INTRODUCTORY SECTION
REPORT DATE
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council,
and Citizens of Elk River:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the City of Elk River for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2016, is hereby submitted. Minnesota State Statutes and the City's
ordinance require an annual audit of the City's accounts by the State Auditor or by independent
certified public accountants. The firm of CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP was selected to perform the
City's audit and their unmodified opinion has been included in this report. The independent
auditors' report is included in the financial section of this report.
This report was prepared by the City's Finance Department and responsibility for both the
completeness and accuracy of this data, as well as the fairness of this presentation including all
enclosures, rests with the City. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are
accurate in all material respects and are recorded in a manner designed to present fairly the
financial position and the results of operations of the various funds of the City. To provide a
reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to both protect the City's assets from
loss, theft, or misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance
regarding the safeguarding of the City's assets against loss, theft, or misuse, and ensuring that
adequate financial records are maintained for preparing financial statements, and maintaining
accountability for assets. The development of an appropriate internal control system requires
estimates and judgments by management to ensure that the costs do not exceed the benefits of
the system. The City of Elk River's internal control structure is designed so that the estimated
costs of control do not exceed the benefits.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that management provide a narrative
introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a
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 of Elk River's MD&A
immediately follows the independent auditor's report and provides a narrative introduction,
overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements.
Profile of the Government
The City of Elk River was originally incorporated in 1880 and consolidated with Elk River
Township in 1978 to form a city of 44 square miles. The City of Elk River is located in Sherburne
County and serves as the county seat. Elk River is located approximately halfway between the
metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Saint Cloud along the Mississippi River. The
City of Elk River has been growing and will not reach full development in the near future. The
current population is approximately 24,200. Urban services are available to about one-third of
the land area in the City.
(1)
The City of Elk River operates under a statutory form of government consisting of a four
member City Council and a Mayor who is also a voting member. Council members are elected
by ward to a four-year term with two Council seats up for election each even year. The Mayor is
also elected to a four-year term. The City Council is responsible for adopting the City's budget
and tax levy, passing resolutions and ordinances, all hiring and firing decisions, policy making,
development and growth planning, and overall direction of the City.
In addition to providing general government services, the City of Elk River provides a full range
of other services including police and fire protection, building and other safety inspections,
planning and zoning, economic development, environmental services, parks and recreation,
library, street, snow removal, infrastructure maintenance and repair, and others. The City also
provides municipal water, sewer, garbage, and electric services and operates two off -sale liquor
stores.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Elk River's financial planning and
control. Budget requests are submitted by all departments to the Finance Department each
May. The Finance Department compiles these requests into a proposed budget. The Finance
Department and city administrator review the information and present a draft budget to the
Council in July for consideration. Following Council discussion and public input, the final tax levy
and budget are approved in December. The City's Financial Management Policies allow
department heads to make administrative budget amendments (excluding personal service and
capital outlay) throughout the year as long as the total department budget does not change and
the amendment is approved by the city administrator and finance director. The Council
approves additional budget amendments in December of each year. Budget to actual
comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an
appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund this comparison is
presented on page 28 as part of the basic financial statements for the governmental funds. For
other governmental funds with appropriated annual budgets this comparison is presented in the
governmental fund subsection of this report.
Local Economy -----
The local economy has continued to grow by the increase in building permits with a construction
value of $51,368,317 being issued in 2016. Additions and remodels accounted for $21,700,085
of new value and $29,668,232 in new construction makes up the balance. The number of new
housing units remained steady from 74 in 2015 to 75 in 2016. Single family homes accounted
for 73 units and 2 twin homes accounted for the new housing units in 2016. The average value
of a new home increased to $216,557.
Many of Elk River's largest employers reported stable or growing employment levels between
2016 and 2017. This is largely due to the upward trend in manufacturing activity in the region.
Many larger Elk River employers are experiencing modest growth. There has been continual
interest in both affordable and market rate multi -family housing projects.
In 2016, several businesses completed expansions and renovations to their facilities and
several senior projects were approved with construction expected to be completed in 2017. The
outlook in this region looks promising with commercial industrial activity and the recent increase
in housing projects that have made their way through the review process for construction in
2017.
(2)
Long-term Financial Planning
As part of a yearly budget process, the City Council reviews the updated Financial Management
Plan. The Financial Management Plan provides a long-range forecast that brings together future
expenditures, revenues, and development of the City. The Council has been diligent in
maintaining a level tax rate. This plan provides the information needed to develop in a manner
that will sustain or expand City services while keeping the property taxes stable. Department
heads take part in this process to estimate staff additions, service levels, and capital needs for
the next ten years.
In addition, the City Council continually reviews cash flow analysis and long-term planning as
part of the comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) process. The CIP is a 5 -year
planning tool that forecasts the City's capital needs based on the City's long-range plans, goals,
and policies.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City Council has adopted several Financial Management Policies and continually monitors
and updates the policies. The Financial Management Policies include: revenues, property taxes,
investments, purchasing, financial reporting, reserves, fund balance, capital investment, and
debt policies. The City's policy on fund balance states that the City will maintain an unassigned
fund balance of not less than 40-45% of budgeted general fund operating expenditures. The
percentage of unassigned fund balance at December 31, 2016 is 45%. Since property tax
payments are received by the City in two installments in July and December, the City needs
adequate cash reserves for cash flow in order to avoid short-term borrowing to finance
operations.
Changes in state law over the past several years have resulted in funding changes for both
schools and local governments. Replacements of Market Value Homestead Credits (MVHC)
with the Market Value Exclusion (MVE) program and Local Government Aids (LGA) program
have resulted in revenue losses to the City. Due to the uncertainty in receiving the aid from the
state, the LGA and MVHC revenues are not included in the 2016 General Fund budget. The
City does not expect in the short-term to see LGA and MVHC amounts restored to previous
year's levels.
Major Initiatives
The city completed the long-term strategic plan of the Gravel Mining Area Study to shape the
future of this highly developable 2,600 -acre segment along US Highway 169 that runs through
the city. In 2016, the city also completed the master planning process for the William H. Houlton
Conservation Area and Bailey Point Nature Preserve, and formed a task force to evaluate and
plan for future needs of the city's aging facilities. In addition, Elk River's Northstar Station
continues to have the largest ridership numbers along the rail line that runs from Minneapolis to
Big Lake.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United Stated and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Elk
River for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015. This was the 27th consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In
order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily
readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report must
satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
(3)
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
The City received the GFOA Award for the Distinguished Budget Presentation for the City
budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. It was the 8t" consecutive year the City
received the award for the document.
The preparation of this report is made possible by the efficient and dedicated services of the
entire staff of the city administrator's office and Finance Department. The Mayor and City
Council are to be commended for their diligence and resolve in keeping the City in sound and
stable financial condition. The City Council's commitment to continually plan for the City's future
and dedication to maintain high financial standards has helped the City maintain its strong
financial condition during a long period of growth and subsequent market changes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honorable Mayor and the City Council
City of Elk River, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -
type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Elk River, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Elk River'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.
Auditors' Responsibility > N%o
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 auditors' 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 entity'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 entity'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, the aggregate
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Elk River as of December 31, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, schedule of funding
progress for other postemployment benefits, schedule of the City's proportionate share of net pension
liability, schedule of the City's pension contributions, and the schedule of changes in net pension
liability and related ratios, 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 Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information 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 40V Al Vk
-- -
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Elk River's basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual fund statements and schedules, and statistical sections are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund 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 combining and individual statements and schedules are 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.

