Many people are curious about the sources of city funding, how money is spent, and how the city plans for a strong ﬁnancial future. The Popular Annual Financial Report is created each year to offer residents and other interested members of the public a summary of the city's ﬁnancial posiƟon. We invite you to explore the valuable informaƟon in these pages to learn more about the ﬁnances of your local government. 2 Financial Report Message The City of MonƟcello is pleased to present its eighth Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR). The PAFR is presented in conformity with Generally Accepted AccounƟng Principles (GAAP) and is a condensed version of the 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Therefore, it does not include informaƟon on all the city's funds. The report focuses on the General Fund and Community Center major governmental fund, the enterprise funds, and the discretely presented Economic Development Authority (EDA) component unit. The ACFR is a detailed account of the city's ﬁnancial statements, footnotes, schedules, and staƟsƟcs. The 2022 ACFR was prepared in conformance with GAAP, audited by Abdo and received an unmodiﬁed (clean) opinion. A copy of the report can be found on the city's website at www.ci.monƟcello.mn.us/164/ﬁnance. The PAFR provides a summary of the ﬁnancial posiƟon of the city, and it shows where revenues come from to operate the city and where those dollars are spent. The report is presented in an effort to inform residents and other interested parƟes about the ﬁnancial operaƟons of the city in a simpliﬁed and easy-to-read format. DeﬁniƟons to technical language can be found in the secƟon Ɵtled What Does It All Mean? on page 12. Thank you for your interest in your government.

From left to right: Mayor Lloyd Hilgart, Lee Martie, Sam Murdoff, Charlotte Gabler and Tracy Hinz 4 Government-wide Financial Activity The city of MonƟcello, organized as a municipality in 1856, has the Mississippi River as its north border. The city is located approximately 45 miles northwest of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area along the I-94 corridor in Wright County. The city beneﬁts from employment opportuniƟes in the area and a relaƟvely low unemployment rate of 3.6%. The city provides its residents and businesses with a full range of municipal services consisƟng of law enforcement (contracted) and ﬁre protecƟon, the construcƟon and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure, a community center for recreaƟon acƟviƟes, park operaƟons and maintenance, and general administraƟve services. In addiƟon, the city operates six enterprises: water, sewer, stormwater, and ﬁber opƟcs uƟliƟes along with a liquor store and deputy registrar (DMV). The city of MonƟcello conƟnues to grow. In 2022, the city issued 35 permits for new homes and 5 permits for commercial buildings. For 2022, the city's populaƟon was esƟmated at 14,619, an increase of about 1%, from the 2020 Census number of 14,460. The city currently occupies 9.4 square miles but could ulƟmately expand to 20.8 square miles as porƟons of MonƟcello Township may be annexed through an orderly annexaƟon agreement. PopulaƟon: 14,619 City Employees (FTE): 105.15 City Tax Rate: 36.54 City & Overlapping Tax Rate: 97.00 Unemployment Rate: 3.6% Median Household Income: $73,651 Number of Households: 5,379 School Enrollment: 4,206 Top Employer: ISD 882 (684) Top Taxpayer: Xcel Energy (50%) Monticello Stats Monticello City Profile The Statement of Net PosiƟon presents informaƟon on the city’s assets and deferred ouƞlows of re- sources, less liabiliƟes and deferred inﬂows of re- sources, with the difference reported as net posiƟon. Over Ɵme, increases or decreases in net posiƟon may serve as an indicator of whether the ﬁnancial posiƟon of the city is improving or deterioraƟng. The increase in the city’s total net posiƟon over the last three years is due to revenues exceeding conser- vaƟvely budgeted projecƟons and expenditures com- ing in below the liberally budgeted expenditures. CONDENSED STATEMENT OF NET POSITION CONDENSED STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES The Statement of AcƟviƟes presents informaƟon showing how the city’s net posiƟon changed from year to year. Revenues decreased 7% in 2022. Governmental charges for services increased 13% as Community Center operaƟons move closer to pre-COVID-19 acƟvity level. Grants and aids decreased 22.5% and investment earnings decreased 443%. Property taxes increased 2.5% due to a levy increase, and business-type (water, sewer, stormwater, liquor, ﬁber opƟcs and DMV) charges for services increased 4.5%. Expenses increased 8% from 2021 to 2022. The most signiﬁ- cant change was the increased acƟvity at the Community Center. *Net posiƟon, January 1, 2021 was restated due to the reclassiﬁcaƟon of the EDA component unit from blended to discretely presented. 