's
annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and the changes in the City's
net OPEB obligation to the plan:

OPEB Cost Contribution
Percentage of
Annual OPEB
Cost Contributed
Net OPEB
Obligation
January 1, 2008 $ 58,514 $ 4,834 8.3% $ 53,680
D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of January 1, 2008, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was zero percent funded. The
actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $809,459, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in
an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $809,459. The covered payroll (annual payroll of
active employees covered by the plan) was $2,751,614, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll
was 29.4 percent.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions
about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the
funded status of the plan and ARCs of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are
compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The Schedule of Funding
Progress immediately following the notes to basic financial statements presents multi-year trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative
to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed
to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
-40-
NOTE 7 — OTHER POST -EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (CONTINUED)
In the January 1, 2008 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included: a 4.0 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses)
based on the City's own investments; an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10.0 percent initially,
reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.0 percent after 10 years for medical insurance. The UAAL
is being amortized on a level dollar basis over a closed period. The remaining amortization period at
January 1, 2008 was 30 years.

NOTE 11— COMMITMENTS
' A. Construction Contracts
During fiscal 2008, the City awarded contracts for various construction and remodeling projects. The
City's commitment for uncompleted work on these contracts at December 31, 2008 is approximately
$1,300,000.
B. Legal Claims
The City has the usual and customary type of miscellaneous legal claims pending at year-end. Although
the lawsuits are not presently determinable, the City's management believes that the City will not incur
any material monetary loss resulting from these claims. No loss has been recorded on the City's financial
statements relating to these claims.
C. Potential Arbitrage Payable
The City has issued several bond issues that are subject to arbitrage regulations contained in the Tax
Reform Act of 1986. Typically, bond proceeds are invested until they are needed for construction
projects or cash flow. Arbitrage exists when interest earnings on these investments exceed the interest
cost of the related bonds. Any excess earnings must be paid to the Internal Revenue Service.
At December 31, 2008, the City did not perform calculations to determine if there is an arbitrage liability
on one of these issues. The City has not accrued an arbitrage rebate liability at December 31, 2008. The
City expects the liability, if any, to be immaterial.
NOTE 12 — PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
Adjustments to capital assets reflect a change in interpreting the amount of assets carried in construction
in progress that were either duplicated or not capitalized as capital assets in the year of project
completion.

CITY OF MONTICELLO
Notes to the Required Supplementary Information
December 31, 2008
Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
A. Prior to September 1, the city administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes
proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The City Council adopts the proposed
budget as amended and adjusted by the City Council and certifies the proposed property tax levy
to the county auditor according to Minnesota Statutes.
B. Public hearings are conducted at the City Council's chambers in the Municipal Building.
C. On or before December 28, the final budget is legally enacted by City Council resolutions and the
final property tax levy is certified to the county auditor.
D. Management is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within a fund;
however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City
Council.
E. The City has legally adopted budgets for the General Fund, certain special revenue funds, and the
Debt Service Fund. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the total
fund level. Monitoring of budgets is maintained at the expenditure category level (i.e. personal
services, supplies, charges for services, and capital outlay) within each program. All amounts
over budget have been approved by the City Council through the disbursement process. The City
is not legally required to adopt an annual budget for the Capital Projects Fund. Project -length
financial plans are adopted for the Capital Projects Fund.
F. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or amended by the City
Council. All annual appropriations lapse at year-end.