DATE, on our consideration of the City of Elk River's internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over

internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF ELK RIVER
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Elk River'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 supplemental 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 of Elk River's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of position presents information on all of the City of Elk River's assets and deferred
outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the
two 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 of Elk River 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
(e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Elk River that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Elk River include general
government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, economic development and interest on
long-term debt. The business -type activities of the City of Elk River include municipal liquor, garbage,
sewer, storm water, water, and electric.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Elk River itself (known as the
primary government), but also a legally separate Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for which
the City of Elk River is financially accountable. Financial information for the HRA is reported separately
from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. The Elk River Municipal
Utilities, although also legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City
of Elk River, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government -wide financial statements can be found starting on page 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 of Elk River, like
other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Elk River can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

CITY OF ELK RIVER
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Elk River maintains four individual major governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General, YMCA Bonds, TIF Districts,
and Pavement Management funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor funds is provided in the form
of combining statements elsewhere in this report. N/
The City of Elk River adopts an annual budget for its General Fund and some special revenue funds. A
budgetary comparison statement has been provided for those funds to demonstrate compliance with
this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found starting on page 23 of this
report.
Proprietary funds. When the City of Elk River charges customers for the services it provides - whether
to outside customers or to other departments of the City - these services are generally reported in
proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the
statement of net position and the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. The
enterprise funds are the same as the business -type activities reported in the government -wide
statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds.
The City of Elk River uses enterprise funds to account for its municipal liquor, garbage, sewer, storm
water, water, and electric operations.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found starting on page 28 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Elk River's own program.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 36 of this report

Notes to Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the financial statements can be found starting on page 37 of this report.
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City of Elk River's share of net
pension liabilities (assets) for defined benefits plans, schedules of contributions, and progress in
funding its obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. Required
supplementary information can be found starting on page 74 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual
fund statements and schedules can be found starting on page 78 of this report.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Elk River, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $201,389,885 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far, the largest portion of the City of Elk River's net position (75 percent) reflects its investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire
those assets that is still outstanding. The City of Elk River uses these capital assets to provide services
to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Elk
River's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City of Elk River's net position (12.4 percent) represents resources that are
subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
position ($16,766,563) may be used to meet the City of Elk River's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.

Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $38,334,630. Approximately 10 percent of this total amount ($3,810,017) constitutes
unassigned fund balance. The remainder of fund balance ($34,524,613) is not available for new
spending because it is either 1) non -spendable ($129,140), 2) restricted ($12,245,679), 3) committed
($9,250,014) or 4) assigned ($12,899,780) for other purposes.
The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Elk River. The total fund balance of the
General fund increased $193,279 during the current year, resulting primarily from budgeted transfers in.
The YMCA Bonds fund decreased $118,476 due to the debt service payments on the crossover
advance refunding debt issued in 2013.
In
CITY OF ELK RIVER
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
The Pavement Management fund increased $1,040,854 due to the collection of franchise fees and
intergovernmental revenues in excess of current year expenditures.
Proprietary funds. The City of Elk River's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found
in the government -wide statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position in the respective proprietary funds are Municipal Liquor - $3,487,225, Sewer -
$3,267,800, Garbage - $391,463, Storm Water - $389,724, Electric - $9,829,270, and Water -
$4,101,135. The Garbage fund net position decreased $145,575 due to an increase in garbage
disposal fees and the Storm Water fund net position decreased $329,516 due mainly to transfers out
and capital contributions to other funds. All other proprietary funds had increases in net position.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
There was no difference between the original budget and the final budget for the General fund. Key
factors are as follows:
• Total revenue collections were 103% of budget. Other tax collections were $32,873 over
budget, intergovernmental revenue collections were $228,827 over budget and fines and
forfeits were $28,966 over budget.
• Expenditures were under budget by $60,962 due mainly to lower than anticipated fuel
costs and sound fiscal control by City departments.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget
The City of Elk River estimates that the demand for City services will begin to grow at increased levels
as compared to the prior years due to the improved economy and recent building activity. This was
taken into consideration in preparation of the City's 2017 budget. The property tax levy is set annually
and is adjusted as necessary to fund the cost of providing services to our citizens and customers.
Charges for services are evaluated each year and adjusted if warranted. The City expects to keep the
tax levy consistent in upcoming years.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget
The City of Elk River estimates that the demand for City services will begin to grow at increased levels
as compared to the prior years due to the improved economy and recent building activity. This was
taken into consideration in preparation of the City's 2017 budget. The property tax levy is set annually
and is adjusted as necessary to fund the cost of providing services to our citizens and customers.
Charges for services are evaluated each year and adjusted if warranted. The City expects to keep the
tax levy consistent in upcoming years.

