INTRODUCTORY SECTION
Letter of Transmittal CITY OF MONTICELLO
Finance Department
May 22, 2019
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and the Citizens of the
City of Monticello:
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) of the City of Monticello, Minnesota (the city) for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests
with the city. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is
accurate, in all material respects, and is reported in a manner designed to
present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various
funds of the city. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an
understanding of the city’s financial activities have been included.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability
of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive
framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because
the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the
objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the
financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The city’s financial statements have been audited by Malloy, Montague,
Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A. (MMKR), a firm of licensed certified public
accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the city for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018 are free of material misstatements. The independent audit
involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded,
based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
unmodified opinion that the city’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
The preparation of this CAFR is a requirement of state law. Also, the CAFR is
required by the bond rating agencies before they will rate the city’s bonds. The
report can be used by the city council and the citizens of the city to gain a
better understanding of the financial condition of the city.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and
analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is
designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
The city’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the auditors.
PROFILE OF THE CITY
The city is situated in a prime location on Interstate 94 between the cities of
Minneapolis/St. Paul and St. Cloud. The city has experienced remarkable
growth within the last 15 years in the residential, commercial, office, and retail
sectors. The city is a freestanding urban fringe community encompassing
approximately 5,000 acres and a population of 13,553. The city is home to
one of Minnesota’s two nuclear power plants, both owned by Xcel Energy, Inc.
(NYSE: XEL). With a small carbon footprint, the Xcel plant is also the city’s
largest employer and property taxpayer. Additionally, Monticello’s business
friendly environment provides a home for Cargill Kitchen Solutions. The
privately-owned, agri-giant is the city’s largest customer of water and sewage
utility services.
The city was founded by second-generation Americans who migrated west in
the mid-1800s. Early settlers found the gently sloping banks and shallow
levels of the Mississippi River made a logical place for a river crossing.
Incorporated in 1856, the city grew quickly during the early settlement years
and then leveled to a population of about 1,300. It was this original settlement
that became the core city and survives today as downtown Monticello.
The city is categorized as a 501(a) entity by IRS Code and operates under the
“Optional Plan A” form of government as defined in Minnesota Statutes. Under
this plan, the government of the city is directed by a city council composed of
an elected mayor and four elected city council members. The city council
exercises legislative authority and determines all matters of policy. The city
council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all
1
Letter of Transmittal CITY OF MONTICELLO
affairs relating to the city. Council members serve four-year terms, with two
members elected every two years. The mayor is elected for a two-year term.
The mayor and members of the city council are elected at large.
The city provides a full range of services: the construction and maintenance
of streets and other infrastructure; snow removal; park and cemetery
maintenance; recreational and cultural activities; water, sewer, surface water,
residential garbage, and recycling systems; community development, building
inspection, planning, police, fire, liquor store, and deputy registrar operations;
a city-run fiber optic system and community center; and general government
operations, including administration, finance/accounting, information systems,
community information, and general government buildings.
The city council is required to adopt a final budget by late December for the
subsequent year. The budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g. public works),
and department (e.g. streets and alleys). Transfers of appropriations between
funds require the approval of the city council. The legal level of budgetary
control is the department level in the General Fund and fund level in all other
funds. Budget amendments require city council approval.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY
The city is recovering slowly from recent economic woes that have affected
other communities in Wright County and throughout the state of Minnesota.
The nuclear power plant provides the city with a relatively stable tax and
employment base. During the economic downturn, new commercial
development came to a virtual standstill and growth remains anemic today.
However, the city lost very few of its local businesses, although some reduced
their workforce and scaled back operations. The residential growth has slowed
from a decade ago, but the city has not been hit with a large number of
foreclosed homes.
In the past, the state of Minnesota has reduced local government aid (LGA)
and the market value homestead credit (MVHC) to cities and counties as a
way to balance its own budget. Since the city does not receive LGA, the city’s
finances are relatively insulated from the state’s budget impacts. In 2012, the
state eliminated the MVHC and replaced it with a Market Value Exclusion
program, which the city incorporated into its 2018 budget. The new program
shifted more of the tax burden to nonresidential property taxpayers.
The economy and housing market has also affected city revenues for building
permits. The city issued 879 building permits in 2009 with a total valuation of
$45,917,000. In 2018, the city issued 855 permits with a total valuation of
$33,125,788. New residential infrastructure construction will need to occur to
support the same level of residential building permits in the future.
Fortunately, the city does not rely on the state as a major funding source
(LGA). In addition, the city has budgeted conservatively over the years,
resulting in very modest growth in the property tax levy. To assist external
stakeholders, the city is exploring various ways to better represent its financial
position, such as the elimination of all interfund loans/receivables in 2012.
Other initiatives include consolidating funds with similar purposes, distributing
unallocated expenses and aggregating similar costs for distribution as single
amounts to each budget unit. Further, staff continues to refine the chart of
accounts with the goal of providing better information to decision makers.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The city has three major ongoing initiatives in 2018. The first ongoing initiative
is the revitalization of its historic downtown. The downtown is the oldest part
of the city, and many buildings are in need of maintenance or demolition. In
addition, the amount of traffic on State Highway 25 and County Road 75
makes both vehicle and pedestrian traffic difficult to move from one area of
the downtown to another. Because of these issues, a number of the store
fronts are unoccupied. To address these issues, the city completed an
Embracing Downtown Monticello initiative with the goal to identify needed
improvements and enhancements, which will once again make the downtown
area a vibrant shopping and resident destination. This initiative was
2
Letter of Transmittal CITY OF MONTICELLO
supplemented with a 2017 Downtown Small Area Plan. A number of property
acquisitions took place in 2018 to support this initiative. The challenge moving
forward will be the implementation of the plan and creating development
opportunities within the downtown area for new and existing businesses.
The second ongoing initiative is the joint operation with Wright County of
Bertram Chain of Lakes properties. The city and Wright County completed the
final land purchases in 2016. This 1,258-acre site includes four pristine lakes
and woodlands, which, when developed, will become a regional park. Wright
County and the city obtained matching grants from the state to purchase much
of the acreage in the park. Planning and design took place in 2018 in order to
begin phase 1 of park improvements in 2019.
Finally, a pending Trunk Highway Transportation study will provide context for
the last major initiative of improving regional transportation corridors. The city
is part of a joint powers agreement, which also includes the cities of Becker
and Big Lake, the counties of Wright and Sherburne, Becker and Big Lake
Townships, and MnDot (Minnesota Department of Transportation) District 3.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The management of the city is responsible for establishing and maintaining a
system of internal controls designed to ensure that the assets of the city are
protected from loss, theft, or misuse and that adequate accounting data is
compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
city’s internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute
assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that: 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived, and 2) the valuation of cost and benefit requires
estimates and judgments by management. The city’s internal controls are
subject to periodic evaluation by management and the finance department
staff of the city.
BUDGETING CONTROLS
In addition, the city maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these
budgetary controls is to assure compliance with legal provisions embodied in
the annual appropriated budget approved by the city council. Activities of the
General Fund are included in the annual appropriated budget. The level of
budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally
exceed the appropriated amount) is established by department within the
General Fund. The city council also adopts a five-year Capital Improvement
Program as a financial planning document for major purchases. As
demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial
section of this report, the city continues to meet its responsibility for sound
financial management.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting to the city for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2017. This was the ninth year that the city has achieved this prestigious
award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the city had to
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must
satisfy both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe
that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for the award.
The 2018 CAFR meets the highest professional standards and was prepared
in a timely and cost-effective manner. The preparation of this report would not
have been possible without the efficient and dedicated service of the entire
staff of the finance department and through the helpful guidance and
assistance from our auditing firm, MMKR. We wish to express our appreciation
to all members of the department who assisted and contributed to the
preparation of this report. Credit also must be given to the mayor and city
council for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of
professionalism in the management of the city’s finances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the City Council and Management
City of Monticello, 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 Monticello, Minnesota (the City)
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, 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 performing 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 accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
OPINIONS
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2018, and the
(continued)
7
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.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER
As described in Note 14 of the notes to basic financial statements, the City
has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits Other Than Pensions, during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
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 information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
GASB, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures
to the 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
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the
financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules, 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 combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are
the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
them.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued
our report dated May 22, 2019 on our consideration of the City’s internal
control over financial reporting and on our tests of its 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 SECTION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis CITY OF MONTICELLO
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Monticello, Minnesota (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, 2018. We
encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction
with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal,
which can be found on pages 1-3 of this report.
Overview of the Basic Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are 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 private sector businesses.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the city’s assets
and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the city is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the city’s net
position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position
are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses
are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows
in future fiscal periods (delinquent taxes and special assessments).
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, sanitation, transit, recreation and
culture, economic development, and interest and fiscal charges. Business-type
activities include water, sewage, liquor, fiber optics, and deputy registrar
enterprises.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the city itself (known
as the primary government), but also the Economic Development Authority
(often referred to as the EDA). The EDA is a legally separate entity which
functions, in essence, as a department of the city, to provide redevelopment and
other economic development assistance through the administration of various
programs. Therefore, the EDA has been included as an integral part of the city’s
financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 19-21 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 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 fund financial statements focus on near-