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) 5 City Services Revenues: The most signiﬁcant revenue source for business-type acƟviƟes is charges for services at 93%. Charges for services include fees for water, sewer, stormwater, and ﬁber opƟc uƟliƟes, as well as liquor store sales, and deputy registrar processing fees. Capital grants & contribuƟons include access and trunk charges related to new development. Expenses: The largest use of funds within business-type acƟviƟes is for the liquor store (44%), which includes cost of goods sold. Sewer and Fiber OpƟcs expenses are also signiﬁcant at 22% and 14%, respecƟvely. The city contracts with Veolia to run its wastewater treatment plant and with Arvig to manage its ﬁber opƟc network. Where the money goes... Where the money goes... Where the money comes from... Where the money comes from... Revenues: The most signiﬁcant revenue source for governmental acƟviƟes is property taxes at 64% of total revenues. Charges for services accounts for 24% of revenues, most of which is generated by the Community Center. Capital grants and contribuƟons (9%) include special assessments and revenues from other sources restricted to capital asset acquisiƟon. Governmental Activities Basic city services primarily support by taxes & intergovernmental revenues. Business-Type Activities City services intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user charges. Expenses: Public works expenses are the most signiﬁcant (33%), followed by recreaƟon & culture (23%), and public safety (19%). Public works includes engineering, streets, ice & snow removal, shop & garage, and street lighƟng. RecreaƟon & culture includes parks, cemetery, senior center, and community center expenditures. Public safety includes building inspecƟons, ﬁre department and Wright County police services. City Services 6 2022 Major Projects & Purchases CompleƟon of Fenning Avenue pathway and curb/ landscaping reconstrucƟon CompleƟon of the Sanitary Sewer lining project InstallaƟon of new Romp and Stomp Play Structure in the Community center InstallaƟon of roof improvements at the Library Purchase of various pieces of equipment Fire engine 11 Base loader, skid steer, asphalt paver for streets New security cameras for the Liquor store Mowers and security cameras for parks Long-term Financial Planning The city has developed a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which is a ﬁve-year forecast of the city’s facility, equipment, and infrastructure needs. Items in the ﬁrst year of the CIP are incorporated into the annual budget. Items in the later years are less certain and difficult to plan, but are idenƟﬁed for long-term planning. A long term ﬁnancial planning model was created in 2022, which will be updated annually. Both the city’s debt load and annual debt service property tax levy are evaluated for large projects requiring debt issuance. Current year revenues, grants and one-Ɵme use of reserves provide pay-as-you-go ﬁnancing for smaller projects. Future Major Projects & Purchases Downtown Roadway & Pedestrian Improvement project Safe Routes to School projects for School Boulevard and Pinewood Elementary Bertram Chain of Lakes Safety and Accessibility Improvements Purchases of various pieces of equipment Plow Trucks, Bobcat, ForkliŌ, Vehicles ConƟnue work on, or complete, the following projects started in 2021 Downtown RevitalizaƟon Supervisory Control and Data AcquisiƟon (SCADA) improvements to water and sewer system The Pointes at Cedar development area Public Works Facility construcƟon What We Own Downtown Monticello Revitalization Romp and Stomp Play Structure 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) 7 Monticello Bond Rating In 2020, Moody’s affirmed the city's A1 bond raƟng when the city issued $2,155,000 in General ObligaƟon (G.O.) bonds. An A1 is an upper medium grade. A high bond raƟng is important because it results in lower interest costs when issuing debt. The amount of bonds outstanding at year-end 2022 was $20,240,000 compared to the 2021 year-end amount of $22,815,000. The City did not issue any debt in 2022. The city iniƟally planned to issue debt in 2023, but it likely will not due to project Ɵming uncertainty. A1 Governmental Funds A fund is a grouping of accounts segregated for a speciﬁc purpose. Street reconstrucƟon and improvement projects contributed to large expenditures in 2018 and 2020. The new ﬁre staƟon construcƟon took place in 2019. In 2021 and 2022 the planning process for The Pointes at Cedar and development preparaƟon at the OƩer Creek Industrial Park began. The governmental funds operate on the modiﬁed accrual basis of accounƟng and include various fund types including: General Fund - accounts for all ﬁnancial resources except those accounted for in another fund. Special revenue funds - account for revenues restricted by law or administraƟve acƟon for speciﬁc purposes. Debt service funds - account for the acƟvity related to long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs. Capital project funds - account for the acquisiƟon or construcƟon of major governmental capital faciliƟes. What We Owe The city’s long-term liabiliƟes outstanding at the end of 2022 totaled $27.4 million. Graph does not include other ﬁnancing sources (uses) including bond proceeds. 