CITY OF ELK RIVER
RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET TO THE
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
DECEMBER 31, 2016
Total Fund Balances for Governmental Funds
Total net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position is
different because:
Capital assets used in governmental funds are not financial resources and, therefore, are
not reported in the funds. Those assets consist of:
Land
Construction in Progress
Buildings
Other Improvements
Streets and Infrastructure
Equipment and Furniture
Total Capital Assets
Less: Accumulated Depreciation
40,876,833
437,501

66,110, 684
12, 764, 099
170,675,680
(72, 764, 861)
Long-term assets for pensions reported in governmental activities are not financial
resources and therefore are not reported as assets in the funds.
Some of the City's receivables (including property taxes, special assessments and other {
long-term receivables) will be collected after year-end, but are not available soon enough to
pay for the current period's expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows of
resources in the governmental funds.
The City's net pension liability and related deferred inflows and deferred outflows are
recorded only on the statement of net position. Balances at year end are:
Net Pension Liability
(18,541,369)
Deferred Inflows of Resources - Pensions
(2,276,632)
Deferred Outflows of Resources - Pensions'
11,481,277
Long-term liabilities that pertain to governmental funds, including bonds payable, are not
due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported as fund liabilities. All
liabilities - both current and long term - are reported in the statement of net position.
Bonds Payable
(29,530,000)

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
Net Change in Fund Balances -Total Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and proceeds from the sale of capital
assets as revenues. However, in the statement of activities, assets are capitalized and the cost is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period.
Capital Outlays - Improvement Costs (Net of Proceeds)
Gain on Disposal of Capital Assets
Proceeds from the Sale of Capital Assets
Capital Contributions
Depreciation Expense
The governmental funds report bond proceeds as financing sources, while repayment of bond
principal is reported as an expenditure. In the statement of net position, however, issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities and repayment of
principal reduces the liability. Interest is recognized as an expenditure in the governmental funds
when it is due. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense is recognized as it
accrues, regardless of when it is due. The net effect of these differences in the treatment of
general obligation bonds and related items is as follows:
Repayment of Principal on Long -Term Debt
Amortization of Bond Premium
Amortization of Deferred Charge on Refunding
Change in Accrued Interest Payable
Delinquent and certain other property taxes and special assessments receivable will be collected
subsequent to year-end, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current period's
expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows of resources and excluded from
revenues in the governmental funds. 1%,'0011111WIP,
Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2015
Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2016 _
In the statement of activities, compensated absences and other postemployment benefits are
measured by the amounts earned during the year. In the governmental funds, however,
expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used (essentially,
the amounts actually paid). During fiscal year 2016, compensated absence payable and other
post employment benefits payable changed.
Pension expenses in the governmental funds are measured by current year employee
contributions. Pension expenses on the statement of activities are measured by the change in net
pension liability and the related deferred inflows and outflows of resources.
Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The City of Elk River, Minnesota (the City) operates under the "Optional Plan A" form of
government as defined in Minnesota Statutes. Under this plan, the City Council,
composed of an elected mayor and four elected Council Members. The Council appoints
personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating to the City.
The financial statements and the accounting policies of the City conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to
governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the
accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial
reporting principles.
B. Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the
reporting entity include those of the City of Elk River (the primary government) and its
component units. The Elk River Municipal Utilities is considered to be part of the primary
government.
The Elk River Municipal Utilities was established and statutory authority is provided in
accordance with Chapter 412.321 of the Minnesota Statutes and is considered to be part
of the City. The Utilities Commission has three council approved members who serve
overlapping three year terms. The statutes provide the City Council all the discretionary
authority necessary to operate the utilities, except as its powers have been delegated to
the Commission. The Utility funds are included with the enterprise funds of this report.
Separate financial statements for the Utilities may be obtained at the Elk River Municipal
Utilities, 13069 Orono Pkwy, Elk River.
The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and
other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading
or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth
criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include
appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the
primary government to impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the
organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the
primary government. Based upon the application of these criteria, the City has the
following component units:
Blended Component Unit
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) was created to carry out economic and
industrial development and redevelopment within the City in accordance with policies
established by the City Council. The seven member board consists of three Council
Members, the Mayor and three other council approved members. The criteria that result
in the EDA being reported as a blended component unit include the fact that the EDA
may not exercise any of its authorized powers without prior approval of the City Council
and the City having operational responsibility. The EDA is reported as a special revenue
fund and does not issue separate financial statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Reporting Entity (Continued)
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is a legally separate entity created to
carry out community development consistent with policies established by the City
Council. The HRA is governed by five council appointed members, one of which is a
Council Member; however, the City does not have a financial benefit or burden
relationship and does not have operational responsibility. The criteria that results in the
HRA being reported as a discretely presented component unit include 1) the five council
appointed member board and 2) the ability of the City to impose its will on the HRA by
significantly influencing the programs, projects, activities or level of service performed by
the HRA by approving the HRA's budget. The HRA does not issue separate financial
statements and are included in the financial section of this report.
C. Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (statement of net position and statement of
activities) display information about the reporting government as a whole. These
statements include all of the financial activities of the City, except fiduciary funds. Since,
by definition, fiduciary fund assets are held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be
used for activities or obligations of the City, these funds are excluded from the
government -wide financial statements. 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 sales, fees, and charges
for support.
Aff 11 1k
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 or segment. Program revenues include:
1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, 2) operating grants and
contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function
or segment. Taxes and other internally directed revenues are reported as general
revenues.
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing
of related cash flows. Property taxes and special assessments are recognized as
revenues in the fiscal year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Government -Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government -wide financial statements. However, charges between the City's enterprise
funds and other functions are not eliminated, as that would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported in those functions. The City applies restricted resources first
when an expense is incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted resources are
available. Depreciation expense can be specifically identified by function (see Note 5).
Interest on long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is reported separately
on the statement of activities.
D. Fund Financial Statement Presentation
The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including
fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund
category — governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary — are presented. The emphasis of
fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed
in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated
and reported as nonmajor funds. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
The government reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The YMCA Bonds debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of
resources and payment of principal and interest on bonds used to finance the
construction of a recreation facility which is leased to the YMCA.
The Pavement Management fund is used to account for franchise taxes collected to fund
expenditures for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the City streets.
The government reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Municipal Liquor fund accounts for the operations of the City's off -sale liquor stores.
The Sewer fund accounts for the activities of the sanitary sewer treatment system.
The Garbage fund accounts for the activities of the garbage and recycling collection
programs.
The Storm Water fund accounts for the activities of the storm water collection system.
The Electric fund accounts for the activities of the electric distribution system.
The Water fund accounts for the activities of the water distribution system.
Additionally, the government reports the following fund types:
The Developer Escrow agency fund is used to account for resources received from
developers for the payment of expenses incurred by the City for private development
projects.
The FSA Plans agency fund is used to account for resources received from employees
for the City's self-administered medical and dependent care FSA plans.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. Fund Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, similar to the government -wide
financial statements. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses
from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from
providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary
fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's
enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The operating
expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting
this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary fund financial statements use the accrual basis of accounting. Agency funds,
the City's only fiduciary type, are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not
have a measurement focus.
E. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles. Annual appropriated budgets are legally adopted for the General fund and the
Library, Ice Arena, Landfill and Economic Development Authority special revenue funds.
Project -length financial plans are adopted for all capital projects funds. All annual
appropriations lapse at fiscal yearend.
On or before July 1 of each year, all departments and agencies of the City submit
requests for appropriation to the City's administrator so that a budget may be prepared.
Before September 30, the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review
and approval. The City Council holds public hearings and may add to, subtract from, or
change appropriations. Any changes in the budget must be within the revenue and
reserves estimated as available or the revenue estimates must be changed by an
affirmative vote by a majority of the City Council.
The budget is prepared by fund, function, and activity and includes information on the
past year, current year estimates, and requested appropriations for the next fiscal year.
Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level without
Council approval. Spending control is established by the amount of expenditures
budgeted for the fund, but management control is exercised at the department level.
Reported budget amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by Council approved
supplemental appropriations and budget transfers.