term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as the 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 funds Balance Sheet and
Statement of Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
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,
EDA (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 special revenue
funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided within the required
supplementary information for the General Fund and major special revenue
funds to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budgets.
The governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 22-25 of
this report.
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 maintains
five enterprise funds which are used to account for its water and sewage
services, municipal liquor store sales, fiber optics network, and deputy registrar,
which provides vehicle and other licensing services. Internal service funds are
an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the city’s various functions. The city uses internal service funds to account for
benefits accruals, central equipment services, and information technology (IT)
services. Because these internal service fund activities predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included
within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide
financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial
statements provide separate information for each of the enterprise operations.
The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation
in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal
service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-31 of this
report.
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.
The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 32-56 of this
report.
Other Information – In addition to the basic financial statements and
accompanying notes, this report presents required supplementary information
on activity related to the defined benefit pension plans and the other post-
employment benefits (OPEB) plan as well as budgetary comparison
information. Combining statements for nonmajor governmental funds, internal
service funds, and other supplementary schedules including activities of the
General, nonmajor Special Revenue, Economic Development Authority, and
Debt Service funds, can also be found in the combining and individual fund

Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the city exceeded its liabilities
and deferred inflows of resources at year-end by $129,101,332 (net position).
Of this amount, $36,684,053 (unrestricted net position) 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 $30,170,552, a decrease of $1,716,570, or
5.4 percent. Nonspendable, restricted, and assigned uses of fund balance
totaled $23,185,724, leaving an unassigned fund balance of $6,984,828, which
is $66,604, or 1.0 percent, higher than the 2017 ending unassigned balance.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General
Fund was $6,984,828, or 88 percent, of total General Fund expenditures for
2018. The city targets 75 percent of next year’s expenditure budget as the
optimum fund balance level, providing a reserve for cash flow during the first six
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 state auditor recommends that local governments maintain an unrestricted
fund balance of approximately 35–50 percent of operating revenues or no less
than five months of operating expenditures for the General Fund. The General
Fund’s heavy dependence on property tax revenues validates the 75 percent
target. What is more, this reserve threshold provides temporary financing for
unforeseen emergencies. (Source: Minnesota Office of the State Auditor: Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, based on
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, 2010–
1003 Revised July 2012).
In 2018, government-wide capital assets increased by $4,917,007 due to
acquisitions exceeding disposals and depreciation on existing assets.
Governmental activities right-of-way acquisitions and construction of the Fallon
Avenue Overpass occurred in 2018. The city began the Chelsea Road Utility
and Street Improvement project; utility improvements were completed in 2018,
but street improvements will be completed in 2019. The city also completed the
2017 Street Reconstruction project, and constructed three park structures.
Other acquisitions include a developer donation of infrastructure in the
Featherstone Third addition, intersection upgrades at County Rd 39 & Gillard
Avenue, fire rescue boat, water fund truck, sewer fund vactor truck, and liquor
store advertising sign. Internal service funds acquisitions include a new
telephone system, an upgrade in electronic document storage, one new vehicle,
three new utility tractors, a street sweeper, a compaction roller, and a milling
machine.
The city’s total long-term bonded indebtedness increased by $2,314,598, or 8.9
percent, in 2018. Principal payments made on outstanding debt totaled
$2,692,149. The city issued $5,000,000 in tax abatement general obligations
bonds to finance capital project costs related to the Fallon Avenue overpass and
$6,747 in a Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) loan for wastewater
treatment plant improvements in 2018. The 2018A general obligation bonds are
accounted for in the Debt Service Fund and will be paid from special
assessments and property taxes. The PFA loan is accounted for in the Sewage
Fund and utility customer charges will generate the cash needed for repayment
of this debt.

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Total
By the far the largest portion of the city’s net position (64%) reflects investment
in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, structures, systems, machinery,
equipment, infrastructure, and intangible assets), net of any related debt used
to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The city uses assets to provide
services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. Although the city’s investment in capital assets is reported net of
related debt, it should be noted that resources needed to repay this debt must
be provided from other sources since capital assets themselves cannot be used
to liquidate these liabilities.
A small portion of the city’s net position (7%) represents resources that are
subject to external restrictions on how they can be used. The remaining
unrestricted net position of $36,684,053 may be used to meet the ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors. Of the unrestricted net position,
$13,261,505 (36%) is attributable to business-type activities.
The unrestricted governmental activities net position increased $2,523,438
(12%), and business-type activities unrestricted net position increased
$1,356,447 (11%). The government-wide total unrestricted net position
increased $3,879,885 (12%), reflecting revenues exceeding conservative
budgeted estimates and expenditures below liberal estimates.
The $5,893,980 (10%) increase in governmental activities capital assets is
reflective of capital asset purchases and reinvestment, including the Fallon
Avenue overpass construction, exceeding depreciation and disposals.
Business-type capital assets decreased $976,973 (2%) due to depreciation
exceeding investment in improvements.
Net investment in capital assets, which is capital assets less related debt,
increased because capital asset acquisitions less the amount of debt borrowed
to acquire assets exceeded capital asset disposals and depreciation.

Governmental Activities. The most significant revenue source for
governmental activities is property taxes at 59% of total revenues. Property
taxes support the General Fund, Community Center Fund, Economic
Development Authority Fund, Capital Project Fund, and Debt Service Fund.
Charges for services accounts for 18% of revenues, with about half generated
by the Community Center. Capital grants and contributions include special
assessments and revenues from other sources restricted to capital asset
acquisition. Investment earnings include both interest received and the increase
(decrease) in the investment fair values. Tax increments are property taxes
collected in tax increment financing districts and are restricted for development
purposes.
Governmental activities revenues increased $444,358 (3%) in the current year,
with the most significant portions of the increase attributable to an increase in
2018 property taxes. Charges for services increased $46,518 (2%) with an
increase in garbage rates offset by a decrease in building permits. Property
taxes increased by $411,684 (4%) percent. Capital grants and contributions
were affected by developer-donated public improvements in the Featherstone
Third addition.
Public works (engineering, streets, ice and snow removal, shop and garage,
street lighting, etc.) expenses are the most significant (36%), followed by
recreation and culture (22%), public safety (15%), general government (11%),
economic development (8%), sanitation (4%), and others (4%). Included in
these amounts is depreciation expense, which is 27% of the total expenses for
governmental activities.
Governmental activities expenses increased $1,158,097 (8%) in the current
year. The most significant changes in program expenses were as follows:
Economic development expenses increased $717,687 (147%) with a jump
in redevelopment expenses in 2018 for payments to tenants for relocation
costs and other expenses related to property acquisitions.
Public works increased $255,456 (5%) due to an increase in depreciation,
which was caused by the first year of depreciation on assets put in service
at the end of 2017. The replacement of a public works director after the
position was held vacant for a number of years also contributed to the
increase.
Public safety increased $168,690 (8%) with inflation and a July increase in
contracted police hours along with the hiring of a fire marshal
position/emergency management coordinator.
Interest and fiscal charges increased $102,786 (20%) with the first year of
payments on the 2017A bonds.