8 MONTICELLO COMMUNITY CENTER Monticello’s General Fund The ﬁrst chart below shows General Fund revenues and expenditures for the last ﬁve years. Revenues have increased every year with higher tax levies and increases in charges for services. Expenditures increased slightly in 2022 as a result of the increase in the cost of supplies, fuel and uƟliƟes. Fund balance = (Assets + Deferred Ouƞlows of Resources) - (LiabiliƟes + Deferred Inﬂows of Resources) Fund balance can fall into ﬁve different classiﬁcaƟons shown at the boƩom of this page. The city's policy is to maintain a year-end fund balance of 60-75% of the following year's budgeted expenditures. This is the amount needed to pay expenditures unƟl the city receives its ﬁrst property tax seƩlement in June. The 2022 year-end unassigned fund balance is $6,912,680. 2022 General Fund Revenues by Category The chart to the right shows a breakdown of revenues by category. In 2022 property taxes conƟnue to be the primary revenue source, making up 70% of actual revenues, while budgeted property taxes were 73% of budgeted revenues. Why? Non-tax revenue sources are more conservaƟvely esƟmated. Revenues for 2022 totaled $11,102,643 compared to a budgeted $10,530,000. Building permit revenue exceeded budget by $141,914 (30%). Charges for services, intergovernmental, and other revenues also contributed to the posiƟve revenue variance. 2022 General Fund Expenditures by Function The chart to the leŌ shows a breakdown of expenditures by funcƟon. In 2022 the total expenditures were $10,551,215, which was $27,215 above the budgeted $10,524,000. General government expenditures increased due projects that were offset by the CET Grant funding. Public works and RecreaƟon and culture saw increases in costs of supplies, as well as the purchase of new equipment. RecreaƟon and culture also saw increases due to a new city event, Let’s Chalk. These expenditures were offset with donaƟons. There was also an increase in the ballﬁeld repair and maintenance due to vandalism to the ballﬁeld lights. These costs were offset by insurance. 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) 9 Debt Service & Capital Project Funds The city has one combined debt service fund made up of seven sub-funds for the various governmental debt issuances outstanding. The fund balance is restricted for repayment of debt. Details about the city’s general obligaƟon debt can be found on page 7. The Capital Projects Fund is the only major capital project fund of the city. This fund accounts for the majority of governmental buildings and infrastructure projects, some of which are detailed on page 6. The nonmajor capital projects funds include street lighƟng improvement, park & pathway improvement, and park dedicaƟon. Discretely Presented Component Unit A discretely presented component unit is a related, but disƟnct, enƟty which is reported in the city’s ﬁnancial report separately from the ﬁnancial data of the primary government. The Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund in MonƟcello is one such component unit. One of the EDA’s primary focuses is improving MonƟcello’s original downtown. Redevelopment on the Block 52 area began in late 2022 and will conƟnue through 2023 and 2024. Other Governmental Funds Community Center Special Revenue Fund The MonƟcello Community Center (MCC) is a full-service facility with ameniƟes including gym memberships, ﬁtness classes, climbing wall, aquaƟcs, child indoor play, concessions, room rentals, and more. The MCC hosts various events including a weekly summer farmers market, movies in the park, and Music on the Mississippi concert series. Revenues are mostly comprised of charges to members and users. Some funding comes from a tax levy. The MCC also uƟlized $385,718 in ARPA funding. Charges for services increased $259,653 (35%), and expenditures increased $636,000 (52%) due to increased acƟvity and memberships post COVID-19. MonƟcello’s special revenue funds also include the Small CiƟes Development Program (SCDP) and Cemetery funds. 