F. Cash and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand
deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less
from the date of acquisition. Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to
the extent available in authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are
allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation of
each fund. Investments are generally reported at fair value. The Minnesota Municipal
Money Market (4M) Fund is an external investment pool regulated by Minnesota
Statutes that is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but
follows the same regulatory rules of the SEC under Rule 2a7. The City's investment in
this fund is measured based on the amortized cost method that approximates fair value.
Cash and investments held by trustee reflect balances held in segregated accounts for
specific purposes. Interest earned on these investments is allocated directly to those
accounts.
G. Accounts Receivable _ _.
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. It is
the City's policy to charge uncollectibles directly to operations as accounts become
worthless. The Utilities has established a reserve for uncollectible accounts which is
adjusted annually based on the receivable activity. No substantial losses from present
receivable balances are anticipated. A summary of the Utilities' uncollectible account
balances at December 31, 2016 is as follows:
2016
Electric $ 109,845
Water 26,250
To $ 136,095
H. Property Taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the county in December
each year for collection the following year. The county is responsible for collecting all
property taxes for the City. Property tax levies are based on property values assessed
on January 2 of the preceding year. The county spreads all levies over all taxable
property. These taxes attach an enforceable lien on taxable property as of January 1
and are payable by the property owner in May and October each year. The taxes are
collected by the County Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the city three times a
year, in January, July and December.
In the fund financial statements, taxes that remain unpaid at December 31 are classified
as delinquent taxes and are offset by a deferred inflow of resources for delinquent taxes
not received within 60 days after year end. Deferred inflow of resources for taxes in
governmental activities is susceptible to full accrual on the government -wide statements.

I. Special Assessments
Special assessments receivable include the following components:
• Delinquent — includes amounts billed to property owners but not paid.
• Unavailable — includes assessment installments that will be billed to property
owners in future years.
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by
benefiting property owners. These assessments are recorded as receivables upon
certification to the county. In governmental fund financial statements, special
assessments are recognized as revenue when they are received in cash or within 60
days after year end. All governmental special assessments receivable not received
within 60 days after year end are offset by a deferred inflow of resources in the
governmental fund financial statements. At December 31, 2016, the total delinquent
special assessment receivable balance was $80,261.
J. Notes Receivable
Notes receivable consist primarily of loans made by the City to area businesses for
development purposes. The terms and interest rates of the individual loans vary.
K. Inventories and Prepaid Items
For the proprietary funds, inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market,
using the first -in, first -out (FIFO) method. Inventories are recorded as an expense when
sold or consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and
are recorded as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial statements.
The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather
than when purchased.
L. Property Held for Resale
These assets are recorded at the lower of original cost or current net realizable value in
the governmental fund which purchased them.
M. Restricted Assets
The amounts in the restricted cash account are set aside in accordance with the issuing
resolution for specific bond issues. They will be used for future debt service.

N. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g.,
roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years.
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value
of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Donated capital assets
are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
With the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by
governmental activities), the City chose to include all such items regardless of their
acquisition date. The City was able to obtain historical costs for the initial reporting of
these assets through public works project records. Major expenditures for improvements
or capital asset projects are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred
during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as
part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed, net of interest earned on the
invested proceeds over the same period.
Property, plant, and equipment of the City, as well as the component units, are
depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Years
Buildings and Improvements 10-40
Other Park Improvements 10-20
Machinery and Equipment 3-20
Public Domain Infrastructure 15-50
System Infrastructure 4-50
O. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to
a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this
category. A deferred charge on refunding reported in the government -wide statement of
net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying
value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized
over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. Deferred pension resources
are reported only in the statements of net position. This item results from actuarial
calculations and current year pension contributions made subsequent to the
measurement date.

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
O. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources (Continued)
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and fund financial statements
will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate
financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of
net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow
of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has only two types of items, which arise
under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category.
Accordingly, the items, state aid received for subsequent years and unavailable revenue,
are reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds
report unavailable revenues from three sources: property taxes, special assessments
and other. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the
period that the amounts become available. The state aid received for subsequent years
also qualifies and is presented as a deferred inflow of resources on the statement of net
position. Furthermore, the City has one additional item which qualifies for reporting in
this category on the statements of net position. The item, deferred pension resources, is
reported only in the statements of net position and results from actuarial calculations
involving net differences between projected and actuarial earnings on plan investments
and changes in proportions.
P. Pensions <Ne
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of
resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to/deductions from
PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by PERA except that PERA's fiscal year is June 30. For this purpose, plan
contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments
and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset), deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the defined benefit plan administered by
Elk River Fire Relief Association and additions to and deductions from the plan's
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by
the plan. Investments are reported at fair value.
Q. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition
criteria have been satisfied. Grants and entitlements received before eligibility
requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue. At December 31, 2016,
the balance reported in the governmental fund financial statements consists of $568,062
from unearned park dedication credits.

R. 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 amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond
issuance costs are expensed as incurred.
In the governmental fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are not reported as liabilities. The face amount of debt issued is reported as
other financing sources. Premiums or discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing sources or uses, respectively. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the
actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
S. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and
sick pay benefits. Unused vacation can be accrued by the employees up to a maximum
of 200 hours, the limit of which is determined by years of service. All vacation pay is
accrued when incurred in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they
have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. In the
event a liability is recorded in the governmental funds, the General fund would be used
to liquidate the compensated absences payable.
Employees can also accrue an unlimited amount of unused sick leave. Employees with
two or more years of service are entitled to receive severance pay equal to 50 percent of
unused sick leave, up to a maximum of 480 hours. The liability for severance pay is
accounted for the same as accrued vacation pay.

T. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based
primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon
the use of resources reported in governmental funds. These classifications are as
follows:
Nonspendable - consists of amounts that cannot be spent because it is not in spendable
form, such as prepaid items.
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 amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are
internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of the City Council. Those committed
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless City Council removes or changes
the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to previously commit
those amounts.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
T. Fund Balance (Continued)
Unassigned - is the residual classification for the General fund and also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds. The City uses restricted amounts to be spent first when
both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Additionally, the City would
first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund
balance when expenditures are made. The City Council has formally adopted a fund
balance policy for the General fund. The City's policy is to maintain a minimum
unassigned fund balance of 40-45% of budgeted operating expenditures for cash-flow
timing needs.
Assigned - consists of amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but
do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental
funds other than the General fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining
amount that is not restricted or committed. In the General fund, 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 City's Finance Director and/or City Administrator is authorized to establish
assignments of fund balance. 1641
U. Net Position
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: Air 11 Ilk
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 balances restricted when there are
limitations imposed on their use through external restrictions imposed by creditors,
grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted net position - All other net position balances that does not meet the
definition of "restricted" or "net investment in capital assets".
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
V. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that is representative of lending or borrowing arrangements is
reported as either "due to/from other funds" (current portion) or "advances to/from other
funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and
business -type activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as
"internal balances."

W. Revenues and Expenditures/Expenses
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.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges
to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the
cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.
All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating

In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository
banks authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts and 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 "AX or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that
securities pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal
Reserve Bank or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other
financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the
collateral.
The City has an investment policy in place to address custodial credit risk for deposits,
stating all deposits and investments must be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes 118A,
with collateralization levels of 110% of the market value of the principal and accrued
interest.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $17,491,619 while the balance
on the bank records was $17,643,205. At December 31, 2016, all deposits were fully
covered by federal depository insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held by the City's
agent in the City's name.
At year-end, the carrying amount of deposits for the HRA, a discretely presented
component unit, was $1,289,705 and the bank balance was $1,289,705. At December 31,
2016, all deposits were fully covered by federal depository insurance, surety bonds, or by
collateral held by the City's agent in the City's name.

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 uses
diversification of maturity dates as a means of managing exposure to fair value by
stating that no more than 30% of the City's investments may extend beyond a five-year
maturity.
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 in certain types
of investments. The City's investment policy does not further limit the ratings of their
investments.