Business-type Activities. Business-type activities increased the city’s net
position by $741,845, which is $1,041,298 less than the prior fiscal year
increase in business-type net position.
The change is mostly attributable to significantly higher transfers out (roughly
$1.5 million) to other funds for current and future capital asset purchases. This
increase in transfers out was offset by higher capital contribution revenue due
to public improvements donated by a developer in the Featherstone Third
addition.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
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, spendable fund balances may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for expenditure at the end
of the fiscal year.
At December 31, 2018, the city’s governmental funds reported total ending fund
balances of $30,170,552, a decrease of $1,716,570 (5%) when compared with
the prior year. Approximately 19% or $5,867,997 of the total ending fund
balances constituted restricted fund balances, which are considered unavailable
for appropriation for general operations. The $172,264 nonspendable fund
balance accounted for 0.6% of total governmental fund balances and is
comprised of prepaid items.
At the end of the fiscal year, the General Fund reported a fund balance of
$7,109,478, increasing $80,385 (1%) from the prior year. General fund
revenues were $196,448 (2%) more than the prior fiscal year and expenditures
increased by $481,711 (6%). Transfers out increased by $400,000.
General government expenditures increased $33,841 (2%) with most of the
increase related to employee costs. Public safety expenditures increased
$175,725 (8%) with inflation and increased hours to the Wright County law
enforcement contract as well as a new fire marshal/emergency management
coordinator position beginning in the last quarter of the year. Public works
administration and ice & snow were largely responsible for the $174,700 (9%)
increase in public works expenditures due to the hiring of a public works director
and an unusually snowy spring in 2018. Recreation and culture expenditures
increased by $81,045 (7%) primarily caused by increased employee costs and
the creation of an arts initiative program.
15
Management’s Discussion and Analysis CITY OF MONTICELLO
The fund balance in the Community Center Fund increased $26,282 (5%) to
$606,795. However, an additional $190,984 will be used for the remainder of
the HVAC upgrade project to be completed in 2019. Charges for services
increased $81,738 (6%) to $1,449,452 in 2018, and miscellaneous revenues
increased $39,371(107%) in 2018 in the form of donations for the building
upgrades. Expenditures decreased $73,212 (4%) to $1,894,583 due to timing
of building improvements with a large portion of a budgeted 2018 project taking
place in 2019.
The fund balance in Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund decreased
$227,640 (3%) to $7,240,465. The assigned fund balance, which is available for
general EDA activity, equaled $4,634,992 at year end. Land held for resale
increased by $611,185 (27%) with the acquisition of four properties. Four
parcels decreased in value so there was an adjustment to the carrying value.
The EDA received $323,186 in property tax revenue and $638,278 in tax
increments in 2018. At year end, the restricted $2,603,090 portion of the fund
balance is attributable to tax increment districts and loan programs.
The fund balance in the Debt Service Fund decreased $409,436 (15%) to
$2,391,544. This planned fund balance decrease reflects prior year
accumulation of resources to make scheduled bond payments. Special
assessment revenue decreased $304,835 (48%) to $327,111, which is related
to a large number of prepaid assessments in 2017. In governmental funds,
assessments are recorded as a revenue when collectible, which occurs when it
is in the current period or soon thereafter.
The Capital Projects Fund provides the accounting for acquisition of general
government capital assets. Accordingly, the fund accumulates resources from
various sources and expenditures may or may not occur in the same year of
accumulation. Consequently, the fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund
decreased $946,008 (11%) to $7,527,500. Proceeds from the 2018A
$5,000,000 tax abatement general obligation bond issue are accounted for in
this fund and used to finance the Fallon Avenue Overpass project. The $5,000
transfer to the Debt Service Fund was used to initiate a new sub-fund for the
2018A bonds.
Proprietary funds. The proprietary funds provide the same type of information
found in the business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail.
Water Fund expenses increased $78,247 (7%) with higher utilities and repairs
costs. Utility employee personal service costs are divided between the Water
Fund and Sewage Fund based on activity. The Water Fund operating revenues
increased $16,753 (1%) with higher rates partially offset by lower consumption.
The fund’s net position decreased $23,844 (0.2%), excluding the change in
accounting standard, to $14,782,772. Depreciation expense for the fund totaled
$519,200.
Sewage Fund expenses increased $213,872 (8%) and operating revenues
increased $109,059 (4%). The 2018 capital contributions of $599,555 included
a $84,386 donation of Featherstone Third addition infrastructure from a
developer in additional to sewer access charges. The fund’s net position
increased $690,471 (3%), excluding the change in accounting standard, to
$22,110,771. Depreciation expense for the fund totaled $1,183,540.
The Liquor Fund’s net position increased $180,353 (11%), excluding the change
in accounting standard, to $1,776,378. Liquor and related product sales
increased $335,096 (6%) to $6,086,293, exceeding the $6 million threshold for
the first time. Gross profit increased $18,365 (1%) to $1,539,546, which is lower
than the sales increase because of the reclassification of freight costs to cost of
sales. The Liquor Fund transferred $130,000 to the Fiber Optics Fund and
$400,000 to the Park & Pathway Dedication (nonmajor) fund in 2018. Operating
expenses decreased $26,197 (3%) to $854,218 with the reclassification of
freight costs, and depreciation expense for the fund totaled $28,893.
The Fiber Optics Fund’s net position decreased $407,106 (3%) to $12,643,701.
The fund’s 2018 charges for services decreased $15,364 (1%) to $1,734,876.
Excluding depreciation, the operating loss increased from $82,234 to $141,524
in 2018. Depreciation expense for the fund totaled $398,798. The city
contracted for FiberNet operations management starting July 1, 2016.
The Deputy Registrar Fund (DMV) net position increased $279,597 (33%),
excluding the change in accounting standard, to $1,102,672. Charges for
services increased $97,516 (16%) to $692,217 and operating expenses
increased $31,629 (8%) to $429,683. Depreciation for the fund totaled $4,405.
In 2017, the DMV transitioned to the new Minnesota’s Licensing and Vehicle
Registration System (MNLARS) increasing personnel costs. The DMV
processed 119,543 transactions, a 52% increase over the prior year. The sharp
increase in transactions reflects both the increase in licensing activity and the
multiple ways some transactions are counted by the new licensing system.
Other factors of the changes in income from operations have previously been
discussed in the government-wide financial analysis of business-type activities.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During the year, there were no amendments to the budget. General Fund
revenues and other financing sources totaled $8,704,793 and exceeded budget
by 417,793 (5%). Charges for services and licenses and permits were $111,064
(28%) and $105,714 (27%) higher than budget, respectively. Charges for
services include fire fees, garbage charges to residential properties, and
administrative staff time billed to planning and zoning applicants. Licenses and
permits, which includes building permits, exceeded estimated revenue. Some
revenues can be difficult to predict, and are, therefore, budgeted conservatively.
General Fund expenditures totaled $7,924,408 and were $362,592 (4%) less
than budget. Other financing uses consisted of unbudgeted transfers out of
$700,000. With a partial year position vacancy, low fuel costs, and savings in
hiring an engineer internally, public works was $290,100 (12%) less than
budget. One function exceeded budget (recreation and culture). Within the
functions, eleven of thirty-four reporting units exceeded budget.
The General Fund year end fund balances since 2011 are as follows:

obligation bonds, certificates of indebtedness, special assessment bonds, tax
abatement bonds, and a public facilities authority loan, totaled $28,233,000 at

wastewater plant improvements. All other changes are the result of scheduled
payments.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:

Deferred outflows of resources - pensions 549,725
Deferred inflows of resources - pensions (727,897) (168,745)
Long-term liabilties 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 Position.
Bonds payable (23,750,000)$
Unamortized bond discounts 13,729

benefit accrual services to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in
governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position.
Internal service fund net position included in the governmental activities 1,560,005$
Less internal services net position allocated to to business-type activities (95,422) 1,464,583
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 current period expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows
of resources in the governmental funds. 4,966,533
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 Position. (75,337)

CITY OF MONTICELLO
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, 2018
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Net change in fund balances - governmental funds (1,716,570)$
Governmental funds reported capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost
of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.
Capital outlays 9,580,224$
Capital contributions 323,130
Depreciation (4,024,293) 5,879,061
Proceeds from long-term debt provide financial resources to governmental funds, but the issuing of debt
increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. (5,000,000)
Repayment of long-term debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces
long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. 2,285,000
Some expenses reported 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.
Amortization of bond discounts (2,600)$

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the city of Monticello, Minnesota (the city) have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles (GAAP) generally
accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental units, as
applied by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). 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:
A. Reporting entity
Incorporated in 1856, the city of Monticello is designated as a third-class city
(population 10,001 to 20,000) and governed by statutory city code under
Optional Plan A in Minnesota statutes. The city falls under section 501(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The five-member mayor-council is elected on
staggered, even-numbered years. Councilors are elected at-large to four-year
terms while the mayor is elected to a two-year term. The governing body
appoints an administrator to implement policies and oversee daily operations.
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. 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) was created pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes § 469.090 through § 469.108 to carryout economic and
industrial development and redevelopment within the city in accordance with
policies established by the City Council. The seven-member Board of Directors
consists of two councilmembers and five members from the community
appointed by the City Council. The City Council reviews and approves the tax
levy and all expenditures for the EDA. Therefore, the EDA is reported as a
blended component unit within the EDA Special Revenue Fund. Separate
financial statements are not issued for this component unit.
The mayor and council are responsible for appointing some members of other
organizations. However, the city’s accountability for these organizations does
not extend beyond making appointments.
B. Government-wide and fund financial statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position
and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the
primary government and its component unit. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported
separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on
fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct
expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. 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
operation or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and
other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead
as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and
proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual
enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements. Aggregated information for the remaining nonmajor funds are
reported in single columns in the respective fund financial statements.
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 expense of each function. Interest on long-term debt of
governmental activities is considered an indirect expense and is reported
separately on the Statement of Activities.
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement
presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the
proprietary fund financial statements. 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, if levied, are
recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
32
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered available when they are collectible with the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this
purpose, the city considers revenue to be available if they are collected within
60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However,
debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to claims and
judgments, compensated absences, other post-employment benefits, and net
pension liabilities, are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have
matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as capital outlay expenditures
in the governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt are reported as other
financing sources.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and investment interest associated
with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and
have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue
items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received
by the city.
Since governmental fund statements are presented using a measurement focus
and basis of accounting different from that used in the government-wide
statements’ governmental column, a reconciliation is presented that briefly
explains the adjustments necessary to reconcile ending net position and the
change in net position.
In the fund financial statements, financial transactions and accounts of the city
are organized on the basis of funds. The operation of each fund is considered
to be an independent fiscal and separate accounting entity, with a self-balancing
set of accounts recording cash and/or other financial resources together with all
related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein, which
are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining
certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restriction, or
limitations.
Major Governmental Funds – The major governmental funds reported by the
city are as follows:
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 (special revenue) Fund
accounts for the revenues and expenditures related to the community
center. In addition to a property tax allocation, the community center
generates significant revenue from charges for memberships, program
activities, and space rentals.
Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund – The EDA (special revenue)
Fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures related to the
blended component unit. Tax increments, generated mainly by economic
and redevelopment districts, and a property tax levy are the EDA’s primary
revenue sources.
Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund is 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 – The city reports the following 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.
Sewage Fund – The Sewage (enterprise) Fund is used to account for all
activities necessary to provide sewage services to the residents and
businesses of the city.
Liquor Fund – The Liquor (enterprise) Fund is used to account for the
operations of the city’s liquor store.
Fiber Optics Fund – The Fiber Optics (enterprise) Fund is used to account
for all activities necessary to provide fiber optic services to the residents
and businesses of the city.
Deputy Registrar Fund – The Deputy Registrar (enterprise) Fund is used to
account for the operation of city’s department of motor vehicles.
33
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
Additionally, the city reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Funds – These funds account for the city’s benefit accrual,
central equipment, and information technology services. Internal service
funds operate in a manner similar to enterprise funds; however, they
provide services primarily to other city departments.
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 enterprise funds and various other functions of the
city. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues of the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or
applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and
contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special
assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues
rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes
the city has the authority to impose.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-
operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from
providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the city’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges to
customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise and
internal service funds include cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Aggregated information for the internal service funds is reported in a single
column in the proprietary fund financial statements. Because the principal user
of the internal services is the city’s governmental activities, the financial
statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental
column when presented in the government-wide financial statements. The cost
of these services is reported in the appropriate functional activity.
D. 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.
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.
Investments are generally stated at fair value, except for investments in external
investment pools, which are stated at amortized cost. 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. Investment income is accrued at the
balance sheet date.
The city categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the
fair value of the asset as follows:
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.
Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using
a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on
the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. See Note 2 for the city’s
recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2018.
E. 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.
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. Most
property taxes can be paid without penalty and interest 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.
Within the governmental fund financial statements, the city recognizes property
tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period. Taxes which remain unpaid at December 31
are classified as delinquent taxes receivable and are offset by deferred inflows
of resources because it is not available to finance current expenditures.
34
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
Deferred inflows of resources in governmental activities are susceptible to full
accrual on the government-wide financial statements.
F. Special Assessments
Special assessments are levied against the benefiting properties for the
assessable costs of special assessment improvement projects in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes. The city usually adopts assessment rolls when
individual public improvement projects are complete or substantially complete.
The assessments are collectible over a term of years generally consistent with
the term of years for 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.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel
is a lien upon that property until full payment is made or the amount is
determined to be excessive by the city council or court action. If special
assessments are left unpaid, the property is subject to tax forfeited sale and the
first proceeds of that sale (after costs, penalties, and expenses of sale) are
remitted to the city in payment of delinquent special assessments. Generally,
the city will collect the full amount of its special assessments not adjusted by
city council or court action. Pursuant to state statutes, a property shall be
subject to tax forfeit sale after three years of delinquency except for
homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal recreational property, which is subject to
sale after five years.
These assessments are recorded as delinquent (levied, but not yet paid) and
deferred (certified, but not yet levied) special assessments receivable, and are
offset by deferred inflows of resources in the governmental fund financial
statements. Unremitted special assessment amounts collected by Wright
County are recorded as unremitted special assessments.
G. Receivables
Utility and miscellaneous accounts receivable are reported at gross value. Since
the city is generally able to certify delinquent amounts to the county for collection
as special assessments, no allowance for uncollectible accounts has been
provided on current receivables.
The city contracted with a third party to manage Fibernet beginning on July 1,
2016. On a monthly basis, the city receives amounts billed by Arvig with an
estimated portion withheld for uncollectible account. Customer receivable
balances are carried by Arvig rather than the city. Therefore, no allowance for
uncollectible accounts is set up in the proprietary Fiber Optics Fund.
A receivable is considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is
outstanding for more than 30 days. Interest is charged on receivables that are
considered past due. Accrual of interest is not suspended until a receivable is
determined to be uncollectible. Provisions for bad debts would be insignificant
and none have been made for 2018.
Interest receivable is recorded as revenue in the year the interest is earned and
is available to pay liabilities of the current period. The interest receivable
balance is reported as one amount in the General Fund while all other funds
receive interest revenue distributions in cash.
H. Inventories
The inventories of the proprietary funds are stated at cost using the first-in, first-
out (FIFO) method. Enterprise fund inventory consists of merchandise held for
resale at the city-owned Hi-Way Liquors store.
I. 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. Fund balance in an amount equal to the prepaid balance in the related
funds is not available for appropriation, and is, therefore, classified as
nonspendable.
J. Notes Receivable
Notes receivable consist of loans made by the city to area businesses for
development or redevelopment purposes. The terms and interest rates of the
individual loans vary. Notes receivable are offset by deferred inflows of
resources in the governmental funds.
K. Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is recorded in the governmental fund which purchased it at
the lower of cost or acquisition value. Fund balances are reported as restricted
or assigned in an amount equal to the land’s carrying value is reported in the
governmental funds as these assets are not available for appropriation.
35
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
L. 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 capital assets are recorded at their estimated acquisition value at the
date of donation. The city’s capitalization policy divides each asset into a class
with a related threshold as follows:
Class of Asset Threshold Level
Land $1
Land improvements $50,000
Building/building improvements $20,000
Primary infrastructure and utility $75,000
Secondary infrastructure $25,000
Equipment $10,000
Software and non-tangible $10,000
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 fully capitalize the infrastructure capital assets of its governmental activities
regardless of their acquisition date or amount.
Capital assets are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund
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 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.
M. Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position
that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The city has two types of item,