10 Hi-Way Liquors Hi-Way Liquors operaƟons are accounted for in the Liquor enterprise fund. The liquor store is conveniently located along the west side of State Hwy 25 near the only Mississippi River crossing within approximately 25 miles. The excellent locaƟon and experienced management team combine to achieve the 15th highest gross sales out of the 177 municipally run liquor stores in Minnesota in 2021. The store’s overall gross proﬁt margin is roughly 25%. Proﬁts generated from the liquor store support various city projects. Liquor and related product sales once again exceeded the $7 million threshold in 2022. Sales have remained high even as the capacity restricƟons of local bars and restaurants have been liŌed aŌer the COVID-19 pandemic. The net posiƟon increased $777,760 in 2022. Proﬁts from the liquor store will be used in 2023 to help fund the Downtown Roadway & Pedestrian Improvement Project. Stop in today for friendly service and a great selecƟon of beer, wine, liquor, and more! Deputy Registrar Monticello’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) operations are reflected in the Deputy Registrar enterprise fund. The past several years of increased DMV revenues has resulted in a healthy fund of balance of $2,356,053. This has enabled the DMV to transfer $1,750,000 to help fund the Downtown Roadway & Pedestrian Improvement Project in 2023. Although revenues decreased and expenses for depreciation and pension increased, the DMV still showed an overall increase in net position of $41,701. The number of transactions processed decreased 12% and income per transaction increased by 48% from 2021. The DMV provides the following services: $20 fast track title transfers (title received within 3 business days) Duplicate titles printed in-house same day Duplicate driver’s license (change of address or lost) All of your DNR needs including fishing & hunting licenses and boat transfers Notary services 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) 11 Tax Levy Information The City Council adopts a tax levy for the General Fund, MonƟcello Community Center Fund, Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. The levy for taxes payable in 2022 was $11,741,000 which is $311,000 (2.7%) higher than the 2021 levy of $11,430,000. Most residents experienced an increase in their 2022 property taxes as property values conƟnued to rebound, reducing the homestead value exclusion. Xcel Energy’s valuaƟon was reduced, causing more of the tax burden to shiŌ to the residenƟal taxpayers. Xcel plant uprate improvements in 2012 and 2014 added signiﬁcant taxable market value, leading to big tax capacity rates decreases in 2013 and 2015, respecƟvely. The chart to the leŌ displays the property tax levy using the leŌ scale (blue bars) and the tax capacity rate using the right scale (green line). The city has increased the levy the last ﬁve years to maintain service levels even though costs have increased. The tax levy divided by the tax capacity equals the tax capacity rate. Tax capacity is a derivaƟve of the taxable market value. The city aims to levy responsibly so as to limit increases in tax capacity rate to lesson impacts on taxpayers. The General Fund is primarily supported by property taxes. Annual General Fund budgets typically plan to receive roughly 75% of the total revenue from the property tax levy. The only other revenue source that comprises more than 5% of budgeted General fund total revenues is charges for services at 10.9%. However, actual revenues for licenses and permits made up roughly 5.5% of revenues, charges for services were 12.5% , other revenues were 8.6%, and intergovernmental revenues were 5.5%. Intergovernmental revenues increased due to Community Energy TransiƟons (CET) Grant funding to help develop a plan to address the impact of the decommissioning of the Xcel Nuclear Plant. Debt service funds are typically supported by a wide range of revenue sources (property taxes, special assessments, developer fees, transfers from other funds, etc.). The MCC fund is typically supported by user fees (memberships, acƟvity fees, rental charges, etc.) AddiƟonally, the MCC fund receives a porƟon of the tax levy for operaƟons. Three tax levying authoriƟes compete for your property tax dollar: Wright County, City of MonƟcello, and Independent School District #882. MonƟcello property owners pay more tax dollars to the county than to the city. MonƟcello’s tax capacity rate is one of the lowest in Wright County. A liƩle more than one-third of your property tax supports a wide range of city services, including public safety, streets, parks and recreaƟon, administraƟon, and economic development. The city's esƟmated market value of all properƟes within the city grew from $2.17 billion to $2.41 billion in 2022 (for taxes payable in 2023). Xcel Energy’s nuclear power plant, which comprises roughly 45% of the city’s tax capacity, saw a 3.7% increase in market value. ResidenƟal properƟes saw a 20% increase, commercial properƟes saw a 6.5% increase, and apartments experienced a 19.5% increase in market value. 