Custodial Credit Risk — For an investment, the custodial credit risk 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 typically limits its
exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments, or by the control of who
holds the securities. As of December 31, 2016 all investments were insured or
registered, or securities were held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
Concentration Risk — This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of
the City's investment (considered 5% or more) in the securities of a single issuer and no
more than 50% of the City's total investment portfolio may be invested in certificates of
deposit or commercial paper.
At December 31, 2016, the following is a list of investments which individually comprise
more than 5% of the City's total investments:

Fair Value Measurements
The City uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets
and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
The City follows an accounting standard which defines fair value, establishes framework
for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs
used to measure fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. In accordance with this standard, the City has categorized its
investments, based on the priority of inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level
fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quotes and
prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level1) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments
fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
(50)
CITY OF ELK RIVER
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the combined statements of financial position
are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities are valued using inputs that are unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets accessible at the measurement date of identical financial
assets and liabilities.
NOTE 3 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
D. Investments (Continued)
Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for similar
assets or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full
term through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities are valued using pricing inputs which are
unobservable for the asset, inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions
about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset.

For the governmental activities, bonds payable can be summarized in the following
categories:
The general obligation bonds were used to construct a recreation facility, a public safety
facility, a public works facility and finance a street improvement project. The recreation
facility is leased to the YMCA, which has pledged to pay one-third of the bonds
outstanding. The bonds are general obligations of the City and are backed by its full faith
and credit.
In 2013 the EDA issued $9,685,000 G.O. Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A. The bonds
bear an average coupon rate of 2.2 percent and will be used to call $9,225,000 of the
outstanding principal of the EDA G.O. Bonds, Series 2007D on February 1, 2017. As a
result of the refunding issue, the EDA will save $1,001,112 in debt service payments and
achieve an economic gain (the present value of the difference between the old and the
new debt service) of $795,866.
For the business -type activities, the general obligation revenue bonds were issued to
finance capital improvements. The bonds are payable from future revenues pledged
from the Sewer and Water funds and are backed by the full faith and credit of the City.
Annual principal and interest payments on the bonds are expected to require about 21
and 13 percent of revenues from the Sewer and Water funds, respectively.

NOTE 9 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS —STATE-WIDE
A. Plan Description
The City of Elk River participates in the following cost-sharing multiple -employer defined
benefit pension plans 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.
1. General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General
Employees Retirement Fund (GERF). GERF members belong to either the
Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social
Security and Basic Plan members are not. The Basic Plan was closed to new
members in 1967. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan.
2. Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF)
The PEPFF, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a
local relief association, now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980.
Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers and firefighters belonging
to a local relief association that elected to merge with and transfer assets and
administration to PERA.
B. Benefits Provided J^ W
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are
established by state statute and can only be modified by the state legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related
to the funding ratio of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90 percent funded for
two consecutive years are given 2.5% increases. Members in plans that have not
exceeded 90% funded, or have fallen below 80%, are given 1 % increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current
provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are
entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at
the time they last terminated their public service.

CITY OF ELK RIVER
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016
NOTE 9 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS —STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
1. GERF 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 and Basic Plan
members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step -rate benefit accrual
formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity
accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2% of average salary for each of the first 10
years of service and 2.7% for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a
Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for each of the first 10 years and
1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of
average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated Plan members for
each year of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available
when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For
members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for
unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66. Disability benefits are available for
vested members and are based upon years of service and average high -five salary.
2. PEPFF Benefits
AOF X
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1,
2014, vest on a prorated basis from 50% after five years up to 100% after 10 years of
credited service. Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014, vest on
a prorated basis from 50% after 10 years up to 100% after 20 years of credited
service. The annuity accrual rate is 3% of average salary for each year of service. For
PEPFF who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age
plus years of service equal at least 90.
C. Contributions
'40�x
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee
contributions. Contribution rates can only be modified by the state legislature.
1. GERF Contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1 %
and 6.50%, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2016. The
City was required to contribute 11.78% of pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50% for
Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2016. The City contributions to the GERF
for the year ended December 31, 2016, were $690.811. The City contributions were
equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.8% of their annual covered salary in
calendar year 2016. The City was required to contribute 16.20% of pay for PEPFF
members in calendar year 2016. The City contributions to the PEPFF for the year
ended December 31, 2016, were $495,478. The City contributions were equal to the

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2016, actuarial valuation was determined using
the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.70% 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 were based on RP -2014 tables for males
or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments. Benefit increases for retirees are
assumed to be 1 % per year for all future years for the General Employees Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016, valuation were based on the results of
actuarial experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the General
Employees Plan was completed in 2015.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2016 for the General
Employees Fund:
• The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per
year through 2035 and 2.5% per year thereafter, to 1.0% per year for all future
years.
The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single
discount rate was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%.
Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated
June 30, 2015. The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and
inflation were decreased by 0.25% to 3.25% for payroll growth and 2.50% for
inflation.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 7.5%. The State
Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of
the reasonableness of the long-term expected rate of return on a regular basis 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
arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized below:

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.5%, a reduction from
the 7.9% used in 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate
assumed that employee and employer contributions will be made at the rate specified in
statute. Based on that assumption, each of the pension plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active
and inactive employees. 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

NOTE 10 DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Three council members of the City of Elk River are covered by the Public Employees
Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a multiple -employer deferred compensation plan
administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). 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 percent of salary which is matched by the elected official's employer.