which arise under a full accrual basis of accounting, that qualify for reporting in
this category. Accordingly, the items, deferred other post-employment benefits
resources and deferred pension resources, are reported only in the statement
of net position. These items result from other post-employment benefits and
pension-related actuarial calculations and current year contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date.
N. Long-Term Liabilities
In the government-wide and proprietary fund 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.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts during the current period. Premiums received on debt
issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. The face amount of debt issued
is reported as other financing sources. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
O. Compensated Absences Payable
City employees earn vacation and sick leave or paid-time-off (PTO) based upon
the number of completed years of service. The city compensates employees for
unused vacation/PTO upon termination of employment. All new full-time
employees receive PTO, while three employees still receive the sick leave
benefit. Full-time employees who resign or leave city employment voluntarily
and in good standing, after giving proper notice, shall be compensated for
unused days under their respective plan. PTO is credited at the beginning of
each fiscal year for existing employees and prorated for the fiscal year for new
employees. Sick leave is accrued by pay period.
PTO Benefit: Up to 320 hours accrued at year-end plus any current year hours
earned to their date of severance multiplied by their ending hourly rate.
Sick leave benefit: One-half of the unused sick leave times their hourly rate at
the time of severance.
36
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
All compensated absences are accrued when incurred in the government-wide
and proprietary fund financial statements. The liability for governmental funds is
recorded in the internal service Benefit Accrual Fund. Resignations and
retirements of employees reduce the liability in the Benefit Accrual Fund or the
applicable enterprise fund.
P. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of
resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of
the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and Monticello Fire Relief
(FRA) and additions to/deductions from each plan’s fiduciary net position have
been determined on the same basis as they are reported by each plan, except
that PERA’s fiscal year end in 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 General Fund or applicable
enterprise fund will be used to liquidate this liability.
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.
Q. Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and/or balance sheet will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position
that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The city has three types of items that qualify
for reporting in this category. First, deferred pension resources, which arises
under a full-accrual basis of accounting, is reported only in the statement of net
position. These amounts are the result of actuarial calculations involving net
differences between expected and actual economic experience, changes in
actuarial assumptions, net differences between projected and actuarial
earnings, and changes in proportion and are deferred and recognized as an
inflow of resources in accordance with actuarial calculations. Second, deferred
MSA state aid is reported. This amount is the result of an advance of state aid
allocated to future periods. Third, unavailable revenue, which arises under the
modified accrual basis of accounting, is reported in the governmental funds
balance sheet. Governmental funds report unavailable revenue from four
sources: property taxes, special assessments, notes receivable, and MSA state
aid and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period the amounts become available or are allocated to the
city.
R. Net Position
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position
represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources,
and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position is displayed in
three components:
Net investment in capital assets – Consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, reduced by any outstanding debt
attributable to acquire capital assets.
Restricted net position – Consists of net position restricted when
there are limitations imposed on their use through external restrictions
imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other
governments.
Unrestricted net position – All other net position that does not meet
the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted.”
S. Fund Balance Classifications
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in
classifications that disclose constraints for which amounts in those funds can be
spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable – Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form,
such as prepaid items, inventory, and other long-term assets.
Restricted – Consists of amounts related to externally imposed
constraints established by creditors, grantors, or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed – Consists of internally imposed constraints that are
established by resolution by the city council, which is the city’s highest
level of decision-making authority. Those committed amounts cannot
be used for any other purpose unless the city council modifies or
rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned – Consists of internally imposed constraints. These
constraints consist of amounts intended to be used by the city for
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as
37
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
restricted or committed. In governmental funds, assigned amounts
represent intended uses established by the governing body itself or by
an official to which the governing body delegates the authority.
Pursuant to city council resolution, the council, city administrator, or
finance director are authorized to establish assignments of fund
balance.
Unassigned – The residual classification for the General Fund which
also reflects negative residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
city’s policy to first use restricted resources, then use unrestricted resources as
they are needed. When committed, assigned, or unassigned resources are
available for use, it is the city’s policy to use resources in the following order: 1)
committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
T. Budget
Budgets for the General Fund and all 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. The legal level of budgetary control is
at the department level in the General Fund and at the fund level in the major
special revenue funds.
U. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses/expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
V. Future Applicable Changes in Accounting Standards
In November 2016 GASB issued Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement
Obligations. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for
certain asset retirement obligations (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable
liability associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset. A government
that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related to
its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance in
this Statement. This Statement establishes criteria for determining the timing
and pattern of recognition of a liability and a corresponding deferred outflow of
resources for AROs and requires that recognition occur when the liability is both
incurred and reasonably estimable. The determination of when the liability is
incurred should be based on the occurrence of external laws, regulations,
contracts, or court judgments, together with the occurrence of an internal event
that obligates a government to perform asset retirement activities. Laws and
regulations may require governments to take specific actions to retire certain
tangible capital assets at the end of the useful lives of those capital assets, such
as decommissioning nuclear reactors and dismantling and removing sewage
treatment plants. Other obligations to retire tangible capital assets may arise
from contracts or court judgments. Internal obligating events include the
occurrence of contamination, placing into operation a tangible capital asset that
is required to be retired, abandoning a tangible capital asset before it is placed
into operation, or acquiring a tangible capital asset that has an existing ARO.
This statement is effective for the city’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
In June 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases. This Statement
increases the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring
recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were
classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or
outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It
establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational
principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under
this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an
intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease
receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance
and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities. This
statement is effective for the city’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
In April 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to
Debt, Including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements. This Statement
defines debt for purposes of disclosure in notes to financial statements as a
liability that arises from a contractual obligation to pay cash (or other assets that
may be used in lieu of cash) in one or more payments to settle an amount that
is fixed at the date the contractual obligation is established. This Statement
requires that additional essential information related to debt be disclosed in
notes to financial statements, including unused lines of credit; assets pledged
as collateral for the debt; and terms specified in debt agreements related to
significant events of default with finance-related consequences, significant
termination events with finance-related consequences, and significant
subjective acceleration clauses. This statement is effective for the city’s fiscal
year ending December 31, 2019.
38
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
In June 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Costs
Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period. This Statement establishes
accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period. Such interest cost includes all interest that previously was
accounted for in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 5–22 of
Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance
Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements,
which are superseded by this Statement. This Statement requires that interest
cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an
expense in the period in which the cost is incurred for financial statements
prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a result,
interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included
in the historical cost of a capital asset reported in a business-type activity or
enterprise fund. This Statement also reiterates that in financial statements
prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus, interest cost
incurred before the end of a construction period should be recognized as an
expenditure on a basis consistent with governmental fund accounting principles.
This statement is effective for the city’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
In August 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interest – an
Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 61. This statement defines a
majority equity interest and specifies that a majority equity interest in a legally
separate organization should be reported as an investment if a government’s
holding of the equity interest meets the definition of an investment. A majority
equity interest that meets the definition of an investment should be measured
using the equity method, unless it is held by a special-purpose government
engaged only in fiduciary activities, a fiduciary fund, or an endowment (including
permanent and term endowments) or permanent fund. Those governments and
funds should measure the majority equity interest at fair value. For all other
holdings of a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization, a
government should report the legally separate organization as a component
unit, and the government or fund that holds the equity interest should report an
asset related to the majority equity interest using the equity method. This
Statement establishes that ownership of a majority equity interest in a legally
separate organization results in the government being financially accountable
for the legally separate organization and, therefore, the government should
report that organization as a component unit. This Statement also requires that
a component unit in which a government has a 100 percent equity interest
account for its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred
inflows of resources at acquisition value at the date the government acquired a
100 percent equity interest in the component unit. Transactions presented in
statements of the component unit in that circumstance should include only
transactions that occurred subsequent to the acquisition. This statement is
effective for the city’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
NOTE 2. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND INVESTMENTS
A. Components of Cash and Investments
Cash and investments at year-end consist of the following:
Deposits 12,956,548$
Investments 30,507,281
Cash on hand 8,165
Total cash and investments – Statement of Net Position 43,471,994$
B. Deposits
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.
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 fair value of collateral
pledged must equal 110% 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’s
investment policy does not provide further requirements regarding custodial
credit risk.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the city’s deposits was $12,956,548
while the balance on bank records was $13,698,219. All deposits were
covered by federal depository insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held
by the city’s agent in the city’s name.
39
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
C. Investments
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’s investment policy does not provide additional requirements
beyond state statutes, but the city typically limits its exposure by purchasing
insured or registered investments, or by the control of who holds the
securities.
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’s investment policy
does not further address credit risk.
Concentration Risk – This is the risk associated with investing a significant
portion of the city’s investment (5% or more) in the securities of a single
issuer, excluding U.S. guaranteed investments (such as treasuries),
investment pools, and mutual funds. The city’s investment policy requires
that no more than 5% of the overall portfolio may be invested in the
securities of a single issuer, except for the securities of the U.S. government
and in agencies or an external investment pool. More than 5% of the city’s
total investments are invested with the Federal Home Loan Bank. These
investments are 6.2% 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’s
investment policy does not further address 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. It is an
external investment pool regulated by Minnesota statutes and the Board of
Directors of the League of Minnesota Cities. The 4M Fund is not registered with
the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), but it follows the same regulatory
rules of the SEC. The fair value of the city’s position in the pool is the same as
the value of the pool shares. The 4M Fund does not have any restrictions on
participant withdrawals. The city’s investment in the 4M Fund is measured at the
net asset value per share provided by the pool, which is based on an amortized
cost method that approximates fair value.
The city’s cash management and investment policy complies with all statutory
requirements.
D. Cash on hand
Cash on hand consists of cash in the possession of the city, including petty
cash and change funds.