12 As taxpayers go, none is larger in MonƟcello than Xcel Energy (Xcel), also known as Northern States Power (NSP). The company operates a nuclear power plant located inside MonƟcello’s western boundary. The company has made two uprate improvements in the last eleven years, absorbing a larger share of the city’s property tax levy. Xcel’s share of the taxes paid has increased from 40% to 62% and back down to 50% in that Ɵme. Consequently, the city has one of the lowest tax capacity rates in Wright County. Independent School District 882 surpassed Xcel as MonƟcello’s largest employer, with 684 employees. Neither Xcel nor the school district are MonƟcello’s largest uƟlity customer, however. Cargill Kitchen SoluƟons generates $467,032 or 16.0% of the sewer uƟlity operaƟng revenue and $95,869 or 5.4% of the water uƟlity revenue. Cargill operates a plant that produces further-processed egg products in the breakfast category for restaurants and food manufacturers. What Does It All Mean? Current and other assets are resources with present service capacity that the city controls include cash or near cash items that can be used to liquidate liabiliƟes due within a year. Capital assets are nonﬁnancial assets that have an iniƟal useful life of more than one year and are used in providing services for the city and its residents. Deferred inﬂows of resources are an acquisiƟon of net posiƟon (inﬂow of resources during the year) by the city that is applicable to a future reporƟng period Deferred ouƞlows of resources are a consumpƟon of net posiƟon by the city (ouƞlow of resources during the year) that is applicable to a future reporƟng period. Long-term liabiliƟes are obligaƟons of the city including items such as bonds, loans, compensated absences, pension liabiliƟes and other city obligaƟons, typically due beyond the current reporƟng period. Modiﬁed accrual basis of accounƟng is the method of accounƟng where revenues are not recognized unƟl they are both measurable and available. Expenditures are recognized in the period when the liability is liquidated rather than incurred. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciaƟon, reduced by any outstanding debt aƩributable to acquire capital assets. Other liabiliƟes are present obligaƟons of the city to sacriﬁce resources that it has liƩle or no discreƟon to avoid. Restricted net posiƟon consists of net posiƟon restricted when there are limitaƟons imposed on their use through external restricƟons imposed by creditors, grantors, or other governments. Unrestricted net posiƟon includes all other net posiƟon that does not meet the deﬁniƟon of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets. Largest Taxpayer, Employers, and Customers 2022 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) 13 A range of aƩainable housing opƟons in terms of type, cost, and locaƟon. A safe, clean, and beauƟful community supported by caring and helpful residents. A healthy community focused on physical and mental health and wellness of its residents. A network of parks, open spaces and trail connecƟons that provide recreaƟonal opportuniƟes. An inclusive community welcoming people of all ages, races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. A diversiﬁed and strong local economy compeƟƟve at regional, state, and naƟonal levels. A balanced land use and transportaƟon framework that provides opƟons and connecƟvity. A vibrant downtown that embraces the river and provides a focal point for the community. A thriving arts and culture scene that reﬂects community creaƟvity and supports a sense of place. Monticello Value Statements Downtown Revitalization Drawing on feedback from the community and planning ideas of the past, the 2017 Downtown Small Area Plan (SAP) seeks to build on the unique qualiƟes of the exisƟng downtown, while simultaneously pursuing new investment that makes downtown aƩracƟve to those who live and do business in the community. The Plan’s vision for Downtown “includes a commitment to retaining Broadway as MonƟcello’s Main Street, supporƟng exisƟng businesses, improving connecƟons to and relaƟonship with the River, and creaƟng new downtown housing opportuniƟes along Walnut and Cedar Avenues for exisƟng and new MonƟcello residents.” It envisions a Downtown that is vibrant throughout the day and into the evening, year-round. It imagines a Downtown that is for everyone. Following adopƟon of the SAP, work began immediately on projects throughout the Downtown in support of achieving the vision. On the public side, MonƟArts has woven engaging and vibrant art displays throughout the Downtown. New grant programs for businesses in the core have been developed by the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA). Small but signiﬁcant sidewalk enhancements have been made at Walnut & Broadway to the beneﬁt of both the businesses and pedestrians in the area. On the private side, new shops and services are popping up in Downtown and business owners are making investments inside and outside their exisƟng buildings. New housing at Rivertown Suites was developed, bringing new residents and acƟvity into the area. The City and EDA acquired 13 of the 16 parcels on Block 52, which were then re- plaƩed into two parcels: one the City retains one parcel for public parking while the second parcel was sold to a private developer, who is construcƟng an 87-unit apartment and 30,000 square foot commercial mixed-use building.