NOTE 11 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS— FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A. Plan Description
All members of the Elk River Fire Department (the Department) are covered by a defined
benefit plan administered by the Elk River Fire Department Relief Association (the
Association). As of December 31, 2014, the plan covered 40 active fire fighters and 5
vested terminated firefighters whose pension benefits are deferred. The plan is a single
employer retirement plan and 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 an insurance premium tax in accordance with the Volunteer
Firefighter's Relief Association Financing Guidelines Act of 1971 (chapter261 as
amended by chapter509 of Minnesota statutes 1980). Funds are also derived from
investment income.
B. Benefits Provided
A fire fighter who completes at least 20 years as an active member of the
Department is entitled, after age 50, to a full service pension upon retirement.
The bylaws of the Association also provide for an early vested service pension for a
retiring member who has completed fewer than 20 years of service. The reduced
pension, available to members with a minimum of 5 years of service, shall be equal to
40 percent of the pension as prescribed by the bylaws. This percentage increases 4
percent per year so that at 20 years of service, the full amount prescribed is paid.
Members who retire with less than 20 years of service and have reached the age of 50
years and have completed at least 5 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 the applicable non -
forfeitable percentage of pension.

C. Contributions
Minnesota statutes, chapters 424 and 424A authorize pension benefits for volunteer fire
relief associations. 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 $179,192 in fire state aid
to the plan on behalf of the City Fire Department for the year ended December 31, 2016,
which was recorded as a revenue. Required employer contributions are calculated
annually based on statutory provisions. The City's statutorily -required contribution to the
plan for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0 but the City voluntarily contributed
$30,000.
D. Pension Costs
At December 31, 2016, the City reported a net pension asset of $480,918 for the plan.
The net pension liability (asset) was measured as of December 31, 2015. The total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability (asset) in accordance with
GASB 68 was determined by Van Iwaarden Associates applying an actuarial formula to
specific census data certified by the Department as of December 31, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of
$176,635.
At December 31, 2016, the City reported deferred outflows of resources, including its
contributions subsequent to the measurement date, related to pension from the following

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability at December 31, 2015 was determined using the entry age
normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Retirement Eligibility
Age 50 or After 20 Years of Service
If both Age 50 and Minimum 5 Year of Service but not 20 Years, Pension
Reduced 4% for Each Year Less Than 20 Years
Inflation 2.75% per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 2.75% per year
Investment Rate of Return 6.00%
20 -Year Municipal Bond Yield 3.57%
The 6.0 percent long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was
determined using a building-block method in which best estimates for expected future
real rates of return (expected returns, net of inflation) were developed for each asset
class using the plan's target investment allocation along with long-term return
expectations by asset class. Inflation expectations were applied to derive the nominal
rate of return for the portfolio.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major
asset class are summarized in the following table:
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.0 percent. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions
to the 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 12 POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
A. Plan Description 1W_ Ar
__.
The City provides other postemployment health insurance benefits for retired employees
through two defined benefit plans: Municipal Retirees Health Plan (MRHP), a single -
employer plan, and Utilities Retirees Health Plan (URHP), a multi-employer plan. Each
plan provides benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents through the City's group
health insurance plans, which cover both active and retired members. Since the
premium is a blended rate determined on the active and retiree population, the retirees
are receiving an implicit rate subsidy. The MRHP and the URHP do not issue publicly
available financial reports.
B. Funding Policy
Contribution requirements are reviewed at the time changes are made to the plans.
Benefit provisions for MRHP are established and amended by the City. The Utilities has
been delegated authority to establish and amend benefit provisions for URHP. Eligible
retirees receiving benefits are required to pay 100% of the total premium.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City's annual OPEB cost for each plan is calculated based on the annual required
contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance
with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents the level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to
exceed thirty years. The URHP has elected to calculate the ARC and related information
using the alternative measurement method permitted for employers in plans with fewer
than one hundred total plan members.

D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan
(the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of
benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-
term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent
with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
For the MRHP, in the January 1, 2014 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit
actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4% investment
rate of return and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 7.5% initially, reduced
incrementally to an ultimate rate of 5% after ten years. The actuarial value of assets was
not determined as the City has not advance -funded its obligation. The plan's unfunded
actuarial accrued liability was amortized as a level dollar amount over a closed basis.

NOTE 12 POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (CONTINUED)
D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions (Continued)
The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2015 was over no more than thirty
years.
For the URHP, the following simplifying assumptions were made:
Retirement age for active employees — Based on the historical average retirement age
for the covered group, active plan members were assumed to retire at age 60, or at the
first subsequent year in which the member would qualify for benefits.
Participation Rate — It is assumed that 10% of active participants continue coverage
until age 65. Participants are assumed to continue in their current coverage type
(single or family). It is assumed that 100% of retirees will continue their current
coverage until age 65.
Life Expectancy — Life expectancies were based on mortality tables from the National
Center for Health Statistics. The 2000 United States Life Tables for Males and for
Females were used.
Turnover — Non -group -specific age -based turnover data from GASB Statement 45
were used as the basis for assigning active member a probability of remaining
employed until the assumed retirement age and for developing an expected future
working lifetime assumption for purposes of allocating to periods the present value of
total benefits to be paid,
Healthcare cost trend rate — The expected rate of increase in healthcare insurance
premiums was based on projections of the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services. A rate of 7.5% initially, reduced to an ultimate rate of
5% after eight years, was used.
Health insurance premiums — 2014 health insurance premiums for retirees were used
per the valuation report.
Withdrawal — The probability that an employee will remain employed until the assumed
retirement age was determined using non -group specific age -based turnover data
provided in Table 1 in Paragraph 35b of GASB 45.
Actuarial Method — Projected Unit Credit with 30 -year amortization of the unfunded
liability.
For the URHP, a discount rate of 4% was used based on the historical and expected
returns of the Utilities' short-term investment portfolio. In addition, a simplified version of
the entry age actuarial cost method was used. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is
being amortized as a level dollar amount over an open basis. The remaining
amortization period at December 31, 2015 was thirty years.