NOTE 5. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
A. Description
The city has the following types of long-term liabilities outstanding at December
31, 2018:
General Obligation Bonds – The one general obligation bond issue
financed a settlement with telecommunication revenue bondholders and
capital equipment purchases in the Central Equipment Fund.
General Obligation Certificates of Indebtedness – The city issued
general obligation certificates of indebtedness to provide financing for
capital equipment. Debt service is covered by general property taxes.
General obligation certificates of indebtedness are direct obligations
that pledge the full faith and credit of the city.
Special Assessment Bonds – These bonds are payable primarily
from special assessments levied on the properties benefiting from the
improvements funded by these issues. Any deficiencies in revenue to
fund these issues will be provided from general property taxes.
Tax Abatement Bonds – The principal balances on these bonds are
payable primarily from a special tax abatement levy, and interest is
paid from general property taxes.
General Obligation Revenue Bonds – The outstanding general
obligation revenue bond financed improvements to the city’s sewer
system. They will be repaid from revenues pledged and are backed by
the taxing power of the city. Net operating revenues were $2,581,833
and principal and interest payments were $244,798 for a percentage
of revenues of 9.48%.
PFA Loan – This loan was issued for improvements to the wastewater
treatment plant and is payable primarily from user fees which benefit
from the improvements.
Compensated Absences – The city provides vacation and sick or
paid-time-off (PTO) leave benefits to eligible employees. The liability
will be repaid by the Benefit Accrual fund or respective enterprise fund
for which each employee is employed.
Total OPEB Liability – The city provides post-employment benefits to
certain eligible employees through the city’s OPEB Plan. The liability
will be repaid based on a pay-as-you-go financing requirement from
the General fund or applicable enterprise fund.
Net Pension Liability –City employees participate in one state-wide,
multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) per Minnesota state
statute. The liability reflects the city’s portion of the total net pension
liability of the PERA plan based on a percentage of contributions into
the plan. Volunteer fire fighters participate in a single-employer defined
benefit plan administered by the Monticello Fire Relief Association
(FRA). The liability will be repaid by the General fund or applicable
enterprise fund.

D. Conduit Debt
The city has issued Senior Housing Refunding Revenue Bonds to provide financial
assistance to private sector entities for the acquisition and construction of senior
housing facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by
the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the
underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the
acquired facilities transfers to the private sector entity served by the bond
issuance. The city is not obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds.
Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements. As of December 31, 2018, there was one series of Senior Housing
Refunding Revenue Bonds and two series of Educational Facilities Revenue
Notes outstanding. The original issue of the Senior Housing Refunding Revenue
Bonds totaled $3,000,000 with an interest rate of 4.75%. The original issues of the
Educational Facilities Revenue Notes totaled $2,225,000 with an interest rate of
3.75%. These balances have reduced through annual payments and partial call
prepayments. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2018 is undetermined.
E. Pay-As-You-Go Tax Increment Notes
The city, in order to spur economic development and redevelopment, has entered
into private development and redevelopment agreements to encourage
developers to construct, expand, or improve new or existing properties and
buildings or clean-up and redevelop blighted areas. These agreements may in
substance be a tax abatement but will depend on their individual circumstances.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
The city is authorized to create a tax increment financing plan under Minnesota
Statute 469.175. The criteria that must be met under the statute are that, in the
opinion of the municipality:
the proposed development or redevelopment would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future; and
the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than
the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the plan.
The requirements of this item do not apply if the district is a housing
district;
that the tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole; and
that the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the
development or redevelopment of the project by private enterprise.
The city has development agreements with private developers for properties in the
city’s tax increment districts. As part of the agreements, the city has agreed to
reimburse the developers for certain costs through pay-as-you-go tax increment
notes.
These notes provide for the payment of principal equal to the developers’ costs,
plus interest at rates ranging from 5.0% to 8.5% (interest accrual commencing
upon the developer completing the project). Payments of the notes will be made
at the lesser of the scheduled note payments or the actual net tax increment
received during the period specified in the agreement. The notes, classified as
abatements, will be canceled at the end of the agreement term, whether it has
been fully repaid or not.
The outstanding principal balances as of December 31, 2018 are listed in the
previous table. These notes are not included in the city’s long-term debt, because
repayment is required only to the extent sufficient tax increments are received.
The city’s position is that this is an obligation to assign future and uncertain
revenue sources and is not actual debt in substance.
G. Arbitrage Rebate
In accordance with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, bonds must satisfy certain arbitrage rebate requirements.
Positive arbitrage is the excess of (1) the amount earned on investments
purchased with bond proceeds over (2) the amount that such investments would
have earned had such investments been invested at a rate equal to the yield on
the bond issue. In order to comply with the arbitrage rebates requirements,
positive arbitrage must be paid to the U.S. treasury at the end of each five-year
anniversary date of the bond issue. As of December 31, 2018, there are no
arbitrage rebates owed.
H. Revenue Pledged