A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of damage to and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters
for which the City carries insurance. The City obtains insurance through participation in
the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) which is a risk sharing pool with
approximately 800 other governmental units. The City pays an annual premium to
LMCIT for its workers compensation and property and casualty insurance. The LMCIT is
self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure for claims above a
prescribed dollar amount for each insurance event. Settled claims have not exceeded
the City's coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of
the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims
that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The City's management is not aware
of any incurred but not reported claims.
B. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment
by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including
amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount,
if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at
this time, although the government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The City's tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office
of the State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could
become a liability of the applicable fund. The City's management is not aware of any
instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial
statements.
C. Territorial Acquisition Agreement
In 1991, the Utilities entered into a 20 year agreement to transfer ownership of electric
plant and electric service to customers in certain areas receiving electric service from
Anoka Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AEC). In 2010 the Utility completed the final purchase
under this agreement.
The agreed cost of property purchased from AEC is net book value. The Utilities also
pays AEC for loss of revenue for each area acquired based on a formula outlined in the
agreement.
In addition, the Utilities will compensate AEC for the loss of revenue from the future sale
of electricity to electric customers in the areas acquired from AEC for a period of ten
years from the date of sale of each individual area.
The Utilities paid $214 in 2016 for loss of revenues under this agreement. All amounts
paid are included in property and equipment.

D. Territorial Acquisition Agreement (Continued)
In 2015, the Utilities entered into a 10 year agreement to transfer ownership of electric
plant and electric service to customers in eight designated areas receiving service from
Connexus Energy. Specific payment terms have been negotiated for 5 years, and if any
of the eight areas are not acquired within this timeframe, the payment terms may be
renegotiated.
The agreed cost of property purchased from Connexus Energy is net book value,
integration expenses, and a loss of revenue payment. The loss of revenue payment for
each area acquired is based on a formula outlined in the agreement, payable for the
subsequent ten years after initial purchase.
The Utilities acquired the first of the designated service areas 1 and 2 in 2015 and 2016,
respectively, for $877,807 and $663,583. The first loss of revenue payment will be made
in 2017 for $411,157. All amounts paid are included in property and equipment.
E. Conduit Debt Obligations
From time to time, the City has issued revenue bonds to provide financial assistance to
private -sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial,
multi -family and educational facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are
secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payment received from the
benefited entity. Neither the City, the state, nor any political subdivision thereof is
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,
2016, there were five series of revenue bonds outstanding, with an aggregate principal
payable amount of $12,508,407.
F. Commitments AONX
The Utilities has received notice from their power supplier regarding the existing all
requirements power contract exercising their right to give ten years notice to cancel the
contract. The cancellation date would be effective September 30, 2018. On May 14,
2013 the Utilities signed a new agreement with Minnesota Municipal Power Agency
(MMPA).
The Utilities entered into an agreement in 2007 with Central Minnesota Municipal Power
Agency (CMMPA) to acquire an interest in the CAPX Initiative Brookings Project, a
power transmission line in Minnesota. The project is a 250 mile, 345 kV AC transmission
line with a rating of 2,300 MW, between Brookings, South Dakota, and the Southeast
Twin Cities. In 2011 there was increased opportunity for investment, and subsequent
agreements provide the Utilities with an ownership share of $5.6 million or 18.89
percent. The return on this investment through CMMPA is designed to provide
approximately $124,000 annually over the 40 year project life. The transmission
payments for 2016 were $51,478 of which $7,141 was receivable at December 31, 2016.

NOTE 14 TAX ABATEMENTS t%�N
The City of Elk River has established a tax abatement program pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815. As part of the City's program the City enters
into agreements through the use of tax increment financing districts under Minnesota
Statutes Section 469.174 to 469.179 (the Tax Increment Act). Under these statutes the City
annually abates taxes collected above the district's base tax capacity which is established
during adoption of the tax increment district. These agreements are established to foster
economic development and redevelopment through creating jobs, removing blight and
providing affordable housing.
For fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the City has two agreements established under
Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174 to 469.179 which resulted in property taxes totaling
$260,375 being abated. Individual abatement payments which constituted more than 1% of

DECEMBER 31, 2016
Total Fund Balance - Housing and Redevelopment Authority $ 2,019,129
Total net position reported for govermental activities in the statement of net
position is different because:
Capital assets used in governmental funds are not financial resources
and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. Those assets consist of
Land $
257,100
Other Improvements
174,290
Total Capital Assets
431,390
Less: Accumulated Depreciation
(47,445)
383,945
Some of the receivables (including property taxes and other long-term
receivables) will be collected after year-end, but are not available soon
enough to pay for the current period's expenditures and, therefore, are
reported as deferred inflows of resources in the governmental funds.
2,387
The net pension liability and related deferred inflows and deferred
outflows are recorded only on the statement of net position. Balancesat
year end are:
Net Pension Liability $

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITIURES,
AND CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
Net Change in Fund Balances - Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and proceeds from
the sale of capital assets as revenues. However, in the statement of activities,
assets are capitalized and the cost is allocated over their estimated useful lives
and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which
depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period.
Depreciation Expense
Delinquent and certain other property taxes receivable will be collected
subsequent to year-end, but are not available soon enough to pay for the
current period's expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows
of resources and excluded from revenues in the governmental funds.
Unavailable Revenue - Property Taxes
Pension expenses in the governmental funds are measured by current year
employee contributions. Pension expenses on the statement of activities are
measured by the change in net pension liability and the related deferred inflows
and outflows of resources.

' The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable market property values.
Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the county's and school
district's taxable market value that is within the city's boundaries and dividing it by the county's
and school district's total taxable market value.
2 Excludes debt payable from enterprise revenue.
Note: 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 business of the City of Elk River.
This process recognizes that, when considering the city'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.