Description
NOTE 6. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE
A. Plan Description
The city participates in the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF) cost-
sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA’s
defined benefit pension plans are established and administered in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined benefit
pension plans are tax qualified plans under Section 401 (a) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
General Employees Retirement Fund (General Employees Plan)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the city are covered by the
General Employees Plan. General Employees Plan members belong to the
Coordinated Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security.
46
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are
established by state statute and can only be modified by the state legislature.
Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving
them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their
public service.
General Employees Plan Benefits
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 Plan members.
Members hired prior to July 1, 1989, receive the higher of Method 1 or Method 2
formulas. Only Method 2 is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under
Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.2% of average salary for
each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7% of average salary for each additional
year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.7% of
average salary for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a
full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal
retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement
age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are
related to the funding ratio of the plan. If the General Employees Plan is at least
90% funded for two consecutive years, benefit recipients are given a 2.5%
increase. If the plan has not exceeded 90% funded, or have fallen below 80%,
benefit recipients are given a one percent increase. A benefit recipient who has
been receiving a benefit for at least 12 full months as of June 30, will receive a full
increase. Members receiving benefits for at least one month but less than 12 full
months as of June 30, will receive a pro rata increase.
C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee
contributions. Contribution rates can only be modified by the state legislature.
General Employees Fund Contributions
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 6.50%, of their annual
covered salary in fiscal year 2018, and the city was required to contribute 7.50%
for Coordinated Plan members. The city’s contributions to the General Employees
Fund for the year ended December 31, 2018, were $287,700. The city’s
contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.

At December 31, 2018, the city reported a liability of $3,051,175 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 $16 million to the fund in 2018. 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 liability associated with the city totaled
$100,077. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, 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, 2017, through
June 30, 2018, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of
PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2018, the city’s proportionate
share was 0.0550% which was an increase of 0.0001% from its proportion
measured as of June 30, 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the city recognized pension expense
of $44,577 for its proportionate share of the General Employees Fund’s pension
expense. In addition, the city recognized an additional $23,338 as pension
expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota’s contribution of $16 million to the General Employees Fund.
At December 31, 2018, the city reported its proportionate share of the General
Employees Plan’s deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions from the following sources:

$145,637 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting
from the city’s contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be
recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended December
31, 2019. Amounts reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources related
to pensions, including the contributions subsequent to the measurement date, will
be recognized in pension expense as follows:

2022 (63,685)
(325,517)$
E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation was determined
using an individual entry-age normal actuarial cost method and the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 3.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active
members, retirees, survivors, and disabilitants for all plans were based on RP
2014 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit
PERA’s experience. Cost of living benefit increases after retirement for retirees
are assumed to be 1.25% per year for the General Employees Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the
results of actuarial experience studies. The most recent six-year experience study
in the General Employees Plan was completed in 2015.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in the General
Employees Plan in 2018:
The morality projection scale was changed from MP-2015 to MP-2017.
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase was changed from 1.0%
per year through 2044 and 2.50% per year thereafter to 1.25% per year.
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:
Long-Term
Target Expected Real
Allocation Rate of Return
Domestic Stocks 36% 5.10%
International Stocks 17% 5.30%
Bonds 20% 0.75%
Alternative Assets 25% 5.90%
Cash 2% 0.00%
Total 100%
Asset Class
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2018 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 the rates set in
Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of
the General Employees Fund was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods
of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the city’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well
as what the city’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it
were calculated using a discount rate 1 percentage point lower or 1 percentage
point higher than the current discount rate:

NOTE 7. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION
PLANS – STATE-WIDE
All council members of the city are covered by the Public Employees Defined
Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a multiple-employer deferred compensation plan
administered by PERA. However, only two of the five Council members choose to
participate in the plan. The PEDCP is a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are
tax deferred until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment
earnings, less administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03,
specifies plan provisions, including the employee and employer contribution rates
for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible elected official
who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary which is matched by the
elected official's employer. Employer and employee contributions are combined
and used to purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the
Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund. For administering the plan, PERA
receives 2% of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1% (0.25%)
of the assets in each member's account annually.

NOTE 8. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN - MONTICELLO FIRE
RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A. Plan Description
All members of the Monticello Fire Department (the Department) are covered
by a defined benefit plan administered by the Monticello Fire Relief Association
(the Association). As of December 31, 2018, the plan covered 27 active
firefighters and 6 retirees and beneficiaries. The plan is a single-employer
retirement plan that is established and administered in accordance with
Minnesota statute, chapter 69.
The Association maintains a separate Special fund to accumulate assets to fund
the retirement benefits earned by the Department’s membership. Funding for
the Association is derived from voluntary contributions from the city and 2% fire
aid from the State of Minnesota, as well as from investment income.
B. Benefits Provided
Upon approval by the Board of Trustees, lump sum retirement benefits are either
paid or deferred as follows:
Each member who is at least 50 years of age, has retired from the fire
department, has served at least 10 years of active service with such
department before retirement and has been a member of the Association in
good standing at least 10 years prior to such retirement, shall be entitled to
a lump sum service pension in the amount of $4,200 for each year of service
but not exceeding the maximum amount per year of service allowed by law
for the minimum average amount of available financing per firefighter as
prescribed by laws. A year of service may be prorated to twelve monthly
slices, if a full year of active service is not reached.
If a member of the Association shall become permanently and totally
disabled, the Association shall pay the sum of $4,200 for each year the
member was an active member of the Association. If a member who
received a disability pension subsequently recovers and returns to active
duty, the disability pension is deducted from the service pension as
approved by the Board of Trustees.
According to the bylaws of the Association and pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, members who retire with less than 20 years of service and have
reached the age of 50 years and have completed at least 10 years of active
membership are entitled to a reduced service pension not to exceed the
amount calculated by multiplying the member’s service pension for the
completed years of service times an applicable nonforfeitable percentage.
49
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
During the time a member is on deferred vested pension (not yet reached age
50), they will earn interest on the deferred benefit amount at a rate equal to
the actual time weighted total rate of return as reported by the Minnesota State
Auditor’s Office, up to five percent, compounded annually. A deferred vested
member will not be eligible for disability benefits.
C. Contributions
Minnesota statutes, chapters 424 and 424A authorize pension benefits for
volunteer fire relief associations. Contributions by the city are determined as
follows:
Normal cost for next year (increase in pension benefit obligation)
Plus estimated expenses for next year and 10% of any deficits
Less anticipated income next year and 10%of any surplus
The plan is funded by fire state aid, investment earnings and, if necessary,
employer contributions as specified in Minnesota statutes and voluntary city
contributions (if applicable). The State of Minnesota contributed $130,874 in fire
state aid to the plan on behalf of the city Fire Department for the year ended
December 31, 2018, which was recorded as a revenue. Required employer
contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The city’s
statutorily-required contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31,
2018 were $130,874. The city’s contributions were equal to the required
contributions as set by state statute. The city made no voluntary contributions to
the plan. Furthermore, the members have no obligation to contribute to the plan.
D. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability at December 31, 2018 was determined using the entry
age cost method and the following assumptions:
Retirement eligibility at 100% service pension at age 50 and 20 years of service,
early vested retirement at age 50 with 10 years of service vested at 60% and
increased by 4% for each additional year of service up to 20 and eligibility for
deferred service pension payable at age 50 and 20 years of service.
Benefit increases 2.00% per year
Cost of living increases 2.00% per year
Investment rate of return 4.42%
20 year municipal bond yield 3.44%
E. Pension Costs
At December 31, 2018, the city reported a net pension liability of $85,641 for the
FRA plan. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability in
accordance with GASB 68 was determined by Robinson Associates LLC
applying an actuarial formula to specific census data certified by the fire
department as of December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2018,
the Fire Department recognized pension expense of $160,792.
At December 31, 2018, the fire department reported deferred outflows/inflows
of resources as follows:

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 4.42%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that
contributions to the FRA plan will be made as specified in statute. Based on that
assumption and considering the funding ratio of the plan, the fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of
current active and inactive members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 9. OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN
A. Plan Description
The city provides post-employment insurance benefits to certain eligible
employees through its OPEB Plan, a single-employer defined benefit plan
administered by the city. All post-employment benefits are based on contractual
agreements with employee groups. Eligibility for these benefits is based on years
of service and/or minimum age requirements. These contractual agreements do
not include any specific contribution or funding requirements. The Retiree Health
Plan does not issue a publicly available financial report. No plan assets are
accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement
No. 75.
B. Benefits Provided
All retirees of the city upon retirement have the option under state law to continue
their medical insurance coverage through the city. For members of certain
employee groups, the city pays for all or part of the eligible retiree’s premiums
for medical and/or dental insurance from the time of retirement until the
employee reaches the age of eligibility for Medicare. Benefits paid by the city
differ by bargaining unit and date of hire, with some contracts specifying a certain
dollar amount per month, and some covering premium costs as defined within
each collective bargaining agreement. Retirees not eligible for these city-paid
premium benefits must pay the full city premium rate for their coverage.
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 until the
retiree reaches Medicare eligibility, 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.
C. Contributions
The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing
requirements, with additional amounts to prefund benefits as determined
periodically by the city. The city’s current year required pay-as-you-go
contributions to finance the benefits described in the previous section totaled
$13,277.
D. Membership
Membership in the plan consisted of the following as of the latest actuarial
valuation:
Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits -
Active plan members 51
Total members 51
E. Total OPEB Liability of the City
The city’s total OPEB liability of $309,963 as of year-end was measured as of
January 1, 2018, and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
F. Actuarial Assumption
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January
1, 2018, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods
included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount rate 3.30%
20-year municipal bond yield 3.30%
Inflation rate 2.50%
Salary increases 3.00%
Medical trend rate 6.25% grading to 5.00% over 5 years
The actuarial assumptions used in the latest valuation were based on those
used to value pension liabilities for Minnesota city employees. The state pension
plans base their assumptions on periodic experience studies. Economic
assumptions are based on input from a variety of published sources of historical
and projected future financial data. Each assumption was reviewed for
reasonableness with the source information as well as for consistency with the
other economic assumptions.
Since the plan is not funded by an irrevocable trust, the discount rate is equal to
the 20-year municipal bond yield rate of 3.30%, which was set by considering
published rate information for 20-year high quality, tax-exempt, general
obligation municipal bonds as of the measurement date. The city discount rate
used in the prior measurement date was 3.50%.
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 White Collar Mortality Tables with
MP-2016 Generational Improvement Scale.
Future retirees electing coverage is assumed to be 30%.

NOTE 10. RISK MANAGEMENT AND LITIGATION
The city is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damage
to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and
natural disasters. For the past several years, the city has obtained insurance
coverage from various trusts administered by the League of Minnesota Cities.
Additionally, the city has effectively managed risk through various employee
education and prevention programs.
All risk management activities are accounted for in the appropriate fund.
Expenditures and claims are recognized when it is probable that a loss has
occurred, the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and the loss
amount exceeds insurance coverage. In determining claims, events that might
create claims, but for which none have been reported, are considered.
The city attorney estimates that the amount of actual or potential claims against
the city as of December 31, 2018 will not materially affect the financial condition
of the city.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through the League of Minnesota
Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). This is a group self-insured workers’
compensation plan. Nearly every municipality in Minnesota participates in the
53
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
plan. The city has never had to contribute any additional funds beyond the annual
standard premium and deductibles, which is $2,500 per occurrence. The city’s
annual premium reflects a base rate multiplied by an experience modification of
100%.
The city provides health benefit coverage to all full-time employees and certain
part-time employees who meet personnel policy set criteria. The city pays a
portion of the premium, which is set annually by council action, and is not obligated
to make any other payments.
The city also purchases property, vehicle, liability and various other insurance
coverages from the LMCIT. The standard deductible for most claims is $1,000.
State statute sets tort limits for most liability claims at $500,000 per individual and
$1,500,000 for all claimants for one incident. Annually, the council can waive the
tort limits, but has chosen not to without exception. The city periodically receives
a dividend from LMCIT and has never had to contribute additional funds beyond
premiums and deductibles.
There were no significant reductions in insurance coverages from the previous
year and there were no settlements in excess of insurance coverage in each of
the past three years.
NOTE 11. CLAIMS AND JUDGMENTS
The city participates in a number of federal and state programs that are fully or
partially funded by grants received from other governmental units. Expenditures
financed by grants are subject to audit by the appropriate grantor government. If
expenditures are disallowed due to noncompliance with grant program
regulations, the city may be required to reimburse the grantor government.
As of December 31, 2018, significant amounts of grant expenditures have not
been audited by the granting agency, but the city believes that disallowed
expenditures discovered in subsequent audits, if any, will not have a material
effect on any of the individual funds or the overall financial position of the city.
NOTE 12. CONCENTRATION OF REVENUES
Cargill Kitchen Solutions is the largest customer of water and sewage services.
The company’s water purchases account for $82,148, or 5.7 percent, of Water
Fund operating revenue; and the company’s sewage charges account for
$437,665, or 17.0 percent, of Sewage Fund operating revenue. Additionally,
Northern States Power Company’s (Xcel Energy) net tax capacity for property
taxes payable in 2018 is $17,906,151, or 59.2 percent, of the total net capacity of
$30,250,408. Accordingly, Xcel Energy’s share of the $9.870 million city property
tax levy is $5.84 million. The tax capacity on January 1, 2019, is based on
market values certified to the state on January 1, 2018. In both 2013 and 2014,
Xcel Energy uprated energy producing assets at its Monticello nuclear plant.
However, Xcel has since experienced a decrease in plant value, contributing to
the decrease in the company’s net tax capacity to $16,294,278, or 55 percent,
of the $29,784,556 total tax capacity for taxes payable in 2019.
NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In 2018, the city council approved the early pay off of the remaining $ 590,000
2010A Refunding and Improvement Bonds on February 1, 2019. These bonds
had original maturity dates of February 1, 2019 and February 1, 2020. Existing
reserves in the debt service fund were used to prepay the bonds.
NOTE 14. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARD
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the city implemented GASB
Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Post-Employment
Benefits Other Than Pensions. This statement included major changes in how
plans and employers account for OPEB obligations. This statement established
standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. Certain
amounts necessary to fully restate fiscal year 2017 financial information are not
determinable; therefore, prior year comparative amounts have not been
restated. The implementation of new GASB statement in the current year
resulted in the restatement of net position as of December 31, 2017. The details

Notes to the Required Supplementary Information
December 31, 2018 CITY OF MONTICELLO
Budgetary Information
Budgetary basis of accounting
The city follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in
the basic 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
Monticello Community Center.
C. On or before December 28, the final budget is legally enacted by city
council resolution 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 and all special
revenue funds. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted
appropriations at the total fund level. Monitoring of budgets is maintained
at the department level. 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 nonmajor special revenue
funds, the Debt Service Fund, and the Capital Projects Funds. Project-
length financial plans are adopted for the Debt Service and Capital
Projects Funds.
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.
Excess of expenditures over appropriations
For the year ended December 31, 2018, expenditures exceeded appropriations
in the Economic Development Authority special revenue fund by $513,950. The
excess of expenditures resulted from purchases of parcels for redevelopment
that were not included in the budget. Fund balance reserves were used to fund
the expenditures.

Overlapping Taxing Districts
Information reflects total tax rates levied by each entity. Tax rates are expressed in terms of “net tax capacity.” A property’s tax capacity is determined by multiplying its
taxable market value by a state determined class rate. Class rates vary by property type and change periodically based on state legislation. Components of the direct rate are
not readily available.

Note:
Source: The Wright County auditor provided the debt outstanding and estimated applicable percentages for the school district and county.
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the
government’s taxable assessed value that is within the City’s boundaries and dividing it by the government’s total taxable assessed value.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those
overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the government’s ability to issue and repay
long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and,
therefore, responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.
